After maxing out my affinity, my signature weapon kept evolving.

The Great Qian Empire, outside Renqiu City.

Under the blazing sun, it relentlessly released its heat, scorching the earth and causing unbearable suffering to the people on it.

But Xie Wenyuan seemed tireless and unfazed by the scorching heat, carrying the large trees back and forth.

What's even more surprising is that each piece of this ironwood weighs several hundred kilograms, and while others can only carry one at most, he can carry three at the same time, and much faster than others.

Such behavior was seen as freakish by his fellow workers.

"Look at this silly boy, he does the work of five people and doesn't even eat much. I really don't know what to say to him."

"You wouldn't believe it, he has a mute sister who is in very poor health. Xie is working so hard to save money for his sister's medical treatment."

"Wasn't it said this kid was adopted? Why is he working so hard even though she's not his biological sister?"

"Just because she's not my biological sister doesn't mean she can't be my romantic sister, right? Hehehe."

Xie Wenyuan didn't take their words to heart, treating them as just adding some spice to his monotonous work.

Since he was reincarnated into this world eighteen years ago, he has understood that this place is not as easy to talk to as modern society. These so-called coworkers all have their own small groups, and if you make them unhappy, they will really kill you.

Fortunately, even if they all joined forces, they couldn't defeat Xie Wenyuan; this was based on experience.

As noon approached, the employer came out of the house and shouted at the laborers:

"You've received your paychecks! Come and settle your accounts!"

Don't be fooled by their lack of enthusiasm for work; when it comes to something like this, they run faster than rabbits.

However, Xie Wenyuan understood. After all, there was a famous saying in his previous life: "With only two thousand yuan a month, what kind of life are you living on?"

"Xie Wenyuan, this is your wages for this month, a total of thirty taels of silver. Take it."

The workers around gasped in astonishment. What kind of beast was this? It could earn so much money just by moving timber.

A smile appeared on Xie Wenyuan's usually cold face, a smile that was rare for him. His handsome face stunned the landlady in the room.

"Alright, this is the last time you'll be working for me here. Let's part ways amicably and meet again someday!"

This left everyone, including Xie Wenyuan, completely baffled. They were doing so well, why did they suddenly break up?

"Why? We still have plenty of ironwood! If you stop us from working, what will we eat?"

"Yes, what do you want to eat?"

The employer, looking helpless, quickly explained to everyone:

"Brothers, it's not that I don't want you to do it anymore, it's that someone doesn't want us to. A young master from town has his eye on this land and wants me to move everything out within three days. Once you've loaded everything onto the truck this afternoon, it'll be over. Otherwise, they'll send someone to...sigh!"

Seeing his employer crying his eyes out, Xie Wenyuan felt a pang of sympathy. Not only had the employer never deducted their wages, but he had also never skimped on their meals; in his previous life, he would have been considered a conscientious boss. But kindness didn't bring good fortune; this world was truly unjust.

"Alright, don't be sad. Even without me, you can still eat with your strength. Just don't do anything foolish. They have a Spirit Master with Spiritual Martial Arts overseeing them. We weak Spirit Apprentices shouldn't even think about causing trouble."

Everyone was shocked; it was actually a spirit master!

In this world, everyone can use spiritual power to cultivate, which is called spiritual cultivation; while some spiritual cultivators are born with their own unique martial art, which is called spiritual martial art.

The laborers here are all people with low talent and no spiritual martial arts skills. They can only sell their labor and will remain at the level of spiritual disciple for their entire lives.

Those with slightly better talent will be selected and trained by gangs or large families, and will be able to break through to become a Spirit Warrior, and the next step is to become a Spirit Master.

Xie Wenyuan was also somewhat annoyed. Not to mention that his job had inexplicably disappeared, he couldn't move the wood anymore. How was he supposed to complete the tasks given by the system?

[Host: Xie Wenyuan]

[Lingwu: Rusty Iron Knife (Common Weapon)]

[Current term: Tetanus Blade (White)]

[Cultivation Level: Low-level Spiritualist]

[Affection level binding target: Zhao Yue (100)]

[Current Task: Transport Ironwood (81/100), Completion Reward: One chance to refresh the attribute]

[Main Quest: Gain more favorability points with women who meet the system's standards; this will allow you to evolve your Spirit Weapon.]

About half a year ago, Xie Wenyuan was moving wood when he suddenly awakened this special weapon evolution system, which also allowed him, who originally had no spiritual weapon, to finally awaken.

Although it was just a rusty iron knife, this was only the beginning.

The reason for the system's awakening was his adopted sister, his de facto fiancée—Zhao Yue, a pure and beautiful young woman, who confided her feelings to him.

After that, the system issued him a series of tasks to help him improve the attributes of his spirit weapon.

"Once I get the golden attribute and complete the evolution of my spirit weapon, I can enter the advanced spiritual cultivation academy to treat Yue'er's poison. Moreover, I will gain the means to take revenge."

After finishing the lunch provided by his employer, Xie Wenyuan resumed his hard work, his reckless pace leaving all the laborers speechless.

Because of the hot weather, Xie Wenyuan took off his shirt, revealing his muscular upper body. Sweat poured down his face, soaking every trace he left behind.

While admiring the muscles, the sharp-eyed proprietress also noticed a glaring scar on Xie Wenyuan's lower abdomen.

Finally, the remaining nineteen were completed, and the task issued by the system this time was finally finished.

[Host has completed the task and is rewarded with one entry refresh opportunity.]

"refresh."

In the past, every entry was white, but this time it skipped green and blue and refreshed to a purple entry.

[Emerging Talent (Purple): Your first attack on each target cannot be dodged or blocked.]

"Wow, that's strong?"

In a small corner where Xie Wenyuan was all alone, he turned into a meme, staring incredulously at his own entry.

Today was truly a day of incredible good fortune; when I get home, I'll have to ask Yue'er to cook a couple more dishes.

But just as he was rejoicing alone, several uninvited guests arrived outside the lumberyard fence.

"Hey, Old Deng, didn't I tell you to move out right away? Why are you still dawdling around here?"

When the employer, Old Deng, saw the four people, he quickly went to greet them.

"Oh dear, gentlemen, I'm just finishing up the last bit, and wasn't the deadline the day after tomorrow?"

"Enough with the nonsense! You're not taking my young master's words seriously. Smash it!"

The leader shoved Old Deng aside, broke through the fence, and went inside, smashing whatever he could find, much like the Hulk.

Upon hearing the commotion, Xie Wenyuan rushed to the scene and found Old Deng and his wife slumped on the ground.

"Stop, everyone! What are you doing here?"
