It was April.
Perhaps it was because more people died this year, or for some other reason, but it rained unusually frequently.
"Hello, your meal has arrived. If you have time, please give a five-star review!~"
Familiar with the area, Fang Qingyu, clad in a raincoat, made it on time despite the wind and rain.
Raindrops constantly lashed his face with the wind.
He was almost completely soaked.
It was a bit cold.
But his heart was warm.
He navigated through the city while looking at the Atlas.
"Congratulations! You have successfully unlocked the 'Delivery Driver' profession!"
"Congratulations! You have gained the basic professional skill 'Electric Bike Driving'!"
The Electric Bike, which he already handled with ease, now felt even more like an extension of his body.
Counting this, he now had four professions.
Fitness Enthusiast, Security Guard, Delivery Driver, and Martial Arts Apprentice.
And all of them were progressing simultaneously.
This feeling of constant improvement, every moment, made him unable to stop.
His balance also continued to grow.
Fang Qingyu had carefully considered it while delivering food: although a price of ten thousand was exorbitant, he still had to go.
Even if he currently only had ten thousand one hundred yuan.
According to normal financial principles, it would have been impossible to go.
After all, he still had to live.
But he had read a saying in his previous life that Fang Qingyu found very insightful.
A martial artist only seizes the day.
While he was young and still had the drive, if he didn't strive now, was he going to wait until he was old?
That made no sense.
Adding to that was the red title of 【Martial Artist】.
Fang Qingyu could vaguely sense that this world was not simple.
However, everything still needed to be explored slowly.
For now, delivering food was more important.
Time quietly passed.
As evening arrived, neon lights slowly climbed the buildings, illuminating Qingjian City.
Fang Qingyu first went home to change clothes before heading to the bar.
He entered through the back door and took the radio.
Neon lights swept across the dance floor, drumbeats pierced eardrums, bottles clinked crisply against ice, people swayed in the smoke, and high heels crushed reflections.
Currently, Fang Qingyu treated every profession with great seriousness, as it was difficult to gain experience by slacking off.
Fortunately, nothing happened today.
Fang Qingyu meticulously scanned his surroundings, his left hand on the radio, ready to call at any time.
Time quietly reached midnight.
A distinct pop-up suddenly appeared before him, catching his attention.
"Congratulations! Your basic professional skill 'Vigilance' has leveled up to Lv.2, rewarding you with one attribute point."
It leveled up?
Fang Qingyu was slightly startled and opened the Security Guard's professional panel.
"Profession: Security Guard Lv.1 (42/100)"
"Basic Professional Skill: Vigilance Lv.2 (1/200)"
These past two days, he had been almost completely drained.
He had actually forgotten that when he stopped those two hotheads the day before yesterday, both the Security Guard and Vigilance experience had increased significantly.
Today finally saw the first level-up.
Fang Qingyu eagerly opened the introductory page.
He had been coveting this attribute point for a long time.
Currently, there were two points available for use that he hadn't yet touched.
Fang Qingyu focused his consciousness on the attribute point.
A surge of information immediately flooded his mind.
He was stunned for quite a while, but fortunately, the people in front of him were still having fun, and no accidents occurred.
When he came back to his senses, Fang Qingyu suppressed his excited feelings.
"It's just as I thought...!"
When he obtained the 【Professional Genealogy Chart】, he already knew it was for the purpose of learning many arts to refine one, but knowing and actually being able to use it were completely different feelings.
It was like knowing you would get a million yuan in the future versus already having a million yuan.
Only when it was in hand could his heart settle down.
Since that was the case.
He had to think carefully.
Fang Qingyu looked at the information on the introductory page; a plus sign appeared next to each of the four-dimensional attributes.
Mr. Qin's words in his mind were still vivid.
His physical foundation was very poor.
In fact, most people were like this.
Only a small number of people who trained in sports, or people like Qi Hao, would have better physiques at this age.
So adding to physique was the best option.
Thinking this, Fang Qingyu no longer hesitated.
To prevent any accidents.
He picked up the radio and said something before leaving his post.
"Ah ah... mm... hm..."
Ignoring the lewd sounds from the restrooms, Fang Qingyu found a single stall and locked the door.
He opened the page.
He clicked on the plus sign next to Physique.
"Physique: 8.1 → 9.1"
The page instantly changed.
Before Fang Qingyu could check, his body also underwent a drastic transformation.
The warm current that he could only vaguely perceive when he first started Stance Training now swept through his body like a river.
His bones made a dull sound like bamboo shoots breaking through the earth.
The warm current that had been dormant in his meridians suddenly turned into magma, burning from his tailbone all the way to the top of his head, as if every pore was exhaling scorching white steam.
The entire process lasted for about ten minutes.
Fang Qingyu experienced firsthand what it felt like for his body to become powerful.
He opened his eyes and loosely clenched his fingers...
His previously tired and sore body now felt like it had inexhaustible strength.
It gave him the illusion that he could destroy anything.
Moreover, just by looking with his naked eye, his clothes seemed to have shrunk a bit.
The muscles in his arms were subtly forming under his shirt.
His once well-fitting shirt now felt a bit constricting.
"Hoo..."
Fang Qingyu let out a long breath.
He had thought that the massage at Qingtan Club was already unbeatable!
He didn't expect that adding points was the real joy.
"And... there was an unexpected surprise."
"Mr. Qin said my foundation wasn't good."
"But now, adding points can increase physique and also relieve fatigue throughout the body. Doesn't this mean it's like going to Qingtan Club???"
Fang Qingyu muttered, his eyes growing brighter.
If he calculated it this way, he had unknowingly saved many tens of thousands of yuan.
However, there was still a significant gap compared to what Mr. Qin implied about going every day.
The ancients said, 'Poor in literature, rich in martial arts.'
They truly did not deceive me.
Fang Qingyu shook the illusion of invincibility from his head, walked out of the restroom, and returned to his post.
The security work ended with the final "Everybody, see you tomorrow!"
But the rewarding night was not over yet.
After handing over to the staff, Fang Qingyu rode his Electric Bike home.
The 【Fitness Enthusiast】 profession could also increase attributes.
Naturally, he couldn't miss it.
Moreover... the Fitness Enthusiast profession had the most basic professional skills currently!
Knowing that there were attribute point rewards, it was even more impossible to let it go.
An hour later, Fang Qingyu looked at the gains on his panel.
"Profession: Fitness Enthusiast Lv.1 (68/100)"
"Basic Professional Skill 1: Push-ups Lv.1 (71/100)"
"Basic Professional Skill 2: Pull-ups Lv.1 (73/100)"
"Basic Professional Skill 3: Squat Lv.1 (74/100)"
"It seems in a few days, I'll have a big harvest of attribute points."
Looking at the panel, Fang Qingyu's sense of accomplishment was very satisfied.
"When the difficulty increases later, I can buy equipment and unlock more skills."
By then...
The rewarding night finally came to an end.
