PS: Friends who enjoy this book, you can log into your起点account and add this book to your bookshelf. A few recommendation votes would be greatly appreciated. The book is currently ranked 23rd on the new book list and 8th on the science fiction new book list. It's really pitiful, so I hope all the gentlemen and ladies can lend a helping hand.

The environment in the high-voltage distribution room is very poor. The heat emitted from the rows of distribution cabinets makes the temperature here 10 to 20 degrees higher than the surface temperature.

In short, in winter, you can sleep comfortably in a tank top at night without a blanket, while in summer, the temperature is over 50 degrees, both day and night.

As Wei Xiaobei put it, it's not a place for humans to stay.

There is only one air conditioner above the desk where the monitoring computer is placed, which can bring a bit of coolness.

While Tian Xuecun went to change clothes, Wei Xiaobei checked the duty records of the previous night shift. Fortunately, nothing major happened.

After Tian Xuecun returned and they exchanged greetings, Wei Xiaobei took the duty records and started wandering around the high-voltage distribution room.

After copying the data from the high-voltage distribution cabinets, high and low voltage converters, and other places, Wei Xiaobei returned to the monitoring computer and sat down, feeling a bit hungry?

Is his stomach really that quick to get hungry?

Wei Xiaobei rubbed his stomach, picked up a mop, and went to the bathroom. After washing the mop several times, he returned and mopped the high-voltage distribution room from top to bottom.

Looking at the spotlessly clean high-voltage distribution room, Wei Xiaobei felt a bit pleased. Any labor that yields good results always makes one feel good.

He ran to the door and looked around; no one was coming. Wei Xiaobei closed the door and started punching the sandbag hanging on the wall behind the door.

For Wei Xiaobei, his entertainment options are limited: reading novels, playing games, and hitting the sandbag, among other physical exercises.

This sandbag is something Wei Xiaobei secretly brought to work. Working in the high-voltage distribution room, which might seem like a good job to outsiders—sitting there all day, no need to go out on duty, and even sleeping during the night shift—this is a job that seems almost too good to be true.

Of course, except for the unbearable high temperature.

Wei Xiaobei doesn't see it that way. The job is too monotonous, so he has to find some fun for himself.

Exercising during work hours is a good choice.

If not, Wei Xiaobei's body would have collapsed long ago.

Combining exercise with the release of electric current can stimulate and gradually enhance strength and agility?

Wei Xiaobei threw a few punches and remembered the introduction to his special ability.

Let's give it a try and see if it works.

Wei Xiaobei's heart stirred, and his skin tingled as a current surged through his body.

Punch, punch, punch!

But soon, Wei Xiaobei realized how much physical energy it takes to maintain the release of electric current while exercising.

After more than a hundred punches, Wei Xiaobei almost collapsed when he returned to his seat.

His muscles trembled, and the sensation of electric current continued to course through his body.

This feeling was not pleasant.

Wei Xiaobei's control over the release of electric current was not very skilled, so he suffered a lot while maintaining the punching.

Hmm, it's been half an hour; it's time to copy the monitoring data.

Wei Xiaobei endured the discomfort and reached for the pen.

As his hand approached the pen, Wei Xiaobei saw a spark between his hand and the pen's casing, very slight but clearly visible.

His hand tingled slightly and pulled back.

He had already stopped the release of electric current.

Wei Xiaobei looked at his hands and the pen with some uncertainty, thought for a moment, and then reached for the pen.

This time, no spark appeared between the pen and his hand. Perhaps there was too much static electricity accumulated on his body?

While copying the data displayed on the monitoring computer, Wei Xiaobei speculated in his mind.

But Wei Xiaobei also understood a principle: the floor is made of steel plates, and any static electricity would be conducted away immediately, making it impossible to accumulate to a level that could cause a discharge.

As an electrician, even a new one who has only worked for three months, he understands this.

The floor of the high-voltage distribution room is made of steel plates laid half a meter above the ground. This not only facilitates the passage and maintenance of various cables but also prevents the accumulation of static electricity.

It's important to note that the accumulation of static electricity in the high-voltage distribution room is a serious issue. Without the steel plates, leaving the room could result in a sudden discharge, potentially causing one to be knocked unconscious by the static electricity accumulated on their body.

This is not a joke; such incidents have occurred in the past before the use of steel plates.

After the steel plates were used, such incidents were reduced to almost zero, as the thick steel plates can easily conduct away the static electricity that rapidly accumulates on the human body.

After copying the monitoring data, Wei Xiaobei took the record book and walked toward the rows of distribution cabinets.

In front of and behind the distribution cabinets, thick rubber blocks are laid on the steel plate floor to prevent electricians from being electrocuted while operating the cabinets.

Wei Xiaobei noticed an unusual sensation in his body as soon as his feet touched the rubber blocks. With his legs isolated from the steel plates by the rubber blocks, he felt a slight tingling and numbness.

For an electrician, this phenomenon is very clear.

It's the sensation of a slight electric current passing through the body.

It seems that the spark when touching the pen was not an illusion.

It appears that his control over the release of electric current is still very unfamiliar.

As he watched the electric sparks that appeared when his fingers touched the metal casing of the distribution cabinet, Wei Xiaobei's mind became a bit confused. He needed to find a way to train his control over the electric current.

Standing in front of the transformers, which are about two meters tall, Wei Xiaobei suddenly felt the terrifying energy hidden inside. Compared to the weak current in his body, this massive electrical energy made him feel a sense of awe.

The day shift passed quickly for Wei Xiaobei. Copying various monitoring data and occasionally following Engineer Zhang's instructions to switch the circuit breakers of the distribution cabinets made the time fly by.

The only trouble was that Wei Xiaobei felt extremely hungry at noon.

Originally, a 3.5 yuan boxed meal would have been enough to fill his stomach, but Wei Xiaobei had to buy five boxed meals to satisfy his hunger!

Damn!

A single lunch cost 17.5 yuan, which made Wei Xiaobei a bit anxious.

At this rate, three meals a day would cost him 45 yuan.

Wei Xiaobei had just been promoted from a probationary to a regular employee, with a monthly salary of 1,200 yuan. In his hometown, this salary is not low, but in a big city like Cuihu City, 1,200 yuan, after deducting rent, food expenses, and various other expenses, leaves Wei Xiaobei with less than 200 yuan per month.
