Chapter 18

Now that the life profession has been activated, let's celebrate with a ticket, brothers and sisters!

...

Construction worker, though it's a physically demanding job, has the advantage of a decent income. Unlike other places, Tianfu has never had a case of wage arrears for migrant workers, and wages are even settled daily. If you ask where migrant workers in the country most want to work, it's not Longcheng, not Tianhai, and certainly not abroad, but Tianfu.

Tianfu is the paradise for all migrant workers.

Liu Menglong's strength is now seven times that of an ordinary person. Since the Dream System was activated, there seems to be no sign of physical fatigue. In the early hours of today, Liu Menglong found that his stamina remained unchanged, very abundant, as if he had infinite energy. He wondered if this was a benefit bestowed by the system.

Seven times the strength of an ordinary person, plus infinite stamina, it would be a waste not to become a construction worker.

Liu Menglong decided that his first life profession would be a construction worker!

But what kind of life profession can a construction worker activate? A laborer?

Thinking about this, Liu Menglong broke out in a cold sweat.

It's not hard to work on a construction site; just ask the foreman. As long as you're willing to work hard and not slack off, the foreman will welcome you.

"Three-day trial period, 100 yuan a day, with lunch. After the trial period, 150 yuan a day, with lunch. Do you want to do it?" The foreman, a dark-skinned, broad-shouldered man, looked at Liu Menglong's build and seemed quite satisfied.

"What if I do more than others?" An ordinary laborer could accept such a price, but Liu Menglong couldn't. Besides, 150 yuan a day would only amount to 4,500 yuan a month, which wouldn't meet his living needs.

"Oh?" The foreman looked at Liu Menglong, lit a cigarette, took a puff, and exhaled a puff of white smoke. He tapped the table with his carrot-like fingers and said, "If you do twice the work of others, your pay will double. If you do three times the work, your pay will triple, and so on."

I just hope you can handle it.

"Alright!" Liu Menglong rolled up his sleeves. "Shall we start now?"

"Uh? Don't rush, fill out a form first." The foreman was taken aback by Liu Menglong's enthusiasm, flicked the ash off his cigarette, and handed him a form. "Fill in your basic information. I'll supervise your work today. We start at 8 a.m., finish at 12 p.m., have lunch and rest from 12 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., and work from 2:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., a total of eight hours."

He lifted his wrist to check the time. "It's not even 9 a.m. yet, but I'll count today as a full day. How much you earn tonight depends on how much you do."

Liu Menglong nodded and quickly filled in his basic information. When it came to the address, he filled it in truthfully. When the foreman saw that Liu Menglong lived in a villa area where the rich and powerful resided, his eyes widened. "Young man, are you kidding me?"

"I'm here to experience life." Liu Menglong knew he would have this reaction and shut the foreman up with one sentence.

The foreman carefully examined Liu Menglong's attire. He hadn't noticed before, but now he saw that although Liu Menglong was dressed simply, everything was a brand name. The foreman, who had some discernment, estimated that Liu Menglong's outfit alone was worth at least a few thousand yuan.

Alright! Another rich kid here to experience the life of the lower class.

The foreman had encountered many such people before. Many rich kids didn't do anything productive, which made their fathers angry and sent them to the construction site to do hard labor, hoping to teach them the value of hard work and prevent them from becoming wastrels.

The foreman's attitude toward Liu Menglong improved. After all, he was a 'rich kid.' If anything happened to him, it could be a matter of life and death. The foreman, a small contractor, couldn't afford to offend such people. At first, he was quite considerate of Liu Menglong, basically keeping him close and explaining the work on the construction site, pointing out the dangerous areas, hoping that Liu Menglong would give up on the idea of experiencing life.

But Liu Menglong soon became impatient. "You're wasting my time, you know?"

He rudely interrupted the foreman's chatter, put on a safety helmet, and grabbed a shovel, rushing to the sand pile. The sand on the construction site needed to be sieved before mixing with lime; otherwise, large pebbles would cause trouble for the workers.

The moment Liu Menglong grabbed the shovel, a voice sounded in his mind: "Life profession activated—Architect. Life profession activated. Host is now a初级 architect, strength +5. As this is the first time the life profession is activated, a special reward of 1000 experience points, 1000 yuan, and a level-up to Intermediate Architect is granted. Strength +5. Experience points are now full, level up!"

Liu Menglong's eyes sparkled with excitement. He didn't expect the activation of the life profession to be so amazing. He got 1000 experience points without doing anything, leveled up, and gained 10 points of strength, along with 1000 yuan. What was this? Was he about to defy the heavens?

Without hesitation, he allocated the 10 points, and his current status was as follows:

Liu Menglong: Level 5 (435/3000)

Strength: 45

Speed: 35

True Qi: 60

Intelligence: 35

Remaining Points: 0

Talent: Auspicious Sense: Innate ability to sense good and bad fortune, making it easy to avoid misfortune.

Skill: Wild Punch (13% Beginner): A chaotic punch that confuses the enemy, increasing strength and speed by 10% for 30 seconds with no cooldown, consuming 5 True Qi per use.

Money: 4855

Equipment: Brick (Durability 1/1): A piece of trash, unremarkable, weak, but painful when hit, with a 1% chance to cause a 3-second stun.

High-quality Watermelon Knife (Quantity 3): Damage +10, very sharp, causing a bleeding effect for 15 seconds, with the amount of bleeding depending on the wound size.

Steel Knuckle (Durability 17/20): Made of steel, very hard, damage +15, with a 10% chance to cause a 2-second stun.

Golden Snake Whip (Durability 320/500): Damage +30, 5-meter range, made of steel, very hard, coated with pepper spray, causing 500% pain, an excellent torture tool.

Mountain-Cleaving Blade (Durability 334/510): Damage +100, +10 armor penetration, made of steel, very sharp and heavy, causing a powerful tearing effect, leading to continuous bleeding until death.

Life Profession: Architect (Intermediate 0%): Skilled in building houses and structures, but limited to ordinary houses.

...

With the activation of the life profession, Liu Menglong's mind was filled with knowledge about building houses and structures, though only at the level of ordinary houses. This was already quite rare, and it was just the skills of an Intermediate Architect. There were still Advanced, Master, and Perfect levels above. Once he reached the Perfect level, he might be able to build skyscrapers at will, truly amazing.

With such a significant gain, Liu Menglong was excited and stood in front of the sand pile, grabbing a large shovel and scooping up twenty pounds of sand. He used his strength to throw the sand onto the sieve, and the fine sand filtered through, leaving only large particles.

The skilled technique caught the eye of a nearby laborer: "What a skilled technique."

"Hey! I say..." The foreman saw Liu Menglong's temper and sighed inwardly, confirming that he was indeed a rich kid. Otherwise, a laborer wouldn't dare to be so disrespectful to the foreman and would have been beaten and kicked out of the site.

But as time passed, the foreman's eyes grew wider and wider.

Liu Menglong's speed in sieving sand was four times that of an ordinary laborer, and he continued without stopping, sieving ten cubic meters of sand in one breath. One cubic meter of sand is equivalent to 1.35 to 1.45 tons. An ordinary laborer would take at least three hours to sieve ten cubic meters, even with breaks and rotation. But Liu Menglong finished in less than an hour.

The foreman was speechless, but it didn't end there. After sieving the sand, Liu Menglong immediately went to push bricks and mix mortar, working for three hours straight without a break. In three hours, he completed the work of an ordinary laborer for two days, not only impressing the foreman but also shocking the other construction workers.
