Chapter 4 Apprentice
Lying on the bed, Lu Yu felt unusually hungry. His physical fitness had become stronger, making every cell in his body thirsty for energy.
But it's midnight now, and the dining hall has long been closed, so I can only endure it.
Early the next morning, Lu Yu went straight to the dining hall, spent his only eighteen cents on a dozen steamed buns, ate them all, and then slowly walked to the backyard.
.
"What? Do you want to help move the goods?" Hearing Lu Yu's request, Manager Zhang was also very surprised and thought he heard wrongly.
"Yes." Lu Yu said calmly.
"With your small body, don't break the white noodles in the martial arts school. You will never be able to afford it in your lifetime!"
Manager Zhang shouted sharply.
Lu Yu didn't say anything. He walked through the many handymen who were moving goods and walked to the carriage outside the back door. He picked up a bag of rice weighing one hundred kilograms and carried it on his shoulders.
He walked quickly to Manager Zhang and said with a smile: "Manager, do you think this is okay?"
"Of course you can..."
Manager Zhang nodded with a blank look on his face, a little disbelieving. Only then did he realize that Lu Yu's figure seemed to be much stronger than before.
He vaguely guessed that Lu Yu might have already started practicing Tiger Fist. Although this idea was ridiculous, there was only one explanation.
Lu Yu directly carried the rice and walked to the kitchen. The whole process was so easy that the other handymen were amazed.
One day passed, Lu Yu carried a total of more than 80 bags of goods, and also found time to chop several hundred kilograms of firewood.
When I finally went to Manager Zhang to settle my wages, I received a total of thirty cash.
I made more money in one day than in the previous month and a half combined.
Now his earning speed is second only to Zhou Dashan. The other handymen's eyes have changed when they look at him, and their words are much more polite. They are not fools, and they have vaguely guessed something in their hearts.
This is exactly what Lu Yu wants to achieve. Only by fully displaying his strength can he get the attention of the martial arts hall. It will definitely not work if he just succumbs.
Anyway, he is just a little handyman, and as long as his performance is not too outrageous, the martial arts school's senior officials probably won't care too much.
"I worked all day and only earned 30 cents. I can't even afford a meal of meat. I better leave here as soon as possible."
Lu Yu is very dissatisfied with the speed of making money. After becoming an apprentice, he must first find a way to find a profitable career.
He never wants to stay in this ghost place again.
After carrying goods for a day, he only felt a slight soreness in his shoulders and hunger in his belly. He was still very satisfied with the effect of Tiger Fist. If he could improve it to Xiaocheng, his strength would surely increase a lot.
When Zhou Dashan received the completion payment, they walked to the dining hall together.
"Brother, have you already mastered Tiger Fist?" Zhou Dashan couldn't bear to ask. Even if he was a month ago, he didn't have Lu Yu's physical fitness.
"That's right, I got started just last night by chance." Lu Yu had no intention of hiding it and admitted directly.
"Haha, great, then we can become apprentices together."
Zhou Dashan didn't ask him why he suddenly gained strength, but he was sincerely happy for his brother.
However, I was still very shocked deep down. I didn’t expect that Lu Yu would be one step ahead of him. It seemed that I had to work harder.
"Yes, this hard life is finally over." Lu Yu sighed softly.
"I'm going to buy some medicinal materials for making a body-building soup later. I think the effect will be very good."
Zhou Dashan used to go to the martial arts pharmacy to inquire about various decoctions. Now that he has saved more than a thousand yuan, it is time to spend some money.
"How much does a serving of body-strengthening soup cost?" Lu Yu asked curiously. He couldn't make money before, so he could only fantasize about the various body-strengthening soups sold in the martial arts pharmacy.
But things are different now. Sooner or later, he will be able to afford it.
"Five hundred coins, and this is just the lowest level of decoction." Zhou Dashan sighed.
"So expensive!" Lu Yu looked shocked. As a handyman, he could barely afford one pair with half a month's wages. Other more expensive decoctions would probably cost several taels of silver. For him now, it is undoubtedly
Sky-high price.
Being a warrior is indeed a very expensive profession, and you need to spend so much money even before you become a warrior.
If you don't take the decoction to practice, I'm afraid ordinary people will not be able to become martial artists in their lifetime. The disciples in the martial arts hall are basically the children of wealthy families.
In the next few days, Lu Yu continued to move goods and make money. At the same time, he asked other handymen if there were any lucrative jobs. After becoming an apprentice, he could go there immediately.
When the handymen saw him, they were all smiles on their faces, and they talked about everything they knew. These days, they saw that Lu Yu was getting more and more comfortable moving goods, and they all knew that he would definitely become an apprentice, so they all took the initiative to ask him for help.
Show goodwill.
After asking around for a while, Lu Yu concluded three jobs that are more suitable for him.
The first job is to go to Qinghe Pier to move goods for the Blood Wolf Gang.
He quickly vetoed it because wars broke out between those gangs from time to time. Although they made a lot of money, the risk was too high.
The second job is to go mining in the black stone mine on the western outskirts of the city.
It was the territory of the imperial court, and mining was more profitable than moving goods to the dock. However, recently, the gang of bandits in the Langyuan Mountains often went to rob the black stone mines, and they clashed with the imperial army many times, resulting in numerous casualties. Many miners were injured.
Innocent people were killed.
It's more dangerous than the dock, so of course he wouldn't choose it.
The third job is to work in the pharmacy of the Wuguan Zhongyuan.
The pharmacy is the most profitable place in a martial arts gym. Even if you just work as a medicine maker there, you are countless times more powerful than a handyman in the kitchen.
Moreover, ordinary handymen are never allowed to work in pharmacies. They must at least become apprentices. Even apprentices may not have the opportunity to work.
That’s it!
"After becoming an apprentice, go to the pharmacy first. No matter whether you can succeed or not, you have to try it first."
Then Lu Yu checked his system panel again and found that the attribute points had reached 0.21. He had spent money on a meal of meat in the past few days, plus his daily accumulation, to have so many.

After Zhou Dashan took two doses of Strengthening Decoction in succession, he finally succeeded in getting started with Tiger Boxing practice within the first two days of the January deadline.
As noon approached on the 30th day, Manager Zhang gathered all the handymen together again. Not long after, the burly Chen Yang walked slowly over.
"One month is up. Let me show you how to use the Tiger Fist in turns. Who will come first?" Chen Yang said directly, not wanting to waste time.
Everyone was in a low mood when they heard this. Even though they had practiced hard these days, they still couldn't get started successfully. Instead, they were getting worse and worse because of their impatience. For a while, they didn't dare to come forward to show off, and stood there nervously.
"I'll come first!"
At this moment, Lu Yu shouted and walked forward without hesitation, standing in front of Chen Yang.
Chen Yang frowned slightly. He had an impression of this young man. Among all the handymen, he was the one with the worst physical condition and the least likely to learn Tiger Fist. But now he is so confident. Is he really not afraid of embarrassing himself in front of everyone?
?
Lu Yu didn't know what Chen Yang was thinking. He recalled the Tiger Fist moves in his mind, and then started from the first move and continued to perform them one by one. Both the punch and the footwork were perfect.
Chen Yang's eyes widened when he saw it, and Manager Zhang and other handymen also looked as if they were like this. It seemed that this boy was really getting started.
"He doesn't have any foundation, but he can learn a boxing technique in one month! How is this possible!"
Chen Yang was extremely shocked at this time. No one understood the difficulty better than him. He could feel that the Qi and blood in Lu Yu's body were running at high speed during the boxing practice. It was indeed a sense of Qi.
After finishing the twelve-position Tiger Fist, Chen Yang walked forward quickly and asked: "What is your name?"
"Young Lu Yu, I have met Master Jiao Xi." Lu Yu said respectfully.
"Okay, Lu Yu, from today on, you will officially become an apprentice at our Longhu Martial Arts School, and I will be responsible for teaching you how to practice martial arts."
