Chapter 007 Part-time job is definitely a part-time job
Regarding this issue, Alvin pondered for a long time, and then decided that there was still time to learn.
Although he has gained some strength beyond ordinary people, and the upper limit of the strength of the plug-in has also been increased, judging from the current situation, it is still not enough to free him from the threat of modern technology.
It doesn't take much, just two or three well-trained soldiers with guns, then he will definitely kneel down.
Therefore, even if you analyze according to the prompts, your image in armor has been noticed by many people, and there are even unknown monster threats.
But before figuring out how to further upgrade the system and ignoring technological threats, integrating into the entire social system and becoming a part of it is still his wisest choice.
One word, Gou.
Two words, from the heart.
Be calm and lead to higher status, wealth and power through the path of learning.
As long as the civilized order is not completely overturned and he does not become a "true god" walking in the world, this line will not be shaken.
What's more, even if one day he becomes a completely transcendent existence, or the world completely enters the end of the world, as long as he still has to live in this other world, it is always good to learn more knowledge.
The only problem is that Alvin really needs to find a way to get some money.
"My physical attributes have improved again, and my appetite will probably increase. I really need to find a job quickly before I learn the magical skill of drinking the northwest wind."
If there hadn't been too much noise outside recently, he would have wanted to take advantage of the time-stop travel feature of the portal and play with the [pseudo* portable space] to bring some personal items.
But there is no other way, now we still have to focus on safety.
So, I once again dug out the curled up part-time job catalog in my hand, studied it for a long time, and finally spent a lot of time on an advertisement.
[White Crane Gym is recruiting 1 part-time janitor for the gym. Male must be over 16 years old. Working hours are 19:00~22:00 every day. Estimated salary is 15 yuan per hour. Negotiable.
Person in charge: Rand Teaching; Contact number: xxxxxxxxxxx.]
"The distance is not far, and I can take the opportunity to learn some martial arts knowledge and improve my combat effectiveness... Well, let's try this first."
After making a decision, Alvin stopped thinking about anything else and went straight to wash up and go to sleep.
He got up early the next morning, washed his face, had breakfast, and arrived at Baihe Gym on time at 9:00, half an hour after the gym opened.
"Hello, welcome to Baihe Dojo~"
"Hello, I'm here to apply for a part-time job. Is Professor Rand here?"
"Hmm? Part-time job?"
The blond girl at the front desk of the gym tilted her head, looking at Ivan in school uniform with a little doubt, but soon she clapped her hands with a look of surprise.
"Ah, I remembered it! The owner of the museum told me about this two days ago, but no one came so far. I almost forgot about it. Please come here."
Wearing a long white dress, a blond girl who was probably about the age of a college student came out from behind the front desk and led him towards the gym.
As she walked, she said to Alvin who was looking around:
"Uncle Crete, who had been responsible for cleaning the dojo before, had something happen to his family and resigned and went back to his hometown, so the owner decided to temporarily find a part-time student to help organize and clean the dojo. The work was not too hard, just moving back and forth.
Those scattered utensils will be a little tiring.”
Perhaps it was because Ivan’s appearance and temperament left a good impression on her, or perhaps because of the bonus of the high school uniform, the girl named Lina was quite enthusiastic, and even kindly reminded:
"Relax, Rand is a good instructor. If I ask you about your situation later, just tell the truth. After all, this job does not require much except for some physical strength."
"Well, I understand, thank you Sister Linna."
Ai Wen smiled and said thank you. After all, no matter whether it was useful or not, the other party also had good intentions.
Passing through the not-so-long wooden corridor, the two of them came straight to an indoor training ground covering an area of at least 300 square meters.
Maybe because it was still early, there were not many people on the training ground.
Alvin asked Lina to take off her shoes outside the training ground, then stood at the entrance and watched Lina walk towards a middle-aged man who was instructing the students on their movements.
This should be Professor Rand.
Alvin quickly glanced at the other party.
He is in his thirties and looks less than forty. He has short brown-red hair and is tall and strong. His loose martial arts uniform is stretched tight. He has a kind expression, but his temperament is a bit like that of a soldier. He may be involved in...
Pass the army.
While Ivan was observing silently, Lina said hello to Professor Rand, whispered something to him, and pointed at Ivan.
Nodding, Rand waved to the students to practice by themselves first, then walked up to Ivan in a few steps and took a look at someone.
"Well, he looks pretty good. He's not a guy who usually lacks exercise. Nowadays, fewer and fewer high school students are willing to work part-time. It's far worse than what I did back then."
Rand seemed to have a good first impression of Alvin, and it seemed that he was indeed easy to talk to as Lina said.
He simply asked some basic information about Alvin, such as which school he is in, what grade he is in, where he lives, how long he plans to work, and other questions. It seemed that he said directly and cheerfully:
"If you are willing, you can try to work for a day today. If you can adapt, you can sign a formal contract tomorrow, with an hourly salary of 15 yuan.
If you work overtime under special circumstances, you will be charged double the salary, and you will be paid every Monday. If you want to leave, just tell the gym three days in advance. What do you think?"
This is a common practice in student part-time contracts. Aiwen has also studied it before, so naturally there will be no objections, so both parties have reached a preliminary agreement.
Next, Rand also patiently explained the scope of his work to Ivan.
Baihe Gym is an old gym with quite a history.
It is located closer to the city center than where Ivan rented a house. It takes more than 20 minutes to walk. And because of its age, it occupies a large area. In addition to the training ground itself, there is also a three-story wooden building connected to the back.
"My senior brother, the gym owner, his daughter, and his three disciples all live in a small building, which is considered a private residence, so your working area is mainly the training ground, the entrance and the front desk."
Following Rand's finger, Ivan glanced at the wooden door opposite the entrance to the training ground. This was the only entrance into the small building, but it was currently closed.
"Senior brother took Xue Li and the others out the night before yesterday. It is estimated that they will be back in about a week. Now only two of senior brother's apprentices live here."
Rand pointed at the other two young men behind him.
"It's these two, they are also the instructors of the dojo now, responsible for teaching the younger ones."
After hearing this, Ai Wen immediately glanced at the two men and found that they were two young men in their twenties, one white-haired Caucasian and one black-haired yellow race. They looked like both black and white.
Next, the two chatted for a few more words, and Rand continued to instruct the students.
As for Alvin, he did not follow the other party's suggestion and come back at night. Instead, he quietly changed into the work clothes left by his predecessor in the dojo and began to tidy up the place, which had probably not been cleaned for two days and was obviously a bit messy.
His job is mainly about sanitation and cleaning, and he also needs to restore the scattered equipment to its original position after closing at 21:00.
To be honest, many equipment such as barbells are really heavy, which is probably why men are required for positions.
Of course, the workload seemed to be a lot, but when he actually did it, he found that it was not too difficult, because the training ground itself was not very messy or dirty.
He also asked Lina about this, and the front desk clerk who had been working here for more than a year quickly explained the reason to him.
The number of students in Baihe Dojo has never been very large, and because of the strict requirements imposed by the owner, the students are mainly young people from good families and are relatively well-behaved.
In this way, if you sweep the floor, drag it and tidy it up every day, you can even get it done after two hours of familiarity.
She even secretly conveyed her "experience" to Alvin that as long as the work could be completed, it didn't matter whether he came in early or late. Alvin's predecessor often arrived late and left early.
Although I'm not sure whether the information she revealed is true or false, I guess there shouldn't be too much of a deviation.
