Under the loud urging of the foreman, the warriors began to work one after another, and clanging sounds resounded in the yard.
In a remote corner of the workshop backyard, several strong middle-aged warriors who were working leisurely were discussing in low voices and angrily, looking at Ye Chen from time to time with strong hostility.
"This kid really doesn't understand the rules! He's new here, and he just does this. One person does the work of three people. Doesn't this clearly make us old people in the workshop look bad? He works so hard, how can we people?
Doesn’t it look very incompetent?!”
A warrior said in a low voice while hammering the ore.
"Brother Hu, you are the strongest, at the ninth level of the body refining stage. Let's teach him a lesson later and let this kid know whose territory this is!" Another warrior who was forty or fifty years older also complained.
Said loudly.
"Foreman Zhang is here, so it's hard to take action. Let's wait until we finish work in the evening!"
The shirtless man named Hu wiped his face with a sweat towel and said lukewarmly.
Ye Chen was concentrating on using a heavy hammer to break the black iron ore and smash it into fine sand, but he did not notice the hostile looks of several people in the corner.
Even if he sees it, he won't particularly care.
Ye Chen understood very well.
After he smashed the black iron ore with a hammer, he expected that the warriors in the courtyard would not look at him kindly, and would mostly look at him with envy and cynicism.
Ye Chen started working at Beilu Academy when he was five years old and has been doing chores for ten years. He has seen many such things. During those ten years, he got up early and worked late at night, running the hardest and doing the most chores.
At most, he can earn more money. If he takes the job first, it will definitely make other students who come to do chores unhappy.
I offended a lot of people because of this, and got into fights not once or twice.
Therefore, when Ye Chen received the handyman job at Beilu Academy, he did not talk too much with other students.
Working in this workshop, Ye Chen didn't need to look too far to know that he used the Tiger Leap Triple Slash to smash the black iron ore with all his strength, which would make many warriors feel very unhappy. But how could he not try his best to smash it! He alone
The monthly rent is only one spiritual stone. If he only earns one spiritual stone a month in the workshop, it doesn't mean that his work is in vain! So even if he offends others, he has to work hard.
When it was almost evening, Foreman Zhang left the backyard first.
The other dozen or so warriors then left the small courtyard one after another, but unlike in the past when they left in a hurry, many people slowed down intentionally or unintentionally, waiting to see the excitement. All warriors who have worked in this workshop know this
, this workshop belongs to the owner, but this backyard is the territory of several veteran warriors.
Ye Chen was the last one to call it a day. After he completely smashed the third piece of black iron ore into fine sand, he put down the hundred-jin hammer.
"Finally finished today's work! Grind three pieces of black iron ore into fine sand every day, and you can probably earn three pieces of spiritual stones in a month. One piece will be used to pay rent, and the rest will be used to buy body tempering herbs. It should be enough for me for the time being.
use."
Ye Chen put down the hammer, slowly exhaled, and thought to himself.
"Brother, are you done? You did a good job today!"
A shirtless man passed by, smiled and said hello to Ye Chen, and then continued to pass.
"Uh...yeah!"
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, nodded with a smile, and wiped the sweat on his sleeves.
call!
The shirtless man took a step forward and suddenly turned around without warning. His face was extremely fierce and he shouted loudly, "Punch you, sir!". He punched Ye Chen in the chest with full force. He was tall and strong.
, the punch was right at Ye Chen's upper body.
"Sure enough...here we go again!"
Ye Chen was already prepared in his heart, with a cold light in his eyes, he suddenly hit the shirtless man close to him, clenched his right fist, filled his body with energy, and punched out wildly.
boom!
There was a muffled sound, and the two fists collided head-on.
There is not much difference in strength between the two ninth-level warriors in the body refining stage.
After Ye Chen punched him, a fierce blast of wind came from his feet and he kicked towards the shirtless man like lightning, as sharp as a knife.
boom!
There was another muffled sound.
The sneak attack on the shirtless man blocked it with both fists, and he took a big step back. Only then did he regain his footing, and his face changed slightly, "Such solid boxing and kicking skills, and a solid chassis. He is not a warrior born in Yeluzi!"
Ye Chen also took a step back, keeping a foot away from the shirtless man. His right hand stopped above the handle of the sword on his waist.
"You punched me sneakily, what do you mean?"
Ye Chen stared at the shirtless man and said coldly.
"Hmph, it doesn't make sense. This is a warning to you. This small workshop can't support many people. You have done the work of three people by yourself. If you work so hard, it won't be long before the boss will reduce the number of people. Do you want to
We all pack up and get out!!”
The shirtless man said fiercely, "I have been here for ten years, and no one has ever told me to get out, and no one has asked my brothers to get out. Today I will tell you, you better restrain yourself and show your ability
Put it away, otherwise there will be no place for you here."
In the courtyard, all the warriors stopped and looked at this scene in twos and threes with an air of watching a good show, but no one tried to intervene. Many of them were probably gloating about the misfortune and were happy to see someone come forward.
Take care of Ye Chen.
Ye Chen's eyes darkened.
Of course he understood that he was being squeezed out by other warriors in this small workshop, and the crowding was severe. The more work he did in a day, the more severe the crowding became.
"What if I keep doing this!!"
Ye Chen said coldly, stretched out his five fingers, and slowly placed his hand on the handle of the sword at his waist.
"Then uncle, I'm here to test your abilities today!"
The shirtless man's pupils shrank, he slowly took a step back, and casually grabbed a heavy hammer for work.
Shirtless men don't dare to take it lightly.
Ye Chen's Tiger Leap slashed three times in a row. The violent force of more than 2,700 kilograms shattered the black iron ore in one blow. The power made people palpitate. It is definitely not a joke to take a knife on a flesh and blood body. That is
It can range from being disabled at the least, to death at the worst.
Moreover, the shirtless man could tell that Ye Chen was fierce and decisive in his attacks, with murderous intent, and was by no means a newly minted warrior.
"Wait a minute! Brother Hu, this old man, don't do anything!"
A warrior in his forties or fifties who was watching saw that something was wrong and quickly spoke out to persuade, "Tianwu Xianyuan City has strict rules. Only Douxiandai can fight and fight. Fighting is strictly prohibited in other places. If someone causes trouble and fights in the city, it doesn't matter who it is.
If there are casualties, you two will definitely be kicked out of the fairy city. Why don't we all take a step back, brother, you do less work, and Brother Hu doesn't dislike him, so that everyone can have an easier time in this workshop!"
Ye Chen glanced at the warrior and sneered, "Why didn't you say anything when he sneak-attacked me just now? You guys were obviously in a group, singing along to fool me! If he had hurt me just now, you would have joined forces.
Come on, put it all on me! Unfortunately, his chance of winning is not great, definitely not more than 40 to 50%. Even if he can seriously hurt me, I will support him!"
"This... I don't know what is good or bad, I am thinking about you! That's all, you can hit me if you want, I don't care. When you are kicked out of the fairy city, don't blame me for not warning you."
The warrior who was in his forties or fifties was found out. He couldn't keep his face and became a little angry.
"I must get three spiritual stones this month!"
Ye Chen ignored the warrior and said coldly to the shirtless man, "But don't worry, since this is your territory, I won't overwhelm you, and I won't stay here any longer. After this month, I got three
A piece of spiritual stone will leave here!"
"One month? Do you really want to leave after one month?"
The shirtless man said, his brows slowly opening. If Ye Chen could only work for a month, there was really no need for him to take action again. If there really was a fight, he didn't have much confidence. It would be best for everyone to take a step back.
"That's right! I came to Tianwu Xianyuan City to seek immortality, not to compete with you for jobs. I will only stay for a month and will not prevent you from continuing to work here!"
Ye Chen put away the sword and left the small weapon refining workshop.
"This kid has a loud voice!"
The shirtless man had a sullen face and watched Ye Chen leave. He did not take action or stop him. Ye Chen's words stung him even more.
"This kid is only fifteen or sixteen years old. He is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers!"
"Which of the warriors in Tianwu Immortal City doesn't aspire to become a high-ranking immortal cultivator!? Don't we want to? We've even dreamed about it!"
"But taking this step is as difficult as climbing to the sky, easier said than done!!!"
The dozen or so warriors in the small courtyard looked at each other with embarrassed expressions on their faces, and even looked gloomy, and sighed.
Most of the warriors in the city, more than ninety-nine percent, have been doing nothing after ten or twenty years of training, and their enterprising spirit has gradually worn away.
The desire to seek immortality is fading day by day. However, they are reluctant to leave this fairy city that has brought them countless dreams. They just want to make a stable living in the fairy city and keep a job in the fairy city.
I feel at ease just getting by with the hard work.
"Let's go back to practice! That kid is unwilling to just be a warrior, so we can't be too lazy!"
In the small workshop, the warriors gradually dispersed.
