Chapter 39: Talent, Inauguration
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zhou Chen casually read the title of the posts on the forum and clicked on the thread mentioning about talent.
In this post, the poster summarized the various talents he had collected information on. Some of them were self-exposed by Survivors, while others were speculated by others.
According to him, more than 90% of the Survivor’s talent was attribute-enhancing, and most of the effects were ordinary.
For example, the talent of ‘Nimble Person’ increased agility by 0.2, the talent of ‘Wise Man’ increased spirit by 0.2, and the talent of ‘Robust Man’ increased physique by 0.2.
There were also special talents among these attributes. For example, the ‘Strongman’ talent gave +0.4 physique, the ‘Fierce Man’ talent gave +1.0 physique, the ‘Sagacity’ talent gave +1.0 spirit.
Apart from these attribute-enhancing talents, there were also many talents with special effects.
For example, there was a big shot from the Eagle Country who was called the Astral Warlock. He seemed to have a prophecy-like talent and could always avoid danger.
The publicly recognized strongest Survivor of the Dragon Country, who was also the Director of the Administration, Li Guoqiang, had a talent called ‘Harvest’. Its effect was to double the rewards.
There was also a big shot from Bear Country who had a nameless talent. The effect was said to be resurrection.
Zhou Chen quickly finished reading the post and couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.
“These people’s talent is really ridiculous. There is actually resurrection. However, there should be a limit to this kind of resurrection. My Passive Plunderer is not bad either. As long as I develop it well, I have hopes of catching up to them in the future.”
Zhou Chen knew that he was a very mediocre person. He did not have an outstanding mind and ability, but he was very lucky to obtain a powerful talent. His future prospects would not be inferior to those big shots’.
After browsing the forum and understanding some miscellaneous information, Zhou Chen fell asleep.
He had actually slept not long ago, but now he had to adjust his biological clock.
A few hours later, Zhou Chen woke up from his sleep.
The moment he woke up, he opened the system again and quickly realized that there were many red notes in his inventory.
“My things have been sold? Let me see which ones.”
Because he had set the price of the items, he did not need to communicate with the buyer when selling those items. The other party could buy the items directly as long as they paid the price.
From the number of cash in the inventory, he could tell that he had not sold all his items. This was normal, but he still wanted to see which items were the most popular.
“So the iron rod and dagger have been sold. I didn’t expect that the two most expensive ones would be sold first, while the cheap ones were ignored.”
The iron rod and dagger were cleared from the trading area, while the hammer, whip, cactus cudgel, and bottles remained the same.
“Looks like traditional metal weapons are more popular. If the handle of the hammer did not have those deep marks, it could definitely be sold for a good price.”
After closing the trading area, Zhou Chen did not take out the notes from his inventory because he planned to save up till it exceeded 200,000. When it reached 200,000, he would go to the orphanage to pay the fee.
“With this speed, I think I can gather the money this week.”
Zhou Chen liked the feeling of having money. He then thought of where he could use the money.
“I should change to a better room. This place is really narrow.”
After some thought, Zhou Chen decided to find a cheap and comfortable room.
After putting on his clothes and washing up, he walked out of the room and went to the noodle shop. He ordered three large bowls of beef noodles for breakfast.
He could actually eat more, but that would look abnormal, so he chose to restrain himself.
After eating the noodles, he began to stroll around the area to search for rental information. After spending some time and failing to find a suitable room, he walked to Weijiang Dojo because it was time for his training.
When he arrived at the entrance of the Weijiang Dojo, he realized that the door had already been opened. Boss Liu, whose face was still bruised and swollen, was sitting on a chair inside the hall. When he saw Zhou Chen, he got up from the chair.
“Little Zhou, why didn’t you come earlier today? I’ve been waiting for you.”
“Sorry, Boss Liu, I had something else to do. From the looks of it, you still want me to be the assistant dojo leader?”
Zhou Chen smiled and walked into the Weijiang Dojo.
“Yeah.”
Boss Liu nodded.
“I like you. I will be at ease if you are the assistant dojo leader. Look, I’ve even prepared the inauguration agreement for you.”
The old man picked up a stack of documents from the front desk.
“Sir, your efficiency is really high.”
Zhou Chen took the document and looked at it. He realized that Boss Liu was serious. This was a formal inauguration agreement of the assistant dojo leader of the dojo. The seal of the Weijiang Dojo and Boss Liu’s signature were already stamped on it.
“Boss Liu, since you think so highly of me, I can’t disappoint you. I’ll be the assistant dojo leader of your dojo.”
Zhou Chen did not dawdle. He quickly picked up the pen on the desk and signed.
“I forgot to bring a photo. I’ll put it on later.”
…
Time passed quickly. Zhou Chen spent some time dealing with the inauguration with Boss Liu and chose not to get food and accommodation, meaning his salary was ten thousand.
In this way, Zhou Chen became the assistant dojo leader of the Wei Jiang Dojo. He was in charge of dealing with the people who came to challenge the dojo and gradually developing the dojo.
Meanwhile, Boss Liu said he would use this time to recuperate and deduce more profound moves of the Infinite Hell Fist.
“Little Zhou, I’ve opened this dojo for many years, but I’ve never received any proper students. I have to recuperate and study my martial arts during this period. I’ll leave the dojo to you. I hope you can recruit at least twenty students.”
Boss Liu mentioned his expectation to Zhou Chen.
“Twenty students… this dojo is more than enough to recruit twenty. Alright, I’ll meet your requirements in three months at most.”
Zhou Chen thought for a moment and felt that this matter was quite challenging, but it was not impossible.
“Okay. If you want to recruit or add anything in the dojo, you can discuss with me. I will give you enough support.”
Boss Liu nodded.
The two of them then talked about more detailed matters, such as how much tuition fee they should charge, what to teach, and how to advertise the dojo.
After chatting for a while, Zhou Chen realized that Boss Liu’s thoughts were quite normal.. Other than wanting the students to learn his Infinite Hell Fist, his other thoughts were not ridiculous.
