Chapter 16: Working at the wharf ()

With the setting sun, the daytime course ended and a rare holiday is coming.

Luo Chen was in a good mood because of the leap and progress he made in the strength test. In addition, several tutors in the class were obviously much more enthusiastic about him, and even took the initiative to talk to Luo Chen, allowing him to lie down in his spare time and guide the courses within the field of the tutor.

Students have the right to freely arrange time to choose key courses, but if the tutor is particularly fond of a certain student, he will also personally choose it. The student will easily receive better and more patient guidance. It is obviously Luo Chen's performance that touched several tutors in Class 6, who are all very interested in this student who is likely to be a "pioneer".

In the past, this special treatment was limited to outstanding students in the class, but now Luo Chen has also joined them and is valued.

The depressedness of being slandered was diluted by a good mood. Luo Chen walked out of the gate of Weston Academy in a humming tune, and the harsh sarcasm he encountered on the road was not that bad.

Like all colleges, Weston College has a day off every week. During the holidays, the college will not care about what you do, but most students will still seize the time to work overtime. The current earth is not like the ancient civilization era, and the opportunity to learn is rare. If you don’t grasp it well, you will be mediocre and useless for life.

Luo Chen didn't want to spend his precious time on cultivation, but he still needed life and money. He was not materially supported by his parents, like other students. His parents were victimized when they were trampled on by monsters in his hometown. The Eternal Alliance provided him with free study for this special enrollment, but living expenses would not be provided, so Luo Chen could only earn them by himself.

Weston College is built on a mountain not far from the outskirts of Slo. If you want to make money, Slo is naturally a good place to go.

Luo Chen took a step and walked out of the gate of Weston College and started the light body technique all the way. At this time, he was surprised to find that he was as light as a swallow. His continuous steps were much larger, and the buffering time of landing was reduced to a certain extent. The light body technique also improved. I think this is the joint effect brought about by the significant increase in spiritual energy.

Luo Chen did not enter the center of Slo City, but went straight to the port in the east of the city.

Slo is a coastal city, facing the vast Baltic Sea to the east, and the ocean provides fishery and convenient transportation for the city. In the evening, the sunset shines on the sparkling sea, covering the Baltic Sea with a layer of golden coat.

There are also monsters in the sea, but the chance of siren moving during the day is much lower than that at night, only about one tenth, and most of them are low-level siren. The terrifying big guys will only come out to breathe at night. Therefore, it is safer to go out to sea during the day under the protection of mercenaries, but before night falls, it is wise to return to the land.

Fishing boats of all sizes are returning, and many merchant ships are also breaking down at the docks and unloading goods.

A giant ship three-story high is moored by the dock. The hull of this ship is made of steel and is extremely strong. It also has a huge crystal booster and a powerful magic cannon specially used for dealing with sirens. Needless to say, it is a cargo ship, ordinary fishing boats are not as luxurious as NiuX's equipment.

Many kids were carrying the cargo off the ship, while a middle-aged manager was counting beside him. When he saw Luo Chen, he smiled: "Why, the top student from Weston Academy is here again?"

Luo Chen said embarrassedly: "Uncle Ge Lie, please don't laugh at me."

A chef also said, "Luo Chen, you are in good spirits today, and you are full of spring. Have you made a girlfriend in the college?"

Everyone burst into laughter and looked quite familiar with Luo Chen, and they had indeed known Luo Chen for a while.

In order to earn his living expenses, Luo Chen started working since the first grade. Every evening after class, he would go to the port to move goods and get some rewards. In the long run, he became familiar with the managers of the docks and the chefs.

The owner of the dock is happy to recruit temporary workers like Luo Chen because the salary of temporary workers is lower than that of formal employees.

"No, learning is important, learning is important!" Luo Chen smiled, greeted the manager and the chef he knew, and ran to the cargo hold of the ship.

This giant ship is not a big size. It has three large basketball courts. All you can see are rows of sealed wooden boxes.

On the other side of the Baltic Sea, it does not belong to the Canglan Continent where Slo City is located. It is another new section of the Ole Continent. The Forest of Fear occupies most of the Canglan Continent, and the terrain of the Ole Continent is mainly stone mountains and hills. The fusion of different spaces has greatly enriched the original ore types on the earth. The Ole Continent is rich in an iron ore called refined iron. Compared with ordinary iron ore, the weapons and armor produced by refined iron are more tough, very popular, and sold to all places.

These wooden boxes are loaded with fine iron ore transported from Saar City, the Outer Continent opposite the Baltic Sea. They are absolutely not light, with each box of more than 200 kilograms. However, with the current human physique, adults can still bear this weight.

As a psychic warrior, Luo Chen's strength is naturally much greater than that of an ordinary person. He grabbed a wooden box with his right hand, exerted his force, and then he had already carried it on his shoulders.

Luo Chen grabbed another wooden box and mentioned it to his left shoulder. He added more than 200 kilograms, and it suddenly became much heavier, but it was okay, and it felt easier than usual.

It seems that my strength has really improved a lot, and Luo Chen once again felt joy.

It was not surprising that several chefs who came in to move goods saw it. Luo Chen was a psychic warrior after all, but if he moved two boxes at the same time, Luo Chen could only last more than twenty times at most, and he would have to move one back later.

Carrying two wooden boxes, Luo Chen walked down the freighter like an enclave and went to the warehouse at the dock.

When Ge Lie saw him, he laughed and said, "Hehe, young man, see how many times you can fire the double-fire gun today!"

After saying that, he wrote the first two "correct" words behind Luo Chen's name in the account book and wrote down the results.

The double-fire cannon here means moving two boxes at the same time, and the supervisor Ge Lie also knows Luo Chen's habits.

The remuneration for transporting at the wharf is calculated based on the number of goods transported. The more you work, the more you get, the reward for each wooden box is one copper coin, but Luo Chen, who works part-time, has a lower salary, and only nine copper coins are available for every ten wooden boxes.
