Chapter 639: Chapter 406: Jealousy Is Like Wild Grass

Meng Lang brought Master Li in for his recovery treatment, and Li Lei was still struggling with a sweaty head against the orders on his phone...

Ah Xing, a bit curious, leaned over to take a look, and couldn’t help shaking his head.

"Listen, brother, this won’t work, you have to turn off the automatic order acceptance.

They say you can refuse orders without penalty every day, but once you refuse, you’ll notice, refuse continuously today, and for the next few days, you’ll have no orders. It’s what they call that thing... big data, you know?"

"Ah?" Li Lei lifted his head in surprise. "There’s such a thing?"

"Of course there is. Don’t think that delivering food is just running errands, it seems simple, but it also requires skill."

"What kind of skill?"

"For example, you must familiarize yourself with routes within 4 kilometers, at least know by looking at the name of the street which direction it is in and how to get there, so you can appropriately accept more orders that are on your way.

If you are new to this city and not familiar with the streets, your efficiency will be very low.

Also, if you don’t want to pick up one order here and another there, you must pay attention to which restaurants are busy and have a lot of deliveries, specifically wait for those spots, see a good delivery, and immediately grab the order.

And this phone, you’re actually using an Apple, it’s obvious you’re a newbie. The phone doesn’t need to be too high-end, just not lag, the key is good reception!

With this one, you’ll even lose out to those thousand-yuan phones, believe it or not? Delivery also depends on network speed!"

"And this sun protection, you’re going out to deliver wearing short sleeves?

Do you think we, the martial artists, are not afraid of the wind and the sun?

It looks like you haven’t used sunscreen, have you? In this kind of blazing sun, it won’t take long before you’re peeling..."

Two burly muscle men, huddled together discussing delivery insights—this scene was as bizarre as it gets.

Li Lei looked at Ah Xing with a face full of surprise.

"How do you know so much?"

Ah Xing chuckled, "What’s the big deal! Who hasn’t had hard times? Back when Brother Biao was still inside, I also did a part-time job riding my little electric scooter, and I learned all these things from others.

At the beginning, just like you, I knew nothing, worked myself to death for a month, and didn’t earn much.

Just when I got the hang of it, someone tried to scam me, and I knocked him down with one punch on the spot, ended up in the station, and couldn’t continue with the job.

Luckily, Brother Biao got out later, and then I met Xiao Meng, and life started to get better."

Li Lei didn’t expect the man in front of him to have such an experience, and feeling a kinship in their shared misfortune, he couldn’t help but feel more affinity toward him.

But thinking about how the other now had dozens of followers at his beck and call, and then considering his own situation, he couldn’t help but sigh.

"Sigh! Ah Xing, brother, you’re right, I don’t have any skills, and my education is low.

I saw online that anyone can do food delivery, and it’s an easy way to make tens of thousands a month, but after a few days of running around, I realized how difficult it is..."

Although they had moved to a long-term rental, the cost of accommodation had decreased significantly.

But with his current daily earnings from running errands, not to mention maintaining expenses in Su City, he couldn’t even afford Master Li’s medicine dregs...

Seeing Li Lei’s face full of worry, Ah Xing asked, "What’s wrong? Brother, are you in urgent need of money?"

"Yeah, before coming here, I didn’t expect living expenses in Su City to be so high..." Li Lei said helplessly.

Impoverished due to illness, he was a living example...

"Back in my hometown, I could earn a decent income from underground boxing, but here, being a stranger in a strange land, I can’t even find a job."

Ah Xing suddenly laughed, realizing he had found a fellow martial artist!

"Why didn’t you say so earlier? I know all about boxing!"

"Hmm?" Li Lei’s eyes lit up.

"What? Brother, can you introduce me to someone?"

"Introducing you is no problem, but brother, let me tell you something straight from the heart—this is absolutely a last resort!

I used to box frequently too, and I made enough to support myself, but Brother Biao often lectured me, saying that boxing is a young man’s game and you should avoid it if you can.

If you encounter an unscrupulous opponent, and you don’t have a powerful backer, who knows what they’ll do to you afterward.

Not only will you end up hurt all over, but the income isn’t stable either, and even supporting yourself in old age becomes a problem.

Hey, by the way, brother, do you have health insurance?

What? No health insurance? Don’t you know how expensive hospitals are in the city?

If you get injured, what you make will probably not even be enough for one trip to the hospital, believe it or not? It’s not worth the cost!

Don’t see us sturdy and eating well now; just one injury, and the second half of your life might be spent in a hospital bed.

Look at your Master Li, that’s a prime example of ’a young man who doesn’t take care of his health will later have to take care of doctors’!"

"Uh..." Li Lei was a bit dumbfounded.

I just wanted to fight a few bouts to make quick money, how did it get connected to health insurance?

"But other than being a good fighter, I don’t really have any other ways to make money," Li Lei said, scratching his head.

"Who says being good with your hands means you can only make money from illegal boxing? Brother Biao always says, ’A tree can’t move, but a person can.’

Why can’t we, who practice martial arts, find a job that’s less labor-intensive and pays well?"

"There’s such a job?"

Seeing Li Lei’s disbelief, Ah Xing immediately puffed out his chest muscles proudly.

"Like me, as a security captain!"

A security... captain?

Li Lei hesitated for a moment, "Ah Xing, brother, so you work as a security guard?"
