The Star Era

There was an office at the gate of the dojo.

A table and a chair were placed there with disciples taking turns to be on duty.

From time to time, locals from the island would come to the office to commission work.

After listening to the client's description, the disciple on duty would classify and post the commission according to the difficulty, remuneration, and other conditions.

The disciples in the martial arts dojo were free to accept the commissions and complete them. According to the rules, 20% of the remuneration would be given to the dojo and the remaining would belong to the disciple.

This office was not only owned by the Shadowless Fist Dojo. Almost all the dojos in town had one. This could already be considered a major branch of the dojos.

This situation happened because the background of the world that Wang Yu was in was too bizarre.

The entire human race was not on the same planet!

As far as Wang Yu knew, humans occupied a total of seven planets in the galaxy.

It was true that he had transmigrated to an interstellar era, but it was very different from what he knew. Even the composition of the universe seemed different.

The level of technology displayed by humans was far behind the information era in Wang Yu's previous life, and the direction of development was also very different.

Many things that should have been there were not.

For example, there were cars and airships, but no aeroplanes and rockets.

Nor was there a series of destructive firearms.

Humans were unable to fly off the surface of the planet. This was because legend had it that apart from the lack of air, the endless darkness outside the planet was also filled with death energy.

No living being could survive in the death energy, no matter how tightly armed they were.

When traveling between planets, humans relied on something called a magnetic door.

The planet Wang Yu was on was Broken Star No. 5 which was occupied by humans.

It was a semi-habitable mini-planet.

There were only some small and large islands on the planet where humans could live and develop.

According to Wang Yu's understanding, the entire Broken Star No.5 was still in a relatively chaotic period.

Every place on the star was an extension of a large country. Due to the distance between the main stars, they were not dispatched in time. In addition, the population here was mixed, so it was impossible to control.

The higher-ups of the government on the star could at most ensure that the territory would not be lost, the national policy would be unified, and there would be no riots or rebels.

However, it was difficult to cover all aspects of local security.

Not to mention that there were trivial livelihood problems. Rather than looking for the local security department which would only delay it, it was far more efficient and practical to look for martial artists in the dojos.

As long as the martial artists did not act recklessly, the local government would basically turn a blind eye and pretend that nothing had happened.

In recent days, with Sun Chengshan's outstanding achievements, the Shadowless Fist Dojo had gradually become more famous in town.

More and more people would go to its office to put up a commission when they encountered trouble that they could not solve.

On this day, it was Zhang Erdan's turn in the office. He was sitting there yawning in boredom early in the morning.

A temporary disciple was obediently sweeping the floor at the entrance of the courtyard. At this moment, the sky was bright and there were not many people walking on the street.

Suddenly, a person came over hurriedly. He seemed to have walked a long distance and was covered in sweat. He went straight to the office of the Shadowless Fist Dojo.

"I need to give a commission. Quick, get someone to help me!" The person grabbed the corner of the table and said anxiously to Zhang Erdan.

"No matter how anxious we are, we have to talk slowly. According to the process, how can our disciples be mobilized so casually?" Zhang Erdan took out a pen and paper nonchalantly.

"Name?"

"Second Brother Meng."

"Address?"

"I live under the Southern Hill. The fields that my family just plowed are being snatched away. Please help me." Second Brother Meng pleaded anxiously.

Zhang Erdan looked up at him. "Tell me exactly what happened. Who wanted to snatch your family's fields? Why did they target you? And…"

Although Zhang Erdan was not a serious person, he did not dare to be too negligent.

After all, this was also a revenue business of the dojo. If Sun Chengshan knew that someone did not take this business seriously, he would definitely be furious.

After a detailed question and answer description, Zhang Erdan put away the paper.

"Alright, let's wait for the news. The reward that you gave is not bad, and the mission is not difficult. I believe a disciple will attend to it soon."

Second Brother Meng became even more anxious when he heard this.

"How long will we have to wait? They'll definitely come back today. Then our family will be—will be doomed!"

Zhang Erdan looked a little impatient. "Then take your family and hide outside first. Our dojo has received a lot of commissions these days. All the commissioners are very anxious, you are not alone."

Second Brother Meng was about to continue when he suddenly heard a soft call from the courtyard not far away.

"Uncle Meng, why are you here?"

Second Brother Meng was stunned. He turned around and saw that it was Wang Yu.

"You, you, you, why are you here! And you're wearing…"

When Second Brother Meng saw Wang Yu, he quickly noticed what Wang Yu was wearing.

She suddenly turned to look at Zhang Erdan and then at Wang Yu.

The two of them were dressed exactly the same!

"Uncle Meng, you told me to find a way out and stop working in the mine. Look, I came here to practice martial arts."

Wang Yu smiled. He was quite friendly towards Second Brother Meng as they met again.

He didn't have many acquaintances in this town.

Second Brother Meng did not know what to say.

He did want Wang Yu to find another way out, but he did not expect Wang Yu to be so capable as to become a disciple of the dojo.

The magnitude of the change surprised him.

"Is Uncle Meng in trouble?" Wang Yu approached the office and asked.

Second Brother Meng smiled bitterly and recovered from his shock. He did not have the time to congratulate Wang Yu. Seeing that he was a disciple of the dojo, he immediately repeated what he had said.

It turned out that after Second Brother Meng returned, he had made up his mind not to go back to the mine as well. With the money he had saved, he bought tools and planned to farm in his own fields to earn a living. As such, he could also be by his wife's side at all times.

In the three months since his return, he had been busy with the fields.

Until a group of people suddenly came over to buy his land.

When Second Brother Meng refused, the two parties got into a conflict.

That group of people also became fiercer and threatened to bury his entire family alive.

Only then did Second Brother Meng panic. He had originally gone to look for the town's Public Security Bureau.

They would take care of such life-threatening matters.

However, the other party was very sneaky. As soon as they saw the people from the Security Bureau, they disappeared without a trace.

For a few days in a row, the people from the Security Bureau came, but they could not help him look after the fields all the time. Second Brother Meng was only being verbally threatened and had not suffered any physical harm.

The manpower of the Public Security Bureau was tight and could not mobilize a large number of members to help Second Brother Meng. In the end, they could only leave it at that.

Felling helpless, Second Brother Meng could only come to the dojo for help.

After hearing this, Wang Yu more or less understood the incident. He said to Zhang Erdan, "How's the difficulty of this commission?"

Zhang Erdan looked at the content of the commission that he had recorded and said, "The other party is just a group of ordinary hooligans, but there are quite a number of them. It's not difficult. I suggest that the commission is for three disciples at the first level of Body Tempering or one disciple who is at the second level of Body Tempering. The remuneration is set at 200 crystal dollars."

"Alright, I'll accept this commission. Register it." Wang Yu nodded.

"Alright, Junior Brother Wang, be careful." Zhang Erdan had no objections and wrote Wang Yu's name on the commission slip.

"Yes, let's go, Uncle Meng. I'll go with you to take a look," Wang Yu said.

He had already considered finding a simple commission these days to earn some living expenses.

It was a coincidence that Second Brother Meng came to the dojo. As such, Wang Yu could help him resolve the problem while earning an income for himself.

It could be considered as returning the favor of helping him in the mine.
