Chapter 2 Find a Job

After walking for a few minutes from my house to the place to test the strength of the punch in the village. I also arrived at the place, the place to measure the strength of the punch in this village is called the tower of strength.

In that place, many people are queuing to be able to measure the strength of their respective punches. so to be able to measure the strength in that place you have to wait in line, fortunately, when I arrived the queue was not too long. so that I don't have to wait in line for too long.

Finally, it was my turn, I took the plunge to launch my punches into the Tower of Strength. then launched my fist into the tower and...

Bam!!!

Ding.

<47> 'My punching power is now 47, up 2 kg from 45 before.' It's good that there is still an increase in strength in my body. If I can maintain this increase in 2 months I'll make it into the warrior academy.

After I tested my punching power at the tower of strength, I continued my journey to the material beast shopping area. it wasn't long before I arrived at the shopping area.

As I approached the area, I heard sounds like people were cutting something and many people were talking there. It was very different from the area where I lived because it was very rare for people to come there.

Creak! Clang! Click!

"How much is this meat?"

"Only 750 dollars"

"Too expensive, 500 dollars"

"Okay, here's your meat"

The shopping area is very crowded and most of the people there are warriors. you could say this place is a gathering place for warriors in the village. Some warriors are selling and buying beast materials from other warriors. and some just walk around to look around.

I approached one of the people selling beast meat, and I ask him. "Excuse me, uncle is there anything I can help you with, I need money and I'll do any job you want uncle."

"Hemp?" the uncle looked at me from top to bottom. "I don't need any help from a skinny boy like you. Go away."

"Please uncle I'm in need of money and I'll do whatever job you ask me to do," I said as I pleaded with the uncle.

"No, no, I don't need any help from you, go away." The uncle said in an annoyed tone.

"hah... all right. thank you uncle" I went to another shop.

I went and asked some shops to offer me a job. And yes, the result was that no one wanted to hire me because my body was thin and looked like I had no strength.

But I didn't give up and tried several other shops to hire me, and I went to one shop that looked quite big from the previous shops, if the other shops were only in the form of carts, this shop was in the form of a building that was quite large and had a garden in front and behind the shop.

I was hesitant to enter the store because even a small store rejected me, let alone a store this big. But if I don't get a job then I can't pay for my training and won't be able to enter the warrior academy.

After a few hesitations about whether or not to enter the store, I decided to try to enter the store first because if I was rejected I could just leave the store and not go back there.

"Okay, I have to be brave and go into the store and ask if there is any work I can do if there isn't I just walk out of the store." I gathered my courage and stepped into the store.

Kring...

The doorbell sounded when I entered the shop. When I entered the shop I saw a middle-aged man sitting in a chair in front of the cashier's desk with his eyes closed. and I stepped toward the person.

The person opened his eyes when I approached him. "Can I help you?" the middle-aged man asked me. I replied "ah... I'm here to look for work uncle, is there anything I can do in this place uncle?" gulp...

"oh, you're here to find a job apparently, I see" the uncle looked me up and down. "What can you do for me kid? Since your body looks so thin, I think you won't be able to do such a heavy job."

"I will do any job uncle, as long as you pay me, I can do even heavy work, even though my body looks very thin I have a punching power of 47 and the stamina to run 5.2 km uncle," I answered enthusiastically. "Oh, you're strong enough huh? you're willing to do any job as long as you get money? Did you ask your parents for permission before you came here kid?" the uncle replied.

"I don't have parents anymore uncle, my parents died in a beast attack 3 years ago. and now I only live alone because of that right now I need money, can you give me a job uncle?" I answer. "You want to do anything?" the uncle asked me.

"Yes, I will do whatever you ask uncle," I answer. "Even though the job is quite dangerous? You still want to do it?" uncle responds.

"How dangerous is this job, Uncle?" I asked. "It's quite dangerous because you might lose your life doing this job." the uncle smiled. "how are you still going to do it?"

'what? I could lose my life at this job, but if I don't take this job, I don't know when I'll be able to get another one any time soon.' I thought to myself. 'and if I can't get another job, then I can't afford my training and I won't be able to pass the entrance exams to the academy.'

"no problem uncle I will take this job, however dangerous the job. I accept" I answered enthusiastically.

"Fine if that's what you want I will tell you what job you will do. then listen carefully."
