An abstract trainer who taught Charmander the Incinerate move

Chapter 37 Factory Workers (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Liyong Industrial Park, Hualong Real Estate Agency.

After finishing that steaming bowl of noodles, Mo Zhen and Gong Ping stepped into the renowned Hualong Real Estate Agency in the Lower District, ready to uncover the truth behind this "God of Unity's" daily wage lifestyle.

This is a gathering place for talented people in Liyong City, a unique corner that brings together all aspects of society.

Step into this place and you'll encounter all sorts of social oddities; every open and closed mouth can reveal a legendary experience comparable to that in "Story Collection."

Everyone here is talented and speaks very nicely, but in essence, they are all a bunch of incompetent lazy dogs who work one day and rest three days.

Their words are 70% true and 30% false, full of artistic embellishment.

Having spent many years navigating such an environment, Gong Ping's background is self-evident.

Faced with the dazzling array of job postings on the wall, Gong Ping frowned, his expression showing growing difficulty.

"Damn it! These intermediaries are absolutely heartless! They've driven the hourly wage down to 2 pesos! They're practically exploiting us to death! Sigh, now is definitely not a good time to work in a factory. If we could wait until after the New Year, there will be plenty of good factories waiting for us..."

However, even though he wanted to return to his old job to regroup and prepare for a big breakthrough next year, his limited resources forced him to face reality.

Looking at the wisps of smoke rising from the industrial park in the distance, Gong Ping let out a sigh of despair that came from the depths of his soul.

"The jobs have all been taken by those elves. Those damned beasts are all incredibly lazy when it comes to work. The damned middlemen are taking advantage of this to drive down prices, saying that if we don't do the work, there will be plenty of elves to do it, and they're taking a huge cut of our commissions. Sigh, life is getting harder and harder for us people who rely on daily wages to make a living."

Yes, in the Pokémon world, those who earn a living by working a day job not only have to compete with other players, but also with Pokémon that possess unique skills. The job market is simply appalling.

On the other hand, Mo Zhen had also chosen a day-paid job.

Of course... this job wasn't chosen by him, but rather carefully selected for his good homie, Xiao Huolong.

In order to help Xiao Huolong adapt to the laning intensity of the new map, Mo Zhen decided to subject it to the high-intensity training of modern industry in the daily settlement, so as to hone its will and ability.

As for Luca...

Since he couldn't find any day-wage security work and the other person's fingers were currently unable to be screwed in, Mo Zhen decided to keep it by his side as a personal bodyguard.

After all, the black dangerous creatures and Fuqiang powder dealers that randomly spawn all over the lower city are not friendly NPC units. I need a professional security guard by my side to keep things in check.

Standing outside the steamy black factory, Xiao Huolong, standing shoulder to shoulder with a group of fire-attribute workers, took a deep breath, straightened his chest, and strode into the factory area.

Challenge the black market factory daily pay, Day 1, GO!

Upon entering the factory gate, a wave of heat mixed with steam hits you, as if you have entered a steel jungle shrouded in mist.

The oppressive atmosphere felt tangible, weighing heavily on the shoulders of every elf.

Their job as fire-type spirits is simple: to boil water in a steam engine.

Looking back at the history of human energy evolution, we see a journey from using wood to boil water, to coal, then oil, and finally nuclear energy...

The methods for converting internal energy into kinetic energy, though varied, all boil down to the same ancient and simple process: boiling water.

In the Pokémon world, the most environmentally friendly and efficient energy source is none other than the Pokémon themselves.

The work of a fire-type spirit naturally involves this traditional skill of boiling water.

Entering their respective boiler rooms, all sorts of fire-type spirits began to unleash their full range of skills, spewing fire from various organs.

Xiao Huolong, an anomaly who cannot directly use fire-type energy to spew fire, boils water by releasing fire-type battle qi externally through the unique method of the [Burning Technique].

Watching the steam gradually rise from the boiler, Xiao Huolong blinked and thought to himself.

Is this the new special training method devised by Elder Chi? It doesn't seem that difficult...

However, after a day of working a day job, the naive Xiao Huolong finally realized that his previous so-called life of wandering and arduous training was nothing but sightseeing!

What does it mean to endure the bitterest of hardships...?

Working in a factory is the real life; this is the real hardship!

I can’t finish it, I can’t finish it at all!
The water in the boiler room is constantly circulating. As soon as one pot is boiled, a new supply of cold water is continuously injected, forming a never-ending, deadly production line.

This factory is like a greedy beast, endlessly sucking up every last bit of firepower from its body.

After just one day of day work, Xiao Huolong felt utterly exhausted, as if he had been completely drained. Both his mind and body had undergone an unprecedented ordeal.

Five-Star Warrior!
In just one day, Xiao Huolong successfully advanced from a four-star Dou Zhe to a five-star Dou Zhe under the intense, industrial-grade training.

Mo Zhen was not at all surprised by this result.

Because he knew all too well that there was no more cruel form of cultivation than doing such backbreaking work.

Even the most arrogant genius will have to behave himself after a few days of working in a factory tightening screws. The factory assembly line is a place that devours youth and dreams.

It not only leaves people physically exhausted, but also mentally empty and numb.

Countless ambitious young men, after stepping onto the assembly line, become mindless, dreamless zombies.

This is reality.

……

Meanwhile, in the dimly lit hall of an ancient castle, a bespectacled woman dressed in a Gothic dress is giving a series of sharp comments in front of a screen.

"Sigh, this beginning is too slow-burning, pass! Another one of those clichéd copycat stories, pass! The writing is too rough, it's unreadable, pass!"

Looking at these predictably uninteresting submissions, she kept shaking her head and sighing.

"Sigh, all the recent new books are just shoddy online garbage, completely incapable of bringing me literary passion or a soul-stirring experience."

Although the girl's words were sharp and sarcastic, she certainly had the right to do so.

Because this young woman is none other than Wanlong, the renowned founder of the online novel website, Zhidian.com!
In a parallel world, she became one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Unova, and in this world, she earned her first fortune by publishing physical novels.

As the tides of the times surged and changed, she relied on her keen business acumen to resolutely shift her focus online and create her own novel website.

During a period of decline for the physical publishing industry, Wanlong relied on his influence to help Zhongdian Novel Network quickly emerge and successfully enter a new era of online literature.

Ultimately, this former fantasy novelist successfully transformed into a legendary capitalist, going public through several rounds of financing and now possessing an astonishing fortune that can be counted in small amounts.

It can be said that Wanlong is a perfect example of the success of Hezhong Dream.

However, after gaining fame and fortune and becoming a successful person in the eyes of countless people, Wanlong felt more and more the profound loneliness that belongs to artists.

This is an era of information overload and diverse ideas, but those singing loudly on stage are mostly clowns trying to attract attention, while true artistic masters are hard to find.

Wanlong had not seen an artistic masterpiece that could move her soul for a long time.

But tonight, everything is destined to change...

Continuing to wander aimlessly among a pile of unsigned novels, a mysterious title flashed before Wanlong's eyes.

"Huh? What's this? 'Battle Through the Spirits'? This novel's title sounds weird, I have absolutely no idea what it's about..."

In this world, novel titles are very straightforward; you can basically tell what the book is about at a glance.

For example, "This Trainer is Incredibly Strong but Too Cautious", "About My Reincarnation as a Charmander", "Re:Zero -Starting Life in the Green Region"...

A book title as concise and culturally rich as "Battle Through the Spirits" is seen by people in this world as deliberately mysterious and incomprehensible.

Driven by curiosity about the unknown, Wanlong clicked on the novel written by this person using the pen name "Mo Zhenzhenzhenzhen".

【Fighting Spirit, third stage! 】

"Ho-"

Upon seeing just the first line of text, Wanlong couldn't help but gasp.

Hey, hey, hey... what's going on here?!

I only glanced at the beginning, and my heart started racing...

Wanlong's writer's intuition told him that this novel was definitely extraordinary!

She adjusted her glasses, which had slipped due to cold sweat, sat up straight, and began to read intently.

Ten minutes later, Wanlong couldn't help but scream.

"This...this...this novel is amazing!!"

I've never had such a crazy experience before!
As if it were something from outer space, crashing against the shore, with each page he turned, Wanlong felt countless powerful inspirations gushing out from within him like a dam bursting!

Shock, shock, and upheaval!
These exquisitely crafted words, like spring rain, nourished her long-parched artistic desert.

After many years, Wanlong once again lost himself in art!
She hadn't felt this way in years. Wiping away the tears streaming down her face, she hysterically spoke to the screen.

"Hmph! I absolutely cannot allow anyone to miss out on this masterpiece! I want everyone to read this novel!!!"
