Chapter 010 Hey bro, there's something wrong with your skills!
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Jin Hai, but my friends in the underworld call me Brother Hai. I work as a combat sports agent. I see you're wearing a Jiangbei No. 1 High School uniform, so you must be a senior. Your skill level isn't high, which is perfect for boxing. A duel at the same level, life or death, 500 spirit stones per match, how about it?"
Jin Hai's two large gold teeth were dazzlingly bright in the distant sunset. His words sounded like they were about something trivial, but their content surprised Shen Bai.
"Whether it's sparring partners or actual matches, the injury rate must be very high!"
"Of course! Being a sparring partner for a boxer is like being a live target; you're bound to get injured. Fighting in the ring inevitably leads to injuries and fatalities, but that's what makes it appealing to audiences!"
Jin Hai beckoned Shen Bai to the roadside. Looking at the various flying swords and airships whizzing overhead, he said, "I've been watching you for a while now. There's a longing in your eyes, a longing for the life of the upper class. Those luxury airships worth millions, you couldn't afford them even if you worked as a repairman your whole life."
Shen Bai fell silent for a moment, and he had to admit that what the other party said made sense.
In both his past and present lives, he was a poor, unfortunate working man who never had a chance to turn his life around.
Class solidification is not a simple term.
"With your good looks and assets, you're bound to have a lot of rich women interested in you. A single tip from them would be more than your appearance fee!"
Jin Hai clearly knew how to manipulate people's emotions. With just a few words, he painted a wonderful picture for Shen Bai: "Just imagine, when you stop boxing, you can make friends with rich women, and your life will be perfect!"
"Life offers a rare opportunity, and the chance is in your own hands. I believe in you!"
……
Shen Bai ultimately did not agree to fight, but he still left the other party's business card.
No one can guarantee that they won't need money urgently at some point.
He considered Big Gold Tooth as a fallback option, since he still didn't have a plan for his tuition at the Taoist academy.
Moreover, even if I were to go, I would first have to master all the martial arts techniques to the perfect level before going. At that time, in a battle against someone of the same level, I would definitely achieve a crushing victory.
After wandering around for an hour, Shen Bai still couldn't find a suitable part-time job. He didn't really trust these training shops, so he had no choice but to head to the milk tea shop where he worked.
The milk tea shop is twice as busy at night as it is during the day, so Shen Bai quickly got into work mode.
The main reason the owner of this milk tea shop was willing to keep Shen Bai, a student who was doing odd jobs, was because of Shen Bai's good looks.
With Shen Bai in the store, the long queue at the door never stopped.
Normally, seeing the long line at the entrance would make Shen Bai feel helpless, because it meant that he wouldn't get a moment's rest for the next four hours.
But today is a little different.
[Ding! One rival detected, jealousy level 60. Become the rival...]
[Ding! One rival detected, jealousy level 60. Become the rival...]
The system notifications were almost non-stop. Although he knew these were just passersby and probably wouldn't reach the 80-point extraction ability threshold, Shen Bai still showed his best side today.
"Wow, that young man's smile is so sunny today!"
"He usually has such a serious face, what good news has happened? Could he be dating someone?"
"I've been trying to get his contact information but haven't been able to. Should I take advantage of his good mood today and try to get his messaging code?"
……
The shop's regulars also noticed the highlight. Especially the young ladies, who excitedly took out their photo stones to capture Shen Bai's smile.
Seeing that someone was taking a picture with him, Shen Bai's heart was moved, and he shouted loudly, "Today, any customer who orders three cups of milk tea can have a chance to take a picture with me."
The girls in line immediately got excited upon hearing this, and some of the girls who brought their boyfriends also got excited, shouting that they wanted to buy two more cups.
[Ding! Jealousy from Xie Binsheng +3, current level 63!]
[Ding! Jealousy from Xiang Nansheng +3, current level 63!]

……
The male shop assistant, Qi Hao, was furious: "Are you crazy? This will affect our order processing speed. How long will we be busy tonight? And shouldn't you have discussed this decision with the manager first? This will definitely affect our sales for today!"
Shen Bai shrugged and said, "If the queue lengthens, there will only be more people in line. And if they order three drinks at a time, our sales will definitely improve. The manager will be overjoyed!"
Qi Hao was speechless with anger: "You..."
He turned to the store manager who was at the cashier: "Manager, look, with Shen Bai acting so recklessly, today's order processing speed will definitely be slower..."
Hu Feier, the store manager who was busy taking orders, brushed a strand of hair that had fallen across her forehead with her right hand and said without looking up, "I think we can give it a try. Holding onto orders has always been a winning strategy for our milk tea shop."
Qi Hao was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage.
[Ding! One rival detected, jealousy level 60. Become the rival...]
[Ding! Jealousy from Qi Hao +8, current level 68!]
Shen Bai raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but smile even more happily.
Sure enough, where there are women, there's nothing new.
Although store manager Hu Feier can't be considered a great beauty, she's still above 80 points. Her capable demeanor adds to her charm.
The young men in the shop were all more or less interested in her.
However, all the other employees had girlfriends, while Qi Hao and Shen Bai were still single, so Qi Hao was always a little wary of Shen Bai.
Today, Hu Feier is openly favoring him, no wonder Qi Hao is furious.
"My turn! My turn! I'm ordering three drinks. Come on, handsome, I want to take a picture with you!"
A short, short girl with short hair took out a photo stone and tossed it to her boyfriend. Then, she stood happily in front of Shen Bai, put her arm around his, and tilted her head slightly on his shoulder.
"Xie Binsheng, hurry up and take a group photo for us!"
Xie Binsheng picked up the photographic stone with a dark expression, feeling as if his hair was turning green.
[Ding! Jealousy from Xie Binsheng +10, current level 73!]
Hearing the notification sound, Shen Bai grinned, revealing eight teeth. He even reminded the young lady, "Miss, do you think the photo looks good? If not, we can take it again."
The young woman slapped her forehead. "Oh right, my boyfriend's photography skills are so bad, the photos must be terrible."
"Take a few more! You always take such terrible pictures, I have to delete them and retake them!"
Shen Bai casually placed his hand on the young lady's shoulder.
[Ding! Jealousy from Xie Binsheng +10, current level 83!]
……
[Ding! Your rival Xie Binsheng's jealousy level has reached 83. You can extract one of his abilities.]
[Please choose one of the following three abilities from your rival Xie Binsheng.]
[Skill 1: To juggle three relationships]
[Skill Two: Eighteen Touches]
[Skill 3: Basic Knowledge of Talismans]
[Note: The host can only draw abilities from rivals who are stronger than themselves, and each rival can be drawn a maximum of three times.]
Upon seeing the system notification, Shen Bai shifted his gaze from the young lady to the unassuming man for the first time.
Hey buddy, there's something wrong with your skills!
