Avoid detours, start by running a nursing home.

"We ordinary folks are really, really happy today..."

Zhang Yang hummed a song as he walked up the stairs with a beaming smile.

"Task completed, rewards being distributed..."

『Random Beginner Skill Pack *1...』

『Latest TCL K560 Laptop *1: Please wait patiently for delivery...』

(By this time, there were already packages being delivered; I remember it was called something like Zhaijisong or something like that.)

'Cash * 5000: After-tax income, deposited into the bank, account number: ...; the bank card is in the dean's office drawer, please check...'

It's no wonder he was so happy looking at the lines of text that popped up in front of him.

5000 in cash!

If you earn 5000 a day, wouldn't you earn 15 a month?

Beautiful!

Look how considerate their system is! The rewards are distributed directly after tax, without any discounts!

Zhang Yang felt happy as he looked at the words in front of him.

He used to work part-time while studying, but even working himself to the bone, he might not be able to earn this much.

If you do even the smallest thing wrong, you'll get scolded by the store manager. If you're a little slow, impatient customers will rush you.

They're like rats caught in a bellows, suffering from both sides.

What now?

In just one day... no, from receiving the task to completing it and receiving the reward, it only took a day or two, and the money was in my hands.

Aside from being a little unhappy at the beginning because of the old man's provocation, everything else was incredibly easy!

Why would you need a bicycle?

He hummed a song as he gently tapped his finger.

A green treasure chest that was slowly rotating in front of him emitted a soft light, then shattered and disappeared, replaced by a thin green book.

Comprehensive Physical Fitness (Beginner): Improves physical fitness in all aspects, including strength, endurance, speed, reaction time, etc.

"Equivalent to the national second-level athlete standard..."

As the skill book transformed into a green light and merged into his body, Zhang Yang immediately felt a sense of lightness throughout his body.

It feels like I'm starting to feel lightheaded when I walk.

"A national second-level athlete?!"

Looking at the skill description and feeling the power surging through his body, he couldn't resist taking a few quick steps, then tiptoeing and lightly jumping, slapping the wall with a loud "smack".

"Hahaha, I can't believe I jumped that high!" He looked up at the spot he had just reached and couldn't help but laugh.

He used to work frequently to earn money, so his physical condition was quite good.

But it's definitely still far from the level of professional athletes.

Take the 1000 meters for example. He can run it, but it takes him almost five minutes to finish.

And when they reach the finish line, they will definitely be so exhausted that they will collapse on the ground and not want to move at all.

But now, feeling his own condition, he felt that running 1000 meters in under four minutes or even three and a half minutes should not be a problem, let alone five minutes.

Looking at his body again, it seems that the muscle lines all over his body are more defined than before.

What skill could be more suitable for a fragile college student like him!

"But speaking of which, could this skill reward be related to the fact that the quest was accepted from Elder Jiang?"

After the initial excitement, Zhang Yang couldn't help but think about the source of this skill reward.

Because Mr. Jiang was once a world champion, he received an award related to physical fitness.

That doesn't seem entirely unreasonable.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but recall the two passive skills he had obtained when he first activated the mission system: Observation and Persuasion.

In fact, these two skills seem to be somewhat related to his own experiences.

Observe words and expressions...

As an orphan with no one to rely on, he had to live cautiously, always watching the expressions of those around him.

Isn't this skill simply about visually representing the results of your observations?

The persuasiveness of my words is also related to the eloquence I honed over many years of working as a waiter or something similar.

It doesn't seem entirely unreasonable...

If that's the case, what if all the elderly people in nursing homes were given a task to complete it all on their own...?

Wouldn't that mean we could learn all their special skills?

Thinking of this, Zhang Yang couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Hand-machined cars, Level 8 fitter, world champion, criminal police captain, watch movement developer...

If you can get a basic skill with a favorability rating of 60, you can be comparable to a national second-level athlete. What about the ratings of 80, 90, and 100?

Will there be intermediate and advanced skills? Will the student surpass the teacher?

If we can learn all their special skills, why would we be afraid of being taken over by AI in 20 years?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Then I'll create a video account, build a car, make a watch, and finally do a chest-breaking stunt...

If you like, comment, and share with one click, you should gain tens or hundreds of thousands of followers.

Although the garden villa was nice, it couldn't be directly converted into cash right now, so subconsciously he still felt that it was a bit unrealistic.

Or perhaps this house, which might be worth billions in the future, is simply too much of a dream for him.

Even though I have the property certificate now, I still feel a little apprehensive deep down, as if I can't control the situation.

But now, the improvement in his physical fitness has allowed him to truly experience the benefits brought by the system.

She traveled back to 2005 and even became the director of a nursing home...

If before he felt like he was playing a game or interacting with NPCs, now, subconsciously, it's starting to feel real...

"Oh, right, 5000 yuan!"

Thinking of another important reward, Zhang Yang quickly started running towards the top floor.

……

"Xiao Zhang, you're here?"

He had just run to the dean's office when he pushed open the door and saw Liu Jing sitting on the sofa, smiling at him.

"Yes, Sister Liu, we just finished dealing with Old Jiang's matter."

Zhang Yang scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly, "I was just thinking of coming back to see if there was any work I could do."

After working for so many years, he's mastered the art of saying the right thing to the right person.

"Xiao Zhang, you really gave me a surprise today."

Liu Jing smiled and gestured for him to sit down on the sofa: "Old Jiang is very stubborn. Many times, it's no use trying to persuade him. The more we talk to him, the angrier he gets."

"I didn't expect your unconventional approach today to be so effective."

"It seems we really didn't choose the wrong person this time."

"No, that's not my achievement alone. Without the foundation laid by Sister Liu and the others, I wouldn't have been able to persuade Old Jiang so easily."

Seeing Zhang Yang's honest and unassuming expression, Liu Jing nodded in satisfaction.

Young man, you've found your way in life!

Little did she know, Zhang Yang was secretly laughing as he looked at the two lines of text above her head.

Feeling happy...

65...

Sigh, I wish Sister Liu were also an employee of the nursing home!

Doesn't this mean I can earn another 5000 yuan?

And maybe I can even pick up a skill or something while I'm at it?

We've suffered a huge loss!
