Chapter 28 Job Cards

【Job Card (Gold): After use, you can choose one of the following two professions (Warrior, Mage) to complete the job change quest. Successfully completing the job change quest will grant you that profession.】

"Job Card, Job Change Quest, Obtain a Job."

Chen Hao stared blankly at the description of the [Professional Card] for a long while.

When he came to his senses, he found that everyone had already prepared the catch and was just waiting for his order.

"Let's go back."

Chen Hao said.

"Yes," everyone answered in unison.

Then, each person carried a homemade carrying pole on their shoulder, along with fish, wolf carcasses, and the chopped-up python carcass, and walked into the forest.

Chen Hao composed himself, no longer thinking about the [Professional Card], and focused on leading everyone back safely.

Because the journey back is destined to be anything but peaceful.

Sure enough, not long after they left, the smell of blood attracted a tiger.

This tiger was no smaller than the one Chen Hao killed.

Upon seeing the tiger, everyone was filled with fear, and no one dared to look the tiger in the eye.

Only one person stood tall and fearless, meeting the tiger's yellow eyes in gaze.

Having killed a tiger before, Chen Hao was not afraid of it.

Of course, Chen Hao wasn't confident he could win a real fight.

Unless the opponent stands still and lets him charge up to shoot an arrow.

But that was clearly impossible. The tiger was pacing back and forth, seemingly observing the strength of Chen Hao and the others.

"Li Laoshi, drop the fish."

Chen Hao said to Li Laoshi beside him.

Li Laoshi dared not delay, and quickly took a string of fish from his carrying pole and cut the string holding the fish together.

Then he picked up a fish and threw it hard towards the tiger.

The fish hit the tiger, causing it to roar suddenly.

"Roar!" The tiger roared through the mountains and forests, startling a flock of birds into flight.

Seeing that it seemed to be preparing to attack, Chen Hao shot an arrow directly.

The arrow was stuck in the tree next to the tiger, the arrowhead deeply embedded in it.

Seemingly sensing danger, the tiger suppressed its wild nature and retracted its claws.

Chen Hao's face darkened.

His target was the tiger, but he missed.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

Li Laoshi, who caused all this, quickly apologized, his honest face almost breaking into tears.

He was afraid of tigers, but he was even more afraid that his mistakes would lead to heavy losses for the team.

"It's okay, just don't throw so accurately next time."

Chen Hao didn't turn around, but offered words of comfort.

It would have been better if they hadn't offered any comfort; the more they tried, the more upset Li Laoshi became.

Over there, the tiger sniffed, as if it had caught a whiff of food.

Then it began to tear at the fish that had fallen to the ground, and in just a few bites, a five- or six-pound fish was gone.

After finishing eating, the tiger looked at Chen Hao again.

"It works."

Chen Hao's eyes lit up.

"Li Laoshi, keep throwing."

"But……"

"Stop being so wishy-washy, hurry up, I don't want to say it a second time."

With no other option, Li Laoshi could only continue throwing fish. This time, he didn't hit the tiger, but he got closer, allowing the tiger to get even closer to the group.

The people in the group were so frightened that they dared not move, fearing that they would be targeted by the tiger.

"continue."

Chen Hao's face darkened slightly. He took a deep breath and said.

Knowing he had gotten into trouble again, Li Laoshi's face turned red, but he gritted his teeth and continued throwing fish.

This time, the tiger was thrown much further away, and it ran after the fish, which made everyone in the group subconsciously breathe a sigh of relief.

After several attempts, Li Laoshi finally mastered the technique of throwing fish, keeping the tiger at least twenty meters away from everyone.

Chen Hao had considered taking advantage of the tiger eating the fish to gather his strength and shoot an arrow.

But every time he drew his bow, the tiger seemed to sense a sense of crisis and looked up at Chen Hao.

Chen Hao put down his bow and arrows, and the bird lowered its head to eat the fish again.

"So perceptive?"

Chen Hao had no choice but to give up.

After being fed thirteen fish, the tiger seemed to be full, and lay down on the ground, licking its paws.

"Let's go."

Chen Feng waved his hand and led the way around the tiger.

The tiger merely glanced at them before continuing to lick its paws.

Only after they were more than a hundred meters away from the tiger and could no longer see it did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

"That was so exciting! That was so exciting!"

"Huff huff"

The two brothers, Zhou Wen and Zhou Wu, seemed to have entered a state of excitement and were extremely excited.

"Slap, slap," Chen Hao slapped each of them on the back of the head.

"Exciting, isn't it? Shall I take you to see that tiger again?"

"No, no."

"No, Brother Chen, I'm sorry, I misspoke."

The two slaps calmed them down.

"Let's keep going, don't stop."

Chen Hao looked at everyone and said in a deep voice.

Twenty minutes later, the group finally arrived at the concrete plaza in front of the building.

Everyone's faces showed an expression of relief at surviving a disaster.

It turned out that after encountering the tiger, Chen Hao and his companions encountered a pack of wolves, leopards, jungle lions, and other carnivores.

Left with no other option, Chen Hao had everyone leave some of their food behind to feed the animals.

Carnivores that have eaten their fill will have a significantly reduced desire to attack.

Chen Hao wasn't afraid of these wild beasts. If he couldn't beat them, couldn't he just run away?

But he wasn't alone; he had a team of over a dozen people with him.

"Finally back."

Looking at the familiar building, the group of people were very excited.

Chen Hao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then he had someone count the remaining fish.

As for the sections of the water python's corpse and the several wolf carcasses, they had already been fed to wild animals.

"There are eighty fish left."

After counting it, Zhao Long reported the number to Chen Hao.

"Give Zhou Wen, Zhou Wu, and the other four men three fish each."

"Yes."

Soon, there were six people, each with three fish.

"Thank you, Brother Chen."

The six people happily accepted it.

As participants, they know best how much danger they went through for these fish.

"Alright, it's getting late, everyone can go home now."

"If you still want to hunt with me tomorrow, come find me. If you want to quit, I won't force you."

Chen Hao addressed the six people.

"Also, if you're short of water, find a container and come here to get some."

"Understood, Brother Chen."

Everyone nodded quickly.

After saying this, Chen Hao led Zhao Long and the others into the lobby on the first floor.

When he met Qin Feng, the other party actually took out a bunch of white cards and handed them to Chen Hao.

"This is?"

"Brother Chen, have you forgotten? Before you left, you said that as long as someone came with a card to exchange for water, you should let them exchange it."

"After you left, some other people came and exchanged their cards for water."

Qin Feng explained.

"Good job, you did a great job."

Chen Hao took the cards and couldn't help but praise them with satisfaction.

This immediately made Qin Feng smile with joy.

There were more than twenty cards in total. Chen Hao didn't look at them carefully and put them all away.

"Brother Chen, what should we do with this waterwheel?"

"Does this mean we have to move to the 18th floor?"

Then, Qin Feng asked about the waterwheel.

Let alone moving it to the 18th floor, it would be difficult to even move it up to the second floor.

It should be noted that even after exchanging a significant amount of water and using some of it, nearly 4 tons of water remained out of the 5 tons in the water truck.

Everyone uses water very sparingly and dares not waste it.

Carrying more than four tons of stuff up the stairs would take a lot of effort, even with a dozen strong men.

Chen Hao thought for a moment and said, "How about this, we use some of it first to make the waterwheel lighter."

"Then contact the people on the second floor and see who is willing to help us keep the water truck safe. We will give them some supplies as a token of our gratitude."

"clear."

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng immediately began making arrangements.

He began to arrange for people to transfer the water from the waterwheel to buckets.

Originally there were six buckets, but upon seeing this, Chen Hao provided six more wooden buckets and one iron bucket.

The iron bucket was made by Chen Hao by combining three wooden bucket cards. He originally wanted to see if the capacity would increase after combining them.

Unexpectedly, the material changed instead, from a wooden barrel to an iron barrel.

[One-Star Supply Card (Blue) - Iron Bucket: Made of molten iron, it can hold water or other items]

This made Chen Hao feel like he had suffered a huge loss.

Thirteen buckets were quickly filled with water, and then Chen Hao announced, "Three people per bucket, wash yourselves."

"Very good."

Upon hearing this, the women cheered, for they loved cleanliness above all else.

The men laughed too; they had done the most work these past two days, sweating buckets.

Those around them watched this scene with envy.

They also wanted to take a bath, but the conditions didn't allow it.

Chen Hao, of course, had his own bucket, and he used that iron bucket.

The women went to a small room to wash themselves, which was the storage room on the first floor, and it once saved Gao Jie's life.

Men don't care that much; they just take off their clothes, splash water on themselves, and rub it off.

As they washed, they began to compare the size of the mud balls they had rubbed off their bodies.

In the end, a total of eighteen buckets of water were used.

Women use too much water when taking a bath.

Chen Hao wouldn't have allowed them to keep adding water if he didn't want to use up as much water as possible from the waterwheel.

Then came the negotiations with the companies on the second floor.

There are four companies on the second floor, and each of them has launched a leading company.

Three of them organized a team and went to explore the jungle.

Of course, this is someone who only circled the outermost perimeter and would make a fuss over encountering a snake.

"My conditions are 100 liters of water and 100 jin (50 catties) of fish."

"What you need to do is carry the water cart up to the second floor, keep a close watch on it, and bring it down again tomorrow morning."

"Who would be willing?"

Chen Hao looked at the four representatives in front of him and asked calmly.
