Because of having no money for college, Lin Fan applied to join the military. His conscription is due in two months, and he reckons it is enough time for him to train his stats. With 55 points in talent, he aims to get 165 levels worth of stats in this two months, especially on amplification, health and willpower. Nevermind authority for now, he is only a trainee, and wont be having anyone to command for a time. What he can do for the mean time is to train his personal stats in order to become better.
With the ability to meditate, he now has no problems in forgoing sleep in order to save more time. He does not even have to eat food anymore for he can just use willpower to cast Vigor restoration and keep his metabolism going. Since he now has left the orphanage, in order to make ends meet, he works as a construction worker.
At the construction site. The other workers were dumbfounded as they saw the newcomer Lin Fan carry four sacks of cement on his back.
"Woah! I never noticed the new kid is really strong."
"Unbelievable! Last I remember, he cant even lift one."
"Maybe its talent. I've heard some people are able to adapt faster than others."
The work was hard, but Lin Fan did his best and the synergistic boosts of symbiotic overgrowth with his savage body and master work glaive allowed him to show unbelievable feats of strength.
During the break, the workers gathered in their respective cliques and Lin Fan was famous as he showed great industry in their work just now. If it were'nt for the foreman to call him, Lin Fan would be torn to multiple parts with their enthusiasm in pulling him to hang out with them.
"Boy, You look strong! Would you like to go to the Olympics someday? I know a guy who knows an insider on the C country weightlifting department. We can set you up to meet, who knows? Maybe you'll win a gold medal for our country someday."
"No thanks, boss."
The foreman spoke to Lin Fan. He tried to invite the boy to the weightlifting team, but the boy was elusive and wily. Soon, the time for break was over, and everyone soon returned to their work.
After the work, as the crew disbanded, the foreman tried to invite Lin Fan again, but he was turned down again. Lin Fan proceeded to train. He went to home with his stuff and used his skill to wash his clothes. The dao is all inclusive, and his air skill is also able to turn into its water counterpart, allowing him to save some money which should have gone into water bills. After putting them on the makeshift clothesline to dry, he exercised until his next shift
Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Day after day after day, Lin Fan trained himself, becoming stronger and better than he was yesterday. Finally, on the day of his assembly for conscription, he arrived on his recruitment point 100% battleready, with 55 levels worth of stats on all his attributes, even Authority.
It turns out that while he was training, his other coworkers saw his dedication and so they tried to join his routine. At first, they suffered hard and almost tried to quit, but Lin Fan had an idea of tricking them for stats, so he fooled them into continuing to train under him. These guys became Lin Fan's little bros carrying a Restless Bones conjuration, farming authority for their labor and capital overlord. Even then, the group of people under Lin Fan became rather strong and astonished others with their tireless work ethic. Because of that, more and more people joined Lin Fan's clique and it snowballed into almost alerting the company. But, contrary to what the company expected, the people who exercised became better workers, so the newcomer Lin Fan became somewhat like a honorary foreman who teaches calisthenics to the team. With the little promotion, Lin Fan turned the workers into an army of conjurations and the company saw a crazy contract completion rate. In record time, the firm finished all their contracts easily with time to spare. One is luck, two is coincidence, three's a charm, but four or more is unbelievable, so the higher ups must have noticed the culprit must only be Lin Fan, so they tried to check him out. After Lin Fan told him that he was going to leave and go to the army, they understood his plight so they let him go, and Lin Fan was given bonuses for the good productivity of the firm during his time there. Lin Fan took back his conjurations and went to his home to pack his stuff and leave his apartment for good.
The first day after Lin Fan left, the construction firm did not notice any drop in performance, but soon, they discovered that the productivity was really bad and even everybody's condition regressed, with all workers not even able to do the exercises Lin Fan made them do last time he was here. They called Lin Fan back and told him about it. They begged Lin Fan not to leave, even giving him incentives and some shares, and Lin Fan almost did'nt accept, until....
"Well, I can't sacrifice my future in the army just to stay in your company."
"Mr. Lin, there must be a middle ground somewhere. You must return. Your ability to inspire people is very amazing, we are sure you will be very successful in the army, but we also have connections that can help you in being promoted faster. I saw the difference in the training of these men with and without you. Can't you please reconsider?"
"Hmmm.. there is a way to train them without me looking on their progress from time to time, but its very troublesome. If you're still interested, pick me up here on my apartment and call all the workers to assemble on the headquarters, were doing a refresher course. Bear in mind though, I can only train and vouch for the people who will arrive on the HQ tonight, as for the newcomers, while I am in the army, I can't do anything for them."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Lin. A pleasure to cooperate with you."
And so it happened again, Lin Fan bestowed max powered relentless bones buff on all the workers that night. After that, he was brought by the firm company's car to the army's recruitment station.
A few days, the higher ups of the company saw the productivity and performance of their employees shoot up once again, and they were happy in the signing up of Lin Fan as a mascot. As for the shares and profit that were given to Lin Fan, who cares about that bit of money? As long as the company can gain fame as a firm that completes contracts fast, money and customers will keep arriving sooner rather than later.
