Chapter 38: Assistant Dojo Leader
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Before Boss Liu could continue on, Zhou Chen changed the topic to the lack of people in the dojo.
“Little Zhou, you’re right. I really can’t be the only one in the dojo. If I had another helper to accept the challenge first, I would have seen their true colors and not end up like this. So, Little Zhou, I want to ask you, are you interested in being the assistant dojo leader?”
“What?”
Zhou Chen was stunned. He did not expect that a casual chat with Boss Liu would develop in this direction.
“Boss Liu, you should find a professional to be the assistant dojo leader. I’m not good enough.”
Zhou Chen declined without much thought. He really had no intention of being the assistant dojo leader of the Weijiang Dojo.
“What’s not good enough?”
The bruised Boss Liu grinned.
“As a grandmaster, do you think I, Liu Weijiang, don’t have the foresight to judge people? Don’t worry, you can definitely be the assistant dojo leader! I won’t treat you badly either. If you want food and accommodation, you will have a monthly salary of 8,000. If not, you will have a monthly salary of 10,000. You will have two days off every week, what do you think?”

“Boss Liu… are you serious?”
Zhou Chen was tempted. He knew that the average salary of the citizens of Dragon Country was less than 5,000. A monthly salary of 10,000 was already a high salary.

Moreover, this Weijiang Dojo was quite idle. It also had complete training equipment and a ring. It was very suitable for him to work here.
“Of course! As a grandmaster, when have I ever lied?”

The bruised Boss Liu said proudly.
“Boss Liu, if you really want me to work in your dojo, I can do it. But don’t give me such a high salary. Just give me 5,000. Otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t be able to afford such a huge cost.”
Zhou Chen was really tempted by this position because he had thought about the future developments and felt that he needed to have a profession. Otherwise, it would be easy for others to see through his flaws, such as his financial source being unknown.
“No need.”
However, Boss Liu immediately rejected his suggestion.
“Little Zhou, my Weijiang Dojo is now very famous on the dragon web. If the salary of my assistant is too low, what will others think? This will undoubtedly affect the reputation of my dojo! Therefore, I won’t reduce your salary.”

Weijiang Dojo is very famous on the dragon web? It is probably not a good reputation…’
Zhou Chen couldn’t help but criticize inwardly when he heard Boss Liu’s words.
“Moreover, although I can’t be considered rich in this Yang City, I have quite a lot of family assets passed down from my ancestors. I can still afford your little salary. Moreover, you have to preside over the recruitment of students after becoming the assistant dojo leader. You will also have to develop the dojo.”
Boss Liu indicated that the funds were not a problem. His wallet was very ample.
“Alright, Boss Liu, please consider carefully. If you are still okay with it when I come over tomorrow, I’ll be your assistant dojo leader.”
Zhou Chen felt that Boss Liu’s decision was too sudden. Perhaps the old man had a sudden impulse, so he let the old man reconsider it.
“No need to consider… ouch…”
Just as Boss Liu was about to refuse, he was helped up from the stretcher by Zhou Chen.
“Boss Liu, let me help you to the bedroom. Lying in the training hall will damage your reputation as a grandmaster.”
Zhou Chen, who often came to the dojo, knew that Boss Liu was living in the house opposite the dojo. Considering that it was already late at night and the stretcher was not very comfortable, he helped the old man.

Boss Liu was overjoyed when he heard Zhou Chen call him a grandmaster. Then, he suddenly sighed.
“Little Zhou, if only my two sons treated me half as well as you… they haven’t called me in years.”
Zhou Chen was surprised by Boss Liu’s sudden sentimental talk. This was the first time he knew that Boss Liu had two sons. He had always thought that Boss Liu was a lonely old man with some abnormality in his mind.
Zhou Chen comforted Boss Liu a little more before helping him to the bedroom of the house across the street. He then helped Boss Liu close the door of the dojo and left.
He had originally planned to exercise outside, but after fighting in the ring with someone, he felt that the training effect he wanted had basically been achieved, so he strolled around the city for a while before returning to his rented room.

After taking a shower, he lay in bed and opened the system interface, preparing to sleep.
He still wanted to maintain a normal sleep routine and not be affected by the Survival missions.
First, he looked at the system’s public chat area.
[Rabbit King: A newbie has arrived. I have just passed the trial mission. Seniors, please give me some insights.]
[Dong DirtyCutey: Have a good meal.]
[Second Generation Coal Boss: Collecting a large number of low bronze attribute scrolls! Physique: 250,000 Dragon Country bills! Agility and Spirit: 200,000 Dragon Country bills!]
[Sweet Melon Mountain: Soak your feet again.]
[Pure Heart: Write your will and wait for death.]

[Sandman Wants Pig Heart : Buying blade and sword-type weapons! It’s best if it’s a mid bronze rank! I guarantee you’ll be satisfied with the price!]
[August Gale: Don’t listen to their nonsense. Survival missions are not that scary. I have only lost one or two people in the past few times. If you want to gain some insights, go and look at the forum. Remember to look at the posts by the members who are marked as mid bronze by the system.]
[I Am the Mr. Wang From Next Door1: System, f*ck you. I will scold you every day if I don’t die. If you have the ability, kill me now, f*cker.]

[Yan City’s Little Fatty: Hurry up and buy some good weapons in the trading area. You can buy those high-intensity fiber clothes from the Administration. Be more cautious and ruthless in Survival missions. That’s all. The rest can only be left to luck.]
[You Won’t Grow Up Ugly if You Sing: Talent is also very important. Tell us, what talent did you obtain? Did it increase your physique, agility, or spirit?]
[In Love With Sunset: Don’t listen to the above person. Talent is everyone’s secret, it’s best not to say it.]
…
“The system is still luring people in. That second-generation coal boss seems to be buying attribute scrolls all the time, and the price has even increased, looks like he didn’t find a seller.”
After browsing the public chat for a while, Zhou Chen opened the forum.
[Talent is not only limited to attributes. Some rare talents are beyond your imagination!]
[I don’t want to be tortured by this system anymore. Does anyone know how to leave this place?]
[I am a game creator. Many people say that our Survival missions are like a game. I will talk about how much of a failure it would be if it were a game.]
