Chapter 38
The Benefits of an Assistant Instructor (2)
In addition, in the past half a month, in order to ensure the efficiency of martial arts practice and delay the consumption of the Emerald Wind Powder and poisonous mushrooms, he had no choice but to add meat to his lunch and dinner.
At that time, there were not many meat tokens left. He had no choice but to buy meat with silver. With his current consumption of blood energy, his appetite had also increased greatly. Eating meat was too expensive.
In just half a month, he had swallowed more than two taels of silver!
If he ate freely, his monthly allowance would not be enough!
“I can’t eat like this anymore. I’ve already become an assistant instructor. It shouldn’t be a problem for me to get a guarantee, right?
“I have to go to the Blood Drop Cave that Pang Tong mentioned as soon as possible and buy some poison to replenish my blood energy. Otherwise, this money won’t last long.”
Stepping on the moonlight, he arrived at the entrance of Instruction Yard. The guard was a disciple, and the word “Wei” was embroidered on his clothes.
Lin Yan showed his teacher’s token. The disciple of Wei Yard bowed respectfully and let Lin Yan in.
When he arrived outside his new house, Lin Yan saw someone standing at the door, pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pan.
When he saw Lin Yan return, he immediately ran over. “Junior Brother Lin, I’ve finally found you!!”
“Senior Brother Pang? Why are you here?”
It was Pang Tong.
Pang Tong revealed a miserable expression. “You don’t even know how much effort I put in to find you!”
He had something urgent to discuss with Lin Yan. He first went to Lin Yan’s dormitory and knocked on the door, but no one answered.
After waiting for a long time, he casually pushed the lock and pushed the door open. Only then did he realize that the room was empty.
Then, he went out and met the disciples of Wu Yard who had just returned from the martial arts arena. They were enthusiastically talking about Lin Yan knocking over Mi Tai. After asking, he found out that Lin Yan had already entered the Instruction Yard!
He had heard this news from his father in advance, so he wasn’t surprised. However, he didn’t know where Lin Yan lived!
He could only hurry over to the administrator’s office to ask, but it was no longer office hours.
He had no choice but to go around in circles and find Eldest Senior Brother. Only then did he know where Lin Yan lived and he had been waiting until now.
“Senior Brother Pang, why are you looking for me in such a hurry?”
“Of course, I’m taking you to meet Senior Sister Chen. Go, go, go, quickly follow me! I handed your test paper to Senior Sister Chen. The answers were all correct! I even told Senior Sister Chen that you wrote the answers all in less than an incense stick of time!
“When Senior Sister Chen heard this, she insisted that I bring you to her immediately to verify it.”
Lin Yan looked at Xiaozhi and frowned slightly. “Senior Brother Pang, it’s too late. I haven’t tidied up at home. Do you think we should go tomorrow?”
“Junior Brother Lin, Senior Sister Chen said that if you really have such an amazing computational ability, she will immediately acknowledge you as her teacher and pay you at least 100 copper coins per lesson. Moreover, based on your ability, the highest you can get is 500 copper coins per lesson!”
A hundred copper coins per lesson? The highest was five hundred copper coins?
One lesson was equivalent to two months of his salary!
Lin Yan’s eyes lit up.
Pang Tong continued, “Senior Sister Chen’s family runs a bank and she treats money like dirt. If you’re really capable enough, she’ll definitely give you 500 copper coins a lesson!”
Lin Yan carried Xiaozhi and turned to walk out.
After taking a few steps, he turned around and realized that Pang Tong was stunned and did not follow him.
“Senior Brother Pang? What are you waiting for? Lead the way!”
Pang Tong: “…”
Earning money was not embarrassing.
The two of them walked out in a hurry.
However, there was still some distance between them and Dragon Yard. They chatted casually as they walked.
“Junior Brother Lin, how much money do you charge for becoming an assistant instructor in Wu Yard?”
“Two taels of silver a month.”
Pang Tong clicked his tongue. “That’s really not much money. Even the weakest martial artist guards get three taels of silver a month. If you’re a Strength Realm martial artist who’s good at martial arts, you can even get more than ten taels a month.”
Lin Yan asked, “Is the salary very low?”
Pang Tong changed the topic. “From the numbers alone, it’s low, but don’t think it’s too little. To be honest, the price isn’t low.”
Lin Yan patted the sleepy Xiaozhi. “What do you mean?”
“This job is so easy.
“Assistant instructors only need to teach the disciples of Wu Yard the Five Animal Hands Technique for 2 hours every morning. Moreover, they can take a break every seven days. It doesn’t take much effort. The rest of the time, they can drink wine and be carefree. Wouldn’t that be enjoyable?”
Lin Yan nodded. In his previous life, he would be so envious of this workload.
“Secondly, safety!
“Strength Realm martial artists are mostly guards. They are all fighting and killing. They hang their heads around their necks and exchange their lives for money.
“Especially now that Ding’an City is filled with desperate and ambitious people.
“In addition, the increasingly frequent attacks and killings in the Guangchuan Mountains have even removed the shackles in people’s hearts. Greed and evil thoughts have all appeared. It’s very chaotic.
“But Dragon Gate Pavilion is safe! With so many disciples here, even if the entire Ding’an City is in chaos, Dragon Gate Pavilion will definitely be impregnable.”
This was also the reason why Lin Yan signed the contract without hesitation.
“And the most important benefit is that you don’t have to pay extra money like the disciples of Wei Yard to learn boxing!”
Lin Yan was slightly stunned. “Could it be that the disciples of Wei Yard have to pay an additional fee to learn boxing?”
Pang Tong rolled his eyes. “Of course! What Wei Yard teaches is not an unknown body-nourishing martial arts technique like the Five Animal Hands, but our Dragon Gate Pavilion’s secret technique, the Dragon-shaped Fist!
