I practice martial arts by adding skill points in modern city-Chapter 608: 【195】Martial Arts Rhythm, South Pacific Anomaly_4

So, a healthy body is truly a person's greatest treasure. A healthy life can save you quite a bit of money.

Listening to those people who didn't like studying in their early years, preferred being hooligans, and finally went to a technical school to enter the workforce chatting away.

Wang Longhu couldn't help but express his feelings.

In this era, studying is the most stable and best way out.

Once you enter society, you will discover that some jobs strictly require at least a bachelor's degree. Without one, you don't even qualify to enter certain companies.

And among those with low educational backgrounds, how many can actually make money in some emerging industries, like live streaming?

It's all survivor bias, just a few people at the top, and those lower down the pyramid earn nothing and can't even afford to eat.

Some people only see the glamorous life of that small group at the top, subconsciously ignoring the vast number of nameless bottom dwellers struggling without hope of rising.

Therefore, study well and aim to achieve the highest degree possible; that's the real truth.

With a higher education, you access higher circles; your mentors, classmates, alma mater will all be great support for you.

Take Wang Longhu's middle school classmate, for instance. He studied all the way to Zhejiang University, and now works with his mentor on construction projects, has bought a house, and settled in Hang City with a stable annual income of over 300,000, which beats 80% of his peers.

The truly lucrative jobs are found in these advanced circles.

Those who cannot access those circles can only earn a stagnant salary. This is something Wang Longhu realized after listening to these people's complaints.

It reminded him of the days from March to April last year when he was still grinding away as a corporate drone in Hang City, seeing no hope for the future.

Thinking back now, it does feel really hopeless.

Thankfully, Wang Longhu has now surpassed the need for money; to him, money is just a number.

Given his four-fold cultivation level and personal strength, even without a penny, he could live well in the deep mountains and forests.

This drinking gathering lasted until past 1 a.m., with the group finishing seven or eight cases of Budweiser, leaving cans all over the floor.

The dishes on the table ranged from seafood to take-out deli food, switching to peanuts and sunflower seeds when those ran out.

You could say they conversed endlessly, some of the drunk people even slept at Liang Kuan's house.

And those who held their liquor well insisted on going home.

Wang Longhu mixed in with the group, greeted Liang Fan, and left directly.

The streets at 1 a.m. were deserted, Wang Longhu felt the cold wind brushing against him, his eyes clear with no signs of drunkenness.

Given his constitution, he could drink 100% alcohol like water, let alone mere beer.

"Changkeng, Mountain God..." Wang Longhu murmured to himself with some interest, turning around and sprinting towards Changkeng Village.

He didn't expect such things to happen in Changkeng after he left Dong County.

When he stayed at his grandmother's place before, he never heard of any Mountain God in Changkeng.

Now he definitely had to take a good look at what this entity really was.

Wang Longhu was extremely fast, last year it would take him more than twenty minutes to run from the urban area to Changkeng Village.

But now, in just a few minutes, without even warming up, Wang Longhu had arrived at the quiet night in Changkeng Village.

Sure enough, deep in the village, the entrance to the mountain path was blocked with tape and many concrete barriers were placed on the road.

Clearly, they didn't want outsiders to enter.

Wang Longhu chose to ignore it and took big strides, sneaking into the mountains.

According to what those drinking people said earlier, there was earthwork planned to dig stones in the mountains of Changkeng.

Following along the mountain wall, Wang Longhu quickly found a construction site with several excavators parked.

It was utterly quiet here, not even a single light. Wang Longhu spread his Spiritual Telekinesis outward to search for any living beings nearby.

Soon enough, he discovered two people staying in a makeshift iron shed within the construction site.

Approaching quietly, he heard whispers and chatting coming from inside the shed.

"Brother Wu, is it really useful for us to wait here like sitting ducks? Can we really capture the Mountain God?"

"Of course it's useful. I saw with my own eyes a long, beautiful big snake that was killed by the excavators a few months ago, with scales as jade-like as you can imagine.

If it hadn't been bleeding, I would've thought an artist carved it out of jade. It was taken by authorities directly.

And I could tell it was a female snake, the male would definitely come back here after the female's death. I don't believe in any Mountain God.

I only believe that on this island there are two very large snakes. If we capture footage of the other, it would be a trending news for sure.

We could even grow a Douyin account out of this story."

"But Brother Wu, I feel it's unreliable. If we really encounter that big snake, could we handle it? What if we get eaten?

I don't want to die; up here it's far from the village and any help, screaming won't get anyone to answer. If we do get eaten, nobody would even know."

"Ptooey, ptooey, don't jinx it like that. I brought sulfur and firecrackers; these are things snakes are most afraid of, no matter how big a snake."
