Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 560: Eager to Work

The rice cooker is filled with century egg and lean pork congee, with several small steamers stacked on top. Uncovering the steamers reveals shumai and steamed dumplings inside.

Beside them are several portions of pickles to accompany the congee.

Both pots on the stove have hot water in them, with large steam baskets on top filled with buns, twisted rolls, and meat buns.

There’s also an electric soup pot, which hasn’t been uncovered yet. Li Zhou could smell its slightly spicy aroma even before lifting the lid. When he did, the steam and fragrance rushed toward him.

As the steam dispersed, he saw a pot of beef noodles inside, topped with a few fried eggs.

Clearly, these were all prepared for him.

The steam made his eyes a bit wet.

Tuanzi practiced boxing for a while, confirming that the technique is regarded by the system as one of the cultivation techniques, successfully upgrading her skills, before grabbing a nearby towel to wipe her sweat.

"The senior brothers went out to make videos again," she said to the system, "Miaomiao is responsible for taking the fourth senior brother around."

The system was very satisfied with this arrangement, more accurately, it appreciated the senior brothers’ management and maintenance of the ’Heavenly Cloud Sect’ account.

Although the account hasn’t been open for long, just on the short video platform alone, it has millions of followers. Counting followers from other platforms, the growth rate of the ’Heavenly Cloud Sect’ account could become legendary in the industry.

The large number of followers, most of whom are active, have inspired envy and sarcastic comments from some internet celebrities, insinuating they bought followers. However, subsequent data proved these followers are self-motivated.

After all, it’s rare for someone like Duan Xiayou, who has the ability to seriously produce storyline shorts and refuses sponsorships.

Besides filming storyline shorts, the senior brothers also take turns releasing some teaching videos, all packed with practical content.

Moreover, the senior brothers are good-looking. Even without watching their short films or learning, just seeing their faces can be refreshing.

The same person can continuously provide reputation value, offering perhaps one unit after watching the first video, possibly providing a hundred units after watching five, and offering even more after viewing ten or twenty videos. This is because this person likely has a deeper understanding of martial arts and a heartfelt approval.

In the system’s view, most of the followers under this account are providers of reputation value, and it’s a constant stream.

Data accumulated to such an extent that sometimes the reputation value obtained from one video exceeds that of the host participating in one or two episodes of a program.

Programs are infrequent, whereas videos are regular.

The only pity is that audiences experience aesthetic fatigue. The system carefully analyzed the data from various videos and found that even if Gu Chi and Gu Qize alternately served as photographers, and Gu Li provided scripts, with the senior brothers occasionally displaying different martial arts, audiences gradually became weary of seeing the same faces repeatedly, causing the data to decline.

[Ancient Martial System: New faces need to appear in the videos; coincidentally, your fourth senior brother is here]

"Huh?"

Tuanzi looked baffled.

"Weren’t we talking about going out? Why did we suddenly talk about this?"

The workaholic system poured out its analysis.

Tuanzi stared in surprise.

"Little Gu, you really work diligently all the time!"

She began to reflect on her occasional laziness.

[Ancient Martial System: I am a system, I don’t get tired; you are human, you get tired, it’s normal to take reasonable rests]

Afraid that the host would follow its example and overwork, the system quickly reminded her that Li Zhou was about to come out.

Tuanzi turned around and saw the cropped-haired young man walking into the courtyard happily.

"Fourth, fourth senior brother, have you, have you finished eating?" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Tuanzi, dizzy, calculated, "It’s only been ten minutes or so."

"I always eat very fast."

Li Zhou didn’t elaborate further.

He felt really nervous in front of his senior brothers but relaxed considerably in front of his little junior sister, even willing to share his thoughts.

"Junior sister, what job do you think I should do after sorting out the household registration?"

He wasn’t comfortable with freeloading.

"Ah?"

Tuanzi put the towel back, troubled and scratching her head, "Miaomiao isn’t too sure either; maybe take you around for a bit first, and you can decide after understanding more."

After pausing for a bit, she quickly added, "No worries; Miaomiao and the senior brothers can support you, so you should focus on healing without rushing to work."

Li Zhou smiled silently.

Tuanzi vaguely felt that his smile carried a hint of bitterness.

The two went out, with Tuanzi diligently introducing things to Li Zhou, watching him seriously observe people working on both sides of the street, his expression a little forlorn.

[Miaomiao: Senior brother seems eager to work quickly, but he’s still injured, there’s no need for him to work so early, we can support him]

[Ancient Martial System: Perhaps he doesn’t want to rely on you all, or rather, doesn’t want to owe you too much]

[Miaomiao: We are family; how could that be owing? Family is meant to take care of each other]

[Ancient Martial System: I’m not sure about that, perhaps it relates to his past experiences]

Li Zhou not only paid attention to some simple job positions but also meticulously inquired about the jobs of a few senior brothers.

Tuanzi truthfully introduced them.

"The senior brother and second senior brother often attend programs to earn extra money and also make videos. The senior brother’s calligraphy and painting are very popular, and the second senior brother occasionally helps with training at a security company. The third senior brother has accompanied Miaomiao on programs before and now often works part-time as a model."

In fact, all three are well-suited for work at martial arts clubs or schools, but being disciples of the Heavenly Cloud Sect, sporadic help with training is different from being a formal trainer and instructor.

They can take disciples but are not supposed to teach cultivation techniques casually to anyone other than their disciples, so martial arts clubs aren’t suitable.

However, Duan Xiayou’s calligraphy and painting have become quite renowned, and he is well-respected in the industry. Ji Zhangzhuo is worldly-wise and versatile, seemingly from ancient times, yet with a broad social circle. Tantai Yi is handsome and elegant like a nobleman but knows nothing about music, chess, or painting; he excels only in martial arts.

But his looks are exceptionally charming and noble, with a great figure, and after participating in ’The Great Adventure Team’, magazines invited him to shoot covers in no time.

Later, that issue of the magazine sold like hotcakes, and more magazines and publications approached him for collaboration.

For Tantai Yi, who only excels in martial arts, this is considered a good job. He only needs to stand there striking poses as required by the photographer and can wrap up to go home.

"I feel none of these are my forte."

The cropped-haired young man sighed, "What kind of job should I look for?"

Tuanzi couldn’t deter his ambition to find work and also didn’t want him to exert himself too much, so she adopted the system’s suggestion.

"Why don’t you try making videos with the senior brothers first? The earnings from each video are shared equally. You just need to appear on screen to earn some."

Her dark eyes rolled, and Tuanzi planned to privately have the senior brothers arrange the easiest parts for the fourth senior brother, ideally allowing him to sit and rest.

"Moreover, this account helps promote the Heavenly Cloud Sect. Senior brother, don’t you want to promote the Heavenly Cloud Sect?"

Li Zhou quickly shook his head, "Of course I want to promote, but I don’t know how to do it; I’ve never acted before."

He came from the interstellar era, aware of making videos to earn money, but he believed he only had strength and spiritual power and lacked talent in other aspects.
