"My Quirk is also pretty useless. It just makes my body glow. Zero combat power," Yang Xiao said with a wry smile. He couldn't tell someone he didn't know that his Quirk was good, let alone very powerful.
"No, no, no, how can your Quirk be useless?" The bespectacled man immediately retorted after hearing Yang Xiao's words: "You should know, if your body glows, you don't have to worry about walking at night. And if you meet a bad guy, you can focus the light on one point to blind their so-called '24K titanium alloy dog eyes,' giving you a chance to escape. The uses of this Quirk are far more than that. You're just being modest."
Yang Xiao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly it felt like he had figured something out. Yes, if the power is concentrated on a single point, the attack power would definitely explode. His Quirk wasn't just something that could only glow; it had strong combat potential.
Today's work wasn't in vain. Something he hadn't been able to figure out was pointed out by someone else. Yang Xiao suddenly felt happy, and even the foul water didn't seem so smelly anymore.
There were passersby around, all covering their noses and watching Yang Xiao dig in the stinking ditch. They couldn't figure out what had fallen in there that required such effort to retrieve.
However, these passersby didn't ask; they just watched quietly. But a few people couldn't stand the smell and left.
"Found it!" Yang Xiao fumbled for a while and finally found the bespectacled man's phone. This was thanks to the Holy Light's glow; otherwise, it would have been really difficult to find it so quickly.
"Damn, it's just a broken phone and you have to dig for it like that? I thought it was a diamond ring or a necklace!" A man in his twenties shook his head speechlessly and walked away.
The remaining people also left one after another; it was really quite boring.
"Thank you. Go back and wash your hands first. It's not far from the Broken House anyway. You can give me the phone after you wash it." The bespectacled man was also very happy. Spending some money to find his phone so smoothly was worth it. There was valuable information on his phone that couldn't be lost.
After returning to the Broken House, Yang Xiao and the other man immediately started washing their hands, and washed the bespectacled man's phone while they were at it. It took a lot of soap to get rid of the odor.
Yang Xiao learned that the bespectacled man was named Tian Chuanwen, a college student. Because of his strong computational ability, his university major was also related to this field. Relatively speaking, he ranked high in his school.
After the matter was settled, Tian Chuanwen left. The first order of business was successfully completed, which could be said to have gone very smoothly.
"You worked hard on your first day, having to work and clean a stinky ditch. The meal will be delivered soon. You can eat first. If business is good these next few days, I'll add more dishes for you," Wu Shiyin said with a smile. He had a feeling that the Broken House was about to make a comeback and return to its peak.
"It's fine to work harder. I just don't want to take on some messy orders," Yang Xiao suddenly remembered something and looked at Wu Shiyin, asking, "By the way, Gin-san, you can't be the only one here. You need to hire more people to share the workload. Otherwise, what will we do when there are a lot of orders? I can't handle them all by myself."
"That's natural. I'm actively recruiting people too. Maybe someone will come to apply in a few days. Don't worry, now that the Broken House is open again, people will come to work. When there are too many people, I can only keep three. You'll definitely stay, don't worry. I'll give you a raise," Wu Shiyin said affirmatively.
Yang Xiao didn't really believe what this guy said; squeezing into a job here seemed unrealistic. But he was the boss; he had the final say. He could do whatever he liked, as long as the salary was paid and the treatment was good.
Lunch was delivered on time this time, and the boss left after dropping it off.
Yang Xiao looked at the dishes and found them a bit shabby. There were three dishes: two vegetarian and one meat dish. The meat dish was actually sushi with some salmon, but only two pieces had salmon inside; the others were still vegetarian.
Forget it, as long as it's edible. Yang Xiao's current standards for food weren't very high. After all, he didn't have much money. Once he earned enough for daily expenses and had some left over, he could try some of the local delicacies.
After all, this was a country with many delicacies, comparable to China. Of course, China was still the best. Few countries could beat China in culinary arts.
It might sound a bit boastful, but Yang Xiao was telling the truth.
After lunch, another order came. This time, it was an old lady. She had been very anxious recently, but no one could help her. The Broken House was closed every day, and the entrance was smelly, so she couldn't find anyone to help.
As a result, she passed by today and found the Broken House actually open. She immediately walked in and explained her purpose.
It turned out the old lady's pet dog had gone missing a week ago. There had been no news after a week of searching. The Broken House could also take on this kind of work. Although the chance of finding it wasn't high, it was still a hope.
"Ma'am, we can take your order. But there's only one person at the Broken House right now, so finding your dog might not be very fast. But if we get any clues, we'll notify you as soon as possible," Wu Shiyin said, handing the price list to the old lady.
The old lady waved her hand and said, "I know the price. As long as you can find my Huahua, I can pay you more."
The dog's name was Huahua. The old lady took out a few photos and showed them to Wu Shiyin and Yang Xiao. After Wu Shiyin and the old lady agreed on the initial price, they accepted the order.
After the old lady left, Wu Shiyin looked at Yang Xiao and said, "This order isn't urgent. You can take your time. But we still need to pay attention. Memorize the dog's appearance carefully and bring it back if you see it. If you encounter any problems, you can call me. I don't have many other skills, but I still know some people in this society."
"Understood." Yang Xiao took note of the dog's appearance. When he had time, he could walk around the area and maybe find some clues.
The afternoon passed in the blink of an eye. Only two orders were received today. Wu Shiyin said it was normal to have just two orders when the shop first reopened, and it would get better in a few days.
But Yang Xiao didn't want to be too busy. If it took up too much of his time, he wouldn't have any left to train his Quirk and body. Training his Quirk and body was his main goal; the part-time job was just to cover basic living expenses.
Dinner was ramen, which tasted pretty good. This made Yang Xiao a little curious. How could the delivery boss manage to cook all three types of meals? Breakfast was Chinese, lunch was sushi—a signature of the island nation—and dinner was ramen, also a local specialty.
At 8 p.m., he got off work on time. Wu Shiyin had no intention of making Yang Xiao stay overtime. He let Yang Xiao go back to rest at the appointed time, which satisfied Yang Xiao greatly.
Who wouldn't be happy about no overtime?
