Back to the Peak

ey can earn some money this way, but not much.
But these people were different.
They won’t mind paying extra for a better service.

Tao Rubao's had brought Shi Qingyang lunch, and he was naturally now eager to assist his boss in seeking more business

The newcomers were all foreigners who had just returned from combat and were taking their time acclimating.
They hadn't yet communicated with anybody here.
Shi Qingyang was first to attract their attention.

Cheng Ran looked at him with curiosity.
The old man beside him smiled when he noticed that Shi Qingyang was about the same age as his young master.

“Then you do it.” As he said, he opened his communication terminal and send someone to pick them up.

Outside the city, the radiation interfered with the signal, so they could only notify others after entering the city.

The old man returned his gaze to Shi Qingyang after sending the notification.
“Both the tanks and the security equipment must be thoroughly washed.
We'll have someone come get them tomorrow.”

“Yes, sir! We’ll do an excellent job!” Shi Qingyang answered immediately.

He initially thought Tao Rubao's car wash shop was too small for the whole job.
If these people were pressed for time, they would have to delegate some of the business to the other tank washes.
But if the tanks were to be picked up the next day, it was no longer an issue.

Except for the anti-rad suits of the people in Cheng Ran's vehicle, the safety suits of the people in the other vehicles were stained—these people had to have killed a lot of mutant beasts along the way.

Shi Qingyang felt even more sympathy for Cheng Ran after thinking about this.

Despite the fact that more cities were being built and roads between them, when humans are seen in the wild, many mutant insects will take the opportunity to strike.

As a result, city-to-city travel had always relied on mobile fortresses.
Cheng Ran didn’t arrive on one, implying that the Cheng Clan wanted to keep his presence a secret.
The Cheng Clan was one of Yangtze River City's most powerful clans.
Cheng Ran’s grandfather was an eighth-level rad-warrior.

No one knows Cheng Ran's real identity as Cheng Clans young master for the two years he stayed in Spark City.
He was even bullied at school.
The secret was top notch.

Shi Qingyang was aware that there were many politics involved in the big clans, but none of this was his concern at the time.

He was just sixteen years old at this time.
He had only recently awaken his rad-power.
He can’t go outside the city.
At present, he can only train his body.

Shi Qingyang calmed down as he reflected on this, and then worked on cleaning the tanks.
He once watched a video on how they use to wash cars thousands of years ago.

His first thought was: how luxurious! Nowadays, not only was food expensive, but so was the water.
A regular one liter water bottle cost five credits.
He didn’t even drink one whole a day!

Shi Qingyang and Tao Rubao used a washing machine to roughly clean the shells of several tanks before manually cleaning the gabs on the tanks and the inner walls of the tanks.

While Tao Rubao had never owned or driven a tank, he liked them as a man.
When he stared at the fancy tanks, his eyes gleamed.
He wished to hug them.
Shi Qingyang was much calmer then the boss.
He's had owned a lot of high-class tanks, and it was way past time to be envious of other poeple tanks.

Shi Qingyang and Tao Rubao washed these six tanks for three hours until they were all cleaned.
Tao Rubao was overjoyed in the afternoon for such a huge job.

In the evening, when most tanks had returned to their owners, Tao Rubao usually went home to eat dinner and Shi Qingyang bought a nutrient meal box on the way home from work.
But today was different.

Tao Rubao again proposed to get Shi Qingyang a box meal.

“Qingyang, I invite you to dinner today!”

“No, Uncle Toa, I’ll buy one myself.
You already invited me in the afternoon.
It’s too much money.” Shi Qingyang declined right away.

He can’t keep accept his kindness.
The biggest expense for ordinary person was food.
If he really needed to do it, a day or two would be fine but any more and Tao Rubao would undoubtedly be unhappy.

Tao Rubao thought for a while and said.
“How about this, Xiao Yang? In the future when you come to work uncle will pack you lunch and nutrient meal box.”

“Thank you, Uncle Tao!” Shi Qingyang expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

“Uncle Tao asked you to lunch today at noon.
Here are the credits for the evening's nutrient meal box.” Tao Rubao said.

He earns two hundred credits for each advanced tank he cleans and maintained, six in total.
Excluding expense, it was possible to make seven or eight hundred credits, plus the cleaning of the suits, with a net profit of one thousand credits.
Shi Qingyang founded him this business.

Shi Qingyang quickly thanked him again.

He actually didn’t give damn about what he ate.
Despite the fact that the nutrient meal was awful, it was nutritious and filling thanks to the variety of miscellaneous ingredients.

When he left work that day, Shi Qingyang felt very good because he was full.

The sun had long gone down, but some lamps were lit on the dome above, displaying the whole city very brightly.

Most of the entertainment places were on the ground, and the city was naturally stunning and vibrant at night, but Shi Qingyang did not linger here.
He quickly returned to the underground settlement, and then to his residence along the long street; on the way, he also purchased a bottle of water and a nutrient meal box.

There was absolutely nothing in his tiny room.
He discovered a shabby record board and started to plan his future.

He was now convinced that everything he had witnessed was real and he will never make the same mistake again!
