Douluo's journey to becoming stronger begins with eating soul beast meat

Chapter 852: Ordinary Daily Life in an Island Village (Part )
"Peter, this is your third trip today, are you following the driving rules?"

Village Chief Shi closed the notebook, and his kind expression suddenly became majestic.

Peter was shocked by the question from Village Chief Shi, and quickly replied, "Of course, Village Chief, I always strictly follow the rules. I take a half-hour break before each trip to avoid fatigue driving.

Moreover, this year the railway was finally built to the central plains, and the large steam locomotive was officially opened to traffic.

Compared with the previous year, when the goods were directly transported to Haili City on the east side, this year we only need to drive the car to the nearby train station.

However, although the distance has been shortened, the grain output has increased this year due to the use of chemical fertilizers, so the frequency has inevitably increased.”

Village Chief Shi stared at Peter without any sign of fatigue, and then handed the notebook to Peter.

"That's good. Remember to travel safely and don't wait until an accident happens before you regret it.

I heard from the head of another village that there was a driver in their village who had finally passed the driving test, but got into a traffic accident due to fatigue driving.

Although the damage to the machine and the person was not serious, the higher-ups directly revoked my driver’s license.”

When Peter heard this, he instinctively held tightly the driver's license in his chest pocket.

The word "revoked driver's license" brought much more pressure to Peter than the village chief Shi in front of him.

You should know that not everyone can get this driver's license.

First of all, in order to get a driver's license, you must learn to read and write a certain number of words before learning to drive.

On this basis, he also needs to learn a certain degree of knowledge in mathematics, physics and mechanics.

Then, only after passing the previous theoretical exams will you be allowed to apply for practical exercises and exams.

These requirements are extremely difficult for most poor people who have not received formal education.

Fortunately, the Quan family, who ruled the island, arranged adult night schools for them and required them to study after work.

Only once they have successfully passed the minimum requirements of night school will they be allowed to graduate.

The requirements for night school are not high. As long as you have the knowledge level of six years of elementary school in your previous life, you can graduate.

Among them, there are talents like Peter who cherish the opportunity and study hard. In just one year, he has reached the third grade level.

By the third grade level, you are basically qualified to participate in vehicle driving practice.

The mechanic driver's license, which he finally obtained after spending more effort than ordinary people, is Peter's sweetheart.

With it, not only can you take on various mechanical driving tasks, but you will also be paid more than ordinary people.

The houses they now live in, the land they cultivate, and the rice fields they cultivate are not their own.

These were all loaned to them by the Quan family in advance. Simply put, it was a zero-interest loan.

They do not get all of this for free; they need to work and continue to repay the established loans in order to truly gain the right to use it.

All the residents were not disappointed by this, but it instead aroused their fighting spirit.

Because, on Blue Silver Island, starting from night school, a platform for learning various skills and knowledge is provided.

As long as your IQ is within the average range and you choose to study hard, you will always have a way to make a living.

Of course, these opportunities scattered all over the place also need people to grab them themselves to obtain them. Blue Silver Island will not show kindness to those idle people.

That’s why people like Peter value the results of their hard work all the more.

Seeing that Peter listened to his advice seriously, Village Chief Shi stopped scaring the man in front of him.

He quickly smiled and changed the subject, "I heard that your son performed very well in the academy and ranked third in the class in the exam.

I remember your child just turned three this year." When Peter mentioned his child, he straightened up immediately, and his face was full of pride.

“Of course, this child has learned from me and has a certain talent in science. After he awakens his martial soul, if he has no soul power, I plan to let him continue to study science in depth.

When I grow up, I will become a talent in manufacturing and designing machinery.”

Village Chief Shi looked at Peter gently as he looked forward to the future, feeling deeply moved.

For people like them who don't have the talent to be soul masters, even if they have children, there is a high probability that the children will inherit their bloodline and become people without talent.

However, here, in addition to soul masters, there is another profession that will receive respect and preferential treatment no less than soul masters.

That's the blacksmith.

The blacksmith here is a broad concept. If we break it down further, there are mechanics who design and manufacture steam machinery, as well as soul guides who forge rare soul guide metals and manufacture soul guide devices.

The soul guide part requires soul power to manufacture, so it is not within their expectations.

However, Mechanic is a great road left for mortals.

As far as they knew, in the Blacksmith Association on the island, there was a blacksmith named Yuan, who, with his mortal body, ascended to the highest seat on the same level as the divine blacksmith Lou Gao.

With such examples before their eyes, how could they not fantasize?

Even without the talent of a soul master, humans can create powerful machines that surpass soul masters with their own strength.

This clear fact brings hope to these mortals.

The same is true for Village Chief Shi. He traveled far away from the town, despite the hardships, to the newest and most advanced location for development, and served as village chief in order to lay a better foundation for himself and his children.

Allowing him to have more options in the future.

This group of mortals who have been suppressed for countless years will unleash power beyond everyone's imagination after finding the entrance to break through the bottleneck.

"Oh, I have some good news. I'm only going to tell you one piece of news. Do you want to hear it?"

Village Chief Shi's expression became extremely mysterious, which made Peter feel a little uneasy, but his inner curiosity drove him to nod.

Although Village Chief Shi's expression is honest, he is actually playful and sinister inside.

He hooked his finger, asked the other person to listen more attentively, and whispered softly.

Peter, not knowing what message he had heard, cried out in surprise.

"Really? It's true."

Seeing Peter's excited reaction, Village Chief Shi quickly raised his index finger to his lips and said, "Shh, shh, keep your voice down, do you want to mess this place up?"

Peter quickly covered his mouth and shook his head speechlessly.

Village Chief Shi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, glared at Peter and said, "Remember, don't make this matter public, just keep it to yourself.

Well, it’s time for you to go to work.”

The village chief, who was frightened out of his wits, waved his hand and drove Peter away.

Peter also suppressed his excitement and drove his beloved car to deliver the supplies.

The reason he was so excited was a simple message.

"The young master is back."

This short sentence completely dispelled the fatigue of long-term driving.
