Just started high school, and was assigned a self-discipline system.

Chapter 5 Basketball Level 1, Find a Job

The others could tell at this point that Lin Ye was probably a beginner, someone who had only recently started playing basketball.

But so what if they're newbies? No one was going easy on them; they were enjoying the thrill of crushing noobs.

As Lin Ye was repeatedly treated like a bot by the opposing team, coupled with the occasional trash talk from Skinny Monkey and Brother Long, he was under immense pressure.

"Watch out, Little Black!"

"Seriously, are you even capable, bro? You can't even defend against this!"

"My grandma managed to block that shot."

For a moment, Lin Ye was a little dazed. Was this the NBA? This was too intense.

Lin Ye really needs an Iron Elbow skill right now, to give the two opponents an elbow strike and see if they still dare to put pressure on him.

Just as Lin Ye was wondering whether to proceed, it seemed that he had enough experience points, and the sound of skill upgrade came to his mind.

[Basketball level 0 upgraded to Basketball level 1]

Upon hearing the system notification, Lin Ye's eyes lit up.

However, he didn't experience any warm current flowing through his body, nor did his physical strength or injuries recover instantly. He just became more familiar with dribbling, and his mind was no longer blank when playing.

As Tiger dribbled the ball toward him, Lin Ye inexplicably seemed to know which way he would break through.

Instinctively, he reached out and snatched the ball from Tiger's hand. His own ball had disappeared while he was dribbling, leaving Tiger completely bewildered.

"Wait, buddy, where's the ball?"

Turning around, Lin Ye passed the ball to Brother Long, who then made a long pass, and Skinny Monkey scored a layup.

After finally getting a point, Skinny Monkey came over and slapped Lin Ye's butt hard.

"That's good, although it seems like there was an element of luck involved."

Upon seeing this, the mantis and buffalo almost instantly engaged in a fight.

"Is Tiger any good? Even my grandma could beat Little Black."

"If you can't play basketball, wear black stockings and be a cheerleader on the sidelines!"

Tiger was furious when he heard their trash talk.

"Shut up! If you bark again, I'll smash your heads in. It's easier for me to beat you two up than to give you a handjob!"

Afterwards, amidst everyone's laughter and cheers, they played ball for an hour straight. Although Lin Ye still performed a little worse than the others in the later stages, he was no longer completely outmatched and occasionally had his own highlights.

"Alright, alright, that's enough for today, let's rest."

"walk slowly."

After saying that, the group went their separate ways home. Looking at the task completion rate, which had reached 6/20, Lin Ye felt that the task was too easy. In just one hour, he had met enough people just by playing basketball in the past few days.

After going back to rest, Lin Ye began to think about where else he could meet people. The library? After thinking about it, he felt that this place might not be suitable.

"How about you find a class to take?"

Thinking about this, Lin Ye felt it was alright. After all, he was indeed quite idle every day and didn't have to devote all his time to tasks. Earning some pocket money wasn't a bad idea.

Moreover, working part-time seems to be a good option.

After thinking it through, Lin Ye rested for a while and then immediately went online to look for temporary jobs.

Part-time staff at Tustin on weekends, $160-$200 per day.

Delta Force leveling service: 200-450 per day

Full-time food delivery riders are offered 270-300 yuan per day for electric bikes.

Starbucks server: 180-200 per day

...

After browsing around online, Lin Ye finally settled on the job of a food delivery driver. After all, although he looked a little better than before, he was still just so-so. If he were to apply for a waiter position, he probably wouldn't pass the appearance test.

Game boosting is out of the question. He's only ever played League of Legends since he was a kid, and he's always been stuck in Bronze. Ever since Iron was released, he's been stuck in the Iron abyss ever since.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Ye quickly contacted the other party.

"Hello, are you still hiring delivery drivers?"

The other side replied very quickly.

"Hello, we also need you to provide your ID card and health certificate."

"Um, is it okay for minors to work as food delivery drivers?"

After he sent the message, there was a noticeable silence on the other end, and the chat box remained in the "typing" state.

After a long pause, the person on the other end finally asked, "Are you 16 yet?"

"It's completely full."

Lin Ye quickly replied.

"Okay, then if you want to run it, you'll need your parent's approval. I can send you our app; you can download and register it yourself. There's a mode for minors."

"Okay, okay, I got it."

After saying that, the other party first added Lin Ye on WeChat, and then sent him a software link. Lin Ye downloaded it immediately. He knew that Lao Lin would come back every day at noon, so he planned to tell Lao Lin about it at noon.

As for the rest of the time, he first figured out the app, then took a rare break and started watching short videos. Because it was in youth mode, Lin Ye didn't see any pretty girls.

His main content consisted of watching knife-forging competitions, horse hoof repair videos, competitive eating videos, and gaming videos, etc.

It can be said to be very pure. Lin Ye is lying on the sofa now, watching videos and laughing like a fool, looking like a child.

By the time Lin Ye came to his senses, two hours had passed. He checked his phone and it was already 11:30.

Looking up, Lin Ye suddenly realized that Old Lin was looking at him.

After realizing that Lin Ye seemed to have seen him as well, Old Lin sighed.

"Oh dear, this child is hopeless. Who does he take after?"

Seeing Old Lin shake his head as he walked into the kitchen, Lin Ye suddenly remembered the important matter.

"Dad, come here for a second, I need to talk to you."

"What is it?"

Old Lin walked straight over.

"I have absolutely nothing to do during summer vacation, so I want to get a summer job."

"Oh, you don't have any money? What happened?"

"Hey, what are you saying? When have you ever given me pocket money during holidays?"

Hearing Lin Ye's words, Old Lin thought about it and realized that it seemed to be true.

"Okay, what kind of job are you looking for?"

"They provide electric scooters for food delivery, what do you think?"

"Delivering food? That's a bit dangerous."

Old Lin did not refuse immediately, but began to think about it.

Lin Ye waited there. Old Lin looked up at Lin Ye and, seeing the expectation in Lin Ye's eyes, finally nodded and said, "Okay, you don't have much to do during the summer vacation anyway, so you can train a bit. But safety should be the priority. Don't be like those delivery riders who risk their lives just to deliver an order."

"Okay, Dad, I understand."

Hearing that Lao Lin agreed, Lin Ye breathed a sigh of relief. He then quickly handed over his phone, Lao Lin scanned his face, and signed the consent form. Lin Ye finally completed the registration.

Starting tomorrow, he can also earn money by delivering food.
