3.Time-limited task.

In the past, Tang Song was not willing to participate in such discussions.

After graduation, his life wasn't going well, and he was too busy with work to be interested in listening to others boast.

He preferred focusing on planning projects when he had the time.

But things are different now. As a man destined to become a tycoon in the future, he needs to look down on them from a higher perspective.

Opening the group chat, he scrolled to the top.

Tian Han: "@All members, quickly check out the class leader's latest Moments!"

Dong Wenshan: "Damn! The ID card from Penguin Company, the class leader has become a programmer at BAT!"

This message naturally set off an explosion in the group.

For a recent graduate from a second-tier university's computer science department, getting into a top-tier company was extremely difficult. Especially in the current tough job market, entering the internet industry during a downturn made it even more challenging.

"@Wang Shuo, the class leader is awesome! Don't forget us when you're rich."

"Class leader, please share your interview experience, I need a referral."

"Need a referral!"

"Internet giants, the future is promising!"

"Envious. My current company, with only ten people and a demanding boss, pays little and requires a lot of effort."

"Master, please take me as an apprentice!"

"I'm so jealous."

"+1"

"+1"

"+10086"

...???

Tang Song looked at the group chat records, feeling a bit emotional. In the two to three months since graduation, everyone had undergone significant changes.

After experiencing the harsh realities of society, life became much more pragmatic than during their school days.

The comparison shifted from academics to work, salary, and social relationships.

Originally, Tang Song, like everyone else, should have envied and admired their achievements. However, now that he had the system, earning a decent income even with the basic daily task, he had nothing to envy.

After praising for a while, Class Leader Wang Shuo finally appeared: "Just finished my busy day, thanks everyone! It's like a blind cat catching a dead mouse. I'm lucky, and now I feel a bit uneasy, afraid of making mistakes at work. By the way, I've rented a one-bedroom apartment near Haidian. Whoever comes to the capital must let me know and we'll gather. If you need a place to stay, you're welcome to crash at my place."

In his words, there was naturally a sense of self-satisfaction, which triggered a wave of blessings and praises from classmates. After all, Penguin is considered one of the top internet companies in China, an unreachable giant for many computer science graduates.

Tang Song also followed suit and posted in the group: "Impressive! Congratulations, congratulations!"

However, as soon as he showed up, a few classmates with good relationships started asking about his current situation.

"@Tang Song, this is the first time you've spoken up since graduation. How are you doing now? Did you stay and work in Yan Cheng?"

Lu Zi Kuan: "You guys don't know, Tang Song has switched to planning now, working enthusiastically. Every time I invited him out, he said he was too busy."

Tang Song smiled and truthfully replied, "Recently had some bad luck, encountered a stupid leader who marginalized me. Just quit today, planning to start looking for a new job."

Tian Han: "Just graduated, there are still plenty of opportunities in the future."

Lu Zi Kuan: "Right, if you're not here, there's always somewhere else for you."

Wang Jun Feng: "After working, I realized that there are really a lot of brainless leaders. When the performance is bad, they target us newcomers. We have to do the work and carry the blame."

Watching several friends with good relationships comforting him, Tang Song felt quite heartwarming.

Cheng He Cao: "@Tang Song, you haven't even finished your probation, and you got fired directly? Offended the leader, right! I think it's because your emotional intelligence is too low, you don't know how to handle interpersonal relationships. This is not school, and no one will indulge you in society."

Cheng He Cao was a local in Yan Cheng. It was said that his family owned a fairly large hotpot restaurant, making him a small second-generation wealthy person in school.

He had a bad temper and a small heart, always showing off and enjoying the feeling of being praised.

During college, Cheng He Cao formed a gaming team in a game, and all the male students in the class followed him to play.

At that time, Tang Song was obsessed with the game "Future Tycoon," so he had no interest in participating.

Cheng He Cao felt he had lost face, so he started keeping an eye on Tang Song, occasionally ridiculing him.

Now that he saw Tang Song facing setbacks, he naturally jumped out to mock him.

Tang Song smiled and directly ignored this brain-dead second-generation guy, "@Lu Zi Kuan @Tian Han, I know you two are doing well in Yan Cheng. When I'm broke, I'll come find you guys for a free meal."

Tian Han: "Hahaha, if you don't mind being called a freeloader, sister welcomes you anytime."

Lu Zi Kuan: "Hurry up and send out resumes. I need to save money to buy a house and get married. I can't afford to support you."

After chatting with them for a while in the group, Tang Song looked at the time. It was already 6 PM.

The dinner was almost digested, so he decided to take advantage of the daylight and go for a run in the nearby small park to improve his physical fitness, starting from now.

Just as he was about to say goodbye in the group, a certain second-generation wealthy guy jumped out again to gloat.

Cheng He Cao: "@Tang Song, don't blame me for being straightforward. If you're really short of money and can't find a job, just go deliver takeout. At least you can earn a living. Using your strength to make money, nobody will look down on you. It's better than shamelessly mooching off classmates when you're broke."

"This is too much; everyone has difficult times."

"Speak properly, don't be so insidious."

Seeing Cheng He Cao becoming more and more excessive, and other people in the group couldn't bear it anymore, they began to speak up for Tang Song.

At this point, Tang Song had a somewhat indifferent attitude, responding with a touch of malicious humor, "Little Grass is right. Delivering takeout is indeed a good choice. It exercises your body and makes money at the same time."

He casually sent a laughing and patting dog's head emoji.

Cheng He Cao, who disliked being called "Little Grass" the most, and seeing Tang Song's emoji, suddenly turned red with anger. Unable to contain himself, he cursed out loud.

However, it was a class group chat after all, so he had to consider his face and could only continue typing to mock.

"Sometimes, I envy you. You can take a risk when you have nothing."

"Unlike me, just graduated and was clearly arranged by my family. Now I'm managing a new branch they opened, so busy that I don't even have time to drive the new sports car I"

"That's it. I'll post the location of the hot pot restaurant in the group. If you're short on money for meals, come here and find me. I'll make sure to treat you well!"

Tang Song smiled indifferently, put away his phone, and stretched lazily. He didn't care about arguing with fools like Cheng Hecao. Instead, he preferred to spend his time studying the system, enhancing his personal abilities.

"Ding, detecting that the host can maintain a calm and positive attitude when facing classmates' mockery. Triggering a time-limited task."

"Time-limited task (Delivery King) has been activated. Please go to the task center for details."

Tang Song was initially surprised but soon felt ecstatic. A new task so quickly! The system is amazing! He quickly opened the task center.

(Task Details: Within 7 days, enter the top ten of the local food delivery rider "Daily Order Quantity" ranking.)

(Task Rewards: 10 times cash reward for the delivery earnings, random gift package)

(Note 2: An on-demand delivery app has been registered for the host. Please log in with your phone number 182********.)

Oh my god!

It seemed that Cheng Hecao's guess was correct. Tang Song was indeed going to be a food delivery rider. Tang Song was not unfamiliar with this job; he had done similar part-time work during university. However, entering the top ten of the daily order quantity ranking was extremely difficult.

Tang Song was aware of the challenges. He had seen videos of top delivery riders on platforms like Douyin, and they were all hardworking individuals with excellent physical stamina and driving skills. Achieving a high daily order quantity, especially in a complex urban environment, required not only physical fitness but also extensive riding experience.

"Ding~, new items are available in the store with a limited-time discount. Please go to the store to check."

As expected, the system's assistance came just in time. Having appropriate items could make the task much easier, just like in a game.

Opening the dazzling store interface, two items, shining with a golden light, appeared on the previously empty shelves.
