"Ah, I did save someone, but oh heavens, I still have a whole cart of parcels that I haven’t delivered."
Looking at the full tricycle of undelivered parcels, Hu Bing felt like crying but had no tears.
Logically, these parcels should have been delivered to customers before noon twelve o’clock.
But now it’s already ten o’clock, which means he has to deliver the nearly forty remaining parcels within two hours.
"Hahaha, poor streamer, you’re going to get a couple more complaints soon."
"The person above is too mean, I wish the streamer encounters a romantic adventure while delivering parcels."
"Keep delivering, I believe you can do it, after all, you are a Martial Arts expert."
Seeing Hu Bing’s situation, viewers in the live stream room started to release a barrage of comments, stirring chaos.
"I won’t talk to you guys later; if I don’t get these delivered within two hours, I’ll really face complaints. Then I can’t exactly tell customers I was catching a fugitive instead of delivering, can I?" As he said this, Hu Bing laughed himself, for although the reason was true, he knew no one would believe it.
In the next two hours, Hu Bing didn’t look at the live stream room anymore, instead showing the viewers what a professional courier looks like.
Hu Bing had all the parcel locations memorized by heart and delivered them one by one following his planned route.
The procedure was the same for each: first a phone call, then either delivering upstairs or placing into the courier box.
Within two hours, the full cart of parcels was reduced to only two that were requested to be delivered tomorrow because nobody was home.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, even with his stamina, such intense work was becoming a bit too much to handle.
"Feel sorry for the streamer for one second, climbing up and down the stairs is really cool."
"Poor me, sitting at home with the AC, WIFI, and watermelon watching the streamer sweat, what a life."
"Scared me, I’ll go buy something in a moment to see if all couriers are this professional."
It was only after delivering all the parcels that Hu Bing had time to check the live stream room and to his surprise, there were still over eight hundred people watching his live stream. He guessed they were loyal fans who had seen him perform the rescue.
"Phew, the morning’s work is done, there shouldn’t be much to do in the afternoon, and I’ll see you all tomorrow morning, don’t miss it."
Hu Bing said to the camera, feeling very satisfied with his first live stream debut, mainly due to the influence of those three hundred Adoration Points.
And now, the number of followers in his live stream room had risen to nearly two thousand.
This was a good sign, even if among these two thousand people only a hundred of them learned to empathize with the hardships of couriers, it was a victory.
The morning’s work was indeed done, but Hu Bing still hadn’t completed today’s system task, and that was a matter of life and death.
"Xiao Jianjian, how did I do today?" Hu Bing got on his tricycle ready to finish today’s task.
Professional points were even more influential than Adoration Points.
"Mediocre, I didn’t expect you to know how to live stream." Xiao Jianjian laughed heartily.
Regarding Hu Bing’s performance today, Xiao Jianjian was very satisfied.
This direction was definitely the right one—should tens of thousands of people watch Hu Bing’s live stream, then the income from Adoration Points would undoubtedly be far more than today’s three hundred.
Hu Bing carried today’s system task delivery, an envelope containing a piece of paper.
Jin’an District XX community just happened to be on the edge of the area under Hu Bing’s charge, right at the boundary between urban and rural areas.
It was indeed a place in B City where all sorts of people mixed together.
However, the system this time gave some face, at least providing Hu Bing with a specific apartment number.
"Is this the place?" Hu Bing confirmed for a long while before recognizing the apartment number above.
It was an aging building, even the handrails of the staircase were somewhat rusted.
Standing at the door, Hu Bing knocked gently.
With a creak, the old door slowly opened.
"Who are you looking for?" A small head poked out, appearing to be a fifteen or sixteen-year-old cute young girl.
"I’m looking for Wei Tongtong, is she home?" Hu Bing checked the name on the envelope to make sure.
"I am Wei Tongtong, who are you, brother?" The little girl sized up Hu Bing curiously, wondering what the handsome older brother wanted with her.
"There’s a parcel here for you, please sign for it, sign your name here." Hu Bing passed the envelope to her.
The girl then came out from behind the door, and through the half-open door, Hu Bing could see inside.
Describing this home as bare was by no means an exaggeration, the dimly lit room had only a desk and not even a lamp turned on.
It seemed the girl’s family was not in good condition.
After signing, the girl slowly opened the parcel, and out fell an admission notice.
"B City First Senior High School Admission Notice, Wei Tongtong."
Hu Bing’s eyes were sharp, and he saw the name on the notice.
Seeing the notice, the girl’s face turned gloomy, tears swirling in her eyes.
"What’s wrong, little sister? Shouldn’t you be happy to get the notice?"
Hu Bing knew about B City First Senior High School; it was the best high school in B City, hard to get into without excellent grades, even with money.
"I should be happy, but I can’t afford to go to school there." After speaking, Wei Tongtong bit her lip and shook her head.
Something stirred in Hu Bing’s heart; this must be the reason why the system had assigned him this task—otherwise, an enrollment notice wouldn’t require such an effort.
"I’m a courier from Pegasus Express, can I talk with you downstairs?" Hu Bing showed his work badge to the girl.
He indeed wanted to help the girl, but didn’t know where to begin.
If he were to tell her upfront that he intended to help, she would certainly take him for a swindler.
Despite his desire to help, he still adhered to the professional ethics of a courier and never entered a customer’s home.
"Okay." The girl looked at Hu Bing and nodded, then turned back to grab her keys and followed him out.
After chatting with the girl by the roadside for a while, Hu Bing began to understand her situation.
The girl was an orphan who had grown up with her grandmother. Knowing her family situation, she worked especially hard and was very successful.
Not only was she her middle school’s beauty, but her academic performance was also consistently among the top.
But the tuition fee for B City First Senior High School was a whopping twenty thousand yuan.
She and her grandmother could only rely on minimum living allowances and some money she earned from weekend work; there was no way they could afford the twenty thousand yuan tuition fee.
Hu Bing thought for a moment and picked up his phone to call Zhao Yi.
"Hey, this is Hu Bing; I need a favor from you."
"Just tell me what you need, brother, no need for favors."
Zhao Yi on the other end was very tactful. He knew that Hu Bing making this call meant that their issues were water under the bridge.
"Meet me at Jin’an District XX community. I’ll wait for you here." After speaking, Hu Bing hung up the phone.
