'Time to change shifts.'
Chen Jianye quickly thought.
If he didn't change shifts, at his current rate of gaining experience, it would take about twenty working days to accumulate enough experience to level up.
Almost a month.
Too slow.
No, there's also the lottery.
Chen Jianye suddenly thought, and at the same time, a prompt sound appeared in his mind.
"Congratulations, Host's single skill has reached LV3, enabling one lottery draw."
The next moment, a lottery button appeared on the panel.
Chen Jianye tried clicking the button.
Item after item flashed by rapidly, so fast that even Chen Jianye couldn't tell what they were.
A few seconds later, an item froze on the lottery panel.
It looked like a card.
Chen Jianye looked left and right, then went to the corner of the Pliers worker team, wanting to retrieve the card.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Jia Zhangshi was sound asleep in the corner.
A hint of annoyance appeared on Chen Jianye's face, and he shouted, "The Leader is here!"
"Ah, ah, what Leader is here?"
Jia Zhangshi quickly scrambled up, not even having time to open her eyes, her hands grabbing at the air as if holding a file, grinding imaginary parts with great vigor.
When she opened her eyes and saw Chen Jianye in front of her, her face immediately stretched long, ready to grumble a few words.
"Get out of here immediately! If I see you sleeping during work hours again, I'll call the Leader over."
Chen Jianye reprimanded him with a serious expression.
Jia Zhangshi's mouth moved, but in the end, she left silently.
Feeling guilty and in the wrong, she couldn't utter any harsh words.
After driving away Jia Zhangshi, Chen Jianye confirmed that no one was around, then reached out and took the card from the lottery panel.
Fishing Card: The Host can use this card to fish within fifty meters of themselves, with random items acquired.
After reading the prompt from the system, Chen Jianye's brows furrowed.
Although the name was 'Fishing Card,' this card didn't seem to be for fishing.
But for fishing for items?
However, the description said 'random items acquired,' which was a bit tricky.
If he used the Fishing Card on the Pliers worker team now, wouldn't he just fish out a file?
Putting the Fishing Card into his personal space, Chen Jianye absorbed the LV3 Carpentry knowledge he had just acquired.
Many previously difficult-to-understand concepts and impossible operations became effortless as the knowledge flowed in.
'I wonder what level of Carpentry my current LV3 is equivalent to. I need to find the Squad Leader for some practical experience, and change my position at the same time.'
Chen Jianye secretly thought.
Without delay, he went to the Pliers worker team area, found Wang Lif, and explained his idea.
"Made progress again?"
"Jianye, your progress is too fast."
Wang Lif pursed his lips, somewhat incredulous.
"I feel that my Carpentry Skill has indeed made significant progress, and my current position somewhat limits my technical level."
"Squad Leader, if you don't believe me, find me a task to try?"
Chen Jianye said with a serious expression.
"Alright, let me think. Your current position is roughly at the Second-Level Fitter level."
"I'll arrange a Third-Level Fitter position for you to try."
Wang Lif agreed.
If Chen Jianye's Carpentry level could improve, he, as the Squad Leader, would also gain prestige.
What's more, he was half of Chen Jianye's Master.
Under Wang Lif's lead, the two came to a Third-Level Fitter position.
The original Carpentry at that position moved aside.
"Let's do it like before. I'll do it once, you watch my operation, and then try to make a part."
"If it doesn't work, it's nothing. You're still young."
Wang Lif took the position and began to operate.
Many people in the Pliers worker team were watching this area.
They were quite puzzled by Chen Jianye learning the operations of a Third-Level Fitter position.
"This kid just passed the First-Level Fitter assessment, what's wrong with the Squad Leader?"
"Looking at this situation, Old Wang wants to put Chen Jianye in a Third-Level Fitter position?"
"That would require ability. If anyone could just do the work, what would we have been doing for over ten years?"
"The Squad Leader seems to value Chen Jianye a lot, giving him a chance to develop."
Everyone was discussing heatedly.
Yi Zhonghai also looked over, with a hint of doubt between his brows.
Chen Jianye was going to do a Third-Level Fitter position?
That shouldn't be.
Even a rocket wouldn't be this fast.
Jia Zhangshi even moved closer to watch, and hearing the discussions of the other members of the Pliers worker team, she knew that Chen Jianye wanted to challenge the Third-Level Fitter position.
She thought about how she would mock him thoroughly when he failed.
Chen Jianye had just startled her, and it wasn't Jia Zhangshi's style not to get revenge.
"Alright, Jianye, did you see clearly how I operated just now?"
Wang Lif finished a workpiece and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He hadn't worked in a long time, and occasionally doing a piece with so many people watching, to ensure he didn't lose face, he had truly shown his skill.
"I saw clearly."
Chen Jianye nodded.
"Can you do it? Do you still want to try?"
Wang Lif asked kindly.
If Chen Jianye retreated in the face of difficulty, he wouldn't blame him.
After all, he was too young, having only been doing Carpentry for less than two months.
If Chen Jianye forced it and ruined a part, he would definitely be mocked by others for being overly ambitious.
"I want to try."
Chen Jianye affirmed.
"Alright then, you come."
Wang Lif moved aside.
Chen Jianye stood in front of the Third-Level Fitter position.
The first step is to understand the dimensions and requirements of the part.
"This kid is really going to do it, amazing."
"If he succeeds, that's a Third-Level Fitter level, and how long has it been since he passed the assessment?"
"Chen Jianye doesn't even have a Master to guide him; he's learned it all by himself through working."
A group of old Carpentry workers put down their work and watched Chen Jianye intently.
Jia Zhangshi was getting anxious.
If Chen Jianye really succeeded, then he would be a steady Third-Level Fitter.
Unbelievable.
Her Jia Dongxu wasn't even a Second-Level Fitter yet.
How could this little beast from the Chen Family be so formidable?
Yi Zhonghai must have been holding back his secrets!
He deserved to be childless!
This kid must be bluffing, just you wait.
After reviewing the part's requirements, Chen Jianye officially began processing the part.
Filing and chiseling, two processing methods, were as natural as breathing to him.
Other processing methods were also performed skillfully.
At least ensuring the level of a Third-Level Fitter.
Yi Zhonghai's expression changed slightly.
Although Chen Jianye hadn't finished the work, as an Eighth-Grade Fitter, Yi Zhonghai could tell that Chen Jianye indeed had the level of a Third-Level Fitter.
This is unbelievable.
Compared to the previous Jia Dongxu.
Yi Zhonghai always felt he had taken on a pig as an apprentice.
No, two.
Now Jia Zhangshi was also a pig.
If he had been kinder to the Chen Family back then, Chen Jianye would have taken over the position and definitely become his apprentice.
Yi Zhonghai regretted it again.
He even felt a pang of heartache.
He had missed such a rare talent.
Yi Zhonghai was completely certain that if he had personally mentored Chen Jianye, there might have been a situation where both Master and apprentice were Eighth-Grade Fitters in the future.
How much prestige he would have had then.
Moreover, Chen Jianye was young; even if he spent ten years practicing to become an Eighth-Grade Fitter, he would only be thirty.
He would still have a chance to become an Engineer, enter the Technical Office, or even transition to a Leader position.
Yi Zhonghai knew he was old and had no more opportunities.
As he got older, his physical strength couldn't keep up, and the level of an Eighth-Grade Fitter would irreversibly decline.
If he had a young apprentice to take over, his reputation would still resound throughout the Rolling Mill.
Mentioning Chen Jianye would mean mentioning him, Yi Zhonghai.
Unfortunately, there was no chance.
