After entering the door, Xie Luan saw the environment inside more clearly.
The area of this nursing association looks very large, but it is very empty. There are only a few main buildings, and other open spaces seem to be idle.
Most of the iron gates at the entrance were rusted and they were not replaced, and there was no guard near the gate. The flower beds and lawns by the road seemed to be unpruned for a long time... Xie Luan walked towards the place that should be the office building, the more The closer he got, the more worried he became.
It's not that he said it, the cub care association is not very good looking at the economic situation. Even if the correct way to save the world really made him come here as a childcare worker, how could Xie Luan feel that this place has a sense of crisis that it will close down at any time
No matter, apply first.
Shaking the messy thoughts out of his head, Xie Luan stood in front of a wooden door with an office sign, raised his right hand and knocked twice.
"Knock knock."
After the crisp knock on the door, it took about three or four seconds before a hesitant response came from the office, "Please come in."
So Xie Luan twisted the door handle and walked in.
Humanity…
Seeing the human youth walking in, the girl who was sitting at the desk and counting this month's income and expenditure was obviously stunned, but she quickly reacted, stood up and asked politely: "Hello sir, may I ask if you are here... ?"
The young girl who asked the question was pretty good-looking, with two small tentacles on her head. She would occasionally shake slightly when she spoke, and her eyes were clearly vertical pupils.
Although Xie Luan also saw many non-human races on the way he was brought here by the golden light ball, but for Xie Luan to have a close contact and dialogue with alien races, it was still a too novel experience for him. At this time, the mood was a little more ups and downs.
Aside from being forced to cross this point, from the perspective of an art creator, Xie Luan actually thinks this experience is very interesting, and the novel experience can inspire him a lot.
"Apply." Xie Luan replied aloud, and at the same time he put the piece of paper that was peeled off from the iron door on the desk in front of him, "I saw this recruitment list posted on the door."
I didn't expect this answer at all, the tentacles on the girl's head suddenly trembled, her face full of surprise.
The recruitment list has been posted on the door for several months, and of course there are other places on the street, but in the past few months, no one has come to apply for the job at all. She and the president have actually given up on the recruitment. Hope too.
If the salary is high, of course, there is no worry about not being able to recruit people, but the problem is that their association has no money! The salary given is 1,800 credits per month, and as for extra benefits, such as year-end bonuses... none of them. The only thing that counts as a good one is probably the only package of food and accommodation.
The average person can find other jobs without paying more than the salary. Besides, being a childcare worker is a very hard thing, and it is even more difficult to recruit new employees.
Now that someone is finally willing to apply for the job, Xia Qi is of course very happy, but the young man in front of him is a human... As far as she knows, there is probably no cub care association in the entire interstellar that has hired a human caregiver.
This is not a prejudice against the human race, but an objective reason.
Humans are very weak once they leave the special weapons and equipment, which is the consensus of almost all races other than humans in the entire interstellar space.
Even in the face of cubs of other races, for humans, this matter is already quite dangerous. So normally, the Nursing Association would not hire human nurses, and generally no human would think of the Cub Nursing Association as a nurse.
"I'll call the old president, please wait here for a while." After thinking for a moment, Xia Qi responded decisively. She is just an ordinary employee here, and the recruitment is not hers. Decide.
"Okay." Xie Luan nodded.
After the people left, Xie Luan raised his hand to poke at the golden ball of light floating beside him. This ball of light is invisible to others. Xie Luan had already made sure of this when he was walking on the road.
Before Xie Luan waited long, Xia Qi quickly brought an old grandfather with gray hair, who had the same tentacles as Xia Qi on the old man's head. This is the hallmark of the Sevilla race.
Except for the tentacles and vertical pupils, the appearance of the Sevillas can be said to be very similar to humans, and they are oriental in appearance, and even the naming style is similar - but in terms of physical functions, the two races are far behind .
"Listen to Xiaoqi, did you really think about it when you want to apply for a job as a childcare worker here?" The old president first glanced at the young human in front of him, and then said, "The specific salary is the amount written on the recruitment sheet. , no other perks."
The base of the Earth Federation is very far away from this planet. There are not many humans who will come all the way to Gaia. Generally, most of the humans who will come to this planet are businessmen. But since the young man in front of him is here to apply for a job as a childcare worker, it obviously does not meet this point.
Xie Luan nodded in response, and then added: "It's good to have room and board, I will work hard."
This sentence Xie Luan said is not against his heart. He was driven by ducks and put on the shelves to travel to this world. At present, he is penniless and so poor.
If this job does not include room and board, then Xie Luan feels that he is afraid that he will have to sleep on the street today.
When Xie Luan said this, it was like telling the two of him about his current situation in disguise. Sure enough, both of them quickly understood the meaning of his words, and their expressions suddenly became somewhat clear.
He probably knew the situation of the youth. Since the Nursing Association was really short of manpower, the old president didn't ask much about other things. After simply asking his name, he signed the contract to Xie Luan.
After Xie Luan signed the contract, the young girl who had been watching quietly beside her had a smile on her face, "Then we will be colleagues in the future, just call me Xiaoqi like the president. The staff dormitory is on the far left. That house, I will take you to find an vacant room to clean up, and you can live in it today."
"Well, thank you." Xie Luan frowned slightly and thanked sincerely.
Young people are good-looking, and when they bend their eyebrows, there is always a soft feeling that can reach people's hearts, and their thanks are especially sincere.
Before going to the staff dormitory, Xia Qi, together with the old president, led the young man to get acquainted with the work place first, and by the way, explained the usual work content to the other party. The daily work place of the childcare worker is next to the staff dormitory, so it happened to be on the way in the past.
The work place is right next to it, where the cubs that need to be looked after are located, and it is the largest building in the middle. There is a large courtyard in front of the house, which is also the place where the cubs usually play outdoors.
Although there are basically no decorations in the yard, only a few trees and flowers are planted, and there are a few rockeries next to it. It is far from chic, but it looks like someone is taking care of it.
It's not yet time for the event. Normally, you can't see the cubs in the courtyard, but when Xie Luan and his party just stepped into the courtyard, a scream full of fear came over, and at the same time, there was a There was a very hoarse growl.
The shouting was made by a childcare worker, who, like Xia Qi, was a Sevilla and an adult male. The other party's face was already frightened. At this time, he was running forward desperately. When he saw Xie Luan and others in the distance, he immediately shouted as if he saw a savior: "Save, save me!"
The one chasing behind the opponent was a huge non-human creature. The body looked cold and sturdy, and the forearm that seemed to be sharper than a sharp knife obviously had a strong attack power. The spikes shot from the opponent penetrated deeply into the ground, and there is no doubt that once hit, these spikes can easily pierce the body of the prey.
The scarlet vertical pupil is very fierce, and there is no emotion at all. This terrifying and dangerous creature pursues the fleeing person with extremely fast movement speed. Just like treating the opponent as a prey that needs to be torn into pieces, the vertical pupil locked on the opponent shrunk into a thin line.
Regardless of whether it will affect others or not, after seeing a few people entering the courtyard, the fleeing people immediately ran towards them.
"Oops, this cub is..." Even though she had been a nursery for almost five years, this scene still made Xia Qi panic.
This is the cub of the Muka clan - due to their relative lack of intelligence, they basically understand nothing but fighting, and cannot advance to humanoid form. The Muka clan is considered a lower race in the interstellar space.
But this race does have strong fighting power and survivability. They are sufficiently cold and sharp weapons themselves, and they are extremely ferocious in battle. If it is purely melee combat ability, I am afraid that no race in the entire interstellar can compare to the Muka tribe.
And even if it's just a cub, a muka cub has quite the fighting ability.
Cub? Although it was out of time, Xie Luan couldn't help but twitched the corner of his eyes slightly at this moment.
Is it a cub, so big?
But soon, Xie Luan didn't have time to complain in his heart.
"Run!" Xia Qi's face changed when she found that her colleague was running towards them with the furious Muka cub.
The muka cub is now six months old. For the past six months, the other party has been relatively stable. Xia Qi did not understand why the muka cub suddenly showed aggression.
But they can't cope with this situation, and now they can only run first, and they can only consider approaching when the muka cub calms down a little. If you face it right now, something will happen.
As a Severa, Xia Qi only knew that human beings would not have much combat power after being separated from weapons and equipment, but did not expect that the ability to escape would be basically zero.
In fact, Xie Luan has already taken out the 100-meter sprint speed that he has not used for many years and is running with the opponent. As a normal human, this speed is already the limit of his efforts. It's just that it is slow compared to the alien race whose physical fitness is like a hang-up.
He quickly landed at the end, and he could hear the low roar coming from behind as if getting closer and closer, a little sweat appeared on Xie Luan's forehead, and his heart was pounding under his chest. Not entirely because of the dangerous situation, but also because of strenuous exercise.
Originally, he couldn't run, but after a while, a wind blew by, Xie Luan accidentally tripped on the ground by the obstacle covered by the grass, and groaned in pain.
In the next second, the Muka cub, who had already caught up from behind, rushed over and completely trapped him.
Although the target he was chasing at the beginning was not the young man, after catching up with the young man who was left behind and tripped, the provoked Muka cub jumped over without hesitation.
Being stuck on the ground by the sharp and sharp forearm like a blade, Xie Luan met a pair of ferocious and cold scarlet vertical pupils. At the moment when their eyes met, Xie Luan heard that from the appearance, it was easy to be heartbroken. The terrified creature roared menacingly at him.
Xie Luan: "..." She has passed away.
Seeing that the neck and head of the young man who were stuck on the ground were about to be separated in minutes, everyone who came back to see this scene had their hearts hanging in their throats.
No, is it just after signing the contract, this new colleague will be gone—? !
Anxious but with no way to save people, Xia Qi didn't dare to act rashly when she looked at the young man whose neck was stuck by the Muka cub. Now she can only try her best to show the Muka cub that she has no ill will, and try her best to convey the message of not hurting people.
But her actions didn't seem to have any effect. The muka cub remained unmoved, still roaring threateningly from its throat, and its vertical pupils tightened. Especially when seeing a certain figure cowering at the back, the aggression of this Muka cub became more obvious.
Possibly aware of this, Xia Qi had no choice but to grit her teeth and prepare to forcibly save people, but just as she took a step forward, she heard the voice of the youth.
"do not come."
After swallowing several times in the throat, Xie Luan successfully slowed down the thud in his chest, and at the same time calmed down the shortness of breath that had just been caused by the strenuous running, and then he said, "You guys stay away..."
Xie Luan said this for no reason. He had already observed that the Muka cub's hostility was actually more aimed at the nurse who was huddled behind. And in the case that he has already pounced on him, other people approaching will only further anger each other.
Since the other party didn't immediately separate his neck and head after he grabbed him, and calmed down, Xie Luan thought that there was still a lot of room for improvement.
When everyone backed away, Xie Luan took the initiative to meet the pair of scarlet vertical pupils staring at him, earnestly facing this dangerous creature that looked quite terrifying in appearance.
This isn't a showdown. Under the stare of those scarlet eyes, Xie Luan raised his right hand, which was still free, and carefully touched the sharp object stuck beside his neck in the other's line of sight, and touched it lightly, " good… "
It's more coaxing than soothing. When doing this series of actions, Xie Luan never looked away from the Muka cub.
When being coaxed so lightly by the youth, this dangerous creature seemed to stop all movements for a moment, and the constricted pupils in the scarlet eyes seemed to relax slightly, but it still looked fierce.
"Good baby." With a soft tone, Xie Luan continued to coax softly. His subordinates felt cold to the touch, and the sharp forearm that he touched was like a real sharp knife. It was very dangerous to the naked eye, but Xie Luan was not afraid of contact and did not stop to comfort him.
Dangerous or not, this is a cub.
Still only a six-month-old cub, of course unable to understand language. But even if you can't understand the language, you can have a vague concept when you're treated gently.
It was the first time that he was coaxed like this. Whether it was the youth's voice or movements, there was a warm feeling, which made the Muka cub who threw the youth on the ground gradually restrain his aggression.
Not knowing what "baby is good" means, and hearing these three syllables for the first time, the muka cub instinctively responded with a sound from his throat.
It's still a hoarse voice, but it doesn't express a threat, it's just a simple response.
Moving the sharp forearm away from the youth's neck, but not too far, the muka cub stared motionless at the youth's right hand.
Because its body is cold, the body temperature of the young man's palms is extraordinarily warm. This muka cub actually likes this kind of temperature that he has only felt sporadically in his memory since birth.
The sharp object sticking to the side of the neck was finally removed, and Xie Luan's body, which was a little stiff at first, was now completely relaxed.
I can't tell the reason, but since he started to coax this cub just now, Xie Luan has basically no feeling of fear in his heart. But now being stared at, Xie Luan, who had already lit up the cub coaxing skills without a teacher, understood it almost instantly, and he naturally raised his hand and touched the Muka cub.
Just touching it, Xie Luan felt a little short of breath, "cough..."
To be fair, the large cub that threw himself on him was really heavy—
At this time, without waiting for Xie Luan to speak again, the large cub who was heavily pressing on the young man seemed to understand something. While continuing to stare at the young man with vertical pupils, he slowly moved his body away.
They have already entered a state of battle, and this Muka cub is willing to take the initiative to let go of the prey it has caught... Seeing the change of things clearly, the three people who were pinching and sweating for Xie Luan in the distance are now stunned in place.
And looking at the next development, they were really dumbfounded.
After standing up from the grass, Xie Luan didn't make any escape action, just stood there, put his hand into his clothes pocket and groped. He remembered having a milk candy in his pocket.
It is also a personal quirk. Xie Luan feels that when he is painting, he is more inspired by eating sweets, so he always has a few candies on his body.
After peeling off the candy wrapper, Xie Luan did not put the candy into his mouth, but stood on tiptoe and raised his hand to feed the milk candy to the large cub in front of him.
After coaxing people, you must give some practical action. Even though he was coaxing a cub of a non-human race, Xie Luan felt that this principle was general.
"This is the only property I have in my body." Seeing the sharp teeth that had a strong bite at first glance, Xie Luan fed the candy in his hand into the mouth of the Muka cub in front of him. Also made fun of himself.
Xie Luan didn't lie. He really couldn't bring anything else on his body besides this milk candy. This toffee is at most the size of a finger. Take it out to coax the cub. Xie Luan is actually embarrassed.
It seems a little too stingy...
A toffee is too small for this muka cub to fit in his mouth even between his teeth. Originally wanted to swallow it directly, but a hint of sweetness permeated it, and it was reluctant to swallow it.
"Like it?" Xie Luan smiled a little when he looked at the Muka cub who no longer showed obvious aggression and even seemed a little quiet.
Could this be the first time this cub has eaten candy? Xie Luan couldn't help thinking about the economic situation of the nursing association he had observed since he walked into the door.
Hearing the voice of the young man, Muka Cub, who had been feeling the sweetness attentively, quickly followed his gaze again.
What is good and what is not good-looking, the inferior races lacking intelligence have no corresponding concept in this regard.
But at this time, the soft smile on the young man's face and the brilliance in his eyes, reflected in the scarlet vertical pupils of this Muka cub, there was a sparkling feeling, very beautiful, attracting it to approach.
And this large cub did exactly that. I don't know how to rub against the young man, but finally it lowered its head and arched gently into the young man's arms.
The warm body temperature on the young man is like the residual temperature left on the egg shell when it was just born, and this temperature gives this muka cub a sense of security. So when it arched into the youth's arms, it made a low noise.
The dangerous creature that was ferocious and brutal just now lowered its head to show closeness to the youth, like a well-behaved baby who obeyed the parents. Although the appearance still looked dangerous and terrifying, the Muka cub who stayed by the youth seemed to have a kind of docility. Feel.
God knows how the word "docile" can be linked to the cubs of the Muka clan. The three people in the distance have been stunned for a while, and they are still doubting their own eyes.
Even if he wins the S-rank qualification assessment and is rushing for the gold medal nursery by the cub care associations of various planets, it may be difficult to make a Muka cub who has entered a fighting state to be so obedient, at most. Forcibly subdued.
But the Muka cub in front of them is now actively lowering its head and rubbing against the young man!
I don't know how incredible he has done in the eyes of others. As a human being who fights five scumbags, Xie Luan was gently arched by the large cub in front of him... he sat down on the ground with a plop.
Hiss... butt hurts!
Xie Luan grinned in pain, but he restrained himself from making a sound, and only reached out and touched the Muka cub who seemed to want to hug him.
When arching into his arms, the large cub who looked like a dangerous creature in front of him acted very cautiously, retracting his sharp forearm back, and did not dare to use too much force to arch...
Although he felt that the script he took was not right at first, Xie Luan thought that he did not dislike this script.
