When I called A Jin that night, Ji Huan mentioned to him that he was looking for a job.
"Oh? Running out of money left for you?" When Jihuan said that he was looking for a job, Ah Jin's first reaction was this.
Jihuan noticed that the color of the wallpaper behind him had changed again.
"No, I only took out five gold bars, and put the rest in the original bag and put them in your bedroom." Ji Huan explained, his expression looked as indifferent as ever, but A Jin probably knew it now : He's just not good at expressing himself.
"It's not enough to just go out and not come in. No matter how low-paying jobs are, I think it's more secure to have a job." Ji Huan slowly spoke his thoughts, while A Jin was listening there.
"Besides, Grandpa is old, like his age, he shouldn't have gone out to hunt..."
The boy's tone was a little heavy.
Ajin was silent.
He thought of the age of Callas... .
Then I thought about my age.
"Actually, your grandfather's age is not very old among monsters." He suggested very politely.
"But Grandpa has a grandson. I'm already an adult, Grandpa shouldn't have to work so hard." Ji Huan rejected his suggestion in one sentence.
Ajin: …
I finally understand why people in that world love having children so much.
They quickly talked about the things that need to be tested first in order to find a job. When Jihuan described the appearance of the old monster, A Jin suddenly interrupted him:
"Is that old guy still there?" Looking away, he seemed to remember something, the corners of his mouth slowly raised upwards, and he laughed: "Does he still stick out a finger now and then?"
"No, he has five fingers out now."
Ajin: …
"The person we tested with today gave him ten extra bone coins because of this..." He told A Jin about the oolong that happened during the test, and Ji Huan heard that A Jin laughed.
In the following time, Jihuan mentioned two known types of jobs: frontman of robbery gangs and anti-sacks. I don't know if these two jobs are good or not. Jihuan wanted to hear A Jin's advice.
It is rare to have a common topic. What Jihuan is talking about now obviously aroused Ajin's long-term memories, so he very nicely shared with Jihuan his experience of looking for a job as a past person.
"The best job you can get there should be to join an organization, and being a killer should be the highest paying job."
Jihuan: =-=… Well, it really isn’t the earth here.
"Secondly, robbery is also a good job. Although it is a little dangerous to be a striker, the money is fast. Although there is no basic salary, with the increase of experience, you can live well just by drawing achievements, and it can be regarded as a high-paying career."
"However, to do this job, you must buy insurance in advance, and you can buy it in a nearby town, which is the town where we took a taxi before."
Ji Huan silently wrote down this sentence, ready to remind him of Abu's words if he had the chance.
"... Although the salary of "cargo handling" is very low, it is very suitable for newcomers. If the weekly salary is 100 bone coins, it is the current market price. "A Jin immediately began to analyze the job of "anti-sacks", well, Ah Jin is indeed A Jin, the concise "anti-sacks" was modified by him to the word "cargo handling", and Jihuan silently remembered it again. Come down, it will be useful to write a new resume for Little Gray Devil in the future.
"I suggest you look for a job in cargo handling in the early days." After analyzing, A Jin gave his suggestion.
Ji Huan nodded, then shook his head again: "But... the result of my strength test is difficult to measure."
A Jin rarely showed a surprised expression:
"Oh? What a coincidence. My test results back then were also difficult to measure."
I carefully looked at the boy's body, the limbs were slender, although he looked thin and strong, but it didn't look like he was too strong to measure...
Then-
The boy's slightly indifferent face showed a relieved expression: "Really? Be a little more at ease, I thought I was the only one with too little strength to measure. After all, even the little gray devil's strength has 1.8 stone… "
Ajin: …
=-=
I always feel that it seems that the more I chat with the teenager, the more speechless I get.
With long eyelashes hanging down to cover her eyes, Ah Jin looked at the boy in front of her.
He dared to go out and look for a job less than half a year after he came here. He was bold enough, but—
Facing the gap in ability between himself and the monster, will he feel frustrated now
Must be frustrating, right
After all, the human beings in that world are very slender creatures that don’t require external force, and many times, they can be overwhelmed by spiritual things alone.
Will this young man in front of him finally be overwhelmed
Looking at the young man in front of him inquiringly, he heard the young man speak slowly:
"My strength is too small to measure, and my speed is not fast. It's only 2 per minute. I thought my eyesight was good. After all, there are 1,000. Unfortunately, other monsters have at least 10,000..."
"It's a little sad to think that I can't find a job."
"It's not that I'm sorry for my weakness, but I'm worried that I can't take care of Grandpa and Heidan."
"It's sad to think that I could be a liability to them."
Little by little, the boy told the dark-haired monster on the other end of the phone the psychological process he had never told anyone.
Then, he suddenly laughed:
His slender eyes suddenly turned to A Jin, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled into a somewhat stiff smile: "Fortunately, after listening to your words, A Jin, it is indeed right to read more, because you have a lot of literacy, and your computing ability is not bad. While working for you, Jin, I fully learned how to clean..."
"Finally, I found a job where I just needed to be able to write, understand calculations, and clean. 500 bone coins a month, including a lunch."
"Oh?" The black-haired monster was a little surprised.
However-
"Thank you, Ajin." The smile on the corner of his mouth gradually grew wider, and the young man sincerely thanked Ajin.
Ajin was stunned.
His eyes met the dark and deep slender eyes of the young man, and he shook his head for a while: "You don't need to thank me, I'm just talking and seeing, it's you who did it."
To be able to reach the level of being able to talk to the locals in such a short period of time, this kid really worked hard enough.
But it's not enough just to work hard, he's also very smart.
"Thinking about it carefully, although other abilities are not as good as the locals, my literacy ability is not bad. Maybe I should have tried hard in this direction." The boy continued to say.
Well, he's still sane.
Instead of wasting time on self-pity, and when he finds that his ability is insufficient, he will immediately turn his attention to the project that he is stronger than others, and then think about the way out in the future.
Really smart.
"Can you tell me what kind of job it is?" Ah Jin continued to ask politely: "Maybe I can give you some advice."
"It was provided to me by Adan. It is said that he wanted me to write a resume for the illiterate monsters who came to test and regulate the talent market. He provided a banknote printer, and I was responsible for designing the forms and filling in the data."
"Adan?" The brows of the black-haired monster wrinkled for a while, and after thinking for a long time, he finally failed to find the name in his memory.
"It's that old monster in the testing center. He said his name is Adan."
"Oh - I really don't know his name... yet." The chin raised slightly, and A Jin's expression was a little subtle.
From the time he was still there, he looked like a lot of old monsters. Although he looked inconspicuous and looked like an old monster waiting to die, he was actually the owner of the testing area and even the entire monster employment market. Owning a large area of land in Yefar District, this is Yefar’s veritable local snake—
But this is something that only a few monsters know about.
Lowering her eyes, Ah Jin thought of what happened in the testing area many years ago.
When he raised his head again after a long while, he asked Jihuan one thing:
"Can I do you a favor?"
"Ah? Please tell me." In the past, A Jin was always helping him, but now he was asked for help by A Jin. Ji Huan was a little surprised.
"Help me pay back 87 bone coins to that old monster... No, Mr. Adan, that's what I once owed him."
"Hmm... It's been too long. I didn't expect him to be alive. He's too alive." He covered his mouth with one hand, and A Jin seemed to be talking to himself.
Uh... It's as if I didn't hear this sentence... Ji Huan thought silently.
But it's good to have a job. Before, I relied on A Jin for help. Now that I have just found a job, I can do A Jin a little favor.
Although Ji Huan was expressionless, his mood suddenly became happy.
It's a solid feeling.
Immediately afterwards, Ajin provided Jihuan with some suggestions for newcomers to join the company on the first day. From the perspective of employers, Ajin and Jihuan shared some of the things that bosses like employees to do and the things that employees hate the most. With the character of the old monster, the two finally discussed a whole set of entry plans together, including: Jihuan's first day's clothes, items to bring, gifts for the boss Adan, and even cooking on the first day menu!
"It's fine if the staple food is Kommon, and the braised method is used. Braised braised is your unique method, and most monsters will like it." A Jin's suggestion has been detailed into the cooking method!
"But, will the Kom beast be very expensive?" Ji Huan asked cautiously.
"Trust me, your boss is very rich, you just need to confirm with him whether he likes to eat the Kom beast, but it's good to give him some bones occasionally, I believe he rarely eats it, he has forgotten The smell of that thing." Ajin said perseveringly.
Ji Huan memorized all his words.
In the end, Ji Huan took the initiative to cut off the phone.
"It's getting late, I'm going to cook." After looking at the time, Ji Huan realized that the call was a little too long.
"... Well, let's go." A Jin smiled slightly.
The teenager waved his hand, and then the screen of the mobile phone returned to the original screen.
Quietly staring at the phone screen for a while, Ah Jin threw the phone on the bed.
"Ah... Speaking of Kommon, I suddenly want to eat Kommon." After muttering to himself for a while, he immediately pressed the call bell.
