It was early summer in early June, and the streets of Doral City were already showing uncontrollable heat under the bright sunshine.
Lucian lowered his head to look at the resume in his hand. A drop of sweat slipped from his forehead to his chin, and then fell directly on the resume. It hit the words "Philip Academy" and soaked the font into a blur.
After staring at the lines on his resume for a while, Lucian couldn't help but smile bitterly.
In order to allow him to study at Philip College, his parents almost spent all the family's savings in the past ten years.
After that, in order to pay for his annual tuition of more than fifty gold coins at Philip Academy, as well as the equally high living expenses and other miscellaneous expenses, his parents worked tirelessly from dawn to dusk every day.
All he did was hope that he could find a good job after graduating from Philip College.
But now, because he was about to graduate from Philip College, he went to Doral City alone to find a job, looking for a way out after graduation, but found that he could not find a job that satisfied him at all.
It’s not that you can’t find a job.
Almost every graduate like Lucian who graduated from a magic industrial college such as Philip Academy is a hot commodity. After he handed his resume around in the past three days, he immediately received warm invitations from more than a dozen chambers of commerce. .
However, Lucian was not satisfied with the jobs provided by these chambers of commerce, because almost all of these jobs were directly in factories and were responsible for work related to the layout of magic circles.
In Lucian's view, this kind of work could be done by any magician with a certain ability to control magic, and it would not reflect his specialness at all.
Lu Xian's most ideal job is, of course, to enter the Magic Research Institute of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. Like those distinguished researchers, he studies the most cutting-edge magic technology and comes into contact with the most advanced magic machinery every day.
Only in this way can he be worthy of his five years of study at Philip Academy.
Of course, Lucian also knew very well that the Magic Research Institute of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was the most advanced magic research organization on the Sainz continent. At his current level, it's far from enough.
But if you can’t join the Magic Research Institute of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, you must at least join the research institutes of several other large chambers of commerce, right
So Lucian started spreading his resume everywhere these days, and found that this method didn't work. So he focused his attention on those famous large chambers of commerce and applied specifically for jobs at these large chambers of commerce.
However, even if these large chambers of commerce have vacancies at the Magic Academy and need to recruit, their requirements are very high and they simply look down on students like Lucian who have just graduated from the academy.
Besides, Lucian was not a top student who graduated from a top college like Xinfei College, so naturally he would not be taken seriously. So he got nothing at all these days.
"If you can't find a job again, this time it will be in vain."
Lucian sighed, reached into his pocket, and found that there were only two pitiful gold coins and a dozen silver coins left in it.
The money might last for a while in the small mountain village in his hometown, but in Doral City, the capital of the southern province of the empire and known as the most prosperous city in the southern province of the empire, it would definitely not last a few days.
"Two days! If I can't find a suitable job within two days, I will accept even the most boring jobs on the assembly line in the factory!" Lucian gritted his teeth secretly and made up his mind.
If possible, he would really like to express calmly that he can't find it if he can't find it. At worst, he could go back to Phillips Academy to continue his studies.
Anyway, his grades in the college have always been good. His tutor once told him that as long as he is willing to study for a few more years and get the advanced certificate of completion from Philip College, he can choose any graduate school of a major chamber of commerce after graduation, and even It is not impossible for Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's Magic Research Institute to do so.
But reality prevented Lucian from making this choice.
The reason is simple, no money.
The tuition and living expenses for Philip Academy's advanced courses are higher than those for ordinary courses. It is already very difficult for Lucian's family to provide for him to complete the ordinary courses alone. Of course, they cannot afford to continue his studies.
What's more, Lucian's younger brother has turned ten this year, which is also the age when he should enter the junior college to learn those basic courses. It also costs money.
If Lucian goes out to work now, he can not only save a lot of money on his own tuition, but also earn more money to help his younger brother go to school, which will also reduce the burden on his parents. No matter how you look at it, it's a much better choice.
In addition, although his parents didn't mean that, Lucian himself actually hoped that his twelve-year-old sister could also enter the academy to study, instead of being like those ordinary rural girls who just find someone to marry when they reach a certain age, and then live in peace. spend this life.
These things cost money, so Lucian was unable to continue his studies. I can only find a job right after I graduate this year.
Although the work of drawing magic circles on the assembly line in the factory is boring, the income is still much higher than that of ordinary workers.
For example, Lucian's parents are currently working as the simplest ordinary workers in a household magic machinery factory in a small town near their hometown. They can only get about ten gold coins per month, and no more than fifteen gold coins at most.
The five magic technicians in that factory who are responsible for drawing magic circles can get a minimum salary of thirty gold coins per month, and other benefits are also much better.
Lucian's current idea is that if he can't find a suitable job in the last two days, he can simply go back to Philip Academy to complete his final graduation and then apply for a job in that factory.
His parents had told the boss of the factory about his situation before. The boss was very interested in Lucian and immediately offered him a starting salary of twenty-five gold coins a month. As long as Lucian agreed, he could go to work at any time.
But... is this really the decision
Lucian raised his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the bright sun in the sky, feeling a trace of unwillingness in his heart.
He studied extremely hard every day at Philip College, not even daring to waste a single moment of time. He even cruelly rejected the confessions of two female classmates. Could it be that he wanted to return to the small town in his hometown after graduation? For a lifetime
"I can not be reconciled!"
Lucian clenched his fists hard and took a deep breath.
Although he only had two days left for himself, he would never give up so easily.
He is already luckier than many people and has enlightened parents who are willing to endure hardships to support him through college. So why can't he be a little luckier now and find a satisfying job in the last two days
As long as you perform better when applying for the job and fully demonstrate your excellence in the college, there will definitely be a chamber of commerce that will appreciate you!
Lucian took a deep breath, cleared all the frustration and loss from his mind, regained his spirits, lowered his head, and prepared to move on.
However, as soon as he lowered his head, he suddenly saw a group of figures in front of him, approaching him.
Caught off guard, Lucian had no time to dodge, so he could only turn as far as possible.
"boom-"
Their shoulders collided hard, and the man staggered two steps before regaining his balance.
Lucian took a closer look and found that the person who suddenly bumped into him was a small middle-aged man. It seemed that he was hit hard by him and he couldn't stand up for a long time.
Just as he was about to apologize, the man turned his head and glared at Lucian viciously.
"Boy, do you have eyes? How do you walk?"
Lucian thought he had made a mistake by walking with his head raised just now. Hearing this, he could only smile apologetically and did not refute.
The man glanced at Lucian up and down, as if he felt that Lucian was taller and stronger than him, so he snorted again, turned around and walked away.
Lucian smiled helplessly, thinking that his luck today was really not that good.
At this moment, his stomach made a soft sound.
But this is because he didn't even eat breakfast today. He was busy applying for jobs at various Canadian chambers of commerce all morning, and now he is extremely hungry.
Lucian rubbed his belly, looked around, chose a noodle shop on the corner that looked clean, but was obviously not high quality, and walked in.
"Three days ago, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Magic Research Institute announced that they had made a major breakthrough in the research and development of the magic signal transmission mode. According to the situation announced by Dean Evita, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is very likely to truly break through the magic signal transmission If this is achieved, the entire magic signal network on the mainland will enter a new stage. Leaders of many countries and chambers of commerce have expressed this.
As soon as he entered the noodle shop, the sound coming from a small household magic illusion projector placed on the wall attracted Lucian's attention.
Looking at the beautiful figure of Evita, the director of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Magic Academy in the illusion, which Lu Xian admired in his heart, Lu Xian felt a strong joy in his heart.
God be upon you! Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Magic Research Institute is actually going to realize unlimited distance transmission of magic signals!
If this is true, it will have an extremely significant impact on the magic industry on the entire continent.
As mentioned in this news, this means that the entire magic signal network on the mainland will undergo earth-shaking changes and enter a new stage!
Lucian's main major at Philip Academy is magic signal transmission, and he has always been very concerned about this aspect of information.
He knew that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Magic Research Institute and many other countries and chambers of commerce had been studying this technology in recent years, but in the end it was the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that was the first to develop it.
Of course, this is no surprise.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has an extremely strong foundation in the magic industry and magic science theory research. It would be strange if they were not the first to research it.
Seeing Dean Evita in the illusion talking in front of a large number of reporters, with a gentle and noble temperament, Lu Xian secretly admired her.
"If one day, I can reach the status of Dean Evita, then I will be willing to die..." (~^~)
