Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 5: A Debt of Gratitude for a Meal
On Earth, everyone was the same. Even if he couldn't cultivate, he could still defeat his opponents in other ways. Here, not being able to cultivate meant he would never have another chance.
Even if he was sure he didn't have spiritual roots, he wouldn't give up without personally testing it. With this anxious feeling, Mo Wuji didn't know when he fell asleep.
Mo Wuji was awakened by the aroma of food, and when he opened his eyes, he found that it was already broad daylight. As soon as he sat up, he saw a large bowl of rice, a plate of pickles, and half a cucumber on the old square table by the door.
"Young master, you're awake. Wash up and come eat." Before Mo Wuji could speak, Yan'er, who had been watching him, hurriedly exclaimed with joy.
"Didn't you sleep last night?" Mo Wuji looked at Yan'er's pale face, her dark circles, and tired eyes, and knew that Yan'er hadn't slept all night.
"I helped Aunt Lu set up a stall last night, and business was very good yesterday." Although Yan'er was tired, Mo Wuji could still feel her joy.
Mo Wuji understood what this joy was because the business was good, and Aunt Lu gave her more in return.
Getting off the wooden bed, Mo Wuji walked to Yan'er's side, reached out and touched her still disheveled hair, and didn't speak for a long time.
He was sure that Yan'er's going out all night to set up a stall to earn money to support him wasn't the first time; she was already used to it. That idiot Mo Xinghe was simply a pig, relying on a teenage girl to support him and still dreaming of becoming a Prince every day. After Yan'er came back from work, he would use her hard-earned money to buy candy and play the court game with him.
"Young master, you didn't eat much yesterday, hurry up and wash up and eat." Yan'er felt that young master had really changed a lot since he woke up this time, which made her happy.
"You eat first, I'll go wash up right away." Mo Wuji felt a sense of pity and touch in his heart. In two lifetimes, no one had ever treated him like this. In his previous life, his lover was cold by nature, so although she was good to him, there was no such touch, and in the end, she even plotted against him.
Yan'er hurriedly said, "I just ate, young master you..."
Yan'er didn't continue, as she saw young master walk to the side of her wooden bed, slowly bent down, and picked up a half-eaten, pitch-black bun from beside the pillow.
Mo Wuji didn't speak. He pinched the pitch-black, hard bun, and his heart felt blocked. When Yan'er said she had eaten just now, he saw the bun crumbs at the corner of Yan'er's mouth.
He slowly brought the bun to his nose, and a faint sour smell came over. This blackened bun exuding a sour smell formed a sharp contrast with the large bowl of white rice. No wonder this girl, who was at the time when she was growing, still had yellowish hair.
Perhaps the sour smell stimulated Mo Wuji's nose, and his nose felt a little sore, and his eyes felt a little astringent.
"Young master, you can't eat that..." Yan'er thought Mo Wuji was going to eat the black bun, and hurriedly called out.
Mo Wuji gently grabbed Yan'er's hands, which were even rougher than his, and slowly said, "Yan'er, as long as your big brother has a bite to eat, he won't let you go hungry. From today onwards, don't go out all night to set up a stall anymore. Remember your big brother's words, from now on, your big brother will support you."
Mo Wuji would never forget this kindness of a meal.
"Young master..." Yan'er called out in fear, she was a little worried about what was wrong with young master today.
Mo Wuji didn't dare to say any more. He patted Yan'er's hand, walked outside, wiped away the dampness from the corners of his eyes, and hurriedly washed up.
…
After breakfast, Mo Wuji walked out of his residence. Although he forced Yan'er to share breakfast with him and forced Yan'er to go to bed to rest before he came out, Mo Wuji didn't feel good in his heart. He wanted to find a job as soon as possible so that Yan'er could live a more relaxed life.
…
In the entire Chengyu Territory, Raozhou City was the largest and most prosperous city. Walking on this bustling street, Mo Wuji could feel that the pace of life in Raozhou City was no slower than that of a metropolis on Earth.
Raozhou Guild, this was where Mo Wuji came to find a job. Whether you were looking for a job or hiring workers, everyone would choose the Raozhou Guild.
Walking into the guild, Mo Wuji could see many recruitment windows. Some were places where large workshops recruited workers for a long time, and some were places where temporary workers were recruited. In addition, there were many recruitment posters and various job postings. Compared to Earth, this was a multi-functional talent market.
The guild was really too big. Even with more than a thousand people wandering around in it, it still felt very empty.
Mo Wuji wandered around for half a circle and could see that two types of people were the most popular in the guild: those who planted medicinal herbs and those who prospected for minerals.
Mo Wuji shook his head. No wonder, although this was considered a technological world, there were still no various advanced home appliances. It turned out that they didn't value electronic technology talents, as could be seen from the recruitment compensation. The compensation for a technical worker specializing in machinery was one-third of the compensation for planting medicinal herbs and one-fifth of the compensation for prospecting for minerals.
Mo Wuji didn't care about this. On Earth, he was a biology expert and proficient in botany. Finding a job here was extremely easy for him.
After a simple comparison, Mo Wuji quickly found that there were many jobs that were suitable for him.
Raodu Plant Medicine Field was recruiting a medicinal herb grafting master, with a compensation of thirty silver coins per month. It was also recruiting several medicinal garden laborers, with a monthly compensation of ten silver coins. Those who were proficient in medicinal herbs and had experience would be given priority. Tongshan Mine was recruiting a prospector and a mineral decomposition specialist, with a compensation of fifty silver coins per month for each.
As a top biologist, Mo Wuji believed that he could completely apply for the mineral decomposition specialist. Now that he was looking for a job, he wasn't looking at whether the job was suitable for him, nor was he looking at whether the workshop was good or bad. For him, the job with the highest compensation was the best. Because he wouldn't do these jobs for a long time.
It would be the mineral decomposition specialist then. Mo Wuji walked towards Tongshan Mine. Just as he was about to stand behind the line to apply, a new sign suddenly appeared at a window next to Tongshan Mine, "Chengling Extreme Elixir Workshop, urgently recruiting several elixir refining assistants, compensation ten gold coins per month..."
Mo Wuji immediately stopped. He knew that the common currency here was gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins. One gold coin could be exchanged for one hundred silver coins or ten thousand copper coins. A monthly compensation of ten gold coins left other types of work dozens of blocks behind. It would be a shame to him as a first-class biologist not to take this kind of good job.
Wasn't elixir refining just making medicine? On Earth, because of increased virus resistance, Western medicine was gradually abandoned by the wealthy, and instead, various traditional Chinese medicines or plant-extracted medicinal liquids were more popular. As a top biologist and pharmaceutical expert, he didn't know how many finished medicines he had made for many companies. Every time he took action, he appeared as a guide, and each time he received millions in compensation.
Mo Wuji was in a favorable position. As soon as the Chengling Extreme Elixir Workshop's recruitment notice was posted, he took the opportunity to sit down in front of the Chengling Extreme Elixir Workshop's recruitment window, and at the same time, with a smile on his face, he tried his best to be more charismatic and said, "I want to apply for your company's... uh, your workshop's job."
The person in charge of recruitment at the Chengling Extreme Elixir Workshop was a middle-aged woman who looked very shrewd and capable. She saw Mo Wuji sitting in front of the window like this without taking out anything and asked with a slight doubt, "Which type of job do you want to apply for in our workshop?"
"I'm applying for the elixir refining assistant that your workshop just posted..."
Before Mo Wuji could finish speaking, he felt that something was wrong because after he said this, the surroundings became noticeably quiet. At this moment, all eyes seemed to be focused on him.
The middle-aged woman also looked at Mo Wuji with a shocked expression. After a long while, she woke up and asked in a respectful tone, "Please show me the original copy of your elixir refining assistant qualification certificate..."
