The switch in destiny would have been hyped up enough, but he didn’t care. Even if he became a fallen prince, Mo Wuji still didn’t take it to heart. What made him most lost and unwilling was that he was just a mortal, a mortal with only mortal roots.
On Earth, everyone was the same, even if he couldn’t cultivate, he could still defeat his opponents from other places. Here, not being able to cultivate meant never having another chance.
Even if he ironically didn’t have a spiritual root, he still wouldn’t give up without personally testing it. With this mood of suffering, Mo Wuji didn’t know when he fell asleep.
Mo Wuji was lured awake by the aroma of the meal and opened his eyes to find that it was already dawn. As soon as he sat up, he saw a large bowl of rice, a plate of pickles and half a cucumber on the worn out square table by the door.
“Young Master, you’re awake, wash up and come eat.” Without waiting for Mo Wuji to speak, Smokey, who had been paying attention to him, hurriedly called out in delight.
“You didn’t sleep last night?” Mo Wuji looked at Smokey’s pale face, as well as the dark circles under her eyes and tired eyes, he knew that Smokey hadn’t slept all night.
“I helped Auntie Lu to set up a stall last night, business was good yesterday.” Even though Smokey was tired, Mo Wuji could still feel Smokey’s elation.
Mo Wuji understood what kind of elation it was because business was good and Auntie Lu paid her more.
Stepping down from the wooden plank bed, Mo Wuji walked over to Smokey’s side, reached out and touched Smokey’s still somewhat messy hair, and did not speak for a long time.
He was sure that it wasn’t the first time that Smokey had gone out all night like this to set up stalls to earn money to support him, she was used to it. That idiot Mo Xinghe was simply a pig, relying on a teenage girl to support him not to mention that he still dreamed of being a county king every day. After Smokey came back from doing her work, she still had to use her hard earned money to buy sweets to play court games with him.
“Young master, you didn’t eat much yesterday, hurry up and go wash for dinner.” Smokey felt that the young master had really changed a lot after waking up this time, which made her feel elated.
“You eat first, I’ll go wash it right away.” A kind of pity and touch rose in Mo Wuji’s heart, in his two lives, no one had ever treated him like this before. In his previous life, his lover was indifferent because of her character, so although she was kind to him, she did not have this kind of touch, and ended up backstabbing him.
Smokey hurriedly said, “I just ate, young master you ……”
Smokey’s words didn’t continue, he saw the young master walk to the side of her wooden plank bed, slowly bend down, and pick up a dark steamed bun from the side of the pillow that had been gnawed on for a small amount of time.
Mo Wuji didn’t say anything, he squeezed the pitch black hard steamed bun, his heart was clogged. Just now when Smokey said that she had eaten, he saw the crumbs of the steamed bun by the corner of Smokey’s mouth.
He slowly brought the steamed bun under his nose, and a faint rancid odour came from it. This blackened steamed bun that gave off a rancid odour was in stark contrast to the large bowl of white rice. No wonder this girl still had yellow hair when she was growing her body.
Perhaps it was the rancid odour that stimulated Mo Wuji’s nose, his nose was a little sour and his eyes were a little watery.
“Young Master, you can’t eat …… then,” Smokey thought Mo Wuji was going to eat the black steamed buns and hurriedly called out.
Mo Wuji gently grabbed Smokey’s hands which were even rougher than his and slowly said, “Smokey, in the future, as long as there is a bite of food from big brother, you won’t starve. From today onwards, don’t go out to set up stalls overnight, remember big brother’s words, from now on there is big brother to feed you.”
This gift of a meal was something that Mo Wuji would never forget.
“Young Master ……” Smokey called out in fear, she was a little worried about what was wrong with her young master today.
Mo Wuji didn’t dare to say any more as he patted Smokey’s hand and walked outside to wipe away the dampness from the corners of his eyes as he hurriedly washed up.
……
After having breakfast, Mo Wuji walked out of his residence. Even though he forced Smokey to share breakfast with him and also forced Smokey to go to bed before he came out, Mo Wuji did not feel good in his heart. He had to find a job as soon as possible so that Smokey could have an easier life.
……
In the entire Cheng Yu Lords Kingdom, Rao Zhou City was the largest and most prosperous one. Walking on the bustling streets, Mo Wuji could feel that the pace of life in Rao Zhou City would not be slower than the metropolises on Earth.
Rao Zhou Guild, this was where Mo Wuji would come to find a job. Whether it was looking for a job or hiring a labourer here, everyone would choose Rao Zhou Guild.
Walking into the guild, Mo Wuji could see numerous recruitment windows. Some of them were places where some big workshops were recruiting labour on a long term basis, while others were temporary recruiting places. On top of that, there were also many recruitment posters, as well as all sorts of information seeking employment. Relative to Earth, this place was a multi-functional talent market.
The guild was simply too big, and with over a thousand people milling around in it, it still felt very empty.
After Mo Wuji had wandered around slightly for half a circle, he could see that there were two types of people who were the most sought after within the guild. Those who planted medicinal herbs, and there was also one who explored for minerals.
Mo Wuji shook his head, it was no wonder that even though this place was considered a technological world, there were still no various advanced home appliances up until now. Dare I say that electronic technology talents were not valued here, as could be seen from the hiring remuneration. A technician specialising in machinery was paid one third of the remuneration for planting medicinal herbs, and one fifth of the remuneration for exploring minerals.
Mo Wuji didn’t care about this, on Earth he was an expert in biology and proficient in botany. Trying to find a job here would be incredibly easy for him.
After a brief comparison, Mo Wuji quickly realised that there were many jobs that were suitable for him.
Rao Du Medicine Plantation, recruiting a medicinal herb grafter, the reward was thirty silver coins per month. Recruiting a number of medicine garden hard workers with a remuneration of ten silver coins per month, requiring proficiency in medicinal herbs, with experience preferred. The Copper Mountain Mining Workshop is looking for a prospector and a mineral decomposer, both paid 50 silver coins per month.
As a top biologist, Mo Wuji thought that he was perfectly capable of applying for the job of mineral decomposer. Now that he was looking for a job, he wasn’t looking to see if the job was suitable for him or if this workshop was good or bad. To him, the highest paid was the best. Because of these jobs, he wouldn’t be doing them for a long time.
It was the Mineral Disintegrator, Mo Wuji walked towards the Copper Mountain Mining Workshop. Just as he was about to stand behind the queue to apply for the job, a new sign was suddenly put up at a window next to the Copper Mountain Mining Workshop, “Cheng Ling Extreme Pill Workshop, urgently recruiting for several Assistant Pill Refining Masters, with a remuneration of ten gold coins per month ……”
Mo Wuji stopped in his tracks at once, he knew that the common currencies here were gold coins, silver coins and copper coins. A gold coin could be exchanged for a hundred silver coins and ten thousand copper coins. Ten gold coins a month was a good reward for a job that was dozens of streets away from other types of work. If he didn’t go for this kind of good work, it would be a disgrace to him as a first-class biologist.
Isn’t refining medicine just pharmaceuticals? On Earth, because of the increased resistance to viruses, western medicines were gradually given up by the rich, instead all kinds of Chinese medicines, or plant extracted medicinal solutions were more favoured. As a top biologist and pharmaceutical expert, he didn’t know how many companies he had made finished medicinal herbs for. He appeared as a mentor every time he made a move, and which time he wasn’t paid millions of dollars?
Mo Wuji was close to the water, and just after the recruitment notice of Cheng Ling Extreme Dan Workshop had been put up, he took the opportunity to take a seat in front of the recruitment window of Cheng Ling Extreme Dan Workshop, while wearing a smile on his face, and trying to give himself a bit more of an aura, he said, “I’m going to apply for a job in your company …… er, in your workshop. ”
The person recruiting for the Chengling Extreme Dan Workshop was a middle-aged woman who looked very smart and capable. When she saw Mo Wuji sitting in front of the window like this and not taking out anything, she asked with slight confusion, “May I ask which job type of our workshop you are applying for?”
“I’ll apply for the Pill Refining Assistant Master …… that your workshop has just put up.”
Before Mo Wuji could even finish his sentence, he sensed that something was wrong because after he spoke these words, there was a noticeable silence around him. At this moment, it seemed like all eyes were focussed on him.
That middle-aged woman also looked at Mo Wuji with a shocked expression on her face, and only after a while did she wake up and asked in a respectful tone, “Please show the original Pill Refining Assistant Master qualification certificate ……”
