Chapter 4: The Gratitude of a Meal

Before Mo Wuji could finish his words, he sensed something was amiss, for after he uttered this sentence, a distinct silence enveloped the surroundings. At that moment, it seemed as if all eyes were focused on him

Yan Er did not continue speaking; he saw the young master walk to her wooden bed, slowly bend down, and pick up a black steamed bun that had been nibbled on one side.

Upon entering the guild, Mo Wuji could see numerous recruitment windows. Some were places where large workshops were continuously hiring, while others were for temporary employment. In addition, there were many recruitment posters and various job-seeking information. Compared to Earth, this place is essentially a multifunctional talent market

... ...

"Young Master, you didn't eat much yesterday, hurry and wash up for dinner." Yan'er felt that the Young Master had truly undergone many changes after waking up this time, which brought her joy

"You eat first, I will wash up soon," a sense of pity and emotion rose in Mo Wuji's heart. In two lifetimes, no one had ever treated him this way. In his previous life, his lover was indifferent by nature, so although they were good to him, it lacked this kind of emotional impact, and in the end, they even plotted against him.

As a top biologist, Mo Wuji believes that he is fully qualified to apply for the position of mineral decomposer. Currently, he is looking for a job, not to assess whether the position suits him or whether the workshop is good or bad. For him, the highest remuneration is the best. This is because he does not intend to stay in any of these jobs for a long time

I am applying for the position of Apothecary Assistant recently posted by your workshop

Mo Wuji did not dare to continue speaking. He patted Yan'er on the hand, walked outside to wipe away the moisture from the corners of his eyes, and hurriedly washed up

Mo Wuji was indifferent to this; on Earth, he was an expert in biology and also well-versed in botany. Finding a job here was exceedingly easy for him

Mo Wuji remained silent, gripping the dark, hard steamed bun, feeling a sense of unease in his heart. Just a moment ago, when Yan'er mentioned having eaten, he had noticed the crumbs of the steamed bun at the corner of her mouth

Mo Wuji gently grasped the rougher hands of Yan'er than his own and slowly said, "Yan'er, from now on, as long as I have something to eat, you will not go hungry. Starting today, do not go out to set up a stall all night anymore. Remember my words, from now on, I will take care of you."

In the entire Lordship of Chengyu, Raozhou City is the largest and most prosperous city. Walking along the bustling streets, Mo Wuji can feel that the pace of life in Raozhou City is no slower than that of the major cities on Earth

After having breakfast, Mo Wuji stepped out of his residence. Although he had forced Yan'er to share breakfast with him and had insisted that she rest in bed before coming out, Mo Wuji did not feel well at heart. He needed to find a job as soon as possible so that Yan'er could have a more comfortable life.

"Young Master, you cannot eat..." Yan'er thought that Mo Wuji was going to eat the black steamed bun, and quickly exclaimed.

Even if he is certain that he lacks spiritual roots, he will not give up without personally testing it. With this anxious and uncertain mindset, Mo Wuji does not even know when he fell asleep.

The guild is indeed very large, with over 1,000 people wandering within it, yet it still gives a sense of spaciousness.

On Earth, everyone is the same; even if one cannot cultivate, they can still defeat their opponents in other ways. Here, the inability to cultivate means that there will never be another opportunity.

The middle-aged woman also looked at Mo Wuji in shock, and it took her a while to come to her senses. She then asked respectfully, "Please present the original certificate of the Alchemy Assistant qualification..."

The Raozhou Guild, this is the place where Mo Wuji intends to seek employment. Here, whether one is looking for a job or hiring workers, everyone chooses the Raozhou Guild

"Young Master..." Yan'er called out in fear, feeling somewhat concerned about what was troubling the Young Master today

Mo Wuji immediately stopped in his tracks, knowing that the common currency here consisted of 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 salary of ten gold coins was far superior to the wages of other professions, which were often several streets away. To pass up such a good job would truly be a disservice to him as a top-tier biologist

Perhaps it was that rancid smell that stimulated Mo Wuji's nose, causing it to feel somewhat sour, and his eye sockets to feel a bit dry

Mo Wuji turned around slightly and soon realized that there were two types of people who were most sought after in the guild. One was those who cultivated medicinal herbs, and the other was those who explored minerals

Mo Wuji was awakened by the aroma of rice. Upon opening his eyes, he realized that it was already bright outside. As he sat up, he saw a large bowl of rice on the old square table at the door, along with a plate of pickles and half a cucumber

Mo Wuji shook his head, no wonder that although this place can be considered a technological world, there are still no advanced household appliances. It seems that this place does not value electronic technology talents, as can be seen from the hiring remuneration. A technician specializing in machinery earns one-third of the remuneration for cultivating medicinal herbs and one-fifth of the remuneration for mineral exploration

Yan'er hurriedly said, "I just ate, young master you ... ... "

I helped Aunt Lu set up a street stall last night, and the business was quite good yesterday. Although Yan'er was very tired, Mo Wuji could still sense Yan'er's joy

The Rao Capital Herbal Medicine Farm is recruiting a herbal grafting specialist, with a monthly remuneration of 30 silver coins. Additionally, several positions for laborers in the herb garden are available, offering a monthly salary of 10 silver coins. Candidates must be proficient in herbal medicine, with preference given to those with experience. The Tongshan Mining Workshop is seeking one mineral exploration specialist and one mineral decomposition specialist, both offering a monthly salary of 50 silver coins

The person recruiting for the Chengling Extreme Dan Workshop is a middle-aged woman who appears to be quite shrewd and capable. Upon seeing Mo Wuji sitting by the window without taking out anything, she asked with a hint of confusion, "May I ask which position you are applying for in our workshop?"

"Did you not sleep last night?" Mo Wuji looked at Yan'er’s pale face, along with the dark circles under her eyes and her weary expression, and immediately knew that Yan'er had not slept at all throughout the night

This favor of a meal will be eternally remembered by Mo Wuji

He slowly brought the steamed bun to his nose, and a faint sour smell wafted up. The blackened bun, which emitted a rancid odor, stood in stark contrast to the large bowl of white rice. No wonder this girl, while still growing, has turned into a blonde.

Mo Wuji, taking advantage of the opportunity, sat down in front of the recruitment window of the Chengling Extreme Dan Workshop as soon as the recruitment notice was posted. With a smile on his face, he tried to project a commanding presence and said, "I would like to apply for a position at your esteemed company... uh, I mean, at your workshop."

Isn't alchemy just the same as pharmaceuticals? On Earth, due to the enhanced resistance of viruses, Western medicine has gradually been abandoned by the wealthy, while various traditional Chinese medicines and plant-extracted remedies have become more favored. As a top biologist and pharmaceutical expert, he has produced finished medicinal materials for countless companies. Each time he intervenes, he appears in the role of a mentor, and each occasion brings in a reward of at least one million.

He had become a mineral decomposer, and Mo Wuji headed towards the Copper Mountain Mine. Just as he was about to stand in line at the back to apply for a job, a new sign suddenly appeared at a window next to the Copper Mountain Mine, "Chengling Jidan Workshop, urgently recruiting several alchemical assistants, with a monthly salary of 10 gold coins..."

After a brief comparison, Mo Wuji quickly realized that there were many tasks suitable for him

Young Master, you are awake. After you wash up, let's have a meal. Without waiting for Mo Wuji to respond, the attentive Yan'er exclaimed joyfully.

He definitely relies on Yan'er to go out all night to set up a stall and earn a living for him; this is not the first time, and she has already gotten used to it. That idiot Mo Xinghe is simply like a pig, not only depending on a teenage girl to support him, but also dreaming of being a prince every day. After Yan'er finishes her work, she still has to spend her hard-earned money to buy candy to play court games with him

Mo Wuji understood what this joy was, as business was thriving and Aunt Lu had given her a generous reward

Stepping down from the wooden bed, Mo Wuji walked over to Yan'er, reaching out to touch her still somewhat disheveled hair, remaining silent for a long time

... ...

The transformation of fate has always been quite tragic, yet he remains indifferent. Even after becoming a fallen prince, Mo Wuji still does not take it to heart. What disappoints and frustrates him the most is that he is merely a mortal, a mortal with only mortal roots.
