Chapter 5, there are certain matters I am quite wary of
He subconsciously glanced at the surrounding eyes filled with admiration and even confusion, and finally gained some understanding. Clearing his throat, Mo Wuji continued nonchalantly, "I have not yet had the opportunity to participate in the assessment for the alchemical assistant, but I have already reached the level of an alchemical assistant."
He is the one from the Northern Qin County... The middle-aged woman who was recruiting suddenly understood, and the anger on her face vanished. Why would you be angry at someone who is not mentally sound?
Due to his own experiences and the experiences of his predecessor, he had no interest in associating with a woman like Wen Manzhu. Even if Wen Manzhu were exceptionally beautiful, he would not want to be involved with such a woman. He yearned for wealth, yet he would not resort to taking money from a woman like Wen Manzhu; he had his own way of living, and he possessed his own sense of pride
The recruiter's expression also darkened, and the cautious look on her face vanished without a trace. She did not lose her temper; instead, she calmly asked, "Which academy did you graduate from in the field of alchemy? Who was your mentor among the alchemical predecessors?"
The tone is laced with sarcasm and flippancy, lacking even a trace of the politeness he claims to express.
This time, it was Mo Wuji's turn to suffer from a toothache. He did not expect that applying for a job here would be the same as on Earth, requiring a diploma as a stepping stone. It seems that even if he were to apply for other jobs, it would be equally unfeasible without a diploma
Mo Wuji turned around and saw a young man in a gray casual outfit approaching. He recognized this man as one of the several young men and women who seemed to be walking with Wen Manzhu last night. He was fairly good-looking, but the man appeared somewhat ostentatious
A marquis in the entire Starry Han Empire is like a drop of water in the ocean, insignificant. However, within the guild of Raozhou, he undoubtedly holds the highest status.
Even if there are some alchemical assistants, they are all elderly individuals. A young alchemical assistant like Mo Wuji is rare not only in the Chengyu Lord's territory but also in the Xinghan Empire. Such young alchemical assistants possess immense potential and an unlimited future. It can be said that with a young alchemical assistant like Mo Wuji, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he is bound to become a true alchemist in a few decades.
Hahaha..." Mo Wuji finished speaking and laughed heartily, displaying a wild and unrestrained demeanor
Seeing the increasingly displeased expression on the face of the middle-aged woman conducting the interview, Mo Wuji could only smile awkwardly and said, "Well... I have also been self-studying at home, so I do not have any formal certificates yet, nor do I have a mentor"
Mo Wuji thought of Yan'er, who remained steadfast and loyal to him. How many girls like Yan'er are there? To encounter one in a lifetime is already a result of countless prayers and efforts. Having experienced this, Mo Wuji became even more aware of how precious it truly is
Mo Wuji's gaze swept across the room once more, and he finally noticed that many of the candidates seemed to be holding a small notebook in their hands. He saw that the candidate closest to him had a notebook that read, "Certificate of Completion from the Raozhou Mining Research Institute"
Upon hearing Mo Wuji's words, Wen Manzhu experienced a momentary flutter. Has there been a name change? Seeing that Mo Wuji was about to leave, she quickly reacted and called out, "Xinghe... Wuji, Yan'er is unwilling to accept it, you bring it to..."
Wen Manju did not pay any attention to Zhao Xu, but instead walked up to Mo Wuji, took out a cloth bag, and handed it to Mo Wuji, saying, "Xinghe, take this back to Yan'er."
Original certificate of the pharmaceutical assistant qualification? Mo Wuji felt a sinking sensation in his heart; he still needed this item, but where could he possibly find it?
In this lifetime, he Mo Wujie absolutely does not allow such things to happen again, absolutely does not allow it
"Manzhu..." Zhao Xu called out awkwardly, but he did not dare to continue speaking due to Wen Manzhu's unpleasant expression. He felt a bit regretful inside, as he had not noticed Wen Manzhu approaching earlier, and the good impression he had left in her eyes was ruined in an instant. He had previously commented on Mo Wuji in front of Wen Manzhu, stating that Mo Wuji's actions were understandable. However, a single sarcastic remark today exposed his true nature.
Although Raozhou is the capital of the Chengyu Lord's territory, there are not many alchemical assistants, and even fewer alchemists.
Mo Wuji stopped again, looking at Wen Manzhu and said, "Laughing heartily as I walk out the door, are we not alchemists? Even that position of assistant alchemist I am too lazy to take; if I am to do something, I shall be an alchemist."
He is not pretending to be bold; rather, he is genuinely moved. Compared to the woman who plotted against him, Wen Manzhu is countless times better. It is lamentable that he is so focused on his research in biopharmaceuticals that he is completely unaware of what the woman beside him is like
"Zhao Xu, do you find it amusing?" A cold voice emerged, and the laughter within the guild abruptly ceased, as if it had been silenced.
"Since it is for Yan'er, you should go and give it yourself." After saying this, Mo Wuji turned and left. After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned back again and said, "By the way, my name is Mo Wuji, not Mo Xinghe. The 'Wuji' in 'Bai Wu Jin Ji' refers to me, but of course, I am not without taboos; there are indeed some matters that I am quite cautious about."
If there is a glimmer of hope for Mo Wuji to become a prince, then there is not even the slightest hope for him to become an alchemist
The onlookers around laughed heartily, clearly believing that Mo Wuji was there to entertain.
The guild hall was once again filled with laughter, as it was evident that no one believed what Mo Wuji had said was true. More people thought that Mo Wuji had not recovered; rather, his madness had simply shifted from that of a prince to that of an alchemist
The recruiter from the Chengling Extreme Elixir Workshop did not smile, but instead wore a terrifyingly grim expression. The Chengling Extreme Elixir Workshop is one of the top alchemy workshops in the entire Chengyu Lordship, yet someone dared to come here and mock her
A young girl dressed in a purple skirt stood at the entrance of the guild. With her slender waist and long hair, her charming appearance made the entire guild pale in comparison. However, this was not the main point; the key detail was that most of the people present recognized this girl. She was Wen Manzhu, the only daughter of Lord Wen Ju, the Marquis of Rao Xian County in the Chengyu Principality.
Seeing the middle-aged woman with a grim expression, seemingly on the verge of an outburst, Mo Wuji thought to himself that it was not good. At that moment, a sudden voice interrupted Mo Wuji, who was about to speak, "Oh, isn't this our king? My king is here, why has my king personally come to the guild? Don't we have court in the woods outside the city today? Oh, right, my king is here to inspect this place. Look at me, how rude I am, I should quickly pay my respects to the king."
A sudden sound of toothache surrounded him, and Mo Wuji clearly felt that the gazes directed at him had taken on a different flavor
It is not surprising that the recruiter looked shocked, nor is it surprising that the people around were astonished upon hearing that Mo Wuji was applying for the position of alchemy assistant.
To Wen Manzhu, Mo Wuji harbored neither affection nor aversion. He did not feel an overwhelming anger towards her for abandoning the fallen and even mad Mo Xinghe. There are too many such people on Earth, too pragmatic. If the Mo family were to fall into decline and Mo Xinghe were to go mad, yet Wen Manzhu remained steadfast and loyal, that would indeed be a strange occurrence. In this world, there are many who can share in wealth and prosperity, but how many can endure hardship together
The jingling sound coming from the bag made Mo Wuji realize that it was the clinking of gold coins. For Mo Wuji, who was in urgent need of money, it was not just a matter of so many gold coins; even a single silver coin was something he desperately longed for
Yan'er is unwilling to accept it? Mo Wuji suddenly felt the urge to laugh heartily. This girl has a good temperament towards me, indeed, very good
"I heard that the Wen family's smelting workshop needs to hire people. If you are interested, you can go..." Wen Manzhu suddenly felt a deep-seated emotion. The person before her, Mo Xinghe, no, it was Mo Wuji, was no longer the disheartened prince who had been madly dreaming of becoming a duke. He had changed; the arrogance of a noble born from humble beginnings allowed her to clearly sense the transformation in him
Hahaha... this time, someone finally laughed out loud. It turns out that this alchemical assistant, who amazed everyone, is merely a boastful and humorous fellow
