Chapter 379: Looking for a Job and Master Qian (1)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Carrying half a jade statue on his back, Lin Yan walked along the riverbank. The villas around the seaside road were indeed luxurious.

However, less than 20 meters away from the villas, there was a dense and cramped building area that was full of tube-shaped buildings. It was dark, damp, and narrow.

Lin Yan followed the alley deeper and found a crooked locust tree. After confirming that there was no one around, he activated the Black Tortoise Divine Armor and sank along the ground.

Then, he let go of the jade statue and rose again.

Lin Yan memorized the surroundings and left the jade statue here for the time being before leaving.

He had originally imagined that he could always wear the Black Tortoise Divine Armor and hide in the prefecture capital.

However, hiding like this was equivalent to completely losing contact with society and becoming an invisible person in a world. In the long term, it would definitely affect his mind and rationality.

Humans were social animals to begin with. If they left society for too long, there would definitely be problems.

So for now, he still had to find a place for himself to live.

Along the way, Lin Yan stopped a pa.s.serby and asked where the brokerage was.

Unexpectedly, the pa.s.serby said that there was no brokerage in the dock area.

When he heard that Lin Yan wanted to find a place to stay, he looked at Lin Yan strangely and told him that in the middle of the main road, there was a Big Qian Hotel that he could stay in, but it was expensive. If he found it expensive, he could only go to the docks and submit his ident.i.ty card as a laborer. He could also have a place to stay.

Apart from these two, he could only rely on himself to find a place.

Lin Yan did not have an ident.i.ty card, so he went to the Big Qian Hotel first.

Lin Yan had seen this hotel when he came over. It was four stories tall and occupied a large area. The decoration was magnificent and gorgeous. It was extremely eye-catching in the entire dock area.

Lin Yan was about to go in and ask for the price when he was stopped by a uniformed security guard at the door.

Perhaps it was because Lin Yans expression was calm and he was not afraid, but the security guards att.i.tude was not bad. Brother, wait. You cant go in with disheveled clothes!

Lin Yan looked at his body. His clothes were indeed a little tattered, but he often used the Black Tortoise Divine Armor to control the water to wash them, so his clothes were not disheveled.

Brother, dont make things difficult for me. This Big Qian Hotel costs at least 30 Spirit Coins a day. As long as you can take them out, Ill let you in immediately!

Thirty Spirit Coins? Thirty ungraded Spirit Marrows?

This price was really not low. Was this the price of goods in the central city?

Lin Yan touched his pocket. The Spirit Marrows in his hand had all been absorbed by him previously, so he did not have a single Spirit Coin on him.

As for precious Unusual Items like the White Jade Fire Lotus and the Jade Crystal Yellow Pearl, they naturally could not be taken out directly.

The security guard politely gestured for him to enter.

Lin Yan could only turn around and leave helplessly.

A low voice came from behind. You almost scared me. If you dont have money, dont be pretentious!

Lin Yan sighed slightly. Otherwise, why would they say that a single cent would stump a hero?

Without money, he naturally could not stay in the hotel. As for the laborers, he did not have an ident.i.ty card, so he could not do it even if he wanted to. It was not easy to sell Black Grade Unusual Items for the time being.

Therefore, the first thing he had to do was find a job first where food and accommodation were provided?

Work was the fastest way to integrate into an unfamiliar place. Moreover, he had to think of a way to go to District A and get the Wind Thunder Fruit Tree from Marquis Qianning.

Therefore, it was necessary to find a temporary job first.

Without a brokerage shop, Lin Yan could only walk around and see if he could find some job opportunities.

This dock area was about the size of half a town in his previous life. It was actually not small, so there were many shops and residences along the way. However, there were very few people recruiting. Or rather, there were almost none.

Lin Yan asked a few merchants, but none of them were willing to hire workers. There were two catering shops, and it was obvious that they were extremely busy. They lacked a few waiters, but they hesitated and rejected him awkwardly.

There was another family. When they heard that he was here to look for a job, they actually hurriedly urged him to leave, as if recruiting him would bring them big trouble.

After walking for a long time, just as Lin Yan gave up and prepared to use the Black Tortoise Divine Armor to cheat

Lin Yan finally saw a recruitment advertis.e.m.e.nt outside a provision store. It was hiring a delivery man.

This grocery store was not big, but its location was not bad. It was on the main road facing the street, and there was a plaque of Liangs Grocery Store. There was a recruitment advertis.e.m.e.nt outside, and they were hiring delivery workers.

Lin Yan knocked on the door. The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man in his forties with a goatee. He had triangular eyes and a slightly mean appearance.

When he saw Lin Yan enter, he first scanned him from head to toe without looking up and greeting him.

Lin Yan said, Boss, are you hiring? Im here to apply.

Apply? The triangular-eyed middle-aged man was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Then, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he revealed a pa.s.sionate smile. Alright, alright. Application is good! Oh right, do you know how to drive a donkey cart?

Lin Yan had never driven a donkey cart before, but he still nodded and said, Yes.

Hows your expertise?

Lin Yan originally wanted to say that it was alright, but when he thought about how this was an interview, he immediately said firmly, My driving skills are very good! Ordinary people cant compare to me!

Alright, thats good. The shopkeeper nodded and said straightforwardly, 20 Spirit Coins a month. Two days of rest at the end of the month. If you agree, its settled now..
