Chapter 2643 Immortal Realm Workers 11
Now I understand why the other fairies look down on such a small thing.

Even if it takes three to five days to complete three orders, or as little as one day, you can get two Bigu pills in return. Out of hundreds of people in the entire Ye Palace, only six fairies are willing to take on the job.

It's all about starting from different points. Just think about ordinary people; unless they're short of money, who would be willing to do the work of stringing beads for a penny?

Only one of the six people was in the same group, so the two of them had something in common. When they finished their work and were resting or waiting to start work, they would get together, take out their insoles from their pockets, and prick them one by one.

It was time for a break again. Xining carried a large package in both hands and huffed and puffed as she went to the transmission array to deliver the goods.

After shipping the orders, I took the new order and went to the market to buy flour for sizing. This time I bought ten pounds of flour, which was a bit tiring to carry. The seller said they would deliver for free if I bought fifty pounds or more.

Back home, I looked at the paper with the dimensions written on it, which was densely covered. I first tallied the dimensions and quantities, then started cutting, and finally applied the sizing.

There was just too much; half of it was already coated with sizing agent, and the entire courtyard was covered.

Xining looked on helplessly. Now that the scale of the operation had increased, she should consider renting a place outside to set up a processing plant, but what she lacked right now was money.

In the adjacent veranda, several fairies sat, some chatting and eating melon seeds, others reading books. When they looked over and saw her, they all smiled.

A fairy smiled and said, "Give me a fasting pill, and I'll help you dry these right away."

"Deal!" Xining threw the brush into the glue bucket and then took out her storage bag.

The moisture inside the insoles instantly turned into mist and rose up suddenly. The hundreds of insole blanks looked like hundreds of small steamers. After the white mist rose, it quickly dissipated.

Xi Ning picked up a pair of insoles and was surprised to find that they were actually completely dry. What's the principle behind this? It can't be like when she was the supreme god, able to control everything in the world at will, even nano-atoms, and even be able to peel open atomic nuclei.

After inquiring, it was discovered that the person possessed a water elemental root and specialized in water control.

"I entered the sect at the age of seven, established my foundation at the age of thirty, and reached the Golden Core stage in a hundred years. I was hailed as a rare genius. Later, I was recommended as the sect's Holy Maiden, and reached the Great Perfection stage in three hundred years, transcending the tribulation to become an immortal."

"When I got here, they told me that they could only control the water, not generate it. Even a light rain wouldn't work because the rain control department couldn't dry it. I could either go to the laundry department, or the washing department to wash dishes, or stay here."

"The washing area is very clean. From now on, I can go to the food service area to wash dishes. I'm so glad I came here. I heard that it has been replaced. The new dishwashing person is a water spirit root immortal who can control fire. He can not only wash dishes but also sterilize them at high temperatures."

After the fairy finished speaking, a slight melancholy appeared on her face, as if she were recalling the glory and brilliance she had before her ascension.

So the fairies started talking about how many scrolls there were now. The one chopping vegetables was a sword cultivator, but he'd been replaced because the newcomer not only had sword skills, but also the ability to control water, ice, and fire. Controlling water while chopping vegetables could wash them at the same time; controlling ice while slicing raw vegetables could chill them; and controlling fire while slicing vegetables could make them half-cooked or even fully cooked, all without fire or oil, making it healthier and more hygienic.

Xi Ning listened while busy with her work, her temples throbbing. What a terrifying world this was, with no limit to how turbulent it could get.

I used another fasting pill to dry the second batch, and it was getting dark.

Before going to sleep, I settled the previous accounts and distributed the insole blanks to the fairies who were willing to take on the job.

The fairies who received the fasting pills were very happy, and many placed several more orders. Moreover, seeing that they could make money, new people joined in.

No one can resist money, not even fairies.

Xining kept five orders for herself and distributed the rest.

Lying in bed, I secretly did the math. If the orders kept piling up, I might really have to rent a place. But for now, I'll just have to get by day by day, since it's really hard to find a place to rent. All the houses here are allocated by the government. Only officials of a certain rank can get a house. As for the shops on the commercial street, forget about them. They've been monopolized for a long time. Now, it's one person per position, and there's no room to squeeze in.

Building a house myself is impossible; there's nowhere to buy land here.

It's even more demanding than the human world; even with sky-high housing prices, there's still a chance to buy.

In the commercial world, there are also those who sell things. These are unemployed immortals who are almost starving to death. They use the things they have accumulated in the past to exchange for fasting pills and spirit stones to save their lives. Once they starve too much, they will lose their immortal bodies and be reduced to mortals.

Xi Ning felt it was somewhat like the future, where college students finally graduate and ascend to heaven, or exceptionally talented individuals arrive in the city, only to find that their talents are so limited that in a society where talent is as abundant as a carp crossing a river, they are not worth mentioning.

Either take off your long gown and do manual labor to survive, or go back to where you started.

Two months later, Xining had to hire more people. The palace staff willing to take on the work couldn't keep up with the orders. Now, each time the insoles were dried, it required five or six fasting pills.

Space and time are limited, but orders are piling up. The celestial realm currently lacks mechanization; everything relies either on magic or manual labor.

Xining soon announced that in addition to hiring pieceworkers for making shoe insoles, they were also offering high salaries to hire part-time workers with special abilities. The jobs required included cutting, starching, and carrying, with payment per order. Each order paid 1-3 Bigu pills, and a day's work paid 5-15 Bigu pills.

I felt ashamed even saying the word "high salary." One fasting pill is equivalent to ten yuan, and that's for an immortal who knows magic.

As for the 15 fasting pills, that's just something they wrote down. It's like a job posting: 3000-6000 yuan a month. Don't even look at 6000; you generally won't get that much. Getting 5000 is considered good pay. Just look at the lower end.

As soon as the news broke, people came looking for him.

Xi Ning looked at the other person with a suspicious and shocked gaze: "You're a body cultivator?"

She has a small and frail figure, her face looks like she's in her twenties, but her physique is like that of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old.

The other person actually nodded: "Yes, I'm very strong. I work as a tailor of undergarments in a clothing workshop. If possible, I can also help with transporting goods."

The celestial soldiers and generals distributed a large quantity of undergarments. The cutting was also done in large batches, with dozens of layers of fabric stacked together. In a modern factory, electric cutters would be used. But there were no electric machines here; everything was done by hand.

Watching the other person use a small, half-foot-long saw blade, layered on a foot-thick piece of linen, holding the fabric down with one hand and sawing back and forth along the drawn lines with the other, cutting it off in no time—far faster than cutting three or five pieces of fabric with scissors myself.

The other party then put all the stored fabric into a wooden box and carried it on one shoulder.

She became worried: "Put it down quickly, be careful not to strain your back."

"It's nothing!" The man, carrying a wooden crate taller than himself, said without batting an eye, "The places where we work now have far more goods than this. I once helped a mortal carry a mountain across. What was that man's name again? I think it was Yu Gong."

Xining...

Those body cultivators who can become immortals are all capable of moving mountains and filling seas, or even shattering planets with a single punch.

What a talent! He really is a talent!

I was truly impressed; I immediately decided to hire him. He'll come and help during his breaks, initially giving him five fasting pills a day, with more to be given once he's done his job.

As for drying the insoles, the rate has been increased from one insole at a time to five insoles a day, and the fairies doing the work have agreed. After all, water spirit roots are plentiful, and many people are willing to do it.
