Sea Cultivation: Giant Ships and Heavy Artillery Knock on the Door to All Races

Chapter 97: Work-for-Relief, Beast Taming Training

There is no way, this is the basic rule of the Storm Ocean:

Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp!
The three major families naturally did not use these basic supplies for themselves. They did not lack these things at all. They would distribute these resources through their own means, otherwise these things would be worthless by next spring.

"The Li family is hiring! Dongning Island Wharf renovation, Li family land expansion, and Dongning Quarry Phase III development are urgently hiring Earth-attributed cultivators and martial arts masters for six months. The salaries are as follows..."

"The Mi family is hiring! Fengling Island is building 23 new resource points, which are being distributed in batches, with completion required in the fall. Fengling Island is also building a new port fortress, urgently recruiting formation masters and rune masters. The salaries are as follows..."

"The Le family is hiring! Jasmine Island's tea and orchard plantations are urgently seeking one hundred spiritual plant workers for six months. Jasmine Island is also urgently seeking a large number of mortal warriors for its new freshwater fishery. The salaries are as follows..."

Although the foundation-building family appears to be prosperous on the surface, it is actually not easy to increase the population of a family system like this.

Especially since the mortal population is severely restricted by the environment, the three major families also need cheap labor to help with the work, and now is obviously such a good time.

"This price is too damn low, and why is the current settlement ratio of spirit stones so low? Who wants these worthless spirit rice and spirit carbon from you? You are so shameless!"

"Go away, go play somewhere else. If you don't like it, don't get in the way. There are plenty of people who will do it if you don't."

The salary is too good and it is difficult to recruit people who really need jobs. Work-for-relief is not a good job to choose. Only those who are really struggling will choose to sign up.

"I'll go, I'll sign up!"

Monks have the dignity of monks. They are unwilling to fall to the status of mortals even if they have to work as cheap labor. It would be embarrassing if the "immortal master" in the eyes of others eats rice and fish like mortals.

"Lingbao Pavilion is hiring! We're looking for three assistants. We require hardworking people with a certain level of basic knowledge and practical skills..."

"Chun Xiang Lou is hiring! We're looking for five male prostitutes. They must be strong and have fair complexions..."

"Eternal Spring Pavilion is hiring! We're looking for two apprentices, no older than twelve years old, with basic knowledge of pharmacology..."

"The Black Hand Gang is recruiting thugs! No limit on the number or level of skill, but requires strong resistance to blows, and the ability to not cry out when hit..."

Below the three major families and above the low-level independent cultivators, there is another group. They have initially mastered some means of production and have some ability to make a living in the market.

During this difficult time, the pressure will naturally be distributed to them according to their weight, even if it means recruiting a group of mortals to dredge the sewers.

Anyway, the higher-ups want to see the actual employment rate and can’t let the lower-class residents sit at home with nothing to do.

In addition, the Lin family is also recruiting workers.

The Lin family is recruiting hard-working miners who need to leave Blue Coast Island and go to the Lin family's resource island.

Miners can sign a short contract for half a year and can return in the spring of the next year after the winter. The treatment of working as a miner is slightly better than finding a job locally, but it requires leaving home.

You can also choose to sign a long-term contract to become the Lin family's exclusive miner. The salary will increase dramatically, and you will then settle on the resource island and become a permanent resident there.

Moreover, the life of a long-term miner will be much more stable. Food, accommodation and salary will be provided to a mortal wife, and the son will be a miner from birth. He will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of his life and will avoid decades of detours. However, he will never see the colorful world of cultivating immortals again.

"Short-term or long-term? That's the question."

The down-and-out monk, whose Taoist robe was already torn but he had never changed, looked at the Lin family's recruitment information and felt hesitant.

He couldn't stay in Lan'an Market any longer.

Over the years, he first lost his ancestral property, then drove his wife away, and now even his little cash cow has run away. He has no skills and dares not join the monster hunting group to go out to sea to kill monsters, so now he can only go mining.

Mining is good. It does not require disputes with others, nor does it require facing vicious monsters. When natural disasters come, you can hide in the Lin family's formation. It is so safe.

"Done! Long-term contract, for life!"

...

"Sir, you're alive again."

As the cooperation stabilized, Uncle Zou's channels became more open to Lin Qianfan, expanding from the initial weapon refining to weapon refining, talisman making, and formation refining.

If Lin Qianfan didn't dislike showing up in public and damaging his status, he would even take on the job of setting up the formation. After all, it's both about making money and improving his skills.

"Oh, it seems some people are having a good time."

"There's a lot of work to be done, and the four eastern islands are really hot right now."

"Okay, I'll just pick these."

"Young Master is no longer..."

"I have my own plan. I just need to practice."

"As ordered!"

Lin Qianfan is not short of money now, and there is no need to spend too much energy on these part-time skills. It would be better for him to try to comprehend the memories of the foundation-building stage.

The sea is vast,

In his spare time, Lin Qianfan would take Yinlin out hunting, and at the same time look for powerful monsters to hone Yinlin's combat ability and the cooperation between the two.

"It's really not easy to find a powerful monster."

The smarter monsters knew how to avoid humans, and since most of the monsters that came ashore to be slaughtered during the storm season were local, they had to travel a long way every time they wanted to find a suitable target.

"Go ahead and fight the way I taught you."

The target was hiding in the sea, so it was not convenient for Lin Qianfan to follow and he could only watch the battle from the sea.

In the past, Yinlin always relied on his combat instinct to fight. If he encountered an enemy he felt he could not defeat, he would just run away. If he encountered an enemy he felt he could defeat, he would just rush forward.

But Lin Qianfan taught it that it only needed to rush forward and fight close to humans when encountering them, and when dealing with other monsters, it should first use magical powers to test and suppress them, and only get close and kill them after making the opponent tired.

Yin Lin was greatly shocked when he first heard this, but when it came to actual combat, he would easily get carried away. Once he got carried away, he would be controlled by the energy and blood in his body and ignore his own magical advantages. Every time he had to wait until the excitement faded before he could remember his advantages.

Therefore, the purpose of Lin Qianfan's special training is to teach it to be smart and improve its intelligence at the same time.

Although this process may seem boring, for a monster with little intelligence, it is particularly important for its master to accompany it during its growth. Once both parties have established a deep relationship, even if Yin Lin's cultivation level surpasses Lin Qianfan one day, he will not rebel forcibly.

Of course, the premise of the above discussion is that the fourth order is not included.

The fourth level is a huge watershed. After a fourth-level monster successfully condenses a monster baby, its soul's weakness compared to humans will be infinitely reduced, and it is likely to rebel against its master at that time.

Therefore, before Yin Lin can really reach that step, Lin Qianfan still has to prepare a more advanced beast-taming contract. Of course, that is all in the future. Whether he can reach the third level is still uncertain at the moment.

After all, there have only been three Carp Dragon Demon Kings in the two thousand years of history of the Lin family, and the first generation Carp Dragon Demon King was captured by the first generation ancestor from the dark sea trench. So although Yin Lin has a way forward, it is not easy.

"Gu~du~"

After a fierce fight, Yinlin ended the battle beautifully with a water tornado.

"Not bad, some progress."

As he spoke, Lin Qianfan descended into the sea and removed the valuable parts of the prey. The remaining parts were Yinlin's main meal.

One monster, three ways to eat!
"Let's go and continue looking for the next target!"

Lin Qianfan's training subjects are not limited to commanding Yinlin to fight alone. When encountering a suitable target, he will try to coordinate the master and servant to fight with more people against fewer, or Lin Qianfan will fight alone. The main purpose is to become stronger in battle.

"Gudu~"

Although Yinlin enjoyed his current life, he always felt that something was wrong. However, his little brain was not able to figure out such a complicated problem, so he had to give up.

Two months later, autumn passed and winter came.

In winter, everything withers, thousands of miles of ice and snow are everywhere.

Ordinary people do not work in winter. On the one hand, it is too cold and the income is too low. On the other hand, there is no work to do. They just need to rely on the food and firewood stored in advance to survive.

It is different for monks. Although it is inconvenient to go out to work in winter, there are still many jobs to earn money, so the lower-level monks are still unwilling to be idle.

There is no way. In the ecological circle of the world of immortal cultivation, the happiness index of most low-level cultivators whose ecological niches do not reach the average level is not as good as that of ordinary people who live a carefree life.

"Old Zhang, how much Five Elements Essence has your family condensed?"

"It's normal. It only takes me two hours to do it after work every day. How about you?"

"It's okay. The three of us work on it in our spare time. It's barely enough to support our family."

In a sense, the Five Elements Essence should be more powerful than low-grade spirit stones, because people who can use the Five Elements Essence are at least Jindan cultivators, which are definitely high-level resources.

But the problem is that the Yulong Islands are so small, and there are not enough Jindan cultivators in the Lin family. New Jindan cultivators can often directly refine the inherited magic weapons left by their ancestors, and then refine an additional natal magic weapon. The demand for the five elements essence is limited.

The Thousand Star City has been purchasing the Five Elements Essence for a long time, but the profit is not great, and the Lin family did not pick up this business as a long-term independent income.

Unless one day the number of Lin family's golden elixirs increases and there are not enough magic weapons to share, and they need to be refined, or the purchase price of Thousand Star City is considerable enough.

"I'm so envious. Your wife and children are so sensible. Alas~"

Life is not easy these days, but other people's wives and children understand the difficulties of their families and know how to contribute to the family expenses. When Lao Zhang thinks of his spendthrift wife, he sighs.

"If you ask me, this woman is meant to be beaten. Otherwise, she won't be able to tell who is the king in the family."

"Ah~"

Hearing this, Lao Zhang sighed repeatedly.

Others can beat their wives, but he can't, absolutely not! It's not because he loves his wife so much, but because he can't beat her at all.

The family status in the world of immortal cultivation is often determined by strength, but strength is not static. The originally strong party may become the weak party after many years.

"Ah! I'm sorry for touching your sore spot. As a man, you shed blood but not tears. Don't take it to heart."

"Ah~"

Old Zhang was speechless and just sighed.
