Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 181 Xiaohong's Work Progress

"I remember that the starting point of the transformation chosen by Xiaohong seemed to be on the border between Intis and Loen. I don't know what the situation is now..." Rowling pinched the letter paper and took a few seconds to think about the progress of the transformation.

As far as he knew, Medici's plan was to fan the flames in various places first, secretly using various materials to aid the poor, while secretly spreading the idea of resistance, selecting suitable talents for development, and establishing a corresponding organization based on this group of people.

As soon as the time is right, Medici will officially launch a war of resistance, and then start with the border counties, let the spark of resistance ignite throughout Rune. After taking Rune, he will consider liberating other countries.

Of course, there will definitely be many more details in actual operation, but that is not something Rowling should consider, and he is not responsible for these contents.

"Should I go over and take a look? After all, I have a speech scheduled..." After thinking for a few seconds, Rowling happily decided to go to the site to inspect Medici's work progress.

Thinking of this, Luo Lin looked at Azik and said with a smile, "Mr. Azik, I have something to go out for. I will probably be back tomorrow."

Azik was stunned for a moment, then smiled gently and said, "Okay, I understand."

Then Azik saw Luo Lin hurriedly put on his coat and left the villa, looking very anxious indeed.

For a moment, the villa that was once bustling with activity was left with only the empty-nest old Azik.

"I've become the only idle person..." Azik felt a little amused and lonely.

He had gotten used to the lively atmosphere in the villa these days, and now that he was the only one left, Azik was really not used to it.

After thinking about it, Azik put down the newspaper in his hand and prepared to go to the study upstairs to find a book on mysticism to further enrich his knowledge.

Although he has experience as the Archon of Death, this world is constantly changing, and Azik has been reincarnating for the past thousand years. It is inevitable that there are aspects that he does not understand. He must continue to learn to ensure that nothing goes wrong at critical moments.

……

A small border town in Loen——

Lunt is an ordinary worker.

He had a hard but relatively stable job. The only problem was that the salary was very low, and normal work could not easily support his entire family, so Lent had to work overtime desperately, and he almost spent 24 hours at his workstation out of 18 hours a day.

Even so, Lent's salary was barely enough to feed his family, and as for savings, there was none at all.

But even so, Lent still felt that he was living a pretty good life. At least his family would not starve, and the four of them would not have to squeeze into one room. His youngest daughter could even go to a church school, and after graduation, she might be able to find a better job and become a decent person.

However, just when Lent thought his life would continue like this, he received shocking news - he was fired.

Their factory chose to lay off employees due to poor performance. As an assembly line worker who was not irreplaceable, Lent was naturally among those laid off.

Lent was still in a trance until he left the factory gate. He hoped that this was a nightmare, but the feeling of the drizzle outside hitting his face told him that this was not a nightmare.

He actually lost his job!

Lent suddenly felt a little breathless. He was so overwhelmed by panic that he even forgot to breathe.

In this day and age, losing a job is a terrifying thing. If he can't find another one in time, his family will have to move out of their current apartment and move into a small, damp basement, squeezed on bunk beds. His little daughter will no longer be able to go to school because she can't afford tuition. In a few days, the family of four may not even be able to afford food. And Lunt is no longer young, so it won't be easy for him to find another job.

Lent reached into his pocket with almost trembling hands, trying to take out the half-pack of cigarettes in his pocket. That was his most precious thing. Only when life was about to become unbearable would he carefully smoke one to calm himself down.

But this time he was probably too frightened, and Lent's trembling hands seemed to have lost their strength. After trying for a long time, he still couldn't take out the half pack of cigarettes.

And at this moment, someone suddenly patted his shoulder.

"Hey, Lent, why are you standing here in the rain? Aren't you afraid of getting sick?"

Lent turned his head blankly and saw a familiar face. It was his former colleague Dipsy, a young man who had been fired a few days ago.

Lent still remembered how gloomy the other person's expression was when he was fired, but now Lent found that the other person looked actually good, at least very energetic.

Has he found a new job?
While Lent was puzzled, Disi had already dragged him under a building where they could shelter from the rain. He then looked Lent up and down, as if he had guessed something, and said, "You were fired too?"

"Yeah." Lent could only nod bitterly.

"I guessed it would be like this. These xx xx don't care about our life or death at all..." Dipsy probably recalled the experience of being fired, and immediately started cursing with an excited expression. He cursed everyone from the small leader who managed them to the factory owner he had never met, and greeted their parents in all aspects within three minutes.

Lent listened to the vigorous scolding and couldn't help but echo a few words before looking at Dipsy and asking tentatively, "Dipsy, have you found a job?"

The reason why Lent asked this was naturally because he wanted to take the opportunity to ask if the other party's workplace was still hiring.

Hearing Lent's question, Dixie immediately stopped greeting the capitalists. He looked around before lowering his voice and saying, "I'm telling you, I found a good place..."

According to Dixi's own account, after being fired a few days ago, he found a new job through a friend's introduction. The work content is simple, and food and accommodation are provided, and the salary is high.

"We are still recruiting people. Do you want to come over?" At the end, Disi looked at Lunt and asked.

Lent was a little excited, but also a little worried. Although he was an uneducated guy, he knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch, and the job described by Dipsy was very much like a free lunch.

He's not a liar, is he?

Lunt hesitated.

Dipsy seemed to see through Lent's hesitation, and patted his chest to assure him, "Don't worry, I'm definitely not a liar. I'm not afraid to tell you that the reason I asked you to go there is because we have rewards for bringing new people over..."

LENT: ...

Sounds more like a liar.

But even though he had a lot of doubts in his heart, Lent finally chose to follow Disi to see the place he mentioned - he had no choice. If he couldn't find a new job, his whole family would die sooner or later.

So even though he knew the other party might be a liar, Lent still gritted his teeth and went.
