Chapter 58 City Lord
Jiang Mian can only say that no one is perfect.
This person has a sharp tongue, but doesn't seem to have a bad heart.
Now that there's someone who can answer her question, she might as well ask.
"Are all healers forced to be assigned tasks?" Jiang Mian asked after thinking for a moment.
She didn't really want to have to complete specific purification tasks every day, just like in the original owner's memories.
Women's awakening of healing power is like securing a secure job in an empire.
Based on the level of awakened healing power, the empire will allocate housing, beast slaves, and jobs.
Those with higher healing power levels will be assigned better housing, better jobs, and higher wages.
Jiang Mian was unaware of how favorable the conditions were for those with higher healing power levels.
All she knew was that after the original owner awakened her F-level healing power, the Empire only assigned her the job at the small purification facility on the desolate planet where she lived. She didn't get a house, she didn't get any beast slaves, and her salary was just enough to make ends meet.
However, in the original owner's memories, her neighbor awakened a B-level purification ability, and the Empire assigned her a house, a job, and a beast slave on the capital star.
It leaped directly from a small, broken star to the glorious and prosperous Imperial Capital Star.
“In Baicheng, anyone with a healing level of E or above will be rejected. Those with F level will not be accepted. After all, there are few healers here, unlike other planets where there are many F-level healers. Each person can achieve the effect of an E-level healer by purifying a little bit every day.” Lin Xuan glanced at Jiang Mian. “If you are F level, you will not be assigned tasks, and naturally you will not receive any preferential treatment. You will also not be able to come here every Sunday for a delicious late-night snack.”
"I see." Jiang Mian nodded thoughtfully.
She'll just adjust her healing level to F later, since she doesn't really like having to purify a certain amount of food or meet certain targets every day like it's a job.
"So what exactly is your healing power level?" Lin Xuan asked again.
"F." Jiang Mian has now set herself at F.
"Where do you, an F, get so much money to live next to someone like me, a C or higher?" Lin Xuan asked, her eyes filled with doubt.
"Oh, I guess I don't rely on healing powers to make a living." Jiang Mian smiled slightly. "I have other ways to earn a living."
Lin Xuan choked for a moment.
"Alright, newcomers can get a free late-night snack if they come to test," Lin Xuan said casually. "You won't get an invitation next time."
Jiang Mian didn't seem to care much about this.
The two entered the villa and saw that there were already many women there.
Jiang Mian estimated there were about twenty or so. He hadn't expected that there would be so few healers in a city, but considering that this was an exile planet, he could understand it.
Everyone went to a machine for testing.
After the people finished the test, their personal computers were recognized by the city system, and then they went to the backyard to have dinner.
The city system will also automatically send various welfare notices to their personal computers.
Jiang Mian discovered that the highest level was only 3C, and there was only one 3C, three 2C, and no B-level.
No wonder Lin Xuan is so arrogant. She has three 2Cs, and she is one of them. She can really do whatever she wants in Baicheng.
Soon it was Jiang Mian's turn. Under her deliberate manipulation, she successfully obtained an F-level rating. F-level ratings don't require any work or verification by the city system like other ratings.
Jiang Mian and Lin Xuan walked into the backyard together. It was filled with all kinds of snacks and food, which could be taken freely, just like a buffet.
She sat quietly, enjoying her meal.
Because fresh food is simply unavailable here, and food is scarce, Jiang Mian has been relying on nutritional supplements these past few days.
So now that Jiang Mian is eating delicious and fresh food, she's starting to regret it a little. If she had become a healer here, she could have come and enjoy the food once a week!
But since things have come to this, there's no point in dwelling on it anymore.
Lin Xuan has already gone to play with her friends.
Jiang Mian strolled around casually, eating and chatting, when respectful yet slightly joyful voices echoed from afar. "Lord City Lord!"
"Greetings, Lord City Lord."
"Is the city lord feeling better today?"
……
A handsome and gentle young man dressed in a black suit and a white shirt walked out of the villa.
Jet-black hair, jet-black beads, and an extremely pale complexion—the stark contrast of black and white was striking, like a bold stroke in a traditional Chinese ink painting.
He smiled slightly, his demeanor serene, exuding a classical charm that seemed to have been refined by time.
"My body has always been like this, so there's no need for everyone to worry." Zhou Qing simply smiled slightly, her eyes gentle and tender.
But the next second his brows furrowed slightly, he took a clean white handkerchief from his pocket, covered his lips and coughed softly: "Cough cough cough..."
"Lord City Lord, you should get some rest," the woman said with concern.
"Yes, Lord City Lord, your health has always been poor, it will be difficult for you to find a wife in the future," the woman added.
More than twenty women gathered around.
To avoid looking out of place, Jiang Mian also went over to watch the fun.
"Thank you all for your concern." The young man's voice was light and pleasant, with a clean and refreshing tone. "I have received everyone's kind wishes."
His dark eyes were tinged with a faint smile.
"Lord City Lord, when will the expansion be carried out? The city feels increasingly crowded."
"The funding is not enough at the moment."
"Lord City Lord, there are always fights in the sub-district, disturbing the peace in the middle of the night. I wonder if you can do something about it?"
"Let me check behind me."
……
More than twenty women surrounded the young man and offered their opinions, but the young man showed no impatience whatsoever.
After all the questions were answered, the young man slowly said, "Everyone, please enjoy your dinner."
He spoke in a light, gentle voice, "Ahem, I'm not feeling well, so I won't stay here any longer."
"Oh, Lord City Lord, you should go and get some rest."
"It's windy here, it's better to go back inside."
……
Jiang Mian watched as the handsome city lord left her sight; the city lord seemed quite amiable.
However, being able to manage a city well requires some ability.
"Alright, stop looking. They've all gone far away." Lin Xuan's voice rang out beside Jiang Mian. "The City Lord is so dignified and upright; he's not someone we can even dream of."
Jiang Mian:......
She didn't have any designs on it.
“The city lord is handsome, but too rigid and boring. He’s not my type,” Lin Xuan said leisurely. “I was exiled here and lived in his White City for three years. I saw him take a walk in the city’s green belt almost every evening after dinner, playing the erhu, drinking health tea, and practicing Tai Chi. If it weren’t for his face, I would have thought he was some old man.”
Jiang Mian chuckled softly upon hearing the erhu being played: "Does the City Lord's erhu playing sound good?"
"The erhu is an ancient instrument that's thousands of years old. If I hadn't seen him playing it, I wouldn't have bothered to look it up and find out that the guy was playing an erhu," Lin Xuan said with a slight twitch of her lips. "He played it alright, not bad at all."
