But let's talk about these things later. What Bai Ke needs now is to find a job, settle down here first, and then make other plans.
Without thinking too much, Bai Ke felt that he had rested enough, so he decided to get up and look for a job nearby.
[Ding~ Trigger mission]
【Name: Looking for a job】
[Difficulty 0 Stars]
[Introduction: Please find a job.] (Note: Try to become a wage earner! Young man~)
[Reward: Experience? (Determined by time and work.)]
【Do you want to accept this task? 】
This mission came at the right time.
Bai Ke scanned the task information and saw that there was nothing wrong with it, so he chose to accept the task.
Then Bai Ke stood up and walked forward along the road. As he walked, he carefully looked at the various shops on both sides of the road, looking for any recruitment information posted in front of the shops.
……
"Excuse me...are you...hiring people here?"
"I'm sorry, I'm looking for someone to solicit customers outside. You're not proficient in the common language, so you're not suitable for this job."
Inside a restaurant, the owner shook his head and refused.
"Um, okay, excuse me."
Bai Ke nodded, said something politely, then turned and left.
……
"Excuse me...are you hiring?"
"Um... sorry, I had already recruited the person yesterday, and I forgot to tear up the recruitment information I wrote, so you had to make a wasted trip."
Inside the bakery, the middle-aged female owner said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Okay, excuse me."
……
Chapter 4: Stability
"Excuse me, are you hiring here?"
"I am indeed hiring, but looking at your small frame, you definitely can't do the heavy work here."
Inside the blacksmith shop, a burly dwarf shook his head, his refusal obvious.
"excuse me."
Bai Ge didn't try to show off or anything. He just said something politely and turned to leave.
"Hey~ This is the third one. Let's go to the other street and see what's going on."
Qianxun's first release: 312814139
After walking out of the dwarf's blacksmith shop, Bai Ke sighed. It took him most of the day to find three shops with job openings posted on this street, but he was unsuccessful in all of them.
“Gugu….”
At this moment, the hunger that had been suppressed by the water resurfaced and my stomach began to growl.
"First... fill your stomach."
Bai Ke frowned, sat down on an empty chair by the roadside, then took out half a piece of bread that was a little squeezed and deformed from the bag and started eating.
Wu Lingyi bullies leeks
The bread tasted a little hard, and the flavor was reduced because it took a little longer to bake, but it did not prevent Bai Ke from enjoying it.
To a hungry person, everything tastes delicious.
Soon half a piece of bread was eaten, but Bai Ke still felt unsatisfied. Obviously, this half piece of bread was not enough to fill his stomach, but he did not plan to eat any more.
When something happens, Bai Ke usually thinks of the worst and makes preparations in advance.
In order to avoid repeated setbacks in job hunting and being unable to find a job, it is better to save on food and try to last two more days.
After sitting in a chair and resting for a while, Bai Ke stood up and walked towards another street, continuing his journey to find a job.
Inside a somewhat old bookstore.
"Excuse me, are you hiring here?"
The man at the counter had white eyebrows and a short white beard. He looked kind and benevolent. He smiled amiably and said:
"I am indeed hiring, but the salary is a bit low. I can only offer you 500 fares a day, but food and accommodation are provided, and you have a lot of free time to spend as you please."
From the young man's poor command of the common language, the experienced store manager could tell at a glance that he was a person from a remote area.
This young man has fair skin and obviously has never done farm work. He is not born in an ordinary family, but a good family does not mean much experience.
The young man came from afar, I don’t know whether he came to this city for tourism or for dreams. He must have encountered something afterwards, because all his finances were robbed, leaving him with only thin clothes.
The store manager has seen many such down-and-out people in his life, and he was one of them back then.
Precisely because he had experienced that feeling when he was young, he didn't mind helping someone who was in the same situation to the best of his ability.
Although the price he offered was lower than the average, there was a lot of free time, and these few days were enough for the young man to find another job to support himself.
Bai Ke had no idea that in such a short period of time, the old store manager had imagined a lot of things about him. If he knew, he would definitely be in a dilemma.
"Whoo~"
Bai Ke breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the situation did not develop in the worst direction. Although the store manager said that the wages were low, as long as food and accommodation were provided, it would be okay to have no money.
"Excuse me, what is the job?"
Bai Ke asked politely. He saw from outside that this job was a short-term job with a time limit and the job content was not specified in detail.
"Cleaning and tidying up the bookstore."
The store manager answered with a smile, and then he explained the reason: "I have had a bone disease relapse in the past few days, so it is not easy for me to move around too much. But the bookstore needs someone to clean and tidy up, so I thought of finding someone to help me."
“I accept this job.”
After listening to this, Bai Ke thought for a moment and nodded, agreeing.
Although this was a short-term job, it was enough for him to get familiar with the place, and after finishing his work, he had free time at his disposal, which was very convenient for him.
"My name is Pusen. You can call me Manager Pusen or Mr. Pusen, or just Manager."
"Manager, my name is Bai Ke, you can just call me that."
The two of them briefly introduced themselves, and the old store manager stood up and said:
"Let me show you around the store first."
"Ok."
Bai Ke nodded to show that he understood, and then followed the store manager.
The store has two floors. The first floor is mostly occupied by rows of bookshelves. Apart from that, there is only a counter, a bathroom and a kitchen.
At the back is a small courtyard, surrounded by a high wall, with some flowers planted in the middle that are clearly well cared for, and a small pavilion with tables and chairs next to it.
The store manager took Bai Ke around the first floor and walked upstairs, saying as he walked:
"My place isn't very big, I only have one bedroom, but there's a utility room upstairs that I can clean up and give it to you to live in. I hope you don't mind."
"I don't mind, as long as I have a place to live."
Hearing this, Bai Ke shook his head and said that he was not a pretentious person.
Bai Ke was taken to the second floor by the store manager, in front of a door. He then found a broom, rag, bucket and other cleaning tools and said to Bai Ke:
"This is the utility room, but it hasn't been cleaned for a long time. Go and clean it up. Put the sundries on the middle table in the library next door. When you're done, come to my room and I'll bring the bedding to you."
"OK, all right."
Bai Ke nodded to show that he understood. He first put the bag in his hand on the cabinet beside him, then took a few cleaning tools beside him, opened the utility room and walked in.
The utility room was a small, dim room. Because it had not been ventilated for a long time, one could smell a faint musty smell after opening the door and entering. There was only a single wooden bed inside, and at the very back, there was a small window.
Although it is a storage room, it does not appear messy. There are no messy sundries. There are only wooden boxes of different sizes piled on the bed and in the corners, with a thin layer of dust on them.
The boxes are neatly arranged, which shows that the old store manager is a careful person and may have a little obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Bai Ke did not waste any time. He first opened the windows for ventilation, then moved what needed to be moved and cleaned what needed to be cleaned. He cleaned the bed and windows, and even the bottom of the bed. However, there was nothing underneath, so it was very easy to clean.
After a thorough cleaning, the room became much cleaner, the musty smell became thinner due to ventilation, and the originally dim room became a little brighter due to the opening of the windows.
During the cleaning period, Bai Ke took the time to collect the reward for the [Find a Job] task and gained 50 experience points, which was neither good nor bad, but acceptable.
After finishing these things, Bai Ke went to the store manager's room, brought back bed sheets and a magic stone lamp, and started working again.
After making the bedding, Bai Ke was done with everything. Then he went downstairs to the bathroom and washed up.
After coming out, Bai Ke asked the old store manager who was sitting at the counter: "Manager, I'm done with my work, what do you need me to do now?"
Chapter 5: Time and Change
The store manager put down the book in his hand, thought for a moment, took out two golden coins from the counter, pushed them forward, and said:
"It's almost noon. Go outside and buy two lunches. This is two thousand fares. It will be our meal money and your salary for today."
Then the store manager reminded: "Don't think this is a lot of money. The prices in Orario are much higher than other places. In an ordinary restaurant outside, a simple meal for one person costs about 200 fares."
I'll go to the old man's restaurant later and tell him that there's no need to deliver food to him for the next ten days starting from today.
At this time, the old store manager thought secretly.
"Okay, store manager."
Bai Ke quickly put himself in the role of the shop assistant and nodded to show that he understood.
"Of course, if you can cook, that's fine too. The money you save will be your reward. But if the food isn't tasty, I won't buy it~"
The old store manager said again with a smile on his face.
"By the way, my cooking skills are pretty good, and I'm pretty confident about the food from my hometown."
Bai Ke also smiled when he heard this, and said confidently, "He planned to make this money. No matter which world he was in, he couldn't do without money."
"Exotic food? I'm really looking forward to it!"
The old store manager stroked his short beard and said with a smile.
During this exchange between the two, the sense of strangeness between them was much less.
After Bai Ke took the money, he did not rush to leave to buy food and cook. Instead, he asked, "Manager, what kind of food do you like? Do you have any dietary restrictions?"
"I..."
The store manager was stunned, obviously not expecting Bai Ke to ask this question. Then he said with some nostalgia:
"I'm old now, and because of osteosclerosis, I can only eat light food. If I have to avoid certain foods, I don't like eating celery."
"Okay, got it."
Bai Ke nodded to show that he understood, then he picked up the two gold coins on the table and walked out the door.
[Ding~ Trigger daily tasks]
【Name:Three Meals a Day】
[Difficulty 0 Stars]
[Introduction: Prepare three meals a day, and you can receive a reward for each meal, up to three times, and the rewards can be accumulated.] (Note: Good children must eat on time~)
[Reward: 10 experience points, 1000 Faris. ]
【Do you want to accept this task? 】
When Bai Ke saw the task information, his eyes lit up. The reward was not only experience, but also the currency of this world, Fali.
And this is valid for a long time, that is to say, as long as he cooks on time in the future, he can get 30 experience points and 3000 fares every day.
It can be said that with this task, he will have initial financial freedom and will not starve to death due to lack of money.
