Chapter 446 - 387 Examining the Organization of Great Wilderness City
"Hmm, tell me the names, and I’ll consider it."Lin Ke had quite a good impression of that Knight of Justice.
Or rather, Lin Ke admired young people who still radiated with passion.
Like Bai Bing from Faser.
"It’s someone from the Tovell Clan of the Eternal Freeze Court, the clan leader." The female hunter, who had just been set down by Lin Ke, said as she took an object wrapped in yellow clay from her bosom: "This is the deposit he paid in advance."
It was evident that the object inside likely had magical fluctuations, and the layer of yellow clay outside was not ordinary; it probably served to shield magical fluctuations.
Lin Ke nodded and accepted it: "When can he come to buy the slave?"
Let’s just consider it a small investment.
Back then, when he saw that young man, he felt his character was quite decent.
Now it seems, this young man’s family seems decent too?
"I don’t know either... Anyway, I’ve delivered the message, thank you, Duke." The female hunter pounded her chest, originally intending to leave but hesitated, then said: "By the way, Mr. Lin Ke, can I ask you something?"
At this time, Vilune also came over and had already set up a small space.
He glanced at the female hunter and then at Lin Ke.
Although he knew Lin Ke’s character well, he was still somewhat at a loss with Lin Ke.
In his view, nobles and professionals should be distinct from lower-tier professionals and ordinary people, facilitating communication; otherwise, mutual understanding is impossible due to different worldviews and values.
As for Lin Ke, he could chat with just about anyone.
This low-ranking female hunter was someone Vilune wouldn’t even glance at, but now, as a follower, Vilune had lost his previous arrogance.
"Hmm, talk while walking." Lin Ke and Vilune were heading to the next place, but listening to what the female hunter had to say wouldn’t hurt.
After all, this female hunter could become a friend of that young man, pass messages, and hadn’t tampered with the deposit wrapped in yellow clay; she seemed to be a person of quality.
She didn’t let temptation and greed waver her friendship with the Knight of Justice.
Whether it’s using justice to conquer evil thoughts or using friendship to overcome greed and temptation, those are qualities.
Lin Ke always held respect for these intrinsic qualities, which are the great inner spirit of humanity.
"Can I be your tour guide?" The female hunter scratched her head, feeling a bit embarrassed: "It’s about the municipal job; I saw it in the newspaper before, but the number of applicants is already full..." She cautiously used her peripheral vision to gauge Lin Ke’s reaction.
In fact, even if the number of applicants hadn’t been full, the female hunter felt she couldn’t successfully compete.
The city hall recruited forty tour guides, mainly responsible for organizing tour groups and accompanying newcomers to Great Wilderness City, showing them around and having fun.
But merely forty tour guides, with over a hundred thousand people applying, the final count settled at two hundred thousand.
How could she, a female hunter, compete for the position? She would be eliminated long before even getting close.
At the same time, she knew there were many smart people, likely all of similar status as hers.
Consider the prospect of getting a formal position at the Great Wilderness City Hall, with a salary every month, working five days a week and resting for two days in turns with colleagues, and the job was just to play around and explain...
This kind of good opportunity seemed like a sweet deal for an easy life!
People like her usually could only take on tasks at the Mercenary Guild or the Scarlet Wilderness or hunt magical beasts to sell.
Licking blood off the blade edge daily, often uncertain about the next meal, she knew well the allure of this kind of "formal" job.
So the female hunter knew her competition would be fierce.
Thus, she intended to take a shortcut.
In her view, wasn’t it up to the Duke before her to decide the positions?
"Sorry, I can’t help you with that." Stepping into the elevator, Lin Ke shook his head: "This is a position, not just for me, but everyone in the City Hall, which cannot be interfered with. We have to ensure fairness."
No need for shortcuts, it would damage Great Wilderness City’s reputation.
"I see..." The female hunter thought about it, and it made sense.
One of the reasons Great Wilderness City attracted her was that here she could earn money based on her skills, not her body.
Many nobles offered her an olive branch, saying that she didn’t have to lead such a hard life if she became their mistress; she could live comfortably and freely.
But she, like many others, didn’t want to take that path, just like Lolita back then.
Lolita, who used to be on Pink Street, had become a brave female warrior under the Duke of Lava and was now newsworthy throughout Naseng.
The female hunter aspired to be like Lolita, earning money through strength, not by her body.
"However, there’s a job quite suitable for you." Lin Ke suddenly thought of something, looked a bit peculiarly at the female hunter and asked, "Do you have a fast metabolism and doesn’t gain weight easily?"
"Yes." Hearing there was a job suitable for her, she became a bit nervous: "That’s my skill, enhanced absorption."
Did the Duke of Lava ask if she would gain weight and then look at her body, isn’t this... The female hunter thought and was alert.
Could it be that the Duke of Lava was one of those types she had encountered before?
"Then that’s perfect, I have an idea — a broadcaster." Lin Ke stroked his chin: "I was planning to have those reporters try, but I see you have quite the appetite from eating at dozens of places on Eight Streets with us."
When Lin Ke mentioned her appetite, she blushed and asked, "What kind of work would I need to do?"
"Just eat," Lin Ke laughed: "I’ll have someone teach you how to use the Memory Stone to livestream and record. Later, you can do tasting at each store in Great Wilderness City and give ratings; eventually, you might create a food magazine, recording various eats there."
The channel and promotion will also be a crucial step.
Lin Ke planned to experiment to see if the [broadcaster] could become a profession.
"Eat, eat... eat?" The female hunter’s eyes widened, finding it hard to believe.
The elevator arrived, Lin Ke exited and continued with a smile:
"The monthly salary will be two thousand Azanen Coins, and bonuses will be given based on circumstances... Oh, by the way, regarding workload, let’s make it daily broadcasts and monthly publications, which may be quite exhausting... Hey, aren’t you going to come out of the elevator?"
Two thousand Azanen Coins, roughly equivalent to six or seven thousand in the former currency.
It wasn’t bad.
The key thing was that the female hunter looked quite good, with strong expressive and charming skills, likely bringing a fresh feeling to those nobles accustomed to noblewomen.
"I... I want this job!!" Fearful that Lin Ke might withdraw the offer, the female hunter quickly exited the elevator to follow Lin Ke’s pace.
Outside, the attendant watched the female hunter walk out with Lin Ke, eyes wide in surprise.
To him, her face was flushed with excitement, looking quite red.
"So the Duke prefers this type," the attendant silently thought to himself, watching Lin Ke and his entourage leave.
