Chapter 7: Relief Center for the Unemployed
Pei Mengqing felt that either Zhang Baicheng was stronger than her, so she couldn't see the flow of his anger, or that the other party was not on the same path as her.
In other words, the cultivation system has put him on the path of cultivating immortality, but the power system of this world does not necessarily lead to cultivating immortality.
After breakfast, Pei Mengqing said goodbye to Boss Zhang and returned to Chengdong District, intending to see if there was any short-term work that could be done, preferably one that would pay her wages in advance.
The task of investigating the cutoff of county roads is limited to one day. People in the city are probably aware of this matter. While looking for short-term work, they can also gather information on the way.
I don't know what my current strength is, and I don't know if I can even compare to an ordinary tiger, let alone a mutant tiger.
It's best to be more prepared.
When she returned to the city, Pei Mengqing specially passed by the Ernst & Young Pawn Shop to see what was going on.
As a result, there were even more people than yesterday. The "blood donation truck" was packed to the brim and there were people queuing up at the entrance.
Liquids of various colors were drawn from people's bodies and filled with blood bags.
This kind of scene makes people shudder every time they see it.
When we arrived in Chengdong District, there was an unemployed relief station, where jobs were distributed to suitable people every day.
It sounds wonderful, and the original intention of establishing it was also very good, but as current events have deteriorated, the situation here has become almost like the situation in the movie "Bicycle Thieves".
Even if it is painting the wall of Mr. Zhu's house in the south of the city, such an easy job requires a bachelor's degree in civil engineering.
"The Life Association is recruiting! 5 people! Requires academic qualifications related to animals, or all work experience in related professions!"
A man wearing a plain jacket stood on a high platform, holding a piece of paper in his hand and waving it to the people applying for jobs below.
"Me! I graduated in animal physiology!" Someone raised their hands and shouted.
"Okay, count you as one, come up!"
"Me me me! I was a doctor at Chengxi Pet Hospital before it closed down!"
"You come up too!"
Soon the five people were filled.
Pei Mengqing looked around and waited for a long time but still didn't find a job that suited her.
These trivial jobs actually have various educational requirements.
The original owner of the body was just a martial artist, barely a martial arts boy who graduated from the county martial arts academy, without any academic qualifications at all.
Pei Mengqing herself graduated from the Chinese Department. After graduation, she just went to a construction company that had nothing to do with the subject, and went into the office to do boring work of sending and receiving documents.
If any rich man wants an advertising copy, he can give it a try.
"A mutated tiger recently appeared on Lianggu Road, and the merchants and soldiers of the county government were poisoned by it. Now the county government is looking for a warrior with outstanding martial arts skills, hoping to investigate clearly what happened to the tiger on Lianggu Road.
What happened! If you find out the truth, you will be rewarded with one silver dollar! If you kill the mutated tiger and bring back the body, you will be rewarded with five silver dollars!"
"Me! I graduated from the County Martial Arts Academy!" Pei Mengqing seized the opportunity and shouted loudly.
Isn't this a coincidence? He was originally going to investigate the details of the incident based on system tasks. Now that he encountered a task issued by the county government and a large reward, he naturally wanted to try his best to fight for it.
Just when he shouted the words, he thought of a question.
There are at least several hundred soldiers in the county government's arrests. Even if there are no troops stationed in Liangzhou County, there will not be no manpower to explore Lianggu Road and deal with a small mutated tiger.
There is also Fengzhang Road mentioned by Zhang Baicheng. The road blocked by the debris from the mudslides. Even if the county government has no manpower and no spare money, it can be cleared in a few days by discussing with the wealthy businessmen in the city and jointly investing in recruiting some farmers.
open.
On the distant mountain road, farmers can also be recruited to carry soil from Taoshan to the south of the Feng River to pave a dirt road, or the Feng River can be intercepted and diverted to reduce the flow of water that floods the road.
It is not a difficult matter for the county government, so why has it not been solved for so long?
Even this time on Lianggu Road, they just recruited a warrior to explore the situation?
Pei Mengqing sighed. Her food and clothing problem had not been solved yet, and two system tasks were hanging over her head. However, her worries were unfounded and she began to think about the affairs of the county government.
"I also graduated from the County Martial Arts Academy, and I worked in the army ten years ago before the garrison was evacuated!" Another person also shouted.
"What have you done in the army?" the person on the stage asked.
The man was a little embarrassed and his voice became obviously softer: "Cook."
It may be that the surrounding environment is noisy, with job seekers whispering to each other, and there is a lot of chaos.
"Quiet!" someone on the stage shouted, and then asked, "What have you done in the army?"
The man in the audience blushed and shouted: "Cook!"
This time the sound was louder, and everyone around could hear it clearly, causing a burst of laughter.
"Is there more?" someone on the stage shouted.
The people who come to apply for jobs are basically ordinary people, and they can't even say whether they can beat ordinary tigers. What's more, there is a relief station for the unemployed here. There are always more suitable and safer jobs waiting for you.
No one who dislikes longevity is willing to take this job.
"In that case, the two martial arts academy graduates just now, please take this piece of paper to the building at the back and go in through the door on the left. The boss of the county government will select a suitable candidate from the two of you."
The cook took the piece of paper and reluctantly took Pei Mengqing to the "assessment office" at the back.
The assessment and selection is also very simple. The two of them compete in front of the county police officer to see which one is more powerful.
After all, Pei Mengqing is also a monk who has entered the Qi realm. There is a big gap between him and ordinary martial artists. He can't even use a sword. His body, which is constantly nourished by Qi, has become much more agile and he can easily defeat his competitors.
After taking the power of attorney and stuffing it into her arms, Pei Mengqing pushed the door open and went out under the reluctant look in the cook's eyes. She identified the direction and walked straight to Lianggu Road.
Before leaving the aid station, there was still a group of people swarming under the high platform.
Some people took a new job and left happily, while the people below seemed to see more but less.
I don’t know if if things continue like this, there will be demonstrations here or there will be mass exodus.
But these are none of his business. Once the water supply channel of Ernst & Young Pawn Shop is cut off, he will definitely be hunted down by the Dark Night Chaos. By then, he will probably have followed Zhang Baicheng and fled to Yingchuan County.
On the way, Pei Mengqing passed by a private house, and there was a loud noise inside.
He has heard this sound a lot in the past two days. Ordinary families are still noisy, but in Liangzhou County today, the poor and humble couples are miserable and noisy everywhere.
It’s just that the content seems to be different this time.
"Anyway, I don't agree, so you just want to sell Zhuang'er for your stinky wine!"
