Chapter 21 Recruitment and Removal

Author: seedless melon

"This is not the reward I deserve. At the same time, I want to thank you for showing me the mystery of spiritual texts and the power of extraordinary beings."

Lilith handed the bag containing 20 gold pounds of reward into Truman's hand, forced herself to let go of her reluctant hand, and left without looking back.

She walked so fast, as if she was afraid of regretting it. Truman was a little surprised. He didn't expect that although Lilith loved money, she got it wisely.

"I'll borrow it from you!"

Truman shouted at Lilith's back.

All team members will receive equal remuneration. This is a rule set by the workshop owner. Without Lilith, Truman would only receive 20 gold pounds.

From this perspective, Lilith did give Truman the share that she could obtain according to the rules.

Truman happened to be short of money to upgrade, so he refused, but he would pay it back.

After saying goodbye to Lilith, Truman walked back to his rented apartment.

This apartment is located in the DC area of ​​Lundini City, only one kilometer away from the potion workshop. It is said to have been converted from a nobleman's mansion, so the rent is very high, with a monthly rent of 3 gold pounds.

The renter of the house is said to be a relative of the nobleman, with good hands and eyes, and can protect the property and personal safety of the residents. This is an added value, and Truman also takes a fancy to this.

As a time traveler, and an ongoing time traveler, Truman's biggest need in this world is safety.

When I returned to the apartment this evening, the landlord urged Truman to pay for the food as usual. Truman threw him a gold pound. After receiving the money, the landlord bit it with his teeth and complained that Truman must pay on time in the future and could not delay.

Obviously, this landlord didn't have any service awareness that "the customer is God", and Truman didn't bother to pay attention to him. Truman was exhausted that day.

But the work still has to be done.

First, he rested for a while, and when the time traveled came, he began to organize and record the harvest on the earth.

He saw four Beyonder sequences today.

Although it is only the extraordinary level, it is the most entry-level level.

But it's still dazzling.

"I have saved enough gold pounds. I will try to be promoted to an 'actor'. There are definitely risks, but with my large 'share', the probability of success will be greater than Anton's..."

The reason why Truman’s ‘share’ is so large is firstly because of his talent, and secondly because of the earth’s biotechnology.

But the combination of the two is not enough for Truman to translate the 20-character super 'continuous word' at once.

"The owner of the workshop must be suspicious. I can feel it. She didn't ask me questions directly. Maybe she is already wary? What about me? I should resign after I get the potion, right?"

Truman thought about it, but what will he do after resigning?

Can the extraordinary sequence he is about to obtain enable him to survive in this strange and treacherous world, carrying the secret of time travel?

Another more difficult question is, where does the money to support his life come from?



Early the next morning.

Truman is sleeping.

Then there was a knock on the door.

After being awakened, Truman took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was 6 o'clock in the morning.

Truman frowned and opened the door, and saw a face that was so enthusiastic that it was a little distorted.

It was the landlord. At this moment, the wrinkles on his face flew to the sky together, forming a smile that made people feel a little funny.

"Mr. Truman, I'm very sorry to disturb you so early, but there is something I must tell you." The landlord said.

This was the first time Truman heard the serious word "you" from his landlord. When he said "you" before, he always said it with a sense of irony.

"If you don't want to raise the rent, just say it." Truman yawned.

"How could it be? There is a gentleman waiting for you in the foyer. He hopes to see you as soon as possible."

When the landlord mentioned that gentleman, his smile became brighter, which made Truman realize that the landlord's respect was not because of Truman himself.

Who?

Truman went downstairs to the foyer with doubts, and saw a middle-aged man in serious black clothes and a silver wig.

Isn't this the housekeeper from Habsburg?

Truman looked at the butler with some confusion, and realized that he didn't know his name, which was a bit embarrassing.

"Dear Mr. Truman, Baron Hubbs Jr. would like to say hello to you." The butler did not introduce himself, but stated his purpose straight to the point.

Truman was keenly aware that when he heard the name "Little Baron Habs", the landlord who was following him bent his waist downwards and the smile on his face became brighter. Obviously, this name was very shocking.

"Thank you, Lord Baron." Truman responded. Of course he knew there were other programs.

Sure enough, the butler took out a black velvet bag embroidered with the Habsburg family crest and handed it heavily to Truman's hand.

"This is His Majesty the Baron's encouragement for your extraordinary work, and he extends a sincere invitation to you, hoping that you can work for Habsburg."



Probably 10 gold pounds...

On his way to work, Truman was still thinking about the feel of the money bag.

Must have at least 10 gold pounds.

Of course Truman didn't take it, but gave it back.

There is an Eastern proverb on earth called "No reward for no merit".

There is also an old saying that says, ‘The person with the shortest hand’.

Once Truman takes the Habsburg gold pound, if the young Baron Habsburg uses this as a threat and asks Truman to steal some secrets of the potion workshop, will Truman agree or not?

Truman, who has the "anti-fraud APP" installed on his mobile phone on the other side of the earth, deeply understands that all deceptions are due to greed.

10 gold pounds is far from the number that can buy Truman, and 100 is not enough. 1,000...well, it's a bit shaken. If it's 10,000...hehehe.

I'm not worth it either.

Truman shook his head and smiled.

Of course, although he politely declined the free money, Truman did not refuse the job invitation. Truman always had respect for work.

Came to the potion workshop and met the owner of the workshop.

The owner of the workshop got up especially early today, and actually summoned Truman in her office and bedroom at 8 o'clock. The picture of Begonia sleeping in spring made Truman's eyes light up.

"Ha..." the workshop owner lightly covered his mouth, "Have you brought the money?"

"Bring it." Truman put the money bag on the carpet. In it was the 20 gold pounds that the owner of the workshop sent yesterday, plus the 15 gold pounds that Truman had saved before.

35 gold pounds to buy the extraordinary first-level ‘actor’ sequence formula and potion materials.

Truman originally wanted to buy two copies of the materials, but the owner of the workshop said that it was of little significance and was a waste, so Truman did as he was told.

Truman returned the 20 gold pounds before he could hold it back, plus the 15 gold pounds he had saved so hard. At this moment, Truman didn't feel pity, but only felt anticipation.

"Okay." The owner of the workshop opened the money bag with his snow-white toes painted with danco color, revealing a pile of gold coins, and nodded to express his satisfaction.

"Go to the 'Hui Ji' and collect your formula, potion materials and unsettled wages." The workshop owner said lazily, "Then you will no longer be my student."
