Chapter 24: Recruitment

Roddy hesitated at the door for a long time, took a deep breath, took out the key, and inserted it into the door lock, just turning and clicking the door had already opened on its own.

"Roddy, why have you been around for so long?"

Because Roddy had not returned for a long time, Elijah was worried that he would be lost, so she waited at the entrance, and if it was any later, she planned to go out to look for it.

"Uh..."

Roddy was a little speechless for a moment, he felt like a child who had done something wrong, and he hadn't done even the simplest errands for his mother.

"Let's eat first, I just made some more mashed potatoes. ”

Ilya smiled at the small movement in Roddy's hand, pulled the door sideways, and motioned for Roddy to enter the house.

What made Roddy feel relieved and a little guilty was that it was time for Ilya to go to work.

"The bone fish soup is still hot in the pot, and I'll probably be back later. ”

Roddy nodded and looked at the back of Ilya's departure, his thoughts were a little complicated, this complexity came from the unfamiliar and familiar intertwined feelings, he was already trying to integrate into Roddy's new identity, but for Ilya, Roddy's mother, there was still a psychological barrier.

After sighing, Luo Di slowly came to the kitchen, the aroma of bone fish soup is indeed very attractive, and the color and intensified aroma of this food that has never been touched after lifting the lid greatly dilute the messy thoughts.

In addition to the bony fish broth, there is mushroom soup, grilled ham slices, and a salad made with unknown vegetables, and the main dish has been replaced with mashed potatoes for divination reasons.

In a sense, it was his first meal since the crossing, so Roddy ate slowly, carefully feeling the taste of each piece of food.

"Hmm... It's still the food of Greater China. ”

After eating and wiping up, tidying up the dishes, and finishing dinner, Roddy returned to his room first, took out Bob's letter of recommendation from the drawer, looked at the sky through the window, and put it back away.

"The letter of recommendation can be talked about tomorrow. ”

Luo Di closed his eyes to himself, planning to take advantage of this time to dig up the fragments of memory in his mind, one is to integrate into Luo Di's identity faster, and the other is to find some clues.

Probably because of the gradual adaptation to this body, the memories from joining the waste picking team to moving to the lower city can basically be reproduced.

"The Extraordinary..."

By recalling Dai's description of the Extraordinary, Roddy realizes that the Extraordinary is someone who has mastered some kind of mystery, and the other body located in the temple also has multiple magical abilities, and there must be some special connection between the two.

"God and the Extraordinary. Roddy thought for a long time and had a clear idea in his mind.

"In order to gain a deeper understanding of the mystery and the reasons for all this, I had to find a way to make this body extraordinary. ”

It's just that from what happened to Roddy, it can be judged very intuitively that it is definitely not a simple thing to step into the extraordinary.

"Looks like I'll need to take some time to go back to Leo Village to visit Miss Dai. ”

After clarifying his thoughts, Roddy put the matter aside for a while, and through his mind touched the golden orb representing the spirit teleportation, and with a slight dizziness, Roddy found that he had returned to the temple.

"It's magical... One soul and two bodies, this is probably the biggest benefit after crossing over. ”

Previously, finding a route out of the Forsaken Lands had become the main goal because of being trapped in a corner, but now with Roddy's identity, this goal can be slowed down, and the Forsaken Lands are dangerous but also safe.

It is possible to make any attempt here without being disturbed, and at the same time it is possible to use Roddy's identity to be active outside of the Forsaken Lands.

"Above all, the Forsaken Lands are perhaps the closest thing to mystery. ”

Once determined that the two bodies could be switched between them at will, Roddy exited the temple and returned to the room.

....

The next morning (Wednesday), after eating some rye bread that Ilya had brought back from last night, Roddy went to the Kotar City Daily office at 3-12-1 Cross Street in the lower city with Bob's letter of recommendation.

The Kotar Daily is actually a branch of the Kotar Daily, and the headquarters in Crown Street in the upper city is one of the largest and most influential newspapers in Kotar City.

Cross Street itself is located on the border between the lower and upper towns, so the streets are much cleaner overall, and the traffic is much less deserted, but the doors of the daily newspaper are always in and out, and they basically never stop.

Roddy stopped at the door, a little overwhelmed, after all, even when he was on Earth, he was only a sophomore, he had not yet participated in any work, and he did not have any summer job experience due to his family's wealth.

As a result, he stood for nearly thirty minutes at such a stand, and after a while, he tightened the envelope in his hand and took a deep breath to cheer himself up.

"I have a letter of introduction..."

But he found that the psychological suggestion made him more nervous.

"I see you've been staring at the newspaper for so long, do you plan to provide any information, or do you want to entrust the newspaper with an interview on something interesting?"

Roddy was tapped on the shoulder from behind, straightened up sharply, and turned around to see a middle-aged man with a full beard, wearing a top hat, a small round mirror, a black suit and a cane, looking very gentlemanly.

"Hello, sir, I went to the daily newspaper to apply for an editorial assistant. ”

The middle-aged man stared at Luo Di slightly strangely for a while, and then smiled kindly:

"Hehe, my name is Issad, you can call me Mr. Isad. ”

Roddy looked at Issad with some confusion and said politely:

"Hello, Mr. Isad, my name is Roddy, and I have just moved to Kotar City. ”

Issad looked Roddy up and down a few times, and asked casually:

"You look very young, what college did you graduate from?"

Luo Di almost blurted out the agricultural university in his memory, but fortunately, reason stopped it in time, but he didn't understand the meaning of the middle-aged man in front of him.

"I'm sorry sir, I'm glad to meet you, but I still need to apply for an editorial assistant, so..."

Roddy didn't finish his words, but the meaning was obvious, although he didn't think this middle-aged man had any malice, but it was always right to keep a certain distance from strangers.

"Hehe... What if I say I'm looking for an assistant?"

Isad looked at Roddy with interest, it had been a long time since anyone had applied for an assistant, because he was the only one who did not have an assistant, and those who knew him in general were reluctant to be his assistant.

Luo Di was slightly stunned, and once again carefully looked at the middle-aged man in front of him to confirm the credibility of what he said.

"It's not polite for you to behave like that. ”

"Sorry sir... But are you really the editor of a daily newspaper?"

Isad blew his beard and tapped the ground with his cane, clearly unhappy with Roddy's questioning.

"What, don't I look like it?"

Luo Di smiled awkwardly, took two steps back, and began to pray in his heart that the middle-aged man dressed as a gentleman in front of him was better off not being the editor of the daily newspaper.

Isad was very angry at Roddy's small actions, and fiercely took out a document from his breast pocket, on which were written the words 'Editor of the Kotar Daily'.

Luo Di looked at the documents and sighed in his heart, this is simply the most tragic application experience.

Seeing Roddy's surprised and somewhat stage frightened appearance, Issad grinned with satisfaction:

"Now believe me, I'm the ace editor of the daily newspaper!"

"I'm sorry..."

Roddy smiled awkwardly and took out the letter of recommendation.

Isad took the strange-looking envelope and stuffed it directly into his pocket, and then invited Roddy to a café directly opposite the daily newspaper's office, and gentlemanly ordered a cup of pure and authentic bitter coffee for Roddy.

This is a coffee that even some older coffee lovers don't like much.

Roddy himself doesn't really like coffee, and if he had a choice, he would prefer a cold Coke, but he doubted that there was such a drink as Coke in the world.

It's just that Issad kept staring, and Roddy had to pick up the coffee cup with a bitter face, just the first sip made his mouth and tongue cramp, and he swore that it was the most difficult drink in the world, even if it was a hundred times better than Chinese medicine without sugar.

Isad's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised.

Roddy was keenly aware of the change in Issad, and was very sure that the editor was definitely taking revenge.
