Chapter 1 The End of Top Students

Next Chapter

Legend has it that at the end of the world, all land will be annihilated by the sea. At this time, God suddenly awakened, and it left the last home for all things in the world, the continent of Asia.

After hundreds of years, the continent of Asia has gradually regained its former prosperity. Among them, the Zansi Empire, the most powerful state on the continent of Asia. In its imperial capital, Sala, there is one of the top colleges in the Empire, the Megnio Academy.

Megno's graduates never worry about finding a job, they can casually enter a well-known company, or take the national guard, or find a hunting group as an elite warrior. For them, work is as easy as drinking water.

You Qian is obviously a highly talented graduate of the college, but now he is facing a huge crisis of employment.

"Dishwasher! It's always okay to be a dishwasher! ”

"Excuse me! We don't recruit pure humans! ”

"Look at the warehouse! Please show me the warehouse! ”

"Look at the warehouse and need to move hundreds of pounds of things, if you are purely human, forget it......" The interviewer looked at Youqian's resume and said coldly: "Please go back!" Next! ”

This is the twenty-eighth time that You Qian has failed the interview. At the moment, he has no way out, if he can't find a job in half a year and can't earn twenty gold coins to repay the bank loan, then his life will completely fall into hell!

It all started a month ago.

In the café, You Qian looked at his graduation results, almost all of the theoretical courses were S+, but all the practical courses were D-, and the overall rating was "C+".

In front of him, there was only one last chance to retake the exam. As long as he can get a grade of C or above in the make-up examination of the actual combat class, his comprehensive rating can rise to a B level, and then he will be able to apply for positions such as "Imperial Archaeological Team" and "Imperial Museum", which will be one step closer to his dream.

However, there is a very real problem in front of him - he is a pure human being, and his constitution cannot activate the genes of other creatures, so he cannot obtain the characteristics and powers of other species. With the strength of "human" alone, it is ironclad that you will not be able to achieve a grade C in the exam.

Seeing his dejected appearance, the coffee shop clerk Swinder secretly leaned into his ear and said, "Brother Qian, I have a way!" ”

Swind, a new employee who arrived a month ago, said that he was also a "pure human", so Youqian had a special affection for him and was very impressed.

Swinder said mysteriously, "My friend has a potion that activates genes for a short time after injection. It's just a black needle, and the side effects are big, so I don't recommend it until the most critical moment. ”

After hearing this, Youqian's eyes lit up, and he pulled Swind's collar and said, "Good boy! It's not right now, when is it! Come and hear it! ”

Seeing this, Swinder said, "A friend of mine claims to be a science maniac. He combined the "stimulants" and "genetically modified injections" left over from the old world to create this unique drug, which is claimed to be the gospel of pure mankind.

It's just that the guards have been holding on tightly lately, and I don't know if I can get the black needle, so I have to ask first. And ......" Speaking of this, Swinder was a little stumped: "The price is very expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it at all." ”

That night, You Qian lay on the bed and tossed and turned, unable to sleep at all. During the day, Swind's words were like a seed with magical power, taking root in the deepest part of his heart.

As a student of Megnio and a lover of old-world culture, he certainly knows how harmful doping can be, and he also knows the possible consequences of buying "black needles". But if it is really as Swinder said, if you can strengthen your physique and activate your armament in a short period of time, then it will all be worth it.

The next day, Youqian made up his mind and found Swind. However, Swind's offer surprised him.

"What? Twenty gold coins? ”

You must know that in the Zansi Empire, the average person's income is only a dozen gold coins a year. Twenty gold coins is an astronomical amount for a prospective graduate like Youqian.

Seeing that Youqian retreated, Swinder hurriedly analyzed: "Brother Qian, think about it, with your current evaluation, you will become a senior clerk after graduation, one or two gold coins a month." But if the evaluation rises to a B grade, the income will more than double! Earning back twenty gold coins is a matter of three or four months. ”

Swind's words poked at Youqian's heart again. If the evaluation is upgraded to B level, not to mention doubling the income, you can still do the career you like, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

"You are a graduate of a prestigious college, as long as you take your diploma to the bank as collateral, you can easily get a loan. And I told my friends that things will be tried first, and then you will be charged when your evaluation improves. ”

Seeing that Swinder was thinking about him everywhere, You Qian couldn't help but shed tears of gratitude. He had never taken out a loan and had little experience, but under the guidance and help of Swinder, Youqian signed an agreement with the Sara Commercial Bank to guarantee a loan of twenty gold coins with an interest-free repayment period of six months.

If it is not paid off after half a year, the credit rating will be downgraded to Grade 2, and an additional interest of two gold coins will be charged per month. After a year, if it is not paid off, the credit rating is downgraded to four and placed on the wanted list of the guards.

According to Youqian's plan, as long as you pass the make-up exam and upgrade the evaluation to a B level, you can find a job and work for three or four months to pay it off.

As soon as the two of them came out of the bank, Swinder excitedly dragged Youqian to the coffee shop for a drink. But he never expected that after drinking the coffee handed by Swind, he would slowly lose consciousness. By the time he woke up, the twenty gold coins in his pocket were long gone, and Swinder was long gone, leaving only a note that read, "Pure humans are easy to deceive."

"Swind, you make eggs! No! Ahhh Only then did You Qian realize that he had been completely deceived. He went to the guards to report the case, but was rejected because of insufficient evidence. He went to the bank to complain, but was also called back for lack of reason.

As a result, his comprehensive evaluation was locked in a C grade, which is not the worst. The most fatal thing is that his graduation certificate was detained by the bank before it was issued, and no one will recognize his identity until he gets his graduation certificate.

All in all, You Qian became a waste without any academic qualifications, let alone any combat power, overnight! In this society, people like him simply can't survive.

"No! Be sure to redeem your diploma! "You Qian believes that as long as he earns enough twenty gold coins in half a year, everything will be better again.

However, twenty-eight failed interviews drove him into a bottomless abyss. Many interviewers see that he is purely human, and they don't even think about saying no.

As a result, he had to give up his senior recruitment positions in the Central Block, the First Ring Road, and the Second Ring Road, and he could only target small shops and workshops in the Third and even Fourth Ring Roads.

In the past, he didn't bother to come to this kind of peripheral area, where did he think that one day he would have to eat here in a low voice.

However, to his despair, even in this kind of place, there is still no store that wants him, and no one is willing to accept even if his salary is reduced to one silver coin a month.

"Damn! If it weren't for this damn constitution! Do you need to come to this garbage place? I'm whoa, whoa! ”

After the forty-third rejection, Youqian was on the verge of collapse, and he went around aimlessly insulting like a drunken drunk. Now he doesn't even have a place to live, and the food money on him can only last for three or five days. If he can't find a job again, he doesn't have to wait half a year, and he will starve to death in half a month.

In desperation, he unconsciously walked into the path of the Fourth Ring Road. It borders the slums, the law and order is chaotic, and the guards are not very careful.

The buildings here smell of decay, the roads are so muddy that you don't even know where to step on them.

However, it was in such a place that there was a shop that caught his eye. Although it is a renovation of an old residential building, it exudes a unique quaint atmosphere. Signs covered with rose vines read the words "Umi Miscellaneous Goods Store," and the front of the store is spotlessly clean, and old utensils are neatly placed in the windows.

You Qian could see at a glance that it was a classic gramophone of the old world, and the copper trumpet flower that had gone through a hundred years of vicissitudes was particularly eye-catching. Next to the gramophone, there is also a harp more than a meter high, both of which glow softly in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Both of these items are extremely fragile, and there are not many that can be left after the apocalypse, and You Qian has only seen them in books. I didn't expect the shop in the Fourth Ring Road to have such treasures.

He couldn't help but walk to the window and take a closer look at the two treasures. At this time, he was shocked to find a yellowed recruitment notice pasted on the glass:

"Recruit a salesperson. Eat and live. Salary interview. ”

Although it is only an inconspicuous small shop, Youqian has no way out, and something is better than nothing. He decided to go in and try his luck.

"Hello, anyone?"

You Qian gently pushed open the door of the store, but the scene that greeted him surprised him.
