"Bang bang bang. ”

It wasn't long before dawn when there was a knock on the door outside the earthen house.

"Goode, are you up?

"Right away!"

Goode took the last sip of the hot porridge, wiped his mouth, and looked at the girl who was still busy making the bed, "Then I'm leaving." ”

She looked up, "Don't you really need me to go?"

"I've said many times that you're too young to have a job for you. Goode said impatiently, "Stop—I know you're going to talk about the wolf's heart again, but that kind of ...... Do you want to keep doing it? Stay well, I'll come back at noon with good food. ”

The girl's eyes lit up, "Popcorn-"

"It's too expensive, and I think it's good to have egg pancakes. Or do you not like fried eggs that are browned on both sides?"

"Gollum," she swallowed.

"So don't run around, understand?" Goode finally admonished, "by the way, what's your name?"

"Rachel. ”

"What should you call me?"

She hesitated, but finally replied, "Brother...... Elder brother. ”

"Good, don't say it's missing. Goode tightened the sackcloth around his neck, pushed the door and walked out of the earthen house, the warm breath was suddenly dispelled by the cold wind, and winter returned to his familiar appearance. But even so, the scene that catches the eye is full of life and vitality.

Rows of earthen huts stretched out like waves on the snow, and everywhere you looked, you could see cooking smoke and swaying figures. The city loomed in the smoke in the distance, as if it were still asleep, but across the river, it had awakened.

It was Uncle Baji and Shanguo who lived next door who knocked on the door, and they stood dozens of steps away and urged, "What are you still stunned about, hurry up and come along!"

"Here we are!" he closed the door and ran towards the two of them through the snow.

The temporary residence was about four miles from the center of Neverwinter, and the trio had to rush to the central plaza before the new job was announced. Fortunately, solid stone roads have been built along the Chishui River, and even if they are covered in snow, they can be walked with peace of mind - there are no worries about the mountain road that needs to be explored step by step, and it can be reached in about a quarter of an hour.

Soon, there were many more people around them—the temporary quarters were so large that Goode didn't even see the end of them, and according to the neighbor's uncle, the old mud huts were still built inside the city, but as the number of people grew, the hills were all moved out of the city. Because it expands every year, no one knows exactly how many migrants it contains.

One thing is certain, however, that most of the people who have joined the stone path from their places of residence are also going for new jobs.

"Have you figured out what you're going to do next?" asked Badge.

"It should be an easier job, like snow clearing, ice removal and other ......," Shan Guo said with the back of his head in his hands, "The time is short, the money is fast, you can manage two days of food in one day, at least you are not afraid of hunger this winter." Of course, the premise is that there is no better limited recruitment. ”

Limited recruitment refers to those special jobs that have a limited number of requirements, a certain threshold, and a much higher pay. The city is full of bizarre rules, such as the fact that all employment announcements are related to the Executive Office, not individuals, and that officials update the notices once a week, or hundreds of people. Such scale and efficiency can be said to have reshaped Goode's perception.

But the most important thing here is surprise, which is nothing compared to other incredible wonders.

All recruitment is basically divided into three categories, in addition to limited recruitment, the other two categories are short-term recruitment and formal recruitment - the latter is much more widely paid and has a much wider range of work, but unfortunately either requires an ID card or a primary diploma, and migrants like them can only choose short-term work to fill their stomachs.

Shanguo's choice is reasonable, although the easy job is not very rewarding, but it can also save energy to attend primary education classes. If you can pass the examination, you will be able to obtain the status of a full resident.

"What about you?" said Sango, looking at him.

"It pays well," Goode shrugged, "and it doesn't matter if you're tired." ”

Because he still has a mouth to raise.

As a newcomer who only moved to Neverwinter this winter, he was lucky to have a sheltered hut, and he hadn't had the luxury of moving into those beautiful residential areas where he could eat dried meat once a week.

The only thing that Goode regretted was that the jobs issued by the Office of Administration all set a minimum age cutoff of sixteen, and Rachel would have to wait another two years to meet the requirement. Now that he has finally escaped from the fire pit, he must not let the other party fall into it again.

"Don't overdo it," Badge reminded, "and it's freezing cold, and a trip to the hospital isn't cheap." ”

"Don't worry, I'm in good health!" Goode patted his chest, this is not a boast, he was almost selected as a knight servant before, if it wasn't for his poor background...... "Uncle, what are you going to do?"

"I don't choose anything, but I'm here to accompany you. ”

"Huh?" Shanguo was stunned.

But Goode quickly reacted, "Are you already ......?"

"Haha, that's it," Baji laughed twice, "The foreman of the sixth engineering team has taken a fancy to me and plans to summon me into the official team, and the new contract should be delivered in the next two days." ”

"That's really ...... Great!" Shanguo came back to his senses, "If you are officially recruited, your salary can almost be doubled, right? Then it won't be long before you can save up for a down payment, get your ID card, and become a real resident of Neverwinter!"

"If I want to read books and learn words again, I will definitely not be able to read it. Badge waved his hand, "And I've been here for almost two years, and now I see an opportunity, I can only say that I am too stupid, you are so young, there must be more opportunities than me." ”

There were also people around who heard their conversation and came over to say hello, and the road became lively for a while.

This made Goode a little puzzled.

In his opinion, obtaining an ID card was just a matter of getting a better job, but these people were like the other way around—it didn't matter which lord or king's lord they became, but in their words, it seemed to be a matter of great pride, even more important than the work itself.

While chatting along the way, the three of them rushed to Neverwinter Square.

A group of early adopters have gathered here, but most of them are residents of the city, and they do not compete with the displaced people in the temporary settlements.

The new announcement was posted on the south side of the square, and from time to time, a little ghost walked up to Goode and his party and asked, "Do you need to read it on your behalf?" ”

"No, we know the words," Badge replied with a smile - of course, only Shanguo knew the three, and he didn't recognize all of them.

"Tsk, these guys...... Why don't you find a full-fledged job if you have this effort," Goode muttered quietly, "and the pay is much more than these bronze eagles." ”

"They're all students at the academy, and they're probably not of working age yet. Shanguo looked around.

"What?"

"Hmm...... "To prove the importance of 'knowledge,' the teachers often encourage them to use what they have learned to find money-making opportunities – as if this practice has led to a huge increase in the number of people in the academy, and if I don't have to work during the day, I would like to try it." ”

Belch...... Is that okay? Goode again glanced at the substitute readers who were running around, most of them were indeed children. If he's not mistaken, Rachel knows some words, maybe he can let her do this?

"Hey, look there!" the uncle suddenly pointed to the corner of the south end of the square, "a lot of people have surrounded him!"

Goode and Shanguo glanced at each other, "Could it be - limited recruitment?"

"Quick, let's go check it out!"

The three of them immediately ran towards the gathering place of the crowd, and to their surprise, not only did a tent be erected, but also a special narrator was set up.

After listening to the explanation, Goode couldn't help but feel happy!

There is indeed a limited recruitment process, and the conditions are extremely lenient, no literacy or ID required, the only requirement is to be in good physical condition and pass a series of relevant assessments. Although he didn't quite understand what the weird assessment content in the other party's mouth meant, as long as it was a physical competition, he had enough confidence.

The most surprising thing is that this turned out to be a recruitment from the army!
