0001 Finding a job is not easy

Next Chapter

"You're here, huh? What is it called? ”

Leon ...... Leon Lane. ”

Ryan?

Hearing this rather familiar surname, the bored female interviewer behind the desk raised her eyebrows, looked up at the thin young man with dishes in front of the desk, and asked with a little surprise:

"Ryan...... Duke Lionheart, that Ryan? ”

"No......"

The job-seeking young man seemed to be accustomed to being asked this question, and after shaking his head slightly, he directly and skillfully explained:

"Although the pronunciation is the same, the Lionheart's surname is taken from the golden lion 'Lane' on his family tattoo, and my surname is taken from the 'Lane' in County Lane, and our ancestors seem to have been born there as commoners."

"Oh...... I think so. ”

The red-haired woman nodded knowingly, amused by her sensitivity.

How could that nasty family, which prides itself on its pure blonde hair, have never produced a few people with hair of other colors, have descendants with black hair and black eyes? And also reduced to come here to find a job on their own?

After looking at Leon's clothes, and staring at his old coat, which was cleanly washed, but the corners were worn to reveal the lining, the red-haired woman seemed to lose interest in him, lowered her head again, and then said absentmindedly while scratching something on the list with a quill pen:

"Then the family situation is filled in by the civilian, and the rest is the education level, whether there is faith, whether you have received prosthetic modification, whether the micro-differential machine has been implanted under the skin, and what specific crimes you have committed, you can report these items one by one."

Well? Wait a minute! What crimes were committed?

Leon couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, and then asked with some doubts:

"Excuse me, the last item you just said refers to my 'criminal history', right?"

“?”

Hearing Leon's question, the red-haired woman couldn't help frowning, then bent her knuckles and knocked heavily on the table twice, and scolded unceremoniously:

"I advise you to be honest! This is the Cleanup Bureau, not the courtroom! If it weren't for the felony that required a gallows, would you come to this kind of place to apply? If you do something, you can be honest, don't try to play tricks on me! ”

?!

No...... Why am I looking for a job, why do I still have to do with the gallows?

Tsk, it's secretive, and it doesn't do anything good at first glance!

Looking at Leon, who didn't know how to answer for a while, the red-haired woman opposite snorted with some disdain, and then knocked on the table again hard, and said with a cold face like a prisoner:

"I repeat at the end that this is a clean-up bureau, not a courtroom!

I have neither the interest nor the interest in judging you, and the reason why I want to ask you what crime you have committed is because I want to report your name and cancel the kingdom's wanted warrant for you, so you had better be honest! So as not to get yourself in trouble, do you understand? ”

Warrant?

After smacking the red-haired woman's words, Leon's pupils, who had reacted wrong, shrank slightly, and then cautiously confirmed: "Excuse me...... Are you here in the first cleaning bureau of the royal capital? ”

“……”

Cleaning Bureau?

This time, she was stunned by the question, and the red-haired woman thought for a moment and seemed to understand something.

After looking at the other party's somewhat thin body because of long-term malnutrition, the red-haired woman who was still disgusted just now was silent for a moment, then sat up straight and pointed out the window, lowered her voice and frowned and reminded:

"You're on the wrong track, this is the place...... It's the Sixth Abnormal Cleaning Bureau, which is a supernumerary department of the Ministry of Police, and the Cleaning Bureau you're going to is a department under the Ministry of Highways, so in the building diagonally opposite, the one with a long queue at the door is. ”

"Oooh!"

Hearing that he had found the wrong place, Leon couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Nima was scared to death, I said how I wanted to be a street sweeper, and I had to be wanted before I could join the company, it turned out that this was not the cleaning bureau I was going to.

Also, isn't there only a total of ten posts recruited this time? Why is the line so long at the Cleaning Bureau? A street sweeper job with so many people staring?

"Sorry to interrupt you."

After politely apologizing, Leon looked through the window at the long line of people in the opposite building again, and then looked at the red-haired woman with a ghostly look, and asked softly with a look of hope:

"That...... If you're short of people on your side. ”

"You're not suitable."

“……”

Looking at the suddenly dimmed expression of the sixteen or seventeen-year-old man, the red-haired woman couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and then explained:

"Although the income of the Clean-up Bureau is good, higher than that of ordinary municipal civil servants, it has a mortality rate of about 8 per 1,000, so if you are really desperate, you better not come to me."

Eight thousandths?

After hearing the somewhat cold word "mortality", Leon was not only deterred, but even had a small surprise in his eyes.

Just kidding, that's just close to one percent!

If it was in the previous life, it would have been forgotten, but now in this strange world where steam carriages are running all over the streets, those workers who do the work of burning furnaces and mines, pouring magic energy, purifying potions, etc., have a basic mortality rate of close to 2% per year, because of machine cutting and evaporation of medicines, and the number of people who are disabled or poisoned is several times greater.

According to their average "working years" of about 30 years, there are almost no workers who can work without illness and disaster for a lifetime, which is only less than 1 percent of the annual mortality rate, which is completely ......

"I probably didn't say it clearly enough."

Seeing Leon's somewhat moved expression, the red-haired woman shook her head and explained:

"The mortality rate of the Clean-up Bureau is not calculated on an annual basis, but on a monthly basis."

“……”

On a monthly basis...... Eight thousandths of a month, and that year must not be close to one-tenth? What kind of anomaly cleanup bureau is this, on average, one percent of employees die every year?!?!?!

Looking at Leon, whose eyes were full of shock, the red-haired woman shook her head slightly, and then waved her hand:

"Let's go, we only accept those who have committed capital crimes, or who have controllable 'anomalies', ordinary people like you can't cope with the work of the Cleanup Bureau, this is not for you."

"That'...... Excuse me......"

With the red-haired woman's gentle but irrefutable refusal, Leon only felt a sharp pain in his brain, and an extremely piercing buzz came from his ears.

[Due to the twentieth failed job search, you successfully activated the Black Iron badge "Unemployed Youth"]

[Unemployed youth: young people who have not been successfully employed for the time being due to insufficient education, lack of experience, or economic recession]

[Wearing Effect: When your parents talk to their peers, they will steadily trigger the special status "Blinking", which will automatically avoid topics about you]

[Advanced route: If you continue to wear this badge for more than two months and still fail to find employment, if you meet the prerequisites of living with your parents, this badge will automatically be promoted to the bronze badge "Gnawing Old Clan"]

[Hidden trait (no need to wear): When the "Unemployed Youth" badge is activated and the total family assets are less than 200 gold wheels, your probability of getting a partner of the opposite sex through blind date will automatically drop by 80%]
