Also get a partner...... If I can't find a job, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get a piece of bread!

After leaving the Sixth Cleanup Bureau with a black face and joining the long queue in front of the Cleanup Bureau, looking at the new badge shining on the virtual panel, the unemployed young man Leon couldn't help but sigh faintly.

The good news is that I'm not only a handle, but even a hanger.

BAD NEWS, THIS HANGS DON'T SEEM TO BE VERY USEFUL FOR THE TIME BEING, AND EVEN OCCASIONALLY COMES WITH A STRANGE DEBUFF ON MY BACK......

After staring at the jet-black [Unemployed Youth] badge and the entry with a blind date success rate of -80% for a while, Leon slowly "squirmed" with the long line at the door of the cleaning bureau and set his eyes on the other two badges that were in a state of "wearing".

On the virtual panel that accompanied him to this world, there were a total of three badge slots, and on the middle slot, one badge was shimmering a dull dark cyan, and it exuded a warm and gentle meaning.

[Trustworthy Brother (Bronze): Due to the early death of your parents in the family, you took on the responsibility of taking care of your younger siblings very early, and you are a responsible and reliable brother, so you are deeply loved by your younger siblings in the family]

[Wearing effect: When talking to minors younger than you, the other party will easily have a sense of trust in you, and when emotional, it is easy to trigger a special state of "confiding in your heart" to confide in you the bitterness and secrets in your heart]

[Advanced Route: None yet]

[Hidden Feature: Inactive]

And next to this "good brother" badge is a red badge with a fiery color that is even more dazzling than the sun.

[Materialist soul (heterochromatic, crimson, unable to upgrade): As a staunch materialist, you firmly believe that matter is the basis of objective existence, spiritual and conscious phenomena are the products of matter, and all incomprehensible things come from your own understanding of the world is not accurate and profound.

[Wearing effect: For the things and knowledge that you can understand, through your own analysis and thinking, you can quickly familiarize yourself with and master it, and according to your own understanding level when using, you can get additional effect improvements;

For things and knowledge that you can't understand, by expanding the boundaries of your own cognition, you can immediately obtain some information related to them, and reduce the influence from the other party according to your own level of understanding when encountering.

[Advanced Route: You have reached the highest level, and you cannot continue to advance]

[Hidden Feature: Inactive]

“……”

Just looking at the description, this heterochromatic badge seems remarkable, but in reality it is not at all.

This badge was only triggered once at the beginning, and it helped me master the language of this world in three days, to the point where I was able to communicate normally, and then it was as if it didn't exist, and there was no movement.

But even if the trigger difficulty is very high, your badge plug-in is definitely not something within the "normal" range, and I don't know if it's a controllable "abnormality" that the red-haired woman said? If so, maybe I'm a good fit for that clean-up bureau?

Unable to help but look back and look in the direction of the Clean-up Bureau, Leon shook his head quickly, completely dispelling this ridiculous idea.

Don't be stupid, that's a 10 percent annual mortality rate!

And depending on the attitude of the other party, the clean-up bureau is definitely not a department that can be withdrawn casually, and if you don't do it, as long as you join, you will have to work for a lifetime.

Now I am less than 17 years old, if I can retire after working until 60, then I will have to work for more than 40 years, and the mortality rate can reach more than 90 percent, which can almost be said to be a certain death!

It would be better if he was alone, after all, this life was originally tantamount to being picked up for nothing, rather than suffering from the underground mine furnace refining medicine, being a laborer for decades to get sick, and then like those neighbors who lived in Veterans Lane, he was first emptied of his few savings by injuries and illnesses, and then thrown into the aisles of the hospital, lying on those hospital beds full of vomit and waiting for death, it is better to get out now and fight with this rotten life!

Can...... Now there are a total of four people in his family, two of the younger ones are not yet high to their waists, and although the older sister is only one year younger than herself, she has been weak since she was a child, and because of a drug leakage accident, she has inhaled a lot of alchemy exhaust gases, and her lung disease has not been good intermittently, and she can't do heavy work at all.

I can go out and fight hard, but if I die in that clean-up bureau, eighty percent of the family will first burn one big one to death, and then slowly starve to death two small ones, and the last one of the four members of the family will not survive!

"!"

Thinking of this, Leon couldn't help but raise his head, looked at the team in front of him, and then gritted his back molars hard, and viciously spat at the bluestone floor tiles carved with delicate patterns under his feet.

"This dog-day world!"

……

As the sun set, the dim afterglow fell through the clouds mixed with alchemy exhaust gases on the dirty streets of the royal capital, and under someone's unusually heavy footsteps, it was trampled and crushed little by little, until it was completely dark.

After waiting in line for more than two hours and undergoing several rounds of inspections and questioning, an unemployed young man was unsurprisingly eliminated.

Even if Leon gave up his dignity that had been thrown away a long time ago, he grabbed the interviewer's sleeve and promised that he would be able to do the job, so he almost knelt down and begged on the spot.

But seeing that Leon was obviously thinner than his peers because of malnutrition, the fat official in charge of the selection didn't even bother to respond, and directly slapped him away, then moved to the next applicant, pinched the other party's arms and thighs in disgust, and then buckled a red poke on the man's black and thin chest......

Damn it!

Recalling the scene when he didn't treat people as human beings, almost like picking animals, Leon couldn't help but habitually grit his back molars, and then let out a heavy breath of depression that could not be stored in his heart.

Even though I've been here for almost three years, I still can't get used to all the fuck.

Although I didn't have any great achievements in my previous life, my parents and the whole family were harmonious, and I lived peacefully for half of my life, and the biggest bump in my life was just a few scolding words by my boss, and I was thrown into this damn world in a blink of an eye, and I had to do my best to live even the simplest......

Forget it, instead of thinking about this, it's better to think about where to find some work tomorrow and find a way to subsidize the family.

Seeing that turning the corner in front of him was the Veteran's Alley where his family lived, Leon couldn't help but stop, rubbing his stiff face vigorously, and finally managed to squeeze out a little smile on his face.

Struggling to keep a smile on his face, Leon expertly walked into the poorly lit alley, and walked briskly through the dirty old street full of miscellaneous items in the darkness to the low hut in the southeast corner.

Just as he stood still at the door of his house, and raised his hand to knock on the door, the old iron door, which was rusty and much older than him, suddenly opened, revealing a fair face that was pretty and delicate, but with an obvious sickly face.

"Brother."

After calling Leon, before the thin and thin girl had time to ask about the situation, she saw her brother outside the door frowning, and scolded with a serious face:

"Didn't I say several times not to open the door to people?"

"I didn't open the door randomly."

The girl who was reprimanded was not angry, and while taking Leon's coat and patting it gently, she said with a smile:

"I recognize your footsteps, I'll only open the door early when you come back."

"That's not going to work either!"

After hearing the thin girl's words, Leon couldn't help but feel a touch of warmth in his indignant heart, but he still taught with a straight face:

"It's not as chaotic as the slums in the outer city, but it's not without bad guys, what if you hear it wrong?"

How could you have misheard......

After hearing Leon's words, the thin girl couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Even in the generally difficult Veteran's Alley, there are few people with such heavy footsteps as the eldest brother, especially after surviving the serious illness three years ago, the eldest brother's footsteps have become heavier and heavier, even in his sleep, he can hear his footsteps as if he was carrying a thousand pounds of burden.

However, although she was confident that she would never be mistaken, the thin girl did not argue with Leon, but took his coat and hung it up, and then went into the kitchen and brought the still hot dinner.

When Leon sat down at the table with a tired face, lowered his head and began to gobble up, she sat down at the old table with a lame leg, her white thin arms on her thin cheeks, and her eyes softly gazed at Leon, who was munching on a simple stew.

It's so late, why don't you go and get a good rest, what are you doing watching me eat?

Leon, who had been hungry all day and was a little anxious to eat, was a little uncomfortable by his sister, and after coughing dryly, he said softly: "What about the two little ones?" Slept? ”

"Hmm."

The thin girl nodded lightly when she heard this, and leaned forward with a gentle smile on the tip of her chin.

"When the sun first set, they were clamoring to wait for you to come back before going to sleep, but after a while they all started to rub their eyes, and finally they slept next to the dining table, and I just carried them back to sleep."

"Don't worry about it next time."

Glancing at his sister's white and almost bloodless face, Leon couldn't help but shake his head and said:

"You are not in good health, the two younger ones have grown up a lot in the past two years, if you do this next time, you can let them fall asleep first, and then carry them back when I come back, and cover them with a thin blanket to keep them from catching a cold."

"Uh-huh."

The thin girl answered softly twice, still not arguing with Leon, just smiled and nodded, and gently leaned forward to probe the tip of her chin, directly accepting the concern from the eldest brother.

I just didn't listen to it......

Seeing her like this, Leon couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

For this sister who is pure and weak in appearance, but in fact has a stubborn temperament, he has always had no way, and he didn't say anything more when he saw that he couldn't persuade him, but after eating dinner silently, he said with some hesitation:

"...... Today"

"It's late today."

After interrupting Leon's words, the thin girl spoke first:

"The Ministry of Highways is so far away, and you are reluctant to pay for the ticket, you must have walked over, if you have to go out tomorrow, then it is time to rest."

“……”

"Hmmm......"

Knowing that his sister had seen that he had failed in his job search again, Leon couldn't help but sigh, and then frowned and said:

"It's useless if I can ......"

"Brother!"

"Uh-huh, I'm not going to say it."

Clenching his fists hard, deciding to redouble his efforts tomorrow and find a job anyway, Leon got up and put away his plate, walked towards his hut, and after tossing and turning for a while, finally fell asleep with a stomach full of sorrow.

However, before dawn, the sleeping Leon was woken up by a violent coughing sound like bellows, accompanied by the hoarse cries of two small families in the house.

"Brother! Get up! Hurry up! ”
