Chapter 902 Integration
At dawn, Wu Chong and the Zhang brothers went to the Fangshi Guard Office to report.
The news last night was too far away for people like them. They could just watch the excitement. What was really important was to take care of themselves. The recruitment of guards is not as strict as expected. Basically, you can join the team by paying money. When a few people came over, a large number of people had gathered here, all of whom were herb collectors who wanted to change their careers.
The four of them waited in line for an hour to get their numbers and qualified to join the team.
It is difficult to be a herb gatherer, and it is equally difficult to be a guard.
Pretty jobs like guarding gates and patrolling the city are basically out of their reach, and the jobs that are given to them are also relatively dangerous jobs. The reason for the high death rate of the guards is also because of this. The dream demons outside are not easy to deal with, let alone the ones who dare to cause trouble.
"Responsible for the taxation of the surrounding Xiongmen Town?"
The area of responsibility Wu Chong and the Zhang brothers were assigned was Xiongmen Town.
They had never heard of this place, but it was definitely not in Fang City.
"Just like the herb collectors, they have to run outside, and the guards also have to deal with the wandering low-level dream demons, so the death rate is inevitably higher." Boss Zhang and his two brothers put on the newly issued guard uniforms. , opened his mouth and explained to Wu Chong.
"It's so dangerous, why do you do it?"
"Because it's a lot of money! I can get half a spirit crystal in a month, how can a herb collector compare." Zhang Laosan answered naturally.
"Besides, is it safe for people who collect herbs?"
These words left Wu Chong speechless.
Half a spiritual crystal is a month's salary, and the registration fee is two spiritual crystals. If you don’t plan for the long term, it will be a completely loss-making business! However, the Zhang brothers are all prepared to fight for guarding as a lifelong career, so it is understandable to invest some spiritual crystals.
"Work hard, and when you get familiar with it later, I can find connections to transfer you back."
Zhang Laoer is very open-minded.
Compared with the profession of herb collector, the guard obviously has more room for advancement. If you do well, you might be able to settle down in the city.
As the morning passed, several people became familiar with the basic situation of some guards.
In the afternoon it's training.
Like organized herb collectors, guards also need to be trained. The basic strength application that Wu Chong had been waiting for for a long time was also taught in the afternoon training.
"There are quite a few people."
The squad leader in armor had his hands behind his back, and his right hand was holding a leather whip in a circle.
"I hope there will still be so many people in half a year."
This person is the leader of the temporary guard training office. Wu Chong and others were trained by this person.
"From today on, you are my soldiers. Remember, my name is Jia Wu, you can call me Captain Jia, or you can call me Master Jia!"
Captain Jia Wu walked in front, looking at these new guards, and began to instill his ideas.
"yes!"
Boss Zhang took the lead and shouted.
Such a resounding answer made captain Jia Wu very satisfied. He took a special look at Boss Zhang to take note of his appearance.
"Register from now on, you start first."
Captain Jia Wu pointed at Boss Zhang standing in front and said.
"Zhang Guyi!"
"Zhang Gu Er, Zhang Gu San" Starting from the Zhang brothers, the herb collectors with longing for the future began to report their names. Wu Chong also signed up, but this time he changed his name to Wu Tietou.
"very good."
After the last person reported his name, captain Jia Wu began to continue speaking.
"I've written down all your names."
This is just a verbal talk, and it is impossible for him to remember all the 200 people.
"According to the regulations of Fang City, you people are considered temporary guards. If you want to obtain formal guard status, you have to take seven assessments. After passing the test, your monthly salary will be increased to one spiritual crystal! You will also be taught bluestone. Fang’s immortality cultivation technique, Qingshi Kung Fu.”
As he was talking, someone soon came over with a stack of contracts.
I originally thought that the skills could be obtained by joining, but I didn't expect that Qingshifang also set conditions. The first is the confidentiality regulations, and the second is to sign a work contract with Qingshifang, which requires that you have to work for the market for at least twenty years. These two points can fundamentally prevent Qingshifang's skills from leaking out, and they can be regarded as a kind of guarantee clause.
Wu Chong signed Wu Tietou's name very grandly, with the handwriting written in such a way that he didn't even recognize it.
The other herb collectors are all the same, and not even two of them can write. Most of them were ghost-drawing talismans, and the Zhang brothers even bit off their fingers and made fingerprints. Captain Jia Wu didn't take these actions seriously. He was just going through the process. What really restrained these people was not these contracts, but Qingshifang's authority backed by the Immortal Mansion.
After signing the contract, everyone is considered one of their own.
Captain Jia Wu's attitude towards them changed, and then he began to teach them some basic common sense. In addition to simple training movements, there is also a set of Qi-entraining techniques. It's not a high-end product. The real guarding skills can only be taught after the training is completed. Now these are the basics.
The following days slowly became dull.
Wu Chong trained with the crowd. During the middle time, he found an opening and went out to redraw three human skins. It was a pity that these human skins were sensed by the defenders of Fangshi as soon as they were released. After five human skins died, Wu Chong gave up this plan.
The world here monitors the power on the other side of the Chaos Sea extremely strictly. Before a solution is found, the clone plan will be discontinued.
In addition to these, Wu Chong also discovered that the immortal cultivators here have another different set of qualification testing methods.
People with high qualifications will use energy several times or even dozens of times higher than those with poor qualifications. If a person with good qualifications is given a piece of spiritual stone to practice, they may achieve a breakthrough on the spot. But for people with poor qualifications who use spiritual stones to practice, the effect may be only one percent of others. This subtle gap will gradually be magnified with the improvement of cultivation.
Especially after becoming an immortal, the throughput of resources is terrifying.
At this time, any small gap will be magnified to an exaggerated level.
Wu Chong and his group of herb pickers all have useless qualifications, and even the best boss Zhang can't catch the eye of captain Jia Wu. With the qualifications of this group of people, let alone using spiritual stones to practice, using spiritual crystals is a waste! At most, it's just spiritual meaning.
Another day of training is over.
A group of herb collectors gradually adapted to the guards' schedules and living habits, and their behavior and cognition have changed greatly from before. As for strength, no one has qualified until now. The seven assessments mentioned by captain Jia Wu when he first joined the team, except for the qualification assessment, the remaining six have not yet started.
According to what captain Jia Wu said, these people must be trained strictly and can only be released after half a year.
During the training period, they are not paid, and not only that, they also have to pay the training office for food. That is to say, the Zhang brothers made a fortune before joining the team, otherwise they might not be able to complete training and be kicked out.
Nearly one-third of them were fired because they had no money to pay for food. Everyone finally understood why Captain Jia said at first that he hoped there would be so many people in half a year. It turns out it’s not the reason for training, but the money! (End of chapter)
