Chapter 29: Dormitory
Sage had gathered his things and was issued some housing. Finding his way down the streets he found that other than varying types of restaurants there werent many other types of businesses spread throughout the city. Just as Bi Shunfu had said, most business seemed to be conducted at the Central Plaza. Making his way to his new home, Sage stepped into the listed address and found himself in a walled off yard. Within the outer walls was a large building that had its own courtyard, four bedrooms, a kitchen, bathrooms, and a pair of common rooms. Behind the building and still within the walled off yard was a large training area with training equipment set up on racks and shelves.
Sage was exploring the place when he heard the sound of the gate opening along with voices and footsteps. Walking back towards the entrance he saw three teenagers and greeted them with a clasped fist. It was a gesture used by martial artists and cultivators. The hands were put in front of the chest like a christian prayer except one hand was clenched into a fist and pressing into the other palm.
Greetings Elder Martial Brothers, I am Lang Sheng.
It was quite strange to use these titles, especially when he knew he was at least five years older than each of the three boys in front of him yet still had to call them Elders since he was brand new to the Sect. Chuckling the three introduced themselves as Yuan Hu, Geng He, and Qiu Hou. After learning that these three were his new roommates, Sage was eager to learn more about them.
As our new roommate, we need to welcome you to our Holy Flame Sect with a feast! Lets go out and get some drinks!
Sage always forgot that in this world drinking was completely acceptable as soon as someone was a teenager so their offer was not unreasonable. Accepting the invitation he walked along with them as they pointed out the houses of famous people in the sect and chatted about what streets the most beautiful girls lived on. They walked into a restaurant called Delicious Dream which the three told him was named after their favorite wine that was only served here. After the four of them had been drinking and learning about each other for a while Qiu Hou, who seemed to be the most rambunctious of the three, asked for Sages age before making a joke.
Youre so old, Junior Brother Sheng. We joined the Holy Flame Sect last year but youre still so much older than us!
Grabbing one of the wooden slips, Sage took a closer look. Stock Boy at the Alchemy Hall. The pay was a full five hundred contribution points per months but it also required thirty hours a week of labor. Most of the other jobs only required sixty to ninety hours a month and paid around three hundred points per month. It seems most people would rather move to an outer town and have monthly instead of weekly work requirements.
Even though Holy Flame Sect focused on Professions, most cultivators still like to have uninterrupted periods to train, concentrate on a breakthrough, or craft something complicated. Having such high weekly work requirements made this position undesirable, especially since the pay wasnt any higher than other jobs. Bringing the job up to the desk, Sage was happy he wouldnt have to move. Hed just met the other three and was starting to warm up to them already.
Making his way over to the Alchemy Hall, he was greeted with a sneer, Oh great. Another clueless yokel, and hes old too!
Sage was about to introduce himself when the disciple in front of him shook his head, Dont even bother, you probably wont even last a week so I dont need to know your name. Your job is to properly sort, categorize, weigh, measure and store all of the materials that are brought here on a daily basis.
He took Sage to the storeroom, each of the walls was covered by massive cabinets with innumerable drawers each with a glowing stone attached to the front that listed a name and quantity. The man was known as Ma Yuzhu and he was a clerk at the Alchemy Hall. There was more than one clerk and stock boy at each of the Halls, Sage just seemed to have got unlucky enough to run into this guy first. Yuzhu did not seem too happy about having to explain the duties to Sage and he was quite concise.
Each drawer is like a storage bag that requires no owner. Since you took this job youre allowed in, but the times youre here are recorded so dont think about stealing anything! All you have to do is put the materials into their proper drawers. Now pay attention, you may think you have to work thirty hours a week but thats not really true. This job has a task requirement, not a time requirement. Thirty hours is only an estimate for someone who knows their stuff. An idiot like you will probably take a hundred.
Pointing over to a set of long tables covered in small boxes and baskets, Ma Yuzhu laughed, Heres your first task! Put it all away. Make sure to pack each portion properly and update the storage containers when you add them in. Dont screw it up or youll not only get no pay, youll owe us contribution points!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
