"Thump, thump, thump . "

Uncle Bucky and Sanko, who lived next door, came to Good's mud hut at dawn and knocked on the door .

"Good, did you get up? We should go!"

"I'll be ready in a moment!"

Good gobbled down his porridge and wiped his mouth . "I've got to get going," he said to a girl who was busy making the bed .

She looked up and asked, "Why don't you want me to go with you?"

"I've told you many times . You're too young to have a job here," Good said impatiently . "Stop talking about how you worked back in the Kingdom of Wolfheart . Do you still want to do those kinds of things? Stay at the house and I'll bring you something delicious for lunch . "

The girl's eyes shone with excitement . "Popcorn—"

"It's too expensive . I think an egg pancake is tasty enough or are you saying you don't like the taste of a nice pan fried runny egg?"

The girl felt her mouth watering .

"So just stay at the house, do you understand?" Before leaving the hut, Good asked the girl, "What's your name now?"





"Rachel . "

"And what should you call me?"

She replied after a little hesitance, "Bro-Brother . "

"Very well, don't forget it . " Good wrapped a linen cloth around his neck and pushed the door open . A cold wind blew across his face . It was a freezing cold morning, but the temporary residential area was already full of vigor and vitality .

Rows of mud huts stretched throughout the snowfield like rolling waves . Wisps of smoke continuously rose from the huts and people were busy with all kinds of preparations . Through the smoke, he could just make out the vague shape of the city on the other side of the river . When the temporary residential area began to hum, the city was still so quiet that it seemed as if it was sleeping .

Uncle Bucky and Sanko, who stood a few dozen paces away from Good, yelled, "What're you looking at? Come on!"

"I'm coming!" He closed the door of his hut and ran towards them .

A new stone road along the Redwater River had been opened to traffic recently . Now, people from the temporary residential area only needed 15 minutes to walk to downtown Neverwinter, which was about 2,000 meters away . This was different from taking a mountain path covered by snow as they did not need to take cautious steps walking on this road in the winter . But since Good and his neighbors wanted to get to the central square before the release of the new recruitment notice, they still set off early .

Soon, they picked up many companions along the way . These people were also immigrants living in the temporary residential area . This area was so large that Good could never see the end of it . According to his neighbor, these mud huts for immigrants used to be built inside the city, but, after a while, the city had not been able to accommodate all the new comers and had decided to move all the mud huts to this area . Every year, the government would build new huts for the new immigrants, so no one knew exactly how many immigrants lived here at the moment .

The only thing that Good knew for certain was that most of the people on this road were heading for the central square, wanting to find jobs .

"Have you thought about what kind of job you want?" asked Uncle Bucky .

"I want an easy, simple job, such as the snow sweeping and the de-icing job . . . " Sanko replied while rubbing his head . "I prefer to make some quick cash to support myself this winter, so I like part-time jobs . If I get that kind of job, the money that I earn in a day can buy enough food for two days . Of course, I'll also consider some other jobs if there are suitable positions in the special recruitment program . "





The special recruitment programs usually offered better pay and had specific prerequisites . Actually, the city was full of various kinds of prerequisites, all job recruitment notices were issued by the Administrative Office instead of some individual . Every week, the office would update the notice and it would include hundreds of positions . Good was really impressed by their efficiency .

But compared to the other fascinating things in this city, these timely and detailed recruitment notices were nothing .

There were three kinds of recruitment programs: the special recruitment program, part-time job recruitment and full-time job recruitment . A full-time job could provide higher pay and a more promising future, but an immigrant, who did not have an ID card or a diploma in primary education, was not eligible to apply for these kinds of jobs . Most newcomers could only choose to take part-time jobs to support themselves .

Sanko was taking elementary education classes at night . If he passed the assessment, he would be able to become an official resident and get an ID card . Given his situation, he intended to find a part-time job . It did not pay well, but it would not take up too much of his time . .

"What about you?" Sanko looked at Good .

"I need a well-paid job . " Good shrugged . "I don't mind hard work . "

Good needed to support Rachel .

They had come to the city during this winter . They already felt lucky enough to have a mud hut . For them, it was still too much to hope for a nice residence or eating one meat-based meal every week .

The only thing that disappointed Good was that Rachel was only 14 and did not meet the minimum working age requirement of 16 . But since they had exerted a great deal effort to get out of a difficult situation, he did not want her to lead a hard life anymore .

"Don't get too tired," Uncle Bucky said . "It's easy to get sick during the winter . Medical treatment is expensive . "

"Relax, I'm in good health!" Good patted his chest . He was not bragging . If it had not been for his humble origins, he would have become a squire to a knight a long time ago . "What are you going to do, Uncle?"

"I just came to accompany you guys . "





"What?" Sanko was startled .

Good quickly thought of something . "Did you already . . . "

"Aha, that's it . " Uncle Bucky laughed out . "The foreman of the sixth engineering team has agreed to hire me . The contract will be delivered to me in two days . "

"That's really . . . awesome!" Sanko exclaimed . "It's a full-time job . Your salary will be doubled! And soon you'll have enough money to pay the down payment . After that, you'll become an official resident of Neverwinter and get your ID card!"

"Yeah, that's the only way for me to get an ID . I'm too old to learn how to read and write . " Bucky waved his hand . "And I've been here for almost two years before I got this chance . I can only say that I'm too stupid . In this city, you young guys will get many more opportunities than me . "

Some people around them heard their conversation and came over to congratulate Uncle Bucky as he was going to become a subject of the king very soon .

Good felt a little confused seeing this .

In his opinion, obtaining an ID card was just a way to find a better job, but these people seemed to care more about the identity than the job . It sounded as if all of them thought it was a great honor to become a subject of His Majesty .

They chatted all the way to the central square .

A group of people had already gathered in the square, but most of them were residents of the city and they didn't usually compete with immigrants for jobs .

A new recruitment notice was put up in the south side of the square . Every now and then, a child would come to them and ask, "Do you need me to read the notice to you? Only ten bronze royals . "

"No, thanks . We can read," Bucky replied with a smile . In fact, among the three men, only Sanko had learned how to read and write, but even he still had a hard time reading .

"Why are these guys peddling in this place? They can read, so they should be able to get real jobs," Good mumbled . "They can earn much more by doing that . "

"They must be students from the school that haven't reached the working age . " Sanko looked around and explained .

"What?"

"Yeah, I've heard about it in my night class . " Sanko lowered his voice . "To show the students the importance of knowledge, the teachers often encourage them to use what they've learned to make money . By doing so, the teachers attract even more students to the school . I also want to try when I don't have to work in the daytime . "

"Ugh . . . if this is okay, maybe I should let Rachel come here to make some money . She can read," Good thought while glancing at the children .

"Hey, look there!" Uncle Bucky suddenly pointed to the southern tip of the square . "There are a lot of people!"

"Is it a special recruitment program?" Good exchanged a knowing look with Sanko .

"Hurry up . Let's go there to have a look!"

The three men immediately ran to the southern side of the square . There was a person with a tent behind him, who came to explain the program to everyone .

Good felt thrilled after hearing the person describe the program .

It was indeed a special recruitment program and it seemed to be unprecedentedly easy . It did not require a diploma or an ID . It only needed men in good health, who could pass a series of assessments . The names of the assessments sounded so strange that Good could not understand any of them, but he was confident that he could meet any physical fitness requirement .

The most surprising fact about this program was that it was actually a military recruitment .
