He practiced in the winter and the summer. His sword intent and basic skills could only be accumulated by practicing day by day without interruption. Zhang Hao had practiced standing stance in a typhoon that could blow away a small tree as thick as a bowl, and he had also practiced the Tai Chi Two Forms Sword Art in a thunderstorm. Only those who worked hard and were serious had the ability to grasp luck. Even if you were given an immortal pill that could increase your cultivation by 60 years, ordinary people would only die from their meridians exploding.
After last night's incident, Zhang Hao decided to extend his stance time by one hour, and he would also increase his Taiji Zhen Qi cultivation by one hour at night. From the moment the Taiji Sword Technique was passed down from his ancestors, he would only perform one set of the technique every day. He could not increase his practice time. Zhang Hao believed that in this strange world, there were many strange people. The three people last night were definitely just the tip of the iceberg. If he wanted to find a way to go back, he had to survive in this world. It was urgent to improve his strength.
After he finished his stance, Zhang Hao made himself some breakfast. At the dining table, Zhang Hao was thinking while eating. It was obvious that the easiest place to obtain information in this world was definitely the Adventurers 'Guild. Now, there were two choices. One was to become an Adventurers' Guild's sommelier or attendant; The second was to become a mercenary. That way, he could properly stay in the guild and listen to the news. The possibility of the first option was not high because he could see that there were enough staff in the union. The success rate of the second option should be very high, but it was too dangerous. He still had to keep his life and go home to be filial to his parents.
After breakfast, Zhang Hao picked up his iron sword and went straight to the guild. As he had expected, there were enough wine waiters and receptionists. The second option was beyond his expectations. To become a mercenary, one had to be recommended by the guild of the current profession. In other words, one had to have a recommendation letter from the Swordsman Guild, or a certificate of having served in the army, or a noble. Nobles could join or leave the mercenary ranks at will.
Zhang Hao walked on the street with a little frustration. He remembered that when he was in the guild, he told the girl who received him,"I want to be a mercenary. What are the conditions?”
The girl glanced at him and said,"Do you want to be a thief? Please wait."
"What? Thieves?" Zhang Hao was shocked." I'm a swordsman. I use a sword."”
The girl laughed, and so did the people in the guild. " There are two types of swordsmen," the girl told him." One is a greatsword warrior who wears mail armor and holds a two-handed greatsword. The other is a knight who wears plate armor and holds a sword in his right hand and a shield in his right hand. I've never seen a swordsman in plain clothes." After saying that, the girl winked at him teasingly.
It seemed that the definition of swordsmanship in this world was completely different from that on Earth. Zhang Hao understood that his ability was indeed very suitable to be a thief. However, as a Wudang secular disciple who possessed the three ultimate skills of Taiji Genuine Qi, Cloud Ladder, and Taiji Two Forms Sword Art, he ran to another world and became a thief. Grandpa knew that he would definitely break Zhang's legs. However, that thief who could turn invisible was really powerful. Could he turn invisible and peep at women bathing?
Just as Zhang Hao's imagination ran wild, he suddenly stepped on something hard. He looked down and saw that it was a small bag. He picked it up and opened it. Tsk, tsk. It was amazing. There were more than 40 gold coins inside, and there was also a thumb-thick, crystal clear diamond. Zhang Hao turned his head and looked around. Pedestrians were still coming and going on the road. No one had noticed that he had picked up a fortune.
Zhang Hao walked to the side of the road and leaned against the wall. He waited quietly and watched the pedestrians coming and going. Not long after, a pedestrian led a horse and looked around with his head lowered. He slowly walked over. When he walked in front of him, Zhang Hao realized that this person was a very common middle-aged man with green hair and green eyes. He looked like he was looking for something lost. But how could ordinary civilians have so much money? Seeing that his clothes were very ordinary and not flashy, Zhang Hao felt a trace of suspicion in his heart.
"Sir," Zhang Hao called out to the newcomer,"did you drop a purse?"”
"Yes, how did you know?" The middle-aged man's disappointed face revealed a trace of doubt. Then, he shouted in surprise and pounced over." Did you pick it up? Please return it to me. This money is very important."”
"If it's yours, I'll naturally return it to you." Zhang Hao smiled and asked," What's in the bag?”
"43 gold coins and one Eye of Carrich.”The middle-aged man answered without thinking.
"What color is the Eye of Caric?”Zhang Hao didn't know the name of diamonds in this world.
The middle-aged man was shocked and replied with a strange expression,"" What color can it have? The Eye of Caric has no color. It's a transparent and beautiful gem.”
Zhang Hao smiled helplessly. He had been in this world for less than three months, so it was not strange that he did not know the names of many things. He returned the money bag to the middle-aged man and was about to leave when the middle-aged man grabbed the corner of his shirt. The middle-aged man took out four gold coins from the bag and handed them to Zhang Hao, saying,"Little brother, thank you. If not for you, I would have owed a debt that I would not be able to repay in my next life.”
Zhang Hao pushed the gold coin back and smiled kindly. He said lightly,""If I'm greedy, you won't be able to get this bag back.”After saying that, he turned around and waved his hand before walking away.
Before she could take five steps, the middle-aged man's voice came from behind her."I am the manager of the Adventurer's Guild. If you need help, please come to the Guild to find me.”
Zhang Hao immediately turned back and asked,"You're the manager. Can you be responsible for the recruitment of staff in the union?"”
"Although I'm not the supervisor, I still have the right to ask. What can I do for you? I'll definitely do my best to help." The middle-aged man was delighted to see Zhang Hao return.
"I want to work in the Adventurer's Guild. Can you let me be a sommelier or a waiter?”Seeing the puzzled expression on Poko Rodema's face, he smiled and asked,""Why? Is this request very strange?”
"No, I just find it strange. As you said just now, Your Excellency doesn't seem like a person who lacks money. I don't understand why Your Excellency would make such a request.”As he spoke, he sized up Zhang Hao. When he saw Zhang Hao holding a long sword, his eyes flashed.
"Hmm, how should I put it." Zhang Hao quickly came up with a reason." My grandfather lost a very important family treasure in his generation. As for what treasure it was and what it did, I can't tell you. There are many sources of information in the guild. I hope that I can work in the guild and ask for information about treasures at the same time.”
"Are you a spy from the Lakadi Empire?”The middle-aged man asked.
Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment before he laughed."Is there a spy as eye-catching as me?”Zhang Hao knew that most spies looked ordinary.
The middle-aged manager also laughed. He put his right hand on Zhang Hao's shoulder. Zhang Hao was about to use his internal strength to flick his hand away, but the middle-aged man retracted his hand first and said,"No magical waves, no aura of battle energy. He shouldn't be a spy. I'm sorry, little brother. This is a standard for our union to select staff. It's a measure to prevent spies.”
"Can't Magicians and Warriors work as staff?”Zhang Hao asked.
"Of course, but do mages and warriors need to rely on the reception staff of the union to make a living? No need, so people who knew magic and battle aura must have ulterior motives when they became the staff of the union.”The middle-aged man explained apologetically.
"A spy might not know magic or battle energy. This kind of measure doesn't seem to be effective.”Zhang Hao felt that this method of selecting people was a little wrong.
"Without magic and fighting spirit, you can't open confidential documents sealed by magic.”Poko Rodema explained with a smile.
Zhang Hao felt his face heat up. He was indeed a little rude. He didn't know anything but came to a conclusion. Pocorodma knew that Zhang Hao was embarrassed, so he changed the topic.""You should have a place to stay in the city, right?”
"Yes, there is. In an alley near the guild. I just bought it yesterday." Zhang Hao pointed in the general direction with his scabbard.
"That haunted building?" Poko Lodema was shocked.
"Eh? It seemed like that small building was very famous. You actually know about it?" Zhang Hao said emotionally.
"How could I not know? I was the previous owner of that small building.”Poko Rodema said helplessly, his eyes full of regret.
Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment. Then he asked," Then why did you move? That small building is very beautiful. The garden is also very elegant."”
"You didn't see a ghost last night, or were pranked by a ghost?”Pokolodma was very surprised. The ghost wailed in the room every night. For the sake of his daughter and son's health, he gave up the small building. Now, he still felt heartache when he thought about it.
"No, I didn't hear or see anything.”Zhang Hao laughed in his heart,"I never believe in ghosts, so ghosts naturally won't provoke me."
"Is that so?" Poko Rodema decided not to continue this topic." I can let you be a staff member, but your salary will be the same as other staff members. There will be no preferential treatment. Will you accept it?”
"Naturally." Zhang Hao nodded.
"Then follow me to the guild.”The middle-aged man thought to himself,'No matter what his reason for being a staff member is, the person who can return so much money and the Eye of Carrich is definitely not a bad person.'
Just like that, Zhang Hao got his first job in the other world. Of course, it was also his first job in his life.
