Blackwater City, the Rescue Center.

Ever since the recruitment by the so-called conscientious big company began, Dean McKenzie has been skeptical towards this company and even the entire Rescue Center.

The main reason is that the recruitment of this company seems strange, and the benefits are just too good.

A salary of two thousand a month, covering food and accommodation, and a chance for a promotion after a year of work.

Moreover, the recruitment requirements are astonishingly low. Basically, anyone who’s a person can be hired.

This kind of recruitment reminds Dean in a strange way of those dishonest apps that trick people into going for sketchy job opportunities from before he was transported.

Therefore, Dean immediately dispatched Earl.

He sent Earl to infiltrate the director’s office in the Rescue Center to investigate the situation.

To check if this recruitment was another sketchy job scam.

So, what is Earl’s current strength?

Fourth-turn level 81, of Rare Quality!

Such strength is considered top-notch in Blackwater, a city that’s not exactly big.

At least, the third-turn director in the rescue center who’s currently the strongest, won’t be able to detect Earl.

Before long, Earl delivered the data of the company into Dean’s hands.

Surprisingly, it seemed that there were no issues with the company’s data.

The company seemed to be a legitimate big company that directly collaborates with the officials of Blackwater City.

“Could it be that with the endorsement of the Blackwater City Professionals Alliance Center, it isn’t a sketchy job scam?”

Seeing the company’s information, Dean felt a bit relieved.

Yet the nagging worry in his heart was still there.

He himself couldn’t explain why.

“Regardless, there shouldn’t be any problems on the Rescue Center’s side.

From the person in charge to all staff members of the center, they’re all treating every aid recipient with love and care.

They also deeply love their job.

At least, in the eight days I’ve been here, I haven’t seen anything bad.”

Dean pondered for a moment, finally decided, “Since it’s bothering me this much, let’s go and check it out.

If it’s a good company or if it’s a scam den, I’ll know once I get there!”

Having made up his mind, Dean signed up with a young man.

It was only when Dean glanced at the registration form that he realized the young man’s name was Finch Olmedo.

Funnily enough, the two had been spending time together for several days, yet Dean knew nothing about his name even though he had been calling him “Dean” all the time.

This couldn’t be blamed on Dean. When Finch’s memory was sealed, he became a stranger to his own name too. It was only when he racked his brain during registration that he remembered his name.

Once they both registered, Finch was so excited that he couldn’t sleep that night.

He kept discussing their new job with Dean into the night.

That night, Finch even made plans for his life.

“Dean, I stealthily asked Mr. Richardson. He said that the contract the big company signed with us was for five years, and there’s a promotion ceremony every year.

Then, I’ll save up all my monthly salary.

I don’t need to spend it since the company covers food and accommodation. With two silver coins a month, that’s twenty-four a year.

If I’m lucky and succeed in getting promoted to a professional, then this money can serve as my startup fund for my professional path.

Even if I’m unlucky and fail to be promoted for five consecutive years, I could still save up one hundred and twenty silver coins.

If I’m still ambitious by then, I can grit my teeth and give it one more try.

If I lose my drive then, having this sum of money would mean I’d still be guaranteed a living, even if the company doesn’t want me after five years.

If I’m lucky and the company still wants me, I might even be able to use the money to get married!”

“Dean, have you ever been married?”

“Mr. Richardson told me that his biggest dream was to have a wife and kids. He said it was the happiest thing he can think of!

I don’t know which is more blissful, being married or being a professional.”

All night, Finch kept chattering away.

Surprisingly, Dean didn’t find him annoying. He quietly listened and even gave him a piece of advice in the end.

“Why do you have to choose? Can’t you be both a professional and a husband?

Wouldn’t that let you experience double the happiness?”

“That seems to be the case!”

Dean’s suggestion lit up Finch’s eyes, but he soon shook his head, “Nah, I’ve heard that being a professional is really dangerous.

If I get married and have children, and then I die, what would happen to them?

So it’s better not to be too greedy. Just being a husband or a professional is enough!

Having either one would be more than satisfying for me!”

Hearing Finch’s words, a smile formed on the corner of Dean’s lips.

This guy, even his dreams are gentle.

That night, Dean fell asleep in Finch’s constant chatter, under Earl’s protection.

The very next morning, several mechanical buses arrived from the Rescue Center.

Everyone who signed up got on the buses and was taken out of Blackwater City.

About thirty or forty kilometers out of the city, Dean and the others were dropped off at their destination.

Dean looked up to see four big characters: [Blackwater Mine].

Seeing those four words, and the somewhat dirty mine behind those words, Dean couldn’t help but feel startled. In the end, it turned out they were sent here to mine.

This job, well, it seems pretty alright.

Dean thought about it, it was at least a lot better than his past job in the sewers. If he had such a job back then, he wouldn’t have had to spend a good half a year in the sewers..
