Hunter x Hunter: The Ubiquitous Dragon Life

Back in Rietta, Cellulu began to think about her next plan. For her, no matter how different the worlds are, how different the social forms, how different the level of civilization development, life is life and can’t be separated from it. There are four basic elements of clothing, food, housing, and transportation. To obtain these things, you cannot do without the equivalent exchange, which is the so-called money. Except for the barter in primitive society, any world needs money if you want to live, unless you use improper means. Otherwise, only by their own labor can be exchanged.

As for Celluloid, who just died with Nakali, she doesn't want to have close contact with people for the time being, so she doesn't plan to find another "relative" to live with. Therefore, it is imperative to find a temporary place first, and then Find a job that can maintain food and clothing as soon as possible. If you can settle down, then you must speed up the learning of the words and languages ​​here, and strive for an early understanding. The last thing is to investigate whether the city is worth living for a long time.

Although she was forced to leave her temporary place of living every two months, it was unbearable for Cellulu to always wander around and live too volatile. Therefore, if a city met her requirements very well, Celluloid usually stays until she can no longer hide her anomaly before leaving, which is usually around five or six years.

But to see whether a city is suitable for life, urban infrastructure, customs, price and consumption index, job opportunities, urban crime rate, etc. are all the most important things to consider. And when shopping and shopping.

For this job, Celluloid can be said to be quite familiar with it. Having traveled most of the city by public transportation, she soon discovered something bad.

After dealing with Nakali's estate, she only left herself 50,000 yuan as a mobile fund, because Scarri's prices are very cheap, and the normal monthly expenses are around 70,000 or 80,000 yuan. If you add housing And so on, the cap is no more than 100,000. Cellulu originally planned to use the money to spend half a month in Rietta, and then find a job during this time. When the income is stable, she can rely on herself. After all, she didn't want to take too much money from Nakali, and her inheritance was only 700,000 to 800,000. Considering the long cycle of entrusting Aunt Yuli to look after the tomb, the money was actually not enough.

However, after comparing the commodity prices and hotel information here, she had to realize with dismay that she had wrongly estimated the consumption level and price index of the two places. She originally thought that even if there were differences, it would not be too different. A lot, but in Rietta, 50,000 is only enough to spend for four or five days. If you save the money for the hotel, although it can barely last half a month, it will have many inconveniences.

And while visiting the city, she also noticed one thing. The business scope of this city is very concentrated, most of which are shops selling high-tech products, which made her feel a little bit about the upcoming job search. disturbed.

After digging east and west, Cellul found a place in the city that was similar to a slum area. The price of rent and food in this area is cheaper than the city center. After settling in a dilapidated hotel, Cellul Lying on the bed in the hotel, Lu started to read all the newspapers in the city that she bought on the way. This is an excellent source of information to get a first glimpse of the current situation of a city and to find job opportunities.

The news in the newspapers is full of what new products a company has developed, how much more efficient than the original products of the same kind, what a company has made a major breakthrough in a certain field, new technologies are expected to be applied in the commercial field, what A company's annual new product launch conference, what high-tech products will be launched, are full of similar technology news, a large number of professional terms make Celluloid look like mosquito coils, with a look of confusion.

Jumping over these news with a headache, Cellulo already has a trace of certainty in her heart. It is estimated that the next job will not be so easy to find. Sure enough, more than 70% of the recruitment information is related to high-tech jobs. There are very few jobs that are low-demand and low-tech.

With a sigh, Celluloid circled the possible job information on the newspaper, and decided to call tomorrow to ask, and then try her luck on the street to see if she can find other job information.

--------------------------------------------------

In the past two or three days, I have been running around the city streets and alleys all day looking for work. Cellulo has a little understanding of this city. Rietta is a city famous for the research and development and manufacture of high-tech products, and its core pillar industry is high-tech. Technology products, more than 80% of the companies in the city focus on technology products, and the high-tech civilian and military products they produce are quite competitive in the whole world. cutting-edge technology in the world.

Too concentrated business scope leads to too concentrated demand for staff, which is also the reason why most of the recruitment information in the newspapers that Cellulo has seen are high-tech related jobs, and the most jobs are recruited by the production departments of major companies. Production workers, but even this requires applicants to be familiar with relevant production equipment and hold relevant vocational qualification certificates.

A large number of elites came to Rietta for development, which also caused considerable pressure on the city's employment. Many people who could not find jobs smoothly had to switch to some low-skilled jobs, which in turn exacerbated low-skilled and low-skilled jobs. Competitive pressures for paid jobs.

Although it is not a particularly suitable city to live in, Cellulu doesn't want to leave in a hurry. Part of the reason is that she doesn't know much about the world, and she doesn't want to start a journey without a plan, but the more important reason is that Cellulu is a person who is quite resigned to the situation. As long as she can bear it, she will not think about changing. Of course, this kind of personality can also be said to be more submissive, but in any case, Cellulu decided to stay in this city for two years. months.

Since she didn't want to live for a long time, she just stayed for a short time, so Celluloid gave up the way of looking for a formal job, and began to pay attention to some odd jobs or daily dispatch jobs. Fortunately, there are still quite a lot of such jobs. It is unstable and the salary is low. Usually, those who work in this type of work are students and the like, but it is more in line with the current external image of Celluloid, and the status of such work will be relatively loose.

When it comes to identity, when looking for a job, Cellulu found that the world is very strict with identity checks, and there are many places where that document needs to be used.

Celluloid is a natural black household, and it is impossible to have an identity in this world. Identity is not a big problem for Celluloid when living in some worlds, and it is easy to get mixed up, especially in some worlds with relatively backward civilization development. Due to low productivity and rapid population movement, the identity check system is not very strict.

But in a world with a higher degree of civilization development, because the social system is quite sound, the registration of identity and the like is more rigorous, and even to the point where it is almost impossible to walk without identity, this world belongs to this type, long-distance travel tickets, accommodation Everyone needs an identity; looking for a job, as long as it is a regular worker, even a dishwashing worker needs to register the employee's identity information and enter it into the city's various security systems. Medical care, housing, banking, basically everything requires identification before doing business.

When registering for this hotel, Cellulu took Nakali's ID card and let the other party think it was her ID card, because this kind of small hotel does not need to log the passenger's identity into the computer system, although Cellulu Lu can control people's minds to give people the illusion, but she can't control the computer system. Once it is entered into the computer system, it will be helpful. There will always be someone who notices the mistake. Celluloid can't control everyone, so find a copy. A regular job is indeed quite reluctant for the current Celluloid.

I remember that when I first came to this world, Cellulu tried Nakali about how to get a new identity, but the answer from the other party was surprisingly firm. There are no people without identity in this world, even if they are abandoned babies, At the moment of birth, a national number is also issued and recorded in the library, which is used worldwide and can be verified through the Internet.

Cellulu does not believe that the system of a world will be perfected to such a degree that there will be surprises in everything, but ordinary people will not know about such things. She has also tried to search for information such as handling false certificates on the Internet, but It actually shows that there is no one, but the more this is the case, the more sure that Celluloid must have it. After all, it is too clean and it is not normal. However, because there is too little information at hand, and there is no way, how to obtain an identity is still for Celluloid. is a difficult problem.

The odd job was quickly found. One was a mobile phone promotion lady. Since the recruiting company had just released a new type of mobile phone, it required a large number of people to carry out intensive marketing promotion. It only took two months and worked three to five times a day. During the hours, I distributed leaflets and assisted the official sales staff to do some auxiliary work. The salary offered by the other party was also quite good, and it was a daily payment, which was very suitable for Celluloid.

The second job is in the middle of the night, only for a month, every day from 2:00 to 4:00. Due to road maintenance work, Celluloid needs to be the road traffic conductor. The salary is also quite generous. The two odd jobs combined are more than enough to maintain daily life. .

----------------------------------------

Rietta, the commercial street of Crete, the bustling crowd moves on the street, the crowd keeps pouring out from the department stores on both sides, and another group of people pours into the building in a blink of an eye. Extraordinary sight.

A girl with long aqua blue hair with a ponytail shuttled through the crowd, constantly handing out the flyer in her hand to the tourists around her, with a sweet smile on her face, and her mouth kept repeating.

"Hello, Keqi company's new mobile phone, powerful and fashionable, please take a look,"

Fine beads of sweat rolled down from the girl's forehead from time to time. The weather was extremely hot these days, and it was quite hard to work outside. Needless to say, this girl was naturally a celluloid working part-time worker.

Celluloid's working location is not fixed, sometimes it is on the street outside the department store, just like now, sometimes assisting the sales staff at the mobile phone counter, sometimes going to the company's specialty store, and of course at the company headquarters. At that time, the company had cutting-edge technology and its products were very popular, so its strength was quite strong. Therefore, it had its own building in a prime location in the city center. The six floors below were used as general shopping malls. The floors are all office floors. Except for the production department, which is not here, all other departments are concentrated in one building.

For three weeks, she has been doing repetitive and simple things endlessly every day. She is a little tired from work. She is now in a state of emptying her mind. Some people will take it away with interest, some people will just ignore Celluloid’s hand and walk over, and some people will stop and ask some questions after reading the leaflet. For example, someone asks now:

"Well, it looks good, have you used it, how do you feel?"

A clear male voice, every word spit out has a strange upward jumping feeling, so it always sounds a kind of cheerful taste.

"I can't even afford a mobile phone, how could I have used such an expensive thing."

Cellulu came back to her senses after subconsciously answering the other party's question, she immediately looked at the other party as if to make amends, and responded quickly.

"I'm sorry, although I haven't used it, but we sell this phone quite well, and the feedback from customers has also been very good, so I believe it should be very good."

She explained with a smile, Cellulu looked at the boy in front of her, it should be a boy, she was not sure, the other person was quite tall, about 1.8 meters, wearing a black casual T-shirt and loose pants of the same color, with exposed arms He looks quite sturdy and looks like an adult man, but seeing the other person's face made Cellulu hesitate. Brown hair, green eyes, and a baby face made him look only sixteen years old. Right and left, at this time he was looking at himself with a smile.

"Sure enough, Westerners are developing very well, and such a young boy is so tall and strong." She took it for granted that the other party was a Westerner, and she went ahead and defined the other party's age.

"But he's really a cute boy, a handsome sunny guy."

Being stared at by the young man with such a bright smile on his face made Cellullu feel happy and comfortable, and his goodwill towards this young man was instantly up.

Because of the good mood, Cellulu even laughed a lot more than before. Pointing to the department store behind her, she continued to add to the boy in front of her.

"If you're interested, you can go to the fifth floor of the Meri department store and have a look. There is a sales counter for this kind of mobile phone, where you can actually use it and feel it."

"Uh~~En~~" The boy thought for a while with a smile, and then said to Cellulu with a hearty smile.

"Then I'll take a look, lovely lady, goodbye."

With the flyer in his hand, the boy turned around, and instead of walking towards the department store behind him, he continued to walk forward, and he disappeared into the crowd after a while.

Although it was a little strange why the boy didn't go to the department store, it was the customer's own business. After a while, Cellulu forgot the episode just now and continued to distribute her flyers in earnest.
