During the following week, I resud a sort of routine. Since Suuru was happy just monitoring the workshop construction, I handled food sales in 6. It was going smoothly, maybe even more than in 82. Every day, more people beca aware of my stand and ca to buy from . The best part was that it didn’t induce jealousy from other rchants, as the city was large enough that acquiring a few regular clients for myself didn’t make much of a difference overall.
The workshop building was taking shape quickly, especially with the client always looking over the work. Suuru managed to win so points with the workers by providing lunch with drinks for them. It was a brilliant idea, proving that she learned a lot about handling people after her experience selling crops in the market.
Not everything was going well, unfortunately. My job advertisent didn’t attract anyone, in either do. I had no choice but to remove them at the end of the week since the space rental ended.
Wanting to understand what went wrong, I asked one of the civil servants in 6’s city hall about it. The answer that ca back was that I had targeted the wrong do. While it wasn’t impossible to recruit a selnic engineer in do 6, and maybe in do 82 if one was lucky, these places were far from ideal. 82 was a countryside do and 6 was focused on dicine and pharmaceutical developnt. If I wanted to find a selnic engineer, I needed to go to do 2, or at least post a recruitnt offer there.
Do 2 specialized in anything selnic related, including technical universities and engineering schools. They had research centers founded by the governnt, developnt teams, and large factories. Overall, they produced more than 40% of all selnic items circulating in the dos and hosted the largest tech companies in humanity.
Strong with this new knowledge, I bought yet another expensive gate ticket and traveled to this new do. Being one of the single-digit dos, it was as large as 6, and maybe even slightly larger. One of the reasons why it beca such a hub for selnic developnt was that it lacked resources compared to other dos. It was located in a cold place, and farming didn’t bring much food throughout the year. It also lacked any other natural resources and thus had no other choice but to specialize in a highly profitable sector such as selnic production.
Selnic items were critical for the dos, including any technology that allowed for resource recycling. It was believed that without them, the dos would have imploded long ago.
When I reached do 2, I first went outside the city hall to look at the landscape. The architectural style was yet again different, with buildings having solid stone walls, well isolated from the outside. The temperature was much colder here, and I shivered a little due to having light clothes on. The people were also of another nature, taller than in 82 and 6, and covered by two or three layers of clothing, their breaths condensing in front of them.
I ca back inside the city hall and moved sel to my ears. This place used yet another language, and I pondered whether I should learn it or not. For the ti being, I asked one of the civil servants to translate my job ad against a small fee before renting space for one week on the notice board.
My efforts proved to be correct. On the very next day, soone was waiting for
in front of the board at the indicated ti. Glad that I finally managed to get a catch, I ran a quick check on my potential future employee.
Object: human woman.
Wealth level: wearing plain pants and a simple shirt, 35 and 25 lods respectively. Wealth is impossible to quantify, but probably not leaning toward poverty.
Power level: amount of sel in her body: between 3300 and 3500, rank 3, tal affinity. Muscle power: less than 10. Estimated to be a tal mage. Adding a two-factor multiplier to account for hidden moves and trump cards. Estimated maximum power level at 7500: fledgling thinks they got power. Harmful potential: dium.
She had short brown hair and calm brown eyes, watching
as I ca closer to her. Her height was similar to mine, which made her tall compared to her peers. Her body lines were plentiful, proof that she didn’t lack nutrition, at least. She was holding a small rectangular bag in her hand, the kind that possessed a practical design without any unnecessary fanciness.
I gave her my best professional smile as we both put sel into our ears to converse.
“Hello. Are you here for the selnic engineering job?”
“Correct.”
“Nice to et you. I’m Tila Urtek, the person who posted the job advertisent.”
The inner world didn’t have any specific way to greet people, except smiling and maybe nodding at them. There were no complicated hand movents, touching, or hugging as it existed in so of the countries in my world.
“My na is Minsto Baimart. Nice to et you.”
She didn’t smile and barely nodded, however, sothing that was quite unconventional. I wouldn’t let such a small detail hinder
from finally having a chance to recruit soone I needed, though.
“I’m glad you found the job announcent. Should we go and talk to see if we’re a good match?”
“Yes.”
“Would you prefer to discuss in a café or a eting room here?”
Despite food being so precious, there existed restaurants and cafés in the inner world. As expected, they were incredibly costly, and only the wealthy could afford to patronize those places.
I was ready to pay for it if this potential candidate wanted to. As for eting rooms, all city halls had so for rent for a small fee, maybe because they knew it was a necessary service for a lot of people.
Job interviews would normally be conducted inside the office of the recruiting company, but in case it was located in a different do or there was no office to speak of, these sorts of services ca in handy.
