Night Watchman
On the edge of a bustling job fair square.
Annatania was about to walk over when Jiang Yuu stopped her.
"Let's see how it goes."
Annatania calmed herself and followed Jiang Yuu's gaze.
A dirty-looking boy stood before a fat Priest of the Temple of Wealth, his eyes blazing with fury, his thin frame barely straight.
"I have money!"
He picked up a bag of coins and retorted loudly.
The obese Priest was taken aback when he saw that the other party had actually pulled out a bag of coins.
As the number of onlookers grew, the crowd began to increase.
"Open it so I can see."
The boy opened the money bag, which was mostly filled with copper coins.
The obese Priest chuckled and sighed.
"Not enough, you poor boy."
"How could that be? That's the price in Three Forks River City."
"This is Wells, the Manderlin Kingdom, not some poor place like the Three Forks River."
The obese Priest chuckled.
The boy originally had enough money, but in recent years, Wells City has had a unique "Other" inauguration statue in its Inauguration Square.
Thus, the Merchant of Wells City saw a business opportunity.
What's the most expensive thing in the world? It's the rarest thing.
The Merchant funded the luxurious renovation of the area surrounding the Job Placement Plaza, and also joined forces with the Mander royal family to raise the prices of job postings, especially those in the "Other" category.
The dirty-looking boy naturally didn't have enough money.
Moreover, his beggar-like attire really detracted from the appearance of the square where he was to take office.
The obese Priest preached.
"Go back, kid. I didn't lie to you. You can ask the people around here if you don't have enough money."
How could that be?
The boy, who had been standing upright, immediately became dejected.
The crowd gradually dispersed, as if the spectacle was over.
Beside him, a similarly dirty Half-Elf girl stepped forward and offered words of comfort.
"Monnis, don't be discouraged. I've heard that on the Eastern Sea Coast of the south, in the Abudo Port, where the Winged People, there are also statues representing the nine professions."
"Rumor has it that the place is constantly patrolled by Angel of justice. We can continue south and go there to take a look."
"That's what the Half-Elf girl said."
"But we don't have enough money to go south."
The boy lowered his head.
"It's okay, we can all work together to earn money when we get back."
The Half-Elf girl chuckled.
"No, Tangoya, you've all done so much for me, you haven't even become professionals yourself. I've been too selfish. Let's go back now, take this money, and help you find a job."
"Monnis, don't give up. You've always been the smartest and most Talent among us. Everyone's entrusted you with the money they've saved up, hoping you'll become the most powerful professional."
"No..."
Just as the two children were arguing, a gentle and noble voice came from beside them.
"Child, tell me, why did you travel all the way to Wells City to choose this place for work?"
Upon hearing this, Monnis and Tangoya looked up.
A handsome, elegant young man with silver hair and a beautiful woman with blonde hair and golden eyes stood beside them.
It was the beautiful woman who spoke.
Her words seemed very convincing, Monnis answered honestly.
"I heard there's a ninth profession to choose from here, so I came here to take a job."
"The other eight are also Legendary paths; wouldn't you choose one?"
Annatania asked.
The dirty-looking boy shook his head.
None of the eight professions are suitable for me.
Annatania subtly used her divine powers to sense the boy's condition.
"I can sense the Transcendent power surging within you. It seems you are indeed suited for those rare professions."
"Furthermore, a suitable profession for you can be found within this ninth statue."
Upon hearing this, the dirty-looking boy was initially overjoyed.
"Really?"
But he quickly became depressed.
Unfortunately, I don't have enough money.
"I do have a way to get you the job."
What method?
"I'll lend you the money, and I can tell you the most suitable profession for you among the ninth statues."
Annatania laughed.
"But how can we repay it?"
The dirty-looking boy was mature; he knew there was no such thing as a free lunch.
He borrowed money and found a job; he's accomplished everything in one go.
"No need for that, but I have one condition. If you achieve something in the future, I want you to join the Temple of Wealth."
"Temple of Wealth?"
Because of what had just happened, the boy instinctively felt a sense of rejection.
"Listen to me. I need you to become the dark side of the Temple of Wealth, to Judgment those Divine Office who tarnish the image of the goddess. Your future profession is very suitable. Are you willing?"
"Judgment them?!"
Looking at the obese Priest walking away, the boy felt a surge of passion and nodded.
"I do, ma'am!"
"It's settled then, hehe. Yuliel, pay up!"
Annatania, the Goddess of Wealth, chuckled.
When Jiang Yuu was suddenly asked by Anna to give him money, he was completely stunned.
In the end, he reluctantly took out some gold coins and gave them to the boy, Monnis.
"Anna, you're so stingy."
Annatania laughed heartily.
"This is a child from your territory."
Then she said to Monnis.
"Take this money, go to the ninth statue, and choose the ' Night Watchman ' path directly. This profession can also reach Legendary, and it's the most suitable for you."
