To be honest, the benefits of this job provided by the Roland Empire were really great, especially the last one.
If they worked for the Roland Empire, they had the opportunity to listen to the song Sprouting performed by His Majesty Roland every year until they awakened their elemental talent.
This alone was enough to make people fascinated.
Huo Ji might’ve just arrived in the Roland Empire, but he knew a lot of common sense about magic due to his grandfather, Huo Zhen.
Even if a person was born in the Roland Empire, not everyone could awaken their talent and become an elementalist.
The current emperor was a sound elementalist. One of his skills, Sprouting, could increase the listener’s elemental affinity and improve the chance of awakening!
Awaken their talent and become an elementalist.
As for the benefits of becoming an elementalist, Huo Ji clearly understood it from his grandfather.
Not only could he use magic, but he could also prolong his life!
The people from other planets didn’t know this yet. They only knew how powerful and cool magic was. Otherwise, the threshold of the Roland Empire would definitely be broken.
Prolonging life was a fatal temptation to every short-lived race. He just hoped the Roland Empire could keep this secret forever.
Therefore, this benefit was engraved in Huo Ji’s heart. Work meant the end of his vacation, but he originally planned to stay here longer.
A tourist visa only allowed a maximum stay of six months.
Not to mention, the salary was above the market price!
His Majesty Roland was really generous. The internship salary he offered was already the same as regular employees in other places.
If he became a regular employee, his salary would increase and he would get other benefits such as a small villa!
After thousands of years of peaceful development, habitable resource planets were continuously being discovered and there were many habitable planets, but there was also a population explosion.
Huo Ji was born in the Flanders Interstellar Federation. The planet he lived on was very crowded, and the housing prices were beyond the reach of ordinary people’s wages.
He never thought he could have a villa. Now, a house was abruptly placed in front of him and was within reach!
The Roland Empire might have obvious shortcomings in all aspects compared to the Flanders Interstellar Federation, but it had irreplaceable strengths.
Huo Ji knew his abilities. It was impossible for him to get such good treatment anywhere else.
So, after asking his grandfather for his opinion and getting a positive answer, he calmed down, happily signed the contract and took up his post.
At the same time, in order to make his future life less lonely, he also dragged several good friends into the water.
In any case, their grandparents were old acquaintances.
They were unwilling to submit to Roland, but these elders all agreed that their grandchildren should stay and work in the Roland Empire.
They didn’t have such conditions before. Now they could come back, their safety was guaranteed and they had good benefits. They naturally wanted to let the younger generations stay.
No matter whether it was becoming an elementalist themselves or helping Roland build, it was a win-win situation.
Huo Ji and his friends studied different majors in college and had different levels of ability, but they were all able to find suitable jobs in the Roland Empire.
There was no way. The nation was in a state of disrepair and there was a severe shortage of people!
Even if they didn’t work in their fields, there was still a huge market for opening a training course for basic life skills such as driving a suspension car, operating an optical computer, etc.
Huo Ji was confused at times. He was clearly here to have fun. How did he suddenly become a corporate drone? But he quickly adjusted himself.
In particular, he felt a strong sense of responsibility when he saw the eyes eager to learn.
His job was the same as Old Huo’s.
The difference was that Old Huo taught magic, while he was a teacher of basic courses such as the universal language and mathematics in elementary school.
Under their influence, many hesitant people finally chose to stay and work in the Roland Empire. Even those who weren’t short of money stayed due to the temptation of awakening magical talents.
Xu Sili was naturally satisfied with the result.
The benefits he provided to these people were undoubtedly very generous.
On the one hand, it was due to the assistance their elders provided to the Roland Empire in the past one hundred years. On the other hand, they had the blood of the Escher people flowing in their veins.
Xu Sili was more willing to trust these young people than professionals hired from other nations.
Their abilities were still lacking for the time being, but once they were trained, their loyalty to the Roland Empire would be guaranteed to a certain extent.
If he used benefits such as housing to lure them back, maybe even those stubborn five star elementalists could be coaxed to stay.
In any case, what he lacked least now was land and houses.
In the distant deep sea, it was pitch black.
In this darkness, any little light would be particularly eye-catching.
After killing a four star beast with a sword, Lin Mu showed up. Four floating lanterns suddenly floated around him, emitting a bright light.
These four floating lanterns were fashion effects, indestructible, required no energy, and would always follow their owners.
The moment this set of costumes came out, it was regarded as a treasure by players who liked to hunt monsters in the sea.
Using the floating lanterns to attract monsters on the seabed was really effective!
The members of the gaming team who designed this set of costumes never expect players to make use of the costume effects in this way.
It had now become a must-have for underwater players to kill monsters.
“Brother Mu, more than a hundred of those elementalist NPCs were robbed by Magic Box!”
A vine tied to the dead sea beast transformed into a young man in dark green tights.
He didn’t wear a floating lantern suit like Lin Mu. After all, his responsibilities didn’t include attracting monsters.
“Just let them grab it.”
Lin Mu put the sea beast’s corpse into his backpack and said without much concern.
He wasn’t as concerned as Qing Yan about training newcomers and running a mercenary group. He focused more on his personal strength. Perhaps due to this, he could firmly maintain his first place in the ranking list.
After the underwater map was opened, Lin Mu had been leveling up in the sea with his partner, killing monsters and leaving the mercenary group’s affairs to Wang Yang.
Yufeng Zhuimeng curled his lips as he continued to look at the messages. “Brother Yang cursed in the channel. It seems he became angry at the people of Magic Box again.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Mu simply turned off his message notifications and temporarily blocked Wang Yang’s messages.
The moment he blocked the messages, Wang Yang sent him a message, asking him to go back and take charge of the situation. However, he found that he was blocked by his own boss again and couldn’t help cursing.
Lin Mu thought of something and quickly looked at Yufeng Zhuiming. “Yufeng, if Wang Yang sends you a message, don’t reply.”
“Brother Yang will kill me!”
“It’s okay. If he asks you when you get back, just say that we have a bad signal under the sea and can’t receive any information.”
“……”
Yufeng Zhuimeng felt that no one would believe this excuse. After all, some of their people had followed Princess Val on an interstellar journey.
They could still communicate over such a long distance. How could the signal be bad at the bottom of the sea?
“Be good. It is right to listen to me.”
Lin Mu wasn’t really interested in running a mercenary group.
If they didn’t need someone to keep the peace and he wasn’t the strongest among the group, he would’ve given up the position of team leader a long time ago.
The underwater map was a paradise for warrior elementalists. They could kill monsters here like a fish in water. Due to this, their progress in the underwater map wasn’t slow.
The protective magic circle drawn by Master Dominic that could isolate water had been expanded several times.
The sea elves’ territory was no longer what it used to be.
Of course, sea water was still flowing and satellites couldn’t observe the seabed, so the recovered sea area didn’t appear on the map. This didn’t mean that players hadn’t tried hard.
“The effect of the Sea Tree’s blessing is about to wear off. Let’s go back.”
Lin Mu looked at the status bar, spoke to Yufeng Zhuimeng and was about to swim back, only to suddenly stop.
Yufeng Zhuimeng was about to turn into a vine and wrap around him to save some energy, but he found that Lin Mu had stopped and couldn’t help asking, “What’s wrong?”
Lin Mu didn’t answer. He just looked at the bottom of the sea with a tightly furrowed brow.
Then he collected the floating lanterns that were attracting monsters around him.
Their surroundings suddenly fell into darkness.
But it was also in this darkness that Yufeng Zhuimeng discovered what Lin Mu was paying attention to.
In the direction of the seabed, there was a light flickering faintly. It was very faint, but it did exist.
“What is that?” Yufeng Zhuimeng asked curiously. “It is bright… could it be a sea beast hunting for food?”
In the deep sea, there was no shortage of hunters who could use light to hunt. Those guys were definitely boss-level dangerous.
He couldn’t help getting excited when thinking of the boss.
“Brother Mu, can you go down and take a look?”
In any case, as a warrior elementalist, he could maintain the transformed state as long as he had physical strength. In this state, it was difficult to lose health even when hit.
Of course, this was unless the appearance was changed by high temperatures. In which case, it was easy to die.
However, they rarely encountered this situation in the deep sea.
Lin Mu nodded and drank a potion to replenish his strength. Then he performed transformation magic and transformed himself into a dagger.
Yufeng Zhuimeng also transformed into a thin vine, wrapped around the dagger and fell rapidly to the bottom of the sea along with the dagger, heading toward the flashing light.
As the distance got closer, they discovered that there was actually a large trench there. The flickering light was coming from the trench.
Lin Mu didn’t hesitate and continued to go deeper into the trench.
Not long after, a huge outline appeared in front of them, like some deep-sea monster.
Lin Mu stopped cautiously and tried to find out the information of this giant beast. However, he found a few big words appearing above the beast.
