“Please wait in the car for a moment, next.”
Bamboo Tiger carefully walked over to the fire-vapour carriage, he tried to open the door and got in.
The recruitment for Slemurd’s Sand City continued.
The second applicant was a female Rumin called Ashie, and Slemod quickly talked to the other party and also made her wait in the fire-vapour carriage.
The next one was another acquaintance.
The visitor introduced herself and said, “I am Funeral Season, and I have visited the Sand Castle before, and I have also learnt a bit about it.”
Slemod asked, “Do you have any specialised skills?”
“I specialise in grave works, I can build black tombstones on my own, have taken care of many ghosts, built three second order tombstones and one third order tombstone …… I also have extensive experience in leading ghouls.”
“Sorry.”
Slymod replied, “The skills you have mastered should be more practical in the Ghost World, Sand City is currently more in need of transforming the desert and increasing cultivation, so I hope to co-operate in the future.”
“I can learn! I can learn, I learn things quickly!”Funeral Season still wanted to fight for it.
“I believe in your enterprising spirit.”
Slemod emphasised, “But rules are rules, even if I’m the mayor, I still have to follow the basic plan of Sand City to recruit talent. You can’t break the rules just because of your personal admiration for you, it’s not fair to the others, and it’s not fair to those who follow the rules, don’t you think so?”
Its sophisticated reply left Funeral Season speechless.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to put you on the spot, and I’m not one of those …… I’m just …… sorry.”He scowled and stepped aside.
“Next.”
Lu Yao watched and took a sip of tea.
Fortunately, Sand City had Slimerd, and if it was anyone else, even Isabel couldn t do it so smoothly. Decent rejection was also a skill, how could one be so silky smooth without years of experience in the Master Teacher’s profession.
Compared to Funeral Season, Lu Yao is personally more concerned about Funeral Poison.
The first visit of the Ghost World to Sand City, Funeral Poison is the real backbone and decision maker.
It was just that Funeral Poison wasn’t involved in this recruitment.
Lu Yao checked the backstage and found that Funeral Poison was currently in front of a cluster of tombs not far from Pillar Mountain.
He was leading a dozen Funeral Clans and hundreds of Ghouls to relocate a group of tomb clusters. They arranged the black tombstones into an enclosed rectangle and proceeded to build the first city of the Ghost World.
Lu Yao’s heart gave him another compliment, there was always no shortage of aspiring pioneers in the clans.
This time, it was said that it was an open recruitment, but in fact, they were all candidates who were pushed through the screening process of the two Great Gods. This was understandable, the two Gods of course wanted the talents sent out to still come back to build the Divine Kingdom, rather than never returning, so they had to send trusted people.
Sand City Recruitment eventually settled on 7 foreign labourers, including 5 Reumin, 1 Bamboo Man, and 1 Funeral Race.
The Luminaries included old acquaintances Lushan and Bamboo Tiger, and the Bamboo Lush Kingdom out emissaries were all here again.
It is worth mentioning the Funeral Clan of the Dokugo.
The man named Funeral Horn looked lugubrious and dull, and he was so short that he resembled a small zombie.
He said, “I will heal the ghost.”
Slemod immediately took him down.
In the Yao Clan, the group of ghosts was growing in numbers. They have many unique advantages, not needing much space, not using food or water …… But the difficulty of healing ghosts has always existed.
From the earliest magic medicine founders, Medicine Spoon, to the prophet Medicine Put who delved deep into the ghosts, to the extreme sinners, Hai Fold, none of them have been able to truly overcome this difficulty.
To date, once a spectre was injured, it represented permanent damage and weakness, unable to be restored in any substantial way.
The appearance of the Ghost Armour had greatly reduced the chances of a Ghost being injured. However, a large number of ghosts were involved in all walks of life, which in turn made their injuries more frequent.
Lu Yao clicked on this undertaker.
……
[Funeral Clan LV16] Funeral Horn [Weak]
Life Value: 161/857
Mana: 259/443
Damage: 8
Defence: 7
Speed: 7
[Tombstone Builder
Can create a special building [Black Tombstone].
[Ghost Healer LV3
Uses his own body to contain damaged ghosts, gradually healing them at the cost of consuming life.
……
Lu Yao had a few regrets in his heart, there really was no perfect talent.
This Ghost Physician, although his ability is very good, saving ghosts requires consuming one’s own life value, which is a trait that is severely depleted.
Ghouls from the same source have the [Carrion Eating] trait, they have thick skin and flesh, and they can also quickly recover their life and mana consumption after eating.
But the Funeral Race couldn’t do that. This was the price they paid for gaining intelligence and being able to build [Black Tombstones], walking into a different evolutionary path.
Lu Yao guessed that the Ghost Realm had allowed Funeral Horn to come to Sand City in the hope of using the Yao Race’s power to cure Funeral Horn, who was already in poor physical condition.
Slimer asked Funeral Horn and learnt that there were dozens of other Ghost Physicians in the Funeral Race, only that they did not have the will to go to Sand City.
The number of Funeral Horns was too small, and the internal professions simply hadn’t been shaped yet, and the Ghost Physicians couldn’t do any self-medicating.
Lu Yao was happy to accept this talent.
The Yao Clan couldn’t cure ghosts, but they were experienced in treating living creatures, and even if they couldn’t restore Funeral Horn to his original state, they could still use magical medicines and pharmacological means to make him in a better state.
The Spectre Realm and Sand City were sort of complementary in terms of medicine.
Sand City’s first recruitment in Pillar’s Hill ended successfully at this point.
On the other hand, in the other world, the joint recruitment opened by Sand City’s Buluo and Bamboo Man was a different story.
In order to be eye-catching, Slimerd had specially built a temporary stone platform for them next to the city gates, so that Buluo and Takeo could be seen here at first glance.
A tall and eye-catching wooden plaque was erected by the stone platform, on which was written in Yao Clan script.
“The Spectral Ghost Realm and the Bamboo Reed Kingdom are recruiting talents, with favourable treatment, welcome to apply.”
However, the Sand City residents who passed by were all just spectators from afar, discussing mostly.
“I heard that the ghost world is full of cemeteries, gloomy, no sun, full of thin mud …… washing clothes can not even dry, every day all over the sludge, how to get it.”
“More than grinning, Master Salt Long wrote a letter back to the Martial Arts Cultivation Association about what it looks like in that black tombstone. There’s a kind of soft slug crawling around in there, there’s not even a bed, the tomb is damp and mouldy, it’s worse than a cowshed.”
“Then I’m definitely not going. Although Sand City is not as good as Yao City or Salt City, at least the beds are dry and clean, they can be less complete, cleanliness is still a must.”
These words caused a mass of black lines to form on Bu Luo’s head as he tried to suppress his anger.
Next to him, Bamboo Man’s head was bubbling with smiles, and even some notes drifted out. He hummed a little tune of joy as he watched the jokes of the Pixie Realm from the sidelines.
Another Pixie said, “How about the Bamboo Reed Kingdom? I’ve heard that the weather is nice there, and the scenery in the mountains is great.”
“That’s true, I’ve heard the scenery is good, as Mr Fishguy tells it.”
“You didn’t finish, did you? I asked Mr Shak from the Rose Garden, and what Mr Fish Goo said was that the scenery is great, but the public facilities are still at a very backward stage, there are no decent roads, you have to climb the mountains, and there are no carriers of any kind, not even the oldest bullock carts or camel carts.”
“Indeed. I’ve heard that their food there is mainly bamboo, and rats.”
“Rats?”
Question marks popped up on the heads of the crowd, “It’s too backward, isn’t it ……”
One of them bravely walked up to the stone platform and inquired, “Excuse me, do the people of the Bamboo Reed Country eat rats?”
“Not rats! It’s bamboo rats!”
The bamboo man, who had been all smiles a moment ago, couldn’t hold his tongue at this time, and an angry and fuming expression appeared on his head, “Bamboo rats aren’t rats! That’s a delicious food!”
The Yao people were well-informed and bold.
“That’s not a rat, so why is it called a rat? Why not call it a bamboo pig, or a bamboo goat?”
The bamboo man was furious: “You’re deliberately picking a fight aren’t you!”
The crowd dispersed in fear.
Next to him, Buluo sprang up with a smile instead, “Don’t get angry, it’s useless to get angry.”
“Bamboo Man mate, we’re here to recruit talent, you’re scaring people away like this.”
Bamboo Man’s head was a mess, “In my opinion, it’s impossible to recruit people at all! There shouldn’t be anyone in Sand City willing to go outside!”
“It’s not difficult, but give it a try, haven’t there been talents like Nongbase and Fishgu who took the initiative to come before?”
Lu Yao also looked curious.
Could they recruit people with this appearance?
Someone really came.
The one who came was also a heavyweight.
The applicant raised a book in his hand, “My name is Ululu, a native of Wuzhi, a geologist and an archaeologist, specialising in geological exploration, archaeological excavation, mineral identification and recognition, driving earthbound boats and fire steam carriages, proficient in the languages and scripts of the Wuzhi and Ancient Boho, theology as well as history, skilled at repairing metal tools and drawing maps, and with a slight understanding of some engineering andmedicine ……”
“We of the Psi-Ghost Realm want it!”
“The Bamboo Reed Kingdom welcomes it!”
In order to compete for the talent, the two apostles clashed swords.
Buluo calmed down first, “Let’s not argue yet, how about listening to this Mr Uluru’s purpose first?”
Takeo nodded and looked at Uluru as well.
Uluru wrote on the board, “I would like to go to the Spectre Realm and the Bamboo Reed Country to conduct a geological survey to see if there are no metal ores in the area or not, which is why smelting technology has never appeared in the local civilisation.”
Both apostles gave said silence.
In the end, Uluru wished to start with the Phantom Realm, which was more adept at engineering and excavation.
It didn’t take long for another unsolicited applicant to arrive.
“My name is Matthews, and I am a writer.”
“I specialise in writing, and I currently have a work published, The Crystal Empire, which is little known in Yao City and Salt City.”
The visitor was dressed in spectral armour and stood upright, “I want to go to the Spectral Ghost Realm and the Bamboo Reed Kingdom, and use paper and pen to record the various legends and histories of the two godly kingdoms, and pass them on and circulate them, just like that greatest of all writers, Paw Paw.”
Lu Yao was speechless for a while.
Opening a waistcoat trumpet and blowing yourself up, right?
Pure Roader, XX is indeed the greatest writer of the series.
For Uluru, the two Apostles competed for him, but for writers who were of little use, Bamboo Man’s interest was clearly low.
In the end, Bloo accepted the ghost writer.
“I have one more ungrateful request. My humble wife, Mina, and my assistant, this backbox cactus Sagat, also wish to come along.”
A short lady walked over, and she was followed by a Backpack Cactus carrying a large bag next to her.
Lu Yao took a look, and the head of this strange female villain displayed [Symbiotic Tree Demon LV26] Joti.
Qiaoti had a handful of shape-changing techniques, and she had changed her appearance and also put on a waistcoat.
Seeing the tree demon, the bamboo man immediately changed his attitude drastically: ”This lady, may I ask if you would like to consider our Bamboo Reed Country? You’ll love our place, it’s a paradise for all kinds of trees!”
“I’m sorry, I’m going to be with my husband.”Jodie said politely.
Buro, on the other hand, was overjoyed, “Welcome, welcome! The Phantom Ghost Realm welcomes all three of you!”
In the entire Sand City Recruitment, only these four ended up coming of their own accord, while everyone else was just spectators and idle chatter.
Although this cross-border recruitment was a bumpy process, the result was good enough for the two Godly Realms.
Lu Yao sensed that something wasn’t quite right there.
He looked through the backstage of the Golden Wilderness.
After the publication of the first part of The Crystal Empire, the second part had been pigeon-holed for thirty years, and Yao City’s side had even issued a reward, searching the world for this disappearing writer, Matthews.
Pawar repeated the same trick and once again eunuchised and ran away.
Unlike the last time he committed suicide to get away, this time he also completed the technology upgrade iteration, and directly took his wife with him to escape to other worlds to avoid the wind.
