Chapter 128 – Devil

Home/ Devil / Chapter 128

Adan’s shrewdness is obviously not limited to the free labour he hired to move the stones, but was also reflected in the flow of people who flocked to retest at a later time.

Previously, Adan’s courier caused a lot of commotion. Many people came to move the “goods” for free, while some demons only came to join in the fun. Although demons don’t easily join in the fun, they can gather to watch the excitement in the testing area. 

After all, if you want to find a suitable job more quickly, you must come to the testing area. Today, the testing area even has some stones shipped from outside. 

To be precise, many demons just wanted to… touch the stones… and the best way to touch the stones is to do a test~

In addition, there are a lot of young demons who are looking for a job for the first time and have not found a way. There was a lot of commotion at Adan’s side in the morning, so they naturally came to the testing area.

In this way, not only did all the demons become aware that the testing area has resumed business, but the business in the testing area also exploded all of a sudden!

“Strength of one stone… um…but the current one stone is equivalent to the previous two stones, right? Mention on the resume that the current one stone is equal to the previous two stones…”

The old demon sat in the middle of the courtyard with his eyelids drooping, surrounded by a panting demon holding a large stone, while Ji Huan followed behind the demon, holding a pen and paper in his hand, constantly making notes.

In fact, the busiest person in the testing area right now is not Adan but Ji Huan.

Thanks to the new testing tools, Adan now doesn’t need to personally go on the stage to be a punching bag, he just needs to sit in the middle of the field and report the result. On the contrary, Ji Huan needs to write even more resumes everyday compared to before.

So Adan has to take out a computer from somewhere to type the resumes.

Although it is very old, but Adan has a… computer ← Yes, there is also a computer here. However, its system and operating methods are different from those on the earth. I don’t know how old this computer is but it looks kind of shabby and broken, not to mention that it often crashes.

Before Ji Huan, Adan barely used this computer to book train tickets.

Realising that Ji Huan was going to be overwhelmed, Adan asked Ji Huan to use his old computer to type the resumes.

Unfortunately, Ji Huan doesn’t know how to use this computer. The computer here is completely different from the previous world in terms of keyboard and system, and the input method is still in the research state. 

When Ji Huan tried to use this computer to type resumes, his speed became a lot slower, not to mention that it crashes every now and then. In the end, Ji Huan still had to write by hand.

However, he’s getting more and more proficient at hisjob.

Previously, he had to look up the dictionary while writing, but now he can basically throw away the dictionary and write directly. For someone who has been in this world for less than a year, Ji Huan’s learning ability has reached an astonishing  level!

However, everyday after he puts Hei Dan to bed, Ji Huan still memorises 100 words on the side until he falls asleep, just to make life easier in this world.

At the end of the day, Ji Huan ended up writing a surprising number of resumes that even Adan felt surprised.

“Doesn’t your hands hurt?” Writing is different from fighting. When fighting, Adan feels tired, but writing is much more tiring than fighting. Adan can also write, but in his opinion, writing dozens of resumes a day would make his wrist so sore that he wouldn’t be able to lift it up. But how many resumes did Ji Huan write? A hundred?

“Fortunately, I’m used to it.” Ji Huan was the best at sea battle in his world. Even in Bade Town, where there was not much homework, the homework given to students after their second year of high school was still a lot.(sea battle=the term refers to doing a large number of questions to master that type of questions)

Even Adan was a bit curious about what Ji Huan used to do before, and how the other party can be so accustomed to such intense paperwork.

Well, high school students in China are definitely considered to be very good at intensive writing!

However, the old demon felt that Ji Huan’s job was too hard. Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, he drove away the demons who were still waiting in line outside the door.

“Come back tomorrow, we are off work today.” The old demon waved his hand rudely.

“What! We’ve been waiting for a whole day, wait—isn’t there still time before you get off work?” The demon standing in the first place quickly looked back at the height of the sun to confirm the time.

“It’s finished when I say it’s finished. From now on, we will leave work at this time everyday.” The old demon was very domineering. He stubbornly left work early without saying anything, and even changed the time from now on.

Running a industry and being self-willed~

After speaking, the old demon threw a last glance at the group of demons at the entrance, and then returned to the yard with his hands behind his back.

As Ji Huan was tidying up the table, the old demon thought about something for a moment, and then pointed to the shabby computer beside him.

“You take this computer home and start practising typing from today.”

“The demons outside all work with computers now, which means that typing on a computer is definitely faster than writing by hand.”

Halfway through, Ji Huan looked up at the old demon, feeling a bit surprised by the fact that the old man kept up with the times.

Then—

“Moreover, the ink cost for printing with a computer is much cheaper than that of fountain pens. Using a computer can not only save money on ink, but also make a few more resumes. Earning more and spending less, this is a good business model.”

Ji Huan: “…”

Well, the boss is indeed a shrewd businessman.

“Take this number and call the person tomorrow morning to order a new computer. You can bring this computer home today, practice on it early, and then use the new computer to handle the daily paperwork.” As the old demon spoke, he turned on his phone and reported a number, and Ji Huan quickly memorised the number.

Putting away his mobile phone and looking at the young man who was carefully adding the new contact on the mobile phone, the old demon said again: “From now on, I will give you another 300 bone coins every month as a communication subsidy.”

“Okay, let’s get off work.” After speaking, the old demon waved his hand and left.

Looking at the back of the old demon, the corners of his couldn’t help but twitch again. He quickly tidied up the table, and then started to move the computer on the table.

This old model of computer is very heavy. Even though Ji Huan has become a lot stronger now, it is still beyond his capacity to carry this thing.

Fortunately, Abu and the others have arrived at this time.

During the day, Abu and the others were busy with work, and Ji Huan was also very busy, so they made an appointment to come over after work to pick up the food Ji Huan prepared for them. 

As soon as they entered the door, they saw Ji Huan who was moving things. Naji immediately took the initiative to help Ji Huan lift the heaviest part. Abu also picked up the second heaviest part of the screen, while Xiao Hui silently took over the keyboard.

So Ji Huan ended up picking up a few wires in his hand.

“Where do you want to move it?” Abu asked casually.

“My house.” Ji Huan said.

Then suddenly…a strange look appeared on Abu’s face.

“Um…are we going today? I…I…haven’t showered yet…I mean…I originally wanted to rob a ticket and take a bath outside before visiting…Ah!”

Abu, who was tall and had a rough face, really had a delicate heart. Ji Huan never thought that Abu would take the meal at his home so seriously.

“There’s no better day than today.” Ji Huan looked at the three demons: “And you can also take a shower at my house.”

The three demons looked at each other and finally nodded.

Ji Huan also carried out the stewed hooves that he brought over in the morning for Abu and the others. Halfway through, Abu and the others took Ji Huan to the hunting area. The three demons were all very good at hunting and their efficiency was even higher when working together. It didn’t take long for Abu and Naji to hunt two Kombeasts, and the little grey devil also caught a very fat bone ← Seeing that Ji Huan often hunted this, he thought Ji Huan liked to eat it.

“I heard that when you visit a friend’s house for the first time, you usually bring gifts.” Abu said solemnly, and then his voice suddenly lowered: “Is there such a thing?”

He has never visited a friend’s house before, and there is very little concept of “home” here. Although Abu has done some homework, he doesn’t really know if it is right.

Ji Huan nodded: “Usually, people bring some gifts on their first visit, but they don’t need to be expensive. A bouquet of flowers or a bottle of wine are fine.”

“Fruits are also fine.” Ji Huan suddenly thought of his first visit to Wang Xiaochuan’s house.

At that time…he brought frozen pears, right?

Grandpa never taught him the etiquette of visiting other people’s houses, and Ji Huan had no friends either. That’s why when he first went to Wang Xiaochuan’s house, he was actually very nervous. After all, at a friend’s house, there will be adults, and the feeling is different.……

Ji Huan thought of Wang Xiaochuan.

He should have been admitted to a university by now, right?

At the time when he came here, their hometown was already moved to the next city. Although it was a neighbouring city, the province was different, and the cutoff score in that province was much lower than before. So as long as you perform normally, you would be able to go to a better university with the same score as before. 

Wang Xiaochuan should be able to get into a very good university now, right?

It might be Jinghua University…

Ji Huan’s thoughts drifted away a bit, but he quickly pulled them back.

Just like Wang Xiaochuan must have new friends, he also has new friends now.

Speaking of which, today is the first time he has brought a friend home since he grew up. Ah…he didn’t tell Grandpa, but Grandpa should be very happy, right? Suddenly, he felt a little nervous and happy. He left the hunting area and walked along the path, passing through many familiar places. 

Finally, Ji Huan brought Abu and the others to his place of residence.

“Wow!” Both Abu and Naji were stunned.

“Ji Huan, you live in a good place…” Abu was halfway through speaking when he suddenly lowered his voice.

The surrounding area was too quiet, so quiet that speaking at a normal volume felt abrupt.

“This is the most expensive area in Yefar! It’s much more expensive than any luxury area! I heard that many big shots of Yefar live in this place. Since we were young, we were told not to come near here without any serious business. Today’s the first time I came here!”

“Huh…” Ji Huan also heard this for the first time, so he lowered his voice: “This is Ah Jin’s house.”

“No wonder.” Abu nodded, showing a proper expression.

Following Ji Huan, several demons living at the bottom of Yefar entered one of Yefar’s most mysterious areas – Green Shade Area.

This is the only place in Yefar where there are trees.

Although there are not many, the soil here can grow things.

This area is a distance away from the extravagant area full of luxury and money, as well as the garbage area where garbage and gangsters run everywhere. This place is very quiet, and it can actually be considered a rare pure land in Yefar.

Ji Huan has never seen his neighbours, nor has he heard any noise of other demons here.

He almost once suspected that there was only his family living here.

Walking on the road as he held the hooves in his hands, Ji Huan turned his head casually. When he saw the expressions of Abu and others, Ji Huan was startled:

Behind him, whether it’s Abu, Naji, or the little grey devil, all three demons are now sweating profusely.
