Demon Slayer Starts From the Proficiency Panel

Chapter 82: [082] Join The Mine

Chapter 82 [082] Join the mine

The east of Jinbian City is adjacent to an iron ore mountain. In recent years, countless ore and iron have been produced, and the profit is clearly visible, so it has attracted many businessmen to come here.

This makes the mining industry in the east of Jinbian City extremely lively, and even four or five mines from different shopkeepers can appear on one mountain at the same time.

leads to a huge demand for miners, and sometimes mine owners give generous monthly salaries, but they may not be able to recruit them.

After all, there can be several professional mines, and most of the wealthy people who end up in the mines have crossed over to find their way. The protection measures for the miners are not in place at all, and the mines are not safe at all.

Every once in a while, there will be a certain mine collapse that leads to casualties, but for Jinbian City, which makes a living from mining, these things are already commonplace, and the people are used to it.

Since most of the missing people lived in the east, Ning Xiu went to investigate according to this clue to see if he could find any clues.

Compared with the central urban area of Jinbian City, the buildings and facilities in the eastern urban area are much older, with alleys and forks everywhere. The terrain looks extremely complicated.

In this kind of place, if there is any evil or a demon who intends to murder an ordinary person, then the other party really has no ability to resist.

“The Daqingshan Mine is recruiting workers, with 50 copper coins per month, including food and housing, and a free one-day excavation at the end of the month. Everything you dig is yours.”

“The Tianying Mine is recruiting workers. The copper coins are consistent every month, and the meat is brought in. Only 60 people are accepted. Come quickly.”

Not long after walking into the city, Ning Xiu could hear shouts from a distance. It was people with wooden signs on their bodies running around in the alleys and streets, promoting the news of the mine’s recruitment. .

Some mining farms have enough investment, and someone will run up to ask about it after hearing it. If it is really suitable, they can settle in and start construction on the same day.

Ning Xiu was still looking around when a man with a thin face and narrow eyes quietly ran up to him and asked, “You two, are you interested in mining? Our Blue Water River Gold Mine is now recruiting people, just join us. There will be two days of free mining time every month, no matter how many gold mines you dig, it will all belong to you, if you want to earn more silver taels, this is a good opportunity.”

The puppets made by Nie Ying were too realistic, making this guy impossible to recognize at all. He thought that Ning Xiu was two people, so he planned to invite them to mine.

It can also be seen how short of people this mining area is, and now it has reached such a level that it is necessary to take the initiative to invite people.

“What are you earning? Now Jinbian City is missing people all the time, and even the body can’t be found. What kind of miner is this dangerous? I came to see a friend today and plan to leave Jinbian City.” Ning Xiu shook his head and said.

“Brother, you are worried about this, hey, what a big deal, in this world, don’t you encounter strange things when you go to other places to live, or there will be, tell you about our mine, my shopkeeper recently I found a few powerful Taoist priests to sit in the town, and it is absolutely safe to come to my mine to mine, you can rest assured.”

Ning Xiu waved his hand and said, “Forget it, I don’t have the will right now.”

“No problem, little brother, as long as you have an idea, you can go to the Lanshuihe Gold Mine to find me. The treatment is generous.” After the man dropped these words, he hurried away again, heading for another not far away. A young man greeted him.

“The situation here in Dongcheng District is so complicated, and the population flow is huge, it is quite difficult to investigate the information related to the missing persons. Yes.” Ning Xiu secretly said.

The family members of the missing persons have already been questioned by the yamen several times, and they have already asked all the questions that should be asked. It is difficult for Ning Xiu to ask for any valuable information.

Nowadays, the disappearance of people has not completely stopped, and it still happens once a few days. If you want to understand the problem behind this, you have to find a new identity to hide it and observe it secretly.

But he was absolutely reluctant to let Ning Xiu pretend to be a miner to mine. Not only would this work be tiring and there would be no spare time, but usually there was simply not enough time for him to investigate secretly.

At this moment, a high wooden wall placed outside the shop door at the intersection of the street ahead caught Ning Xiu’s attention.

This high wall is full of various notices, all of which are recruiting people from the major mines, recruiting various positions, from the lowest miners to the skilled supervisors, to hiring the powerful to sit in town with a lot of money.

This made Ning Xiu’s eyes shine. Hiring a strong man to sit in the mine was a good fit for him!

The benefits and risks behind a mine are huge. You may encounter masters sent by other forces to make trouble, or you may encounter evil spirits.

In order to prevent this from happening, the mine owners will spend a lot of money to hire those powerful people to sit in their mines, so as to ensure the safety and stability of the mines.

In a place like Jinbian City, being able to invite a 5th or 6th rank expert to sit in the town is already considered a very luxurious configuration. The 4th rank and above masters are either looking for a way to break through, or they are worshipped in the big forces. It is impossible to come to a place like the mine to work hard.

Ning Xiu immediately walked to the wooden wall and took a closer look. At this time, there were already many people standing in front of the wooden wall watching, all planning to choose a job that was more suitable for him.

“Supervisors above rank 9 earn 22 taels of silver a month. This is really good. Supervisors don’t need to be as tired as miners, they just need to stand in the mine every day to supervise. I’m really envious.”

“What’s this, look at this, Tianquan Mine hired a deputy mine owner, asking for a third grade, 100 taels of silver a month, nothing to do, just take action when the mine needs it, this is cool Le.”

“Alas, it’s a pity that I didn’t have that talent. After 10 years of cultivating martial arts, I don’t necessarily have any inner strength in my body. I’ve been an ordinary person all my life.”

While these people were discussing, someone noticed the Overlord who was following Ning Xiu. There was no way. The Overlord’s body was too burly, and it was impossible for anyone to ignore him in the crowd.

“Hey, this brother is very strong. If you go to work as a miner, it will definitely be useful. If one person can match the strength of two people, the salary must be double.”

“Really strong, I don’t know if there is a ninth rank, otherwise the physique of being a supervisor would be excellent.”

In the envious eyes of these people, Ning Xiu concentrated on searching for a suitable position on the wooden wall, and finally saw a not bad one.

The Daqingshan Mine hired a chief engineer at a high price, requiring a third-grade strength, a monthly salary of 100 taels, to supervise all the supervisors, and to protect the Daqingshan Mine when necessary, and each shot was rewarded with 50 taels of silver.

Naturally, Ning Xiu didn’t choose this position for money. With his fourth-rank martial arts strength, it’s really not difficult for him to make money now. As long as Ning Xiu speaks out, a lot of rich people are willing to ask him to worship him at a high price. .

The reason why    chose the Daqingshan Mine is because the hiring paper also strongly stated that the chief engineer is very free in daily life and does not need to worry about anything, which is exactly what Ning Xiu needs.

When he stretched out his hand and tore off the employment form of the Daqingshan Mine, all the people around looked at him with astonished eyes, with different expressions, but all of them were full of disbelief.

seems to be saying silently: How dare this person?

The strength of the third rank, which one is not forty or fifty years old, and the appearance of over half a hundred years old, even if the talent is different, it must be around thirty.

Ning Xiu looks like he is in his teens at most, and he dares to open up a list of this level when he is not even in his twenties?

“Son, you can’t pick up the orders here indiscriminately. You can do whatever you want. Legs have been broken because of greed.” Someone couldn’t help but remind Ning Xiu.

“I understand.” Ning Xiu nodded and took the Overlord calmly away.

Looking at his back, this group of people said that they didn’t believe that Ning Xiu would have the strength of the third grade at this age, only that Ning Xiu took it off for others.

After asking for directions, Ning Xiu quickly found the Daqingshan mine, saying it was Daqingshan, but because of years of excavation, the whole mountain became bare, and there was no greenery at all.

There is an inspection post at the entrance of the mine. People who are not in the mine will be strictly searched. Ning Xiu is no exception. When he saw two big men come up to ask, Ning Xiu directly handed out the Shan Zi said, “Take me to meet your mine owner, and I’ll be selected for the post of chief engineer.”

“You? Chief Engineer?” The two janitors couldn’t help showing a smile on their faces when they heard it, but the quality of the two of them was still good, and they didn’t laugh at Ning Xiu for the first time.

“Little brother, go back to where you came from. Our mine owner is not a good-natured person. If you plan to play him, it will not end well, hurry up and leave.”

Facing the persuasion of the gatekeeper, Ning Xiu took out a piece of silver and threw it out: “The two of you can just do your own thing, you don’t need to worry so much, now take me to see your mine owner.”

The moment the    silver came out of his hand, it flew past a janitor’s ear, and embedded forcefully into the pillars of the mine gate behind the two of them, and the depth of the silver taels could not be seen at all when it reached the surface.

And around the embedded pit, there are even scorch marks after friction and fire caused by high temperature. With just such a hand, it is enough to see that Ning Xiu’s strength is far from simple.

The expressions of the two gatekeepers changed instantly, and the eyes they looked at Ning Xiu also changed from contempt to serious.

Let’s not talk about Ning Xiu’s strength, if he really becomes the chief engineer, the two of them will definitely not have good fruit to eat, and now they can only cooperate if they can.

“This way, please, I’ll take you to see the mine owner right now.” A janitor hurriedly changed his tune, and there was no more sarcastic tone.

“It’s work.” Ning Xiu nodded calmly.

Watching his companion leave, another gatekeeper hurriedly walked to the gate pillar and tried to dig out the silver tael from the pillar, but no matter how hard he tried, the silver tael was fixed inside the pillar, and no matter how he buckled it, it would not move. of.

“My dear, how strong is this man’s hand, he can throw silver like this.”

Under the guidance of the gatekeeper, Ning Xiu soon followed him to a large house in the mine. According to reports, this is where the mine owner usually works.

When Ning Xiu entered, there were already many people standing in the room, and two of them were Sixth Grade Immortal Dao and Sixth Grade Martial Dao respectively. Judging from their arrogant faces, they should have also come to apply for the position of Chief Engineer.

Sitting on the main seat was a fat man dressed in bright clothes and covered in jade jewelry. At this moment, he was chatting with the two middle-grade third-rank masters, with a very happy smile on his face.

At the same time, I was able to meet two middle third-rank masters who came to apply for the job, which makes any mine owner happy.

“Little brother, this is our mine owner, the treasurer of Feng Caida.” The gatekeeper who brought Ning Xiu over immediately introduced.

“You are…” Feng Cai, who was talking to others, turned to look at Ning Xiu and Bawang, and his face suddenly showed a puzzled expression.

“Manager Feng, this is what your mine posted to the outside world. I’m here to apply for the post of chief engineer.” Ning Xiu said loudly with the paper in his hand.

As soon as these words came out, the audience suddenly fell silent, Feng Cai’s expression became quite serious, on the other hand, the two middle third-rank masters looked at Ning Xiu with a funny face.

With the existence of the Qi-Hidden Magic, they couldn’t see Ning Xiu’s true strength at all. At this moment, in the eyes of the two, Ning Xiu didn’t even have the aura of the ninth rank, he was just an ordinary boy.

Who gave him the courage to come to Daqingshan Mine to apply for the position of chief engineer? In the eyes of everyone, Ning Xiu is a guy who doesn’t know how high the sky is.

Only the gatekeeper was the most calm, but just as he was about to introduce Ning Xiu out loud, Feng Cai waved his hand and shouted, “Drive them both out.”

“Manager Feng, is this your attitude of hiring a master? I don’t think I’m sincere.” Ning Xiu suddenly laughed.

Just a thought, the ground under Ning Xiu’s feet suddenly and quickly began to crack. Starting from the sole of Ning Xiu’s right foot, a large cobweb-like crack appeared on the ground of the entire house in an instant.

With a loud bang, the entire ground was sunk into a shallow pit. This was just a random kick of Ning Xiu. If he really did his best, the house would collapse in an instant.

The dust was flying, and everyone changed their previous expressions and looked at Ning Xiu with incredible expressions.

Especially the sixth-rank martial artist who had returned a contemptuous smile, but he lost all thoughts in an instant. As a martial artist, he knew it best.

Even with all his strength, he could not produce the power of Ning Xiu with just one kick, and this is definitely not something that a rank five or six martial artist can do.

The strength of this person is unfathomable!

Not only these two people, including Feng Cai and his guards, were all shocked by Ning Xiu’s simple kick. How many people have seen such momentum.

How to say Feng Cai is the shopkeeper. When everyone was in shock, he quickly reacted, got up and walked towards Ning Xiu very excitedly: “Forgive me, I have no eyes, young man, please sit down, if my mine can make it You will become the chief engineer, you will be full of brilliance, you can sit back and relax.”

Feng Cai is obviously not a literate person. Although the use of this word is illogical, but it is reasonable. It sounds strange to people, but there is nothing wrong with it.

Ning Xiu showed a little strength, which was enough to take the position of chief engineer in his pocket. This time he came to investigate the case of missing persons, not to compete for anger. Naturally, there was no need to show his face with Feng Cai, and he immediately invited the other party. Take a seat below.

“I have passed through Jinbian City, and will stay here for a while. I just saw Manager Feng, your mine is recruiting people, so I will come to the door to find a job. You should also stay with these two masters, Manager Feng. So that you won’t be available after Ning Mou leaves.” Ning Xiu said directly after sitting down.

He showed his hands and feet first, and after seeing Ning Xiu’s methods, no one dared to object when he spoke, and they nodded in agreement.

The Sixth Rank of the Immortal Dao and the Sixth Rank of the Martial Dao did not dare to compete with Ning Xiu for the position of chief engineer.

“Feng understands that the two masters, Feng, are also willing to hire them at the monthly salary of the chief engineer, and this young hero and this young hero’s friend will add fifty taels myself.” Feng Cai smiled excitedly.

The most important thing in this mine is to have a strong person in charge. First, to show strength, and second, to ensure confidence. If there is an accident, someone can help.

With the recent news of old people missing, many mine owners are begging for the masters of the third rank to sit in to prevent evil spirits from doing harm in secret.

Today, not only are there two middle three-rankers, but also Ning Xiu, an unfathomable expert. Presumably with a friend who has been silent and silent behind him, he should not be too weak, Feng Cai thought to himself.

Ning Xiu hurriedly waved his hand: “You don’t need to worry about me as a servant.”

Very relaxed, Ning Xiu became the chief engineer of the Daqingshan Mine. This position has the same leisure as a mine owner. There is no need to work in daily life, and all tasks are left to the people under him to do it. .

…

into the night.

As the sky darkened, the miners all dragged their tired bodies away from the mine and embarked on their way back to their residences.

In order to get home quickly, miners who have the conditions will choose to rent a house in the eastern region for a living, and those who cannot rent can only go to a farther place to settle down.

Since dozens of disappearances have occurred, miners returning home at night are also vigilant. When they go home, they have to form a team with their fellow workers, so that they can gain a reluctant sense of security.

However, this kind of behavior cannot effectively prevent disappearance, and every one or two days, we still hear news that so-and-so has disappeared, which aggravates the situation that everyone in Jinbian City is in danger.

This must be because Qi Dong has deliberately curbed the spread of information. If there were no such remedies, such weird things would have already caused trouble in the city.

Just as the workers of the various mines were starting to leave, a vigorous figure quietly flew out of the Daqingshan mine, quickly escaping into the dark night, and no one noticed him at all.

Standing on the top of a house, Ning Xiu looked down at the miners below, observing the past one by one with the skill of looking at the air.
