After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1175
Chapter 1175: First Town Hires!
At Level 1 Town level, the limitations in hiring via the Center were the same, but the pool they could choose from was until this Class C tier.
This was unless they got lucky again like how they got Betty, Oslo, and Rowan—who really had no way to be in the Village Pool unless there were extenuating circumstances.
An example of a lucky break at their current level would be when someone from the City decided to get hired at Level 1 Towns, which was unlikely. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
First, it was an instinct for this world to grow stronger—and be associated with stronger territories. 'Moving Down' was generally seen as a stupid move by crazy people.
Not to mention—while it was easy to grow stagnant after a certain level because of the sheer amount of elite monsters they had to kill—Cities had one thing that could help people level up without having to do so: Aether Stones.
After all, it was difficult to level up the natural way because, for people past Level 40, this meant hunting for hundreds of monsters five or so levels below them.
Monsters past Level 30 were practically giants already. It would be a challenge to kill even one!
At the same time, not leveling up meant accepting the limitations of their strengths and their lifespans—who would be reconciled?
The only reason someone from a City would downgrade was if they had already given up on life and just wanted to naturally consume the rest of their lifespans.
Second, those people who wanted to retire to weaker territories were likely to choose Level 3 Towns because the benefits of staying in Towns were the same, while the lifestyle was closest to that of a City.
This was primarily attributed to the defensive amenities and the System Buildings available at that level compared to those in lower tiers.
If there was a way for them to send reverse-messages to the Chancery (to say that they had so-and-so amenities), they would have. Sadly, there was no such feature and they had to rely on word-of-mouth to gather high-tier talents they wanted.
Speaking of higher-tier talents:
The next tier of hires—typically available at Level 3 Towns and Cities—were Class B professionals or people at the Level 31-40 range.
Their basic salary was 30 gold, which would double if they were elementalists. Finally, Class A or Level 41 and above had a basic salary of 50 gold.
These salaries, even in Cities, were extremely well-off. Once they become a City, the Elder salaries would probably match those prices too.
Anyway, in hiring this time, she didn't have to be so stingy because the local salaries were more or less matched with whatever the Chancery asked them to pay.
This meant she could just hire regardless of whether or not the job could be filled by local manpower.
In that case, they could just send the Aborigine hires to either associate villages or to their citizens looking to hire. Alterra would just gain some commissions for brokering the deal.
There had already been an application opened up in the Center where business owners and teams had put out requests for Hired aborigines.
They were particularly popular in caravans because aborigine guards were especially useful, not only because they were stronger than the average non-elementalist Terran, but also because they were more familiar with the subtleties and culture of whatever local territory they'd eventually pass by.
Now that they were a Town with increasing exposure to fellow towns, they hoped to hire more people with experience at that level.
Anyway, putting this aside for now, Althea stood at the beautiful array in front of her, feeling a bit excited.
She smiled. Time to welcome new Alterrans again!
…
The first option was a Level 14 Fighter around his late 20s.
It wasn't a bad choice, but she passed on it for now. She could only hire 3 out of the 5. What if the 4th or the 5th ones were good?
So she made a rule that—unless the first 2 hires had qualities that really excited her or could be useful for Alterra—she wouldn't hire them. Anyway, even if the remaining options weren't that good, she wouldn't feel too bad because they could have a use elsewhere.
The second hire was much better.
[Name: Rin Hero
Level: C (D-class spearman; Level 24)
Abilities: Fighter
Wage: 20 gold per month, food twice a day inclusive
Confirm? (2/5)]
The hiring in Towns was really different! They were just in the second option and she already got a Level 24.
As a rule of thumb, if she encountered a level 20 or above, she likely would choose them immediately—especially a level 24.
Generally speaking, level 20s and up were the average Town-level guards already—even slightly above average for a new town.
In many cases, the Level 20s—if they didn't choose higher level towns—would opt to get hired directly under Towns instead.
Provided the town could guarantee some protection and benefits, it was the more practical choice, considering they could avoid having to pay precious 5 gold to the Chancery every month.
This was why the more likely options even at Town level—or at least at the lower tier—would still be around Level 15s or so. Unlike those people with higher levels, they needed extra protection from the chancery, after all.
Anyway, she clicked [Yes] and the array lit up in front of her, revealing a tall man with short dark hair. He had a good face and form, and he also had a valiant stance.
More prominently, he wore thin metallic armor and carried a helmet under his arm. If people were here, they would call him very knightly and heroic.
He had a serious expression on his face even as he saw the two of them. Chin up, he then walked forward a couple of steps past the array.
However—
Flop
Althea and Garan flinched a bit when his knee bent at a slightly awkward angle, causing him to lose balance. Fortunately, the newcomer managed to stop his body just in time before he fell.
He awkwardly stood upright again and stiffly headed in their direction. He kneeled—like a well-trained Knight, in fact—as soon as he neared them.
"Milord, Milady," he greeted, tone very professional, as if nothing happened.
"..."
Seems like they got a clumsy one.
Thank you for reading, everyone! Would love to hear more from youuuu
