Chapter 83 New Blood Mutual Assistance, Such Mutual Assistance

Work becomes organized, not troublesome, and not time-consuming.

Half the amount of plants and herbs seems a bit too much in terms of quantity.

But once you actually start dealing with it, you quickly run out of money.

By lunchtime, Link had finished all his work.

Not only is it fast, but the work quality is also high, and the entire process follows the "Today's Raw Material Pre-processing Procedure Details".

Not only was there almost no waste, but the plants and herbs that were transferred to operating room B for further processing were also piled up neatly and beautifully.

With more practice, I can become even more efficient.

In contrast, the progress and quality of work by the other candidate, Mina Haverczek, were far from satisfactory.

It's slow, has a lot of waste, and can't guarantee quality or quantity.

Tina the Wizard, a full-time employee in charge of processing plants and herbs, showed different expressions towards Link and Mina.

The former enjoys warm smiles, while the latter faces indifferent cold stares.

This made Mina Haveczek feel even more uneasy.

The store provides a staff meal every day at noon.

There is a smart restaurant and bar on the west side of the stairwell. The space is spacious and there are enough seats.

The staff meals are prepared in a smart kitchen and are served on a self-service basis, allowing individuals to choose what they want to eat.

Just don't waste it.

Link cleaned his hands, changed out of his filthy uniform, and went to the restaurant without even glancing at the flustered Mina Haveczek.

The shop has three full-time employees, all of whom are young and beautiful women, and all of whom are professional wizards.

Besides Tina, the wizard in charge of processing plants and herbs, there are two sales assistants, Salia and Ella.

This is the information Link found on their name tags.

At that time, all three female employees were dining in the restaurant.

Link had no intention of forcing himself to fit into the small circle of three female employees. He picked up his lunch and sat down in a chair a little further away.

To everyone's surprise, just as Link started eating, the wizard Celine also sat down opposite him with her lunch.

Talking while eating is a habit Link has cultivated over a long period of time.

Although it's not an ironclad principle, I try not to talk during meals if possible.

Link smiled and nodded slightly as a greeting, then began to eat seriously.

Celine the Wizard did not feel offended.

She's not that petty.

Soon, in a quiet atmosphere, the two finished their lunch.

Wizard Celine finished her glass of red wine, wiped her full red lips with a silk handkerchief, and then asked, "I noticed that you didn't have any interaction with Mina Havercze this morning. Was it because of the competition for the position, or is there some other reason?"

This is not a good question to answer.

Link thought for a moment and then said sincerely, "Both. It's because of competition and because of past conflicts. Although we've reconciled, I don't want to have any further contact with them."

"How could you be so heartless to such a delicate and beautiful girl?"

The wizard Celine asked with a playful tone.

Link replied seriously, "Since beauty can be a weapon, it can also be defended against."

"Fine. This little brat has a lot of valid points."

The witch Celine smiled, said nothing more, got up and left with her tray.

Link waited until Celine the Wizard left the restaurant before taking the tableware to the smart kitchen recycling station, and then... clocked out.

This is the most convenient aspect of part-time work.

Once the work is done, you can leave work.

Outside the pharmacy.

Antoine Hilton stood a short distance away, seemingly having timed his arrival perfectly to wait for someone.

I just don't know who he's waiting for.

As soon as he saw Link come out, he immediately waved to him, signaling Link to come over and have a chat.

Link had nothing to be afraid of and immediately stepped forward.

"Hello, I am Antoine Hilton."

Antoine Hilton showed no intention of making a fuss, as if the incident between Rivers and Enrique had never happened, and as if he had never targeted Link on the "forum".

He smiled broadly, spoke in a warm tone, and extended his right hand, showing a friendly attitude.

Link gently shook Antoine Hilton's hand and replied, "Link Grand, I've long admired Chairman Hilton's name."

"Really? I've long admired your name!"

Antoine Hilton laughed heartily, "It's a pity we've never had a chance to meet. Now that I see you here today, I thought I'd get to know you."

As he spoke, Antoine Hilton casually mentioned, seemingly without much thought, "Speaking of which, although Molly Kidman submitted her resignation application, we haven't approved it yet. We're all family here. Whatever Molly needs, the association can meet it. For example..."

He paused, then emphasized, "Just like Mina Haveczek."

She wanted to get involved in pharmacy-related work in advance to hone her skills and gain experience, but unfortunately, she couldn't find a way to do so.

After seeking help from the association, they contacted Wizard Ella, who then introduced Mina to Wizard Celine.

"Really? That's good."

Link replied calmly, "But that's her own business, it has nothing to do with me, and it's no use talking to me about it."

Antoine Hilton showed no embarrassment at being shut down, and instead revealed his purpose: "Give me some face and let Mina have a turn in the job competition."

Boys should be more generous and magnanimous, especially when they're around girls.

We're all fresh blood from the Storm Sea, so whether we're in the academy or outside, we should try to get along better and help each other.

"Is this what you call mutual help?"

Link couldn't help but scoff, feeling that his intelligence had been trampled on and insulted.

So, your idea of ​​mutual help means I should give up competing for the job and instead help my competitors get it?

"I wonder if Link would be willing to join our 'New Blood Mutual Aid Association'? With Link's qualifications and grades, he's perfectly capable of being the vice president. He might even become the president someday!"

Antoine Hilton remained calm upon hearing this, a confident smile playing on his lips. He tossed out a carrot while simultaneously delivering a veiled threat: "Perhaps Link doesn't know this, but Wizard Ella was the previous president of the 'New Blood Mutual Aid Society,' and Wizards Salya and Tina were also members of the 'New Blood Mutual Aid Society,' while Wizard Celine was a founding member."

"Really? So what?"

Link showed no fear and calmly replied, "Without self-reliance, everything is fleeting and can be blown away at any moment."

"The area outside the academy is different from inside; the waves are much bigger, and accidents can easily happen. It's best if we stick together and help each other, just in case!"

Antoine Hilton was unfazed and continued to elaborate on his ideas, or rather, his threats.

Link smiled and said no more, his attitude was clear.

That is, I can't give that kind of face!

Antoine Hilton smiled and turned to leave.

When opinions differ, it's pointless to exchange even a few words.

Both sides have stated completely different positions, so let them each go their own way.

Link did not stop, and went in the opposite direction from Antoine Hilton.

Perhaps the next time we meet, we'll be rivals?

Thank you to the reader who sent the generous donation, thank you!
