Chapter 6

It's no wonder the recruiter was shocked, nor is it surprising that the people around were amazed when they heard that Mo Wujie wanted to apply for the position of alchemy assistant.

Raozhou, although the capital of the Chengyu Lord's territory, does not have many alchemy assistants, let alone alchemists.

Even if there are some alchemy assistants, they are usually very old. An alchemy assistant as young as Mo Wujie is rare, not only in the Chengyu Lord's territory but even in the Starhan Empire. Such a young alchemy assistant has enormous potential and an unlimited future. One could say that with Mo Wujie's youth, as long as nothing goes wrong, he will definitely become a true alchemist in a few decades.

The original certificate of alchemy assistant qualification? Mo Wujie's heart sank. He needed this thing, but where could he get it?

He subconsciously looked at the admiring and even skeptical gazes around him and finally understood. He cleared his throat and said nonchalantly, "I haven't had the chance to take the alchemy assistant examination yet, but I have already reached the level of an alchemy assistant."

There was a chorus of groans around him, and Mo Wujie clearly felt the gazes on him turn sour.

The recruiter's face also darkened, and the cautious expression on her face vanished. She didn't get angry but asked calmly, "Which college did you graduate from in the alchemy program? Who was your mentor?"

Mo Wujie's gaze swept the area again, and he finally noticed that many of the applicants seemed to be holding a small notebook. He saw that the closest applicant's notebook read, "Raozhou Mining Research College Completion Certificate."

This time, it was Mo Wujie's turn to feel a toothache. He hadn't expected that applying for a job here would be the same as on Earth, requiring a diploma as a stepping stone. It seemed that even if he applied for other jobs, he would still need a diploma.

Seeing the middle-aged woman's face turn uglier, Mo Wujie awkwardly smiled, "This... I studied at home, so I don't have a completion certificate or a mentor."

"Ha ha ha..." This time, someone finally burst out laughing. It turned out that this impressive alchemy assistant was just a liar and a joker.

The recruiter from the Cheng Lingji Dan Workshop didn't laugh but had a terrifyingly dark face. The Cheng Lingji Dan Workshop was one of the top alchemy workshops in the entire Chengyu Lord's territory, and someone dared to come here to mock her.

Seeing the middle-aged woman's face turn ugly and about to explode, Mo Wujie knew it was bad. Just then, a sudden voice interrupted Mo Wujie, who was about to speak, "Oh, isn't that our king? My king, why are you here at the guild? Don't you need to go to the forest outside the city for court today? Oh, right, my king is here to inspect. Look at me, how impolite, I should quickly greet the king."

The tone was mocking and frivolous, with no trace of the politeness he claimed.

Mo Wujie turned around and saw a young man in a gray casual suit walking over. He had seen this man before; he was one of the young men and women who had been with Wen Manzhu last night. He looked decent but seemed a bit frivolous.

"He is the one from the Beiqin County...," the middle-aged woman suddenly understood, and the anger on her face disappeared. What could she be angry about with someone who was mentally unstable?

The onlookers around them laughed even harder, clearly thinking Mo Wujie was here to make a joke.

"Zhao Xu, do you find it so funny?" A cold voice rang out, and the laughter in the guild suddenly stopped.

A girl in a purple dress stood at the guild entrance. She had a slender waist and long hair, and her beautiful face made the entire guild pale in comparison. The real point was that most people recognized her. She was Wen Manzhu, the only daughter of Wen Ju, the Marquis of Rao County in the Chengyu Lord's territory.

A marquis in the entire Starhan Empire is like a drop of water in the ocean, nothing special. But in this guild in Raozhou, she was absolutely top-tier.

"Manzhu..." Zhao Xu called out awkwardly, but because of Wen Manzhu's ugly face, he didn't dare to continue. He felt a bit regretful because he hadn't seen Wen Manzhu come over, and the good impression he had left on her was ruined. He had once praised Mo Wujie in front of Wen Manzhu, saying that Mo Wujie was understandable. Today's mockery revealed his true colors.

Wen Manzhu ignored Zhao Xu and walked up to Mo Wujie, taking out a cloth bag and handing it to him, "Xinghe, give this to Yan'er."

The bag made a jingling sound, and Mo Wujie knew it was the sound of gold coins. For Mo Wujie, who was in dire need of money, even a silver coin would be something he desperately wanted.

Mo Wujie had no particular feelings for Wen Manzhu, neither good nor bad. He didn't feel furious about her abandoning the destitute and possibly insane Mo Xinghe. Such people were too common on Earth, too realistic. If the Mo family fell into destitution and Mo Xinghe went mad, it would be strange if Wen Manzhu didn't abandon him. There are many people who can share in prosperity, but how many can share in adversity?

Because of his own experiences and those of his predecessor, he had no interest in befriending someone like Wen Manzhu. No matter how beautiful she was, he didn't want to be involved with such a woman. He needed money, but he wouldn't take money from Wen Manzhu. Mo Wujie had his own way of living and his own pride.

Mo Wujie thought of Yan'er, who had never abandoned him. How many girls like Yan'er are there? Meeting one in a lifetime is like breaking countless wooden fish to pray for it. Having experienced it, Mo Wujie understood how precious it was.

"Since it's for Yan'er, you can give it to her yourself," Mo Wujie said and turned to leave. After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned back, "By the way, my name is Mo Wujie, not Mo Xinghe. Wuji in 'nothing is forbidden,' of course, I'm not 'nothing is forbidden.' There are some things I am very cautious about."

Wen Manzhu was momentarily moved by Mo Wujie's words. Had he changed his name? Seeing Mo Wujie about to leave, she quickly called out, "Xinghe... Wujie, Yan'er doesn't want to accept it. You can bring it to..."

Yan'er doesn't want to accept it? Mo Wujie suddenly wanted to laugh out loud. This girl is just like me, good, just good.

"My family's mining workshop needs to hire people. If you're interested, you can come..." Wen Manzhu suddenly had a deep feeling. The Mo Xinghe in front of her, no, Mo Wujie, was no longer the depressed prince who had gone mad dreaming of being a county lord. He had changed, and the pride that treated the marquis as nothing made her clearly feel his transformation.

Mo Wujie stopped again and looked at Wen Manzhu, "I will laugh and leave, how can I be a miner? Even the position of alchemy assistant, I'm too lazy to do. If I'm going to do it, I'll be an alchemist."

"Ha ha ha..." Mo Wujie laughed heartily, showing his bold and free spirit.

He wasn't pretending to be bold but was genuinely moved. Compared to the woman who had betrayed him, Wen Manzhu was much better. It was a pity that he had been so focused on his research in biological pharmacy that he didn't even know what the woman beside him was like.

Living again, Mo Wujie would never allow such a thing to happen again, never.

"Ha ha..." The guild hall burst into laughter again, and clearly, no one believed what Mo Wujie said. Most people thought Mo Wujie hadn't recovered and had just changed his madness from a county lord to an alchemist.

If becoming a county lord still had a glimmer of hope, becoming an alchemist had no hope at all.
