Chapter 379: Recruitment Plans (1/2)

After sorting out the problem regarding herb supply, Sam went back to Philip.

”Post a recruitment order. We are recruiting people at all cultivation levels, but people at Nascent stage are preferred. We are getting new employees. Mention in the post that any form of expertise and any skills are appreciated. That might be as simple as cooking, carpentry to assassination and arson skills.

Apart from that, call the Architecture Artisan who was in-charge of the city's construction, do not let that former tower-head know about this. Ask him to come alone and without informing anyone. If he does play any tricks, just deal with him.

Ask Watt to meet me.”

With that Sam went back to his room.

After a few minutes Watt appeared and Sam started speaking.

”Recruit every orphan in the empire. I want all of them in the City in a few days, arrange the temporary residence within the inns, they can adjust a bit and place multiple people in a single room. If they are too many, arrange the residence in some of our arenas.

The maximum limit for recruitment is that they are fifteen years old or lesser and their cultivation limit should be Initiation stage. As for the minimum limit, even if they are infants you can recruit them.

Apart from that order some earth and wood element users under us to create a levelled place in the nearby woods.

In a week, it should be good enough for the construction to happen.”

Watt nodded and went to execute the task. He doesn't even have to make a move himself, with the network having this many branches, all he has to do is make a call and that would be it, but he decided he will take care of this task himself.

He kind of understood why Sam wanted these Orphans to come to the city and he felt that it is a great opportunity for those orphans who are suffering in slums.

He doesn't want anyone of them to miss this opportunity. Even though, he picked up the cynicism from Sam, he still felt like he should handle this properly.

He just went for the earth element and wood element users and made sure to clear enough place in the woods according to Sam's requirement.

After that, he stood on the Silver Wind as he flew away from the city to accomplish the other job. But before that, he did contact Jack who is the only one out of three without any extra jobs to receive orphans through trains.

With that the new mission began.

After an hour or so, Sam is in a meeting room with the Architecture artisan who is in charge of the construction of city.

It has already been quite a while since they met, but Sam hasn't spoken anything, he just looked at the artisan as if he was searching the latter's soul. The latter obviously felt uncomfortable.

After a long time, he picked up the courage to speak.

”Sir Sam. May I know why you called me here?”

He asked nervously. He is a Pre-transcendent cultivator, with a variant of earth element, he is quite strong himself and his architecture skills speaks for themselves, he was able to accomplish the task of building this huge city.

”You are a Rank-6 Artisan. What does that title mean to you?”

Sam asked after his long silence.

”What do you mean?”

”I meant exactly what I asked. What does that title mean to you?”

He thought for a brief moment and said.

”It is an evaluation of my expertise. Without that no one would acknowledge my skills no matter how good I am.”

”I have an offer for you and I am offering this chance to you only because I acknowledged your expertise and skills not because of your rank. Do you want to take it?”

”Please do tell.”

”Resign from the Artisan association.”

”Excuse me?”

”You heard me. Resign from the Artisan tower and join the network truly, I will give you the chance to explore a new world of architecture. Something that is beyond the information and skills you can pick up from the artisan association even with the thousands of years of its research.

I will open the door for that new world.”

”You are also an Artisan, why are you asking me to relinquish my title?”

Sam took out his badges and said. ”As you said, these things are the evaluations which the society follows. I was just a weak cultivator when I explored the Orion and climbed my ranks up. These badges are a necessary hindrance for my enemies as well as a resourceful key for me to open some new doors.

But at my current position they mean nothing to me. They are nothing but scraps of metals.”

”Why are you asking me to do this?”
