Chapter 5: Things That Are Taboo To Me

No wonder why the recruitment officer was astounded. No wonder why the surrounding crowd got a shock after hearing that Mo Wuji wanted to apply to be a drug refiner assistant.
Although Rao Zhou City was the capital of Cheng Yu state, there were few drug refiner assistants, and much fewer drug refiners.
For drug refiner assistants, many were elderly men. Thus it was rare to find a drug refiner assistant as young as Mo Wuji. This was not only in Cheng Yu State, but even in the whole Xing Han Empire. Such a young drug refiner must have great potential and an unimaginable future ahead. It could be said that for a drug refiner assistant as young as Mo Wuji, he will become an actual drug refiner a few decades time if nothing goes wrong.
The original copy of a drug refiner assistant qualification? Mo Wuji’s heart sank. Where would he get such a thing?
He subconsciously looked at the shocked expressions and sceptical looks of the surrounding crowd, and finally understood. *Cough*, Mo Wuji continued speaking as though nothing happened, “I have not had the time to take part in the drug refiner assistant qualification test, but I had already reached the level of one.”
Mo Wuji sensed that the looks from the crowd changed.
The recruitment officer settled down, and the cautious look on her face disappeared completely. She did not get angry, but instead calmly asked, “So which drug refiner school did you graduate from? Which drug refiner was your teacher?”
Mo Wuji scanned the room again; he finally discovered that many applicants were holding a small book in their hands. From this short a distance, he could make out the words on the book held by the applicant closest to him: Rao Zhou mining research school graduating certificate.
Mo Wuji never expected that applying for a job here would be the same as on Earth, requiring qualifications. Looking at the circumstances, even if he went to apply for other jobs, without any qualifications, he would still fail.
Seeing that the recruitment officer appeared to be increasingly unhappy over time, Mo Wuji could only give an awkward laugh, “Well…I am self-taught, so I have neither any graduate certificate nor a teacher.”
“Ha ha ha…” Someone in the crowd finally burst into laughter this time. Surprisingly this seemingly impressive drug refiner assistant was only a lying fellow.
Cheng Ling Pill Workshop’s recruitment officer did not laugh, but instead had an ominous and scary look on her face. Cheng Ling Pill Workshop was one of the top drug refineries in the whole of Cheng Yu State, how could someone come to make a fool out of her.
Seeing that this middle aged woman was in a bad mood and was about to explode, Mo Wuji thought to himself, “This is not good.” Right at this moment, a sudden noise interrupted Mo Wuji who was about to speak. “Eh, isn’t this our king? My King, why have you come to the association in person? Don’t you have to attend court in the forest outside of the city? Oh, that’s right; my king is here to inspect this place. Look at me, where are my manners, quickly pay respects to the king.”
The voice was filled with mockery and frivolity, without any of the respect or manners he was talking about.
Mo Wuji turned around and saw that it was a young man in grey leisurely clothing walking over; he had seen this man before. It seemed that he was one of the few youngsters walking with Wen Manzhu last night. He had a decent appearance, and looked rather vain.
“He’s that Northern Qin Prefecture…” The middle aged recruitment officer suddenly understood, and the anger shown on her face disappeared. The man was a lunatic, what’s there to get angry about?
The surrounding crowd burst into laughter, obviously thinking that Mo Wuji was here as a joke.
