Chapter 3: Search for The Job

Amon would figure out the situation in greater detail later. The more pressing concern right now was to survive. He scuttled through the market, looking for places he could work. His idea right now was to work at inns or taverns. Not the best kind because he didn't think he would get the job there, and also not the worst kind because he didn't think he could last long there. So that left places in the middle. And inns and taverns because people from different paths mingled there, even if only gossip and noise, it would be more accurate there. There were quite a few places like that. He would just have to try his luck everywhere. 

But before he got to trying them, he would have to investigate to get an idea of what they were like. And that's what he did. He went to every one of the taverns he knew and found anew. He didn't go in, just stayed out and about them to listen to what people had to say. He went near their back entrances to see what the employees were saying. This wasn't the work of one day. It would take some time, but it was essential. So he stole whatever little food he could and scampered around the market. At night, he found a dark alley and dived under the garbage piled up in a corner. 

Looking at the stars in the night sky from in between the gaps, he felt melancholic. But he swept it away after some time and returned to rest. Or whatever rest he could get. 

Early in the morning, long before people woke up, he concealed himself the best he could and went to the common well. He quickly took a bucket of water and washed and cleaned. And just as quickly, he left from there. This was a more deserted well he found compared to the rest. He would clean himself every once in a while at times and places like these. He would leave himself a little dirty to cover his appearance. No one knew what he looked like. 

Seeing that this was the next day, he could sign in again. 

[Sign-in in the slum market? Y/N]

He mentally chose yes again. 

[100x Vital Energy Pills Obtained]

He suddenly realized that there was a space he could sense within his mind triggered by his intent. There were a hundred vital energy enhancement pills inside. He didn't lose his calm after getting them. He couldn't take them now. It would be odd if a suddenly healthy homeless runt was found running around. He would have to take them later. Though, he was happy with what he obtained. 

It was time to start inferring the vibe of these inns and their owners again. His day was once again spent the same way as the previous one. It was not that the kid before did not want to find a job. He was scarred by his experiences which made him a little scared and untrustworthy of those around and rightly so. 

He still would have to find a job, though. Because scavenging and pick-pocketing could only get you so far before you messed with someone you shouldn't have. It's not like he had some great senses right now that could discern if some hidden martial artist was walking by. So, he had to be extra careful. 

He found a new alley to camp for the night at the end of the day. One of the things that kept him going was that he could become a martial artist too. He could gain things from the system. He only needed enough time.
