-----------------------
As I was done allotting my ‘free stat points’, then I came to the newly acquired Job ‘Thief’. I asked
“System, what is this ‘thief’ job and why I got that job?”
‘ding’
‘The host obtained ‘Thief’ job because the host activated the conditions for it.’
Reading this I had a vague idea, but still asked
“What was conditions for activation for ‘Thief’ job”
‘ding’
‘The conditions for activation were sneakily killing and stealing, which were the actions performed by the host’
Reading this I was puzzled and asked
“System, Although I killed the man sneakily and stole his treasures; but I think those skills belong to the Assassin's class and I should be awarded the something like ‘Assassin’ job, right?”
‘ding’
‘What host said is partial correct but since host could not kill the enemy in single strike and had to deal damage multiple times to the enemy, and there are some other conditions which the host could not activate; so, the host received ‘Thief’ job’
As I was lost in thought and wanted to ask what were the other conditions, I heard the system notification again
***Warning***
***’Thief’ job is expiring as the host has not equipped it***
***Host has 1 minute left to equip the ‘Thief’ job***
***if the host does not equip it then the ‘Thief’ job will be lost and host cannot get it in the future***
***does the host want to equip***
*** YES or NO ***
Hearing system warning I was startled and quickly pressed the ‘YES’ button.
Although I feel disgraceful that my first job is ‘Thief’, but I don’t have any job right now and the system said I will lose this job forever. So, instead of that, I accepted the job.
‘ding’
‘Thief job has been equipped’
‘Does host want to view the Thief job related skills?’
When I read this, I was ecstatic. Whatever bad feeling I had was thrown away or disappeared when I heard the ‘Thief’ job had skills.
I quickly asked the system to show the skills of the ‘Thief’ job.
‘ding’
‘Thief job skills’
Stealth Lvl 1
Sprint lvl 1
Spying lvl 1
Disarm Traps lvl 1
Pick Lock lvl 1
(Other skills can be unlocked when certain condition is met)
--------------------------
When I saw these skills, I was very happy. Although, the job name has a bad name but the skills are top notch and the ‘Stealth skill’ Is one of my favorites. And these skills are almost similar to the Assassin skills.
Suddenly, I remembered that in some RPG games and novels there are ‘Thief’ and ‘Assassin’ jobs. And there are some situations where both the jobs share same skills.
‘system advice: Each job equipped occupies an empty job slot. Currently host has 0 empty slot’
‘system advices host to buy a new slot from the shop or if host obtains another Job then he will not be able to equip it and lose that job forever’
When I read this message, I was shocked and immediately took all the money available in the storage ring and deposited to the system.
There were lots of gold and silver available but sadly there was no low-grade energy stone. Although that man was rich but not rich enough to own a low-grade energy stone.
‘ding’
‘conversion successful’
‘current balance = 10,521,000 Sikka’
After checking my balance, I was shocked that I had a balance above 10 million sikka. I calculated and the answer was that there was about 10000 worth gold coin with this man. Although, I have seen this much money many times but it still is shocking.
In the Leon clan, the servants and maids had a salary of 500 gold coins per month and guards had 1000 gold coins per month. Even my monthly allowance was about 5000 gold coins. And it might sound way more but it is not.
In the countries it is said, that the people use mostly silver and bronze as currency, while the use of gold is very rare and if the Leon clan servant take a year’s worth of salary to countries, they can live a rich and lavish life. But although they can live a rich life but cultivation resources will not be available. So, it's like
‘If you want something, you have to lose something’.
Which means, if you want to live a lavish life then you have to lose all the perks that can be obtained in the Kingdom and live-in country with measly resources for cultivation or other things.
=======================
Quick flash back
‘1 Lower grade energy stone = 1000 gold coin’
‘1 gold coin = 100 silver coin’
‘1 silver coin = 100 bronze coin’
‘and’
‘1 sikka = 10 Bronze coin’
(A small recap, in this world Empire is bigger than a Kingdom, and a kingdom is bigger than a country.
So,
Empire > Kingdom > Country > State > County > City > village.
I will be mentioning these things after few chapters regularly to avoid confusion.
============================
--------------------------
After the system showed me the current balance after converting all the money, I opened the shop and started searching for the ‘extra Job slot’
As I was searching, I came across many useful things and made a list of those in my mind for future shopping. But many things in that were locked, which means I cannot buy them for now and will have to wait for them to unlock
Finally, I saw the thing I was searching for, ‘Empty slot for Job’ but when I saw the price of it, I took a deep breath.
‘Empty slot for Job’
Price = 1,000,000 sikka
It was 1 million sikka, which means around 1000 gold coins. Nearly about 20 % of my Pocket money. Although, I felt painful but it was a necessity and anyhow it's not like my money (I meant it is stolen money) and I can surely earn much more in the future. What matters is to save my life first. And get things which can make me stronger.
I bought the ‘Empty slot for Job’ and the system notification rang
‘ding’
‘Empty slot for Job added’
‘available slot for job:1’
As soon as I saw the message, I turned my attention back to shop screen and what I saw almost made me faint.
