Chapter 307 But Ms. Mina gave too much

Why would a cactus like you go to the rainy and humid ghost world?

Every time faced with this question, Shaka gives the same answer.

"To follow Mr. Matthews and learn writing from him."

Lying is an essential skill for a writer and he has to be able to do it fluently.

The truth is, it’s for the high subsidies.

Ms. Mina, or Ms. Jyoti, offered a very high salary to recruit a five-year assistant. The assistant was responsible for sorting books on a daily basis and was required to be able to write and read, have a flexible mind, and be diligent.

The total salary for five years is enough to buy a decent house in a big city like Yaocheng.

Shaka loves money, the more the better.

The feeling of extreme material abundance makes it very desirable.

Originally, this kind of job opportunity did not belong to Shajia. In Shacheng, there were hundreds, if not thousands, of people who met this requirement.

However, the employer, Ms. Mina, requires that the cactus must be carried in a back box.

Later Shaka found out that this was to keep it a secret for Mr. Matthews. That's why Ms. Mina only looked for the pure locals of Shacheng, that is, the box-carrying cactus.

Shaka specifically learned many words, including his own name Shaka, the name of the city Shacheng, the Yao clan... and of course the most important God Yao.

Its handwriting was crooked, but it finally got the job. As for other requirements, it was definitely smart among the cacti.

After getting the job, Shaka felt guilty.

If I don’t really know how to write, it will definitely be exposed in five years.

What to do? Shaka could only pray silently in his heart, Lord Yao, please bless me and let me get enough money before being fired.

When it learned that the destination was the Phantom World, Shaka became anxious.

Going to that kind of place would be tantamount to seeking death for the cactus, wouldn't it?

It is said that the ghost world is always rainy, with puddles and mud everywhere, water seeping into the humid air, and the sun is never seen all year round. In the eyes of the cacti, it is an extremely dangerous hell.

Shaka said he couldn't go.

Matthews told it: "Don't worry, I know your tribe can't touch too much water. You need sunlight and warmth. So this time we brought a steam stove and plenty of black mud, so you don't have to worry about water and cold."

"Also, after we go there, the place we will settle in is not in the ghost world, but in the Pillar Mountain. It is dry and sunny there, and there are disaster beasts that can cause droughts... so these are not a problem."

Shaka still gritted his teeth and said he couldn't go.

Matthews smiled and said, "You are very suitable to be my assistant. I was worried that the Cactus Clan was too dull and honest. It seems that there are people like you who are smart and courageous."

Only then did Shaka realize that his inability to write had been seen through from the very beginning.

"Of course, I respect your choice."

The writer in brass armor said slowly: "But this may be a good opportunity for you."

“Do you know why there are heroes and prophets?”

Shaka replied: "Because of the gift of Yao God."

"Yes, God Yao has bestowed grace on us, allowing the names of prophets and heroes to spread far and wide. But not everyone is qualified. Heroes are heroes because they have done what others cannot do."

"Most of your people don't have the courage to go to the ghost world. Just like most people would not go to live in a backward and poor kingdom of God like my wife and I."

"When no one is optimistic about your chances, you achieve what is considered impossible by ordinary people. This is the path to becoming a hero."

Matthews said with his hands behind his back: "We, the Yao people, conquered the land, crossed the sea, entered the desert, explored the underground, and I believe we will fly into the sky. This is what we are doing, not because it is easy, but because we want to do what humans cannot do."

"This means that we are the Yao people. We are the ones who make the impossible possible. This is our nature, and it also lies in our courage and talent."

"You have to consider whether this will be your only chance in life. Not all young people have the power to make this choice."

Shaka chose to give up the only chance in his life.

Matthews was silenced by it, and the scene became awkward for a moment.

Ms. Mina raised her index finger and said, "I'll add another box of gems, enough for you to buy a single-family house with a garden by the river in Sanilo."

Shaka immediately patted his chest and said: "Mr. Matthews, Ms. Mina, Shaka is definitely your most loyal and reliable assistant. No matter the rain or the fire, it can't stop Shaka from following your footsteps!"

…

Money is the source of Shaka's motivation.

Ms. Mina would settle its salary every week. When Shaka had an extra pearl or a piece of gold in his hand, he could feel the satisfaction firsthand.

It doesn't like to spend money, but it especially likes to make money.

As for work, Shaka had no interest in writing, at least at the beginning. Shaka was more of a life assistant for Matthews, doing all the odd jobs.

Of course it is hard work.

But Ms. Mina gave so much.

With those shining gems in his pocket, Shaka worked more and more enthusiastically.

The Matthews' house was built on a flat area of ​​the Pillar Mountain. The foundation of the house was built by the funeral tribe. They used superb engineering skills to build the main body of the house with stone and clay. It is an elegant and exquisite three-story castle.

The windows of the castle are all made of colored glass shipped from the Sand City. These glasses are said to be made by craftsmen from the Crystal City of the Brilliant City. Each piece of glass is very expensive and emits a colorful halo under the sun, which is very eye-catching.

There is a large forest around the mansion and an astonishingly large garden. The boulevard is lined with arches made of bamboo, which are light and close to the forest.

Shaka works in such an environment.

All it has to do every day is to stay by Mr. Matthews' side and ensure that it is always available. As for Ms. Mina, she spends most of her time in the garden, which is full of various roses. She likes to grow flowers.

One day, Matthews slumped in his chair in annoyance and said, "Shaka, here's the pen, you write it!"

"ah?"

The cactus assistant was stunned: "But sir, I don't know anything."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"It's okay. Sometimes it can be an advantage."

At Matthews's impulsive request, Shaka picked up the feather pen, dipped it in ink and wrote the first line of the story on paper.

It felt that it would never forget those words.

——The teacher told Shaka, God is calling you. Go, Shaka, go to the distant and evil black abyss, there will be your shining place.

It no longer remembers why it wrote this sentence.

But what Shaka remembers more clearly is that when he saw this sentence written on paper, he had a dreamlike feeling, as if he had begun another life.

In the following days, Shaka officially became Matthews' writing assistant. His tasks included reading the manuscripts, giving comments, arranging the manuscripts, and taking out the necessary reference books for verification.

The castle displays almost all the important books on the market of the Yao clan, covering an entire wall.

In this year, Matthews started a new work, "The Book of the Grave", which tells a story that happened in a tomb, which is completely different from the dark and terrifying things that everyone thinks of. It also formally describes the casting of spells and battles in detail for the first time.

Compared to its predecessor "The Crystal Empire", "The Book of the Tombs" is a transformation, creating a new writing style and making people curse Matthews less.

Three years after the publication of "The Book of the Grave", a thin book called "Temple Warrior" circulated in Sand City.

The book describes a mysterious high-level profession [Temple Warrior], which is a powerful extraordinary person who can only be transformed by receiving inspiration and summons from the God Yao.

The existence of temple warriors is to defend the faith and majesty of gods and eradicate all kinds of monsters that cause chaos. Temple warriors are even powerful enough to fight against apostles and evil gods.

Most of the time, they live like ordinary people, cooking, drinking, and having many worries.

Only when facing the most formidable enemies will they be called upon to arrive at the temple from all directions, put on the armor bestowed by the gods, and join the battle as temple warriors.

As soon as this book appeared, it attracted everyone's attention.

The mysterious author of "Temple Warrior", Shaka, has also become the subject of discussion among the Yao people. Everyone only knows that Shaka is a back-box cactus, but he has been missing for several years.

It is said that it went to the ghost world.

This statement has aroused doubts from many people.

The ghost world is humid and rainy, with black fog all year round. For the back-box cacti, it is like a torture prison. Who would go to such a place? Shaka cannot write, which is a well-known fact among the back-box cacti.

Many people believe that the author of this book is likely to know the Temple Warriors or is an eyewitness of the battle, so he can write about the numerous battle scenes and the powerful and detailed situation of the Temple Warriors so realistically.

Because it is true! Many people even consulted Mayor Slimaud about this.

The apostle had only one reply.

"No comment."

"Temple Warrior" entered Yao City and Yan City from Sand City, and set off a new storm in the Yao world. Everyone was curious about the Temple Warrior and excited about this mysterious profession.

…

Displayed on the simulator.

【Shaka wrote "Temple Warrior". 】

[The Yao people have developed a fanatical worship for you because of "Temple Warriors", and their faith has been greatly improved. 】

["Temple Warrior" has aroused unprecedented new trends and created a new type of popular culture. 】

This fanatical worship caused the faith value in the upper right corner to increase to 520,000, even exceeding the current population limit of the Yao clan.

Lu Yao was a little confused.
