After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World

Chapter 1175: First Town Hires!

Chapter 1175: First Town Hires!

At Level 1 Town level, the limitations in hiring via the Center were the same, but the pool they could choose from was until this Class C tier. 

This was unless they got lucky again like how they got Betty, Oslo, and Rowan—who really had no way to be in the Village Pool unless there were extenuating circumstances.

An example of a lucky break at their current level would be when someone from the City decided to get hired at Level 1 Towns, which was unlikely. 

First, it was an instinct for this world to grow stronger—and be associated with stronger territories. 'Moving Down' was generally seen as a stupid move by crazy people.

Not to mention—while it was easy to grow stagnant after a certain level because of the sheer amount of elite monsters they had to kill—Cities had one thing that could help people level up without having to do so: Aether Stones. 

After all, it was difficult to level up the natural way because, for people past Level 40, this meant hunting for hundreds of monsters five or so levels below them. 

Monsters past Level 30 were practically giants already. It would be a challenge to kill even one! 

At the same time, not leveling up meant accepting the limitations of their strengths and their lifespans—who would be reconciled? 

The only reason someone from a City would downgrade was if they had already given up on life and just wanted to naturally consume the rest of their lifespans. 

Second, those people who wanted to retire to weaker territories were likely to choose Level 3 Towns because the benefits of staying in Towns were the same, while the lifestyle was closest to that of a City. 

This was primarily attributed to the defensive amenities and the System Buildings available at that level compared to those in lower tiers. 

If there was a way for them to send reverse-messages to the Chancery (to say that they had so-and-so amenities), they would have. Sadly, there was no such feature and they had to rely on word-of-mouth to gather high-tier talents they wanted. 

Speaking of higher-tier talents: 

The next tier of hires—typically available at Level 3 Towns and Cities—were Class B professionals or people at the Level 31-40 range. 

Their basic salary was 30 gold, which would double if they were elementalists. Finally, Class A or Level 41 and above had a basic salary of 50 gold. 

These salaries, even in Cities, were extremely well-off. Once they become a City, the Elder salaries would probably match those prices too. 

Anyway, in hiring this time, she didn't have to be so stingy because the local salaries were more or less matched with whatever the Chancery asked them to pay. 

This meant she could just hire regardless of whether or not the job could be filled by local manpower.

In that case, they could just send the Aborigine hires to either associate villages or to their citizens looking to hire. Alterra would just gain some commissions for brokering the deal.
