Chapter 1159 - Long Live Baymard!

Tohji ate fast and jumped out of his seat with his plate, hurrying to the kitchen, before finally leaving the house

"Can you slow down?"

"Not a chance, mom. Wish me luck, guys!"

"Good..."

~Bam!

The door shut tight, and Tohji’s parents could only chuckle silly.

It just so happens that both of them were working afternoon shots, so they stayed at home watching their boy earn his first real pay.

Heh... Should they tell him that he had accidentally buttoned his shirt wrong?

No... It was more fun that way.

And off he went!

Tohji left with a broad smile on his face and his umbrella in his backpack too.

He wore his black rubber rain boots, gloves, card, hat and his thick, oversized, black jacket.

Additionally, the job couldn’t be strenuous.

And after finally getting his approval, he began hunting for any good part-time jobs that hired students.

Luckily for him, the Post office hired him, allowing him to work at most 20 hours a week.

Well, it had nothing to do with pharmacy, but he had to start saving up his own private money and not relying on his parents all the time.

Yes. For Baymardians, they could take student loans... And he could do this when entering the Academy next year.

But he wanted to raise enough for feeding, books and just basic necessities too.

And in the future, he would pay the student loan bit by bit.

That was what everyone he met did.

And if he could even come up with the entire amount for his first year, he wouldn’t even bother applying for a loan and pay it all.

His father worked at the Lumber branch here, while his mother worked at the government office here as a secretary.

So they did have good enough money now.

And they had also just gotten their taxes back too.

So one could say that they were having a blast around this time and had promised to help him with his Academy expenses next year.

He also had an older sister who had married off and actually lived 3 blocks away from them.

Anyway, he couldn’t ask her to help since she had her own family to take care of.

That said, he just wanted to see how much money he could make on his own first.

And so, with a good head on his shoulder, Tohji walked towards the Post office, completely unaware of his shirt situation.

Yes. He would give them a very good first impression.

"Mr. Tohji Linvoln?"

"Yes!" Tohji stood and answered nervously.

His heart was beating so loud that he feared that the supervisor would hear it.

And already, he felt his throat really dry too.

This was his first real job.

So how can he not be anxious?

The supervisor saw him and smiled instead.

It reminded him of the first time he took the job last year.

He too was very nervous while working and learning from those in the Capital city.

"Relax. No need to be nervous. Today is just orientation day... That said, you might want to adjust your buttons before I take you to meet the others."

"...."

Blink. Blink.

Eh?

Tohji looked down and was taken aback.

Mom?!!!

Why didn’t she say anything? No! Why didn’t dad say anything?

So they just watched him leave the house like this?

Or was it that they also didn’t see anything?

Tohji was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole in the ground and bury his head in it.

In short, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

He had been practicing his first impression speeches and moves in the mirror for 2 weeks now, thinking of leaving an impression of a very reliable person to those he met.

But who knew that it would all be ruined by a button?

He quickly adjusted all his buttons and tucked his shirt in again nervously.

But the supervisor seemed very laid back and didn’t seem to mind at all.

"Call me Frank. So... What do I call you?"

"Tohji."

"Good! Good! Well, you’re not the only student we hired. So come. I’ll take you to meet everyone else."

With that, they walked through several doors until they reached a lathe room with a massive table in it.

"Everyone, this is Tohji."

"Welcome, Tohji!"

"Glad to have you onboard, Tohji!"

Everyone warmly welcomed, and Tohji also bowed politely, thanking them before taking his seat.

He saw 2 of his classmates and was shocked.

Aren’t that Ralph and Abu?

Great!

The duo greeted him as well.

And Tohji felt even more comfortable than before.

.

Like so, he had his first orientation meeting ever, with them watching a very brief clip, as well as going over a few things about integrity and whatnot.

Of course, he was also given his Post office work I.D that came straight from the Capital.

Additionally, he had his uniforms and every other thing needed for the task.

For now, he was working part-time.

But when school closed by the end of the month, he would switch to full-time.

And what exactly was he doing?

Of course, he was distributing mail.

For the next 3 months, he had to work with an experienced coworker to distribute mail.

But after that, he could distribute them on his own.

Everything made him very excited.

And after 3 days, he officially began his work, diligently delivering any mail that people received.

He even got to deliver mail to his own home too.

Everything was distributed streetwise, with several teams spread across the entire town.

But you know... The best feeling of all was when he received his pay 2 weeks later.

"Mum! Dad! Look at how much I made!"

Before Baymard took over, he had never dreamt that he would be able to make this much in just 2 weeks.

But now, he couldn’t believe that this was truly his.

He clenched the money and looked heavenwards

May their empire continue to grow and prosper!

Long live Baymard!

...

Like so, countless people within the new regions found bliss under the Baymardian rule.

This was now a typical day in the lives of Baymardians outside the Capital City.
