Hire little monsters in your dreams every day

Chapter 4 Employment
Huff...woo...

A cold wind howled high in the sky.

Wu Yun sat cross-legged on the cloud, going against the track, finding one contestant after another who was about to fall, helping them back up to the cloud, and making his request.

"Post a picture of clouds under Hu Ge's latest Weibo post!"

"Go to Yang Mi's latest Weibo post and reply with a poem about quiet nights!"

“Reply with a mouse emoji in the comments section of Dami Auto’s official Weibo account.”

The track is long and there are many competitors.

Wu Yun used clouds to cover his face, helped one contestant after another, and made different requests to each of them.

He even saw a familiar face, Li Nuanling, shivering on the clouds not far from the starting line of the racetrack!

The guy was wearing a pink windbreaker, a mask, and sunglasses. He was so scared that his face turned pale and he was sweating. Just as he was about to be blown off the clouds by the wind, Wu Yun, who had just arrived, reached out and caught him.

"Remember to post a message on Xiaohongshu after you wake up: 'It's raining every day, I'm so happy!'"

After saying this, under Li Nuanling's grateful, astonished, and puzzled gaze, Wu Yun guessed that the dream was about to end.

but……

"Oh no, I almost forgot."

He turned the cloud around and flew away with a "whoosh," leaving a long, thin trail in the sky that stretched to the horizon, carrying Li Nuanling's incredulous gaze!
……

Midway through the race, a group of people sat on a cloud, braving the cold wind as they struggled forward.

Their sweat had dried in the wind, and their faces were pale.

"Does this race track really have an end?"

Does the so-called Southern Heavenly Gate really exist?

This track is just too long!
The match was incredibly agonizing!
They can't hold on much longer!

Just then, they heard a crisp "whoosh" sound coming from behind, sweeping over their heads and heading towards the distant sky, leaving a thin white line in the sky.

They were utterly horrified.

"What... is this?"

……

In front of the South Heavenly Gate.

The four pale-faced contestants saw on their phone screens that the examiners had scanned a QR code and sent them a prize of 1.00 yuan!
Their faces, stiffened by the wind, now broke into smiles like spring water breaking through ice.

"I received another bonus, that's great!"

"I have a three-yuan bonus."

"I only have two yuan."

"We are flying faster and faster."

Just then, they heard a crisp "whoosh" sound coming from behind, sweeping over their heads and heading towards the distant sky, leaving a thin white line in the sky.

They looked at the sky, then at each other, their faces filled with disbelief.

"That was... someone flew over?"

……

In the vast sky.

Several young men dressed in long robes and wearing jade crowns were biting their pale lips, sitting cross-legged on the clouds, flying towards the distant horizon.

They had already reached the finish line and collected their prize money.

At this moment, their destination was none other than the other floating islands in the sky!
call……

A cold wind blew, and they swayed.

Although the long flight had almost drained their physical strength and energy...

Although those floating islands are really too far away, far too far away...

Although the match was about to end, they couldn't stay in this sky any longer...

Although, by all accounts, it seems highly unlikely that they will successfully reach their destination...

But what if?
What if we can get there? What if we can find one or two treasures left in those ruins?

Liu Mian from Jizhou took out a white pill from her bosom, put it into her mouth with trembling hands, and quickly chewed it.

The aroma of the medicine filled my throat, and I felt a surge of energy.

Just as he was about to pull himself together, he suddenly heard a crisp "whoosh" sound coming from behind him, sweeping over his head and heading towards the distant sky, leaving a thin white line in the sky.

Liu Mian paused for a moment, then instantly realized what had happened.

His face turned pale.

His shoulders slumped, his speed suddenly slowed down, and he seemed to have lost the motivation to move forward.

call……

A cold wind blew by, and he remembered his father's words. A cold smile crept onto his lips.

Although her father didn't know why such a terrifyingly talented prodigy would appear among the lowly commoners of the lower realm, it didn't matter.

“The lowly people of the lower realm, no matter how strong or fast they are, can only be our tools.”

……

call……

A cold wind swept across the ruins, swirled on the high stone platform, and blew onto the three gold, silver, and jade artifacts in the center of the platform, as well as onto the nineteen sables around it.

Mink Baibai glanced at the floating island behind her... They had been on this island since birth. As far back as they could remember, only minks and ruins remained. They had never seen anyone else, only heard stories of the legendary Immortal Boss from their parents. They had heard that Immortal Bosses varied in quality, but the one they had encountered seemed quite good.

It looked up at the sky again, its tail swaying listlessly behind it.

So... is the boss coming today?
The sables glanced at the four gold, silver, and jade artifacts... They probably knew these were valuable items. But normally, sables didn't care for such things. They couldn't eat or drink them, and it was only after a merchant offered to trade them peaches that they began searching frantically through these ruins. Finding these four items today had already taken them a tremendous effort.

It looked up at the sky again, its beard trembling in the wind.

So... is the boss coming today?
Mink glanced at the two peaches hanging around its neck... On this island, the only edible things were wild grasses, all kinds of sour, bitter, spicy, non-toxic, and poisonous wild grasses. Only after the boss arrived did they get to eat the legendary peaches.

It looked up at the sky again, its dark, bright eyes reflecting the sky.

So... is the boss coming today?
It's getting dark, isn't it?

The sky has turned light blue.

Faint stars were already visible behind the drifting clouds.

Based on the events of the past few days, the boss is probably...

Sa!
Just then, a shooting star streaked across the sky and came into view!
In the blink of an eye, the meteor fell to the ground, dust and smoke scattered, and clouds dispersed!
The nineteen minks were blown off balance by the strong wind that suddenly rose from the ground, causing them to stumble, roll, and retreat, their eyes unable to open and their whiskers plastered to their faces.

They had just gotten up and were about to be frightened when they saw the immortal boss sitting on a cloud, bending down to take away the gold, silver and jade artifacts they had found, and then putting down dozens of peaches.

Their eyes were shining, and they were about to rejoice when they saw the figure of the fairy boss gradually dim and become blurred. Finally, they saw the boss's smiling face disappear into the lingering smoke and dust and the faint night.

Mink Blackie got up and ran to the pile of peaches left by the boss. To her surprise, she found that this was more than she had ever been given before!

"Ow!"

But the amount of goods they delivered to the boss didn't increase!
Mink Flower also came over, stretched out her front paws, and quickly counted the items.

"Ahhh, ahhhh!"

It has discovered the key!

There are a total of thirty-eight peaches here, and nineteen sables on the island, with two peaches for each sable!

Mink Huhu, Mink Jianjian, Mink Wanwan, Mink Baibai... all gathered around, each mink chattering away, recalling what their parents had taught them: there were many ways for the Immortal Boss and the minks to make transactions!
"Awooo, awooo!"

"Waaaaah!"

They unanimously agreed that this most likely indicates that the rules of the trade between the Immortal Boss and them have changed!

Realizing this, all the minks became excited!
"Ouch!"

"嘤嘤嘤!"

"Ouch!"

Under the starlight, on the high platform, they held up peaches, swaying and dancing in circles!

Now, the bosses are no longer "bartering peaches," but rather hiring them!
Daily wage: two peaches per mink per day!
