Chapter 54 Completing missions
About 30 minutes later, Klaus walked away from the lab with several sheets of paper in his hand and had finished all the work he was supposed to do.
As he read Joan Sanner's writing, he realized that the way these cursed beasts appeared was very unusual —so unusual that he didn't want to turn this over to the organization.
That would be giving them too much information. So he took some time to write similar sheets, but he overlooked what those scientists were investigating and the way those cursed beasts appeared.
'That's better, ' he thought, got up, and walked away from the place, going to perform the second mission.
He hadn't chosen complicated missions because he wanted to check the whole city first. He needed to get to know it first, so he chose missions that were far away from each other.
That's why he also focused on choosing Level 1 Missions, even though, according to his current status, he should be able to select Level 3 or 4 missions without any problems. Considering that there are between 7 and 9 levels for Missions, the Level 3 or 4 ones were pretty good, and the payout they gave him was amazing, even though they were full of dangers.
But for now, he would settle for the Level 1 ones, which don't give bad pay either.
While shopping for clothes earlier, he also asked many questions, looking for information on how much different people in this country made to understand the magnitude of his debt and the money he has right now.
That's where he learned more about the economics of this world.
Being governed by very specific currencies, the control of the economy that large nations have is impressive. To give an example of the three most expensive currencies, the first is Gaia Coin, the second is Carter Coin, and the third is Extreme Coin, or that is how they are commonly known.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Each has notable differences from the other. For example, one Gaia is equivalent to two Carters Coins, which in turn is equivalent to ten Extreme Coins.
The latter is the most widely used currency in all countries since the Extreme Empire that governs it is the most socially and economically stable.
In this country, everything also tends to move in Extreme Coins, even relegating the currency of the Territory, Carter Coin, a little.
In Extreme Coin, the minimum wage in a small country like this tends to be between 400 and 800, which is equivalent to about 80 or 160 Carter Coins.
Depending on where you work, you can earn more, but even with Klaus' knowledge and living in a world similar to his previous world, here, in the first instance, he might not be able to get a very high-paying job for various reasons, but it is possible that it could take him little more than a year working to pay off all his debt.
In this world, there is also something amazing but really bad for people. Because the economy is so tightly controlled, the big nations perfectly control the salary cap. That limit is strictly set at 15,000 Carter Coins; no one who receives a salary can earn more than that, no matter what they do.
Now, things change when it comes to a Sorcerer.
The job of a Sorcerer is dangerous, and only a Sorcerer can do it; it is not a job that can be done with brute force because no matter how physically strong you are if you don't have some kind of energy, you will be able to do absolutely nothing against the cursed beasts.
That's why the best-paying job will always be that of a sorcerer. There is no salary cap because there is no real salary. The contracts given by the organizations to the powerful sorcerer are also not pressured by that salary limit; they have the greatest freedoms.
To give an example, the contract Klaus received from Sua, the one attached to the Red Tower, is a contract that far exceeds that monthly salary cap, so with only a few days in this world, Klaus should be above a large percentage of the world's population in terms of monetary power.
But, it is because of the danger of being a sorcerer that the payoffs are so high. Even for Level 1 within the Etherleaf quests, Klaus wouldn't need to complete too many if he wanted to pay off his debt.
For each quest, he could earn between 60 and 120 Carter Coins; some, the ones that are mandatory to go with several members in the group, can exceed up to 200 Carter Coins. That's why the Level 1 missions were not bad.
They helped him get to know the city and would still get him closer to paying off his debt in case Sua didn't pay it, which was awesome.
As Klaus completed his missions, he was pensive about the whole thing.
He was already beginning to formulate his plans for the future, looking for ways to strengthen himself and continue to make money.
'I should look into building a place to do research. I also need a cell phone and other important things, though they seem to have different uses here than on earth.' He thought, just before delivering the final blow to the last cursed beast.
'I spent more time traveling back and forth in the city than I did finishing these things.' He sighed, grabbed the body, and after talking to the nearby attendant, took his leave and headed towards the organization.
A while later, he let out a long sigh as he walked out the organization's front door after handing over the missions.
'It's getting light out. Because of all the fuss they made in there, I wasted over 1 hour on nonsense. Sigh.' Klaus adjusted his glasses and disappeared into the crowd.
After more than 1 hour of traveling around the city, he arrived at his apartment and laid down for several hours before getting up to train like every day.
'I need to make the workouts shorter. I must figure out several things in the city and go to Red Tower to get my new ID card.' He thought.
He trained for over 4 hours before heading to the city at noon.
Although the sun was up, it was not too hot. This city or the country has a good environment in which to live. There is no excess cold or heat.
'It's not for nothing that they are a country near the north of the world.'
