Upon hearing Sean's question, Bob immediately moved his arm to show Sean and said with a chuckle, "Commander Lennon, my arm has pretty much recovered. It doesn't affect my life. I can still do labor work! It's just that I have only one arm left, and the factories and mines don't want me..."
Bob's expression darkened again at the end of his speech.
Sean performed the amputation, and the surgery was successful with no after-effects.
However, he lost an arm after all. He could not work like regular people anymore. He had also approached the coal mine he used to work at to find a job, but they rejected him.
As a man, he had no job and depended on his wife and daughter—It was something no man could accept unless this man had no shame.
"Don't worry. I will help you find a job. You need more rest."
Sean said to Bob.
To reassure Bob and prevent him from thinking he was only comforting him, Sean added, "We lack someone to manage the canteen warehouse at the city defense army's main camp. You could be the warehouse keeper. It's not labor work. You can consider it a desk job. Of course, it doesn't pay much—only 3,000 Dragon Dollars a month."
Bob was thrilled once he heard the words "3,000 Dragon Dollars".
After all, he used to work his butt off in the coal mine, only to be paid little more than 2,000 Dragon Dollars a month.
Managing a warehouse sounded like a much easier job than working in a coal mine, and the pay was much higher. How could Bob not be happy with that?
However, Sean suddenly remembered something and asked, "You can read, right? Can you do basic reading, writing, and arithmetic?"
Primary school students in Dragon Kingdom were required to master basic reading, writing, and mathematics, but they were in the City-State Union and the slum. Sean was unsure whether Bob could do it.
After all, there were many poor people in the slum who did not know a single word, and many had never been to school.
