Demonic Pornstar System novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Buying Tools

It was funny seeing such a macho man be embarrassed about this topic.

Kaiden tried his hardest to look into his trainer's eyes without trembling from soreness. He extended a hand towards Liam. "Thanks, I can tell that you will help me attain what I want."

The hulking man accepted the handshake with a firm grip of his own. "I didn't want to say this, but seeing your dedication, I can't help but want to do something for you. My good friend runs a bar, and he has trouble finding reliable waiters who work the night shift. I can't help you land the job, but if you wish, I can give you his phone number."

Kaiden's eyes shined brightly due to the sudden opportunity that presented itself in front of him. "Can you give me an estimate of how much the hourly wage would be?"

Liam thought inwardly for a second while shamelessly glancing towards Aria's wildly jiggling behind before replying, "I suppose it would be in the $15 ballpark, but I can't say for certain. Waiters make their money from tips, which would ideally add another $15 to $60 per hour." _{ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom}

Yes, even the appearance of the apocalypse didn't change the tendency of the hospitality industry to underpay their serving staff and force the customers to pay it in their stead in the form of tips.

As for why were people even working such jobs in the age of mana and monsters?

Only a small portion of humanity, about 15%, were awakeners. The rest lived normal lives that were almost identical to the one humanity led before the arrival of the apocalypse. The only difference was that sometimes they got eaten by a rogue monster or squashed to death by an awakened who was fighting another one.

'Hmm. If I work 6 hours a day and sleep 8, then I will have all the money I need and also be able to train to my heart's content. Sounds as good of a deal as I'll get before the month is up. I don't have the luxury of searching for the most ideal hiring, and getting accepted within a few days is another issue to consider altogether.'

Kaiden said his goodbyes, washed up in the shower facility, then stepped out of the building to visit a grocery store and stocked up on all the nutrients he was supposed to be consuming. He ended up spending another painful $100, though it should last him for a few days at least.

Once he was done with that, he checked his banking app.
