I'm the King Of Technology

Back in Baymard, the rescued civilians who had decided to follow the Baymardian soldiers back..... were already well settled in, and now fully integrated into the system.

It's been over 5 weeks since some of them got here.

Of course.... some had been hospitalized, while others had immediately begun work around Baymard.

The morning had come too soon.

Today, Muriel had gotten up very early in the morning due to sheer excitement.

She yawned and looked at her clock which hadn't even alarmed yet.

Dammit!

It was still 4:30 A.M, and she had to go to be at work by 9 A.M instead.

So she tried to force herself back to sleep again.

But no matter how hard she tried, it was no use.

Her heart continued to beat slightly louder than usual.... as she was indeed feeling her nervous.

Today, she would begin work in Baymard!

Now, as someone who was already used to work... one would think that she wouldn't be this anxious at all.

She was used to cleaning, being a maid for nobles and working for more than 17 hours..... as maid duties never stop until their master went to bed.

And no matter how much she worked, the pay was never enough for all the hours and workloads that she had put in.

Maids typically worked like so and had it hard.

Not to talk about the fact that they were risking their lives on a daily basis.

Be it standing in for their masters during kidnappings, taking beatings from their masters for not getting the right outfit or even hairdo... as well as being put to death for crimes that they might not or might have done under the influence of their master.

In short, no matter how one looked at it..... those who typically worked for nobles were screwed.

So that was why she had taken the risk of coming to Baymard with her little brother after being rescued.

In fact, the only good thing about being a maid... was that the off days were food.

She could work for an entire month and have a week and a half off later on.

.

When she had been rescued, she was shocked at the fact that her saviours were from Baymard.

Who hadn't heard of Baymard before?

Sure, she had family back in Arcadina.

But they were very distant relatives, who were had sold her and her brother to those Teriquen bastards.

So she didn't feel the need to go back to Arcadina.

Anyway, as someone who used to work several odd jobs, as well as be a maid... Muriel was extremely pleased with the way Baymard turned our to be.

She had observed the independent nature of the women here.... as well as the fact that they got paid more and by the hour too.

And to make things even more likable, they were only allowed to work 8 hours maximum a day no matter the job.

This was like heaven to her ears.

Did this mean that she wouldn't need to work for close to 17 hours again?

Sure, Baymard wasn't perfect and had its own flaws too... but for her, the place was paradise on Hertfilia.

As for her new job, even though it had been briefly explained to her..... she still didn't know much about it, except that it involved the food industry.

Cereal.... what was that?

.

For the past 2 days, she along with many others..... had successfully completed the introductory work procedures within the Food industry

They had a checkup session with the industry's clinic, went over health and safety procedures, had briefings on their individual jobs.... and had a grand tour of the entire industry as well.

They had also been given calendars, pens, planners and a cup that had the Food industry's logo and name on it.

Of course Muriel felt like these items were special, so she neatly displayed them in her room instead.

In addition to that, they were assigned lockers and given their work safety gear as well.

So with all that out of the way, now they could finally focus on the job at hand.

Muriel quickly took her bath and went to the kitchen to start prepping breakfast for her 11-year-old brother.

And once her brother actually woke up, cleaned up and took his own breakfast..... Muriel made sure that he entered the school bus, before finally making her way to work.

.

Standing outside the massive 4-storey building, Muriel was completely shocked by how many people were hired.

The entire place was crowded, like a school of fish swimming in the ocean.

Everyone began conversing with themselves..... as well as making new friends too, while waiting for their supervisors to arrive.

They continued guessing what their jobs entailed, while constantly looking at their watches.

Soon, it would be time for their supervisors to show up.

"Muriel! Muriel! Muriel!"

Looking around, she immediately spotted her new friend Kate.... who she had befriended several weeks ago.

"Muriel!..... I finally found you!

Ahh... I'm still very nervous....."

"Me too..... the pay is really good..... so I don't want to mess this up.

But... do you know what this cereal thing is?"

"No.... but from the employment letter, there are 6 main sectors as of now.

▪The Honey Nut Cheerios sector

▪Cap'n Crunch sector

▪Corn Pops

▪Corn Flakes

▪Froot Loops

▪Apple \u0026 cinnamon Quaker Oats

▪\u0026 Quaker original instant oatmeal sector

And from the looks of it, I'll be working within the 'Corn Flakes' sector."

"Eh?.... me too!

That's my sector as well!"

"Really?

Thank goodness!

'Phew!'

I won't have to work alone."

"Well, don't get happy just yet.

Even though we might be in the same sector, have you forgotten that each sector has different divisions based on the production phase?

At least from what the letter says, we might also have different job titles as well."

"Sigh.... you're right.

But I'm crossing my fingers for this one.

Ahh!.... shhhhh!.... people are coming out of the building."

--silence--

The entire place became as quiet as a graveyard when they spotted the group of supervisors approaching them.

A small speech was given, before all of them were first grouped as per their cereal sectors.

From there, each group was then introduced to the Head supervisor \u0026 Project Manager of the entire sector... followed by roll call.

Muriel listened attentively, while clenching her fists with a more determined mind.

Today, she would do her best!

"Alright...

Please follow your head supervisors to your different sectors.

And once more.... welcome to the Food industry!"
