Chapter 1298: Chapter 727: Departure (2)
That was also a Witch Elder.
The Witch Elder checked the goods and, seeing they were intact, signed for them with satisfaction.
Just as you were happily thinking this order was finally over and you could get the hefty commission from the witch order, suddenly, this recipient pulled out a Magic Wand, and a Fireball Technique directly burned you to ashes.
Well, this was actually a smuggling order. Otherwise, why would the Witch Elder choose you, a cheap exotic logistics courier?
Now that the goods are delivered, your mission is complete, and to eliminate evidence, you were silenced.
In short, all sorts of shipments.
Of course, if you were a Witch Courier, the situation would be much better. At least you’d rarely encounter unclear deaths like being bitten to death by a dog. Even if you were a Weak Witch and couldn’t defeat the sender’s Hellhound, being a witch means that pets of proper law-abiding witches would never dare to show their teeth to a witch.
You could even boldly deal with this vicious dog, and it would willingly offer up the other two heads for you to continue.
Of course, hitting a dog also depends on the owner. Before acting, you should weigh whether you’re justified; otherwise, if the owner challenges you to a duel, you’d be in deep trouble.
Also, when picking up orders, you need to be more alert so you don’t accidentally accept a smuggling order and get caught up in a conflict between two Witch Territories.
And be cautious when joining courier guilds. If you accidentally join a black-hearted guild, working around the clock without earning much isn’t worth it.
Of course, if you’re still worried about your safety, you can buy Golden Country transportation insurance when accepting orders; that way, you’re quite stable. Even if you do end up dying, you can rest in peace knowing the Good Sisters from Golden Country insurance will surely avenge you.
No one can make Golden Country lose money.
If you dare make Golden Country lose money, you might as well give your life.
If a customer buys insurance and still dies, after Golden Country compensates, the Dragon Witch Good Sisters in their security department, who happen to be feeling itchy-handed, will immediately sweep through the nearby courier routes.
Thus, Golden Country transportation insurance sometimes acts as a life-saving token, and wandering thieves’ guilds will directly give way upon seeing it.
Just that the insurance costs are a bit pricey.
Anyway, whether it’s exotic courier or small witch courier, living is quite tough; the job is too risky. If there’s no high profit, who would do it?
Thus, courier fees naturally have to go up.
And those living relatively comfortably are the large courier logistics societies. These societies are either formed by Armed Witches or veteran Calamities or strong otherworldly races.
Their own strength is hard enough, so they naturally fear no transportation risks and can deliver worldwide.
But if these masters charge too low, who would deliver goods? Going to the frontline to fight earns more, alright. They run courier services for the money, less work, and closeness to home.
Of course, the most comfortable are undoubtedly the Spatial Transmission Couriers. As long as the sender gives a coordinate and the recipient gives a coordinate, a Spatial Transmission Magic sends the package effortlessly, and the high courier fee is at hand, very leisurely.
It’s just that the entry threshold for this line of work is a bit high. Spatial Talent is the minimum threshold, but how many noble Spatial Talents would lower themselves to become ordinary couriers?
The superior elders always only take big orders; they don’t even look at small orders.
Therefore, in the Witch World, if you can avoid online shopping, do so. Offline Witches’ Specialty Stores are quite appealing for buying rare materials.
Of course, rich ladies can do as they please; as long as they’re happy.
Dorothy, this poor soul, previously couldn’t afford online shopping either. She’d usually either send her sister to run errands or have her dad bring something back after work.
This time, she begrudgingly decided to send a package, but now it seems fate saved her that expense.
Well, no shipping. Since it’s en route, she decided to earn the courier fee herself and deliver it personally.
She only regrets not having enough Magic Power; otherwise, with the Gap Skill she now possesses, she could easily become a Senior Courier and earn a few small goals monthly.
A homebody witch doesn’t have the “dignity” of a noble Spatial Talent courier; she’s already a construction worker. As long as she can make money, she doesn’t mind moonlighting as a courier.
Speaking of which, it seems the top logistics society currently includes the “Subspace Society.” Those Four Great Calamities in the Judgment Court seem to handle all types of work. Dorothy is considering visiting Aunt Miko to see if she can join them.
Let’s all make money together; it seems reasonable for the Subspace Four Peddlers to have five people.
Although her current Magic Power can’t afford long-distance transmission, she can still accept local express delivery orders.
Even if short-distance courier pays less, no one competes with her anyway. Other Spatial Users may look down on such small orders, but she doesn’t mind.
For Dorothy, as long as she can earn some meal money, it’s fine.
“Alright, report complete. I’m free now, and ready to set off anytime. Is there anything else you need to prepare?”
