Chapter Forty-Nine: Don't You Want to Lose Your Money?
Lin Ye sent a confirmation order, hired the purgatory golddigger named 'Research Daydudu', and mentally prepared to face the terrifying beast.
According to the introduction, the Nugget Beast should be more than eight meters long, more than four meters high, a pair of thick sharp horns on the top of its head, thick limbs like King Kong, claws comparable to excavators, full of red scales and dark gold stripes, behemoths, looking super powerful and domineering.
Lin Ye was ready to look up at it, but when the teleportation ended, his vision was not obscured by the giant beast, and the valley in front of him was still so empty......
No! What is it?
Something had indeed been teleported, but it was not the imaginary beast of domineering, it was a little guy not much bigger than a pet dog, belly up, lying on all fours in a pile of weeds.
So small?
Although Lin Ye felt strange, he hadn't realized that something was wrong, and he thought that high-level demon beasts should have such a transformation ability and could change their size at will.
But then, the little creature lay there motionless, only whining, like a groan of pain after an injury.
Lin Ye cautiously walked over and looked down, only to see it slowly open a pair of orange-yellow eyes, and spat out to himself: "Dear mercenary, thank you for hiring me......"
It speaks Mandarin, which is not surprising, after all, it is a monster with a high level of intelligence, and the mercenary system will also give it this ability.
However, it looked weak, which made Lin Ye feel that something was wrong, so he asked it, "You are the Purgatory Gold Nuggger, why are you so small?"
"I was badly injured and dying. It groaned.
No way!
Lin Ye chuckled in his heart, and immediately realized that this time the employment was unlucky, and it was likely to lose money.
This kind of thing is not to blame the system, because there have always been relevant reminders: employment is risky, confirm that you need to be cautious!
This kind of thing is like hiring employees in the talent market, you may not always be able to recruit employees who are satisfactory to you, so there will be a probationary period of protection.
But during the probationary period, the employer also has to pay salaries, but the money is less.
It's the same with hiring demons, short-term employment is, to some extent, a trial effect, and if the employer is very satisfied with it, he can negotiate the possibility of long-term employment with him.
The risk here is that if you hire a demon with a big problem, the trial fee will definitely be lost, and even if you are not satisfied with it, the punishment can only be a satisfactory evaluation and give it a big zero score.
Now, Lin Ye thinks that this time he was very unlucky to hire a demon with a big problem, it was actually seriously injured, and it looked like it might hang up at any time, how could it work hard for us?
"My lord, what are you thinking, why don't you speak?"
The Nuggets writhed on the ground, as if trying to roll over, but it was a little difficult to do.
"I'm waiting for you to die and bury you. ”
Lin Ye replied angrily, and complained in his heart: You are like a bear, why do you still accept employment, isn't this obviously cheating me!
"But I think I can still be saved. ”
The little guy is also intelligent, and he knew that Lin Ye must be very, very dissatisfied at this time, so he hurriedly said: "Thank you, respected mercenary, for hiring me at the most critical moment and saving me from the Demon Domain." ”
As soon as he said this, Lin Ye also understood that it was actually our employment behavior, which saved its life at a critical moment, teleported it from the Demon Domain, and escaped the pursuit of a powerful enemy.
This reason made the chagrin in Lin Ye's heart dissipate a lot, and he changed places, in exchange for our own danger, it is impossible to give up such a life-saving opportunity stupidly, and we will definitely accept the employment as soon as possible and escape from the danger immediately.
Lin Ye squatted down and looked at it: "Say, save you, how much does it cost me, and what benefits can you bring me?"
You're a badly injured and dying demon, and hired you, this time I'm already going to lose money, if I have to spend more demon coins to save you, I'm sorry, Lord Ben can't do it, it's not like that.
But this sentence still gave the Nuggets Beast a glimmer of hope for survival, and it was in high spirits, and said with a snort: "It doesn't cost much, my lord, I promise, when I get better, I will definitely repay you tenfold and hundredfold, and the employment fee this time can definitely be earned." ”
"Do you feel ......?"
Lin Ye waved his hand and gestured around: "The problem is that this world is not suitable for cultivation, and there are no heavenly treasures that can bring your demon beasts back to life, do you think you can survive in such a world?"
"You don't need that, you don't need that. ”
It squirmed a few more times and asked, "My lord, can you help me turn over, I feel very tired to talk like this." ”
"I thought you liked it like that. ”
Lin Ye sighed, held it with both hands, and helped it turn over like a puppy.
The scales on this guy's whole body seem to have softened, and instead of pricking his hands, they have a soft and smooth touch.
"Ah, that's a lot more comfortable. ”
It lay on its stomach on the ground, let out a long exhale, and an orange-yellow unknown liquid flowed from the corner of its mouth, I don't know if it was saliva or its blood.
"How did you get so small?"
Lin Ye already had a certain degree of understanding of the characteristics of the demon, so he asked it, "Is this being beaten back to its original form?"
"Almost, if it gets smaller, the energy consumption will be much less, and the loss of life force will be slowed down a lot......"
It slowly explained, "Otherwise, I would have died a long time ago, and I would not have survived until now." ”
"It's pretty cute, a toy pillow in the form of a monster. ”
Lin Ye muttered, and asked it again: "Who made it so miserable?"
"A very unreasonable black dragon of hell. ”
At the mention of this, it whined and cried aggrievedly: "I just accidentally dug its hidden gold hole, I didn't know that it was its territory, this guy almost melted me on the spot with a bite of dragon breath, and planted a soul tracking mark on me, and chased and killed all over the world without relentlessness." ”
Hell Black Dragon?
Lin Ye knew that the employment price of an adult black dragon was eighty gold coins per day for the cheapest, and just by looking at the price, he knew that the weakest black dragon was also dozens of times stronger than the fox demon of the Dan stage.
"You provoked a black dragon, and you can survive, which is considered a bit of ability. ”
Lin Ye patted the little head of the Nuggets, and felt that its horns were as hard as steel.
"I'm a good driller, and I still have some skills to escape. ”
The Nugget Beast gasped: "My lord, the Hell Black Dragon is very vengeful, I think that within thirty or fifty years, I will not dare to go back to the Demon Domain, and I must wait until the soul mark it planted for me will naturally dissipate." ”
"Thirty or fifty years?"
Lin Ye's heart moved, and he immediately realized that this time the employment might not be a loss, but would ......
Then he asked tentatively: "Do you want to sign a long-term employment agreement with me and hide from me for thirty or fifty years?"
"Uh-huh!"
It's also quite cute, with big round eyes radiating a pitiful pleading, and nodding obediently is quite funny.
"It's not that it can't be done, the point is, it can't make me lose money. ”
Lin Ye smiled, raised one of its small front paws again, and tested the sharpness of the tip of the claw: "Let's not say those hypocritical words, it's very simple, as long as it can help me make money, it doesn't matter how long I hire you." ”
(Coffee: This book was first published at the beginning, so I just learned that many old readers and friends are still reading the book at Genesis and have given me a lot of tips, recommendations, and encouragement...... I was really touched, I didn't expect that you were still supporting me for so long, and you didn't give up on me because of my continuous failures...... Thank you for your tolerance, love, and perseverance!)
