Chapter 195: An Invitation to the Expedition
Jiang Ping raised his head and glanced at the other party when he heard the sound, lowered his head again, and said, "I'm sorry, we are not interested!" ”
Jiang Ping's attitude did not scare off the bartender, nor did it cause him the slightest displeasure, he still said with a smile on his face: "The two are explorers, they must have come here to pan for gold, that gentleman's explorer team is short of people, and he is recruiting some good players, and the gentleman said that as long as the two meet his conditions, he can offer a price that makes the two of them tempted." ”
Jiang Pingzheng was about to excuse himself impatiently, but Fujiwara Masami stopped him on the side, showing a tempting look, and said, "Oh, then I don't know what price that gentleman can offer, you must know that Lu Dao, if you want to hire us, you can't do it without spending a lot of money." ”
The bartender whispered, "It's up to the two of you to talk to the gentleman personally." The gentleman said that the higher the skill, the higher the pay, even the average explorer can get at least 10,000 federal dollars per month. ”
"Oh, really?" Fujiwara Masami smiled noncommittally and said, "Ten thousand federal coins a month?" The price didn't appeal to us yet. But I heard you say that the higher your skills, the higher the reward, and I'm a little interested. ”
After that, she turned her head and asked Jiang Ping, "Kang Pingjun, what do you think, do you want to try it?" ”
Jiang Ping still looked uninterested, and said, "Why do we want to join them?" Wouldn't it be nice to go it alone? I'm not interested! ”
When Fujiwara Masami saw it, she couldn't help but secretly slander in her heart, if you want to act, this is inevitably too much, right? If you refuse, you finally have such an opportunity, and it looks like it's going to be in vain!
Thinking about it, she couldn't help but glared at the other party, and continued to persuade: "Kang Pingjun, why don't you listen to that gentleman talk about the conditions, whether to join or not at that time, isn't it up to us to decide?" ”
Jiang Ping pondered again, and then said, "Okay, Xia Zi, since you are so insistent." It's up to you. But I still think so. I'm not much in favor of joining any of the explorers. ”
Masami Fujiwara ignored his "gibberish" and turned to the bartender and asked, "Where is that gentleman, can you please come over and have a discussion?" ”
The bartender said, "Wait a minute! ”
As he spoke, he turned around and nodded to a corner, and after a look, he saw a person standing up from a dark corner of the bar and walking towards Jiang Ping and the others.
This is a neat black suit. With a shrewd face, he looks like a middle-aged businessman. The middle-aged man walked straight to the wine table of the two of them and introduced himself: "My name is Oliver, the manager of the Redfish Expedition, it's a pleasure to meet the two!" ”
Regardless of the two of them, they just sat down next to them. The bartender turned and walked away. I greeted another guest and went.
Fujiwara Masami smiled at the visitor and nodded, "Mr. Oliver, it's a pleasure to meet you." My name is Natsuko Matsuyama, and this is Yasuhei-kun Sugimoto. ”
The middle-aged Oliver nodded and smiled at the two of them, and asked tentatively, "Are the two explorers?" ”
Fujiwara Masami said: "Yes, we heard that the gem mine here in Pegasus Star has a good harvest, so we specially came all the way here to pan for gold and explore." ”
Oliver asked again, "Oh? So I wonder what the two of you can gain now? ”
Fujiwara Masami shook her head and said, "We've just arrived here. Nothing has been gained yet. I don't know how to start. ”
Oliver groaned for a moment and said, "Yes." So I wonder if you can give you a little advice for both of you? ”
Fujiwara Masami looked deaf and said, "Of course, please ask Mr. Oliver for advice?" ”
Oliver began to talk eloquently: "There are indeed a lot of gem mines on the moons near Pegasus, but most of the gem mines in those safe places have been patronized and looted by the explorers who came one after another, and in such a place, it is difficult to find valuable gem mines, and now this kind of exploration business is becoming more and more difficult to do." There are many explorers who spend months working and find nothing. ”
When Fujiwara Masami heard this, she followed the other party's meaning and said with a sad face: "In this way, I originally thought that there was a good deal here, and I rushed here to make a little fortune, but I didn't expect to run empty again, it's really disappointing!" ”
Oliver changed his tone at this time, smiled, and continued, "Miss Natsuko, you don't have to be disappointed. In fact, there are still many undeveloped areas in the nearby star field, and there are still a lot of gem mines waiting to be discovered. It's just that such a zone contains dangers, and ordinary people dare not set foot in it. ”
Masami Fujiwara was surprised: "Is this true? Are there any untapped gem mines? Even if there are some dangers, we are not afraid! ”
Oliver nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes, but such areas are generally very dangerous and not suitable for explorers to go alone, so we organized an expedition team." ”
After a pause, he said straight to the point: "Just now I saw the two of them dealing with those big men, which is very good, our Redfish Expedition is recruiting people, and we are very welcome to two explorers with such strength, I wonder if the two of them have the intention of joining?" ”
Jiang Ping interjected at this time: "We don't plan to join any explorer team, we have joined before, but because of the uneven distribution of interests, the final result is very unpleasant, and even turned against each other. ”
Oliver listened and hurriedly promised, "Mr. Sugimoto Kohei, I can assure you that joining our Redfish Expedition will never happen like what you said. Our expedition team has plenty of funds, and if you join us, you will not only get a fixed high salary every month, but you will also get additional dividends if you have anything to gain! ”
Fujiwara Masami asked, "So how much can your expedition pay us?" ”
Oliver said: "It depends on your own strength and how much you contribute to the team. I would like to ask, what is the acceptable salary level for the two of you? ”
Fujiwara Masami glanced at Jiang Ping, pondered for a moment, and said tentatively: "If you can give each of us a reward of 50,000 Federation Coins per month, we may consider joining you!" ”
Hearing this number, Oliver's brow couldn't help but furrow. When Masami Fujiwara saw this, she couldn't help asking, "Why, does Mr. Oliver find this salary very difficult?" ”
After a pause, he said with some disdain: "I thought that your Redfish Expedition was a powerful team, but I didn't expect that it would be disappointing that you couldn't even get such a salary!" ”
Oliver hurriedly said, "No, Miss Natsuko, you misunderstood. The salary you mentioned, our expedition team can definitely get it, but this is already at the level of senior team members, and I can't be completely in charge, and our captain has the final say. ”
Fujiwara Masami couldn't help but ask, "Your captain?" Who is your captain? ”
Oliver shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm sorry, I can't tell you about this right now. ”
Fujiwara Masami said: "Okay, since you can't call the shots in this matter, then you go and talk to your captain, the monthly salary of 50,000 federal coins is our bottom line, if it weren't for the lack of money, we wouldn't have traveled all the way here to pan for gold!" ”
Seeing the two of them clean up the skills of those big men just now, Oliver was very impressed by the two of them, and he was not willing to give up easily, he pondered for a while, and suddenly asked: "I wonder if the two of you can pilot the spaceship, how about the skills?" ”
Fujiwara Masami was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
Oliver laughed inexplicably at her. Fujiwara Masami stopped laughing, pointed at Jiang Ping, and said, "Mr. Oliver, you can be regarded as asking someone this question." Kang Pingjun is a good fighter at flying spaceships, and he is no worse than his professional level! ”
When Oliver heard this, his expression was immediately overjoyed, his eyes looked at Jiang Ping, and said, "Is that so, that's great!" Our team is short of people to pilot ships, and if Mr. Sugimoto is a master of this, then this will be much easier. With the two extraordinary skills, coupled with the skill of piloting spaceships, it is not a problem for me to be a senior team member. ”
Fujiwara Masami smiled and said, "So, your team is willing to pay a salary of 50,000 federal coins per month?" ”
Oliver nodded and said, "Yes." However, I will have to ask the captain to confirm this matter, but if Mr. Sugimoto really has a superb flying spaceship skill, I don't think it will be a problem. ”
Hearing this, Fujiwara Masami looked at Jiang Ping and asked, "Kang Ping-kun, what is your opinion?" ”
Jiang Ping still said with a reluctant face: "Xia Zi, I don't think we need to join them at all......"
Fujiwara Masami secretly slandered in her heart: You are still pretending!
She stopped the other party's words and said, "Kang Pingjun, didn't you hear Mr. Oliver's words just now, the gem mine is not so easy to find now, and the place where there are gems is very dangerous, do you want to come here for nothing?" You know, we're waiting for a sum of money! ”
Mr. Oliver was also trying to persuade him.
Jiang Ping finally agreed, as if helpless, and said, "Okay, Xia Zi, I can't talk about you." ”
As he spoke, he turned to Oliver, "Mr. Oliver, can we sign a short-term employment contract first?" After all, we don't know much about your team, so we'll have to see what happens. ”
Oliver's eyes flashed, but he agreed, and said, "This, of course, I believe that the two of you who joined our team will not regret it!" ”
Seeing that this matter was decided, Oliver looked happy, rubbed his hands, and said, "Then, if the two of you have nothing else to do now, you can go to our temporary camp with me, and when we get there, we will first see Mr. Sugimoto's spaceship piloting skills, and then agree on the details of the employment contract, what do you two think?" ”
The two of them did not disagree at this time, and the three of them got up, led by Oliver, out of the bar, and walked towards the temporary camp of the Redfish Expedition, which he had spoken. (To be continued.) )
