......
The weekly salary of 20,000 gold coins is really too amazing, so not only are there a large number of people who come here, but also many famous super mercenaries, making this little-known tavern flourish for a while. Su Wen was busy until the second half of the night, and the bustling crowd outside finally dispersed, but he did not make a decision to recruit any mercenaries, no matter how strong his strength and brilliant experience were, he used the rhetoric of waiting for notice to send away.
At first, Xiao Shi thought that Su Wen planned to seriously consider it, and wait for the recruits to come in the next few days, and then make a unified decision. However, when the first round of interviews was over, Su Wen threw all the thick stacks of resumes and materials he collected into the trash......
She finally couldn't sit still anymore.
"Hey, Dad, you're too much, aren't there any of them that you like?!Most of them are very good mercenaries!"
Su Wen raised his eyes to the sky and said wistfully: "Having said that, they are not suitable. ”
Xiao Shi was very mad: "You are not here to recruit mercenaries at all, but to recruit marriage!"
"I'm married, thank you. ”
"So what the hell are you fussy?"
"Well, if anything, these people are missing one thing. ”
"What is it, in the [Harmony] membrane?"
"Pure heart. ”
"Poof!"
Xiao Shi clearly didn't drink water, but she still squirted out a mouthful of water, and she was choked a lot, and then she covered her stomach and rolled her eyes and snorted: "Dad, are you going to laugh at me so that I can inherit my proliferator?"
Su Wen was dissatisfied: "Tsk, I'm very serious, it doesn't matter to me whether my strength is strong or not, of course it's better to be strong, but if there is no such thing, how can I trust it with confidence?" The so-called pure heart is a pure and flawless heart like a baby, but these people have either smoothed out the edges and corners in the mortal world, or have a mask on their faces that does not match their hearts, and there are a few people with unscrupulous intentions who are considering killing people and stealing goods...... It's not that I'm too picky, it's that none of the applicants in this year's year have even met the standards. ”
Xiao Shi continued to go crazy: "Who asked you to increase the recruitment salary without authorization, of course the people who came for the high bounty were attracted by the high bounty!"
"Alas, this damn gold coin. ”
"You're the least qualified person to say that!"
"Actually, this is what I expected, but this is only the first night, and in the next few days, that recruitment will definitely become the most eye-catching headline, and no one will come to the door. That's enough, as long as the population base is large enough, I'm sure we can still find a few that qualify. Su Wen gestured, "My requirements are actually not high, it would be nice to have half of Alexine, I also beat her idea originally, but she has obviously been taken the lead and reduced to Shirley's pitiful plaything, it's really a cruel idea." ”
“...... Take the liberty of interrupting me, how do you judge whether you are eligible for your father, do you know at a glance whether you have a pure heart, do you know how to read minds!"
"This is also a trade secret, in short, just trust my vision, so stay tuned. ”
"Huh. ”
Xiao Shi obviously didn't believe it, but he didn't bother to refute it, so he went to find juice. According to her, the crazy drinking of juice is not due to thirst or craving, but to replenish the demons - well, to replenish energy, and for slimes, the best source of energy is nothing more than the juice squeezed from various plant fruits.
Su Wen looked at the discarded materials in the garbage basket and fell into deep thought.
The so-called "pure heart" is of course used to bluff Xiaoshi, but it is not all nonsense. If you just want reliable mercenaries, then even Victoria is not used, almost every decent city has a group of diamond-level veteran top mercenaries sitting on the mountain king, in terms of strength and reliability, they are no worse than the top mercenaries here, but Su Wen wants more than that.
Su Wen's real purpose for coming to Victoria, in fact, he has never hidden Xiao Shi, he told her from the very beginning, that is, to find a reliable partner who can cooperate for a long time.
He was short of manpower, and not only that, but in the long run, Laetitia's side was also short of manpower. No matter what the purpose of the cheat daddy system, it is not the type of person who stands alone in the world, and if you want to be really strong, no matter how strong the individual is, it makes no sense, and the final result is bound to form a power group. It was the moment when Su Wen was stabbed in the heart by the legendary assassin, and at that time, he finally realized that even if the equipment from the technological era was powerful enough to fight against the Grand Magus, he was still just an ordinary person with a slightly stronger physique, and if he wanted to be truly powerful, he needed a complete system.
And the system should be composed of people.
But it's a pity that Su Wen doesn't have the ability to bow down when the tiger body shakes the little brothers from all walks of life, and at the same time becomes loyal and never betrays. I finally got rid of the shit luck and picked up Alex because of this fairly good seedling, but before he could reach the full level of favorability, Shirley was killed halfway and used the thunder method to abduct him, and in addition, even a guy with a ghost in his heart like Xiao Shi was used by him, which shows how hungry he has become. If this continues, the more he grows stronger, the more difficult it will be for him to move alone.
This may be a bit alarmist, with the strength of the power, there will never be a shortage of people who can use it, but since sooner or later we have to use people, why not take precautions and find some people who can use it well in advance?
Compared to this, the combat power required by the Longshan Mountain Range is not worth mentioning, as a non-core part of the plan, as long as it is not too vegetable, it is really anyone's business. This is also the reason why Su Wen added a golden second-order restriction to his recruitment this time, firstly, to narrow down the scope of the target, and secondly, not to make the next journey too embarrassing, at least the Longshan Mountain Range can protect itself in that kind of dangerous environment. After all, for a character like Laetitia, one is enough.
As for how to tell if this person can be used?
In fact, it is very simple, it is not Su Wen's unpredictable prophet, nor is it detected with the help of high-tech means, nor is it secretly helped by the cheating system, but ......
......
......
The next day was also a lively day.
The sky-high salary spread about the hundreds, and soon became hot news. What is the concept of 20,000 gold coins? The value of gold coins in each country is different, but the difference is not too big, this amount is almost equivalent to a property in the prosperous area of Grobal City, and the sum of the salary of ordinary gold-level mercenaries for most of the year is also a huge amount of money that should not be underestimated for diamond-level super mercenaries, and now it only takes a week to earn! All of a sudden, almost all the eligible mercenaries in Grobal City came to join in the fun, and the streets in front of the hotel were full of luxury carriages and even magic energy flying boats, as if some kind of grand event was being held here.
There were many people who came to see the bustle, passer-by, or do business, and for a time the whole street was so crowded that the guards of Grobal City had to be dispatched to maintain order.
These recruits are not afraid that Su Wen is just using a gimmick of 20,000 gold coins but not recruiting people - when the mercenary union publishes the recruitment information, it will be used as an intermediary platform to receive a month's remuneration in advance, and it will also be multiplied by the number of recruits. The estimated number of Su Wen's recruitment is 5 people, which means that he directly lost 400,000 gold coins in the mercenary union last night. This money is real money, and anyone who knows a little bit about it will know that he is now the top VIP of Grobal City.
As for where did so many gold coins come from?
It can only be said that with the birth of synthetic gold technology, the gold in Su Wen's world has long been unable to be used as a general equivalent. According to the standard of Victorian gold coins, that is, each gold coin weighs 8 grams, and 400,000 gold coins only need about three tons of gold, and the energy required to exchange so much gold is only equivalent to a set of ordinary nano armor, and it is not even comparable to the fully automatic mold production line for temporary coinage......
In other words, as long as Su Wen wants to, he can be rich at any time. Although it is certainly not so simple to implement, at least the gold he has is almost endless, which is why he exhausted the luxury in Mtase City some time ago, but it is not painful at all.
Ahem, to get back to the point, after a morning, Su Wen didn't seem to have gained anything, and just like last night, he used the method of waiting for notice to decline almost all the applicants.
Xiao Shiqi, who played the role of secretary on the side, was about to turn blue, and the recruits she received at the end of the day were not one hundred but eighty, including elites of various professions, and a fox hunter with a rank of up to the second stage of the diamond, which was not only powerful, but also unpickable in appearance and figure, and belonged to the role that was rushed to any mercenary group and adventure group. She thought to herself that if this could not be selected by Su Wen, then it was estimated that no one in the entire Grobal City would be favored by him, but it turned out that such an excellent and eye-catching mercenary was still rejected by Su Wen formulaically.
However, it wasn't until the afternoon that things finally took a turn for the better when Xiao Shi had begun to seriously suspect that Su Wen didn't plan to recruit anyone at all.
When he saw a female mercenary wearing the most common crocodile scale light armor among gold-rank mercenaries, with a mediocre appearance and no characteristic temperament, Su Wen's numb eyes suddenly burst with brilliance.
He stood up and said to her excitedly, "Ma'am, can you show me your palm?"
The other party agreed, but Su Wen just took it and looked at it, and he was stunned for a moment as if he had been electrocuted, followed by heartfelt excitement and joy.
"That's you!"
“???”
Xiao Shi, who witnessed the whole process, looked confused.
