Chapter 135: Talent Market!
The rest of the positions are allocated as needed.
Everyone has their own thing to do, and Ian's job is to get people together.
"Human Resources Market"
Four words, clearly point out what this is for.
The City of Exhaustion is Tavel's domain, and Ian works closely with Tavel.
Naturally, Tavel chose to send an emissary to take Ian for a walkaround.
As for who that messenger is......
Ian glanced at the unidentified object around him.
γName:Sayaγ
[Race: Black goat cub]
[Category: Mythical Creature]
[Description: What do you see?] Is it a green-haired girl, or is it a &Β₯*?
If it's the former, hurry up and go to the hospital to report for a brain department, it's too late.
What? You say the latter is garbled? That's right, you're healthy! γ
This is the messenger.
Ian didn't know what to say.
Perhaps, the etiquette in Tavel's eyes is slightly different from the etiquette that humans understand.
Understandable.
β&%οΏ₯F*%οΌβ
Saya next to him was saying something, and Ian calmly replied according to the translation of the sequence system.
This journey made his heart cold, for fear that he would be bitten.
After entering the talent market, other players or natives saw Saya and their faces changed suddenly.
"It's the gluttonous demon!" This is normal people.
"Ahh A high-ranking nobleman from the Alternate Plane! Welcome to our ...... "This is crazy.
"Ahh
This one? This is an alien with atrophied brain and dysplasia who can't speak.
A girl with big eyes on her chest standing next to Ian suddenly took a few steps away from Ian.
"Uh...... Be quiet, your voice is noisy to me. β
Ian was also chilled.
How can anyone still read minds? It's rude to read someone else's voice without permission.
Talent market.
It's here.
After Saya led Ian to the talent market, she grabbed a chicken with her tentacles and left.
"Gluttonous demons like to eat raw food, and it's usually quite harmless."
The shopkeeper said to Ian.
After communicating with him, Ian understood the main components of the "human resources market".
It is divided into two categories: people and materials, of course...... The distinction is not very clear.
It's all about selling criminals, slaves, and messy subspecies, and whatever.
Ian saw some computer cases and asked with some confusion:
"Is that also a talent?"
"Yes, customer." The shopkeeper replied to him with a smile, "It is a 'computer case' invented by an indigenous civilization, loaded with a win11 system. β
"You may not understand what this concept is, but you can think of it as an antique."
"I bought it when I made a deal with that civilization, and they said at the time...... Win11 is garbage. β
β¦β¦
Ian was silent for a moment and nodded: "Win11 is indeed garbage. β
They also pay attention to the human resources market.
Slaves, happy and carefree people.
When the master buys the slaves, they can be idle and have nothing to do to plow the land, plant some cotton when they are bored, cultivate their sentiments, and breathe the fragrant air of nature.
As for some slaves who do not want to be active and prefer to lie down, they can also join the cotton farming industry.
They can lie down in the field and bury some soil over their bodies, which will keep them warm and enjoy the aroma of the soil that is sweeter than the fresh air.
When they naturally decompose into nature, they become fertilizer, which is the "material" part.
"Rational exploration of the value of each life"
This is the definition of the human resources market.
Very modern and easy to understand.
However, problems arose, and Ian suddenly discovered that the high-level employees he wanted didn't exist.
Most of the talent in the talent market is some combat units similar to trolls, or cyber transformers.
They are very combative, but in terms of the mind, either the brain is atrophied or cyberpsychotic.
The level is a bit low.
Ian has been in the talent market for most of the day, and he has taken a fancy to a man who is similar to the "Angel Clan".
The reason why I like it is because there are no angels on Planet White Hole 3, and there are a few types of races.
Other...... Not much merit.
Is this trip going to be in vain?
Ian really didn't want to ask Tavel for a way, he wasn't road blind, he was an explorer who was "proficient in traveling".
β&%#οΏ₯οΌβ
A voice that I didn't understand sounded, and Saya, who had just left, returned to Ian's side.
Ian understands the meaning of that sentence through the translation of the sequence system.
Presumably...... Didn't find the person you were looking for?
Ian nodded, "No, I want to go around again." β
Saya pointed in one direction with his tentacles, and Ian looked and saw that the sign at the intersection read, "This leads to the [Black Market]."
The black market is probably a better place than the talent market.
More complete to buy?
Ian thanks Saya and enters the inside of the talent market, a black market passage hidden in the corner.
Saya obediently followed beside her, and for a moment, Ian seemed to have a vision that she was really a green-haired girl.
Good.
Some of the mental problems are too severe.
I hope that next time I come, Tavel won't send any more emissaries, otherwise Ian doesn't know if he can get out of the Poor City normally.
The items sold in the black market are indeed countless times more than in the talent market outside.
Ian turned his head and found some fishmen in a tank of water, or wurmists with dragon horns on their heads, in a shop that mainly sells "humanoids".
Races with advanced intelligence can take up research positions, which can speed up the "nuclear bomb project".
However, the researcher cannot be on the mystery side, after all, nuclear bomb research is a project on the scientific and technological side.
The mysterious researcher is coming, and the speed may be very slow.
And the study of the mysterious side does not need them, Ian is originally a mysterious side civilization, and there are still quite a lot of scholars in his civilization.
Some women with black veils on their faces and graceful bodies have formed a shop together.
It's mysterious again......
Ian glanced at it and was about to leave.
But suddenly, he saw a star map in the store, and some golden falling stars and star rings.
"It's ...... Astrology? β
Hearing Ian's voice, the woman in the store smiled and said:
"That's right! We are selling star beasts, and there are some astrologers who have committed taboos, unforgivable taboos. β
Astrologers, Star Beasts......
Ian looked at what was clearly from another civilization in the cage.
Astrologers don't need to say much, people, astrology, it's as simple as that.
The "Star Beast" is a thing that is blue all over, similar to a wolf, but has sharp horns on its head.
What is this, a one-horned wolf in the stars?
Ian uses the Hunting Mark to get information on the Star Beast first.
γName:Star Beastγ
[Source: Neutron Star Eruption]
[Description: Some special neutron stars in the universe will undergo a "big eruption" every 33 days, and habitable planets in the nearby galaxy will give birth to an existence called "Star Beast".
Star beasts are monsters that are good at handling, they swallow the sun and moon to survive, and will conceive when they reach adulthood, giving birth to 3 pieces of 100 kg of "star gold" every year.
Star gold can be used to forge equipment for astrologers. Anyone who maliciously kills a Star Beast will be marked as a sinner and trafficked. γ
Now Ian understands.
Star Beast: Porterage. The Star Beast cannot give birth to an heir, but instead gives birth to Star Gold.
Star Gold: A very special material that is needed for astrologer equipment.
Buy some astrologers to go back, and maybe you can continue the astrology that was almost lost.
The astrological inheritance of Planet White Hole 3 is already a broken generation, otherwise it would not have been called "evil" by the previous Dawning Order.
When these astrologers go back, I am afraid that it will bring a very big surprise to the people on the mainland.
"That's not right." Ian shook his head, "I want the star beasts, but forget about the people, aren't they criminals?" β
Ian can see that these people are all criminals, and they are completely unstable.
He bought slaves for emancipation, but why buy a bunch of criminals?
Right?
The shopkeepers were a little embarrassed and looked at each other.
Sure enough, there is still a difference between criminals and slaves.
"We can ...... half off"
"Don't." Ian shook his head, "Whoever is idle and has nothing to do to buy criminals is not happy to find himself." β
Although the astrologer in the cage is somewhat similar to the witch in the story.
It's all women, and the astrologer's civilization is not a daughter country.
But what does this have to do with Ian?
"Well, I'm going to buy books on astrology, and I have to make sure that the mystical side can be learned."
Ian said that it was a chance for the store.
It is impossible for him to ask for people, but knowledge has to be taken away, which is something that the mysterious side civilization lacks.
"This ......," the shopkeeper was going to say, and it was a bit out of order.
But the other witch next to her shook her head slightly and signaled to agree.
Knowledge is sometimes valuable, but sometimes it is not, depending on the popularity.
The popularity of astrology is considered to be below average, and the cosmic civilization understands celestial bodies too well.
This leads to the fact that the gold content of astrology is very low, and it can be sold as a selling point.
"Okay then." The store owner understood, "We can help you make a 'book of astrology', which will cost 30 people, and this is the price you need to pay." β
As she spoke, she pulled a dagger out of a drawer.
Ian suddenly raised his hand: "Don't yet." β
The shopkeeper was a little confused, and smiled slightly after a while:
"Do you want the talent itself? It's going to be a bit more expensive. β
Sure enough, she really doesn't believe that there are human beings, and humans whose sexual orientation is "humanoid" will ignore the posture of astrologer civilization.
Ian didn't know what that smile meant.
He took a few steps back and walked to the door of the store:
"Don't splash the blood on me, you do it slowly, I have paid the points of the main city, wait and get the book."
After speaking, he frowned again: "It can't be a book made of human skin, I'm a little panicked." β
The witch shopkeeper looked at Ian outside in a daze.
Suddenly, there was a kind of intimate feeling of meeting Satan in the eighteen layers of hell, as if I had gone home.
"Uh...... It's not a human skin, it's a star animal skin. β
"That's fine, come on."
Ian waved his hand and went on shopping.
First of all, one thing must be clear.
Slaves and criminals, though they are all kept in cages, are not the same thing.
"Slaves" are unlucky people, from humble backgrounds or captured as a result of war.
The background of the family is innocent, but the personal status is low.
But what about the "criminal", it is a real crime, no matter what kind of crime it is, it is a crime.
Unless it is a person who has been maliciously smeared, the problem is ...... Does Ian need time to determine if they are innocent?
Not required...... He didn't have that time.
A heartfelt advice, don't buy criminals with pocket money.
Unless you're using them to do something that isn't quite suitable for people, criminals aren't a good choice.
Slave trading area.
Slaves from various civilizations, with an electronic lock around their necks, are confined to cages with gloomy faces.
They either stand or sit. Anyway, it behaves very decadently.
But isn't it, life in the future is dark, and even freedom does not exist.
This is, a buyer came up and said that he wanted to buy a batch of "employees".
The word employee made some of the slaves raise their heads, and hope appeared in their eyes.
Not slaves, employees! This represents the staff on the tech side.
"Is there a requirement for knowledge?" The shopkeeper asked.
Ian thought for a moment.
Most of the slaves present were from the industrial age, there were few space ages, and there were no higher ones.
"Industry is fine, space age...... 7 pcs. β
Seven people can form a standard team and work on things like ship maintenance.
And the rest of the industrial age people will be able to develop science and technology on the moon base and complete the industrial facilities first.
Don't look at the moon now as a barren land.
But with Ian's mysterious side planet blessing resources, a large amount of resource reserves, and what do you want, the conditions are luxurious.
The moon will soon reach the standard line of the industrial age, and then it will be able to expand its manpower.
Mystic Side: Provides high combat effectiveness and precious resources.
Science and technology: the main areas of the future, the construction of spaceships and space stations, the implementation of military preparation plans, and the rapid hoarding of steel torrents.
It's cool!
Ian walked to the center of the talent market in the black market with a good mood.
It is said that it is a talent market, but in fact, there are very few pure-blooded people in it, and there are as many races in the universe as sea sand.
The so-called human beings are more "alien people", that is, mutated human beings.
Or "subhuman", who is not human at all, but looks like a human.
Even the criminals of the astrologer civilization have the blue of the starry sky, which is not a characteristic that humans can have.
It is difficult to develop human civilization in the universe.
Human beings, there are no shortcomings, there are no advantages.
Perhaps the term "mediocrity" that could be worthy of being called "mediocre."
It's not a derogatory term, but it's not a positive term either.
Mediocre, there is no way to enter the space age, and most of the humans who can enter the space age have mutated.
In the end, in the trading ground of cosmic civilization, pure-blooded people are so rare that they are rare.
However, if you ignore this and look at it with the naked eye, you will not feel too much repulsion.
Whether it's an "alien" or a "subhuman", some of them look like ordinary humans from the outside.
They are well camouflaged.
Maybe in this way, they will be regarded as weak?
Ian now knows what an awkward phase human civilization is in.
He's human, and he's going to change all that.
Ask for a follow-up and ask for a monthly pass!
