Chapter 296 Geological Expert Appears

Taotie quickly dropped his eyes in disappointment.

Oh~ So it's not for eating.

Mainly because after evolution, its current age is far from mature, and even the panel shows that it is still in its infancy.

Sixiang retracted his gaze, boring things.

Back in the laboratory, it had seen too many monsters being taken by those researchers to force mating, and then the worthless test subjects were thrown into the trash can.

Seeing too many of these things made it repel from the bottom of its heart.

As for Dongjun and Xiaoxu, let alone, according to their race and age, they are all minors.

Chen Xing said: "Don't want to tame beasts."

The receptionist showed a look of understanding on his face, "Two guests, follow me."

"Hey! Are you serious!"

Zhao Guangming followed behind Chen Xing and nudged Chen Xing with his elbow.

He looked at Chen Xing again with the same look as when he first met her, "Does this count as public funds?"

"After you go in, ask me how often the local city guards come here, and what their salaries are. Brother Zhao, remember our mission and don't make mistakes. I'll wait for you outside." Chen Xing whispered in Daxia language.

Then he shyly said to the man leading the way, "My friend will go!"

Zhao Guangming was shocked. How come I was the only one going?

You're forcing me to make a mistake!

You've really hurt me.

Chen Xing turned and left in Zhao Guangming's distressed eyes.

In this primitive environment, the brothel is undoubtedly the place that best reflects the local economic level.

Other places may be retired city guards, but the brothel is impossible.

And compared to other places, the brothel can contact all kinds of people, and the news is absolutely well-informed.

Ten minutes later, Zhao Guangming looked around like a thief, and then quickly slipped out.

"Remember to reimburse! And don't tell anyone." Zhao Guangming lowered his voice.

If his old man knew that he came to such a place, he would break his legs.

Although he only asked for some information, no one would believe him if he told others.

"Have you found out clearly?" Chen Xing asked back.

"I do things, you don't trust me? I found out that whether these beastmasters in the city guards have money depends on whether there is a war. Generally, they will be rich for a while after the war. Their military pay is similar to what we found out before. It is difficult for them to raise their own beasts."

Chen Xing said that he understood.

Chen Xing said: "Then we can offer a basic salary of three times theirs when they were in the Stone City City Guards. For extra gains, we will follow the old rules. We will take 50% of our own spoils and the super-class beastmasters will share the remaining 50%."

"Three times? Isn't it too high?" Zhao Guangming frowned.

Chen Xing shook his head, "Not much. Overtime work on holidays in China is three times the salary. If you are a mercenary, the frequency of war and the casualty rate are also high. This is what should be done."

"Okay." Zhao Guangming felt that what Chen Xing said made sense.

And this money is not paid by them, but by Xinhuo's internal finances.

The internal allocation of Xinhuo was issued by the Ministry of Finance of Daxia. He and Chen Xing both had their own salaries, and this money could not be touched. Although no one would say anything if he took it with his status, he felt uncomfortable taking some money, and he didn't need it.

South of Shitou City.

This urban area is full of low stone buildings, and narrow alleys connect the entire urban area like spider silk.

The moonlight shines on the upper half of the wall, and the lower half is shrouded in shadow.

A tall and thin figure carries two bags of meat through the alley. Before the meat factory closes at night, the meat that has not been sold on the same day will be sold at a discount. Buying meat when the meat factory is about to close is a common method used by some beastmasters in Shitou City with more limited conditions.

Because Shitou City is humid and hot, meat is easy to deteriorate if it is not processed for a long time.

"Brother Hong, Brother Hong."

The door of a house at the corner of the alley was half open, and a short and fat man waved behind the gap.

"What's wrong?" The tall and thin figure stopped.

"Brother Hong, I heard that the City Lord's Mansion issued a re-recruitment order. I heard from the grapevine that they want to set up an extra-staff mercenary group. Do you want to go? I'm a little unsure, so I want to ask for your opinion." The man called Brother Hong was silent for a while and then said, "You know that my kid is almost old enough to train beasts. If I don't go, how can I buy him a better beast? I can't let him go the same way as me." "Brother Hong, if you go, I will go too. I believe you! I'm sorry to trouble you to take care of me this time!" The short and fat man said quickly. "Well, let's do our best together." Brother Hong nodded. Scenes like this are happening in many places in Stone City. Many veterans who withdrew from the City Guard for various reasons received the recall order from the City Lord's Mansion, and there was also news that they wanted to recall and form a mercenary group. Some veterans chose to return, and some veterans decided not to participate for various reasons. But even the veterans who chose to return are not a small number. The next day, the City Lord's Mansion. Chen Xing and Zhao Guangming came to the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, where more than 500 beastmasters had gathered.

Most of them were not young, and more than a third of them were white-haired old men.

Although they were old men, the murderous intent in their eyes was no less.

Chen Xing was observing them, and they were also looking at Chen Xing.

Seeing Chen Xing's young face, some people flashed a trace of disdain in their eyes.

Some beastmasters also frowned. Such a young kid, how could he be the leader of the mercenary group?

Don't let them fall into the trap when the time comes.

However, although they have some ideas in their hearts, no one said it openly.

These people are not stupid.

Even if they are young, they must have a background to command them. At most, they will not join the mercenary group. There is no need to offend others for no reason. This young man loves face. If you contradict him, you may offend him. What if you meet someone with a small mind.

Gu Yuzhi said to the beastmasters: "Wait a moment, the agreed time is 2 pm, and there is still a while now. Have you all eaten?"

A beastmaster in the back row shouted: "Lord City Lord, do you provide meals here?"

Gu Yuzhi smiled slightly, "Yes!"

"I haven't eaten yet. I haven't eaten the food in the City Lord's Mansion yet."

"I have eaten, but I also want to eat the food at the City Lord's house."

Compared with their attitude towards Chen Xing, this group of retired beastmasters are much more friendly to Gu Yuzhi, and their attitude is also very relaxed, with a feeling of getting along well.

Gu Yuzhi had prepared in advance and asked someone to bring food.

He also sat under a tree with a lunch box, and a group of beastmasters surrounded him.

"Look at the city lord Gu." Zhao Guangming said in a low voice.

"What's wrong, are you jealous? The soldiers under other people's command will definitely love him." Chen Xing smiled, but he didn't care about such trivial matters.

"I read those books on military training, and many of them said that soldiers should be loved like sons, eat and live together. Will we do the same when the time comes?"

Chen Xing said slowly: "I think the most important thing is to show your strength."

Zhao Guangming raised his eyebrows, "Are you going to suppress them directly with your strength? Can you calm them down and don't overturn?"

Chen Xing shook his head, "Definitely not now."

Find a suitable opportunity to show your strength.

When you have strength, you can win respect by being more casual. The casualness and kindness of a billionaire and the casualness and kindness of a beggar are not the same thing.

No matter how glorious and upright you say it verbally, the subconscious emotional reaction in your heart cannot lie.

Being too easy-going at the beginning will only damage your prestige.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Yuzhi clapped her hands, "It's already two o'clock. Those who haven't come yet are unlikely to come. Let me briefly explain. These two are the investors of the mercenary group."

The beastmasters present looked at Chen Xing and Zhao Guangming.

"Let them talk about the treatment next." Gu Yuzhi looked at Chen Xing and Zhao Guangming, asking who was coming.

Chen Xing took the initiative to stand up, "Let me briefly explain. The treatment is mainly based on the strength of the main beastmaster. For the highest beastmaster level, 3 spirit gold can be obtained every month for every five energy levels. If the energy level is less than 5, it will be calculated as 5 energy levels.

The beastmaster can take away half of the value of the spoils of war for the enemies killed by himself on the battlefield. Don't worry, we have multiple cameras to record here, and you will also carry portable recorders with you, so there will be no mistakes.

The treatment of super-level beastmasters is calculated separately, and we will talk about it separately later."

Hearing Chen Xing's price, many beastmasters' eyes lit up, but some disliked the price as too low.

Gu Yuzhi was a little surprised. This price was not bad, but it was not low.

After hearing the price Chen Xing said, the beast masters below had different expressions.

Many beast masters even communicated directly, "What do you think of this price?"

"Not bad, higher than I thought."

"But it's also more dangerous, fighting with the beast masters in Jiuchi City."

"Come on, you haven't heard about the recent battle reports, the beast masters in Jiuchi City, hehe."

"If you have considered it, you can join directly. If you think the price is not suitable, then go back." Gu Yuzhi said.

Hundreds of beast masters present looked at each other, and finally only three withdrew.

The remaining beast masters stayed.

The three beast masters who left the City Lord's Mansion had just left the yard, and before they walked out of the City Lord's Mansion, several figures appeared around them and surrounded them.

One of them suddenly changed his face, "Just because you don't want to join, you force it! You are too much--"

Before he finished speaking, he was engulfed by blue flames.

The domineering flames left several large pits on the spot.

Su Lai walked out from behind the crowd, looking at the large pits left on the spot expressionlessly. "Clean up the scene."

"Yes."

An earth-type beast tamer began to fill the pits, and Su Lai looked at the pits on the ground with a normal expression.

I had investigated before coming here. Some of these beast tamers joined the Nine Red City, and some rebelled against the Burning Sky Giant City.

These people are all on the list, although I don't know what their purpose is.

But as long as they are not allowed to walk out alive, it doesn't matter what the real purpose is.

On the other side.

After confirming that these beast tamers who stayed behind have confirmed to join the mercenary group, Zhao Guangming and Gu Yuzhi signed a geological survey employment agreement with the City Lord's Mansion.

Then the City Lord's Mansion signed a mercenary group employment agreement with the retired soldiers.

The City Lord's Mansion will be the guarantor, and Chen Xing and others will directly remit the money to the City Lord's Mansion, and then the City Lord's Mansion will transfer the wages to these retired beast tamers.

With trust in the City Lord's Mansion, they don't have to worry about Chen Xing and his men defaulting on their debts.

For Chen Xing, this can ensure that even if the news is leaked, the final source can only be traced back to Gu Yuzhi at most.

This is the conflict between Stone City and Jiuchi City.

Daxia will not be involved.

Although everyone knows that Daxia is behind the scenes, knowing is one thing, leaving a handle is another.

Even if the Burning Sky Giant City denounces Daxia, Daxia will not admit that these people have any relationship with Daxia.

What does the good things done by Stone City have to do with our Daxia.

Stone City invited geological experts from Daxia to survey the mineral veins. Chen Xing and others are geological experts who came from Daxia.

It is normal for geological experts to run around to survey the mineral veins, right?

It is also normal for geological experts to hire some mercenaries from Stone City to ensure their own safety, right?

These mercenaries do other things besides protection, which has nothing to do with the geological experts. They are just a group of mercenaries, and they have not signed a contract to sell themselves. Whatever they do, these innocent geological experts from Daxia cannot stop them.

However, doing extra money during the period of employment is absolutely not recommended. Experts Chen and Zhao strongly criticized it and said that it would not be repeated next time.

After signing the agreement, Chen Xing and Zhao Guangming looked up at each other, and they smiled at each other with a tacit understanding.

"In addition to the 547 high-level beastmasters, there are also six super-level beastmasters." Gu Yuzhi called the six super-level beastmasters.

Chen Xing looked at the six people.

Super-level beastmasters are definitely masters even in a place like Stone City.

Beastmasters of this level have many ways to make money. Even if they go to a family as a guest official, they can receive a lot of money every month.

So they can come here, absolutely under the order of the City Lord's Mansion.

Gu Yuzhi said to Chen Xing: "These six people used to be masters, and they have mastered tactical beastmaster skills."

Tactical beastmaster skills!

Chen Xing thought of what he had heard in Wei Meng's class before.

Compared with ordinary beastmaster skills, these tactical beastmaster skills can play a greater role on the battlefield.

Even the beastmaster skills that super-level beastmasters can master are limited in number.

Depending on the different transcendence rituals, super-level beastmasters can only master 5 beastmaster skills at most, and as few as 3.

In addition to the life-saving beastmaster skills that must be mastered, there are not many positions left for beastmasters to master.

And it is very rare to leave one of the beastmaster skill positions for tactical beastmaster skills with team effects. Generally, only beastmasters in the army will do this.

"This is Gu Wu, Gong Yinhong, Du Yu, Shi Chen, Shi Yao, and Shi Luoshan."

Three people with the surname Shi.

Chen Xing looked at the three people behind. The three people were close to each other, and they were obviously close to each other. It was recorded in the intelligence before coming that the surname Shi was a local surname in Shitou City.
