Running wildly all the way, the three of them returned to Nasaiyan. Only then did they finally get over their shock.
Oqili wiped her cold sweat and said, "It's safe for now. I believe the other party won't do anything in the town."
Fahir sighed: "I thought that after upgrading the equipment, we would be powerful and safe, but there are always people who are more powerful than us."
Oqili said: "Dali, I'm really lucky to have you this time."
Dali said: "You don't have to be polite to me. You are also tired. Go back and rest quickly."
"Okay, see you another day"
After the two left, Dali's heart sank. He didn't believe that the other party would not take action in the town. After all, the artifacts and thieves supported by the other party were causing chaos in the town, otherwise they would not have alerted the NPC seal.
He became the captain of the joint defense. Besides, with the strength of a third-level thief, what if he started taking action in the town? Who could stop or control him? At this moment,
——System prompt: Your appointed assistant Clifford completed the meritorious fishing task of the Darnassus Fisheries Association. You received a meritorious value of 12,500, your reputation in Darnassus City +125,000, and your experience
+1.25 million.
——System prompt: You have received 8,000 gold coins from the 10 settlement points of the Fisheries Association’s Board of Directors. Please check in your email.
——System prompt: According to the agreement, your other 15 settlement shares will be converted into merit points by Earl Robertson, and you will receive merit points + 12,000
Oh, they have made a lot of money from fishing in the past few days while I was away. Yes, if the joint defense team that has been lagging behind continues to work, isn't it because they feel that they are not being treated well? I will tell you that the current problem is a bit tricky. It's a precaution.
The target is not the player, but the third-level killer. Only strong ones can be hired.
The problem is that Dali is a mere player who is less than level 50. Even the "second-rate" sailors at the tavern in Hundidu City look down upon him. How can he hire a strong man who can compete with the third level? This is not free of money.
The problem is that the system has systematic rules. It does not mean that players can really push the rules if they have money. After all, there are still very few weirdos like Gimli, and the plot must be triggered first. In most cases, it is the situation on the carriage just now.
Even 10,000 gold coins can't buy a carriage driver. In the final analysis, you still have to do tasks to trigger the NPC's smart mode.
Time is running out, and the killer might be chasing him tonight. How can Dali have time to complete tasks one by one and trigger the plots of these strong men? What's more, the plots of strong men are so epic and legendary that Dali can't bear it?
venture capital firm
That’s right, their company has a great reputation and has many strong people under them. It’s no good to ask Schmidt to borrow a few people. Schmidt wants to help me guard two islands and is in short supply. Experts are indispensable. We can’t damage his
He may not be willing to borrow the big things nearby. The only choice is to go to the Darnassus office again.
Go ahead and head straight for Darnassus.
Darnassus, on the second floor of Harbor Hotel No. 3, there is still the same counter and the same two goblins in suits and ties.
"Welcome, it's the noble Baron Dali, is there anything you need from Frog?"
Just recognize me as a regular customer. Dali said: "I would like to hire some experts from your company who are bodyguards."
Frog smiled and said: "Our venture capital company has a professional security department. We will provide you with the best quality service. Could you please tell us your requirements?"
He vigorously stretched out three fingers and said sternly: "The requirements are not high. I can be a master who can compete with the third-level phantom killer. In short, as long as I can drag you until the patrolman shows up."
Frog was shocked and said: "Sir, did I hear correctly? Third-order phantom killer?"
Dali nodded solemnly: "Yes, Phantom Killer, a third-level thief profession."
Frog's green face turned blue: "Sir, you must be kidding. You can count the number of phantom killers in this world on your toes. They almost never appear."
Dali shook his head: "I'm not joking, because there is a Phantom Killer coming to deal with me."
Frog was silent for a while, then shook his head and sighed: "Sir, this is just a branch office. Your request has exceeded my capabilities. I'm really sorry."
Damn it, how can you back out? I’m counting on your company to tell you.
He patted Frog vigorously on the shoulder and said sincerely: "As a good salesman, you can only show your value to the president by completing tasks that you cannot complete. If there are conditions, you have to do it. If there are no conditions, you have to create the conditions yourself.
Come on, great conditions are standing in front of you now, can you give up easily?"
Frog's eyelids twitched and he said resolutely: "What you said makes sense. I will take you to the Teldrassil regional headquarters. The general manager should be able to solve it."
"That's good." What is the Teldrassil headquarters? Is there also a Glory City headquarters? Oribator's headquarters? So where is the headquarters of the venture capital company?
After explaining the matter to his assistant, Frog took Dali through the portal to Teldrassil, the imperial capital. Then he arrived at a certain seaport warehouse, showed his ID to the guard, entered the door, and then entered the underground warehouse. Passing through the aisles of piles of boxes.
At the end of the warehouse, there is a desk, a tung oil lamp, and a gnome in a suit with eyes.
Damn it, this is not the headquarters. This guy is not the general manager.
Frog said: "General Manager, this is Baron Dali from Dawn Island. The Baron has business to see the General Manager."
The eyed goblin stood up and smiled: "Welcome, Lord Baron. I am Flosius, the general manager of the Teldrassil headquarters. How can I serve Lord Baron?"
It really is the headquarters! Dali looked around and sighed: "The general manager's office environment is really unique, isn't it?"
Flosis smiled and said: "Simple but not simple."
Dali said sternly: "I would like to rent a few expert bodyguards from your company, as long as they can be on par with the third-level thief professional phantom killer."
Flosis looked at Frog in astonishment, and then said awkwardly: "Well, I'm sorry, Lord Baron, our company will not undertake this business."
Dali was astonished: "Isn't it possible that even the headquarters can't solve it?"
Flosis shook his head and said: "It's not that there is no way, but the company's system does not allow it. The danger of the Phantom Killer is really unimaginable. We will not be crazy enough to treat high-level employees who can create unlimited wealth as lowly gladiators.
In front of the Phantom Killer, this kind of risk is completely against the interests of the company, so please forgive me."
** Damn it, does the system really want me to have no solution when it sends a level 3 player? If I can survive for a few years, it would be fine to recruit a large number of level 2 and 3 players to fight against me, but with the current situation,
Someone's leg was pinched, and he would come to the slaughterhouse at any time when he was so angry? Is it because he didn't have enough money?
Dali said: "If it's a money issue, it's easy to discuss."
Flosis shook his head and said: "High-level talents are priceless. The tangible wealth they create is immeasurable, and the intangible wealth they create is even more immeasurable. Even their existence itself is of huge value - just
Like the atomic bomb, even if it is never used, its value is immeasurable."
Labor and management understand. You don’t need to use the atomic bomb as an example to explain this. It seems that the system is restrictive. The system will never allow players to have an intersection with third-level strength at the current stage - I can allow it.
.
Frog said: "General manager, we can send employees with a lower level of strength. Lord Baron means that we can delay them until the city patrol arrives, right?"
Alas, it seems that we can only settle for the next best thing. Dali nodded: "That's okay. In fact, I also know the strength of the Phantom Killer. I don't expect to be able to defeat him. I just want him to retreat or have some scruples."
That’s it.”
Flosis shook his head and said: "Second-level employees are also valuable human resources of the company. They are at greater risk in front of the Phantom Killer. This is not in line with the interests of the company. I am really sorry."
Damn it, it seems that the venture capital company has given up hope, so it is better to ask the earl or something to see if they can think of a way. Wait, there is another trick that hasn't worked yet, yes, give him a try.
Dali said dissatisfied: "After all, I am a regular customer. I should still be a big customer. I won't force you to do so at the third level. But even if you rent a few second-level masters, your company can't even meet such a small request. Let me
I am very doubtful about your company's strength or sincerity - in short, I am so disappointed that I am considering whether I should continue to cooperate with your company for bigger projects in the future."
Flosis frowned: "Lord Baron, please don't get me wrong. Our company's business spans the world, and its strength is absolutely unquestionable -"
Dali interrupted: "That means you are not sincere?"
Flossis said anxiously: "The Baron has misunderstood, the customer is God - by the way, I have someone chosen."
Dali said happily: "I should have shouted out a long time ago."
Flossis said sternly: "Let me remind Lord Baron that these two people are very eccentric and cannot cooperate with other employees at all, which has caused some losses to the company. Currently, during the confinement review, if you want to use the words of these two people, it will cause
Our company is not responsible for any consequences.”
No, someone who can’t even be controlled by your venture capital company? Dali could only say: “Let me take a look first.”
Flosius said: "Okay, sir, please come with me." Then he said to Frog: "You don't need to follow me. Go back to business."
"Yes, General Manager."
The two came to another warehouse. The warehouse was filled with counters of various instruments, and more than a dozen goblin technicians were busy. There was a large glass jar in the middle of the warehouse, with countless pipes inserted at the bottom of the glass jar. Damn it, this is
Which era is science fiction?
Flosis opened the glass: "Sir, this is the highest technology of our venture capital company, the space jump teleportation array, please come in."
Dali was shocked: "No, I, I won't enter."
Flosis smiled and said: "Manager Schmidt once reported that you have a strong desire to build a teleportation array, but you are really not confident about our technology. This is completely unnecessary. Please experience our scientific and technological achievements for yourself."
Dali laughed dryly and said: "Is that so? I still feel that it's very unreliable."
Flossis said: "Please rest assured, sir, I will accompany you in. And we can reach an agreement with the kingdom to solve the problem of the nationwide city network transmission of the teleportation array. The most important thing is that our price is only that of the magic guild."
half."
"Really? Then I'll reluctantly give it a try." It turns out that I'm taking the opportunity to advertise and promote it. If it's really that reliable, I might as well adopt it.
The goblin technicians were busy for a while, the various light bulbs on the instruments flashed randomly, and then the glass tank emitted a dazzling white light, and then the scene changed - there was a snow-capped mountain outside the glass tank.
Is this the destination?
The white light flashed again in the glass tank, and the scene changed again - a vast expanse of desert yellow sand outside the glass tank.
Dali looked at Flosis in astonishment, and Flosis said sternly: "This is to alleviate the boredom of teleportation, so the scenery and wonders are added during the journey, so that passengers can truly realize that they are indeed traveling, and avoid sudden changes in space.
The abruptness of the transition”
Dali nodded numbly.
White light flashed in the glass tank again, and the scene changed again - outside the glass tank, in a primitive jungle, a huge earth-walking devil rex was eating a dead elephant. The sudden appearance of the glass tank suddenly alarmed it, and it didn't even notice.
He rushed over without hesitation.
Dali was surprised and said: "Did you make a mistake?"
Flossis said sternly: "This is to meet the needs of travelers with a passion for adventure--" With a bang, a big foot pressed down on the top of the mountain, and the entire glass jar shook violently. The electricity crackled, and there was indeed a flash of red light and then darkness.
Let's make a fool of ourselves. Dali will instinctively make himself invincible.
When the scene changed, I heard a loud bang and arrived at a warehouse. At this time, the room was in a mess, a group of goblin mechanics were lying down, and a sharp fire alarm sounded.
At this time, Flossis had a gray head and a bloody face, and his suit and shirt were pitch black and tattered, but he calmly said: "Lord Baron, we have arrived at our destination, let's go."
Arrived? Dali raised his eyes and looked around. This seems to be the same warehouse? I have just come back? Dali was surprised: "Mr. Manager, you are injured."
Flosis said with a smile: "There is no injury, this is just a Hollywood movie special effect. The purpose is to bring passengers a full range of visual impact and immersive on-site experience. Our technology is based on practicality."
Our transmission array is multi-functional, multi-media and multi-experience to bring entertainment enjoyment to passengers to the greatest extent. Our aim is that technology leads the trend and fashion..."
Dali nodded numbly again.
The two entered another warehouse. Flosis said to the guard: "Let out employees No. 43115 and 68131." The guard followed the order and left.
Flossis said: "Baron Dali, let's start talking about the specific matters of the business——"
Dali was surprised and said: "Sir, the blood on your head..."
Flosis said calmly: "This is not blood, it is special effects. Don't worry, adults. Let's continue - these two employees are the human black witch, the black widow Falina, and the troll magician Harraz
, are all very rare professions and rare races. Although their strength is not as good as that of Tier 3, they are still outstanding among Tier 2. The key is that their skills are weird and mysterious. Even Tier 3 professions have to be careful.
He is the best candidate to restrain the Phantom Killer."
Dali couldn't help but nodded: "Oh, that's it."
I’m not sure what profession the black witch is, but it sounds very powerful. As for the magician, it’s very impressive. The trolls are the race that survived the war between gods ten thousand years ago. In order to continue the race under the new pattern, they
The shamans worked hard to improve their skills, and a new kind of professional magician was born. Other legal professions had no idea about the spell-casting mechanism of this profession, so they could only call it "witchcraft" with awe, and even more so for them.
Keep a respectful distance. After all, the magic is acquired by others, and the troll magicians still call themselves shamans. Perhaps it is because of the existence of magicians that the troll race can survive. There is no doubt about its power.
Flossis said: "According to our company's regulations, Baron Dali must pay for their life safety insurance. Money, of course, is not a problem for Baron Dali, so let's talk about the employment conditions-"
Dali hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, what is life safety insurance?"
Flosis said: "That is to say, once they die, the Baron will compensate our company 200,000 gold coins, well, 200,000 gold coins per person. If they are injured or even lose the ability to work, then the compensation will range from 50,000 to 150,000 gold coins according to the degree of injury.
of gold coins.”
Damn it, my opponent is a third-level phantom killer. They will suffer misfortunes at any time. Don't you deliberately want to send the unruly employees here to die to get the last remaining value?
Flosis continued: "As for the employment wages, their salary is 500 gold coins per person per day, and according to our company's regulations, you must hire them for at least one month. That is to say, you must first pay 30,000 gold coins in cash. Please pay attention to this.
, it’s cash. Since various accidents may occur at any time when leasing talents, our company does not accept debts in this regard..."
Wow, 30,000 in cash, wait a minute, my fishery association goes out to sea four times a month, and each time costs 7,000, 8,000, plus transporting some more apples to the Marquis, the money will definitely be enough. It’s okay, okay.
Flossis added: "Sir, please note that our employees are only responsible for protecting the personal safety of our employers and will not go to war for you."
Hey, if you only dare to stay in the town, how can you dare to go out? This is okay.
After a while, a team of security guards came over escorting a human woman in black robes and a troll in floral robes.
Flossis said: "You have a new mission. This is Baron Dali. Your mission is to be his bodyguard for a period of time. Please always remember the company rules, Chapter 66, Section 19, Section 36, Section 73.
Content. I believe this is the job that is most suitable for you. This is one of the few opportunities for you to pay off your debts. Please cherish this new job."
The two said: "Thank you, general manager."
Oh? It seems like you are still obedient.
The troll said: "Mr. Manager, are you injured? Can I give you treatment?"
Flosis angrily said: "No injuries, this is a movie stunt."
The witch said: "Mr. Manager, you are bleeding a lot. If you stop bleeding, you will die."
Flosis angrily said: "There is no blood, this is a movie stunt. I will not die."
Then Flosis smiled at Dali and said: "Baron, if there is no objection, just sign the contract."
Dali could only say: "Okay, thank you Mr. Manager for solving a big problem for me." Nowadays, it is a critical moment when employing people, and money must be spent.
