As soon as he took the knife away on a rainy night, Dali went out and asked the bearded man: "When did you come?"
The bearded man said: "I was there last night."
Dali said in shock: "Did you not leave last night?"
The bearded man said: "I spent the whole night staring at the debt collector."
Debt collector? Damn, that's a line. Isn't it you who is scolding you? I'm sorry he thought that Dali gave him 5 gold coins to let him keep an eye on some debt collector? It seems that you really can't talk nonsense in front of NPCs.
Dali didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What about the debt collector?"
The bearded man sniffed and said, "I left in the middle of the night, and now I'm here."
Dali was stunned, what did he say? At this time, a blue dot appeared on the mini-map, and a rogue thief appeared. Are these two people taking turns to stare at me?
The bearded man sniffed his rosacea again, then weighed the axe: "Kill someone for 30 gold coins!"
Could it be that he mistook the debt collector Dali mentioned as a gangster who was following him? That means his sense of smell has anti-submarine capabilities!
Dali was shocked and stunned! Bluetooth! The Viking pirate king Bluetooth! Legend has it that he can judge the distance of passing ships by the smell of sea breeze. This bearded man is the A-level mercenary Bluetooth!
Low-level mercenaries are not transitional products without merit. In fact, the skills of low-level mercenaries are quite practical and even unique. However, because their own growth attributes are not high, it is difficult to make a difference in the later stages of high-intensity combat. However, there are also some special features hidden in low-level mercenaries.
heroes, they are at least B-level mercenaries.
In the previous life, since A-level and B-level mercenaries often required the use of the entire player guild to obtain them, and they were basically the patent of senior guild cadres, the main way for ordinary players and casual players to obtain AB-level mercenaries was through the mercenary guild.
Screening between a large group of D-class soldiers and the occasional C-class soldiers passing by. Although many guides teach players how to identify heroes through unique skills, this kind of screening is still difficult, because the hero mercenaries are not obvious and are very hidden. For example
If this bearded man hadn't shown off his nose skills, Dali would have regarded him as an idle soldier.
The question now is, how to treat him?
Recruitment? The more advanced mercenaries are, the more difficult it is to upgrade. This is the same principle as pets. Now that Dali has been dragged down by the dragon pet Emily, it is difficult to upgrade. It is really difficult to bring a mercenary.
Give up? This is the hidden hero among the C-class soldiers. The existence that Dali in his previous life longed for! What a hero! He is extraordinary. Otherwise, with Dali’s understanding of the character of the Vikings, it would be impossible to be in the tavern in one day.
Making friends here is a reflection of leadership and personal charm!
What should I do if I can’t recruit but can’t bear to give up? Follow the pattern of Hurley’s four militiamen!? However, the reason why Hurley and the others are obedient is because of their great kindness to save their lives. They are local policemen, admire their mentors and have no abilities themselves. This Bluetooth one
The situation is definitely different. Just now he said that killing someone for 30 gold coins was because he was very short of money and very depressed! Yes, Dali should try to follow the Hurley model. The first thing is to tie him up with gold coins.
Dali was afraid that his words would be heard by the gangster who was getting closer and closer, so he whispered: "This is the country of elves, and killing is prohibited on the streets. I am giving you five gold coins, and your task is to go to the hotel to sleep, and then at seven in the evening
After clicking, go to the town cargo terminal and discuss the matter with you then!"
Bluetooth took the money and said, "It just so happened that I didn't sleep all night." After saying that, he got up and patted his butt and left.
Hey, I just knew you hadn't slept all night before I did what I wanted. It's your uncle's fault to pay you to sleep with me!
Now that he knew his value, Dali began to regret that he told Yuye Daidao that he was only a temporary employee. With the strength of these two people, they are definitely his strong competitors, so Dali wanted to get Bluetooth away and never let them have a chance to attack.
.As for what happened at night, of course, he asked Jessica to recommend him to get on the ship. As long as he tricked him into boarding the pirate ship, hehe. Of course, Dali didn’t know how a mere C soldier or A soldier could join.
Got the gm’s discernment?
In the evening, after closing time, Dali was sent directly to Jessica's house.
Jessica said: "It's just the right time. Hurley and the others came back after three days at sea. Their income is not good. This is your part."
——System prompt: You receive a dividend of 18 gold coins from the profit of the fishing boat.
Only 18 gold coins? I own 10% of the shares, so the total income in these three days is only 180 gold coins? No? There are dozens of people, plus maintenance of a boat, plus taxes and tribute to the boss, the total income is only 180 gold coins?
Dali was shocked and said: "Um, could it be that the kobolds are not skilled at their work?"
Jessica sighed: "This is one reason. The main reason is pirates. Hurley and the others encountered pirates, so they had to run back. The lack of manpower is another reason. Such a big ship only has enough for thirty people."
There are not enough manpower to operate the boat and fish, so it seems that we need to hire some people, but this is not an option unless the piracy problem is solved."
Hey, today is such a coincidence. Isn’t this a good time to recommend Bluetooth?
Dali hurriedly said: "Teacher, I met a down-and-out wandering mercenary in the mercenary union yesterday. I'm sure he is the Viking Pirate King Bluetooth. I made an agreement with him during the day to let him wait on the warehouse dock. Teacher went over to see
Look, if you think he can do it, hire him on board!"
Jessica was stunned: "I know about the Vikings. They are in the distant North Sea. How could they appear here?"
Hey, the system has to be refreshed here, what can I do?
Dali said: "God knows, maybe he was destroyed by other forces, but I can guarantee that he is definitely capable, and he also has a special skill, a very sensitive sense of smell, and can track ships through the sea wind. He is on our fishing boat
He can avoid the pursuit of the pirate ship, and his combat power is amazing. Even if the ship is overtaken, he can block a hundred with one person!"
"One against a hundred?" Jessica's eyelids twitched: "Then I want to see who it is."
Dali nodded firmly: "You're an ordinary guy, one is worth a hundred!"
Bluetooth, A-level soldiers, against ordinary NPCs of the same level, plus the terrifying sea battles of pirates + 30% increase in combat effectiveness, it is simply a meat grinder.
Jessica said: "Have you made an appointment with him? Then we will go to the cargo terminal."
The space gate fluctuated, and Dali and Jessica appeared at the cargo dock. All NPCs were active here, and few players appeared. There was a burst of noise, and by the bonfire not far away, a big man was drinking and fist-fighting with a group of humans.
Dali pointed out: "That's him! I'll call him over."
Jessica said: "Okay - wait, if it is true that one is worth a hundred warriors, I have to go see him in person, don't neglect it!"
The face is filled with strong inner flow, what is this called? The legendary Mingzhu!
The people by the fire saw Dali and Jessica coming, and hurriedly stood up and saluted. Of course it was to Jessica. Although Jessica was a homebody, not many people knew her. However, just because of her status as a magician
, no one dares to be disrespectful. Of course, it’s another matter how good the players are as mages. Anyway, there are no weak NPC mages. However, there are a lot of gossips on the dock, and how many people don’t know what Jessica got from the town garrison commander?
Compensated?
Bluetooth also stood up, looked at Jessica, with a solemn look on his face, and instinctively held the ax handle.
He introduced vigorously: "This is the magician Ms. Jessica, my teacher."
Jessica nodded with great satisfaction: "I heard that you are a mercenary and very capable. My fishing boat is being harassed by pirates. Are you willing to be a bodyguard for my fishing boat?"
Bluetooth's eyes lit up: "How much is the reward?"
Jessica held out five fingers: "5%, 5% of each fishing trip is your reward!"
Wow! The crowd onlookers shouted: "Is the salary paid per trip, not monthly!?"
Jessica wondered: "Everyone else is paid monthly?"
The onlookers immediately shut up. It turned out that the new female boss of the contract seemed to not understand the industry rules.
Jessica looked at her words and understood where she had made a mistake. However, as a powerful magician, she could not change her words easily, so she nodded: "The rule I set is to calculate it on a per-trip basis. This makes it easier to work part-time."
Bluetooth said again: "Look at the boat."
Jessica said: "Come this way."
The few human drinking friends who were watching also shamelessly followed behind.
When everyone arrived at the dock where Jessica's boat was parked, the four Hurleys and Wollson, who had been transformed into a human by the human-shaping technique, immediately got off the boat to greet them. Bluetooth got on the boat and walked around, looking at Woson in confusion.
Erson and those dull "human beings" sniffed their noses: "The smell of beasts."
Jessica was shocked. It was unimaginable that human noses were stronger than those of kobolds! Only then did she truly believe what Dali said about his miraculous sense of smell. Talents are rare!
Then he said to him: "They are all interns and do not receive wages. How about this? This ship is quite big. Are you willing to be the bodyguards of our ship?"
Bluetooth said: "Okay, I like to stay on the boat."
Jessica took out a contract with a smile and said: "In that case, just sign or fingerprint."
Bluetooth said: "It's really troublesome. How can I sign something with just one sentence?" But he still put his fingerprints on the contract.
No! You didn’t even read the contract, so you weren’t afraid that Jessica would sell you out? And Jessica also looked disappointed. If she had known that he was so generous, she would have sold him on the contract!
Jessica sighed secretly and reminded: "This is what is written in the contract. Your main task is to find a way to avoid pirates on the fishing boat. If it cannot be avoided, you will protect the fishing boat and its crew. Do you understand?"
Bluetooth said: "Understood."
At this time, a drinking buddy of Bluetooth said: "Madam, such a big brig does not have enough sailors. If it is not fast, it will not be able to avoid pirates."
Jessica sighed: "Ah, it seems there are not enough sailors. Hiring people is a problem."
People in the elven kingdom advocate art, tactics, and magic. As for basic livelihood industries such as agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishery, those who have the conditions not to do it will never do it. Therefore, it is still difficult for fishermen to hire workers. The surplus labor force on the dwarf humans is exactly what they see.
Business opportunities are coming to the Elf Kingdom one after another. However, these people behave vulgarly, are greedy for money and lust, which seriously affects the atmosphere of the Elf Kingdom. The Elf King issued a temporary residence visa in anger. Only those who can meet the terms and conditions of the visa can stay here. As long as they make mistakes
Points will be deducted, and once the points are deducted, they will be repatriated. Most of the people who work here are low-level working people. How can they meet the requirements of various gentleman clauses on the visa? Many people are repatriated, resulting in a shortage of employees. And in the remote small town of Nasaiyan
Town, it is even more difficult to find a job.
The drinking friends immediately said: "Madam, madam, we are willing to come to your ship to be sailors!"
Bluetooth coughed dryly and said: "They are very capable."
Damn, it really is a cannibal with a short mouth.
Under the visa system, although those who are repatriated are garbage, those who stay may not be elites. Because many people are desperate and live a life of eating and sleeping just to make a living. There is nothing wrong with them.
Jessica didn't have a good impression of greedy and treacherous human beings, and because it was hard to find a job in Nasaiyan, workers often asked for extortionate prices, so she asked: "Where are you from? What are your abilities?"
One person said: "Madam, my name is Victor. I was once a shipper under the Tulip Chamber of Commerce in the Lionheart Empire. Because my goods were robbed by pirates, I went bankrupt and owed huge debts. Others may have thought that I was dead."
I don't dare to go back and stay in this remote town to work and make a living. I have superb driving skills, I can also predict the weather by stargazing, and draw sea charts. I also have good swordsmanship and can fight pirates.
.”
Another person said: "My name is Renn. I used to be a corporal in the Lionheart Empire Navy. Now I am just a deserter. I am not a coward. I am just unwilling to be the cannon fodder of those big shots. But after all, it is shameful.
I am telling you this to show my sincerity. I can fire a ballista, hold a sail, and use a sword."
"My name is Maryland. I am a friend of Ren's. I am an army physician and chef. My specialty is grilled eels. I am also a deserter. It was Ren who rescued me at the time. His swordsmanship is really good."
Renne said hurriedly: "We were seriously injured when we escaped. It was Maryland who healed me. His medical skills are really good, and his cooking skills are also very good."
The last person said: "My name is Defoe. I have no other ability but my strength. Because I accidentally hurt a certain young master, I have been staying here and dare not go back."
Jessica nodded: "It seems that you all say that you are good at it, but I only look at your grades. If you can prove yourself through your grades, I will officially hire you. Your salary will be calculated based on your grades. How about that?"
The four said: "As long as we can get a stable job, we are willing to do anything!"
"Very good, very good. Since you all have your own specialties, I will temporarily place you in a position..."
Hey, Dali is really filled with emotions. Player recruitment is really easy.
