Chapter 556 It’s a New Year Again
Chapter 556 It’s a new year again.
The busy streets were filled with people watching the fireworks, and there were long queues in front of the stalls made of wooden frames.
Most of them were set up by residents of the shelter, and many were set up by locals who followed suit, intending to make some “new money” during the festive atmosphere.
”…So our task today is to eat and drink a lot at the celebration?” Looking at the stamping pen in her hand, Pai raised her eyebrows and touched her chin. When
Chu Guang came to her in a serious manner yesterday, she thought it was a particularly troublesome task, but she didn’t expect it to be so simple.
Find a stall of residents of the shelter on the street to eat and drink for free, and then poke on the electronic scoring sheet of the stall owner VM and it’s done.
What a strange task.
”Don’t underestimate this important task,” Xiaoyu, who was holding a stamping pen, saw the disapproval on Pai’s face and said seriously, “Brother Chu said that this is a very important ‘wanjia event’, and many residents of the shelter have been looking forward to it for a whole year. If they get full marks, they will be happy for a whole year.”
”And Brother Chu also said that there will be some strange food mixed in the celebration. If you find it, you must immediately press the alarm button on the VM.”
Because of her obsessive-compulsive disorder, she finished her words in one breath, and coughed twice at the end.
”Eh!? Is it so scary?”
Looking at the frightened Pai, Xiaoyu nodded seriously.
”Yes! So, you must not take it lightly, especially when you meet a guy called Mosquito.”
Seeing that Xiaoyu didn’t look like he was joking, Pai looked around nervously.
Alyssa, who was walking next to the two, tilted her head.
”If you will be happy as long as you get full marks…why don’t you just give them all high marks?”
She felt that the residents of the shelter were all very good people, and she couldn’t bear to think of giving them bad reviews.
At this moment, she was wearing a cotton-white windbreaker, a floppy white beret with yellow edges, and a red and black plaid scarf around her neck.
Perhaps because she had experienced too many things, her temperament looked much more mature. Although they were about the same age, when she stood next to the two, she was obviously more like the elder sister.
Xiaoyu shook her head.
”That would be unfair to those who took the task seriously.”
”It should not be underestimated. I didn’t expect that this simple task would have such rich connotations!” Pai said with a gleaming look in his eyes, “It’s decided! Let Pai be the bad guy!”
Let’s give a few zeros to cheer her up!
Xiaoyu frowned and said.
”No, it has to be a fair judgment!”
Otherwise, no one will choose her next year.
Alyssa looked at Xiaoyu curiously and asked.
”You have been talking about tasks just now…but isn’t this a celebration event?”
Xiaoyu: “Actually, it means the same thing. Brother Chu said that everyone is a task master, and it is common sense to treat activities as tasks.”
Pai asked curiously.
”What is a task master?”
Xiaoyu shook her head.
”I don’t know… maybe it means that you will be happy after completing the task.”
What hardworking people…
Listening to the two people’s conversation, Alyssa couldn’t help but have more respect for the residents wearing blue coats.
No matter what, they are always at the forefront.
No wonder the residents of the alliance trust them so much.
”We can’t let them down.”
”Yeah!” Xiaoyu nodded happily, “Come on!”
”Let’s start with dessert first!” Pai, who was still on guard a minute ago, looked around excitedly as soon as he walked to the edge of the snack street.
Looking at the two people jumping in and the street full of fireworks in front of her, Alyssa couldn’t help but smile.
This is a scene that has never been seen in Boulder City.
In the past, let alone smiling faces, she couldn’t even see their eyes.
People walked hurriedly with their heads down, following the rules like puppets on strings, going from one place to another, but not knowing where they were going.
Now everything has started again. People can think about this problem for themselves, think about how to go in the future, what kind of person to become, where to go or which star to go.
Thinking of the conversation with the manager yesterday, Alyssa suddenly had a glimmer of enlightenment in her mind. Why did the manager tell her “that is not the answer”.
It is normal for the workers’ union to feel confused about the future after victory. That itself belongs to the spoils of the victor.
Only mountains, rivers, birds and beasts will not be confused.
”…It’s great to talk to him.” It
would be even better if I could go shopping with the manager…
I can tell him about this discovery.
As Alyssa thought about it, the brim of her hat with broken snow suddenly floated with heat. She blushed and shook her head to drive away this extravagant idea.
The respected manager must be busy doing work behind the scenes. If I disturb him at this time, it will definitely bother him.
’…Father said that Alyssa is already an adult and can’t always think about relying on others.’
Alyssa clenched her fists and thought silently in her heart.
There will be delicious food later, bring some to him too!
Thinking of this, she quickened her pace and caught up with Xiaoyu and Pai.
The two were standing in front of a strange machine, looking at the cotton wrapped around a wooden stick, their eyes sparkling.
”Oh oh oh! What kind of cotton is that?”
”How do I eat this–ah! You are that mosquito!” Xiaoyu screamed in surprise when she recognized the man standing next to the machine
. Pai, who was standing next to him, immediately became alert and dodged from the machine.
Amused by the actions of the two, the fight-stopper and the killer laughed heartlessly, and Du Ming, who didn’t want to be remembered, covered his face.
”Hahaha, are you already so notorious?” Zhuihun poked Mosquito with his elbow and said with a smirk.
”Tsk! What do you mean by notorious? This is–” Mosquito, who rolled his eyes at his apprentice, was looking at the customer. When he saw Pai, his eyes widened instantly, “Fuck?! Are you that saint–cough! Is it that oil?!”
”What?” Pai crossed his arms and frowned, “You are very rude… Hiss, have I seen you somewhere before?”
Mosquito smiled flatteringly.
”That time was a misunderstanding… By the way, I never had the chance to thank you in person. Thank you so much for the aviation fuel! It was a great help!” This was true both
in and outside the game.
Pai was so proud of being praised that he instantly put aside the little unhappiness and said proudly.
”You’re welcome, it’s a small matter.”
”Hehe,” Mosquito smiled embarrassedly and rubbed his hands, “Do you have any similar good things, finished products and formulas?”
”Similar?” Pai looked at him strangely, “What are you talking about? That kind of strange thing can be used for a while, you are not going to continue to make chemical-powered aircraft, are you?”
Mosquito said anxiously.
”Is it not possible? It can be used!”
Pai shook his head.
”Give it up. That kind of thing was almost eliminated in the Prosperity Era. Who would spend time studying it? Asking me this question is like asking about a secret recipe for improving black gunpowder. All I can tell you is to add a little sugar.”
Duoming and Quanjia looked at each other. The latter shrugged helplessly, and the former scratched his head.
Mosquito sighed.
”Is that so… What you said makes sense.”
Think about it.
After all, the Prosperity Era is set in an era when FTL engines and anti-gravity devices were made. Chemical rockets may have been eliminated eight generations ago.
He probably knows a little bit about “Wasteland OL”. The background of the production team of this game is not simple. Although most of the technology is completely fictional, some “low-based” technology is theoretically supported in reality.
In other words, it can be used directly.
The official and the private sector have made a lot of money from this, and even formed a tacit understanding, but these are all off-topic.
Even if there are not so many complicated interests, he still enjoys this relaxed and happy MMORPG.
”Ah… I almost forgot about the main thing,” Mosquito snatched three cotton candies from the hands of the dead, stuffed them into the hands of the three customers, and handed the VM out with a smile, “Please give a good review to the three judges, thank you!”
Feng Qing, who was standing next to him, kindly reminded him.
”You will be deducted points if you take the initiative to ask for good reviews.”
Mosquito was shocked.
”Fuck! I just said it casually, is it so strict?”
It was the same last time!
He just blurted out a sentence in excitement, and was sent in by a certain hateful tail.
Guigui looked away with a subtle expression.
”Because some judges are not good at refusing.”
She didn’t have much confidence in whether she could restore the taste. Those were desserts she had eaten when she was very young.
However, her worries were obviously unnecessary.
Within two seconds, a scream sounded in front of the stall.
”Wow!!! This is so delicious! Do I need to spit out the cotton-eh? It’s not cotton? It melted in my mouth!”
Pai widened his eyes in surprise.
Xiaoyu at the side had buried her face in the cotton candy, and her eyes had completely turned the color of cotton candy.
”How… is this made?!” Alyssa took a sip of the snow-white cotton, her eyes full of wonder.
She looked at the people behind the stall excitedly, but soon as if she remembered something, she added in a low voice embarrassedly.
”Is it not good to ask about the formula… If it is inconvenient to answer, just pretend I didn’t ask.”
Feng Qing said with a smile.
”Actually, it’s not inconvenient. The principle is very simple. Just make a heater and a motor… Even if you don’t ask, we plan to teach it to the survivors here later.”
This is not a difficult technique, and it is easy to learn.
Alyssa looked at her excitedly.
”Thank you!”
In this way, even if you don’t have to wait for the celebration, you can eat such a delicious and magical dessert in Boulder City in the future!
Feng Qing was a little embarrassed to be thanked, and said with a shy smile.
”You’re welcome. I’m also very happy to be able to help everyone.”
She blushed and looked away, looking at Gui Gui at the side.
”By the way, let’s bring some to Citrus too.”
”Okay!”
Guigui laughed and grabbed a cart, moved an unused cotton candy machine onto it, and shouted to Mosquito.
”Boss Mosquito, lend it to us!”
Because the principle is very simple and the process is not very troublesome, they not only made a cotton candy machine, but also prepared to sell some to the locals.
Mosquito laughed and waved his hand, saying generously.
”Use it! I’ll open the B-end market for you!”
In fact, before Alyssa, many NPCs had come to him curiously to ask where to buy cotton candy machines.
It seems that it’s not just cotton candy that is selling well tonight.
The “black technology” of Goblin Technology is also going to sell well!
…
At the other end of the snack street.
A handsome man with a thick scarf around his neck was holding the hand of a green-haired girl.
He stopped in front of a stall selling sundries, reached out and picked up a palm-sized display screen, and asked casually.
”Boss, where did you get this?”
Seeing that someone finally took a fancy to the little gadget that no one wanted, the stall owner hid his smug joy and said cheerfully.
”Ah, this, I found it near the inner city. It’s probably a collection of an old noble. If you like it… I’ll sell it to you for 10 silver coins.”
”You’re kidding. Can this scrap be sold for 10 silver coins? I think 10 chips is about right.”
Fang Chang smiled and was about to put the thing in his hand back.
Seeing this, the stall owner panicked and quickly changed his words.
”5 silver coins! How about 5 silver coins?”
Fang Chang shook his head and raised his index finger.
”1 silver coin, forget it if it doesn’t work. I find it a nuisance to hold in my hand.”
”…Okay, I’ll pay!” The stall owner nodded with a bitter face, but hid his smugness under his brow.
He picked it up originally.
Not to mention one silver coin, he made a profit of half a silver coin!
Without exposing the smugness hidden behind that expression, Fang Chang smiled and left one silver coin on the stall, gently pulled Dolly’s little hand, and continued to walk forward with her.
Dolly, who was walking next to him, curiously leaned over to take a look at his hand.
”What is this… Eh? It looks like yours!”
Fang Chang joked.
”After all, they are a family.”
”A family?”
”Well, the difference between a father and a son,” Fang Chang gently tossed the palm-sized trading device in his hand and smiled faintly, “This is the son.” The
battery was used up, and no numbers or lines could be seen on the screen, otherwise it would have been very exciting.
Speaking of which, he thought Ji Xiu would come to the northern suburbs to find him, so he stayed in Dawn City for so long, but he didn’t expect that coward to run away.
Just run away, he won’t feel sorry for that fool.
Everything is his own fault.
Dolly glanced at Fang Chang and asked in a low voice.
”Did you press that button in the end?”
”No,” Fang Chang put the trader into his pocket and said in a relaxed tone, “You said not to press it, so I didn’t press it. Anyway, the result is no different.”
He had already taken what he wanted from here, and the remaining ones were just idle numbers.
Besides, in the end, the chips themselves had collapsed, and the S coins linked to the chips naturally lost their meaning. There was no difference whether there was the last step or not.
”But it’s really unexpected… I didn’t expect that one day Boulder City would become so lively.” Looking at the bustling streets in the distance, Dolly said with some emotion.
Fang Chang smiled and said,
”Do you have an idea for tomorrow’s headline?”
”Yeah!” Dolly nodded, and suddenly her eyes lit up. She looked at him and continued, “Do you think anyone will see the fireworks over Boulder City and come all the way to join us?”
This was what she suddenly thought of.
In addition to those famous survivor settlements, there are actually many large and small survivor communities hidden in the wasteland.
There are even many in Qingquan City!
Fang Chang smiled and touched her head.
”It’s hard to say, in fact, many survivors of the Alliance came this way.”
I remember when the Frostspear tribe first came, they saw the smoke lingering in the northern suburbs, and brought their tribesmen here with the idea of giving it a try.
Unlike the ideal buried in the heart, prosperity is something that can be seen with the eyes.
When the fireworks are reflected in people’s eyes, people who yearn for light will naturally go there under the guidance of the light.
This is the case for the wastelanders, including the Frostspear tribe, and the workers in Boulder City.
In the future, there will be more survivors who are fed up with the wasteland united under the common flag in their hands.
It is a greater weapon than guns and cannons.
And it can do things that guns and cannons can’t do…
At this moment, Fang Chang didn’t know that, as he said, under the same night sky, many people were looking at the flames burning in the air in the dark.
In the eastern suburbs of Qingquan City, more than a dozen oxcarts were parked beside the highway outside the city. Several caravan guards gathered together and lit cigarettes with matches.
”Why are we spending the winter outside this year? The tide has come early.”
”Something happened in Boulder City, so we can’t go.”
”Something happened? What’s the problem?”
”The weather has changed.”
The slightly older guard glanced at the group of “goods” next to the oxcart and curled his lips in disdain, “If I didn’t bring these guys, I could still go.”
In the past, the Alliance did not interfere with the slave trade. It only prohibited the abuse of slaves or killing on the Alliance’s territory. Sometimes it would pay to buy slaves passing through.
But since the victory over the Legion, the group of blue gophers suddenly stopped acting and began to learn from the settlements in Yunjian Province to prohibit all human transactions.
As a result, they now dare not approach the border of the Alliance, and they have to act separately to purchase supplies.
”These damn blue gophers…” A guard cursed, threw the cigarette butt into the snow, and stepped hard to put it out.
Another guard also cursed.
”I hope they won’t live past spring!”
The slaves who were huddled next to the two-headed cow for warmth heard the guards’ curses and whispered to each other.
”Where will we be taken?”
”The boss said we’ll go to the north.”
”I remember it was called something…”
The young man sitting in the corner suddenly interrupted.
”Free State?”
Hearing the strange voice, everyone looked at the young man.
They recognized this guy. Although he looked gray and dirty, he was actually white and clean, completely different from these dark and thin guys. He should be able to sell for a higher price.
About two weeks ago, they had just entered the Valley Province and found this half-dead guy in the wilderness.
Then, he was caught by the guards with guns, his luggage was robbed, and he was shackled and kept company with them.
Thinking that he might know something, a curly-haired boy asked curiously.
”Have you been there?”
Another child who looked young also interrupted.
”I heard that’s a good place.”
Hearing their discussion, Jixiu curled his cracked lips.
”Maybe.”
After experiencing those things, he was no longer willing to believe in hearsay.
A skinny young man came up to him.
”Hey, you seem to know a lot of things.”
Jixiu smiled self-deprecatingly.
”Your vision is not very good, and the person in front of you is just a waste.”
The young man was stunned.
He has seen people with foul mouths, but this is the first time he has seen someone with foul mouths.
This guy is really extraordinary.
”Then… do you know the Alliance?”
”The Alliance…” Jixiu’s eyes showed some complexity, and he muttered to himself, “That may be a good place for you.”
The curly-haired boy lowered his head and muttered a complaint.
”Come on, if they are really as good as you say, why don’t they come to save us?”
Jixiu said casually.
”They only save themselves and those who can be saved.”
Another boy couldn’t help but whispered.
”What is saved?”
”At least they have to save themselves.”
It’s really ironic.
In the end, I became the one who understood those guys the most.
Jixiu smiled self-deprecatingly.
But it doesn’t matter.
He is already dead anyway…
wherever he floats to is fine.
Most of the slaves looked at each other, not understanding his riddle, and turned to continue talking about their destination, the place called Free State.
Some people said that they were actually going to the swamp in the north.
Although there was no point in discussing this thing, they couldn’t decide where they would be sold, but they were idle anyway.
Only the skinny guy squatting next to Jixiu stared at the fireworks in the distance and muttered to himself.
”People who can be saved… people who save themselves.”
He wanted to know more about the alliance.
It’s not because of how beautiful it is in the legend, nor because the fireworks there are beautiful, but purely because those ferocious guards changed their faces when they mentioned the alliance.
Just like a mouse seeing a cat.
He also wants to obtain that kind of power!
The power that the hyenas in the wasteland fear!
In a corner that no one noticed, a seed has been quietly planted…
No one knows what it will grow into.
…
The New Year’s Eve celebration is still going on, and the festive atmosphere is not only overflowing in the streets, but also overflowing to the shops on the street.
At the Pirate Bay Tavern on the edge of Boulder City, the firewood in the fireplace crackles, and the not-so-spacious room is filled with noisy guests.
Since the incident, this tavern has been closed for rectification.
However, starting from tonight’s New Year’s Eve, the Boulder City authorities ended the curfew, and the tavern was able to reopen.
Some of the customers sitting here drinking are mercenaries, some are workers from the settlement, and some are citizens.
Since last week, industrial products from Boulder City have entered Luoxia Province through the trade hub of Luoye City, and Luoxia Province’s grain has also flowed here through there.
As the circulation of logistics has resumed, low-quality beer diluted with water has become history.
A kilogram of corn costs less than one silver coin, while a glass of beer only needs one silver coin, and a large glass only needs two silver coins.
According to the latest minimum wage standard of the Alliance, which is 2 silver coins per hour, even if you do the cheapest job in the construction team, you can get two glasses of beer in an hour.
Not to mention the mercenaries, the rewards for hard work are generally one or two zeros higher than those for physical work.
”It’s been a long time since it’s been so lively here.”
”Yeah.”
Several cement factory workers sat together, drinking beer and eating skewers, while looking at the flashing fireworks outside the window and chatting.
”…That apartment building is simply amazing! Don’t be afraid of you laughing at me, I never thought that one day I would be able to live in a house with stairs!”
”It’s much more convenient to take a shower!”
At this time, someone drank too much and stood up and shouted.
”Praise the manager! Praise the Alliance! Give us beer without water! And a house that doesn’t leak!”
There was a burst of laughter all around.
”Hahaha!”
”Your wish is too humble. Let the Alliance help you find a wife!”
”Don’t worry about that. I heard that the manager himself doesn’t even have
one.” “Oh, I really hope he can have more children.”
”It’s a pity that Lovett doesn’t have a daughter. Otherwise, we can actually try to make Boulder City and the Alliance more closely united… in the sense of blood.”
Although the Workers’ Union always said that ideals are a stronger bond than blood, it still can’t withstand people’s simple wishes and enthusiasm.
Those arrogant old men in the city are gone.
The gangs outside the city have been wiped out.
The mercenaries who were aggressive and violent have also kept their tails between their legs.
The military strength of the Alliance is extremely strong.
They can light up the entire night sky with fireworks, and no one will doubt that they can also use a torrential rain of shells to fight the surging waves.
At this time, a hooded man pushed open the door and walked into the bar.
The bartender standing behind the bar looked at him and said in a casual tone.
”What do you want?”
The man took off his hood and saw the bartender standing behind the bar, with a surprised expression on his face.
”You are still alive?”
The bartender smiled faintly and said.
”Do I have any reason to die?”
The man narrowed his eyes and stared at the bartender for a while.
This guy is of course not a bartender, but the owner of the Pirate Bay Tavern, White Shark. This
guy likes to stand in front of the bar and wash glasses when he has nothing to do, so he is always mistaken for a bartender. However, people who are familiar with this guy know that this guy can’t mix drinks at all, unless poison can be considered as alcohol.
The sale of alcohol is only one of the sources of income for this tavern. The larger business is actually another intermediary business.
The nobles in the inner city have inconvenient jobs that need manpower, but it is not easy to go out and contact those vulgar mercenaries and gang members in person, so they will need roles such as middlemen. Some merchants who need to hire bodyguards will also find reliable middlemen to introduce reliable people.
And this guy named White Shark is probably the most reliable middleman in this settlement. Usually, if someone needs his help, they will ask him for a glass of honey water.
Seeing that the man was slow to order, the bartender put a glass of warm water in front of him.
The man did not drink it, but just talked to himself.
”The boss and the second in command of the Poison Gang are dead.”
White Shark said in a casual tone.
”At the city gate, I heard that they died tragically.”
”You don’t seem surprised at all, that’s your big client… Oh, I see,” the man showed a look of realization on his face, looking at him with a smile, “You guy, you’ve been working for the alliance for a long time.”
If the alliance wants to get rid of the gangs outside the giant wall in the shortest time, starting with the business that these middlemen have contacted is undoubtedly the easiest way.
Without denying the man’s statement, White Shark smiled faintly and said.
”Not everyone is qualified to be a dog for the alliance. It is my honor to serve the real big man… In addition, if you don’t want to be kicked out, it’s better to change to a more polite name.”
For example, informant.
This is what the Guards call him, and he also prefers this name.
”Don’t be like this, man,” the man smiled and waved his hands, begging for mercy, “So? What should I call you?”
White Shark said in a casual tone.
”Just the same as before, anyway, my job has not changed, I’m just a bar owner.”
The man narrowed his eyes.
”What if I don’t want to drink today, but want to contact some reliable mercenaries?”
”Then you’ve found the right person.”
Stopping his hand wiping the wine glass, White Shark put the wine glass and rag aside, looking at the man in front of the bar and continued.
”Tell me, what job?”
The man said slowly.
”Something went wrong with the business in the south. I need some capable guys, at least ten people, and with enough firepower.”
White Shark raised his eyebrows.
”Predators?”
”No…” The man shook his head and said gloomily, “It’s not as simple as a predator. It’s related to mutants.”
”Really? Then the general mercenary group probably can’t meet your needs,” White Shark touched his chin, thought for a moment, took out a tablet from under the bar and handed it to him, “Fill in your needs on it.”
The man was slightly stunned after taking the tablet.
”What is this?”
White Shark introduced it briefly.
”The terminal of the mercenary guild.”
Seeing that the man’s face was more confused, he continued.
”You may not know since you just came here. Some time ago, the alliance set up a pilot mercenary guild in Boulder City. Now the mercenaries in Boulder City need to register before they can take the job.”
Because the franchised bars will be marked on the map provided by the mercenary guild, most bars for mercenary groups have become “offline outlets” of the mercenary guild.
The man’s eyebrows twitched.
”Even you have an organization?”
”Yes, and it’s mandatory,” White Shark shrugged. “The guild is responsible for assessing the level of mercenaries, assessing the success rate of tasks, and matching the difficulty of tasks with professional qualifications… Giving high-difficulty tasks to low-level mercenaries will be jointly liable.”
The man said in surprise.
”This sounds a bit like the mercenary guild in the northern Bugera Free State.”
White Shark shrugged.
”Not exactly the same, for example, the commission, in addition to the commission paid to the mercenary guild, there is also an additional guarantee paid by the employer.”
The man frowned and asked.
”What is that?”
White Shark said casually.
”It’s equivalent to insurance, but it’s not very similar to the fooling thing that the Big Stone Bank used to make. For example, if you are disabled, someone will help you replace your prosthesis, and give you a pension when you reach retirement age. I remember that it was a value-added service in Bugera, and you need to buy it yourself, but here it is a mandatory requirement.”
The man curled his lips.
”Hehe, using money to tie those people up?”
White Shark laughed.
”I guess so. Pensions are linked to mercenary levels, so if you don’t want your pension to go down the drain, it’s best not to do some unregistered black jobs. Deducting points is a small matter, but revoking your qualifications is a big deal.”
This idea is indeed quite clever.
The reason why those mercenaries are disobedient is largely because they have no scruples.
Most of them have no concept of saving, and live a life of drinking and enjoying today. After all, they might die tomorrow because of a small mistake.
It is difficult to expect someone who has never planned to live beyond 35 to consider things many years later.
Now, the Alliance forces them to save for their future lives through the Mercenary Guild, and at the same time uses this money as a constraint to discipline them.
If a mercenary takes jobs normally, he will most likely take jobs within his ability, and his current and future life will be guaranteed.
If he is found to take unregistered black jobs that violate the laws of the Alliance, he will not only be punished by law enforcement agencies, but also by the Mercenary Guild.
If the qualification for employment, that is, the mercenary level, is downgraded, not only will he not be able to take jobs, but his future living security standards will also be affected.
On the other hand, the filing of the commission by the Mercenary Guild can also restrain both the employer and the employee, reduce the trust cost between the two, and prevent the commission itself from causing harm to society.
Although both are called Mercenary Guilds, the original intention and nature of the Alliance to establish the Mercenary Guild are completely different from the Bughra Free State.
The latter is “labor outsourcing” for the company’s benefits, while the Alliance’s approach is to propose a compromise solution to existing social problems.
This is good for everyone.
”…It is not realistic to let a group of desperadoes change jobs in the same place. There are too many places in the wasteland that need them. They can’t do other jobs, and they can’t adapt to routine work. But leaving it alone is not okay. There are a lot of such guys in Boulder City. So the Alliance compromised. Private armed forces have a need to exist in the wasteland, but they must be regulated.”
The man frowned and said.
”But if it is filed, many commissions can’t be done.”
For example, some commissions to kill people.
”Hehe, if you want to find someone to do the dirty work, you can find one, but I’m afraid I can’t help you here… The people of the Alliance are watching me very closely, and I don’t want to make money that I can’t spend my life on, and you don’t want to run into a gun, right?”
Seeing that the man didn’t say a word, White Shark smiled faintly and continued in a soft voice.
”But if it’s a clean job, such as exploring ruins, running errands and delivering goods, and eliminating looters… I can even help you invite more professional experts.”
The man raised his eyebrows.
”More professional?”
White Shark nodded slightly.
”Yes, many residents of the shelter have also registered as mercenaries, and many of them are veterans who have returned from Luoxia Province. Whether in terms of equipment or experience, they are much better than those scattered soldiers. If you want to deal with a group of mutants, there is no better candidate than them.”
Hearing this, the man held his breath.
Veterans from Luoxia Province!
If he could hire some blue jackets from the Alliance, his hometown might be saved!
”How can I hire those people?”
White Shark showed a happy smile on his face, and pointed his index finger at the tablet in his hand.
”I’ve already told you the method. Honestly register and file, then pay a deposit and prepay part of the reward.”
”Within 24 hours, someone will arrange it for you.”
