Chapter 578: Chapter 175: Fake Recruitment_3

Su Xiaocai taught the seven of Luo Lianliang, also for the mecha’s after-sales service.

Black Wing has many special parts, which are quite different from today’s mecha components, and the materials have also changed significantly.

Once sold, there must be good after-sales service to facilitate partial replacement of parts through ordinary maintenance masters when the mecha reaches the public.

Customized mechas need several backup parts; not only is the design fee expensive, but also the consumable parts are specially customized.

"Give a range, and I’ll see if I can make it back. If you want to watch my battle videos, can we sign a confidentiality agreement with each other? I don’t want the videos to leak out, and I don’t want anyone other than you to see it." The Big Demon deliberately lowered his voice and asked, "When can you give a quote?"

He might scrape some off from Captain Yun Ji.

"Wait a moment." Su Xiaocai immediately turned on the computer to calculate costs, and the Big Demon quietly watched. This mecha carried Yun Ji’s hopes; he didn’t want the price to be too high, nor too low, only to produce a Two Star mecha.

"The initial estimate is 3 billion; it’s just an estimate. It might be more. Can you accept it? I can’t give you a Super Star Mecha, about a Four Star instead."

There’s no buddy pricing; Su Xiaocai has already hiked up the price as much as possible.

She is still too honest to bear to earn too fiercely. Earning twenty billion felt like too much, and there are taxes to pay later.

When Su Xiaocai mentioned the word "Super Star," the Big Demon straightened his back, "Super Star Mecha? Can you make a Super Star Mecha?"

"Only an Admiral can pilot a Super Star Mecha. Forget about it for you guys in Yun Ji." If Su Xiaocai’s red mecha was piloted by Admiral Bai, it might solve an Insect Mother in five minutes.

Except for that time, as it had a sustainable nutrition unit.

It would be a waste to give a Super Star Mecha to the Big Demon, as it couldn’t fully utilize the machine’s potential.

Moreover, Super Star Mecha materials are hard to come by, and only the military has the capability to get them for her. Yun Ji doesn’t have that strength yet.

If it breaks down, she would have to repair it herself, which is too troublesome.

"If there comes a day when Super Star Mechas are available without restrictions, can you make one for me?" Thirty billion isn’t unearnable; slaying an Insect Mother or an Insect Man Warrior would make it back.

In the mercenary world, killing an Insect Mother or an Insect Man Warrior has always been one of the highest honors. There aren’t even ten teams capable of hunting them.

Yun Ji is aspiring for this goal.

Yun Ji doesn’t want to wallow in New World’s quick money; that kind of money is like a tall building with an unstable foundation and would collapse soon.

To progress and become stronger, one must constantly challenge. To sharpen your skills, first, sharpen your tools.

They always remembered what they relied on to make money back.

Strength is the key to earning in the future. When slaying Insect Men, they’d buy the military’s live-streaming equipment and start streaming, earning more income. Brilliant!

"The project duration is uncertain. Pay one-third in advance, and I’ll try to give it to you within a year." Su Xiaocai calculated the time; two or three months should be enough.

But with both Admiral Bai and Vice Admiral Bai being foxes, who knows if they’ll give her some trouble.

The Big Demon wasn’t concerned. Su Xiaocai promising delivery within a year was already very efficient.

Many masters spend half a year just drawing, making it seem like the project is not worth the price if the duration is not long enough.

The Big Demon, generous in earning, blinked not an eye to pay ten billion upfront. Captain Yun Ji had initially given him a high budget.

Being generous could earn the favor of a mecha master, and Yun Ji would profit greatly.

Su Xiaocai took the ten billion and bid farewell to the Big Demon.

Seeing the ten billion credited, Su Xiaocai excitedly went on a shopping spree, but even after buying a lot, she hadn’t spent even ten thousand.

All were little things for growing vegetables, small porcelain pots, organic fertilizers...

Growing vegetables isn’t profitable; the things bought back also don’t seem to cost much.

After shopping, she felt invigorated.

On the way back, the Big Demon bumped into a clean and handsome man as he passed by. He felt a bit tempted to flirt, but upon meeting his gaze, he lost interest.

Looking at the clean man, his eyes were murky, with desires and ambitions too strong.

Not long after the Big Demon left, Su Xiaocai suddenly had a twitchy eyebrow and a chill down her spine. Looking up at the sky, it was dark with heavy clouds, possibly about to rain.

Then Yang Zhao appeared again.

Su Xiaocai was puzzled. An access route leading here was already sealed off; how did he get in?

"Anything you need?"

Yang Zhao, mustering courage, said, "I saw you registered an assistant recruitment on Blue Star’s foreign news network. I applied to be your assistant, hoping you’ll seriously consider me. I admire you and wish to learn more under you."

"Do you understand mechanics?"

"I can learn."

"Do you understand finance?"

"I can learn."

"Do you know how to slaughter chickens and pigs?"

"I can... what?"

Not even asking about vegetable growing?

"You see, you know nothing and need others to teach you, so you’ll spend time learning, don’t you find it contradictory? It’s good to have a decent job; do it well. Your mother surely considers everything for you, so you don’t need to work hard and can get everything easily."

Su Xiaocai didn’t want to call him foolish. What did he have?

Just his face? There’s no shortage of good-looking people.

Yang Zhao should be a smart person; how come he’s acting foolish?

Su Xiaocai’s fingertips lightly tapped on the armrest of the chair, feigning to blame Major Liu, "If the road needs to be sealed, do it properly. Letting anyone in, is this your professional conduct?"

Major Liu stood at attention, "I’ll report it to the higher-ups."

Yang Zhao took a deep breath, his eyes deepening, "I know you wouldn’t consider me as an assistant, but if I don’t do anything, you wouldn’t notice me."

She was just thinking whether Yang Zhao was reminding her.

Saying this made it taste odd, too rushed.

For a romance-allergic Su Xiaocai, goosebumps rose. At that moment, she missed those straightforward friends at Capital Star immensely.

Ji Li rubbed his nose, feeling itchy, was it because recently no one was teasing him? He kind of wanted to find someone to mock.

Yang Zhao’s hand clenched into a fist behind his back; he didn’t want to leave Blue Star.

Days away from his mother, even the air felt fresher.

Once a docile temperament tears open a crack, the longing for freedom grows stronger and stronger.

On one hand, he thought Su Xiaocai was indeed a good choice. Looking at her friends and apprentices around her, they all had their own lives, showing she didn’t have strong controlling desires.

On the other hand, he resisted having a girlfriend more dominant than him, so when approaching Su Xiaocai, he inevitably was perfunctory.

"Mr. Yang, I don’t know what you’re thinking, but in your eyes, there’s no infatuation or admiration, you’re here with a task. Just take it as a stranger’s advice: in life, you can’t have everything; you have to learn to make choices." Su Xiaocai saw his ambition, considering his familial situation, it wasn’t hard to guess.

He was used to following orders, unable to break free from his mother’s pressure, he couldn’t give up his family background, unwilling to part with the advantages family wealth brought.

But many people are like this, Ji Li belonged to the rebellious type, and Yang Zhao couldn’t even mimic it, becoming neither fish nor fowl.

After saying this, Su Xiaocai turned and walked back to her residence without looking back, leaving Yang Zhao standing there in a daze.

Su Xiaocai didn’t remember ever posting a recruitment information. During sensitive times, staying quiet is the wisest choice. Which idiot helped me post that information?

She went inside to check the recruitment information posted on Blue Star’s foreign news network first.

Wisdom 03 immediately searched for related information and retrieved it. The workload for gathering data kept increasing; now she even had to watch out for fake recruitment information.

The recruitment information looked convincing, rivaling the previous mecha company staff recruitment.

This is a news network; it looks legitimate but actually belongs to a private company on Blue Star.

Su Xiaocai was angrily laughing; when did she authorize them to recruit?

One thing hadn’t been resolved, yet another arises. Among those willing to stay on Blue Star, how many actual ghosts are there?

Su Xiaocai logged onto the platform, requesting the news network to take down that recruitment, only to find she couldn’t operate it herself.

She simply phoned the news network. The customer service answered, and after Su Xiaocai explained her intention, she demanded they take down the recruitment.

"I’m sorry, I don’t know. Let me check with the higher-ups first, and I’ll reply to you later."
