Last Totem Novel - Chapter 155
Chapter 155 Compensation
After lunch, Tie Zha told Bai Xiaoyun to contact Qin Ke’er and ask her to help recruit teammates. At this moment, the lounge was very noisy, and Bai Xiaoyun went outside to talk.
Tie Zha lay on the sofa and casually looked in the direction of the entrance, occasionally fiddling with the newly exchanged sunglasses. This sunglasses scan function is very interesting, when scanning women, there is actually an additional data-three sights.
He looked at the little fatty who had quarreled with Bai Xiaoyun and gently pressed the scan button. Because the distance between him and the little fatty was a little far, it was around twenty meters, so the scanning time was much longer. About thirty seconds later, the lens showed the little fatty’s information.
[Human, female, 163cm tall, slightly obese, age 20-28, circumference 87, 72, 90]
At this moment, a tall male student appeared in his line of sight. He walked to the recruitment table of the little fatty and sat down. Because he blocked his line of sight, the scanner scanned him inside.
[Human, male, 188cm tall, robust, age approx. 25-33]
Not long after, the tall male student shook his head and stood up, seemingly helpless. Then, he looked towards Tie Zha, his gaze lingering on the recruitment table that Bai Xiaoyun had rented.
Seeing the male student’s face, Tie Zha’s eyes suddenly narrowed, recognizing that this was his roommate Marcus. From the looks of it, Marcus seemed to be looking for a team to join. He had a good impression of this quiet roommate. Although the world he had come into contact with wasn’t long, it could be seen from many details that Marcus was simple and introverted, honest, and calm. He was quite fond of such a person.
He was wearing big sunglasses, and Marcus didn’t recognize him. Just as he was about to stand up and greet him, Bai Xiaoyun returned. He immediately gave up and watched as Bai Xiaoyun dealt with it.
“Is this friend here to apply?” Bai Xiaoyun asked.
“Yes.” Marcus nodded.
“Do you have any application materials?” “No… No.” Marcus scratched his head in embarrassment.
“It doesn’t matter. Just briefly introduce yourself.” Bai Xiaoyun said gently.
“I… My name is Marcus Baldwin, Marcus was so nervous that he stuttered, “I came from a small farming town in the southern part of the Western Continent. I only have beginner single-handedly skills … I … I know how to use weapons, I don’t understand in class, but I can fight. Really, I … I’ve known how to use guns since I was young … I can hunt … I can kill bears with a knife …”
“Do you know how to turn on the mecha?” Bai Xiaoyun asked.
“No … I won’t.” “I don’t know how to turn on the mecha. I might have to be a logistics officer. How much do you want?” “I… I don’t have the money to pay the tuition fees. I’m going home next year. I just want the tuition fees.”
“Ah, the tuition costs 350 gold a year. You can’t get such a high reward for logistics.” Bai Xiaoyun spread out his hands and said.
“I can fight … fight. You guys go to the dark jungle, I can hunt. Really, believe me, I can use it. I can use a gun, I can use a knife, and I can make traps.” Marcus blushed and said hurriedly.
“How about this, I’ll ask the captain what he means.” After saying that, Bai Xiaoyun turned to look at the iron slag, his gaze filled with inquiry. Tie Zha stood up and walked to Marcus. He raised his hand and pressed the button on the left leg of the mirror. With a “pa-pa-pa” sound, the lens rolled up, revealing the upper half of his face.
“Zhang Tie, what’s wrong with you?” Marcus said in surprise.
Tie Zha grinned and said, “Long time no see. I’m preparing to form a team. Are you interested in joining?”
“Yes … but … but I don’t have the ability.” Marcus scratched his head and said.
“Give me a full punch.” Iron slag said.
“Ah?” Marcus looked at Tie Zha and then at Bai Xiaoyun, hesitating.
“Our Brother Tie is very powerful. He says he will fight.” Bai Xiaoyun said.
“Alright, then I’m coming.” Marcus turned his head to look at the iron slag. The latter said in a deep voice, “Remember, hit with all your might, or your chance will be lost.”
“Alright!” Marcus took a step back and squatted slightly. His muscles suddenly tightened. In an instant, Marcus’s aura froze. With a muffled shout, he smashed his fist towards him!
Tie Zha’s expression froze as he raised his arms to protect his head. Immediately after, a muffled “bang” sound rang out, and a huge force smashed into his arm, knocking him back several steps.
“That’s right.” Tie Zha shook his numb arm and said.
“Actually” Marcus hesitated.
“Actually, you only used less than a third of your strength.” Iron slag helped him finish what he wanted to say, but he didn’t dare to say it. Marcus scratched the back of his head and laughed foolishly. Iron Slag asked him if he was a traditional evolutionary? Marcus honestly said yes, but he was only 18% evolutionary. Afterwards, Tie Zha agreed to Marcus’ request and promised to help him pay his tuition fees. Then, he asked Bai Xiaoyun to take him to complete the registration formalities.
Not long after, Bai Xiaoyun finished the formalities and brought Marcus back from the mission hall. In this way, Marcus became a combat member recruited by the Tie Zha team. Next, Bai Xiaoyun had Marcus stand at attention behind him. He said that this would make the team look very imposing and would help recruit people. Marcus was an honest man. He would do whatever Bai Xiaoyun told him to do.
Seeing Marcus standing straight behind Bai Xiaoyun, Tie Zha shook his head and lay on the sofa, continuing to play with his sunglasses.
About two hours later …
It was two o’clock at noon. Qin Ke’er came to the lounge wearing a gray-white uniform with two small red crosses printed on her chest and back. There were many pockets of field nurses’ uniforms. This field nurse uniform was very similar to the military uniforms of the engineers and mechanics. There were two pockets on his chest, two large pockets on his waist, large pockets on both sides of his thigh, long pockets on both sides of his calf, and a large leather belt tied around his waist. There were many rings on it. This dress is very suitable for carrying all kinds of gadgets and small items, which can greatly improve the efficiency on the battlefield.
After Qin Ke’er entered, she immediately recognized Tie Zha, who was lying on the sofa with sunglasses on. This made Tie Zha’s entire body feel bad, and he was recognized even after covering half of his face. He really felt powerless.
“Do you want to keep me?” Qin Ke’er stared at him.
“I want to invite you to develop together. You are our future partner.” Tie Zha said seriously.
“No, I can only accept maintenance.” Qin Ke’er snorted and said, “You’re trying to use me to recruit people and then kick me, aren’t you? No way!”
“This … I have no intention of doing so.” Tie Zha said humbly. In fact, this was what he was thinking in his heart. He just couldn’t say it out loud. Qin Ke’er said that if she wanted to help them recruit people, she had to bring her along. She was a field nurse. After arriving in the dark jungle, she could stay in the stronghold to manage their supplies, keep accounts, and take care of the wounded. Moreover, their team was full of men, careless, and needed a careful female paperwork.
‘”Nurse and clerk, please only have one piece of money. How nice ~” Qin Ke’er said seductively, her voice becoming incomparably sticky. Tie Zha rolled his eyes. Although it was a portion of money, this portion of money was definitely more than others’.
“Bai Xiaoyun, you are the logistics officer. Come and talk to her about the salary.” Tie Zha casually gave Bai Xiaoyun a job so that he could pick up the hot potato.
Qin Ke’er tugged at Tie Zha’s sleeve and swayed coquettishly, “No, you’re the boss. I’ll only talk to you.”
“Sir … I … I have a stomachache … I’m going to the bathroom … I’ll be right back.” Before he could finish speaking, Bai Xiaoyun fled.
“Brother Tie ~ Ke’er took good care of you a while ago ~ Ke’er still took care of you one mouthful after another …” Qin Ke’er lengthened her voice and said delicately. Tie Zha hurriedly interrupted her and asked her how much she wanted. They were now a new team and did not have enough funds.
‘”Master ~ 50 gold a month, only 50 gold ~” Qin Ke’er smiled and said.
Tie Zha remembered that Bai Xiaoyun had said that he could only earn two silver coins if he stood in the middle of the street and handed out leaflets for half a day. In this way, he could only earn 12 gold coins a month if he handed out leaflets day and night. This Qin Ke’er opened her mouth and asked for 50 gold. It was simply too expensive.
“20 gold.” The slag made a bid.
“Stingy.” Qin Ke’er snorted and said, “Even if I go to the restaurant to pick up plates, I still have 20 gold a month.”
Tie Zha frowned and said that she was lying. Bai Xiaoyun said that he only served 10 gold a month in the restaurant.
“If you two look like that, then the restaurant is pretty good. Can you compare to Ke’er?” Qin Ke’er raised her chin and said, “Otherwise, why did you call Ke’er? Why don’t you hire your own people?”
“25 gold.” The iron slag retreated a step.
“Stingy, the dark jungle is dangerous. It’s different from the environment of the academy.” “What’s the danger of you staying in the stronghold?” “Yes, the stronghold is definitely not as safe as the academy. Moreover, it’s damp over there, and it’s not good for your skin.”
“30 gold. Forget it if you can’t.” Tie Zha’s face stiffened as he said in a deep voice.
“How about 35 gold? Watch Ke Er bite by bite …” “Enough, 35 gold, that’s it.” Tie Zha raised his hand impatiently as if he was driving away mosquitoes.
“Thank you boss ~ Thank you ~” After finishing her sentence, Qin Ke’er straightened up and bit her lips as she smiled at Tie Zha. Then, she walked to the recruitment stage and began the recruitment process.
A moment later, Bai Xiaoyun hummed a tune and returned from the bathroom with a relaxed expression. Seeing him like that, Tie Zha became angry. He actually ran away at the critical moment. Then, she called him over and said that Qin Ke’er would be the logistics officer from now on. He was her assistant, so that’s all.
“Brother Tie, why … why?” Bai Xiaoyun cried out with a sad face. The logistics officer had only been on duty for less than ten minutes, and he had been dismissed from his post in the bathroom. This really made him suffer endlessly.
“Are you as careful as her? Are you as beautiful as her? You only carry plates for 10 gold a month, and she’s 20!” Tie Zha frowned and said.
“This … what does this have to do with carrying plates?” “Also, your monthly salary is 10 gold.” “Ah?” “Otherwise, you can recruit people.” “Ah ah ah …”
