Chapter 81 Human Power
Chapter 81 Human Power
After a brief introduction to Flanders, Leng Xiyao asked him to find a group of professional blacksmiths and villagers willing to help with the assembly. Flanders naturally would not refuse and went there with a pat on his chest.
Leng Xiyao was extremely confident in Flanders' work. After assembling several high-end samples and taking them away, Leng Xiyao went out. In addition, she also made about ten revolvers. However, she would not mass-produce small and powerful firearms such as pistols after being enhanced. She only made them for her relatives and friends to use for self-defense.
However, having a bunch of good products is not enough. The current priority is how to promote them, build their reputation, and let others know that these are good products.
Leng Xiyao attaches great importance to this arms business, even more than her own industry in Xingdou Town.
After all, the industry in Xingdou Town is the product of the joint creation of various forces. Although she is the leader of it, she does not have much power except for dividing the money.
Therefore, she needs to form a new force. In addition to conducting business activities, this force will also recruit a large number of members to help her infiltrate the human world and solve the problem that she is now completely in the dark and has no channels to obtain information except from rumors and tabloids.
Merchants are undoubtedly the most widely circulated group in the world, so many spy organizations today are hiding under the guise of chambers of commerce, obtaining intelligence from various forces through various transactions. However, in order to obtain valuable intelligence, first of all, this force must be presentable and have power that cannot be underestimated, otherwise it would be better to rob it directly.
Thinking of this, Leng Xiyao had an idea in his mind. He summoned a flying sword, and turned into a beam of light, heading towards the direction of Soto City.
There are slums in cities everywhere in the world, and Soto City is no exception.
Those who can live in the slums are all mortals who have been poor for generations and are homeless and can only live here. If there is a soul master in the family, even if he is only at level ten, he will not live in such a place.
There is no shortage of treacherous villains here, some are gamblers who have lost everything, some are villains who come here to avoid the limelight, and some are criminals who are restricted and cannot leave here. The truly poor people can only suffer from the oppression of these people in the process of struggling to survive.
In short, this is the most chaotic area in the entire city, no doubt about it.
This is the destination chosen by Leng Xiyao. She wants to recruit some strong-willed children from mortal families here.
As someone who came from the slums, Leng Xiyao knew very well that there were only two extremes for children who grew up in such places. One was to degenerate and become a gangster, making a living by bullying ordinary people, while the other was to be strong-willed and would rather die than associate with those evil forces. However, the endings of such people were generally tragic, and most of them ended up with their entire family being killed.
But there are never a few people willing to resist, not to mention that Leng Xiyao's requirements are not high. In this huge slum that accommodates tens of thousands of people, it would be enough for her to recruit ten such children.
Older people, on the contrary, have little value in training. It is better to train children around twelve or thirteen years old. Children who grew up in slums have intelligence far superior to that of ordinary people. It can be said that except for not having the talent to cultivate martial spirits, these are all good seedlings.
Leng Xiyao has always been a person who does whatever she thinks of, so she simply found an intersection with the heaviest traffic in the area and set up a stall.
I don't know where she got a big sign from, but she put it in front of her. It read:
"Recruiting Chamber of Commerce bodyguards, no restrictions on talent or gender."
"Requirements: hardworking, obedient, willing to work hard, aged between twelve and fifteen, minimum employment period: five years."
"Salary benefits: Food and accommodation included, starting from 20 gold soul coins per month, five insurances and one fund, salary based on length of service."
To be honest, Leng Xiyao made a template based on the most attractive salary package in her previous life. The purchasing power of these twenty gold soul coins is quite high, almost tens of thousands of yuan.
The people passing by were stunned at first when they saw Leng Xiyao, the fairy-like little girl sitting here, but after seeing what was written on the board next to her, they were shocked beyond words.
Twenty gold soul coins to hire a child with no talent, isn't this ridiculous?
But regardless of whether it was a joke or not, anyone who could afford this price must have some powerful force behind him. No one who could survive in this area was a fool, so after a brief thought, no one dared to cause trouble.
"Are all the people here so cowardly?" Leng Xiyao looked at the people around her who were about to surround her and kidnap her, but in the end they did not dare to do anything. She was left helplessly, a little confused.
She actually hoped that a few blind people would come and cause trouble, so that she could naturally teach these villains a lesson, and maybe attract some bullied children to sign up.
This was indeed the case. Almost no one believed that the conditions Leng Xiyao had put forward were true. However, there were a few passers-by who looked like human traffickers who walked by and stared at Leng Xiyao's stall in amazement. As they passed by, they left a comment "What era is this? Why are you still using this kind of trafficking method?", which made Leng Xiyao feel a little amused.
A few hours passed in the blink of an eye, and it was getting dark. Leng Xiyao sighed, packed up the stall, and had to go back to the academy to make other plans.
It would be easy to recruit people through formal channels, but those recruited in this way can only be regarded as mercenaries, that is, they are paid to do things, and they dare not even hand over some important matters to others.
All true personal guards are trained by the leader himself. In the royal family, these guards grew up with the crown prince, so it will be natural for them to be used very easily in the future.
Unfortunately, she probably won’t be able to recruit anyone.
Just as Leng Xiyao was about to leave, a sarcastic voice suddenly came from behind: "Hey, whose little sister is this? She looks so pretty. Are you interested in spending a wonderful night with me, your brother?"
Leng Xiyao was happy when she heard this. She was not afraid of the old pervert coming to her house, but she was afraid that there would be no pervert to serve as a stepping stone for her.
Turning around, Leng Xiyao discovered that the other party was not just one person, but more than ten people, and their strength was low. The weakest was a great soul master, and the person who had just spoken was actually a fifty-sixth-level soul king.
Leng Xiyao restrained the smile on her face, turned around, put on a pitiful expression, took small steps towards the wretched man, and said in a soft tone:
"I hope this brother will have mercy on me~"
