Expensive Talent Network

Equipment and accommodation were settled, and what remained was the introduction of raw materials and talent. Xi Ye and that treacherous goblin didn't argue much about the raw materials, after all, there were standard prices for this stuff on the market. Since it was a collaboration, it was definitely necessary to sell to Xi Ye at a price lower than the market price.

Moreover, the quality had to be guaranteed. After all, it was a long-term collaboration. Gouging prices was one thing, but if the quality of the goods sold was not good, it would be a matter of reputation. High-end goblins wouldn't make such mistakes.

After careful calculation, Xi Ye purchased nearly a billion worth of various raw materials, including what the goblin called Black Mu Gold!

Finally, what remained was the introduction of talent. In addition to the mold electromechanical talent exclusive to Wine Immortal and the others, Xi Ye also planned to hire some more from the talent market.

The base was developing rapidly, and he believed that the number of miners would soon reach saturation. At this time, it would be necessary to train some more high-end talents, and to train high-end talents, basic instructors were essential!

There were mainly three races in the base now. Xi Ye didn't plan to start cultivating other race series for the time being, so he planned to recruit some excellent instructors for these three races first.

The Hulk's evolutionary path was relatively simple, basically following the warrior route. This was very similar to the Thunder Clan. There were many detailed warrior branches, but they were mainly divided into three categories. The first was the weapon master, who paid more attention to skills and specialized in weapon types. The second was the berserker, who relied more on his own strength. What he wanted to hire were mainly the first two types. As for the third type, the Rune Warrior, this was generally a path that could only be taken with special bloodline power. The Bronze Clan and the Thunder Clan belonged to this category. Of course, there was also the Rune Clan, which specialized in this aspect. The Green Titan was not in this category.

So, it was enough to hire a few mainstream specialized warrior instructors.

On the contrary, there were too many evolutionary paths that Developers could take. Developers could basically take any mental-based profession, but Xi Ye couldn't afford such a huge and complex professional system right now. He originally only planned to introduce some pure scientific research instructors to conduct scientific research education for the Developers.

But now the public sentiment seemed to be a bit off. Those Developers didn't seem to be very interested in pure scientific research things, and always wanted to go out and mine. They were simply hopeless.

Judging from the previous performance of Grandpa Lu and the other followers, they seemed to be very interested in the profession of mecha control, and seemed to be full of yearning for the profession of mage. Looking at it this way, he seemed to have to invite some instructors in this area to stimulate the enthusiasm of these Developers.

Otherwise, when that damn Grandpa Lu posted another post, I'm afraid even fewer new citizens would choose to be Developers!

The serious shortage of Developers was also a difficult problem facing the base!

Finally, the evolution of the Wood Elves would be more troublesome. The Elf race was a large race in the universe. As a branch of the Elves, and with ancient bloodlines, the Wood Elves needed to find professional Elf instructors for their evolution. As far as Xi Ye knew, these arrogant guys generally charged extremely high prices, and were picky about the environment. It seemed that his Mars might not be able to recruit them!

After thinking it over and over, Xi Ye decided to register at the talent market first!

So, after he went back, he opened the virtual network alone in his room, and entered the Federation talent market with his exclusive lord account.

"Respected Lord, are you here to register for recruitment?" As soon as he entered the talent network, a customer service representative greeted him warmly.

Xi Ye entered the network from the IP of Proxima Star. Most of those who could afford to visit this market were rich dalao, so the talent network arranged a one-on-one service for him as soon as possible.

"Yes..." Xi Ye nodded coolly: "The base has just developed and needs a group of excellent instructors to teach race professional skills. Please introduce me."

"Okay, I'll help you fill out the information." The customer service representative said, taking out a beautifully made form.

"What is the name of the force?"

"Aierdia Star System!" Xi Ye thought for a while, and finally decided to use the family name, after all, everything he had was exchanged for with the blood and flesh of the family.

Aierdia? The customer service representative was stunned. He thought to himself that the most famous Aierdia surname was the Thunder Warrior family, right? When did that family have a lord?

"How much registration fee are you planning to pay?"

Xi Ye was stunned. As a boss who was registering on the talent network for the first time, he was a little surprised and said: "Do I still need to pay a registration fee? Isn't there an intermediary fee?"

"Of course." The customer service representative smiled politely: "We are a professional talent website. We must not only be responsible to you lords, but also to those who are looking for jobs online. Paying the registration fee is to confirm your financial strength so that we can recommend talents that match your strength!"

Seeing Xi Ye hesitating, the customer service representative continued: "Moreover, the registration fee is only deposited into our talent network in the form of a deposit. You can withdraw it at any time when you need it urgently."

"Then... then I'll pay five million first as a token of my appreciation." Xi Ye said unwillingly.

Five million?

The customer service representative's smile froze, and then he continued to smile politely: "Respected Lord, it is very difficult to recruit excellent talents with a deposit of five million. Some people from formal families will definitely not believe that following you has a future when they see your poor registration fee, right?"

Xi Ye: "..."

"Moreover, esteemed customer, being able to spend in Proxima Star on your first return trip means you're definitely not the kind of wretched Black Goblin loser lord, right?"

Xi Ye: "Naturally not!"

"That's the spirit!" The customer service representative said with a smile, "Esteemed customer, one look at you and it's clear you're a lord with a bright future. To be so generous on your first return, you must have had extraordinary encounters. Surely you're looking to recruit well-bred family members with legitimate backgrounds, aren't you? You certainly wouldn't feel comfortable using people with dubious backgrounds, would you?"

Xi Ye was momentarily stunned. Although he knew the other party was trying to rip him off, he couldn't find a way to refute it.

Back in the Heavenly God Academy, his teacher had taught him that when hiring employees, it's best to choose well-bred family members, because job seekers with unknown backgrounds are unreliable!

This is a consensus in the Federation. Almost all experienced lords, apart from the citizens they develop themselves, prioritize recruiting well-bred family members. For example, Xi Ye's own Eldia Family has an excellent reputation in the Federation. For countless years, there have never been any despicable instances of betrayal, leaking secrets, or the like!

Because as a family member, doing so would tarnish the family's reputation. Before the lord even bothers to deal with you, the entire family would be the first to jump out and clean house. And the lord who hired you to do such espionage would face a complete boycott from the family, even to the point of allied families refusing to send talent and recalling all their members working within that lord's sphere of influence!

There was once a lord who did just that, and subsequently lost a large portion of his elite forces, causing his own power to plummet several levels, eventually being annexed by his rival!

Therefore, in the Federation, although families rely on lords to provide jobs, they still have a certain degree of restraint when working for them.

That's why many great lords spend a lot of financial and material resources to cultivate local gene families, gradually breaking free from the constraints of other families. Of course, that's a story for later. For new lords just entering the field, they are more comfortable recruiting family members, and the more established the family, the more popular its members are.

"Then how much do you suggest is appropriate?" Xi Ye asked.

The customer service representative smiled and said, "You're a new lord, so you definitely need a lot of funds to build your base. You can't focus on one thing and neglect another. In my opinion, how about paying ten billion? This will demonstrate your force's financial strength without putting a strain on your funds."

Xi Ye gasped when he heard this. The words sounded quite considerate, but why did the number feel so wrong?

"One hundred million! That's my bottom line!!" Xi Ye said firmly, "If you still can't find me well-bred family members with good backgrounds, then I'll have to go to other talent websites!"
