Raine

"Did you see my requirements? Let me state upfront, I won't budge on the salary!" After a period of silence between the two, Zanda Anlier was the first to break it, stating his bottom line in the first sentence.

Xi Ye didn't haggle at all, nodding and saying, "That's not a problem. I understand your concerns about a new force. It's only natural that the salary should be higher. I've seen your profile. You're looking for a stable, settled job. Perhaps my planet isn't an ideal place to live just yet, but believe me, it definitely has a promising future!"

Zanda shook his head upon hearing this. "Every lord says that. I'm not one of those fresh-out-of-school kids. Painting me a pretty picture won't work. You'd better say something more practical."

Xi Ye paused for a moment, deciding to skip the fancy stuff and directly state the highest conditions he could offer.

"I can fully meet your requested annual salary and increments, and I will purchase Level Four Insurance and Housing Provident Fund for you as soon as possible. During your employment, you will only be responsible for teaching and guidance, without having to be involved in dangerous activities such as exploring star fields. Furthermore, in the event of external invaders, you can choose to retreat to my planet immediately. Is there anything else you would like to add?"

Zanda opened his mouth, but he couldn't find any fault with the conditions offered. Whether it was the salary or the nature of the work, it almost perfectly met his expectations, and the attitude was also very sincere, without the many probing negotiations like the Arena Boss. Although he was a newbie, he had the demeanor of a great lord.

The only drawback was probably the instability of being a new force.

"Excuse me for asking, but the information the headhunter gave me lists your surname as Eldia. Is that the Eldia Family of the Thunder Clan?"

"It is!" Xi Ye responded with a nod, his tone filled with confidence in the family's glory.

Zanda nodded, his expression softening a lot. People born as warriors like him have a much stronger sense of identity with warrior families than with other families. The Eldia Family's reputation in the Federation has always been very good. Negative news has rarely been heard over millions of years, which shows their good family traditions. A Celestial God who comes from such a family shouldn't be a prodigal son, right?

Thinking of this, he still asked doubtfully, "Excuse me for asking again, but why would you want to cultivate Green Titans? To be honest, although I also have Green Titan Bloodline, I also know that the cost-effectiveness of our bloodline is very low. Why don't you try to cultivate your own family's Thunder Bloodline with that money?"

Xi Ye's lips under the helmet twitched slightly upon hearing this. Just kidding... he was so poor at the beginning that he almost couldn't afford a Compression Cannon, so where would he get the money to buy Thunder Clan genes? As one of the most outstanding warrior races, the price of Thunder Clan genes in the Federation gene bank is even more expensive than that of ordinary High Elves due to their extremely high cost-effectiveness, okay?

With the abnormal tolerance of those players in his base, would he buy Thunder Genes for ten thousand God Coins each or Green Titan Genes for one God Coin and fifty cents each? Anyone could figure that out, okay?

But naturally, he couldn't reveal his biggest trump card, even if he hired these people. Xi Ye planned to hide the data in the base.

So Xi Ye smiled and said, "You will naturally understand this when you get to my place. It's a trade secret, so I'm sorry I can't reveal too much."

Zanda was stunned for a moment, then asked very straightforwardly, "Could it be that you found natives who have a very good compatibility with Green Titans?"

Xi Ye's expression froze. Although this guy didn't guess completely correctly, he guessed half of it. Was he not cautious enough in his performance? How could even such a straightforward Green Titan guess his situation?

Seeing Xi Ye's expression, Zanda revealed a look of realization, thinking to himself: If that's the case, then the other party's seemingly prodigal behavior can be explained!

The universe is vast and infinite, and there are indeed some natives who have a strange compatibility with certain ancient genes. Their Anlier Family is an example. The family has a very high compatibility with Titan-like bloodlines, with the excellent ones being as high as twenty percent!

The super-high Titan compatibility made their clan the trump card family under Vox Hanjue, the third lord of the Federation. But several eras ago, the rise of Blood Lord: Cang Yue directly destroyed Hanjue's forces. His clan also suffered heavy losses in that century-long war. Later, some surviving forces of the race banded together to keep warm, and the Four Titan Alliance was established in the Federation, with the Anlier Family as the leader.

Knowing the history of his family well, he understood what it meant for a Celestial God lord to have a group of natives with high compatibility. Hanjue was able to become the third lord because his Titan Legion accounted for more than half of the credit, but unfortunately... he met Cang Yue, who is now recognized as the God of War!

Thinking of this, he looked at Xi Ye with some anticipation. If this was the case, as long as this lord didn't have any accidents, it seemed that following him would be very promising.

Xi Ye looked at the other party's expectant eyes and thought to himself: Since he's already guessed it, I might as well admit it and increase the bargaining chips for recruitment. So he said ambiguously, "You could say that..."

"How much compatibility?" Zanda asked excitedly, "Five percent? Seven percent?" This was already a relatively high expectation in his mind.

"Sorry, I can't reveal that!" Xi Ye shook his head.

But Zanda still saw a trace of disdain in the other party's eyes, and he was stunned in his heart: "Could it be more than ten percent?"

My God!

This kid from the Eldia Family picked up a treasure trove!

Thinking of this, he finally made up his mind, stood up, and gave a warrior salute, "Zanda Anlier is willing to serve you!"

If he only had a 30% willingness before coming, at this time it could almost be said to be 100% satisfaction. Of course, he would not hesitate to follow such a promising lord.

As for the risk? Where is there no risk in joining any force? Even the Federation's Third Lord can fall, so which lord dares to say their power will last forever?

As long as the benefits gained are large enough, many people are willing to take some necessary risks!

In this life, one must gamble once or twice, right?

Seeing the other party's promise, Xi Ye also stood up with a smile, "Welcome to join. Believe me, this decision will definitely be the most correct choice of your life!"

While Xi Ye was wandering around, somewhere on Ziyao Star, a group of people were discussing Xi Ye's return.

Most of the disciples were not happy upon hearing this news, but instead looked disdainful!

After all, Xi Ye's tuition had put a great deal of pressure on the Eldia Family, causing many disciples to be unable to enjoy the resources they deserved. Naturally, they didn't have a good attitude towards Xi Ye now.

In addition, Raine's development momentum is good now, providing many cost-effective military positions for the family's disciples, leading to a higher degree of recognition for Raine among both the older and younger generations. They are obviously not interested in that suddenly emerging Celestial God!

"Do you think that guy will come back to the family to recruit people?"

"Recruit people? Who would go with him?" A large group of people around immediately said with disdain, "A broken level eight planet, would you go?"

"I wouldn't go..."

A group of people burst into laughter. At this moment, a rather thin child walked silently through the crowd. He seemed to have inherited the characteristics of the Thunder Clan, but his physique was unusually weak, and he also wore a pair of thick glasses, not looking like a warrior.

Seeing this person, many of the Eldia Family disciples who had been discussing just now showed mocking expressions. One of them deliberately raised his voice and said, "What if he rises up later? Going there now would make you a core member. If you wait until he rises up to lick his boots, he might not even look at us!"

"That's right!" The people around immediately chimed in, "Then why don't we flatter our little young master?"

The little boy lowered his head even further as he listened to the surrounding voices, his hands clenched tightly in his pockets, his fingernails digging deeply into his flesh!

"Hey, little young master, don't go!" Several people didn't give him a chance to slip away, and blocked him together in front, "Why are you walking so fast? We're discussing how to curry favor with you. The young master can't stand us collateral disciples, can he?"

"Get out of the way!" The little boy said in an icy tone.

"Oh, how scary!" The leading person raised an eyebrow, "What if I don't?"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. No one around came up to dissuade them, all with expressions of watching the fun. A trace of cold light flashed in the little boy's eyes, and just as he was about to make a move, a deep voice suddenly rang out, "What are you doing?"

Everyone was stunned. After hearing this voice, the mocking expressions on their faces suddenly disappeared, and they reflexively saluted in that direction, "Hello, Commander!"

The person who came was an extremely mighty Thunder Warrior. Almost no one would doubt his profession, because that heavy and mighty aura could not be cultivated by any other profession!

"I've said it all, at home, call me brother!" The man said with a straight face.

Everyone immediately showed a smile, a sincere smile, without the slightest bit of falsehood. Now, the only one who can have such prestige among the younger generation of the Eldia Family is Raine!

"Yo, Xiao Chen, school's out?"

Facing the child who had just been targeted, Raine showed a gentle smile like a big brother next door.
