"Are you kidding me?" Xi Ye, across the meeting room, looked at the solemn-faced elder of the Losa Clan inside, and felt a strong urge to squeeze the head of the smiling headhunter next to him!
Judging by the old man's complexion, his cell aging was already very serious. Judging from the level of his life form, he had at most a hundred years to live, and he was missing his left hand and left foot. This kind of old cripple who looked like he was about to die wanted a million annual salary? Did they really think this Lord was a fool with too much money?
The Losa Clan was rich in Mecha Warriors, and was the strongest Mecha Warrior clan in the universe besides the Blade Clan and the Giant Spirit Clan. Moreover, the Losa Clan had a better reputation for external work than the other two clans. Judging from the racial bloodline alone, the other party should be very popular.
But it also depends on the person...
This kind of old fellow who was obviously planning to retire and coast along, and was also missing arms and legs, wanted a million annual salary... He really dared to ask for it!!
The headhunter seemed a little embarrassed, but still politely replied: "Respected Lord, this person's shortcomings are indeed very obvious. He is old, doesn't have much time left, has no potential for advancement, and requires the Lord to pay for a Hextech arm for him before joining..."
"What? He still wants a Hextech arm?" Xi Ye immediately laughed in anger: "Does he also want a Starry Sky Elf to warm his bed?"
What a joke, giving him a mechanical arm was already the height of benevolence and righteousness, a Hextech arm? The cheapest of those things cost hundreds of thousands, is this old fellow crazy?
"Cough..." The headhunter coughed softly and whispered back: "It is indeed a bit of a high demand, but it's actually worth the price!"
"Oh?" Xi Ye narrowed his eyes, but didn't continue to mock coldly. The other party was a professional headhunter from a large website, so if he said that, there must be a reason. So he quietly waited for the other party to continue.
Seeing that the other party had calmed down in an instant, the headhunter nodded secretly in his heart. Although this guy was a newbie, he had the demeanor that a Lord should have.
Thinking about it, he took out a detailed profile of the old man and handed it to Xi Ye, and said slowly: "This person is called Robert. Kelsding. Losa! He was a Mecha Warrior in the Deathwing Legion under the former Third Lord Hanjue, and I heard he was also a squad leader!"
"Deathwing?" Xi Ye's expression under his helmet was full of astonishment. He had heard of this mecha team. It was the ace mecha legion under Lord Hanjue. Although Lord Hanjue was world-renowned for his Titan Legion, he was also one of the strongest Lords in the Federation, so the strongest mecha legion under his command was naturally not comparable to ordinary great Lords.
But although Hanjue was awesome, he had been destroyed tens of thousands of years ago. Wasn't Deathwing annihilated by that one long ago?
Xi Ye raised his doubts.
"Of course it's not the main force..." The headhunter explained with a smile: "He was a mecha soldier squad leader stationed on a certain sub-star system. You also know that a force as large as Lord Hanjue's, even if it is destroyed, is still like a centipede that dies but does not fall. Just the star fields under his command are enough to slowly conquer!"
"That's true..." Xi Ye nodded, but then he reacted: "You said this is a remnant of Hanjue? Are you crazy, you dare to recommend this kind of person to me?"
Xi Ye was so frightened that he didn't even dare to say 'this Lord'. Nowadays, in the Federation, the most prominent is the newly promoted Third Lord: Cang Yue.
The Federation's recognized God of War, who dares to take in the remnants she is crusading against? Is this headhunter out of his mind? Isn't it good to be alive?
"Of course it's not what you think!" The headhunter explained with a wry smile.
Just kidding, although their Talent Network was an industry under the First Lord, it was only under him, how dare they offend the currently prominent God of War?
"This person has already served 14,000 years under Lord Cang Yue, and is now free. He hasn't been out of prison for long, so that's why you see him like this now."
"I see..."
In that case, judging from his resume, this person's asking price is really not high.
However, it is actually very difficult for this type of person to find a job. Just like programmers on Planet D, after a certain age, if they become unemployed, it becomes very troublesome to find a job again, because the price cannot be lowered, and his own cost performance is not so good for many bosses.
Without room for improvement, with only a hundred years of life left, normal Lords have mature mecha training systems and do not need an outsider with such a beautiful resume to intervene, and there are many shortcomings. Moreover, for novice Lords, most cannot afford this annual salary.
Even if they can afford it, it would seem very wasteful, because it does sound too extravagant to use such a good instructor for newly developed indigenous people.
But Xi Ye was different. Those under his command were all golden talents with unlimited potential, and no amount of money spent on education would be too much.
Overall, he suddenly found that this old man with broken arms and legs was quite suitable for him.
"If you don't think it's suitable, we have other recommendations!" The headhunter quickly took out two other profiles.
These were the two Mecha Instructors that were arranged when Xi Ye was notified to come over. One was a Florumia People who graduated from a prestigious school, but was publicly dismissed by a major power due to some bad behavior. The other had lower qualifications, graduating from a second-tier Mecha Academy, with many years of teaching experience, but was persuaded to leave by the power that originally hired him because he was slacking off and hadn't been promoted for many years.
To be honest, if it weren't for the current example, these two people would probably be the best Mecha Instructors that Xi Ye's power could hire, right?
These two were still somewhat aware of their own worth, and their prices weren't too high, with an annual salary of 200,000, which is already very cheap for this industry.
However, everything pales in comparison. With the gem that came before, Xi Ye found these two piles of rotten Excrement increasingly displeasing.
Finally, he sighed, put the two sets of documents aside, and walked towards the meeting room where the old man with missing limbs was.
The headhunter behind him saw this and his eyes lit up, quickly following. In his heart, he also hoped to facilitate this deal. Headhunter intermediary fees are based on half of the annual salary as a commission. It was obvious which side he would rather earn, 50,000 or 500,000.
Xi Ye approached the meeting room, and the old man inside slowly stood up and gave a Federation standard military salute.
His attitude was neither arrogant nor humble, neither looking down on a novice Lord because he had once been in a top power, nor appearing too servile because of a high salary.
This aura... Xi Ye had only seen it in some of the old people in his family, and a trace of respect flashed in his eyes.
After the collapse of Hanjue's power, the news spread throughout the universe at the first moment. Most people declared their withdrawal from Hanjue's power after confirming the news. After all, the boss had fallen, and there was no issue of breach of contract or disloyalty.
But those who can continue to defend the land left by that Lord are definitely worthy of respect. This is also why the bloodthirsty Cang Yue did not choose to kill them all, but instead recruited these veterans after defeating them!
The information said that this old man was unwilling to submit to the former Lord's enemies, so he was sentenced to 14,000 years in prison.
In short, he's a good man!
Facing this kind of person, Xi Ye didn't plan to say anything insincere, but directly asked, "Your request requires Hextech mechanical arm surgery and transplantation, and you stated that it is a necessary condition. Can I ask why?"
