That Kid's Backing Is Not Simple

"Why?" The old man grinned, "Of course, it's because I want to live!!"

Xi Ye nodded upon hearing this, then said to the other party, "This Lord is willing to accept the demands you've made. Are you willing to accept this employment?"

Huh?

It's settled just like that?

The Headhunter who followed was stunned, feeling a bit incredulous. There wasn't even any haggling?

The old man naturally nodded happily. Under the Headhunter's witness, the two signed the agreement very pleasantly. Even after Xi Ye and the Old Mecha Master logged off, the Headhunter in charge of the signing still felt it was too smooth.

A colleague helping him pack up saw his expression and smiled, "What's wrong? You closed a big deal and you still have that look on your face?"

"I don't quite understand..." The young Headhunter scratched his head embarrassedly and laughed, "Why would that Lord ask such a question, and then sign the contract decisively after hearing that kind of answer? I feel like this deal was made somewhat inexplicably..."

The colleague next to him, who was obviously older, shook his head with a smile upon hearing this, "For us salespeople, no deal is made inexplicably. Today's deal seems smooth, but that's because we matched well enough. Take a closer look at that Lord's information. As a new Lord, he can come up with a 1 billion deposit, and the transaction volume has been close to 5 billion in just a few days. What does this prove? It proves that this Lord is not only rich, but also willing to spend money on initial construction. Only such a Lord is most likely to choose that Old Armor Master just now!"

"Then what's the reason for asking about Hex?" the newbie asked curiously.

The old colleague rolled his eyes at him, "This is because your professional courses aren't solid enough. I ask you, what are the advantages of Hex prosthetics compared to other mechanical prosthetic mechanical products?"

The newbie was stunned, and said cautiously, "Low infection? High value retention? Seamless nerve connection?"

"The better mechanical products you mentioned can do all of these, but why is the price less than one-tenth of Hex machinery?"

The newbie subconsciously said, "That's of course because of its evolutionary ability... uh..." Saying this, the newbie was stunned, as if he had thought of something.

The old colleague next to him smiled when he saw this, "Thought of it? It's the evolutionary ability. Once an ordinary mechanical arm is installed, the nerves in that position cannot continue to be trained. They will be fixed for life. Inferior products may even infect metal toxins, causing nerve degeneration, but Hex is different. The high-imitation humanoid technology allows people who install Hex to continue to train and continue to improve themselves!"

"He... he's already in that situation, and he still wants to go further?" The newbie was immediately a little incredulous.

"This is the reason why that Lord finally decided to hire him!" The old man's expression turned serious, "No one likes an employee who gives up on the future and just wants to coast by. That old man only has a hundred years of life left, but he still wants to continue to move forward and try again. Maybe in your opinion, the chances can be said to be slim, but that kind of heart, the heart that wants to pursue evolution and live longer, is the reason why that Lord finally made up his mind to hire him!"

After a pause, he added, "This is also why I deliberately asked you to mention the other party's Hex requirements. As a Headhunter, grasping the psychological needs of the Lord and the job seeker is a basic skill, and it is also the biggest bargaining chip for promoting success. You were able to care about the reason for the successful transaction in the first time after the transaction was successful, instead of just thinking about this commission. I am very pleased. Continue to work hard, newbie, you will become an excellent Headhunter."

The newbie's expression lifted upon hearing this, and he saluted with respect, "Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

"By the way, increase the potential level of this Lord to B-level, and provide better talent channels. This person is not only lucky, but also meets the characteristics of an excellent Lord in terms of decision-making and performance. As long as there are no accidents, he should be a long-term cooperative gold master. You continue to follow up on his situation."

"Yes, senior!"

"What... what's going on?" Xi Ye, who had just been praised by the Headhunter, logged off and looked at the pile of plates on the table and Da Bao's embarrassed, shy smile with a dumbfounded expression.

A bad feeling suddenly rose in Xi Ye's heart.

"Hello, guest, the total is 408,671 God Coins. Would you like to swipe your card or pay in cash? If it's online payment, our store only accepts Federation Cloud Payment. We don't accept Ant Financial or Tencent Super-Message!"

"Four... four hundred thousand?" Xi Ye was so shocked by the price that he almost bit his tongue.

"Yes!" The clerk said with a smile, "The Panda Man you ordered are all the best dishes in our store. The ingredients are taken from the best ingredients in various advanced star systems, including the meat of fifth-level Star Beasts and fourth-level rare fruits and vegetables. Our store has official Federation appraisals for both the origin and quality of the ingredients. Our store also has the Federation market price for the corresponding ingredients, and we are definitely not trying to rip you off!"

Xi Ye choked. The other party spoke so professionally and impeccably that he couldn't say a word in rebuttal. Then, he glared fiercely at Da Bao, "You really dare to order!"

"It's really... too delicious..." Da Bao smiled embarrassedly, "I originally just wanted to order a plate to try it out, but I didn't expect to be unable to stop. I'm sorry, Lord, deduct this money from my salary later, okay?"

"Salary?" Xi Ye looked at him faintly, "Who told you that you have a salary?"

"Lord... I'm still a virgin, not a slave. I can complain about you treating me like this!" Da Bao quickly said.

How did this kind of weirdo survive until now?

Ugh, headache...

"This Lord looks unfamiliar. I haven't seen you around much. You must be a newly ascended Lord, right?" Just as Xi Ye was speechless, the owner suddenly asked with a smile, bending at the waist.

Xi Ye was taken aback, then looked over. Only after a closer look did he realize that the owner, though chubby, had two fleshy whiskers like a fish. He then realized that this shop owner was actually a demon.

Moreover, he was from the Tamu clan near the Abyss. This clan didn't have a good reputation. In their eyes, it seemed anything could be made into food, even intelligent life!

Thinking of this, Xi Ye looked at the leftover sauce on the plate and suddenly felt an uncomfortable sense of nausea.

Seeing Xi Ye looking at the dishes, the shop owner immediately explained with a smile, "Honored guest, rest assured, we are a legitimate restaurant. To operate on Proxima Star, we wouldn't use those crooked methods."

Xi Ye was silent, not saying anything. Your race is the crooked method.

"Respected Lord..." Facing Xi Ye's indifference, the shop owner didn't mind, smilingly saying, "How about we talk business? As a sign of sincerity, I'll waive the bill for this meal!"

"Not interested... Bring the card reader!" Xi Ye replied directly. Doing business with Goblins might only result in getting scammed out of some money, but doing business with demons could cost you your life!

"Don't be so quick to refuse..." The shop owner still smiled, looking amiable. But unlike before, the shop owner's ordinary aura suddenly changed drastically. An extremely terrifying pressure made the surrounding space stagnate. Xi Ye even felt that he couldn't breathe normally for that second!

"We just want to cultivate some fresh ingredients. If you, Lord, are willing to allocate a farm in your newly established territory to provide us with ingredients regularly, as long as the supply is stable, we will give you a generous return of twenty billion God Coins per year. Moreover, we will be responsible for all initial construction costs. What do you think?"

A level fifteen demon Tamu!

And starting with a twenty billion deal a year!

Under his helmet, Xi Ye's purple eyes flickered, thinking: This is definitely not a normal snack bar!

His own grandfather, Longjue, was only a level fifteen lifeform, yet he was already a pillar of a large family, an Interstellar commander under a great Lord. For someone of that level to be running a restaurant? Thinking about it, there must be a big problem!

Saying it's for ingredients, Xi Ye was 100% sure he wanted him to raise some kind of prohibited creature!

Once he agreed, although he might gain short-term profits, he would inevitably be controlled by others in the future. If the Federation found out, he would be finished!

His development momentum was good right now, and he had a group of natives with such extraordinary potential. How could he possibly embark on this path of no return?

Thinking of this, Xi Ye sneered, fearlessly looking at the other party, and said coldly, "What? If this Lord doesn't do this business, will I not be able to leave this door today?"

Hearing this, a fierce glint flashed in the shop owner's narrowed eyes, but in the end, he didn't dare to be so insane as to openly kill a Celestial God Lord in this territory. After a few seconds of confrontation, he retracted his aura and smiled, "You're exaggerating, Lord!"

"Hmph!" Xi Ye snorted coldly, not giving the other party any chance, and said directly, "Then let's settle the bill!"

The shop owner's smile froze for a moment, but in the end, he didn't say anything. He gave a wink to a subordinate behind him, who nodded and quickly brought a card reader from the back.

After Xi Ye and Da Bao left, the shop owner looked at their backs with a sinister gaze, his eyes flickering, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Boss, why are you so persistent with this newbie? This kid doesn't seem to be on our side at all, right?" the subordinate asked curiously.

"Don't judge everything by appearances!" The shop owner sneered, "I smelled... the scent of the Void on this kid. He's got guts, even doing business with the Void. Since that's the case, he definitely won't dislike our business. Go check, what's this kid's background!"

"Okay!" As soon as the subordinate responded, suddenly, a faint voice came, "What do you want to check?"

Hearing this voice, the shop owner was instantly shocked. Someone had gotten so close without him, a demon with half a foot into the Dragon Rank, even reacting at all. What was this person's background?

He quickly turned his head and saw an extremely beautiful face, and the refreshing scent of flowers...

"Flower Spirit?" The shopkeeper swallowed, his face looking somewhat blank.

If it were a profession like Assassin or Shadow Walker, it would be understandable, but for a Flower Spirit to achieve this level, it can only be said that there is a dimensional gap between them!

"Senior... misunderstanding..."

Today, he probably ran into a tough customer; that kid's backing isn't simple
