"Show us around first."
Su Ye spoke.
"Of course. This way, please."
Balo led Su Ye inside, and they soon reached the main hall of the Talent Market.
The hall was exceptionally spacious. Huge virtual screens were embedded in its futuristic silver-white metal walls, constantly scrolling through densely packed talent information.
Rows of cylindrical recruitment terminals stood in the center of the hall.
Several players were browsing the terminals, all of them members of the Fivefold Race.
"Our talents here at the Talent Market are divided into three grades: low, intermediate, and high. Each grade represents a different level of ability."
Balo enthusiastically explained as they walked, "Low-grade talents can usually only handle basic manual labor, such as moving supplies or simple Vehicle cleaning. You only need to pay them a small amount of Survival Coins or food each month."
"Intermediate-grade talents have some specialized skills, such as basic mechanical repairs or basic medical care. They can be a useful aid on your journey of survival, but their prices are relatively high."
"As for high-grade talents, they are elites in their respective fields."
"Master mechanics, top fire-control experts, and even Alchemists capable of developing special potions."
"As long as you have sufficient funds, they can bring about a qualitative leap in your Vehicle's combat power."
As he spoke, Balo led Su Ye to a recruitment terminal.
"You can enter the kinds of talent you need. The system will make recommendations, and you can choose freely," the manager said.
Su Ye nodded and entered several keywords on the terminal's virtual keyboard, including "Beehive Hangar," "Drone Control," and "Fire-Control Computation." A large number of talent profiles immediately appeared on the screen.
Su Ye quickly scanned them.
