Chapter 3: Is something wrong with running a shady mine in Terra?
"During his prime, Shengzhu was an incredibly powerful demon, but now his divine power has been split into Talismans, and he's just a statue that can breathe a bit of fire."
"So, why not just send his statue to a place where he absolutely cannot contact hell?"
Luo Su said.
Valon's eyes lit up instantly.
That's right.
The troublesome thing about that old dragon thief Shengzhu is that he can return from hell even after being blown up, and then he uses his intelligence to acquire various magical items for revenge.
Since that's the case, why not just sink it to the bottom of the ocean in Another World!
That way, he could get rid of that old dragon thief, seek other supernatural powers, and continue robbing banks!
Valon was so excited he almost shouted!
"Oh, my man, I love you to death."
"Once I deal with that old dragon thief, I'll take you to Manhattan to look at houses."
Valon bid farewell to Luo Su, then hurriedly went offline.
[My man, you're a little genius. Since Shengzhu will make a comeback if he encounters hell, then just make sure he never comes into contact with hell in this lifetime.]
[Valon's favorability towards you has increased. As long as you give him enough money, you can have this guy help you collect a complete set of Shadow Masks.]
[Those are laborers from nine tribes; they will work twenty-four hours a day without needing watermelons or juice.]
The prompter was still chattering away.
Luo Su was very tempted.
But, he fumbled in his wallet, which was unbelievably thin.
No money.
Valon is a character who would stab Shengzhu twice for money. Trying to discuss anything with him without money might result in him taking your kidney.
Of course, he could also go look for them himself.
However, before that, he still had other matters to resolve.
For example—
Establishing his own mining company!
He was still heavily in debt. If he didn't quickly mine things to pay off his debts, he would soon be sent to Saint Junta Fortress to play happy ball with a Sugar momma!
Without any hesitation, Luo Su sent employment requests to all the remaining members in the Chat Group.
"Everyone, I have established a mining company. Do you have any interest in investing?"
"???"
Uzumaki Naruto scratched his head.
His thoughts were still stuck on Luo Su and Valon colluding to scheme against Shengzhu.
Suddenly, from stabbing a demon in the back to establishing a mining company… Honestly, Naruto's CPU couldn't keep up.
"Our worldviews are different. Who would understand what you're saying?"
Hui Hui was also a bit annoyed.
Excluding the settings of gods, demons, and magic, her world was still in the simple Middle Ages, where there was no such thing as investing.
"I don't understand company operations."
Miss Orca sat in the mercenary hall, looking at the Chat Group members who seemed to be recruiting, with a troubled expression.
She was very interested in Luo Su.
It wasn't a romantic interest; it was mainly because Luo Su's avatar was a guy hanging himself, and the background of the hanging was Saint Junta Fortress.
Saint Junta Fortress is the capital of the Ursus Empire.
Luo Su and Ursus clearly had a significant connection.
Although Ursus and Miss Orca's hometown—Aegir—were tens of thousands of miles apart, in a special area like the Chat Group where members are generally not from the same world, meeting someone from the same world was quite a joyous occasion.
If possible, she would really like to help Luo Su.
After all, they could be considered half-compatriots.
However, she was truly clueless about business—she knew nothing at all—and was genuinely unable to help.
"Mr. Luo Su is… starting a company?"
The only one who could keep up was the cook, Raiden Mei. She received a standard young lady's education and understood various business practices.
"Yes, due to various reasons, my assets were severely impacted. Now I need to reorganize these assets, convert them into high-quality assets, and develop them."
"If possible, I would like to exchange information for some support from everyone, whether it's technical support or material support."
A very frank statement, with clear objectives and interests.
"Of course, no problem, as long as Brother Luo Su is willing to tell me Sasuke's whereabouts!"
In Konoha Village, Uzumaki Naruto patted his chest and readily agreed.
Even without intelligence support, he would actually be very happy to help.
Let alone sending news about Sasuke?
This young man, who had never seen the hell of civil engineering, had a cheerful expression, like Kennedy in a convertible.
"As for me, I hope to learn some things about my father."
Raiden Mei also couldn't escape the temptation of the script and chose to join.
She had no interest in her own future, but she missed her father very much and wanted to know how he was doing now.
"If you need me, just call me. As for the exchange… there's no need to be so formal…"
"But remember, don't get too close to me."
Skadi gave her answer.
She walked alone on this land, but she wasn't born loving solitude.
It's just that her appearance always seemed to bring disaster to those around her. Currently, only those she knew through the Chat Group were unaffected because they were simply too far away.
She valued the people in this group very much.
Skadi, what a good woman!!
Luo Su instantly teared up.
Because she wanted to help a friend, she helped, without expecting anything in return.
In stark contrast to Skadi was Hui Hui.
"Hmm~, I don't want information, I want lots and lots of food. Oh no, I want a stable position."
Hui Hui's answer was distinctly different from the other Chat Group members.
She had no interest in information.
Her village had excellent fortune-tellers; if she really wanted to know the future, she could ask them.
For her, getting a meal was far more important than any trivial information.
However, perhaps recalling some past experiences, she quickly added another condition.
"A labor contract must be signed. No arbitrarily kicking people out of the team."
After doing all this, she nervously stared at Valon's avatar, afraid that the collector of 臥龍鳳雛 would suddenly come online and complain to Luo Su about his tragic employment experience.
"…"
A polite but awkward expression flashed across Luo Su's face.
Ah… does he really want to recruit this guy?
It feels like signing with this good-for-nothing would be a loss… Since he already has the Dragon Talisman, he probably doesn't need this one-time cluster bomb anymore.
[Please don't hesitate. This guy can be used as a one-time nuclear warhead. You should know, she is an expert in demolition, and her output efficiency with the Dragon Talisman is far higher than yours!]
[Besides, if you go to the construction site to lay concrete, who will take care of the beast-eared girls in the club?]
Luo Su was filled with awe.
It is said that a single word from the system is like seeing the sun after the clouds part, a sudden enlightenment.
He absolutely must take Hui Hui!
"Of course, you can sign a contract. You can sign for as long as you want."
Luo Su's words made a certain crimson mage's eyes gleam.
A long-term meal ticket delivered right to her door!
Then I won't be polite!
Looking at the contract delivered via red packet, it stated nine to five, weekends off, food and lodging included, and even allowed three family members to eat and drink for free.
Holy crap!!
There's actually such a generous job?!!
Without hesitation, Hui Hui signed for a hundred years, then quickly sent it to Luo Su.
After doing all this, she put her hands on her hips, wishing she could laugh up to the sky.
So numb, so numb.
Winning so hard!!
Looking at the contract Hui Hui sent, Luo Su also showed the expression of Qin Shi Huang touching a power line—winning so hard.
On that contract, the salary column read 3—8000.
Hmm, three to eight thousand.
