Chapter 202 Oh no, the dwarf boasts to Kyle
Lin Mo understood.
Extermination of a clan is not merely the annihilation of the physical body, but also the severance of its culture.
The mermaid race that once created a glorious civilization in the sea is indeed dead.
The merfolk before them were nothing more than "half-orcs" with merfolk blood.
Their culture, beliefs, and even self-perception have already taken on the form of half-orcs.
It's truly... a shell of its former self.
Lin Mo suppressed this feeling and began to calculate the total price based on the number of employees.
There are eight races of orcs in the daily life category, one male and one female, totaling sixteen.
Prices range from the lowest, the Minotaur Laborer, at 3 gold coins per month, to the highest, the Meizu, at 30 gold coins per month.
Meizu, with its outstanding appearance and versatility, is deeply loved by the noble lords of the Divine Human Race and is a frequent guest at banquets and private services.
The total rent for sixteen living-type orcs is two hundred gold coins per month.
The main event, however, is the security-related one.
Tier 1: 10 gold coins; Tier 2: 100 gold coins; Tier 3: 1000 gold coins; Tier 4: 10,000 gold coins; Tier 5: 100,000 gold coins; Tier 6: 1,000,000 gold coins; Tier 7: 10,000,000 gold coins.
One person for each rank, the total price is - 11,111,110 gold coins.
The total commission amount, including both items, is 11,111,310 gold coins.
Lin Mo looked up at Grom, who was looking on with anticipation.
"Chief Grom, we've made our choice."
He told the other party the type he had chosen, and then asked:
"The list says that employees need to pay a certain deposit. How much is that?"
If an employed orc suffers illness or disability during or at the end of his employment, he will receive a disability allowance.
In case of death, there is also a death benefit. To avoid disputes, a deposit must be paid in advance, and the settlement will be made from the deposit.
Grom's expectation vanished instantly upon hearing the total amount.
More than 11 million...
This number sounds like a lot, but compared to the 51 million on the dwarves' side, it's not even a fraction.
His heart sank, and his face was filled with disappointment.
"Is that all?"
He couldn't help but speak up, trying to persuade them:
"Mr. Lin Mo, would you like to consider renting it for a year?"
"It would be cheaper if you bought it for a year!"
"No need," Lin Mo shook his head and explained.
"Chief, this is our first time working together."
"We need time to assess the value of employing orcs."
After finishing speaking, Lin Mo looked into Grom's eyes and said:
"This is just the beginning."
"Rest assured, if the trial period goes well, the subsequent order volume will not disappoint you."
Lin Mo's words cheered Grom up a bit.
The man from Great Xia is right, this is just a trial run!
If they use them well, they will definitely hire a large number of employees in the future!
Thinking of this, Grom forced a smile back onto his face and nodded repeatedly.
"well!!"
He quickly composed himself and answered Lin Mo's question.
"The deposit is usually double the employee's commission and is used to cover potential medical, disability, and death benefits."
"But since this is our first time working together..."
Grom waved his hand generously and said:
"I'll round it up for you! The commission plus the deposit will come to a total of twenty million gold coins!"
"One month later, as long as there are no problems with the employed family members, we will refund the deposit in full."
Lin Mo and Zhao Gang exchanged a glance.
"No problem." Lin Mo nodded readily.
"make a deal."
"Great!" Grom slapped his thigh, feeling a weight lifted from his shoulders.
Although the order wasn't large, it was still a sale, and it was much more than the orders from the Holy Humans and Elves.
"Alright, we've finished discussing our procurement. Now, what are your procurement items?" Lin Mo asked, looking at the dwarves and orcs.
"I need to discuss this with my people. Don't worry, I'll give you an answer today," the dwarf said in a good mood.
Grom nodded in agreement.
With such a large sum of money, we really need to think carefully about how to spend it.
With the agreement finalized, Lin Mo breathed a long sigh of relief, and a smile finally appeared on his face.
A spatial ring, various runes, a large amount of "Zhengjin" and mithril as a room-temperature superconductor, as well as sixth and seventh-tier combat power that will soon arrive...
This transaction will be revolutionary for Great Xia.
The expeditionary force actually contributed only a few billion dollars worth of conventional equipment.
Blood earned!
Lin Mo glanced at the terminal on his wrist; it was almost noon.
He stood up and extended an invitation to Thorin and Grom, who were still excited.
"Hey you two, it's lunchtime. Shall we go to the cafeteria together?"
Thorin and Grom readily agreed.
……
On the way to the officers' mess hall, Lin Mo turned his head to look at Zhao Gang.
"Brother Zhao, the portal will close at 2 PM this afternoon. Please send the news of this transaction back in time."
"Then check if anything is missing."
"After this closure, the next time it opens will be the time for us to take over the territory and establish a permanent portal."
Zhao Gang laughed:
"Don't worry, everything is arranged."
Long Zhan suddenly spoke up.
"After the supplies are sorted out this afternoon, I plan for the army to set off early tomorrow morning."
"So rushed?" Lin Mo asked, puzzled.
Long Zhan nodded:
"There are only twenty days left until the date of the US military exercise."
Lin Mo felt a chill run down his spine.
Indeed, the situation on Earth is equally tense. The US military exercise this time is aggressive, and no one can predict how it will ultimately turn out.
In the unlikely event of an unexpected major war, the supplies acquired by the expeditionary force might prove to be an unexpected asset.
Dwarven runic technology can strengthen and enhance the power of equipment.
Space rings enable rapid maneuverability of strategic weapons.
Even he himself, a half-baked sixth-order archmage, was enough to influence the outcome of a local war at crucial moments.
While I was thinking, we arrived at the officers' mess hall.
As soon as Lin Mo stepped inside, he saw Elder Mu Yu and Kyle getting their food at the buffet table.
He smiled and stepped forward to greet them:
"Elder Muyu, Teacher Kyle, what a coincidence."
Thorin followed behind and immediately spotted his old rival, Kyle.
His face, flushed with excitement, instantly filled with an exaggerated smile as he strode over.
"Hey! Your Excellency the Archbishop!"
Thorin's voice was loud and clear as a bell, and he slapped his breastplate hard with a dull thud.
Kyle was startled and turned around.
Thorin raised his chin, his nostrils almost pointing to the sky, stroked his large beard, and spoke with feigned distress.
"I just negotiated a big deal with Da Xia, 51 million gold coins! Sigh, this amount is too large, I don't even know which equipment to choose."
"Your Holy Human Race has traded with the Great Xia and has extensive experience. I would like to ask you for some advice. Do you have time?"
He said he was "asking for advice," but his smug demeanor clearly showed that he was showing off.
Kyle was taken aback.
The plate he was holding shook violently, spilling his favorite braised pork soup, but he seemed oblivious.
Fifty-one million gold coins?
