Chapter 143 – Wait For My Return (2/2)
……
“Pa!”
The notice was to be placed on the electrical pole but Old K took a look and said in a low voice, “Not good, someone beat us to it….”
“What happened?”
“You guys take a look?”
Under the moonlight, everyone leaned in. There was already a flyer asking for a new member for a studio on the electric pole. The other studio had definitely spent some money on their flyer. It was machine copied and much more professional than our hand written ones.
Hiring a new studio member for Crimson Contract Studio for < >. GuildMaster Han Bei Song is already close to Lv 50. He has unfathomable strength, is a very affable person (only with pretty girls). Crimson Contract Studio is located on West Lake District’s Wen Third Road. Looking for all kinds of talented people: DPS, MT, and Healer are very much needed. Salary starts at 4000. If interested, contact [Avoiding Rain] in game. Phone number: 134××××××××
……
Wolf’s voice trembled, “High investment has high returns, they are using cardstock type A4 paper. And it is color print, d*mn it! We are using a $1.50 notebook paper so we can’t even compete. What should we do, we have been suppressed by them…….”
I ponder out aloud, “No problem, ours are hand written which shows more sincerity, which is our advantage. Continue to put them out, we will be able to hire new people! ”
“Okay, let’s hope it is as Brother Xiao Yao says……”
……
We worked straight until 3am, running around West Lake District’s main and side streets, to put out all 100 hiring notices. So begins a battle between Zhan Long Studio and Crimson Contract Studio to hire new people, the world is full of mysteries!
When I returned to Liu Hua University, I only had 4 precious hours to sleep. Early in the morning, I went to class. I seized this opportunity to talk with Wan Er all morning about different battle strategies by class in < >. For example: melee vs magic, melee vs assassin, melee vs melee, and melee vs ranged. Wan Er’s in game fighting skills were top notch, and she was also a great battle tactician. Her understanding of tactics far exceeded mine. There was nothing I could do, she was a natural-born genius. No matter what tactic, she understood it. But I would not admit defeat, I won in terms of experience…….
Almost noontime, 11am, the 3rd class had just ended.
I gave Wolf a call, *ring* *ring*, and it finally connected —
“Brother Xiao Yao!”
“What is the situation with the hiring process? Anyone come for an interview?”
“So far, there are no applicants……”
“Damn, no way……”
“Is it because we are asking for too much?”
“That is a possibility, we should lower the requirements……”
“Oh, Old K wrote up a new one, it is posted downstairs. I don’t remember the details, shall I take a photo and send it over?”
“Sure!”
Few minutes later, I received a photo message on my cell phone. The photo showed “Looking for cooking auntie, females only!” written on a plain white paper.
……
My entire body is trembling, I called Wolf again, “Wolf, this was written by Old K?”
“Yea……”
“I understand. Besides him, no one else could be so strange……”
“Brother Xiao Yao, just now someone called me. She will come to visit our studio in the afternoon at 12;20. She wants a face to face meeting, do you want to come back to take a look?”
“No need, I have to accompany Wan Er to lunch.”
“Okay, then I will make the decision?”
“Sure!”
……
Afternoon, Liu Hua University’s second cafeteria. Wan Er treated us to a meal.
Wan Er asked, “Did Zhan Long studio make quite a bit of money last night?”
I nodded, “Yeah, not too bad. 50,000 gold, enough to stop being poor.”
“You’re an upstart now?” she chuckled.
I was speechless and said, “A mere 400,000 RMB is enough to do what? If we create a guild, it is going to cost a lot of money. Besides, …. in the future when establishing a guild, you must have the initial funds to operate. I suspect 40,000 RMB is simply not enough. If I buy some equipment, or if I give some bonuses, then that money, would be all gone…..”
“Ah, yes ……” Wan Er smiled and nodded, “In [Hero’s Mound] guild, there is a reward every week for the top experts, like me and Yue Er. We can go to the guild storage and receive 3000 RMB as a weekly reward. Running a guild is a science……”
I shuddered: “Damn, that much ……”
“Yup!”
While lost in thought, I fiddled with the rice in my bowl. What path will Zhan Long take in the future, maybe I should search for investors?
……
At this time, my cell phone started ringing. It was Wolf’s number –
“Brother Xiao Yao, a girl came. She is currently at the studio, do you want to come take a look?
“No need, I’m currently with the Misses.”
“Uh, a pretty girl came……a developing pretty girl, so beautiful……”
“Damn!”
I suddenly stood up, every word sonorous, “Wait for my return !!”
