Chapter 1389 - Chinatowns Mercenary (2/2)

It was the North American way. Even if Asian survivors were relatively conservative, they were only relative to their compatriots across the ocean.

“I need to hire some manpower,” Jiang Chen walked to the bar and didn’t order any drinks. He directly slapped two large bottle caps on the table, and said to the bartender, “I have no special requirements for strength, as long as they are not a burden. I care more about credibility, and then they must be bright. Do you have any recommendations?”

The moment the bartender saw these two large bottle caps, his breathing became noticeably louder.

He collected the bottle caps calmly, glanced at the power armor on Jiang Chen, and said with a grin, “It is hard to find people who won’t be a burden, but it looks like you’re not looking for bodyguards or guards. If I guess right, then I recommend you try those scavengers. Their instincts are as keen as mice, and they are familiar with any survivor settlement.”

At this moment, a tall and skinny man with a shaved head and a striking scar on his face came over. He stood next to Jiang Chen, examined him, then spoke.

“Do you need some hands?”

“Yes,” Jiang Chen turned his gaze to the man and responded to his inquiry with a curious gaze, “You are?”

“Gris, I don’t remember my last name. Everyone called me Crow.” Gris grinned. “First of all, I won’t be a burden. Second, I’m familiar with the survivor settlements in California, Nevada, and Utah. If you need a guide, I’ll at least not let you get lost. If you plan to find someone, as long as he is still on the West Coast, he will not escape.”

Jiang Chen didn’t agree immediately but looked to the bartender who accepted his tip.

The latter was wiping the glass in his hand. Without being shy, he said straightforwardly.

“Crow Gris…well, I recognize the name a bit. The rare British man who can get in and out of Chinatown without being with a merchant fleet, and a scavenger with keen eyes who appears as a guard… That’s all I can think of. Based on the market price, a guide’s pay is 20 caps a day, and for a guard, it’s 40, the full week is calculated as six days. Of course, this is just my suggestion. You can figure it out yourself.”

“Okay,” Jiang Chen looked to Gris, “You are hired. I will pay you 50 caps a day, and I will tell you what your mission is later. The request is that I hope you are worthy of your compensation.”

Fifty bottle caps!

When everyone heard this number, many survivors looked enviously at Gris. It was rare to see such a generous employer even in Liberty City, let alone Chinatown.

When Gris heard his compensation, he too looked joyful, but he quickly hid the joy behind humility and nodded.

“I am honored to be of service to you.”

Jiang Chen nodded.

After Gris received this envious job and thought that the lavish employer would get up and leave immediately, his employer continued to sit there as if he had no intention of leaving.

“What do you want to drink?” The bartender asked, seeing that Jiang Chen didn’t plan to leave.

“No,” Jiang Chen shook his head, and said in a voice that everyone could hear, “I said, I need to hire some people…probably three to five more.”

Gris was stunned, and the bartender almost didn’t hold onto the glass in his hand.

As for the survivors inside…

They all went crazy.
