Don't call me evil god

Chapter 168: Being Honest and Suffering a Big Loss

When the goblin Hugo saw Ray Wayne packed up and followed Rena out of the shed, looking eager to set off, his eyes almost popped out.

"No, he he he, you you you all, why did he..."

Hugo had been working in this refugee slum for so long that he had some understanding of Ray Wayne's eccentric personality.

Because before this, people from outside the refugee camp would occasionally come to Wayne and ask him to help design and build something, but Wayne rejected them without hesitation.

Hugo himself tried it.

He once had a business plan that he wanted to cooperate with Wayne, but the other party didn't even pay attention to him.

It seemed as if he would rather rot in the refugee slum than go back to being the spirited young architect he once was.

Hugo felt that Pete and his team would certainly return empty-handed like those who had tried in the past.

How did Ray Wayne get persuaded? !
For the first time, Hugo began to doubt his own "business" abilities.

He tried so hard but failed to recruit Wayne.

It only took these people a quarter of an hour to get here.

Why is Wayne so enthusiastic towards them now, as if he has been bewitched by an evil god!

……

After Wayne joined the team and thought about Rena's "recruitment" process, Pete gradually came to his senses.

Someone like Ray Wayne.

to be honest.

You can't get along with him in the same way you treat a "normal person".

He doesn't care about money and material enjoyment, otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed in the refugee slum for so long;

It is of little use to him to appeal to his emotions or to explain things to him logically.

What he really focuses on is the skills he is good at, or in other words, his profession.

Reina understood this very well.

She directly mocked Wayne's skills, saying that he was not good enough!
Against someone like Wayne, this trick is 100% effective and guaranteed to break his defense!

First use provocation to boost Wayne's fighting spirit, and then take the opportunity to give him a chance to prove his level.

Pete guessed.

Given Wayne's current state, even if we ask him to "pay" to help build the territory in the Misty Valley, let alone prepare corresponding compensation for recruiting him, this guy will most likely agree without hesitation!
This is not about money.

This gives him a chance to prove himself again!

……

They successfully found the architect talent that was most urgently needed for territory construction, which gave Pete and his team a good start in their recruitment operation in the refugee slum.

Of course, the goal of this trip is not just to recruit an architect.

The requirements in the series of tasks are very clear.

The minimum requirement for a territory of "ordinary town" size is that the population must reach 100 people.

This means that Pete and his team have to recruit at least 70 more people.

Of course, Pete had no intention of recruiting all the people at once.

The Misty Valley is outside the border, and it takes nearly three days to get there through the forest from Ceylon Line 3.

The size of the first group of 25 refugees was still manageable. With the escort of two Level 3 mages, Pete and Gale, and Miranda providing treatment to the wounded at any time, all members finally arrived at their destination.

If we really want to gather a large team of 70 people, there will likely be casualties along the way.

It is better to continue to use the tactic of breaking the whole into parts. At worst, we can just do it a few more times.

Anyway, in Pete's impression, when he left the Misty Valley, except for the magnificent altar of creation, the rest of the place was completely desolate.

Bringing people over cannot immediately convert them into permanent residents of the territory, so they have plenty of time and are not in a hurry to complete the task of having 100 territory residents at once.

This time, in addition to skilled craftsmen like Wayne, Pete and his team also recruited the families of the 25 refugees! Before leaving, Old Bill and his team specifically asked Pete to help pass on a message to their families, asking them not to continue to suffer in the refugee camp and live a hard life of starvation.

Hurry and cross the border to Misty Valley to enjoy a new life of bread freedom!

Pete also approved of this recruitment.

There is no other reason.

He had to go find those people he didn't know at all, and he had to find a way to convince them to take the risk of going into the wilderness and not knowing whether they would be able to come back.

Not only is recruitment difficult, but we also don’t know what these people are thinking, and there’s even the possibility of recruiting potential risks.

The situation was different for the families of the first batch of refugees.

Send a message.

Your fathers and grandfathers have found a suitable new home, come quickly!

That’s it!

Knowing their background and in-depth knowledge, recruitment is easier.

……

"Can you find the families of those who signed the contract with you?"

Hearing Pete's question, Hugo nodded confidently and said, "Of course, Your Excellency, please rest assured that the 70 silver coins they should be given will not be reduced by a single one!"

"Will you come with me and watch me hand over the money to them personally?"

Pete uttered a sound.

He was a little helpless.

On the way here, he tried several times to explain to Hugo that the 25 refugees did not die in the Dark Forest. They really went to develop and build the ownerless territory. Now they are still alive and well, and can eat toast every meal.

According to Hugo's employment remuneration mechanism, if the refugee "stand-ins" are not dead, the commission is 1 gold and 20 silver coins, and the stand-in can take 50%, which is 60 silver coins.

The remaining 60 silver is Hugo’s commission.

The problem is that Hugo doesn't believe it at all!

He insisted on providing the 70 silver coins as compensation to the families of the substitutes, the beneficiaries, and only kept 50 silver coins for himself.

Pater made one last effort and persuaded Hugo earnestly:
"Mr. Xiwei, I really didn't lie to you."

"They are all still alive, you really don't have to pay pensions!"

"Next time you see them, just give them the 60 silver coins you should give them according to your contract."

Hugo shook his head like a rattle and said seriously:
"Your Excellency, you don't have to test me anymore!"

"Please rest assured, I am different from those cunning goblins in Green Harbor. I am an honest goblin doing serious business!"

"I will not take any less money than I deserve, and I will not be greedy and take money that is not mine!"

"Besides, this is the money they... earned with their lives."

Pete gave up.

Hugo is definitely a freak among goblins.

The goblin race has always been known for its "fickleness" on the continent;
Well, this fickleness is also an abbreviation for "good at adapting".

They often exploit loopholes in contract terms and find various ways to evade the requirements.

How could such an honest goblin suddenly appear?

Pete was curious about what kind of education Hugo Sivi had received to become what he is today!
In short, he really couldn't be persuaded.

"I hope you won't regret it later."
