Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Recruiting testers for battle armor, requiring at least level three armor mastery, paid 300 origin coins per day.
Recruiting caravan guards, requiring at least level three armor and puppet mastery, paid 180 origin coins per day.
In total, the workshop needed to recruit tens of thousands of people.
Recruitment notices like these filled every corner of the streets of PaG.o.da City.
The workshop’s wages were at least three times higher than elsewhere.
For craftsmen who were fit and young, regardless of gender, the daily wage used to be only one origin coin a day.
The wages from the Jujin Trading Company’s workshop were so generous that it was irresistible.
Zhang Chaoyu eventually chose the job of testing battle armor in the workshop, earning 400 origin coins a day.
As a level four, he earned 400 origin coins even if he didn’t work for a day.
Calculating like this, the origin coins he lost today could be earned back in less than a year.
The He family’s workshop was basically giving away money.
To the Alliance of Refining and Forging Masters in the city, the wages they offered were incredibly generous.
Everyone was willing to go for such wages.
Many low-level refiners couldn’t earn in a month what the workshop offered for just three days of work.
In just three days, the workshop had recruited most of the people.
The first to be recruited were the unrestricted craftsmen.
Apart from those from influential families who were still observing, there were no more candidates.
PaG.o.da City lacked the talent needed for the workshops. “Hmph, the daily wage expenses are definitely astronomical.
“I want to see how the He family goes bankrupt.”
In a mansion in PaG.o.da City, a white-bearded old man spoke coldly.
Around him, several people were seated, all smiling upon hearing his words.
“Patriarch Bai is right. With such a constant outflow of origin coins, even 10 He families wouldn’t last a month.’
Below, a middle-aged man in black robes spoke in a deep voice.
Everyone in PaG.o.da City was watching. They were watching the He family and wondering how long Jujin Trading Company could hold on.
Even the three t.i.tans of the Alliance were incredibly curious at this moment.
At the same time, they were very worried.
Recently, PaG.o.da City’s trading rules had all been completely changed by Chief
Han.
The refiners in the Alliance were now barely holding on.
If the workshop ultimately ran out of funds, the reputation of the Alliance of Refining Masters in PaG.o.da City would also be destroyed.
The Chief of the Alliance would also be held accountable.
With power comes responsibility.
“Several masters from Maple City have arrived in PaG.o.da City!” someone reported at the door.
Masters from Maple Forest City?
Everyone in the hall looked happy.
But in a moment, accurate information arrived.
Ye Xun, a level five refiner from Maple Forest City, and Su Ji, a level six refiner, had come to PaG.o.da City to visit Chief Han.
“Level five… Level six!” An aristocratic family’s steward looked excited.
“Maple Forest City’s weapon refining standard is higher than PaG.o.da City’s. A level six refiner might even defeat a level seven refiner from PaG.o.da City! “This Chief Han might be defeated by Master Su!”
As long as Chief Han was defeated, the He family and their workshop would be finished!
Everyone stood up excitedly and walked out of the mansion.
But as they walked out of the gate, more news came.
“Family Heads, Master Su and Master Ye of Maple Forest City want to join the PaG.o.da City’s Alliance of Refining Masters and the workshop.
“They’re at the workshop. They said that they don’t want wages and are willing to become Chief Han’s followers.”
The masters who had walked out glanced at each other and then awkwardly bowed.
“Patriarch Bai, I have some matters to attend to at home, so I’ll leave first.’
“Master Tao, let’s drink together in a few days.”
“Old Xu, do you need a wife? I’ll send one to you tomorrow.”
In front of the mansion, there was chaos as the heads of various families dispersed and left.
But as they hadn’t gone far, someone came running hastily.
“Patriarch, Maple Forest Citys world-cla.s.s expert, a level six armor master, Zheng Sheng, has come to our PaG.o.da City.”
A level 6 expert!
Such an expert could dominate the entire PaG.o.da City.
“The expert from the Zheng family is heading to the He family’s workshop.”
The report made all the family heads stop in their tracks.
Will the He family be able to escape disaster this time?
Everyone looked excited as they stared in the direction outside the city.
In a while, there will probably be the sound of a great battle, with flashes of brilliance, right?
Sure enough, not long after, there was a roar from outside the city.
With tens of thousands of people shouting, it must be chaos there!
It’s done, the He family is finished!
A messenger soldier riding a two-horned war horse galloped over.
Everyone was waiting with smiles on their faces.
As the messenger rode, he shouted, “The elder of the Zheng family from Maple City, a level six expert Zheng Sheng, has personally come to the He family to propose a marriage alliance. Young Master He is rewarding everyone in the workshop with two origin coins each as a wedding gift.”
He waved a small bag in his hand.
“l, I, also have a share…
