1426 Recruiting Manpower
The high price of 20,000 pesos on the poster attracted the attention of many people.
Most of the students who were able to enter Fort Nazca were not short of money.
However, 20,000 pesos was still a little too much, and it was not easy to take it out at once.
Of course, there were also many special enrollment students in Fort Nazca who were allowed to study because of their outstanding qualifications.
Most of these people were living in poverty.
!!
The Rand Chamber of Commerce had invested a lot of money into Fort Nazca to be able to put up a poster here.
Seeing that there were so many people gathered at the entrance, but no one came to register, the attendant could not help but feel a little worried. He whispered, “Miss, why did we set such a high price? Won’t it scare them away?”
“Most of the students in Fort Nazca are not short of money. If it’s too cheap, it will make people doubt the authenticity. We have to make them feel that this money is worth it. Besides, those who can easily afford this money are from wealthy families. Usually, when they go to such a dangerous experience, they will be accompanied by a teacher.”
Elisa replied softly, “This training will be fraught with dangers. With a teacher around, he can ensure our team’s safety to a certain extent.”
The steward of the Chambers of Commerce could not help but nod when he heard this, “Miss is wise, but…”
“But what?”
“The price is too high. Maybe the students are not willing to try.”
Just like now, but they had already waited for more than half an hour. Some people gathered in front of the stall, but perhaps the price was set too high, no one actually signed up before the reputation had spread.
“Yes, there’s no rush. I have my arrangements.”
During this period of time, Elisa had also heard some rumors that the Rand Chamber of Commerce’s family had encountered some setbacks in their business recently, and their capital chain had been slightly affected.
It would be best if she could use this opportunity to help her sister gain some fame in Catantul City and earn some money.
There was an endless stream of students coming and going in front of the poster. A group of students who came to ask questions gathered in front of the temporary counter.
A young man dressed in plain clothes hesitated for a moment and asked, “I’m a special enrollment student from Fort Nazca. My three companions and I want to sign up, but is what you said true? Going out to gain experience would definitely have practical results?”
“Of course, we will use the reputation of our Chamber of Commerce as a guarantee.”
Zhou Chen frowned. He had already wasted too much time on advancing to become a high-tier necromancer.
The fee for going out to gain experience was very expensive, but he was willing to take a gamble.
“I don’t believe in the credibility of the Chambers of Commerce. We want to have actual combat experience first and make payment after confirming that the experience is effective.”
The surroundings quieted down, and the students all turned to look at Elisa.
Elisa nodded with a smile, “Of course. Student, the quota is limited. Are you and your companion sure you want to register?”
Zhou Chen could not help but be stunned when he saw Elisa agreeing so readily.
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll go back on my word or deliberately say that it’s ineffective?”
“The Chamber of Commerce doesn’t want to see such a thing happen, but we are willing to believe in the quality and potential of every necromancer. If you can’t gather the money for the time being, the Chamber of Commerce is willing to provide an interest-free loan.”
Zhou Chen immediately said, “Alright, I’ll sign up. I still have three companions who want to sign up as well. I’ll bring them over now.”
“Of course, but you have to hurry up. The registration time will end soon.”
Upon hearing the news that they could go out for training before paying the fees, more students gathered around.
“Can we also train first and pay later?”
With someone taking the lead, more students came to inquire.
Just as Elisa had predicted, a large number of students in Fort Nazca were stuck on the path to high-tier necromancy.
Such field combat training was extremely attractive to them. Not to mention that they could enjoy it first and pay later.
Immediately, many people decided to sign up. There were even some who paid in full.
“Miss, why do we still have the option of a full refund if we’re not satisfied? Some people would ask for a refund after trying.”
“Our main goal is not to make money.”
The steward looked at Elisa and then at the students who had signed up. He suddenly understood.
“Miss Elisa, did you arrange those people?”
“Yes, I hired them to sign up. I contacted them privately and all the expenses will be borne by our Chambers of Commerce.”
“Miss is wise.” The Chambers of Commerce’s steward nodded again and reminded, “However, once the news of the ineffective free trade spreads, we will probably be targeted by the opposing Chambers of Commerce.”
“Indeed, there are risks. Let’s take it one step at a time.”
Not far away, a few students gathered together and observed from afar.
Du Changshen asked his personal teacher, “Uncle Qiao, what do you think?”
“You can try. Being in a crisis situation can indeed awaken one’s potential and allow one to break through. However, wilderness training is very dangerous. The undead storm is even more of a huge crisis. Moreover, this is the first time I’ve encountered a field combat training organized by the Chambers of Commerce.”
Qiao Lei looked at the students who have gathered outside the registration area not far away and nodded, “The strength of the Rand Chamber of Commerce isn’t the best among the Chambers of Commerce. I heard that they seem to have encountered some trouble recently.”
Du Changshen said, “Every time they go out to train in the wild, it costs a lot of money, not to mention that they have to bring such a large group of people. The consumption of resources is huge. The Chambers of Commerce won’t do things at a loss. They vouch that they won’t charge if the training is invalid. They must be somewhat confident.”
Qiao Lei nodded and replied, “Hmm, that makes sense. Are you interested?”
“Uncle Qiao, I’ve been stuck for more than half a year, and I don’t feel any signs of a breakthrough. I want to give it a try.”
“Sure.”
What surprised Elisa was that she had arranged a few people in the group in advance. Even so, they had thought that it would be good enough to have a party of 30 people. They did not expect that they would actually have a party of 50 people in the end!
It was also because the quota was limited.
There were even more students who were rejected and could only wait for the next batch.
In fact, there were even more students who were waiting to see if they would partic.i.p.ate after the Chambers of Commerce returned from their first trial.
…
Three hours later, the news of the Rand Chamber of Commerce recruiting students for field training gradually spread.
This action attracted the attention of many people in the city.
They felt that the people from the Rand Chamber of Commerce must have gone crazy!
Recently, the Rand Chamber of Commerce had been attacked by several major Chambers of Commerce in the city and had been in financial trouble for a period of time.
Why did they suddenly do this?
A life-and-death struggle?
Was this necessary?
Earning money by organizing students to go out for experiential learning?
No one had ever been involved in this area before.
The risk was too great!
Who could guarantee that they would not encounter a high-level undead storm halfway through?
Even if they were lucky enough to succeed once, how could they be lucky every time?
After the various Chambers of Commerce received the news, they all fell silent.
They were all waiting to see the Rand Chamber of Commerce become a joke.
At this moment, the Chambers of Commerce had already prepared the accompanying materials and led a large team to the area outside the black wasteland where the undead storm was more concentrated.
