Chapter 557: Chapter 371: This is the true win-win!_3

But he understood that while dining and entertainment at Blazing Fire Mall might be expensive, they were worth the price. Not everything was so expensive, just that he couldn’t control these hands of his.

After all, mercenaries were a group known for spending as much as they earned, with hardly any savings in their pockets. Now here he was in a high-cost city without any business for over two months, his wallet saw only outflows.

Touching his now-empty storage necklace, Lote’s smile gradually turned bitter, and even the fragrant tea before him seemed to lose its aroma.

He was a respected Six Senses sovereign and also a leader of one of the top mercenary groups. He wouldn’t go under, but financial strain meant he could no longer afford to spend lavishly. He might even need to set aside some funds to aid the poorer members of his group.

Ah~!

It wasn’t easy to earn money, the group leader sighed.

Just as Lote, the group leader, was troubled by money issues, a junior mercenary brought him some news.

"Leader, the Defense Commission is summoning all the major mercenary groups stationed here, claiming they have a good job for us."

"A good job?"

"The Blazefire Commerce Guild didn’t give specifics, leader. Shall we go?"

"Go! Of course we go!"

After all, he was already dying of boredom.

When he arrived at the Defense Commission’s reception hall, Lote found there were more acquaintances than he had expected.

His regular card-playing group of four was there, even the guy who didn’t join the games, whose eyes were bloodshot and who walked somewhat unsteadily. There were also many other business and mercenary group leaders he had dealings with, or with whom he had only a slight acquaintance.

The hall was bustling.

However, when Lote inquired with a few acquaintances, none of them knew why the Defense Commission had summoned them.

Soon, the personnel from the Defense Commission arrived.

The Red-haired Empress, dressed in a bright robe, descended like flames upon the clouds. At that instant, it seemed as if the entire sky turned red, a fiery red that heralded the Empress’s arrival.

With a grand entrance and holding her ’invincible and lonely Empress’ pose for three seconds, Yiluo Xi finally prepared to speak but suddenly choked up.

What was she supposed to say again? She had forgotten to ask, what a blunder!

But such a minor issue couldn’t stymie the Empress Yiluo Xi. She turned her face slightly and gave Bai Yansi a look.

’I knew it would be like this.’

With a silent sigh, Bai Yansi stepped forward, "Our Blazefire Commerce Guild has several business deals we would like to discuss with you. Please look here."

’Regarding the defense commission of the Great Oasis and the payment!’

The description stated that through their Blazefire Commerce Guild, no, more accurately, through the Mission Guild, one could receive a commission of a substantial reward.

The content of the commission, naturally, was to assist the various Great Oasis in resisting the disaster of Mysterious Evil.

This was a long-term task, mercenary groups would need to stay stationed until the disaster’s end.

First, mercenary or trade groups would need to register with the ’Mission Guild’ to qualify for picking up the commission. Then, the Blazefire Commerce Guild would dispatch an epic flying vessel to transport mercenary groups to the target Oasis.

Throughout the task, there would be Blazefire Commerce Guild powerhouses acting as witnesses and notaries.

Additionally, the Guild would guarantee that the mercenary groups received their subsequent commission payments. During this process, the Mission Guild would merely take a small, roughly 50% intermediary fee.

Having listened to Bai Yansi’s explanation, Lote and the other mercenary group leaders fell into thought.

They weren’t devoid of similar ideas, it was just that it was difficult for them to contact these Great Oasis, and even harder to traverse the perilous Grey Mist Area to reach unknown territories during these times. Another most important factor was the issue of trust.

The Great Oasis may not trust these mercenary groups.

They had no means to ensure they could reap any ongoing profits from the commissions.

But it was different for the Blazefire Commerce Guild. Perhaps the Blazefire didn’t have the influence or prestige that the City of Fallen Stars had accumulated over hundreds of years, yet as a superpower with several mythic figures residing within, the very name of the Blazefire Commerce Guild was a guarantee of credibility!

— No mythic figure would tarnish their reputation for such meager benefits.

Oh, at least not those who hailed from superpower entities.

Precisely because of the Blazefire Commerce Guild’s presence, many risks and worries for both the hiring party and the mercenaries were eliminated. Despite having to pay a 50% platform fee, the compensation they received was still substantial!

Lote pondered for a moment and thought this was an incredibly good deal.

Low risk, high reward!

Who would have thought that after being trapped in the Flamefire Oasis for over two months, they would not only avoid a loss but actually earn even more!

No, they still needed to land a commission to hit the jackpot. Were there that many commissions available?

For a brief moment, as Lote looked at the other group leaders, his gaze carried a hint of wariness. Without further hesitation, he quickly walked toward the white-suited supervisor.

...

"This is a win-win situation, isn’t it?"

"The top mercenary groups supply the manpower, we collect the money, and everyone is happy to cooperate."

"It is a win-win indeed~!"

Thousand Faces echoed, with adoring, wide-open eyes.

It wasn’t easy for the Flamefire organization to send troops to support the Black Stone Alliance because the organization’s current deployment across three oases already used up most of its elite forces.

The Blazefire Commerce Guild wasn’t as understaffed as outsiders imagined, but the actual number of elite forces that could be mobilized was indeed limited.

It was feasible to dispatch powerful figures for rescue missions, but if they were needed to station in other lands for the long term, that would be too great a strain. Moreover, killing Mysterious Evil in oases not integrated into the system did not yield mission profits.

This prompted Fang You to entertain the idea of hiring outsiders. Coincidentally, those mercenary bands in the Flamefire Oasis were bored out of their minds, so finding them something to do was an attractive prospect.

"These top mercenary groups, most of their leaders and deputy leaders are at the level of Six Senses, and they possess hundreds of elite experts. They have plenty of strength to spare."

"Given that, why not go all out in support."

He then had Thousand Faces use the forces previously arranged to contact cities in the Great Oasis like Sword Flower City and Wave City-State in the name of Blazefire, to inquire about various situations and explore different needs.

Thus, a deal was quickly struck.

It was a triple-win deal.

"The mercenary bands got a handsome income."

"The Great Oasis survived an existential catastrophe."

"And I, Flamefire..."

First, with little effort, substantial revenues from several commissions were secured;

Second, by supporting the various oases, our commerce guild could not only make money but also earn a reputation. From then on, the Blazefire Commerce Guild’s influence in the Falling Star Pit would expand rapidly, catching up to or even rivaling the dominator force, the City of Fallen Stars;

Third, these top mercenary groups would gradually get accustomed to taking commissions from the Mission Guild, thus broadening the guild’s influence;

Fourth, it’s with money in their pockets that these mercenaries could make significant purchases at the Blazing Fire Mall, promoting the mall’s economic growth;

Upon considering these points, Teacher Fang revealed a pleased smile.

"This is what true win-win looks like!"
