Arknights, please stop going crazy over the streamer's operators.

Secretary Chen gave an awkward laugh, interrupting their conversation.

These awkward and mood-ruining remarks must be avoided.

At this point, Secretary Chen wiped the cold sweat from his brow.

Secretary Chen's original plan was to find someone good-looking and see if she could impress Li Ji with her appearance.

After all, the taciturn Texas, with her aloof and cold demeanor as a mafia heiress, certainly wouldn't let anyone touch her easily.

This is a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Men, you know, all like to try something new. They prefer wild grass to domestic flowers. Plus, given the other person's indifferent attitude, the one who takes the initiative is definitely more popular.

But I never expected that Wanfeng in front of me... would only be thinking about outputting damage?

Secretary Chen really wanted to ask Wan Feng in front of him:

"Are you going to have to open an Excel spreadsheet and calculate the other person's output before deciding whether to go on a blind date?"

Moreover, this person has absolutely no sense of chivalry or tenderness towards women.

They've so badly belittled Sheng Yu that it's almost as if the two of them are about to fight.

"Then let's not bring up the issue of changing operators, so as not to hurt everyone's feelings."

Secretary Chen quickly adjusted his expression and forced a fairly serious smile. "Since our operators can't meet Captain Wanfeng's needs, let's talk about the contract with Silent Texas."

He picked up a draft contract that had already been prepared, with various terms and conditions written on it.

Li Ji looked up at the contract that was handed to him and casually took it.

But before reading the terms, he opened the salary and compensation section tucked on the last page.

[Due to work requirements, Party A and Party B, through friendly consultation, have reached the following agreement.]

Party A appoints Party B as the leader of the special task force for a term of __ years, from __ year __ month __ day to __ year __ month __ day.

During the contract period, Party A shall pay Party B 830,000 Lungmen Dollars per month. If the monthly performance assessment meets the target, Party B shall receive a quarterly bonus.

"83, that adds up to about ten million a year?"

Li Ji glanced at the contract and found it to be quite good. A regular six-star operator would be paid around three million, while ten million would be the level of a star operator.

This is all despite the fact that the silent Texas has only appeared once, without any commercial endorsements or social impact.

The fact that the other party was willing to offer ten million was actually quite unexpected for Li Ji.

Although the silence of Texas is definitely more than ten million.

And let's not even talk about how much it's worth outside...

First, he never intended to transfer Silent Texas out of the game. She was his virtual wife, and as a good doctor from Rhodes Island, he would only let her go on field missions to earn some extra money. That was Li Ji's bottom line.

Therefore, he had no idea how much the Silent Texas was priced outside.

Secondly, even if he tries to lower the price or threatens him, the minimum price for Silent Texas is still 20 million LMD!

After all, the system's pricing is what it is.

Even if you called the King of Heaven himself, he still couldn't bring down the price of 20 million given by the system.

Since Li Ji made a prediction yesterday, he would naturally have made preparations.

He casually tossed the contract onto the table, chuckled, and said, "Ten million? Secretary Chen, are you looking down on me a little?"

Li Ji placed his hand on the sofa and leaned back. "If you want to take Silent Texas away from me, it'll cost forty million a year, and I only accept employment contracts."

"Forty million, and it's still an employment contract?" Secretary Chen's expression turned somewhat strange. "Commander Wanfeng is joking. I'm afraid no one can accept your price and terms. Please don't take me for a fool."

The employment system simply means hiring a thug without any commercial rights or ownership.

Even if the other party wants to take it back, the corresponding fee can be refunded directly, and the operator can be recalled.

It is generally used for short-term rental.

For example, a lease on an annual basis costs 40 million per year.

Unless you let Silent Texas lead the team and spend every day on the current high-level maps, you won't be able to make a profit at all.

Even if Li Zhang were here, he wouldn't dare sign this agreement.

But Li Ji asked slowly and calmly:

"Secretary Chen, I'd like to ask about Sheng Yu's price?"

"Five million a year."

Although Secretary Chen's expression was not good, he still quickly answered Li Ji's question.

"So you're giving a 10 million for a Silent Texas with double the output? Your understanding of it is probably only worth a small amount."

Li Ji smiled and said, "You've prepared several different contracts, but only you know the truth. I'm probably the one being taken for a fool, aren't I?"

He then opened his Excel file, calculated the periodic DPS of Silent Texas, and compared it with Sheng Yu's periodic output.

"Can you understand this output?"

"Moreover, she's cheerful and can save you more than one squad slot, and can do many things that other operators can't."

"So, is it still ten million?"

Secretary Chen's expression darkened further, but Li Ji continued speaking.

"And this is the most important point: you said you were discussing personnel contracts, but you came in with a scantily clad female agent."

"I have serious doubts about your company's cultural traditions and work style."

"As the captain of Silent Texas, I certainly wouldn't dare to hand over my team members to your company casually, so I only accept employment contracts."

"Did I make myself clear?"

"If you've explained yourself, please move outside. I'm going to eat. If you're willing to spend this forty million..."

"No, I've changed my mind. It's fifty million now. If you're willing to pay, feel free to call me."

As Li Ji spoke, he raised his hand to see the guest out.

"Since you've found out where I live, I probably don't need to give you my phone number myself, right?"

"..."

Secretary Chen remained silent for a few seconds.

"I will tell my boss about this. I'll trouble Captain Wanfeng to keep it in mind."

Although Secretary Chen's face was gloomy, he couldn't lash out immediately, since the other party also had a large company backing them.

How to handle this matter is up to the boss to decide.

So he had no choice but to take Sheng Yu, who also looked rather pale, out with him.

Li Ji watched the two people walk out, then slowly closed the door, adding a concluding remark at the end.

"One medium-tier operator, one small-tier understanding."

"It's all messed up."

Chapter 30: Okay, okay, is this how you cut it?

Li Ji sat in his live-streaming seat and lazily stretched.

It's time for today's live stream, but he hasn't decided on what to stream yet.

Normally, the content for the next live stream should be planned the night before.

But all he could think about last night was how to deal with people like Secretary Chen.

But the result was... Li Ji felt that thinking about it all night might have been a bit unnecessary.

He had expected the other party to have something special, so he made special preparations.

But he never expected that the operator the other party had confidently brought over for the exchange would be... so humorous.

He was actually quite looking forward to it at first, since he rarely saw the true stats of a six-star character in this world.

But when I first saw this panel, well...

When he saw that Sheng Yu, as a swordswoman, only had an attack power stat of 613, he was already halfway to the "laughing out loud" phase.

However, after careful consideration, Li Ji came to a realization.

The same problem existed when we fought alongside the White Night Hymn team.

That is, although this is the world invaded by Arknights, and humans have all awakened the template.

Even if they awaken their skills again, they are still Earthlings after all, and their physical constitution is definitely still quite different from that of the Terrans.

Other classes, such as support and warlock, which do not require 'physical training', might be relatively better.

However, the difference will be greater for classes like Guard, Defender, Ground Specialist, and Vanguard, which require 'physical training'.

This was also mentioned in part of the previous Arknights and Rainbow Six Siege collaboration storyline, which confirms this point.

So unless you have extraordinary talent, a decent independent riding zone, or a certain level of combat skills and techniques, you can't have your own track without being torn up.

If Sheng Yu were simply ranked among Earthlings, her stats would actually be quite good, but she was comparing herself to Li Ji's Arknights Golden Squad...
