After Beating the Game, I Became the Villain BOSS-Chapter 126 - 115: New Companion

Dongdong looked at Su Mo in confusion: "Work with you? What do you mean?"

Su Mo spread his hands: "What do I look like?"

Dongdong: "Like an idiot."

Su Mo: "Be serious!"

Thinking of the Mad Corpse Blood Code ability Su Mo just revealed, Dongdong hesitantly asked, "Mercenary?"

Su Mo nodded: "That's right, I have a Mercenary Corps, just starting up with only three people now, and we're urgently need manpower. If you're interested, we can work together."

Dongdong said with a disgusted face: "I'm not interested, what's so good about mercenaries? Bossed around by employers all day, not free at all."

Hearing Dongdong say she's not interested, Su Mo got anxious: "That's not being bossed around, it's called cooperation! Employers will give full payment! And apart from commissions, everything else is personal time, very free, isn't that much better than roaming the streets?"

Seeing Su Mo anxious, Dongdong wanted to laugh, pretending to be proud she said: "Hmph, still not interested, I'm quite free now, mercenary work doesn't attract me."

She sneaked a glance at Su Mo, her gaze drifting away, her voice softening: "But, if it's with you, maybe I could consider..."

Su Mo's mood was like a roller coaster, from collapse to ecstasy in an instant: "So you're agreeing?!"

Dongdong snorted: "Not agreeing, just said I'd think about it! Let me ask you, if I work with you, is room and board included?"

Su Mo answered without hesitation: "Of course! I rented a big house at 13 Rosen Street in Rust Wall District, there's an empty room left, you can stay there."

"There's someone to help with cooking usually, the chef's skills are excellent, and every meal has real meat—actual meat."

Hearing there's real meat every meal, Dongdong was almost drooling, continuing to ask: "What about the commission reward? How's it divided?"

Su Mo said without hesitation: "For commissions completed independently, you keep all the reward, no need to hand over a single cent. For those done with others, it's divided according to contribution, but it won't let you suffer any loss at all."

Dongdong was stunned: "Really... independent commission, all the reward is mine?"

Though she hadn't worked as a mercenary, she had mixed in the streets for years, met many people, and knew quite a bit about the ins and outs of this field.

By the norm of a mercenary corps, a mercenary completing a commission independently usually gets a 30-70 split—the mercenary takes 30, and the remaining 70% goes to the corps.

The cut seems excessive, but it's not really exploitation.

Because mercenaries joining a corps can enjoy numerous team resources, including but not limited to equipment support, logistical supply, quality connections, etc., all these are invisible costs.

Also, the commissions assigned to them are all carefully screened by the leader, almost no pitfalls, and if there really is a pitfall, the team will stand up for you.

This 30-70 split is the general standard in the Mercenary Realm of New Moon City.

If you come across a generous mercenary corps, a 50-50 split would be very good. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Dongdong was hearing about a 100-0 split model for the first time.

Su Mo laughed and explained: "Since you're joining now, you're considered a founding member, of course you get special treatment. People who join later will definitely have to pay a cut."

Dongdong nodded thoughtfully.

Su Mo couldn't contain his excitement: "So you agree?"

Dongdong purposely showed an arrogant expression: "Since you're so sincere in asking me, I'll reluctantly agree~"

Su Mo silently cheered yes!

If this was a video game, there'd be a line popping up in the bottom right corner of the screen.

Dongdong, looking at the delighted Su Mo, laughed happily too: "Why, does my joining make you so happy?"

Su Mo was extremely elated, joking with Dongdong: "Of course, I'll rely on Sister Dong to carry me in the future, I'm counting on you to cover for me."

Dongdong chuckled, ran over to the lake and stood on a big stone, waving to Su Mo: "Just right, I prepared something good for you, come quickly."

Su Mo ran over curiously: "What's the good stuff?"

"It's a big treasure, you'll know once you come here." Dongdong made room on the stone for Su Mo.

She hid her hands in her pockets, smiling sweetly: "Close your eyes, no peeking~"

"Okay!" Su Mo was so happy he didn't think at all and closed his eyes, waiting for Dongdong's surprise.

The surroundings were very quiet, only the sound of wind rustling through the leaves, making one feel relaxed.

Silence.

Silence.

Silence.

"Dong!"

Suddenly Su Mo felt his butt hit hard, he was kicked flying, and with a "splash," he fell into the lake.

"Hahaha!!!!" Dongdong laughed so hard she slapped her thigh, pointing at the embarrassed Su Mo in the water, burst into laughter, "Killing me with laughter! You never learn!"

"Yay! After all these days, I finally beat you! Idiot, big idiot! Haha~"

Su Mo was so angry his head was smoking, and he swam towards the shore: "If you dare, don't run! Watch me not spank you hard!"

Dongdong made a face at Su Mo, then fled: "Good Dong doesn't suffer in front of the eyes, I'm out~"

By the time Su Mo made it ashore, Dongdong was long gone.

...

That evening, Su Mo returned home in disarray.

KK opened the door and was taken aback seeing Su Mo soaked: "Big brother, where did you go? It didn't rain today, did it?"

Su Mo was full of anger, couldn't be bothered to talk.

Walking into the living room, he was just about to grab a tissue to wipe his hair when the corner of the trash bin moved slightly.

He jumped back, pointed at the bin, and yelled: "Who! Who's hiding inside?!"

The trash bin lid popped open, and a white mouse poked its head out, sniffing tirelessly.

KK walked over, picked up the little mouse, and said: "The mouse Future raised escaped again... big brother, what's wrong with you? Acting afraid like this, scared by a mouse."

Su Mo sat on the floor and let out a fishy sigh.

He's been "chased" by Dongdong recently, always on edge, cautious wherever he went, almost developing PTSD.

"I'm exhausted, gonna sleep first." Su Mo went back to his room, showered, and fell asleep.

The next morning.

Su Mo was in the kitchen dully eating breakfast.

"No idea where Dongdong went, what to do next... sigh, if this world had master balls, it'd be perfect, this girl is even harder to catch than Mewtwo."

"Knock knock knock." At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Su Mo walked over, annoyed as he opened the door: "Didn't see the sign on the door? No soliciting!"

The gentle morning breeze welcomed him, the first thing jumping to his eyes was the pink pigtails shining in the sunlight.

Dongdong waved and showed an energetic smile: "Yo, good morning, how did you sleep last night?"

Su Mo gazed at Dongdong blankly, temporarily unable to react.

Dongdong leaned on the doorframe, peeking in: "This is your house? Quite nice."

She looked back at Su Mo, sunlight sparkling in her eyes, brimming with laughter: "So from today onwards, I'm yours. Boss, which room is mine?"

Su Mo gradually came to his senses, and with a knowing smile, he led Dongdong inside with a hand on her shoulder: "It's already set up for you, come on! Let me show you your room!"
