Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 159 - 140 Construction Starts on the Defensive Wall_1

Hearing the other party’s questioning, Chen Dalong couldn’t help but let out a dry laugh.

"Well, I know, the recruitment difficulty has increased a bit, but I have no choice, after all, I only have a quota for 100 soldiers, and of course I want to choose the best," Chen Dalong spread his hands and said with an innocent face.

The previous recruitment of 15 ex-soldiers made him realize how formidable these retired soldiers were.

Now he had the opportunity to recruit more, and he was no longer short of money, so he definitely wanted to choose the best.

Chen Dalong thought for a moment and added, "If the strength of those ex-soldiers is really strong, I can even increase the pay, up to a maximum of 200,000 a month."

"You really are worthy of being the number one Superhuman, really generous," Xiao Lin said with some emotion.

Previously, because Chen Dalong was a Superhuman, she, as the person in charge, took the initiative to make contact with him.

However, after the third Spiritual Energy Resurgence, over fifty Superhumans emerged, and Xiao Lin thought Chen Dalong’s status would greatly decline compared to before.

But his performance amazed her once more, as he, with a pair of Twin Swords, directly repelled the horde of mice, killing more Mutated Mice than the sum of the second to the tenth placed individuals.

When she received such news, her regard for Chen Dalong naturally rose even higher.

After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Lin said, "To be honest, I don’t want to refuse to help, but the state has already started recalling ex-soldiers, so recruitment has become much more difficult than before."

A look of disappointment inevitably appeared on Chen Dalong’s face.

But before he could speak, Xiao Lin continued, "However, I can use personal connections to directly borrow a batch of soldiers from the army for you."

"Is that possible?" Chen Dalong was somewhat astonished.

"Of course, after all, you have the quota, and more importantly, I am talking about borrowing them. They only come to your side but still belong to their original units. Of course, you’ll have to pay their wages, and whether you can really keep the people depends on your own capabilities," Xiao Lin said.

This was possible precisely because it was Chen Dalong. He had already made a name for himself, plus the salaries he was offering were high enough. Both were indispensable.

"Heh heh, that’s great, then I must trouble you, I’m truly grateful," Chen Dalong said rubbing his hands together.

As long as he could get the people to come, he was confident in keeping them. Furthermore, he was short of personnel now, but that might not be the case in the future. With long-term training and combat, even the ordinary security staff could become elite.

"Don’t be too quick to thank me. Doing this is going to cost me a lot of favors. You don’t intend to just brush it off with a simple thank you, do you?" Xiao Lin crossed her arms and stared at Chen Dalong expressionlessly.

"Haha, of course not. Just let me know how you want me to repay you, and I won’t say no if it’s within my power," Chen Dalong stated firmly.

Xiao Lin thought for a moment with her chin resting on her hand, then shook her head, "I haven’t really decided yet. How about this, you owe me a favor for now. I’ll look for you when I need help in the future, how about that?"

"No problem! Just ask me when you need my help, as long as I can help," Chen Dalong said, patting his chest.

Although owing a favor can be the hardest debt to repay, isn’t reciprocity all about these things? You help me once, I help you once, and that’s how a relationship is built.

"Alright, if there’s nothing else then, that’s it. You can go back and wait for the news," Xiao Lin said.

"Cough cough! Actually, I’m planning to increase the number of combat personnel in the Mad Dragon Security Company to 300. Right now, we only have 105 people; among them, 15 are ex-soldiers. If you help me fill up the quota, that’s an increase of 85 people, and the total number would only be 190," Chen Dalong said with a smile on his face.

"So, could you lend another hand here? Recruit another 110 experienced security personnel for me, and help me increase our numbers to 300," Chen Dalong said with a beaming smile.

Xiao Lin couldn’t help but roll her eyes, "You really aren’t shy about asking."

"Why bother with two masters for one job? Just consider it as owing you two favors," Chen Dalong said hastily.

"Alright! But experienced combat security personnel are really tough to find; it probably won’t be a short process, so be mentally prepared," Xiao Lin said.

"But my company is urgently expanding and needs hands. Can’t you directly poach some people for me?" Chen Dalong inquired.

"I can’t help you with poaching, but I can give you the contact details of those people. If you’re not afraid of offending your peers, you can call them yourself," Xiao Lin glanced at him and said.

"The way you say that makes it sound like I haven’t offended them before," Chen Dalong shrugged nonchalantly.

Xiao Lin "..."

Ten minutes later.

Chen Dalong left the human resources department with a thick list of names, then called out the other members of the Mad Dragon Security Company and headed to the logistics department.

Previously, as a Second Lieutenant, Chen Dalong’s equipment quota was only 100 automatic rifles and 2 heavy machine guns.

But now, having been promoted to Second Lieutenant, in addition to the most important quota of 100 soldiers,

the weapons allotment directly became 300 automatic rifles, 3 heavy machine guns, 3 rocket launchers, and 3 armored vehicles.

This meant that now he could still purchase 200 automatic rifles, 1 heavy machine gun, 3 rocket launchers, and 3 armored vehicles.

The heavy machine guns and rocket launchers could be skipped, as he could exchange for those using Military Merit Points if he wanted.

But 200 automatic rifles, that was no small number.
