In those days of Plants vs. Zombies

Chapter 584 Extending an Olive Branch to Chongfeng

Among the many tool-type androids, the mallet android is a rare combat type.

They possess immense strength and formidable individual combat abilities, and are adept at using various types of blunt weapons in battle.

There are no fancy techniques, only the purest aesthetics of violence.

For this reason, even the most radical Imperial officers would not rashly order their men to engage the Hammer Homunculus in a direct confrontation.

After all, even when facing giant zombies, the Hammer Homunculus can easily smash them into a pile of mud.

In addition, if you want to improve the basic military skills of your plant spirit warriors as quickly as possible in a short period of time, then a strict and professional instructor is indispensable.

Activating a Hammer Homunculus would be the best option for the current situation in Garden 5905.

They can take on a hundred men on the battlefield, and even more so, they can teach the plant warriors how to "survive" in the simplest way on the training ground.

The trainees' bodies and minds are tempered through real combat, and the absolute sense of oppression from "death" is deeply engraved into the memory and marrow of every plant warrior.

It is believed that after activating the Wooden Hammer Android, combined with the training ground, the plant warriors in courtyard 5905 will receive an unprecedented and significant boost.

"The Hammer Homunculus... To be honest, Dabo, the target I want to activate this time is the Hammer Homunculus."

Mo Chen shrugged, indicating that he also intended to activate the wooden hammer android.

"What Courtyard 5905 is currently lacking is high-end combat power, and the Wooden Hammer Android just meets our needs."

It's worth noting that among all the tool androids currently available for activation in the War Court, the Hammer android's combat power is definitely among the top three.

The addition of a tireless, naturally strong warrior who can also serve as an instructor will undoubtedly enhance the overall strength of one's own backyard.

"That's great, then I don't need to waste my breath trying to persuade you to think it over carefully."

Hearing what Mo Chen said, Xiao Da's mood improved considerably, and the troubles she had been experiencing due to various problems vanished.

Mo Chen let out a long sigh and turned to walk towards the elevator: "Let's go back to the community tree first. I still have a lot of things to deal with. This rooftop battlefield is empty and not very nice. Instead of staying here in the cold wind, I'd rather go down and have a cup of hot tea to warm myself up."

"Okay, what kind of tea would you like? I'll make it for you."

"Do you have any herbal tea? Just don't let me have insomnia tonight."

······

When Mo Chen returned to the community tree, Xiao Da had already brewed a pot of steaming chrysanthemum tea.

Taking the teacup and taking a small sip, Mo Chen noticed a brand-new bill on the table out of the corner of his eye.

"what is this?"

"This? Oh, I forgot to tell you earlier, Norman and his group hired a Class B mercenary group to escort the convoy in the university area. As for this bill, it's a preliminary breakdown of the hiring costs that we confirmed after a brief negotiation with them."

Upon hearing this, Mo Chen immediately became interested and picked up the bill to examine it carefully.

Norman, representing Courtyard 5905, commissioned the mercenary group "Heavy Front" to escort the convoy back to the courtyard from the gathering place.

Since the hiring period is less than a day, the payment is based on the number of people (those involved in the commission), and the mercenary group's fuel consumption is also covered.

"Forty-five mercenaries, five officers, a captain and a vice-captain, totaling about three million, which is a fair price."

Generally speaking, if you need mercenaries, purchasing their services through the "official channels" provided by Modern International is the safest option.

By posting a commission through Modern International, a legitimate mercenary group can accept the order. The employer then negotiates with the leader of the mercenary group to confirm the details of the commission and the hiring fee.

During this period, Modern International will act as a third-party present to verify the validity of the transaction between the two parties and to handle any follow-up issues.

The above is a standard and legally protected employment process. Under this model, Modern International will deduct at least 10% of the remuneration paid by the employer as a security deposit.

The advantage is that responsibilities and rights are clearly defined. If a dispute arises between the employer and employee, Modern International will intervene to mediate and fairly provide appropriate compensation to the party whose interests have been harmed.

"The price is fair. The only regret is that Norman did not go through Modern International's commission, but instead approached this mercenary group directly for the transaction through Bellenko's introduction."

Xiao Da's words immediately made Mo Chen realize the problem.

Transactions that bypass official channels are not protected by law, and if any risks arise, Courtyard No. 5905 will have to bear the consequences itself.

"What if they ask for an exorbitant price? Wouldn't we be the ones who suffer?"

"Theoretically, that's correct. However, this mercenary group is registered under Modern International and has a good reputation. They also perfectly protected the convoy's safety during the mission."

Xiao Da picked up her teacup and slowly blew on it: "The hiring fee they proposed is in line with the standards set by Modern International, and there is no deliberate price gouging."

With clear accounts, transparent procedures, and both parties satisfied, Mo Chen didn't say much more.

He put down the bill and earnestly instructed, "Next time you buy mercenary services, you must go through official channels. You were lucky this time to find a reliable mercenary group, but you might not be so lucky next time."

"clear."

Xiao Da took the bill and couldn't resist pressing the issue, saying, "I remember you said before, Mo Chen, that you wanted to purchase mercenary services from Modern International. Why don't you take a look at Chongfeng this time?"

Mo Chen nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of curiosity and anticipation: "Alright, show me the detailed information about this mercenary group."

Not long after, Xiao Da sent information and images about Chong Feng to Mo Chen's personal terminal.

"Greyus, the Greatsword Celery Plant Spirit with sixth-tier Plant Spirit power, leader of the Heavy Edge Guild; Feng Ye, the Maple Shadow Swordsman Plant Spirit with seventh-tier Plant Spirit power, vice-leader of the Heavy Edge Guild..."

Upon seeing the information about the two leaders, Mo Chen's eyes lit up.

If we could recruit them to join Courtyard No. 5905, wouldn't that add two more high-end combatants?

Excited, Mo Chen continued reading, his gaze landing on the name of one of the key cadres.

"Nono, a Sun Mushroom plant spirit with fourth-tier plant spirit power, captain of the Heavy Edge Third Team and team medic..."

Discovering a rare Sunshine Mushroom was a pleasant surprise for Mo Chen.

Now, I have another reason to convince myself to establish a long-term partnership with Chongfeng.

As for the footage, it was taken by Norman on his return journey, recording the heroic spirit of the Heavy Edge mercenaries in battle.

With its leaders providing excellent command and members working in perfect harmony, it's no wonder that Chongfeng, established only a few years ago, was rated a "B-level" mercenary group by Modern International.

After downing the tea in his cup, Mo Chen couldn't help but ponder how to bring that mercenary group under his command.

"Dabao, what do you think the chances of success are if we directly extend an olive branch to Chongfeng and invite them to join Courtyard No. 5905?"
