《fall into darkness》Chapter 32: Gathering of Nobles

"I read that right, the extra material cost is 30%? Isn't that three times ours?!"
"Look, the duration of the temporary residence permit is actually ten years!"
"Wow, I knew this earlier, I have to study and exercise hard for the past three years without eating or sleeping!"
Mei, Sha, and Zha shouted enviously.
Their screams immediately attracted the attention of other children around them, and they gathered around them. When they saw the welfare clauses in the contract, they were all envious, secretly regretting the three years of special training, and they were not working hard enough.
When Noni next to him saw Du Dian, her brows were slightly wrinkled, "I actually chose the Mellon consortium, does this little guy know something?"
Rorian, who was standing behind her, heard the words of Macon and others, and felt a little uncomfortable, and said to Noni: "Why is his contract benefit so high? My endurance score is second, and comprehensive knowledge score is third. Not much."
Noni looked back at him and smiled sweetly: "It's been like this in all dynasties, the first place will always get preferential treatment."
Rorian's face was ugly. In the past three years of special training, the top five of them competed with each other and regarded each other as opponents. Therefore, seeing Du Dian received such preferential treatment, he was inevitably a little dissatisfied and jealous. The cost of extracting materials was high. 10% of him is nothing, mainly because of the ten-year temporary residence permit in the commercial district, which is really enviable.
"Boy, don't be unconvinced. Although your grades are excellent, this little guy named Du Di'an has performed extremely well in every big test. What we really care about is the performance in the practice test. Rumor and stamina are useless, if you can't use it in practice, it's wasted." At this time, the previous man smiled lightly.
Hearing his words, Rorian's face became even more ugly.
Noni snorted coldly and said, "You should worry about yourself. Don't even recruit a top five scorer. Let's see how you will explain to your boss when you go back."
The man frowned and turned his head away, not arguing with the woman.
"Are you satisfied with this contract?" The elegant man from the Mellon consortium looked at the people gathered, with a bit of joy in his eyes, and asked Du Di'an gently.

Du Dian quickly glanced at the terms of the contract, pondered for a moment, and said: "It says that every three months, you must obey the arrangement of the consortium and go out to "scavenge waste". In addition, you must stay in the consortium for the rest of the time. Accept special training, can this be modified? "
The elegant man was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Du Di'an was not moved immediately in the face of such generous benefits, but negotiated. He was strange in his heart, but he kept a smile on his face and said, "If you think that once every three months is too tight, You can do it every four months, that's the limit."
Du Dian shook his head and said: "There is no problem with once every three months. I mean, can I assign the rest of the time to me?"
The elegant man hesitated for a moment and said, "This, I want to ask the above. Generally speaking, special training must be accepted, especially if you are the target of seed cultivation..."
"Hey, little guy, their Mellon consortium doesn't give it, our Huasheng consortium can." At this time, another burly middle-aged man laughed.
The elegant man's face changed slightly, and said angrily: "Burton, you are fouling!"
"Why don't I think so?" Another mature woman said with a smile: "Our Green Consortium can also accept this Mr. Du's conditions."
The elegant man's face changed, he gritted his teeth, and said to Du Di'an: "Okay, I promise you!"
Du Di'an breathed a sigh of relief and thanked the two secretly in his heart.
"The contract will be revised and given to you when you return to the consortium." The elegant man said to Du Di'an, "I didn't take the blessing of God with me. I will give it to you when I return to the consortium. You stand behind me and wait. Come back with me later."
Du Dian nodded slightly.
Seeing that the other consortiums are a foregone conclusion, they can only give up regretfully, but the former burly middle-aged man still did not give up: "Little guy, if they go back and breach the contract, you can come to our Huasheng Consortium, and my words will always be valid. !"
The elegant man looked at him angrily, "Burton, you are a slander!"

The burly middle-aged man shrugged, turned around, and continued to win over the other students.
The elegant man snorted coldly, his eyes fell on Macon and the others, his expression eased, and he said, "Are you two together?"
Macon nodded again and again and said, "Yeah... Can you improve our welfare?"
The elegant man was speechless and said helplessly: "It really can't be changed, it's all rules."
Macon looked up and saw that there were no other consortiums competing to help him drive up his worth. He couldn't help being disappointed and said, "Okay."
The elegant man couldn't help but be excited when he saw his move.
Soon, everyone was divided up by the seven consortiums and the military. Each consortium led the students they recruited to take their own carriages outside the school grounds to the headquarters of the consortium.
Du Di'an and others lifted the curtain and looked at the school field behind the carriage, feeling a little sad and reluctant. The sweat swept here in the past three years, and the experience of falling and getting up again and again, are like a microcosm of each scene, forever imprinted on it. in their memory.
"goodbye……"
The carriage galloped away and came to the bustling area. Pedestrians on the road saw the flags planted on these carriages and hurriedly avoided one by one, for fear of blocking them.
After a while, several carriages of the Mellon consortium stopped in front of a bustling street. The elegant man jumped from the carriage and entered a huge high-rise building on the side of the road. After a while, seven or eight young men emerged from the high-rise building. Girl, come to the carriage, open the car door, and say to the people in the car: "Everyone, please."
The children in the car looked at these white and tender girls and were at a loss for a while.
When Du Di'an got off the carriage, he saw the elegant man running straight over, with a smile on his face, and said, "Come with me and take you to go through the identity formalities." After speaking, he turned and led the way in front.
Du Di'an immediately followed, and Macon and others saw this and followed Du Di'an.
The people in the other carriages, led by the girls, followed behind.
"After claiming your identity, you are the members of the Mellon Consortium. From now on, you will enjoy the benefits of the Mellon Consortium and obey the rules of the Mellon Consortium." The elegant man led the road in front and said, "Dian, you It is the seed target of this session, there is a noble party tonight, you can come and meet the upper-class celebrities in the business district, these people are also members of the various families of our Mellon consortium, and they are your and my bosses.”
Du Dian was stunned and asked, "Can you not go?"
The elegant man turned his head in surprise and said, "Why?"
"I want to go back and see my parents first." Du Di'an said.
The elegant man came to his senses, with some admiration in his eyes, and said, "Understandable, but seeing as your parents are not in a hurry, this is a rare opportunity, no one else wants to participate, and besides meeting those nobles, there are also "hunters" "Master is present, if you can win the favor of any hunter, I believe that the future is boundless. "
"Hunter?" Du Dian was stunned, and immediately thought of the two of Fino three years ago. The fact that he was taken to the hunter to test the castle should be a secret and not spread. However, it now seems that although the identity of the hunter is secret, it is only for ordinary people and guards, and it is not a secret for scavengers.
"Okay." Du Dian agreed.
Mei, Sha, and Zha said enviously, "You brat, why are all good things falling on your head, you're so jealous of me."
"No, you must let Dean treat you back!" Zach suggested.
"Agree!" Sham immediately agreed.
Du Dian rolled his eyes and ignored them.
"By the way, what is a hunter?" Macon asked curiously.
The elegant man smiled slightly and said, "You will know it in the future. Well, you can register here." When he came to the counter in the hall, a beautiful woman was greeted inside, and he said to Du Di'an, "Come with me. ." After that, take Du Di'an to leave alone.
