Chapter 2277: Chapter 1139: Exiled Talents (Part 2)

I have to say, it’s actually quite lively here.

Wherever there are people, there’s the martial arts world. Similarly, there’ll be a market, after all, with so many witches gathered together, each possessing unique techniques, their purchasing power is quite strong. No merchant would give up such a massive market. Naturally, various supporting facilities have to keep up.

Of course, wherever there’s commerce, there’s the Golden Country.

"Tsk, you really can see those glittering golden signs everywhere, huh?"

Dorothy looked at the emblem of the Radiant Dragon that could be seen everywhere and couldn’t help but complain.

Shops displaying this emblem either have a background with the Golden Country or have received support from it, which makes one marvel at the terrifying influence of the Golden Country.

It truly holds the economic lifeline of the Witch World.

And at the thought of this, Dorothy turned her head to look at Senior Mia next to her.

Although nowadays there probably won’t be any internal members of the Golden Country to bother her, this doesn’t mean she’s guaranteed to pass the Golden Trial. After all, once the Golden Trial begins, it cannot be stopped. There’s only success or failure to choose from.

And once, the Golden Princess was second only to one person in the Golden Country, but now her former authority has transformed into a terrifying obstacle. Senior Mia must rely on her own strength to climb back to the p1 level to complete the assessment.

However, the more Dorothy understands about the financial strength of the Golden Country, the more she realizes how prominent Senior Mia’s former status was and how difficult the trial she has to undergo is.

Even though Stars Industry has now proven capable of manufacturing Legendary Battleships and already has the capital to join the ranks of leading military guilds, ensuring Senior can return to p1 is challenging even with such benefits.

After all, the previous Golden Princess Ship was completed by the Shipbuilding Workshop of the entire Dragon Kingdom under Lord Arthur’s command, and the cooperation has ended. With Stars Industry’s current real capabilities, completing a Legendary Battleship within a month is impossible; finishing one in one or two years would require working to the point of exhaustion.

And this production capacity could barely bring Senior Mia back to the p3 level before Senior Fanny’s annihilation of the world in 50 years. P2 is difficult, let alone p1.

So.....

"Indeed, we must think of a way to conquer the Intelligent Mechanic Desolation."

Dorothy thought to herself.

The feature of increasing Awakening Spirit probability in the Intelligent Mechanic Wilderness World is too important for shipbuilding. Capturing this special world means the mass production of Legendary Battleships, which is quite frightening.

If Legendary Battleships could be produced as crazily as dumplings, not only would the strength of the Witch World expand rapidly, but Stars Industry’s profitability would also become terrifying. Although surpassing the Golden Country, with its minting rights, is not guaranteed, helping Senior Mia pass the Golden Trial wouldn’t be difficult.

Meanwhile, the Golden Princess naturally heard the sigh of her beloved.

In the past, she would certainly raise her head proudly, but nowadays, she also feels that terrifying pressure.

Some things are only appreciated once lost, while others are only understood as terrifying once left behind.

Mia was born with a golden key, as the sole daughter of the Golden Country’s mistress, having whatever she desired. Her takeover of the business was smooth sailing, just needing to instruct with a word, and countless people would help her resolve other troubles, ultimately delivering what she needed to her hands, quality assured.

And now, after participating in the Golden Trial and losing all her past privileges, she finally realized business was not that simple.

With the two major problems of supply and customers aside, forming her team already caused her plenty of headaches.

Previously, she could just select people directly from the Golden Country’s talent pool, where anyone eligible was not only talented but also unquestionably loyal and capable.

Now, recruiting a useful subordinate felt almost like playing a card drawing game, with a despairingly low yield, and the ground was littered with slackers and mediocres. Of course, capable talents existed, but Mia couldn’t hire them with the few resources she had.

To entice someone to change jobs, you need to offer better treatment and help them handle breach issues with their old employer, requiring a significant amount of financial reserves and a professional legal team.

Moreover, it’s not only about better treatment; you must offer grand promises, convincing them of a brighter future with you, as people are always striving upwards.

The Golden Country’s talent pool is so well-stocked precisely because everybody knows the power of this golden sign in the business world; given a chance to enter the Golden Country—even as the lowest odd job worker—many talents would scramble for the opportunity, gladly working at a loss and even bringing their own food supplies.

In short, starting from scratch is incredibly difficult.

Fortunately, she wasn’t alone after all.

Senior Mia also turned to her beloved, showing a gentle and trusting smile.

Her title as the fallen Golden Princess couldn’t impress anyone, but the title of the young lady was naturally a significant allure. The rapid assembly of the transport team behind her was thanks to Dorothy’s reputation, especially her terrifying rallying power among young witches.

Indeed, seasoned industry talents are hard to poach, but newly graduated talents with dreams can be recruited with mere promises, though drawing up a convincing picture for these talented yet young individuals wasn’t easy.

"Little Fairy, we will succeed, and our Stars Industry’s brand will soon be all over the market."

Mia held her beloved’s hand, speaking confidently.

In response, Dorothy nodded affirmatively.

Since Senior trusts her this much, even if the homebody witch isn’t confident, she’ll put in her best effort. Family Knights are like this: lazy during ordinary times but capable of anything for family.

Thus, the group straightened their mood and began browsing the market’s goods, unaware of what they’d find—quite surprised after taking a look.

Various hazardous materials and weapons, strictly controlled within the Inner World, were indeed everywhere here, significantly broadening the horizons of these newly adult witches, who had been protected under "Teen Mode," exclaiming that this must be the adult world, thrilling indeed.

Though they’re just browsing for novelty, as the goods here, while dangerous, aren’t particularly exceptional, far below the high grade of equipment Dorothy herself crafts.

The group just looked without buying, irritating some shop owners watching them, eager to fleece young and fat lambs, leaving them grinding their teeth.

Such customers are the most unpleasant.

Yet, the frontline market isn’t only about buying and selling dangerous items, but also engaging in other transactions, like the slavery.....

Ahem, it’s the Era of the Demon Lord, promoting civility; no slaves—all civilized people. It’s called exiled talent adoption.

Of course, no matter how beautifully you present some things, their essence remains known to those who understand.

Dorothy looked at the groups of "exiled talents" caged by the witches, frowning slightly, but she was helpless as well.

Not only her, Senior Fanny, who had been lively while shopping earlier, suddenly fell silent, like a volcano about to erupt, but the homebody witch could feel her hair being pulled by tentacles inside her hat.

The scene was intolerable for the already frenzied Senior.

"Ah, nothing good to browse anymore, time to leave."

The homebody witch sighed, suddenly losing interest in the market, saying to her sisters.

Just as she turned to leave, she squinted her eyes.

Oh, this, within the exiled talents, there truly were talents.

...Homebody witch surprised....
