Chapter 180 Angel Investor——Mrs. Theresa
Red Beard Tavern~
“Mercede, are you lying to people again?”
The tavern owner Red Beard wiped his hands The wine glass looked unsurprised when he saw Mercedes walking out of the space door.
“How can this be called cheating!”
Mercede sat across from Red Beard in a majestic manner, and said with a smile: "This is called asking rookies to pay tuition. Anyway, they are all being cheated. It would be better to be cheated by me, Lao Mei. At least I only seek wealth and not life." < br>
Red Beard shook his head: "There are so many falsehoods, but you have to be careful and be careful not to encounter hard problems."
"Don't worry~"
Mercedes He waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "I'm just looking at people's choices, and I only choose people with good personalities. Even if I get caught, I'll just have to pay the money, and I won't lose my life. What's more, I, Lao Mei, am a space magician. Who can Can you catch me?"
"Quickly, give me a glass of hell's blood. I just made 1,000 yuan, so I can spend a lot of time with you."
"Okay, ready soon!"
Red Beard turned around and carefully mixed the special mixed wine, while Mercedes leisurely crossed his legs and looked left and right to see if there was anyone bragging. object.
At this moment, a faint laughter came from behind.
“Consultant Mercedes, are you looking for me?”
In an instant, Mercedes’ body stiffened, and then, he twisted his neck mechanically and saw the corner of his mouth. The smiling young face, and the expressionless muscular man next to him.
"Haha, Su Mo, what a coincidence, I meet you here again."
A look of embarrassment flashed across Mercedes' face.
Su Mo sat next to him, put one hand on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Unfortunately, I came here specifically to find you."
"I didn't expect you, Lao Mei. He is actually a space magician, and his talent is very good~"
There are many schools of magicians, such as elemental mage, battle mage, summoning mage, etc. Under each school, there are at least hundreds of minor magicians. branch.
Among these vast and complex magic systems, some branches test the talent of the magician.
Not talented enough, not even qualified to practice.
Among them is the space magic practiced by Mercedes.
Space is undoubtedly the most complex, mysterious, and difficult to understand among all elements, and its equal name is time.
But so far, I have only heard that some cosmic treasures have the ability to change time. In addition, even the God King Magician cannot touch the time domain.
Therefore, Mercede can become a space magician, and he is also a commander-level space magician, and his talent is evident.
I just don’t know why such a person would become a well-known deceiver.
Pa~
At this time, Redbeard placed the mixed hell blood in front of Mercedes, with a playful look in his eyes, as if to say, this time he encountered a hard problem, right?
“Ahem, Su Mo, you misunderstood me.”
Mercedes pushed the Blood of Hell in front of Su Mo with a serious look on his face: "I just wanted to bring you a cup of my favorite special cocktail, that's it, the Blood of Hell."
" This is the signature of the Red Beard Tavern. You can only buy it here. I wanted to go back quickly and wait for the wine to be mixed before taking it back to the Oak Tavern, but I didn’t expect you to come here.”
"Really? Then I have to try it."
Su Mo picked up the wine glass and took a sip gently. It was soft and refreshing, and the taste was slightly sweet. The overall feeling is quite good.
After drinking the blood of hell, Su Mo nodded with satisfaction: "This wine is indeed pretty good."
"Yeah, haha~"
Lao Mei smiled, the corners of her eyes twitching slightly.
The wine worth 30 innars, if you drank it in one gulp, it is simply a waste of money.
He finally figured it out. The boy in front of him was not a little sheep at all, but a little fox in sheep's clothing. He was very clever.
But then again, how did Su Mo find me?
Could it be that he left some spiritual mark on me?
Mercedes quietly used his mental power to explore every inch of his body, but found nothing.
No?
Hey, I still don’t believe it, my Mercedes can be manipulated by a little rookie like you.
“Su Mo~”
Mercedes looked serious: "Thank you for thinking so highly of me, but I am the wind of freedom and will never be bound by the outside world. Goodbye."
After saying that, Mercedes' body trembled. His eyes quickly lost their luster.
For about a second, his body seemed to be petrified and turned into a gray stone statue.
Seeing this, Su Mo raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Pooh, what's this trick?"
Pooh said: "The puppet clone technique is commonly used by magicians."
The puppet clone technique is interesting!
The corner of Su Mo's mouth raised. He was not in a hurry to find Mercedes. Instead, he ordered two special drinks from Red Beard. He and Mondo had one each and sat at the bar to savor it.
Seeing this, Redbeard couldn't help but sigh.
Mercedes, you may be in trouble this time.
…………
“Hmph, you still want to find me and dream about me.”
Mercedes walked swaggering down the street. Not only did she change her clothes, but she also exuded a strong perfume. taste.
Since Su Mo did not plant a spiritual mark on himself, it is very likely that he tracked it through some physical means.
The first thing that comes to mind is the smell.
Therefore, he changed all his clothes and sprayed on strong perfume. Sure enough, after more than an hour, Su Mo really didn't come after him.
Hmph, you still want to fight me, but you are far behind~
Mercede smiled proudly.
"Lao Mei, you are a man, and you wear such a strong perfume."
Suddenly, a slightly disgusted voice sounded in my ears.
Mercedes paused, turned his head stiffly, and saw the tall and short duo again.
"Why, what gift do you want to bring me this time?"
Su Mo walked forward with a smile and put his arm around Mercedes' shoulders affectionately.
Mercedes' expression was stiff and his voice was dry:
"How did you do it?"
He really didn't understand how Su Mo could accurately find himself in a city with a population of hundreds of millions. There was no mental imprint and the smell was masked.
“Well, it’s a secret~”
Su Mo smiled slightly: “Anyway, remember, anyone marked by me will never escape my grasp.”
Hearing this, Mercedes was extremely serious: "You are really suitable to be a bounty hunter."
Su Mo shrugged: "This is also one of the businesses of the Holy Light Mercenary Group."< br>
"Okay, I admit defeat!"
Mercedes raised his hands and surrendered: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Failed twice, there is no need to struggle. .
Furthermore, he could feel that Su Mo valued him very much, which made him feel warmer inside, and he was willing to calm down and have a good chat with this young man.
“This is not the place to talk.”
Su Mo pointed to the tavern next to him and said with a smile: "Let's go, I'll buy you a drink and we'll chat while drinking."
…………
"Oh, 50 euros Naer’s cup of elven nectar.”
Mercede took a sip and her eyes lit up: “Sure enough, there is nothing bad about the elves~”
Su Mo also tasted it. A mouthful of elf nectar tastes sweet and refreshing, and at the same time can bring some moisture to the soul. It is expensive for a reason.
"Lao Mei, let me get straight to the point."
Su Mo put down the crystal cup and said seriously: "If I want to develop the mercenary group to the level of six super first-line mercenary groups, what should I do first? ?”
“Cough~”
Mercedes almost choked on the elf nectar in her mouth, and she swallowed it without wasting a drop.
“Ahem, Su Mo, your goal is a bit high~”
Mercedes said in a strange tone.
The Holy Light Mercenary Group now only has three members, so it dreams of becoming one of the six major mercenary groups.
Are all newbies in the new era so reckless?
“Of course the goal must be set higher.” Su Mo smiled slightly.
As a glorious cheat, his goal has always been to become a powerful God King and reach the top of the universe step by step.
As for the super first-line mercenary army, it is just his five to seven years plan.
“Uh, okay~”
Mercedes did not immediately dampen Su Mo’s enthusiasm, but actually helped him analyze it, and through analysis, made him quit before the difficulties. .
“Let’s put it this way, the start of any force cannot be separated from the support of talents and funds. Talents aside, how much initial funds can you use now.”
Su Mo was vague. For a moment: "Tens of thousands of innars."
Tens of thousands of innars?
Mercede took a deep look at Su Mo and said: "Tens of thousands of Innars is a small amount of wealth for an individual, but if it is used to develop power, I am afraid it is not enough."
“The six major mercenary legions were already well-known in the Chaotic Star Territory before they came to Zatanvi. When the Space Mercenary Alliance established a branch on Zatanvi, they were all without exception. , they directly rented a large piece of land and quickly built a city, attracting a large number of mercenaries to settle in. After developing step by step, they moved their base to the armed satellite fortress outside Zatanvi."
"Your money is not too much, not too little. I suggest you first go to the cities of the six major mercenary legions to establish strongholds. There are many excellent mercenaries gathered there, which will make it easier for you to recruit talents. In addition, In addition, security is also guaranteed. In their territory, no one dares to kill people casually. "
"Of course, there are also disadvantages, that is, development is limited, there is no territorial taxation, and you can only accumulate wealth by doing tasks. "After hearing this analysis, Su Mo frowned and asked, "How much does it cost to rent a piece of land on Zatanwei?"
Compared to developing on other people's territory, he prefers to be a lord himself.
Mercede: "Look at the location. The rent for a good location is 100,000 Inar or even higher. In a remote location, it can also cost 20,000 to 30,000 Inar, but this is only a year's rent. Generally speaking, Next, you need to pay rent for at least three years.”
Three years?
Su Mo frowned deeper.
Even if he can afford to pay rent for three years, he is basically penniless. How will he recruit talents and build his territory in the future?
For the first time since time travel, he was stumped by money.
“Lao Mei, do you think I can get a loan from the bank?” Su Mo asked.
Mercedes shook his head: "You have just registered as a mercenary, your credit score is very low, and you have no fixed assets. No bank dares to lend you a loan."
Hearing this, Su He shook his head helplessly.
He finally understood the feelings of those entrepreneurs in his previous life.
People who really need money cannot get loans.
For companies with abundant cash flow, banks are begging you for loans.
"But..."
At this time, Mercedes changed the subject: "If you really want to take this path, I have a method worth trying."< br>
"What can I do?" Su Mo's eyes lit up.
Mercedes smiled and said: "There is a famous angel investor in the Mercenary City, named Madam Teresa. She has a vicious vision. She has invested in many new mercenaries and eventually became famous big shots. , For example, four of the six mercenary legions all received large investments from Madam Teresa when they first arrived on Zatanvi, which allowed them to develop rapidly."
"If you. If you can be favored by Madame Theresa, then at least you don’t have to worry about the starting capital.”
Mrs. Theresa?
Su Mo secretly said: "Pooh, check this person."
"Okay!"
Soon, Pooh gave a reply: "There is indeed such a Madam Teresa, who is known for her love of investing in new people and her sharp vision. She has a high reputation throughout Zatanvi. And he has close contacts with the four major mercenary legions."
Su Mo's eyes flickered and he said, "Lao Mei, can you let me meet Madam Theresa?"
Mercede smiled. He said, "I have a relationship with Madam Teresa's housekeeper. It's not a big problem to introduce you to her, but as for whether you can succeed, you can only rely on yourself."
To be honest, after experiencing the incident just now, Later, he became very interested in Su Mo.
A rookie mercenary actually let him, a veteran, fall into trouble twice in a row.
He holds a lot of wealth in his hands, and his goals are surprisingly high.
And, he could see from Su Mo's eyes that this boy was really confident that he could reach the heights of the six mercenary legions.
Meeting such an interesting new person, he doesn't mind using his personal relationship.
If Su Mo can't catch Madam Theresa's eyes, this person will most likely be like that, and it's not worth his continued trouble.
But if Su Mo can really attract Madam's investment, then... it would be interesting.
“I’ll contact you.”
Mercedes’ consciousness sank into the virtual network. Not long after, he smiled and said:
“You are lucky, Madam today I’m about to meet a few new people, and I’ve already informed the housekeeper to add you in.”
“Okay, thank you, Lao Mei!”
Su Mo was looking forward to it.
…………
A few hours later, Mercedes brought Su Mo and Mondo to a manor in the southwest area of the mercenary city.
The Southwest District is a famous wealthy area in the city, where every inch of land is very valuable.
Mrs. Teresa's manor is located in the center of the rich area and covers the largest area. This shows her astonishing wealth.
When they arrived in front of the manor, several Rock Tribe bodyguards blocked the way for the three of them.
"We are members of the Holy Light Mercenary Group. This is our group leader Su Mo. We have made an appointment before." Merced said politely.
The bodyguard checked the reservation list, then carefully looked at the faces of Su Mo and the other three, nodded and said:
"Okay, you can go in."
After saying that, the usher behind the bodyguard took the three people into the car and drove smoothly towards the gothic-like white castle ahead.
After entering the castle, a man in a straight uniform and meticulously styled hair came over, with a smile on his serious face:
"Mercede, long time no see."
< br>"Foggy, 20 years have passed, and you really haven't changed at all." Merced smiled.
Foggy looked at Mercedes and suddenly sighed:
“But you have changed a lot.”
Mercedes knew what Foggy meant, and his eyes darkened.
“Let’s not talk about the past.”
Butler Foji patted Mercedes on the shoulder, then looked at Su Mo and Mondo, and said politely:
“ Madam is receiving guests, please follow me to the living room and wait for a while."
"Excuse me~"
Su Mo said politely.
…………
When the door of the living room was pushed open, the five groups of people inside immediately turned their heads to look.
“Another competitor has arrived.”
“Is that a Monlite?”
Everyone's thoughts were spinning as they silently watched Su Mo and others take their seats.
At the same time, Su Mo was also looking at them secretly.
The eight-armed Naga tribe, the burly man with four corners on his head, the red-haired female with three eyes...
Through the [Eye of Insight], you can see inside these people The majestic power contained in it is at least B level or above.
“This brother, I am Gurrett, the leader of the Black Arrow Mercenary Group.”
At this time, the four-cornered man stood up, walked to Su Mo, stretched out his hand and said, "What do you call me?"
Su Mo stood up, held his hand, and said calmly: "Servant of the Holy Light" Corps, Su Mo. "
Holy Light Mercenary Group~
Gurett used the intelligent optical brain to search for this name on the cosmic mercenary system and quickly found the result. There was a strange look in his eyes.
It can be seen from the system that the Holy Light Mercenary Group was just established a few hours ago. There are only two pitiful people. The leader is Su Mo in front of him, codenamed Holy Light.
This kind of newly formed rookie mercenary group actually has a chance to enter Madam Theresa's manor?
The four waves of people on the side also checked the information of the Holy Light Mercenary Group and immediately lost interest.
Although I don’t know how the Holy Light Mercenary Group obtained the tickets, it is hard to say whether a team of only two people will be able to receive the mission, so it is not worth taking it seriously.
"Haha, brother Su Mo, I hope we can all get Madam's investment."
Gurett smiled and said politely, then let go of his hand and returned to his seat. I have no intention of continuing the conversation.
Although his Black Arrow mercenary group is not a big force, it has at least hundreds of members and has completed 30 missions with a mission completion rate of 100%.
It was with such merit that he was able to enter Madame Theresa's manor.
For a grassroots team like the Holy Light Mercenary Group, they are not even qualified to meet him. Being able to say a few polite words is already a great face to the other party.
"Su Mo, it seems like you have been underestimated?"
Mercedes sent a message to Su Mo's brain, which was full of ridicule.
Su Mo looked calm and replied: "It's normal. The current Holy Light Mercenary Group is indeed very weak."
Weak people will of course be looked down upon.
It’s just that he is not the kind of person who immediately leaps to his feet after being looked down upon, threatening to come back with a slap in the face.
Dignity is achieved through strength. With strength, those who once looked down upon you will shut up without you taking action.
Zhi~~
At this time, the room was pushed open, and several hairy humans wearing armor walked in, with disappointment on their faces.
They failed~
Seeing this expression, everyone in the room was both happy and a little nervous.
“Black Arrow Mercenary Group, it’s your turn!” the butler reminded.
“Yes!”
Gurrett and the members around him stood up, looked at each other nervously, gathered themselves, and walked to Madam Theresa's study.
Only five minutes passed before Gurrett returned with his men, looking lost.
Obviously, they did not get Madam Theresa’s investment.
"Charming Mercenary Group, get ready~"
"Yes!"
Several Nagas stood up and left in anticipation. A few minutes later, they returned disappointed.
Twenty minutes later, except for Su Mo’s group, everyone in the room met with Madam Theresa, but none of them succeeded.
Finally, it was the turn of the Holy Light Mercenary Group.
“Holy Light Mercenary Group, get ready.”
Butler Foji took a deep look at Su Mo. Can the newcomer who can interest Mercedes be attracted by Mrs. What do you like?
Holy Light Mercenary Group, haha~
Everyone in the room smiled disdainfully. Even these famous mercenary groups have failed. Why are you, a rookie mercenary group with only two members, joining in the fun?
I don’t know how high the sky is!
Under the sarcastic and mocking gaze, Su Mo led Mondo and Mercedes into Madam Theresa's study.
