801: Chapter 801 Offering
"Good!" Caesar nodded and took the card. The card then immediately disappeared as he placed it directly into his storage space.
Seeing this, the manager's eyes shifted slightly, realizing that Caesar actually possessed a storage treasure.
This person's background is not small!
Even if he didn't have any background, his own strength definitely could not be underestimated.
Although storage treasures in this world were not exactly rampant, they were not something that any random small fry could possess.
Either you have strength, or you have a background.
Regardless of which it was, the manager felt that the step of befriending the other party was correct!
The Black Gold Chamber of Commerce always valued harmony, aiming to make as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible.
"What do you need to know?" Seeing Caesar accept it, the manager smiled slightly and then asked Caesar.
"Everything, including a lot of basic common knowledge; I need it all to see if my understanding is correct. Also, the situation outside, the situation in Black Stone City, the situation in other places, the people in power, and so on," Caesar asked the manager.
"That would be quite a long story... But it doesn't matter; it's boring on the road, and two days of time is enough." The manager smiled slightly and then began to chat with Caesar.
From time to time, Caesar would also ask questions he wanted to know or some extended questions.
The manager answered them one by one, very patiently.
As they talked, Caesar's understanding of this world gradually became clear.
According to the knowledge he had obtained from the Cross-World Group.
This world had professionals; these were beings that, like the royalty and nobility, belonged to the upper echelon of society.
Of course, that is provided you are a high-level professional.
Low-level professionals were still in the lower class, though of course, even the lowest class was much better than the "mud-legged" peasants. After all, no matter what, professionals ultimately wielded power.
Power was the root of everything.
Professionals who possessed power were naturally and inherently superior to others.
Secondly, Caesar was currently in the territory of a place called the Kingdom of Kaso.
The Black Gold Chamber of Commerce was one of the top chambers of commerce in the Kingdom of Kaso, and its influence even spanned several kingdoms.
It could be said that Caesar had hit the jackpot, getting the help of such a top-tier power right from the start.
This would be of great help to his activities in this world.
It had to be said that Caesar's luck was still very good.
"I don't know what you have learned?" the manager asked curiously. "I am not prying into your secrets; I mean, what is your professional system?"
"According to the classifications of the outside world, I should belong to the Magic Swordsman class. I am good at using a sword, but my swordsmanship contains elemental power," Caesar said to the manager.
Hearing this, the manager's eyes immediately lit up.
A Magic Swordsman!
A top-tier professional!
And looking at Caesar, it was clear that his strength was not bad either—a talented Magic Swordsman!
He had found a treasure! The manager could no longer suppress his joy, his face beaming with a smile like a blooming chrysanthemum.
His attitude toward Caesar became even more enthusiastic.
"A Magic Swordsman! That is truly great! If you ask me, Brother Caesar, you might as well join our Black Gold Chamber of Commerce. Our Black Gold Chamber of Commerce values talent above all else!"
"Becoming a retainer of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce not only means countless resources tilted in your favor, but you also have the entire Black Gold Chamber of Commerce as your backing! Moreover, as a retainer, you are generally free. The Black Gold Chamber of Commerce will only come to invite you when needed, and they will pay an extra fee for your services! The retainer fee is paid monthly! These are two different things!" the manager said to Caesar.
He laid out all sorts of conditions extremely well, with full benefits.
It could be said that it was no wonder the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce could grow so large.
At the very least, they were very good to the people below them. Looking at the loyal appearance of the guards and the overall discipline, it was clear that the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce really had some skills.
They were powerful, wealthy, and influential, good to their subordinates, willing to spend money, and willing to share profits with their underlings.
Although the bulk of the profit was still earned by the chamber of commerce, this was understandable. The Black Gold Chamber of Commerce was also willing to spend money on its subordinates! The treatment was good too!
You only needed to offer your loyalty and your ability!
The Black Gold Chamber of Commerce would handle everything else for you.
"Brother Caesar, you can think it over carefully. The doors of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce are always open to you! Moreover, if you have a family, the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce will handle everything! If you have children, whether it is for schooling or other aspects, the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce will arrange the top-tier options for you! Even if you take a concubine, we will send a generous gift!" the manager said to Caesar.
It could be said that they were wealthy and bold, just throwing money around!
With that pitch, even Caesar was swayed.
Well, even without these, Caesar had already had thoughts about it.
Just as he had thought before, to better operate in this world, the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce was indeed a very good starting point.
"How about this, let's cooperate first. I will be considered a mercenary; if you have something, come find me," Caesar said to the manager.
Hearing this, the manager immediately laughed: "Isn't that the same as becoming a retainer? Is there any difference? If you become our retainer, you can still have a monthly retainer fee, and otherwise, you are still free. And if you want to quit, it's a matter of any time; you just need to inform us."
"Uh..." Hearing this, it seemed, apparently, probably, should be, indeed the case!
"Then I will shamelessly accept!" Caesar said to the manager, confirming that he would become a retainer of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce.
"That couldn't be better! In a while, when we take a break halfway, I will introduce the other two retainers to you! They are in the other two carriages!" the manager said to Caesar.
It just so happened that there were three carriages: one for the manager, and the other two for the two retainers.
However, there were also differences between retainers.
"The specific amount of your retainer fee may require you, Brother Caesar, to wait until we get to the branch in Black Stone City to do a simple test. This will determine the level of your retainer fee, and it is also to keep a record, as well as a hard requirement to convince the other retainers," the manager said to Caesar.
"I understand." Caesar nodded. This was reasonable and a very normal thing. It was nothing more than showing his muscles!
If you want to get more than others, then you naturally have to be stronger than others.
"What is the level of those two retainers?" Caesar asked.
"One is a Top-tier Swordsman, receiving a retainer fee of 300 gold per month. At the same time, we provide a 300-square-meter villa with ten servants and four carriages for daily living and travel. At the same time, there is a certain authority to mobilize the resources of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce, and you can enjoy a 20% discount on special supplies when purchasing goods within the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce. The other one is basically the same, but receives 350 gold, and is also a Top-tier Swordsman," the manager said to Caesar.
The Top-tier Swordsman mentioned by the manager was a classification in the professional system of this world; it was a noun, not an adjective.
Professional system classification: Elementary, Intermediate, Advanced, Top-tier, Master-tier, Sovereign-tier, Legendary.
