Finn looked at Su Mo who was still smiling across from him and couldn't help but say in his heart.
Then he stood up with a smile and extended a hand of friendship to Su Mo again.
"I'm sorry to have asked you this question just now. At the same time, on behalf of the Loki family, I welcome you to join our expedition."
…To be continued….
Chapter 62: Cooperation and Transaction, Is This a Time to Retreat? Livilia's Apology
After confirming that Su Mo did not have impure motives.
Finn agreed without any hesitation to let Su Mo join the expedition.
joke!
Not to mention that he had been thinking about cooperating with Hestia's family in order to leverage their strength for development.
Take Su Mo’s strength, for example, whose depth even he couldn’t tell.
How could Finn let go of such a great help? !
Maybe with Su Mo joining us this time, we can refresh the strategy record?
That would be a big profit!
Even if Su Mo has to share a portion of the expedition's gains, the benefits brought by other aspects are enough for the Loki clan to turn things around and achieve a profit!
Su Mo smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with him, saying politely: "I am also happy to fight alongside you. I hope to see the style of the top families of Orario this time."
"Of course. I'm sure you won't be disappointed." Finn said with a smile.
Livilia beside him also laughed, but Loki seemed to be in a low mood.
She personally doesn't want this collaboration to happen.
In addition to her discord with Hestia, she also had hostility towards Su Mo.
Well, it was mainly because of Ai Si’s vengeful remarks last time that made her a little worried that her baby Ai Si might be abducted away by Su Mo.
After all, that's how it's written in the book. The heroine hated the hero at the beginning, and even held a grudge against him because of some things.
As a result, when the hatred was resolved, the heroine's heart was filled with the hero's image.
Loki was also afraid that the innocent Aisi would fall for this, so he really didn't want Su Mo to have any contact with Aisi anymore.
But there was no way, this was something that was beneficial to the clan, and no matter how unwilling she was, she had no reason to destroy it.
Loki takes a laissez-faire attitude towards the development of his clan.
Unless her support is needed, she generally does not intervene.
For example now...
Loki, who felt annoyed when he saw Su Mo, simply turned his head away and stopped looking at him. Anyway, Finn would take care of the rest of the things, so he didn't need her help anymore.
"Then we should talk about the issue of harvest sharing."
After some pleasantries, Finn got down to business.
Although it was Su Mo who took the initiative to participate, he couldn't just withhold his contribution.
Not to mention that not giving it may affect the friendship between the two parties, people outside are also watching.
What will others think if you don’t give it?
People came to help you voluntarily, but you got all the benefits but didn't even bother to share some of them. Do you still have any sense of being a human being?
What will the family members who participated in this event think?
They would think, damn, are the Loki family so stingy? Then they would not help them next time.
So even if it is just for outsiders to see, this ingredient has to be given!
Even if it means taking a share from their own profits, they still have to give it!
"Okay." Su Mo agreed without hesitation.
Then he took the lead and said, "But before discussing it, I think you should take a look at this thing first."
As he spoke, Su Mo took out two black "bricks" from his arms.
"what is this?"
Seeing that Su Mo said so, Finn did not object.
He looked at the thing in Su Mo's hand curiously, ready to see what Su Mo was going to do next.
Su Mo didn't say anything, but smiled and handed him one of the 'bricks'.
After Finn took it in confusion, Su Mo picked up the "brick" in his hand.
Press the button and bring to your mouth.
"Hey Hey hey."
"Hey~ Hey, hey, hey."
Two synchronized voices rang out, causing Finn's eyes to widen instantly, and he looked at the 'brick' in his hand in surprise.
One of the voices just now came from here.
Livilia was also a little surprised, and even Loki couldn't help but turn his head curiously.
Here Su Mo smiled and said:
"This is a walkie-talkie, a real-time communication tool."
"Within its effective range, as long as the frequencies match, two people holding walkie-talkies can communicate in real time."
"And its effective range, when it's just outputting power, is a minimum of 400 meters and a maximum of 1,000 meters."
"If it is equipped with a dedicated power amplifier, it can even reach a minimum of 20 kilometers and a maximum of 40 kilometers."
"I believe you should understand what it represents."
Gulu~!
Finn looked at the 'brick' in his hand and swallowed.
He certainly knew what that meant.
It's efficiency!
Terrifying efficiency!
It can be said that as long as we have this thing, we will say goodbye to the backward, time-consuming, labor-intensive and extremely inefficient way of transmitting information by shouting and running around.
The time saved is considerable.
And it's not just a matter of time.
It also means that commanders can know the intelligence on the scene faster and more accurately, and give new instructions in a timely manner.
This greatly improves a team's real-time deployment and response capabilities.
The efficiency improvement it brings is far more than just the time saved in information transmission.
There is also a very significant improvement in overall combat power!
And it can even provide timely rescue, greatly reducing casualties!
These little tricks that are commonplace to modern people can be regarded as a dimensionality reduction-level impact in the underground world!
If you don’t understand, just look at the modern informationized combat system.
Compare it with ancient scouts, carrier pigeons, flag signals, or even the telegraph.
In a battle where both sides have equal equipment, whoever transmits information faster and more accurately will have a greater advantage.
Finn understood the situation. He quickly suppressed his excitement and asked Su Mo nervously:
"Mr. Su Mo, I wonder what you mean by taking out this intercom now?"
Livilia and Loki also looked at Su Mo with burning eyes.
Seeing that he had achieved the desired effect, Su Mo smiled with satisfaction and said, "Since I have taken out the money at this time, then I am naturally going to give it to you, but it is not given for free."
"How much? No, you name the price. We want all of them. Twenty first. And that power amplifier, one too!"
Finn spoke at probably the fastest speed in his life, and hurriedly put this precious thing into his pocket.
Su Mo shook his head: "It's not about the price, but... this thing, we only rent it and don't sell it at the moment."
"Only rentable?"
When Finn heard this, he couldn't help but frown.
This is not quite in line with his psychological expectations, and renting is much more troublesome than buying or selling at one time.
At the same time, he couldn't help but look at the walkie-talkie in his hand, his eyes flickering slightly.
The fact that Su Mo could only rent but not buy made him doubt whether this thing was actually easy to copy.
After all, this method of only renting, in addition to strengthening the monopoly, also has the intention of protecting the technology of walkie-talkies from being leaked.
Seeing him like this, Su Mo could roughly guess what he was thinking, so he said with a smile:
"This thing needs energy to work. I bought it for you. Do you have energy to replenish it? Do you know how to operate the power amplifier? If it breaks, can you repair it?"
"It's not impossible to buy it directly from you. I can even buy you enough backup energy as well."
"But there are only a few days left before the expedition. Are you sure you can learn how to operate and repair it within this time?"
"Ah this..." X3
Be it Finn, Livilia, or even Loki, they were all silenced by Su Mo's series of questions.
Indeed, let’s not talk about whether this thing is easy to imitate.
Just knowing how to use it and how to ensure its normal use is not something they can master in a short period of time.
So, I can only...
"Your Excellency, do you mean to bring a few more people with you?"
Finn also understood the meaning of Su Mo's words.
Since they can't handle these problems, let someone who can handle them handle them!
Add to that the requirement that it can only be rented, and the intention is clear.
Su Mo also wanted to add more people to the expedition team, and they would be his own people.
"Yes, I may need your help to take care of them in the future. I have too many personal matters to attend to. To be honest, I can't take care of the family's affairs."
Su Mo also admitted it openly and said that this project requires long-term cooperation.
And his last words were true.
The family game on Orario's side is not the focus of his future development.
Once he earned enough points, he exchanged them for the goal of "Sacred Word·Blessing".
I will gradually withdraw from this and return to developing the dimensional city.
As for the family?
It will be handed over to Hestia.
Or, they could choose another person from the people of the Dimension City to take over the position of the nominal leader.
Finn heard this and glanced at Loki.
Seeing that she didn't respond, I couldn't help but feel shocked.
Naturally, he also understood the meaning of Su Mo's words.
This is to arrange the future development plan for the Hestia family.
Or in other words, he is arranging for his successor as leader!
This is the rhythm of retreating from the current situation!
