Chapter 562: Chapter 261 Global Contractor Forces Gather in Huaxia [10,000 Words]_5

“Hmm, go ahead, and also, she’s quite pretty,” Ye Lin evaluated.

“Uh… she’s alright,” Mu Rufeng replied, and then he walked toward the Bloody Train.

However, he still muttered to himself, why would Ye Lin, the head of the headquarters, say something like that? It was so out of character.

After the Bloody Train vanished, Ye Lin’s face grew gloomy.

“From now on, stop talking like me,” Ye Lin said coldly.

“She really is pretty, if only she were my wife, I mean, old Ye, you’ve only contracted six abnormalities, and you still have two contract slots, why don’t you contract those two old flames of mine? It would save me from feeling so lonely.”

A voice emanated from one of Ye Lin’s contract slots.

“No, those two of yours are too weak and have poor talent,” Ye Lin directly refused.

The two old flames of this contract demon were a Level 5 Gu and a Level 6 Gu. Putting aside their talent, their strengths were indeed of no help to Ye Lin.

“Ah, you’re at Level 8, and I’m only at Level 7, surely you’re not thinking of contracting a Level 8 Ghost King?”

“In that case, just contract one old flame,” the contract demon suggested once again.

“No, I need at least a Level 8 Ghost King,” Ye Lin still refused.

“At least? Every Level 8 Ghost King is a significant figure. Would any of them contract with you if I hadn’t been injured before? Would you have been able to contract me?” the contract demon said disdainfully.

“Injured? What, was it my fault that you got injured? You even dared to cuckold a Ghost King, and you blame me?” Ye Lin said indifferently.

“Cough cough, let’s not talk about that. But anyway, for your next contracted abnormality, get a female one. Look at all the ones you’ve contracted, all deformed and male,” the contract demon said irritably.

Ye Lin didn’t reply, silently walking toward the Mysterious Affairs Bureau.

…

In the Mysterious World, outside the mining area of the Life Ore.

Mu Rufeng watched the Bloody Train leave and then entered the mining area.

“Hello, Manager Mu!”

“Hello, Manager Mu!”

Two security ghosts came forward to greet Mu Rufeng promptly.

“Um.” Mu Rufeng nodded slightly and continued walking inside.

The Level 7 Gu who presided over this area wasn’t here but was in a single-story house near the entrance of the mining area.

Though it was only a single-story house, the interior decoration was quite luxurious.

Mu Rufeng didn’t go to find him but instead headed to the mining office.

“Manager Mu, you’ve come? Is there something you need?” A Gu with lumps all over its head came to greet him.

This was the mine manager, responsible for maintaining the daily operations and management here.

Normally, the management personnel in the mines should be arranged by their own people, but due to time constraints, it wasn’t possible to arrange that so quickly.

He also contacted Lilith, but the fastest she could send people would be tomorrow.

So for now, he let this creature manage for the day; later, he would be made an assistant to the new manager.

The lumpy Gu was actually quite satisfied with this because not only did his salary not decrease, but it also increased, and he had less work to do.

“How much Life Ore is still in the mine now?” Mu Rufeng inquired.

“Manager Mu, there are still three hundred tons of Life Ore in the mine. Two months ago, Treasure Tower bought up all the stock, and these have been mined in recent days,” the lumpy Gu responded.

“Three hundred tons, still a bit less,” Mu Rufeng frowned slightly.

“How much Life Ore can be mined in a day now?”

“Manager Mu, now that you’ve increased the wages, everyone’s been working hard. Apart from stopping during the early morning hours, we mine at all other times. About forty tons can be mined in a day,” the lumpy Gu answered.

Forty tons a day, twenty thousand tons would take five hundred days, almost sixteen months, too long.

Now with three hundred tons in stock, and with his fifteen production lines, one line could produce one million Login Bracelets a day.

Three hundred tons could only last just over ten days; the mining speed simply couldn’t keep up with production.

“What can be done to increase production?” Mu Rufeng looked at the lumpy Gu and asked.

“Manager Mu, to increase production, first, recruit more miners. The more miners there are, the faster the mining. Although this means greater expenses, the pit isn’t large, at most only one hundred people fit. More than that, and it would be too crowded.”

“Second, purchase Corpse Blood Fragrance. If it’s lit, mining can also be done during the forbidden hours in the early morning. Using Corpse Blood Fragrance is even more costly.”

“One stick of Corpse Blood Fragrance can burn for an hour. The taboo time is from midnight to six in the morning, totaling six hours. Six sticks are needed each day.”

“A stick of Corpse Blood Fragrance costs ten thousand soul banknotes at Treasure Tower. Here, it would mean an expense of sixty thousand soul banknotes a day, making it totally unprofitable,” the lumpy Gu said.

In the view of the lumpy Gu, the ore was right here, it wouldn’t run away, there was no need to spend extra money to mine quickly, it simply wasn’t worth it.

“Currently, there are thirty people employed in mining at the mine, right?” Mu Rufeng inquired.

“Yes, thirty people,” the lumpy Gu nodded.

Besides these thirty miners, there were also two security guards, a chef and a chef’s assistant, plus one vending machine.

“Then you immediately continue to recruit. Get me one hundred miners, with the same wage conditions as the old miners.”

“Also, for the amount mined, I’ll give a commission of 0.5%,” Mu Rufeng stated.

“A… 0.5% commission?” The lumpy Gu’s expression changed slightly.
