Chief Instructor Candidates


The returns were a lot better than imagined!


After Xiye returned to the hotel, he looked at the large stack of contracts gleefully. There were over 1,000 people who had sent in their resumes, and after some comparisons, he selected close to 100 of them.


Out of which, 40 instructors were from the basic departments, 10 had specialties in weaponry, and 5 had specialties in the berserkers. He was also fortunate to get a few talented magic department students, including those specialized in arcane arts, in elements, and even two rare applicants from the prophecy department and evil demon department.


All of them graduated from top-notch colleges, and the students from the evil demon department and arcane arts department even had elementary mage certifications. Xiye was generous to give them a starting salary of $15,000. For the other occupations, he also offered them starting salaries that corresponded to what was on his quotation list.


Right now, Xiye had the feeling as if all the talented people in the world were now in his grasp. However, after careful calculations, he immediately felt a great heartache when he realized that he would have to pay several hundred thousand dollars per month.


He decided to let them work overtime after he went back. He must let them work enough to justify their salaries!!


It was a pity that he didn’t manage to get mecha controller interns, but that was normal. The control over the market caused them to be extremely rare, and all the overlords would fight to get them. Before they even graduated, they would have been mostly snatched up during the recruitment drives in the school. There usually wouldn’t be any left for lousy overlords like Xiye.


Moreover, the school fees for these disciplines were expensive to begin with. Even the school fees for the cheapest mecha academy of the Bronze Race’s traditional workmanship were several ten times the ordinary disciplines, let alone that for the arcane mechas, Hicks Mecha, as well as the elves and evil demon races’ biological mecha disciplines. Their school fees would probably need over ten millions. This would exclude the money required for them to purchase the mechas.


People who could afford this generally wouldn’t be ordinary people and wouldn’t come to them for interviews.


If they wished to recruit mecha controllers, even if they weren’t from the few top-notch schools, one would need to be at least a force possessing a fifth-grade administrative planet before the students would pay any heed to you.


Xiye wanted to nurture mecha warriors. Other than increasing the zeal of those Developers in the base, it was also necessary to nurture his own mecha battle team. After all, the power of mechas would be very important for defending against the Royal Interstellar Pirates or to explore some unknown and dangerous Star Regions.


He knew that the price for nurturing a mecha controller was very expensive, but he wasn’t scared. He had people from D-Planet, who had extremely high potential. Having an adaptability rate of 90%, they could unleash the Developers’ ancient bloodlines at high efficiency. As long as he could provide them with teaching routes, these people wouldn’t be inferior compared to those who came from great clans with purified genes!


As he was thinking about this, the A.I. notified him that he had received a new mail. Xiye tapped it open and saw that they were the candidates for the chief instructor recommended by the talent network’s headhunter!


After glancing through the documents, Xiye couldn’t help but feel that although the cost for this talent network was extremely expensive, the people they found were really not bad. At the very least, they met his requirements.


The chief instructor candidates recommended to him were a seventh-grade naga from the Deep Sea Race, as well as an eighth-grade warrior from the Ayres Clan.


The naga had requested an annual salary of $500,000, an insurance policy that was at least fourth-grade or higher, as well as some money for housing. However, he was only willing to sign a contract for ten years. If Xiye was willing to send him for advanced warrior training, he could consider signing a contract for 100 years, but the salary after he had obtained the advanced job would be discussed separately!


In comparison, the Ayres Clan’s titan warrior’s salary expectation was higher, being at $700,000. Moreover, he also requested to have a salary increment of at least 25% every five years.


However, he didn’t have any training request and was willing to consider signing a contract for 100 years!


Xiye started to compare the two, considering the strengths and weaknesses of each candidate…


The naga’s experience wasn’t bad. He graduated from a top-notch warrior academy and was proficient in wielding seven weaponry. His battle qi had been trained to the ninth-grade, and his age was only slightly above 200 years old. Considering a naga’s lifespan, it was hard for one to achieve such standards given his age. He had a great aptitude, but Xiye wasn’t very keen on him.


As a branch of the elves, the nagas had a great martial arts heritage. Compared to the elves, the nagas were also more hardworking and could endure hardships. They had a good reputation amongst the various overlords in the Federation. However, their weakness was that they had a very strong ego and rarely would stay with one overlord for very long. When given a better opportunity, they would choose to cross over without any hesitation, lacking in loyalty.


This time around, he was planning on hiring a long-term worker. As for investment in their training, Xiye could only laugh. Given the nagas’ reputation, what difference would it be between investing in them and throwing money down the drain?


Moreover, given the aptitude of the players in his base, if he were to invest in somebody, he’d definitely give a priority to the native citizens!


The second candidate was a titan warrior from the Ayres Clan. The Ayres Clan was a well-known warrior clan that primarily nurtured titan-typed warriors. They had a variety of titan bloodlines, and this time around, the candidate recommended by the headhunter was a high-grade green titans. This candidate was said to have suffered irreversible injuries in the battle arena and was told that it’d be hard to recover to his peak condition even after going through surgeries. Therefore, he planned on retiring from the front lines, finding a power where he could be an instructor.


His strengths and weaknesses were also very clear. He graduated from a degree mill, had spent several decades in the battle arena, and was someone who only had actual combat experience, not having been through proper training. He lacked knowledge in a proper educational framework, and thus his training would be rougher. However, Xiye was very tempted by his strengths.


Firstly, he was a pure-breed green titan. When teaching players who were also green titans, he’d definitely have an advantage that other clans would be unable to compare against. After all, he himself understood the structure of a green titan very well.


The second thing was his abilities. He had a duo discipline, having specialties in both the weaponry and berserkers. This was very common in the battle arena, but uncommon amongst the trainers. This was quite tempting for Xiye since he wouldn’t have to recruit another instructor with a specialty in berserkers. It would save him a lot of money.


To be honest, between the two, Xiye was more inclined to pick the latter!


Although the former had good growth potential, Xiye wasn’t lacking in people that had this trait. He only needed some gardeners by his side. Although the green titan claimed that he was retiring to live out his old age, this was the type of people that Xiye happened to be lacking in!


However, Xiye was a little lacking in confidence on whether he could recruit him successfully. According to the document, the person had been keen on looking for a planet that was sixth-grade or higher so that he could take a good break while taking care of his pregnant wife.


Clearly, he hadn’t been able to find one. After all, the green titans’ rough way of teaching wasn’t suitable for most powers and races. Other than the battle arena, only a few people would be like Xiye, spending the effort to nurture green titans. This led to the person not being able to find a suitable job for a few consecutive months. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have set his eyes on a new overlord like Xiye.


However, despite so, the other party only agreed to meet up for a discussion first. Clearly, he was still hesitating.


Hearing the headhunter’s introduction, Xiye didn’t dare to have any delays and immediately sent out the link for an invitation to meet up. Recruitment was something that depended on affinity. Although the person had yet to find a suitable job for a few months, what if he were to find one a few minutes later? After all, with how big the universe was, what could be impossible? He mustn’t miss out on such a suitable chief instructor!


The other side responded very quickly, and the two of them met up in the virtual clubhouse that the talent network had specially set up.


The moment Xiye arrived, he saw that tall and big titan. Although it was clearly written in his records that he had a height of six meters and weighed seven tons, Xiye was still very shaken after meeting him in person.


That titan whose entire body was filled with explosive muscles was definitely a lot more impressive than the Bronze Race and the Thunder Clan. It was no wonder that he had been a favorite in the battle arena. Many spectators would be willing to support him just from looking at his appearance.


“You’re that overlord who is recruiting an instructor?” The tall titan asked in a low and muffled voice. He sat down casually, cross-legged, but was still a lot taller than Xiye.


Xiye calmed down and spoke in a low voice, “That’s right. I’m planning to nurture a batch of high-end green titans in my territory, and I need a green titan warrior with great combat experience to guide them.”


“Nurture high-end green titans?” The huge man looked at Xiye. “Do you know how much it would cost to nurture a high-grade green titan?”


“You don’t have to worry about the money. You just need to do the job that you’re paid for!” Xiye’s attitude appeared headstrong. He knew that old warriors like this titan would look down on him if he were to appear too weak.


The huge man took a long look at Xiye and then went into deep thought.


His name was Zanda Ayres, and he was a member of the side branch from the Ayres Clan. After graduating from a second-rated warrior academy, he started his career in the battle arena.


It was because this was the fastest route for him to pay back the debt he owed to his clan. In the Ayres Clan, every member that wished to become a warrior must submit an application to request for the clan’s nurturing in the form of a loan. There would be clear terms stated on how much wealth they would have to bring for the clan after their graduation before they could become independent and form their own families.


There was no other way out. The conditions for the green titans’ evolution were very harsh, and the nurturing fees were too expensive. The clan had no choice but to gather all resources into a central pool. Therefore, they tended to sacrifice the prospects from the side branch to nurture the outstanding candidates from the main branch.


This led to a large number of members from the Ayres Clan to dive into the battle arena.


It was easy to get money from the battle arena, but the damage done to their bodies was also tremendous. Zanda was considered lucky to have only gotten injured after repaying the debt to the clan. However, he no longer had any savings and also had to ensure the livelihood of his wife and his son that was going to be born soon. Therefore, he mustn’t continue on this high-risk job when he was already injured.


Therefore, he had been looking for a steady job recently. There had been many offers for him to join the military, but he didn’t wish to do that. The military was even more dangerous than the battle arena. If he was younger and didn’t have anything to tie him down, he wouldn’t mind. But now that he already had a family of his own, how could he go to those places where he had to put his life at risk?


However, a stable job wasn’t too friendly for green titans. For example, the bosses were more inclined to recruit Pierre’s policewomen and junior officers as security guards. Bosses who weren’t as well-off would only recruit an ogre at most. It was too extravagant for them to recruit such a high-grade green titan.


For instructor positions, most people tended to like those who had graduated from teaching academies. They weren’t that keen to hire warriors like himself, let alone the fact that he was a green titan. It was primarily because the green titan’s fiery temperament had indeed left a bad reputation in the teaching industry.


Just as he was feeling anxious, he was given this option by the headhunter. He was told that someone wanted to nurture high-grade green titans and wanted to hire him as an instructor.


He was overjoyed when he heard this and was thinking that the money for his child’s milk powder would be settled. He hadn’t expected that it was a child like this who had wanted to hire him. To think that an overlord who had just started to build his base wanted to nurture high-grade green titans?


This person must either come from a rich family or must be an idiot.


Should he take on this job?
