"Artificial satellite?
Ah ….. Chairman Xu, what are you saying? Space is so big, how could I touch an artificial satellite?
Let me tell you, the Magic Space in the sky is frighteningly stable and I can easily move magic elements, really ….. "
"Kassandra." Xu Yi cut Kassandra off with a calm face.
"Akali told me that dragons disdain lying."
Kassandra's expression froze as she blinked her eyes. After being stunned for a while, she lowered her head.
"This ….. Chairman Xu, I just happened to see the artificial satellite fly by and thought it was fun, so I chased after it to see who could fly faster. I didn't do anything else ….."
Seeing Kassandra finally admit it, Xu Yi revealed a faint smile and waved his hand.
"I know.
Otherwise, would I have just asked you and not come looking for trouble? "
Kassandra immediately let out a sigh of relief. When she raised her head again, she was in high spirits again.
"Hei, Chairman Xu, since you already know, why are you scaring me?"
"The company's Magic Illusion Camera on the artificial satellite only captured a black shadow, it wasn't confirmed that it was you.
I was just casually asking, but I never thought you would admit it, saving me the trouble of guessing. "
Kassandra was stunned before angrily shouting in shame.
"Chairman Xu, you humans really are all liars!
I ….. "
"You did fly by the artificial satellite, didn't you?
Or perhaps you have already harassed our company's artificial satellite for a long time, right? "Xu Yi asked back with a smile.
Kassandra was stunned before angrily giving a snort, "So what if I did?
I didn't destroy it!
I just felt that it wasn't fun to be alone in the sky, so I had it accompany me! "
Xu Yi couldn't help shaking his head with a smile.
If they were to calculate in terms of age, Kassandra would be over two hundred years old this year.
But in terms of mental age, she was even younger than Agnes who was less than a hundred years old.
Apart from the fact that dragons had a longer lifespan than elves, it was also because the social environment of dragons was simpler. Young dragons like Kassandra were basically not involved in worldly affairs.
If not for this, Kassandra wouldn't have easily trusted the exploration fleet sent by New Flyer and agreed to let them report to Sines. Then, she easily trusted Xu Yi and the others and even became good friends with Akali.
Of course, the Dragon Clan was too powerful, and there weren't many things that could threaten them, so they didn't need to be on guard.
"Didn't you just say that flying in space is fun?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.
"It's not that interesting after a long flight." Kassandra shook her head.
"That's why I've decided. This time, I must go back and tell my clansmen that we can all fly up into the sky and play together."
"Well … Kassandra, do you think all of your people have the ability to fly freely in space?" Xu Yi suddenly asked.
"Of course.
There are many people in the clan who are stronger than me. If I can do it, of course, they can too. "
"That's not necessarily true." Xu Yi shook his head with a serious expression.
"Kassandra, before you broke through the atmosphere, we did a lot of preliminary work to ensure the various data in space and calculated that the space environment would not pose a fatal threat to you. That's why we agreed to let you fly up.
Although you can fly freely in space now, this is just an exception for you. It doesn't mean that all of your clansmen can do it.
If something goes wrong, do you want to see your clansmen explode and die the moment they break through the atmosphere? "
A trace of fear flashed across Kassandra's face. "It's not that scary, right?
Didn't I fly for so long and still be fine? "
"As I said, this is just an exception for you."
"Then what should I do?
I still want to ask those guys in my clan to see who can fly faster in space. "
"Do you really want to?" Xu Yi stared at Kassandra and asked.
"Of course."
"That's good.
Now you can fly into space. Although it's just an exception, it can represent the general situation of the Dragon Race.
The reason why I said it was an exception just now is that the data we have collected about space is not perfect. We can't be 100% sure, so we can't let your clansmen take the risk.
But if the data collection is perfect enough, we can know the situation in space like the back of our hand … "
"I understand." Kassandra interrupted Xu Yi.
"You just want me to help you collect data, right?"
"Smart." Xu Yi smiled.
"Aren't there artificial satellites?"
"But artificial satellites are not as flexible as you in the sky. After all, artificial satellites are artificial satellites, not the Dragon Race. The data they collect is difficult to use as a practical reference."
"Is that so … Then I understand."
Kassandra nodded. She touched her chin and thought for a while. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she reached out to Xu Yi with a smile.
Xu Yi looked at Kassandra's delicate and white palm in front of him in astonishment.
"What are you doing?"
"If you want me to work for you, you have to give me a salary, right?" Kassandra smiled and tried to make a treacherous expression.
Xu Yi stared at her with wide eyes.
"Did Akali teach you this?"
"Do I need Akali to teach me this?
Isn't every human like you do this? "Kassandra replied righteously.
"Since every human needs to be paid for what they do, of course, I need to be paid for what I do for you. Isn't that fair?"
"It's very fair."
Xu Yi rolled his eyes at her, then his heart moved. He thought for a while and continued, "In that case, Kassandra, go back and ask for me if there are any other clansmen who are willing to work for us.
If there are, I will also give you a satisfactory reward. "
"Didn't you just say that it's best for our clansmen not to fly into space and take risks?"
"Their work is not just to fly into space to help us collect data. There are many other jobs that are suitable for them."
"I see …"
"By the way, if you are willing to learn to use human trading methods to get what you want, that's even better. I can directly give you gold coins as compensation. This will be more convenient for both of us."
"If we need gold, we have a lot in our clan. We don't need you to give us gold at all," Kassandra said proudly.
"Don't worry. I just hope that you can provide me with something more fun.
For example, more magic movies or something.
My clansmen will definitely ask for these things like I do. You don't have to worry about our excessive requests. "
"No … What I want you to learn is just to adapt to our human trading methods.
Although gold coins are still considered a common currency now, currency is not the same as gold.
Maybe … we will use paper to trade in the future. "
"Paper?" Kassandra stared at Xu Yi with a look of disbelief.
Xu Yi was naturally too lazy to explain the basics of currency to her. He smiled and changed the topic, then quickly reached a verbal agreement with Kassandra.
Kassandra was willing to work for the New Flyer. At the same time, she would go back and persuade her red dragon clansmen to work for the New Flyer, and the New Flyer would give them a suitable reward equivalent to gold coins.
As for the price … Kassandra tentatively set it at half of Akali's current salary, which was 60 gold coins a month.
The other clansmen would discuss it based on the specific work.
Seeing Kassandra excitedly transform into her dragon form and soar into the sky, Xu Yi couldn't help but smile proudly.
He could hire a dragon to work for him for only 60 gold coins a month. This was simply the most cost-effective transaction he had ever made.
And Kassandra's work was irreplaceable. Not to mention 60 gold coins a month, even 600 gold coins a month was not a lot.
In the future, when Kassandra worked for a long time, her work scope could be further expanded.
For example, with her ability to fly freely in space and even easily catch up with the speed of artificial satellites, she could completely undertake the daily maintenance, repair, and even recovery work of artificial satellites.
Compared to the lack of follow-up work for artificial satellites on earth, Xu Yi now had a killer weapon like Kassandra. This was simply enough to make all the national space agencies on earth envious.
"Hey, Xu Yi, don't you feel ashamed of deceiving an innocent dragon girl?" Seeing that Kassandra had flown away, Stiel ended her swim and returned to Xu Yi's side.
"How can this be called deceiving?" Xu Yi was not surprised that Stiel heard his conversation with Kassandra.
With Stiel's current strength as a great mage, as long as she was willing and the other party was not on guard, it was easy for her to hear any sound hundreds of meters away.
"I told her everything clearly. I didn't hide anything from her at all."
"Hmph, you didn't tell her how special her job is."
"The dragon race is special." Xu Yi said with a serious look.
"I can't wait to take this opportunity to make the Dragon Clan officially our partner.
But for the sake of the future, I can't set the price too high at the beginning, right? "
"Well, I understand."
Stiel nodded and sat down beside Xu Yi. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Xu Yi, it seems that you really intend to put all your energy into the Demon Cloud Continent?"
"Yes.
Compared with the Sines, the situation on the Demon Cloud Continent is much simpler.
As long as the problem of the Goblins is solved, the Demon Cloud Continent can be built according to my wishes. "
"Then if something happens on the Sines …"
"What will happen?" Xu Yi looked at Stiel with a smile and touched her smooth face.
"To be honest, Stiel, have you ever considered retiring?"
