The Metaverse World
Negotiating With the Golden Rat
On October 14, Heru Cokro received a premium blueprint and a reply letter from his little aunt, Sri Isana Tunggawijaya.
Heru Cokro first throws the blueprints of the construction of a premium shipyard to Manguri Rajaswa in his next office, instructs Manguri Rajaswa to send it to Pantura, and demands Pantura to immediately upgrade the shipyard.
He then returned to his office and opened the letter.
In the letter, her little aunt Sri Isana Tunggawijaya said that she had contacted the leader of the Berdasi Rat mercenary group, the Golden Rat, and he was very interested to see what Heru Cokro had to offer when he arrived in the Javanese District of Dwipa.
Heru Cokro nodded. Sure enough, the District of Java Dwipa is now a giant that can not be looked down upon by anyone. He immediately wrote a letter to invite the Golden Rat to Dwipa Javanese Subdistrict tomorrow to discuss their cooperation. Since he still had some spare time, he traveled to the military factory located on the outskirts and took a number of Military Ration Pills for the upcoming sea battle.
To increase their success rate, the shipyard followed the demand of Heru Cokro and is now upgrading 25 Javanese Jung warships from the Pantura naval fleet with naval warships and inner metal plates.
As for the trump card, it was of course an alchemy oil. Heru Cokro was eager to see how the wooden ship of the pirates performed when faced with the alchemy oil fire arrows.
The next day, the Golden Rat arrived on time and was greeted by Heru Cokro in the hall.
Together with the mercenary leader were the other two men. After the introduction, they were the Silver Rat and the Copper Rat. Heru Cokro knew very well that only the core members of the Bated Rat could embrace the name of the metal rat.
While the District of Java Dwipa only has Heru Cokro accompanied by the Director of Military Affairs, Director Raden Said.
"What does Regent Jendra want to look for from the Berdasi Rat?" The Golden Rat was very direct.
Heru Cokro understood their doubts and worries. If he did not clear them up and they remained vigilant, the cooperation would not continue as he had planned. Heru Cokro nodded and said, “As the saying goes, straightforward people do not use innuendo. I know very well that you are a mercenary in the real world. I'm here today to invite you in the hope that you can return to the role you've assigned.”
The sight of the Golden Rat freezing over, his bad premonition coming true.
In fact, being a mercenary was no big deal, especially after the occurrence of interplanetary migration, nothing else could be hidden. What the Golden Rat asked was how Heru Cokro knew their identity.
Heru Cokro made the conversation clear. He did not want both parties to be entangled in their respective identities.
The Golden Rat was also an incredible man. After Heru Cokro spoke clearly, he stopped hiding and said, “You are indeed worthy of bearing the name of Regent Jendra. I am now very curious, what kind of cooperation can people like you do with us?”
"simple." Heru Cokro explained. “I hope Rat Berdasi can send a team of instructors and placed in the District of Java Dwipa. They will assist the Dwipa Javanese District in training elite special operations forces. How's that?"
Simple idea. It was to apply modern warfare tactics and strategies to the armies of ancient times. It will be difficult and difficult, the idea is strange, and needs the help of professionals.
The Berdasi Rat was one of the best international mercenaries. The elites of the elites. Their combat abilities and combat tactics were comparable to those of special forces.
Of course, a high understanding of the game also plays an important role. From the point of view of Heru Cokro, there are not many restrictions and rules. While others see The Metaverse World as a game, he only sees it as the real world.
Heru Cokro does not feel strange at all to apply modern knowledge in the world that is set in ancient times. He's really a pragmatist all the way to his bone marrow.
The Golden Rat and the others were stuck with ordinary inertial thoughts. In their heads, the game was ultimately just a game and should not be related to the real world. Since the theme of the game is ancient times, they will play together and adapt to the common affairs of ancient times.
Heru Cokro noticed that a bright white light flashed in the eyes of the Silver Rat standing behind the Golden Rat. It seemed like he was happy with the strange idea of Heru Cokro.
The members of the Berdasi Rat mercenary group were all true mercenaries, so they did not need to undergo any special training anymore. Their thoughts and actions would unconsciously drift towards the special forces. Perhaps they were also unaware of it, but the way the special forces had seeped deep into their bones, it had become a part of them.
The idea that Heru Cokro proposes is a stimulus for the activists of war, it is difficult and challenging. But it is in their bones that they are not afraid of a challenge, instead, they enjoy the challenge. Because the more challenging, the more exciting as well.
The Golden Rat, as the leader of the Berdasi Rat, is a perfect example of a leader. But at the same time, he was also the most conscious person. Although his heart that was boiling his blood in great excitement wanted to fulfill Heru Cokro's idea, his cold-headed mind constantly reminded him to fight for the benefit of the mercenary group.
He suppressed his excitement and became the master of his own emotions. He calmly asked, “Gagasan proposed by Regent Jendra is indeed interesting. But, what price do you want to pay?”
Heru Cokro fully understood the needs of the Berdasi Rat. The bid price was something they could not refuse.
"I'm willing to pay with a crossbow, with this number." Heru Cokro raised 5 fingers.
“50?” The Golden Rat was slightly dissatisfied.
As Heru Cokro thought, as a mercenary, crossbows were the best cold weapon for them. The 50 crossbows were close to the expectations of the Golden Rat bottom line.
"No." Heru Cokro shook his head, "500 of them."
"His~sss." Even with his immense control over his emotions and remaining calm the entire time, he still could not help but breathe in the cold air to calm his heart.
500 Crossbows, that was enough to equip the entire mercenary group of the Tie Rats. Based on the current market price, the total value was no less than 8000 gold, and the supply in the market was also unstable.
"Good!" The Golden Rat slammed the table as he stood up happily. “Bupati Jendra is really generous. The Dependent Rat accepts your terms and the deal is sealed. Rest assured, the best Berdasi Rat instructors will be sent to Kecamatan Jawa Dwipa.” Heru Cokro's generosity gained the Gold Rat's recognition and his approval of the cooperation.
Heru Cokro nodded. This is what he wanted.
Then the next thing they need to do is expand the discussion further on the details of the cooperation.
