It seems that Dawn Village is indeed quite sincere.
Next comes the exchange of personnel.
Adhering to the principles of fairness and justice, Lin Feng also had Cheng Mountain verify the grenades. They were basically stamped from the same mold, and after being coated with oil, they could be preserved for decades with superior quality.
"Alright, next is the payment and delivery. Is the personnel side prepared?"
Seeing the other party also nodding in satisfaction, Lin Feng spoke.
Cheng Mountain nodded, gesturing to the crowd behind him. Soon, a man who appeared to be in his fifties or sixties, but likely nearing a hundred years old, stepped out. He was evidently an experienced master.
The other five apprentices also came forward, ranging from youth to middle age.
Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction. The Level 1 Maintenance Master before him was clearly of master level, with callused palms yellowed from work and a face full of fine lines, his gaze deeply full of worldly experiences.
Even though the man was already quite old, it did not affect Lin Feng's judgment. Once the maintenance personnel completed the later stage construction, it wouldn't require him to fight hand-to-hand.
Using up some resources to sustain him and extend his life to continue serving was actually a win-win situation.
After the latter emerged from the crowd, Lin Feng personally stepped forward to greet him, noticing the man's temples were already somewhat graying, suggesting he might be even older.
Moreover, his Evolution Level was at the Late Tier One stage, equivalent to Level 16. Advancing three more levels would take him to a Level 19 Evolution, reaching the Tier One Limit.
The slightly aged man had a calm expression and spoke proactively while shaking hands with Lin Feng:
"My name is Cheng Wentian. Although I am the most experienced in technology in the village, I am also one of the oldest, counting this year as being already 130 to 140 years old, with only a few decades of life expectancy left."
"If Mr. Lin is willing to take me in, I hope the promise can be fulfilled, extending my life for another few decades to reach two hundred years."
"If I'm not agreeable, please speak up quickly; I can be replaced by someone under a hundred."
Although the lifespan limit of a Tier One Evolver is theoretically two hundred years, this was based on the favorable environment of the Old Earth Era. Not every Tier One Evolver can live to two hundred.
Especially in harsh wasteland conditions, most organisms' lifespans are reduced by thirty to forty percent.
Just as Enhanced People, who were originally expected to live to a hundred, rapidly age after fifty, generally departing at sixty to seventy years of age.
And Tier One Evolvers, after passing one hundred and fifty, also age faster, with few living beyond one hundred and eighty.
However, if one evolves to the Late Tier One stage and becomes a Level 19 Evolver, combined with a good living environment and no need for exhausting battles or frequent injuries, living to two hundred is indeed possible.
At this moment, Cheng Wentian's frankness was simply his desire to live a few more years. Dawn Village clearly wouldn't spend a large amount of late-stage evolution agents on someone with no research potential.
A Level 17 Evolution Agent costs twenty to thirty thousand apiece.
A set of five costs around 150,000.
Moreover, more costs are needed to maintain him for over ten years.
And Cheng Wentian's technical knowledge had long been inherited by others, extending his life would essentially be a losing business.
Therefore, sending him to Lin Feng not only offsets fifty thousand points but also alleviates significant burdens from Dawn Village.
As for the buyer, Lin Feng, he naturally understood this but still nodded in agreement:
"I, Lin Feng, uphold the promises I've made. Rest assured, Master Cheng."
"Moreover, as long as Master Cheng manages well in the later stages and the maintenance team's performance meets the standards, the previously promised Tier Two Evolution Agent will also be given."
Seeing Lin Feng agree, Cheng Wentian finally felt a bit relieved, tightly grasping Lin Feng's hands:
"Alright, I promise you, within five years, I'll train a team of fifty professionals. Any issues with electric vehicles and appliances can be solved!"
Lin Feng smiled and nodded.
After speaking, he let the group of six board the electric car, accompanying the transport vehicle to his fleet.
Seeing the newly promoted Tier Two Powerhouse act so generously, the five apprentices behind Cheng Wentian looked on with eager eyes. Even Cheng Mountain's entourage had a slight change in expression, beginning to ponder their decisions.
As the saying goes, 'spending a fortune for a prized horse', Lin Feng believed that once the power of the Synthetic Cannon was demonstrated, more and more maintenance masters would come to attach themselves to him.
Meanwhile, Cheng Mountain also sent people to unload twenty boxes of grenades from the carriage and return them to the camp.
Just as both parties were about to leave after completing the transaction…
Cheng Mountain called out to Lin Feng:
"There's one more thing to discuss. May I speak with you privately?"
Lin Feng followed him to the side, where Cheng Mountain quietly said:
"Leader Lin, the village chief of Nongzhuang Village, Lord Li Mingquan, upon hearing about your business, is also very interested in trading grenades and hopes to discuss with you."
"Lord Li is currently inside the camp. Having long heard of your great reputation, may I ask if you can grant him an audience?"
