Arknights Welcome to Terra Continent

"Lao Ke, have you heard of Swama? I think it's the food company with the straw logo."

Fogwald said he had some impression of the company's name, but not much.

"Old fool, look at what's printed on the back of the soda cracker you just ate. Isn't that the trademark of Swarma?"

Koval said, pointing to a few boxes on the table.

But their discussion was limited to "Swama Company". As a retired competitive knight, Martin obviously knew more about the other side.

"The Knights of the Moon? Although they are one of the top 100 knight orders... that is not a reputation gained through competitions, but a fake reputation created through marketing through advertising and sponsorship."

Relying on a bunch of second-rate competitive knights and another bunch of idol knights to become one of the top 100 knights, it has to be said that they have some skills.

Zofia was also fully awake at this time. When she saw the company employee standing in front of Maria, she immediately understood what had happened.

However, Zofia still had some impression of this employee.

"Who are you.............?"

The employees also recognized Zofia immediately. It was hard not to recognize her since her fame was even greater than Maria's.

"Zofia, yes, is it you?"

He was a little surprised, but quickly retracted his head and didn't continue talking.

"Ah, I remember you. You are the young manager......."

The employee hurriedly interrupted Zofia and spoke.

"No, not anymore. I'm just a nobody who runs errands for Swarma."

It seems that he has offended someone, or done something wrong, or both, but fortunately he can still make a living.

"I see. Your Excellency Maria's coach is the Whip Knight. That's even better."

The employee's tone became respectful again.

"The Knights of the Moon are all young knights like you two. The business department has more ways for you to show your value than just fighting."

These words made Maria a little confused.

What other ways does a competitive knight have to gain value other than by winning the game through combat?

"It's like being a star, an idol. Although you're still a competitive knight in name, you're actually no different from those idol knights. No one cares about your competition results. They only see your face and pay you a lot of money."

Imagining herself having to go on stage with makeup on, Sofia's body couldn't help but tremble.

It's really scary.

"Is this actually possible................."

"That's the truth. It's simple and effective. There's nothing wrong with it. Companies can make money, the audience is satisfied, and the contestants can earn income in a relatively safe way."

Zofia shrugged. She didn't quite understand why she could make money in this way, and she didn't understand why she was invited to join such a knight order, either now or before.

Am I the type who relies on my looks to make a living?

"Ah, if you understand it in a simple way, it is indeed true."

The enterprise employee couldn't help but take out a towel to wipe the sweat off his face and continued.

"But Swama can promise you on behalf of the Business Federation that we will still award you the knighthood and title."

"It seems the investigation is quite thorough."

Zofia joked.

“I dare not…”

But Maria did hesitate after hearing this.

Is it so easy to achieve my goal? All I have to do is agree to his request and join the Knights of the Moon?

"What are you going to do, Maria?"

Zofia turned her head and asked.

"It's so sudden, I also............"

Still hesitant, still wavering.

"Honestly, maybe you can accept that, Maria."

"Eh?"

Maria looked at Zofia in disbelief, but Zofia's eyes told her that her suggestion was not a lie.

"Isn't it great that you can keep the noble status of the Linguang family without getting hurt? Maybe next year you can buy a garden bigger than mine."

"Sister Zofia's garden is already like that. Even if I buy a bigger one, it will just become a pasture..."

Although she wanted to refute, what Maria said seemed to be very right, and Zofia could only glare at her.

"Ah, as long as Ms. Maria nods her head and agrees now, a valuable contract will be signed immediately. Please rest assured about this."

Another one who carries a contract with him. Is this your corporate culture in Casimir?

But, after some thought, Maria shook her head and responded firmly.

"I'm sorry, I don't want the Linguang family's emblem to become an appendage of a commercial company. At least, I want to rely on my own strength..."

"Well, we can still discuss some minor details. Your refusal is indeed a bit unexpected......"

The employee hurriedly took out several more contracts and spoke anxiously.

"But, but, the Business Federation has prepared more contracts for you. You can review them one by one."

"The Business Federation? Isn't this the responsibility of the association?"

Zofia sensed something was wrong, but those sitting up there wouldn't pay attention to such a small matter.

"Well, I mean, this is also what the CEO of Swama said. No, it is also..."

"Well, but I have to decline."

Maria once again firmly refused.

"Yes, yes, I heard you refused, but, but......"

The employees, who were already very nervous, even began to look pale.

"Well, Ms. Zofia, Ms. Maria, this is beyond official business. Please listen to me!"

"Your teeth seem to be chattering. Don't cry, will you? Is it really that serious to reject you?"

The employee almost fell to the ground, but finally managed to stand up by holding on to the table.

"No, no, I just hope that if someone comes to you two again, especially to negotiate with Lady Maria, please...please consider agreeing to it! Really! This is very important to both of us!"

Grabbing his briefcase in a hurry, he hurriedly took his leave, leaving everyone with puzzled faces.

Just, just leave like that?
