A free breakfast, a piece of dry bread, and a bottle of milk. It took Kaede Sato more than half an hour to eat, and at this time, it was already past 10 o 'clock.
"It's time, it should be a lot more lively at this time." Kaede Sato thought to himself as he swallowed the last piece of bread and drank the last mouthful of milk. He looked at the time displayed on his Rocket watch.
In fact, the public market had already opened at 7 o 'clock, but since most of the Rocket members had their daily jobs, there wouldn't be many people in the market if they went there too early.
The reason why the Rocket Team is so strong is because of their large family business. They have many properties in many cities, and most of the staff in these properties are naturally members of the Rocket Team.
In fact, the number of real combat personnel in Rocket wasn't very high. Most of the Rocket members were in charge of logistics. After all, the members of Rocket were also people, and they needed to eat. Moreover, the development of an armed force consumed a lot of resources. If they didn't have enough logistical support, the members of Rocket could only go hungry.
Perhaps many people thought that the way the Dark Coalition obtained resources was through direct plundering, but that was a misconception. Plundering was the lowest form of resource collection. Rocket wasn't the same as most of the Dark Coalition forces. In addition to plundering, they were also very good at creating and cultivating resources.
For example, in the game, Rocket controlled the Silver Corporation behind the scenes. Rainbow was the largest casino in the game, and Sakaki's Elven Amusement Park in the anime. These were all huge money trees created and cultivated by Rocket.
At present, Rocket's business was very diversified. Opening the black market to collect protection fees was only a small part of their income. These hidden businesses were their main source of income.
This was why Rocket's strength was so strong. Even the Alliance didn't dare to touch them easily. After all, Rocket had successfully taken root in the Alliance. If the Alliance wanted to uproot Rocket, they would definitely suffer a great loss, and it might even cause a great social upheaval.
However, due to the large number of industries, Team Rocket also required a lot of manpower. After all, it was safest to use their own people. In addition, they also had to secretly fight with the Alliance and other dark forces (business competition, secret assassination). The loss of manpower was also quite serious.
Therefore, in terms of human resources, the Rocket Team was still relatively tight. This was also an important reason why the Rocket Team constantly worked hard to nurture new recruits, especially when it came to the cultivation of top combatants. The Rocket Team placed a lot of importance on this aspect.
After all, manpower was the most precious resource. If a Rocket King level trainer was born among these new members, Rocket's territory would be able to expand.
In short, Rocket didn't keep idle people. Every member of Rocket had a pre-arranged task to do almost every day, especially the logistics personnel who didn't need to take risks. Their work was heavier than the combat personnel's.
Of course, Rocket's personnel rotation was relatively reasonable. As long as they completed the stipulated work quota, they could leave early.
It was currently past 10 o 'clock, so Rocket's personnel were taking a break. There was still some time before lunch time, so there were more people moving around in the base's internal public market.
After Kaede Sato placed his tray in the designated place, he left the cafeteria alone. He then walked towards the public market according to the route he memorized yesterday. In fact, the public market was very close to the public cafeteria, but due to his lack of authority, he could only take a detour.
Along the way, Kaede Sato saw a lot of Rocket's personnel. When he met these people, he consciously stepped aside and let them pass.
In Rocket's internal department, hierarchy was very strict. For example, a person with a lower level had to make way for a person with a higher level. If both parties had a direct superior and subordinate relationship, they had to bow and salute each other.
"Oh, someone actually knows to come to the public market so quickly. Newcomer, what's your name? What's the elf you got? By the way, who's your instructor? " When Kaede Sato was about to enter the public market, a Rocket's personnel wearing the uniform of a squadron leader met him and stopped to call out to him.
Rocket's personnel were generally divided into nine levels: Soldier, Squad Leader, Squadron Leader, Squad Leader, Elite, Cadre, Top Cadre, Area Commander, and Leader.
Currently, the person in charge of the underground base in Nibi where Kaede Sato was located was a cadre. Her name was Hina, and she was a direct subordinate of Apollo, the Commander-in-Chief of the North of Kanto.
The squadron leader who called out to Kaede Sato was a mature woman. She was tall and curvy, and her breasts were especially voluptuous. Her appearance was also quite charming. She had long, curly pink hair and was currently wearing light makeup. There was no doubt that she had the charm of a mature woman. (Her appearance was similar to the elder sister of the female thieves in Shuidu.)
"Hello, Squadron Leader. My name is Kaede Sato. The elf I just got is the Ultrasonic Bat. My current instructor is Caesar." In the face of the question from the female squadron leader who was far above him, Kaede Sato raised his slightly lowered head and answered with a flat expression.
After hearing Kaede Sato's answer and seeing the flat expression on his young face, the female squadron leader who exuded the charm of a mature woman also showed a hint of surprise in her eyes. Then she looked at Kaede Sato with interest with her beautiful big amber eyes.
"Little brother, am I not beautiful? Why don't you have any reaction at all? This is a bit uncute." After a few seconds, seeing that Kaede Sato was still indifferent, the female squadron leader frowned, and then simply pressed him against the wall. She looked at Kaede Sato who was looking at her in a charming manner and said.
Obviously, Kaede Sato's indifferent expression made the female squadron leader who was very confident in her charm doubt herself.
At this time, some of the Rocket members who walked by saw this scene. The men had an envious look on their faces, and they couldn't wait to replace Kaede Sato. The women turned their heads and hurriedly left, saying a few words like "shameless slut".
The female squadron leader was called Miyamoto Sakura. She was 25 years old this year and had been in the Rocket for six years. Like Kaede Sato, she was also a poor person without any background. However, after her own efforts, she had now climbed to the position of a squadron leader who could command a platoon.
Don't be fooled by her kind and charming appearance. In the Nepean Rockets underground base, she was known as the Thorny Rose. Her strength was one of the best among the squadron leaders in the Nepean Rockets. Any Rocket members who dared to offend her, unless they were of a higher rank than her, would be severely punished.
Kaede Sato's indifferent behavior successfully attracted the attention of this thorny rose. At this time, she wanted to see if Kaede Sato really didn't care about her charm at all. She was particularly disgusted by men who put on an act.
To be honest, if it was another young man of the same age as Kaede Sato, facing Miyamoto Sakura's extremely seductive teasing, he would have already lost control. However, Kaede Sato who had died once in two lives was different. He had long since become unaffected by beauty.
At the same time, he also sensed a fatal threat from Miyamoto Sakura. This made him unable to have any thoughts about her beauty.
The alluring scent of her body assaulted his nostrils. Looking at the mesmerizing snow-white skin in front of him, Kaede Sato could not help but swallow his saliva. However, he still maintained his indifferent expression. Even his eyes remained as calm as water.
"Hmph, what an uncute little brother. This is for you. Treat it as my greeting gift to a newbie like you. I have high hopes for you." After about ten seconds, Miyamoto Sakura saw that Kaede Sato still had no reaction. She had a helpless expression on her face. She let go of Kaede Sato and threw something to him. Then, she continued to walk forward, swaying her hips.
Kaede Sato caught the thing thrown to him by the other party. When he saw that it was a bright red portable lamp, he could not help but show a hint of joy in his eyes. However, he quickly reacted.
"Thank you for the gift, sir. It's very useful to me, but I can't accept it without doing anything. May I know your name? I'm willing to buy this portable lamp for the price in the points exchange system." Kaede Sato held the portable lamp and turned to Miyamoto Sakura, who had already walked a short distance away.
Unfortunately, Miyamoto Sakura did not pay attention to him. Instead, she continued to walk forward, swaying her slender waist. When she was about to turn the corner, she gave him a slightly charming look, smiled slightly, and disappeared from Kaede Sato's sight.
