There's no progress on the Black Extinction Virus research for now, so Su Mo decided not to worry about it.
After all, the virus source code is already in his hands.
It's just a matter of finding a trustworthy top-tier hacker.
This is only a matter of ti.
Su Mo returned to the office and opened the financial statent recently organized by the financial staff.
The Edge rcenary Corps currently has a total of 612 people, with 514 being combat rcenaries, excluding logistics personnel.
Due to the reputation gained, they've made many middleman and employer connections, resulting in an increasing number of commissions. Roughly thirty to forty commissions are received daily, with each paying from several thousand to tens of thousands.
After deducting daily maintenance costs for Edge Mansion, basic wages, and commission splits, the net profit daily is about 1 million.
Since the establishnt of Edge Mansion until today, the available funds on the books exceed 30 million.
For the size of the Edge rcenary Corps, this amount is not much.
But since eliminating the Tooth Tiger, Edge has been rising rapidly, with strength and economic growth accelerating daily. The speed of later capital accumulation will only snowball faster; this progress can be described as perfect.
While Su Mo was contentedly browsing the data, a pop-up ad appeared in the computer's lower right corner.
[Enchanting beaches covered with fine sand, gentle sea breezes like feathers, a sunset that adorns the azure coast, forming the most beautiful mont. This is the dreamy tourist destination, Saint Rivelan.]
Saint Rivelan, Su Mo knew of the place but hadn't been there.
Dawn is just a ga; players can only visit places involved in the main and side storylines.
Many locations exist only in the background setting, inaccessible directly, and Saint Rivelan is one of them.
According to the ga's geographical setting, Saint Rivelan is a seaside city located on the edge of the World Governnt Territory, boasting a vast coastline and a comfortable, pleasant climate, making it a famous resort area.
Su Mo clicked on the ad, looking at the beautiful scenery pictures, and a thought erged in his mind.
He took out his phone and sent a ssage in the big group:
[Everyone assemble in the conference room on the 6th floor at 3 PM to announce sothing @everyone]
...
At 3 PM, apart from so rcenaries executing commissions outside, others arrived at the conference room on ti.
Su Mo was on stage with the microphone, smiling: "Recently, many newcors have joined Edge. I see old and new mbers aren't familiar with each other, sotis feeling awkward, not knowing what to say when eting."
"It's just the right ti, nearing the end of the year. The Edge rcenary Corps has been established for half a year now and hasn't given everyone a proper vacation. So I've decided that next week we'll organize a team-building trip to Saint Rivelan, lasting ten days!"
The rcenaries all showed joyful expressions, clapping enthusiastically.
In this field, working on the edge of danger every day builds a lot of stress. If life rhythm lacks balance, it can really drive people crazy.
Though there have been one or two team-building events before, they've only been partying in Edge Mansion, organizing so small activities, not qualifying as vacations.
This ti, getting to vacation at a resort for ten days, everyone was incredibly excited.
Su Mo laughed and said: "Just a reminder, I know so people are rather socially anxious, not fond of group outings, so this team-building isn't mandatory."
"If you don't want to go, just send an email privately after the eting. During those ten days of the team-building, you can freely arrange your vacation."
"For those who wish to go, the whole trip includes chartered flights, five-star hotels, and three als. Once in Saint Rivelan, you'll have complete freedom. Hope you all have a great ti!"
"Oh—" The thoughtful arrangent made the conference room erupt into cheers, with rcenaries putting arms around their friends' shoulders, eagerly discussing the itinerary. The atmosphere turned extraordinarily lively.
After the eting, Su Mo and the administrative staff counted the number of participants for the team-building.
There are were 112 socially anxious folks who opted to arrange their own vacations.
Future is among them.
She's not socially anxious, just uninterested in traveling.
With so much new equipnt in the lab and Su Mo's blood sample yet to be researched, leaving for ten days not being able to do experints was sothing she felt was imprisonnt, not vacation.
The rest going to Saint Rivelan amounted to exactly 500 people.
Su Mo contacted New Moon City airport, chartered a large wide-body plane with a carrying capacity of over 500 people, and then contacted the famous Black Rose Hotel in Saint Rivelan, booking ten whole floors of rooms.
Overall, the vacation expenses are about 20 million, a rather large outlay.
But Su Mo was not stingy, waving a hand to approve it directly.
These funds were earned by everyone together for the rcenary Corps, not just his as the leader.
If even vacations are planned stingily, there's no fun in it.
Su Mo personally checked all details with the administrative staff, ensuring there were no mistakes, and then went to rest assured.
Ti quickly arrived at the night before the vacation.
Su Mo had already inford all middlen, telling them that Edge was taking a break for a while, and they hadn't sent new commissions over these few days, leaving the rcenaries carefree.
The vacation hadn't started yet, and the atmosphere was already spirited. rcenaries gathered at the 80th-floor entertainnt area, engaging in drinking and chatting, singing karaoke, bathing, and watching movies, all with joyful expressions.
Into the late night, KK and Dongdong were still passionately gaming in the esports room, frequently exclaiming and exchanging banter.
"Ah, is this it? Is this all the Second-in-Command of the Edge can do?"
"Don't get cocky! Watch this move... oh no, I died again!"
"I'm laughing so hard, a normal attack baited your special move, you'd need a miracle to beat ."
"KK, did you have supper? If not, then feast on my fist."
KK's gaming skills are top-notch in the Edge, second only to Su Mo.
Dongdong is only average, getting wrecked by KK repeatedly.
Unable to defeat KK in the ga, Dongdong resorted to real-world brawling, punching KK nurous tis after losing.
By midnight, KK had been punched at least a hundred tis.
Su Mo walked in while Dongdong was straddling KK, playfully tussling with him.
"Boss." KK looked up.
Su Mo laughed as he looked at them: "Still not sleeping this late?"
Dongdong hopped up, unable to sit still, full of excitent: "Can't sleep! This is my first trip ever. Just thinking about swimming in the sea, relaxing on the beach, gets so excited!"
KK rolled on the floor with excitent: "Sa here! I've never been outside New Moon City before. It's my first ti traveling. I want to eat coconuts and seafood barbecue, oh yeah!"
Su Mo chuckled mischievously: "Alright, don't get overly excited. We have an early flight tomorrow; don't oversleep and miss it."
Dongdong waved his hand: "Won't happen! KK and I agreed to ga all night tonight. Boss, you go rest, see you tomorrow!"
Su Mo left the energetic duo to their fun and went back to his room for so rest.
"This trip to Saint Rivelan, I wonder if there will be any adventures... it's really exciting."
