Daru's reaction was not as exaggerated as it seemed.
He was truly quite taken aback by the signing offer of 10,000 Neo-Earth Dollars, a small house and lot in a second-tier gated subdivision, 1 (S)-tier Legacy Sword Skill, three Sword Skills of his choice, 300,000 Swordcoins, 1,000 Actualizer Crystals, a few dozen potions and tonics, a level 60 S-tier Armor Set, experience boost scrolls, and ten enhancement gemstones of his choice.
'W-Why would they give all that just for signing…' Daru gulped in distrust.
But then, he remembered Hailey's words. Perhaps this was what she meant by the gap in financial capability.
What the government could offer was indeed not only "slightly less".
The recruitment agent of Steel Covenant grinned in satisfaction at his half-true reaction, especially pleased when he shook his head as if to remind himself not to bite so easily and check the other offers first.
