1118: Chapter 1104 Invitation 1118: Chapter 1104 Invitation “I, seem to have become a Big Boss…”

Although he was still just a “fourth-tier,” Lu Ping’an’s days on the ship might truly be comparable to those of a real Rule-level Big Boss.

And he had quite a pleasant vacation…

while everyone else was working overtime.

The opening of the courtyard and the operation of the Trading Land actually had little to do with him anymore, as there were professionals to handle it…

If a company’s “Boss” is busy with paperwork and daily matters, then there’s probably a big problem.

What Lu Ping’an needed to do was focus on “critical decisions” and “improving himself.”

“Don’t make major mistakes and prioritize self-improvement…”

This is the world of professionals, a paradise for the Extraordinary, and after all is said and done, strength still does the talking.

It’s not that high-order professionals can’t play the game of power, it’s just that the cost-effectiveness is too low—a Rule-level’s word is more effective than any “Authority” or “Promise.”

Those people, rather than being “friendly” towards Lu Ping’an, have always respected Lu Ping’an’s “strength” more.

A Quasi-rule under the age of twenty (as seen by outsiders) can gain all the respect he wants, especially when he even has several Rule-level slayings on his record.

In the eyes of most professionals, a Rule-level person is like a live nuclear warhead.

Now, with the “nuclear bomb” casually chatting and laughing in front of you, if you don’t rush to flatter him, at the very least don’t be foolish enough to provoke and offend him, right?

But now is not the time to approach actively, as the Big Boss seems to be drinking coffee in the coffee shop with a calm appearance but occasionally frowning and sighing as if in a terrible mood.

So, even fewer people dare to approach…

Fearing being the target of displaced anger is one thing, but more importantly, the troublesome issues this kind of beings face, if ordinary people get involved, they might not even leave behind ashes.

Perhaps he’s indeed troubled by having too many issues and too few losers to deal with.

The Big Boss sighed out loud, could it be he’s encountered issues like Rule-level blockades or challenges from Quasi-Gods?

It’s said that he rushed to meet with the Aus people and offended several Evil Gods, or perhaps he’s here to meet another Big Boss…

“…How can I stop the cats from fighting?”

Yes, this is the real reason Lu Ping’an hasn’t spoken aloud.

He was sitting in the coffee shop early in the morning, not because of important matters or a private meeting with someone, but simply because the “cats” at home were fighting, making it unbearable for him to stay.

After the initial sweetness, Little Eve showed one of the main reasons she was sealed in the first place—her unrestraint and rebellious nature, and Chris was always strong-willed.

And once a conflict arose, the dark and teasing Fei’er would chime in now and then…

and after the initial forbearance, Chris was never one to patiently educate others.

Go to the duel field…” Anyway, there have been quite a few earthquakes in the courtyard lately.

The fighting was too intense, and Lu Ping’an suspected that if he hadn’t used Life Coins to buy Eve’s “no entry into Rule-level for a year,” she might have just broken through in anger.

And Eve, even if taught a lesson, is not one to hold back…

the verbal provocations return, and so, the cycle continues, the fighting never ceasing.

Sometimes it’s one-on-one, sometimes one against two, and sometimes even Lu Ping’an can’t help but get dragged into a one-against-three fight…

Uh, still unable to win, just taking a beating.

The house was too lively, and having been dragged into cat fights repeatedly, Lu Ping’an couldn’t stand it, so he had to come out for coffee early in the morning.

“Yo, waiting for us?”

But some people approached him proactively.

The Li Brothers approached, as mediators for the Big Boss, they had interacted with Lu Ping’an several times.

Although there were some unpleasant experiences before (where the brothers were beaten unilaterally), but they were young and now barely on the same front, at least a cooperative relationship could be maintained, with a basis for an allyship.

Lu Ping’an pondered for a moment and felt that the reason “the cat at home is too noisy” was too embarrassing, so he smiled and nodded slightly as if to agree.

He then simply took out his notebook and took the opportunity to ask the Two Holy Sons for guidance on the teachings of the Lady of the Forest…

“…er, should we order some food first?”

“Yes, we haven’t had breakfast yet.”

The subtle expressions on their faces and the obvious change of topic indicated everything.

Although they were “Holy Sons”, they preferred to be Tool Men; the scriptures were probably always by their side, occasionally needing to be consulted, with memorization being part of their duties…

“…We two brothers, we’re not so good with books.” Having previously embarrassed themselves with a query, this time the brothers straightforwardly admitted defeat.

Shedding their initial stereotyped impressions and having acknowledged Lu Ping’an, the Two Holy Sons also discarded their pretenses.

They were slightly older than Lu Ping’an but still in the same age group.

Even though they were high-level, they actually harbored some fear of Lu Ping’an.

“…It’s alright, I won’t ask about doctrine.

I’m asking about operation, I’ve awakened two Professional Abilities of the Lady of the Forest type, can you tell me some application techniques…”

For the Lady of the Forest type abilities, Lu Ping’an learned exceptionally quickly, even often reading theories and teachings and inexplicably awakening Professional Abilities.

Obviously, this was the result of an exceedingly high compatibility, and in the eyes of the Two Holy Sons…

“…You are indeed more suited to become the Saint of My Lord than we are.

It took us months to awaken our first Professional Ability, and we aren’t as adept at using them as you…”

The pair, who were normally not easy to impress, behaved very politely.

But Lu Ping’an could see that they seemed to have some concerns and anxieties; it didn’t seem like the time to ask for advice on lessons…

“Everyone is quite busy (though Lu Ping’an was actually quite free), so if you have something to say, just say it.”

“It’s , we heard you’re an old stager in Exotic Realm exploration, and we brothers have never ventured out…”

The reason, it turned out, was Lu Ping’an’s specialty.

Exotic Realm exploration was not solely the work of Civilian personnel like Lu Ping’an; on the contrary, although they were numerous, they weren’t necessarily the main force.

“…Our power has encountered some minor trouble on a planet; the local residents are not friendly, and it’s not just us humans who are eyeing that world.”

The Proper God Church, with its vast power and numerous base depths, can be considered in many respects as a military force, a legion, so to speak.

While “freelance” individuals like Lu Ping’an would be strategizing for third-tier or fourth-tier worlds, the Proper God Church would often clash head-on with certain powers in worlds that were already deemed “potential” or “wealthy.”

In the great chess game of decision-makers, a Proper God Church was like a regular legion, often active on more valuable “frontlines”…

of course, they could also be seen as fighting to seize new worlds for themselves.

Such a huge “body” needed more nutrients; they wouldn’t even be willing to engage in second-tier or third-tier worlds.

Those particularly outstanding powers of the Proper God Church even had the capacity and confidence to strategize for several worlds at once, but sometimes, things did not proceed smoothly.

“We brothers want to go out and would like to ask for your opinion.

This world with the code ‘Mercury 42′, its current situation is a bit messy; is it appropriate for us to become involved…”

As they spoke, the brothers revealed a somewhat hopeful look.

Lu Ping’an was taken aback; such questions required professionals, didn’t your side have any?

But seeing the hopeful look in the brothers’ eyes, Lu Ping’an understood.

Oh, it was an invitation…

As a member of the Lady of the Forest’s force, Lu Ping’an indeed had the qualifications to venture to those worlds.

And it seemed that it was time to make a crucial decision.
