Chapter 1139: Chapter 1139

1139: Chapter 1125: Choose One of Six 1139: Chapter 1125: Choose One of Six “Congratulations to Ancient City Shuttle Factory One for becoming one of the first trial units for our waterborne small transportation…”

When the winning envelope was opened, a long-suppressed cheer erupted in a corner of the hall.

The overburdened staff celebrated with each other, even hugging each other, but when Wang Xier found Lu Ping’an, she saw a teenager with a tired face….

He seemed to have heard nothing and cared about nothing.

“…..You don’t seem very happy.”

it’s just that I won’t get excited over something that has been a certainty for months.”

As Lu Ping’an said, while the employees below were anxiously fearing loss and hoping for gain, the big bosses had actually settled the outcome long ago.

The order had already been secured, and even thanks to Lu Ping’an’s interference, the originally malicious mines had been cleared.

Although there was still a clause stating “if not qualified (not applicable), subsequent orders will be cancelled,” it had been changed to a staged delivery with compensation paid by the client.

Lu Ping’an used various insider deals to clear mines for Ancient City.

The Feisuo Factory 1 in the Development Zone…..

Ancient City was definitely going to profit from this project, as for how much, that would depend on the final product they could produce.

After all, no matter how great Lu Ping’an’s “face” was, he wouldn’t allow the shuttle factory to provide substandard products for the frontline warriors to squander.

we will work hard, this time we will also hurry to purchase some new technologies and recruit some new experts.”

“Heh, good, hurry up.”

Lu Ping’an gave a chuckle, the upcoming work truly didn’t concern him anymore.

For him, it was already the latter half of his “vacation period,” and he was beginning to prepare for the upcoming Mercury 42 exploration …..

In fact, standing in his position, as a frontline warrior about to use “water transportation,” he actually felt a bit like reaching out to professional manufacturers for orders.

In reality, he had already done so, and there were a batch of water facilities, tools, and transportation equipment from other manufacturers in his courtyard, of course, these were words he wouldn’t speak out loud, as they could affect morale.

“Mercury 42 has quite a lot of resources, interested?”

Lu Ping’an even casually extended an invitation to Wang Xier, but she responded with a wry smile and a shake of her head.

She fondly remembered the “exciting” career of an explorer, but if she did it again, it would be too “exciting” and would affect her current work…..

she had already been traveling back and forth multiple times between Dragon Moon and Ancient City this month, and she really didn’t dare neglect her family affairs.

“However, I’ve heard about your situation…..

As she spoke, Wang Xier felt a bit of regret and a hint of sourness.

Initially, when she hosted Lu Ping’an, she indeed looked down on him from a position and comprehensive force, but now he was mingling with rule-level bosses….

She regretted a little, wondering if she had made a heavier bet back then, whether she could have recruited him earlier.

“Ha, happy about what…”

Lu Ping’an really didn’t feel joyful, he had been working overtime to the point of numbness.

These bosses knew his courtyard had limited business hours, often holding meetings or working overtime in the middle of the night, making him quite annoyed and yet unable to complain.

However, his team did indeed benefit greatly from this.

For instance, he finally hired a Great Demon Pharmacist, and a semi-rule-level boss was convinced by him to take up residence in the courtyard regularly.

For example, he invited those rule-level and quasi-rule-level Gardeners to help plan his own “Garden”…

The new machinery and planning go without saying; the efficiency and effects were several times greater than the past Garden, but the biggest change was actually the “species” within the Garden.

In places where Life professionals gathered, various “trades” were naturally commonplace, and the Courtyard became the highest-grade “flower and bird market” in the South during this period, with all kinds of rare Magic Plants, species, and knowledge being traded here.

Lu Ping’an naturally reaped a lot.

At the same time, to really make a big splash, he also invited two high-level Craftsmen to settle in…

In the past, these elite Craftsmen would not even spare a glance for someone like Lu, but now, they were fighting head over heels for a spot.

One of the Craftsmen who settled in specialized in “forging,” and the other in “engineering,” both were master professionals urgently needed by Lu Ping’an’s side, accompanied by a team of mid to high-tier assistant Craftsmen.

Meanwhile, Lu Ping’an also invited a team of experts and mechanics from Ancient City Shuttle Factory One to settle in; they were now drawing two salaries concurrently.

One portion was for working for Lu Ping’an, and the other was for when they arrived on Mercury 42, to adjust and maintain the waterborne vehicles of their own factory.

Even though they were already classed as “near-pollutants,” the changing of worlds would definitely bring a series of problems; whoever could adapt to the new environment the fastest would have the last laugh in the rush for orders.

The seemingly listless Lu Ping’an was actually very busy; even though he had delegated a lot of authority, there were some things he still couldn’t relax about.

For instance, these “future matters” involving team development, as well as networking and socializing with those rule-level bosses, and dealing with one Strongman after another coming to curry favor…

The last task, in particular, proved to be the most challenging.

“Ah, isn’t that our brother Lu?

Come on, I’ll treat you to a meal.”

At first, when Lu Ping’an met with these friendly invitations from the bosses, he found it hard to decline; thus, there came a day when he ate four lunches, played three games, and had four late-night meals…

that he didn’t die of overindulgence or alcohol poisoning was a testament to his professional capabilities.

But now, he refused without hesitation.

“The birth of gold coins has little to do with me, you guys keep up the good work.”

After Lu Ping’an announced his abilities and the means to acquire “Life Coins,” many came forward to actively curry favor…

but the results were quite subtle.

By now, the number of Newborns had also surpassed two digits, with just one among them causing Lu Ping’an some hesitation, afraid to use the ability on himself.

we, also use this ability?”

When Fei’er stepped forward, attempting to acquire this special trait, everyone was stunned.

On one hand, because she was genuinely rule-level and, from a certain perspective, this was like handing the knife to Lu Ping’an, while her relationship with Lu Ping’an was still rather delicate.

“My spiritual intuition tells me this would be very beneficial for us.

As for the ability’s limitations…

Xiao Mu is still fourth-tier, and you’ve had her two gold coins for a while now.”

True enough, the Little Girl’s “favor” was ridiculously easy to farm.

“Fine, I’ll give it a try, but just so we’re clear, I’m not responsible for the consequences…”

Fei’er and Qian Xiaomu’s cases were so exceptional that Lu Ping’an had no idea what might happen.

A part of this ability’s original components actually originated from their situation; the “Rule” of the “Twins” was a lower-level replica of theirs.

At present, there are five forms that they’ve categorized.

To me, they are all Life: ‘Parasitic Limb,’ ‘Symbiotic Entity,’ ‘Soul Armament,’ ‘Battle Companion,’ and ‘Formless Child.’ I can’t guarantee which one you’ll get; it’s entirely random…”

Lu Ping’an went through various requirements proficiently, and upon actual use of the ability…

“This is probably the sixth outcome…”

When both “Fei’er” and “Xiao Mu” appeared, another “me” hand in hand with the original body, Lu Ping’an was completely stupefied.
