Chapter 1177: Chapter 1177

1177: Chapter 1163: Wind Direction 1177: Chapter 1163: Wind Direction “For those who rob, kill, or rape on their own initiative, death.”

The most straightforward and simple three major crimes are also the “bottom line” for an intelligent creature to be considered a person.

“For those who promote beliefs other than the human Gods, death.”

Lu had no interest in disputing the freedom of belief, in this era and world where the survival space of races and the holy war of the Deities were intertwined, heretics were almost equivalent to the enemies of the ethnic group.

Lu Ping’an pondered for a moment, and although his OCD made him want to come up with a third rule, after considering everything, he decided that this was enough.

For Lu Ping’an to say these things was actually a bit too much, considering he was just a newcomer, with no official position or responsibilities…

but since this was a chaotic city without order, the “power” in Lu Ping’an’s hands could make everything go smoothly.

The “Grey Organization” faced with the earnest elite professionals, had no chance of resisting, and Meow, who always forgot her “specialization in assassination”, also easily completed all the hunts.

In chaotic times, strict laws were in order.

Lu Ping’an had neither the time nor the interest to play with rule by law or by people.

He hung the corpses of those “big shots” on the city gates, letting them enjoy the traditional “pirate” treatment of Earth.

And really, the effect was pretty good.

at least from the perspective of ordinary people who clandestinely threw stones at the corpses, these guys really hadn’t done much for the people.

Lu Ping’an also laid down two requirements, any more and the Fishmen probably wouldn’t be able to remember them.

The Long Hand Clan was relatively manageable…

of course, mainly because the powerless couldn’t be defiant.

The Fishmen had some extraordinary powers to a greater or lesser extent, but the Long Hand Clan clearly did not.

Lu Ping’an’s overstepping his bounds also led many to wait and see, expecting the Quasi-God or her subordinates to step in and give a lesson to this young man who had no idea of his place and showed no respect to his seniors.

But nothing happened, as if everything was taken for granted…

“This is a big shot…”

As more and more news came in, Lu Ping’an, in turn, naturally received more “respect” and “friendliness.”

And this “blind boss,” always sat by the sea with a smile, playing with gold coins obtained from who knows where, passing the time.

But no one would take him for a fixture anymore…

The pile of bones on that warship, along with the man’s past “Rule-level hunting” experience, all showcased his strength.

Lu suffered yet reveled in pleasure, and he also gained some rather interesting new toys.

The Fishman Leader helped him tame a group of sea creatures for the Long Hand Clan mercenaries to use…

although Lu’s “Small Flying Shuttle” was very useful, the current modes of “riding” and “dragging” were not suitable for the mercenary javelin throwers.

At the same time, Lu Ping’an also had the fortune to visit the Big Shot’s “zoo.”

“…Interesting, but it’s a pity I can’t have one…”

Looking at the super sea beast in front of him, as big as a blue whale, Lu Ping’an really coveted it.

Mercury 42 is a rich world with abundant heritage, for most Life Series Professions, it exudes an attractive aura in all aspects.

Gardeners, Beast Tamers, and Healers; the growth resource of Life system professions is “life” itself.

Gardeners come to collect Magic Plants to cultivate new species, Beast Tamers enrich their Magic Pet stock and also share the “rules” of this world.

Healers have too many branches, with combat-oriented and alternative needs being basically completely different, but unchanged is the reality of treating “life” as material and ingredient…

They are also one of the few groups that will directly purchase corpses and flesh.

Lu Ping’an himself saw two large Assembled Beasts and Bio-beasts.

This seems to be the method Beast Tamers and Healers use to counter the Octopus.

Once the creature is freed from its original rules and becomes an “artificial person,” the Octopus’s dominance over sea life forms naturally fails.

“…So this is the high-end market?”

With a reputation and strength, although still very young, Lu Ping’an became one of the core high-level members of the Linnu Force.

Quite naturally, he gained a lot through “interaction” and “trade” with local High-Tier Professionals.

Gardeners exchanged seeds of Magic Plants, Beast Tamers exchanged their collected genetic samples and young beasts, while Healers were often the most high-end; they exchanged research notes and practical materials.

When an entire planet with its ecological chain is presented before the Life System Church, it’s hard for them not to invest all their energy and strength into it.

However, the same problem remains: for most ordinary professionals, the combat intensity is still too high, especially when they are outnumbered in various situations.

At this time, Lu’s “mercenary plan” also earned its first pot of gold.

That javelin throw—tasty!”

“They’re said to be first-tier professionals, but I’m afraid even 2-tier professionals or even third-tier Sea Beasts might be pierced through by that one hit.”

I’m quite in need of remote firepower; maybe I’ll buy some to try…”

Naturally, Lu Ping’an’s side received more “business.”

What surprised Lu Ping’an was that maybe the Long Hand Javelineers really were a blessed ethnic group; after just a few days of bloody battles, some had successfully advanced to the second tier.

They assumed the role of “2-tier Lancers,” which compensated for their nearly non-existent close combat capabilities and their embarrassingly poor performance in prolonged battles.

But after all, even Lu Ping’an hadn’t decided what would be better for their “specific Advancement Path” at second tier.

“Need more combat experience to gather…”

Lu Ping’an wasn’t in a hurry.

He sped up the training of the low-level Spear Throwers and sent them out even more.

Some things are visible to the naked eye.

When warriors from the Long Hand Clan proved their strength on the battlefield, the local “nasty Fishmen” also became much friendlier towards the Long Hand Clan’s old, weak, sick, and disabled.

Lu Ping’an’s little shop gradually opened for business, trading various goods at a steady and high speed.

At the same time, he sent his team members to the front line of the “national wars” in batches…

The battles against small soldiers and wild creeps were completely different from fighting real legions and bosses.

The opponents here were mostly from the Octopus ethnic group, but in terms of strength and quantity, they were not at all on the same level as before.

Lu Ping’an had seen the sea surface covered with Single Wooden Boats and Fishmen swimmers mingling among them; in such battlefields, little wooden boats could count as an effective offensive weapon.

Those Fishmen would really go as far as to be smashed into a clump of flesh by a large ship just to slash at your warship once.

Strong fighting courage?

No, it’s just that they were mad from the very beginning.

Their pupils were red, ignoring pain and fear, and they would rush over at full speed, just like zombies.

In such a battlefield, injuries and casualties were inevitable, and Lu became more determined to “build a local armed force.”

When the opponent is willing to exchange lives with you at all costs, continuing to fight stubbornly is always neither cost-effective nor efficient and safe.

“Not all Fishmen are like that.

The ‘Rum Fishmen’ are the most numerous.

They look quite short and are actually very weak, but often a female can mass-produce more than thirty offspring at once, and after just two years of training, they can be sent directly to the battlefield.

There’s no end to them…”

“Oh, those Fishmen seem quite strong.

I heard he has the Dragon bloodline, a rare type with Talent Abilities, very precious…”

“Powerful species have a hard time reproducing, while creatures like goblins are easy to mass-produce?

Among the branches of Fishmen, it seems there is indeed a reality—the more powerful they are, the harder they are to reproduce…”

As expected, Lu Ping’an also gained more “knowledge” and “intelligence” from the Fishman Leader.

At the same time, he also received more “Biological Weapons” and “War Weapons” tailored to fight against Fishmen from his own kind.

Lu Ping’an continued to adopt a cautious development strategy, only tentatively testing the waters at the front line, while stockpiling troops and resources, allowing more Long Hand Clan members and friendly Fishmen to undergo a “qualitative change.” On the other hand, he allowed his companions to adapt to the front-line battlefield and enjoy the frenzied chaos of the battlefield.

But more importantly, it was that seemingly nonexistent Quasi-God, who finally sent Lu Ping’an a small gift he couldn’t refuse.
