Chapter 1498: Chapter 1498
1498: Chapter 1494: Unexpected Gain 1498: Chapter 1494: Unexpected Gain The utterly still Lu Ping’an was sternly repulsed by harsh reality.
And this particular encounter, especially the experience of being pursued by a Quasi-God, also prompted the frontline Military Commission to issue him a warning, a very formal written warning.
In all their calculations, they simply could not afford the possibility of Lu Ping’an dying in battle.
Not to mention the distant future, the loss of the Trading Land would be a strategically unacceptable defeat…
A substantial part of the Eastern Country’s enormous additional investment had at least come for the “Risk-free Mass Production Professional.”
If Lu Ping’an’s death led to the loss of this strategic need and started to consider withdrawing their investment…
If you die, it really could cause this world to be destroyed.”
Lulu’s private remark was heavy, but what was heavier was that Lu Ping’an knew it to be true.
Not to count the openly “produced professionals,” he still had several projects in his hands that also involved the survival of the entire world.
Without him, the Lamp Tree would truly just be a glowing tree; the God of Struggle and Redemption, which was rapidly growing, would also end there; all plans would cease.
If he were gone, as the “lubricant” among the forces of Lin Nu, New Kingdom, and Eastern Country…
They should still cooperate as usual, the world wouldn’t collapse because it was short one person, but their degree of cooperation and trust would significantly diminish.
War is a comparison of national power and population.
Characters like Lu Ping’an had become incredibly significant.
Merely the reality of his continuous generation of professionals could greatly unite all the major forces.
Lulu may have been exaggerating a bit, but it surely wasn’t nonsense.
Lu Ping’an sighed and became a bit more honest.
that’s something I simply cannot accept.”
“Alright, alright, I just went out for a stroll, that’s all.”
Lu Ping’an was somewhat helpless.
He already vaguely felt that there must be a Strongman “loitering” around him.
If he still wanted to go out and have fun, someone was bound to block him.
At least, to follow him around, not letting him have too much fun.
Lu Ping’an hadn’t expected to grapple with an Overlord Level creature to the death.
In fact, killing it wasn’t really his doing…
but as soon as he stepped out the door, he had encountered all these troublesome things, even being hunted by a Quasi-God,
“At least, let’s do some proper work first.”
First and foremost, was to report to the Military Commission and award Meow with a commendation.
Lu Ping’an had not intended to take credit for this achievement, which was Meow’s prey after all.
Consequently, Meow received a First-Class War Medal.
It was one of the first batch of top class medals from the New Kingdom, making her one of the first war heroes of the New Kingdom.
The eerie title “Cat of Death” appeared in the reports the next day.
Of course, she was described as a Scout who took the initiative to explore the Otherworldly realms, found an opportunity, and assassinated an Overlord’s great achievement.
For a while, she was the center of attention, to say the least.
A character barely meeting the standards of a sixth-tier, just like that, took down an eighth-tier—it looked like a myth from any angle.
In reality, she indeed accomplished a mythical feat.
Death of the Phoenix (Mid-Level Golden): Two ‘Undying’ have fallen to it, it has awakened its own destiny….]
Her tier had not changed, but the description had, and Lu Ping’an felt the pulses within this Javelin group.
Previously, Lu Ping’an gave “Longinus” to it, unexpectedly it truly carried out the Slayer God’s mighty deed and further embarked on its Path of Fate.
Actually, if Meow weren’t too feeble in essence, lacking the ability to touch “fate,” she too could have experienced a qualitative change, or gotten the “Hero’s naming.”
“Heh, Longinus was the name of that old soldier who stabbed Jesus…”
Lu Ping’an had realized, if he continued to wield this set of guns, it was likely more “Gods” would seek him out.
Luckily, it seemed to have found its most suitable owner.
“Meow, I’ll let the Craftsman team make a javelin bag for you to carry around with you, how about that?”
Will it charge meow?”
“No charge, consider it an extra part of the reward.”
An excited Meow had no idea what awaited her.
Lu Ping’an looked forward to the day when this set of weapons evolved into “Lei Shuiyun’s Slayer God Javelin.”
In the following week, her progress seemed blessed by the divine, not only did her main Profession easily surpass the sixth-tier, but she even faintly touched upon the rules.
“Contamination does not vanish, it only transfers,” hunting such a high-tier being was, for her, an overly abundant reward.
Even just the feedback from the Slayer God weapon was enough for her to upgrade.
In fact, her main Path as a Cliff Walker was already a “Hunter,” so killing such creatures was fulfilling her Path.
To avoid getting too carried away, Big Cat spared no effort in giving her extra training, much to her constant complaints.
But since Chris was brimming with enthusiasm, no one would stop her…
“In the past, it was just treated as an additional practice exercise, but now, it seems she’s regarded as a Disciple in some aspect.”
Meow’s Beast Tamer expertise was in shambles, the Runner profession was self-taught, but her proficiency in the Cliff Walker Battle-profession was really good.
As a cat-themed Fighter and Assassin, she indeed matched very well with Chris.
As for Lu Ping’an’s side, it was another style of “catch-up” lessons.
After all, he was in logistics…
Knowledge and technology were his Power, and the production line output was his real contribution.
Truly beginning to “play with puppets,” Lu Ping’an discovered that he actually had a certain accumulation.
Lu Ping’an had the ability to convert non-biological into biological from the very beginning, though his improvement in the Craftsman was mostly in the naming system of “Greedy Craftsman.”
But in reality, these were not conflicting at all.
Lu Ping’an couldn’t help but think of the fairy tale, the puppet in the story that was given a name, and the fact that its “nose” could still grow, doesn’t that signify that it was still alive?
Acting on a whim, Lu Ping’an had already lined up a variety of puppets on his “toy production line.”
Creating puppets from Living wood, bestowing their personalities with names, then tossing them into the “water” to awaken their Life.
Lu Ping’an shook his head, it clearly wasn’t going to be easy.
It seems, I can no longer simply use the Chaos cauldron to do everything.”
Within the Craftsman, the Puppet Master was a unique Path, it had a vast accumulation of Knowledge and Skill, clearly, Lu Ping’an’s attempt to achieve everything with a cauldron was too ambitious.
This time, it seemed, Lu Ping’an had to earnestly catch up on his lessons.
But he wasn’t frustrated; on the contrary, he was somewhat excited.
Because on this Path, he had found what he had long been searching for.
“Perhaps, both Zhi Xi and Mumu could evolve because of this, and the evolution of my Magic Pets also means I’m one step closer to being an eighth-tier.”
