Chapter 1636: Chapter 1636
1636: Chapter 1632: Three Years 1636: Chapter 1632: Three Years Time is the most magical magician, it always turns all sorts of unacceptable matters into the daily norm.
Only when people look back do they realize that many things had completely changed, finding themselves unknowingly adapted to the new era, embracing a whole new version of themselves they never dared to imagine before…
“The war with the Sea Devils has entered its third year, and our country has secured victories on all fronts.
The incidence of invasion-related deaths has dropped by 30% this year…”
Having just exited the drop pod, a somewhat matured Lu Ping’an seemed to hear some good news.
Sea Devils is the common name given by ordinary people to those from the exotic realms of the Sea Tribe, and this initial defense war of the plane was thus named.
A reduction of thirty percent?
Wasn’t it the Great Counteroffensive this time last year?
We were the attackers then, so naturally, there were fewer losses in the rear, meow.”
To the left of Lu Ping’an stood Meow, who had grown quite a bit after her growth spurt, stretching suddenly if it weren’t for her habit of walking with a cat’s hunch, she might appear taller than him when standing by his side.
Over two years had passed, and her face hasn’t changed much, still pure and naive…
The biggest change was probably the obvious curves brought by physical maturity.
Now, though still lazy in dressing up, the golden ponytail she wore exuded the magic of the sun(Divine Curse), and without looking at her face, the cat-woman with sunglasses exuded a seductive mature allure…
mainly stemming from those tattered jeans and those barely contained white long legs.
“The Cat of Slaughter” of the King of Mercy, now a seventh-tier master, she also earned her own title, but there’s a simpler and more straightforward name—Lu Ping’an’s Cat.
“This is just the basic ability of journalism, always patching together a material to satisfy their propaganda targets…
This sort of thing, you only need to read the headline.
But the emergence of fake news is a type of information itself.
If you see that the broadcaster is official media, it generally indicates the overall situation is okay because promoting festivities amid surrounding issues can lead to problems.
As official media, they’d better sing when the overall situation is good, the fact that they dare to write this way shows that the situation must indeed be not bad…”
To the right of Lu Ping’an, Catherine pushed her glasses up, being a Phosphor person, she shouldn’t have changed much, but now her red hair, red eyes, and red nails, with traces of golden blaze flitting across her eyelids and forehead, her entire demeanor seemed like a Flame Embodiment, evidently much advanced in the Path of the Holy Fire.
“Big trader’s dog,” Catherine…
in a sense, it was Meow’s fault she earned this title.
After all, when Meow served as Lu Ping’an’s top assassin, this top secretary and counselor of Lu Ping’an often handled various business acquisitions, transactions, and deceptions…
In a sense, bearing responsibility for interests, her reputation was indeed quite poor.
The trio had just exited the “Airport” and saw a black sedan waiting outside, a government car bearing the license plate Ancient A007.
The one “picking up” them, although Lu Ping’an didn’t recognize, Catherine mentioned she had seen him several times on the TV news.
Lu Ping’an went straight over and then received a handshake and a warm smile.
Lu, I am Jiang Xin’an, Deputy Secretary-General of the Ancient city Office, and I heard you’ve returned…”
The enthusiastic Deputy Secretary-General of the Ancient city Office came forward proactively, introducing himself as a government servant and logistic supporter, specifically here to pick them up.
In essence, considering the unique political structure of Eastern Country, a director managing ‘miscellaneous tasks’ actually means he’s in charge of everything not specifically listed, often one of the most influential figures in the government, and his coming was naturally not just out of politeness.
Lu, the new round of naval battleship bidding has started, with our enterprises standing a good chance.
Also, the Great Counteroffensive seems to be in planning as well, if possible, the troops of Ancient city could have a better war sequence…”
In the car, the officer couldn’t wait to start selling the idea.
It is known that Lu is famously elusive, making this a rare occasion of his return, and who knows where he would run off to afterwards.
Time often flies especially fast after busy periods.
It has been two years since the Sakura Island campaign, and the world has changed a lot, with only war and business never ceasing.
Following the campaign known as “The Great Sakura Retreat”, Lu Ping’an proposed to resign and left the military region…
In fact, he had already completed his duty, and even if he did not leave, someone more suitable would have been appointed to take over his job.
After all, during the war, it’s better to have a professional in the commander’s position.
Lu Ping’an had fulfilled his “glue” historical mission.
And Lu Ping’an, back to his own life, couldn’t possibly remain idle.
Some developments also validated Lu Ping’an’s judgment.
Over the past two years, the Eastern Country was in a strategic defensive posture, but with the arrival of new weapons, equipment, technologies, and Foreign Domain warriors, the time for a strategic counterattack was approaching.
I haven’t decided yet to join the counteroffensive.”
“You’re joking again…
Lu, your return is well-timed.
It is said that the First Fleet will attempt to reclaim the Southern Islands within three months…..”
Lu Ping’an sighed, it seemed like he couldn’t avoid it.
the day after, I will visit the office to talk in detail.
I’ve just returned and need to catch up on the situation.”
Lu Ping’an, back to his own life, still keeps his own pace.
In fact, staying simply within his own area would cause him to lose his greatest value….
During these days, Lu Ping’an still travels in the Exotic Realm, and at the same time, plants his own “Forest Land” on those human Exotic Realm planets.
That is a part of the Courtyard, and a part of Lu Ping’an himself, most importantly, it allows ordinary people to become professionals safely, which is the greatest chip for human expansion into the Exotic Realm.
Of course, such “Forest Lands” require different costs according to the world environment, but they still became one of humanity’s core strategic logistics.
Throughout this process, Lu Ping’an also accomplished a feat similar to Lord Xiuyi, sowing “himself” across various worlds in the Multi-universe.
But more so, Lu Ping’an completed his own growth and great achievements.
On one hand, as usual, involved in Exotic Realm exploration and business activities, and on the other hand, it was also the growth of Lu Ping’an himself and his power.
And in the other half of the time, Lu Ping’an is also active on Earth, engaging in various business activities and wars, and has also established a lot of merit….
During the war defense period, such a level of activity is already enough.
This time, he had just returned to Earth when he encountered the invitation, and it seems that the rumors of Eastern Country organizing a strategic counteroffensive are likely true.
“No rush, let’s first see what has happened recently….”
