Lu Ping’an really didn’t expect that this trip would cause such a stir.
"Forget it, I’m tired, let’s just destroy everything..."
Upon just arriving in Wanjing, Lu Ping’an received an overly enthusiastic welco.
Various departnt-level units sent high-ranking officials; there were morning tours, afternoon inspections, evening banquets... The next day continued with inspections and all sorts of chaotic etings.
It seed they were afraid Lu Ping’an wouldn’t be pleased and negotiations would collapse.
"When can we talk business?"
"Just wait... It looks like they plan to drag it out until after the New Year."
The end-of-year eting is mostly just a formality, with docunts and intelligence shared from above, allowing everyone to bond.
Of course, the five-year or three-year etings are different... But this one is really just an ordinary annual summary.
"I guess, when the high level ets with the governors from the various state capitals, they’ll have a face-to-face with you to secure relations... They probably want to confirm whether you plan to return."
Lu is also quite helpless, but being in Jianghu he can’t always act on his own will. Since he’s working in the Eastern Country, so rules must be followed.
As the current Human God residing in the capital, Lu Ping’an naturally enjoyed the close services of various Advanced Combat Power... Whether you cause trouble or not is one thing, but the necessary chanisms here must be in place.
At this mont, Lu Ping’an almost envied the Order God in the heavens; at least they don’t attract so much attention because of the actions of their avatar.
"I’ve said countless tis, I’m not rebelling nor planning to secede!!"
Lu Ping’an hung up the phone directly; this ti it wasn’t fishing for law enforcent, the "Evil God" on the other end genuinely wanted to change the world.
And soone who can chat directly with Lu Ping’an was also a current Human God above Quasi-God level... Those increasingly exaggerated rumors attracted people genuinely looking for trouble.
"... The developnt of the Ancient City has crossed the line; it can be regarded as an independent state, and if placed in other continents, it ets the standard of an independent country."
Lu sighed, regretting his lazy tendency to stay put for a few years... Now, just a bit of movent has made him the top news.
In a sense, it’s also because of his excessive delegation of power; he doesn’t manage things, letting demigods work below him, resulting in him becoming more reclusive, and amidst expanding influence, he has unintentionally turned into a legendary figure.
Now that he’s erged, people seeking cooperation, attempting rebellion, or just trying to beco familiar with him are endless... So people, even Lu Ping’an finds hard to refuse.
Had he not clearly stated that he’s just a temporary visitor and will head to the Exotic Realm after the New Year, the trouble would be tenfold.
"At this point, I’ve finally confird that I am indeed a notable figure..."
Sowhat helpless, sowhat realistic, but Lu Ping’an now has too many concerns and cannot simply run away.
He needs to reassure everyone.
Reassure the authorities, he will return, the investnts on Earth and in the Eastern Country were not wasted... He t with the leadership to discuss various topics, even attended the various State’s Congress, delivering a speech he himself found awkward.
"Ah, I love my motherland, the Eastern Country, as a human, naturally I love humanity, ow."
"Shut up, cat!"
Lu Ping’an dealt with the gleeful cat and confiscated its recording.
Even though both parties knew the absurdity of this awkward performance, it was irrelevant what was said, but saying sothing was a different matter...
"At least, reassure most people."
The television broadcast wouldn’t air Lu Ping’an’s extrely awkward speech, only selected a few sentences to show his face.
Not to ntion, it oddly made it to the top of the search trends.
"What on earth, super young big shot? Forever sixteen-year-old boy god?"
Sotis, Lu Ping’an doesn’t even know how to deal with "youngsters".
The other aspect of reclusiveness is that even though Peace Brand has beco the Eastern Country’s best-selling grassroots (cheap) extraordinary brand, Lu Ping’an himself lives like a legend.
Now that he’s shown himself, it effectively dispels previous rumors of discord... After a few years of stability, neither the official nor civilian circles in the Eastern Country have any interest in internal turmoil or civil war.
"... Another invitation to a banquet with Quasi-Gods and Divine Incarnations... Damn, we’re all people who don’t need to eat, what’s the point of sitting together for dinner?"
However, such high-level etings to establish connections are not easy for Lu Ping’an to refuse, nor does he want to.
This kind of True God Level communication is usually quite sensitive, especially in private... During this annual gathering period, in Wanjing, a special area full of Watchers, etings and communications are relatively stable.
There are things that can only be discussed face to face, especially when both parties are advanced extraordinaires, "contracts" need to be signed in person.
Lu Ping’an also needs allies, especially with various chaotic industries needing care from both Proper and Evil Gods... At the least, not facing direct confrontation.
"This ti, it’s repaying debts..."
Lu Ping’an is sowhat helpless and has to et each Big Shot one by one.
Even, in utmost helplessness, he took a group photo with the new Director of Education and went for a round of inspection... Heavens know what significance this market-like tour has, probably to express his concern.
And as reciprocation, the restrictions on "textbooks" were lifted all at once... Similar policy support ca flooding in after Lu Ping’an t with the leadership team.
These things don’t really affect the grand sche, but it’s the return gesture after Lu Ping’an expressed friendliness (eting in the capital).
This is also why after etings between leaders of major countries, there are always so inexplicable good news... Specific results often take several months to show.
Lu Ping’an received a comndation, inexplicably gifted with several badges, and acquired honorary titles from so top universities.
This is probably compensating for all the lessons skipped at once.
Of course, Lu Ping’an didn’t walk away without tangible benefits.
"Are there three more Contractors? Already surpassing expectations..."
This ti, Lu Ping’an plans to go big on rcury 42.
Lu Ping’an brought along the "Alliance Book" and "Proposal Book"... Working on rcury 42 requires talent from all sides, and if relevant divine forces participate, Lu Ping’an can relieve a lot of pressure.
Anyway, destined to depart only after the New Year, he might as well find sothing to do while idle.
And in the Ancient City, preparations have never stopped... Even just allocating personnel involves tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of talents moving daily, deploying legions necessitates trendous ti.
Finally, when the New Year’s bells rang, it signifies Lu Ping’an is fully prepared, embarking on a long expedition towards God Above Gods.
