442: Chapter 422: Buying Off 442: Chapter 422: Buying Off Part of the information about the Otherworldly had already been obtained, while more advanced data still required purchasing through channels, or simply directly gathering at the site.
Just this current portion alone had made the explorers realize that many of their ideas and plans were too naive, even foolish…
“It’s a world.
A whole world with tens of thousands of years of heritage and thousands of races.”
That it’s a world implies that the power of a single “explorer” is destined to be extrely limited.
Individual powers thrown into it is like a grain of sand tossed into the sea.
No matter how strong an individual you are, what can you do to a world?
“…There is a need for so human resources.”
In this regard, Lu Ping’an’s advantages are clear and even unmatched.
Each explorer only has 10 tickets and can bring a small team at most.
However, Lu Ping’an’s “courtyard” implies that he can import manpower to his own upper limit.
On the other hand, the Near-ho Grass is almost consud.
“…I can’t make up my mind.
Give a week, no, four days.
I’ll go back and discuss it with them.”
The “invitation” issued by Lu Ping’an was actually quite tempting.
It was a long-term employnt contract, employnt by a “secret factory,” but what moved Hua Xueyi was that it was a contract for long-term residence.
In other words, it is a small town, a residential area, a permanent living location, an independent world for the residents of the small town.
After signing a more stringent confidentiality contract, Lu Ping’an revealed part of his truth…a semi-independent, transportable Plane.
However, this job is a bit different from regular work.
These “employees” would be restricted in their range and mode of action in the early stage.
Only with Lu Ping’an’s lead, they could freely access the factory and perform a series of jobs under his commands.
Lu Ping’an planned to turn them into smuggled labor.
High salary, for the mutants stuck in the countryside, is an extrely high temptation.
More importantly, it is a work opportunity…
For many mutants, the expected life is to be trapped in the countryside.
“I need labor, but at this stage it’s a secret, so a tough confidentiality contract will be signed, the kind that would lead to death if leaked.
Of course, as a price, I will give them a share, a share of the total inco.”
Lu Ping’an didn’t hide this prerequisite.
Although as the world’s version changed, his little secret seems to have beco less “precious,” he still needs a guarantee until he can protect himself sufficiently.
“You have also experienced my power, my stadium, haven’t you?
Mutants no longer need to worry about death due to initial pollution.
They can’t beco professionals due to lack of basic ability, willpower and talent.
However, these can be compensated for in my courtyard, and as long as you have points, you can directly purchase Abnormal Abilities.”
In this age, as long as there is hope and ability, no one doesn’t want to beco a professional…
Especially for those who have been victims of physical mutation, becoming a real professional not only allows them to live longer, but also gives them a chance to reintegrate into society.
Sotis society is crueler and more realistic than storybooks.
You’re a mutant?
You look nothing like a human?
Naturally, you’ll be treated with caution, defense, and isolation, which could hurt.
You’re a professional?
You have so mutations due to pollution?
Oh, that’s amazing, you’re a human hero.
In fact, it’s as simple as that, and who knows how many people in the village are extrely envious of lucky ones like Hua Xueyi.
“The younger sisters I brought before were all from the preparatory class.
It’s a short ti since school started, and two of them have already beco 0-tier Battle-professionals, and they didn’t use the courtyard.
You should believe in my capabilities in this regard.”
No other power can offer such conditions, because it’s simply not cost-effective…
Why not give a powerful talent the chance to train as a professional instead?
Lu Ping’an is willing to give, just because it doesn’t consu much of his resources.
The stadium is paid, and the nutrition from Magic Plants field is also paid for.
You work here, naturally you have to spend here, and in the end, I’m certainly not losing money.
Lu Ping’an was confident that once the internal circulation here was established, he could build a real town in his palm.
Lu Ping’an didn’t want much, and he had no intention of swallowing the entire small town of thousands of people…
That’s neither realistic nor necessary.
What he wanted were young people, middle-aged people, so ambitious individuals willing to risk and fight for their goals…
They would beco the first cadre in Lu Ping’an’s plan.
What Hua Xueyi promised was to help recruit people from her hotown, initially starting with a pilot batch of tens to a hundred people.
In the end, no one can predict what would co of it…
but once this plan begins, Hua Xueyi’s small club would be completely tied to Lu Ping’an’s Rebirth Comrce.
“…I can’t refuse these terms.” After reviewing the developnt plan Proposal by Lu Ping’an, Hua Xueyi was deeply moved.
It was far better than her previous plans.
“I can’t guarantee for too many people.
I need ti to communicate with them.
But as long as there’s so deposit, I can bring back at least a hundred people, which includes my family and their friends.”
If everything went smoothly, Hua Xueyi’s own dream could also co true.
After extensive discussions with Miss Lo, she finally made up her mind.
As a result, her newly ford club was also destined to join Lu Ping’an’s ship.
Having settled them and addressed the needs of the demand side, the more troubleso “Near-ho Grass” issue was just beginning.
Lu Ping’an had to face the trouble he had been avoiding…
“Look at this plan, do you want to make any adjustnts to it?”
“…
Starting workshops, factories, animal training pens, food processing plants.
I personally have no objections, but it seems like a lot of this work requires my participation.
Do I need to go to this extent?”
“Near-ho Grass” Fang Wen said so.
Simply recruiting labor is aningless.
To turn labor into productivity, factories and workshops must follow suit.
At this point, professionals need to be brought in to help.
Under the awe of the big cat, she had remained quiet and unobtrusive, trying to downplay her presence.
But Lu Ping’an never forgot that she had been a peak sixth-tier chanic Spiritualist, and still was…
she had not been weakened or sealed.
Once released into the outside world, she would be like a dragon in the sea, or a horse in the south mountain.
Her deliberate show of friendliness, an attempt to make herself seem “useful,” did not an she was truly “friendly.”
To make her truly work for him, to honestly work without causing trouble, Lu Ping’an had prepared a bargaining chip.
“I can sign a contract promising that the mont I beco a rule-level strongman, I will release you.”
Lu Ping’an was sincere, even going so far as to say that even if she also beca a rule-level strongman by then, he would still release her.
But Fang Wen shook her head.
This seemingly sincere proposition wasn’t enough…
“…
By then, will you just capture again?
After all, I have no rights.
Once I co in, I can’t get out.”
Moreover, Fang Wen was aware that as long as she was kept here, her potential for evolution was halted.
Given Lu Ping’an’s monstrous rate of progress, even if she beca a seventh-tier or eighth-tier, she probably wouldn’t be able to beat him.
This bargaining chip, though seemingly earnest, was akin to a carrot on a stick- visible but unreachable.
Lu Ping’an wouldn’t let her go.
She knew too much…
And when Lu Ping’an truly possesses the power where leaking secrets wouldn’t matter, he probably wouldn’t mind silencing her along the way.
Sotis, his malice and disdain for her were undisguised.
If she wanted to survive, she required more substantial negotiation terms.
“I need a promise.” Under the chanical synthesized voice was an unwavering will.
If he didn’t agree, Fang Wen wouldn’t compromise this ti.
“State it.”
“If you succeed in your Ascension, I need a position as a Divine Envoy; if you beco a Main God, I want to be a Demigod.
I will offer my services in return for this.”
Lu Ping’an opened his mouth, unsure of what to say.
“Demigod?
Divine Envoy?
What are those?
Aren’t you getting a little ahead of yourself?”
“Traitor!
Oathbreaker!” At this point, the big cat began cursing outright.
