Chapter 263: Chapter 153: Nickna, Divine Emperor
Zhao Xi had been so worked up about this matter lately, she was about to go crazy.
With the factory complex built, a lack of skilled personnel ant it would be impossible to deliver the required number of weapons within the contracted tifra.
For Cangxuan City, which had just begun to flourish, this would be a fatal blow.
Hearing this, Li Chang’an nodded. He understood the situation.
Gu Ruilong had poached all of Linjiang’s technical talent, but he could just recruit more on the Rebirth Forum. At worst, the labor costs would skyrocket.
But no matter the cost, as long as he could make a successful debut by smoothly delivering the Super Electromagnetic Cannons and Energy Particle Beam Cannons ordered by Linjiang’s local Reincarnators, Li Chang’an would have plenty of ways to tornt the Gu Family afterward.
With that in mind, Li Chang’an posted a recruitnt notice on the Rebirth Forum and once again left the hiring to Zhao Xi.
Li Chang’an himself still had many things to do.
Cultivation and reincarnation were the core matters he needed to focus on most right now.
Although his territory and business were important, in Li Chang’an’s mind, they were all secondary to his cultivation and reincarnation.
Just as he was about to enter secluded cultivation, Li Chang’an received another call, this ti from Governor Hu Xiuyuan.
After connecting, Hu Xiuyuan skipped the pleasantries and said directly, "Chang’an, Chairman Su told
last night that you were targeted by the Jiangzhou Tian Family. I have the Jiangzhou Tian Family under control now. As long as the evidence is solid, I’ll make sure they pay the price!"
Li Chang’an smiled. "Thank you, Governor Hu. I apologize for troubling you with such a small matter!"
Hu Xiuyuan shook his head. "Heh, attacking a Level 3 Citizen is no small matter. I’ll keep investigating. It would be best if we can find traces of the Gu Family’s involvent. If not, you need to be ntally prepared!"
What Hu Xiuyuan ant by being ntally prepared was for Li Chang’an to brace himself for more plots from the Gu Family.
Li Chang’an understood this perfectly and imdiately nodded in agreent.
Hu Xiuyuan didn’t hang up. Instead, he changed the subject. "A while ago, I heard you obliterated a Tier Five special Extraordinary Beast with a Super Electromagnetic Cannon..."
"I thought it was just a rumor at the ti, but now that I see you building a factory and being targeted by a coalition of major arms-manufacturing families, it seems this matter is even bigger than I thought!"
Hu Xiuyuan was the Governor of Xiangnan, with even more responsibilities on his plate than Su Ruobing.
Therefore, although he was aware of the recent events in Linjiang, he hadn’t had the ti to look into the details. It wasn’t until he heard about the assassination attempt on Li Chang’an last night that he began to pay close attention.
Li Chang’an scratched his head and replied, "The munitions factory I’m building now is going to produce Super Electromagnetic Cannons and Energy Particle Beam Cannons!"
"Both in terms of firepower and precision, these weapons are more than twice as powerful as any competing products on the market. Once my factory starts production, the business of the Gu Family and several other families will bear the brunt of it. They’ll definitely do everything they can to stop !"
After hearing Li Chang’an’s answer, Hu Xiuyuan was silent for a long ti before speaking. "Is everything you’re saying true? Why haven’t you told
until now?"
Li Chang’an nodded. "Of course, it’s all absolutely true. I already had Chairman Su submit a report to you a while ago. You were probably too busy to see it!"
Hu Xiuyuan fell silent again for a mont before hanging up. Before he did, Li Chang’an heard what sounded like him shuffling through things, probably looking for the docunt.
Soon enough, Hu Xiuyuan found the specifications report that Li Chang’an had submitted.
When he saw that the weapons Li Chang’an was producing were not only better than what was currently on the market but also comparatively cheaper, Hu Xiuyuan finally understood why Gu Ruilong would take such a desperate risk—even to the point of turning against Linjiang and all of Xiangnan—just to physically eliminate Li Chang’an.
After looking over the blueprints again and again, he couldn’t help but exclaim in amazent, "If even two-thirds of these on-paper specs are real, you’re literally cutting these families off at the root! A newborn calf truly doesn’t fear the tiger!"
He was thoroughly impressed.
Ever since Li Chang’an beca a Reincarnator, the incidents he caused had grown larger and larger.
Now, looking at these weapon specifications on paper, even Hu Xiuyuan himself felt his scalp tingle.
Li Chang’an laughed. "This is just the beginning. Cangxuan City is too small, so there are many great things I can’t produce yet. Just give
so ti, and my contributions alone will surpass the total tax revenue of all those Reincarnator Families combined!"
Hu Xiuyuan understood the implication in his words.
In fact, even without Li Chang’an’s hint, Hu Xiuyuan had already grasped the vast prospects involved. He slapped his chest and declared, "Li, you’re a lucky star for our Xiangnan Province! I heard you had a group of key personnel from your arms enterprise poached recently? I can transfer so people to you from within Xiangnan!"
Although Xiangnan didn’t have the resources of a first-tier city, with Hu Xiuyuan’s status, mobilizing a group of technicians was absolutely no problem.
This could be considered Hu Xiuyuan’s own way of joining the partnership.
...
After chatting a bit more with Hu Xiuyuan, Li Chang’an hung up the phone and closed his door.
He entered a period of secluded cultivation, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
During this process, Li Chang’an carefully sensed and tried to consolidate his Cultivation.
It was fine when he wasn’t paying close attention, but upon careful inspection, Li Chang’an felt as if his whole body was bloated like a ball. His physique and vital energy were not well-integrated.
This was a classic case of ’affluenza.’ To put it simply, his power had increased too quickly, and his body and soul couldn’t keep up with its growth.
