Holidays are always pleasant and short. At this time, the road is safe and we start to be busy for the future again.
"The procurement went relatively smoothly. We were given cost prices for the water facilities. But there was still a premium of at least 30%, not just because of the military label, but mainly because the Mercury 42 development prospects were good and related materials were rising."
Longyue Island has entered summer, or in other words, two-thirds of the year is dominated by warm winds and vicious sun.
On an island with a tropical climate, a group of people inevitably fell into a bit of slack, especially when Lu, the boss, wore flip-flops, Hawaiian shorts and sunglasses every day, and had the demeanor of a salted fish king.
Lu Pingan did not rectify the situation. On the contrary, he smiled and turned a blind eye.
Lu Pingan is also happy with the emergence of this "vacation mentality". He has actually been adjusting the rhythm of the team so that most people have the mentality of "Earth is a vacation" and "A foreign land is a desperate effort."
And during this process, he not only took the lead in making things worse, but also tried his best not to let the salaried "staff" work overtime.
Mr. Lu may not be a qualified boss, but he is a senior wage earner. At least he knows that an annoying boss will only waste time, and wage earners can only concentrate their efforts when resources are sufficient.
"Have the bonuses been distributed? How have most people spent their money?"
"Resources and bonuses have been distributed a long time ago. Judging from recent statistics, more than 50% of personnel and resources are used to improve ourselves. This is undoubtedly a good trend and shows that everyone has confidence in our team.
Spend resources on improvements to get more.”
This is undoubtedly good news. When the future is unclear, in order to cope with risks, everyone will naturally be passive financially. If everyone has positive expectations for future income, they will naturally increase the rate of consumption, especially to improve themselves.
.
Of course, Lu Ping'an will provide basic "combat resources", such as various naval battle resources, various equipment, and even free coupons for naval battles and snorkeling packages. But if it is an "ordinary team", there will naturally be people who prepare seriously and some who fail.
, there are also many people who return to the team on the last day before the war begins.
On Lu's side, most people have received a full set of water warfare training, and have actively spent money to purchase various additional supplies and resources to increase their chances of survival.
As far as Lu Ping'an knows, although the team provides high-quality practical consumables such as "Underwater Breathing Amulet", "Anti-Harpoon Trick" and "Water Element Absorption Shield", many people privately purchase them in sets and boxes.
This undoubtedly made Lu Ping'an breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that not only did he begin to prepare for the war, but most of the people in the team began to actively adjust their mentality.
"What do they need?"
"The main need is to be able to have a 'new baby' before leaving."
"I try my best, and my schedule here is also full."
Lu Ping An's "blessing business" is also in full swing, but considering the nearly unlimited demand, it is still on the way.
Lu Ping'an looked through the account books and orders again, and then nodded with satisfaction.
It is a large mobile logistics warehouse and store, but at the same time, it also serves as an agricultural, pharmaceutical, and industrial production base.
Lin Nu's bosses, after confirming the strategic value of Lu Ping An's side, immediately placed new orders, trying to use it to transport materials, production supplies and logistics. Lu Ping An reluctantly rejected most of them. After all,
No matter how attractive the prices they offer now, they are still "earth prices". If I really go to a foreign land and sell first-line soldiers directly, the profit will be directly increased by zero level.
He is also cleaning up and making adjustments to prepare for the opening of his "store" in a foreign country.
"Have you confirmed it with them? We are always an armed merchant group, focusing on logistics and trade. It is okay to do some simple rescue and combat missions occasionally. If we are really used as a front-line battle group, we will fall off the chain.
of."
Lu Ping'an's positioning for his team is very clear. They are a new team with insufficient qualifications, and battlefield speculators with the priority goal of "gaining profits".
At least, until it is determined that "there are enough benefits to be gained on the battlefield" and "I can thrive in the new environment", the Reborn Merchant Group is still just a logistics company.
"Sure enough, it is a battlefield where quasi-gods exist."
On the other hand, when Lu Pingan opened the door to local high-level forces through "revival", he was naturally regarded as one of his own.
Along with it, the "first-line information" that should have been obtained after departure was now in Lu Ping'an's hands.
After flipping through it for a while, some expected facts were revealed in front of everyone.
Different from the previous small fights in the border world, this time Mercury 42 is a true quasi-frontline world, so the level and combat power of the contenders are naturally not the same.
Among enemies and friends, there are not only rule-level combat forces that will appear on the battlefield, but also real quasi-gods, along with powerful creatures of similar levels.
When the whole world becomes a battlefield, there is no novice period or safe zone in actual combat. It is reasonable to encounter the big BOSS when going out. Such environmental risks and benefits are huge, but if a relatively conservative and prudent development strategy is adopted, the survival rate will increase significantly.
Increase.
After all, nuclear weapons are often aimed at each other, and quasi-gods also have quasi-god restrictions. Don't run around and cause hatred on the battlefield, which is always the first priority to live longer.
Considering that the current "friends" may be the leaders of the future "friendly armies", Lu Ping'an has also strengthened his contacts with them these days, and also obtained a lot of front-line news along the way.
"A planet that has been torn into several pieces?"
Reality is often crueler than storybooks. Not every resistance army can win the final victory. At least the residents of Mercury 42 are already 99% less than the original total. They have changed from a strong group of hundreds of millions to
"Minorities".
The aborigines are a tall group of people with long arms and legs. They have auxiliary fins on their limbs. Although they are semi-terrestrial creatures, they are actually very good at swimming and diving.
The Bullo people, or the "Long-Handed Tribe", is the name given to them by the people on earth.
They once had a glorious civilization at least three hundred years ago. They had begun the exploration of outer space and the development of the deep sea. They were a powerful race that simultaneously developed technology, spiritual technology, and supernatural power.
But obviously, they took the wrong path, maybe because of a research error, maybe because they were targeted by an evil god out of pure bad luck. In short, their world ushered in a foreign invader.
And because this plane is rich in products and relatively "high-demon", high-level combat forces such as quasi-gods directly intervened, and the local residents also had the classic operation of Godzilla vs. tanks. It seemed that after experiencing a bloody resistance that was praiseworthy but ineffective,
, was kicked directly back to the farming era.
When the people on Earth got involved, the first people they came into contact with were the foreign invaders, and they even thought they were the native residents.
Just looking at these drawings and materials, while feeling full of misery and blood, Lu Pingan also saw some old acquaintances.
