Chapter 2486 - 2478: By the Way...
Does Li Shishi lack that one billion? Honestly, she doesn’t think she can’t earn it.
However, not thinking she can’t earn it just means she currently doesn’t have it; she is clear about her future prospects.
A billion? Don’t tease me, even ten billion she wouldn’t care about.
This confidence isn’t blind; if the boss permits her to freely use the storage bag, one billion... haha, she can easily earn a hundred billion back.
However, the boss now doesn’t want her to expose certain abilities casually, so she has to restrain herself.
And her inaction has led some villagers to develop some inappropriate ideas.
This matter can’t simply be blamed on Li Shishi or the villagers; she has taken good care of the village before, and there are over thirty villagers employed inside Luohua.
Everyone was used to her care, and feeling her status had declined, they thought she wasn’t taking care of her people anymore, and some incited her to vie for power. However, Li Shishi, although a homebody, has enough self-awareness and ignores these suggestions.
Then the villagers became even more enthusiastic in their inciting efforts, although she could sense the absurdity of these suggestions — just watched a few poorly made dramas and already thinking about palace intrigue?
Originally, Li Shishi was a bit unhappy about this, but she enjoys the attention from her fellow villagers, so she insists on staying in the village. Upon hearing that a Wenxian Manor residency costs a billion, she finally decides to change her residency.
Of course, she won’t sell the residency after she changes it; she knows clearly the boss wouldn’t allow her to sell it either, so now she needs to admit her mistake to the boss and also exaggerate her hardships — which are indeed significant.
Unexpectedly, the boss got so angry he almost expelled her from Luohua, which made her break out in a cold sweat.
Before this, she never considered the possibility of leaving Luohua because the boss wasn’t lacking money or the little salary given to her, and she was part of Luohua’s cultivators and could even be considered the boss’s disciple.
As long as she doesn’t harm Luohua’s interests, how could she leave Luohua?
But the boss’s attitude now made her understand that merely not harming Luohua’s interests isn’t enough; she must also demonstrate her value and contribute to Luohua’s development!
Upon hearing her words, Feng Jun pursed his lips, thought for a bit, then sighed and shook his head, releasing his divine sense, "Chief Lin, wait at the gate... I brought back some things again."
Beauty Lin received this message and rushed over as fast as possible, appearing at the gate within two minutes.
This time, Feng Jun did not let her inside but spoke from over the gate, "This time, I brought back four pharmaceutical production lines and some finished medicines... arrange for where would be best to receive them."
Nowadays he’s lazy to say much to Beauty Lin; he wouldn’t charge money, and most other things he doesn’t find appealing, so he directly informs her to receive the goods.
Beauty Lin blinked her eyes and then directly asked, "Do the production lines you brought back have manuals?"
Feng Jun nodded, "Of course they do, how else would you install and debug them without manuals... why did you think to ask this?"
"I want to first check the relevant manuals," Beauty Lin replied sternly, with a hint of pride appearing on her face, "We want to properly arrange production locations based on the medicine properties, aiming to transport them all at once."
"You sure know how to slack off," Feng Jun twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking that even after returning to Earth, he couldn’t avoid being characterized as a vehicle?
But the next moment, he recalled: in Earth Realm, he has quite a few disciples!
Let the disciples handle things, he nodded slightly, "Wait a bit, I’ll tidy it up first."
Tidying wouldn’t take long; soon, he handed her a USB stick, couldn’t help asking, "In terms of Federation language proficiency, how many have mastered it now?"
"A team of over 200 people," which is why Beauty Lin was so proud; such efficiency when shown is indeed impressive, "Grammar still needs improvement, but the vocabulary isn’t bad. They can handle translation requirements for at least ten projects."
Feng Jun was shocked to hear this, "So many people? Really exceeded my expectations... are they all reliable?"
"Of course reliability is no problem, not to mention you’ve provided the Loyalty Test Formation," Beauty Lin replied proudly, "Otherwise the high requirements for Cultural Town residency would prevent plus two hundred more people."
Feng Jun was stunned upon hearing that, "Have they all taken residence in Cultural Town?"
"Yes, hasn’t Director Yang informed you?" Beauty Lin questioned back in surprise, but the next moment she identified the issue, "All this requires payment... you don’t care about money, but Director Yang insists on charging.
"Insisting on charging is correct," Feng Jun nodded nonchalantly, "It’s not about the money, but how a bad precedent shouldn’t be set, understand?"
"I understand that," Beauty Lin nodded, then made another request, "Elder Feng, I feel we need to increase staffing, so... can you give me two more sets of the Loyalty Test Formation?"
"Giving is impossible," Feng Jun shook his head, "I just said I won’t indulge you, now you want to overturn it? Offer something in exchange."
Beauty Lin promptly nodded, "Exchange is no problem, but... what do you want?"
Feng Jun spread his hands, calmly replied, "I don’t know, you just propose something, if it moves me, I’ll exchange."
"Your words are really infuriating," Beauty Lin shrugged with a bitter smile, "We would like to offer something to intrigue you, but you don’t lack anything."
"Where’s that true? I lack plenty," Feng Jun shook his head straight-faced, but then said something even more annoying, "The key is what I need, you guys can’t get."
Beauty Lin couldn’t help but roll her eyes, "That makes me want to hit you; then tell us, what is it we can’t get?"
Feng Jun shook his head, answered crisply, "Forget it, if I say it out loud, you’d feel worse, just propose something."
Beauty Lin tilted her head thoughtfully, and sincerely answered, "The test formation is mainly for loyalty screening; we got this formation to increase and decrease trustworthy people, if we gain more... Cultural Town’s revenue will increase."
"This..." Feng Jun hesitated, but still smiled and nodded, "Fine, you make a reasonable argument; I’ll arrange Gazi to deliver two sets of formations out later; at least one set has to be placed in Cultural Town, okay?"
"No problem," Beauty Lin promptly nodded; the other party’s agreement to let her take one set was already giving much face, "Shall I increase the team, can you give two sets of the Spirit Gathering Array?"
They finally understood the nature of the Spirit Gathering Array and knew the official name; the more they understood, the clearer its importance, the top wanted to order Luohua to produce hundreds of thousands of sets, but that wasn’t possible.
Luohua had only given Beauty Lin two sets of the Spirit Gathering Array and emphasized that at least one set was for warrior training.
Later, Beauty Lin tried bringing it up with Feng Jun multiple times, but Feng Jun’s attitude was clear: This is my Daoist secret technique, and before spreading this formation among all Daoist sects, don’t even think about it.
This response aggravated some individuals, who even considered causing trouble for Feng Jun, but they were ultimately persuaded otherwise.
Beauty Lin now brought up the old topic again but didn’t expect any agreement, merely probing and leaving an impression — saying certain things often, rather than not at all.
However, to her surprise, Feng Jun contemplated and sternly answered, "The conditions aren’t mature yet, they need further time, and... your exchange proposal is too blunt, just copying the previous one lacks sincerity."
Beauty Lin completely ignored his latter words, her big eyes blinking rapidly, "You’re considering trading for the Spirit Gathering Array? That’s amazing, I’ll report it immediately... by the way, what conditions count as mature? How long will it take?"
"If you keep getting excited, I might retract my words," Feng Jun impatiently waved his hand, "I mentioned conditions aren’t mature yet; when they are, I’ll notify you... Oh, I brought back some military equipment, want to check?"
"Alright," Beauty Lin nodded, "We’ve already discussed it, scattered military equipment will continue being stored in Peach Blossom Valley."
"That... might not fit," Feng Jun frowned, "Not scattered equipment, but an entire fleet, regiment-level units, ten mounts of ammunition... uh, that kind of warship capable of spatial jumps."
Beauty Lin directly froze, eyes widened and face paled, it took a while before her pale lips quivered, "You... you mean a regiment-level combat fleet... a complete set? Plus ten mounts of ammunition, along with... spatial jump-capable?"
"Exactly," Feng Jun’s eyebrows furrowed, "Why have you turned into a parrot?"
Beauty Lin steadied herself, turned to leave, and gave him a fierce glare before departing, "This is what you suddenly remembered to bring up after ’By the way’?"
"Of course it’s incidental," Feng Jun couldn’t help rolling his eyes, "I always favor peace; saving lives and healing the wounded is what matters; violence isn’t very important to me."
Actually, these words were somewhat disingenuous; he initially pursued military equipment, but the military’s digestion of those items was a bit slow, so he casually brought along some materials and pharmaceutical production lines projects — these are relatively easier to handle.
Until he heard Beauty Lin mention her team of 200 translators, he only then thought of bringing those things.
After all, he was worried about being affected — nobody dared to conscript him, but occasionally coming to bother him, asking about things they didn’t understand, wouldn’t that be quite annoying?
Therefore, he could only wait for their breakthrough in language before considering handing out these items.
