Chapter 423 - 201: This Industry Is So Thoughtful! Is This a Joke?
Chu Ping was very concerned about this investment project. Although it was a merit asset that a tycoon was giving to the Chen Family, the industry was in Linhe County, which could increase employment, tax revenue, and the economy.
So, he immediately took people back to the county and met the tycoon, who turned out to be a stunning woman in her thirties.
He just didn’t understand why she used her long hair to cover most of her face, which undoubtedly affected her beauty.
The person in charge of investment promotion in the county immediately reported to him, "Chu County, this is Ms. Liao Shuang, the President of the Weikai Group. This is the various types of factories that she wants to acquire and integrate."
When Chu Ping heard the identity of the other party, he was full of surprise. He had heard of the Weikai Group. Although it’s not as big as Chairman Liu’s company, it is one of the top 100 enterprises in the country.
Now there’s another tycoon giving merit assets to the Chen Family, which is quite surprising.
He didn’t think the other party was stupid, tricked by the Chen Family; there must be something about the Chen Family that convinced them.
Think about how a road repair team dug up a stone stele, and Patriarch Chen set up that stone stele, and it could change the air quality of the Chen Family and surrounding areas.
The Chen Family truly has a lot of magical things; these tycoons are not foolish.
"Ms. Liao, thank you very much for your trust in Linhe County," Chu Ping thought, immediately smiling and expressing gratitude.
"You’re welcome, Chu County," Liao Shuang politely nodded in return.
The investment promotion officer immediately handed a piece of information to Chu Ping. "This is the plan Ms. Liao wants to acquire and integrate our Linhe County’s factories."
Chu Ping took a look and was surprised. It wasn’t because this investment was significant, but because these industries were entirely a tailor-made merit asset for the Chen Family.
This shows how thoughtful this female tycoon was.
The other party was indeed very devout!
...
Time passed, and a day went by.
In his room, Chen Han opened a package and took out two ornament objects.
These were metal ornaments ordered in the county, just delivered, with considerable value.
He took out the refining stone for the skill of Refining Yin and Transforming Yang and wanted to forge this skill.
[The current decorative ring cannot withstand the power of refining. Please replace the item and try again...]
[The current decorative ring cannot withstand the power of refining. Please replace the item and try again...]
Unfortunately, both prompts were the same.
Still not working.
It seems that this basic complete refining stone cannot be forged with these ordinary items.
Putting things down, he immediately took out his phone, searched for a while, and ordered some relatively expensive special metals.
Those ordinary ornaments didn’t work, but special metals should be different, right?
After placing the order, he remembered Ms. Liao, whom Mr. Liu brought.
After their unfriendly meeting yesterday, he thought she would continue to pursue him this morning, but unexpectedly, there was no movement all morning.
As he thought about it, two game prompts suddenly appeared in his mind:
[Congratulations, you have gained 1 point of Wish Power!]
[Congratulations, you have gained 1 point of Wish Power!]
His Wish Power increased by two points.
Even though the National Style Event had ended, the lottery at the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall continued because of the Wish Power. This allowed for the continued gathering of Wish Power from tourists.
A considerable amount could be added daily.
Using an ID card, a person could participate in the lottery once a day, and it wasn’t limited to tourists because he found that many residents of Shangyuan Village also came to offer incense, which could provide Wish Power.
For example, village head Guo Zhen and those elderly staying in the village.
However, the rewards of Royal Jelly and Scar Remover Cream were canceled due to limited quantities.
The grand prizes now were Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea and Peace Talisman.
Generally, the winning probability was low, but as long as one made offerings of two woods, two incenses, and one tree, it could trigger the Attribute of Good Fortune, allowing those who provided Wish Power to enhance their luck and increase their winning chances.
Although the National Style Event ended, fewer tourists made offerings, many only offering incense.
However, due to the allure of the prizes, his Wish Power increased significantly after the National Style Event.
He looked at the Wish Power in his mind: 10,000 Wish Power (4793/10000).
The upgrade requirement for Wish Power was almost halfway.
Thinking about it, he also left his courtyard and headed to the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall to check the situation there.
Because the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall already had several Palace Guards, even with many tourists every day, everything was in order inside.
"I won... I won, a Protective Talisman?"
A tourist, full of excitement, hurriedly walked out with a companion.
Chen Han roughly knew the tourist’s purpose; if it was for personal use, they would have started wearing it. The hasty departure indicated a desire to sell it.
The people of Mr. Liu were frequently buying Peace Talismans in the parking lot, at a considerable value.
Because of this, many tourists were very devout when offering incense for the lottery. At least some people’s devoutness was enough during the lottery to provide Wish Power.
"Patriarch!"
"Patriarch!"
"..."
The aunts and Palace Guards respectfully greeted him as he arrived.
Now this Patriarch, in their eyes, was like the messenger of the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable walking the world.
Chen Han nodded in response, inquired a bit with the aunts, and was about to leave when his junior sister hurriedly came in, and upon seeing him, greeted him, "Senior Brother, you’re here too."
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Chen Han curiously asked.
Xiaoyu quickly frowned and handed over a tablet to him, "Senior Brother, it seems there’s a problem with our lottery app. The backend data doesn’t match at all, with the number of lottery participants greatly exceeding the incense offerings."
