Lu Ping'an's logic is simple and unpretentious, and there is no fault in it.
But after the killing was fun, something went wrong.
"...Next, how should I find clues about the 'Golden Apple'?"
Lu Ping'an looked around. Dad Tie was considered a big boss in the steam factory, but the "big boss" here was not one. Maybe, go to other places to have a look?
"Sorry, our boss is not here."
"Well, our boss said he can't see you."
Obviously, Lu Pingan's practice of "killing people to establish his authority" aroused "public outrage."
Perhaps, in the eyes of many black market people, Lu Ping'an is a killer sent by the special service team, specifically to kill chickens and scare monkeys.
At least, until these bosses make a decision, they will not see Lu Pingping... Once they meet, is it better to surrender? Or is it better to further escalate the conflict and become a thorn in the side of the authorities?
Lu Ping'an's explosion method undoubtedly brought him trouble.
"Tsk... I should pack it up and take it away and give it to Xiao Huo Miao as a midnight snack."
He didn't regret it either, but he encountered difficulties at work and was a little numb.
But the local humans in the steam factory don't want to communicate and do business with him, it doesn't mean that the "locals" don't want to talk to him...
"Hello, young human, have a safe journey, have a safe journey, have a safe journey, have a safe journey. Your growth rate is amazing. My judgment at the beginning should have been correct."
At this time, the steam elf Andre, who was given the nickname "Rookie Ant Master", appeared in front of Lu Ping'an who was wandering on the street.
And his words showed that he not only "remembered" Lu Pingan himself, but even remembered his original self-introduction.
The appearance of this thing made Lu Pingan pause for a moment, and then he smiled.
Perhaps, this guy is ten times more dangerous than Iron Daddy.
"Please rest assured that although you and the 'forces' behind you have cleaned up the local market, it has indeed made us lose some fun, but it is just fun."
Steam elves are a local biological species. Although their strength is as high as the fourth level, they are "workers" who maintain steam factories.
The steam factory itself does not exist as a "black market". The steam elves only naturally formed a "cooperative relationship" with humans after having a certain degree of freedom.
"Your position doesn't matter. You can't leave here anyway... Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Lu Ping'an made no secret of his defense. Such a chaotic and "rule-abiding" life could not relax his guard at any time.
Although they are restricted by rules and cannot actively attack outsiders in the local safe zone, there are countless unlucky people who are set into death traps by them every year.
This is an evil and bottomless creature. It says it comes to have fun, so maybe you are that fun.
"I'm here to help you, and it's up to you to tell me what to do. I received your information before and gained a lot. Now, I only need to repay you to a certain extent in order to conclude the 'deal' between us.
"
What Andri was talking about was the incident where Lu Ping'an sent out intelligence and led them to attack Fang Wen's "workshop".
At that time, Lu Pingan prepared the eternal trap of "meeting the boss" for Fang Wen, but the prerequisite was that she would send her main consciousness into the "robotic arm" prepared for her.
No one can ensure that the plan is foolproof, so instead of cheating with conspiracy, it is better to completely remove her other options and let her choose the "escape road" prepared by Lu Ping An.
A secret workshop of a sixth-level mechanical spiritual master and at least a fourth-level craftsman. There may be her spare body and equipment in it. Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult to capture it. Moreover, once attacked, Fang Wen might turn around and run away once she discovers the situation.
.....Then Lu Ping An has to worry about the trouble of "knowing too much" and the huge threat posed by wandering outside.
"There is only one chance to take action. The consequences of alerting the enemy are unbearable. Those who deal with the workshop must be strong enough."
Lu Pingan thought a lot, and finally handed it over to the "Steam Elf".
The steam factory excludes the safe zone occupied by humans, and the water in it is very deep. The steam elves as "maintenance workers" are existences that most humans cannot fight against. Therefore, its background should be quite astonishing.
The result was as expected. Lu Ping'an borrowed a knife to kill someone, destroyed the workshop and killed Fang Wen's clone. The elves also made a fortune and harvested many interesting "little toys".
But in the thinking logic and rules of the Steam Elf, this is a transaction, and it has gained too much, and it must be repaid in order to complete the transaction and be debt-free.
"...We have finished cleaning. There are fewer people here, and your fun will be less."
Lu Pingan is somewhat interested in strange things.
"Hehe, those unlucky ones are the greatest fun. You don't know how happy we were when we watched you feeding that old man to the dogs. There were many of us, and we all hated that rotten and stupid old man."
Looking at the elf flying in a small circle with laughter, Lu Ping'an could only lament how true it was that the administration's internal definition of it as a "super evil, high-threat creature" was true.
"What's more, you don't understand elves, let alone you humans. Even if this group of humans is killed, won't the next batch come back soon? Using your concept of time, three years? Five years?
?Or ten years? After a nap, you can watch new music."
Lu Ping'an wanted to say, "This severe crackdown will eradicate it completely, and no one will come again." But after thinking about it, it was better not to lie to himself.
yyxs.la
As long as there is demand, there will be a market. What should be there will come sooner or later, and what should come will not escape.
The steam factory is here, and the future black market will be here, unless... someone completely guides the wild secret realm and gives this place a new owner.
Lu Ping'an shook his head, that's even more nonsense. I'm afraid there are people starting at level 5 or 6, and maybe there are rules level people. How can the ancient city have such strength.
"I'm looking for a golden apple, a special potion that will cause strange changes after being eaten. Do you have any clues?" Lu Ping'an also got down to business directly.
"I don't know..." The steam elves are limited by the local environment and are not good at sharing and collecting intelligence, but they have their own channels.
"...Someone among you humans must know it. I'll go find it out for you. I'll go find you when there is news."
After thinking for a while, Lu Ping'an nodded. It seemed that he was going to spend the night here again today. I hoped that the hotel last time would not stop him from settling in.
The results of the first phase of the "big cleanup" have already appeared...a large number of black markets and special service agencies within them, refusing to provide services to official personnel such as special service teams in public.
Why is it limited to public places? Because as long as you give enough money in private, these wild dogs will naturally not care about any "road rules". If it doesn't work, you can beat them...
"This is your room card. Do you need midnight snack service?"
"No, I don't dare to eat it for fear of being poisonous."
Lu Pingan said this, and behind him was the hotel door that had just been demolished by his own hands.
Obviously, just closing the doors and not doing business will not prevent the road from being safe.
The hotel attendant seemed to be a veteran, he nodded and didn't say anything... As soon as he went upstairs safely, he immediately picked up his bag and left.
Don't get me wrong, he didn't go to inform. Lu Ping'an walked in arrogantly. There was no need to inform. All the local big guys should have known about it.
"This guy is absolutely crazy. After killing Da Ya's family, he still dares to stay in the secret place overnight. There will probably be a war at night, so run away!"
