Storms always come suddenly, and chances and opportunities come without warning.
Being able to pass the Explorer exam and obtain the certificate is already the limit for a newcomer like Lu Ping'an. Originally, he couldn't ask for more, but if he misses the opportunity, there may not be another chance.
"Thanks to the generous loan, the funding gap is no longer large. The framework is basically set up, but only the weapons and equipment are there."
The Rebirth Chamber of Commerce, or the small team with Lu Ping'an as the core, is turning all the resources on hand into supplies and making every effort to prepare for their first journey.
The newly arrived labor force has already started working.
The originally lifeless courtyard now has a bit of life in it. People are taking care of the garden, and the newly cultivated fields are also being taken care of.
The aroma of food began to waft out of the bakery and kitchen, and the small internal circulation began to build the most basic structure.
Some people started various service businesses in "hotels". Although few people can afford to stay in the hotel above the bank building, there is competition for waiter jobs here.
The other part is to carry out preparatory work in the new market, prepare shelves, stock goods, and prepare for possible customers in the future.
The work is a lot and complicated, but it is not tiring. Most people learn while doing it.
When they are free, they will also use some "currency" to purchase some local rule building services, such as experiencing acceleration, or trying out the basic training of professionals in the gym.
Lu Pingan has placed some basic training techniques and manuals in the gym and made them available as employee benefits.
Another invisible mechanism has also been explored with more residents, that is, if you enter the "rule building" to serve it, you can get a certain amount of life points in return.
This is also the reason why there is competition for unoccupied waiter jobs.
Points cannot be made out of nothing. They come out of the "public treasury", that is, the contract revenue from taxes and commissions before can only be used to build new regular buildings. This is what is paid as "maintenance expenses".
There are already hundreds of points in the public treasury, but if he wants to build a regular building, Lu Ping'an still needs to provide money. His current points are starting to run low again.
At the same time, he also looked down upon good buildings.
Rule-based architecture, in the final analysis, is the embodiment of "rules". Road safety and courtyards must have rules before they can be built.
The most important building authority he has is the Great Library. And after he unlocked the Level 2 Contractor, its construction cost has reached an astonishing 1,500 points.
I don’t know if it’s good or not, but I’m sure I can’t afford it.
What Lu Ping'an wants most is to integrate a few rule-level items or get a few divine power crystals. The former may be directly given to a building for free, while the latter can greatly reduce the construction cost.
He had been trying to acquire "junk rules-level items" and "quasi-rules items for animal taming" at the trading place, but unfortunately, he never got a response.
The current core buildings of the courtyard, the "Gymnasium (Arena)" is the legacy of Big Cat, the bank hall is the embodiment of Lu Ping'an's talent rules, and the garden is half cultivated and half bought with money. The most desired "zoo",
However, because Lu Ping'an had advanced to Gardener, he couldn't even get the rules for animal taming, so he had to find a way to purchase a high-end animal taming item to make up for it.
It can be seen here that Lu Ping'an and the courtyard are "connected", or, in a certain sense, they are basically one, and the courtyard can even be regarded as the ontology.
At the same time, Lu Ping An also started to ship a little, easing some of the funding gap. He never expected that the first batch of creations would be so easy to sell.
Don't get me wrong, it's not "wheat fields" and "rice grains", but various basic magic plants, the wealthy "munitions" that have been piled up in the courtyard.
These things are growing regularly and the quality is quite good. They haven’t been in production recently, so Lu Ping An couldn’t use up the inventory on hand, so he sold a batch.
Not to mention, due to the recent general price increase of "munitions", the effect is very good.
Another flagship product, it exceeded expectations a bit.
"I never expected that lavender would sell so well."
Magic lavender, or "a weed that is worthless and only looks good", is the easiest to grow and the most useless magic plant.
Its only function is to absorb the surrounding pollution and purify it. This ability to "consume pollution" is actually shared by other magic plants, but there is a slight difference in strength.
However, many magic potions and delicacies that relieve pollution symptoms and improve pollution resistance require concentrated and refined "lavender essence". Many enchantments and equipment aimed at pollution resistance also require it as raw materials. The consumption of this kind of stuff,
relatively stable.
Perhaps many people have some misunderstandings about the career of professionals. In fact, most professionals do not need any anti-pollution preparation. They absorb pollution and turn it into their own "career".
For professionals operating in the city, the chance of encountering the need for this kind of medicine is very low. If there is a super-high pollution source that "will mutate if you don't run", it is better to turn around and deal with it instead of taking medicine to fight it.
run.
Many offices and business departments will prepare some of this kind of medicine and equipment, but sometimes they expire as soon as they are ready, and they are too lazy to replenish them.
Now, all the "anti-pollution consumables" and "anti-material equipment" on the market are out of stock, and upstream raw materials have also skyrocketed, allowing many gardeners to make a fortune inexplicably.
Among them, the "lavender" produced here in Lupingan is not only extremely large in quantity, but also of ridiculously good quality. It is an excellent raw material for refining "lavender essence" and was sold out instantly.
"Everyone, please work hard and cut more grass and weeds and sell them at this price. I really didn't expect it. When the time comes, you will get a share."
When Lu Ping'an was studying magic plants for "regional purification of pollution", he had toyed with lavender for a while, and then he just threw these things casually in the courtyard.
The reason why lavender has become a symbol of "purification of pollution" is because it is so easy to grow and so easy to live in. There are a lot of "weeds" in the courtyard of this place, which is unavoidable.
But to be honest, Lu Pingping liked the little flowers on the roadside more than the empty white land, so he didn't care much about them.
Now, these weeds have been sold for gold prices, and the new employees have been given something to do, and they have also earned a share of the profits. It can be considered a good start in a sense.
The "Lavender Essence" is out of stock in the market, which is obviously due to many forces and individuals are stocking up. To prepare for exotic adventures, various anti-pollution equipment and consumables must be prepared.
Lu Ping An also asked Ms. Lululu to do more, and then asked Fang Wen to mass-produce a batch of crude anti-pollution equipment. Probably, it is to allow ordinary people to withstand the level of 0-level pollution, and more advanced anti-pollution equipment
, Lu Ping An can’t do it here either.
Some of it was put into storage as a strategic reserve, and some of it was thrown into the market but was instantly sold out. People nowadays are probably a little crazy.
They are rushing to purchase and reserve because once they go out, there may be no place to replenish these raw materials. Even if you have high-level craftsmen, high-level magic potions, and no raw materials specified in the formula, it is difficult for a skilled woman to make a meal without rice.
Perhaps, craftsmen can find a replacement for the same position, but this will take time and opportunity, so why not just stock up on Earth.
Lu Ping'an also realized that perhaps he could make stable profits just by selling "food" and "Earth Magic Plants" in foreign lands.
"Gardener is really a profession where you can make a fortune by selling raw materials."
