Originally, various groups were sent out on exploration missions, and it was up to their own abilities to earn as much as they could. But now, there have been many changes in both the internal composition of the small groups and the external conditions.
Before, when we came here, whether it was the new recruit Danzi or the idle personnel of the Third Special Service Team, especially the mercenaries, they were actually independent explorers.
They are responsible for their own profits and losses, and they make a living on their own. At best, they can only be regarded as safe cars on the road. They are only short-term collaborators. It is not known whose car they will take back and forth next time.
But this time, due to the crisis of animalization, Lu Ping'an had a "showdown"
It's hard to say whether this was part of his plan. At least judging from the results, everyone signed a new long-term cooperation contract with him.
He is the biggest beneficiary of this accident. For him, harvesting these talents is even more important than rule-level treasures.
"The reason is not important in the first place. The most important thing is the rich remuneration and benefits, as well as the comfort of the job and the potential for development."
Lu Pingan saw it very clearly. His ability and talent determined that he was not a strong lone wolf. On the contrary, he was very suitable for cultivating powerful thugs and helpers, and then achieving a win-win situation.
But here, there is a little problem. How to make sure that the strong ones who have grown up will not betray, and how to make sure that the atmosphere of the team will not change qualitatively.
It's not that Lu Ping'an is dissatisfied with getting together easily, but in the early stages of growing up, he didn't want to really become a "bus". Once this kind of atmosphere takes shape, he will really become a bus stop, and others will come to him.
Just leave with a gold.
In Lu Ping An's own future plan, a stable team is divided into several levels. The outermost ordinary members and external customers can easily get together and disperse. The end of the transaction is the end, but as the backbone of the core team, they must be relatively stable.
"Since my ability can accelerate growth, it would be more reliable to cultivate it from an early age."
Lu Ping'an sees it very clearly. The initial small circle of a team is the core of the team, and it is also the "atmosphere group" of the team. Talented people who join later must also take the initiative to adapt to the style and attitude of the core team.
When he sees a real genius, of course Lu Ping'an wants it, but he can't rush it. Playing his cards well, bringing up the backbone, and building a circle are his first priorities.
The "showdown" caused by an unexpected combination of circumstances was actually part of his plan, otherwise there would be no Plan Zero. If he really didn't want to be exposed at all, he could have thrown the weaker team members to the ground.
, anyway, they can't help in the war.
Now, he holds two "paths" of Holy Fire and Beast Transformation. To be immodest, plus the courtyard, the training mechanism he has in hand is no worse than a small evil god church.
Although there is no way to rise after the silver level, 99% of professionals will not have the chance to reach that day. Just the first three levels are enough to train a large number of recruits and backbones.
What's more, he is confident that when he really needs a path beyond the fourth level, he can cultivate it himself.
What he needs now is mainly "cadres", people with reliable abilities who can really help him share the burden.
This time, if there is really a deputy, Lu Ping'an can send a team to stay in the Holy Capital to learn about the latest progress and news in real time, and at the same time, take over the "resources" missed by some large teams.
If it's even worse, I don't have to bet only on Schleier. Although I made a lot of money this time, it's a bit of luck. Under normal circumstances, I still divide into several teams to explore. Which family will dig first?
Once you reach the treasure, it is more reliable to call for support.
In a sense, allowing them to form a group to explore on their own is also an assessment of the independent ability of most members.
Do you really expect them to explore something? Lu Pingan is not greedy. There are only two ways now, as well as supplementing the corresponding resources and knowledge. Lu Pingan has no time to spare.
Taking a step back, if there is a reliable deputy, Lu Pingan will not have to run between the team and research. He can completely entrust all the trivial matters to the deputy, concentrate on research by himself, and complete "Lamp Grass" as soon as possible.
Now, he doesn't have such a person on hand.
Xia Qin? Guan Xinxian? They have good character and good personal strength. If they are trained, they have a bright future. However, they were rejected by Lu Ping An from the beginning.
".They are so kind."
Lu Ping'an vaguely revealed these words to Xia Qin and Guan Xinxian himself, and the two of them smiled bitterly in unison.
This is a fact. In the face of the current crisis, these two people are too "moral." They privately used their team's resources and saved many people.
Xia Qin helped the patrolling knights on duty and killed many people who took the opportunity to "buy for zero dollars". Guan Xinxian even saved people along the way and even took the initiative to teach rescue skills. The first time they saw the victims, they thought
Help, not what you can get in return.
Lu Ping'an can pretend that he has not seen this kind of thing. He also likes this kind of person very much. He is especially good as a friend, and he has no intention of letting the two of them "correct".
But if he is regarded as the leader of the team, this is unqualified. When do the interests of outsiders and strangers become more important than the interests of team members?
In this aspect, Maomao is much better than them. At least whatever Lu Pingan wants Maomao to do, she will be lazy and complain, but she will not discount it. Lu Pingan has also noticed that she has no unnecessary "self-restrictions".
In a sense, she, like her brother who endured a cruel childhood, has been in a thin moral zone for a long time.
She is kind to the people and things she values, but is very apologetic to strangers.
"Meow? Who are you? Just die, meow!"
In fact, she is far more "cruel" than she appears, and even has the bad habit of playing with her prey. She has never had the habit of holding back her hands, which is the basis for Lu Ping'an's willingness to keep increasing her bets.
She may have been slipping in ability, but she has never compromised in her style of conduct and independent execution of tasks.
Lu Ping'an's order this time was to explore and look for opportunities, and she has been looking for them.
On the contrary, something went wrong between the two teams led by Guan Xinxian and Xia Qin. One went to help "eliminate the demons" and the other brought back a large number of victims. The exploration mission could only be said to be completed.
Lu Ping'an doesn't think there's anything wrong with this, it's even a good deed, but it's also true that the team's time and resources have been wasted.
Maomao is the future backbone that Lu Ping An is looking forward to, but her current abilities and personality are not suitable for being a deputy. She lacks enough "flexibility" and "ambition". Without flexibility and emotional intelligence, she cannot become the core of the team.
With enough ambition, it is easy to lack the enthusiasm as a leader.
So, what kind of people meet Lu Ping An’s requirements?
There are people like Fang Wen and people like Chris who are selfish enough, ambitious enough, capable and have means.
"Tsk, is this life? We have become the person we hate the most."
Perhaps, their ambitious and cunning selfish nature is the reason why they grew up.
Sometimes, Lu Pingan feels that he is contradictory. He needs a capable careerist but also needs to ensure his loyalty. It is simply a joke.
But this time, it seems possible
"I'm very optimistic about you, Catherine."
Lu Ping'an's casual compliment was actually the truth.
The situation this time is special. If these "rootless people" want to live well in the future, they must find a place to survive under a big tree.
Even if they return to Earth, their "passports" still need a guarantor, and a long-term cooperation contract is a must. Any comment about betrayal may be a stain that cannot be erased in their lifetime.
Their status as "rootless" means that they must find a target to pay "loyalty" to.
Lu Ping'an is confident that as long as he does it right, he can completely gain their long-term allegiance. It's just the courtyard's sacred fire and the power of animal transformation, which are future resources that they cannot abandon, unless they are willing to change their paths and start all over again.
Marianne may still have this path, but Catherine, whose body is burned in the holy fire, is basically out of the question.
As for whether they are from Earth, others may value it, but Lu Ping'an thinks it doesn't matter.
But this time, the news that came through was a little disappointing.
"Catherine said that a group of disaster victims needed help, so they stayed? Uh, and asked us for help?"
Hearing this, Lu Pingan smiled, but his playful words made Marianne very uneasy.
Hence, the previous scene happened. Marianne personally took action. Not only did she entrust Xue En, whom Lu Ping An trusted, to take action (lead the team), but she also prepared to go into battle herself.
Maomao also set off, saying he was going to help his new friend.
But Lu Pingan was entrusted with a small task in private.
"Help me find out why she stayed. Is it for more benefits? Or is it just pure chivalry?"
"Meow, leave it to me, Meow."
Watching the support team set off, Lu Pingan shook his head and got into his laboratory again.
In a sense, apart from some achievements in the laboratory this week, other investments were in vain. The several groups I divided basically did not come up with decent answers.
"Tsk, originally, I was looking forward to Catherine's side."
Little did he know that Catherine had indeed caught a big fish at this time, but it was just so big that not everyone could eat it.
In front of the red-haired female knight at this time was a golden temporary tent, a super luxurious tent with bathing facilities, stables, and a tea garden.
Generally speaking, when you see this kind of tent appearing in the wild, you will only think that the user has a broken head. Isn't this clearly shouting "rob me, rob me".
But in the past years, under normal circumstances, just the emblem on the tent was enough to scare away any bandits.
That is a crown protected by golden griffins and falcons. It is the emblem of the royal family, and it is...
"The bloodline of the Crown of Honor has been scattered everywhere. Has the Holy City become such a mess?" As a knight, Catherine should be very heartbroken, but looking at the frightened royal members, she showed a happy smile.
