Originally, after making sure that everything was normal in the garden and the life bank was still empty, Lu Pingping should go back to sleep.
But he always felt that something was wrong there, that something seemed to have been overlooked.
And when he subconsciously touched the statue and operated the fields in the "garden", he suddenly understood.
"Operation core?! Let me go, this big cat!"
Finally, Lu Pingan realized something was wrong.
He turned his head with a smile and looked at the big cat silently. His calm eyes were like looking at the misbehaving tabby cat in his own home.
Ten seconds, twenty seconds, one minute... Finally, the big cat's scalp went numb and he took the initiative to speak.
"You...what do you want me to do?"
"Didn't you know earlier? The operation core...the bank headquarters and the gymnasium, where is the operation core?"
"What operation core? I..."
Lu Ping'an silently picked up his phone and took pictures while smiling.
“Nude piano singer debuts? Nun’s innocent AVI? Choose one?”
For an instant, Chris froze. She took a deep breath, her face full of helplessness.
In fact, she also knew that when she led Lu Pingping to build the garden, the lies of the past would be exposed sooner or later, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.
"...I know, it's not my fault to hide the core functions of part-time jobs. But it really doesn't have any impact. The functions that those two hubs can provide are useless to you now."
"I'll judge whether it's useful or not. Take me there... If there is a next time, just make your debut naked."
Lu Pingan was still smiling, but this time, he was serious.
Big Cat's behavior has slightly touched her bottom line.
"Damn, this secret realm doesn't come with an instruction manual, and the system never responds to my inquiries... Well, Kris-chan is the software, the operating system AI, so the 'instructions' deceived people?
"
What Lu Ping'an just realized, and what Chris was hiding, was that the rule building, as a product of "rules embodied", has a control hub.
Chris had deliberately misled Lu Ping'an, who had no experience in this area, and had a wrong perception.
He thought that these rule buildings would automatically take effect as long as they were used, and there was no need to use these two buildings in the first place... And these information gaps gave Big Cat room to hide his operations.
I have agreed with Big Cat "no lies", but that doesn't mean there will be no misleading or concealment.
But if Big Cat is really forced to "serve my interests and think", then the two sides will completely become mortal enemies that enslave each other... Big Cat will try every means to "comply with the rules" under the conditions of "conforming to the rules".
A safe road leads to death, even if that may be shared destruction.
Before, Lu Pingan had the patience to play with the big cat slowly. He knew that these things could not be rushed.
Later, after the two parties reached cooperation and had common interests of life and death, they also tried to improve the relationship and put the sincerity of cooperation on common interests.
Judging from the results, this is indeed a wise decision.
She gave Lu Ping An some pretty good development suggestions so far, and now she also took the initiative to explain the wonderful uses of the "Holy Icon" and began to serve Lu Ping An... for the survival interests of both parties.
But looking back now, some of the "lies" at the beginning seem very subtle.
In fact, now that she has come in safely, she also knows that this will be exposed sooner or later, and may have prepared the ugly daughter-in-law to meet her husband's family.
Even if there are no new buildings, gardens, stadiums and bank headquarters will still be useful once they are activated with special functions.
Or to put it another way, now she is ready to be exposed and wants to serve the common interests? Understanding this is the reason why Lu Ping'an didn't fall out on the spot.
Now, Chris took Lu Pingan to the stadium first. On a second-floor stand, Lu Pingan saw a "silver scale".
Just after touching it, Lu Pingan's frown relaxed. The big cat did not lie. This function is almost useless to him now.
"The adjustment button to speed up the recovery of physical strength (can consume life points to accelerate), and the switch to open the resurrection privilege in the gladiatorial arena (there is a daily resurrection quota, and life points can be used to recover after exceeding it). They are all mentioned before. The only thing hidden is
Just use the gambling function, this thing is really useless to me."
Looking at this function, Lu Ping'an was slightly stunned. Who did he learn this secret realm from? How to enter it requires recharging everywhere.
The prototype of the gymnasium is actually Chris's "Arena", which is the core area of her past secret realm and the area where most of her power and concepts have been left behind.
The function of betting battle is actually quite simple. The two warring parties can bet on "something", and the winner gets the money and the loser gets it.
The audience can also place bets. As long as both sides of the "scale" remain balanced, the bet can be established, but the bet must be for "life".
"Isn't the content of the duel limited to battle... It's interesting, maybe it can be used in the future."
This function is still unavailable now. The big cat did not lie, but it was a bit strange to give way to Ping An.
"Since it has no impact, why do you still lie?"
But soon, when the two of them arrived at the control center of Life Bank, the "front desk" operation desk, Lu Ping'an understood.
He closed his eyes and felt the "new function" he had just obtained. After thinking about it repeatedly, it was best to shake his head.
"It's too risky, and you can't directly increase your life points. Let's seal them temporarily. I won't activate them until I meet a suitable target... no, at least when I'm around level three."
And seeing Lu Pingan finally give up, Big Cat also breathed a sigh of relief.
Hiding these things (facility functions) that would be exposed sooner or later seemed like a foolish and short-sighted act, but in her opinion at the time, it was what she had to do.
At that time, she was very worried that Lu Ping'an, who was too young, would acquire the ability and play nonsense all the way, dragging the two of them to death together.
Now, Lu Ping'an has walked around the battlefield and understands what high-level professionals represent and how crazy and dangerous this world is. Even if he doesn't restrain himself, he won't just step on the line and give it away.
In a sense, this is also a kind of running-in, a kind of "mutual trust" that can only be gained by having enough understanding of each other.
But this incident actually gave Lu Ping'an a wake-up call.
Perhaps the big cat has indeed shared life and death with her, and she seems to be very docile, but she still has her own little calculations. Although she seems to be on the same boat, there is always a subtle gap, which must be constantly hammered and guarded against.
"If you think about it at worst, Big Cat is very timid, so she prioritizes saving her life most of the time and is too conservative. At best, Big Cat is very timid. If she doesn't have the necessary confidence, she probably won't play a big game."
Both new toys cannot be used, but their functions and tendencies point out the future direction for Lu Ping An
"Perhaps, my career plan can be adjusted slightly. Perhaps, I should now consider forming and cultivating my own team and looking for leeks...companions who have potential and can be trusted."
The various capabilities of Life Bank all point to "team", "transaction" and even "competition".
When you are alone in the secret realm, so many functions are basically wasted, which means that resources are idle...your time is extremely precious.
And the risk of exposure? In the world of the Secret Keeper, there are too many secrets and confidentiality methods that must be kept, and contracts and commitments are quite heavy.
To be more realistic, betrayal often requires a sufficient price, and what I can give is enough to attract any professional.
"For professionals, promotion not only means power and wealth, but also means the time to survive."
So, it seems, all you need to do is find the right person.
Thinking of this, Lu Pingan nodded thoughtfully.
"There is no rush, and there is no rush. Building a team requires the ability to control the situation, and the selection of candidates is also extremely important. It is better to have no teammates than to have no teammates. But you can first find a few high-quality leeks and improve their credit ratings as a backup
select."
The only problem is that the few high-quality leeks that I am currently eyeing, such as Senior Sister Hua and several other high-quality second-tier students, all have their own lives and are relatively difficult to contact on the Guda campus.
"Call and ask? If you take the initiative to contact me, I feel that you will be at a disadvantage in subsequent transactions."
At this time, Lu Pingan suddenly smiled.
"There are only three investment quotas. We can only kick out the least qualified ones. They have all passed the exam anyway. Maomao, you won't blame me, right?"
The innocent one was injured, and it was the cat.
But in fact, Lu Ping'an thought too much. After finishing the exam, Maomao couldn't help spending his living expenses to celebrate, and he had no money to renew his BUFF.
She called her brother to borrow money, but got the reply "I won't have the money until my salary is paid next month, and I'm eating in the canteen."
As a result, she not only started eating cat food in the past two days, but she was also worried about Lu Ping'an coming to collect debts.
What Lu Pingan didn't expect was that the day after he thought leeks were hard to find, leeks were actually delivered to his door... letting him choose!
"Sister Xia Qin? You want me to pick the specific personnel for the reinforcements? Okay, okay."
