Lu Ming looked at the leave application form in front of him with a hint of suspicion - Li Ergou applied for personal leave, saying that he wanted to go home to visit relatives to comfort his lovesickness.
go home?
Lu Ming remembered that Li Ergou's hometown... was in the Widow Village!
Didn’t this guy grow up surrounded by countless big sisters?!
oh.
Understood.
so……
This kid has been chasing Miss Tian for so long and has hit a wall repeatedly. Has he finally decided to give up on the illusory love and return to his hometown to give his right hand a holiday?
Well……
It can be considered a great enlightenment.
then.
Lu Ming waved his hand - it's done.
"Where's Zhou Jie?"
Lu Ming suddenly remembered.
"I'm lying on the bed. Do you want to..."
Li Haoran replied.
"never mind."
Lu Ming waved his hand.
Now that the progress of card research has skyrocketed, he is not in a hurry.
at present.
The most important thing is the Moon Shadow Island that was just completed! This is their first time participating in this kind of competition, so they don’t know what they need to prepare for.
Decision by vote or bid?
Don't understand at all.
but.
Since it was developed by the First College, just ask the dean.
then.
Lu Ming contacted the dean again.
"director."
"Look, we also have shares in this island, which was developed by the First Academy. Can we make a small request?"
Lu Ming asked.
"Easy to say."
The dean waved his hand, "What do you want?"
"for example……"
"Assign Yueying Island to our Sword Card Master Association in advance?"
Lu Ming whispered.
"???"
The smile on the dean's face suddenly froze. Your request is really petty!
"impossible!"
The dean's face turned dark.
"But……"
Lu Ming was unwilling to give in.
"Definitely impossible!"
The dean said angrily.
Nonsense!
Is it okay if I assign it to you privately?!
"oh."
Lu Ming was very disappointed, "Then...can you tell us some participation information? This should be fine...although it may not be of much use."
"..."
The dean was lost in thought.
cooperation method……
Theoretically, this part is not allowed to be published.
After all, once it is announced, targeted changes are likely to be made, but Lu Ming's small association with dozens of people... doesn't seem to matter... Lu Ming also has a stake.
Say it again.
I just rejected him...
"Can."
The dean nodded slightly, "I'll ask the assistant to send it over later."
"Thanks."
Lu Ming hung up the communication.
"..."
The dean didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Mist grass.
I always feel like...something's not quite right.
And at this moment.
Our classmate Lu Ming sighed deeply... Lu Xun is a great veteran!!!
for a long time.
The dean of education sent a document.
Um……
Complete information on the Moonshadow Islands Cooperation Agreement.
first.
Although the First Academy took the lead in the development of Moon Shadow Island, in essence, it was just taking the lead, with powerful forces involved behind the scenes!
In fact.
They may be involved in the countless ruins that have been developed so far!
Here...
Including but not limited to, xx Alliance, xx Real Estate Company, xx forces, xx Construction Company, xx Water Conservancy Company and a series of huge forces.
This is not an ordinary residential development.
This is a relic!
therefore.
Major forces participate in the development in different forms and hope to receive feedback from major associations.
for example--
Quotas for elite disciples of some associations.
There are always some children of big bosses who want to join major associations, but are not talented enough, so they can only enter in this special way.
certainly.
This refers to elite disciples.
for example--
Resources unique to each major association.
The ‘summoned beast’ resources of the Summoners Association… the ‘ticket’ resources of the Sword Cultivators Association… the ‘bodyguard’ resources of the Energy Warriors Association…
etc.
And so on.
Everything you can provide will be converted into a numerical value, and in the end, the association with the highest value will be selected.
oh.
Lu Ming understood.
In essence, it is still similar to a tender.
So……
What resources does the Sword Card Master Association have?!
"let me see……"
Lu Ming fell into deep thought.
As for the resources of the Sword Card Master Association, they really don’t have that kind of real resources!
Although I recently got a little money from the Assassin's Association, it can only support the normal operation of the association, and nothing else is possible!
Well……
According to their association...
Super-fast free takeout delivery?
or……
Spirit body?
"What kind of resource do you have?"
Xiao Xiaojian was speechless.
"This is called service!"
Lu Ming pouted, "With the development of science and technology, when the material foundation is satisfied, human pursuits will also become the spiritual foundation. This is service!"
In his world, there was a hot pot restaurant that focused on service. Don't worry about whether it tastes good or not, and whether it's expensive or not, the service must be in place.
Feel at home.
Free manicure, free shoe shine...
Train services.
Perfect.
When Lu Ming was in school, his biggest dream was to go to Huihui Huiguo to experience the service. Unfortunately, when he earned pocket money...
Looking back, the 31% discount service for college students who ordered hot pot has been cancelled.
Deeply regret it.
then.
He gave Xiaoxiaojian a rough description.
"Oh~"
Xiao Xiaojian suddenly realized, "I know this. This service was also included in a book I saw last time, although there was no word 'zhe' in it."
"???"
Lu Ming thought about it carefully and suddenly his face darkened.
Ganli Niang!
Do you know that you will be killed by river crabs if you stay with us?
"Serve!"
"Referring to the service industry!"
Lu Ming was furious.
The same goes for their Sword Card Masters Association.
Although there are few people, there are many spiritual beings!
He thought about it.
If all the spirits of the association are placed on Yueying Island, Yueying Island can also be built into a special world and special ruins exclusive to the spirits!
even……
It may be more complete than the original Moon Shadow ruins!
This is service!
"I don't feel good."
Xiao Xiaojian shook his head, "Service is too frivolous. Since you want to compete, you need substantial resources!"
"That must be there."
Lu Ming sighed.
Isn’t this nonsense!
If they had an association, would they still need to go to such trouble?
"I can think of one."
Xiao Xiaojian suddenly became excited.
"oh?"
Lu Ming's eyes lit up, "Quick, tell me?"
“Never demolition quota!”
Xiao Xiaojian said excitedly, "As long as you have this quota, you will not demolish a certain association or a certain force! Nor will you create cards for them! They will definitely like it!"
"how do you feel?"
The more Xiao Xiaojian thought about it, the more excited he became.
Snapped!
Lu Ming smacked the little sword back.
What kind of demolition... what kind of card maker, is he that kind of person?! Those were all accidents! It was just some small temporary changes that occurred when the card was made!
Moreover……
Does anyone know what he did?
No!
That’s it!
The ancients once said that when it comes to chickens, it doesn't matter what the heart is. If you don't get caught, it doesn't matter.
Xiaoxiaojian:???
Yes, is there such a thing?
"have."
Lu Ming was very sure, "This was an old man who caught two children and raped them."
"oh."
Xiao Xiaojian remained skeptical.
In short.
This quota of never being demolished is definitely impossible!
only.
Lu Ming felt even sadder when he thought about the association's other resources.
Apart from spiritual bodies, their association seems to have no other resources. When all the associations are added up and converted into a numerical value, it is also a very low value!
Horrible.
As the teaching director said, the current foundation of the Sword Card Master Association is really just joining in the fun, and it has no qualifications to compete with other associations!
…
"I'll look at other competitors first."
Lu Ming came back to his senses.
When it comes to bidding, sometimes it's not about how good you are, it's mainly about comparison. What if other associations are worse than them?
Right?
then.
Lu Ming turned directly to the participating associations.
Um……
Sword Masters Association.
Hammersmith Association.
Gun Repair Association.
Knife Repair Association.
Ding Xiu Association.
…
etc.
Because of the special nature of the Yueying Ruins, Yueying Island retains part of the characteristics of the ruins, so the style of the entire island is also based on mind + body!
therefore.
Elementalists, card makers and other associations will not participate at all!
However, even the competing associations that can come in are all big-name associations! There are a total of eighteen associations competing! All of them are well-known associations!
Lu Ming took a look.
Cried.
What’s the point of competing for this?!
There are only eighteen associations, but according to the estimated values in this manuscript, their Sword Card Masters Association actually ranks seventeenth!!
This location...
Huh?
etc.
Why seventeen?
Lu Ming glanced at it with some confusion, No. 18: Energy Warrior Association.
oh……
That poor association.
The Energy Warrior Association, because of its extremely strong physical fitness, will not waste a lot of money to participate in the purchase and cooperation of any relics!
For them -
Any wilderness is a ruin!
Any crisis is an opportunity!
Any living creature can be eaten!
As for why they signed up for every relic, they were just picking up the missing ones...
Yes.
They once successfully missed one.
Because other people saw it as too expensive and gave up bidding casually, their association once missed a huge relic.
Um……
It's the one Lu Ming went to last time.
→_→
And now...
Lu Ming took a look.
Estimated resources for energy warriors: ten six-star peak energy warrior bodyguards, what is their market value...
Then……
Gone.
Yes, this is what Energy Warrior usually offers.
this time……
No exception.
"Niubi!"
What can Lu Ming say?
Is this the number one association in the world?
Domineering!
for a long time.
Arrived at the office.
Lu Ming called Li Haoran over, "Who do you think can win?"
"Sword Cultivator Association."
Li Haoran was helpless after reading the information.
this……
The difficulty is higher than imagined.
"Not necessarily."
Lu Ming pondered for a moment, "Look, the main resource provided by the Sword Cultivator Association is this - registering tickets."
The so-called ticket is actually just a joking name. In essence, a seven-star or above sword cultivator, flying with a sword, will personally deliver you to your destination!
So fast!
Accurate positioning!
It’s also a kind of protection!
Being able to have the Seven Stars protect you...how precious is that?!
And this time.
The Sword Cultivator Association provides ten quotas each year.
Yes.
As long as you cooperate with the Sword Cultivator Association, they will dispatch Seven Star Sword Cultivators to escort you ten times every year! If used properly, this can be ten lives!
and……
Ten items per year!!!
As long as the Yueying Ruins are on the Sword Cultivator side, there will be them every year!
but.
This resource has a fatal problem.
It is precious to those who need it, but to those who don’t need it, it is garbage.
therefore.
Lu Ming raised his hand and said slowly: "As long as we let the people on Yueying Construction's side do not need to register tickets, won't the Sword Cultivator Association be abolished?"
"???"
Li Haoran was shocked, Wucao, Master, what are you going to do?!
"besides."
"Look here."
Lu Ming pointed to the information, "The Hammer Cultivation Association provides a unique 'Thousands of Hammers' project ten times a year, which can create ten powerful weapons!"
"This is also very precious and can be considered a strong competitor this time!"
"So……"
"What if Yueying Construction doesn't need it?"
"Right?"
"Then the hammer repair association can be considered abolished."
Lu Ming was in high spirits.
"..."
Li Haoran's heart grew colder the more he listened.
Mist grass.
Master...
What does Master want to do?!
"And this, this!"
Lu Ming said excitedly, "Look, Gun Xiu's this, Ding Xiu's this... If these are not needed, their competitiveness will be greatly reduced! By then, if we have more attractive services, we can stand out.
!”
"???"
Li Haoran was shocked.
etc.
Could it be that……
Master wants to get rid of all those people in Yueying Construction who have such needs??
Mist grass!
What should he do?!
Master...
Has Master finally decided to take this path?!
perhaps……
This is the price of growth!
never mind.
Master had been very kind to him, so what if he was wrong?!
if……
If there is really retribution, let me bear it!
then.
Li Haoran said in a deep voice, "Master, please leave it to me."
"Um."
Lu Ming pointed to the list excitedly, "I've already thought about it. I'll start with Mr. Qian. He mainly wants to fight for resources for his grandson! We can definitely serve him well!"
"clear."
Li Haoran calmed down and said, "I will get rid of other people involved in the construction."
"Um?"
Lu Ming looked confused, "Get rid of, get rid of?"
"Don't worry, Master."
Li Haoran said solemnly, "Although my strength is average, I know a lot of people in this position. As long as the time is right, I can get rid of them..."
"???"
Lu Ming was confused.
Mist grass.
Is this apprentice so cruel?
???
but.
He reacted quickly, dumbfounded, "Who said we were going to get rid of them!"
"ah?"
Li Haoran said sarcastically, "Isn't it?"
"What are you thinking about?"
Lu Ming said angrily, "Let them not need this kind of resources, that is to say, we can use other better things to replace them!!"
"for example--"
"That ticket!"
"Do you really think it's not cold to fly while hanging?"
"Even with seven-star protection, flying in the sky is still a painful experience for ordinary people! So why are tickets so popular?!"
"Because it's fast!"
"Because it's safe!"
"At this time, they can provide better services than registering tickets!"
Lu Ming said in a deep voice.
"Oh oh oh."
Li Haoran suddenly realized.
I see.
He just said, the master is so good, how could he have such thoughts?
"sorry!"
Li Haoran was very ashamed.
but.
Better service than hanging tickets...
What is it again?
This kind of thing comes from their association again?
“Can’t we create without it?”
Lu Ming smiled slightly, "We are sword card masters! Although we focus on swords recently, we have a stronger core than card makers after all!"
"as far as I know……"
"There is a service in this world that is far better than "Handling Tickets"!"
"and……"
"I think the other party is happy to cooperate with us."
Lu Ming looked calm.
"really have?"
Li Haoran was shocked.
"certainly."
Lu Ming smiled slightly, "That profession is...Array Master!"
