579: Chapter 559: Development 579: Chapter 559: Development “Alright, let’s temporarily settle on this.”
In the midst of chaos, Lu Ping’an’s Rebirth Club began its formal operations.
The three core members who went out this time not only obtained the threshold for battle-professions but also acquired the Beastification Ability.
Upon their return, they went to communicate with the school authorities.
According to the previous enrollment agreement, once they become formal battle-professionals, they naturally receive better treatment and educational resources.
Merely transferring from preparatory class to regular class was not enough to satisfy them.
“A long-term employment agreement, huh?
Alright, come help me.”
It was a season of hiring for Lu Ping’an, and he would not refuse such a backbone newcomer with a clear background.
After the employment agreement provided by Rebirth Commerce, or rather Rebirth Company, was handed over to the school, it became their long-term leave approval…
Now they no longer needed to follow the school’s requirements and progress step by step through the standard process.
Nowadays, Rebirth Company is no longer a mere shell company, and the sales of its first flagship product “Lamplight Grass” are in high demand.
Meanwhile, the Rebirth Company, which holds the related patents, has a high market evaluation.
Although the income from selling Magic Plants may not make them rich overnight, stable and long-term legal revenue can be expected.
As a “high-tech company” founded by college students, it can also receive government subsidies and tax support.
Of course, the most important thing is always the title of “legitimate business.” These days, Lu Ping’an has received many invitations from the Church, some proposing to buy out the company, some suggesting cooperation…
“No need, we currently have no plans for expansion.”
“…But you’ll always need Land of Life, right?
Our company’s Land of Life and the related supporting services are top-notch, and they can boost your production capacity several times over.”
“No need, we’ve already solved that problem.”
“Is it the Land of Life from the Church of the Lady of the Forest?
To be honest, there are problems with their Land of Life…”
As a company mainly dealing in “Magic Plants,” Rebirth Company naturally attracted the attention of Life system churches…or rather, it attracted attempts at monopolization.
Generally speaking, joining them at the newcomer stage might not be a bad thing, as their technical, financial, and production material support is very strong, but if you accidentally get support from them for too long, your company will no longer belong to you.
Lu Ping’an has too many secrets in his hands and has no interest in this aspect, nor does he need the resources of a large company…especially when it comes to “Land of Life,” a high-level Gardener’s essential product that is almost monopolized.
Now, with the workers in his courtyard who just received their salaries, the fields in the courtyard are full, and at least for the short term, Lu Ping’an does not have to worry about orders.
The practical value of Lamplight Grass has been assessed…let’s just say it’s quite subtle.
Without the energy from Holy Fire occupations, this Magic Plant is probably only suitable for ornamental purposes.
On the other hand, the Holy Fire occupation practitioners in this world are very subtle.
As mentioned earlier, the Holy Fire system does have natural weaknesses: either risking one’s life to become a “fire source” or finding a reliable fire source to borrow fire from.
But obviously, there is no trustworthy Sun God in this world.
There are currently two Sun Gods competing for the position, and even if they succeed, they may not be able to provide the high-level Purifying Holy Fire needed by the Holy Fire system.
This has led to the awkward reality in this world, that making further progress in the “Holy Fire System” may not necessarily come with the backing of a reliable Deity.
Moreover, even if a Sun God does get employed, the character and hobbies of the new boss are a significant issue…
serving under the new human Holy Fire holder inevitably raises concerns.
Now, the Lamplight Grass that Lu Ping’an is putting out is an auxiliary product of the Holy Fire system from a battle system perspective.
If the Holy Fire system cannot develop domestically, the prospects of this project would not be favorable either.
However, looking at it from a different angle, this can be considered an early investment.
If the Holy Fire system develops well…
“It’s just a matter of time.
The most valuable inheritance in the Silent Mountain Range World has already introduced two Sun Gods into this world.
How could they possibly give up, especially since we already have a Moon God?”
If there’s no Sun God and Purifying Holy Fire, the Moon God’s influence would be significantly reduced.
But now that the Moon God is connected to the local world, there’s no way it would end here.
Lu Ping’an estimated that the market would only begin to pick up once the entire system was developed.
If there ever comes a day when each Lamplight Grass can achieve practical value, it will naturally result in tremendous and lasting revenue.
For now, it can only be considered an early investment.
But Lu Ping’an is already very satisfied.
As a newcomer just entering this academic world, this “boundless future” project is most suitable for small and medium-sized technology companies like him.
Having a popular big project might actually cause significant problems.
Having a project is not the focus, but with the implementation of the project, Lu Ping’an’s grassroots team has been built up.
Inside the new company, the armed security company led by Hua Xueyi has been established.
Although their current work is mostly meaningless “goods escorting,” at least they can rightly claim their wages.
Once a project starts running, whether or not it makes money is another matter, but the actual personnel support is real.
With the establishment of the new security company, it means that Lu Ping’an now has a reliable armed force at his disposal.
Among them, the high-level combat power consists of four fourth-tier mercenaries who have signed long-term cooperation agreements with Lu Ping’an, while the core backbone comprises the Knights from the Silent Mountain Range.
Some of them have become auxiliary police in the ancient city, while others, after selection, chose 36 people to become the core combat power of the new security company.
Their strength starts at the third-tier level, although due to problems with their profession system (Sealing Skill issues), their actual combat power can reach the 2-tier level at most.
Nevertheless, they remain a formidable group force in the ancient city.
Keeping such a high-level group force in the courtyard would be a waste, so through the channels of the mercenaries, they became a formal security company that can take on some security tasks, allowing them to both earn money to supplement their expenses and train their combat skills.
Just looking at it from another angle, Lu Ping’an, like other companies and churches, now has a “small army” at hand to carry out his tasks.
However, at this stage, both the Secret Realms and occupations that could make money in the ancient city were already occupied by veteran enterprises and churches, leaving newcomers with no opportunities to use their strength.
