799: Chapter 785: Gift 799: Chapter 785: Gift “You must work hard, the city leaders have high expectations of you, we can’t afford to lose…”
The above “friendliness” left Lu Ping’an taken aback.
But if you think about it, it’s only natural…
Now the whole ancient city might already be in an “overload” state.
Either they upgrade successfully or they simply crash and burn.
Perhaps this “provincial capital”, they have bet on a lot of things.
The right to develop?
The administrative privileges of various cities?
Or the right to develop the foreign domain?
“None of my business…” If it was at a normal time, Lu Ping’an might rudely respond with this, and then simply ignore them.
“Alright, I’ll work hard and definitely show the style of the ancient city.”
But this time, Lu Ping’an was much more accommodating.
Not long ago, Lu Ping’an was summoned by the government, which he found very annoying…
Well, Lu Ping’an hurried over.
Lu Ping’an rarely took the time to tidy up his clothes and dress up.
He got off his vehicle and even put on coloured contact lenses, smiling as he received the award from the leader.
The ceremony took all morning, and those honored were the soldiers who performed exceptionally well in this war.
Since Lu Ping’an’s parents came, he behaved like a normal person throughout…
he did not yawn or do anything strange, overall, the ceremony concluded normally.
After the ceremony was completed, carrying the “big box”, Lu Ping’an saw everyone as family.
“What to choose?” Like last time, Lu Ping’an still planned to seek Da Mao’s opinion.
If there were life system treasures in the inventory, Lu Ping’an would choose them first, but in the end, there were no taboo items for the second priority “scholar” and “pure fire manipulator” series…
The choice of the weapon last time was correct, the value of a weapon is at least two grades higher than objects of the same level.”
Surprisingly, among the weapons, there was one that was particularly suitable for Lu Ping’an.
But after Lu Ping’an actually applied for it, he encountered an audit period…
obviously, this weapon was really too dangerous and someone was worried about it.
Lu Ping’an wasn’t in a hurry, he just honestly went to work.
With the current chaos, the pressure on the Special Service Team is massive…
in the end, what’s needed is to “establish authority”.
The Special Service Team is a paramilitary organization and a national public security department.
“Employment” and “settlement of disaster victims” are important, but are tasks of the government administration.
We, as special police, need to protect the safety of our citizens…
Just beat the outsiders, ambitious people, instigators, and lawbreakers into submission.
The detention center of the police station was full of prisoners.
The “simplified procedure” of the judiciary was constantly executed, and truckloads of criminals were thrown into the prison…
the Ice-mountain prison.
At this point, Lu Ping’an stood out.
Not only does he demolish buildings, he has several times paraded through the city dragging along rule-level strongmen.
Unlike other high-combat powerfighters, Lu Ping’an knows exactly what needs to be done right now…
it’s not about killing a few frenzied fools, but about deterrence, a strong deterrence.
“Even rule-level strongmen can be dragged to jail, and who do you think you are?”
Lu Ping’an didn’t bother to bother with these small fries, he directly targeted the strongmen among the troublemakers, if he could beat them, he would find any excuse to beat them up on the street and then drag them away.
To the strongmen, this is humiliation.
To the weaker ones, it’s a comfort.
As for the chaotic situation, the most dangerous are actually these “supernatural ability users”.
They are like “gun-holders” mixed in the peaceful alternate world.
When they possess the power of arms and face adverse situations, they themselves become unstable factors.
At present, the cores and leaders of these “gangs” are basically supermen from various worlds.
They hold an overwhelming advantage over local ordinary police officers, and even in the eyes of the Special Service Team, they are tough nuts to crack.
Lu Ping’an has knocked down several of these “tough nuts”, turning them into “broken bones”, naturally reducing a lot of trouble for him.
This type of violent intimidation is simple and effective, but it can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause…
But addressing the root cause should not be the responsibility of the Special Service Team.
After aligning their ideologies, the Bureau of Anomaly Management and the Special Service Team showed great awareness…
They set their sights on the supermen who had gone astray and gave them a good beating.
Dare to cross the line and there will be consequences.
“Immediate execution of the death penalty” to those who committed heinous crimes was performed several times on the spot.
For foreign supermen, it will probably not be enough to merely ask them to respect the locals and local laws.
Hanging a few heads should probably be enough…
“Short term it will be enough, but long term…”
“Long term is not our business, resolving disagreements is not possible with brute force alone.
We just need to buy time and create an environment for dealing with these issues.”
Lu Ping’an, on the contrary, saw things quite openly.
He happily sought out the “outsider” to gather combat experience, continuously transforming his tactical platform and combat skills.
“…I reckon it won’t be that easy to settle things.”
“That’s not our problem…
if it can’t be solved, we’ll all be doomed.”
His activism greatly shook the “supermen” in his jurisdiction, which became the area with the lowest crime rate…
other jurisdictions wanted to learn, but not necessarily had the combat strength of Lu Ping’an’s level.
The situation changed too quickly, and the captains of the Special Service Team needed to expand again, but they hadn’t kept up just yet.
Lu Ping’an’s “performance” was just to provide a good environment for his friends and relatives, but in the eyes of some people above, it was considered a commitment and a statement.
So, Lu Ping’an got the big box.
He didn’t rush to open it…
The rule-level “seal boxes” were quite valuable.
Releasing just any level of taboo items was asking for trouble.
Finally, after completing all these tasks and having a meal with his parents and sending them home, Lu Ping’an returned to the courtyard and opened the treasure box.
Not bad, really not bad.”
It was a black and red “longsword”, but the handle alone was the length of a regular person’s arm.
The blade was single-edged, with faint traces of lava flow on it.
Blood-like magic lines and eyeball-like “decorative gems” were all over it, making it look sinister.
The Abyss Beheading Sword, a weapon that brings back memories…”
Big Cat recognized it at a glance, then had Lu Ping’an take it without hesitation.
“…..This is a special weapon used by top-level special magic monsters in a very bloodthirsty and combative special world, who each have their own small worlds.
According to them, only a lord can use a ‘God Weapon’, they call themselves the Lords of the Abyss, and such weapons are also known as Abyss Beheading Sword and Abyss Demon Whip…
uh, it seems that the whip wasn’t seized.”
“That thing must be massive.”
“Very large indeed, in its normal form it’s three times larger than the complete version of me…
the version of me you’ve seen.”
Lu Ping’an strokes the handle of the sword, it was supposed to look like a “one-handed sword”, but when Lu Ping’an took it up, it was at least two meters long, he could only use it as a cavalry saber (or a cavalry soldier’s weapon).
Even in the armored state, this thing seemed too long and too large, no wonder no one could use it…
“This thing was made from resentful dead souls and evil flames, it’s naturally a high-quality negative energy cursed weapon, but what I value more, is its excellent modifiability, many Abyss Lords’ Beheading Swords have their own style…”
Surprisingly, this weapon was rated as Lower Gold by the Life Bank, while there were still taboo items of Mid Gold level in the warehouse, Big Cat urged Lu Ping’an to take this one.
Actually trying it out, it turned out to be incredibly useful.
