How Am I Still Alive?

Cabbage, white jade and light clouds.

When the new world comes into view, what greets us is a faint fragrance.

It was a fragrance that was mixed with lilies and herbs, completely different from the expected salty and fishy smell of the ocean. The whole world was like bubbles in a dream, beautiful and delicate, even a little fragile.

The faint white light coming towards me, there was enough sunshine in this world, but it didn't reach the point of hurting people.

“It’s even more beautiful than expected.”

This is the first time most outsiders are exposed to the feeling of Mercury 42.

Among the local people, it also has a more beautiful name, "Langirda", which means "bright and abyssal blue pearl".

"If it can be developed into a tourist destination, it will definitely sell well."

Someone said so.

"Many people say this when they first meet, but if you really stay here for three months, hehe, the abyss, the fish monster, and all kinds of messy disasters will end up running faster than the last one."

When Lu Ping'an and his party just appeared outside the portal in the dock area, a man had already been waiting here.

"Who are you?"

"Liu Wenke, an employee of Earth Dragon Guardian. We have a local tour guide company and an intermediary company. It seems that you didn't pick us up at the airport. It should be an independent team. Are you interested in learning about our business?"

Hearing this, Lu Ping'an and his party also relaxed a little. At least from now on, the environment is relatively safe.

"Of course, that's what we need."

Mercury 42 has a very, very vast area, and a huge part is covered by the ocean, which also means that very few land areas face encounters and battles of purgatory level.

The area Lu Pingping and his party chose was naturally not that area, nor the city they came to.

"Floating City, you have also seen it, a floating city on the water. In fact, most of the maritime cities in the world are like this. Newcomers may not understand it, but the 'Floating Bamboo' building materials in this world are actually quite good materials. , its toughness is enough to support a steel platform."

Fuluo City is a second- or even third-tier city in this world, but it is quite famous as a logistics and commercial gathering place.

When Lu Ping'an came here, he didn't intend to just take a stroll and then leave. At his point, since he was here, he naturally wanted to pursue long-term interests.

For example, the Green Planet at that time could steadily generate huge profits. If Lu Ping'an had the strength and confidence now, he might even get more.

However, an idle force like the "Church" and the official (Dongguk) style of conduct are not the same thing.

It is unlikely that they have a stable coordinating relationship. You are a war hero who has made meritorious service, and you sacrificed your life for the benefit of the whole. But who is the whole? They are not part of the country, so there is no need to record your achievements.

Therefore, even if you want to obtain long-term benefits in other star regions, it is unrealistic to wait for the money after you have made great achievements, because there is no authoritative boss who can "coordinate the money distribution". You can only set up your own influence and influence there. Only by branching out can we obtain stable profits.

This is also one of the reasons why Lu Ping An needs to further expand. At this point, just "being able to fight" no longer means much.

High-level thugs are actually the most lacking and indispensable. As long as the reward is sufficient, there will always be capable mercenaries who come from thousands of miles away.

To establish a powerful war group, they will choose the frontline war zone, where resources are abundant and easy to harvest. At the same time, there are endless combat missions, but Lu Ping'an will choose the commercial city behind.

“Do you need hotel services?”

The tour guide in front of him probably thought that Lu Ping'an was just the leader of a small team who came to second- and third-tier cities to try his luck.

"I need local business, industry, and ethnic information, and I will pay for it. By the way, I also need some local knowledge about life."

Lu Ping'an didn't talk nonsense. It was a taboo to talk briefly and deeply. He had no intention of revealing his plan to "build a factory locally."

First understand the local situation, and then determine the next strategy

"The great Lin Nu is taking care of us, but she is too far away from us when she is still in the mainland. The Dongguo camp here is organized by the Three Gods Federation."

The battle for Mercury 42 has long been beyond the reach of just one organization and one individual. Since it is the "main battlefield", it is natural for top-level combat forces to participate.

In the outer starry sky of this world, in addition to the star ships that come and go, there are four gods belonging to human forces anchored.

Three of the bosses directly or indirectly led this war. At least their existence ensured that the mortals on the surface of the planet would not be slaughtered by the other side.

“The god of war ‘Biao’, the god of the ocean ‘Luna Wensi’, and the god of life ‘Primary’.”

These three gods are the de facto "kings" of this planet.

They may have once been a member of the earth's gods, but they seem to have been linked to the local world. While becoming "local gods", they have also gained more "world privileges" and power.

The reason why newcomers must be told this is because fighting in this world or even just surviving cannot do without the help of these gods.

"Some food, some clean water, and sincere prayers."

Just in front of the outsiders, the local guide found a temporary altar and performed an extremely simple prayer ceremony.

The stack of biscuits quickly turned into ashes, which meant that the sacrifice had been accepted by the gods, and then, the gods' "grace" arrived as expected.

A faint white light enveloped the guide, and he showed a comfortable expression.

"This is the divine gift of adapting to the environment. It allows us to become more adaptable to the local air and water sources. Otherwise, it is very likely that you will become acclimatized and take bed rest within a week."

[Pseudo Divine Grace. Environmental Purification (Black Iron Lower Level): The pseudo divine grace that only takes effect on Mercury 42 can help you filter out the toxins in the local environment that are harmful to humans in the 'atmosphere' and 'water sources'. Validity period: 72 hours. 】

[Note: If you can get the favor of the ‘primary candidate’, this divine favor can be upgraded to a pseudo-permanent version and directly replaced by a superior. 】

Even professionals who have long been inhumane cannot adapt to all foreign environments, and even high-level professionals may not be able to adapt to this huge planet in front of them.

The experience of the pioneers turns into the benefits of the latecomers. As long as this simple prayer ritual is used regularly, even low-level professionals will not be directly attrited due to environmental problems.

Lu Ping'an obtained the "pseudo divine grace" information through the Life Bank, and after confirming that there was no problem, he directly recorded the ritual process.

I'm afraid all his members must complete the "coating" through this ceremony.

And this is the most basic of the three-piece local survival kit.

[Pseudo Divine Grace. Underwater Breathing (Black Iron Lower Level): Gives you the ability to breathe freely in the water. 】

[Pseudo Divine Grace. Alien Sense (Black Iron Lower Level): Allows you to perceive the existence of the nearest alien race. 】

The three gods, after each being connected to the world, were given a privilege exclusive to "human beings". Only with this privilege can they have the basic conditions to survive in this world.

And just from these, Lu Ping'an vaguely realized that the local situation is really special, and the degree of intervention of gods far exceeds that of the earth.

Moreover, they gave far more than the gods of the earth

"As long as you contribute enough, can you purchase even the real high-level divine grace directly?"
