How Am I Still Alive?

Business and trade in this world are doomed to have no future.

"Is this what someone who has been regarded as the God of Business should say? They all think that there is business in your priesthood."

"Trading is not equal to business, not to mention that I am a 'trading of life'. Life is the core, and trading is incidental."

In a peaceful world, business and trade can win. In the war era and world, pure business behavior only makes oneself fatter and more valuable, and eventually becomes someone else's "treasure chest monster".

In the war era, the final victory condition is only victory in the war. After the "currency" obtained reaches a certain level, it cannot be converted into war resources. In this world without a universal currency and no commercial agreement, the profit obtained solely by trade is meaningless.

"However, as a strategic disguise, it is valuable, and it is huge"

From the feedback of the intelligence, Lu Ping'an's smoke bomb has taken effect. They probably really think that Lu Ping'an is an alien god of business and the guardian of travelers and vendors. This is actually the priesthood given to Hua Xueyi by Lu Ping'an, but it is actually one of her disguises.

Even the caravan mentioned that the God of Peace (God of Eternal Life) had an ally of the God of Fighting. In their eyes, this was a weak but professional god of logistics development.

When the caravan was able to provide weapons and food, these travelers from the outside world proved their value.

Of course, it was also the time for this armed caravan to prove its combat effectiveness. Fei'er followed as a "thug". As a "son of God" in religion, she could directly borrow the power of Lu Ping'an and Chris.

The Iron Legion was the personal guard of the "God of Peace" Lu Ping'an. He also consciously divided it, so that the Flame Legion, which was destined to bring destruction, belonged to the "God of War".

Hua Xueyi was a "God's Messenger", or a higher "God King Messenger", and the direct executor of Lu Ping'an's will.

After becoming a "magic pet", she also had immortality. Even if the current body was destroyed, Lu Ping'an could still revive it by resurrecting the magic pet.

And she, who had sufficient qualifications, strong mobility, and immortality, was naturally the most suitable messenger.

"My clone has already moved in six directions."

After inheriting Zhixi's living armor template, Hua Xueyi evolved in a more bizarre direction.

[Metal Harmony Body (Golden Middle Level Physical Ability): Liquid metal body can split metal core droplets and integrate them into the metal body for use as clones. The current limit is twelve drops. ]

Sounds weird? This is actually an ability that Hua Xueyi had in the past, and it is the most basic ability of her fused magic pet metal slime.

Continuously splitting oneself is the instinct of slime to split and reproduce. It is difficult to determine whether these generally low-intelligence lives have a self. After all, they cannot even have a stable memory module.

And it is this characteristic that makes them, with their thin self, the most suitable blender and clone material.

Which of the split slimes is the past one? This question is meaningless to slimes, but it is very meaningful to Hua Xueyi.

Judging from the results, those "Hua Xueyi" are all part of her. After the top extraordinary people abandon the shackles of the flesh, their existence scale is originally "a mass", and now they are just divided in a new way.

With the half body of a metal slime, she naturally awakened this racial talent.

It's not special, but it's useful.

Now, Hua Xueyi can separate droplets one by one and incorporate them into living armor, metal humanoids, and robots. She has become the leader of various caravans and also a high-quality messenger for Lu Ping'an.

She is the most mobile, and in a sense, she has become an indispensable person in the expansion of power.

"Two caravans have been completely destroyed, and the clones are dead. Tsk, they also declared that they will attack our homeland."

"Let them talk."

Some of the separated caravans were very smooth, and the lords they met were more rational, but after several safe passages, the next encounter might be a beast or a butcher.

In an era of inconvenient transportation, the so-called safety and stability of the trade route was originally tested by human lives, and Lu Ping'an's cost here is already quite low.

Those active armors and robots are also mass-produced "consumables" in a sense. As the guide of the caravan, Hua Xueyi can only send twelve people at most. Letting her take it easy now is still Lu Ping'an's choice.

"Continue to send more caravans. Has the new trade route network blueprint been determined?"

The road that the caravan has traveled is naturally the so-called "safe trade route".

Some gods are easy to deal with, while others are destined to be unable to pass. Just by paying this cost, Lu Ping'an has obtained various precious information and feedback. He feels that he has made a lot of money.

The other gods' contempt for the "God of Commerce" is also the main reason why Lu Ping'an's behavior is relatively smooth.

A weak god who is far away, has no threat and can provide commodity assistance, most gods who are far away are willing to give certain conveniences.

But from another perspective, the gods around are not so honest.

For the wealthy, especially the wealthy businessmen and logistic gods who are close enough, they will directly rob them.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"A bunch of trash, what's the point of hard work."

The returning Chris was a little unhappy. She hadn't even had enough fun, but the opponent ran away.

As the "God of War", she is the leader of the army and the general commander of the direct confrontation.

"Did you gain anything?"

"Yes, and a lot."

Lu Ping'an responded with a smile. The initial gains made him very satisfied.

"There is a place you should like. It is called the 'Forest of Cats'. All the cat-type beastmen are produced in that area, and various rare species can also be produced. As long as we get the 'rules', our beast fossils should produce various rare cat-like beastmen."

"Are you sure it's not your hobby? If Xiao Shuiyun was not so unqualified, you almost gave her the duties of the messenger of God."

When Chris said this, her expression was a little subtle.

She is a conservative. Her night life with Lu Ping'an is basically in human form, and she has repeatedly rejected some of Lu Ping'an's requests. Often the next day, you can see Lu Ping'an going to "cats".

If you really find the holy land of cats, are you sure it won't be a good day for Lu Ping'an himself?

"Forget it. Tell me more about the land of life."

The first feedback from the caravan was information about various rules, environments, and buildings.

As long as this information was obtained, it would naturally become a nutrient for the evolution of Lu Ping'an's forces.

This kind of business behavior of part-time intelligence personnel was too consistent with historical facts, and the intelligence network that was spread out was already effective.

And these things would also become the "petri dish" for Lu Ping'an's own evolution from God.

He, and they, were efficiently absorbing local resources to complete their own evolution.
