How Am I Still Alive?

"What? Lazy again?"

"Oh, I'm just a blind man flipping through a book, the more I read, the more blind I become?"

After telling a cold joke that he couldn't even laugh at, Lu Pingan raised the book in his hand, which was his "notebook" full of extraordinary knowledge.

He is indeed very idle now, and among his team, he is probably the only idler.

"I have divided the project and the scope of work. How to complete it next is their business. If it can't be completed, I will replace it."

The experience of the two generations gave Lu Pingan a slightly different management philosophy from this era.

He is not the traditional kind of leader who "I build an organization, I am responsible for the organization, and for the operation of the organization, I have to divide the responsibilities bit by bit and recruit people to work".

He's more like a new-age "outsourcing company" of "I have a project, so I need some people to finish it, and if they do it well, they can form a stable working relationship."

He didn't divide the departments first and then distribute the tasks.

Instead, they first threw out projects one by one and handed them over to the department heads to let them do it.

Throwing the project to them in advance is also to let them start thinking, preparing, and recruiting people to do it now.

If you do well, the department heads belong to them. If you don't do well, if you recruit from outside, they will transfer to the deputy.

".Do you think they can handle it alone?" Xia Qin sighed, and only she could take the initiative to ask what Lu Ping'an's hands-off shopkeeper meant.

"No, it's not bad to complete one or two achievements during this rest period."

Lu Pingan shrugged his shoulders. He still knew the abilities of his colleagues.

"But the point is not whether they can complete this project, but after starting this project, the funds, materials, and human resources we have accumulated will be integrated in order to complete the goal and become a shape that can produce certain results."

Now, Xia Qin understood a little bit.

".First draw a goal, borrow the process of achieving the goal, and build a team?"

"It's almost as much as you can do. In this process, everyone's management and organizational skills are also considered. They must recruit special personnel to get it done, and it saves me to recruit people myself."

Lu Pingan saw it very clearly, he knew that those in his core team were not qualified leaders.

He set up a company and built a community structure, not to play the old game of domination.

"If you ask me, it's definitely not just for their mission. Don't worry, I don't have ambitions, and I won't go against the times to become a warlord. I just want to expand the way to obtain resources. At the same time, I want to better my career path." further."

"Really?" Xia Qin was silent for a moment. She didn't want to do this, but she had to ask clearly.

"Yes." Lu Ping'an was very sincere.

"Then you... it's a little strange. It was there when you were there, and it was even more so after you left. You were always thinking about something."

Xia Qin didn't make any detours, and asked directly if she had any ideas.

In her opinion, Lu Pingan is indeed a bit strange these days. He is not a proactive person, let alone make plans so long in advance.

He has power, but lacks the motivation to use it.

Is it because of the huge harvest this time, the change in status and identity, that made him want to change his attitude? No, Lu Pingan is not such a person.

The most puzzling thing is that recently he always hides and reads alone, or silently looks into the distance.

Asked by Xia Qin, Lu Pingan was silent for a moment.

".That's because I saw a higher landscape."

The boy's blind eyes looked up at the sky.

Above it was the sky of the gods, but in Lu Ping'an's eyes, he seemed to see the wings covering the sky, the fiery and beautiful firebird again.

"Want to become stronger?"

"No, just want to live longer and live better"

Lu Ping'an's answer was as realistic as ever.

In the past, he regarded life as asceticism. Anyway, sooner or later he would reach the end, so why should he care about what is there and what is not.

But now along the way, he is no longer alone.

"Does all life come to an end?"

At least, Lu Pingan didn't think that human civilization would have a chance to see the end of the Firebird.

This time, the biggest harvest was actually harvested shortly after Lu Pingan arrived in this ring world.

He saw the "Firebird" and saw the "higher level" scenery.

".I just know that with my development path, only relying on the normal development method, that kind of solitary hard training, I can at most be a ninth rank, and with luck I can become a tenth rank."

What Lu Pingan said probably could make others laugh, this kind of wild talk should have been in a dream.

Up to the ninth rank quasi-god? If you're lucky, you can reach the tenth rank? Why don't you go to heaven?

"If you do this, can you go far enough? It needs to be so early"

"needs."

Lu Pingan replied affirmatively.

What he needs is not only the resources and sense of security brought by "industry", but also the "order" brought by this rule, and the rules brought by order.

Although it seems to be a cycle, the "logic" can be cycled, which also means that this is a self-consistent "rule", and the rule can become his way.

In words that are easy to explain, Lu Pingan is weaving his own "transaction" rules, and he needs this industry.

"...Can I talk to the higher ups?"

"Of course. I'm grateful for your hesitation."

Simple words, but there are too many contents worthy of scrutiny.

But before leaving, Xia Qin couldn't help asking.

"Really, just to climb higher and live longer?"

Hearing what she said, Lu Pingan laughed. Xia Qin is so big, she looks more like a child than herself.

"There is a better life, not only for us, but for everyone."

The two, conflict? The pursuit of higher power itself will lead to a better life.

Some words are enough to stop. The biggest beneficiaries of the establishment of the company are not even these professionals themselves.

In the past, explorers and professionals worked for themselves, nominally working hard for the country, but self-responsibility for profits and losses is the basic principle. If you die in battle, you will receive some pensions, and even fell into a stalemate due to "disappearance".

But now, a company has been established. Then, even if Lu Ping An dies, someone takes his place, and the company does not collapse, the successors must recognize Lu Ping An's "shares" and give adequate treatment to the second elder who inherits them .

Not only the mid-level and high-level employees who have shares, but also the grassroots employees have a "loyalty" object. Then, the contribution and overtime work need to be recorded. Even if something happens, at least one company will take care of the family.

Lu Ping'an could see these things clearly, but he just didn't bother to talk about them.

He could use it as a result to fool others, but since Xia Qin asked, he gave the real answer.

"...It turns out that this is the path to the highest."

The books that Lu Pingan opened up were taboo knowledge about professions such as Juggler, Red Meteor, and Pale Hand.

Is it just for runners? No, it's not really that simple. He actually completed the fourth-order form of the red meteor long ago, but he hesitated the moment he stepped out.

He could feel that, not just the fourth level, he could step up to a higher level at any time.

Fifth order? Even the sixth level may be just a difference of thought.

He has received a spiritual warning. As far as his current accumulation is concerned, as long as he is determined to break through the fifth level, he will complete the sixth level combination within three months. His accumulation is enough, and he just needs to cash it out.

But if he did, I'm afraid he missed the higher ladder.

Maybe there will be a chance to re-elect in the future, but I am afraid that not only will he have to pay a hundred times, ten thousand times the price, but it is even more likely that he will not wait until his death.

The reality is cruel, sometimes "choice" is far more important than "effort", and Lu Ping'an has to make a choice.

"Is it ever moving? I have to step on the big cat's shoulders to make further progress."
