Above Destiny

Chapter 434 Prosperity
[Number of employees - 1]

As if he saw numbers floating out of the box, Ji Jue rolled his eyes and sighed helplessly.

He turned around and looked at Lu Feng, not even bothering to ask.

Anyway, he can guess what Lu Feng says.

——He was like this as soon as I entered the door. He fell accidentally. It’s not easy for us in the security team. Then you tell the water ghost that we are all trying our best to live...

Forget it, let it be Beef Ball, at least I’m still alive.

As long as it works, it's fine.

There are different uses for different things. With such a large quantity and such even mixture of spirit and flesh, it can almost be used as a biological spirit battery. After use, the remaining residue can be used to nourish the scales of that evil creature.

"As a human being, you need to be frugal and manage your household well."

After finishing his busy work in the great cause of being a human being, Ji Jue looked at the results in front of him, breathed a sigh of satisfaction and sighed with emotion.

Only Isis, who had witnessed the whole process coldly, reminded him indifferently: "No, sir, I feel that when you choose to be a human being, you have already chosen not to be a human being..."

"Is this some kind of tongue twister?"

"This is a joke written specifically for you. It is intended to satirize your actions. By using the word 'being a human being' twice and with two different meanings, this joke vividly portrays your character and ridicules your actions, which makes people laugh."

"..." Ji Jue was stunned.

"What's wrong?" Isis was curious: "Isn't it funny?"

"No, I just feel that this joke is even more ridiculous than the previous one." Ji Jue was speechless because of the joke: "Maybe you are quite talented in this aspect."

Isis said calmly: "Thank you for the compliment."

Ji Jue sighed, nothing to say. Just let her be as long as she likes it.

The occasional loss of a few employees no longer bothers him.

After all, it is no longer the early days of the business when we had to treat our employees like cattle and horses. Today, our employees can enjoy salaries and subsidies close to those in the city. Although it is not much, it is more than enough to support a family in the wilderness.

This is not because Ji Jue has a change of heart, but there are already too many free cattle and horses in the underground park of the coast!
Just like the ones that grow out of the ground, they pop up after a rain. There are so many anthropomorphic creatures in the wilderness. Apart from those who have committed many evil deeds and deserve to die, there are countless others who need to be transformed.

Until now, those who want to use the screwdrivers on the assembly line have to be carefully selected.

Those who don't have any skills or basic education can only do heavy physical labor on construction sites. Fortunately, the gap in Xinquan's needs is not small. In addition to the expansion of the underground park, the reconstruction and expansion of the building are also on the agenda.

Ji Jue is not a devil. According to his estimation, after working in this non-stop 007 style for about 20 years, everyone can have a good rest.

Today, everything on the ground in Xinquan has been rebuilt, and the underground park structure is becoming increasingly complex.

The good thing about having a chosen one is that you don't have to worry about the house collapsing. You can just find a ruin to reinforce it and it's done. What's more, there are spiritual circuits and influences extending from the workshop, so everything is under control.

Jianyuan can build a decay park in his own workshop, so why can't we Yujin do it?

Wouldn't people laugh at you if this gets out?

This is a matter of saving face for Big Brother Yu Jin, how can we hesitate and back down? Big Brother is never soft-hearted when it comes to giving rewards, so this time we have to give back to the old man who is number one on the list, right?
By the way, the underground shelter used by Xinquan residents before was built by Ji Jue using an underground workshop that had not yet been renovated.

As for the construction quality, people who have used it say it is good, sturdy, stable and safe. The only drawback is that it seems a bit haunted.

When I fell asleep in the middle of the night, I could always vaguely hear someone crying and screaming.

But it doesn't matter. When we live outside the city, we just have to make do with everything. If we can make do, we'll give it a thumbs up. If we can't, we'll just have to make do with it.

There is a ceiling, a floor and walls. It is windproof and rainproof and you can use it for free. Even if there really is a ghost, you are just neighbors. Why would there be so much trouble?
After a series of unknown transactions with friends, not only new industrial channels were opened up, but the problem of overcapacity due to increasing production capacity was also successfully solved.

The number of orders is increasing.

Enough for today's coast to digest for a long time.

It's getting better and better! It's getting better and better.

The shipyard in cooperation with Huangji alone is enough to keep Ji Jue busy for a long time, and there is also the cooperation with the North Border and the Seven Cities, as well as the final payment from the Red State in Middle-earth.

Just today, the first batch of civilian exoskeletons produced by Coast, specially prepared for heavy manual laborers, has been shipped to the Thousand Islands.

Unfortunately, Ji Jue just received the news that perhaps Pacquiao’s death had aroused the pirates’ hatred of a common enemy. As soon as they entered the high seas, they were robbed and retaliated by sea ghosts, and the entire batch of goods was hijacked!
It was so hateful and lamentable that Ji Jue was furious and said that Xinquan and this group of criminals could not coexist!
Fortunately, the cargo ship and the crew returned intact without suffering any abuse, except for two bullet holes and a few scratches on the side of the ship.

Fortunately I came back early. If it was later, I wouldn't have been able to see it.

In order to compensate Party A for the time loss, Director Ji decided to continue to perform the contract, carry forward the spirit of contract, and super-double the delivery quantity of the second batch next week!
It's impossible to be targeted by a water ghost again, right?
Then there's nothing I can do.

Before that, a batch of strange accessories and parts that looked incompatible with civilian equipment had arrived in Middle-earth through Chen Xingzhou's route and Huangji's channel.

As for what these things are used for, Coast is just a OEM factory, how could it possibly care so much?
If you insist on assembling it this way or that and then use a machine to cut a few rifling grooves, then apart from protesting seriously and reserving the right to sue, we can't do anything about it, right?

And just after all the settlements in Haizhou were cleared out during these days, and all the water ghosts who dared to come ashore were killed, before the rainy season was over, the news of the coastal industry was once again delivered to everyone.

This time, it was not some horrifying bad news or a strong and rude order, but just a notice: in order to facilitate the transportation of goods and products, give back to consumers, and facilitate various settlements in the wilderness, Coast Industries' wholly-owned subsidiary - Messenger Logistics officially opened for business.

In addition to delivering goods, the main business also provides convenient online shopping for various settlements.

In addition to being able to place orders on the official website, thick product catalogs are delivered to every settlement. In addition to Coast's own products, they also include many products in the city, including daily necessities, medical supplies, vegetables and fruits.

Although the quality is not very good, it is definitely worth its price.

Simply call the 24-hour hotline above to place your order, and a deliveryman wearing a striking red uniform and riding a small Coast tricycle will come to your door the next day, or at the latest three days, to deliver the goods.

In addition, while recruiting deliverymen, another business is about to be launched, which is the "cross-city express delivery" which is more convenient and cheaper than the fleet, and mainly focuses on suburbs to suburbs.

Currently, only the two central cities of Chaocheng and Yacheng are connected, and in the future, small cities such as Jiangcheng and Chuancheng will also be included to realize a low-cost logistics network throughout Haizhou.

Although the express delivery fee is still not cheap, it is at least much more convenient and cheaper than large fleets and airships, and the main products are cheap handicrafts, small commodities, and miscellaneous letters.

As for losing something, there is no need to worry.

In the past, no one could do this business because the anthropomorphic ecology in the wilderness was really untrustworthy. But now, in the Haizhou wilderness, there is no credit guarantee stronger than the brand of Coastal Industry.

In case of any loss or damage, Courier Logistics will compensate according to the agreed amount.

As for competitors who want to stir up trouble or junk guys who ignore the rules and want to take the opportunity to make some extra money... then you'd better escape the eyes of Ether.

Given the relationship between Ji Jue and the Tong family, it would certainly be no problem to hire a few Ether Chosen Ones to take a look regularly.

He doesn't care whether it is profitable or not, as long as he doesn't lose too much.

When Gou Er proposed this concept and idea at the meeting, Ji Jue adopted it without hesitation and gave him full authority to implement it, as there happened to be such a large amount of working capital that had nowhere to go.

It's a good opportunity to hook up with the Tong family and the Lou family, and we can all do big things together!
The amount of profit is secondary. The key is a stable wilderness, which has the possibility of development.

Although spring cleaning is refreshing, if left unattended, new poisonous and evil consequences will surely emerge from the wilderness again. It would be better to give a new choice to those who are restricted by conditions and cannot survive without doing evil.

It is tiring and painful, but is it more tiring than waiting for the convoy to arrive with an empty stomach, red eyes and a gun in hand to die? Is it more painful than going into a mine and risking your life?
Anyway, I have plenty of tricycles, and the opportunity is right in front of you. It's up to you whether you want to live with your head held high or indulge in depravity.

At the same time, through the existence of courier logistics, the influence of coastal industry in the wilderness can be gradually improved, making this pool of mud a little better...

why not?

As for what the future will be like, it is really hard to say. Anyway, it doesn’t matter if it succeeds or not. This kind of project takes a long time to prepare. Ji Jue doesn’t have the energy to watch it every day, so he left it all to Gou Er to push forward.

That afternoon, the North Wind Workshop's ship arrived at Xinquan, and the apprentice who came to run errands brought back Pacquiao's soul after it was used up, and also brought back some news from the Seven Cities.

Each one is more exaggerated than the other, such as how a chief culprit died in seven cities, how the colonel had foresight and decisiveness to capture the bandit leader, and how the seven cities united to defend against water demons, making them terrified.

It seems that the family of Lu Feng's friend has already started to build momentum. If everything goes well, a young general will take office in the Seven Cities Joint Defense Navy Fleet by the end of the year at the earliest.

Lu Feng dared to bet that this was definitely the most cost-effective time his grandson had ever called him grandpa. In comparison, what was more concerning was the ambiguous position of the Seven Cities Alliance when the northern cities called for support. It could only be said that they provided vocal support... It was unknown what kind of deal was reached with the northern border. It seemed that Huang Xu's trip was not in vain.

Another day passed and Luoye brought news.

In the distant Yacheng, the Tong family called...

Your goods have arrived. When can you come to pick them up?
Chunjun’s last piece of puzzle—[Seeing the Simplicity and Embracing the Purity]—is now in hand!

Ji Jue was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. He went to the door at dawn with two chickens... For some reason, he didn't see the old grandfather, and it was Tong Ting who came out to receive him.

When Tong Ting saw the two chickens in his hands, his expression became even more numb.

There is always a sense of PTSD tension.

Last time you brought a chicken here, and you ate it, took it, and made a reservation, and that involved so much trouble. This time you brought a chicken here again, but you don't really want to kill Xu Chaoxian, do you?

"We are all so familiar with each other now. Next time you come over, just...don't be so formal."

Tong Ting looked down at the chicken in his hand and sighed softly: "It's not easy to raise a chicken either."

How can such a big thing be handled by such a small body?

This time, there was no pretending to make tea or chatting. Before Ji Jue could even sit down, the blessing was stuffed into his hands without even mentioning money.

We are so familiar with each other, why should we be so formal?

Although it is rare to be simple and honest, it is not a big deal for the Tong family, as favors are accumulated through interactions.

Moreover, the old grandfather seemed to be very optimistic about Courier Logistics. Tong Shengnian directly accepted the shares that Ji Jue sent over, and in addition to the Tong family’s own channels, he also made an additional investment.

The same went for the Lou family, who also helped Ji Jue clean up a lot of the aftermath.

After all, these days, there are many talented people, and people with potential are not rare either. However, people who have talent and potential and are willing to take the initiative to deal with the garbage dump and solve everyone's troubles, and who can also carve out a market from the garbage dump, are very rare.

The more stable Haizhou is, the more comfortable and relaxed everyone will be, and the more money they can make.

Who doesn’t like clean money?
When he returned to his studio from Tong's house, Ji Jue finally took a look at the blessing in his hand.

In the amber-like crystal, a simple trace like an ink mark is constantly winding and changing. However, no matter how it changes, it is always filled with an almost indescribable simple beauty.

At first glance, all you can feel is purity.

The effect of [seeing simplicity and embracing simplicity] is to remove all decorations and embellishments, erase all interference and distortion, and return to the essence of the object as much as possible.

When used on external objects, one can gain insight into their original appearance and state.
If used on oneself, it can correct deviations and eliminate distracting thoughts. At the same time, it can easily find traces of curses or heart interference. Even the smallest symptom cannot escape its power.

Unfortunately, it will clean up both negative and positive effects without any distinction or bias.

This is its most precious aspect.

As long as it exists, the chosen one will not lose his or her original appearance and will always be able to grasp his or her own changes in the most objective way.

You must know that the way of ether is complicated. The more you see, hear, and perceive, the easier it is to lose yourself.

It’s like when ordinary people are used to seeing the scenes of extravagance and debauchery, they will unconsciously spend money lavishly; when they are used to seeing all kinds of large-value digital transfers in the bank, they will think that hundreds or thousands of dollars are just small money; after eating too much fruit plate in KTV, they will want to change a batch when they see people queuing; after playing a certain mobile game too much, they will feel too poor when they see G...

People's thoughts and ideas will change unconsciously.

At the same time, they are often influenced by the external environment without realizing it.

For other Chosen Ones, it is just a change of concept, but for Ether, this kind of change that accumulates over time and is not noticed by the ether is often fatal, and it may even cause the ether to go astray, lose its own position, and develop delirium and hallucinations.

I've seen so much.

Whether it is the name, view or explanation, it all needs to start from the perspective of the chosen one himself. If there is a shift or even contradiction in one's own position, then being able to see hallucinations is a good thing. If one really sees something messy, then there is no way to save it.

Filth is invisible and silent.

Just like foreshadowing.

The great sin corresponding to this ether is hidden in every tiny change that accumulates over time, and when you notice distortion and contradiction emerging from your heart, it is too late.

Low-level ether can see the truth, but high-level ether can weave reality.

More than a hundred years ago, an empire's Ether Celestial Being was corrupted for seven years, and no one even noticed.

All the people in the whole city fell into the "book" and became characters, but they just walked into it without thinking there was anything wrong.

For seven years, everyone in the city, regardless of gender, age, or even cats and dogs, seemed to be living in novels, movies, and animations.

Love, workplace, campus, murder, suspense, horror and even fantasy, they play different supporting and leading roles in different themes, evolving in cycles, and finally when countless contradictions overlap and erupt, in the midst of hysterical madness, the final climax is reached.

Countless corpses covered every inch of the city. Only the protagonist finally walked out of the city gate. Looking back on the past, it felt like a nightmare with no end.

But when he turned around, he could no longer see any trace of the past behind him.

Even now, this disaster of writers still continues to appear in the world, continuing the fragments, and disappearing without a trace after one night, taking with it the continued story.

The details were so horrifying that Ji Jue felt creepy just by looking at them.

If not for the fact that every disaster involving a writer would inevitably leave behind a protagonist who witnessed the entire process, perhaps no one would have been able to detect its existence until now.

What’s even more terrifying is that the evil-doer in heaven was also blessed by Jiansu Baopu…

If the blessing of the Supreme Being is truly omnipotent, how could great evil exist?

Expecting blessings to solve all problems is a true fantasy.

However, this effect is real.

Seeing Su Baopu in his hand at this moment, even without spiritual communication, Ji Jue felt a sense of peace and tranquility in his heart. All the things he had done in the past few days suddenly came to his mind and flowed through his mind like water.

It’s like returning to the original state and true heart.

After looking at everything I have done from the most objective perspective, I will find that... I have wasted so much material without realizing it?!

I won’t talk about the other trivial things. I already have the inherited burnt offerings of the fungus and scar in my hands. With so many dead water ghosts and garbage, why not sacrifice them in exchange for materials?
I still feel guilty about it!
Ji Jue immediately beat his chest and stamped his feet, feeling heartbroken.

He has already decided that he will play with this thing for a while before Chunjun comes out.

I examine myself three times a day!

Fortunately, before it was his turn to go to the second province, he received news from Ye Chun.

The teacher is finally done!
After receiving the news, Ji Jue stood up without hesitation and ran straight to the tide, racing against time.

These days, he was almost going crazy.

There are too many questions with no answers.

I finally waited until the teacher had time, so I have to hurry up and make the most of it!

So, five minutes later, it was Ye Xian's turn to come out of the workshop after finally finishing his work. He fell silent even before taking a break.

In the dead silence, Ye Xian held the teacup and quietly looked at the shy Ji Jue on the other side of the table.

Suddenly I wanted to pry open the skull of this dog and take a look...

——I have only been studying this for a month, how did you come up with so many problems? !
