The Leisurely Life of a Young Man in the World of Cultivation

Just when he thought the matter could be resolved satisfactorily, he was stunned upon arriving at Wang Mang's appliance factory.

"Holy crap, where's the person working in such a huge factory?"

That's right. Once inside the factory, there wasn't a bustling work atmosphere at all, not even a soul in sight.

At this moment, Wang Mang, who had heard the noise, also came out from inside. Upon seeing Lu Changfeng, he was overjoyed.

"Hey, Brother Lu, you're here!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changfeng pointed to the surrounding environment and asked,

"Wang Mang, what's going on? Didn't I see many people working in your factory just now?"

"Why is there nobody here now!"

After hearing his words, Wang Mang also started to complain.

"Hey, this is pretty normal in today's world!"

"Why do people work? Of course, it's to get spirit stones so they can cultivate faster!"

"But look at how the mountains and fields are now covered with spiritual plants! Just a handful of them would be enough for Qi Refining stage cultivation!"

"Thankfully, consuming it directly is quite harmful; otherwise, what a waste of being an alchemist!"

Hearing him say that, Lu Changfeng couldn't help but laugh.

"Good heavens, it really is!"

"So, your factory is shut down?"

Wang Mang immediately smiled and shook his head.

"No, I signed a 20-year contract with Luoyun Shopping Mall!"

"We can't just stop production like that! But I've already revamped the assembly line; the machines we produce in just six months will be enough for a whole year's worth of orders, with some left over!"

"But I'm researching something else right now!"

With a mysterious air, he led him to the laboratory. As the curtain was drawn back, Lu Changfeng was immediately stunned by Wang Mang's new work.

A humanoid object exuding a metallic sheen stood quietly in the laboratory.

Although there is no face or anything like that, the legs and hands are very well recreated.

So the moment Lu Changfeng saw this thing, he couldn't help but blurt out,

"Holy crap, a robot? No, a puppet?"

Although Wang Mang didn't understand what a robot was, he understood the word "puppet," so he nodded smugly.

"That's right. Six months ago, after noticing changes in the external environment, I decided to research something that could replace human labor!"

"Fortunately, after searching, the puppeteer's lineage caught my attention!"

"And this is the result of my modifications."

However, he paused for a moment, then sighed.

"Unfortunately, although puppets can move freely, they still need someone to control them!"

"But if someone is controlling it, then why should I even bother researching this puppet!"

"So this is still a work in progress!"

"Brother Lu, you're quick-witted, do you have any solutions?"

As he spoke, Wang Mang looked over with anticipation.

Seeing his expression, Lu Changfeng immediately understood the kid's plan.

Lu Changfeng said that even a semi-finished fully automatic alchemy furnace had a market, so this semi-finished puppet should be able to do the same!

"Tsk tsk tsk, Wang Mang, you little rascal!"

"Never mind, let me think about it!"

When it comes to puppets, the first thing that comes to mind is the partner route.

This job pays way more than being an assembly line worker!

If it had even a little bit of intelligence, he couldn't even imagine how popular it would have been in his previous life.

The feeling of having a silly, clumsy, half-understanding, straightforward, and somewhat stubborn robot that executes your commands is unbeatable.

Although he had the idea of ​​using robots from his previous life as a reference, puppets and robots are completely different, so he wasn't really sure if this thing could be used on puppets.

He immediately used his divine sense to scan the puppet in front of him.

Before long, he saw a sphere on the puppet's chest, which was the only thing that allowed the puppet to be controlled.

But why does this puppet's heart feel so old?

Unexpectedly, when I asked Wang Mang, I found out that he was just a Qi Refining stage cultivator. How could he possibly research such a high-level thing as a puppet?

So they acquired some discarded puppet hearts, which is how they managed to create this metal-based creature.

Lu Changfeng was speechless after hearing this.

Good heavens, I thought this kid was a genius who could invent a puppet, but it turns out he's just taking shortcuts!

But that's still pretty awesome!

But this puppet heart gave him inspiration!

"Wang Mang, could you make a change to this 'Puppet Heart'?"

"After the changes, these puppets will perform some fixed actions!"

"This is a simple matter; we'll figure out a way to connect them later. One puppet heart can control several puppets!"

"It's like cooking; one person washes the vegetables, and another stir-fries them, so you can make a lot of meals quickly!"

Anyway, I'll give him a suggestion, and with Wang Mang's brains, I reckon he'll be able to start updating and iterating very soon.

If we bring over a few robots then, wow, even a god couldn't change that scene!

Upon hearing this, Wang Mang immediately began to ponder, and after a moment, his eyes lit up.

"That actually works, but it requires extremely precise coordination!"

"But it's a piece of cake for me!"

Then he looked at Lu Changfeng with a puzzled expression.

"By the way, Brother Lu, what did you want to see me about after all this time?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changfeng, looking helpless, explained the matter of cooperating on the pills. After listening, Wang Mang immediately made the decision.

Anyway, his fully automatic alchemy furnace doesn't require many people; it only needs to be fed with the relevant spiritual plants to directly produce semi-finished spiritual liquid.

This spiritual liquid has been very popular among novice alchemists since it appeared. However, given the current environment, those with the ability don't want to get involved, and those without the ability can't get involved.

These newbies need to practice anyway, so it doesn't matter who they sell the practice pills to!

So the two sides cooperated again, and with a sufficient supply of pills, the market's business finally recovered considerably.

However, compared to before, there are indeed far fewer.

However, Lu Changfeng himself was quite satisfied, after all, he had already tried his best, and if any problems arose, it would have nothing to do with him.

March has arrived in the blink of an eye, and the outside temperature is becoming increasingly suitable for outdoor activities.

Early in the morning, he had planned to go fishing and take Zhen Ji out for some fun, and let her meet her compatriots.

Before he was even fully awake, a sound came from outside the small building.

"Is anyone home?"

"I'm here to rent a room!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changfeng immediately perked up.

"Holy crap, someone wants to rent a room?"

You see, I've owned this house for several years now, but the outer sect of the Heavenly Star Sect covers a vast area, so there are plenty of houses available. Therefore, I never expected to be able to rent it out in the last ten years.

I didn't expect anyone to come so early in the morning.

He wouldn't get up if it were anyone else, but if it were a tenant, he'd have to check to see what was going on.

He immediately put on his clothes and went outside.

As soon as I came out, I saw a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old standing here with a little girl of about four or five years old.

Looking at this strange combination, Lu Changfeng was puzzled.

"So you're the ones who want to rent my house?"
