[Employee count -1]

Ji Jue rolled his eyes, sighing helplessly, as if he could see the numbers floating out from the box.

He turned to look at Lu Feng, not even bothering to ask.

Whatever Lu Feng says, Ji Jue can predict it.

— As soon as I entered the door, it was like this, he accidentally dropped it, our security team is really struggling, then you talk to Water Ghost, we're all living energetically...

Forget it, a broken beef ball is still a beef ball, at least it's still alive.

As long as it works, it's fine.

Fragments have their uses. With so much weight and such a uniformly mixed spiritual meat, it's almost ready for making a spiritual battery. After it's used up, the residue can be used to feed that nest of Fish Scale offspring.

"In life, one must be frugal."

Having completed his grand life project, Ji Jue looked at the results in front of him, exhaled in relief, and sighed emotionally.

Only Isis, who witnessed the entire process cold-eyed, indifferently reminded him: "No, sir, I feel that when you chose to be human, you've already chosen not to be human..."

"Is this some sort of tongue-twister?"

"This is a cold joke written especially for you. It aims to satirize your actions by using the term 'being human' twice with dual meanings, deeply portraying your character and mocking your actions, leaving people amused."

"..." Ji Jue was stunned.

"What's wrong?" Isis curiously asked, "Is it not funny?"

"No, it just feels like this joke is even colder than the last one." Ji Jue was rendered speechless by the coldness, "You might have quite the talent in this area."

Isis replied indifferently: "Thanks for the compliment."

Ji Jue sighed, speechless, let her be, as long as she's happy.

The occasional loss of a few employees is something he's no longer bothered by.

At least it's not like the early startup days where he was so desperate that employees had to be treated like cattle and horses. Nowadays, employees can enjoy salaries and subsidies close to those within the city walls; although not much, it's more than enough to support a family in the wilderness.

This isn't because Ji Jue suddenly developed a conscience, but because the underground park at the Coast has too many free cows and horses!

They're sprouting up like weeds after a rain, especially with so many humanoid creatures in the wilderness. Excluding the extremely wicked ones, there are countless others who need a makeover.

Nowadays, wanting to go on the production line to screw bolts requires careful selection.

Those without special skills or basic education can only engage in heavy labor, working the construction site. Fortunately, Xinquan's demand is significant, in addition to the expansion of the underground park, reconstruction, and extension of structures are also on the agenda.

Ji Jue isn't some Devil. According to his estimates—after about twenty years of non-stop 007-style work, everyone will finally be able to rest.

Everything on Xinquan's surface is brimming with potential, and the underground park structure is getting increasingly complex.

There's the benefit of having a Chosen One; no need to worry about the house collapsing, just find a Ruins to reinforce it and it's done. Moreover, the spiritual circuits and influences extended from the workshop bring everything under control.

If Jian Yuan can create a Zhi Fu park in his own workshop, why can't we Embers do the same?

If word got out, wouldn't it be laughed at?

This is about giving face to Brother Embers; how can one hesitate or shrink back? Brother is never stingy when tipping, so shouldn't this wave be reciprocated fiercely to the top-tier old fellow?

By the way, the underground shelter used by Xinquan residents for refuge was patched up by Ji Jue using an unfinished underground workshop.

Regarding construction quality, those who've used it say good, it's stable and secure, the only downside: it seems a bit haunted.

In the middle of the night, you can faintly hear sobbing and screaming.

But it's okay, living outside the city, everything is about making do; if it can do, it's rated well; if not, just force it to do.

There's a ceiling, a floor, and walls, no leaks and rainproof, and it's free for you to use. Even if there're ghosts, everyone just regards it as having more neighbors, so what?

After experiencing a secretive transaction between friends previously, not only were new industry channels opened up, but the problem of originally increasing and potentially exceeding productivity has been perfectly solved.

Order numbers are increasing.

Sufficient to allow the Coast to digest for quite some time now.

Thriving! Thriving indeed!

The repair shipyard partnered with Desert Market alone is enough to keep Ji Jue busy for quite some time. Plus, there's the collaboration with Northern Realm and Seven Cities, not to mention the Red Country's outstanding payment from Central Earth.

Just today, the first batch of civilian exoskeletons produced at the Coast, specially prepared for heavy laborers, was loaded on a ship and sent to Thousand Islands.

Unfortunately, Ji Jue had just received news that perhaps Pacquiao's death earlier had sparked the pirates' shared resentment, and as soon as they entered the high seas, they were ambushed and retaliated by the Water Ghost, with the entire shipment being robbed!

It's lamentable and infuriating, which made Ji Jue furious, declaring that Xinquan and these outlaws were sworn enemies!

The fortunate part amidst the misfortune is that the cargo ship and staff have returned intact, without suffering any mistreatment, only two bullet holes and some scratches on the ship's side.

Luckily, they returned early; much later and you might not even notice.

To compensate for the loss of time for the client, Director Ji decided to continue fulfilling the contract, promoting the spirit of the agreement, and next week's second batch's delivery quantity will be super doubled!
