Chapter 169 Even the distribution

Lu Li's eyes lit up when he saw this task, because he had heard the prompt sounds coming from the End Space.

[You have completed the side quest. Become famous on the sea. The first phase of rewards has been issued...]

[You have completed the side quest. Become famous on the sea. The second phase of rewards has been issued...]

[You have completed the side quest. Become famous on the sea. The third stage reward has been issued...]

……

The continuous reminder sounds and the rewards that appeared in his storage space made Lu Li feel overwhelmed with happiness.

This task is settled in stages, a bit like the achievement chain tasks in the game. You can claim them one by one after you have fulfilled them.

Lu Li’s current bounty is 790 million Baileys, which means that the most he can get is a random devil fruit treasure chest reward, and the previous rewards have also been distributed.

He never thought that just by looking at the wanted poster, he would instantly gain 4 End of the World Coins, 6 inheritance crystals, and free attribute points, as well as a special title and a random devil fruit treasure chest.

Except for the title which needs to be finalized after the return, all other rewards are directly credited to the account. Lu Li can't wait to open the devil fruit treasure chest.

With his luck having doubled now, he might even be able to encounter a mythical beast!
"Good job. You can go down first and report to me on the progress of the reservoir construction in the evening."

Lu Li waved his hand to let Fu Lu Shou go down, and he took out the treasure chest in the room.

He was not worried about others seeing this thing. People in the derivative world of the space-exclusive treasure chest could not see it. At most, they could only see Lu Li groping in the air.

Lu Li rubbed his hands in anticipation, then opened the treasure chest.

[You have obtained the Parahuman Dark Fruit]

When Lu Li first saw the word "dark", he was excited for a moment, but when he took a closer look and found that it was from the Superman series, his excitement immediately disappeared.

He took a quick look at the details of the fruit. The Devil Fruit series are all epic bloodline items, which provide certain direct benefits after eating, but the benefits of this Hidden Fruit are not much.

At first glance, its abilities seem ordinary. After eating it, one can become invisible in darker places, but will become visible if found by strong light. It feels like a lower-level ability of the transparent fruit.

However, the power of the devil fruit still depends on its development. No one knows what new powerful abilities it will have after awakening. The basic ability of the Dark Fruit is also quite suitable for assassin-type explorers. Lu Li feels that it is at least a fruit that can be sold.

“Not very good…”

Lu Li sighed. Although this fruit was not so unpopular that no one wanted it, it was obviously not as powerful as the ancient Tyrannosaurus Rex fruit that Kaido gave him, so it probably could not be sold at a high price.

Whether it can be sold for money is secondary. He was originally thinking whether he could be lucky enough to get an awesome mythical beast species, so that he could consider eating it directly to enhance the combat power in some worlds and gain more benefits.

Although he failed to produce the devil fruit he desired, Lu Li's mood improved when he saw the report on the table.

Now, all fields in Wano Country are on the right track. The Barbarian King has built rivers connecting factories across the country, which has preliminarily solved the problem of domestic environmental pollution. The built factories have been put into use, and the employment problems of a large number of unemployed vagrants have been solved.

Under Lu Li's suggestion, the country's central reservoir is being built in full swing. The power of the Barbarian Tyrant is really not to be underestimated. He is simply a ruthless construction machine.

The ancient giants were often tens of meters tall, and their work was truly powerful. In just over half a month, the prototype of the reservoir was already completed.

After that, we just need to use the power of the Stone-Stone Fruit to build the dams, and this big project can be completed.

Speaking of Pica, this cadre of the Don Quixote family is now working in Wano Country with fear and trepidation.

The pirates' ability to keep secrets of intelligence is really average. Not long after Lu Li said in the meeting that the Devil Fruit Factory would be abolished, Pica Nine found out about it.

So he has always been worried that his boss would be liquidated by Kaido, and as a family cadre, he is in Kaido's base camp, so it would be difficult for him to escape no matter how he thinks about it.

But after a few weeks, Lu Li just asked him to work and had no intention of doing anything to him, which made him even more uneasy, and he always felt that Kaido was holding back.

But no matter how worried Pica is, he cannot control the overall situation. In the New World, he may be considered a strong man with decent strength, but in front of the Beasts Pirates, he is too ordinary.

Any of the big bosses could kill him in seconds, so he could only work honestly for now.

What does Kaido actually think of Doflamingo?

After the meeting that day, Kaido was furious and drank a lot of alcohol. If King hadn't stopped him, he would have flown away to settle the score with Doflamingo.

In the end, Lu Li met Kaido the next day and persuaded Kaido to stop, making him understand that now was not the time to turn against him.

Doflamingo is a mean guy, but he is still useful to the Beasts Pirates. They just don't do the devil fruit business anymore. Even if they have been cheated, killing Doflamingo now will not help. It is better to scare him and continue to use his connections to do business.

Apart from anything else, the products of the weapons factory and the seastone factory in Wano Country still need Doflamingo to distribute, so now is not the time to tear down the bridge. Kaido calmed down and figured out the matter, so although he was very unhappy with Doflamingo, he had no intention of killing him for the time being.

Of course Lu Li would not tell Pica about these inside stories. Doflamingo's family was very brutal in their country. Lu Li did not have the energy to deal with these people for the time being, but it was okay to scare them.

Thanks to the power of the ancient giant and the Stone-Stone Fruit, the reservoir is changing every day and is expected to be completed by the end of this month.

At the same time, Lu Li did not let the remaining citizens in Wano country idle, but sent those who still had no proper jobs to engage in real estate infrastructure.

The early stage construction of the reservoir mainly depended on digging, so there was no need for stone fruits. During that time, Lu Li did not let the labor force idle, but asked Pika to build a new city. In addition, he also asked him to build a large number of houses in various villages.

Of course, Pica's abilities are greatly limited. Without the support of a steel structure, the buildings he builds are not stable enough. Therefore, he can only build houses with a few floors, and cannot build high-rise buildings, otherwise they will easily collapse during an earthquake.

Therefore, Lu Li asked Pica to build a new city with low buildings, planned commercial areas, and a small number of residences, preparing to make this new city a commercial gathering place for Wano Country in the future.

The houses in other towns are all residential houses, and Lu Li will make reasonable allocations for them later.

Since Pica can only build a rough draft, the details inside the house still need to be polished, which requires a lot of labor, and the configuration of basic furniture is also a huge project.

Lu Li gathered those who had little craftsmanship to do the rough work, and asked those who had certain skills to polish the details of the house and make basic furniture.

The largest type of house he asked Pica to build was a small or medium-sized apartment with three bedrooms and a living room of 90 square meters, with two beds in each room.

Those involved in building the houses were initially curious, not knowing what they would be used for or how much they would cost if they were to be sold.

But when Lu Li released the news yesterday, the people of Wano Country were excited.

Lu Li stated in the public notice that all workers working in the factory can be allocated a house for free. They will have the right to live in the house but not the right to buy or sell it.

So, overnight, the workers in the Wano Country factory were transformed into "superior people"

Originally, many people in Huadu thought that working in a factory was hard labor and dirty work that was not worthy of being displayed in public, but now they are all moved.

Because Lu Li gave so much, high salary, high benefits, and even guaranteed housing!
The people of the country have all seen those newly built houses. Unlike the wooden houses they live in now, the stone houses have better thermal insulation and sealing properties, are more solid, and have excellent fire resistance, which is much better than the dilapidated wooden houses they live in now.

Moreover, the area of ​​each of the newly built houses is not small. It is said that some of the larger and more comfortable houses will be allocated to the factory management and technicians.

Now the people of Wano Country couldn't help it and signed up to join the factory one after another. But at this time, they suddenly found that the factory's recruitment quota was limited, and they also had very high requirements for the workers.

If you don’t have the corresponding factory technology, we won’t accept you at all.

Want to work in a weapons factory? Do you know what a machine tool is? Do you understand the process of steel processing? Why should I hire you if you don't know anything?
Just when the people of Wano were worrying about how to learn those skills, Lu Li pointed out a clear way for them.

The newly built technical college next to the new city has started operations. It currently has two majors, one is weapons manufacturing, and the other is seastone processing.

Well, it's very rough. In fact, Lu Li felt that if he replaced it with someone smart and knowledgeable in management, the weapon manufacturing alone could be subdivided into more than a dozen specialties, but he didn't have that brain, so he could only roughly create a specialty and let the old master teach it.

After tasting the sweetness of the factory's profits, Kaido doesn't care about the weird things Lu Li is making now. He is a hands-off boss and trusts him completely.

When the new school opened for enrollment, a large number of people immediately came to sign up. Even though the college charged tuition, there was a constant stream of people coming to inquire about registration.

Although it is said to be a fee, the tuition fee set by Lu Li is not that high. The three-month training includes all the courses for each major in this academy, and the tuition fee is 7 silver coins. As long as they can successfully graduate and get a job in the factory, they can earn back this money in a month.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have money. The college provides academic loan services. If you feel you can’t learn within one month, you can get a full refund. If you successfully graduate and get a job in a factory, you can repay the loan in installments later.

To be honest, Lu Li has lowered the threshold for learning to an extremely low level, basically non-existent. Even a homeless person on the street can come and learn. If it were the previous Kaido, he might feel that he was at a loss.

But in fact, Lu Li's collection of tuition fees is not for making money, but just to cultivate the "habit" of the people of Hezhi.

We can’t let these people think that all the services provided by the Beasts Pirates are taken for granted, and we can’t let them make money so easily. Otherwise, over time, it will be easy for the workers to become lazy and work negatively.

In short, the people of Wano Country must feel that the identity of a worker is a rare and honorable one, and they must rely on self-discipline and hard work to get a job in a factory. In this way, they will study harder in college and work harder after entering the factory.

Lu Li, who came from the cyber society, doesn't like an overly competitive society. However, a society without any competition would not work either, because productivity would stagnate and all fields would not be able to develop.

Time passed slowly. After more than half a month, the first batch of houses was finally completed and it was time to hand over the houses.

Lu Li had just completed the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the completion of the reservoir yesterday. Originally, this job should have been done by Yamato, but Yamato went to a remote area to visit the villagers and could not come back for a while, so he used Den Den Mushi to send a message to ask him to help.

When everything was on track and Lu Li's reputation in Wano Country and with the Beasts Pirates was at its peak, Lu Li decided to give Kaido a new suggestion.

Once he has done this, he can consider his next plan in this world.
