"Have a safe trip."
"Have a safe trip."
A simple greeting is both a farewell and a blessing.
The road home, no matter how long it is, is also short.
People who chose to go home walked faster and faster, subconsciously speeding up their pace, even though they knew it was meaningless.
No matter how fast you go, you still have to wait for the moment when the boat leaves.
And the time spent on the road, no matter how short it is, is still long.
"Will it take another month to go back..."
"It's a bit too long. It would be nice to do something along the way."
"Rest, take a good rest. This time, I've had enough..."
Tiredness, helplessness and even pain all came to me at this time. It seemed that this journey home was destined to be unbearable.
Among the group of figures who were either confused or tired, Lu Pingping and his party stood out.
In addition to being greeted proactively in most cases, they are all obviously in a state of excitement...
"I should have stopped my losses in time..."
"You should have stopped me..."
"Haha, I've made a lot of money this time."
People's joys and sorrows are always different, but obviously, most people in the team have chosen to take the last gamble, and the excitement has not passed yet.
And most people still have a smile on their lips even if they complain. No matter what, even the guaranteed "sublimation of quasi-pollutant items" makes a lot of money.
Only Xue En, while chewing bamboo, was unusually "calm"... so calm that it made people wonder if there was something wrong with him. After all, he was the only unlucky person who failed to even "upgrade quasi-pollutant items". Egg.
"Me? I'm used to it..."
When someone asked, his calmness made people feel sad.
"...Think on the bright side. I'm unlucky now. Doesn't this mean we have a safe journey?"
Shrugging, the strong Pandaren took out another dry bamboo, and the stick became crispy.
He was really used to it, and in a sense, the daily "bad luck" made him feel more at ease.
Especially since he had been lucky twice in a row before and obtained the experience of "Pandaren" and "Large-scale Killing of Law Order Powerful", it made him a little uneasy.
"It's good to be unlucky."
Now, even Lu Ping'an can't be found.
"Aren't you sorry? If you leave this world, the spinning power stone weapon..."
"Weapon? Does it mean anything to me? As long as there is a chance that the weapon will have problems, it will either self-destruct or jam at the critical moment. If it can really work normally, it will often be an opponent that the weapon cannot handle at all..."
Xue En raised his hands, and the two gloves on them were impressive.
When they first met, he appeared in front of Lu Ping'an as a "boxer". Probably, only fists could help him stably.
"...What can really help me is probably my personal strength that cannot be easily erased. My progress is already fast enough, so there is no rush."
Xue En, who had always seemed very straight, now looked at the future with a somewhat leisurely and penetrating look.
"That's right, meow, don't be impatient! The stronger Brother Xue is, the greater the bad luck that will kill him will be!"
At this time, Maomao said his "heartfelt words".
Lu Pingan was a little surprised. This was not the stupid cat he was familiar with. Her thinking circuit could actually change.
"That's what everyone says, meow."
It turns out that it was just a communication.
It seemed that Maomao, who had his hands on his hips, showed no malice at all, and Xue En, who showed a helpless smile, Lu Ping'an could only shrug.
Behind them, all the companions looked around, pretending not to know. It seemed that it was not just one or two people who said this in private.
But to be honest, this team is pretty good and can accommodate Xue En's strengths and weaknesses... Perhaps it's also because of the confidence that no matter what happens, someone will be able to stand up and tell the truth.
"No matter what, it's enough to be able to come back safely..."
I don't know who said this, but everyone nodded.
This time, it was considered a failure in all aspects. If it weren't for the sudden rise of Lu Ping'an and his team, I'm afraid there wouldn't be many survivors even if there were later.
Most people will die in foreign lands and become a data and a name for the disputes and lawsuits between the Dongguo people and the Os people in the homeland... What the outcome will be after the incident is no longer important to the unlucky guy who has died. So important, the most we can do is comfort the relatives of those who died.
Along the way, the words "Have a safe journey" may not only be a blessing, but also a kind of gratitude when facing specific people.
"Have a safe journey" Lu Ping'an is no longer famous in the ancient city.
He fulfilled his promise and brought most of the people home...
"By the way, is there no problem with our stuff?" Obviously, someone is worried about the safety of their "goods."
"...It's not a big problem, but some people are going to have big problems."
Lu Ping'an was very calm.
He actually knew well that "smuggling" and the like had always happened, more or less.
Now it's like the "privateers" in the Age of Discovery, fighting with their heads in their belts. If your system is too strict and your taxes are too heavy, you may have big problems.
Just like this time, in fact, many professionals not only gained nothing when they returned, but also lost friends and comrades.
If you force them to pay taxes at this time...even if you only take out part of the ore, something will happen.
Lu Ping'an estimates that the tax system will definitely need to be adjusted in the future.
When this system starts to work, it is inevitable to turn a blind eye... Of course, at this stage, Lu Ping An cannot do too much, and he also hopes that the "confidentiality contract" can help him less. trouble.
"Other people's trouble?"
Lu Ping'an didn't do too much this time. At least he took out some of the goods and put them in the container.
"...You mean the difference between 'finished product' and 'material'?"
"Well, that's it. What we harvested in Silent Mountains and other places were basically finished products. It's easy to say, but anyway, it's basically robbing... ahem, it comes from trading and harvesting. It just needs to be taxed according to the estimated value. , this time the green planet only has materials, and everyone uses the materials to make finished products, so how to calculate the consumption? "
Now, everyone understands... how to calculate the "handicraft fee" and "ceremony fee" for the finished product.
Using a rough calculation, if the value of a finished product is 10, in order to upgrade its materials into weapons, you need to find a craftsman. The craftsman also needs to provide auxiliary materials, which may account for 20 to 30% of the cost.
Next, there is basically no low-consumption method to weaponize pollution or even taboo items. The final finished product is worth 10, and it is possible for professionals to pay 5/6 to obtain it.
At this time, you are imposing a high tax of 2/3, or a hard tax on the price of a single product... Do you think these "strong men" are working for free?
Those who have purchased services from Lu Ping An are even more troublesome. The "cost" they paid is difficult to calculate, and they paid a lot for the powerful forbidden weapons... ..If you ask them to pay a high proportion of the "loots", they will definitely not do it.
This matter is quite troublesome to deal with.
Of course it can do things according to the rules, but if it fails, it will mutiny on the spot. Even if it is suppressed, no one will be willing to work for the government next time.
You know, most of the elite explorers who came this time came in response to the official call.
"Lu Ping'an, what would you do if it were you?"
At this time, a nearby veteran asked casually.
"Me?" Lu Pingan was a little surprised, what does this have to do with him.
But the next moment, he suddenly understood.
Among the three giants, Captain Qian from the military stayed on the Green Planet, Wang Xier now had a subtle identity, and Lu Ping'an had really become the "official" representative.
This seemingly light sentence actually accidentally put Lu Ping'an on fire.
If he leans toward the government, he will naturally offend these explorers. If he leans toward people like himself, it will be tantamount to taking the lead in "forcing the palace" against the government.
At this time, as a "leader", his opinion is actually quite important.
He noticed that there was silence around him, and many people were paying attention here, waiting for him to speak.
If you can't say it well in one sentence, it might lead to a big wave of rhythm.
Lu Pingan touched his chin, it was really hard to say.
Director Fang Yunyun, who had an official background, looked at Lu Ping'an quickly and signaled Lu Ping'an not to say anything.
At this time, it is wisest not to say anything. It is up to the government to make decisions. If you set the pace and arouse other people's emotions, it will be uncomfortable no matter how you deal with it. In the end, it will definitely hate you.
At this moment, Lu Pingan smiled happily.
After taking a look at the people around him, he already had an answer, didn't he?
"Of course I hope it will be completely tax-free. This time everyone is so miserable and they have to pay taxes and be sucked out of their blood, so who will follow it?" He also deliberately said loudly.
In an instant, the atmosphere suddenly became heated, and there was a lot of discussion around him.
Official recognition and kindness? To Lu Ping An, is that important?
The living people are the most important.
Of course, there is also the "money" in your pocket, the goods hidden in a certain area...
"Well, it should be tax-free, and it's better to have some compensation for pensions and medical expenses."
Thinking of this, Lu Ping'an added loudly.
As a result, the situation completely got out of control.
