Urban Peerless Expert

Chapter 3896 - 3915: Identity and Freedom

Luo Wen operated the screen and took a picture of the comparison chart ahead, then sent it to Zhang Zhongjiu."See for yourself."

Zhang Zhongjiu opened the comparison chart and after just a few seconds, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Comprehensive improvement!"

Luo Wen nodded, "Although I can’t figure out their refinement techniques, the effect is indeed good. It seems your decision to bring them back from the Lost Ball was correct."

Zhang Zhongjiu, who was originally indifferent, smiled, "Haha, I had heard them discuss it for quite some time, saying there was room for improvement, so I thought of bringing them back to give it a try, and it really worked out. I made a profit this time."

Luo Wen did not comment on Zhang Zhongjiu’s words but asked, "What plans do you have for them next?"

Zhang Zhongjiu pondered for a few seconds, "First, let them continue researching the improvement of Purifiers at your site. Remember to send me a copy of the test data for each successful product they research."

Luo Wen nodded, "Sure."

Zhang Zhongjiu’s plans didn’t concern Luo Wen much; as the production base manager, he just needed to manage his own affairs.

Zhang Zhongjiu thought for a while and said, "Since they have proven their value, let’s give them the treatment they deserve. Apart from the normal work, allow them free activities during their private time."

Luo Wen asked, "You mean to allow them to go out?"

"Yes!"

Zhang Zhongjiu laughed, "Their necks have shackles on them, they can’t escape, and they can’t use tremendous energy, thus can’t cause much trouble."

"Since they can improve the Purifiers, perhaps their talents can be applied elsewhere as well. Although it may not necessarily work, it is still a possibility."

"If they do prove their ability, we can develop a new discipline from their skills, ultimately training a large number of talents."

Luo Wen nodded, "You do think far ahead."

Zhang Zhongjiu snorted coldly, "I just don’t want to be a Purification Team member on this lousy planet for a lifetime. Since I discovered them, the contributions they make naturally ought to be credited to me."

Luo Wen considered, "Given that their world on the Lost Ball possesses talents like theirs, should we consider capturing more people from there?"

Zhang Zhongjiu said coldly, "In their world, there are a total of eighteen experts with the same strength as those two females. As for refinement, I’ve also looked into it; they are all at the pinnacle level."

"I’m interested not just in their people, but in their abilities. If possible, transforming it into a discipline for our Federation, allowing more people to learn it, is my goal."

Luo Wen was silent for a few seconds, then nodded, "Alright, I’ll do as you say."

Zhang Zhongjiu’s voice turned a bit colder, "Although we give them the corresponding treatment, if any of them do not cooperate, or are deliberately obstructive, we can directly eliminate them. At worst, as you said, I can make another trip to capture more people."

"Okay!"

Luo Wen hung up the phone, his face showing a somewhat complex expression.

As the manager of the Purifier production base in Jinghai City, dealing with the Purification Team is quite normal. With so many interactions, perhaps there’s not much deep friendship, but they have become quite familiar.

Zhang Zhongjiu was not from Jinghai City, not even a native of Planet 49, but from another planet.

He vaguely heard that Zhang Zhongjiu had a significant background, but he got into trouble and was eventually "exiled to the frontier," to Jinghai City on Planet 49, becoming a member of the Purification Team.

Zhang Zhongjiu is clearly different from other Purification Team members; he’s thinking about turning these people’s knowledge into a discipline beneficial to the Federation. If Lin Chen and others can really show a strong advantage in certain areas, his idea is quite feasible. If successful, it would be a significant merit.

Zhang Zhongjiu might be planning to rely on this merit to leave here and return to where he originally belonged.

Whether Zhang Zhongjiu will succeed, Luo Wen does not know, nor does he care much. He only focuses on doing his own job well.

After the test ended, Luo Wen and the people returned to the workspace again.

"You have proven your strength. I admit I underestimated you before, and I apologize for that here."

With a smile on his face, Luo Wen apologized and then continued, "You will continue to work well to strive for the production of better-performing products, and you will receive better treatment and more rewards for your work achievements."

Dugu Feng tentatively asked, "Our product today can be considered successful, right? Is there any reward?"

Luo Wen laughed, "Today’s product can only be considered a demonstration of your ability. Although there’s some improvement, it’s not significant."

"I just contacted Zhang Zhongjiu, and discussed this matter with him. Although there’s not much improvement in the product performance, there is indeed an improvement, so he will give you more time to better showcase your abilities."

"If you can produce a product with better performance next time, I will apply for temporary identity status for you and lift your freedom restrictions."

Although Luo Wen meant that there would be no reward this time and the reward would come only if better products were produced next time, the people’s eyes still brightened instantly.

Identity!

Freedom!

From Fang Tian’s narrative, they have understood how important it is to have a legal identity in living in the Federation.

If their strength was not limited and without wearing the dangerous black ring, with their strength, they could perhaps live well even as bandits. But now their abilities are restricted, and they are being tracked, how dare they do anything bad or attempt to escape?

Under such constraints, obtaining a legal identity and freedom is now their most important goal.

Although what Luo Wen mentioned was a "temporary identity," it was still enough to excite the people immensely.

Originally being prisoners, always one step away from execution, aiming for the top didn’t seem possible, but taking the first step was crucial.

Only by stepping out of this production base could they potentially connect with the outside society, meet others outside, and seek better opportunities. If they always stayed confined here, acting like slaves participating in various research and production activities without ever leaving, what future would they have?

"Okay, we will definitely research better products as quickly as possible!"

Encouraged by the promise, the people were quite excited, and Nangong Li immediately expressed his position.

Luo Wen laughed, "Then everyone, add oil, anything you need, you can reach out to Fang Tian, he will help coordinate for you."

After Luo Wen left, everyone looked at each other with faces full of excitement they could not hide.

Qingluan Immortal Monarch’s eyes sparkled with fervent light, "Everyone, work hard, and we’ll soon gain freedom. Only by going out and meeting people with higher authority will the thing around our necks possibly be removed. Otherwise, everything we gain is deceptive and unreal..."
