Shen Ping immediately sat up straight, his eyes fixed on the virtual frame.
black god suit!
This was something far superior in defense to SS-grade combat suits. A God of War wearing it would be virtually unkillable by ordinary councilor-level individuals.
He had originally planned to buy a high-quality combat suit upon his return, but he never expected to directly receive a black god suit as a reward. It was a pleasant surprise.
Moreover, what was even more important was that Pingwei Materials Company's profits had surged, and he could actually receive industry-related rewards. This indicated that expanding was not the only way to develop an industry.
"Previously, the company's annual profit only hovered around tens of millions. Since becoming an agent for the Dojo of Limits's weapon sales, operating profits increased, but only by thirty to forty million. This time, after hunting four advanced God of War-level beasts, profits directly soared to the two-billion level…"
Noticing the change in the virtual frame's font.
He vaguely grasped something: family prosperity brought rewards, and both a small step and a large step in prosperity would yield generous rewards. If it was just ordinary prosperity, the rewards would be very low.
"If that's truly the case, then the next industry profit will likely need to exceed ten billion. Additionally, there are factors like descendants and prestige, which should also show significant improvement compared to before to potentially receive generous rewards."
Shen Ping couldn't help but fall into contemplation.
The family virtual frame was his golden finger. Only by fully exploring and utilizing it could he progress more steadily and quickly.
Thump thump.
At this moment, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
"Come in."
He called out.
Manager Yan walked in. After sitting down, he smiled and said, "Boss, I have a suggestion regarding the handling of these four advanced God of War-level materials."
Shen Ping looked up and said, "What suggestion? Speak."
Manager Yan straightened his tie and said, "Currently, there is a huge demand for high-grade monster materials from various major forces. Our company is still new and has low visibility, with most of our connections relying on your personal efforts, Boss, so our operations are generally average. If we can use these four monster materials to establish some connections, for example, with the HR Alliance's weapon manufacturing department or the military's procurement department, it would greatly benefit our company's future development."
Shen Ping lightly tapped his fingers on the table, "You mean, actively lower the price or even sacrifice one or two to build connections?"
Manager Yan hurriedly said, "Yes, and it doesn't require such a huge sacrifice. When I worked at the HR Alliance Mall, I had dealings with both the weapon manufacturing department and the military. The value of just half a monster's material would be enough to get through."
"The important thing is that we can use this to showcase our company's capabilities. Even if we might not get such material orders again in the future, we can still use it for external publicity to attract more martial artists to sell or buy weapons."
Shen Ping pondered.
Over the past year or so, the company had been operating on a small scale. Before the New Year, thanks to the captain's connections, they had established a bit of a cooperative relationship with the Hua Zhong Base City Dojo of Limits headquarters, which put the company on the right track. If it truly worked out as the manager said, and they opened up channels, the company's development would accelerate.
"Are you confident?"
"Sixty percent."
Upon hearing this.
Shen Ping made a decision, "Alright, I'll leave this matter to you to handle. Also, you can let them know that the company can continuously obtain orders for advanced God of War materials."
Manager Yan's face lit up with joy, "Really?"
Shen Ping remained silent.
Manager Yan understood and immediately said excitedly, "If that's the case, then I'm eighty percent confident!"
They chatted for a few more moments.
After Manager Yan left.
A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Shen Ping's mouth. With his current strength, hunting Lord-level monsters was easy, but the company couldn't rely solely on him. Only by forming a virtuous cycle could it truly develop and catch up with those wealthy families.
…
"Wife, I'm home."
This time, when he returned to the Base City, Li Yuewei didn't go to the train station to pick him up, mainly because she had something to deal with.
Splash, splash.
Hearing the sound of water in the bathroom.
Shen Ping went upstairs to change his clothes. Seeing that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were not home and the child was not there either, he tiptoed to the bathroom door. Then, he suddenly pushed the door open, "Hehe, wife, I…"
Just as he was about to pounce.
He heard a startled scream.
He froze, standing dumbfounded. Before him was not his wife at all, but a fair, unfamiliar body.
"Quick, get out!"
Coming to his senses.
Shen Ping quickly ran out, re-closing the bathroom door. His face was full of embarrassment as he apologized awkwardly, "I'm so sorry, I, I didn't know someone else was in the bathroom. I thought it was my wife."
There was no sound from inside the bathroom.
He then said, "You, you're my wife's distant cousin, right?"
"Yes, it's me."
"I'm truly sorry. Please continue your bath. Oh, where's your cousin?"
"My cousin went to buy groceries. She'll be back soon."
After a few awkward exchanges.
Shen Ping scratched his head and went to the upstairs training room. He practiced his saber techniques for a while, and the awkwardness gradually faded. Opening the virtual frame, he silently willed to claim the rewards.
Soon, a black vest floated before his eyes, along with two wrapped bundles of essence of vegetation.
"black god suit."
Looking at the black vest, anticipation filled his eyes. The form of the black god suit was usually not fixed; some were gloves, others were vests. The method of use was to wear it on the body, and the black god suit would automatically absorb blood, becoming part of the skin. When attacked, it could instantly spread throughout the body to form a defense.
As for the two portions of essence of vegetation, one was a thousand-year willow wood heart, and the other was hundred dew grass. The thousand-year willow wood heart could significantly boost a martial artist's physical quality for a short period. The hundred dew grass was primarily for healing injuries; if Shen Ping were to consume it now, his severed arm would quickly regrow.
"I still have remnants of the essence of vegetation in my body, so there's no rush to use it. As for the hundred dew grass, it's not too late to use it later when I can expose my strength. I'll use the black god suit first."
As he pondered.
He put on the black vest. Before long, a tingling sensation spread across his body. This was the black god suit absorbing blood. The process wasn't intense and in just a moment, it had integrated into his skin.
"With this black god suit, I won't have to be so cautious when hunting Lord-level monsters!"
The combat power of an advanced God of War combined with the black god suit made him virtually invincible below the councilor-level. Even when facing a councilor who surpassed a God of War, Shen Ping had no fear. It could be said that at this moment, he had already joined the ranks of the Global powerhouses.
He went downstairs.
His wife and her parents had returned from grocery shopping.
The distant cousin had also finished her bath and was sitting on the sofa watching TV. When she saw Shen Ping come down, her youthful and beautiful face flushed red.
"Hubby, this is the distant cousin I mentioned to you earlier, Su Yin. Her musical talent is quite good. She just got into the Hua Zhong Academy of Arts last year. I've called her many times, and she finally agreed to come to our house."
Li Yuewei said with a smile.
Su Yin quickly explained, "Cousin, I had many classes before and had to work part-time, so I really didn't have time. Now that it's finally vacation, I came to your place."
Li Yuewei handed Su Yin an apple, "What kind of part-time work? Art students aren't as popular as they were before the Grand Nirvana. From now on, you can come work at your brother-in-law's company."
Shen Ping casually said, "Celebrities also make money. Maybe Xiao Yin can become a celebrity."
