Level Up in Martial World

"Who is she?" She thought.

Lu Zhen coughed as he just expressionlessly looked at the room. There were still some burnt walls from the previous burning of the equipment.

"How is the construction of new equipment going?" Lu Zhen looked at her with a frown on his face.

"That will take some time, young master. Although we have a hundred martial artists working in tandem, it will still take more than a year for you to complete the work," Lu Qing said tentatively while looking at Lu Zhen\'s face. powered-by-MvLeMpYr

"Hmm." Lu Zhen frowned as he had a contemplative expression. "Make it a month. I will supply you with all the martial artists that I can find."

"How much will that be, young master?" Lu Qing replied as her face returned to a professional demeanor.

"It would be around a thousand if they were just normal martial artists. I could find a thousand; however, those well-versed in machinery and other things except for fighting are really difficult to find," Lu Zhen said with a bitter expression.

"The blueprint you have given us is really more complex than the previous one, young master. Sorry I couldn\'t be much of a help," Lu Qing said with some sadness reflecting on her face.

The machinery that Lu Zhen gave them to construct was from the mage books as well, which the mages had used to extract the bloodline from the otherworldly beast, creating bloodline martial artists.

Since even mages had difficulty constructing the bloodline extraction machine, and their technology was much more advanced than Lu Zhen\'s previous world, it was undoubtedly difficult to make the machine for bloodline extraction.

However, the martial artists could still replicate the things; although it would take time, they could still do it, which was a feat in itself.

After all, mages compared to now, the martial world could be compared to the caveman\'s era. Still, the amount of mastery that people could reach if they had done it for years was terrifying, to say the least.

It just needs competent people, and in the city of millions of populations, it was very easy to find talents that might not be in the martial arts but could be in business and other things as well.

Although in this world where strength ruled supreme and martial artists were the prime rulers of the world since they had the strength, there were a variety of people as well living a farmer\'s life or some other profession who weren\'t martial artists at the bottom of the food chain.

"It\'s fine; where are the other four guys?" Lu Zhen suddenly asked with confusion, looking around the empty room.

"They should be instructing the people on how to construct all the materials."

"Oh, okay," Lu Zhen nodded his head with an understanding expression.

"Since I am the leader now, I can finally have a certain amount of authority in the family," Lu Zhen muttered with a contemplative gaze. "Since the ancestor Lu doesn\'t care much about mundane things, I can utilize the entire resources of the city for myself."

Lu Zhen looked toward her with his crimson gaze.

"Can you take care of this woman?" He extended his hand forward, and the chained-up Xiaolong Gui also came forward with the chain, almost like she was a balloon tied to a string.

Xiaolong Gui\'s expression had already turned dark by now with all the humiliation she had to go through.

"I have never been humiliated like this before…" Her expression turned cold as she looked at Lu Zhen with a narrowed gaze.

However, Lu Zhen didn\'t care a single bit, with an expressionless face.

"Oh." Suddenly, he seemed to have noticed her gaze as he looked at Xiaolong Gui.

The moment he did, she hurriedly avoided his crimson gaze while hiding her face; a deep-rooted fear seemed to have taken place for her towards Lu Zhen.

Lu Zhen chuckled with amusement.

"You take her and make her wear a cloak or something that is unpleasant to the eyes," Lu Zhen said as he passed the chains to Lu Qing\'s hand.

"Yes, young master," Lu Qing said with a strange expression while looking at the naked woman.

She looked at her own chest before she looked at Xiaolong Gui\'s chest with a red face.

Lu Zhen just chuckled seeing this. "Let me see how much they have progressed till now. You go and make her wear some clothes and remember to be careful with her and never let her out of the chains. If she misbehaves, just tell me," he said while looking at her with a crimson gaze.

Xiaolong Gui shivered with just the gaze of Lu Zhen as she seemed to nod her head very meekly, completely contrasting from her previous demeanour.

Seeing this, Lu Zhen smirked as he went to a certain side of the wall and pressed it.

Rumble!

The entire wall split open, revealing a well-lit passageway.

"I will be going to the construction place while you take care of her first," Lu Zhen said with a little surprise.

"Did you polish the hallways?" he suddenly asked Lu Qing.

"Young master, I did. From the knowledge I have gained from you, I have been able to do many things I hadn\'t been able to do. Even my anatomical knowledge of the human body and other beasts has rapidly increased; now I can heal or kill people much faster," Lu Qing replied. Unknowingly, an evil smirk crept up on her face.

Lu Zhen just shook his head, seeing this. He already knew about some of her hobbies; however, Lu Zhen couldn\'t care less about it as long as she did her work efficiently and obediently.
