How Am I Still Alive?

"Your Highness, thank you for your invitation."

"Oh, don't call me Your Highness, everyone is equal in this era, how can there be His Highness. Please be sure to call me by my first name, just call me Nan Liuzhi."

When I met him more than half a month ago, this person still had some royal self-awareness, and when communicating with his followers, he still had the attitude of "master and servant".

But this time when we meet again, the posture is very low.

The jewels and special taboo rings on his hands are gone, and the only decoration is a common local mechanical watch. The exotic clothes that originally had a desert style have also become the most popular jeans and casual plaid shirt in this era.

Now he looks like an office worker during vacation, smiling and welcoming friends who have just come to eat to remove this table of wild animals, at least a five-figure starting point.

"I didn't expect to meet fellow countrymen here. May I know the names of the two ladies?"

Lu Pingan didn't go to the banquet alone, and behind him were two ladies from the Scattering tribe.

"Catherine, I have taught your subordinates, and I have to say that they are very good business players."

Lu Pingan gave his contact information to the prince before, and Catherine also handled the matter of their purchase of the fire grass.

Naturally, this kind of thing would not be done by the prince, and this was also the first time they met.

"Heh, if I knew such a beautiful lady, I would definitely let them increase the price by another layer."

The prince smiled and nodded, but he didn't turn his attention to Catherine. His goal from the beginning was Lu Ping An, but now, he was attracted by another person.

"What a coincidence, this princess from the Theocracy?" Six Fingers was a little surprised. The other party's necklace and badge both marked his noble status.

"Just like there are no princes here, there are no princesses here, just call me Yaxi."

Ya Qian, who was silent all the way, was not rude at this time.

On the other side of the prince, the Phosphorous woman, who was three points similar to him, also introduced herself with a smile.

"What a surprise, I'm Wang Xi'er, brother Liuzhi's biological sister."

Well, in this small private room of the restaurant, three former members of the royal family unexpectedly appeared.

Yaqian's arrival, invisibly, also shared Lu Ping'an's pressure. As an ordinary member of the special service team, he was invited by two members of the royal family to have a private talk, and he didn't want to go from the beginning.

The unequal status makes it difficult to carry out many transactions that require equal negotiation, especially now that the desert kingdom is the official local rich man. If they press Lu Pingan to negotiate and make some not too "excessive" demands, He really can't refuse.

And Yaqian's arrival naturally leveled the positions of both parties. At the same time, as a middleman who both parties could talk to, it also made the atmosphere a lot easier.

The desert kingdom and the Theocracy are far and wide, but they also have some exchanges with each other, at least as continental powers, they respect each other equally.

In the past, their identities were similar, but now they are both descended from Tianya, and they talked about some past events, and the atmosphere naturally improved a lot.

They are all members of the royal family, talking about the past, interesting talks, and new things they have seen in this world. They really let them talk about it, and they can talk about it for a whole day. No content involved.

If Lu Pingan came by himself, it would be over in a few words.

Looking at Yaqian, who smiled and talked about the dragon beast war horse in her hometown, her vividness and "cheerful personality" are completely different from the otaku princess in my past memory. Perhaps this is the self-cultivation of the royal family members.

She, coming this time, can be regarded as a new entry into the social field of the Phosphorus people, which will naturally bring risks and troubles, and this is what she requested on her own initiative.

"This time, Prince Nan Liuzhi is inviting me, can I go with him?"

Lu Pingan originally wanted to chat with her, asking about the situation in the desert kingdom, and what these people might want to do with him.

Unexpectedly, she volunteered and tried to go with her.

Lu Pingan asked the reason, didn't you hide here before? The girl smiled bitterly.

"I can hide for a lifetime, but can my younger brothers and sisters? Wealth is always used up. I can accept it just as shelter, but my family may not be able to. Some things have to be faced. I need a new identity and social interaction. Circle, this is an opportunity for me."

She took the initiative to ask for a job, and of course Lu Pingan would not refuse. Especially not long ago, she helped herself.

For Yaqian, escaping cannot solve the problem, but procrastination can turn a big problem into a small one, but in the end, she still needs to use her strength to speak.

Sooner or later, I still have to contact the Phosphorus-spreaders and my own people, but before that, if I can gain a foothold among another Phosphorus-spreaders group, maybe I can gain some "strength".

If there is really trouble to come to the door, the last thing to rely on is yourself, these phosphorus spreaders, who have no enmity with me, and I have a chance.

As a child of the royal family, she actually sees it more clearly than many people.

As a foreigner, she is a lifetime wage earner who is impossible to be the leader among human beings. She is the only result of being mixed in human society. She is nothing more than a middle-level management position or a hard-working front-line position.

Lu Pingan is very generous and friendly, but he can't give him the "power" he wants. As a child of the royal family, after losing something, he always feels insecure.

Now, she re-established a relationship with the two royal families as Lu Ping'an's friend and a negotiating intermediary, which is equivalent to re-entering the high-end social circle of the Phosphorus.

What she said was very clear. Naturally, Lu Pingan would not refuse. He was originally a stowaway hitchhiking, and he was free to get in and out of the car. He also knew from the beginning that they would leave sooner or later, but he didn't expect So fast.

Now, the most valuable thing about her is the fact that "as a Phosphorusian, she is naturally compatible with the Phosphorusman of the Desert Kingdom, but she is not a person of the Desert Kingdom, so she can gain a certain degree of trust from humans".

This kind of unflattering identity, as well as the noble identity in the past, is destined not to gain the complete trust of both parties, but it is very suitable as a lubricant and a middleman.

The "lunch meeting" was originally expected to be about an hour, but due to this small accident, it took more than two hours abruptly. Right in front of Lu Pingan, the two "VIPs" directly called to push some meetings and work.

They were obviously very interested in Ya Qian, and they also offered to invite her, but Ya Qian declined directly.

She knew that although she wanted to borrow the power of the desert kingdom, it was not suitable for her to directly join it. Only the weak could get more by swinging between the two strong sides.

Really accept the asylum of two royal family members? Maybe it's a choice, but at least not now, she doesn't want to be a subordinate.

Instead, she proposed to run a "human resources company" that would specialize in subcontracting and referral work.

Not all Phosphorus people are interested in screwing in the Motor City. Many outsiders will naturally try to integrate into the local area and find some local jobs. At this time, if there is a company run by a "compatriot", it will naturally be able to Provide a lot of help And this company, the first thing to do is to deal with human beings. In this regard, Yaqian, who is not a desert kingdom, has certain advantages.

If she wants to do this, she will probably have to deal with the local authorities, and perhaps, she will need Lu Ping'an's help.

"Is this like those intermediaries who specialize in immigrants and job introductions for their own people? It is indeed very profitable, I hope it is not a black intermediary." Lu Pingan was thoughtful. Sure enough, these royal family members did not have fuel-efficient lamps. , should have been prepared for a long time.

At the same time, if the local people from Gucheng want to work in the Auto City, they also need commissions and intermediaries, and she also wants to intervene in this regard.

Obviously, this requires the support of the two royal families and local officials, but because of her status, it is not difficult to obtain support.

".There are some people on my side. Although there are not many, they are still very reliable. It should not be a big problem to do some 'working language teaching' and 'pre-employment training'."

This is actually a trivial matter, the two distinguished guests immediately agreed for the sake of the past and Lu Pingan's face.

The topic has been around for a long time, and finally they have had enough of "fighting skills", and it has come to the main topic of finding Lu Pingan this time.

"You guys also plan to join the explorers?"

"Of course, we don't want to lag behind this era, and we don't want to work so hard to build a factory. The next day, a similar technology suddenly appears, and it's a lot ahead of us."

The times are moving forward, and no one can stand still. After finding out the situation, the leaders of the two ethnic groups also want to participate in the interests of "exotic exploration".

Even if you can't gain a lot, at least you can get all kinds of intelligence and news in the first place to avoid major losses in business.

"Then you should take it as an additional clause and talk to the local bosses, what do you want me to do?"

In an instant, the two smiled wryly.

"This, we've already tried it, and it's already a matter of principle. If you don't nod at the top, they won't give in. But if it's a small-scale private exploration, if you join the explorer team as a mercenary, there should be no problem. .”

The aliens grouped together and sent out legions in the name of large-scale exploration, which had already crossed the bottom line of the locals, but it was completely reasonable to be mercenaries here and there.

"Then there's no reason to look for me, I'm just a newcomer."

"Hey, brother, let me do the talking. Our plan is that after everything is settled, I will also join the ranks of explorers. Then, I need a suitable team."

These words have already been said quite bluntly. If Lu Pingan doesn't understand, he just pretends to be stupid and politely refuses.

Well, the previous princess hasn't left yet, and here comes another one.
