Chapter 732: Chapter 381 Development Keynote Professional Promotion

"There are still many things that might require you or Lord Azure Dragon to handle personally." Ulrich added.

Li Ming nodded, "Inform the others, prepare for a remote meeting."

Ulrich nodded and quickly went to make arrangements.

In the base conference room, which had obviously undergone multiple expansions, the space was exceptionally spacious.

Li Ming sat at the head position, with virtual projection devices suspended in various corners of the room, resembling diamond-shaped crystals.

Data and images flowed within them, projecting three-dimensional scenes and detailed information charts in front of Li Ming.

These are various detailed data from the past six months; the scale of the Mechanical Court itself has been constantly expanding, consuming the military market of the Chaotic Star Gap.

Therefore, almost no profit remains; it was all invested by Ulrich.

Just in this half year, the turnover soared twenty times, reaching over two hundred billion, with explosive growth mainly concentrated after the Central World incident.

There are still one hundred billion orders being processed intensively, with the [Material Reorganization Machine] in place, even with continuous expansion, the production capacity is still insufficient.

Ulrich and the other few Level A Life Forms even paid out of their pocket to buy quite a few things.

A long metal table spanned the center, with a surface that shimmered with a cold sheen and strong lines, cast in one piece from interstellar alloy, and the edges were inlaid with densely packed energy lines, glowing faintly in a deep blue hue.

Ulrich and others sat on both sides, while Sandro was enthusiastically describing, animatedly,

"...you don’t know, I took on Andel Civilization’s employment task, dealing with a few Star Thieves who escaped to another civilization’s territory."

"To avoid causing a civilization dispute, they couldn’t handle it personally, but something unexpected happened, there was an issue with the data provided by Andel Civilization, and I accidentally killed a few."

"The task wasn’t completed well, no problem with them deducting my pay, but that bastard in charge, so arrogant, even said I was just at that level."

Sandro looked resentful, then quickly changed his expression, "Guess what happened next..."

No one present responded to him, Sandro was already used to it, suddenly shouted, "Just then, the news came out that Lord Azure Dragon is a Divine Craftsman!"

"I was about to leave the Andel Star Civilization, but that person in charge suddenly changed his attitude, so sycophantic it made me sick, not only returned the deducted money to me but also paid an additional 20% reward."

"You don’t know how satisfying that was." Sandro looked full of emotion, still no one responded to him.

Then, the seat next to Ulrich flickered with arc light, and as the bluish light constructed, Theo’s figure appeared, he looked at Li Ming immediately, eyes flickering.

Sandro and Theo had been leading people doing employment tasks, indirectly expanding channels, and had come in contact with the most people, feeling the most changes since the Central World incident.

As long as they knew they were from the Mechanical Court, they basically had a green light, unlike before, when they had to grease more palms.

Seeing Theo also arriving, Li Ming casually slid his hand, and the virtual screen in front disappeared, he looked around solemnly, "Now that everyone is here, we can start."

Everyone instinctively straightened their chests, even when facing Li Ming, at this moment they dared not be the slightest bit negligent.

"Ulrich, tell us about the problems we’re currently facing."

Ulrich nodded, and immediately said, "Because of Lord Azure Dragon’s influence, many companies in the Chaotic Star Gap are backing down, so our development will basically not have any obstacles until we reach a certain level."

"Because of Prince Ryan, extending outward might be difficult, but we haven’t finished with the Chaotic Star Gap yet, so we don’t have to consider it for now."

"The obstacles come from within us, given the short time since our formation, our production capacity and manpower are currently severely insufficient."

"The production capacity issues can be resolved as long as there are resources, thanks to the [Material Reorganization Machine], but the manpower issue can only be addressed through recruitment."

Ulrich looked at Li Ming, "We are in dire need of mid-level managers, Theo’s mercenaries can suffice when the scale is small, but as we expand, we must have professional management personnel."

"And more solid armed forces, with the employment business also entering a stagnation phase, mainly due to a serious shortage of B-level life forms."

"Then recruit them." Li Ming nodded, "However, only recruit management personnel, as for the solid armed forces..."

He pondered, "I will ask the teacher for some designs of B-level mechanical bodies."

Mechanical Court, although still a small force now, considering the attention it receives, whether there will be numerous spies infiltrating if recruitment is openly announced is unknown.

Particularly the combat roles, Li Ming does not want to recruit a hundred people and find ninety are spies.

"Mechanical bodies..." Ulrich nodded slowly, "Our own problems are these two, externally, there are quite a few forces wanting to form an alliance with us, to share channels."

"Refuse them all." Li Ming decisively said.

Ulrich asked in surprise, "Refuse them all?"

He thought it was a great opportunity for expansion, after all, with Li Ming having Azure Dragon backing him, those people couldn’t stir much trouble.

Li Ming did not explain, of course, he knew those people were drawn by Azure Dragon, unaware of how many had ulterior motives.

If Azure Dragon truly had the heritage and strength of a Divine Craftsman, he wouldn’t mind accepting them all.

For now, he only wants to shape the Mechanical Court into his own force, letting others refrain from causing trouble for the sake of Azure Dragon’s reputation.
