Lu Ping’an, as an Executor, is no longer someone who can simply charge into battlefields.
Just organizing the war situations on his side and having his affiliated combat power and forces undergo war deployment and transformation took nearly a week... He somewhat understood why the Eastern Country Elite needed televised speeches to unify thoughts.
If some matters are not made clear, even if the leader of the organization fully initiates, the people below may still feel detached and merely go through the motions.

But now, with national-level presentations, everyone can understand that the main theme for the coming era is war and strategic counterattacks—possibly the only chance to save the world. This elevates everyone’s fighting spirit..... When everyone else is fiercely motivated and desperate, even if you lack the spirit, you must feign it in the face of great justice and public frenzy.
High morale is a good thing, but dealing with requests to join the battle gives Lu Ping’an a headache... Why would all these tellers, waiters, and clerks want to go to the battlefield and become cannon fodder! The sentiment is understandable and acceptable, but it’s better not to go through with it, as one professional warrior can beat a hundred ordinary newbies.
Lu Ping’an is definitely going to the battlefield, but he needs to carefully consider in what capacity and form he should participate.
Actually, he has already received hints from the top...
"Uh, why is it best for me not to go to the battlefield? Okay, I know the reason, but I have an undying body... It’s not entirely free of risks, but it should be a bearable risk,"
However, evidently, the calculators above don’t think so.
If Lu Ping’an doesn’t go to the battlefield, it means just one less eighth or ninth tier of idle combat power is missing. But if he gets directly targeted and finished, it means a halt mid-way through a comprehensive plan to transform all professionals, faintly becoming the core of the "Human Completion Plan."
Of course, this is just an admonition. Everyone knows that nobody can truly command Lu Ping’an.... They hope that Lu Ping’an would avoid entering the battlefield in the early stages, as he will be an obvious target. After some time, when the battles become thorough chaos, he would be able to act more freely.
Lu Ping’an did not refuse; he didn’t want to enter the battlefield and be watched by several Quasi-Gods, which would become a burden instead.
He still maintained his own pace, slowly advancing tasks concerning his power and the overall war preparations for the Ancient City.
Trading Lands, Forest Lands — all were fully developed. Lu Ping’an expended some of his power and further expanded the area of the "Life Forest."
Having the Earthly Divine Kingdom also meant tighter binding with this world.
"Uh, are VIP members complaining about their rights being compromised? Some people who haven’t paid are standing in front of them?"
"Let them complain. Those are the reserve forces of various military regions."
Watching soldiers from across the country line up to enter his Forest Land, Lu Ping’an knew that until this wave was thoroughly completed, he probably couldn’t move freely; the entire Eastern Country couldn’t afford the loss of Lu Ping’an.
However, as a price, these soldiers are destined to lose part of their lifespan... Some people, moreover, make multiple wishes, starting with donating ten years of their life.
"...Thank you."
"Thank you, my talent is quite ordinary; without your Holy Land, I would never have had a chance in my life."
"Are you saddened for us? You truly are gentle...."
Lu Ping’an wanted to stop some functions, but before he could send up the report, he was stopped by those soldiers.
It takes a long time to train soldiers, but only a moment to use them.... As professional warriors, they are far more aware than outsiders.
"....More than two hundred ’Insurance Managers’ and ’Redeemers’ today, huh? Tsk, they’re going to say again that I’m more useful in the rear than the front."
Lu Ping’an felt somewhat helpless; the pathway he created unexpectedly became popular.
"After all, this is a rare non-Healer Path of Healers, especially since it developed the gameplay to delay contamination losing control, instantly becoming a T0 buff profession..."
The professional pathway that Lu Ping’an introduced is just a greatly weakened version of his Talent Abilities, but it became tremendously popular the moment it appeared.
Insurance Manager is the ultimate weakened version of ’Postponed Payment’, but it does not directly have the ability to split severe injuries into several parts..... That ability, from the very beginning, was a Rule System ability above the Rule-level, originally a product of Lu Ping’an’s Divine Foundation.
However, this Insurance Manager, in actuality, is also an Executor bearing risks.
He can use Contract Paper to sign a ’Life Insurance Contract’ with other people, where the other party has to regularly pay part of their Life Force, forming an actual link relationship beyond the physical.
If the insured party is damaged, they can demand fulfillment of the loss, having them bear part of the injury while returning some Life Force.
From the results, it appears as injuries heal at a visible rate to the naked eye, and the Insurance Manager also suffers certain proportionate injuries.
Clearly, this is a Scholar’s part-time job, and it demands quite high standards, at least the standard of a 2-tier Contractor, while the number of entities it can contract at lower levels is very limited, not exceeding ten before third-tier.
However, if your team has a Nanny who can instantly pull you back from severe, even fatal injuries, it’s essentially like having parents who gave you a second life.
Instant Healing, especially in saving a life from fatal injuries, has rapidly sparked popularity in this profession.
Especially for Lu, as long as you give the points, I will sell.... It immediately sold out, even prompting some Life System Churches to protest against Lu Ping’an, accusing him of unfair competition.
But in reality, neither side is playing the same game fundamentally; the other side targets specific diseases, injuries, and mutations for regenerative treatment, while Lu Ping’an’s method is a "Rule-level" re-correction, seemingly a Rule System of the Life System.
The Redeemer also has many abilities, but what made it a big seller as well was its healing power... Compared to the many limitations and deadly preconditions of Healer abilities, including extensive medical knowledge, Lu Ping’an’s "Rule-System Healing" is just too useful; previously, some similar abilities were produced occasionally, but not in the mass-produced way of now.
The Redeemer, as the name implies, is indeed Lu Ping’an’s Sub-Sub-Substitute version of the ability where ’Extraordinary Substance’ is swallowed by the Courtyard and turned into Life Points.
This profession can transform a part of Taboo items, Quasi-Contaminated Items, and part of Extraordinary Beings (with their consent) into part of a ’Life Reserve’, and then use it when necessary..... most directly for healing effects.
It’s worth noting that they are still using ’Life Force,’ ’Life Source Force,’ and not Lu Ping’an’s proprietary Life Points.
However, in the most critical Middle-Low Tier environments needing healing, this is sufficient.
Medical assistance is always a priority in a War environment, and Lu Ping’an introducing two healing professions at this time once again made him the focus of the public, further constraining his actions.
The Life Trade Pathway, this subtly integrated pathway unique to Scholar, Life System, Tamer, and other Composite Occupations, suddenly became an important strategic resource.
In turn, many advised Lu Ping’an to consider Ascension, to honestly ascend and provide support from above.... but even as Lu Ping’an flatly refused, more people joined Lu Ping’an’s projects, increasing their investments in them.
And what surprised Lu Ping’an himself, as the creator and source provider of the pathway, was how quickly he received a return.
"A commission? Ten percent? It really is a familiar percentage."
