Douluo: What the hell is the academic master development system?

Chapter 468 Good Employee? Good Boss?

Just as Chen Ping was carrying a bag of premium cocoa beans he had brought from Xingluo Southern Frontier, intending to give a bag to Huo Yuhao, Nana, and the others so that they would develop the good habit of drinking coffee to refresh themselves when they were tired from work, Chen Ping saw Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan, who had just finished a fight as a team.

Yes, Jing Ziyan was also lured into the undead demiplane by Chen Ping, but it wasn't Chen Ping who did it on purpose.

He's not a human trafficker. In the past two years, he's only abducted a silver wolf king, a den of golden wolves, a level nine soul master, a sword fanatic named Ji Juechen, and a group of pitiful people, led by Nana, who are deeply mired in the quagmire of the Holy Spirit Cult.
Ahem, okay, although Chen Ping has a little more people (or beasts) he's abducted in the two years since he came to the Sun Moon Empire, he can at least guarantee that he didn't intentionally abduct Jing Ziyan into the undead demiplane as well.

If we really have to find someone to take responsibility for this, then it should be that old man, Jing Hongchen.

Chen Ping didn't know how the old man had spoken to the silly girl Jing Ziyan, but in the end, Jing Ziyan mistakenly believed that Chen Ping was the one who made Ji Juechen disappear, and she insisted that Chen Ping give her an explanation.

Jing Hongchen's original intention was most likely to have Jing Ziyan bother Chen Ping, clinging to him like a leech, and perhaps Chen Ping would then reveal where Ji Juechen had gone after his vacation?

Jing Hongchen's tactic was actually quite effective. At least Chen Ping now understood why Huo Gua was so afraid of Jing Ziyan and Ji Juechen in the original novel.

These two are incredibly energetic; they can squat for a whole day if they want to.

In the original novel, Huo Yuhao beat up the two martial arts fanatics, which at least calmed them down a bit. However, Chen Ping was really at his wits' end with Jing Ziyan's close-quarters defense, who only sought out others instead of fighting.

That's why, after being closely guarded by Jing Ziyan for half a month, Chen Ping couldn't stand this old lady anymore. He used the same method to lure her out of Mingdu, and then kicked her into the Undead Demiplane to grind Undead dungeons with Ji Juechen.

Chen Ping originally thought that Jing Ziyan might not be able to accept the monotonous rhythm of grinding against undead creatures every day, and that he might have to ask her to hide her memories of entering the undead demiplane and throw them out to the other party.

Unexpectedly, Jing Ziyan may not be as good as Ji Juechen in terms of martial arts comprehension, but her desire for battle is no less than Ji Juechen's. The amount of time she spends grinding monsters every day is just as much as Ji Juechen's, which is ridiculous.

"Did you have a blast playing games today?"

Chen Ping looked at the two men, who were supporting each other and both covered in bruises, with amusement. He wondered why these two guys had been beaten up like this at just over nine o'clock in the morning.

At this moment, Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan were clearly seriously injured, but the excitement in their eyes was almost impossible to conceal.

"Boss, Ziyan and I held out against the Ice Dragon for a full two and a half minutes this time!"

After saying this, Ji Juechen almost collapsed, but fortunately Jing Ziyan helped him catch up, preventing him from actually falling.

"Ice Dragon, two and a half minutes, you two?"

Chen Ping raised an eyebrow. Even if Ji Juechen's strength was already comparable to that of an ordinary Soul Saint, and with Jing Ziyan, a Soul Emperor with the best Soul Ring ratio, he still couldn't hold out for two and a half minutes against Ice Dragon, whose normal combat strength was already at the Soul Douluo level.

"It's battle armor."

A mix of excitement and embarrassment tinged with nervousness, Jing Ziyan took out two sets of Thousand-Refined Battle Armor that had been dented and crushed.

Although these two sets of battle armor are still in the experimental stage, they can already provide Jing Ziyan and Ji Juechen with a very strong boost to their combat power.

Of course, the most crucial thing is that after equipping the battle armor, the two, who were originally somewhat fragile, have also seen a significant increase in their defense. They are no longer so easily killed by a single lash of the ice dragon's tail, which is why they have been able to hold out for so long.

“Boss, I heard from Yuhao that you helped us get a set of thousand-refined metal enough to make the thousand-refined battle armor. It seems like it’s quite a lot of work.” “We two were too engrossed in the fight this time. We went to find Ice Dragon to test our current level halfway through the test, and it seems like we ruined both sets of battle armor.”

When Jing Ziyan said this, she was clearly a little embarrassed. These two sets of battle armor didn't look very thick, but in fact, the metal density was extremely high, and each set weighed more than 100 kilograms.

The battle armor, made from hundreds of kilograms of various rare metals, must have been incredibly expensive to produce.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping happily retrieved the two sets of battle armor, and then handed each of them a beautifully packaged gift box of coffee beans, complete with a coffee bean grinder.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. As long as you two aren't seriously injured, that's good. As for the battle armor, I'll have Yuhao make you a new set in a couple of days. We'll just use the new ones, don't be shy with me."

"As for these two broken battle armors, I'll have Nana pick them up later and send them to Professor Mo to check what went wrong. We'll make some improvements and try to create a true one-word battle armor."

Chen Ping's words deeply moved Jing Ziyan.

What a great leader! The two of them couldn't resist taking such precious equipment to challenge the Ice Dragon and broke all the equipment, but Chen Ping didn't blame them. Instead, he was concerned about whether they were injured.

What Jing Ziyan didn't know was that Chen Ping was also deeply moved at this moment.

What great employees! They were free equipment testers for me, working with perfect attendance for a whole year. After testing the equipment every day, they even worried that the unscrupulous boss was losing money.

Chen Ping watched the two leave with a smile, then pursed his lips and smiled slightly.

"Chen Ping, your smile is so ugly, so heartless."

Looking at Chen Ping's somewhat smug expression, Xue Di immediately gave Chen Ping's smile a negative review based on her own purest inner world.

“Hey, Xue Di, this is what you don’t understand,” Chen Ping continued as he walked forward, “This is the division of labor in human society.”

"Look, in our undead demiplane, Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan are in charge of equipment testing, and Nana is also doing her job, and she helps me deliver some packages."

"If there's a problem with the battle armor, I can send it to Professor Mo to check where the problem is. After it's fixed, I can send it back. As for Yuhao, he can help me hammer the thousand-refined metal and also get some physical training."

"This is better than having all the work done by me alone. Most of the soul beasts in your soul beast world are solitary, but the reason why we humans have been able to get to where we are today is because of cooperation and division of labor."

At this point, Chen Ping even raised his head slightly in satisfaction.

Xue Di must have been enlightened by his speech and gained a deeper understanding of the human world, right?
Upon hearing Chen Ping's words, Xue Di gently touched her pale pink lips with her snow-white, jade-like index finger, a thoughtful expression appearing on her beautiful and ethereal face.

"Well, Chen Ping, you've explained the division of labor clearly, but you yourself still don't have any work to do."

"In your human world, these would be what you call the most wicked exploiters."

After a moment's thought, Xue Di succinctly revealed that Chen Ping had now grown into the number one exploiter in the undead demiplane.
