Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1616: Chapter 104: Homecoming! The Wang Family’s Talent Pool Grows

…

Changning Garrison.

Wang’s Industrial Park.

Unknowingly, several months had already passed.

Over this period of adaptation, the first batch of Artifact Refiners from the Immortal Dynasty had gradually adjusted to life in the industrial park, fully merging into the fast-paced rhythm of work and life.

Among them, the most numerous Spirit Platform Realm refiners were now just like the refiners trained by the Wang family, accustomed to a nine-to-five routine and taking the rail train to commute daily.

Even Elder Pei, who had the most exacting requirements for the work environment, adapted exceedingly well.

Perhaps for a Refining Master, new technologies are the best lubricant for adapting to new settings. Over this time, he had practically immersed himself in the joy of studying new technologies, unable to extricate himself.

His favorite thing to do lately was to grab Wang Ningxi or Wang Shichao to barrage them with various questions, then propose all kinds of hypotheses based on their responses, discussing feasibility—sometimes for days on end.

This forced Wang Shichao to now instinctively try to steer clear whenever he saw him, as most of his expertise lay in administrative management and not technical specialties.

Other than that, even Wang Liyue, who was renowned for her reclusive lifestyle, had been cornered by Elder Pei a few times.

Were it not for concerns about pulling along young girls incessantly—risking rumors or angering his current financial backer Wang Shouzhe—he’d probably detain her outright to prevent her from leaving.

What mundane affairs in the Research Institute were worth tending to, compared to the joy of studying new technologies and learning new artifact refining knowledge?

Interestingly, Wang Ningxi, who rarely came across people he could discuss new technologies with, found Elder Pei’s refined expertise in artifact-making highly remarkable and welcomed his presence.

The two of them sometimes stayed together in Wang Ningxi’s workshop for several days at a time.

As a result, new artifact products or models with enhanced performance across various metrics were often developed and put into experimentation afterward.

One could say that the arrival of these Immortal Dynasty refiners injected new life into Wang’s Industrial Park. Not only did the production efficiency of Black Armor experience significant improvement, but even the Wang Clan Research Institute was reinvigorated, demonstrating markedly improved research efficiency.

Moreover, after Elder Pei and other master-level refiners like Xiang Huaijin immersed themselves deeply in Wang family’s refining philosophy, the long-shelved project due to scarcity of high-level refining talent—developing the Heavenly Human Realm New Type Mysterious Armor—was restarted and gradually put back on track.

It was only after these Immortal Dynasty refiners adapted to the working environment in the industrial park that they came to realize how unexpectedly comfortable and carefree life here turned out to be, contrary to their initial assumptions about inconvenience.

The employee dormitories here provided continuous hot water and lighting 24 hours a day; just a short walk outside led to an array of shops and eateries, and goods could even be delivered to their doors free of charge upon request.

Essentially, whatever lifestyle pleasures the Immortal Dynasty boasted were also available here, with some fresh novelties unique to the park added on top.

Although prices here were higher than they had initially anticipated, Wang family’s generous monthly pay was more than adequate—not only ensuring a comfortable lifestyle but also allowing them to save a considerable sum.

This wasn’t the “penal servitude” they had feared but rather an unbelievably cushy job opportunity!

After all, while the Immortal Dynasty was immensely prosperous with countless avenues for earning money, it also suffered heavily from intense internal competition. Well-paying job openings were hotly contested, and these refiners, in their everyday struggle for such lucrative orders, often faced disdain from others.

But in Wang’s Industrial Park, those problems didn’t exist.

Everyone only handled parts of the work, with assignments ranked according to difficulty and workload. There was no need to fight for jobs—there was an endless stream of work waiting to be done, easily earning them several times the monthly salary they’d get in the Immortal Dynasty. It practically felt like heaven.

What’s more, the number of young women in the industrial park and workshops here exceeded their expectations.

The Research Institute ladies were in a league of their own—highly gifted, intelligent, and beautiful. Whether in cultivation or research, their talents stood out profoundly, resembling celestial beings: unattainable yet awe-inspiring.

Even the women in their workshops, responsible for quality inspections, record-keeping, and other logistics duties, were sharp-eyed, articulate, and stylishly dressed. They exuded a confidence and charm entirely distinct from the Immortal Dynasty’s celestial maidens.

Before long, young refiners who had been single for years due to working behind closed doors found their hearts stirred, frequently circling around these women.

As interactions increased, a few actually hit it off. Two even began discussing marriage.

This was something Wang Shouzhe had not anticipated at all.

Living so well under Wang family’s roof naturally called for some sharing (showing off) with their peers and relatives back in the Immortal Dynasty.

After one person took pen to paper, the rest followed suit as if receiving divine inspiration, sending letters to their families about how wonderful Wang family was, assuring them not to worry—or even writing to old rivals to brag about their thriving lives now, thanking them for their “exclusion” back in the days, and so on.

Additionally, these Immortal Dynasty refiners started spontaneously promoting the merits of the industrial park to newcomers, recommending hidden gems they’d stumbled upon.

This significantly eased Wang family’s workload, facilitating the newcomers’ faster adjustment to the environment, and turning these recent arrivals into new enthusiastic advocates within just a month or two.
