No One is Foolish

Li Zhi drove back to the rented house.

This house contained quite a few valuable items, including the 'Weak Level' interstellar core, the 'D6 Type Human Recovery Device', and the 77 Simple Fitness Equipment, among others. While these items could be useful if stolen, their utility was relatively limited.

The security measures in the community were effective, and there had been no reports of theft. However, it was always better to be prepared. As Li Zhi's reputation grew, he needed to plan ahead in this regard.

In addition to home security, Li Zhi felt the need to address personal defense, but he lacked the necessary manpower and was spread too thin.

Money and power always go hand in hand. When there is a certain amount of money, power follows. Once a certain level of power is attained, does money still become an issue?

This has been the case for thousands of years and is deeply ingrained in people's minds.

Entering the Sea Star at the 5th Fishing Port.

It was already night, and the stars twinkled in the sky, creating a beautiful and dazzling ambiance. At least in this known starry sky, apart from the Sea Star, there were other civilizations that could support humanity. This made it much better than Earth, which was lonely in the Milky Way within the limits of Earth's technology.

Yana looked at Li Zhi as he walked in through the door. She stood up from her chair with a stern expression and asked, "Boss, why are you back so late?"

Li Zhi looked at her, puzzled, and asked, "Did you know I left?"

"Why wouldn't I know?" Yana looked at Li Zhi in confusion. After all, the items he took with him today were all prepared by her.

"Why would you know?" Li Zhi frowned. He had always thought that the non-player characters (NPCs) in the factory world would not be curious about his departure or know where he went.

Yana looked at Li Zhi and didn't quite understand the meaning behind his words.

Li Zhi frowned and asked, "What I mean is, do you know where I went?"

"Didn't you leave the 5th Fishing Port through the 'teleportation gate'?" Yana said, feeling exasperated. She couldn't understand how she was supposed to know where Li Zhi went if she didn't follow him through the teleportation gate.

"Teleportation gate?" "Have you ever seen a teleportation gate before?" Li Zhi asked curiously.

Yana felt like a thousand grass mud horses were running wild in her heart. She didn't know what grass mud horses were or where they were running wild, but in Li Zhi's eyes, she was just an ignorant and inexperienced country bumpkin. Who wouldn't be angry in her place?

"Boss, are you doubting my abilities, or my attitude?" Yana looked at Li Zhi, asking seriously. In her eyes, Li Zhi's wealth was insufficient to earn her admiration; therefore, she saw no reason to be excessively deferential.

Li Zhi rubbed his nose and said with a wry smile, "What I mean is, do you know if there are other teleportation arrays at the 5th Fishing Port?"

Yana said expressionlessly, "Of course, not to mention interstellar teleportation, even between the ten major fishing ports on the Sea Star." Due to the long distances, teleportation arrays are often used for convenience and time-saving. However, the cost is higher compared to air travel and sea transportation. "Ordinary individuals typically opt to travel by air to various destinations unless they have urgent commitments."

Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. So, that was what she meant. He had thought she knew he had returned to Earth, which didn't belong to the world of the Sea Star.

It seemed that not everyone on the Sea Star was foolish. He would have to be more cautious in the future. Although it wasn't uncommon for extraterrestrial beings to be on the Sea Star, the issue was that Li Zhi wasn't just an extraterrestrial being; he didn't even belong to this world.

Li Zhi didn't know how the factory world came into being, and even if someone explained it to him, he wouldn't be able to understand it due to his current level of intelligence.

He only knew that this was a part of the 'Factory World Map', and he could enter this world through the 'Factory World Ring', make money here, and take the money and items out of this world.

If it weren't for the "Special Production Sites" marked on the "Factory World Map," Li Zhi's "Starry i9 Intelligent Factory System" would be rendered useless.

In other words, the Factory World Map and the Starry i9 Intelligent Factory System complemented each other, and perhaps they were even integrated.

No one could provide him with answers to these questions for the time being, and perhaps no one would tell him in the future. Many pieces of information have lost their relevance in the river of time, and there is no way to explain or reason them out. There was a significant time gap that could not be comprehended through mere 'thinking'.

"How is Ajiao doing at the hospital?" Li Zhi sat in Yana's chair and asked.

Yana didn't show any discomfort on her face. Of course, even if she was uncomfortable, it would be difficult to tell from her expression.

"She has passed the critical period, and Xinnan has sent people to guard her at the hospital." "I'm not too clear on the specific situation," Yana replied with a stern expression.

Ajiao was Xinnan's assistant, and the personal assistants were divided into two factions, with Yana and Xinnan leading each faction. Li Zhi was aware of this.

Where there are talented people, conflicts are bound to arise. Everyone wants to be in charge, but one monk cannot carry water to drink. This is the same principle.

A team requires you to perform your job effectively, trust your teammates, and aim to become an essential part of the team.

"How is the progress of the security department?" Li Zhi asked.

Is it only a few hours?

Yana rolled her eyes mentally. The establishment of the security department was not something that could be completed overnight. Even though she didn't sleep all night, she could only come up with a general plan. After that, there would be recruitment, organization, and other issues to deal with.

After all, the boss is the boss. When he's in a rage, he only cares about the results, not the process.

"I have already contacted headhunting companies and security employment agencies for personnel." The main focus will be on retired military personnel from the 5th Island, totaling around 300 people," Yana paused briefly and continued, "but it will take time. The company's security department is primarily responsible for safeguarding and defending the company's factories. Some matters also need to be coordinated with the 5th Fishing Port Security Department. Weapons, firearms, and personnel details all need to be registered. It's not something that can be done quickly!
