How come this mage can fight better than a warrior?
Chapter 366: The 3rd Hydropower Station
After completing the inspection and condolences to the army, Long Dong immediately embarked on a journey to inspect various places in Wu State. For him, the most concerned thing was the world-renowned Xingxixiang super project.
The first phase of the Xingxixiang Super Project is to build three large-scale hydropower stations. With full expectations and responsibilities, Long Dong inspected them one by one in order.
When he arrived at the construction sites of the first two hydroelectric power stations, he saw a scene of bustling and orderly construction. Workers were busy and focused, various large-scale magic machinery was roaring, and transport vehicles were flowing continuously.
Seeing this scene, Long Dong couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, thinking to himself: "It seems that the money I invested was not wasted!"
However, when Longdong arrived at the last hydropower station, the situation was very different from before. The construction progress here was unusually slow, in sharp contrast to the previous two hydropower stations.
Long Dong frowned. He knew that there was a big problem with the construction of this hydroelectric power station. Long Dong looked at the construction site of the hydroelectric power station with sharp eyes.
Soon, Long Dong noticed some unusual signs - there were traces of a large number of monsters around the hydropower station, and the dam had obvious signs of malicious destruction by monsters. Not only that, even the workers who participated in the construction of the hydropower station had scars caused by the monsters' claws.
After some investigation and understanding, Long Dong already had a general grasp of the slow construction of the hydropower station.
Long Dong led the group, standing tall on the huge dam of the hydropower station, overlooking the entire construction site with serious and solemn expressions. The person in charge of the construction of the hydropower station saw Long Dong and others from afar and hurried over to greet them.
Long Dong looked at the person in charge who was running towards him breathlessly, without a smile on his face, and he was even too lazy to say a word of courtesy. He stared at the other person with sharp eyes like a sword, and asked directly: "I want to hear why the progress of this project is so slow?"
The person in charge of the Third Hydropower Station is named Luan Leilei. He is a bit bloated, just like a fat man. But don't underestimate him, he is a famous and powerful water conservancy expert. Not only that, he is also an earth magician with Saint-level strength.
Luan Leilei is a simple and honest person, always working silently and hard. Luan Leilei's shortcomings are that he is not good at speaking and is extremely shy. This introverted personality makes him look a bit bullied in the eyes of outsiders.
Since he was entrusted with the important task of building the third hydropower station, Luan Leilei has been working diligently and has never dared to slack off. Even in the face of numerous difficulties and pressures, he still sticks to his post and goes all out to promote the progress of the project.
In the vast land, the third hydropower station stands quietly. If this hydropower station is successfully built, it will improve the lives of tens of millions of people.
Before Longdong developed the Black Soil Plain, it was a paradise for monsters. The location of the hydropower station was the lair of short-tailed crocodiles.
When the construction of the third hydropower station officially started, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the project, the group of crocodiles were forced to leave their nests.
Forced to leave their homes where they had lived for a long time, these crocodiles were filled with resentment and dissatisfaction, especially the Short-tailed Crocodile King who possessed Saint-level strength, who was even more indignant.
The short-tailed crocodile king planned a series of revenge actions against humans, and often sent his crocodiles to cause trouble for Luan Leilei and the construction workers.
Faced with these sudden attacks, the workers suffered terribly. They had to deal with the harassment of crocodiles every day, and the progress of work was seriously affected.
Luan Leilei personally went to negotiate with the short-tailed crocodile king. However, the short-tailed crocodile king was extremely cunning. He agreed on the surface but did another thing. The short-tailed crocodile king indulged the crocodiles to do whatever they wanted.
Luan Leilei knew that he could not solve this problem by himself, so he thought of Liu Hanlong, who was on good terms with him. Liu Hanlong and Luan Leilei were both fat, so they had a very good relationship. Luan Leilei asked Liu Hanlong for help, hoping that he could help eliminate the group of short-tailed crocodiles.
Liu Hanlong readily agreed and led his army to the Third Hydropower Station. The short-tailed crocodile king sensed the danger and asked the crocodiles to hide in the deep swamp and refused to show up.
As soon as Liu Hanlong's army left, they showed their true colors again. As long as Luan Leilei was a little careless or relaxed his vigilance, this group of ferocious crocodiles would immediately swarm over and surround the hydropower station and the workers, causing them huge losses.
Luan Leilei sighed at the sight of the "fish". Luan Leilei was helpless in the face of the highly intelligent crocodiles. As the problem of short-tailed crocodiles could not be effectively solved, the progress of the Third Hydropower Station project was seriously affected, and the originally planned schedule was repeatedly delayed.
When Luan Leilei was in a state of panic, Long Dong appeared. Facing Long Dong's questioning, Luan Leilei lowered his head, his body trembling slightly, and looked submissive, not daring to say a word in response to Long Dong's questioning.
Long Dong didn't know Luan Leilei before, and knew nothing about him. Seeing Luan Leilei like this, Long Dong's anger grew stronger. Although Long Dong didn't lose his temper on the spot, anger that is not vented is the most terrifying.
Long Dong believes that a qualified manager should be responsible and capable of solving problems, rather than shrinking back and being unable to explain the reasons like Luan Leilei.
Long Dong waved his hand impatiently, signaling Luan Leilei to leave first. In his eyes, Luan Leilei had lost the qualification to continue to be in charge of this project. Not only because the construction workers were not well protected, but also because the progress of the hydropower station was unusually slow.
In Long Dong's opinion, Luan Leilei was a person who completely neglected his duties and was derelict in his responsibilities. He really didn't want to waste any more words on such a guy who was just occupying his position and doing nothing.
In the end, Long Dong made the decision without hesitation - to dismiss Luan Leilei! When the news was announced, the entire construction site was in an uproar. The construction workers were extremely shocked when they heard the news. They couldn't understand why Luan Leilei, who had been working diligently, was punished so severely by Long Dong.
Everyone was talking and discussing, but no one dared to question or plead with Long Dong. After all, Long Dong's authority was there, and no one dared to offend easily.
The news of Luan Leilei's dismissal caused an uproar. Soon, a lot of people came to Long Dong to plead for Luan Leilei, and even Wang Zhanjun wrote to Long Dong to ask what Luan Leilei had done wrong and whether it was a mistake.
The development of any thing has two sides. From Long Dong's perspective, there is nothing wrong with Long Dong's approach. But from Luan Leilei's perspective, Luan Leilei also feels quite aggrieved.
Just as everyone was pleading for Luan Leilei, Long Dongfang suddenly woke up and realized that there might be something else behind this matter. So he decided to conduct an in-depth and detailed investigation in order to trace the source and find the key to the matter.
Soon, Long Dong found the source of the conflict, the short-tailed crocodile king. Long Dong was not polite to this short-tailed crocodile king who was looking for death. Long Dong personally went out and captured him.
In addition to Taixu and Qilin, Longdong was also accompanied by the God of Praise Nisis and others.
Long Dong glanced at Nixis nonchalantly and said casually, "Nixis, do you want an alligator leather bag?"
These seemingly casual words were like a thunderclap in the ears of the short-tailed crocodile king. In an instant, the short-tailed crocodile king was frightened out of his wits. He begged for mercy.
The short-tailed crocodile king kowtowed like crazy, fearing that Long Dong would make it into a crocodile leather bag. Facing the short-tailed crocodile king's desperate pleas, Long Dong was indifferent and unmoved. Because in his eyes, a guy like the short-tailed crocodile king who had done so many evil things was not worthy of sympathy at all.
Just when Long Dong was about to get rid of the evil for the people, the short-tailed crocodile king quickly said that he wanted to redeem himself and ask Long Dong for a chance.
Long Dong stared at the short-tailed crocodile king fiercely and asked, "Why should I give you a chance?"
The short-tailed crocodile king quickly said that he was willing to do anything as long as he was not killed.
Seeing this, Long Dong thought for a moment, then said: "In this case, I will punish you crocodiles to help us build a hydroelectric power station. However, if you dare to slack off or have second thoughts, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
To ensure that everything goes well, Long Dong turned to look at Luan Leilei and whispered to him, "To prevent these crocodiles from having bad intentions, plant mental imprints on the crocodile king and several of the stronger ones. Once you find any unusual movement from them, immediately launch a mental attack and make them suffer."
Luan Leilei took the order and completed the task quickly. After doing all this, Long Dong looked at Luan Leilei and said slowly: "Although the progress of the Third Hydropower Station is so slow this time, it is largely because of the obstruction of this short-tailed crocodile king, but your responsibility cannot be shirked. However, considering your sincere attitude and responsibility, I will temporarily restore your position and let you make up for your crime. I hope you can seize this opportunity and make up for your mistakes."
Luan Leilei was filled with gratitude and immediately expressed that he would go all out and live up to Long Dong's trust. In fact, Long Dong made such a decision after careful consideration.
After all, Luan Leilei is indeed a rare talent. It would be a pity to abandon him. Giving him a chance now will not only motivate him to work harder, but will also be beneficial to the entire Xingxixiang Project.
