"These lifeforms are interesting. They're completely different from what we expected."
As a Life-type main god, Lu PingAn now had research departments numbered one through thirteen under his command. That was after he repeatedly demanded streamlining and merging divisions with overlapping research directions wherever possible.
Within each individual research department, there were often dozens of research divisions and groups. They operated with relative freedom, and there were so many projects that even Lu PingAn knew about only a very few of them.
Did such an enormous research team cost a fortune? That brought up the operating mechanism behind the Courtyard's internal research programs.
"I've received at least seven completely different research reports. Their focus and research priorities all differ. Four mention that their work is extremely important to our development, while three claim that a single mistake could destroy the world. If you're going to scam funding, at least come up with some new lines. I hope your report has something fresh."
"Damn, they moved fast. The First Batch of verification reports isn't even out yet, and they've already started filing fraudulent reports. Ahem, I mean, their findings do have some reference value, but when it comes to the materials science report you need, us alchemists are the real professionals."
Miss Lu, whose physical appearance had changed very little, patted her equally unchanged chest. While making her peers somewhat unhappy, she tried her best to persuade the sucker—her "investor."
Life-type High-Level Professionals and researchers, particularly those in the Logistics Department, tended not only to band together, but also to devote themselves to a particular deity.
Just like the various pharmaceutical and forestry companies under Lady Lin whom Lu PingAn had encountered back then, there might well have been some Life-type Professional of the law or even Rule-level behind them.
