Star Sea Hunter

Zhou's mansion.

In a small, clean garden, Zhou Junyi was playing chess with his elder brother who was half lying on the rocking chair.

The current Patriarch, Zhou Mengde, was seriously injured in the last battle and has not yet fully recovered, his cultivation has regressed by at least half!I had to temporarily hand over power to my younger brother, so that I could rest at ease.

"Your Highness, it's time for you to take your medicine!" The maid brought up a silver bowl and whispered.

Zhou Mengde dropped the chess piece in his hand and took the silver bowl, which contained a slightly black medicinal liquid, exuding bursts of medicinal fragrance.

He took a sip, swallowed slowly, and shook his head with some discomfort: "I don't know why, but I don't like the taste of this medicine more and more!"

Zhou Junyi smiled and said: "There is no other way! It's so good, who wants to drink medicine?"

"Brother, you are the head of the family, so many people are counting on you! If you don't recover quickly, I can't bear this burden!"

Zhou Mengde sighed, closed his eyes, and drank the medicine in the bowl in one gulp!

"Didn't you come to me today just to play chess? Tell me! What's the matter?" he asked.

"That action failed!" Zhou Junyi hesitated for a moment before saying, "All the people haven't returned!"

Zhou Mengde was slightly stunned: "Failed? I remember that the child's strength is only at the twelfth level. Even if the information is wrong, he is at most a demigod! How can he deal with so many masters? Could it be that someone helped him?"

"No! He is the only one, this can be confirmed!" Zhou Junyi emphasized.

"...It seems that your original opinion was correct!" Zhou Mengde's face darkened. "This child can no longer be obliterated by force!"

Zhou Junyi immediately said: "That's right, I didn't agree with this at first! But that guy Yun Hongchang is not in the right position, and he has a ghost in his heart! He insists on pulling us together! The result? So many masters were killed and injured for nothing!"

"Actually, he is right!" Zhou Mengde sighed, "This kid's actions are indeed too much! How much profit has our Zhou family lost in the past few days? Those properties and manpower are the property of our family that we have painstakingly managed for many years. ! Now he has looted them all!"

"Moreover, I can see that the matter is not over yet! With this sharp sword, His Majesty will become more and more ambitious! The situation of the six major families will be even more difficult in the future, and all of this depends on It was caused by this child! That’s why I promised to send someone to join them in this operation!”

"Even without him! Your Majesty will find someone else, right?" Zhou Junyi somewhat disagreed with his opinion.

"That's natural! However, there are too few capable people like him!" Zhou Mengde laughed, "The royal family's prestige and strength have soared, and a considerable part of the reason is due to him! I'm afraid it will be very difficult in the great battle in Xinjiang!"

"Then what should we do now?" Zhou Junyi asked.

"Second brother, I know you admire this child very much, and even thought about pulling him into the family! But, this child has drifted away from us now, and he is not considered a stranger at all! He is only loyal to the emperor and represents the royal family. interests!" Zhou Mengde said, "That's why I agreed to Yun Hongchang's joint action last time! There is no other reason, and the interests of the family are above all else!"

"Then... since force is no longer feasible! What should we do now?"

"It's not good to be tough, so you have to be soft!" Zhou Mengde said, "Perhaps, I should let you talk to him, you have helped him before, and the relationship between each other is good, he should take some sympathy into account! "

"Of course, this kid is not mean and ungrateful! Maybe we can really reach some kind of agreement with him!" Zhou Junyi is quite confident about this.

"However, there is one more thing!" After thinking for a while, Zhou Junyi said again: "That guy Yun Hongchang sent someone to look for me today, saying that he wants to propose marriage for his son!"

"What do you think?" Zhou Mengde asked in surprise.

"Hmph! What else can I think? That guy has had bad luck recently, and his position in the family is already very unstable!" Zhou Junyi said disdainfully, "He came to ask for a marriage at this time, isn't it just to grab a life-saving straw? ?”

"I hope we can help him! So that he can continue to be his own master! Hey! What a plan!"

Zhou Mengde shook his head lightly: "Yun Hongchang still has some abilities, but his disposition tends to be dark and prey, and his desires are too heavy! It's just that he can't see some things! The cause of yesterday, the result of today! Everything is determined!"

"That kid Yunhui, I thought he was pretty good at first! But look at what he did in the last battle? Except losing troops and losing generals! There is no record at all! Such a waste still wants to marry A girl from my Zhou family? A joke!" Zhou Junyi said, "However, if it's that child Yun Haoyu, I can accept it! That girl Zhou Yiwei often mentions him!"

"You!" Zhou Mengde laughed dumbly, "What time is it! Still thinking about this?"

"I'm serious!" Zhou Junyi straightened his face and said, "The family's intelligence network recently made a major discovery! It's about the royal family's breakthrough in the field of genetic technology!"

"In the past, I only knew a general idea, but now I have more detailed information!" As he said, he took out a document and handed it to his elder brother.

Zhou Mengde took a look at it, and couldn't help but change his face: "Is this true? They have already achieved such a big advantage in the production of level [-] and level [-] gene optimization reagents?"

"Of course it's true! Our family's experimental base can produce less than their monthly output in one year! And their cost is much lower than ours! There are many other types of genetic medicines as well! Of course, This is not the worst, I heard..." Zhou Junyi lowered his voice, "I heard that they have produced a level [-] gene optimization reagent!"

"Several old antiques who are loyal to the royal family and have been stuck at the fifteenth level for many years have already used this thing. It is said that the effect is good, and they may be expected to break through to the god level! In the human world, no one can reach this level. !"

"And all of this is because they got the child's genes!"

Now, Zhou Mengde really couldn't sit still!

He got up "huh", walked around the yard a few times, and then said decisively: "Okay! I will leave this matter to you! Whatever he wants, he can be satisfied! Regarding the joint action of the six major families this time , I can personally apologize to him! And I am willing to give him enough compensation, no matter how much it costs, as long as I can get a genetic sample! It is not a disadvantage!"

The head of the family was sober-minded, and he saw the crux of the problem at once.With that child's gene, within a few years, the royal family's advantage in this aspect will be so great that it will be difficult for the six aristocratic families to parry!If you don't find a way to remedy it now, and face high-level supernatural beings who are several times, ten times more than yourself in the future, these big families will really become history!

"Okay, I understand!" Zhou Junyi said solemnly.
