You Call This A D-Level Ability?

"I heard you awakened your ability?"

Qin Lan raised the tea lightly and said lightly, "When did it happen?"

"Not long ago." Qin Ze looked at his "father" in front of him and responded in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

Since he returned to the Qin family, he has only seen Qin Lan a handful of times.

Every time he stood in front of him, an invisible sense of oppression would rush towards him, making him feel very uncomfortable.

In addition, there is no sense of blood closeness at all, the two of them are like strangers.

"Yeah." Qin Lan said calmly and did not continue to ask in detail.

He put down the teacup in his hand and waved.

The butler next to him immediately came forward with a box and handed it to Qin Ze.

"I heard that you defeated Qin Yun head-on during the test and achieved first place." Qin Lan's voice came, "This is your reward."

The housekeeper opened the box, and Qin Ze also saw what was inside.

There are three Lanzhu stones worth eight million dragon coins, placed in a "pin" shape, with a black bank card placed in the middle.

Lanzhu Stone is a high-grade material in the virtual world. It is rare in quantity and contains powerful energy.

As long as you hold it in your hand and feel it, you can greatly increase your perception of natural elements.

For those with energy transformation abilities, this is definitely an excellent training resource.

For some awakened people in the mountain realm, if they can obtain a Lanzhu stone, they are very likely to realize and touch the threshold of the peak realm.

For those who are awakened below the mountain level, it can also greatly improve their practice progress and their own energy intensity.

"Over the years, the family has not given you and your mother any subsidies." Qin Lan continued, "There are 30 million dragon coins in this card, which can be regarded as a reward for your ranking this time."

Qin Ze looked at the reward in the box quietly and suddenly felt how different the world was.

In Lincheng, even a senior technician who has worked hard for decades can barely afford a pigeonhouse worth four to five million.

Many residents in [slum areas] have to work all their lives and can barely make ends meet.

But for the Qin family, which has grabbed a lot of manpower and resources, tens of millions of dragon coins are just a reward for a random test.

It's no wonder that so many awakened people choose to join the family consortium instead of going to the awakened person academy.

Void hunters fight to the death outside every day, fighting to protect the Dragon Kingdom. If they want to earn tens of millions of dragon coins, they will encounter several life-and-death crises.

When you join the Qin family, you will not only get generous rewards, but the probability of encountering danger is also very low.

But if everyone thinks like this, the awakened people will all be monopolized by a few major family consortiums, and who will protect the other residents of the Dragon Kingdom?

At this moment, Qin Ze once again deeply realized how alienated his family was from people.

The four major families and the three major conglomerates are definitely cancers that need to be cured in the Long Kingdom.

But these cancerous tumors are getting bigger and bigger. Cutting them off at this time will only seriously damage the vitality of the Dragon Kingdom.

"No, I don't need these." Qin Ze did not take the box.

At least for him, he believes that these resources are not what he deserves, but are obtained by the Qin family through continuous exploitation of the people.

He was unwilling to bear this injustice.

"Hmph..." Qin Lan snorted softly, the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily, and then he waved his hand.

The butler immediately locked the box again and turned around to retreat.

"Do you think it would be fair if you don't accept these rewards?" Qin Lan spoke softly, looking at Qin Ze with a half-smile.

"At least for me, I feel guilty about accepting these gifts." Qin Ze did not explain much, and did not intend to argue with Qin Lan.

Then, he just bowed slightly and turned to leave.

Qin Lan did not stop him, but when Qin Ze came to the gate, he said calmly: "It's my birthday in three days."

"It's going to be done here, remember to come."

…

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Soon, the Qin family decorated the entire manor with lanterns and decorations in an extremely extravagant manner.

This day is the 50th birthday of Qin Lan, the head of the Qin family.

At that time, several major family consortiums and even the government will send important officials to congratulate him on his birthday.

In any case, the Qin family provided a large amount of tax revenue to the government, and on the surface, several major families still obeyed the government's orders.

Therefore, the government will also give the Qin family enough respect.

Late at night, in the Qin family's banquet hall, Qin Ze also put on a luxurious dress and leaned against the wall alone to watch the event.

The entire banquet hall is decorated with various luxury goods, and a random lamp is worth hundreds of thousands of dragon coins.

Not to mention those decorations made of crystal diamonds, tables and chairs made of high-grade wood.

Even the carpet under your feet is made of the furs of rare animals.

All kinds of dignitaries and famous families gathered here.

Among them, the sons and daughters from other family consortiums also came to celebrate.

For them, this is not only a birthday celebration, but also a social banquet.

Among these young people, Qin Ze still attracted the attention of many girls and even young women even though he was standing in the corner.

They all came to "get to know" Qin Ze with glasses of wine, but they were all rejected by Qin Ze with a smile, and they could only leave with unwilling eyes.

All kinds of beautiful women kept coming to Qin Ze's side, which naturally aroused the jealousy of his peers in the Qin family.

Qin Yun was still recuperating at home because he was seriously injured, so he did not come to the banquet.

Qin Ze also saw familiar figures like Qin Chuan and Qin Yi among the crowd.

Snapped!

Suddenly, several lights lit up in the banquet hall, and they all turned to the high platform in the front.

The exchanges among the people gradually slowed down. Looking at the host of the banquet, Qin Lan walked to the stage.

He was not angry, but there was an overwhelming pressure just standing there.

Then, he picked up the microphone, scanned the audience, and said calmly: "First of all, I would like to welcome you all to come to my birthday banquet and congratulate me on my birthday."

"A hundred years have passed since the death of my ancestor of the Qin family. Under his protection, our Qin family has worked hard, abided by our duties, cooperated with the government seriously, and developed the economy of Lincheng."

"Lincheng has lived up to the government's expectations and has successfully become the top three cities in the Dragon Kingdom, almost becoming the commercial center of the Dragon Kingdom."

"To this end, the government's cultivation, the efforts of the people of Lincheng, and the collaborative work of the Qin family are all indispensable."

These hypocritical and polite words made Qin Ze show a little disdain in his eyes.

After a few more simple words of thanks, Qin Lan continued, "...Fifteen years have passed since I succeeded as the head of the Qin family."

"In the past fifteen years, I have worked a lot for the Qin family, and I suddenly feel exhausted mentally and physically, and my body is getting worse every year."

"With the help of this birthday banquet, I also want to announce something to you."

Everyone in the audience looked at the stage curiously. They did not expect that there would be such exciting news during this birthday banquet.

Qin Lan paused for a few seconds, then raised the phone and said in a calm tone: "I have chosen the next head of the Qin family, who is also my heir."

Upon hearing these words, most of the Qin family's pupils dilated and looked at the stage in disbelief. They did not expect that Qin Lan would suddenly announce such a thing at this time.

Qin Ze's heart also jumped suddenly, and he felt a sense of unease for no reason.

"In as little as a few days or as long as three months, I will step down as the head of the family and let a new heir take over." Qin Lan continued, "At that time, I will coach the new head of the family from behind the scenes to make the Qin family more and more prosperous. The better.”

After saying all this, his eyes suddenly passed through the crowd and locked directly on Qin Ze's face in the corner.

Looking at Qin Ze's surprised and shocked eyes, he curled his lips and said without any doubt: "This new head of the family is my only son."

"Qin Ze."
