[155] Family rank

The next morning, Xie Feng and the others got up to wash up, Xiaoqin was ready to eat breakfast, and after everyone had breakfast, the housekeeper Zhou Yi sent a subordinate and walked in from outside the courtyard.

Seeing Xie Feng and the others, the young man said, "Young Master Xie Feng, the chief steward has sent a little one to take you around the Zhou family's territory casually, so that you can have a better understanding of the Zhou family's situation." ”

Xie Feng smiled, "Then it's troublesome for the little brother, dare to ask the little brother's surname?" ”

The so-called following the local customs, coming to this place that is very similar to ancient China, Xie Feng's tone of speech has also changed a little, and he tries to integrate into this world as much as possible.

The little servant's name is Zhou Fu, who is also a member of the Zhou family and a distant relative of Zhou Yi. Wearing a standard housekeeping suit and a hat, he looks quite smart.

A group of people walked out of the courtyard with Zhou Fu, and the imaginary hovering car did not appear, but was replaced by a sturdy black horse. Seeing that Xie Feng and the others were a little surprised, Zhou Fu hurriedly explained: "Young Master Xie Feng, we are no better here than your hometown, the energy spar is simply a luxury for ordinary small families, except for fighting with other families or going out to other planets, otherwise they will not be used indiscriminately." ”

When Xie Feng and the others heard him say this, they were immediately relieved.

In fact, this situation is similar to the earth, in this world, all kinds of resources are basically monopolized by various empires, and ordinary people need to pay a huge amount of money if they want to obtain it, and they still get relatively low-level energy. The same is true on the earth, all kinds of high-level energy sources are controlled by the Xie Empire and the Earth Federation, ordinary people or mecha companies can only get energy crystals such as C-level and B-level, and those above the * level are generally not sold to the outside world.

Xie Feng looked at the sky of the king, although the luminous planet in this world felt that the light was very strong, but there was not much energy contained in it, and it was impossible to obtain C-grade energy crystals by absorbing solar radiation energy like the sun on the earth.

At this point, Xie Feng and the Zhuoqila people could feel him evenly, after all, the cultivation secret method of the Zhuoqila people could absorb external energy through spiritual power. The energy contained in the sun's rays is much stronger than that of this luminous planet.

"Hehe, maybe I can bring C-grade solar crystals here to sell them in exchange for rare resources unique to this world in the future." Xie Feng suddenly thought in his heart, and felt that this was a very good attention.

"Young Master Xie Feng, do you know how to ride a horse?" Zhou Fu suddenly asked, he had already learned through Zhou Yi that Xie Feng and the others were from other worlds, maybe there were no horses there, or a big man like Xie Feng had a special car in and out, where had he ridden a horse.

Xie Feng was curious and asked, "Brother Xiaofu, do you have no other power energy here except for the energy crystal?" For example, motor vehicles, automobiles, etc. ”

"Cars? Motor vehicle? Zhou Fu looked dazed, "Young Master Xie Feng is talking about things from your hometown, we don't have them here." ”

Khan seemed to see that the Penglai Empire was really too far off from the real interstellar era, and he asked again: "Don't you even have more advanced electronic products here?" ”

There are still things like electricity in the Zhou family, such as the lighting facilities in the yard, which are electronic products. But apart from the electric light, Xie Feng really didn't see any other electronic products.

Zhou Fu saw the unbelievable expressions on Xie Feng and the others' faces, and smiled awkwardly, "There are electronic products, but that kind of thing can only be played by rich people or powerful families and forces, after all, electronic products also need energy crystals to drive, and our Zhou family has not had the luxury to use those meaningless things." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Our Zhou family is not bad, at least in our territory, we all have such things as electric lights. Our Zhou family's territory is so large, we have to consume an energy spar a year, some weak families, in addition to the clan compound, other places still use oil lamps. ”

"Damn, dare to love us, we've come to the primitive era." The tower finally couldn't help but say this.

Xie Feng smiled and said nothing, he finally understood something now. The Shatala Galaxy is so huge, how could it be that there are no power crystals? It's just that there are too many races and countries here, and there are too many people, which makes the per capita possession very rare, and in summary, whether it is the Earth, the Moon Dragon Planet, or the Dragon Galaxy, it is much better than the situation here.

In this world, energy is very tight.

There was a question that Xie Feng didn't understand, why did the people here have already entered the interstellar age, but they didn't march into the more distant universe? In the universe, there seem to be quite a few ownerless resource planets. Even if it's a few, it's better than staying here and hundreds of empires

At this time, I heard Zhou Fu sigh in a low voice, "Compared with the Western Star Domain, we are really poor enough, the planet over there in the Western Star Domain is very rich in energy resources, there is no comparison, Ladies and gentlemen, get on the horse, if you can't ride, I'll go and change the carriage for you." ”

Xie Feng had ridden a horse in the game, and with his strength, even if he didn't, it was easy to learn. He turned his head to look at the others, and Shelotemetheus smiled, "What's so hard about harnessing such a weak creature?" The tower, who had played with horses in the army, nodded, "Can ride"

Carter looked indifferent, "No problem." ”

The rest of the Zoqira people said that it was not a problem, after all, the strength was there, could they not tame a mother? Not to mention Anlunt and others, horses and tigers can all be ridden.

Xie Feng smiled and said to Gao Ta, "Gao Ta, you teach them the essentials of horseback riding. Then he walked up to a group of tall black horses, stroked their manes, rolled over, rode up with ease, and grasped the reins to settle down.

The others first looked at the movements of the tower, and after listening to his explanation, they also turned over with great interest and became familiar with it, saying that there was no problem at all.

Zhou Fu saw that Xie Feng and the others had all got on the horse, and he rode on it himself, and then said, "Young Master Xie Feng, then let's go."

"Okay" Xie Feng nodded, kicked his legs slightly, and the horse obediently took a step and walked forward. Although the other people's movements were a little rusty, with their strong strength and various special abilities, they also urged the mounts under them to chase after them.

In the distance, on top of a three-story building, the eyes of Zhou Changkong and the elders of the Zhou family did not take back until Xie Feng and the others rode out of the courtyard.

"Changkong, these people don't seem to be simple, all of them are athletic." Second Elder Zhou Tong said.

Zhou Changkong nodded, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have left them behind, you haven't had close contact with that young man named Xie Feng, his words and deeds are calm, atmospheric, and give people a feeling of being in the top position for a long time." This young man and his subordinates are not simple."

"Are they really from Outer Space?" Sixth Elder Zhou Han said curiously.

Zhou Changkong shook his head lightly, "I can't be sure, but listening to what Xie Feng said, it is indeed very possible." ”

"If that's the case, it would be great if they could take us out of this galaxy," Zhou Qing sighed on the side.

The others glanced at him, and Second Elder Zhou Tong smiled and said, "If we could go out, our Hongmeng Galaxy would have dominated the universe long ago." Saying this, everyone laughed bitterly, these things are not their turn to think about it at all.

……

Among the three continents of the Tiantang Planet, the continent where the Zhou family is located is the largest, among which there are two families that are not weaker than the Zhou family, the Fang family and the Ling family, with aquatic products and tea products as their main income.

The territory of the Zhou family is quite large, with a total of eleven cities, just like ancient China, each city is lined with shops and pedestrians on the streets, which is quite prosperous.

Xie Feng and the others are located in the largest main city of the Zhou family, where traders from other families and even other planets can often be seen, they take hovering cars, driving back and forth on the streets, purchasing aquatic products, tea, crops and so on that are abundant in the Zhou family.

Riding horses and walking for a long time, Xie Feng and the others just walked around half of the city, listening to Zhou Fu's explanation on the side, and they also had a more comprehensive understanding of the general situation of the Zhou family.

All in all, in addition to growing crop products to feed their clansmen, such a family basically relies on the specialties of the planet to obtain income and use it to build a territory. In the laws of the Penglai Empire, the family is divided into nine classes, and the first-class families are basically the powerful people in the kingdom, and the super power like the emperor's relatives and relatives.

With the current power of the Zhou family, it only belongs to the seventh rank. If you want to increase the level of the family, you can use two ways, the first is war, when a ninth-rank family feels that the strength is enough, they can challenge the first-class family.

This kind of war for family level promotion has always been very cruel, because after every war, the casualties will be very heavy, and even if you are successfully promoted, it is very difficult to recover within three years. And if you can't recover within three years, then wait to be challenged by other families, everyone knows how to pick soft persimmons.

In such a war, if the high-level side loses, under normal circumstances, it is just that the territory is occupied and the level is weakened, and there is still a chance to turn the tables. And once the weaker side is defeated, the situation is very bad, and it cannot help but be demoted by two levels in a row, and most of the land will be divided equally between the victorious side and the country.

Such a bloody promotion method, if it is not for a family with a deep hatred, it will generally not be adopted. Challenges often outweigh the losses, and such lessons abound throughout history.

Another way is to participate in the decennial family force ranking competition, get excellent results in the competition, get a higher ranking, you can get the king's reward, get more back covers, so as to improve the family level and expand the family power. Basically, many families get the family promotion in this way, so that they develop stronger and stronger.

Hearing Zhou Fu talk about the family force ranking competition, Gao Ta became interested, and urged him to step forward and ask: "Xiao Fuzi, do you want to use a battleship to compete in the family force ranking competition?" Wouldn't that kill a lot of people? ”

Zhou Fu obviously knew something about this, he shook his head and said: "Of course, it is not a battleship to compare, the competition is divided into two kinds, one is a civil fight, and the other is a martial fight. ”

"Oh? How does Wendou fight, and how does Wudou fight? Xie Feng also became interested and asked. Yesterday, I saw Zhou Changkong smash the table made of black iron and wood with one palm, obviously this world uses a unique force system, and it is even very likely that there will be such a thing as martial arts.

Zhou Fu smiled and explained to Xie Feng and the others: "As for Wendou, each family sends five members to conduct tactical deduction, and then compares the deduced tactics with the opponent's tactics on the computer, and the side that completely destroys the opponent is the winner." ”

"And the martial arts are more enjoyable, almost once every ten years in the Penglai Empire, at that time, each family will send five warriors to participate in the martial arts competition supervised by the kingdoms of each country. Participating families will be rewarded for their excellent results in the competition. ”

"For example, our Zhou family, the last time in the martial arts competition, the warrior we sent achieved the eleventh place in the C-level family competition, if we get a higher score this time, we will be rewarded accordingly. If we get into the top three, we can be promoted to the sixth-class family, if we get the first, then our Zhou family will be developed, not only promoted to the sixth-class, but also have the opportunity to participate in the B-level family competition, the higher the ranking, the more generous the rewards will be, if you reach the top five, you will be directly promoted to the fifth-class family, and you will be promoted to the top three, and you will be promoted to the fourth-class. ”

Xie Feng was curious and asked, "Then if the Zhou family has a genius and kills all the way, wouldn't it be able to advance to the first-class family?" ”

Zhou Fu shook his head and smiled, "How can it be so easy, even if there is a once-in-a-century martial arts wizard in our Zhou family, but there are no beneficial exercises, and the strength cannot be the opponent of those powerful families......"

Next, Zhou Fu explained to Xie Feng and others about the situation of the martial arts competition and the level of force in this world.

After listening, Xie Feng, Shelotmetheus and the others learned that even if the Penglai Empire entered the interstellar era, it was still a world where force was respected. In this country, there are all kinds of sects, with thousands of strange cultivation techniques.

As in the middle, in this country that advocates individual force, there are countless masters, and the strongest are overwhelming. Although Zhou Fu seemed to be exaggerating, Xie Feng and the others understood one thing, that is, martial arts really existed

I don't know anywhere else, but it's like this in the Penglai Empire, as long as you have talent, as long as your body is well-equipped, you can learn all kinds of exercises, or cultivate external force, or cultivate internal force. There are strong and weak exercises, and what kind of exercises to learn determines what kind of strength a person has.

Ordinary forces that can establish a family will pass down a set of exercises from their ancestors, otherwise it is impossible for ordinary families to develop into a force like the Zhou family. And if ordinary people want to obtain the exercises, they will have to work their own, as long as they are accepted as disciples by various sects in the empire, they will have the opportunity to learn martial arts.

After some conversation, Xie Feng and Gao Ta felt the deepest, because they all knew that this kind of thing would only appear in the middle of the world, and they didn't expect that in the Penglai Empire, there was really such a thing as martial arts and internal strength

Gao Ta was a little excited, because although he had the ability of spiritual power, but his physical strength was not strong, if he could learn martial arts and cultivate internal strength, then wouldn't he become a super master? So he hurriedly asked: "Xiaofuzi, where is your Zhou family's martial arts training ground, take us to see it, Lao Tzu also wants to learn martial arts, haha"

Speaking of the Zhou family's martial arts training ground, Zhou Fu immediately frowned, glanced at Xie Feng and the others with some vigilance, and said solemnly: "Everyone, the Martial Pavilion is the most important and confidential place of each family, not to mention you, even our own Zhou family, if we don't have cultivation talent, it is impossible to get one step closer, let alone learn from our Zhou family's exercises, you better dispel this idea."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Fu's face changed as soon as he said it, and what else did Gao Ta want to say, Xie Feng immediately stretched out his hand to hold him, and then smiled at Zhou Fu: "Hehe, Brother Xiaofu, don't mind, my brother asked this question because he didn't know the moment." When we first arrived in the treasure land, there were many unclear points, and we had to trouble Brother Fu to explain it to us more, so that we people would not be confused, say things that should not be said, and do things that should not be done. ”

Hearing Xie Feng say this, Zhou Fu was immediately relieved, after all, he was an outsider, and it was normal not to know these rules, the vigilant look on his face immediately dispersed, and said with a smile: "Xie Feng is really a sensible person, okay, I'll tell you about those places in the Zhou family that you can go to, and those places can't be close, so that you won't be ignorant if you touch a nail in the future." ”

After a pause, Zhou Fu said carefully: "In our Zhou family, without the order of the patriarch, the family compound is not allowed to be close, the family martial pavilion is not close, the family warehouse is not close, the family military base is not close, and the martial artist VIP pavilion enshrined by the family is not allowed to be close. ”

"What is an enshrined martial artist?" Towers couldn't help but interject.

"The enshrined martial artists are the martial artists invited back from outside by our Zhou family, these martial artists are all distinguished guests, they can't be offended, they are not only responsible for teaching our family's disciples, but they may even help our family compete in the family martial arts ranking competition once every ten years."

After listening to Zhou Fu's explanation, Xie Feng and the others learned another piece of information, that is, each family will find a way to hire a martial artist from the outside world or the martial arts sect at a high price, so as to help the family train their children to practice martial arts, and even participate in the family martial arts ranking competition, and their status is extremely noble.

The stronger the strength of the family, the more favorable the conditions offered, and the more powerful martial artists can be hired. Some small sects in the Penglai Empire use this as their main source of income, and as for those powerful sects, they will not look at a seventh-rank family like the Zhou family.

Of course, if the people of the Zhou family accidentally saved an injured super master, then it would be impossible to soar from now on, and this kind of bridge is countless.
