Chapter 124: Bait I
After lunch, after saying goodbye to Yu Xin'er, Xiao Junling went to Zhou Lingfeng's residence again.
After being confined by his teacher for a month, his daily routine of treatment had to be interrupted, and now he has regained his freedom, and this agreement still has to be fulfilled.
No matter what the high-level Zhou family thought, the last time he went to the palace to negotiate and rescue him, this peak powerhouse of the Zhou family also contributed, which made Xiao Junling have a good impression of him in his heart.
The effect of the fifth-order "Vitality Radiation" was naturally enhanced a lot, which made Zhou Lingfeng admire. According to his estimates, if this ability can be upgraded to the seventh order in the future, maybe it is really possible to completely heal his injuries.
At that time, the hidden worries of the head of the Zhou family will no longer exist, even considering the complexity and danger of the Wild Star Domain Exploration War, at least for a hundred years, the Zhou family will no longer have to worry about the fault of high-end force. And such a long time is enough for a new generation of peak powerhouses to grow up.
Therefore, for a hero like him, the reward of the family leaders is extremely generous, Zhou Jiyuan not only ordered to provide him with various resource treatment according to the standard of the strongest in the Star Realm every month, but also selected sixteen super-grade resource planets from the overseas territories belonging to the Zhou family, assigned their permanent ownership to his name, and appointed someone to take care of it, and the income obtained every year will be automatically credited to his bank account.
For this young genius who is gradually beginning to shine brightly, the senior management of the Zhou family has become more and more aware of the urgency and necessity of absorbing him into the family! If he can successfully become a member of the family, then the process of the family's future expansion of overseas territories will be greatly accelerated, and the various lucrative benefits expected to be obtained are innumerable. As a result, the status of this wealthy family in the imperial capital may be raised to a new height!
Of course, if the family's plan falls through and he is eventually defeated by some hostile force, the outcome of the matter will certainly not be so good.
Therefore, Zhou Jiyuan left a hand and ordered Zhou Meng's twin sister to stay in the imperial capital, once his sister's efforts failed, his sister would continue to do so, and let him enter the family and truly become a part of the family no matter what.
It's just that the relationship between Xiao Junling and the princess of the Zhou family has not made substantial progress for a long time, and the news has gradually spread in the upper circles of the imperial capital. Many wealthy families have already seen the opportunity and began to consider contacting this genius to test whether there is a possibility of digging into the wall, so there is an invitation issued by Zuo Shiji on behalf of the family.
The intentions of the Zhou family, Xiao Junling knew it; He could also understand the plans of the other families. It's just that he really doesn't have the slightest interest in these things.
His future path can only be in his own hands, and no force or individual can force him to make a choice that goes against his heart, no matter how generous the conditions they give!
After the treatment, Xiao Junling returned to Xichen Qinglan's residence, remembering that there was no public class this afternoon, which meant that he had half a day to spend freely.
After thinking about it for a while, he already had an idea in his heart, and set off to go to the material management center of the Silent Star Temple, used his authority to exchange a batch of items, and then asked Lan Ya for a small personal spaceship, leaving the temple headquarters and flying towards the surface of the planet.
The small spaceship dragged the blazing white tail flame in the vast sea of clouds, the golden sun hung in the sky, the blazing sunlight shone in through the crystal porthole, and after the automatic adjustment of the light filter system in the spaceship, the fall on his body has become extremely soft.
Soon, the height of the spaceship has dropped under the clouds, and above the bustling city, a large group of small flying machines cover the sky and the sun, and from time to time you can see the supernatural people who are floating in the air with their own strength, and some over-energetic teenagers are driving various styles of flying cars, enthusiastically racing in the sky above the city, and occasionally causing the interference of the air crew system because of speeding.
All kinds of familiar ground landscapes are vivid, as if it were yesterday.
Thinking back to the beginning, in the days when he was cultivating in the Temple of the Silent Star, he was as enthusiastic and flamboyant as them, wantonly swaying his youth. After a few years, he has been able to come back, but he has no more.
Xiao Junling sighed secretly in his heart, saw that he had arrived at his destination, and then manipulated the spaceship to land.
Walking out of the hatch, two uniformed biochemical ground crews immediately greeted him, he handed over his identity card, and after checking that it was correct, a taxi slid silently, and the door opened automatically, picking him up.
In the interstellar age, when spaceships and flying cars had long been popularized on a large scale, there were large-scale public take-off and landing docking bases in every city, and ordinary civilian aircraft were basically parked here. Of course, those rich people generally have independent take-off and landing venues, and they will not come to this kind of place.
In the car, he named his destination, the driver nodded, and the car took off into the air and headed for the slum on the west side of the city.
"This little brother, the security environment in the west of the city is quite poor, and many ghosts who don't even have labor visas are nesting there, and those guys are lawless! You go alone, but be careful. ”
The driver was a middle-aged uncle with a scruffy beard, and his facial features were of some foreign origin, and he kindly reminded while driving.
"Xie Lu Xie, I know what kind of place it is, but don't worry, I have a way to protect myself!" Xiao Junling said with a smile.
With some time to go, he chatted with the talkative-looking driver, and learned that he was from the Special Dominion of Pakistan, a subsidiary of the Empire, who had been receiving a red card for many years, that his family was working in the imperial capital, that the eldest child had already served in the Imperial Legion, and that the remaining two children had not yet graduated from college.
Thanks to the Empire's generous social welfare system, the family lived a happy life, although not particularly wealthy, but it was better to be happy and worry-free.
During the conversation, this uncle's understanding of Chinese culture and his sense of identity with the empire even surprised him.
However, it is not difficult to understand that as early as the era of the Red Empire on Earth, the relationship between this country and China was unusually close, no matter how sinister the international situation at that time, they were unswervingly on the side of Huaxia, and they were one of the few hardcore allies of Huaxia at that time. It's not at all comparable to the ungrateful, white-eyed wolf-like Goryeo and Baiyue ilk.
After entering the interstellar era, because this country has maintained good relations with the Chinese Empire as always, it has also received the greatest preferential treatment from the imperial government after voluntarily merging into the empire, and the political status of all citizens is almost the same as that of imperial citizens, and as long as they live on any planet of the empire for three years, they can automatically obtain the qualification of legal citizens of the empire and become the envy of the ghosts.
“…… I heard that there is another fight in the south? The central government of the empire is ready for war, those hateful Northern Hell People, our legion must give those guys a little color this time! The driver's uncle, named Jarif, said angrily.
"Of course, they'll pay the price!" He agrees with authenticity.
The destination arrived quickly, and the enthusiastic Uncle Jarif insisted on only half of the money, and left a communication contact code, saying that he could find him as long as he traveled and took a car in the future, Xiao Junling accepted his kindness with a smile.
"Mingxiong" bar, located in the middle of the slum, is also quite large in this area, so the business is extremely hot.
Even if it dates back to the age of the earth, the bar is one of the places that are frequented by people of all kinds in human society, and its functions have evolved from the original drinking and rest to a super hodgepodge of secret transactions, conspiracy, intelligence gathering and trafficking, assassination, smuggling, **, and even troublemaking and fighting.
Xiao Junling lightly looked at the hot and eye-catching advertising nude and female stereoscopic images at the gate, ignored the idlers who had nothing to do and showed fierce eyes by the steps, and stepped into the main entrance.
When a group of scantily clad and bewitching maids saw this handsome, fair-skinned, and unusually beautiful young man walk in, their eyes couldn't help but light up, and they rushed over to talk attentively, and rubbed their huge plump breasts on him intentionally or unintentionally.
"Okay, you damn sluts and goods, save your energy to hook up with those rich uncles! Don't mess with my little friend! ”
Niu Junda, the owner of the bar, who had already seen him, dropped the wine glass in his hand, shouted loudly to push the maids away, and at the same time rushed over to give him a warm hug.
"Aha! God bless you! My dear friend," Niu Junda said with a smile and patted him on the shoulder, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, you must have brought me good news this time, right?" ”
"Of course, there is a lot of good news," Xiao Junling said quietly, "Let's talk slowly in another place!" ”
"Hey! Of course this is no problem," Niu Junda rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "I just know that you won't let me down!" ”
He diligently led Xiao Junling into the secret door behind the counter, walked more than 100 meters along a road that had been around for a few years and exuded a faint damp atmosphere, turning around, and finally arrived in an almost closed stone room more than ten minutes later.
The area of the stone room is not very large, about nearly 100 square meters, but the furnishings inside are extremely luxurious, and it is in Chinese style. He looked at it roughly for a while, not to mention anything else, the value of the jade-textured landscape ink painting screen alone was not something he, the bar owner, could afford.
"You may be seated! The environment here is rough, there are no good things to entertain, and I hope you will bear with me! Niu Junda invited him to sit down on the antique rosewood Taishi chair, and beckoned the maid to serve tea.
The sound of subtle footsteps came from behind the screen, and two beautiful girls with bright eyes and bright teeth, blonde hair and snow skin, dressed in classical Hanfu, walked out, came to him and gave a salute, and then put the white porcelain tea cup in the tray in his hand and the various melon kernel snacks on the coffee table beside him.
