The Fuguangya have low reproductive ability and have to find other ways to continue the life of the group. Forcibly optimizing one's own genes and mixing into the genes of another race has become the norm in the society of the Floating Light Asians. But in the study of this tendency to optimize fertility, they found that the physical fitness of the new population inevitably weakened. If only the weakening of their own abilities can still tolerate it, but even the lifespan will be shortened, which will make many powerful families begin to question whether this research direction is reasonable!

In fact, in the past, the reproductive ability of the Fuguangya people was not as low as it is now. And when the research on "longevity" has achieved certain results, the reproductive ability of the ethnic group has become more and more low. At first, the nobles didn't care very much, after all, they had lived so long that they could always leave a son and a half daughter in the long years. But the cruelty of the truth did not compromise because the Floating Light Asia people were a high-level civilization, and ruthlessly shattered the extravagant hopes in the hearts of all the Floating Light Asians!

Pure-blooded Fuguangya generally live around 200 years, and experience has shown that once they exceed this age, they are no longer capable of having children. In fact, the best period for Fuguangya to have children is between the ages of 30 and 120, beyond which there is basically no possibility of natural fertility. But the development of science and technology allows them to leave children through other methods, but after the age of 200, it is not easy to do anything.

Upon realizing this problem, the Fuguangya immediately forbade the nobles who had no heirs from taking the elixir of longevity. It's a pity that it's too late at this time, and the elixir of life has already penetrated into all corners of the Fuguang subhuman society, and even began to affect their genetics. What's even more chilling is that the influence of the elixir of longevity is also divided into levels, and the higher the nobility, the deeper the influence, until it leads to fewer and fewer high-level noble heirs!

For this reason, the nobles who had no heirs in the upper echelons had to desperately find a way to keep them for themselves. Because of this, there are measures for various groups with outstanding fecundity to enter the Fuguangya civilization, and the upper nobles of the Fuguangya have to start to compromise with the lower nobles, allowing a small number of mixed-race Fuguangya to enter the core of power. But there are always exceptions, and some conservative pure-blood nobles are still insisting on continuing their descendants and keeping their bloodlines pure through traditional methods - and the Duke of Fuguang in front of the morning plane is the representative of this aspect!

Chenping didn't know the name and age of this duke, only that he was a pure-blooded nobleman of the Fuguang people, and his family crest was the most alternative "darkness" among the Fuguang people. However, it is conceivable that a nobleman who can openly use darkness as a family crest must enjoy a very noble position among the Floating Light Asians.

"That's what I promised you!" In the darkness, a dull box was delivered to Chenping's hands.

"It's only been a month, and the results are coming so quickly?" Chenping didn't expect the Duke to come to him so soon, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"I need more potions, here's a deposit!" The duke's hoarse voice sounded in the darkness, and another box appeared in front of Chenping.

"My lord, I'm afraid this is a bit difficult!" Hearing this, Chenping frowned slightly, and seriously refused: "Presumably the adults have already checked the potion, but the potion, which is an unattainable treasure, is not something that I can take out if I want to!" ”

"You might as well open it up and take a look at it first!" The Duke said patiently.

Hearing this, Chenping casually opened the first box, only to see a card emitting a faint light inside. After the inspection, Chenping did not have the slightest look of surprise. It was a bearer Galaxy Coin cash card worth tens of billions, which was exactly the amount that the Duke promised himself that day.

"Am you asking too low?" Seeing that the other party paid ten times the price to himself so happily, Chenping's heart couldn't help but feel a little confused.

At the beginning, Chenping was not very interested in this kind of transaction, but found a customer who was willing to pay on the Internet, and gave the other party a bottle of the medicine he accidentally obtained. thought that this was a one-time transaction, and it was unknown whether he could catch up with the other party, after all, he didn't have the confidence in the medicine in his heart. But I didn't expect the other party to be so attentive, and once again came to the door to pay off the previous account, and continued to ask for goods!

"What is this?" Chenping opened the second box and when he saw the contents of it, he suddenly had a burst of doubt.

"This is the elven tree species!" The Duke said indifferently: "As for what can be planted, it depends on your luck!" ”

"Lord Duke, I don't understand what you mean?" Chenping became more and more confused: "This thing may be very precious, but it is of no use to me!" ”

"Looks like you don't know what this thing is really for!" The duke's tone became a little sarcastic, and he said, "Every tree species of the elven clan is rare, and if it weren't for the fact that I had cultivated a tree of life, I would never have given it to you." ”

"......" The other party obviously used his useless things as a deposit, and he actually said it so high-soundingly, Chenping couldn't help but be speechless for a while when he heard this.

"The elves have been in decline for so long that they are now part of the Federation, and it's normal for you not to understand the true value of tree species!" Seeing that Chenping didn't know why, the Duke in the dark also reluctantly turned to the topic: "According to the price of the previous transaction, two bottles of potions are 20 billion Galaxy Coins!" ”

"Lord Duke, it's not that I don't want to! Rather......" Chenping closed the box in his hand, gently pushed it back into the darkness, and said lightly: "The substance used to extract this potion was obtained by accident, not to mention its value, the key is that there is not much left!" ”

The elixir that Chenping used to trade was actually a special kind of life energy left by the blood angel on the puppet dragon. During this time, the puppet dragon wandered around the Bloodflame and discovered that this life energy was also present in the Bloodflame. Chenping learned from the Blood Angel's memories that this was an energy that could increase the activity of life functions, so he asked the puppet dragon to extract it from the Blood Flame. Except for some that were devoured by the puppet dragons, most of them were left for later use.

Because this potion is the first item that Chenping touches, he doesn't know its true value. Seeing that this duke was so attentive, he naturally wanted to test the true use and value of this potion. After all, although there are not many potions in his hand, there are ten bottles, of course, he wants to exchange the potions for more useful items, and he really has no shortage of Galaxy Coins now.

"I see!" Two more boxes flew out of the darkness, and the Duke sneered and said, "I see that the pendant and spaceship around your neck have traces of the Light Race, and it must not be the first time you have traded with my people." This time I will put down a little capital, I hope you don't let me down! ”

Chenping gently opened the two boxes, one of which was still the same tree species; The other was a round ball, and for a moment Chenping couldn't tell what it was. Reaching out and gently touching the ball, but he couldn't touch anything, Chenping's brow couldn't help but wrinkle even tighter. This is what I am most afraid of trading, I don't know the value of this transaction item at all, and I have no way but to guess. But you can't honestly tell people that I don't know what this thing is, and you've been laughed at by others in vain.

"I should be satisfied this time!" The Duke said confidently: "If this potion is not useful to me, its price cannot be too high, and if I exchange this item for two bottles of potion, it can be regarded as your luck!" ”

"Tell me what it is, then!" Chenping slandered in his heart.

After watching it for a long time, he still couldn't remember what this thing was, and Chenping also died, and gently closed the box and was silent. These two things are extremely valuable in the eyes of the Duke, but he himself has no idea what they are for, what a hell of a life! Throw things back and ask him for something he knows? It's just that he has a strange feeling in his heart, that the ball seems to be something he can use—if he misses it, he can't find it.

"What a pity!" In the end, Chen Ping shook his head helplessly and said, "I only have a bottle of potion left in my hand, I wonder if your Lord Duke is still willing to trade?" ”

"A bottle?" The Duke's voice grew a little chilly.

"Don't blame the Duke, a countryman like me is illiterate and doesn't know the benefits of such treasures!" At this time, Chenping also understood that he couldn't be so confused, so he simply retreated and said, "Why don't we complete the transaction of this bottle of potion at the original price first, and then have a chance to discuss it later?" ”

"In that case, let's talk about it next time!" Chenping's hands were empty, and the two boxes were wiped away by the darkness and disappeared without a trace.

"Adults need to think clearly!" Seeing that the darkness was about to fade, Chenping suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, as if something very bad was about to happen. So he immediately spoke, "This may be the last transaction between us, once we miss it, we will never find this potion again!" ”

"Are you threatening me?" A breath of death suddenly enveloped him, making Chenping shiver unconsciously.

"I'm still a star thief, how dare I threaten the Duke!" Chen Ping showed a wry smile on his face, and said calmly: "It's just that I wait for the star thieves after all, it is impossible to stay in the city for too long, and I will leave after these two days, and I don't know when I will come back, how to trade with the Duke?" ”

"Hehe...... Duke suddenly sneered, and after a long while, he said lightly: "This ball is still a space shell, and if it is integrated into the spaceship and mecha, it can turn the spaceship into a space treasure." I see that your spaceship is also very good, but it is not designed in this aspect, so I have prepared this treasure for you. But I didn't think that you didn't know the treasure and regarded it as useless! ”

Chen Ping's face flushed slightly when he heard this, and he said with a smile: "Huoyan thanked the duke for his concern, since this is the case, let's continue to talk about the deal!" ”

"......" the duke was silent for a while before he spoke, "you are such an interesting fellow!" Since you still want to negotiate a deal, how many potions can you give me; And what do you want from me? ”

"A source of energy, plus two things in my hand, how about I give the Duke three bottles of potion?" Chenping finally said what he wanted most.

"Hahaha, you're really good at opening your mouth!" The Duke burst out laughing when he heard this, and said with disdain, "Do you know the true value of an energy source? ”

"Why did the Duke say such a thing, can you give a direct answer!" Chenping urged coldly.

"How many potions do you have?" The Duke did not refuse, but asked.

"I still have five bottles of potions under my hand, as long as the Duke offers a fair price, there is no problem in giving you all of them!" Chenping said.

"A source of light, you give me all five bottles of potion!" The Duke thought for a moment and said.

"No, at least two!" Hearing that the Duke was really willing to exchange the source of light, he couldn't help but lift his spirits.

"Don't be greedy, give you one is already a great gift!" The Duke's voice became colder and colder: "To be honest, if I didn't need your potion, I wouldn't have traded with you with the Source of Light at all!" ”

"In that case, Lord Duke should add another elf tree species and 50 billion galactic coins!" Hearing the duke's words, knowing that he would no longer add to the source of glory, Chenping's heart couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. But he didn't mean to let it go, and continued to increase his price.

"You bastard!" The duke was so angry by Chen Ping that he scolded: "Who do you think you are, you dare to be so presumptuous with me!" Add another 10 billion Galaxy Coins, this is my final bottom line. ”

"I'm a bit of a disadvantage at this price!" Chenping ignored the Duke who broke out, and added another condition: "But if the Duke attaches a promise not to make a move on me, then I will agree to the deal!" ”

"......" The Duke heard that Chenping actually put forward this condition, but there was silence for a while, and even the anger just now disappeared without a trace.

"Hehe, is the Duke really going to deal with me personally?" A hint of disdain flashed in Chenping's eyes, and he casually threw five bottles into the darkness.

"How is that possible?" The duke said helplessly, and then two boxes flew in front of Chenping.

"Then our deal is done!" Chen Ping checked the things in his hand a little, and put them all away.

"You're smart, do it for yourself!" After the Duke said a word, the darkness gradually faded.

As soon as the darkness left, Chenping smelled a strong smell of blood. The celestial sense of the Star Eye Secret Technique was instantly activated, and everything in the hall was incorporated into his "eye". I saw that hundreds of his subordinates were all lying in pools of blood, and the star thieves in the lobby had been slaughtered. And what is even more frightening is that at this moment, there are six people standing around Chenping's body, and they happen to be surrounded by it. Unexpectedly, these people actually invited the Dark Duke to set such a death trap for him and the Fire-Eyed Star Thieves!
