Like the original four Awakened of the Federation, the five S-rank top combat forces in the New Human Empire also enjoy the highest honors. The Dark Emperor is the monarch of the New Human Empire; The Prophet is the head of the scientific and technological information department, guiding the direction of the new human empire; The great sage is the minister of a country, holding the administrative and financial resources; The slaughterer is the marshal of the army, who controls the imperial military; The judge can distinguish between good and evil, and is the best at punishment. It's just that today, this stable structure is about to collapse, and the Dark Emperor, as the lord of a country, can't help but be a little worried.

"Your Majesty seems to be a little worried about the appearance of Beichen Master Medicine, why is this?" In the inner sanctum, a beautiful woman sitting at the head of the Dark Emperor slowly raised her head and looked at the monarch of the New Human Empire with her empty eyes.

This beautiful woman is the replicant of the third generation of the prophet of the New Human Empire, codenamed "Lingya 111". After the death of the first prophet, the previous Dark Emperor broke his oath and used the genes left by the prophet to breed and create a series of replicants. Unfortunately, not every replicant has the Prophet's powerful prophetic abilities. So far, only two replicas have successfully inherited the powers of the Prophet, and Lingya 111 is the third replicant to serve as the Prophet!

Although the Prophet is nominally the head of the scientific and technological information department, in reality she is nothing more than a puppet of the Dark Emperor, a humanoid puppet with no freedom at all. However, because of her special status, the Dark Emperor trusts her, as long as it comes out of her mouth, the Dark Emperor almost obeys her words, and never has a trace of doubt.

"Times have really changed, and they are getting crazier and crazier!" The Dark Emperor took a genetic potion in his hand and said angrily, "A small potion can create an S-rank powerhouse, which was an unthinkable event before. ”

"Technology is changing with each passing day, this is something that will happen sooner or later, and Your Majesty has already had a plan to deal with it, so why bother at this time?" The prophet shook his head lightly and said indifferently: "Even if there is no Beichen today, there will be a second person to offer medicine another day, so that the empire will enter the era of the emergence of strong men!" ”

"I wish I could be as calm as you, but I can't!" The Dark Emperor said a little helplessly, "What a crazy plan to let the Slavers strangle the foundation of the Empire! ”

"Hey!" When the prophet heard this, a faint sneer appeared on his lips.

"Sometimes I really wish you could be wrong once, but unfortunately you are still as correct as ever, which is really scary!" The Dark Emperor was not angry at the prophet's sarcasm, but instead held his chin and said playfully, "I have heard that the first generation of prophets often had accidents that made mistakes, but why did they come to you every time they were sure to hit?" ”

"This proves that the first generation of prophets is far more capable than me, and that they can still grasp the direction of the future in the game, even if they are wrong, it does not matter the overall situation. And I can only be a bystander, and I can't get the accident in the game! The Prophet said flatly.

"As a bystander, you can control the overall situation, once you enter the game, you can only become someone else's pawn and be exhausted!" The Dark Emperor glanced at the woman in front of him and said very seriously, "I need you to control the overall situation for me, so don't think nonsense!" ”

"......" The Prophet stood up silently and walked out of the temple as if angry.

Although the other party's move was very rude, the Dark Emperor had long been used to it and did not open his mouth to blame. He saw the Prophet today to see if there had been a change in the course of events. Now that everything is under control, you don't have to worry about the rest of the matter, just go ahead with the plan. So he gently rang the bell and motioned for the chamberlain to summon the people waiting outside into the inner sanctum.

After a while, a group of more than a dozen people appeared in front of the Dark Emperor and sat down one after another. The person sitting in the first seat at the bottom right was none other than the Great Sage Jingmen Haiwang, who looked at the vacant seat opposite, and couldn't help frowning slightly, extremely disgusted by the Dark Emperor's practice of putting the prophet under house arrest.

"I called everyone here today, and I believe you also roughly understand what is going on, so I will say it directly!" The Dark Emperor glanced at everyone, and then said calmly, "I intend to promote the star-striped brand among the common people like the Federation and strengthen the Empire's control over the people, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty, hasn't this plan been vetoed, why is it being proposed again at this time?" An old man in the last row stood up and asked puzzled.

"......" Everyone present was slightly stunned when they heard this, and looked at that guy in surprise, with snickers and disdain in their eyes. As a courtier and high-ranking nobleman of the empire, he actually doesn't know anything about what happened at the top of the empire, and it seems that this old guy won't stay for long!

"Since you don't know anything, just shut your mouth and listen quietly, do you still want me to explain it to you!" A cold light flashed in the eyes of the Dark Emperor, and the minister was so frightened that he sat down on his seat, trembling all over his body.

"Since this matter is Your Majesty's will, we will do it!" Jingmen Haiwang was the first to speak at this time: "Just to preserve the excellent seeds, I suggest that the time to engrave the star pattern should be over eight years old, so as to avoid the loss of high-level abilities. ”

"Eight years old?" The Dark Emperor fell silent when he heard this. Jingmen Haiwang's proposal was similar to what he thought, but he was still accustomed to being silent and listening to the opinions of others.

"Your Majesty, isn't it a little too late to engrave the star pattern until you are eight years old?" At this time, a middle-aged man stood up and said seriously: "With our current level of science and technology, we can roughly determine the quality of a child's ability after birth, so it is better to directly engrave the star pattern directly after birth, isn't it more convenient?" ”

"I don't care about that!" Suddenly, a fat man stood up and said loudly, "What level of ability quality I care about so that I don't need to engrave the star pattern, and when to inject these selected children with genetic optimization potions!" ”

"Sit down!" Seeing this fat man so presumptuous, the Dark Emperor's face suddenly sank, and he said a cold word.

"Yes!" The fat man sat down with a smile on his face, not paying any attention to the Dark Emperor's reprimand.

This person's name is Hong Yunyin, and he is still the confidant of the Dark Emperor, who grew up by the emperor's side since he was a child, and has made countless military exploits. Don't look at him as a big fat man, and he has a lot of military exploits, but this person is best at rhythm, and he is still a famous musician in the empire. It is said that he was able to play the piano at the age of two, and by the age of eight he was already proficient in all instruments and began to compose his own music. It's just that when he entered the palace to perform his skills, he was favored by the Dark Emperor, and somehow he slowly grew crooked. From a musician, he gradually became a bloody butcher, and once became the emperor's royal executioner.

"The quality of an ability can't be measured by a single machine, so I won't go into details!" Jingmen Haiwang glanced at everyone coldly, and said seriously: "The age limit is set at eight years old to give some hidden abilities a chance to grow, after all, there are not a few hidden abilities in the empire, and we should not deprive them of the opportunity to grow." ”

"In that case, why not design at twelve?" At this time, one of the courtiers said: "This is a turning point in the children's lives, and we can engrave the star pattern for them when they enter the middle school!" ”

"Mr. Beichen, since you are the preparer of genetic optimization potions, please also tell me your opinion!" The Dark Emperor's gaze suddenly stopped on a middle-aged man, and asked with a smile on his face. Hearing the Dark Emperor's name, everyone looked at that person in unison.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Beichen Shi Yao stood up and saluted respectfully to the Dark Emperor, and then said with a little nervousness: "Personally, I also agree with the star pattern engraved for children after the age of twelve, because by the age of twelve, they can already inject the first genetic optimization potion. And with the help of potions, the abilities on our bodies should be fully awakened, so we don't have to miss out on those good ability children! ”

"The first one?" Jingmen Haiwang asked in surprise: "According to what you said, this gene optimization drug is not injected at one time, but is it divided into several stages?" ”

"Yes, Lord Jingmen!" Beichen Shiyao replied with a smile: "In order for the injector to better adapt to the efficacy of the potion, I have divided the potion into three stages, and only by injecting the genetic optimization potion of the third stage can the injector have a chance to advance to the rank of S-rank warrior." ”

"I'm pretty sure!" Jingmen Haiwang continued to ask.

"It depends on the quality of the ability, if it's an S-rank quality, then there is no less than a 50% chance!" Beichen Shiyao replied seriously: "But below the A rank, there is only less than a twenty percent chance!" ”

"Your Majesty, in that case, there is no need to waste potions, and those with abilities below the A-level will be directly imprinted with star stripes. Wouldn't it be easier to only give A-level or higher supernatural people the opportunity to inject potions? Hong Yunyin shouted and proposed.

Jingmen Haiwang nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with the proposal. In fact, he knew very well that this proposal was not made by Hong Yunyin, but by the meaning of the Dark Emperor, and that fat man was just a microphone. So he didn't say a word, and he had no intention of opposing this plan at all. It's just that he didn't object, but someone spoke up to oppose it, which made many smart people present a little stunned.

"Your Majesty, Weichen also agrees with Lord Hong's opinion. It's just that genetic optimization potions can be a huge help in the awakening of abilities, so I recommend that children be injected with their first potions when they are twelve years old to help them reach their potential! Beichen Shi Yao suggested.

"Mr. Beichen, your proposal is good, but the Empire doesn't have the funds to do this right now!" Jingmen Haiwang said.

"Lord Jingmen doesn't have to worry about this, if you don't have funds, you just need to charge directly, after all, this medicine also needs a cost, we don't have to do free services!" Beichen Shiyao said.

"Is there a charge? That's a good idea! For the first time, the Dark Emperor showed a look of interest: "It's just how to charge?" ”

"Genetic optimization potions have the ability to change the lives of ordinary people, and no matter how Your Majesty agrees on this fee, the people will probably not complain. But I hope that Your Majesty will understand the hard work of your subordinates, and give your subordinates 20% of the price as the cost of maintaining the production of potions! Beichen Shiyao naturally understood the meaning of the Dark Emperor's words, and immediately put forward his own request.

"Twenty percent?" A hint of appreciation flashed in the eyes of the Dark Emperor, but he did not make a decision immediately, but looked at Jingmen Haiwang on the side and said: "Haiwang, you will be responsible for this matter, I hope to give me a satisfactory plan!" ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured!" Jingmen Haiwang stood up and saluted the Dark Emperor and replied respectfully.

"Let's go down!" The Dark Emperor waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to leave the inner hall.

After everyone bowed respectfully, they slowly withdrew from the main hall. But after everyone retreated, a fat man suddenly turned back, walked up to the Dark Emperor with a smile on his face, and bowed to the Dark Emperor very exaggeratedly.

"Say, what's the matter?" Seeing the fat man come back, the Dark Emperor was not the slightest surprised, but just asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, that kid from my family has been very diligent lately, I wonder if I can give him a chance?" The fat man pleaded: "Although his qualifications are a little worse, he is the only one among the children of the ministers......"

"Accurate!" The Dark Emperor waved his hand lazily and said casually.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!" The fat man was overjoyed when he heard this, and happily kowtowed to the Dark Emperor several times in a row.

"Get up!" The Dark Emperor motioned for the fat man to get up, and then asked in a low voice, "What are the rumors about this Beichen Master Medicine outside recently, tell me about it!" ”

"Oh, about Beichen-sama?" The fat man walked up to the Dark Emperor, stood aside respectfully, and said leisurely: "Speaking of Lord Beichen, the people outside can be said to praise and praise him. I think he is a gentle gentleman, and he is always very kind to people......"

"You've received a gift from someone again!" The Dark Emperor suddenly grabbed an object on the table and threw it directly on the fat man's head, saying with a look of anger on his face.

"Hehe, Xiao Chen is such a hobby!" was hit on the head by an object, and the fat man didn't care, and said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, or I'll play a song for you!" ”

"That's it!" The Dark Emperor was not interested, and waved his hand to signal the fat man to go down.

"Please forgive your majesty, Lord Beichen has just arrived, and the minister really doesn't know much about him!" The fat man explained apologetically, and then as if he suddenly remembered something, he immediately spoke: "But I know that there are people in the palace who know Lord Beichen very well, why don't you ask in person, Your Majesty?" ”

"Oh, there is actually someone in the palace who knows this Beichen Master Medicine? You name it, come and hear it! The Dark Emperor was stunned when he heard this, but a trace of cold light flashed in his eyes.

"I heard that Lord Beichen's beloved daughter was drafted into the palace a year ago, Your Majesty wants to know about Lord Beichen, you might as well ask Miss Beichen!" The fat man hurriedly replied.

"Show girl?" The Dark Emperor glanced at the fat man in astonishment, but there was a hint of relief on his face.
