Chapter 777 Recognition
"Huh?" Kong Liu was slightly stunned, but seeing that there was no reluctance on Zhou Yu's face, she still nodded and walked in.
Kong Boyuan frowned slightly and looked at Zhou Yu, for this son-in-law, Kong Boyuan naturally couldn't say how much he liked it, and he could even say that he was a little disgusted. If you want to talk about strength, Zhou Yu naturally has it, and his identity is not humble, he can be a senior instructor in the Security Bureau, and he can be regarded as a good identity in Yuanji City. It can be said that if Zhou Yu wants to marry a wife, he can still find many suitable partners in Yuanji City, but this matter is in their Kong family, and Kong Boyuan has a feeling of regret.
Helplessly, this is his daughter's choice, Kong Boyuan did not stop it at the beginning, and even had a cold war with his daughter, but in the end he still relented, firstly, because Kong Boyuan himself is also an open person, and secondly, because he actually knew that Zhou Yu and his daughter were not just internal office duties on the surface, they needed to go out to perform tasks often, and having such a son-in-law with good skills by his daughter's side would naturally make his daughter a little more secure.
The world can't be perfect, and Kong Boyuan didn't dwell on this matter for long, but every time he saw Zhou Yu, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
Kong Liu is very excited now, she already likes this kind of auction, and she also knows that Zhou Yu actually likes this kind of auction too, but the opportunity for them to come here together before is really rare, especially with her father, this is the first time in the world. Seeing Zhou Yu walking in the front of the leisurely walk, Kong Liu even forgot to stop him and ask him to wait for his father, and even looked at Zhou Yu's humble and arrogant appearance, Kong Liu also quietly snickered, it seems that Zhou Yu's little "amnesia" can be regarded as a good thing.
Kong An walked a few steps quickly to Zhou Yu's side, Kong An has been by Kong Boyuan's side all these years, he is thoughtful but young and old, and he is quite liked by Kong Boyuan. Kong Liu watched her cousin approach Zhou Yu vigilantly, although she was not very worried that Cousin Kong An would provoke Zhou Yu, but she still sweated a little, after all, Kong Liu knew that there were almost no people in the Kong family who really liked Zhou Yu.
"What does my brother-in-law want to choose here?" Kong An asked after walking to Zhou Yu's side.
"Just take a look at it, and if you can, get some good materials to make an armor. Zhou Yu replied calmly, he naturally didn't know Kong An, but there was really no need to show this kind of thing.
"Oh?" Kong An came to his senses and asked curiously, "What about my brother-in-law's armor?"
"The previous armor is broken, and I plan to build a new one, but I don't know if it will work. Zhou Yu said with a smile, but at this time Zhou Yu seemed a little careless, because he was arguing with Mo Ling at the moment, and Mo Ling was now shouting in his spiritual world, because Mo Ling didn't believe that Zhou Yu could now create an armor that could withstand his mental pressure.
Kong An followed Kong Boyuan at a young age, and naturally cultivated a delicate heart, he felt that Zhou Yu was a little careless, but he couldn't think of why Zhou Yu was like this, he glanced back at Kong Boyuan, and then still pretended to be relaxed and asked: "Brother-in-law is planning to build a few levels of armor, if you change the armor now, the amplitude multiple of the armor's combat power will start to calculate again, but it's a pity." β
"I'm going to build a fifth-order armor. Zhou Yu replied.
"Oh, fifth-order armor......" Kong An didn't react for the first time, and then realized what Zhou Yu was talking about. Not only him, but Kong Boyuan behind him also showed a somewhat surprised expression, after all, they were very clear about what it meant to build a fifth-order armor.
"Brother-in-law has advanced to the Martial Spirit Realm?" Kong An continued to ask.
Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Well, it's the Martial Spirit Realm. β
Kong An didn't speak immediately, he was waiting for Kong Boyuan's reaction. Kong Boyuan, who was behind, looked at his daughter with a questioning look, and seemed to complain a little about why his daughter didn't tell him such a thing.
Looking at the reactions of her father and cousin, Kong Liu's vanity was slightly satisfied, after all, Zhou Yu was her husband, and her husband was originally not very valued in the family, but once Zhou Yu advanced to the martial spirit realm, the situation would definitely improve. Seeing his father's questioning eyes, Kong Liu stuck out his tongue and explained simply: "I only found out about this today." β
Kong Boyuan showed a clear look, and when he looked at Zhou Yu again, Kong Boyuan's face finally showed a little smile, Kong Boyuan is really satisfied with the smile now, the existence of an armored martial spirit is a very important strategic resource for any family, especially for a consortium family like the Kong family, the martial spirit is naturally a more scarce resource.
Forgive Kong Boyuan for treating Zhou Yu as a strategic resource, this is really a concept that has long been ingrained in Kong Boyuan's mind, sitting in his position, all he thinks and thinks is just working hard for the development of the family, which of course also contains important factors to realize his own value, but after all, people like them are used to starting from the overall situation, so it is not an unforgivable thing to do Zhou Yu's positioning with such a utilitarian gaze.
"Kong An, accompany your brother-in-law more, and help him buy enough materials tonight. Kong Boyuan first gave an order to Kong An, then looked at Kong Liu and said, "How about it, don't say that Dad is stingy in the future." β
Kong Liu nodded with satisfaction, and when she saw Zhou Yu being taken away by her cousin Kong An, she didn't follow immediately, she knew that her father had something to say to her.
Sure enough, Kong Boyuan didn't speak until Zhou Yu left: "Don't blame Dad for being cheesy, this is something that can't be helped." β
"I know, Zhou Yu's advanced martial spirit is naturally a great help to our family. Kong Liu nodded sensibly and said, "But I still hope that Dad can really like Zhou Yu, not just because Zhou Yu is a tool." Because I never think so, Zhou Yu is Zhou Yu, whether he is an armored martial artist or an armored general, he is my husband, I really hope that everyone can treat him as a family. β
"It's impossible. Kong Boyuan obviously just did a good deed, but he immediately poured cold water on it and said: "When he married you, he should have understood it, and you should also understand this truth, it is impossible to have any feelings at all in the Kong family." The children of the Confucian family can enjoy better training than others from a young age, can have more resources at their disposal, and can have a higher status after leaving the house. Zhou Yu is still an outsider after all, and he is not from a big clan, it is impossible for him to really integrate into the Kong family, the only thing he can do is to make himself stronger, only in this way can he gain more respect. β
"Of course, it can be seen that Zhou Yu understands this truth, he agreed to be with you because he saw that he is not a person who covets wealth and wealth, but also a person worthy of trust, and now he can advance to the martial spirit very well, our Kong family counts him, and now there are finally three martial spirit powerhouses, and he can barely be regarded as a top family. Kong Boyuan couldn't help but show a little excitement when he said this: "Outsiders say that we are a consortium family, but our Kong family is not a fool who can only get rich, and now that he has these powers in his hands, even his Qin family may not dare to touch us easily." β
In the final analysis, Kong Boyuan still regarded Zhou Yu as an important strategic resource, Kong Liu also knew that today's conversation with his father was equivalent to no substantial progress, thinking of this Kong Liu could not hide the loss in his heart, and finally said angrily: "Hmph, when Zhou Yu reaches the fifth-order martial spirit, see if you still don't want to find a way to keep him." β
"Stinky girl, who are you helping!" Kong Boyuan pretended to be very angry and said, but soon became serious: "If he can really raise his strength to a fifth-order martial spirit, if anyone dares to show a roll of his eyes to Zhou Yu at that time, I will be the first to disagree." β
Before others could give Zhou Yu a white eye, Kong Liu first gave his father a white eye, and then ran away with complicated emotions. Of course she understands the truth, but Kong Liu still doesn't like to put things on the surface so nakedly. Helplessly, on the one hand, her father, and on the other hand, her lover, Kong Liu really can't completely favor one side, and in the end, she is still herself who is embarrassed.
The auction had already started for a while, and in fact, Zhou Yu and the others were already late when they came here.
"If you want to talk about today's auction, maybe there will be some surprises. Kong An always stayed by Zhou Yu's side and said with a smile. Since he knew that Zhou Yu had advanced to the martial spirit just now, his attitude towards Zhou Yu had also changed a lot. Although Kong An had never had a cold eye on Zhou Yu before, after all, he was lukewarm to Zhou Yu like other Kong family members, but now that Zhou Yu has become a martial arts powerhouse, the situation has naturally changed.
"What surprise?" Zhou Yu asked curiously, he had shown more patience with these Kong family members.
Because Zhou Yu really didn't want to see Kong Liu's crying and crying anymore......
When it comes to dealing with women, Zhou Yu's combat power is probably only 5......
"I heard that those people from the Qin family came back this afternoon. Kong An lowered his voice and said, looking mysterious.
"Qin family?" Zhou Yu was in a state of confusion, and he didn't know how to reply.
Kong An didn't expect Zhou Yu to react like this, he asked puzzledly: "Brother-in-law doesn't know about the Qin family, right?"
Zhou Yu still shook his head, and finally smiled helplessly: "I just entered the martial spirit realm after a genetic mutation, and the mental power shock is more intense, this meeting is a little bit difficult to remember the past." β
Kong An was stunned for a while, and then immediately returned to normal, and said: "I see, I said how do I feel that my brother-in-law is a little different." But when my brother-in-law advanced to the martial spirit realm, he actually experienced a genetic mutation? It can be seen that Kong An is sincerely envious of Zhou Yu's experience.
"It's nothing, it's just luck. Zhou Yu waved his hand, and then asked, "What can the Qin family do when they come back, what good things will they bring back?"
As soon as he heard Zhou Yu ask, Kong An immediately came to his senses again, but he still lowered his voice and said: "Actually, we heard the news a long time ago that a big man of the Qin family personally led the team out, and it is said that they have prepared a lot of means, just to hunt a very important prey. β
"What prey?" Zhou Yu asked very cooperatively.
"A dragon. Kong An was still mysterious, and said: "Void Dragon, the Qin family is going out to hunt the Void Dragon. I don't know how they got the news, it is said that the Void Dragon they are targeting happens to give birth to offspring, and its body is extremely weak, they have found the right place, calculated the time to go out to hunt, and it is estimated that this time they have come back has been successful. β
"Void Dragon, ......" Zhou Yu unconsciously stretched out the last word, he wanted to laugh a little, but finally held back and said: "In the future, it is better to hear less about these rumors, and sometimes it may kill people." β
"What do you mean?" Kong An was a little dissatisfied, after all, he had just changed his attitude towards Zhou Yu, and now he couldn't help but feel a little angry when he saw that Zhou Yu had something to say, and obviously didn't believe the information he gave.
"It's not interesting, it's just that sometimes the gossip isn't very accurate. Those Qin family members didn't necessarily succeed before they could do it, in case that Void Dragon was in a more violent state after giving birth, they were not prepared enough, and they would only end up being slaughtered. Zhou Yu explained.
"Impossible, the old man of the Qin family has been very stable in his work over the years, and they will not make such mistakes. Kong An didn't seem to want to argue too much with Zhou Yu, and finally said as if making a bet: "Anyway, let's take a look, it is estimated that the Qin family will surprise this auction today." You see that there are a lot of people who came today, and almost everyone already knows the news of the Qin family's return. β
"Okay. Zhou Yu smiled and nodded, compared to Kong An's impatience, in fact, Zhou Yu was even more reluctant to argue with him about this kind of thing. Zhou Yu had probably guessed that the Qin family that Kong An was talking about should be the people he saw hiding in the cave on the other side of Hantan, but thinking of this situation, Zhou Yu couldn't help but have a headache.
Zhou Yu didn't bother to pay attention to those people before, just because he didn't think there would be any intersection with them, and he really wasn't interested in slaughtering humans at will or human warriors who were not too strong, but he didn't expect that being lazy at that time might leave a little unexpected situation now.
But this unexpected situation will not be too troublesome, Zhou Yu does not think that this is a big deal, so naturally he does not think too much. Kong Liu also rushed over soon after, and she adjusted it, and the conversation after that was much more cheerful.
However, the auction items on the auction table have been passed one by one, and there are some relatively rare exometals, if they were placed in the past and let Zhou Yu choose, he would also take a few pieces of exometals, and those few pieces of exometals, which were auctioned off, are really good materials for making fifth-order armor. It's just that for the current Zhou Yu, this level of material is really not enough.
Kong Liu was originally full of joy by Zhou Yu's side, what she was thinking about today was to help Zhou Yu get the materials he wanted, in order to take care of Zhou Yu's face, she was paying attention to Zhou Yu's expression almost all the time, as long as she saw Zhou Yu's slight reaction, she would definitely take down the materials for Zhou Yu immediately, so as to avoid making Zhou Yu feel as if he was accepting the traces of their Kong family's gifts or rewards, as a result, Zhou Yu was just smiling from beginning to end, looking like he was satisfied with everything, but in fact, he was not satisfied with anything, this situation naturally made Kong Liu slowly a little impatientγ
"Isn't there anything worth buying?" Kong Liu finally couldn't help but ask.
"Well, those ingredients are too brittle to use. Zhou Yu replied honestly. The conscience of heaven and earth, what Zhou Yu said now is the truth, if the materials that appeared on the auction table are used to make armor now, they can really only be described as brittle. As for the other properties of the different metals, there is no need to consider them at all, because those materials can't withstand the huge impact of mental power in the first place, and even the most basic bets can't meet the requirements, and then talking about other aspects can only be a joke.
As a result, Zhou Yu had just finished speaking, but a person sitting next to Zhou Yu suddenly snorted coldly and said, "I don't know how to pretend to understand." β
Zhou Yu ignored that guy, they were not sitting in the VIP seat, everyone's chairs were very close to each other, in fact, Zhou Yu and their previous conversation, if the people next to them had a heart, they would have heard it. And Zhou Yu is now a more eye-catching one, not because he is special, but because Kong Liu has been carefully asking Zhou Yu whether he likes this or that since the auction, this has created a full style of eating soft rice for Zhou Yu. As a result, Zhou Yu used the word "brittle" just now to describe some foreign metals that could be regarded as high-quality products, which naturally attracted a few criticisms from the people next to him.
Kong An and Kong Liu both frowned, no matter what Zhou Yu's status was in the Kong family, outsiders dared to say that Zhou Yu was not giving face to the Kong family, but Zhou Yu just waved his hand lightly to stop this meaningless quarrel. Strictly speaking, Zhou Yu's statement just now is indeed wrong, but so what, he doesn't think there is any need for an explanation.
The person next to him snorted again with satisfaction when he saw that Zhou Yu was so knowledgeable, and then began to introduce the knowledge of different metals to the people around him more loudly, and all the different metals he talked about were the different metals that were taken away from the auction table just now.
But Zhou Yu didn't care, but Kong Liu on the side was about to explode her lungs, her two little fists were clenched tightly, and she seemed to have made a plan, and when the auction was over, she would go out and beat this mouthy kid hard.
The auction on the auction table suddenly came to an end, and just before the end, the auctioneer suddenly sold a pass, signaling that everyone would have a big surprise next, such an announcement seemed to indicate the accuracy of Kong An's guess before, Kong An couldn't help but be proud, and showed a somewhat victorious expression when he looked at Zhou Yu.
At this moment, when the auctioneer walked down the stage, several people in the backstage also walked over, and one of them glanced under the auction table when he walked to the backstage, and when he suddenly saw Zhou Yu, his face changed instantly.
