Chapter 146: Exchange For Perfect Equipment In The Realm Of Bewitchment? Special Reward From Zheng C
Chapter 146: Exchanging Perfect-grade Equipment in the Realm of Temptation? Zheng Cheng's Special Reward!
The cultural assessment this time quickly came to an end.
Everyone looked at Zheng Cheng, who was walking down from the platform, with curiosity. Li Zhen and Zhu Chengyu went up to greet him.
Behind the two, Zhou Xinyu, Dongfang Yang, and others followed closely.
Li Zhen asked, "Zheng Cheng, what's going on?"
Zheng Cheng replied, "They asked me about my answers and opinions regarding these three questions."
Dongfang Yang hurriedly asked, "Why did they only ask you? What was your answer to the third question?"
"The third question?"
Zheng Cheng shook his head and said, "They didn't ask me about the third one, they asked about the first one."
"The first question?"
The group quickly remembered what the first question was.
Currently, there are five million half-inferior people who intend to join Xia Country. Do you support or oppose it?
If you support it, please briefly describe the method of dealing with the half-inferior people.
If you oppose it, please state your reasons.
Zhou Xinyu immediately asked, "Do you oppose or agree?"
"Me?" Zheng Cheng asked in return, "What did you guys write?"
Zhou Xinyu immediately said, "I agree! Our Xia Country is a great nation, how can we let the race that actively seeks to join us go extinct?"
"Moreover, the inferior people are the original ethnic group of the Radiated Island, and the half-inferior people are considered as well."
"They are not afraid of nuclear radiation, and we still need them to assist us in developing the Radiated Island."
"What about you guys?"
Li Zhen said, "I also agree. After all, there are five million people. We have only explored the four main islands and hundreds of small islands around the Radiated Island. We don't know what's in the deep sea and the farther sea areas."
"In this situation, we need the indigenous people to assist us."
"I was actually thinking of capturing the inferior people, but I didn't expect the half-inferior people to seek refuge. It's a win-win situation."
Zhu Chengyu also spoke up, "I agree too, but my method of dealing with them is to use them as cannon fodder."
"From what I know, there are quite a few professionals among the half-inferior people, at least a million of them!"
"With so many cannon fodders, how many soldiers can we save?"
"I agree too."
"I agree too."
"I agree too. Haven't you guys noticed? The women of the half-inferior people look especially charming, they can definitely work in that field, hehehe..."
"Get lost!"
With a shout, Ye Xishui kicked Shi Lei directly, and the latter glared back in anger.
Dongfang Yang frowned and said, "Ye Xishui, even though your Ye family is powerful, what qualifications do you have to interfere in the affairs of my Dongfang Family?"
Ye Xishui glanced at him coldly and said indifferently, "If Dongfang Zhaojie were here, I might give her some face. What are you worth?"
"You...!"
"Xuyang!" Zhou Xinyu frowned and said, "What, do you want to fight?"
"You just ran away with your tail between your legs earlier, why are you back now?"
"Zhou Xinyu!"
Dongfang Yang took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "Fine, I'm leaving!"
"I hope we don't meet in the Trial Tower later...!"
After saying that, he turned around and left, followed by Shi Lei and Tong Botao.
"The Trial Tower?"
Zheng Cheng frowned, thinking of something.
In the previous college entrance examination, all candidates would enter the Trial Tower for trials.
The assessment was based on killing monsters and breaking through the floors of the Trial Tower.
But this year, due to the existence of the Radiated Island, the content of the college entrance examination has changed, and all candidates entered the Radiated Island for the examination.
The matter of the Trial Tower was put aside.
After they entered the College of Professionals, the annual assessment would also be mainly based on the Trial Tower.
"Zheng Cheng," Zhou Xinyu asked again, "What's your answer?"
"I agree," Zheng Cheng casually replied.
"I also agree, the problem lies in the method of disposal."
"What do you propose for their disposal?"
"Keep them? Or kill them?"
Zheng Cheng hesitated and said, "It's simple, castrate the males and distribute the females based on merits."
As soon as he finished speaking, the five people present were stunned for a few seconds, and then their expressions and eyes underwent slight changes.
"Hiss..."
After a long time, Zhou Xinyu took a sharp breath and said, "Cruel! You're really cruel!"
"Even more cruel than Zhu Chengyu's method!"
"You're a ruthless person~!"
Zhu Chengyu also spoke up, "Your method is indeed too cruel, but it's also very effective."
"In this way, the half-inferior people can also assist us in exploring the Radiated Island and serve as cannon fodder."
"And with this method, in no more than two hundred years, the half-inferior people will no longer exist and will be perfectly integrated into our Xia Country!"
Li Zhen frowned and said, "Physical castration? This method will definitely provoke a rebellion among the half-inferior people. After all, they are not livestock!"
"Rebellion?" Zhou Xinyu said coldly, "Since we have given them a chance to live, we must cherish it."
"Dare to rebel, all will be executed!"
Zheng Cheng said, "I'm not sure about the specific methods to be used. Physical castration would have too many complications. I think the three seniors should use drugs or special means to control."
"My proposal was just a starting point. The specific methods will be decided by higher-ups."
"Hehehe, not bad."
Zhou Xinyu chuckled and said, "It seems like I need to find an opportunity to talk to a few old men in my family."
Zhao Wufeng also said, "This method is good. I can also discuss it with the seniors in my family."
"This is related to the century-long plan of my Xia Kingdom..."
Ye Xishui suddenly said, "Female distribution based on merit... Zheng Cheng, have you ever thought about the pitiful situation of these half-inferior women?"
"Pitiful?"
Zheng Cheng looked at Ye Xishui and said in a deep voice, "All I see is the pitifulness of the three million lost souls in Blood Guanyin."
"If you want to blame someone, blame them for being born into the half-inferior race."
"As long as they sincerely join us, they will eventually become members of my Xia Kingdom. Why should we pity them?"
"At the very least, I didn't propose that their entire clan become prostitutes!"
"You..."
"Xishui!"
Zhou Xinyu frowned and said, "This matter is related to the century-long plan of the Xia Kingdom. If you don't understand, don't speak nonsense!"
"I..."
Looking at Zhou Xinyu, who spoke seriously, Ye Xishui was somewhat surprised.
For more than ten years, she had never seen Zhou Xinyu so serious!
"I understand."
Zhou Xinyu nodded and said, "The assessment is almost over. The three seniors will definitely have something to say."
"In the future, when you have the chance, come to the capital. I'll treat you!"
The three of them left, leaving only Zheng Cheng, Li Zhen, and Zhu Chengyu behind.
Zhu Chengyu said, "What is the identity of these people?"
Li Zhen said, "Zhou Xinyu comes from the Pioneer Family, the Zhou family in the capital!"
"Ye Xishui comes from the Pioneer Family, the Ye family in the capital!"
"Zhao Wufeng comes from the Pioneer Family, the Zhao family in the capital, which is Captain Zhao Yunxiao's family!"
"As for Dongfang Yang, he also comes from the Pioneer Family in Binhai City, the Dongfang Family."
"As for Shi Lei and Tong Botao, they are ordinary professionals recruited by the Dongfang Family."
"These families have been around for hundreds of years, and their relationships are extraordinary. For example, the Zhou family and the Ye family have long been intermarried."
"Zhou Xinyu and Ye Xishui are engaged and their wedding is about to take place."
Zheng Cheng's eyes flickered as he said, "I've been wondering before, how did so many high-level professionals emerge in Binhai City?"
"There are six nine-star professionals and twenty-three eight-star professionals!"
Li Zhen shrugged and said, "It's simple. Let me test you. Where was the first spatial rift in Xia Country located?"
Zhu Chengyu immediately answered, "The first spatial rift appeared on Blue Star, in the Arctic Icefield."
"And the first spatial rift in Xia Country appeared in the East Sea!"
"That's right," Li Zhen said. "That spatial rift was closest to Binhai City and was most deeply affected."
"Over three hundred years ago, almost the entire eastern coastal region fell, and it was eventually reclaimed step by step by the pioneers!"
"Especially in Binhai, in order to reclaim it, our Xia Country left behind millions of ordinary people and professionals' corpses, driving the Sea Clan back to the spatial rift."
"The Fallen Islands, Starry Sea, and Ink Sea, which lead to the battlefield of the foreign races, must also pass through Binhai City. In addition, the abundant marine resources, especially the sea monsters and exotic beasts left behind by the Sea Clan, have attracted countless professionals."
"So the professionals in Binhai City, both in terms of quality and quantity, are the most in Xia Country."
"I see."
Zheng Cheng suddenly said, "Li Zhen, tell us about the Pioneer Families. Who are they exactly?"
Li Zhen said, "This information is not very confidential. You can find it after you enter the Professional University. But since you asked now, I'll give you a brief explanation."
"The so-called Pioneer Families are actually families that have strong individuals who have survived from the time of the Great Cataclysm to the present!"
"And these pioneers have also made great contributions to the survival of the human race, leading us to reclaim cities and save millions of common people from water and fire."
"Their strength is at least at the Epic level! And their professional star level is at least seven stars or above!"
"Families like these are called Pioneer Families!"
Zheng Cheng's eyes lit up as if he remembered something.
But Zhu Chengyu was surprised and said, "Survived from the time of the Great Cataclysm to the present? That means they are at least three to four hundred years old!"
"Professionals can live that long?"
"Why not?" Zhu Chengyu gave him a disdainful look and said, "Once professionals reach the Epic level, their lifespan will skyrocket to five hundred years!"
"The lifespan of Legendary Level experts is even longer!"
"And in the battlefield of the foreign races, there are special ingredients and Spirit Medicine that can increase lifespan."
"Some powerful Alchemists can also refine elixirs that increase lifespan."
"As long as you become a professional and are not killed, living two to three hundred years is like playing!"
Zheng Cheng asked again, "So how many Pioneer Families are there in our country now? And which one is the strongest?"
"Approximately thirty or so."
Li Zhen thought for a moment and said, "The Zhou Family, Ye Family, Zhao Family, Zheng Family in the Imperial Capital, the Dongfang Family and Lin Family in Binhai City, the Qin Family and Bai Family in Qinzhou, and the Tang Family and He Family in Rongcheng, among others."
"As for the strongest Pioneer Family, it would be the Zheng Family!"
"Unfortunately, a hundred years ago, due to some accidents, part of the Zheng Family's members went overseas and established the Nine-Snake Island, one of the Seven Emperors of the Deep Sea. The Zheng Family's main branch continued to reside in the Imperial Capital. Otherwise, the Zheng Family would truly be the number one Pioneer Family in our Xia Country!"
"The Zheng Family..."
Zheng Cheng's face looked strange as he said, "It's not related to me, is it?"
Li Zhen looked Zheng Cheng up and down, shaking his head, "To put it bluntly... it really isn't."
"Before you joined the Night Watchers, they investigated your background."
"Your parents, going back nine generations, have absolutely no connection to the Zheng family. They just share the same surname."
"Furthermore..."
Li Zhen smirked, "All families of professionals, because of the existence of 'Bloodline and Soul', their descendants who awaken as professionals will be the same as or similar to the predecessors."
"For example, Captain Zhao Yunxiao and Zhao Wufeng, they are uncle and nephew, and the professionals they awaken as are the same."
"For example, Dongfang Yang, who was originally just the second son born to a concubine of a branch professional in the Dongfang Family. Unexpectedly, he awakened as the Storm Lord, inheriting the professional of the Dongfang Family's predecessor, and instantly became the fifth successor of the Dongfang Family..."
"Your professional is a Priest, which doesn't match with the Zheng family's predecessor."
"Bloodline and Soul?"
Zheng Cheng's eyes flickered, "What is that?"
"A special bloodline rule," Li Zhen said, "You will naturally understand when your strength reaches the epic level."
"What professional does the Zheng family's predecessor have?"
"Beast Tamer."
"Beast Tamer?"
Zheng Cheng and Zhu Chengyu were both surprised.
This profession often appears in history textbooks!
Li Zhen laughed, "Surprised, aren't you? Didn't expect that the profession of Beast Tamer still exists in this world..."
Zheng Cheng murmured, "I didn't expect that the senior would still be alive in this world."
"No, Senior Zheng sacrificed himself."
Li Zhen shook his head, "Now, the one in charge of the Zheng family in the imperial capital is his eldest son's lineage."
"Additionally, the Zheng family of the Nine-Serpent Island, one of the Seven Deep Sea Emperors, is his third son's lineage."
"What about the second son?"
"Gone."
"What does 'gone' mean?"
"Eliminated by the Fallen One, the entire clan wiped out!"
"Hiss..."
Zheng Cheng wondered, "Since the senior has already sacrificed, why is the Zheng family still a family of predecessors?"
"Because of the contributions and strength of the senior!"
Li Zhen smiled, "The family head of the Zheng family in the imperial capital, as well as the strength of the island lord of the Nine-Serpent Island, are both at the epic level!"
"And, even among all the epic-level powerhouses in Xia Country, he is one of the top ten strongest."
Zheng Cheng suddenly realized a problem and asked, "Then what about Xin... the three seniors, are they also pioneers?"
"Yes," Li Zhen said, "They are also pioneers, but they did not establish a pioneer family."
"Why?"
"Well..."
Li Zhen looked around and whispered, "Rumors say that the stronger a professional becomes, the lower the chance of having offspring. Once their strength reaches the epic level, it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to have children."
"For over three hundred years, many senior pioneers have been focused on improving their strength to drive away the invaders, leaving no time for love and family."
"After they reached the epic level and drove away the invaders, they suddenly realized that the chances of having offspring were very small, so..."
"I see..."
Zheng Cheng suddenly understood and said, "One last question, what is the Deep Sea Seven Emperors?"
Li Zhen frowned and said, "This is classified information, ordinary professionals have no way of knowing... Well, after I tell you, you must not spread it."
Zheng Cheng and Zhu Chengyu nodded eagerly, like little chicks pecking at rice.
"The so-called Deep Sea Seven Emperors are actually traitors from several Transcendent Level powers on Blue Star!"
"What?!"
"Traitors?" Zheng Cheng asked in confusion, "What does that mean?"
Li Zhen shrugged, "It's a national secret, I'm not very clear about it either. The elders in the family also keep it hidden. Maybe after you become an epic-level powerhouse, you will be qualified to know."
Just then, Yang Rui'er's figure appeared again on the platform.
"Dear candidates, the exam has ended. The following individuals, please stay here, while the rest will be transported back to the provincial gathering point."
"Dongfang Yang, Zhou Xinyu, Wang Hao... Zheng Cheng!"
Nine names were announced by Yang Rui'er.
Dongfang Yang, Zhou Xinyu, and others had already prepared and stood in front of the platform, followed closely by the remaining few.
Li Zhen said, "Zheng Cheng, this might be related to the Mirror of Temptation. We'll leave first."
After speaking, a dazzling white light enveloped him and Zhu Chengyu, and they disappeared instantly.
On the entire platform, the remaining dozens of people also disappeared instantly.
Only Dongfang Yang, Zhou Xinyu, Zheng Cheng, and the other six remained.
Zheng Cheng looked up and saw the figure of Xin Ruohuo appearing again.
"I have kept you here to discuss something," Xin Ruohuo said.
Then, he waved his hand and the image of a round mirror appeared.
"The Mirror of Temptation is one of the three Divine Weapons of the Inferior Race."
"This mirror has special abilities and was divided into dozens of fragments by the Inferior Race's Emperor Lie, in order to carry out the Ten Billion Jade Shattering Plan."
"I assume that each of you nine has a corresponding fragment of the Mirror of Temptation."
The nine individuals present were either excited, calm, puzzled, or shocked, all looking up at Xin Ruohuo on the platform.
"This mirror's abilities are unknown, and it is taken from the inferior race. Only professionals with the bloodline of the inferior race can fully utilize its abilities."
"Keeping it in your hands is at most equivalent to possessing a special prop."
"Therefore, I am willing to exchange the fragments of the bewitching mirror in your hands for other equipment or props of equal value."
"Of course, if you are unwilling to exchange, I will not force you."
Zheng Cheng shook his head and took out the fragment of the bewitching mirror first.
This fragment cannot be stored in a spatial ring and is easily detected by malicious high-level professionals.
In his own hands, it is completely useless, so it is better to exchange it for one or two useful things.
Most of the nine people simply took out the fragments of the bewitching mirror.
But there were also two newbies who looked hesitant and conflicted.
At this moment, more than ten half-inferior girls walked in one after another.
Some of them were holding trays, some were carrying a large cloth bag, and some were lifting a large box together as they walked over.
Yang Ruir said, "Storm Tree, a perfect-grade item, born in the storm mountain of the alien battlefield. When implanted in the body, it can nurture a storm spirit that only the user can control using their own blood and spirit."
"This item can be exchanged for a fragment of the bewitching mirror."
"Gray Shadow Blade, a perfect-grade equipment. It was taken from the fallen gray elf clan in the alien battlefield. It has the passive ability to merge one's body into the gray shadow, and it also comes with three controlled effects: poison, blindness, and dizziness."
"This equipment can be exchanged for a fragment of the bewitching mirror."
"Three Flower Pupil Blood Pill, a special elixir. After taking it, it can permanently increase 5 points of spirit, 4 points of physique, and 2 points of agility, with a limit of ten pills."
"There are five pills here, which can be exchanged for a fragment of the bewitching mirror."
Yang Ruir explained one by one, and with her voice, the half-inferior girls below stepped forward one after another, showing the items in their hands to the nine people.
Storm Tree, Gray Shadow Blade, Three Flower Pupil Blood Pill, Serene Twin Wings, Thorn Shield...
All the equipment and items are perfect-grade!
And some of the pills and Spirit Medicine can increase one's four-dimensional attributes or resistance!
Once these things are taken out, who knows how many people will covet and snatch them.
During Yang Ruir's explanation, many people quickly rushed up to exchange.
If the things they had their eyes on were taken by others, wouldn't they be at a loss?
For example, Dongfang Yang, this guy exchanged the Storm Tree, five Three Flower Pupil Blood Pills, and Serene Twin Wings in one go.
Zhou Xinyu had three fragments and exchanged the Thorn Shield, Gray Shadow Blade, and Water Elemental Shell.
The remaining newbies, some had two fragments, some only had one, and they all stepped forward to exchange the treasures they were interested in.
Zheng Cheng was the same, his gaze fell on a golden staff.
According to Yang Ruir's explanation, this staff was a perfect-grade weapon taken from the flower elf clan in the fairy forest of the alien battlefield.
"Group of Flowers Scepter, a perfect-grade weapon. It comes with the attack skill Flying Flowers Splashing Jade, the control skill Cluster of Flowers, and the healing skill Condensed Nectar. It is the most perfect skill for both mages and Priests."
While saying these words, Yang Ruir glanced in Zheng Cheng's direction.
"Is this... a reminder for me?"
All equipment is divided into Whiteboard, Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Perfect, Epic, Legendary, and the strongest Mythical Level.
For example, the Bloodthirsty Staff in Zheng Cheng's hand is at the Black Iron Level.
And the Yunxiao Sword that Zhao Yunxiao gave to himself is at the Silver level.
Unexpectedly, now he has encountered a Perfect level staff.
Thinking of this, Zheng Cheng no longer hesitates and walks forward. He uses the fragment of the Enchanting Mirror in his hand to exchange for this Perfect level staff.
"Zheng Cheng."
Xin Ruohuo's voice appears again.
The other eight people all look surprised. Why is this Zheng Cheng so highly regarded by the three seniors?
"Your answer is very good, perfectly resolving the disposal of the half-inferior person... This is your reward."
With the sound falling, a faint red light falls from the high platform and floats in front of Zheng Cheng.
This...
The eyes of the other eight people all look over.
Surprisingly... it's an egg!
A bold, faint red egg as tall as a person is quietly floating in front of Zheng Cheng.
Xin Ruohuo's voice continues to come:
"This beast egg was found from the depths of the Emperor Mountain Fire, which the inferior race claims to be never extinguished."
"The life force within it is very strong. If it can hatch, it will definitely be a powerful magic pet."
"You are a Priest, so your own safety is the most important."
"This beast egg is the reward for your cultural examination this time."
"Thank you, senior!"
"Alright, you all can go back now."
Xin Ruohuo said in a low voice, and then nine bright white lights lit up, completely enveloping the figures of the nine people.
"The individual ranking matches of each province are about to begin. Go back and prepare!"
The Inferior Race ends here. Originally, the outline did not include this volume, but due to some special reasons, the author wrote it out under a strong feeling of anger.
For this reason, the subsequent outline has been modified.
Several chapters were reviewed during this period, and even today I received a warning about the reviewed section, so I have to make some modifications to the previous content.
But I have no regrets, even if this book is banned.
In the future, the content of the chapters will tend to stabilize, and I plan to write longer chapters to speed up the development of the story.
From now on, there will be one update per day, at 12:00 AM or 12:00 PM, with each chapter being 8,000 to 10,000 words.
Finally, I still hope to receive the support of all my friends. Thank you!!!
