“Second value?”
Wu Meng raised an eyebrow, looking at Shu Zhanyue.
Shu Zhanyue smiled, “Do you know Huo Guodong?”
Wu Meng was momentarily stunned, “Huo Guodong?”
Of course, he knew. That person was the Sect Leader of the Spiritual Ability Sect. When Liang Yuan was attacking the Water God Sect, he directly wiped out most of the Water God Sect’s masters.
Even Pei Yuanhu had to hide in the army’s camp to escape disaster.
When this news spread, it nearly scared the members of the Earth Mother Sect and the Spiritual Ability Sect to death.
On that day, Stone Lianhai packed up and ran away, and although the Spiritual Ability Sect remained mysterious, they later did not make any moves.
Most likely, they also ran away.
But why is Shu Zhanyue mentioning the Sect Leader of the Spiritual Ability Sect now?
He looked at the other party in confusion.
“Sect Leader of the Spiritual Ability Sect, how could I not know? Ever since Liang Yuan wiped out the Water God Sect, it seems the Spiritual Ability Sect has been quiet. So, do you know where Huo Guodong is?”
Shu Zhanyue chuckled and said, “He’s in the Divine Country.”
“What?”
Wu Meng was shocked, a bit surprised.
Huo Guodong actually went to the Divine Country?
“I have some connections with him. If we go to the Divine Country, I can reach out to him and naturally find a foothold there.”
Shu Zhanyue smiled, clearly satisfied with Wu Meng’s reaction.
Wu Meng frowned and asked, “You, a high-ranking member of the Earth Mother Sect, have such a good relationship with the Sect Leader of the Spiritual Ability Sect?”
Shu Zhanyue smiled but did not directly answer the question, saying, “This is my personal matter, I cannot discuss it with you.”
“In short, if I go to the Divine Country, I will surely have a place. If we go together, with your Floating Island in hand, you have quite the bargaining chip and can completely enter the high-level circle of the Divine Country.”
Wu Meng pondered for a moment and eventually laughed, “You’ve convinced me, I agree.”
Shu Zhanyue immediately laughed and extended her hand, saying, “So, a pleasant collaboration?”
Wu Meng looked at her outstretched palm and eventually extended his own hand, smiling, “Pleasant collaboration.”
…
Arc Light Island, Liang Yuan walks into Jin Shirong’s harem.
Here, there are all kinds of women.
From ages thirteen or fourteen to thirty or forty, women of all age groups are here.
Lolis, older sisters, young wives, next-door girls, young women, charming housewives—every type imaginable.
Liang Yuan looked at these women and couldn’t help but sigh, Jin Shirong really knows how to enjoy himself.
This large harem probably consists of hundreds of people.
Even if he spent one day with each, it would take more than a hundred days to get through them.
Yet, Jin Shirong is not satisfied, he actually hid himself in the chaotic Ming Fox Island, establishing a small family there.
Damn, is he tired of living as a big boss and wants to experience the life of a regular person?
Liang Yuan cursed inwardly, as Wang Ling’Er asked, “Mr. Liang, what should we do with these women?”
Liang Yuan thought for a moment and said, “Ask them if they have any family. If they do, give them some supplies and Points and send them away.”
“If they don’t have family, find them a job to settle down.”
“Now that our territory is vast, there’s always a lack of people, there’s no worry about finding places for them.”
Wang Ling’Er sighed in relief, she was worried that Liang Yuan, facing so many beauties, might lose control and do something shameful.
However, it turned out she was kind of overthinking; Mr. Liang is an upright and honorable person.
She looked at Liang Yuan with a softer gaze.
“Yes, I’ll have someone arrange that later.”
“Let’s not talk about this. Didn’t you mention you were going to show me something? Where is it?”
“We’re almost there, please follow me.”
Wang Yu’Er led the way, and soon the two arrived at the depths inside the palace.
They saw a huge machine operating in the deep palace.
The entire machine somewhat resembles a large Cultivation Room, with many Rune devices outside.
Not far away, there seems to be a piece of energy equipment operating, with many Superpower Stones glowing inside.
“This is it!”
Wang Ling’Er smiled, and she turned around and waved to a woman in a white coat nearby.
This woman wasn’t young, looking to be over fifty, with noticeable gray hair and many fine wrinkles on her face.
She was surrounded by a group of people, both men and women, all dressed in identical white coats.
Liang Yuan saw their attire and immediately understood, his face showing a look of surprise as he asked, “Who are these?”
He had already guessed, this was most likely Jin Shirong’s research team.
Sure enough, Wang Ling’Er laughed and said, “Mr. Liang, these people are the research department of Budding, and this is Mrs. Yang Lan, the minister of Budding’s research department.”
She lowered her voice out of concern that Liang Yuan might not take her seriously, saying, “Mr. Liang, Mrs. Yang Lan isn’t just anyone. Before the end, she was a well-known genetic expert in our country, a researcher with a position at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.”
“She has led many national-level projects before, many of which related to biological genetic engineering.”
“This machine before us was researched and developed by her team, and it’s also a gene recombination cultivation device exclusively for Budding’s high-ranking members.”
Hearing this, Liang Yuan became serious.
The machine before him was actually a gene recombination cultivation device?
Liang Yuan looked toward the middle-aged woman named Yang Lan.
Yang Lan, with an expression of awe, looked at Liang Yuan and stammered: “Y-you, hello.”
She was a researcher, and although she had awakened a superpower, she was not skilled in combat.
Even during the initial period of the great flood, she had already witnessed the malevolence of human nature and understood that the era had changed.
Superpower users who mastered violence could impose their wills on the weak with impunity.
Especially in places like Mengya.
Therefore, although she had a noble status and Jin Shirong valued her greatly.
But the current Mengya was no longer under Jin Shirong’s control.
She didn’t know what capabilities this young man who defeated Jin Shirong possessed.
But she was very clear that Mengya had already changed dramatically.
She had to obey this young man in front of her, otherwise…
Thinking of this, a shiver ran through her heart.
The dark experiences at the start of the apocalypse continuously resurfaced in her mind.
Thus, her mindset toward the young man before her was one of fear, not submission.
Just as she feared Jin Shirong.
Liang Yuan gazed at the woman in front of him, who was over fifty, his expression becoming solemn.
He immediately extended his hand sincerely, saying: “Hello, Academician Yang, I’m Liang Yuan, leader of the Yangshan Shelter. I’m very pleased to meet you.”
“We also have our own research department at Yangshan. Currently overseeing our Yangshan research efforts is Professor Li Hanzhong. I wonder if you know him?”
The scientific community is actually quite a circle, and this circle is narrower than ordinary people imagine.
Generally, renowned scientists are somewhat acquainted with each other; at the very least, they’ve heard of each other.
Of course, if they aren’t in the same field, then it might not be the case.
Liang Yuan was unsure if Li Hanzhong, a prominent figure in shipbuilding, was acquainted with the academician from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in front of him.
Yang Lan was taken aback upon hearing this. She raised her head in surprise: “Li Hanzhong? Is he the one from Linjiang University’s School of Shipbuilding?”
Liang Yuan chuckled: “Yes, do you know him?”
Yang Lan burst into laughter: “Yes, yes, I know him. Professor Li Hanzhong applied several times for state academicianship, trying to enter the Chinese Academy of Sciences. We’ve met several times.”
Liang Yuan laughed: “I see, indeed capable people associate with capable people.”
“You’re too kind, you’re too kind.” Yang Lan quickly responded modestly.
Liang Yuan asked: “Academician Yang, what is this machine for? Could you introduce it to me?”
“Of course, of course.”
Yang Lan promptly began introducing the gigantic machine in front of them to Liang Yuan.
“This is an auxiliary cultivation room, primarily functioning to identify specific genes and increase the concentration of superpower energy.”
“Identify specific genes? How is that achieved?” Liang Yuan immediately asked upon hearing this.
The cultivation room before him was actually fundamentally similar to the Spirit Gathering Tower in Yangshan.
However, the Spirit Gathering Tower separates the gene-assisted cultivation and enhancement of the superpower energy field into two functions.
Whereas the cultivation room before them combines these functions into one.
Liang Yuan was more curious about how this auxiliary cultivation room identified specific genes.
Yang Lan hastened to explain: “This cultivation room identifies genes primarily through gene sequence discrimination.”
“Every gene in our body has specific gene pairs, with different gene sequence arrangements.”
“We collect different gene samples in advance to build a sample library.”
“By highlighting the distinctive aspects of each gene, when a cultivator enters the room, it’s necessary to detect the gene, match the gene sample, and determine the gene type of the cultivator.”
“Once determined, the runes within the cultivation room will activate the array to specifically enhance one type of gene’s sensitivity to the environment.”
“Thus, superpower users in the cultivation room will become more acutely aware of the genes needed in their body. This way, there won’t be mismatches during cultivation.”
“As for how to increase the concentration of superpower energy within the cultivation room, we have devised three plans for enhancement.”
“The first is the most common method, utilizing spirit gathering-type arrays…”
As Yang Lan talked about her professional knowledge, she gradually relaxed and spoke eloquently, elaborating on the philosophy behind her invention.
Meanwhile, Liang Yuan listened attentively to her discourse.
Wang Ling’Er, beside them, genuinely didn’t understand and even felt a bit sleepy.
But Liang Yuan was different; he had exchanged for genetic equipment and was even researching runes himself, so he had a certain foundation.
He was genuinely able to keep up with Yang Lan’s ideas.
Yang Lan gradually noticed this, and her face showed increasing delight.
No matter how she tried to imagine, someone capable of defeating Jin Shirong surprisingly had such profound knowledge in research!
Back then, Jin Shirong was almost entirely uninterested in this aspect, focusing solely on pressuring Yang Lan and the research team to develop equipment usable for gene recombination.
Due to his lack of understanding, Jin Shirong often made very unreasonable demands.
This prevented Yang Lan from fulfilling them, inciting Jin Shirong’s anger.
Yang Lan was worried about losing her head someday because of this.
Now, Liang Yuan’s demonstrated professionalism made her both surprised and delighted.
Surprised by how much the person in front of her knew, so much so that she couldn’t deceive him even if she wanted to.
Delighted because someone like this leading them might not propose technical demands that were fundamentally impossible to achieve.
Their line of work feared nothing more than outsiders leading insiders.
Thus, she was genuinely concerned that Liang Yuan might become the second Jin Shirong.
