89: Guardian Project, Blood of the Ancient Corpse
On the other side, the Luo Family Manor.
It was ten thirty at night.
Luo Juan's coming-of-age ceremony had ended, and after the adults finished celebrating, they went about their own social engagements.
Luo Juan led Guo Feng and the crew to drink and boat on the artificial lake in the manor.
They chatted about everything!
"Alright, it's almost time. Tomorrow, I need to take Guo Xiaoqing back to the capital. Guo Feng, are you coming back with us?"
At this moment, Qing Rou descended from the sky and said to Guo Feng and the crew, who were still playing.
"Oh, okay!"
Guo Feng nodded upon hearing this, then took Guo Xiaoqing and bid farewell to Luo Juan.
Guo Xiaoqing embraced Luo Juan with great reluctance.
They agreed to meet again later.
Afterward, Guo Feng drove Meng Yao's car, taking Qing Rou and Guo Xiaoqing home.
"Guo Feng, I have something to tell you."
After driving for a while, Qing Rou suddenly looked at Guo Feng and spoke, her tone somewhat serious.
"Sister Rou, tell me."
Guo Feng nodded while driving.
Qing Rou said, "Today, your identity has been confirmed by me. Under normal circumstances, those on the surface won't easily make a move against you."
"However, what happens behind the scenes is anyone's guess."
"Therefore, you still need to improve your strength as quickly as possible!"
"Additionally, after joining the Genius Class Program, try your best to advance to the candidate list for the Guardian God Program!"
She paused before continuing, "The Genius Class Program is designed to select future leaders for various major departments."
"And the Guardian God Program is equivalent to cultivating strategic nuclear weapons."
"Being a leader is not easy; you have no personal space, constantly running around, all for the country and its people, only to gain a reputation after death."
"Only with the Guardian God Program will others serve you. At critical moments, you will go to intimidate others, understand?"
She said a lot in one breath.
"Genius Class Program, Guardian God Program…"
Guo Feng raised an eyebrow, then asked, "What kind of program is the Guardian God Program, and how fierce is the competition?"
"I won't go into the specific plan; it's still being formulated."
Qing Rou thought for a moment, "But how fierce is the competition? Let's put it this way: the Genius Class Program is tentatively set for five sessions. Among these five sessions, there will be at least one to two hundred people."
"And the Guardian God Program will only select twelve!"
"If they meet the standards, they're in. If there are too many, they'll pick the best of the best and implement a challenge elimination system."
She sighed, "In the future, this program alone will cause so many internal disputes. However, it's also necessary!"
"Understood."
Guo Feng immediately understood the cruelty of it.
Moreover, it also involved many power struggles, a surging tide that had only revealed the tip of the iceberg.
Next, Qing Rou also seemed unwilling to say more.
He suddenly asked, "By the way, Sister Rou, what exactly is that thing I brought out from Mian Mountain Ninth Institute? Why hasn't anyone asked me for it?"
"Oh, that thing?"
Qing Rou said indifferently, "That's an ancient corpses that Sima Hui and three other similar experts brought back from a human ruin more than a hundred thousand kilometers away from the Third Circle Layer in the spiritual realm. Then, Mian Mountain Ninth Institute, after many methods, finally managed to extract three drops of ancient corpses essence blood."
"ancient corpses essence blood?"
Guo Feng raised an eyebrow, "I thought it was some high-tech item? What's it used for?"
"Not high-tech?"
Qing Rou chuckled, "That's essence blood extracted from an ancient corpses that even Sima Hui couldn't break through. Without high technology, how could it be done?"
"That powerful?" Guo Feng's heart trembled.
Even Sima Hui couldn't break through!
He then thought, "Oh, right, you said it was a human ruin? Could it be that there are humans in the spiritual realm?"
"There used to be."
Qing Rou replied, "According to their estimation, the spiritual realm might have undergone a drastic change and been sealed by some force. Perhaps it's even someone else's forbidden land!"
"And the effect of the essence blood?"
Guo Feng was also very shocked.
However, he also knew that others didn't know much, so he might as well seek the answers himself in the future.
Qing Rou said, "They speculate that using this ancient corpses essence blood might be able to elevate a person to a divine talent, which is SSS-level and above. However, the method is pending. So, it's not very useful right now! Besides, that box is also high-tech. Without permission from above, even if it's with you, you can't open it."
She paused, "And they've been annoyed about where to put this thing. If they put it in Mian Mountain Ninth Institute, they'd have to send experts to guard it. And there aren't enough strong experts."
She finally laughed, "So, they held a meeting and decided to leave it with you. If it's lost, they'll make you pay! If you die, then so be it! If the experimental method is finally developed, they said they'd reward you with one, allowing you to push your talent to its limit."
"Holy crap!"
Guo Feng couldn't help but curse!
The crew above sure know how to calculate!
However, this method was indeed quite cost-effective, and he was also very interested in cooperating.
After all, it was for increasing the talent limit.
His talent spirit fruit might not even be able to elevate him to a divine talent!
"Don't 'holy crap'! Many people are envious and can't even get this! This was even proposed by your dad!"
Qing Rou said with a smile.
??
Guo Feng felt a chill down his spine upon hearing Qing Rou's words and quickly said, "Sister Rou, don't mess with me. You and I both know that my illegitimate child identity is fake! Guo Xiaoqing can testify!"
"I can't testify. You were born before I was!"
Guo Xiaoqing added a jab.
Uh...
Guo Feng only felt his scalp tingle.
Qing Rou sneered, "It's best if what you say is true, hmph!"
Guo Feng knew that a woman's heart was like a needle at the bottom of the sea; you could never guess which sentence was true!
Before long, they returned to the villa.
After washing up, Guo Feng immediately began to cultivate.
He dared not be negligent!
Because he knew that as the spiritual energy recovery process accelerated, conflicts would become more frequent.
And the higher his talent, the more outstanding his performance, the more easily he would be drawn into the vortex of conflict.
Strength was king!
In a flash, it was the next day.
It was already June 11th.
"Panel!"
Host: Guo Feng.
Exclusive Level: 7.
Assets: 1624002 (currently increasing…)
Asset Increase: 12
Expenditure: 203102 / 6000000.
Body Strength: 1065.05.
"Hmm, not bad. My body strength has officially reached level nineteen! Once I get stronger, I'll use the enlightenment spiritual fruit to increase the amplification of Onefold Lightning Strike Slash!"
Guo Feng was very satisfied.
His talent was strong enough now to absorb ten spiritual energy primordial stones in one night.
He wondered how many times that was compared to others!
Moreover, he had enough spiritual energy primordial stones in hand, with 513 remaining!
Completely enough!
He changed his clothes and came out, still feeling a bit sad.
Because today, Guo Xiaoqing was leaving him to go to the capital.
To be honest, in the eight years since their parents passed away, they had never been separated, not even when Guo Xiaoqing was sick and hospitalized.
He could always see her frequently.
This time, it was Guo Xiaoqing's first true departure from home.
As soon as he stepped out, he saw Guo Xiaoqing with her suitcase, waiting for him at the door with Qing Rou.
"Brother, I'm leaving!"
Guo Xiaoqing, eyes red, rushed over.
Guo Feng rubbed her head: "Don't worry, with Sister Rou here, you don't need to worry.
He paused, "When I have time, I'll come to see you too."
"Mm, Brother, I'll miss you!"
Guo Xiaoqing looked touched, then looked at Guo Feng, "Then can you not send me Huanggang test papers and Mian Mountain Beyond?"
"No!" Guo Feng's face fell.
"Tsk, what a waste of acting!"
Guo Xiaoqing pouted, waved her hand, "Let's go!"
"You little sister…"
Guo Feng wanted to hit someone!
"Alright, Guo Feng, it's not like it's a parting of life and death."
Qing Rou smiled, extended a hand, "Give me two hundred spiritual energy primordial stones!"
What???
Guo Feng was full of question marks, "Sister Rou, why?"
"My appearance fee yesterday, two hundred spiritual energy primordial stones, isn't it expensive? Do you still want to ask for my help in the future?"
Qing Rou said with a matter-of-fact expression.
"Cough cough, can it be a little less? I'm poor!"
Guo Feng quickly said.
"You're poor? Heh heh!"
Qing Rou waved her hand, "Stop babbling. Besides, these spiritual energy primordial stones aren't for my own use; they're for your sister!"
"Alright then!"
Guo Feng truly had no way to deal with Qing Rou's robbery.
He found a pocket, took out two hundred spiritual energy primordial stones from his space, and handed them to Qing Rou.
"Contact me if anything happens!"
Qing Rou took the spiritual energy primordial stones, turned elegantly, and left, getting into Meng Yao's car.
She floored the accelerator and drove off!
"Holy crap!"
Guo Feng rolled his eyes. Not only was he robbed, but she didn't even leave him the car.
No wonder she asked him to put the car keys on the table outside last night.
"Forget it, I'll go to Tianfu New District and get my car back. While I'm there, I'll check if there's any trace of Chen Lingfeng and the crew!"
Guo Feng looked helpless, went out, hailed a taxi, and headed towards the farmhouse in Tianfu New District.
Yesterday, he learned that the spy group led by Colonel was almost completely wiped out.
Boss Li was also arrested.
Only Chen Lingfeng and Colonel were still at large.
A moment later.
Guo Feng arrived at the farmhouse intersection. Walking in, his car was still there.
"Huh, someone's here?"
As soon as he walked over, he heard a slight movement inside!
He immediately teleported over!
