ultimate cannon fodder

Chapter 20 Hu Family Patriarch

The rising sun shines through the gaps between the clouds, giving the earth a dazzling golden light.

It has to be said that over the years, humans have abandoned industry and focused on the development of their own potential, which has revitalized the earth. The sky seems bluer, the air is fresher, and every breath in the nose seems to have a sweet smell. But

Living space is still a big problem. Although houses have been built higher and higher, making full use of every inch of space and land, ordinary people's residences are still as compact and small as pigeon cages, which makes people feel suffocating and greatly reduces the quality of life.

Quality and class.

There is no way around this. The small earth can accommodate more than 20 billion people and is already overwhelmed. This is why everyone is so enthusiastic about expanding living space. If this problem cannot be properly solved, the earth will one day

Squeezed.

But no matter how far human society develops, the privileged class will always exist. Just like this manor, which covers an area of ​​more than ten square kilometers, including an artificial hill and seven or eight kilometers of coastline, is enough to make those who still have

The residents who live in the "pigeon cage" feel infinite jealousy and envy. In this era when land is precious, the size of the residence often symbolizes the power and status of a person or even a family. It is natural for someone to own such a large estate.

Will be ordinary people.

In such a large room, antique decorations and cultural relics are ingeniously displayed everywhere. All the furniture is made of solid wood, and even the bookcases are filled with all kinds of cherished paper books, showing a very high historical and cultural heritage.

.If any item in this room is put up for auction, it is enough for an ordinary family of three to live comfortably for a lifetime.

The more civilized and highly developed the era is, the more emphasis is placed on historical and cultural heritage, especially some of the so-called upper class. If they do not have a long historical heritage, no matter how rich and powerful they are, they will be ridiculed as "nouveau riche". Therefore,

, whether it has historical and cultural heritage that can be passed down often becomes an important symbol to measure a family. Even some "nouveau riche" will try their best to establish relationships with some famous historical and cultural figures, and regard themselves as descendants of many generations.

Showing the world that their family has a long history.

Behind the large desk, an old man with half-white hair sat. The lines on his face were resolute and stiff, and his high nose was like a vulture's beak, as if it had been chiseled out with a knife or axe, giving him an extremely majestic look.

Feeling. Although he looks old, his deep and sharp eyes are flashing with the vitality of a young man. Every time he breathes in, it seems to stir the air around him, giving people a great sense of pressure.

His name is Hu Weidong, the current head of the Hu family, and one of the few Dragon Whisperers with A-level combat power in the Federation. As one of the most famous families in China, the Hu family not only has a long history, but also has a long history, both in the old times and in the Federation.

During the era, it has maintained a certain degree of prosperity. Now it is even more prosperous. There are many children in the family and their fighting power is not bad. Many of them are still serving in government departments at all levels. Among the Dragon Whisperers who are fighting for the realm, there are also many children of the Hu family.

, so they have a pivotal position in many aspects, and even the top officials of the federal government are quite afraid of them.

Hu Weidong looked at the information on the screen, and then said with a smile: "It seems that the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs values ​​this boy very much. They actually asked Liu Yan to be his mentor?"

Opposite him was a middle-aged man who had a slightly similar appearance to him but was younger. The middle-aged man had a gloomy face and gritted his teeth and said: "How can you respect this kid even though he knows he killed members of our Hu family?"

, the Ministry of Military Affairs obviously does not take our Hu family seriously. Brother, do you think we should contact a few federal congressmen to put pressure on the Ministry of Military Affairs and ask them to hand over this kid!"

Hu Weidong's face darkened and he said displeasedly: "Weiguo, I know Hu Kai's death is a big blow to you, but have you ever thought about it? Hu Kai died while doing a mission. His skills were inferior to others, and everyone is to blame.

No. If we seek revenge and spread the word, it will make others think that our Hu family cannot afford to lose. Don’t say this again in the future!"

"But brother, did Kai'er die in vain?" Hu Weiguo said angrily: "Although Kai'er has low combat power, he is still a member of our Hu family after all. And that kid was just cultivated in the gene pool.

We’re just experimental subjects, if we just leave it like this, wouldn’t we make people laugh at us?”

"So what if it's a joke? If you have the ability, go to the Ministry of Military Affairs and see if they will hand the person over to you?" Hu Weidong said with a sneer.

Hu Weiguo was suddenly speechless, hemming and hawing and speechless. Although he was Hu Weidong's cousin, he was not outstanding in combat prowess, and his status in the Hu family was not very high. He was still far away from talking to the Military and Political Department.

Far from qualified.

"Okay, I will handle this matter, you can go out." Hu Weidong waved his hand expressionlessly.

"Brother, you..." Hu Weiguo had an angry look on his face and wanted to say something. It was obvious that Hu Weidong's eyes were drooping and he didn't even look at him. He walked out unwillingly, but there was a lot of resentment in his heart. In the final analysis

After all, their status was still low. If Hu Weidong's own son had died, I'm afraid he would have gone into a rage and cut his body into pieces.

Hu Weidong was unwilling to come forward, so why should he let his son die in vain?

After Hu Weiguo went out, Hu Weidong stood up and walked to the large floor-to-ceiling window. Facing the strong and humid sea breeze, he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the red sunrise in the clouds, and couldn't help but sigh.

As the head of the family, what he has to consider is not his own gains and losses, but the development and destiny of the entire family. The development of the Hu family has gathered the efforts and efforts of countless people to achieve its current achievements and status, which is really hard-won.

And in the long history, how many once-splendid families have vanished into thin air, with not even their names left? In the few decades he has been in charge of the family, he has witnessed the rise and fall of many families. He is really not willing to share all the lessons learned from the past.

The family that has invested all their efforts has followed in the footsteps of these families. Therefore, every seemingly simple decision must be made carefully and carefully!

Hu Kai's death is nothing to him. The path to the rise of every family will be filled with the blood of the family's children. If it weren't for the outstanding achievements made by the children of the Hu family in the battle for position, how could the Hu family be able to maintain its position in the world?

Among the first-class families? History, culture and inheritance may be the icing on the cake for a family, but if there is no strong strength to back it up, no matter how many bright flowers are used, it will be useless. Therefore, as long as the person who dies is not a core member of the family, he will not even

He won't even frown.

Compared with Hu Kai's death, what interested him more was the experimental subject called No. 337896.

An experimental subject that has not yet officially entered the Dragon Whisperer series, without systematic study and training, can actually release the hellfire that only a D-level Dragon Whisperer can control. This alone is enough to make everyone moved.

And after Liu Yan's careful preparation, what surprises will this experimental subject bring to the world?

Liu Yan's D+ level combat power is not high enough to be noticed by an A-level powerhouse like him, but this woman's actual combat ability is enough to put many C-level dragon whisperers to shame, even Hu Weidong himself.

If the combat power is limited to D+ level, there is no guarantee that Liu Yan can be defeated.

Combat prowess is only a criterion for judging a person's combat prowess, but combat prowess and actual combat level cannot be equated. For example, the dragon whisperers who survived the bloody battle in the realm have at least higher actual combat prowess than their peers.

The level of Dragon Whisperer is one to two levels higher. This is also the reason why the Federation sets up various testing sites inhumanely, allowing the experimental subjects to grow and make breakthroughs on their own in the test of life and death. Often these experimental subjects break through and grow.

After that, they will all have actual combat abilities that surpass others, and they will be able to play a greater role when competing in the realm.

After pondering for a moment, Hu Weidong returned to the leather chair and sat down, staring at the information on the screen, wondering what he was thinking. After a few minutes, an eagle-like smile appeared on his face, and he pressed the button on the table, and the door opened.

It opened quietly, and a thin man walked in. His face was so pale that he looked as if he had never seen the sun. His appearance was also a bit wretched, but there was an aura of command in his constantly moving eyes.

A chilling light.

The man came to Hu Weidong, bowed slightly and asked, "What are your orders?"

Hu Weidong asked expressionlessly: "Does this Experiment No. 337896 have a name?"

According to regulations, experimental subjects can have names when entering the Dragon Whisperer series, instead of being called experimental subjects with any number as before. Having a name also means having an identity recognized by the federation, and also having an identity recognized by ordinary people.

rights. Of course, before they regain their freedom, they do not have complete personal freedom. They must work for the company they belong to and fight for a position in the world until they die or accumulate enough merits.

The man replied respectfully: "Already have it. He chose it himself, and his name is Ma Jianyao. It seems to have followed the name he entered in the experimental site."

Hu Weidong nodded and said: "Please help me contact Minister Kuang and tell them that I am willing to pay ten times the price to ask them to transfer the ownership of Ma Jianyao!"

The man was startled for a moment and seemed a little surprised. In his impression, Hu Weidong was an extremely shrewd person. Even if this new dragon whisperer named Ma Jianyao killed Hu Kai, he would not spend so much unnecessary money to buy

Return his ownership and then take revenge on him? Therefore, after hearing the order, he did not carry it out immediately. Instead, he raised his head and glanced at Hu Weidong. Only after confirming that he heard correctly, did he leave full of doubts.

Got out.

After the man went out, Hu Weidong smiled, turned around and looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window, but his thoughts gradually flew away.
