The world is so big, there are far too many places for the White King to hide and develop.
"Then what should we do?" Xia Mi asked, spreading her hands.
She was also tempted by the White King's remains, but risking her life for a slim chance was not an option; the cost-benefit ratio was simply too low.
Lu Mingfei is choosing to proceed slowly; if you rush things, you might become part of Norton's plan... Xia Mi, you must be patient!
"Let's see how Genjiro and the others handle it. They need to find a way to go down and investigate the situation of the White King's remains."
The system felt it was still too weak; even if the sky were to fall, it shouldn't be Lu Mingfei's turn to hold it up. It should first see how these "giants" like the Snake Clan operated.
After all, Lu Mingfei's men don't have that many resources right now; going to a depth of 8000 meters and nearly risking their lives...
"Ok."
……
Erii successfully ran away from home again. Genji didn't like talking about feelings or other nonsense, which made Uesugi Kotsugu feel very lonely, like an empty nester.
"Why does Genjiro insist on fighting the White King to the death..." Uesugi Echizen sighed.
Inuyama He didn't respond to that. He was happy to invite Uesugi Etsuyoshi, as he had no shortage of beautiful girls under his command, but Uesugi Etsuyoshi really had no interest in it and was rather uninterested.
Currently, most of the family's high-ranking members share the same attitude regarding whether to take action against the White King—they support fighting to the death against the Fierce Ghost Clan and the White King.
After all, the Ghost Clan has already made their move. As the legitimate heirs of the White King, they have no reason to sit idly by and watch these shadowy figures of the Ghost Clan uncover the secrets of the White King.
When the White King revives, the first to suffer will be the Snake-Qi Eight Families. We can't expect the White King to forgive and forget.
Not only will the clan suffer losses, but the Snake Clan's base of operations is in Japan. If the White King were to successfully revive them, what would become of them?
Uesugi Kotsu didn't want Genjiro to risk his life, and Inuyama He naturally wouldn't say anything good about Genjiro or his family... He could only say, "The young master is probably under a lot of pressure right now, and as for Tachibana Masamune... we can't fully verify what he said yet."
At the small meeting of high-level officials, Uesugi Erii, who had just run away from home, did not make any statement. Uesugi Kotsugu, who only appeared as the father of Genjiro and Erii, did not have any intention of rejoining the Snake Clan, so he was not present.
The idea of targeting and eliminating the Demon Clan was unanimously approved, but some people had their own opinions about the White King. For example, the two most powerful people, Genjiro and Tachibana Masamune, did not express their opinions, which resulted in the family's higher-ups only expressing their opinions on the White King's matter.
No one knows what the current and future patriarchs are really thinking.
Speaking of Tachibana Masamune, Uesugi Koshi frowned: "That Tachibana Masamune guy..."
There's definitely a problem, but it's unclear what this guy is trying to do.
During his years in power, Tachibana Masamune's main focus was on the development of his family and dealing with the Oni Clan. As for the White King, he, like the other family heads who were unaware of the White King's affairs, did not make any relevant statements.
If it weren't for Uesugi Koshi's sudden return, the Snake-Headed Eight Families would know less about the White King than the Demon Clan.
At least none of the Snake Clan knew much about the Abyss. They only knew from the Ghost Clan that the Ghost Clan was working on the "Path to the Underworld" in an attempt to find the White King.
When Uesugi returned, he had someone investigate the research institute that studies things 8000 meters below the deep sea. Only then did the Snake-Headed Eight Families learn that the Demon Clan had been secretly involved in this matter. What's terrifying is that the Demon Clan's choice was correct; the White King really was 8,000 meters below the deep sea.
These fierce ghosts... are not normal either.
"I wonder where Erii went, and whether that kid bullied her..." Uesugi Yue spoke bitterly about Lu Mingfei again.
Genjiro was broad-minded and could understand. In his opinion, Lu Mingfei, a capable person, might not be a bad match, but Uesugi Kotsugu, the old father, was not an option. Even if the other party was an extremely high-quality pig trying to steal his own cabbage, it was still unacceptable.
When this topic came up, Inuyama He didn't dare to say anything more and just drank silently.
Genjiro and Tachibana Masamune were also having a private conversation. Although Tachibana Masamune's personal identity was suspicious, Genjiro had been mentored and guided by him for many years.
If it weren't for the problematic identity of Tachibana Masamune that caused a rift, the relationship between Genjiro and Tachibana Masamune would probably have been very good.
However, Genjiro found it strange that Tachibana Masamune did not express his opinion at the meeting.
His hesitation stemmed from whether or not to seek the help of Kassel College. Kassel College was quite powerful, and if they were brought in to deal with the White King's matter, it might significantly increase their chances of victory, which would be better than the Snake Clan fighting alone and would also save many lives.
Besides the White King, there's also the army of corpse guards who were buried alive in the Abyss. If the bomb explodes, it's unknown whether the White King will die, but these scattered corpse guards will definitely be awakened. They'll be like cockroaches scattering out of the sewers, making them somewhat troublesome to deal with.
In response to Genjiro's question, Tachibana Masamune said, "I'm thinking about what yield of nuclear weapon would be appropriate."
His idea was to use nuclear weapons to pave the way and see how things went. Since they were going to take down the White King, they should go all out first and see if they could catch the White King off guard!
Determined to destroy the White King!
……
"Uncle, first like this, then like this, and finally like this..." Panpan explained the principles of alchemy to Old Tang.
Old Tang nodded, indicating that he understood.
He thought that Lu Mingfei had sent him back to China to work day and night in a black factory, just like the illegal coal mines in the news.
But no, after sending Lao Tang back, Su Enxi sent someone to tell Lao Tang about the Dragon Clan. After Lao Tang was shocked by the truth of this world, he was locked in the Dragon Clan Knowledge Library.
Old Tang, whose Chinese wasn't very good, naturally found these Chinese books difficult to understand.
But he was lucky; the first book he got was about alchemy. After spending a whole day reading it, he went on to read two more, and then immediately reported to Su Enxi, "I understand!"
Without a hint of doubt, he confidently declared, "I can do it!"
Su Enxi was also quite shocked. You understand after only flipping through a few books on alchemy?
However, she didn't have many alchemy talents under her command, and even if she did, she didn't have them with her at the moment.
Unless someone like Panpan has the Samadhi Fire to quickly master metal alchemy, an alchemy lab usually requires a very large laboratory for related research.
So she casually sent Panpan, the little alchemist, over to test Old Tang's abilities. She also came to see what kind of extraordinary talent had mastered alchemy in just three days.
After nodding, Lao Tang began operating the simple control panel.
Without the convenience of the power of words like Samadhi Fire, tools have to be used to make up for it, but... Old Tang wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked the cute little girl, "Is it okay? I feel like I didn't make any mistakes."
Panpan nodded. Old Tang had indeed made no mistakes. He had completed the alchemical forging in a very standard way.
In three days, I successfully created a very basic alchemical artifact, which is very beginner-level.
It seems to be much slower than Panpan's speed of getting started in a day.
However, Panpan was taught directly by the system, while Lao Tang spent most of his time reading Chinese books over the past three days. Because of his poor Chinese, it caused him some reading difficulties! He had to spend most of his time trying to understand what was written in the books.
After understanding the words in the book, there was no Lu Mingfei to explain the key points to him; he had to figure it out on his own. And then, Panpan also possessed the top-tier talent of a metal alchemist, "Word Power: Samadhi True Fire"...
After considering it, Su Enxi was quite surprised. No wonder the boss personally sent her personal materials. What else could she be but a genius?
It's equivalent to having the understanding of the Samadhi Fire Alchemy technique, as well as an exceptionally strong personal comprehension ability.
So, after checking the quality, Lao Tang was immediately reported to Lu Mingfei by Su Enxi.
Ronald Tang, in the end, was still Lu Mingfei's subordinate.
Lu Mingfei, who had just finished discussing Bai Wang's information, was about to call Su Enxi when Su Enxi dialed first.
Su Enxi said, "Hey, Lu Mingfei, this Ronald is a real talent!"
Lu Mingfei asked, "What kind of talent method?"
"An alchemical genius! He spent three days studying books, even though he wasn't very familiar with Chinese, and now he's already mastered the basics of alchemy! What else could he be but a genius?"
"He's mastered the basics of alchemy?" Lu Mingfei was taken aback.
“Yes, Panpan has already been verified,” Su Enxi said. “What’s his study plan going to be next?”
The system analyzed the situation as follows:
[...He grasped alchemy in three days despite his unfamiliarity with Chinese and difficulty reading... Perhaps we could try teaching him advanced alchemy directly...]
As for the difficulty... can a genius who can't skip grades still be called a genius?
Before Chapter 125, I thought I was a little monster.
A genius is someone who can do things that ordinary people cannot.
In the realm of genius competition, the younger generation of geniuses never wait for their predecessors to gradually retire before taking their place. Instead, they directly seize the positions of their older, declining predecessors.
With Old Tang's unparalleled talent, if he can't even skip grades, then... it can only mean that Old Tang isn't a genius enough.
After telling Su Enxi what book she wanted to show Old Tang, Lu Mingfei then talked to her about the news he had just received.
The information that Su Enxi had been frantically searching for these past two days could only be found in some records of the White King being executed by the Black King, but it was only a hundred words more detailed than the three words "White King, killed".
The information provided by Erii is more detailed.
For example, the potential impact of the White King's resurgence—during the last White King's resurgence, Japan experienced volcanic eruptions and massive earthquakes, nearly leading to Japan's annihilation... However, the ancient Serpent Clan successfully extinguished the fire, and Japan was unharmed.
"The White King's resurgence is quite dramatic and will definitely cause a huge panic. I just don't know how long the saga will last, or whether it will force the Japanese to sell off their assets..." Su Enxi said, sharing her analysis.
After seeing the system's analysis, Lu Mingfei said, "Mount Fuji."
"Mount Fuji?" Su Enxi asked, puzzled.
"Mount Fuji is an active volcano, and its eruption requires sufficient internal pressure. Japan has the most volcanoes in the world; on a relatively small map, there are one-tenth of the world's volcanoes..."
After he finished speaking, Lu Mingfei licked his lips, as if he could see hundreds of billions of dollars beckoning to him.
He didn't know when he had accidentally come across this knowledge, but the system had unearthed these memories.
Japan's geographical location is too fragile to withstand much damage. Earthquakes occur on Japanese soil almost every day, making Japan the country with the strongest earthquake preparedness awareness education, bar none.
With the volcanic mountain range centered around Mount Fuji, Japan could suffer heavy damage if pressured—but it would be far from being destroyed, unless the White King was determined to sink Japan in retaliation.
But before the White King revives, even the slightest disturbance he makes will cause earthquakes and create a scene resembling the end of the world in Japan...
If the White King's resurgence can't be suppressed, the whole world will suffer. At that point, money won't matter anymore. But if it's suppressed, only Japan will suffer, and then we can see how much we can exploit Japan...
While Lu Mingfei and Su Enxi were discussing how to divide Japan's assets, the Snake Clan was now somewhat panicked.
After learning the location of the Abyss from Uesugi Kotsugu, and with the approval of key figures Genjiro and Tachibana Masamune, they began their plan targeting the Oni Clan and the White King's Remains.
While exploring the Ghost Clan's stronghold, they also searched for the White King's exact location, preparing to give them a big surprise.
Then a sudden heartbeat startled them.
The powerful heartbeat that had traveled 8,000 meters into the deep sea completely overwhelmed them.
After a day and a night of frantic discussion, they quietly delivered a document titled "Suspected Heartbeat of Dragon Resurgence" to the family's senior management meeting room.
After the seven family heads in the Sheqi Eight Families' meeting room finished reading the report in silence, none of them spoke immediately, but instead fell into a tacit silence.
Those below didn't know where the White King was, but they knew perfectly well that a dragon's heartbeat of resurgence was appearing above the White King's sacred remains... They thought the White King's sacred remains were still quietly lurking at the bottom of the sea, but it turned out that he had already awakened.
Listen to that strong heartbeat! It's sure to be a strong little dragon after it's born!
"And there's more bad news." Tachibana Masamune sighed and said, "In 92, the Soviet Union's Lenin icebreaker, which came from the Arctic Ocean, fell silent in this very spot. Perhaps the White King's revival was awakened by this ship."
To put it more bluntly, the icebreaker Lenin deliberately sank there to awaken the remains of the White King!
