"That’s right, I’ve seen in the academy’s ancient books that adult Kuns have the ability to traverse voids," Wang Luqiu spoke with eyes shining brightly. "If I have the chance to wage war in another world and conquer vast territory, I can proclaim myself as emperor. Dao Artifacts are just National Guardian-level treasures, and there are already two in our Daqian, not uncommon. Unlike Kuns, if you miss the chance to get one, who knows when you’ll get another opportunity."
"..."
Her words made everyone present look at her in amazent, especially Wang Shouzhe, whose mouth twitched as he involuntarily rolled his eyes at her.
His sixth sister really doesn’t let go of her imperial ambitions, does she? Does she intend to fulfill the boasts she made as a child?
Also, what does she an by ’Dao Artifacts are just National Guardian-level’? Aren’t National Guardian-level treasures desirable? Others want them but can’t have them at all~
However, Luqiu’s words might not be without rit. Having a Dao Artifact is the advantage for early strength as it can be used imdiately, whereas a Kun is strong in the late stage and requires gradual developnt.
Of course, Kuns also have a drawback, which is that feeding them in the early stages is very costly!
"I also think Kuns are great," Wang Anye chid in, though young, he has the right to voice his opinion. "Great-grandfather has always coveted the overseas market, right? Having a Kun to help open sea routes would be much safer. As for food, a Kun in the sea can take care of part of it by itself."
"Since Anye also says so, then let’s first take the Kun," Wang Shouzhe decided with finality, too lazy to listen to any more debate. "As for money-making, don’t rush, once we open up vast territories in the Outer Domain, our wealth will also continue to grow. Regarding family defense, we now have several ’Commander’s Care’ Tokens, which give us a bit of self-protection."
Wang Anye was dumbfounded.
Great-grandfather, you’re giving too much face! I just said it casually, and now a major family decision is made in such a hasty manner?
"Since this is Anye’s request, Anye, you must be responsible for taking care of the young Kun and teaching it basic cultural knowledge," Wang Shouzhe declared. "When it’s small, it can be raised in the Zhuwei Lake, then as it grows bigger in Deep Taihu Lake... When it’s much bigger, it will have to be released in the East Sea."
"Oh, this..."
Wang Anye was about to cry.
Great-grandfather, do you have to value so highly? Besides juggling my studies, I have to take care of Grandma Lilong, and now I’m responsible for the young Kun too.
He’s only eleven, and yet he’s burdened with so many responsibilities. Is this reasonable?
The most speechless mont for Wang Anye was when the elders praised great-grandfather’s decision, claiming Anye was careful and steady, and would definitely take good care of the young Kun.
"So being too outstanding is also a burden, huh," Wang Anye thought as he clasped his hands behind his back and gazed at the sunset, feeling his heart mature all at once.
Next, naturally, Liu Ruolan and her husband’s suggestion to pick the Kun followed.
As a result, an egg appeared on the training grounds.
No doubt it was a Kun egg, the eggshell was as white as jade, resembling a goose egg magnified countless tis, with complex silver-white patterns subtly appearing on its surface, looking very high-end.
However, the size of the egg was sowhat large, probably about four zhangs in length...
Wang Shouzhe broke out in a cold sweat.
Just one egg is so big; it’s imaginable that when the Kun inside hatches, it’ll surely be a voracious eater, even more terrifying than Wang Lici.
He suddenly felt an impending sense of being eaten into poverty.
"Luqiu, you’re strong, carry it to the warehouse where it’s ventilated and cool," Wang Shouzhe instructed Luqiu and called upon his two brothers, "Shouyong and Shou Lian, lend a hand lifting it to prevent Luqiu from slipping."
Upon hearing this, the crowd, who had been staring dazedly at the egg, finally snapped back to reality.
Luqiu, Shouyong, and Shou Lian carefully lifted the Kun egg; the scene was like three ants moving a quail egg, creating an inexplicable sense of amusent.
After dealing with the Kun egg.
Wang Shouzhe then handled the remaining three rewards in his hand.
He placed one of the record-breaking rewards, a ’Commander’s Care’ Token, in his Storage Ring.
With the power comparable to a small nuclear bomb, having three tokens in storage now partially satisfied Wang Shouzhe’s sense of security, making him feel that the family’s firepower was quite abundant—comfortable!
Then he handed over the ’Top-Grade Bloodline Talent Improvent Liquid’ to Ancestor Longyan.
"Shouzhe..." Ancestor Longyan frowned slightly. "I cannot accept this. In this round of rewards, this is the only vial of Top-Grade Bloodline Talent Improvent Liquid. If I use it, what about you?"
Initially, in the plan, Ancestor Longyan thought there would be more than one Extre Modification Liquid, hence did not oppose Wang Shouzhe’s plan. Now, however, she absolutely couldn’t accept it.
Since there is only one item, naturally, it should be reserved for Shouzhe.
"Ancestor, if you don’t use it now, you won’t be able to use stalling tactics to earn record-breaking rewards," Wang Shouzhe reasoned. "Would you rather give up a ’Commander’s Care’ and a precious clearing reward?"
"Shouzhe... Did you plan your sequence to factor in my reaction?" Ancestor Longyan was a bit annoyed, "And you deliberately hid the details of the rewards, leaving no choice."
Now Ancestor Longyan was left feeling uncomfortable for taking it but couldn’t reject, as it would cause significant loss to the family; indeed, it was a dilemma.
