The Man Holding the System
Blue Sea.
A private luxury yacht worth hundreds of millions is currently anchored on the sea.
Today is a beautiful, sunny day—perfect for a day out to sea.
There were a few small boats near the yacht, each carrying several pirate corpses.
These corpses belonged to pirates, repeat offenders of this generation. The coast guard had failed to capture them multiple times, which was enough to prove their experience and cunning.
Ten minutes earlier, they spotted this private luxury yacht and were confident they could pull off a big heist, since they could see from a distance that there weren't even any bodyguards on board.
A ship like this at sea is like a lamb to the slaughter!
What surprised them even more was that the ship's captain seemed to be an idiot; seeing the pirates arrive, he didn't run away, but instead remained standing still.
So the group of them charged forward with a roar, some even carrying several pistols, because they believed that taking down the ship wouldn't require any effort at all.
After a group of people boarded the ship, they realized they had made a mistake.
Because there was a very imposing-looking old bald man on the ship, picking his teeth with a box of toothpicks.
Their leader, in order to intimidate others, chose to shoot the old man dead first, to teach the people on the ship a lesson.
As a result, after one bullet was fired, the old man actually caught it with his bare hands.
Before the leader could react, the other party flicked out a toothpick.
The pirate leader's head was smashed to pieces like a watermelon, and the blood splattered on his companions' faces, which terrified them.
A group of people were about to shoot the terrifying old man when, in the instant they raised their hands, several toothpicks easily pierced and smashed their heads.
Having undergone destruction and rebirth, the Old Dragon King's strength is now unfathomable; a few pirates and their guns are no match for him.
Without this strength, how can the Dragon Soul Organization be built?
"Dad, it's been so long since I've seen you take action yourself. You're still as vigorous as ever."
He witnessed his father's terrifying, almost supernatural, skills.
Ye Qizi exclaimed in sincere admiration.
For most elderly people at this age, simply not soiling their pants would be considered a success.
But he is still in his prime, as if the years have had no effect on him.
So much so that he couldn't help but wonder if his father was even human.
"I wish I were as amazing as my grandpa."
A young man standing nearby, whose features bore a resemblance to Ye Qizi, echoed the praise, his gaze towards Ye Feilong filled with longing, even a touch of fanaticism.
Every member of the Ye Family would respect this old man as if he were a deity, after all, there would be no Ye Family without him.
He is the pillar of the Ye Family!
The young man's face was quite pale, as if he had just been seriously ill.
"Qingshan, you don't have the talent for martial arts, so there's no need to force it."
"Besides, times have changed. The more advanced the technology, the less valuable an individual's combat skills become. That's why I had you focus on studying and doing scientific research in the Ugly Country from a young age."
Ye Feilong smiled slightly and then reached out to pat his grandson's head.
After suffering a crushing defeat and leaving Huaxia years ago, he has come to realize some truths over the years: one cannot achieve great things solely through martial prowess.
Of course, without combat skills, you can't do anything!
"I understand, I'm studying for the rise of the Ye Family."
Ye Qingshan grinned, looking towards the sea ahead, and said, "This must be the edge of the Blue Sea's nine-dash line, right?"
"Yes, the area within the Blue Sea nine-dash line belongs to Huaxia, so this is where I can go."
A hint of resentment flashed in Ye Feilong's eyes.
If he takes another step forward, he will be severely suppressed by the fate of the Huaxia!
No matter how powerful or extraordinary an individual's abilities may be, how can they compare to the destiny of a nation? The power of a nation is unmatched!
He glanced at his grandson and asked, "How are you feeling now? This is your twelfth blood transfusion, isn't it?"
"I feel okay, just a little weak. Let me try. If it doesn't work, I can try changing it a few more times."
Ye Qingshan looked ahead with a resolute gaze.
He doesn't have the Qiu Family's bloodline; once he enters Huaxia territory or territorial waters, his fate will be the same as Ye Feilong's.
In order to enable him to successfully return to Huaxia.
Ye Feilong subjected him to several major reshuffles over the past three years, forcibly altering his Ye Family bloodline in this way.
"Very well, as expected of a descendant of the Ye Family. Have someone send you there."
Ye Feilong nodded in satisfaction.
Ye Qizi quickly had two bodyguards follow his son off the yacht and onto a motorboat to enter the Nine-Dash Line.
After the motorboat entered the nine-dash line.
Ye Qingshan first felt a suffocating discomfort.
His pale face persisted for a while, but the feeling quickly dissipated.
Ye Feilong was on the ship, witnessed this scene through his binoculars.
A smile appeared on his weathered old face.
When Ye Qingshan returned in his motorboat, he patted his grandson's shoulder heavily and said with satisfaction.
"The Ye Family will be counting on you from now on. The mission you'll be undertaking won't be as dangerous as your elder brother Ye Qiu's, but it will take longer. Remember, even if it takes thirty years, you must become a core member of the Huaxia Academy of Sciences of Sciences!"
He already knew that the Nine Dragons Array had been taken over by the state.
This means he will never have a chance to reclaim the Nine Dragons Array.
Having lost the Nine Dragons Array, his best chance to turn the tide, he only had one way to return to Huaxia.
Weakening the nation's destiny!
Once the national fortune of Huaxia is weakened, the power to suppress it will naturally weaken as well.
In this way, he can personally return to Huaxia and lead the Ye Family to rise again!
The method to weaken a nation's destiny is very simple: simply lead the country astray in its high-tech rise.
His grooming of his son into Ugly Country. politics is one of the contingency plans left by Tetu!
He acted as a middleman, connecting the U. S. government with the Ugly Country.
He then sent his grandson to the Huaxia Academy of Sciences, a crucial institution, to become a key player in the game.
When his status and position are high enough.
He was instructed to deliberately steer the research away from its important direction.
If a nation chooses the wrong technology path, how can it not decline?
He's resorting to any means necessary to win!
"I'd rather the Ye Family betray the world than let the world betray the Ye Family!"
Ye Feilong silently told himself that for him, family comes first, then country!
"Please rest assured, Grandpa, I will complete this mission no matter how many years it takes."
Ye Qingshan said firmly.
From a young age, all Ye Family are instilled with the idea that they must be willing to do anything for the rise of the Ye Family.
He was no exception!
"Very good, go back to Japan first. Three days later, return to the Ugly Country, and then take a plane back to Huaxia from there."
"Once you successfully enter the Huaxia Academy of Sciences, your father will give you some important materials that you need to help you produce results quickly and advance your career smoothly."
Ye Feilong made the arrangements.
Ye Qingshan nodded, just as he was about to confirm some other information.
A voice suddenly rang in his ear.
"Ding! The Host's National Fortune System has been activated. You will receive a reward once you complete the tasks assigned by the system."
"My first task is to officially become a member of the Huaxia Academy of Sciences within a week of returning to Huaxia."
"Upon successful completion of the mission, the reward is 1/5 of the Artificial Sun Design Blueprint. Keep up the good work, host."
Upon hearing this voice, Ye Qingshan was instantly stunned.
The system? Although he was busy studying in the Ugly Country., he had read a lot of online novels and had a decent understanding of this topic.
After quickly processing the news, he immediately recited it to himself.
"Are you the system? Why did you choose me?"
"The system randomly binds to a host; the host being selected is purely a matter of luck."
"That..."
Ye Qingshan began to communicate with the system in his mind.
After the few minutes of conversation ended, Ye Qingshan didn't feel particularly happy; instead, he was somewhat worried.
Getting the system is a great thing, but I have to go back to China and enter the Huaxia Academy of Sciences in seven days.
That's way too difficult!
