Yi's Uncle

"The demigod of the Kamishiro family has fallen?!"

This statement caused a stir like a thunderclap in the PCA Intelligence Department One of City No. 10.

In that large office, everyone who was reading newspapers and drinking tea looked up in astonishment.

Qing Shi, who was chasing after her idol, put down her phone.

Even the agents who were watching the federal game and betting on it all looked toward where the sound came from.

It felt like, in the warm spring, a clap of thunder awakens the insects, causing them to crawl to the surface...

The fall of a demigod was enough to shake the entire Federation.

Like a star falling from the sky.

Qing Shi and Qing Wen looked at Qing Xing, and Qing Wen frowned and said, "What nonsense are you Hu Shuo?"

"I'm not Hu Shuo. I received the latest daily report from the Hu Corporation Intelligence Agency. That's what it said!" Qing Xing explained. "Would the Hu Clan make such claims without evidence? They're not unscrupulous reporters who create tabloid news! Today's report not only mentioned the fall of Shen Daichihachi, but also that Qing Chen has brought back all the Li and Qing Clan personnel from A02 Base."

"Qing Xing," he continued, "This morning, two A-Class Airship picked up the group, and the medal-awarding ceremony was held on site."

The Hu Corporation Intelligence Agency publishes its daily newsletter at 8 a. m. every day, just like a newspaper subscription. The annual membership fee is 8 million, and it's full of explosive news about superhumans.

Of course, the most important information is sold separately. For example, news that a demigod has fallen cannot be kept secret and will be released in advance by the Hu family.

When Hu Corporation Intelligence Agency first launched the Internet Daily, many people said that no one would subscribe to something so expensive. However, those who said that were wrong.

Ultimately, it turned out that a single consortium might order more than twenty copies, with each faction ordering its own, and they wouldn't share them with others.

Every organization in the Federation with even a little ambition and ideas will order a copy.

Wealthy superhumans will also order one when they have nothing else to do, since superhumans of slightly higher level are not short of money, and many B-Class superhumans are already extremely wealthy.

An annual fee of 8 million is nothing to them.

If everyone else is subscribing and you don't, your news will fall far behind others.

Half of the content in Hu Corporation Intelligence Agency's daily publication is just filler gossip, such as which Awakened decides to star in which movie, which cultivator hooks up with a celebrity, or which cultivator is kept by a big shot from a conglomerate.

Another story involves a powerful figure from a conglomerate who captured a rare pet from a Forbidden Zone.

I'm just looking at these for fun, since I'm just killing time anyway.

But the daily publication also contains very important information: for example, a Forbidden Item suddenly changes hands and who owns it now, or what Forbidden Item have appeared in the Federation.

Occasionally, major events like today's occur.

Today's daily report has only two things: Qing Chen has destroyed A02 Base and safely returned to the Central Plains with more than 900 prisoners.

Another thing is that the demigod has fallen!

At this moment, Qing Wen and Qing Shi also took out their phones and confirmed that Hu Corporation Intelligence Agency had confirmed the news that Shen Daichihachi had died from serious injuries after his battle with Chen Yu!

The battle took place in the uninhabited snowfields of the north.

Compared to the fall of a demigod, everything Qing Chen did seems insignificant, but any intelligent person would notice the connection between the locations of these two events.

The destruction of A02 Base by Qing Chen and the fall of the demigod are definitely not two isolated events!

The Shadow Candidate fell silent in the office, each lost in thought.

At first, everyone thought that Qing Chen, the genius of the Qing family, was going to die young. After all, the Qing and Li families had used so much manpower and resources, but they still couldn't save him.

How can someone who has been taken to a remote stronghold in the Age of Gods possibly return alive? Unless they become a vegetable like Qing Mu, rendering them useless.

Within the Qing clan, many factions had stopped paying attention to this matter, but just when everyone was almost forgetting about Qing Chen, he emerged from that Frozen Land.

Not only that, but they also brought back all the prisoners from the Qing and Li families via Steam Train.

This move was enough to make him a god within the Qing clan. At least in the Shadow Unit, some people were already secretly calling Qing Chen the God of War, and this trend was gradually spreading in the armies of other factions as well.

The faction leaders couldn't openly stop it, so they could only let this sentiment spread in the military for the time being.

The new title "God of War Qing Chen" seems quite good, but the fact that such a member of the Qing clan was suddenly elevated to godhood above all the Shadow Candidate made Qing Wen and the others feel somewhat uncomfortable.

The Shadow Candidate should be the focus of everyone's attention.

However, it seems that Qing Chen, the rising military genius, did not return with the prisoners. Qing Wen heard that the Ginkgo Medal was not awarded this morning because Qing Chen was absent!

Qing Wen glanced at the others, then sent a message to one of his Kite Falcon: "Investigate Qing Chen. I need all his information."

After a few seconds, Kite Falcon replied, "I refuse."

Qing Wen was stunned for a moment. He was a secret agent in the Secret Intelligence Department, and he was the direct superior of the Kite Falcon.

Before this, the Kite Falcon had never refused any of his requests, but now it had suddenly changed its attitude.

Qing Wen frowned and sent another message to another Kite Falcon, only to receive a concise reply, "Refuse."

Qing Wen's temples throbbed with anger, and he suppressed his rage as he asked, "Why?"

The Kite Falcon replied with a "?".

The meaning of "Kite Falcon" is very clear: when I put a question mark, it's not that I have a problem, but that you have a problem.

You want to investigate Qing Chen, a meritorious member of the Qing clan who just received the Ginkgo Medal? First, ask all the Qing clan's intelligence personnel if they agree.

It must be said that the intelligence agents of the Qing Clan were also in a very difficult mood.

When Qing Chen first mentioned exchanging Qing Mu, an intelligence agent secretly paid tribute to him.

Later, Qing Chen himself was arrested, and the intelligence personnel became furious. Several spies went to the Caramel Bar and volunteered to rush to its rescue.

Later, everyone confirmed that Qing Chen had been locked in a pigsty, and all the intelligence personnel began to grieve.

Now Qing Chen has pulled off a major reversal, and the intelligence agents are so eager to take a month-long vacation and celebrate by drinking every day.

Of course, this is an idealized view, but the reality is that anyone who wants to investigate or threaten Qing Chen, anyone who treats Qing Chen as a hypothetical enemy, is the enemy of all the intelligence personnel in the Secret Intelligence Department.

Qing Wen frowned and put down his phone. It seemed he would have to use his father's people.

No, we should first incite others to also feel threatened by Qing Chen.

Qing Wen looked at Qing Shi: "Xiaoshi, what do you think about this?"

Qing Shi was taken aback for a moment. "So what if the demigod of the God Era died? He's dead."

As she spoke, she printed out Qing Chen's photo from the Hu Corporation Intelligence Agency's daily publication and pasted it on her desk partition.

The photo also had the words "Go, Qing Chen brother!" written in highlighter.

Qing Wen: "???"

Just when Qing Wen down, Qing Chen, who was just coming back into everyone's sight, disappeared without a trace.

In City 22, the entire city's neon lights have been changed to red, in preparation for the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival.

Various virtual stores are offering discounts and promotions, and some places have also launched synthetic protein products with better taste and dumpling shape, so that the poor can improve their meals during the Spring Festival.

Qing Chen walked silently down the long street, heading towards the District 9.

Suddenly, he saw a magician in a tuxedo standing on the street, smiling as he performed close-up magic tricks, surrounded by a group of children.

This thin and frail magician is too young; he looks to be only around twenty years old.

He took off his top hat, revealing a head of silver-white hair. When he smiled, his big eyes narrowed into slits, making him look exceptionally kind.

Qing Chen involuntarily stopped in his tracks.

But then the magician put a deck of cards into the top hat and tilted it so all the children could see the cards inside.

The next second, the top hat in his hand suddenly flipped over, and countless candies fell out of the hat.

The candies were colorful and very pretty, and the children eagerly squatted down to pick them up.

At first, Qing Chen thought there was a hidden mechanism in the top hat, that the playing cards had been replaced with candy in a secret compartment.

But then he changed his mind, because the magician held his top hat high above his head, letting the candy that fell out bury him like a small mountain.

The size of those candies far exceeded the limit that a top hat could hold!

After the magician was completely buried by the candy, some children curiously dug it open, but the magician inside had already disappeared!

Qing Chen was slightly surprised. This wasn't magic; it was clearly sorcery!

This is an extraordinary being!

Just as he was about to leave, someone called out to him from behind, "Qing Chen?"

Qing Chen suddenly turned around and saw the magician looking at him with a smile.

The problem is, when he arrived in City 22, he had already changed his appearance with the Forbidden Item ACE-005, so how could the other party recognize him?

The magician smiled and said, "Let me introduce myself. I am Yi's uncle, Li Shentan."

Qing Chen stood there, stunned.

The name Li Shentan is all too familiar.

In the history of the Federation, regardless of where it is written, it is recorded that Li Shentan single-handedly stopped the million-strong horde of the AI crisis at the end of the last human civilization.

Ultimately, because Li Shentan's integration with the world exceeded 70%, his physical body was reduced to ashes, while his consciousness was imprisoned in the vast sky.

Moreover, the other party said that he was Yi's uncle.

When did Yi get another uncle?

No, no, this is Yi's older brother, he just won't admit it.

At first, Qing Chen was curious why Yi's brother wouldn't let Yi address him that way, but now he understood—it was because of the difference in their generations...

Qing Chen calmed himself down. "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

Li Shentan said with a smile, "If you keep coaxing my niece to do things for you, causing trouble everywhere, and teaching her about online dating, I'll kill you."

Qing Chen was stunned for a long time. So that's what it was about?

The problem is, he admitted to coaxing Yi into helping him with things, but what the hell was this about teaching her how to date online? Yi actually shifted the blame for online dating onto him!

There will be another chapter at 11 PM.
