Li Siyuan's uncle is only ten years older than her.
In Li Siyuan's memory, her uncle was in poor health and often fell ill, but his pale face always wore a faint smile, and he doted on Li Siyuan, his only niece.
As Song Xiaozhu recalled the memories in her mind, she felt a strong sense of incongruity.
Just like this high-definition image, outside the window is an endless expanse of pure white mist. The entire composition is clean, bright, and clear. But the man sitting in the very center is like an abyss, using a morbid tone to announce an absurd, cruel, and inhumane declaration of ambition.
Inheriting the Han-Tang Group?
Inheriting this first chaebol, which has dominated the new generation and possesses supreme power and wealth?
Song Xiaozhu saw a list filled with malice— the God-Favored.
Name: Fan Cang.
Origin: Test Site No. 49.
Slaughter Value: 20,000.
Rank: 13.
Song Xiaozhu quickly flipped through the list and saw countless unfamiliar names.
Until the very last one.
Name:
Origin: Test Site No. 49.
Slaughter Value: 0.
Rank: 199.
Note: Slaughter Value too low to detect name.
The only " God-Favored " on the entire list without any information.
It's because she didn't choose to kill after gaining this astonishing power!
Chapter 84
Song Xiaozhu opened the task module, where the Fixed Quest displayed her various stats.
Leadership Value: 100
Transaction Value: 89
Slaughter Value: 10
She has already accumulated a lot of Leadership Value and Transaction Value, but the reason it shows so little is because she has exchanged them for Quantum Coin.
Especially the Leadership Value, which is probably already over 100,000.
Her Slaughter Value wasn't zero; those ten points were from the Polluted Beast she killed to complete her Growth Quest.
So, is she the one with the Blank name?
There are no more people from Test Site No. 49 on the list of those God-Favored.
Apart from Fan Cang, it's Blank.
Song Xiaozhu is that Blank.
Looking at the Slaughter Value on the list, Song Xiaozhu roughly understood that these numbers represented countless human lives lost.
Fan Cang's Slaughter Value is 20,000; this is not Polluted Beast, but a human.
He killed 20,000 people, or 20,000 people died because of him.
After the safety cordon in Ink City was broken, nearly 7,000 people died in the Scavenger Community, and nearly 3,000 died in Deer Town...
That's ten thousand people.
Fan Cang was ranked 13th. Song Xiaozhu continued scrolling up, and the numbers were shocking.
10th place: Helan Jing, Slaughter Value: 30,000.
Ninth place: Ci Yu, Slaughter Value: 50,000.
8th place: Li Shengsheng, Slaughter Value: 60,000.
7th place: Feng Qing'er, Slaughter Value: 70,000.
Sixth place: Chu Tanyu, Slaughter Value: 80,000.
Fifth place: Matsuyama Ichi, Slaughter Value: 83,000.
Fourth place: Xi Yun, Slaughter Value: 85,000.
Third place: Su Wenjun, Slaughter Value: 90,000.
Second place: Gao Mingshu, Slaughter Value: 95,000.
First place: Shang Xiaoyue, Slaughter Value: 100,000.
Behind those empty numbers is a person.
Song Xiaozhu once again felt the absurdity and cruelty of this world.
After the cataclysmic disaster, human civilization finally had a chance to breathe, and the survivors finally established their own homes on this land. Why then did they start killing each other again?
What can Creator obsessed with killing bring to this world?
Haven't we learned our lesson from that disaster?
Song Xiaozhu tried hard to search her memory, attempting to recall Li Siyuan's innocent...
Search for clues among fragments of romantic memories.
Li Shihai loved his daughter dearly, but he never told her anything related to the Han-Tang Group.
Although Li Shijian is Li Shihai's younger brother, he has been frail and sickly for many years and has not participated in the affairs of the Han-Tang Group. He lives with Li Siyuan in " Clouds " and enjoys a luxurious and comfortable life like that of Garden of Eden.
Li Siyuan knew nothing about the outside world. She was unaware of the 99 Testing Ground, and she was unaware that the Han-Tang Group was using the lives of countless ordinary people to incubate a so-called " Creator."
Li Shihai must have known about this century-long "experiment".
Or rather, he presided over it for decades until his assassination.
Li Shihai died, Li Shijian took over the baton, continuing this absurd "experiment" until it reached a fever pitch.
Those God-Favored broke through the Testing Ground and embraced "freedom," while ordinary people lost their lives.
What an expensive freedom!
Song Xiaozhu suppressed the nausea rising within her and calmed the anger in her chest, continuing to examine the " Today's News " article, which was packed with information.
After the first Testing Ground was destroyed, this " Today's News " section became a dedicated space for publishing rankings of battles and Slaughter Value among those God-Favored.
This further aroused people's nerves, and the citizens of the Holy City participated intensely, not only discussing it passionately but also setting up bets.
Various organizations also got involved, and due to Li Shihai's death, the Han-Tang Group underwent significant changes.
Li Shijian's rise to power was not a natural progression. Many of Li Shihai's confidants did not approve of him, so they broke away from the group and formed the New Han-Tang Group.
Just as Song Xiaozhu had guessed, the Ten Nations Technology Alliance is composed of multiple medium-sized organizations.
The number of "Ten Nations" is a figurative one; there are actually many more organizations. The leader they elected was a young woman under thirty years old An Wenmiao.
Then there's the Day After Tomorrow Society, which can be considered the Han-Tang Group's mortal enemy.
Unlike other organizations, the Day After Tomorrow Society operates outside the Holy City, dedicated to rescuing displaced ordinary people and finding them new shelter.
The Testing Ground was not completely waterproof; the safety barriers were occasionally damaged.
