"Your Excellency Pasteur, what's wrong?"

For some reason, I suddenly feel nauseous!

"Should you call a doctor to take a look?"

"No need, I just endured it for a bit and I feel much better now. Maybe I'm just not used to the food from your Alliance States!"

The dispute over the order of precedence involved the Lineage of the Scarlet Alliance State commissioners and the powerful Lineage of the British Alliance State, and was eventually brought to the forefront to resolve the issue.

Since the dead cannot be brought back to life, the remaining issue is how to provide compensation.

However, obtaining compensation is a difficult task.

If the British Alliance State does not respond, the Scarlet Alliance State will have no choice but to retaliate in kind.

The matter was eventually resolved through negotiations, using a sequence-based dispute mechanism. However, this involved numerous stakeholders and had far-reaching consequences.

In the observation room, many committee members kept their eyes fixed on the conflicting targets identified by the monitoring system, while Zhou Yueyan's attention was mainly focused on Pasteur of the British Alliance State.

This is Seventh Sequence expert from the British Alliance State, and he appears extremely young.

The opponent's strength is the weakest among the Seventh Sequence individuals, even struggling to overpower some extremely troublesome Sixth Sequence individuals, but no Sixth Sequence individual has ever successfully challenged the opponent across sequence levels.

The name of Pasteur's Seventh Sequence remains stable.

Even if Pasteur was the weakest of the Seventh Sequence, his individual strength would still rank among the top ten in the world today.

This was the target Zhou Yueyan had considered for over ten days before deciding to make her move.

Zhou Yueyan's method was simple: everyone needs to eat and drink, and besides, someone like Pasteur would definitely be entertained with a banquet when he came to Western Capital City, and Zhou Yueyan was also attending on behalf of the Zhou Household.

She simply smeared some Spirit-Forging Pill paste on her sleeve and subtly touched the other person's food when offering them a toast.

The food was a medicinal dish from the Scarlet Alliance State, which masked the medicinal smell of the Spirit-Forging Pill Elixir.

Seeing that Pasteur finished his food without any reaction, Zhou Yueyan was indeed very disappointed and complained to Zhang Xuezhou a few times.

It wasn't until nearly two hours later that she heard even a tiny bit of possible information.

"I wonder if pouring 100 milliliters down their throats would be more effective!"

Zhou Yueyan felt the effect was too poor, considering that Pasteur only felt nauseous after such a long time and for even a brief moment.

She wasn't worried about Pasteur conducting medical tests, since most bodily rejection reactions would be attributed to allergic symptoms.

If Pasteur's condition were more serious, after some wrangling, at most he would be unable to eat certain foods in the future, thus settling the matter of Zhou Yueyan's poisoning.

But Zhou Yueyan was disappointed that Pasteur's illness was so short-lived that she could hardly find any fault with it.

In this situation, if Zhang Xuezhou doesn't have more advanced drugs, only increasing the dosage could have any effect.

"I need to go see Zhang Xuezhou in person and ask him how he can achieve his next step with the vomiting medicine as soon as possible. Damn it... Dad will definitely be sent to the Old Age Mansion after the Sequence Struggle!"

No matter how many wonderful ideas Zhou Yueyan had, they couldn't keep up with the changing situation.

After cursing, Zhou Yueyan felt that many things that could have been brought to fruition had vanished.

Zhou Xin could stuff drugs into the mouths of ferocious beasts, but Zhou Rihui couldn't, and Zhou Yueyan was even less likely to do so.

Ferocious beasts serve as a bridge for humans to reach the Seventh Sequence, but not all ferocious beasts are compatible with Sequence Holder.

Just like compatible blood potions, ferocious beasts also require compatibility. In Perfected Person research on ferocious beasts is limited, and it is unknown which ferocious beast extracts can help advance the sequence level.

The Scarlet Alliance State had also acquired ferocious beasts in its early years and even made extremely daring attempts. Many participants were assigned to different beasts, but in the end only Zhou Xin and Chang Kongluo were able to break free of their confinement.

For example, the Ant King Beast obtained by the Thousand Islands Alliance has essentially eliminated the suitable range of potential users, making it unlikely that anyone will benefit from it.

The ferocious beasts and giant birds that Zhou Xin hunted in Qin Meng would not have a wide-ranging effect, and it would be difficult to even promote them on a small scale, since the Western Capital City Sequence Committee did not have Sixth Sequence individuals with crane genes or similar traits.

After removing the extracts from ferocious beasts, only some of their products have special uses.

Zhou Yueyan touched a long, thin feather she wore close to her body. With the help of this feather, which guided the gene sequence in her body, she was finally able to try out Zhang Xuezhou's ability to Crane Soaring Backward Flight. However, the feather's function was limited to this, and its effectiveness would even decrease over time.

Consequently, many high- Sequence Holder still harbor an insatiable desire for ferocious beasts.

Zhou Xin's Seventh Sequence is a visible path. As long as Zhou Rihui steps into the Sixth Sequence and then possesses the same type of ferocious beast as in previous years, Zhou Rihui will have a high probability of stepping into the Seventh Sequence in the future.

This will also make the Zhou Household's power base incredibly strong and unbreakable.

The events at the Mu Nian Mansion disrupted the Zhou Household's plans. Looking at Zhou Xin, who was chatting and laughing with Pasteur at the forefront, Zhou Yueyan felt that this situation was difficult to resolve.

"Never mind, even if Dad goes in, there's still a low chance we'll slap a ferocious beast. Once Sunbeam comes up, we can hunt beasts however we want, and we can have as many Seventh Sequence as we want!"

Compared to a head-on battle, Zhou Yueyan believed that outsmarting the ferocious beast was the best strategy.

The biggest difference between humans and beasts is intelligence. This is a bright and visible direction for hunting. Regardless of whether Zhou Xin enters the Old Age Mansion, Zhou Yueyan feels that everything needs to be pushed forward.

She didn't rely on other Lineage, nor did she expect any divine intervention or plan; the solution she had at hand was the best and safest approach.

The only problem is that Zhou Yueyan is not the inventor of emetics, and she lacks a research direction. At present, she can only hope that Zhang Xuezhou's interest in emetics will continue unabated, and that he will eventually develop a miraculous emetic with no side effects.

"Zhang Xuezhou wants that conductive skull specimen. What a twisted freak! After this Sequence War is over, I'll head over there and take a look, and while I'm at it, I'll bring back ten liters of vomiting medicine!"

After pondering her little idea, Zhou Yueyan prepared to take immediate action.

She watched the battle on the big screen with utter boredom.

These competitions involving lucrative rewards didn't interest Zhou Yueyan much. Firstly, she couldn't win any of them, and secondly, even if she did, they wouldn't be of any use. She didn't lack Gene Fighting Technique, and the resources related to exotic beasts like the Xuan Turtle were mostly concentrated in the Zhou Household. Even if the Sequence Committee agreed to the rewards, they couldn't afford them.

As for the monster artifacts, she wore them on her body as toys.

The 100 million yuan cash reward is a good thing, but Zhou Yueyan's transactions often involve tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan, so her sense of money is indeed not very strong.

"Boring! It would have been more interesting to watch Zhang Xuezhou concoct vomiting medicine!"

Her eyes were fixed on the large screen, but her peripheral vision would occasionally sweep over Pasteur.

Seeing that the other person no longer felt nauseous, Zhou Yueyan was greatly disappointed.
