The Zhao family owns villas in Changqing City, which are residential properties, and some of their projects are displayed in rows. The related companies are located in the suburbs of the city.

In the morning, Zhang Xuezhou and others visited the Zhao family's residence and had close conversations with Li Yingbo and others, which included discussions on various potential collaborations.

The arrival of the digital sequence committee members did not cause any disputes or incidents; on the contrary, they expressed an intention to cooperate, which greatly excited the Zhao family.

From initial nervousness to fluent answers, many members of the Zhao family were all smiles.

After a simple lunch, the area visited changed to the Zhao family's breeding base in the suburbs of Changqing City.

"Old Master Zhao's land is quite large," Li Yingbo exclaimed.

"According to the breeding plan of Luo'an Province, the provincial department has allocated 60,000 mu of breeding base in Changqing City to us," Zhao Changqing said honestly. "There are five other such breeding bases in Luo'an Province, all of similar size, and those five companies are all following the breeding base in Changqing City for cultivation!"

For the Sequence Committee, which nearly overthrew the influence of the Luo'an Province, the extent of the Zhao family's planned land use could be easily determined with a simple investigation.

Rather than being questioned, Zhao Changqing preferred to answer honestly.

If the committee is sincere in its cooperation and willing to promote the Zhao family's genetic seeds to other provinces and cities, this can roughly estimate the share of genetic seeds that the Zhao family can provide.

"Our conventional breeding base here covers 55,000 mu, special breeding crops cover 3,000 mu, and there are nearly 2,000 mu of areas belonging to the fault zone," Zhao Keqing said. "It will take us about fifteen minutes to circle around the edge using our aircraft!"

"It's a pity it's not autumn yet, making it difficult to compare the differences between crops and samples," Li Yingbo lamented. "The promotion of our crop gene strains requires such a long cycle!"

"That's how agricultural development works," Zhao Keqing nodded, "Especially now that grain crop cultivation is nearing saturation and there's no shortage of food, the demand for high-yield crops isn't as great!"

"Therefore, we have partnered with the Luo'an Province College and Changqing College to focus on improving the taste during our research and development, aiming to enhance the flavor without reducing production," Zhao Changqing said.

"You are at the forefront of breeding research," Li Yingbo nodded. "Based on our current knowledge, even Western Capital City's gene breeding is only on par with yours. Judging from laboratory samples, at least half of Western Capital City's crops are inferior to yours. Moreover, Western Capital City has relatively little research on natural taste, but many companies are developing and researching additives!"

"Chemical additives haven't been filtered through the food ingredients, so they directly corrode the human body, causing harm rather than benefit," Zhao Changqing said. "Natural flavors are the flavors that are suitable for the human body!"

"That's true," Li Yingbo nodded repeatedly, "Only purely natural crop varieties are suitable for human absorption."

Li Yingbo either praised or agreed.

His expression and demeanor were calm, but Li Yingbo's inner thoughts were far from empty.

After visiting five prominent Lineage in Luo'an Province, they finally got to investigate the key Lineage they were looking for.

Wang Haoran, who was in charge of investigating ancient books in Luo'an Province, agreed with Zhang Xuezhou's point of view, while Zhang Xuezhou relied more on his senses to make judgments.

Li Yingbo didn't know whether this judgment was accurate or not, but Zhang Xuezhou had mentioned that Huang Daoxian liked to target emperors and was also quite likely to use his methods against the chairman of the Sequence Committee.

This made Li Yingbo somewhat wary, and he felt that he should keep a certain distance from the Zhao family.

He looked around the cramped space inside the aircraft, rarely glancing down at the breeding base, but instead looking ahead from time to time.

"It seems Chairman Li is more eager to see the combat-capable genetic seeds!"

After some conversation, Zhao Keqing noticed that Li Yingbo's gaze kept drifting ahead. He realized that there was a mistake in how they were showing Li Yingbo the area. They couldn't get a close look at the areas they flew over from the aircraft. Agricultural experts might be interested, but Li Yingbo was in charge of the logistics and transportation industry, so he was less interested in that.

Compared to constantly gazing at the lush green crops below, Zhao Keqing felt that Li Yingbo would be more interested in the genetic seed warfare.

"Haha, I rarely encounter opponents who rely on gene seeds in combat, so I'm really interested in learning about it," Li Yingbo laughed. "I've heard that the Aomeijia Alliance Sequence Holder are skilled at using gene seeds. They can turn wasteland into a lush, overgrown area in just one day, thereby altering the terrain and even disorienting alien beasts and ferocious monsters!"

"These Sequence Holder are nothing to worry about," Zhao Changqing laughed. "Their methods are just minor tricks, far inferior to what our Alliance States use in this area!"

"If it's not an emergency operation, but a long-term trap-laying strategy, our genetic resources are far more abundant," Zhao Keqing echoed. "For example, we can quickly cultivate species with a foul odor to repel beasts that dislike smells, or we can plant poisonous thorns so that beasts might accidentally step on them and suffer poisoning or death!"

"It's a pity that hunting exotic beasts requires them to be alive and intact, otherwise it would be much easier for us to set up some thorn traps to capture them," Zhao Changqing nodded.

"I originally thought the Aomeijia Alliance was good at using gene seeds, but I didn't expect our Alliance States to be even stronger. Old Master Zhao, you should step forward more often and try to contribute more!"

"My legs were injured by Zhang Qiaoen more than 20 years ago, leaving me half-crippled and unable to go to Qinmeng anymore!"

Have you had any past conflicts?

"It wasn't a grudge, it's just that Zhang Qiaoen was testing her skills in a hunting party in Qinmeng, and I accidentally lost a move to her!"

"So, Zhang Qiaoen was really ruthless back then!"

"Swords have no eyes. Perhaps he overestimated my Sequence Strength. Sequence Holder me is simply not suited for head-on combat!"

"That's such a pity!"

"If the Chairman has any relevant needs in the Qin-Meng region, Zhao Keqing can accompany the delegation. His combat skills in this area are decent, and he shouldn't be a hindrance!"

"This is easy to discuss!"

"Want to test your strength?"

"We'll just check Zhao Keqing's gene seed and attack test later. Swords have no eyes; we don't need to fight to verify!"

From discussing large-scale logistics and transportation to the full-scale circulation of genetically modified grains, it wasn't until most of the day had passed that Li Yingbo brought up some personal topics.

He discussed things in a gentle, spring-like manner, and his repeated promises not only pleased Zhao Changqing but also excited Zhao Keqing, who felt that this committee was too easy to talk to.

"Chairman, I heard that Western Capital City is planning to recruit members from other provinces and cities. What are the requirements for this?"

Zhao Keqing even grew bolder and began to inquire about the Western Capital City Committee from Li Yingbo.

"The threshold isn't high. As long as the Lineage in Luo'an Province agree and the candidate meets the minimum Fourth Sequence standard, we'll allocate one position as a tier committee member to each province and city," Li Yingbo said without hesitation. "This position rotates every four years. If it satisfies many Lineage in the local province or city, it can be extended for another four or even eight years without any problem!"

Li Yingbo spoke fluently and openly, without any reservations about revealing information.

If we disregard Huang Daoxian's influence, this method of local recommendation shifted the conflict that originally belonged to the Western Capital City Sequence Committee to a dispute among various Lineage in the province and city.

While it appears to have granted the position of a committee member, this undoubtedly undermines the alliances between Lineage in various provinces and cities.

As long as we prevent numerous provincial and municipal committee members from forming cliques in Western Capital City, this differentiation will inevitably be effective.
