Opportunity Amid Turmoil

"Come on, Master Song has carried the burden of sins his whole life. It's not a loss if he drinks the medicine and forgets his past!"

In the Twilight Years Mansion, Zhong Rang, seeking stability, indeed made a good start.

With the sequence lock and the snake pit medicine working together, Zhong Rang's resistance layer developed extremely smoothly.

Although he was experiencing some nausea and felt somewhat dizzy, Zhong Rang could still clearly recognize that he was in the Twilight Years Mansion, and he answered the elementary school math questions very fluently.

The second successor was Song Xianzhong, Song Bu'er's biological father, who had even killed his eldest son in the chaos of his later years.

Compared to Zhong Rang, Song Xianzhong was more carefree, but also showed a hint of self-abandonment when making his choice.

"If I don't die, I'll carry a single-unit rocket launcher into Qinmeng from Laozi on, and the first thing I'll do when I see Ferocious Beast's lair is blow it up..."

Song Xianzhong's voice gradually lowered.

The group from the Twilight Years Mansion were not the most qualified people in the Scarlet Alliance State, but they were people who, through a combination of favorable timing, location, and personal connections, had once stood at the highest levels of the Scarlet Alliance State. They were heroes of an era.

Zhang Xuezhou may nitpick minor flaws, but he won't criticize these people's overall abilities.

The elderly residents of the Twilight Years Mansion are indeed among those with the highest success rate in advancing to the Seventh Sequence.

If this group has a high failure rate, Zhang Xuezhou can't think of any other possibility besides psychological factors.

While Zhong Rang and the others were attempting to break through to the Seventh Sequence, he also took the opportunity to conduct observations and continuously simulate his own future attempt to break through to the Seventh Sequence, thus preventing any potential oversights that might occur if any problems arose with him.

"Laozi... Laozi actually didn't forget, waaaaah~"

Song Xianzhong had always been somewhat mentally unstable.

Zhu Bufan was overjoyed to enter the Seventh Sequence Seventh Sequence, Zuo Lianguang laughed wildly, Zhong Rang was relieved and happy, while Song Xianzhong cried his heart out. It was hard to tell whether he was happy or sad.

"Committee Member Zhang, it's nice to see you again!"

The last stop Zhang Xuezhou visited in his Twilight Years Mansion was Cai Guoli.

Compared to Zhong Rang's liveliness and Song Xianzhong's madness, Cai Guoli appeared very calm.

"I have poor aptitude, so you can use strong and drastic measures on me. As long as I can successfully break through to the Seventh Sequence, don't worry about my physical condition!"

Cai Guoli repeatedly emphasized that Zhang Xuezhou did not disturb Cai Guoli's mindset, knowing that although the other party appeared calm on the surface, he was indeed flustered inside and did not know whether he would succeed in breaking through to the Seventh Sequence.

After answering his questions and assuring Cai Guo that he would use strong medicine, the old man closed his eyes and quietly awaited what was to come.

Are you confident?

In front of the mansion's main hall, Changkong Yinglian asked Changkong Yinghao a question.

"We were originally 10% confident, but after the treatment, our bodies have improved by at least 30%, the sequence lock has increased by 20%, and the medicine has increased it by 10%," said Changkong Yinghao. "If we don't dare to attempt the Seventh Sequence even with 70% confidence, what's the point of our sword cultivation!"

"Committee Member Zhang's fees are very expensive," Changkong Yinglian said.

"Being expensive is never a weakness," Changkong Yinghao shook his head and said, "It's just our shortcoming. We need to borrow the strength of Committee Member Zhang, and Committee Member Zhang also needs to borrow our strength. We need to cooperate and move forward together!"

"Does the Zuo Household really need that many gene catalysts?" Changkong Yinglian said with heartache, "If all of us join the exchange sequence lock, we're gambling the fate of the nation on the Zuo Household's weak gene research."

"It's not that serious," Changkong Yinghao waved his hand and said, "This only causes a temporary lag in Gene Sequence research. Besides, without the Zuo Household's massive consumption, could our Scarlet Alliance State's Gene Sequence research have undergone earth-shattering changes in just a few years?"

"Cannot!"

"Zhao Tianhua understands this principle. He knows very well that his group wasted resources for several years without achieving anything, and they would even struggle to catch up with the current leading gene technology. Moreover, abandoning practical application does not mean abandoning theoretical research. The existing experimental materials have been taken away, but that does not mean that they cannot be supplemented later!"

I know my own research institute's capabilities best; no one can guarantee that their research will produce any groundbreaking new technologies.

But the fact that sequence locks alter Gene Sequence is a real thing, and it's even already boosting the Seventh Sequence.

Let alone betting on research resources for several years, even if it were a gamble on the fate of the nation, Changkong Yinghao felt it was worth taking the risk. After all, once they had completed the sequence lock, they were counting on Zhang Xuezhou to push it upwards again, which was the only way to have the possibility of the Eighth Sequence.

If Zhang Xuezhou isn't pulled up, their sequence lock level will be stuck at the Seventh Sequence.

After some discussion, the two siblings finally looked at Cai Guoli on the screen, whose expression had relaxed but whose behavior was somewhat erratic.

"Committee Member Cai succeeded too!"

"Let's give it a try too. I have a feeling that the current turmoil in the Aomeijia Alliance will have a significant impact, and it might even affect our side. It's worthwhile to upgrade to the Seventh Sequence as soon as possible to prepare!"

Do you feel this way too?

"I hope it's just my imagination!"

The Changkong Yinghao whispered.

The Scarlet Alliance State has also experienced civil war. Neither Pei Jing nor Zhang Qiaoen affected the Aomeijia Alliance gained a lot of advantage because Changkong Yinghao and others were not strong enough to replace them.

But the Aomeijia Alliance is different. This country is too close to Qinmeng's continent. The nearest strait is less than ten miles away.

If Qinmeng suffers any disaster, the first to be affected will be the Aomeijia Alliance Aomeijia Alliance, which will also retaliate. Other countries will provide continuous support as needed.

The current order is chaotic, and it is unknown when things will truly stabilize. Even if something unexpected happens, whether it is attributed to internal strife or the inability to unite and confront it, it could bring unbearable consequences.

"Fortunately, we exchanged the Ferocious Beast extracts with the Aomeijia Alliance in advance; otherwise, these transactions would have had to be terminated if the turmoil had occurred," Changkong Yinglian said thankfully.

"No, no, no, turmoil is the perfect opportunity for trade," Changkong Yinghao said. "Li Yingbo and his team are already in contact with the heads of the resource owners in the Aomeijia Alliance. Perhaps we can acquire many unexpected resources at low prices!"

"What price do we need to pay?" Changkong Yinglian asked.

"They should be assisting in quelling the rebellion!"

Changkong Yinghao murmured.

No one in the world today has the influence to stop the internal strife in the Aomeijia Alliance with just a few words.

But powerful enough killing can stop all the chaos.

Given sufficient resources, and with the combination of sequence locks and gene drugs, the Scarlet Alliance State will find itself with a surplus of Seventh Sequence.

The massive Seventh Sequence group will also be inserted like a sharp knife into the four corners of the Aomeijia Alliance.

The Scarlet Alliance State is the best and most likely source of assistance for the Montes Lineage when seeking external aid.

Of course, Changkong Yinghao wouldn't mind joining the anti-parliamentary legion to completely defeat the Montes Lineage.

All of this depends on who ultimately controls the Ferocious Beast resources of the Aomeijia Alliance.
