After a sixteen-hour flight, the Airbus landed at Shuangliu Airport in the Thousand Islands Alliance.

After changing trains and taking a boat, Zhang Xuezhou found himself in a city with a completely different style from the Scarlet Alliance State 24 hours after making the decision to go to the Tuer tribe.

The city's buildings are mostly domed, and compared to modern brick and concrete cities, this city, which is transliterated as Tutlam, still has a large number of buildings with earth and wood structures. The buildings are also relatively short, mostly six stories high.

To put it nicely, it's a pastoral and natural style; to put it bluntly, it's a sign of relatively underdeveloped infrastructure.

"Our conditions are limited; even with advanced technology, we can't achieve it here!"

The overall technological strength of the Thousand Islands Alliance is among the top two or three in the world. After Zhang Xuezhou was slightly surprised, Turkalando explained the reasons.

They had used the best means of transportation, including privileges granted to Ren Anran and Turkalando, but it still took twenty-four hours.

For ordinary people, such a cross-border journey not only takes more than two days, but it also takes one to two days to get from Shuangliu Airport to Tutlam.

Even the city of Tutlam did not have a large airport due to its geographical structure and other reasons.

Consequently, it is quite difficult for such regions to develop, and even technological advancements cannot bridge the gap.

But life in Tutlam was clearly very rich.

As Zhang Xuezhou passed by, he would peek out from various places and see dozens or even hundreds of people dancing in groups, while others played musical instruments, sang, and prayed. This was a sight rarely seen in Western Capital and Sudong City, and even in the Scarlet Alliance State.

"We Turs have always been this carefree, and now that we have enough to eat and wear, it goes without saying," Turkalando explained.

"Most people in Turk don't seem to have high material desires," Ren Anran explained. "We might want to eat something nice, but as long as they can fill their stomachs, they don't care what tomorrow will bring!"

"Like this?"

"You should know about our mediocre cookie production lines; twenty percent of our cookies are bought by the Turks!"

The Ren Household controls several production lines that manufacture biscuits, cat food, and dog food. Their annual dividends are only a little over a million yuan. Zhang Xuezhou used to think they were small factories, but after learning more about them, he realized they were actually large factories.

It must be said that in this era of rapid agricultural development, the profit margins of various grain crops have become ridiculously low, with even large manufacturers making very little profit.

These factory production lines exist primarily to address employment issues within the process, rather than as a means of generating profit. Some factories even need to continue operating despite operating at a loss.

Ren Anran mentioned the low desires of the Tuer people in terms of their diet, clothing, and accommodation, unlike Tuerkalando who attributed the reasons more to geographical advantages.

Zhang Xuezhou was verified shortly afterward.

Riding a tram that required a special pass, they passed through a dense forest and came into view the heart of Tutlam.

Shrine.

As usual, it is a building with multiple layers of domes, but the entire building is made of white jade, which makes it look more sacred.

This area not only contains numerous shrines and places many Soul Jade objects, but also houses the chiefs and elders of the Tuer tribe, as well as some high-end laboratories.

It's no surprise that such areas are guarded every three or five steps; even Turkalando can't wander around and can only go back to his home first.

What surprised Zhang Xuezhou was that the chief's residence was also quite simple, and the conditions were not much more luxurious than the villas they had bought.

Perhaps because it was prayer time, no one was home in Turkalando's house.

After a quick wash, Turkalando brought out a variety of convenient snacks for the guests.

These are mostly foods that only require boiling water or heating.

"Is this what you usually eat at home?" Zhang Xuezhou asked in surprise.

"I ate this at your house too!"

Turkalando muttered something, indicating that she ate these convenience foods no matter where she was.

As long as the nutrition is balanced, she doesn't care about the taste of the food.

Of course, the Tuer tribe also has its own culinary culture, but their cuisine is not very popular nowadays.

The three had been traveling all day. Although they had been provided with some food along the way, it was undoubtedly a necessity for them to eat and replenish their energy.

At that moment, everyone disregarded everything else; some were brewing biscuits, some were heating them, and Zhang Xuezhou was even munching on a box of biscuits printed with the words "Scarlet Alliance State" on the packaging.

Only when they heard footsteps and the door opening did everyone turn around.

A middle-aged woman, who appeared to be in her forties, entered through the door carrying a long staff inlaid with soul jade, causing Turkalando to exclaim, "Mom!"

The other party was Turcolando.

Her appearance is similar to Turcalando's, but unless one is blind, it is clear that her age cannot be misjudged.

Thinking of the trouble caused by Ren Anran and the others mistaking him for someone else, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but glance at Ren Anran.

"This is the first time I've ever seen this either!"

Ren Anran spoke in a low voice, then quickly stood up.

She was about to bow to Turcarando when she realized that the other man's gaze was completely fixed on her, ignoring Turcarando and not even replying.

"Aunt..."

"You've come back to inherit, haven't you?"

Turkorando looked at Ren Anran, his gaze sweeping around before finally settling on the soul jade with the hanging rope.

There was a strange look on her face, but she admitted it anyway.

"Now that you have defeated Kalando and obtained the Soul Jade from her, you are the sixty-eighth in line to inherit the Tuer clan," Tuer Kalando said.

"Ah?"

How could this happen?

Turkalando and Ren Anran both exclaimed in surprise.

The trouble between Zhang Xuezhou and Turkalando was resolved, but Ren Anran's troubles were clearly on the horizon, and even Turkalando's troubles followed closely behind.

"No matter what, you are still my daughter in name, and I can grant you the corresponding inheritance rights," Turcorlando said. "I heard there's another boy who's grown up, but it seems he's not doing very well, which is a real pity!"

"But I didn't think about inheriting anything, and I don't want to inherit anything!"

Ren Anran was taken aback, but after a dozen seconds of Turcolando's gaze, her head began to spin a little, and she nodded in agreement.

"From today onwards, your name will be Tu'er'anlando!"

On the first day of entering the Tuer tribe, things took a strange turn.

Ren Anran directly replaced Turkalando, and was even renamed.

Zhang Xuezhou stood up and clapped his hands until they were red as he offered his congratulations. When Turcolando mentioned holding an elders' meeting to announce the matter and then leaving, a sudden realization flashed through his mind, and he shuddered before his mind could barely return to normal.

Here's a brief explanation of the Ren Household's businesses.

I saw a comment saying that Ren Household's factory only makes so little money in a year, so is the monetary system collapsing?

In the era of the genetically modified crop boom, it was the seed companies, not the processing plants, that made money. These companies operated with the aim of securing employment rather than making a profit, so their dividends and profits were not very high. This was also one of the industries that the Western Capital Lineage did not like to control, which is why it eventually fell into the hands of the declining Ren Household.
