Chapter 12
Complicated Family
“Elder brother, the quality of your planet isn’t bad. If you successfully developed it, it might even evolve into a seventh-grade life planet. In addition to the wealth of Fire Ant Ore the planet has, its value might not be lower than a sixth-grade life planet!”
“Eh… is that so?” Xiye stared at the little loli playing around with the planet’s data.
His younger sister was named Nicole Aldia. She was younger than what he had expected and looked to be like a child of 200 years old. Her appearance was very different from him. Xiye had inherited more of their mother’s night demoness’s characteristics, while his sister resembled their father more. Her skin was azure blue, and she had a round apple-shaped face and thunder lines in her sky-blue eyes that only the Thunder Clan had. Her eyes were like two beautiful diamond stars!
However, it wasn’t too good that she was already wearing spectacles at such a young age. Her lens was extremely thick as well, and she looked like a kid who loved to study. Should he give her a set of a hundred-year simulation of college examinations
“Brother, you got cheated. With the quality of your planet in addition to having an energy mine, you can also loan ten billion from normal banks at 4% interest yearly.”
Xiye, “...”
I knew it!!
“Eh, something is wrong. Why are you so familiar with loans?” Xiye curiously asked.
“I learned it while flipping through father’s old records. Speaking of which, why did the two of you fall head over heels for the same woman? Is that woman very beautiful?”
What was their father teaching her every day? Was there any connection between getting cheated and how beautiful the cheater was
Xiye prepared to gain back some face as he spoke in a heavy voice, “You shouldn’t always judge things on the surface. My teacher is a heavenly deity that has lived for over ten thousand eras. She is immeasurably deep. She only managed to get money from us due to her incomparable experience and technique!”
Nicole: “...”
“Cough…” Xiye’s father coughed. “Your younger sister is still very young, don’t speak nonsense!”
Xiye: “Father, I didn’t!”
“Brother…” Little Nicole seemed to not have heard their conversation. She took up the data instrument and closely observed it for a long time. “Although the development value of your planet is high, due to its location, it’s pretty impossible for it to give birth to intelligent lifeform if artificial intervention isn’t used. How did you manage to nurture the green titans?”
“As for this…” Xiye was startled, momentarily not knowing how to reply. If he honestly said that he ‘kidnapped’ them, wouldn’t he seem a little shameless? This was the first time he was meeting his younger sister, so he must not give her a bad impression!
Little Nicole turned her head to the players chattering at the side after she saw that her elder brother wasn’t going to answer.
The players couldn’t understand the language they were using. They were idly discussing the looks of the NPCs.
“Wa, the overlord’s younger sister is so adorable. What do you think the overlord look like?”
“Who knows? He wears a thick helmet daily, is he not afraid of getting sweat rashes?”
“Do you think he will look as imposing as his father?”
“I think that he might be a shy and silly-looking person…”
“Nope!”
All of a sudden, a cute voice broke up the players’ discussion. They started and turned over. When they saw the little loli’s adorable round face moving closer, all of them grew excited. “Eh, the NPC is talking to us! She isn’t using the Federation Language. The plot is here, the plot is here! Who should reply to her?”
“Let me do it!” Old Master Lu spared no effort to jump up. He intentionally adjusted his accent and spoke, “Respectable...mn...princess. May I know what we can do for you?”
“My elder brother is quite handsome!” Little Nicole rebutted their earlier words.
Xiye was startled as he glanced at the little lass. He had yet to transmit the language bank to her, yet she could already converse so smoothly with those fellows
D-Planet’s language system could be considered one of the more complex ones. This was especially so for the language used in the Chinese Zone. Although there were some similarities with their Cosmos Federation’s language, it was a language that was hard to learn and master. Back then, the A.I. spent half a month before finally managed to analyze the language. For ordinary people, even if someone passed an analyzed language bank to them, they would need at least a few days to learn it. 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂
To Xiye’s knowledge, only the skill ‘Listen’ from ancient elves and ‘Understand Language’ from arcane arts could instantly be able to analyze an unknown language!
The ancient elf bloodline was a high-end bloodline second only to the heavenly deity race. There was basically no one selling it on the market. For his younger sister’s situation, it should be the second possibility. But...wasn’t ‘Understand Language’ a fourth-grade arcane spell
This little lass could already use fourth-grade arcane spell even before changing to the arcane bloodline
This talent...as expected of someone from the same source as this overlord!
He silently vowed that he must find a good arcane gene for her. He must not let her waste her talent!
Just as Xiye was thinking about the little lass’s future, Nicole angrily continued to speak due to the looks of disbelief on the players’ faces. “My elder brother is really very good looking. This helmet is something his teacher custom-made for him when he was in the Deity University because she was afraid that he might affect the studies of others as he was too handsome!”
Everyone was stunned!
“Damn, I’ve lived for so long, but this was the first time I heard that someone would affect the studies of others because he is too handsome! I must definitely take a look to broaden my horizons!” Old Master Lu took the initiative.
“I don’t believe it either. Me and my athlete’s feet both do not believe!” Fairy Maiden Smelly Feet hurriedly added.
“If one cannot study well, it should be that individual’s problem. Affecting the studies of others is merely a lousy excuse!” The top student, Raingirl No Melons, propped her spectacles up as she solemnly spoke, “This old lady was fixated on Brother Zhongji’s shows back then, but didn’t I also end up being the stop student?”
“Actually, I don’t believe it either.” Little Nicole suddenly turned her head and giggled. “There are no photos at home, and everything I said earlier was what my mother told me. She also said that the helmet of his is worth a few million!”
His father spent a few million to get this stupid helmet for him because that teacher suggested it? Xiye’s eyes twitched. He suddenly felt that the reason why his family lost all their fortune seemed to have no connection to him entering the Deity University. Why did his grandfather let a wastrel like his father inherit the clan leader’s position back then
“Elder brother, why don’t you take off your helmet for us to take a look?” Nicole pulled on Xiye’s hand as she acted coquettishly.
This was the first time someone acted coquettishly to him. Xiye felt his heart melting quickly. He could no longer summon a solemn tone and could only forcefully stifle it, refusing to speak.
The last time he involuntarily took off his helmet, something terrible happened because he was too good looking. Up until now, that incident still left a shadow in his heart. This was also the reason why he was adamant about wearing that helmet even during his sleep now!
Xiye’s father sighed at the side. He carried Nicole up and spoke, “Don’t be naughty. Your brother’s appearance truly cannot be revealed in public…” After speaking, he hesitated as though he thought of something terrifying. He then shook his head. “As for this matter, I’ll tell you about it in the future.” f𝗿𝗲e𝒘e𝚋n૦𝘃𝙚𝑙.com
Upon hearing this, Nicole could only resentfully reply, “Alright then…”
Is this real or fake? The players all started. Although they didn’t understand what Xiye’s father was talking about. From his tone, it seemed that a calamity would happen the moment he took off his helmet
What was this bullshit
————————————–
At the same time, in a certain location at the Purple Glorious Planet of the Federation, a tall and muscular thunder warrior received the news of Xiye’s return from a report by his subordinate when he was strolling in a park.
This muscular person from the Thunder Clan looked extremely soldierly. His appearance bore a 70% to 80% resemblance to Xiye’s father, but he was much more imposing. Compared to a half-baked person like Xiye’s father, he looked more like an overlord character with authority and power!!
The Purple Glorious Planet was one of the ten great administrative planets of the eastern part of the Federation. It was once the area where ancient elves originated from. The energy index of the planets was very high, and all the buildings on the planet were constructed from the unique purple dragon crystals that could only be found on the planet, making it so that every inch of land was extremely expensive, top ten in terms of price in the entire Federation!
Those who could be stationed on this planet were all old clans with deep foundation and history lasting over one era. The Aldia Clan was only able to barely meet the qualifications to move in after he became an interstellar marshal!
That’s right, he was none other than the patriarch of the Aldia Clan of this generation, Longjue Aldia!
Longjue could be said to be the thunder warrior with the greatest accomplishments in the history of the Aldia Clan. He was just a step away from leading his clan into the threshold of the upper-class nobility, but sadly, his efforts went for naught. He failed to take the step and become a dragon-grade lifeform!
In truth, he had had a 30% chance at the end. However, he didn’t dare to take the risk. Once his evolution failed, the gene he was purifying wouldn’t be retained, and all his effort throughout the years would be wasted!
This was the sorrow of the patriarch of a clan. He couldn’t stake it all in a single gamble and had to consider his inheritance. Ultimately, he decided not to take the risk. He chose to condense his heart’s blood to extract his gene out instead.
Once his gene was extracted, it would mean that his evolution path would grid to a halt forever!
Up until now, he had been an idle old man who spent tens of thousands of years leisurely. He only had a few tens of thousands of years left in his lifespan…
The amount of time he could take care of his family also grew increasingly lesser.
But luckily, the juniors of this generation could still be considered promising. A thunder warrior with talent no lesser than him was born. In truth, there was another heavenly deity with even higher talent. It would be great if the two of them didn’t fight and scheme against each other...
Longjue sighed lightly. As an old monster that had been alive for so many years in addition to being able to become a subordinate that managed to become an interstellar marshal of a peak overlord, how could he not be able to tell that his eldest son was taking advantage of his younger son
However, he also had had some selfish motives back then. The main thing was he really hoped that the clan would be able to have a deity overlord. After all, once that happened, the status of the clan would be raised to another level. Maybe, his eldest son also saw this point which was probably why he dared to blatantly hoodwink his younger brother, right
Now, it could be said that his eldest son’s wishes were fulfilled. His younger son’s family was conned badly, even losing the position of the clan leader, including all their wealth and their purified genes. His eldest son truly treated his younger brother like an enemy. If it wasn’t for him still being around, he didn’t know what sort of over-the-top things his elder son might do!
When he thought of this, he was helpless and had no solutions either. Right now, his eldest grandson, Rennes, was a pillar of their clan. Despite being so young, he had already evolved to the twelfth-grade, and this was even more outstanding compared to himself in the past. This caused him to silently consent to some of the things his eldest son was doing.
But he was also partially at fault. He didn’t expect their clan’s foundation to be so shallow that the expenses overcame it. He had underestimated the ability of the Deity University to cheat school fees.
After Xiye graduated, the clan could at most provide an eighth-grade life planet for him. As for the possibility of continuing to invest in him, the possibility was low. On the contrary, Rennes was at the golden stage of rapidly evolving. At that time, he could only choose to focus all their resources on something that was stable like Rennes and had to silently consent and allow Xiye to do interstellar exploration!
But what he didn’t expect was that Xiye actually didn’t die outside and was even fortunate enough to find an eighth-grade life planet with a second-grade energy mine on it!
This was an unexpected joy and he should have felt gratified. But on the contrary, he actually felt a hint of worry at this moment.
The situation between the families of his elder son and second son was already like fire and water. It was one thing if only one of them was strong. Who could have thought that Xiye was also so capable
Hence, this might not be a good thing. Sometimes, the decline of a family didn’t come from external threats but internal factors behind closed walls instead!
