"That's right!" Seemingly knowing what Feng Lin was going to say next, Feng Lang continued the topic.
"As long as you have the strength to participate in the clan's ranking competition and obtain a good ranking, you will naturally attract the clan's attention and escape the misfortune of going to the factory for an internship. After all, a lowly clansman was still a clansman. As long as he displayed a powerful talent, who could suppress him? Not even the Head Butler! "
Feng Lang's words were filled with an instigating tone. Clearly, he was trying to incite Feng Lin to participate in this ranking competition.
Feng Lin was naturally aware of this, but he didn't care.
Because if what his opponent said was true, this clan's ranking competition would indeed be of great help to him, allowing him to get rid of the difficult situation before him.
"This qualifier is not bad. But I'm about to be sent to my family's factory for an internship. I don't know if I can escape. Distant water can't put out a nearby fire. How would I have the chance to participate in the clan's ranking competition? "Feng Lin spoke in a low voice.
"That would depend on whether you have the guts or not!" Feng Lang's eyes narrowed into slits, gleaming with sharpness. He felt that he had regained control of the situation.
"What should I do?" Feng Lin asked directly.
This Feng Lang was definitely making use of him. However, Feng Lin didn't reject it too much. As long as he could get out of this predicament, this detail didn't matter.
There was no such thing as kindness for no reason. If you obtained something, others would also try to obtain something from you. There was a reciprocity, an equivalent exchange. This was the most reasonable thing.
What Feng Lin was considering was what he should do to obtain the greatest benefits from this.
Confident that Feng Lin wouldn't reject him, Feng Lin smiled complacently. "Then I'll think of a way to temporarily leave the clan and escape from the factory for my internship. When the arena tournament starts, I'll return with a domineering aura and display my strength, leaving the clan speechless!"
"That's it? I only need to escape from the clan? "Feng Lin was slightly stunned. This was too easy, so easy that it felt unrealistic.
"You think it's easy! Run? Where can you escape to? "Feng Lang sneered." What era is this? Even the Ancient Earth Era had GPS. In the Interstellar Era, if someone wanted to monitor you, it would be useless no matter where you fled to. I'm not trying to scare you, but if the family wanted to find you, they wouldn't even need three seconds to do so! The entire solar system doesn't even need ten seconds! "
Feng Lin fell silent. He guessed that as a high-ranking member of the clan, Feng Lang would definitely know some secrets that ordinary people didn't.
"Why?" he asked bluntly.
Since Feng Lang had already revealed some of the truth, he didn't plan to hide it anymore. "Every clansman grew up in a clan. The influence of the clan permeates every aspect of your life. Even the identity chip was obtained from the family. Do you think that the family wouldn't tamper with the chip? Naive! You lowly clansmen will not be told this, only us direct descendants of the family know. The identity microchips of the clansmen are all recorded in the clan's optical supercomputer. The clan's authority is even higher than yours, and they can use the internal database of your microchip to monitor you at any time. In other words, no matter what you want to do or where you are, the family is in control. You have nowhere to run! Moreover, the identity microchip was bound to the person and could not be changed at will. Once you change your identity, it will immediately arouse the clan's vigilance, and they will start to monitor you again … "
Feng Lang's words were like thunder exploding. It could be said to be earth-shattering.
In this era, the identity microchip that everyone needed was actually a tool used by the clan to monitor them. This caused Feng Lin to feel extremely uncomfortable.
Didn't this mean that if the clan wanted to, even his daily life wouldn't be able to escape being monitored? There would be no secrets to speak of!
Feng Lin silently clutched the identity microchip in his hand. This was a transparent card that was like glass. It was made from the most advanced technology of mankind and was incomparably sturdy. In critical moments, it could even be used to block bullets.
This wasn't a joke!
Humans could be found all over the universe, their numbers in the billions. There were scientific organizations that had calculated that there would be a few cases of people using their identity microchips to block bullets every day. This was no longer news.
Even with Feng Lin's strength, he couldn't damage the identity microchip in the slightest.
When Feng Lang heard the sound of the microchip being pressed, he calmly spoke, "Don't waste your effort. The microchip isn't something you can destroy. Also, without the identity microchip, it would be hard for you to move a single step in the human world. You would completely become an unregistered citizen and would be hunted down no matter where you go. I'm afraid this isn't the outcome you want. "
"Since you know that you are under the clan's surveillance, then what's the point of everything you told me earlier?" Feng Lin counter-asked, not losing his calm.
This Feng Lang had spent so much effort to tell him so many things. It couldn't be for naught.
The truth was just as he had expected.
"Who says there's no point? Since I can tell you the truth, I naturally have a way to resolve it. I'm a direct descendant of the clan, and my authority in the clan's A.I. is much higher than yours. Hence, I spent a great deal of effort to obtain the password to unlock your identity microchip. As long as you enter the backend management interface of the identity microchip and insert the password, you would be able to unlock the lock on your identity microchip at any time. In that case, no matter where you want to go, they wouldn't be able to track you. "
"What conditions do you have? Only then would I be able to obtain the password. "Feng Lin wasn't in a hurry to feel happy. He calmly counter-asked.
There's no such thing as a free lunch in the sky.
Nothing good would happen to you for no reason.
If you wanted to repay something, you would have to pay the price first.
"Good, you're straightforward!" Since Feng Lin had asked, Feng Lang no longer hid anything. "Firstly, I admire your courage and want to point out a bright path for you. Secondly, you will be participating in the clan's ranking competition. At that time, I hope that you can help me deal with three opponents. I hope that you won't reject me.
As though he had thought of something embarrassing, his face was filled with anger.
So, he wanted to make use of me to deal with his opponents?
Feng Lin wasn't surprised at all.
With regards to the first half of Feng Lang's words, he didn't believe it at all. However, the second half of Feng Lang's words were rather believable.
Wherever there were people, there would always be conflict. Those at the bottom of the clan had low statuses and didn't have much to fight for. Instead, they could live in harmony and live a poor and ordinary life.
As for those at the upper echelons, it was different. They might seem to enjoy the clan's resources and lived like royalty.
However, the human heart was greedy and had no bottom line. Once they obtained something, they would want more.
In order to fight for precious and limited resources, they would do anything.
In the feudal society, there were even palace fights!
The clans of interstellar humans weren't any lesser compared to the ancient royal palaces. How could such a large clan not have any conflicts? The more glorious they appeared on the surface, the more intense the conflicts would be.
This Feng Lang was willing to pay such a huge price and disregarded his face to make a deal with me, someone who had a conflict with him before. Most probably, he would be forced into a desperate situation by his opponents.
Hence, he wanted to make use of the opportunity of me participating in the ranking competition to interfere in the clan's power struggle and suppress his opponents.
It seemed like no one in the upper echelons of the clan could be underestimated. This Feng Lang might seem like a silkpants, but he was actually extremely scheming and crafty like a fox.
Many thoughts flashed through Feng Lin's mind. He had already guessed most of Feng Lang's schemes and came to a decision.
This deal could be done!
"Do you really believe that I can defeat your opponent?" Feng Lin didn't agree immediately. He had a smile that wasn't a smile as he continued, "An opponent that you can't even deal with is definitely not ordinary. You enjoy the clan's resources and have a great teacher guiding you. You must have awakened a powerful gene and your vitality stat definitely isn't low. You're extremely troublesome to deal with!"
"Rather than saying that I don't believe you, I should say that you don't believe in yourself?" Having his thoughts seen through, Feng Lang's eyelids twitched as he smiled sinisterly. "During these few days, I've tried to understand you. I can't help but to say that I've received a huge shock. You shocked everyone in the college entrance examination, jumping from a low-grade student with a vitality stat of 0.4 to 1.5. You even cleared the 20th level of the illusory martial pagoda. You are also a powerful character who pretended to be a pig to eat a tiger. Previously, you must have wanted to secretly cultivate and shock everyone in the college entrance examination, breaking free from the clan's control. Based on my estimation, your current vitality stat is definitely not 1.5. It might even exceed 2. If it wasn't for the clan arranging for you to go to a sweatshop for an internship, we probably wouldn't have been able to force you to reveal your true colors! If it's you, you might really be able to do it! "
Clearly, Feng Lang had made a lot of preparations before coming here. He had investigated Feng Lin's past thoroughly.
"Likewise!" Feng Lin calmly replied, not surprised at all.
After such a long time of scheming, how could he not see through it?
This Feng Lang wasn't a good person. He wasn't as simple as he seemed on the surface. Being a silkpants was just a facade!
However, he had guessed wrongly about Feng Lin. Previously, Feng Lin wasn't pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. He was truly trash. It was just that Feng Lin had risen in power within a short period of time, giving off the feeling that he had turned the tables and eaten the tiger.
However, this involved the core secret of his strength, genetic equation. Feng Lin wouldn't be so foolish as to argue with him.
With regards to Feng Lang's character, Feng Lin recalled the details of their previous interactions and gradually had a deeper understanding of him.
In order to suppress his opponent, Feng Lang had placed all his hopes on Feng Lin, someone who had a conflict with him before. This was simply a gamble. Behind his meticulous scheming, there was a hint of hysterical madness. He didn't even care about the face he had lost earlier. He had no moral integrity at all.
By making a deal with him, it was like asking a tiger for its skin.
No, Feng Lang wasn't a tiger, but a cunning fox!
Asking a fox for its skin? Feng Lin had to be careful not to be sold!
If Feng Lang really had bad intentions towards Feng Lin, Feng Lin wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson.
"Why? You don't dare to agree? For someone who dares to make a bet with the Head Butler, it can't be that you're afraid, right? "Seeing that Feng Lin didn't reply after a long time, Feng Lang laughed mockingly, using words to provoke Feng Lin.
"Why not?" At this moment, Feng Lin made a decision. He didn't reply but asked instead. Behind his calm smile, a hint of madness and stubbornness could be seen.
He agreed so easily, causing Feng Lang to be a little hesitant. "You agreed so easily, not haggling at all. Aren't you afraid that I'll cheat you?"
"If I don't go crazy, I won't survive! I'll talk about it after I survive! "Feng Lin calmly replied.
Feng Lang started, and the two of them instantly burst out laughing.
That's right!
If they didn't go crazy, they wouldn't survive.
Regardless of Feng Lang or Feng Lin, both of them were facing a desperate situation. Yet, they still didn't dare to fight and obediently waited for death?
