Those with zero blank bloodlines all had one characteristic.
Their bodies were weak, their faces pale, their eyes unfocused, and their expressions dull.
Shen Lang had thought that they had low intelligence, but he found that their intelligence level was not low, but they were relatively slow to respond to the outside world.
When people around them talked to them, they basically did not respond.
They were lazy, taciturn, stayed at home all year round, and rarely went out to interact with others.
They really looked like imbeciles.
Shen Lang felt that it was more like a kind of depression, a mental disorder like autism.
This group of people was not only at the bottom of society, but also seemed to be invisible, as if they did not exist.
And this kind of people with zero blank bloodlines was not hereditary, but more like a mutation.
Some people were clearly born in rich families, and their parents' bloodlines were relatively outstanding, and their siblings' bloodlines were basically also excellent, but suddenly a mutation appeared, and they became useless, abandoned by their parents and family.
Of course, most of the people with zero blank bloodlines were still born in ordinary families, unable to carry a burden, and had long been a burden to their families.
It was better for those born in rich families, even if they were looked down upon by their families, at least they still had a mouth to eat.
Those who were born in poor families with zero blank bloodlines really did not even have food to eat. They were hungry and full, and being beaten and scolded was even more common, and some were even directly expelled from their families.
Ordinary people still knew how to wander and beg after being expelled from their families.
And this group of people had serious depressive tendencies, and almost had no will to live. After being expelled from their families, they would only find a place to starve to death.
During this time, Shen Lang had been studying these people.
It was as if he had entered another world, a completely forgotten tragic world.
This group of people was sensitive, depressed, kind, and truly harmless.
Even a cold and ruthless person like Shen Lang, after hearing the stories of these people, his eyes became wet.
In the past few years, how many people with zero blank bloodlines had died silently?
Well, only the heavens really know.
So when the female warriors under Shen Lang rushed into their homes to take away these people with zero blank bloodlines, most of them only encountered symbolic resistance.
And this symbolic resistance came from their families.
As for these people with zero bloodlines, when they were taken away, they only showed a little panic in their eyes before returning to silence.
Meanwhile, their family members were cursing a few times. Why did they have to take away their son? Why did they have to take away their lifeline?
However, when Shen Lang handed over the gold coins to them, the screams and shouts turned into cries.
Each and every one of them hugged their sons and wept bitterly, expressing their extreme reluctance to part with him.
However, most of these people were dressed in rags, and their faces were sallow and emaciated. They were usually not treated well.
Shen Lang gave these soldiers thirty silver coins a month as their salary.
This price was not just heaven-defying, it was simply a super prodigal. It was ten times the normal salary of an army.
Every time he snatched a person with a blank zero bloodline, Shen Lang gave their parents and family half a year's worth of military salary and settlement allowance, which was a total of 180 silver coins.
Even in the capital, this was a huge sum of money for ordinary citizens. Many families would not be able to save up such a sum even after ten years.
"Sign here. From now on, this son has nothing to do with you."
After handing over the money, the female warriors under Shen Lang would hand over a contract.
In the hearts of these parents, this was not just a contract to sell their bodies, but also a contract to sell their lives.
But with this money, the other sons of the family could finally get married and build houses.
So, they signed the contract while crying.
Then, when this son was taken away, they hugged them and cried bitterly.
… …
Wang Da, was a person with zero bloodline.
He had been weak since he was young. His face was pale, and his limbs were weak.
His family's situation was average, but it was still passable.
All along, he had been silent, as if he was an invisible person.
He worked very hard every day. If he could not do big work, he would do some small work.
When he was free, he would sit at the door and stare blankly at the sky. Sometimes, he would stare for hours.
In everyone's eyes, he was a fool. He could not even talk to his parents normally.
So, no one called him by his name. They all called him Big Fool Wang.
He only ate one meal a day, and only one bowl.
But even so, he still became a burden to his family and was scolded every day.
Of course, no matter how much his parents despised him, he was still their own flesh and blood. His life was still passable.
But ever since his younger brother Wang Er married, everything changed.
Wang Da was chased to the woodshed. The chickens and ducks lived together, and next to it was a pigsty.
And he was beaten and scolded every day. He really lived like pigs and dogs.
After his younger brother Wang Er gave birth to two children, Wang Da's status in the family dropped even further.
He did not even have a meal every day.
Because there were so many mouths in the family, food became scarce.
Originally, Wang Da had an old dog to accompany him at home. It was his only family.
He often talked to the dog every day.
But not long ago, this old dog was also killed by his younger brother Wang Er.
Wang Da's life completely fell into darkness and despair.
It was lunchtime again. Wang Da only had one meal every day.
Wang Er's wife disliked Wang Da for being a fool. She would not allow him to eat at the table.
Every time she called for him, Wang Da would come over with a bowl. How much rice he filled depended on Second Wang's wife's mood.
When she was in a good mood, she filled half a bowl. When she was in a bad mood, she filled half a bowl.
At the dining table, Wang Da's parents, Second Wang and his wife, and the two children began eating.
"I'll call Boss to eat," Wang Da's mother said.
"What's there to eat? Skipping a day won't kill you, "Second Wang's wife said fiercely. Then, she used her chopsticks to pick up the only piece of fatty meat on the table.
Her father was a butcher. Every day, he would leave some minced meat. Sometimes, he would send it to his daughter.
"Dad, Mom, both of you are old. In the future, you will have to rely on me and Wang Er to support you. What about Big Fool Wang?" Second Wang's wife said coldly, "Don't tell me we are not only supporting two old people, but also a fool?"
Wang Da's father buried his head in his food and did not speak. He could have worked, but he had broken his foot not long ago.
Second Wang's wife said, "I'll just say it here. Wang Er's job was found by my father. He only earns two silvers a month. If you want us to support Wang Er, that's impossible. "
Wang Da's mother whispered, "Second Wang's wife, don't we still have some savings? Besides, Boss only eats one meal a day. His appetite is even smaller than a cat's. "
Second Wang's wife said coldly, "I'll just say it here. If you want to support that Big Fool, fine. From now on, we won't care about the two of you. I'll bring Wang Er back to my house."
Wang Er buried his head in his food, as though he had not heard anything.
Wang Da's mother's tears rolled down her cheeks as she cried, "As a mother, I can't just watch Boss starve to death. If he were to starve to death, what reputation would our family have? Would we still be human in the eyes of our neighbors?"
Second Wang's wife said, "That's simple. Just take him to the wilderness and throw him there. He's a fool, so he definitely won't know how to return home."
Wang Da's mother cried, "What if the neighbors ask?"
Second Wang's wife said, "Just say that someone is looking for Boss to marry into their family."
Wang Da's mother cried, "What a sin, what a sin …"
Second Wang's wife said, "Fill a bowl of rice with two pieces of meat. Send it to that fool."
Then, Wang Da ate meat in the woodshed. This was the first time he had eaten meat in years, and it was also the first time he had a full meal.
After eating, his mother even let him take a shower and changed him into a new set of clothes.
These clothes were not considered new. They were the groom's clothes that Wang Er had worn when he got married.
Wang Da looked brand new.
Then, his younger brother, Wang Er, brought Wang Da out.
When the neighbors saw this, they all asked, "Yo, where are you bringing your boss?"
Wang Er said with a smile, "A good person has taken a fancy to my boss and wants to marry into their family."
The neighbors immediately laughed, "Congratulations, your boss is going to have a good life."
"Isn't that so? Same to you," said Wang Er with a smile.
After the neighbors closed the door, they immediately mocked, "What a sin. Another life is going to be thrown away."
Wang Er led Wang Da out of the city and into the wilderness on the mountain.
This place was far enough and secluded enough. If Wang Da was an idiot, he definitely wouldn't remember the way back home.
"Big Brother, I suddenly need to use the toilet. Sit here and wait for me." said Wang Er.
Wang Da nodded.
Wang Er hesitated for a moment before saying, "Brother, after walking so far, you must be a bit hot. Why don't you take off your clothes and I will help you keep them."
He was still unwilling to part with his clothes. Big Brother, since you are going to die, don't waste such good clothes.
Wang Da took off the groom's clothes.
It was already October and the weather was cold. It was already evening and Wang Da was wearing thin clothes.
Wang Er took the new clothes and said, "Big Brother, sit here and wait for me. Don't walk around."
Wang Da nodded and sat down on a wooden stump.
Wang Er glanced at his big brother, then turned around and left, directly leaving Wang Da in the wilderness.
After he had walked a certain distance away.
Suddenly, Wang Da's voice came from behind.
"Brother, be filial to your parents."
Wang Er's heart trembled.
So his big brother knew everything.
"Don't worry, I won't go home." Wang Da said.
Wang Er's body trembled and then he ran like he was escaping.
Wang Da quietly sat on the wooden stump and continued to look at the horizon.
It was about to get dark.
The weather was getting colder and colder. He was only wearing a thin shirt.
But it was like he didn't feel anything at all. He sat there like a statue and looked at the horizon without moving.
He just quietly waited for death to arrive.
A day passed.
Two days passed.
Three days passed.
Wang Da laid on the ground without moving.
Suddenly, someone slapped his face and then a hot soup was poured into his mouth.
What soup was this?
It was actually so delicious?
This was ginseng chicken soup. Of course, Wang Da hadn't tried it before.
An entire bowl of ginseng chicken soup was fed to him.
Wang Da felt his cold and stiff body instantly warm up.
A strong woman held him up, slapped his face hard, and opened his eyes.
"Don't sleep, don't die. Look at my fingers, how many is this, how many is this?"
Wang Da: "One!"
"Okay, you're one of us." The female warrior carried Wang Da and put him in a large cart.
There were more than ten people in the cart.
Wang Da felt a sense of familiarity from these people. The same tragic darkness, the same sensitive loneliness.
… …
The probability of a blank zero bloodline should be one in five hundred. There were about six thousand people in the entire capital including the cities below.
But some of them were already dead, and some were underage.
There were only about two thousand surviving adult zero bloodline people.
Monarch Ning Yuanxian and King Chu had been acting for almost a month.
In this month, Shen Lang spent a lot of time and finally found these two thousand blank zero bloodline people.
Moreover, the so-called recruitment was just an act.
He had already registered all these blank zero bloodline people.
To be honest, at the beginning, Shen Lang only wanted to win the border hunting competition. But in this month, he had seen too many tragic stories.
These blank zero bloodline people were too pitiful. He just wanted to save this group of people.
The key was that they were not really stupid. They were just depressed, isolated, and extremely introverted and sensitive.
Shen Lang even found that these people were actually smart, but they had zero social skills.
They did not even have the ability to talk to people normally.
Shen Lang could not understand why this was, and it was a common characteristic of all blank zero bloodline people.
There were such social handicapped people on modern Earth, and they were even listed as mentally ill in some places.
Shen Lang was not a loving person.
He did not even love the people.
Human nature was complicated. The proposition of whether human nature was good or evil had been debated for thousands of years, but there was still no conclusion.
But the way Shen Lang looked at the people was mostly staring at their evil.
So he seemed especially ruthless and mean.
But for these two thousand blank zero bloodline people, Shen Lang poured infinite love into them.
It was not just to win, but to save their fate.
In fact, in less than ten days, he had already caught two thousand people.
However, he had registered more than 2,300 people with zero bloodline.
Next, he spent a lot of time, manpower, and resources to find them one by one and save them one by one.
This group of people with zero bloodlines seemed more like people with mental disabilities.
But they were pure, and they did not even have evil in them. They were truly pure, harmless to humans and animals.
For example, this Wang Da, Shen Lang used three days to save him.
Because when he sent people to Wang Da, Wang Da had already disappeared.
When he asked Wang Da's parents, they insisted that Wang Da had gone to marry into the family.
The female warriors that Shen Lang sent were all straightforward people, and did not have many schemes. They thought that Wang Da had really gone to marry into the family, so they asked for the address of the family.
Wang Da's parents really gave them the address and the family.
So the female warriors under Shen Lang traveled more than two hundred miles to that family to find Wang Da.
In the end, the family said that there was no such thing, and that Wang Da had not married into the family.
So the two female warriors came back and interrogated Wang Da's parents about where they had gone.
At that time, Wang Da's father kept his mouth shut, Wang Da's mother only cried, and Wang Er's wife started to drive them away.
The female warriors kept asking, and Wang Er's wife said that Wang Da had been thrown into the wilderness, and should have died long ago.
The female warriors were furious, and broke Wang Er's legs. Then, she found out the specific location where Wang Da had been thrown, and went to save him.
And there were dozens of people like Wang Da.
After more than half a month, Shen Lang finally found 2,389 blank zero bloodline people.
In the end, there were still more than ten people who did not wait for Shen Lang to save them, and died.
They either died in the woodshed at home, or in the wilderness.
It was a tragedy!
… … …
These two thousand three hundred blank zero bloodline people first entered Ning Zheng's Marquis Changping's mansion.
Shen Lang did not use his identity as a soldier to make strict demands on them.
First, he gave each person five new sets of clothes.
Then, countless chickens, ducks, and fish were shipped in.
Every day, they ate white rice, white steamed buns, vegetables, and meat until they were full.
Compared to the days at home, it was like heaven.
Everyone had to recuperate their bodies first.
If it was a normal person, after rising from hell to heaven, they would have long ago flattered the heavens, and then desperately tried to show off in front of Shen Lang.
But these blank zero bloodline people did not.
At first, they could not bear to wear the clothes that were given to them. After wearing them, they carefully patted them down, even if they were a little dirty.
Every meal had fish, meat, chicken, duck, cow, and mutton.
But everyone tried to eat only vegetarian dishes, leaving the meat dishes for others.
Even though they were drooling, they forced themselves not to eat.
This caused a large amount of chicken, duck, beef, and mutton to be left uneaten for the first two meals.
At first, Shen Lang and the others were shocked. Could it be that these people did not like to eat meat?
Later, they found out that it was not that they did not like to eat, but that they could not bear to eat.
So, Shen Lang ordered a separate meal system, each person had to eat a certain amount of rice, vegetables, and meat, and if it was not enough, they could add more.
In the end, after everyone ate their own portion, no one added more.
Three days later, Shen Lang gave out the first month's pay.
Each person was 30 silver coins.
For this group of blank zero bloodline people, this was a huge sum of money.
Even for ordinary people, it was a huge sum of money.
But this amount of pay could not be given out.
Everyone refused to accept it.
Shen Lang forcibly gave out this amount of pay.
But the next day, when they woke up.
They found that there was a small mountain in the courtyard, a small mountain of silver coins.
These more than 2,000 people all returned the money that was given to them.
Wu Lie was a person with a heart of stone.
After seeing this scene, she could not help but cry.
Many female warriors also cried.
They did not expect that there would be such a simple person in this world, such an obedient person, simply like the most obedient and obedient child.
Bitter Joy was an incomparably harsh person.
Every day, the ten Lan brothers would be beaten half to death by him, scolded until they doubted their lives.
Bitter Joy's rule of training soldiers was to beat them to death.
But he found Shen Lang and said that he had never seen such an obedient soldier.
There was no need for discipline at all.
There was no need for discipline.
After these more than 2,000 people gathered together, they were still like one person.
No matter what order it was, they would all obey.
They didn't even need orders, they would do their best.
Dressing, washing, folding blankets, etc.
As long as they set an example, they would immediately follow suit.
Even though there were more than 2,000 people together, they did not gossip and remained silent.
But the atmosphere was very harmonious.
These people were very sensitive, but they also treasured emotions.
Although they did not talk to each other, they were filled with kindness.
Very quickly, they silently cared for each other and helped each other.
Because they were the most simple group of people, they could rely on each other even with dogs, let alone people of the same kind.
As the highest commander, Bitter Joy was not as strict and harsh as before. His gaze became gentle, and his attitude became kind and patient.
Within the first 10 days.
They did not modify their bloodline. They practiced lining up, distinguishing left and right, and standing in formation.
Shen Lang, of course, knew how difficult it was for an army starting from scratch to stand in formation, walk together, turn left, turn right, turn back.
It was not difficult for one person to do it, but it was extremely difficult for 2,000 people to do it at the same time.
Moreover, these people had never received any education.
However, the results shocked Shen Lang and Bitter Joy.
This group of people learned too quickly.
It was simply godly speed.
In just three days, they had learned all the formations.
Whether it was marching forward, turning left, turning right, or passing back, they were all neat and tidy.
Moreover, during training, everyone was extremely focused and serious.
No matter how small the matter was, everyone seemed to be putting in 120% of their energy.
Bitter Joy was full of praises.
"Young Master, I have never seen such good soldiers, so serious, so focused."
"Everyone's discipline and obedience are simply unparalleled."
"Too outstanding, too outstanding. It's simply unbelievable."
"Young Master, as long as we give them strength, they will definitely become the best soldiers in the world. This is a true invincible elite."
"What is the most important thing for an army? Bravery, focus, discipline, unity, and finally strength. And we, the soldiers, have reached the pinnacle of these qualities. "
Shen Lang knew that this group of people had good intelligence, but many of them could not be said to be very smart.
The reason why they learned so quickly was because they were too focused and serious.
They had been despised by their parents and even abandoned since they were young.
Therefore, no matter what, they would do their best, hoping to gain a little bit of affection from their families.
But they looked too abnormal, and they could not even have a normal conversation. And their bodies were too weak, unable to work at all.
"Young Master, they are a gift from the heavens."
"If the transformation of their bloodline is successful, I believe that within a few months, they will become the most outstanding and powerful army."
"As long as their bloodline transformation is successful, even if it does not require too much strength, as long as they surpass ordinary people by 50%, they will be able to defeat the 5,000 elites of Chu."
… …..
Shen Lang spent 15 days to find all of these 2,300 people.
It took another ten days for their bodies to recover a little and for them to learn how to line up in a formation.
Then, he found 200 large carriages to transport these 2,000 people out of the capital, towards the North Garden Hunting Ground!
These carriages were all open, so when these 2,000 people with zero bloodline left the capital, they were once again surrounded by a crowd.
At least 100,000 people came to watch the show.
With Shen Lang around, there would be a good show.
When these people with zero bloodline faced the crowd, their hearts were filled with inferiority and unease, all of them wanted to curl up together.
They looked down, not daring to look at the crowd, and their faces were filled with fear.
"Hahaha, this is the army that Shen Lang recruited!"
"I know one of them, it's the idiot next door."
"Yes, yes, I know the one over there too, he is also a famous idiot, hugging a dog and talking, or looking up at the sky, his brain is completely broken."
"Heavens? Shen Lang caught all the idiots in the capital in one fell swoop. "
"It really is a super brainless army, an army of idiots."
"Nonsense, if they are not idiots, who would join the army of Shen Lang and Ning Zheng? They are obviously cannon fodder! Which normal person would want to die? "
"The parents of these idiots are so cruel, sending their sons to die for money, I heard that it is a lot of money."
"One hundred and eighty silver coins per person."
"What? So much? How can these idiots be worth one hundred and eighty silver coins? Even if they are killed and sold, they are not worth two silver coins. The parents of these idiots are really rich. "
"Nonsense, haven't you noticed that there are a lot of happy weddings recently? They are all money after selling their idiot sons, so they can use it to find wives for their other sons. "
"Shen Lang is really a sinner."
"Do these idiots know that they are going to die in a hundred days?"
"They are idiots, how can they know?"
These words were all heard by the people with zero bloodline.
However, they were not afraid, nor did they care about it.
If Shen wanted them to die, then so be it.
On the contrary, in the past few days, they finally felt what it was like to be human, and it was enough.
Amidst the ridicule, Shen Lang left the capital with more than two thousand people.
"Your Highness Ning Zheng, I really pity you. Even if you succeed in seizing the throne and ascend to the throne, you will still have to face a bunch of idiots every day." Shen Lang pointed at the tens of thousands of commoners who were watching the show.
Ning Zheng said, "Don't laugh at them, they are also pitiful people."
Shen Lang said, "Idiots who don't know themselves are the most pitiful."
Ning Zheng shook his head helplessly, of course he would not argue with Shen Lang.
To a certain extent, Shen Lang was right, but Ning Zheng would not be as arrogant as him.
… …
After entering the North Garden Hunting Ground, Shen Lang began to modify the bloodlines of these two thousand people.
He had already done many experiments, and the people with zero bloodlines were the only ones who could accept the successful bloodline modification.
The lowest level of Golden Bloodline energy could be used in their bodies.
What kind of combat power would these people have after their bloodlines were modified?
What kind of transformation would happen?
Shen Lang was also looking forward to it!
But such a large-scale bloodline modification had to be carried out in a remote and secretive place, and no information could be leaked.
The North Garden Hunting Ground had been abandoned for a long time, and there were only a few hundred old soldiers guarding it, waiting for Shen Lang to take over.
But!
When Shen Lang led the army into the North Garden Hunting Ground, he was stopped.
An army had entered the North Garden Hunting Ground a few hours earlier, forcibly chasing away the old soldiers guarding it, and forcibly occupying the entire hunting ground.
They intercepted Shen Lang.
Ku Tou Huan stepped forward to negotiate.
"I am Marquis Changping's Qianhu Ku Yichen, under the orders of His Majesty, I have led the new army into the North Garden Hunting Ground for training. Please step aside and leave!"
There were three hundred cavalrymen blocking the entrance to the North Garden Hunting Ground.
Each of them was an elite.
Their leader was the adopted daughter of the Zhong family, Zhong Miao.
"When did His Majesty give you the North Garden Hunting Ground? Why don't I know about it? " Zhong Miao laughed coldly. "I only know that the two thousand elites of the Zhong family have already entered, so this North Garden Hunting Ground belongs to us. It doesn't matter who comes, get out of my way immediately!"
Then, Zhong Miao ordered loudly, "This is a restricted military area, no one is allowed to approach. Anyone who violates will be killed without question!"
"Kill without question!"
The three hundred cavalrymen of the Zhong family shouted in unison.
Then, the three hundred cavalrymen pulled out their sabers in unison, their killing intent soaring.
"Shen Lang, our Young Miss is inside the hunting ground, get out of here immediately," Zhong Miao said. "Aren't you a pretty boy? Aren't you a jester? Why don't you go ask His Majesty to give you justice? "
At this moment, Zhong Shishi appeared.
Behind her were two thousand elites of the Zhong family.
It had been more than a month since she had been disfigured by Shen Lang, and her beautiful face had actually recovered.
Her broken nose had actually been straightened.
Her jade-like nose was still tall and straight, exquisite beyond compare.
She had already changed into a set of armor, which was still as red as fire.
Her figure was still devilish, as if every inch of her body could ignite a man's soul.
This woman was domineering, arrogant, and annoying, but she was really beautiful, a top-notch beauty.
Her gaze toward Shen Lang was filled with bone-deep hatred.
"Shen Lang, I have been waiting for you for a long time," Zhong Shishi said coldly. "Why are you so late?"
Then, her beautiful eyes turned cold, and she said, "I will give you a choice now. You can either scram with your tail between your legs, or you can be killed by my army!
"Zhong family, listen up. As long as Shen Lang's men dare to take one step across the white line, we will immediately start fighting and kill without question!"
"Yes!" Zhong Shishi's two thousand elites shouted in unison.
She had been waiting here for a long time, waiting to deal a fatal blow to Shen Lang.
Shen Lang glanced at the two thousand soldiers of the Zhong family, and they had already set up a defensive line.
However, Shen Lang only had a little over three hundred soldiers.
The remaining two thousand or so people with zero bloodlines were still extremely weak and powerless.
However, every one of them was extremely precious. Once their bloodlines were modified, each of them would become the most outstanding warriors.
They were the seeds of his invincible army, and he could not afford to lose any of them!
Zhong Shishi said coldly, "Shen Lang, I will count down from five. You can either scram or come forward to die!"
"Five, four, three, two …"
At that moment, Shen Lang laughed out loud. "Zhong Shishi, you have fallen into my trap. I will also count down from five. Leave now, or I will not only kill your army, but I will also kill you first! "
Then, Shen Lang also started counting down.
"Five, four, three, two, one!"
… …
