Chapter 84 Champion Hou
"Mother, this is Qin Mo."
Li Yuan pointed at Qin Mo, and introduced his identity to Mrs. Guogong.
"I met Madam, good evening Madam." Qin Mo greeted.
Hearing this, Mrs. Guo nodded slowly, and said with a smile: "There is no need to look out of the way, treat this as your own home, you can do whatever you want, come in and sit first."
After finishing speaking, she and Qin Mo walked into the inner hall together and sat on the sofa.
As soon as he entered the door, Qin Mo secretly looked at the layout of the castle. Although there is not much furniture here, every pile and piece reveals luxury and status.
Whether it is carpets, sofas, fireplaces, or high lamps, the materials and materials of these need to spend a lot of money and are very expensive.
Not to mention, there are many things that you cannot buy with money.
From these inconspicuous details, it is enough to see what is called a thousand-year-old family and what is called... the upper class.
The gap between classes has always been greater than the gap between ordinary people and awakened people.
What Li Changfeng and the others dream of is to step into the circle of the upper class, but they have never been able to enter.
Now that Qin Mo has stepped into the Qingyang Li family's manor and castle in the imperial capital, it is equivalent to half of his foot has already stepped into this circle.
"You should be that little friend. I heard from the master that he often mentions you, always saying that you have a similar temperament to him, and they are very close." The lady sitting on the sofa suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Li Yuan on the side couldn't help but glance at him, his eyes were strange.
She didn't know that Qin Mo was actually that little friend. When she went home last time, she didn't see Li Mou, so she went to meet Qin Mo.
No wonder…
Li Yuan nodded secretly in her heart. She wondered what the two of them were arguing with in the afternoon. It turned out that they had known each other for a long time and had a good relationship.
"Brother Li and I...well, we really hit it off with Duke Li." Qin Mo habitually called Brother Li, and he said it smoothly.
Seeing his generous admission, the smile on Mrs. Li's face became more intense. She raised her arm to pick up the teapot on the coffee table, and slowly poured a pot of tea into the cup.
At the same time, she said casually: "It's a good thing to find friends, but some bad habits can't be learned. You haven't been to a place like a club, have you?"
Clubhouse?
Qin Mo froze, his heart skipped a beat, and he said to himself, "It's broken!"
The news of Li Mou going to the health care center has been spread all over the city a few days ago, and of course the Duke’s wife also knows it clearly.
Speaking carefully, this is the big health care he took Li Mou to. Although his current strength is not low, he was questioned by his wife in public...
Here, no matter how powerful you are, you will still be afraid.
Qin Mo twitched the corners of his mouth and squeezed out a stiff smile. He was about to speak.
Unexpectedly, Li Yuan on the side frowned first and said: "Mother, Qin Mo is not that kind of person. I have been with him for more than a year, and I still know him a little bit."
The same thing was said when Li Mou went to the clubhouse.
As always, as determined, as always, swear.
"Exactly."
Qin Mo nodded, and said righteously: "I never go to the clubhouse."
"That's good. At this age, I already have a strong strength comparable to S-class. The future can be said to be boundless. I didn't expect to have such a heart. It is really commendable."
Mrs. Guo took a sip of tea, said with a smile on her face, "I see, you are the number one among the younger generation in Daqin."
"Ma'am is overrated."
Qin Mo replied with a smile, the atmosphere in the venue was extremely harmonious.
Mrs. Guogong has no pretensions. She is very approachable and has a wide range of knowledge. Chatting with her is like a spring breeze.
The three of them chatted for a while, then they heard footsteps outside the door.
Qin Mo looked up, and saw Li Mou walking in full of energy, his injuries seemed to have completely healed, and Li Mo quietly followed behind him.
"What are you talking about?" Li Mou asked.
Hearing this, Mrs. Guo turned her head to look, then smiled and said: "It's nothing to talk about, just chatting with Qin Mo."
"Hmph, you have to be more cautious when chatting with this kid, he can't utter a few words of truth."
"I think Qin Mo is a good kid, with an honest personality, unlike you." The lady got up and retorted.
Hearing this, Li Mou felt resentful for a while, and didn't continue to fight back, but just gave Qin Mo a quiet look.
"Let's eat first." He said.
After finishing speaking, several people followed each other and walked towards the dining table.
Li Mouzi sat in the main seat without hesitation, Qin Mo sat beside him, and Li Yuan was next to him on the other side.
Besides their family of four, Qin Mo was the only outsider at the dinner table. The old housekeeper was accompanying him and did not attend the table.
According to the past, this meeting should be served by Li Tongshan, but who would have thought that this guy is actually a ghost, so this meeting can only trouble the old housekeeper.
This is Li Mou's private banquet, not a formal invitation.
That's why everyone is very casual. While eating, they chatted about their parents' gossip, and sometimes laughed and laughed, showing a happy and peaceful appearance.
No one talked about work matters, this is the content after the banquet.
Qin Mo did not show any timidity on such an occasion, and his performance was elegant and moderate, which was deeply liked by the Duke and his wife.
This is the self-confidence brought to him by his strength. With strength, he has confidence, and he will not panic wherever he goes.
The night banquet lasted for nearly an hour. After it was over, Li Mo went to deal with the follow-up of today's action. Madam took Li Yuan upstairs to the boudoir to say something private.
As for Qin Mo, he followed Li Mou, and the two followed each other into the study.
The old housekeeper shunned the nearby maids with great insight, and then quietly walked away.
He knew that the secret talk was about to begin.
The night banquet has never been the point, it’s just incidental. The real key is after the night banquet...
At this time, in the study.
Qin Mo and Li Mou sat facing each other, with a chessboard in front of them, and chess pieces in their hands.
Pata.
There was a crisp sound of falling stones, Li Mou dropped a sunspot in the corner, and at the same time he said slowly:
"Today, you really surprised me. I thought it would take you three years before you could be promoted to S rank. I never thought that your strength would surpass me in just a few days."
Hearing this, Qin Mo frowned, and while dropping a white stone, he asked, "Did you know that I am an awakened person before today?"
"Um."
Li Mou hummed lightly, then raised his head to look at Qin Mo.
A trace of faint dragon prestige suddenly diffused in the study, and his pupils had unknowingly changed, turning into vertical pupils, shining with a ray of golden light.
"Under the eyes of the dragon, everything has nowhere to hide."
Afterwards, he roughly told him when he discovered Qin Mo, and how he saw him take action many times later.
After listening, Qin Mo nodded slowly, frowned and said, "S-level awakened ones are so powerful, I didn't realize it."
"Everyone who can advance to an S-level awakened person, they can be said to have a very comprehensive control over the power of their genes, and their methods are endless.
Although you have great strength now, when facing other S-ranks, you must not take it lightly or underestimate it.
Note, a lion fights a rabbit with all his strength. "Li Mou said in a deep voice, this is his warning to Qin Mo.
Qin Mo nodded to show his understanding, and then he asked: "This afternoon, the S-level member of the Tiandihui suddenly disappeared before my eyes. Is that some kind of means he possesses?"
He was very puzzled about this matter.
Li Mou shook his head, and said slowly: "No, that is the effect of the relic of the Holy Spirit, and has nothing to do with him."
Holy Spirit relic? !
Qin Mo became more and more puzzled, and he asked puzzledly: "Even if it is the relic of the holy spirit precipitated by an S-level awakened person, it shouldn't have such a powerful effect, right?
How could the dead be better than the living? "
It can be seen from the relics of the holy spirit precipitated by A-level awakeners that the relics themselves are not as powerful as before.
Under the drawer at Qin Mo's house, there are still several pieces left there to eat ashes, which are of no use on weekdays.
"You're right."
Li Mou first agreed, and then continued: "If they are at the same level, then most of the holy spirit relics and elemental crystals are not comparable to the serious awakened ones.
However... there is a gap between the same ranks. "
He put away Longwei, his pupils returned to normal, and then said: "You should know that the higher the rank, the greater the gap between ranks, and the more uneven the strength will be."
It is also A-level, and the Suzaku transformed into Tiandihui No. 2 is much more powerful than Li Yi's Goshawk. The former is basically fighting against the latter.
As for the gap between grades, the distance between A-level and S-level has been described by the distance between heaven and earth, so it is clear at a glance.
"You mean to say that the holy spirit relic was separated after the death of the best S-level awakened?" Qin Mo asked with a frown.
Li Mou smiled slightly, and said slowly: "To be precise, it is an S-rank ninth-level mimic system awakener. If I read correctly, it should be a lovebird."
"Ninth order?"
Qin Mo was surprised: "How is this divided? Is there a higher level above S level?"
"Of course, the power of genes is endless. Since the gene explosion thousands of years ago, human beings have never stopped exploring genes, and they have never explored to the end."
Li Mou pointed to the chessboard between the two of them, and said softly: "Just like Go, it is just black and white twins, but it can generate infinite changes.
Mimicry, awakening, spiritual, different simulations and different elements, will have different powers, you can understand it as...
Genetic diversity. "
Qin Mo remembered one by one in his heart, these were things he had never touched before, and they involved the secret of power itself, which only a handful of people in this world knew.
Without waiting for Qin Mo to speak, Li Mou continued to popularize to him: "When a person has fully developed the superficial power of genes, then he is a top A-level awakener, and then he needs to touch deeper things.
This process is extremely difficult, and most people will never be able to touch it in their lifetime, as if there is a moat in front of them.
But once you cross this threshold, you will come to a wider world, break through the natural moat, and ascend from the ground to the sky. Only in this way can you achieve S-level.
This can be said to be a certain leap in the level of life, a qualitative change, and the power of control is far from the same as before.
After the S-level, there is the Heavenly King-level, which requires crossing a huge and incomparable gap.
And in the middle, because the level of strength has been raised too high, nine levels are divided, the first level is the lowest, and the ninth level is the highest. "
Listening to Li Mou's detailed explanation from shallow to deep, Qin Mo's eyes flickered, thoughtful.
He had guessed earlier that the S rank was not the pinnacle of gene power, and now it seems that it is indeed the case.
After all, things that can be known to ordinary people are definitely not the most authentic appearance, especially when awakened people are involved.
"Tianwang class..." Qin Mo murmured softly.
Li Mou looked at him with a wider smile on his face.
"The origin of the name Tianwang, if traced back to the source, is still thousands of years ago."
Li Mou showed nostalgia on his face, and recalled: "In the dark age when the kingdoms were in chaos, Daqin continued to fight in all directions and rose rapidly. Among them, five people were the strongest and the most brave and good at fighting. They made great contributions to Daqin.
After the dark age ended, Qin and Qi began a millennium-long confrontation. Those five people were also named five heavenly kings by His Majesty Taizu, enjoying supreme glory and wealth for generations. "
"The five heavenly kings, could they be..." Qin Mo asked tentatively.
Li Mou knew what he meant, nodded with a smile, and admitted: "That's right, it's the five thousand-year-old family you see now."
hiss...
Qin Mo's eyes widened. This is an absolute secret. He really didn't know that the five thousand-year-old families had such roots.
However, if you think about it carefully, if you don’t have such a history, how can you stand up for a thousand years and still be strong today?
"Your current strength, I guess, should have reached the second level of S-level. With your amazing talent, it may be possible to be promoted to the Heavenly King level in the future."
Li Mou said that he is quite optimistic about Qin Mo's potential.
The 23-year-old S-class is enough to overwhelm a lifetime, no matter how wide the gap between the king-class is, Qin Mo can still try to make a leap.
However, what he didn't know was that Qin Mo didn't have any rank at all.
He is not an S-rank awakener in the true sense, so where did the natural gap come from?
The so-called threshold does not exist for Qin Mo.
He has a Superman Gene Awakening Panel, and he only needs to continuously absorb solar energy and accumulate light energy points to grow rapidly.
Based on Qin Mo's current speed, after a year or two, all his attributes will break through the thousand.
At that time, it will not be difficult to blow up a planet with one punch.
What about the Heavenly King class?
Superman in full form, never afraid of anyone.
Pressing the thoughts in his heart for the time being, Qin Mo turned his mind and asked curiously: "Is there still a heavenly king class?"
"Of course, the five great families all have ancestors at the level of heavenly kings." Li Mou said casually.
Afterwards, he looked at Qin Mo and asked with a smile: "You don't think that these awakened people in the imperial capital are all the power of the Qingyang Li family?"
"Young man, a thousand-year-old family is not as simple as you think, the real heritage is still in the territory passed down by each family.
For example, the Li family in Qingyang is Qingyang County, where the Presbyterian Church and some of the backbone forces are there, and some troops are stationed on the border to guard against Qi.
On the side of the imperial capital, it is only a very small part, and it is the same for all five great families. "
Li Mou said a lot to Qin Mo, and it was very in-depth, which further showed how much he valued Qin Mo, otherwise he would not be so heart-to-heart.
Even if the two of them are close friends, when it comes to the family, they must be cautious in what they say and do.
Just like before, when the two of them didn't know each other's identities, they both concealed something.
Today is different.
"Members of the Presbyterian Church, I guess they have the S-level background of a thousand-year-old family." Qin Mo thought to himself, and he didn't continue to ask.
He is not from the Li family of Qingyang, some deep secrets, it is not appropriate to ask more.
There is a limit to advancing and retreating, just is the way of life.
The two of them chatted while playing chess.
Of course, most of the time, Qin Mo is asking questions and Li Mou is answering.
Not long after, their topic naturally shifted to Tiandihui.
Li Mou picked up a sunspot from the black chess piece, carefully placed it in the upper right corner, and said with a frown:
"The person who escaped from your hand this afternoon, I have asked Qingyang County to investigate quickly. The elders called me not long ago, and his identity has been found out."
After the words fell, he looked up at Qin Mo, and said in a deep voice, "This person's surname is Ximen, and his single name is a tiger. He is from Qi."
Hearing this, Qin Mo frowned suddenly, and said in surprise: "Qi people? Could it be that heaven and earth are secretly supported by Qi State?"
He showed doubts on his face, and he was very puzzled by this.
If an S-level awakened person can cross the border between the two countries so easily, then the border guards on the Daqin side would commit suicide collectively.
Moreover, this person came silently. Li Mou didn’t receive any news from his side. It’s even more suspicious that the border didn’t notice it.
Li Mou obviously thought of this too, he shook his head and replied: "I don't think it's that simple, but my intuition tells me that there are shadows of other aristocratic families behind this.
It's just that it's not clear which one it is and what their ultimate purpose is, and we still need to wait for the follow-up to investigate slowly. "
"If it's a thousand-year-old family... that would make sense."
Qin Mo nodded slowly, and then said: "Anyway, most of the forces have been wiped out now, and there is some time to investigate slowly, not in a hurry."
"Well, it does."
Li Mou agreed, and then he smiled, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, your kid is indispensable for being able to wipe out the Tiandihui.
There are rewards for meritorious service. This is the rule of our Great Qin since the founding of the country. You happen to be in the Security Bureau, but you can directly accumulate military achievements and exchange them for titles. "
Although the Security Bureau has become the back garden of the Li family in Qingyang, from the outside, he still belongs to the Daqin imperial family.
With this relationship, it is a matter of course for military merits to be exchanged.
The benefits of the iron rice bowl are fully demonstrated at this moment.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the titles of Daqin were divided into six ranks. From top to bottom, they were the King of Zhenguo, Duke of the State, Marquis, Earl, Viscount and Baron.
Later, due to some unknowable reasons, the class of Zhen Guo Tian Wang was banned, leaving only the last five classes.
For example, Li Mou, he is the Duke of the state.
The heads of each of the five great families are the Dukes of the State, which is promised by His Majesty the Emperor Taizu, and can be hereditary, which represents a very high honor.
Besides this, there is no other prince.
To put it simply, the Duke is completely monopolized by the five thousand-year-old families. People who are not from these families, even if they have S-level strength and have made great contributions, it is impossible to be canonized.
Therefore, Qin Mo can at best change to a Marquis.
This is the real status. To be conferred a Marquis means to become a master, with a fief, inexhaustible wealth, and honor treatment beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Obviously, Qin Mo's other foot is about to step into the upper class.
"According to the past, as long as you are an S-level awakened person, regardless of whether you have military merits or not, you can be awarded a title, but there is also a gap between titles and titles. The Great Qin Liehou is 20th, and I want to meet your majesty tomorrow. Please entitle you for…"
At this point, Li Mou paused, his expression became solemn, and he said word by word:
"First class, champion!"
