The doctor had barely stepped out the door when he encountered the three silent people.
"Master, the head of the Minamoto family, the head of the Inuyama family."
"Hmm." Inuyama He responded first. "How is the Uesugi family head's health? She just used her Word of Power; did she receive the serum injection?"
"No, the head of the Uesugi family is in good health," the doctor said. "He doesn't need serum treatment."
"I'll go in and see her." Genjiro staggered as he ran to see Erii.
Actually, the fact that he was Uesugi Echizen's father and Erii's sister wasn't that much of a burden for him. What really weighed heavily on him was his younger brother who died three years ago...
Outsiders all thought that the death of Genjiro's younger brother, Genjiro, was an accident, but Genjiro knew that it was not unexpected at all.
He was the one who personally plunged the knife into Yuan Zhinü's body. He didn't dare look back at his brother's corpse and fled from the bottom of the well in a sorry state.
After he told his trusted patriarch, Tachibana Masamune, about the matter, Tachibana Masamune mobilized his forces to seal off the school and the well.
As it turned out, it wasn't just his younger brother, but also Erii's older brother, Uesugi Koshi's son...
He ran to Erii's hospital room as if his life depended on it.
Back at Genji Heavy Industries, Erii's makeup was still on. The doctor was busy continuing to examine her, and whether or not she removed her makeup was a very minor matter.
However, Erii is not lonely at all, because the ward will no longer be her home. As long as she contacts Lu Mingfei and he helps her stabilize her bloodline one more time, she can go out and live.
Genjiro opened the ward door and walked in, but stopped in his tracks when he saw Erii still wearing her makeup.
Erii saw her brother rush in through the door, then froze, looking puzzled. She took out a note and wrote, "Brother, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Yuan Zhisheng walked to the bedside with a complicated expression.
Erii shifted her body to the other side, making room for him to sit down.
Chapter 119 Do you, as a father, not make any mistakes at all?
"What's your specialty?"
The system asked Xia Mi and Chu Zihang about the unfortunate person they brought back.
In the woods, Old Tang looked at the man and woman who hadn't turned around for a long time, and cried out that he wanted to join them, saying that he was very capable.
The system analyzed the situation and concluded that if the other party was a capable individual, there was no harm in keeping them around; they might come in handy someday. If you don't cultivate talent in normal times, where will you find it when you need it?
After successfully acquiring the group of dangerous hybrids at the Green Mountain Love School, the "ambitious" system naturally began to expand its ambitions, wanting to subdue all the heroes in the world and bring them under its control.
The system is well aware that one person's strength is limited. (crossed out)
There were too many things to do, and the system felt that doing everything personally was troublesome; expanding the scope would definitely require a large number of people.
The project at Qingshan Charity School is a positive example of "making good use of talent".
Lu Mingfei didn't show up at all, yet Xia Mi and the other two still managed to handle things perfectly.
"Actually, I have a very impressive talent."
Looking at Lu Mingfei's face, Lao Tang groaned inwardly, wondering if this man was playing him or if he was truly unable to escape this man's clutches.
The system looked at him but didn't ask any further questions.
Whether this person is talented or not, Su Enxi has already sent over the information to determine his character. He does indeed possess some talent. It's just that Su Enxi's speed in researching people is a bit too fast... I made a phone call to ask her to investigate Ronald Tang, and she sent over the general information within an hour.
It's not very detailed, but it's enough to cover half of Ronald Don's life.
Old Tang obediently revealed his talent: "Actually, I am a genius. I didn't go to university because I didn't have the money and I wasn't interested. But I taught myself electrical work and got my certificate in a month. I feel that if I study for a while longer, I can become a level eight electrician in China."
Of course, I won't talk about the things I haven't learned yet. The only thing I know right now is vehicle repair.
I learned how to fix my pickup truck in the US and did it all myself. I've never spent a penny hiring a professional mechanic. I can fix and modify your vehicles...
He doesn't actually have any particularly impressive skills; he only claims to be capable to save his own life.
When he saw Lu Mingfei come to pick up Xia Mi and Chu Zihang, and then they abandoned the car the two had been driving in a ravine without hesitation, he knew that these people were definitely not upright individuals.
This is way too underground! They definitely need people skilled in vehicle and mechanical modifications...
"Americans like to fix their own cars because labor is expensive, right? Instead of spending money, they might as well learn how to fix them themselves," Xia Mi said, exposing Old Tang's lie.
"No, no, no, I can fix some minor problems myself, but I even fix the engine myself! Oh, right, I also know a bit about firearms, and I can make them by hand..." Old Tang racked his brains to show off his abilities.
The system pointed to the kitchen: "The kitchen electrical panel is over there. Show off your Level 8 electrician skills."
"Oh, what are you going to do?" Old Tang walked over and asked.
The system didn't know what questions to ask to demonstrate an electrician's skills, because it didn't have much prior knowledge of electrical work.
However, after opening the electrical box, Lao Tang quickly discovered some opportunities to showcase his skills; he was simply too eager to demonstrate his abilities…
"Actually, the wiring method here is unreasonable. This simple wiring method is prone to poor contact and short circuits..." After rambling on for a while, Old Tang asked, "Do you have any tools?"
"I still have screwdrivers and pliers." The system took out a simple toolbox from the room.
Old Tang turned off the power, pulled out the screw at the connection point, stripped the wire insulation, twisted a loop that could pass through the screw, then passed the screw through the coil and turned it back, using the screw to tighten the coil.
He said, "Although it's a bit more troublesome to connect the wires by wrapping them around once, it can maximize the chances of avoiding problems like poor contact..."
Theoretically, Old Tang's method was correct, but Xia Mi stepped forward and kicked him in the heel from behind, saying, "Twisting the wire to increase the contact area is fine, but you're twisting it in the same direction and turning the screw in the opposite direction? What kind of electrician are you?"
"Huh?" Old Tang was stunned for a moment, then quickly explained, "I was too nervous, too nervous."
"You can squat here for now. I'll have someone come and pick you up to take you back to your hometown later," the system said.
Old Tang asked him somewhat cautiously, "America?"
The system looked into his fearful eyes and said, "You are of Chinese descent, so your homeland is of course China. Go back to China, study hard, and let me see your value."
"Huh?" Old Tang's face fell.
"Shh!" Xia Mi made a shushing gesture to him, then pointed to the corner of the wall.
Old Tang obediently squatted down, not daring to resist at all.
After being taken down from the tree, he did consider running away, but he was stunned by the force with which Xia Mi, this cute and slender girl, pushed the car off the cliff with a casual kick.
The Toyota is indeed light, but if you don't engage the brakes, it's not heavy to push; an average adult can easily move it.
The problem is that Xia Mi turned her back and kicked the car, sending it hurtling forward at a considerable speed before it plunged off the cliff... Pushing it is one thing, but kicking it so easily that it can make it run fast is a big problem!
He knows about car repair, so he naturally knows how much force the person pushing the car needs to exert to achieve that effect.
This made him start to suspect that superpowers existed in this world...
"Boss, what's going on over there?" Xia Mi asked, comfortably lounging on the sofa.
"The situation is a bit hard to figure out, but the main thing is that Erii has been recognized." The system glanced at Old Tang, who was squatting in the corner.
Old Tang was the first person to suspect Erii's problem, but compared to Uesugi Kotsu, he was far too weak.
Xia Mi became interested upon hearing this, after all, she had personally witnessed how ruthless those makeup techniques were—it was like turning a living person into a ghost.
She asked, "Oh? Who recognized you? You look like that after putting on makeup, even your own parents wouldn't recognize you, right?"
"I don't know who that person is, but you know them too. Last time we went to eat ramen in the back alley of Tokyo University, the ramen chef, Uesugi Koshi, was the one he recognized, Erii..."
Before the system could finish speaking, Xia Mi uttered a soul-searching question: "Holy crap?"
Her face was full of surprise and uncertainty, but she didn't ask any questions and continued to interrupt the system.
The system continued, "Uesugi Koshi is a very powerful super hybrid, and his Word of Power is Black Sun."
Xia Mi exclaimed in confusion again, "Holy crap?"
Upon hearing the word "Black Sun," Chu Zihang couldn't help but glance at it. The power of such a super-powerful word was beyond even the detailed descriptions in books, far surpassing his own high-risk word "Monarch's Flame." If he possessed such a word...
Xia Mi quickly scanned Lu Mingfei before asking, "So, boss, how did you escape? You look exhausted; it's like you've been through a fierce battle."
Whether a person is tired or not can be seen directly from their appearance. A good mental state can improve this, but it cannot be completely hidden.
"I thought he was from the Snake-Headed Eight Family. I was afraid that if he fell into their hands, we would be at a disadvantage, so I fought with him," the system said.
"Did you win?" Xia Mi asked curiously.
The system gently shook its head: "No, but he doesn't seem to be a member of the Snake-Headed Eight Family. Neither Erii nor the head of the Minamoto family, Genji, knew him. In the end, Erii used the Judgment to suppress him, and then Genji intervened and restrained him, which allowed me to escape."
"I see." Xia Mi asked, "Then what do we do next?"
"Wait a while, until Erii begins to take over and exercise her power as the head of the Uesugi family, then we can appear openly in the Hebi-Hachi family."
"So, during this time, can we help a few dangerous mixed-race children at the Qingshan Charity School?" Xia Mi said, "We have to treat them in batches and keep them in suspense so that they will be more obedient to you, boss."
The system didn't say Xia Mi was ruthless; it had planned to do it this way all along... It said, "After they land in China, I'll have Sakurai Akira bring a few people over."
The first batch of test subjects could not be selected randomly; the system had to make the best use of its resources, so Sakurai Akira was responsible for selecting the people to return to Japan.
Since different batches require different timeframes, those who are not selected can only wait for the next batch. Therefore, if Sakurai Akira brings people over, he will definitely choose his good friends from school.
This might be Sakurai Akira's first batch of trusted confidants, which could increase his prestige among them.
As long as Akira Sakurai understands the system's good intentions and remains loyal, he will have a great chance to advance.
What the system and Lu Mingfei need to do then is to control Sakurai Akira.
……
Genji sat down beside Erii's sickbed, but remained silent for a long time.
Since he said he was fine, Erii didn't press him for details. Instead, she took out the game console she had left in the hospital room and started playing games on her own.
It wasn't until another doctor noticed something was wrong that he came in to ask Erii about her health.
The doctor's entrance went unnoticed by Erii. These white coats had been with her since childhood, circling around her, and she was already used to it.
But the doctor caught Genji's attention.
Facing the young master's gaze, the doctor explained, "The Uesugi family head's bloodline is indeed in a stable state overall, but in some parts of his body, the stability of the bloodline is inconsistent."
Examination results from certain parts of the body indicated that the Uesugi family head's bloodline was more stable in some areas.
The bloodline of mixed-race individuals is mainly manifested in their blood, but it does not mean that blood is the only part of their body that shows their bloodline.
Under normal circumstances, the bloodline of a hybrid is already present at birth. Even before awakening their bloodline, a little dragon with dragon blood is an extraordinary genius, giving hybrids higher intelligence and stronger physiques...
The muscles and bones that develop naturally carry the characteristics of one's lineage.
Erii's body was normal before, with the strength of a super hybrid, but now, after a thorough examination, the doctor discovered the problem.
Upon hearing this, Erii looked up at the doctor, then tilted her head and pondered for a moment, as if she understood.
