Chapter 11: : I still have a younger sister?

"I rely on this, is this a hidden mission plot?" A few followers gazed at the tall, blue-skinned man, thinking about the thousands of players who received this treatment. They were filled with excitement.

The sense of hard work and the resulting rewards are truly wonderful. It turns out that playing the game without buying in-game currency is truly enjoyable!

"Lord Baba, please have a seat!" A player named King of the Liver King quickly stood up and made way for his acquaintance.

"Well, that's good!" The towering blue-skinned man, even taller than the Green Titan, patted the player on the shoulder and nodded with satisfaction. "You've got impressive muscles and top-notch quality."

The player felt a bit embarrassed and couldn't quite grasp what the other person meant. However, it seemed like a compliment, so he quickly nodded and straightened his posture, hoping to gain favor with the non-player character (NPC).

On the side, an elf player named Grandma Lu was intrigued by the alien language they were speaking. She couldn't help but think, "They've included an alien language in the game, and the pronunciation is quite interesting. It doesn't sound like the extensive letter-attached language of the D-Ball Federation. It's more reminiscent of our native language in the Huaxia District. Could this game be developed by a studio in the Huaxia District?" With these thoughts in mind, Grandma Lu decided to write an analysis post. This topic would surely attract Chinese players and generate some buzz. Ha ha ha!

As Grandma Lu was brainstorming her imaginative content, the blue-skinned man looked into the distance, his sky-blue eyes emitting a faint glimmer of lightning, and he smiled. "I thought you all had gone to waste. I didn't expect to cultivate such a high-quality Green Titan. Indeed, you have the style of my labor!"

The player named Xi Ye was inwardly speechless about the man's character, but he wore a modest expression on his face. "Wandering for ten thousand years amounts to nothing. I'm truly ashamed for not returning earlier and receiving my father's teachings."

"No, no, my son, don't say that. At least you've come back with your dignity intact, haven't you?"

Xi Ye: ""

"To be honest, I'm quite surprised that you managed to return," Lord Baba said as he sat in the spot that the Green Titan had just vacated. He ordered a cup of Diamond Stars and continued, "What did you think? After all the money I invested in your ten-thousand-year education, you disappeared without a word. What if you had died? Wouldn't all the funds I invested in your ventures have gone to waste?"

Xi Ye was momentarily taken aback, then he said straightforwardly, "Didn't my father disown me when I graduated? Where else could I have bought a planet?"

"You naive son!" Lord Baba playfully tapped Xi Ye's helmet. "I've been in high positions for many years. Don't you think I've managed to secure some benefits?"

Xi Ye quickly covered his head. "Father, is it appropriate to say this in public?"

"It doesn't matter, I'm already retired," Lord Baba said dismissively.

Xi Ye: "Did Father come to pick me up on purpose?"

"Of course not!" Lord Baba looked disgusted. "You've been wandering aimlessly for ten thousand years and still owe billions in loans. Who has the time or inclination to pick you up? I hate to say it, but you've been living like a parasite. You barely found a planet, and as soon as you returned, you got conned by a woman, and now you're talking about taking a loan! How dare you!"

More than ten billion conned by that woman? Xi Ye thought to himself but didn't dare to say anything. He meekly asked, "What is Father doing then?"

"Taking your sister to an exam!"

"Sister?" Xi Ye was suddenly shocked. "Since when did I have a sister? Wasn't I the only child?"

"You're so naive," Lord Baba said with a condescending tone. "You were concentrating on your resources, so you didn't continue the family line. Meanwhile, you were gallivanting around, and your mom and I decided to have a few more kids while we were still young. Who will take care of us if you die out there?"

Xi Ye fell into silence, realizing he indeed had a younger sister, and by the tone of his father, it seemed like there might be more than one. His emotions suddenly grew complicated.

"Where is my sister preparing for the exam?" Xi Ye felt that as her brother, he should still show some concern.

"At Shen'ao Academy!"

"What!" Xi Ye was suddenly taken aback. "Does our family have Arcane Bloodline genes?"

He remembered that his family primarily cultivated genes related to the Thunder and Night Demon families, and he had never heard of them cultivating Arcane genes.

"No," Lord Baba replied lazily. "But your sister is very talented in arcane science, and I plan to spend a lot of money to buy purified Arcane genes for her. It's also a good opportunity to establish an Arcane branch within the family."

"Buying purified genes is easier said than done," Xi Ye commented.

Purified genes were considered the foundation of a family and weren't sold casually. Typically, families cultivated their genes over many generations to achieve initial scale. Genes sold on the market were often second-rate at best and had limitations, especially regarding their potential for evolution.

Only large families, whose ancestors had developed genes to a significant extent, could pass down purified genes to their outstanding descendants, improving the gene pool generation by generation. The Eldia family had existed for a long time, but even then, the high-quality genes that were passed down were limited. After all, they were a family of warriors, and not every gene could be safely transmitted. Some were lost outside.

When Xi Ye was young, his family was struggling financially, and his father even sold all their mines to afford his tuition. But he had never heard of his family selling a purified gene, as everyone knew that it was a family's true heritage.

So, the idea that his father wanted to buy high-quality Arcane bloodline genes for his sister seemed almost impossible.

"In that case, what can we do?" Xi Ye was annoyed. He had never met his sister, but they were still connected by blood. He couldn't bear to see her future ruined. Once genes were established, they became almost unchangeable. With a second-level gene, her life could evolve to at most a fifth-level life form. The average income at this level couldn't even afford a restroom in the Federal Center Galaxy after 10,000 years of work.

"What can we do? Your father and I are drowning in debt to send you to school. Do you think there's any chance of getting a purified gene for your sister from the family?"

"Are you planning to transfer your genes to her?" Xi Ye inquired.

Father squinted at Xi Ye and sneered. "Have you forgotten, or did you never know? My genes were sold to your uncle when he paid for your fourth stage tuition?"

Xi Ye suddenly remembered. His uncle, Cheng Ruo, had deceived his father into selling his genes when he was paying for Xi Ye's tuition. At that time, Xi Ye and Ren, his uncle's son, were the most talented among their generation. They both competed for the family's main genes under their grandfather's guidance.

Their grandfather was a sixteenth-level life form, almost reaching the status of a dragon-level life form. Although Xi Ye was supposed to inherit his genes, his father surprisingly listened to his uncle's advice and sent him to Tenjin Academy. His uncle, being a high-ranking officer under the command of a lord, secured a recommendation letter for him and paid 5 billion in tuition fees. His father had made a terrible decision by sending him to a school that led him to be conned.

Xi Ye ascended to the divine realm, while the Thunder Warrior genes, which rightfully should have been his, were inherited by Ren.

Xi Ye realized that his uncle had manipulated their family for his own benefit. His uncle, who was once as insignificant as an ant, had risen to the position of a commander-in-chief of a military area with a five-level life planet!

Furthermore, his father and mother's Night Demon bloodline genes were also transferred to his uncle when he was paying for Xi Ye's tuition. It seemed that their entire family had been manipulated by his uncle, which put the family in a precarious situation.
