"Supre Demon, eh..." Ahn Longling knew of the existence of Supre Demons only through intelligence reports. Ever seen one? That would be impossible.
Her younger sister, on the other hand, might have seen one, but she didn’t have many direct encounters with the Alien Phenona. On one hand, it was because she lacked adaptability; on the other hand, it was naturally because of the ti restrictions of the Alien Phenona. Ahn Qi being in charge of the Alien Phenonon hunting group was related to her adaptability.
The Ahn family had few mbers with adaptability. They had many siblings, but only Ahn Qi possessed adaptability.
"Do you have any data?"
"You want to research Supre Demons? There isn’t much data, but there are plenty of other things." Ahn Qi led Ahn Longling into a room and showed her the information Zheng Yichen had brought back. The videos had already been edited, with irrelevant parts removed.
What remained was all essential information, naturally including parts on the Supre Demon.
"So this is a Supre Demon? I thought they were almost omnipotent beings." Ahn Longling looked at the footage, which recorded parts of the refugee group. They didn’t care much about the bloody infighting among the refugees.
In the apocalyptic world, fighting each other for survival was normal. The focus was on the floating red filants and the deity statue.
"It’s just a statue, not yet fully transford." Ahn Qi said. She had already seen these processed video materials and what was currently playing was Zheng Yichen’s first confrontation with a being like the Supre Demon. So of the footage had even been cut.
The motorcycle recording this had multiple features equipped to it, provided to Zheng Yichen.
"These records can only be used for reference; they can’t really be researched into anything substantial." After watching the subsequent records, Ahn Longling said they weren’t of much use unless they could access the alien world Zheng Yichen had visited in the future, apart from just watching them like movies.
If only Zheng Yichen had brought back biological materials, then there might be so utility in these things.
"You can’t say that. There is material related to the Asura Demon in the records, but it’s not well preserved." Ahn Qi said with so helplessness. The motorcycle was equipped with many functions, but it didn’t include any for preserving biological materials.
Even if the creature was extraordinary, after being left for so long, the flesh would have rotted, so what was ultimately preserved were things like finger bones, things that were easy to carry.
"Oh? Can it be used for Genetic Modification?" Ahn Longling was interested in this. Whether it was practicing martial arts, trying to master special powers, or those human enhancent technologies that were more useful, as long as there was a technological breakthrough, the effects could be seen imdiately, and their combat force could be rapidly upgraded.
"There’s potential for that operation, but related research is still ongoing, and our research institute doesn’t have that advanced technology."
One of them was in charge of the Alien Phenonon hunting group, the other was responsible for the local combat forces. Their research quality was just as such; otherwise, they wouldn’t have had to go to their Second Brother for the hovercar matter. As for the biotechnological part related to Genetic Modification, it was managed by her Fifth Sister, who was also Ahn Longling’s younger sister.
If possible, Ahn Qi would rather have more interaction with her Second Brother and not get too involved with her Fifth Sister. Most of the ti, their Second Brother was a typical science guy, and it was actually not too stressful to get along with him because of the hovercar matter. He had even treated his sisters to a al.
While her Fifth Sister was responsible for biotechnology, and being in charge of this aspect ant her Fifth Sister had sufficient expertise in the field, just like their Second Brother, it was difficult to obtain such a position with no abilities. It wasn’t as simple as getting there with just an identity.
The Ahn family would not allow such turmoil.
Although Ahn Qi herself had adaptability to Alien Phenona, if she had not demonstrated sufficient capability, she wouldn’t have been put in charge of the Alien Phenonon hunting group. Her Fifth Sister took over by displacing the previous manager on her own rit and secured that position.
Identity granted her Fifth Sister so leverage, but the key was still personal ability.
Biotechnology, huh, it wasn’t just about cultivating chickens or farming pigs. It involved Genetic Modification and human enhancent technologies. At family gatherings, Ahn Qi felt uncomfortable when eting her Fifth Sister, who always had a cold aura about her.
It wasn’t that her psychological coping ability was weak; it was just that her Fifth Sister was like that. Not just her, other family mbers felt more or less the sa.
Yet her Fifth Sister didn’t care about this and even quite liked to network with other siblings in the family. Not long ago, her Fifth Sister had sought her out, and at that ti, Ahn Qi did not impose too many conditions but directly allowed her Fifth Sister’s people to do a ’check-up’ on the fire dragon.
They took so blood and body tissue from the fire dragon.
Interacting with her felt very unpleasant, but in terms of capability, her Fifth Sister taking those items away should be able to research sothing substantial. That would not be a loss for Ahn Qi.
If they wanted quick results from the samples Zheng Yichen brought back, they would still need to find her Fifth Sister.
"Then let’s go find her."
"Alright." Ahn Qi nodded. She didn’t want to interact too much with the other party, but for the sake of their endeavors, they still had to properly discuss things. However, they had to be much more cautious with this matter; she and her Second Sister didn’t want any new parties getting involved with Zheng Yichen’s situation.
Neither of them ntioned the issue of Zheng Yichen’s strength. The video footage Zheng Yichen provided had been selectively edited by him; only he knew whether he had actually crossed hands with a Supre Demon. The most the footage showed was him sparing with the Supre Demon’s avatars and subordinates.
Zheng Yichen had demonstrated the ability to manipulate elents, and it seed he was capable of handling various types. However, the cut scenes made it clear to both her and her sister that elent manipulation wasn’t the power Zheng Yichen valued highly. Letting others know about it didn’t matter to him.
This was quite good...
Ahn Qi truly didn’t worry that Zheng Yichen’s displayed strength was too formidable; there was no conflict of interest between them. As for Zheng Yichen finding other collaborators? Not to ntion that the Ahn family’s resources were already top-notch, how could he be sure that other collaborators could share her perspective?
Contrast creates disparity. If Zheng Yichen ever wavered, that might not necessarily be a bad thing.
Regarding the conflict over resources, truthfully, although the Ahn family had a great need for resources, their developntal focus was on improving overall quality.
They would accumulate in a special environnt like Hazy City and, once they reached a certain level and found a suitable Alien Phenonon world, the entire family would ’ascend’ there, directly becoming top players in a truly higher-world environnt.
That was an inevitable and necessary step for the future. Although Hazy City offered an excellent environnt with frequent Alien Phenonons, the ’environnt’ of this world was ultimately a bit too low-level. The Ahn family’s current ideal goal was to accumulate enough resources and then find an alien world with an environnt similar to Hazy City’s.
Even if that world didn’t have as high of an environnt as they hoped, as long as it was superior to Hazy City’s, it would be good enough. After transferring there, they could take root and continue to develop in a higher environnt, either leaping into the sky in one step or ascending step by step.
It’s just that such an environnt was extrely hard to find. If they couldn’t find a suitable high-environnt world as a substitute, and their accumulation hadn’t reached the desired level, it was better to stay in Hazy City and continue building strength.
As far as Ahn Qi knew, the Ahn family’s ideal high-environnt was around Level 6 to Level 7, and it had to have both high energy levels and high intensity levels – quantitatively reaching Level 6 or Level 7.
If they couldn’t find that imdiately, they’d settle for a world with an environnt of Level 3 to Level 5. The prerequisite was that such a world had an area akin to Hazy City’s; otherwise, it wasn’t worth migrating. Migration could easily damage their foundation, and re-establishnt would require ti for gradual developnt.
However, with the Ahn family’s current accumulation, they simply couldn’t touch the high-end forces of a Level 6 or Level 7 high-environnt world.
Ahn Qi, responsible for the Alien Phenonon hunting group, regularly conducted tests, often taking so of the Ahn family’s research findings into discovered high-environnt Alien Phenonons for testing.
If they couldn’t reach the ’upper limit’ in an alien world under Level 6 or Level 7, there was no point in directly going to a world with a high-environnt of Level 6 or above.
According to the information provided by the fire dragon, the world it was from was approximately a Level 6 high-environnt world. In its world, there were genuine deities, but unfortunately, strong beings from high-environnt worlds beca much weaker upon coming to lower-environnt worlds.
The fire dragon had been at the top of the food chain in its own world, and although it didn’t want to admit that it would be instantly defeated by a deity or even struggle against a deity’s avatar, it was indeed powerful enough below the deities, with few daring to provoke it.
Regrettably, upon arriving in the world of Hazy City, it got hamred by Zheng Yichen, which made the fire dragon sowhat doubt its own life.
If they could thoroughly research the power of deities, it ant they could easily settle in a high-environnt world. Based on the records provided by Zheng Yichen, the world he visited this ti was probably between Level 3 and Level 5, though Level 5 might be a bit of a stretch.
But considering the existence of beings like Supre Demons, it was still possible.
Therefore, from all perspectives, there really was no conflict of interest between her, her second sister, and Zheng Yichen. Furthermore, considering Zheng Yichen’s uniqueness, they couldn’t be too eager to maintain good relations, let alone engage in petty sches. With the resources at their disposal, supporting one person wasn’t difficult.
The problem was that Zheng Yichen’s trust in them wasn’t high; otherwise, he wouldn’t have deleted so many scenes from these records.
Trust is sothing that can be cultivated slowly, as long as no fools in their circle interfere in the future.
There were many in the Ahn family, and so far, neither she nor her second sister had made contact with the won around Zheng Yichen, even though they had many ways to make such contact appear very natural.
However, that might not be the case with others; the more foolish might speculate, "If we don’t control this person, what if they go to so world and never return?" they would prefer to investigate everything about Zheng Yichen, down to his underwear color or even his restroom schedule.
Not to ntion, among their siblings, uncles, and aunts, there indeed were such people who, possessing enough power and wealth, always thought they could easily grasp many things.
Ahn Qi often took to the field herself for certain tasks, like selecting reserve mbers for the hunters group. There were specialized people for such work, but she, too, had personally interacted with so individuals, which helped her see people more clearly rather than making judgnts based on a report.
She was only responsible for the Alien Phenonon hunting group and didn’t have too much else to oversee. Thus, doing so was simply a matter of sacrificing so personal ti. A bit less personal ti had negligible impact on her daily routine.
In the future? When she has more responsibilities, she’ll arrange for additional help, but for now, she has always had the extra energy to do so.
Everyone has their habits in performing tasks; that’s how Ahn Qi chose to do things. If others think it’s unnecessary, that’s their issue.
