Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution-Chapter 1067: One of Us

Liu Siming is currently in a bad mood, as Wu Qing has been inquiring about Tian multiple times recently, clearly with no intentions of letting Tian go.

He had hinted several times, unintentionally or intentionally, that Tian should be no problem, and the problem was that Shi Yuqing, but Wu Qing was noncommittal, only asking him to continue monitoring Tian.

Therefore, Liu Siming is still monitoring Lin Shen. Granting Lin Shen a relatively insignificant position was also a strategic decision.

However, Liu Siming has been closely observing Lin Shen's performance, who has shown no issues at all. Moreover, he does not vie or fight, does whatever is asked, and does not meddle in unnecessary affairs. freёnovelkiss.com

To have such a useful person yet not able to employ him fully, is rather frustrating for Liu Siming, who recently has been short of manpower.

The Azure Sky Realm has suffered severe losses. To maintain its operations, Liu Siming had to contribute a substantial amount of resources himself to stabilize the situation.

Recently, Liu Siming has been thinking about how to quickly earn back the money; otherwise, the Azure Sky Realm is doomed sooner or later.

"Lord," Lin Shen entered and greeted Liu Siming.

"Ah, Tian. Come, come, try this, something I just got. It's good stuff." Liu Siming smiled and beckoned Lin Shen to sit down, produced a bottle of some unknown liquid, and poured a cup for Lin Shen.

Lin Shen did not ask what it was and directly drank a sip.

Liu Siming was even happier to see this, which meant Lin Shen trusted him very much and considered him one of his own.

Naturally, Lin Shen would not trust Liu Siming, but he possessed Evolution Theory; poisons and such were useless against him.

"Good stuff indeed, it can actually increase the Strength Attribute. Lord, what is this?" Lin Shen felt a strange energy spreading through his body, surprisingly it had increased his Strength Attribute by one point.

"This is Qingyuan Liquid, extracted from a mutated plant called Qingyuan Grass. Qingyuan Grass can only be cultivated in a star system within the Central Heaven Star Region, and the yield is not very high, so it's quite a rare item," Liu Siming explained while pouring another cup for Lin Shen.

"Such a valuable thing..." Lin Shen started to say but was interrupted by Liu Siming.

"Ah, Tian, I heard you are from the Deng Family of Central Heaven Star Region, right?" Liu Siming said.

"Yes." Lin Shen's identity was arranged by Deng Kuang, naturally registered under the Deng Family. To outsiders, he was from the Deng Family.

Liu Siming smiled upon hearing this, "I have also heard about your marriage alliance with the Shen Family. Shen Qingxue is quite a beauty, you are quite fortunate."

Lin Shen was taken aback, wanted to deny it, but Liu Siming did not give him a chance to, continuing, "This Qingyuan Grass is cultivated in a subsidiary star system of the Shen Family, and cannot be grown elsewhere. With your connection to the Shen Family, we might have opportunities for cooperation in the future."

"You know, our Azure Sky Realm suffered heavy losses this time, the research institute is almost wrecked, and it's hard to rebuild and develop new products soon. We can only rely on some old products to support the Azure Sky Realm's operations. Recently, I am thinking of setting up a production line for Shenyuan Pills, but a major ingredient inside is in short supply."

"Qingyuan Grass?" Lin Shen understood Liu Siming's implication.

"You are indeed intelligent, Tian. With your connections, just help me secure Qingyuan Grass, and I will promote you three levels," Liu Siming declared.

"Lord, actually, I really don't have much connection with the Shen Family," Lin Shen sighed.

Liu Siming seemed not to have heard Lin Shen's words, walked over to him, and patting his shoulder, said, "Tian, you are a smart man, and I won't hide it from you. I was indeed targeting you before, and Shi Yuqing was indeed dispatched by me to monitor you. Do you know why?"

"The Lord surely has his considerations," Lin Shen replied.

"That's because you are too outstanding," Liu Siming said while pulling out a photo and putting it in front of Lin Shen, "Do you recognize this person?"

"Seems like I've seen him in a competition before," Lin Shen looked carefully, seems like he was one of his opponents in a competition he participated in.

"This man is Wu Xiaoming, very famous in the execution game. It was his first time participating in the toughest Divine Being competition where he met you and was eliminated."

"Does Wu Xiaoming have a relation with you, Lord?" Lin Shen asked blankly.

Liu Siming spoke indifferently, "He has no relation to me, but Divine Official Wu is his uncle."

"It turns out Divine Official Wu is targeting me," Lin Shen suddenly realized.

"So you should understand, I was also helpless. Although both of us are nine-star divine officials, Wu Qing is currently the Acting Great Divine Official, and I have to obey his orders," Liu Siming pushed all the blame to Wu Qing, seeming to have nothing to do with it.

"You are now a Three Star Divine Official, for your age and experience, becoming a Three Star Divine Official is already quite remarkable. But have you ever thought, if Wu Qing truly takes off the acting hat and becomes the real Great Divine Official, it'll be too easy for him if he wants to deal with a Three Star Divine Official, he can send you anywhere easily," Liu Siming passionately spoke, "But if you become a Seven Star Divine Official, even if he is a Great Divine Official, it won't be so easy to move you, because to transfer a Seven Star Divine Official, it requires discussion and approval from the nine-star council, and more than half of the nine-star divine officials have to agree."

"I am currently a lower divine being..." Lin Shen knew clearly, one needs to have the rank of an upper divine being to possibly get promoted to a seven-star divine official.

"Normally, it would take a long time for you to be promoted to a seven-star divine official. But now there's this opportunity, if you can manage the production of Shenyuan Pills for the Azure Sky Realm, I will strongly recommend you to become a six-star divine official— that's the limit of what I can do. Then I will secure you a researcher title, find some people to work on a few experimental projects, you don't have to do anything, all results will be credited to you. With these foundations, it's highly likely your application to become a seven-star divine official will be approved," Liu Siming spinned an attractive prospect.

"Lord, about the Shen Family..." Lin Shen, aware that becoming a seven-star divine official would ensure much more security, but even Liu Siming couldn't secure a large amount of Qingyuan Grass, how could he possibly manage it.

Let alone he is not Deng Aduo; even if he was Deng Aduo, having married into the Shen Family, it's doubtful the Shen Family would give Liu Siming a large amount of Qingyuan Grass just for him.

"No need to rush, think it over. When you have decided, give me your answer. You are my man, now that I am protecting you, even Great Divine Official Wu can't do much to you," Liu Siming appeared very righteous.

Lin Shen understood the hidden meaning in his words; now Liu Siming could protect him, but if he couldn't help Liu Siming, then he would no longer be considered one of his own, and naturally, Liu Siming would no longer protect him.
