I'm a Pastor, what the hell is an Acute Gastroenteritis Outbreak Spell?!

“Pity?”

Zheng Cheng looked at Ye Xishui, and said solemnly, “I only see the pitiful three million souls trapped inside the Blood Guanyin.”

“If one were to blame, blame them for being born into the Half-Inferior Tribe.”

“As long as they sincerely join us, they will eventually become part of Xia Country. Why is there a need for pity?”

“At the very least, I have never proposed for their entire tribe to be reduced to prostitutes!”

“You…”

“Xishui!”

Zhou Xinyu frowned and said, “This matter pertains to the great plan of Xia Country for the next hundred years. Do not speak without understanding!”

“I …”

Ye Xishui was somewhat taken aback at the serious expression on Zhou Xinyu’s face.

In the many years that she has known him since childhood, she has never seen Zhou Xinyu as serious as he is now!

“I understand.”

Zhou Xinyu nodded, “The assessment is about to end soon, the last three elders definitely have something to say.”

“When there’s a chance, come to Beijing City, I’ll treat you to a meal!”

The three left, only Zheng Cheng, Li Zhen, and Zhu Chengyu were left.

Zhu Chengyu asked, “What exactly is the status of these individuals?”

Li Zhen said, “Zhou Xinyu, comes from a pioneer family, the Zhou Family in Beijing!”

“Ye Xishui, comes from a pioneer family, the Ye Family in Beijing!”

“Zhao Wufeng, comes from a pioneer family, the Zhao Family in Beijing, which implies he is from the same lineage as Captain Yunxiao!”

“As for Dongfang Yang, he is from the pioneer family, the Dongfang Family in Binhai City.”

“The others, Shi Lei and Tong Botao, are civilian professionists who have been won over by the Dongfang Family.”

“These families have continued for hundreds of years, their relations are unusual. For instance, the Zhou Family and the Ye Family are already united by marriage.”

“Zhou Xinyu and Ye Xishui are engaged, their wedding is about to be held.”

Zheng Cheng’s eyes flashed, he said, “I had been curious before, how come Binhai City gave birth to so many of these high-star professionists?”

“Six of nine-star professionists and twenty-three of eight-star professionists!”

Li Zhen shrugged, “Well that’s simple, let me quiz you two, where did the first spatial rift occur within our territory of Xia Country?”

Zhu Chengyu immediately replied, “The first spatial rift appeared in the Arctic Tundra of the Blue Star.”

“And the first spatial rift in Xia Country appeared in the East Sea!”

“There you have it,” said Li Zhen. “That spatial rift is closest to Binhai City, so it was the most heavily affected.”

“More than three hundred years ago, nearly all of the eastern coastal regions were lost and were only slowly retaken by the pioneers.”

“Especially Binhai City, in order to reclaim it, millions of our Xia Country’s civilian bodies and professionist bodies were laid down, only then were we able to drive the sea people back into the spatial rift.”

“Not to mention the path to the Alien Battlefield within the Fallen Islands, Starry Sea, and Ink Sea, all require passing through Binhai City. Additionally, the rich marine resources, particularly the sea monsters and Alien Beasts left by the Sea Clan, have attracted countless professionists.”

“Hence, the quantity and quality of professionists in Binhai City are the highest in Xia Country.”

“I see.”

Zheng Cheng suddenly asked, “Li Zhen, tell us about these pioneer families, who are they exactly.”

Li Zhen said, “This information isn’t exactly confidential, you’d be able to find it later when you attend Professions University. But since you’ve asked, I’ll go ahead with a brief explanation.”

“The pioneer families are those that have members who have survived from the great catastrophe period to the present.”

“Moreover, these pioneers must have contributed significantly to the survival of the human race, leading humanity to reclaim cities, saving millions of beleaguered people.”

“Their strength, at minimum, is epic level! Profession star level must be seven stars or higher!”

“Families like this are referred to as pioneer families”

Zheng Cheng’s eyes flashed, as if he recalled something.

But Zhu Chengyu was surprised, “Survived from the time of the great catastrophe? That’s at least three or four hundred years!”

“Can professionists live that long?”

“Why not?”

Zhu Chengyu gave him a glance, “As long as a professionist reaches epic level, their lifespan will surge to five hundred years!”

“It is said the lifespan of a legend-level professionist is even longer!”

“Moreover, in the Alien Battlefield, there’s special food and elixirs that can extend your lifespan.”

“Some powerful alchemists can even concoct elixirs that add to your life span.”

“If you become a professionist, as long as you aren’t killed, living for two to three hundred years will be a breeze!”

Zheng asked again, “Then, how many pioneer families do we have in our country currently? Which is the strongest?”

“Approximately more than thirty,”

Li Zhen thought for a moment, “The Zhou Family, Ye Family, Zhao Family, and Zheng Family in Beijing; in Binhai City, the Dongfang Family and Lin Family; in Qinzhou, the Qin Family and Bai Family; as well as the Tang Family and He Family in Chengdu City.”

“As for the most powerful pioneer families, it belongs to Zheng Family.”

“Unfortunately, in the past century due to some accidents, a part of the Zheng Family moved abroad, establishing one of the seven emperors of the Deep Sea, the Nine Snake Island. While the main family of the Zheng Family remains seated in Beijing, otherwise the Zheng Family would indeed be the foremost pioneer family in Xia Country!”

“The Zheng Family…”

Zheng Cheng’s face held an odd expression, “It’s not related to me, is it?”

Li Zhen looked Zheng Cheng up and down, then shook his head, “Honestly speaking… you’re really not.”

“Before you joined the Night Watch, they’d already investigated your background.”

“From your parents up to the ninth generation, none of them have any connection at all to the Zheng Family, you just share the same surname.”

“Furthermore…”

Li Zhen chuckled, “All professionists’ families, due to the existence of ‘Bloodline Spirits’, their descendants awaken to the same or similar professions as the pioneers.”
