Is this what a zombie is?

120. Let's create a new account.

"We've talked about so much, all of this is about future plans. Right now, there's another person we're closely monitoring; the higher-ups are paying a lot of attention to him. Let's discuss that."

Dongfang Liang and the others naturally knew who Wang Riyue was talking about.

Ai Yi was taken away by the Four Spirits Family for several months and is now in the Foundation.

He was well-behaved and obedient, and even got along well with many people, but everyone could see that he had not actually fully integrated into the Foundation or the Four Spirits Family.

They can inherit the core legacy of the five-clawed golden dragon totem, possess a special destiny, and have extremely strong luck.

Ai Yi is the true chosen one, a protagonist template with cheat codes.

To put it bluntly, he is the foundation's future pillar, its leading figure, and the cornerstone of China's future.

"His cultivation progresses very quickly, almost by leaps and bounds. Compared to him, the chosen one of destiny, we geniuses are nothing but a joke."

Comparing yourself to others is just asking for trouble!

"His superiors are paying close attention to him and want to know where he is now."

"You want to know when he'll be able to separate the nine sons of the dragon totem, right?"

Dongfang Liang's gaze became somewhat amused, and a mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"The idea above is that if he can separate the nine totems, then the foundation can have nine totems, and then it will not need to rely entirely on the Four Spirits Family."

"Don't overthink it, the higher-ups didn't mean that."

Dongfang Liang smiled and didn't continue speaking. He had just brought up the concept of checks and balances, so how could he not understand what the higher-ups were really thinking?

However, it's better to see through things than to say them outright. He also understands that the core group of the foundation is still the people of their Four Spirits family.

The key departments of intelligence, operations, equipment, and finance are all staffed by members of the Four Spirits Family.

If it weren't for saving face for the foundation, Wang Riyue wouldn't have become the president.

He has taken the position of president, but he can't actually command the people of the Four Spirits Clan.

An imbalance of power is not a good thing, but Ai Yi showed them the beginnings of checks and balances, and it may even lead to the construction of a completely new system.

"I understand. I'll arrange it and find him a beginner's task so the higher-ups can see the results."

The foundation has three underground floors, including a dedicated training ground.

The walls and floor of this training ground are made of an unknown alloy that can absorb most of the energy impact, making it strong enough to withstand a direct hit from a missile.

For the past three months, this training ground has been open exclusively for Ai Yi.

At this moment, in the center of the training ground, golden light shone brightly, and the roar of dragons echoed.

Ai Yi was shirtless, his eyes were closed, and his breathing was steady and long. Nine blurry but majestic dragon-shaped phantoms surrounded him, each phantom exuding a completely different and powerful aura. These were the nine sons of the dragon totem, which were already taking shape.

Qiuniu, Yazi, Chaofeng, Pulao, Suanni, Bixi, Bian, Fuxi, Chiwen...

Unlike Jiang Chen, who was left to his own devices, he had to rely on self-discipline to learn and improve, which is different from his learning and comprehension abilities.

Ai Yi is receiving intensive, systematic teaching that has been passed down for thousands of years.

So-called systematic teaching refers to a complete and systematic educational model formed by predecessors absorbing a wealth of experience.

It may not be suitable for everyone, but it is indeed highly efficient, and many of the difficulties and problems you encounter on your journey have standard answers left by predecessors.

However, for someone like Ai Yi who has forged his own path, this can only serve as a reference answer, but it's enough for him to walk a smooth path that others would take at least twenty or thirty years to complete.

For the past eight months, Ai Yi has been in a high-pressure, cramming environment. He had never been this tired when he was preparing for the college entrance examination. This was truly a tough battle.

Even under such high pressure, Ai Yi was able to absorb the knowledge passed down to him by the Four Spirits Clan, which had been passed down for thousands of years, like a sponge.

His growth rate is incredibly fast, it can only be described as progressing by leaps and bounds, with new changes every few days.

"call--"

Ai Yi exhaled a long breath of stale air, the airflow of which faintly carried the sound of a dragon's roar.

He slowly opened his eyes, and a golden dragon shadow flashed briefly in them.

The training ground gates opened, and Dongfang Liang and Nangong Erya walked in.

"How are you feeling?" Dongfang Liang asked.

"It's alright, just a little hungry."

Ai grinned, transforming back into the carefree, rich kid he always was, all smiles and no worries. But Dongfang Liang knew perfectly well that this was just a facade.

"Get ready for your first official mission."

"Oh, so you're finally letting me out?" Ai Yi cracked her knuckles. "Let's make it clear who the target is. I'm not interested in the weak ones. If we're going to fight, we'll fight the strongest."

"A brat."

"Huh?" Ai Yi picked at her ear, thinking she had misheard.

Nangong Moya shared the information with Ai Yi.

"A minor Awakened individual has been discovered at the Morning Light Welfare Home in the suburbs. Your mission is to subdue him without causing fatal damage and bring him back to the Foundation."

Ai took the briefing, glanced at it, and curled her lip: "So it turns out you're going to be a nanny."

Even so, he still accepted the task, after all, he hadn't been out for a break in almost a year.

Dongfang cautioned, "Don't underestimate him, because based on the information we have, I can't be 100% certain whether he is an Awakened One."

"If so, then his ability will be very strange. If you don't understand his ability, even you will be caught off guard and suffer a setback."

"Relax, relax."

Ai waved her hand dismissively, and as she walked toward the locker room, she took out her phone and dialed a number.

After training, it's his private time.

"Hey, Dad, I need to talk to you about something. I have to go on a mission. While I'm gone, you need to take good care of yourself, eat and sleep on time, and don't stay up late."

Ai Yi spoke with great emotion, but Nangong Erya, who was listening from the side, felt that something was amiss.

You just said it was just a babysitting job, and now you're starting to leave your will and make arrangements for your passing?

No, do you have a good relationship with your father?

Of course not, so Edward on the other end of the phone didn't know how to respond.

"Just say what you need to say, or shut up. Need money?"

"No, I just wanted to suggest that you remarry your mom. While you're still young, hurry up and create a new account."

Edward's voice was full of annoyance: "You called me just to say this? Why are you so concerned about the continuation of your bloodline?"

"I'm not doing this for myself, I'm doing it for our Ai family!" Ai Yi's voice was passionate and impassioned. "After all, we really have a throne to inherit in our family now. I'm under a lot of pressure by myself. You have to find me a successor to share the burden."
