Chapter 28 Arrogance
Guan Jiu was picked up by Fu Jiao at an auction.
On the war wasteland planet 7,000 years ago, cubs were the most useless things. They
were also the most valuable things.
Guan Jiu, a sea subspecies with excellent appearance and indistinguishable gender, was the best of the best and was to be the star of the auction.
At that time, Fu Jiao had already secretly pushed most of the tribes in the eastern region of the wasteland planet to join the alliance, and Wu Fuyi, the future patriarch of the Snow Deer Clan, naturally took over and established contact with Lynx in the western region, silently and forcibly suppressing the peace of half of the planet.
Deng Baoying, who was chased and hunted by the tribe, also held an important position in the alliance at that time - to be precise, he served as a deterrent.
After the lion-griffon personally went to the beast arena and brutally bit several high-level subspecies to death, no one in the entire East and West Alliance dared to deny Deng Baoying's bloodline and origin.
It was also because of this that he was able to receive an invitation to this underground auction.
And brought Fu Jiao as a female companion.
The organizers of the auction were very respectful to Deng Baoying, and even took him to the basement of the venue in advance to invite him to visit those rare treasures. The organizers of the auction patted their chests and guaranteed that as long as it was what Lord Deng liked, he could take it back directly, and the venue would definitely give the most favorable price.
It was in that dark and damp basement that had never seen the sun that Fu Jiao saw the beast-like sea creature cub locked in the iron cage.
The moment he met the golden eyes, the pupils that were so bright that they seemed to bleed suddenly lit up like a last ray of light.
The iron cage made a clattering sound, and the skinny cub suddenly rushed over and grabbed the railing, and then made the most important decision in his life.
——"Please, please take me away!"
The hoarse voice seemed to be filled with despair soaked in blood and tears. He staggered and grabbed the cold metal, looking at the Supreme God outside the cage with a slightly surprised look in his eyes, as if begging.
"I, I'm very obedient... I'm also very good at serving people!! If you have any other requirements, I can learn! I can do anything..."
"Please, take me away, please... I'll do anything."
Fu Jiao: "...Ah."
At that time, racial discrimination was still very serious. As one of the weaker subspecies, the sea people have always had little ability to protect themselves. For this reason, they would regularly offer cubs suitable for male and female pets to the powerful races on land in order to seek peace in a corner.
Obviously, this red-haired cub, even if evaluated by the Supreme God, is still considered the best.
Before she could say anything, the organizer next to her had already come up with a smile on his face, rubbing his hands.
"Yes, this is the top item of our auction."
"It is a rare subspecies of the sea creatures in a century, and it is hermaphroditic! Look at its appearance. With this appearance, if you take it home to be a male pet or a slave, it will bring honor to the master..."
The organizers chattered beside him. At that time, Deng Baoying, who was still in the semi-mature stage, narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the thin boy in the iron cage, but his face became darker and darker.
He could see that this gifted poisonous jellyfish, which was trained as a male pet, was doing its best to seduce his master.
No matter how docile it is, the jellyfish is poisonous and cannot get rid of the dark black skin inside.
Just like those eyes, no matter how weeping and pretending to be misty, they can't hide the light of ambition inside.
His divine master would not use such ridiculous methods...
Fu Jiao knelt down in front of the rusty iron cage, lowered his bright golden eyes, and looked thoughtfully at the slightly dirty face that was almost desperate and full of hope.
Deng Baoying: "...?"
Deng Baoying: "...God..."
The child was so frightened that he almost could speak.
"Oh," Fu Jiao smiled with curved eyebrows, stretched out his hand to grasp the cool palm of the jellyfish cub, shook it up and down like comforting a pet, "It seems that we are very compatible... You may become a super powerful person in the future."
...
God is a very strange person.
Guan Jiu wrote so in his diary.
She can watch those who deserve the punishment being thrown into the arena and turned into food on the plate of the crazy griffon when it loses control, and just frown slightly to worry whether he will accumulate food. She can
also squat down and use nine thousand gold coins to take him out of the dark and damp basement, squat down and ask him what his name is.
No name? It doesn't matter.
Well... since it was bought with nine thousand yuan, then let's call him Guan Jiu?
Not very nice? Oh no... It's okay! You can choose any name you like later!
Anyway, our little jellyfish will be very successful in the future.
[Look.]
[God is a very strange person.]
[But what's even stranger is that everything seems to be fatefully going according to what she said.]
[Including her leaving.]

The day after the banquet, at the urging of Wu Fuyi, going to the research institute for inspection and visit was put on the daily routine.
At the same time, the starship returning from the southern test area also arrived safely at the port of the capital star.
"So, you really have something planned for me, Xiaolu."
When Fu Jiao was applying for the institute pass for her, he rested his chin on the wall and watched Wu Fuyi confirm her fingerprint information. He slightly bent his eyebrows and smiled, "If you have any questions, just ask me directly. Why do you have to go through this?"
There was no accusation in the words of the Supreme God. Wu Fuyi's hand that was about to touch the screen paused slightly, as if the little bit of secret in his heart was seen through, and he was a little slow.
However, Wu Fuyi is Wu Fuyi after all, not Deng Baoying or Guan Jiu.
He also smiled, nodded frankly, and said softly: "You also know that I have never been a normal person since I was a child."
"The god who can break all the rules is right in front of me, and I have the time and opportunity to understand the nature of the god through various scientific research instruments... This is too crazy and tempting for any scientific researcher." "
If I can use this as a material to create more equipment cabins and mechas... No, if I can dilute the power of the Supreme God to save more terminally ill patients and overcome more problems that humans cannot overcome..." "
Just thinking about it feels like... like a miracle."
Speaking of the field he is most passionate about, Wu Fuyi pursed his lips and smiled implicitly, but there was an indescribable, almost fanatical light in his eyes.
Like a scientific madman who created brilliance with his own hands, even when facing God, he still madly and stubbornly used this as a stepping stone to push irresistible reason and laws to the starry sky.
Just like the oath he wrote in person at the institute, which every intern must memorize when they start work.
——【I will become one of the sparks of mankind and push civilization to a higher and farther place.】
【To this end, I will use any means and at any cost.
Fu Jiao's right eyelid twitched twice again. She couldn't help but rubbed it with her hand. Wu Fuyi raised her head and adjusted her glasses, concerned: "What's wrong? Didn't you get a good rest last night?" " That
's not the case. My right eyelid has been twitching a lot recently." The Supreme God retracted his hand after recording the palm print information and put it on his chin, seeming a little depressed. "Don't you humans say that... the left eye twitching means wealth and the right eye twitching means disaster? Nothing will happen, right?"
Wu Fuyi couldn't help but look at her again: "...this saying has no scientific basis. It can only be regarded as feudal superstition. There is no need to worry about it..."
"But am I not the biggest remnant of feudalism?" The Supreme God said worriedly.
"......"
"......That's true."
"And - I don't mean to blame you - the Federation seems to be too confident in its own capabilities," Fu Jiao lowered his eyes, and his brilliant pupils, which were filled with fragmented gorgeous light pieces and mixed vortex-like patterns, narrowed, as if they had the majesty of a god in an instant, "Or, too arrogant. Arrogance and ambition are one of the driving forces of human progress, which is understandable, but this kind of arrogance may bring... other, inevitable misfortunes."
Wu Fuyi frowned, and his heart seemed to jump for no reason. Just when he wanted to say something else, the intelligent computer at hand had already rang a communication message.
It was a message from the research institute. The team that went to the southern test area had returned safely, and his student Ryans also returned to the research institute, preparing to undergo a new round of physical examinations and disinfection.
"......Forget it, don't pay attention to these nonsense, I'm just talking nonsense."
The majesty of the god faded away in an instant. As if it was an illusion, Fu Jiao yawned and stood up, motioning him to handle official business: "I heard from Baoying that you are quite busy recently... I will go to the research institute with him tomorrow, no need to send a special car or person to pick him up. Oh, come to think of it, Baoying is going to the research institute tomorrow too."
"Then see you tomorrow, Xiaolu."
"See you tomorrow."
Wu Fuyi nodded slightly, revealing a soothing smile, and then stood up and tidied up the documents and electronic devices on the desk in the office.
The documents were neatly stacked, and the intelligent computer rang the message again.
The director of the research institute lowered his head when he heard the voice, but saw that the sender this time was not a staff member, but one of his students.
During the time when Ryans left the capital planet, this student had been handling the experimental projects left behind by Ryans.
Due to his awe and unfamiliarity with the dean, he rarely contacted Wu Fuyi directly. It is estimated that he hesitated for a long time before making up his mind to send the message this time.
——【Teacher, I'm sorry to bother you.】
【But... there is one thing I have thought about for a long time and still want to tell you.】
【The day before the project team of the South Territory Test Area returned, I received a message from Ryans.】
【Different from his description after returning, in the message... he asked us...】
【Don't go to the South Territory Test Area. 】
"......"
Wu Fuyi raised his head and saw Fu Jiao rubbing his right eyelid, muttering and walking out of the office door without looking back.
"......It's really strange, why do I always feel that something bad is going to happen."
