MTL - I Am Invincible After Awakening the Superman Gene-Chapter 140 What is a profession?
Chapter 140 What is a profession?
The next day.
The sky is getting bright.
Qin Mo got up on time, washed up and went straight to the Security Bureau.
He still followed the previous self-discipline biological clock, and entered the deputy director's exclusive office at exactly nine o'clock, not one minute earlier and not one second later.
Afterwards, Qin Mo officially started his daily fishing time.
He cleared the table, turned on the computer, and entered the homepage of the websites of major news media.
After browsing around, Qin Mo's mouth slowly curled up into a faint smile.
Today's Piaohong Toutiao is very different from yesterday.
The news on the border was squeezed out by almost half, and the rest was all about the Gaoling Xia Clan.
Of course, these reports are all negative, and the trend of public opinion is currently very unfavorable to the Xia family.
"It still has to be the Five Great Masters. In just one day, public opinion can be pushed to such an extent."
Qin Mo sighed with emotion and shook his head slowly.
He didn't know how much interest exchange was mixed in it, and he didn't know how many media companies behind the scenes were the five masters. These things had nothing to do with him.
Qin Mo only cares about his goal, whether he is making steady progress.
What he has to do at this stage is to completely overthrow the Gaoling Xia Clan and drive Xia Zu into a place of eternal doom.
You must know that although Operation Huangquan has come to an end, it is far from over.
But looking at the current situation, he still approves of the efficiency of the five masters.
Public opinion is constantly fermenting, and there have been many discussions among the people in various counties of the Great Qin Empire.
Just judging from the number of clicks and readings of these popular reports, as well as the number of searches of the Gaoling Xia family, it is enough to see it.
And, this is just the beginning.
The data in all aspects are still showing a rising trend, faintly surpassing the attention paid to the border.
After all, the Gaoling Xia Clan has a very popular figure. Whether it was the King of Qin who proclaimed himself the champion, or the Xia Clan’s active public opinion campaign a few days ago, they all pushed Xia Zu into the spotlight.
Not to mention, Xia Zu is still the commander of the Great Qin in this border war, and the problems he has will naturally compete to attract everyone's attention.
It’s just that the Xia clan of Gaoling probably never imagined that everything they did would become the support of the public opinion of the five great families at this time, successfully making Xia Zu stand on the cusp of the storm in just one day.
Does this count as shooting yourself in the foot with a rock?
Thinking of this, the smile on Qin Mo's face became more intense.
Afterwards, he quietly let go of his hearing, covering a radius of ten miles almost instantly.
All kinds of noisy sounds poured into Qin Mo's ears. After analysis, calculation, and processing by the super brain, the useless sounds were quickly eliminated, leaving only the voices of people.
Among these massive conversations, 80% of them are talking about various scandals about Gaoling Xia Clan.
For example, how a core disciple of the Xia Clan embezzled and accepted bribes, or a disciple with high status and great power hired several women outside, and so on.
These things are not big, but they are not small. The main impact is Xia's reputation in the eyes of the public, and gradually weakens the goodwill they have built up with great difficulty.
Public opinion needs to be like this, slowly moving forward step by step, the main thing is to subtly, moisten things silently.
This can be clearly and clearly known from the various reactions of the people.
Everyone's attitudes were surprisingly consistent at the beginning, and their minds were full of inconceivability. They never thought that these things would be done by people from the Gaoling Xia Clan.
But when they saw all the evidence published in the report, their hearts were shaken, and their attitudes gradually began to change...
"It's a pity that I used to think that the Xia family was good, and I always supported it, but who would have thought that it would be so human-faced and animal-hearted, bah! It's true that people know people and know faces but don't know their hearts."
"Aren't those aristocratic families all the same? How can there be any good things in the aristocratic family? I already knew that the Xia family would be like this, ha ha!"
…
This is a conversation between two waiters in a coffee shop seven miles away from the Security Bureau.
And conversations like this happen in many, many places.
Listening to these discussions, the smile on Qin Mo's face became more intense.
"This is the power of public opinion. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. The old saying does not deceive me."
Qin Mo shook his head slowly and said so.
…
…
at the same time.
In the royal restricted area on the other side, a court council initiated by the Zhenbei Chu family is being held.
The core leaders of the important departments of the imperial capital all came to the ancient hall at this time, sitting quietly at the middle and back end of the long table, and their eyes were all on the head.
King Qin still looked sickly, thin and thin, his face was extremely pale, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
However, his body still exudes a faint imperial aura, which is the reverence rooted in the ancient blood.
On his left and right sides, sit the contemporary patriarchs of the four thousand-year-old families.
Because Li Mou was still recovering from his injuries in Qingyang County, he was absent from this meeting today, and his chair was empty.
But the five masters have reached a high degree of agreement on their attitudes towards the Gaoling Xia family. It makes no difference whether Li is present or not.
Afterwards, after everyone saluted the King of Qin together, the court council officially began.
But for a while, no one spoke, and the empty hall instantly fell into a deathly silence, almost a needle could be heard.
The four princes each exchanged a veiled look, Chu Xiong nodded unrecognizably, and then he spoke first, breaking the silence on the long table.
Chu Xiong is the initiator of today's court meeting, and he should be the one to bring up the topic. He said slowly:
"Your Majesty, I recently discovered that the imperial capital is much more lively than before."
"Oh? What does the Duke of Chu say?" King Qin turned his gaze to him and asked with a smile.
Chu Xiong paused for a moment, and then said bluntly: "In the past two days, there have been a lot of rumors in the imperial capital, all of which are negative news about the Gaoling Xia Clan.
There are a lot of discussions among the people, and there is a tendency to intensify. As the top family of the Great Qin Empire, the Xia family should have been a role model for the people, but they never expected to have such a reputation.
If things go on like this for a long time, I am afraid it will damage the reputation of my Daqin. "
"Then, Duke Chu means..."
The smile on King Qin’s face never diminished in the slightest. It seemed that the Xia clan of Gaoling had nothing to do with him. He was like a bystander.
Hearing such a question, Chu Xiong frowned the two thick eyebrows on his forehead, and replied:
"I think that I should send a few people to the Xia family to investigate, so that I can give an explanation to the people of Daqin."
Hiss!
As soon as Chu Xiong's voice fell to the ground, everyone sitting around the long table gasped in unison, and the hall fell into a strange silence again, and the atmosphere was very delicate.
Those who can sit here are all senior officials of various important departments, with high status.
They may be a bit of a low-level Awakened, so they can't get on the stage, but when it comes to their sense of the situation, it's not an exaggeration to say that they are comparable to the kings of heaven.
5 What everyone wants to do, how can people with discerning eyes not see it?
The Chu family in Zhenbei is going to check on the Xia family when they open their mouths, which has almost clearly expressed their attitude.
The game between the top families seems to have started quietly.
This is a war without gunpowder, but the dead... I'm afraid it will be indispensable.
Everyone was so shocked that they didn't dare to interrupt and stand in line.
After a brief silence, King Qin tapped on the table with his knuckles with a smile, attracting everyone's attention.
His eyes slowly swept over each cheek, and there was a slight flicker in the depths of his eyes, which seemed to contain deep meaning.
Afterwards, King Qin said with a smile: "What about the other dukes? How do you view this matter?"
"I think that what the Duke of Chu said is reasonable." Fang Guogong replied first.
"Well, it is indeed necessary to check." This is Changping Liu's voice.
"I think so too." Far East Lin spoke slowly.
Listening to the statements of these three families, the smile on King Qin's face became more and more intense. He didn't expand on this topic, but brought up the matter of the border.
"Nowadays, the border war is still going on, the two sides are fighting in full swing, very anxious, the people of Qi have always been brave and ferocious, and the offensive is fiercer and fiercer. The champion Hou is working hard and fighting for our Great Qin.
And just at this time, it was a coincidence that there was unfavorable news about the Gaoling Xia Clan from the imperial capital...
Everyone, be careful of the schemes of others. "
When the King of Qin said this, it was obvious that he was using the people of Qi as a shield to reject Chu Xiong's proposal.
However, just as his voice fell to the ground, Chu Xiong immediately said:
"Since your Majesty said so, it is even more necessary to investigate the Xia family. It is not enough to prove the Xia family's innocence."
"The Duke's remark is inappropriate."
King Qin smiled, and said lightly: "Sending people to the Xia family to investigate, this in itself represents distrust, and it is easier to chill the hearts of my heroes in the Great Qin.
As the saying goes, what is clear will be clear, and what is turbid will be turbid, so why bother? What do you guys think? "
The hall fell into a strange silence for the third time. No one around the long table dared to speak at this time. Everyone's eyes wandered, and they lowered their heads slightly.
Only the current Duke of the Yannan Clan moved his lips and said slowly:
"Your Majesty is wise."
When he opened his mouth, the other three answered together as if they had discussed it.
The rest of the people on the long table were stunned. They didn't understand what the five masters were up to. They thought it would be a dangerous confrontation, but who knew...
Is this the end? !
Should I say it or not, I really didn't understand this wave of operations.
But no one would stand up to explain their doubts, and everyone had no choice but to end the court meeting in this confusion, and got up from the hall to leave.
People from the five families walked in the forefront, and the several princes exchanged a look again, and there was a faint smile in the depths of their eyes.
They are quite satisfied with today's parliamentary results.
Although it is said that the Xia family was not investigated, it has nothing to do with it at all.
If you don't investigate, you don't investigate, it doesn't matter at all.
Anyway, the royal family can't easily let go, and the purpose of the five families was not on this at the beginning.
They are mainly for pressure, and today's parliament is only the first round of pressure, and there will still be follow-up.
Now that the royal family has known their attitude, the next thing to consider is the continued exchange of interests, while slowly waiting for public opinion to ferment.
Many things take a certain amount of time to complete.
Gaoling Xia Clan is like this, so are the five great families. As for Qin Mo...
The same is true.
Just like that, time flies.
In the blink of an eye, it was already evening.
The faint yellow sunlight quietly passed through the open floor-to-ceiling windows, and hit Qin Mo's cheek mercilessly.
A turbulent warm current surged out of his chest very abruptly, but Qin Mo had already gotten used to it.
He didn't have the slightest extra reaction, his eyes focused on his eyes, and he opened the gene awakening panel.
Vision: 206
Listening: 200
Intelligence: 201
Breath: 200
Strength: 206
Speed: 205
Recovery: 200
Defense: 204
Light energy points: 38 (freely assignable)
The light energy points accumulated today hit a record high again, Qin Mo couldn't help but smile brightly.
He still follows the previous distribution plan, trying to maintain an all-round balanced development.
Except for the highest attributes of vision and strength, which add 4 points respectively, the remaining six attributes are allocated 5 points each. The huge warm current started from the chest and quickly spread to his whole body.
"Breathing: 205, Skill: Super Breathing Enhancement."
A larger warm current flowed to the lungs and its surrounding areas, and the scorching sun energy injected into every cell.
Qin Mo's super lungs began to strengthen inch by inch, possessing even more terrifying energy, capable of blowing out extremely cold air with a lower temperature, and exhaling a hurricane with a larger range and more powerful force.
The magnitude of this enhancement is doubled on the original basis, which means that Qin Mo can now easily freeze to death a seventh-level S-level awakener.
As for the destructive power of the hurricane, it goes without saying that it is no less than exhaled ice.
Thinking of this, Qin Mo became more and more joyful in his heart. As he got up from the chair, he exhaled a long breath of white air, and the temperature in the office suddenly dropped by four or five degrees.
Li Tiangang, who had been lying in the corner playing with his mobile phone, raised his head violently, his brows were raised, and his eyes were slightly narrowed.
The change in the surrounding temperature has already aroused his keen perception.
But Li Tiangang soon discovered that the sudden genetic fluctuation came from Qin Mo, and he suddenly lost interest, and whispered:
"I thought I could relax my muscles and bones, but it's boring."
After saying that, Li Tiangang stood up lazily, walked to Qin Mo, frowned and asked, "What were you doing just now?"
"Nothing, just a small experiment."
Qin Mo smiled and shook his head, hiding the real reason.
Li Tiangang could tell that he wasn't telling the truth, but it's normal for a peerless genius like Qin Mo to hide something.
Therefore, he didn't continue to ask the bottom line, but instead asked: "What's for dinner today?"
"I said, it's only five o'clock, and you already want to eat???"
"Stop talking nonsense, finish eating early and get down to business early." Li Tiangang said impatiently.
"Huh? What's the business?" Qin Mo asked blankly.
"Boy, are you pretending to be a fool here? Don't worry, you don't need to pay for health care tonight. I don't need these three melons and two dates."
Li Tiangang put on an angry look, rolled his eyes at Qin Mo, turned around and walked out.
"Ahem..."
Qin Mo coughed lightly, how could he see the daze that had appeared between his brows and eyes just now?
I saw him quickly clean up the desk, and then quickly followed.
The two of them took the elevator all the way down to the first floor of the Security Bureau. After getting into Li Tiangang's sports car in the underground parking lot, they drove towards Lingyun District in no time.
In less than ten minutes, Qin Mo appeared at the barbecue stall that he frequented.
The smoke from charcoal grilling followed the summer evening breeze and brushed the cheeks of the two of them, breaking into the nostrils unreasonably, showing them the most authentic appearance of the imperial capital.
This is, fireworks on earth.
Qin Mo likes this kind of life very much...
Subsequently, various meat skewers were quickly brought to the table by the boss.
Qin Mo chatted with Li Tiangang while rolling the string.
But about half an hour later, a group of young people in uniform clothes suddenly appeared at the corner of the road ahead, including more than 30 men and women.
This group of more than 30 people walked along the side of the road, and didn't stop until they were 50 meters away from Qin Mo.
Afterwards, they quickly dispersed and distributed the leaflets they held in their arms.
It is almost six o'clock now, and it will be the evening rush hour after get off work, a period of time when the flow of people is very large in a day.
Therefore, the leaflets of this group of people were scattered quickly, and within a few minutes their hands were empty.
Seeing their behavior like this, Qin Mo was suddenly curious.
He looked carefully, and saw that what was written on those leaflets was actually all the negative news about the Gaoling Xia family published in the report, densely packed with pictures and texts, obviously carefully designed.
The uniform clothes on these people also made Qin Mo recognize their identities.
There are four small characters written on the golden badge on the cuff: Imperial Capital University.
This is a group of college students, and what they have to do now seems to be...
Qin Mo's curiosity grew stronger, and he continued to look over.
I saw a woman with a good figure and high ponytail, stepping on a pair of small black round-toed leather shoes, walking in front of everyone.
She cleared her throat, held up the flyer in her hand, and shouted to everyone around:
"Everyone, we can no longer be deceived!"
The clear and powerful voice fell to the ground, and the surrounding crowd quickly gathered.
It is human nature to eat melons and watch the excitement. This thing is almost engraved in the bones, and it cannot be changed at all.
When the crowd was almost gone, the girl with the high ponytail looked around, and then made a brief self-introduction, saying that they were students from the News Department of Imperial University.
Immediately afterwards, she began her sonorous and powerful performance.
"Presumably everyone has recently paid attention to the many negative reports of the Gaoling Xia Clan. The content of these reports is really chilling and even more heartbreaking.
At the beginning, I didn't believe it. As a journalism student, I subconsciously thought that this was a report without any evidence, and it was the rest of the family's smearing of the Xia family.
Please believe me, the aristocratic families have a probability of more than 60% to do such dirty things. "
After the girl with the high ponytail finished speaking, she paused for a while, giving the people who didn't know the truth enough time to react.
After seeing most of the people nodding their heads, she continued to speak righteously:
"However, I was wrong this time, I was blinded by the Xia clan, I never thought that the Gaoling Xia clan would be worse than imagined!
Not long ago, the Chenzhong train was attacked by Qi State. Not only the Duke of our Great Qin Empire was attacked, but also more than a thousand innocent lives were completely lost.
I am very sad about such a thing, but while I am sad, I also want to find out the truth hidden in it.
The attack on the Chenzhong high-speed train has another hidden story! "
One word at a time, categorical.
Her tone was very contagious, as if it was really what she said.
The crowd around heard her words, like ants exploded in a pot, and there was a lot of voices and discussions in an instant.
The matter of the morning bell can be said to be the fuse of this border war between Qin and Qi!
The people of the Great Qin Empire paid no less attention to this matter than other hot spots.
And now, the high-achieving student in front of her who claims to be the News Department of Imperial University, first mentioned the Gaoling Xia family, and then the Morning Bell, what exactly is she trying to say?
Could it be that there is some kind of connection between the two?
No one knows.
But this female student with a high ponytail raised a topic, but did not give an answer.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, she directly turned to ask loudly:
"Everyone, Jiuyuan County is the hinterland of our Great Qin. It is tens of thousands of kilometers away from the border between the two countries. How did the people of Qi sneak into the hinterland quietly?
Is the border defense line of our Great Qin Empire useless?
Could it be that the champion Hou has guarded the border for many years, and the Qi people dare not take a step, is this all an illusion?
Who in the Great Qin Empire provided convenience to the people of Qi? And who has second thoughts about the empire?
…
…”
This series of questions, like a series of cannonballs, did not give the people any time to react, and directly entered their minds.
The "passionate speech" that took place on the street has completely grasped people's psychology, and everything is under the control of the girl with a high ponytail.
Qin Mo's eyes flickered, and a strange color flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he boasted secretly in his heart.
"Good acting!"
Afterwards, he instantly magnified his hearing range by a hundred times, and all the sounds in a radius of tens of miles flooded into his mind, and the super brain quickly began to analyze and process it.
After a few seconds, the calculation of the data was completed, and at the same time, passionate speeches like the one before appeared in many streets of the imperial capital.
As for what they said, although there are differences, they are all pretty much the same.
Qin Mo's previous conjecture was confirmed at this moment.
He thought there was something wrong with girls with high ponytails at first, now it seems...
She is indeed a member of the five families.
The five members are continuously guiding public opinion, pushing the Xia family to the forefront, and this speed is really flying fast.
The ancient family that has been passed down for thousands of years has such a great influence in this huge empire. It can be seen from this small detail.
Seeing more and more people gathered around the girl with the high ponytail, Qin Mo looked away, shook his head slowly, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion in a low voice:
"Professional households deserve to be professional households."
