MTL - I Am Invincible After Awakening the Superman Gene-Chapter 161 good but not good enough
Chapter 161 is good, but not good enough
Afternoon, two o'clock.
Li's Manor, the second floor of the old castle.
In the study, Qin Mo and Li Mou sat facing each other, and the expensive chessboard was still placed in front of them.
On the chessboard, the two black and white pieces are staggered, and it has reached the middle game. The situation is extremely dangerous, revealing a faint murderous aura.
Although the Go board is only an inch in size, the Great Qin Empire stretches across the world.
The so-called seeing the big from the small is exactly the case.
Li Mou used his index finger and **** to gently twist a sunspot, frowning slightly, he pondered for a long time, but couldn't get it down.
As early as a long time ago, Qin Mo's attainments in one game of Go far surpassed him, and he is naturally struggling to play now.
The two met again after seven days, and Li Mou couldn't wait to seek abuse again.
After a long time, his brows finally relaxed, but the chess piece in his hand still didn't land on the board, but was put back into the chess box by him.
"Forget it, I'll lose this game." Li Moulue said a little depressed.
Hearing this, Qin Mo, who was sitting opposite him, slowly raised the corners of his mouth, showing a faint smile, and said:
"It's just luck."
"How can there be any luck in chess? Losing is losing, winning is winning. From the beginning to the end, both sides are playing the game, and there must be no slack in the slightest.
If you insist on luck, you can only say that it is destiny, and you just played a wonderful move. "
Li Mou replied with a smile, it is obvious that what he said meant something, implying a pun.
It seems that on the surface it is talking about the way of the game of Go, but it is actually referring to the current situation in Daqin.
On the bright side, it seems that the waves are calm and calm, but in the dark, there are already turbulent waves, and the waves are all over the sky.
Between the thousand-year-old family and the thousand-year-old family, after Qin Mo's incident, two camps were forcibly divided. The Yannan family, the Far East Lin family, and the Changping Liu family were on one side, and the Qingyang Li family and Zhenbei Chu family were on the opposite side. party.
As for the royal power of the Great Qin Empire, it seems that the relationship with the Li family is a bit ambiguous, but in fact...
Li Mou did not intend to cooperate with the royal family.
Seeking skin from a tiger is tantamount to asking for a dead end.
Not to mention that the royal family is not a tiger, but a real dragon. Even if this real dragon is not soaring above the nine heavens and is temporarily trapped in the shallows, a dragon is a dragon after all.
Qin Mo is not someone who is ignorant of political disputes. Although he has not personally participated in it, he has never eaten pork, which does not mean he has never seen a pig run.
In addition, he now has a super brain, and his thinking is turning fast, and he understood Li Mou's hidden meaning almost instantly.
However, Qin Mo didn't say anything.
This is Cheongyang Lee's struggle, not his.
He and Li Shi of Qingyang are indeed friends with each other, but they are not completely tied to the same boat.
Qin Mo has no interest in these power confrontations, and he doesn't have any idea about who is sitting on that chair in the royal restricted area, as long as it doesn't interfere with his life.
So after hearing this, Qin Mo just smiled slightly and replied:
"Brother, you just think too much. Playing chess is just for entertainment. As long as you are happy, it doesn't matter who wins or loses."
Hearing this, Li Mou immediately knew what he was thinking.
He took a deep look at Qin Mo, then slowly shook his head and sighed:
"In this respect, I am not as good as you."
In this respect, it refers to the mentality of the two of them.
The reason why Qin Mo and Li Mou became Wangnian friends is mainly because they have compatible personalities and congenial spirits, and they are similar to a certain extent.
It's a pity that Li Mou's surname is Li, Li of the Li family in Qingyang.
He is the current patriarch of the Li family, and Li's blood flows in his body. The priority of doing anything must be the family.
Qin Mo does not have such a burden, he always does whatever he wants.
After a brief silence, Li Mou restrained his thoughts and said: "As for your being named Duke, we have to wait another two or three months to let the heat of public opinion completely subside.
But what happened last night in Daqin Prison, Ni boy showed his astonishing strength and suppressed it forcefully, which can be regarded as a wireless move. "
Li Mou showed a smile on his face, and continued: "I reckon that with this contribution, it only takes one month for the imperial capital to hold a ceremony to announce the appointment of the Duke."
"It doesn't matter whether it is announced to the world or not, and whether it is granted the title of Duke or not. What I want to know more is..."
Qin Mo paused for a moment, fixed his eyes on Li Mou, and said slowly: "The three heavenly kings last night, which one is behind the scenes?"
There is revenge for revenge, and there is resentment for resentment.
Since someone is trying so hard to kill him, it is impossible for him to act as if nothing happened.
Qin Mo has never been a good-tempered person, and the principles he upholds have always been so simple and rude.
This point can be seen from the previous Gaoling Xia clan.
At the beginning, Qin Mo's strength was not as good as Xia Zu's, so he could only choose to be patient temporarily.
And when he has enough strength, no matter what the overall situation of the imperial capital is, and no matter what the consequences will be in the future, Qin Mo beheaded Xia Zu in front of tens of millions of people!
The scene today is no different.
Besides, he opened his mouth to ask which family it was, obviously he had drawn a rough range in his mind.
It's not something hard to guess.
After all, he was able to release a second-order Heavenly King from the seventeenth underground floor of Daqin Prison silently, and he could easily use a piece of S-level elemental crystal to cooperate.
With such a big handwriting, there are only a few companies in the whole Daqin that can do it.
It’s not the royal family, it’s the other three families.
Li Mou has been mediating with all parties outside the prison. He has more information than Qin Mo, so he can see it more clearly.
After hearing this question, Li Moudang even shook his head and murmured:
"This should not be done by the royal family. Killing the donkey is not very meaningful to His Majesty. Your Majesty will not end so easily. I guess it was done by the other three."
After he finished speaking, he got up and took out a document from the bookshelf behind him, and handed it to Qin Mo.
After Qin Mo opened it, what caught his eyes was a piece of secret information he had found recently, and a few blurry photos were pasted on it.
Obviously, this was taken in an extremely remote place.
But with Qin Mo's eyesight, he recognized the figures on the photo at a glance, and they were the heads of the three great families.
The alliance of the three parties is not a secret, and Fang Xiang did not cover up too much, so it was easily detected by Li's intelligence agency.
Seeing this, Qin Mo couldn't help narrowing his eyes slowly.
"I have been in the imperial capital for many years, and I have dealt with several other companies. All of these people are extremely shrewd old foxes.
The interests of the family are always the first priority, so they must not be a single family. No matter which family is leading the matter, it will definitely involve the other two forcibly. "
Li Mou opened his mouth to explain, Qin Mo's eyes narrowed even tighter, a gleam of light flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he already had some calculations in his heart.
"I see." He said so.
The study room fell into a brief eerie silence, and the atmosphere quietly became dignified, as if there was a vague murderous intent.
Li Mou has a keen sense, and he quickly noticed this.
I saw him frowning slightly, and after thinking for a long time in his heart, he said slowly:
"It's the same sentence, don't act rashly, you are alone and weak, and you are far from being the opponent of the three big families.
Not to mention, the Qingyang Li family has a second ancestor in charge, and the rest of the families also have people who can compete with the second ancestor, otherwise the balance of Daqin would have been broken long ago.
After all, you are too young and your strength is not strong enough, but your advantage is your amazing talent and unparalleled growth rate. Wait another year or so before the time to liquidate.
You might as well just stay with me for the time being, and you can also play chess with me on weekdays, what do you think? "
Every word and sentence shows the meaning of caring.
It is obvious that Li Mou is sincerely thinking about Qin Mo's safety, for fear that he will do impulsive things like he did a few days ago.
But Li Mou obviously doesn't know Qin Mo well enough.
Even if he doesn't say these things, Qin Mo still has his own measure in his heart.
When the strength is not enough, of course he can't go to die foolishly.
The superhuman gene in his body is just in its infancy, and it is far from revealing its true power.
In short, Qin Mo will definitely not act impulsively.
But...
Living here with Mrs. Li is still exempt.
There is absolutely no need for this.
The ancient castle of the Li family in Qingyang may not be so safe, the second ancestor is the guarantee of safety.
In this case, why should Qin Mo live here?
Thinking like this, he directly explained the reason to Li Mou, saying that it is better to live in Baiyun District.
After hearing this, Li Mou had no choice but to nod his head.
Afterwards, he frowned and asked again: "I heard that you are looking for Xia Zu's body, why are you looking for this?"
"Speaking of this, did Mrs. Li have any results?" Qin Mo asked without answering.
Li Mou shook his head and replied: "Not yet, but it's strange to say that Xia Zu's body seems to have evaporated from the world, and all the clues are stopped in the imperial forbidden zone, and it is difficult to follow up, and they can't be found at all. "
"If that's the case, then let the intelligence agencies stop for a while. I just wanted to verify a certain conjecture in my heart. It's not a big deal."
Qin Mo replied with a wave of his hand, smiling.
Seeing this, Li Mou looked at him suspiciously, but finally nodded and did not continue to ask.
After that, the two played another game of chess and chatted about some things casually.
When it was almost three o'clock, Qin Mo found an excuse, left the study and went to the big lawn outside the castle, and found a place with sufficient sunlight to continue absorbing the sun's energy.
This continued until the sun was about to set on the mountain, and a familiar warm current gushed out of Qin Mo's chest.
Light energy points: 43 (freely assignable)
Looking at the line of small characters on the awakening panel, a strong smile appeared on the corner of Qin Mo's mouth.
The light energy points accumulated today have once again broken through the forty mark, which is very good news.
As usual, Qin Mo still maintained the principle of balanced distribution, adding 5 points to each of the eight attributes, and then adding 1 point to vision, intelligence, and strength.
The huge warm current quickly dissipated to his whole body, injecting scorching solar energy into every cell.
Intelligence is also an attribute that Qin Mo focuses on now, because the mysterious spiritual awakener he met in Daqin Prison made him deeply aware of the importance of intelligence.
"My current intelligence has reached 283 points, which is much stronger than it was seven days ago. I don't know what kind of expression that spiritual awakened person will show when he comes to my dream again."
Thinking of this, the smile on the corner of Qin Mo's mouth became more intense.
And after the solar energy was injected, a piece of information flashed from his mind again.
"Recovery: 279, Skill: Super Stamina, Enhanced."
Qin Mo's strength has once again been greatly improved. After the super endurance is strengthened, it means that his battery life will be doubled again on the original basis.
You must know that short-term super bursts are important, but persistence is the most critical point.
Moreover, Qin Mo also keenly discovered another abnormality.
He has accumulated more than 40 light energy points every day now, but half a month ago he could only accumulate more than 30 points a day, and it was more than ten points at the beginning.
It is obvious that Qin Mo accumulates more and more light energy points every day.
Among them, a small part of the reason is that the temperature in the imperial capital is getting higher and higher in midsummer, but if it quadruples... it cannot be explained by the climate alone.
It must be that Qin Mo absorbs solar energy faster.
It's just that he doesn't know whether it's because his physique is improving in all aspects, or whether it's the hidden effect of restoring this attribute.
Or maybe, both?
But one thing is certain, since the recovery is shown on the Gene Awakening panel alone, it is absolutely impossible to be a useless attribute.
Qin Mo's distribution plan for balanced development is obviously the most correct.
Afterwards, after finishing his daily savings for today, he got up and returned to the castle, preparing to attend the dinner.
This dinner was Li's private family banquet, and it was all acquaintances, and there were no other guests. The atmosphere of the banquet was extremely harmonious, and Qin Mo didn't feel the slightest discomfort.
The dinner party lasted for more than an hour before it was completely over.
After chatting casually with Li Mou and Li Tiangang for a while, Qin Mo returned to the third floor of the castle.
The Qingyang Li family specially prepared a room for him, and the layout style was completely copied from his bedroom on Guanghong Street, which obviously put a lot of thought into it.
Seeing this, Qin Mo couldn't help smiling, and then lay down on the big bed safely.
Soon, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
at the same time…
Qin Mo fell asleep again.
At this time, it was two o'clock in the morning, and the castle was silent.
Qin Mo suddenly woke up from the bed with an extremely calm expression.
He slowly got up and sat up, and opposite him, there was a strange figure who looked exactly like him, sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, looking at him with a smile on his face.
"I heard that you have been promoted to the second rank of Heavenly King. This is really a great thing." Fake Qin Mo said.
Hearing this, Qin Mo also had a faint smile on his mouth, and replied softly:
"Advanced is indeed good, but it is not good enough. If you die here tonight, it will be good enough."
