Chapter 683 Mechanical Interstellar (2)
After all, it's fun to slack off for a while, and it's even more fun to keep slacking off.
Rich, good-looking, able to cook for themselves from time to time, and not having to do anything else—isn't life great?
Of course, Wangyou didn't miss out on learning what she needed to learn. After all, the old patriarch was grooming Wangyou as his successor and wouldn't really let her completely give up. To be honest, Wangyou really wanted to give up completely, but the actual situation didn't allow it!
She enjoyed the family's upbringing and the benefits it brought her, so she must bear the responsibility. This is an eternal truth, so Wangyou only thought about it in her heart.
"Wangyou, you're all grown up now. What are your thoughts on your future husband?" the clan chief asked kindly.
"Let's report my genetic data to the AI and let it match automatically, that'll save us trouble." Wangyou didn't have many thoughts on this, but in interstellar space, not getting married was really not an option.
"Okay, then we'll do it your way. Don't worry about your parents; they probably can't tell the difference between the two kings."
"Chieftain, I'm not worried. Besides, I accept kinship if it exists, and I don't need to force it if it doesn't."
"I just feel like our Xie family hasn't had a brain-dead person in so many years. This is the first time I've heard that our daughter is being groomed by the clan and that they've brought back someone from outside to comfort the longing for their daughter. It's like they'll never see her again in this lifetime." The clan leader, looking at the outstanding Wangyou, couldn't help but speak up for her.
"You said those two are mentally unstable, so why would I bother arguing with them? They won't disgust me anyway, so I'll just pretend I don't know anything."
“How could your dad, that idiot, really be a member of the Xie family? I found out he didn’t have a wooden tag, so I did several paternity tests, but the results were so disappointing. You can’t fake blood ties.”
“Since a thousand years ago, the number of wooden plaques from our Xie family has been decreasing, as you know.”
"I'm not going to talk about it anymore. It'll only make me angry. Once you get married, I'll be able to let go of this mess."
"Let's not. You can live for at least another two hundred years. It's better for me to continue sitting in the position of young master. Besides, I also want to reorganize the internal affairs of the Xie family. One example like my father is enough."
"Okay, okay, no problem. I'll have someone transfer all the power to you in a bit, and you can do whatever you want." The clan chief was so happy he almost jumped for joy.
"Okay, but those random banquets are either good or bad. If you can go, go; if you can't, just decline. I definitely won't be attending any of them anytime soon."
"Okay, no problem." The clan chief thought to himself that he didn't need to handle the big matters, but he could still manage these small things.
After the matter was settled, the clan chief handed over all the clan's affairs to Wangyou that afternoon.
After Wangyou uploaded her personal information to the StarNet, she began to reorganize the family's internal affairs.
In the Xie family, up to the generation of Wangyou, only Wangyou had a dragon plaque, thirteen people had a dragon plaque, eight hundred and twenty-two people had a snake plaque, and the rest did not have a wooden plaque.
If Wangyou hadn't suddenly appeared, then the next clan leader would have been chosen from among these thirteen people with dragon-shaped plaques.
Wangyou checked the clan's accounts and then tested the skills of the thirteen people one by one. They were not bad, but still not enough.
"Drip a drop of blood from your fingertip onto your wooden sign."
"Yes." The Dragon Token possessed absolute power, so these thirteen people were all very obedient, completely unlike their arrogant demeanor outside.
A moment later, the blood dripping was finished, and Wangyou clearly saw that all of them had closed their eyes.
While dealing with the situation, Wangyou waited for these people to open their eyes.
An hour later, these people opened their eyes one after another.
"Young Master, what is this?"
"You've received the inheritance?"
"How did the young master know? That's right, the young master must know."
"Practice diligently according to the tradition. I will check your progress every month from now on."
"Yes, my lord."
"Young Master, should we remind the others who have wooden plaques?"
"You guys can remind them, I won't say anything. If we can't get them notified, we can talk about it again at the next ancestral worship ceremony," Wangyou said after thinking for a moment.
"Yes, my lord."
"Go down!"
The inheritances that can be obtained from the Dragon Token, the Flood Dragon Token, and the Snake Token are different, so Wangyou is not worried. Moreover, as long as the wooden tokens are with them, Wangyou doesn't need to worry about these things. What should be worried about now are those who don't have wooden tokens.
The absence of wooden signs signifies a lack of restraint, making it unsurprising that they might engage in any kind of chaotic or disorderly conduct.
Wangyou spent three whole months thoroughly investigating the situation inside and outside the Xie family, and dealt with the spies who had infiltrated the Xie family and those who had violated the Xie family's ancestral precepts with swift and decisive measures.
Wangyou didn't let her father off the hook either. She found that apart from having some mental issues, her father was otherwise fine, so she stopped bothering with him.
As for her brothers, let's not even mention them. They're always busy with their fake sister, and they've probably forgotten what their own surnames are.
After completely seizing control of the Xie family, Wangyou took out the Chinese recipe book and had Xie Junnian arrange for it to be distributed. In addition to sending people on missions to collect the plants in the recipe book, even the insectoids were not spared. After all, those things in the recipe book that looked similar to crayfish and crabs were also insectoids.
There's no reason why those things were edible thousands of years ago but are no longer edible now.
Although Xie Junnian didn't quite understand why his young master wanted to eat insectoids, he was obedient.
After catching the oversized lobster and crab, Wangyou directed a member of her tribe with wood-type abilities to create them.
Then, the oversized lobster completely won over their appetites.
"Young Master, this stuff is so delicious, and it can even soothe mental turmoil." After tasting it, Xie Junnian instantly perked up, and his expression of fearlessness completely disappeared.
"It seems that wood-type abilities are indeed more suitable for cooking, but why can't I?" Wangyou looked at the black vines in her palm, puzzled.
"Well, young master, I'll have someone finish the rest and distribute it to everyone to motivate them to fight the Zerg." Xie Junnian decisively slipped away.
The reason for the question is that they are afraid the young master will not believe in superstition and will cook again. Not only will he cook, but he will also have people taste-test the food. Xie Junnian said that the young master's cooking skills are really not enjoyable at all.
The Xie family members looked disgusted before eating, but after eating, they found it delicious!
Now, they no longer disliked the bug's appearance. And the clever one was thinking of catching some other insects next time to try, just in case they could be eaten too.
Putting aside whether it tastes good or not, the fact that it calms down their mental energy is enough to make their efforts worthwhile. After all, mental energy turmoil is really uncomfortable, and in severe cases, it can lead to death.
Suddenly, people around noticed that after their previous big moves, the Xie family began to frequently go on missions and hunt Zerg. Their expressions were no longer as grief-stricken as before; their eyes were filled with excitement as if they had encountered something great.
