Add some practice: start with a lucid dream

Within an authoritative genetic testing company.

"I'm sorry, sir." The receptionist smiled professionally and handed over the test report.

"You should be aware of the situation. We often see this kind of thing."

"Look, if you are willing to upgrade to our platinum membership, I can help you apply and do it again for free."

Chen Ze took the report and flipped through it casually.

As the staff said, Chen Ze had been notified before arriving that the two samples he submitted for paternity testing were wrong. Both samples were taken from the same person.

Because the genetic test results are completely consistent, there is no difference, and they are definitely samples from the same person.

In fact, the two samples came from different Wang clan members.

But of course Chen Ze would not argue with the staff.

"Okay." Chen Ze stood up and prepared to leave.
"I'll think about it when I get back."

"You can contact us at any time. If you add our official account, we will provide you with promotional information at any time."

Before he finished speaking, the staff member's eyes suddenly dimmed, and then he stretched out his hand as if by mistake.

Another big hand followed up.

"Goodbye." Chen Ze let go and turned to leave.

"Goodbye." The staff member was in a trance and stood there for a long time.

Next, Chen Ze went to different companies and got back all the sample reports he sent for testing.

Taking advantage of the fact that he was not subject to air traffic control, Chen Ze flew all over the sky with frightening efficiency.

The results were all indistinguishable, and the genetic test results for different samples were exactly the same.

In other words, the records in Mo Dou and the truth that Wang Yi confessed are mostly correct.

All members of the Wang clan are cloned from the remains of Wang Lingguan, the Taoist protector mountain god.

Of course, Chen Ze believes that such results should not be too rigorous.

After all, according to records, every member of the Wang family born is divided into excellent and average, so it is definitely not a [-]% perfect replica.

But Chen Ze didn't have time to do more detailed genetic sequencing. After all, it was not necessary.

Wang Lingguan's remains have been tempered by him into the storage bag, and the Wang family may become truly extinct in the future.

The exact principles of how they clone are also a mystery.

In the next half month or so, while Chen Ze lived in seclusion in a small courtyard to consolidate what he had gained from his practice, he sent people to take turns gathering the scattered Wang clan members.

Originally, Chen Ze thought that the Wang family had been operating here for many years, but no matter what they did, it would have to be complicated and powerful.

But the result was somewhat beyond his expectation.

There were only a dozen Wang clan members scattered outside, and each one was worse off than the last. At this time, they all stood in front of Chen Ze.

"Mr. Chen." Wang Yi introduced with a nod and a bow.
"That's all the people."

After Chen Ze's correction, he no longer shouted like an expert.

Chen Ze nodded and glanced at everyone in front of him over and over again.

These people are horrific in appearance and have been disfigured through various means. Standing together at this moment is like a horrifying freak show.

Not only that, most of them were timid and kept making small moves to dodge.

"Cough! Cough cough cough"

Chen Ze walked around them and found that these people were in poor health and basically had medicine jars.

This is also recorded in the books in Mo Dou's secret room.

As the generations pass on, the health of the Wang clan members gets worse and worse. Most of the clan members usually live less than fifty, and they become plagued by various diseases as they get older.

They have never been able to find a reason for this, so they can only accept this cruel reality and lament that each generation is not as good as the last.

But Chen Ze knew better.

After getting along with each other these days, he has a good understanding of what all Wang clan members have in common.

As expected, it was derived from the genes of the legendary heavenly general Wang Lingguan. Anyone he pulled out would be the only monastic genius Chen Ze had ever seen in his life.

And therein lies the problem.

Somewhat similar to Chen Ze before getting the plug-in, because [Tongxuan] was too high and his body was unbalanced and weak.

These Wang clan members have stronger talents, but due to the environment of heaven and earth, they cannot practice, and the energy consumed by their thoughts and bodies cannot be replenished, and the backlash is even more extreme.

It’s not that the Wang clan is getting worse from generation to generation, it’s that the environment of the world is deteriorating year by year.

So ironically, the rubbish, defective products and even "animals" that were picked over and sent away by the Wang clan were actually people with better talents and better inheritance of Wang Lingguan's genes.

And those who are slightly stronger are singled out as geniuses for special treatment precisely because they are not talented enough and are more like ordinary people, so they are better able to adapt to the current era of law-ending.

Having said that, these Wang clan members who were sent out naturally did not do well because of their poor health and lack of identity, coupled with various behavioral restrictions from Master Wang.

Even so, the proportion of "defectors" is extremely low. Perhaps it is due to being brainwashed in Mo Dou since childhood, or perhaps because they have no skills and are separated from the mutual assistance of the tribe, which will make life more miserable.

Wang Bing, who runs a hardware store, is considered the best among these people.

And Wang Lin is undoubtedly the most special one among everyone.

"Do you know Wang Lin?" Chen Ze shook his hand and turned Wang Lin's face into a light screen to show everyone.

This move shocked everyone, but they quickly responded to Wang Yi's scolding,

"never seen it."

"I have no idea.".
Most people denied it, while a few people noticed that this man looked exactly like Wang Yi.

Wang Zhenren and his successor Wang Yi usually wear detachable wooden masks to show off to others, and few people have seen their true faces.

Only one person stood out from the crowd and took a step forward to point out the way,

"I know."

A dozen eyes immediately focused on him.

Chen Ze noticed that this man was obviously older and had a much calmer temperament than the others.

"His name is Wang Geng." The king next to him was very discerning and immediately came over to explain,
"I have been out for decades, and he is the oldest one. He usually runs a tea shop."

"Wang Geng." Chen Ze repeated,
"You stay, the others can go back first."

After the crowd dispersed, Chen Ze glanced at Wang Yi again.

"Hehe. If you need something, call me." Wang Yi didn't just stay there, he just made a haha ​​and then left.

So only Chen Ze and Wang Geng were left in the small courtyard.

"Tell me about it." Chen Ze was not polite,
"What do you know?"

"The first time I met Wang Lin was when I was ninety years old." Wang Geng thought for a moment and then spoke smoothly, seeming to be deeply impressed by this.His face was covered with large scarlet scars and pale white hyperplastic tissue, which were said to have been burned by an iron.

However, judging from his hair color, Wang Geng must be at least 60 years old.

"At that time, he had just come out of his home, that is, Mo Dou, and he found me and wanted to hide for a while." Wang Geng spoke clearly and showed no sign of being an old fool.

"Wait a minute." Chen Ze asked back.

"Do you know where it's called Mo Dou?"

The official name of Mo Dou is known only to a few senior officials.

"I used to be called Wang Wu in Mo Dou, and I had some status." Wang Geng still added calmly,
"Wang Lin used to be the 'Wang Yi' of that generation, so he knew where to find me."

"Wang Yi." Chen Ze couldn't help but add another sentence,
"Has he been the successor of Zhenren Wang before?"

"Yes, when I saw his face, I knew he must be Wang Yi. Only Wang Zhenren and Wang Yi have the privilege not to be disfigured."

"Then why is he out?"

"He knew better and felt that there was no future in Mo Dou, so he defected."

"."

"Actually, I'm just like him." Wang Geng's words gradually brought a hint of desolation,
"I just felt that there was no future in it, so I wanted to come out and try my luck."

"But when I got outside, I didn't know anything, and I was a gangster. I could only work part-time, and I was often cheated out of my wages. Alas."

"In the end, I had to contact Mo Douli again. At least I could keep warm with other people who came out and have some help."

"Wang Yi, no, Wang Lin, he knows that I am the same type of person as him, so he came to me to avoid the pursuers in Mo Dou."

"And then." Chen Ze's curiosity was suddenly aroused.

"Hahaha" Wang Geng shook his head and laughed,
"Wang Lin is smart, but he is too young and thinks too much."

"Where are the pursuers? Why are you chasing him back? To welcome him back and then become the king, the boss, and dominate him?"

"He's gone and the position is vacant. It's too late for others to be happy, so they won't chase after him."

"After hiding for a while, he figured it out and decided to go out and try his best."

"Originally, he asked me to come with him, but I didn't go because I had suffered a loss and lost my morale."

"Before he left, he gave himself a new name, Wang Lin. He said that he was not qualified enough to be called Wang Lingguan. He would change it to Wang Lingguan when he was strong enough and restored the glory of his ancestor."

"Well, I persuaded him not to move, so I had to give him some money. I hope he can live a better life."

"I think, at least he is better than me, and at least he has a good face, right?"

"Cough, cough, cough, cough."

Wang Geng's physical condition does not seem to be as good as it looks.

After all, among the Wang clan, being able to live to the age of sixty is as rare as a beast sitting in prison.

Huhuhu~
A strong wind blew by. It was almost summer, but it still made Wang Geng shiver.

Chen Ze saw this and picked up a falling leaf, and the delicate Yuan Qi was quickly carved into it like the veins of the leaf.

"Look up." Chen Ze shouted to Wang Geng who lowered his head and covered his mouth.

When the latter raised his head, his eyes were filled with flowers, and he felt a mountain of fallen leaves overwhelming the sky.

Bang.

Chen Ze picked up a fallen leaf with his fingers and gently pressed it on Wang Geng's forehead, and a loud muffled sound came out.

Then the fallen leaves quickly digested and dissolved, and were drawn into countless strands of light that sank into Wang Geng's body, flashing across the entire body, outlining mysterious textures.

A few seconds later, when Chen Ze took away his fingers, Wang Geng was surprised to find that his heart was clear and his breathing was smoother than ever.

How could a long-standing problem be cured in such a simple way?
Wang Geng thought this was ridiculous, like a child playing house. If the doll's arm fell off, he would use glue to fix it.

It was like a dream!
After coming back to his senses, Wang Geng met Chen Ze's eyes and continued speaking consciously,

"Later on, we still kept in touch occasionally, but we suddenly stopped for a few years."

"Wait until he comes to see me again. Thinking about it, it must have been around [-]. I remember it very clearly. At that time, I had just opened a tea shop, and it was easy for me to stabilize."

"Wang Lin suddenly found me, and I learned that he had been in prison for several years."

"He told me that he met a capable person in prison and became a master. He came back this time to repair the Mo Dou and revive the Wang family."

At this time, Chen Ze also thought about it. The Wang clan members said that Mo Dou was repaired by an expert named Zhu more than ten years ago. The passage to the outside world was restored a lot, but it was only temporary.

No wonder Mo Dou is filled with entertainment products from more than ten years ago. One "Legend of Sword and Fairy" has been watched over and over again.

"Is Wang Lin's master named Zhu?" Chen Ze verified.

"Yes." Wang Geng was not surprised, because in his heart he already regarded Chen Ze as a master, not even a human being.
"Later I heard that their return to Mo Douli caused a lot of conflicts."

"But in the end, the Mo Dou was repaired, but not all of it. Wang Lin and the others still withdrew and built a 'Prince's Mansion' next to it."

"There are so many twists and turns here, I didn't ask."

"At that time, I saw that Wang Lin was not in a good mood, and he no longer talked about revitalization and recovery every day."

"After the palace was built, the master named Zhu ran away to who knows where, and Wang Lin stayed there."

"Later, Wang Lin used the skills his master taught him to make a fortune, and made friends with many big names, and his days became more and more comfortable."

"But I always feel that he has no taste in his heart."

Wang Geng said and began to sigh again.

"What do you mean?"

"I still remember." Wang Geng looked nostalgic,
"When Wang Lin first came out, he was very high-spirited and bragging to me every day, haha."

"Later he built a palace and lived a comfortable life, but he lost his temper."

"When he came to me for a drink, he often talked about it, saying that he was sorry for the brothers he met in prison. He failed to fulfill his promise and was embarrassed to see others."

"He just kept drinking, and he didn't act crazy when he was drunk. He just asked me to comment. He exchanged the treasure his brother gave him for a apprenticeship ceremony. Is it worth it?"

"He said he thought his master was powerful enough, but he didn't expect there were still many things he couldn't do, so he had to leave it to fate."
Wang Geng rambled on about many past events, including how Wang Lin made friends with those wealthy celebrities, and how he secretly laughed at them for having no brains and believing everything they said.

But later Wang Lin realized that those people were not stupid.

But because everyone believes it, others believe it, and the rest can only follow suit.

The tricks and magic tricks that Wang Lin knew were not important. What was important was the connections, relationships, and resources that gathered around him.

He knows it well and is just acting on occasion.

It's a pity that when Wang Lin finally realized that he was just a broker, he fell deeper and deeper into the trap and could no longer escape.

However, both unfortunately and fortunately, he could not escape the short-lived gene of the Wang clan and died suddenly due to illness, but he did not suffer much.

"Wang Lin told you, what exactly is the treasure he took to become a disciple?" Chen Ze nodded after listening, but then asked another seemingly trivial question. (End of chapter)
