Chapter 208: The Prince's Marriage Proposal
Hua Ran and Ling Xiao exited the virtual world and obtained first-hand information from the Imperial Research Institute.
The data contains detailed records of people born in the past twenty years, and the fertility rate has shown a particularly significant decline.
The mental strength of babies born in these 20 years basically did not exceed SSS level.
The closer the timeline is to the present, the more children die suddenly from mental defects.
Hua Ran was born with mental impairment, which falls within the statistical range.
But her mental defect was caused by the Dragon Whip, which is different from the stupid and sudden death children shown in the statistics.
According to statistics, in the year 4934 of the Interstellar Calendar, there was a sharp drop in the fertility rate.
That is to say, from the six months of the cold season to now May of spring, no newborn baby has been born in 6 months.
It was when the data appeared that it really caused panic among the people.
The paper points out that mental power is a power unique to the Blue Star civilization, and strong genes are a power system developed in the interstellar era.
The interstellar environment has changed. Starting from last year's unusual cold season disaster, interstellar humans may face a more severe living environment.
Difficulties in fertility will be the first major disaster facing interstellar humans.
In the 4935th year of the Interstellar Calendar, the interstellar universe entered the Interstellar Ice Age.
The publication of this paper caused great panic among the people.
All major hospitals are packed with people, all consulting on fertility issues.
All the families who are planning to have a baby are posting their fertility problems on the Star Network. They can’t get pregnant, they can’t get pregnant…
Those who did not believe were also shaken.
Some people even posted that their children had been stolen and were missing, calling on everyone to take good care of their children.
There are frequent chaos in the interstellar society, and families with children are strictly guarded and protected as if they were treasures.
The old emperor called Ling Zhen into the palace and gave him a scolding, and had to urgently come out to appease the people of the empire.
The Empire promised that it would come up with a solution and interstellar humanity would be immortal.
Ling Zhen didn't care at all about being scolded. He even wanted to make the news of the Sea of Strange Beasts public.
However, he did not dare to really do so. If he did, the rule of the empire would be in chaos.
After the press conference, Ling Zhen took the opportunity to propose his idea of marrying Hua Qing?
The old emperor looked at his high-spirited second son in astonishment and asked, "Are you serious?"
"Father, Hua Qing and I are in love, please help us!"
The old emperor laughed out of anger. He could see that Ling Zhen had already had feelings for Hua Qing.
Those who respected and admired the elder brother and assisted the prince in the past were all fake.
No wonder he, as a father, couldn’t see clearly and felt so heartbroken when Ling Xiao was betrayed for the first time.
Ling Zhen pretended so well.
"Don't you feel guilty for treating your elder brother like this?" the old emperor couldn't help but ask.
Ling Zhen said innocently, "Big brother and Hua Qing have already broken off their engagement."
"Father, a woman as outstanding and powerful as Hua Qing should be the daughter-in-law of our royal family."
The old emperor was speechless at his shamelessness.
"Even if I agree, do you think Marshal Hua will agree to marry his two granddaughters into the royal family?"
"Father, Marshal Hua will definitely agree."
The old emperor waved his hand and refused to care about his son.
He promised Xiao'er that he would no longer interfere in their affairs.
Ling Zhen left with satisfaction and headed straight for the royal family elders' meeting.
He told Hua Qing the news of his upcoming engagement.
All the elders of the Royal Family Elders' Council were almost confused by the Second Prince.
The issue of fertility rate is being discussed.
The joke about interstellar human extinction is not funny at all.
This led to another outrageous move of getting engaged to Hua Qing, the eldest daughter of the Hua family.
"Is the Hua family really willing to marry two girls into our royal family?"
"Marshal Hua may not necessarily care about his children's marriage if Hua Qing himself agrees."
"Everyone knows the Second Prince's purpose. What do you think?"
"The Second Prince's 4S-level strong genes are nothing special. I believe more in the Emperor of Heaven's Destiny."
"I think we should wait and see. There is still a year left."
"Then the Second Prince has too many corpses of Void Beasts in his hands. We three legions exchanged for them, and we cannot let him take them all by himself."
"I second the motion. I have a headache about the compensation for soldiers' casualties."
As soon as Ling Zhen returned to his residence, he received a notice from the royal family that he needed to hand over 9% of the corpses of the star beasts to compensate the martyrs.
Ling Zhen was so angry that he almost couldn't control his scales. He turned his back and said coldly: "Go get it."
The visitor left happily.
Ling Zhen thought about it and decided that it would be difficult to change his promise to Yuan Xiyao about the 20, and it would be even more impossible to change his mind about the 25 flowers.
The research at my aunt's side is also very urgent. He still doesn't have his own miracle mecha and star ship.
In the past, his strong genes were only at SS level, and he was unable to pilot the Miracle Mecha.
The research goal is to create a miracle mecha that can be controlled by SS-level players.
Now it is not necessary. The research direction needs to be changed to studying the super powerful miracle mecha with 4S strong genes.
The corpses of the void star beasts are also indispensable.
After Ling Zhen considered it, he could only temporarily withhold the reward from his subordinates.
After calming himself down, he called his guards and asked them about the whereabouts of the Void Star Beast. If anyone was willing to sell it, he would buy it back at any price.
Next, he brought 25 corpses of Void Star Beasts and went directly to the Hua family to propose marriage.
With Hua Xi in charge, the main house of the Hua family was very quiet. Hua Lang and Jiang Yingna tried to reduce their presence as much as possible. The two younger twins were even unable to study as they were immersed in the virtual world all day long.
Hua Qing and Hua Ran were jealous of each other in front of Grandpa as usual.
Of course, Hua Qing is embarrassed and usually gets angry with her face turning red and her neck thick.
Hua Ran didn't care about that and just did whatever she wanted, which won her more favor from Hua Xi.
When Hua Xi heard that Ling Zhen was coming to propose marriage, she looked at Hua Qing in surprise and asked someone to notify Hua Lang and Jiang Yingna.
Ling Zhen walked into the Hua family's gate with full confidence and greeted Marshal Hua and Hua Lang and his wife one by one.
His eyes looked at Hua Ran imperceptibly, and he was somewhat surprised that Hua Ran was pretty.
Although it's not the type he usually likes, it's okay to change his taste occasionally.
Hua Ran was swept by that look, as if she was being stared at by a snake. She was so frightened that her body froze in place. It took her a while to recover, and she suddenly felt a chill in her heart.
Snakes, rats and the like are really annoying.
Jiang Yingna was excited. She had heard a long time ago that the Second Prince's reputation was at its peak and he had unique 4S-level strong genes, so he was definitely the candidate for the next emperor.
This kind of character should be paired with her outstanding daughter Hua Qing.
In the future, Hua Qing will definitely become an empress and the mother of the country.
Hua Lang looked at Ling Zhen with a somewhat fiery gaze, which was a sign of admiration for a strong man.
4S level strong genes, surpassing the father's.
(Your father is always your father. Is 4S rare? I don’t bother to show it off, okay?)
After growing up for a few more years and owning his own miracle mecha, he will definitely be the strongest in the empire.
He was very excited that the strongest man would be his son-in-law and Hua Qing could become the empress.
