After lunch, the peer alliance ceremony will continue in the afternoon.
At the beginning of the afternoon, Yang Tuo was the first to speak.
After all, he is an official, so he still needs to make a speech.
Academician Yang's current status is very different from that before the deal in the Outer Xing'an Mountains.
Before, he was just a scholar who had just returned to China, but now he is the director of the Lanzhou Institute of Biology, the leader of the National Strange Creatures Response Team, and the director of a certain national administration.
In addition to being an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, he is now an official at the hall level.
For a bureaucrat in his thirties, he can shout loudly wherever he puts it.
However, the content of Yang Tuo's speech today has nothing to do with his current three identities.
After some courtesy, the main content of his speech was about the Strange Creatures Research Society under the Hunting Gate and the prospect of future cooperation with the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Academician Yang's speech was extremely professional, and his tone was even and steady. It lasted for more than an hour.
The main content of this morning was fighting, but in the afternoon it was such a serious speech, the contrast was too great.
So when Academician Yang was speaking, the thousand or so hunters below all nodded their heads and dozed off.
And the time for Yang Tuo's speech was indeed specially arranged by Lin Shuo and Cao Yusheng, so that everyone in the audience could take a nap after dinner.
At noon, changing cups and cups is to let people rest for a while.
After that, Lin Shuo, the leader of Liemen, came on stage and began to formally push forward the agenda that should be completed today: the nomination of Liemen Nine-inch Family.
In the last peer alliance ceremony, the Liemen established the six families of Liemen, Jiangnan Lin, Sai Beizhang, Yan Yuncao, Yunguimiao, Qiang Disu, and Huguangyun, who have been leading the Liemen for a hundred years.
This year's Peer Alliance Ceremony, the six families will become the nine families. In addition to the original six families remaining unchanged, three more seats will be added.
At the same time, Lin Shuo temporarily nominated the He family in Shennongjia and the Jin family in Borneo to the position of the Jiucun family, and they will play as the defenders in the threshold attack and defense.
After Lin Shuo made this arrangement, everyone in the Liemen under the stage was very stable, and no one had any objections.
Lin Shuo had predicted this situation a long time ago. In fact, the change from the Six Families to the Nine Families lies in the knowledge of this.
Don't intensify the conflict because of the limited number of places. From six to nine, the main thing is to maintain stability.
Of course, after the expansion of the number of Nine Inch Clans, the overall quality is naturally not as good as that of the previous Six Families.
But it's okay, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. In the next hundred years, the Jiucun family, whose overall strength has not been improved, will naturally disappear in the fierce confrontation with the beasts and alien species.
Natural elimination, no one has anything to say.
But then, Lin Shuo also announced a decision, which finally made the environment of the whole venue not so quiet:
The nine masters finally selected in this year's Peer Alliance Ceremony will all move back to China.
Everyone could tell that this decision had no effect on the original six families, and it had nothing to do with the He family in Shennongjia.
The main target is the Jin family in Borneo, and one or two other families that have won the threshold offense and defense.
The Jin family in Borneo is actually not a big problem.
Although the people in the hunting gate didn't know about it, in fact, Jin Wenlan was the only one left in the Jin family.
And the people in the hunting gate on the field would think that since the Jin family has been nominated as the Jiucun family by the leader, the matter of moving back to China should have been discussed.
Besides, Borneo, a place where birds don't shit, is indeed not as good as in China.
The crux of the problem lies in those powerful Qicun families who have emigrated overseas at the same time.
In fact, there are only a few Qicun families who can compete for this spot, and the two families with the greatest chances happen to be from abroad.
The Zhong family in Australia and the Tang family in the United States.
These two companies have been rooted in Australia and the United States for a long time, and their roots are deep. If they want to move back to China, it will undoubtedly hurt their muscles and bones.
Therefore, people in the hunting gate will inevitably worry that the chief executive's decision may cause trouble.
As a result, other people under the stage discussed for a long time, but the two Patriarchs of the Zhong family and the Tang family kept their eyes on their noses and their hearts, without saying a word.
Everyone soon realized that everyone has no objections, so let's not worry about it.
So the commotion on the field quickly subsided.
The hunters present are either the heads of the families or the powerful inheritance hunters. They are all shrewd people.
From Yang Tuo's speech to Lin Shuo's arrangements, everyone can hear the keynote of this year's peer alliance ceremony, that is, systematic management.
Originally, Liemen was a loose family alliance. Each family lived its own life, but only shared information to a certain extent, and then cooperated occasionally.
Once hunting in cooperation, the order in the hunting team is based on the family threshold.
So strictly speaking, the family threshold before the Hunting Gate is said to determine the superiority and inferiority within the Hunting Gate. In fact, it is a technical order, not a management order.
Looking at it now, Lin Shuo, the leader, wants to integrate the entire Hunting Gate through the Strange Creatures Research Association, and establish a management order.
This matter, in fact, is not a bad thing for the small family of Liemen.
The small family of Liemen has had a hard time in the past hundred years. They can't deal with the powerful beast variants, and the slightly weaker beast variants have basically been exterminated now.
In fact, the business of the family has been discontinued long ago, and they have been living on side jobs for decades.
As long as the food and appearance are not too ugly, Liemen will not care about these sideline jobs for survival.
The main business of hunting was unsustainable before, but now, with the development of the Strange Creatures Research Association, although the small family can't eat meat, they can at least have soup.
Therefore, what Lin Shuo, Cao Yusheng and others are promoting in this year's peer school has only advantages and no disadvantages for them.
And those seven-inch big families, Miao Guangqi and Cao Yusheng, had already done their work well in advance.
Among them, the Tang family and the Zhong family were persuaded by Miao Guangqi. One of the two family owners was his buddy, and the other bought American arms through him.
Miao Guangqi and Cao Yusheng made an agreement with these seven-inch families: if they become nine-inch families, the main branch will move to the country, but the branch family can continue to stay where they are.
So on the whole, the income will not decrease, the power will remain the same, and there will be an additional status of the Nine Inch family.
What's more, after becoming a nine-inch family, they can also undertake hunting business across borders, which is good for both the sharpening of the family inheritance and the improvement of the family's material conditions.
More importantly, since then, I have the backing of the motherland, and I no longer depend on others.
Why not do it
For them, the only trouble with this year's peer alliance ceremony is that there are still too few places for the Jiucun family.
It sounds like nine, but eight were nominated, and there was only one vacant spot.
But after thinking about it, this matter is also very understandable.
Because the Liemen has been around for thousands of years, there are only nine Nine Inch Clans at most, and if there are more, it is really unreasonable.
The boss has done his best.
Besides, among the eight nominated families, the strengths of the inheritance hunters who participated in the battle were different.
If it doesn't work, then fight for it in the threshold offensive and defensive links, there is still a chance, and there are actually more than one places.
Therefore, the Qicun family can generally accept this arrangement.
Besides, even if you are not satisfied, so what
At present, the strongest families of Liemen have already surrounded the chief leader, and they are all closely allied.
If you really want to do it face to face, you will definitely not be able to do it.
So in fact, these things have already been settled in advance, and the tricks are all outside the market.
In addition, Lin Shuo showed such a trick this morning, and now that he speaks out these arrangements, it will be the last trembling, and it is destined not to cause too much resistance.
It's just that it was almost twelve o'clock at the end of noon, and after lunch, people would get together for a meeting in the afternoon. By the time Yang Tuo started his speech, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
Academician Yang spoke steadily for over an hour, and Lin Shuo spoke slowly for another hour.
When Lin Shuo finished speaking, it was a quarter past four in the afternoon.
It would be too late to proceed with the next link at this time, so the meeting was simply adjourned, and other matters will be discussed tomorrow.
…
This evening, in Lin Shuo's residence, there was another large table for dinner.
This time it was a real private banquet. Lin Shuo ate at Yang Tuo's before, and planned to return it tonight.
In the ancestral home of the Su family, all the houses were originally lived in by others, and they all had their own kitchens, and Lin Shuo's house was no exception.
Since it was a real private banquet, the food was not served from the public canteen in charge of Zhou Lingshi, but Lin Shuo's two wives cooked the food themselves.
Anne and Dylan's cooking skills are actually not very good.
But anyway, Yang Tuo is not an outsider in Lin Shuo's eyes, so he simply asked the two wives to practice their cooking skills.
Of course, Lin Shuo himself was not idle. The final dish of this dinner was a whole roasted lamb, and he came in person.
He set up a grill in the yard, set up a pile of charcoal fire under it, Lin Shuo took a cattail fan and fanned it, and the smell attracted Lao Bai who Zhang entered their house.
Recently, Lao Bai spends all day by Zhou Lingshi's side, the food is excellent, and his fur is shiny.
But this white wolf was too big, Lin Shuo was afraid that it would scare Mr. Chen, so he quickly gave it a half-cooked leg of lamb and let it go out to eat.
Not long after Lao Bai left, Yang Tuo came in hurriedly, walking in a hurry.
Lin Shuo raised his eyes and asked, "Hey? Where's Teacher Chen?"
"She'll be here in a while. Let me tell you something first." After Yang Tuo said this, he sat down next to Lin Shuo.
"What's the matter?"
"The General Administration has just received the case, and another village in Shennongjia has disappeared." Yang Tuo said with a sullen face.
The cattail fan in Lin Shuo's hand stopped: "When?"
"It was discovered this morning." Yang Tuo said, "As for when it disappeared, I don't know yet."
Lin Shuo frowned, sighed and said, "It seems that the matter of Shennongjia cannot be delayed any longer. I will leave early tomorrow morning."
"What about the peer alliance ceremony?" Yang Tuo asked.
"Let the mastermind preside over it. Anyway, what I want to say is basically finished." Lin Shuo said, "From now on, just follow the rules. It's almost as good as me."
"But even if you can leave, the other members of the Hunting Gate can't leave, right?" Yang Tuo said, "Hunting evaluation, inheritance tasting, and threshold offense and defense have not yet been carried out."
"Yeah." Lin Shuo nodded, "So this trip, I plan to take Wei Xingshan alone, of course, and Xiao Ba."
"Is this staffing too crude?" Yang Tuo said, "You should bring at least one person who can really help you."
"Who is it?"
"Miao Xueping." Yang Tuo suggested, "Don't forget, she is not only your aunt, but also an inheritance hunter."
Lin Shuo thought for a while, then nodded, "Okay."
