Alice, how is Edward Vuitton doing? Is he still okay with the new environment?


He is doing very well in Base No.1, master. He is spending almost all day every day in the ‘Supreme Laboratory’ uncovering the truth.


He’s the only player in the ‘Supreme Laboratory’ as of now?


Yes. He’s the only one for the time being.

Chen Jin shook his head,
I hope that the last level of this game will not remain as Edward Vuitton’s solo game. Some inspirations are engendered by communication. There should be a group of players in the Supreme Laboratory so that it includes all kinds of geniuses.




That will happen, master. There are plenty of high-level players. The Supreme Laboratory will become dynamic very soon.

Besides, it was not only in the ‘game’. In reality, once the high-value scientists got old, or when their health dwindled and their life was endangered, Xing Hai Hospital would lend a helping hand and provide them with life-prolonging medical services free of charge. The premise was that one would have to go the Xing Hai Hospital in the Desert Transformation Zone located in the western provinces to receive the superior treatment.
Base No.1 was located not far from the Xing Hai Hospital.
For the scientists who regained their vitality and youthfulness after receiving treatment, it was believed that they would never want to leave Base 1 even if they just had a brief look around. They would have found the place that shone in their hearts. More and more well-known scientists would mysteriously disappear into the Desert Transformation Zone in the northwest.
This was also the effect Chen Jin wished to attain.
…

Daddy, daddy!

Chen Jin felt someone pulling his pants and heard a childish voice.
He removed the virtual helmet and looked down. Her daughter, Chen Xing Yue, who was almost five was looking at him with her beautiful eyes.
I want to play games! Gimme the helmet.

She pointed at the helmet Chen Jin was holding.



Uhm. Alright…

Chen Jin handed over the helmet but then immediately took it back.
Before I give it to you, come give daddy a kiss.
He put his face in front of her.

Mwah!
Chen Xing Yue swiftly pecked him on the cheek and grabbed the helmet.

Hubby, don’t let her play too many games. She’s still so young. It might affect her learning.

Su Yun came towards him holding a child in her hands and rebuked him.
You really dote on your daughters too much. What if you spoil them?


Aren’t daughters supposed to be spoiled?

Chen Jin smiled as he took his youngest daughter from Su Yun. He kissed the cheeks of his one-year-old daughter a few times and teased her.
In five years of marriage, Su Yun had born him two daughters. The elder one, Chen Xing Yue, was almost five, and the youngest, Chen Xiao Yue, was now 14 months old.
A couple and two daughters. This family composition was the one with the highest happiness index among the six family combinations. Chen Jin was absolutely satisfied and even considered it a dream come true. He lived every day with his happiness index of the scale.
Girls were generally more sensible than boys. They matured earlier, were more filial when they grew older, and were the apple of their parent’s eyes. Chen Jin was especially fond of his mischievous eldest daughter. He would often play with her, and together get lectured by his wife for it. For that reason, his mother often mocked him for being a
big child
. His younger daughter Chen Xiao Yue would also become very cute as she grew older.


In private, Su Yun often gave him a worried look. She felt very anxious.

Hubby, I wished for our second child to be a boy. Why is it a girl again? I…

She blamed her body for not living up to her expectations. In fact, she was not the kind of person who had a traditional mindset. For her, a son or a daughter were the same, but considering her husband’s colossal possessions, would two daughters really be enough to fill the bill?

Two daughters are excellent honey.

Chen Jin patted her shoulders.
Male and female have equal rights,
he said.
A girl or a boy is totally the same. If we raise them properly, they can inherit my company in the future, and if our sons-in-law are willing to take our surname, it will almost be the same as having sons.


But it will still be better for us to have a son. We should play it safe,
his wife said while frowning.

It’s the same, honey. Whether it is safe or not all depends on chance in the end. They might grow up to be excellent, or they might become wastrels. It’s fifty-fifty.


No! We must have another! Our third child will be a boy! My parents also had two daughters before having Little Peng. Our third child will not be another girl,
said the woman. She grabbed Chen Jin’s arms as if she was possessed.

You’d better forget it. You’re not the kind of woman who can get pregnant easily. Let’s not talk about Yue Yue. Did you forget how hard it was to get Mini Yue out? Besides, you and I are both 35. The chance of you getting pregnant is now even lower. A cesarean section will really hurt your body. We’d better not risk it.

Chen Jin shook his head.


Su Yun’s eyes dimmed. She bit her lip as she felt bitter on the inside. Chen Jin could only continue to comfort her and try to dispel her concerns.
The truth was that Chen Jin was not at all worried. He even thought that he was somewhat being played with by fate. Over the years, his wife had given him two daughters and showered him in infinite blissfulness. Meanwhile, Yuan Li had three boys one after another. Their names were Chen Bufan, Chen Feiyu, and Chen Yuanchao.
After Chiu Wanting from Forever Jewels applied for retirement, Guo Yan took her place as the store manager. Under her care, the jewelry store was well organized. She had also conducted some reforms that significantly improved the revenue generated by the jewelry store. It could be said that she was wholly devoted, and Chen Jin was very confident in her. But for unknown reasons, Guo Yan was already in her thirties and yet she had not married. She didn’t even have plans to look for a partner. Additionally, she had depleted all her assets and severed her ties with her family. She had been on her own since. The jewelry store became her home and she never returned to her hometown ever again. In spite of that, she felt content. Chen Jin knew the reason behind her persistence and felt pity for her. Hence, after they opened their hearts to each other, Chen Jin took her in.
A year later, Guo Yan gave birth to a boy who was later named Chen Xinghang and this gave her a family.
In total, he had four sons and two daughters. Chen Jin thought that this was absolutely enough.
Moreover, his sons were all away from him while his daughters were all by his side. Chen Jin was unaware whether the heavens had willed things to be so, but he thought that it was okay anyway.
With the assistance of his avatar robot and his mother, he could just about cope with such a complicated family.

Actually, I don’t like myself being this way. But when you have a huge interest and wish to grasp it firmly, you will do something that is involuntarily, and opt for the ‘correct’ choices. In terms of morality, you might become riddled with a thousand holes, but interest wise, you are basically well secured and fortified. All your worries about the future will be cleared…


Perhaps that, after I settle things on earth, I can go stay at Planet Haierfa for the long- term, excavating a brand-new future and welcoming brand new challenges.

…


Later that night, in the virtual world.
Alice reported,
Master, the construction of our first Interstellar battleship has been completed. We now officially have a more reliable military defense capability.


Good!

Chen Jin nodded and said,
Take me to the dock right now.
