104: Chapter 104 Reservation Number One, Niece

One month later.

At his father-in-law's house.

Jiang Chen was eating with Xue Yao's family.

The news was playing on the television.

[life no. 1 has been proven to have zero side effects by our country's scientists. It is currently being mass-produced by Tianshen Group.]

[According to the person in charge of life no. 1 at Tianshen Group, the current tentative price for this genetic medicine is thirty thousand yuan per bottle.]

[Each person can only make a reservation by logging into the designated page of Tianshen Group's official website using their ID card number.]

[Citizens are encouraged to apply actively.]

Hearing the news, Xue Yao's mother turned and asked.

"This life no. 1 is actually being mass-produced! Old Qin, do you think this thing is useful?"

"You'll have to ask Jiang Chen about that; he participated in this project," Qin Guohua said.

To be honest, even though he was also from the Longke Academy.

He was still half-skeptical about this miraculous life no. 1.

Was there really such a peculiar medicine?

He was a bit worried about side effects.

After all.

The United States' cautionary tale was still right there.

"It's useful, I guarantee it as your son-in-law."

Jiang Chen said.

In front of the two elders, he logged onto the Tianshen Group's official website and applied for the first batch of life no. 1.

Sure enough.

There weren't many people applying.

A few seconds later, the interface showed that Jiang Chen's reservation was successful.

He could go to a designated pharmacy to collect the medicine.

As a Gene Warrior, Xue Yao had seen many medicines, so she applied directly as well: "Mom, Dad, I believe in Jiang Chen!"

"This... we're getting old, how about we wait a bit longer?" Xue Yao's mother said hesitantly.

"Yeah, let's wait a bit," Qin Guohua also said.

"Okay."

Jiang Chen knew the elders were worried about side effects, so he didn't force them.

As this news fermented.

Major online platforms also immediately became lively.

[Holy crap, this thing is actually mass-produced? I thought it would stay in the lab for a few more years.]

[Isn't this too rushed? Are there really no side effects?]

[Representing those who don't dare to apply.]

[And the price is quite expensive, thirty thousand! That's half a month's salary for me.]

[The one upstairs, get lost.]

[Mainly worried about side effects, right? The United States had similar genetic medicines before, didn't they? Many immigrants regretted it.]

[Yeah, although I believe in the country, this thing should still be used with caution. Even if there are no major issues, if you end up with incomplete urination or something... that would be tragic.]

Just as Xia Zhongxun had said.

Most people were a bit hesitant at first.

Ninety-nine percent of people didn't dare to apply.

And this was clearly a normal reaction.

It would take time.

However.

Aside from that, there was also a group of people smearing it.

[If you ask me, this is purely for making money. The United States' genetic medicines have side effects, so your country's definitely will too!]

[Exactly, and the price is too expensive. At 250 yuan a bottle, I might reluctantly try using it.]

[I sell medicine at a pharmacy, and I think this kind of medicine is pure nonsense. Everyone, please don't buy it!]

Jiang Chen looked at these comments online and sighed slightly.

The Academy Director was right; no matter how good something is, it needs time to prove itself.

"Hubby, don't be discouraged. Everyone will eventually discover that this thing has benefits."

Xue Yao walked over to comfort Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen patted her head and smiled gratifiedly.

"I know."

"By the way, how has your... Medical Soldier duty been going lately?"

"Uh... pretty good! It's just that I might have to travel in secrecy from now on."

Xue Yao rested her head on Jiang Chen's chest.

The name Sister Li had already been confirmed.

And she was also on the list of the three main candidates for the Sister Li's commander.

Once she defeated the other two, she would be the commander of the Sister Li aircraft carrier at the launch ceremony!

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow: "Travel in secrecy?"

Wouldn't that be underwater training after joining the Long Palace!

Thinking of this.

A smile spread across the corners of Jiang Chen's mouth.

He imagined that in the future, when he drove his small fishing boat—equipped with ship-borne missiles and capable of extending wings—past her...

She would be so shocked she'd fall into the sea and be about to be eaten by a big shark, and then he would descend from the sky on his small fishing boat... That scene!

"Hiahiahia!"

"Hubby, what are you laughing at? Your mouth is so wide!"

Xue Yao looked up in confusion.

"Cough, it's nothing."

Jiang Chen wiped away his drool.

Just then.

His phone vibrated.

He picked it up to take a look.

[Uncle, there's something I want to ask you.]

ID: Jiang Xiaoran.

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow.

He had grown up in his uncle and aunt's house.

Their son's daughter was named Jiang Xiaoran, which made her his niece.

She called him uncle.

Jiang Chen replied: [What's wrong, Xiaoran?]

Xiaoran was four or five years younger than him.

He remembered that when he was in college, she was only in high school.

Now that he had graduated, she should still be in college.

It was just that she was attending university in another city.

[It's my dad; his health hasn't been great, and he was recently hospitalized. The hospitalization fees alone are over a thousand a day.]

[I saw on the news that there's something called life no. 1. I saw experts say it has great benefits for a person's lifespan, constitution, and strength.]

[I figured the Longke Academy is in your city, so I wanted to ask if many people are buying this thing over there?]

After Jiang Chen finished reading.

He understood.

It turned out his cousin wasn't in good health.

Jiang Xiaoran wanted to try buying a bottle of life no. 1 for her father.

It was just that at thirty thousand a bottle, she was also a bit worried about wasting money.

So after thinking for a long time, she decided to ask around.

However.

As an ordinary person, after thinking for a long time, she only remembered that she had an uncle who was making a living in Zhujiang City.

So she came to inquire.

Jiang Chen immediately replied: [I believe the effects of this thing are real.]

[If you're short on money, tell me, and I'll help you pull it together.]

Jiang Xiaoran: [Did you apply too?]

Jiang Chen: [Of course, Screenshot.jpg!]

Jiang Xiaoran: [Okay uncle, I'll think about it some more.]

Jiang Chen: [Don't think, apply quickly. Transferred 30,000!]

Jiang Xiaoran: [Holy crap, uncle, where did you get so much money? I can't take this!]

Jiang Chen: [Take it! Just consider it my way of showing respect to your grandfather and grandmother.]

Jiang Xiaoran: [Thanks, uncle! By the way, uncle, what are you doing in Zhujiang City now?]

Jiang Xiaoran asked curiously.

She was many years younger than Jiang Chen, and since they went to college in different cities, they hadn't seen each other much over the years.

Jiang Chen would only return during the New Year.

By now, it should have been over a year since he graduated.

But she hadn't heard her parents say what Jiang Chen was doing out there.

Jiang Chen: [Um... fishing, I suppose.]

Jiang Xiaoran: [Fishing at sea? Isn't that very hard and dangerous? A while ago, I think I saw news about some pirates being wiped out by some warship. It was terrifying.]

[With your small fishing boat, it must be very dangerous!!!]

Jiang Chen scratched his head: [It's fine, the pirates don't like me.]
