Days passed by.
Mid-March.
The weather in Hua Zhong Base City became warmer, and the willow trees planted along the roads in the community sprouted tender buds, with the air flowing with the essence of spring.
Villa living room.
Shen Ping's family sat at the dining table, eating breakfast. His son, Shen Yu, who was almost three years old, was spooning rice porridge into his mouth, splashing it onto his collar, which made his mother-in-law rush to get a towel to wipe him.
"Mom, let him do it himself. Don't spoil him too much."
His wife said, then looked at Su Yin beside her, and seeing her frown, she asked, "Xiao Yin, why aren't you eating?"
Su Yin replied, "I don't know why, but I've had no appetite since last night and have been feeling nauseous."
Shen Ping subconsciously said, "Did you catch a cold last night? Let's go to the hospital to check it out later."
Li Yuewei's expression subtly changed upon hearing this, and she whispered a few words into her ear.
Su Yin's face turned red, and she nodded.
Li Yuewei immediately said, "Then it seems you are pregnant. I'll accompany you to the hospital for a check-up after breakfast. It should be correct."
As she spoke, she didn't forget to glance at Shen Ping, as if to say that his efforts every night during this period were not in vain.
Just as Shen Ping was about to speak, his communication wristband vibrated.
It was Captain Qin Shan.
He put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up, and walked outside.
"Lao Shen, the genetic potion's effect is excellent. In less than two months, Mu Yang and Qiang Zi's physical fitness has surpassed the intermediate warlord level. At this rate of improvement, they will reach Advanced Warlord in two or three more months at most!"
Qin Shan lowered his voice, "I think we can release the news now. Many of the warrior teams we have good relationships with have members like Qiang Zi who basically have no potential. If we let them use the genetic potion, the news will spread from their mouths in just two months."
Shen Ping's face showed joy, but he still asked, "Is the effect that obvious?"
Although he was confident in the items rewarded by his family, he hadn't experienced them personally, and the description stated reaching Advanced Warlord within a year.
Qin Shan couldn't help but say excitedly, "More than obvious! For Mu Yang and Zhou Qiang, they usually gain only a few hundred kilograms in punching power from a month of hard training and fighting in the Wilderness Area, and that's when things are good. But do you know how much they've improved during this time... a full ten thousand kilograms!"
"What? Ten thousand kilograms in punching power increase?!"
Shen Ping's eyes widened.
He originally thought that the Advanced Warlord level boosted by the genetic potion was only the lowest standard, but now, judging from the growth rate of his team members, it was clearly the highest standard!
You know.
Even among Advanced Warlords, there is a significant difference between the ordinary standard and the highest standard.
Hoo.
Inhale.
He couldn't help but take a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart. If this was the case, the value of the C-grade Genetic Potion could be estimated even higher, because this was an improvement close to a God of War. If used on warriors with excellent potential, it would definitely allow them to break through to God of War after using the genetic potion!
"Captain, release the news!"
"As for the price of the potion, the ordinary genetic potion is 200 million chinese yuan, and the C-grade Genetic Potion... is 2 billion!"
Qin Shan hurriedly said, "Lao Shen, isn't this price too low?"
Among the major Global powers, even a God of War warrior who doesn't hunt in the Wilderness Area, but merely holds a title, earns an annual salary of around 5 billion. An Advanced Warlord, close to a God of War, can easily earn over 3 billion a year, simply by making a few more trips to the Wilderness Area.
Now, the effect of the C-grade Genetic Potion is almost equivalent to giving a warrior the hope of becoming a God of War, yet it only sells for 2 billion. In Qin Shan's opinion, it's too low. For example, the warrior secret techniques and guiding arts sold by the House of Extremes are meant for cultivation and breakthrough, but even after practicing, one may not necessarily break through to God of War. Yet, even so, these secret techniques dare to sell for billions.
Shen Ping said, "2 billion is enough. Don't forget, this genetic potion is mainly for warlord-level warriors. If it's too high, they won't be able to afford it and will have to borrow or take out bank loans. Besides, Captain, the most important thing for the potion is to open up the market and expand our network."
"As long as the potion's effects are thoroughly spread, more and more people will want to buy it in the future."
Qin Shan heard the ambition in Shen Ping's words and smiled, "Alright, we'll do as you say. Oh, and for Mu Yang and Qiang Zi's portions of the potion, let's defer payment for now. They'll pay you back when they earn money later."
Even among brothers, accounts should be settled clearly.
It involved 2 billion chinese yuan.
Even if Shen Ping was willing to give it for free, Mu Yang and Zhou Qiang wouldn't accept it.
"Captain, for our team, it's an internal price. Half price will do."
Ending the communication.
Shen Ping's eyes gleamed with excitement. The genetic potion's effect was unexpected, and he might be able to use it to try and strengthen his foundational development. The reason why the core financial families of the HR Alliance, as well as the two major martial arts academies, Extreme and Thunder, were able to establish such vast power, attracting warriors from all over the Global, even surpassing the state, was because they controlled monopolized resources.
...
Approaching noon.
Li Yuewei returned from the hospital with Su Yin, and as soon as she entered the door, she said with a smile, "Husband, good news, Xiao Yin is confirmed pregnant."
Shen Ping quickly stepped forward to support Su Yin, "That's great! You don't have to go to the company. From now on, you should rest well at home."
Su Yin shook her head repeatedly, "I just got pregnant. Going to work at the company won't be an issue."
Li Yuewei said, "How can that be? You are now the priority care in our family."
Shen Ping continued, "Xiao Yin, listen to your cousin."
After speaking.
He pondered for a moment and then said, "The Lishui District Villa has been empty for some time. Now that Xiao Yin is pregnant, after she gives birth, there will be more people in the family. I think we should move there as soon as possible. Also, we need to hire some people to help out."
The two children at home could still be looked after by his wife's parents, but if there were one or two more, they would inevitably be overwhelmed and unable to provide adequate care.
Li Yuewei hummed, "Okay, by the end of March then."
The moving arrangements were finalized.
After Su Yin returned to her room to rest, his wife whispered, "Husband, when do you plan to hold the wedding with Xiao Yin?"
Shen Ping thought for a moment, "After we move, we'll go abroad."
China practices monogamy. Although with his status, even if he were to marry, the government wouldn't say anything, it's better to avoid such matters if possible. Moreover, going abroad would be a good thing for Xiao Yin, at least she wouldn wouldn't be gossiped about.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
Shen Ping, who had lived in Nanyuan Community for a long time, finished packing all the furniture. He looked back at the villa, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes, but for the future development of the family, no matter how much affection he had, he had to leave.
When the warriors and their families in the community heard the news, many came to see them off, as Shen Ping still had a considerable reputation in the community.
"You're going to the Lishui District Villa? That place is huge."
"Your Lao Shen has really made a name for himself, unlike our family, who are still just instructors."
His wife, Li Yuewei, chatted with the neighbors until noon, when they finally drove away from Nanyuan Community.
Over the next two months, after handling his wedding with Su Yin, Shen Ping became busy again, while also waiting for the reaction to the news of the genetic potion spreading.
