In the living room.
The large TV screen was broadcasting some recent important events in China, most of which were scenes of the Chinese military achieving overwhelming victories in battles against monsters. Every night around 7 PM, these broadcasts would air nationwide, for propaganda purposes, to inspire and boost morale.
Su Yin, dressed in a pink casual outfit, was sitting on the sofa, playing with her child while occasionally glancing at the screen.
Hearing footsteps on the stairs,
she turned her gaze, saw Shen Ping approaching, and quickly stood up, calling out somewhat unaccustomed, "Hubby, hubby, are you done with your cultivation?"
Shen Ping nodded, walked to the sofa, gently stroked the child's cheek, then had the maid nearby take the child away to care for.
He then sat down to Su Yin's left, pulled her into an embrace, and asked with concern, "How have you been feeling lately?"
Su Yin's cheeks flushed slightly, and she instinctively touched her belly, replying, "The doctor said I'm very well. It's, it's just that even, even intimacy is fine. It's all thanks to your medicinal wine, hubby."
Ever since the rewards of essence of vegetation became more frequent, he would take out one or two portions to continue brewing into medicinal wine, letting his wife and Su Yin drink it together. This type of medicinal wine had a mild effect and could continuously improve their physical constitution.
Shen Ping felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this. During this period, he had focused entirely on cultivation, neglecting other aspects, let alone enjoying the pleasures of intimacy with his wife. But thinking of the child developing in Su Yin's womb, he still suppressed that thought.
"No rush. After you give birth, I'll spend good time with you."
He kissed Su Yin's forehead and whispered, "Of course, Xiao Yin, if you really can't hold back, we can do it gently once tonight."
Su Yin's small, rounded earlobes quickly turned red. She bit her lip and slowly nodded. Having tasted the pleasure, she hadn't been with Shen Ping for long and still harbored a strong desire for that aspect.
While they were whispering,
Li Yuewei returned home from work at the company.
Seeing Shen Ping and Su Yin nestled together, she smiled indifferently, stretched, and said, "I'm exhausted. The company has so many things lately. I'll have to hire a few more secretaries. With only Xiao Lin, it's really too much to handle."
Upon hearing this,
Shen Ping mused, "We really do need to hire a few more. I'll add two to my office as well. When I'm not around, you can use them incidentally."
"Alright."
Li Yuewei replied, picked up a washed apple from the coffee table, took a couple of bites, and then continued, "Oh, by the way, hubby, Captain Qin has come to the company to look for you several times, and the head of the Zheng family has also been frequently visiting our company recently. It should be about the potions."
As Pingwei Materials Company signed contracts with several major forces, the matter of the genetic potions spread throughout Hua Zhong Base City and the War God Palace. Not only did domestic financial groups and families come knocking, but even other Gods of War from the War God Palace also wanted to call Shen Ping. Unfortunately, Shen Ping's communication was unreachable these days, and he couldn't even be found at the company.
"I'll go to the company in a few days to handle some matters."
Shen Ping estimated that Qin Shan's stock of potions had probably run out by now, and it was time to start making more potions. This would also be a good opportunity to test the effects of the newly rewarded S-Rank Gene Serum.
After chatting for a while,
the villa's servants began bringing out the prepared dishes one by one.
During dinner,
Li Yuewei continued talking about company matters. These days, Pingwei Materials Company's reputation was growing in Hua Zhong Base City, and many executives from various industries wanted to discuss cooperation. Most of them were after connections, not purely business.
As Shen Ping listened silently, he was calculating his future development.
The company's industry profits had reached over one trillion chinese yuan this time, and it would be very difficult for them to surge again in a short period. Even if the S-Rank Gene Serum could allow Advanced Warlord martial artists to break through to God of War, he didn't plan to sell it publicly. After all, the C-grade Genetic Potion was enough for the Global market to digest for quite some time.
Therefore, to continue receiving rewards in terms of industry, development must be sought at the foundation.
"My body's genetic primal energy is not far from breaking through to the second stage. According to the improvement speed in the gravity room, I can break through in at most four or five days. By then, with the ninth level of 'Ninefold Thunder Blade,' and the artistic conception level of my blade technique and movement technique, I should be able to join the ranks of first-class council members… That's enough to establish a force!"
Establishing a force isn't just about having strength; it also requires resources. Otherwise, the members of the subordinate force would have no cohesion. Why are the Dojo of Limits and Thunder Martial Hall so popular among martial artists? On one hand, it's due to the strength and prestige of the Global's first and second strongest individuals, and on the other hand, it's the resources they control.
If he didn't have the potion formula, Shen Ping wouldn't be in such a hurry to establish a foundational force. But now that he has monopolized resources and possesses strength himself, there's no need to train martial artists for other forces.
On the morning of June 5th,
Shen Ping arrived at the company's biopharmaceutical department.
The Raging Wind Squad members were all there.
Seeing Shen Ping,
they all stood up to greet him.
"Lao Shen."
"Shen Ge."
Captain Qin Shan said, "These are our squad's new members. I brought them here today to gain some experience and to buy two ordinary genetic potions for them."
Ordinary genetic potions could allow martial artists to break through to Warlord within a few months, even approaching the level of a Mid-level Warlord, saving Li Yichen and Xue Jin a lot of time in training and improvement.
Shen Ping laughed heartily, "We're all family. Just take two directly later."
Qin Shan glanced at the two new members.
Li Yichen and Xue Jin quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Shen Ge."
Shen Ping waved his hand, then looked at Mu Yang and Zhou Qiang, "How are you two doing? Have you become Advanced Warlords?"
Mu Yang chuckled, "Thanks to Shen Ge, I reached Advanced Warlord ten days ago."
At this moment, Qin Shan's palm pressed firmly on Mu Yang's shoulder. "This guy got lucky. He's already an Advanced Warlord at such a young age. Breaking through to God of War in the future won't be difficult."
Mu Yang's face was filled with excitement, "Captain, please don't praise me. Compared to Shen Ge, I'm nothing."
"Go on, go on."
"You still want to compare yourself to Lao Shen!"
Zhou Qiang rolled his eyes.
Qin Shan smiled, "Alright, stop chattering. Qiang Zi, you guys go take a tour of the company building. Lao Shen and I still have things to discuss."
Mu Yang, Zhou Qiang, and the other two tactfully left.
Only then did Qin Shan say, "Lao Shen, the matters you asked me to handle last time are all done. Regarding the security of Pingwei Materials Company, I found a few retired Mid-level Warlord martial artists. Also, I plan to have Yu Tai serve as the captain of this security team."
Yu Tai was another member of their squad who had broken his leg during the attack in the Wilderness Area. Although he had a prosthetic limb installed, his strength was not as good as before. But now with the genetic potion, even with a broken leg, his strength could reach the level of a typical Advanced Warlord.
"I'll pay for his potion first."
Shen Ping glared at Qin Shan, "Captain, aren't you burying me? Besides, Lao Yu's temper is more stubborn than a donkey. If he knew you paid for it, he probably wouldn't come to me even if you beat him to death."
Qin Shan said helplessly, "That's true. Forget it, we'll just explain it clearly to him then."
As they spoke, they arrived at the top floor of the company.
Access here was restricted.
Shen Ping turned and went into a room, then took out the prepared potions from his spatial wristband. "Captain, this is for the next month. Besides that, there's also a more advanced potion that can allow an Advanced Warlord to break through to a Mid-level God of War. You should take it first."
"Don't rush to refuse, Captain. Once you break through to God of War, you'll be able to continue helping me."
