Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Family Revitalization

Chapter 34 The Powerful Effects of the Potion

The days passed by.

mid March.

The weather in the central China base city is getting warmer, and the willows planted along the roads in the community are sprouting tender buds, with spring in the air.

The living room of the villa.

The Shen family was having breakfast at the table. Their son, Shen Yu, who was almost three years old, kept stuffing rice porridge into his mouth with a soup spoon. The porridge splashed out and wet his collar, prompting his mother-in-law to rush to get a towel to wipe it off.

"Mom, let him do it himself, don't spoil him too much."

The wife said something, then looked at Su Yin beside her. Seeing her frowning, she asked, "Xiao Yin, why aren't you eating?"

Su Yin replied, "I don't know why, but I didn't have an appetite last night and felt nauseous the whole time."

Shen Ping subconsciously said, "Did you catch a cold at night? Let's go to the hospital to get it checked out later."

Li Yuewei's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and she whispered a few words in his ear.

Su Yin blushed and nodded.

Li Yuewei immediately said, "Then it seems you are pregnant. I'll go with you to the hospital for a checkup after dinner. It should be fine."

As she spoke, she glanced at Shen Ping, as if to say that her hard work every night had paid off.

Just as Shen Ping was about to speak, his communication watch vibrated.

It's Captain Qin Shan.

He put down his chopsticks, got up, and went outside.

"Old Shen, the gene serum is working exceptionally well. In less than two months, Mu Yang and Qiang Zi's physical abilities have already surpassed the level of a mid-tier warrior. At this rate of improvement, they should reach the level of a high-tier warrior in another two or three months at most!"

Qin Shan lowered his voice, "I think we can release the news now. Many of the martial arts teams that have a good relationship with us have members like Qiangzi who have little potential. If we let them use gene serum, the news will spread from their mouths in just two months."

Shen Ping's face lit up with delight, but he still asked, "Is the effect that obvious?"

Although he was confident in the items rewarded by the family, he had never experienced them firsthand, and the description said that he could reach the level of a high-level warrior within a year.

Qin Shan couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "It's not just obvious! For Mu Yang and Zhou Qiang, normally after a month of hard training and fighting in the wilderness, they only increase their punching power by a few hundred kilograms, and that's under good circumstances. But do you know how much they've increased it during this period... a full ten thousand kilograms!"

"What?! A 10,000-kilogram increase in punching power?!"

Shen Ping's eyes widened.

He originally thought that the advanced warriors enhanced by the gene serum were only at the lowest level, but now, judging from the growth rate of the team members, they are clearly at the highest level!

To know.

Even among high-level warriors, there is a significant difference between ordinary and top-level abilities.

call.

suck.

He couldn't help but take a deep breath to suppress his shock. If that was the case, then the value of the C-grade gene serum could be estimated even higher, because it was close to the level of a War God. If it were used on those martial artists with outstanding potential, they could definitely break through to the level of a War God after using the gene serum!

"Captain, release the news!"

"As for the price of the drugs, a regular gene-enhancing drug costs 20 million Chinese yuan, while a Grade C gene-enhancing drug... costs 2 billion!"

Qin Shan hurriedly said, "Old Shen, isn't this price too low?"

Among the major powers around the world, even if a War God Warrior doesn't hunt in the wilderness, just by having a title, he would receive an annual salary of around 5 billion. And it wouldn't be difficult for a high-level War General who is close to the War God to earn more than 3 billion a year, simply by making a few more trips to the wilderness.

The effects of C-grade gene serums are now almost equivalent to giving a martial artist hope of becoming a War God. They are priced at only 2 billion, which Qin Shan considers too low. Martial arts manuals and guiding techniques sold by Extreme House are meant for cultivation and breakthroughs, but even after cultivation, one may not necessarily break through to the War God level. Yet, even so, these manuals dare to sell for billions.

Shen Ping said, "Two billion is enough. Don't forget, this gene serum is mainly for warriors at the general level. If it's too expensive, they can't afford it and will have to borrow money or take out a bank loan. Besides, Captain, the most important thing about the serum is opening up the market and building connections."

"Once word gets out about the potion's effectiveness, more and more people will want to buy it."

Qin Shan sensed the ambition in Shen Ping's words, so he smiled and said, "Alright, we'll do as you say. By the way, we'll owe Mu Yang and Qiang Zi their doses of medicine for now. We'll give them to you when they make money later."

Even close brothers should keep clear accounts.

It involves two billion yuan.

Even if Shen Ping were willing to give it to them for free, Mu Yang and Zhou Qiang wouldn't accept it.

"Captain, our team has an internal discount, so half price will do."

End communication.

Excitement gleamed in Shen Ping's eyes. The effects of the gene serum were beyond his expectations. He might be able to use it to try to improve his foundation. The core financial group family of the HR Alliance, as well as the two martial arts schools, Limit and Thunder, were able to build up a huge force and attract martial artists from all over the world, even surpassing countries, because of the monopolistic resources they controlled.

……

It was almost noon.

Li Yuewei brought Su Yin back from the hospital, and as soon as she entered the door, she said with a smile, "Honey, good news! Xiaoyin is confirmed to be pregnant."

Shen Ping quickly stepped forward to help Su Yin up, "That's great, you don't need to go to the company anymore, just stay home and take good care of yourself."

Su Yin shook her head repeatedly, "I'm only newly pregnant, it's fine for me to go to work."

Li Yuewei said, "How can that be? You're the one we're taking special care of right now."

Shen Ping continued, "Xiao Yin, listen to your cousin."

Done.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "The villa in Lishui District has been empty for a while now. Xiaoyin is pregnant, and there will be more people in the family after she gives birth. I think we should move there as soon as possible. We also need to hire some people to take care of her."

With two children, the wife and parents can take care of them, but if there are one or two more, they will inevitably be overwhelmed and unable to provide adequate care.

Li Yuewei nodded, "Okay, let's make it to the end of March."

The move has been finalized.

After Su Yin returned to her room to rest, her wife whispered, "Honey, when are you planning to hold your wedding with Xiao Yin?"

Shen Ping thought for a moment: "I'll go abroad after I move."

China practices monogamy. Even though, given his status and position, the government wouldn't say anything if he wanted to get married, it's still best to avoid such things if possible. Besides, going abroad would be a good thing for Xiaoyin, at least she wouldn't be gossiped about.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Shen Ping, who had lived in Nanyuan Community for a long time, finished packing up all the furniture and looked back at the villa with a hint of reluctance in his eyes. However, for the sake of the family's future development, he had to leave no matter how much he cared.

When the martial artists and their families in the community heard the news, many came to see him off, since Shen Ping was quite well-known in the community.

"We're going to a villa in Lishui District, huh? That place is huge."

"Your husband, Lao Shen, has really made something of himself, unlike ours, who's still stuck as a drill instructor."

Li Yuewei, the wife, chatted with the neighbors until noon before they drove away from Nanyuan Community.

Over the next two months, after finishing his wedding with Su Yin, Shen Ping became busy again, while waiting for the reaction to the news about the gene serum.
