Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Family Revitalization

Chapter 36 Circumstances

The central urban area of ​​the Central China Base.

Extreme Club Building.

Supervisor's office.

Chen Yitong stood by the window, gazing at the tall buildings in the distance, his brows furrowed with worry. The association was about to hold a leadership change, and if nothing unexpected happened, his position would be reassigned. The reason he was able to sit in this position during the last leadership change was not because of his strength, but because he had some connections with the president, who had given him a hand.

No matter how good their relationship is, it's impossible to keep him in a managerial position indefinitely.

After all, there are quite a few high-ranking officers eyeing the supervisor, and he hasn't made any significant contributions to his work in recent years; he's only been mediocre. So it's difficult for him to have any influence with the chairman anymore.

"Ugh."

He sighed deeply, turned around, and sat back in his office chair.

Bang.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open.

Chen Yitong's face showed dissatisfaction. Even if there were rumors that he was leaving, he hadn't left yet, so how could he be so rude!

He looked up to see who it was when a familiar voice rang in his ears, "Old Chen, why are you still sitting there!"

"Ah, President."

Chen Yitong quickly stood up. "There's still some time before the leadership transition, so my sitting here shouldn't have any impact, right?"

Chairman Jiang frowned. "That's not what I meant. I meant the new gene-editing agent!"

"What? A new type of gene therapy?"

Chen Yitong looked puzzled.

Seeing Chen Yitong's expression, Chairman Jiang knew that Chen hadn't received the news yet, and couldn't help but scold him: "Old Chen, what kind of manager are you? You don't even know about such a big thing? Recently, a new type of gene drug has been circulating in Huazhong Base City. I heard that after taking this drug, you can break through to the advanced warrior level in a short time, and there are no side effects."

Chen Yitong glared, "Gene serum can break through to the advanced warrior level? How is that possible? Who spread this rumor?!"

President Jiang frowned. "Several martial artists have personally experienced this, so it shouldn't be fake. But regardless of whether it is or not, you need to call the captain of the Gale Squad right now. He's the one who started this."

Chen Yitong was a little confused; how did this get to Qin Shan?

However, he reacted quickly and immediately remembered Shen Ping, the God of War, from Qin Shan's team. He was instantly alert and quickly dialed Qin Shan's number.

beep……

After connecting.

Without even taking a breath, Chen Yi asked, "Old Qin, do you know anything about the new gene serum?"

Qin Shan laughed and said, "Old Chen, the news has reached your ears. I was just about to tell you in a few days that I'm the one selling that new gene drug."

Seeing the chairman staring at him, Chen Yitong quickly pressed, "You sold them? So, the effects of the new gene serum are real?"

"It is indeed true."

"Old Chen, to be honest with you, the potion is extremely potent. Even high-ranking warriors like us can increase our punching power by 10,000 kilograms in two or three months. If you want to buy it, I'll give you a 50% discount—one billion!"

Qin Shan said.

Not only did Chen Yitong have a good relationship with him, but he was also the manager of the Extreme Club. With his connections and status, giving him a 50% discount was something he had discussed with Shen Ping beforehand.

"How much? Only one billion at half price?!"

Chen Yitong was stunned again after hearing this.

Even with its side effects, the gene serum that can help one break through to the level of a high-ranking warrior is almost as potent as the dragon blood resources of the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy, and dragon blood costs a staggering 80 billion!

After a while.

Communication ended.

Chairman Jiang, who had been listening to the external audio the entire time, had a gleam in his eye. "Old Chen, since you have a good relationship with this Qin Shan, the matter of the new gene serum is entrusted to you. No matter the cost, get me a quota of 500 doses per year!!"

"If you can do that, no one can take this managerial position; it might even be yours next term!"

Chen Yitong seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, his whole body full of energy. However, when he thought of five hundred doses, he said helplessly, "President, if this potion is really as Qin Shan said, the Thunder Martial Arts School, the HR Alliance, the five major powers, and other forces will definitely fight over it after hearing the news. Even if I have a good relationship with Qin Shan, I may not be able to get that many doses. Moreover, the quantity of this kind of gene potion is definitely not large."

The more precious a resource is, the scarcer it is.

Like Dragon Blood, it's controlled by the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, and very little of it is sold each year.

President Jiang knew his request was indeed too high, so he said, "The minimum is one hundred, and it cannot be surpassed by the Thunder Martial Arts School."

After saying that, he disappeared in a flash, not giving Chen Yitong a chance to refute.

See here.

Chen Yitong was speechless. For the sake of his position as supervisor, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to Qin Shan in person.

……

News of the new gene-enhancing drug spread too quickly. After the first round of efficacy results came out, the martial artists who took it told ten people, and a hundred people in between. Everyone was a martial artist, and everyone had a few friends and relatives, so the news couldn't be kept secret at all.

President Jiang of the Limitless Martial Arts Academy will receive it, as will the Thunder Martial Arts Academy, the HR Alliance, the Zheng Family Consortium, and the military.

So, through phone calls and by contacting martial artists they found out, they either called Qin Shan or visited him in person. Although many people guessed that the source behind Qin Shan was likely Shen Ping, none of them went to find Shen Ping immediately.

Since the other party hasn't made it clear, it would be awkward to approach them rashly, unless you have a very good relationship with them.

5 month 10 number.

The sky was overcast, and a light drizzle had started at eight in the morning and continued until noon. Shen Ping left his office and hadn't even reached the restaurant downstairs when his communication watch vibrated.

"Old Shen, I can't take it anymore. Too many people are coming to me. I told them I could only provide fifty guns a month, and those guys cornered me at the entrance of the complex, including War God!"

Qin Shan said with a bitter face, "Only you can step in."

Shen Ping laughed, "Okay, I reckon you'll get some calls soon. Just handle it for now, don't skimp on the fifty a month."

Actually, this number is already quite large, but compared to the huge number of martial artists, it is still in short supply. Every force wants to get as much of a share as possible, after all, one potion represents a high-level warrior, and also means that it is very likely to break through to the God of War!

Hang up the communication.

As he walked toward the restaurant, he opened a virtual window displaying a reward related to the industry. However, the family's evaluation of the reward was not high; it was merely a step forward, and the reward was quite ordinary.

"To achieve a high level of recognition in the industry this year, the industry profits need to exceed 50 billion, or even 100 billion."

Shen Ping speculated in his mind.

Although many martial artists have sought to purchase gene serums these days, most of them have signed contracts for pre-use of the serums, and only a portion of the money has been paid. Overall, the profits generated by the gene serums are not much.

In this regard.

He didn't take it to heart. To make big money from gene-based drugs, the real big orders still depend on various forces around the world.

After finishing the meal.

The communication watch vibrated again.

Shen Ping glanced at it and saw it was an unknown number.

After connecting.

A powerful voice emanated from the watch, "Shen Ping, the God of War? I am Jia Yi from China. You should have heard of me."

Shen Ping perked up and quickly said, "Councilor Jia, I know you."

Jia Yi laughed heartily and continued, "The gene serum was obtained from the ruins of an ancient civilization, wasn't it? On behalf of China, I'd like to cooperate with you. How about a share of two hundred doses of the gene serum per year?"
