Ninth class citizen

Chapter 411 Mission Completed
When the fifteenth experimental machine was built, the entire machine had only two primary secrets left, plus thirty-nine improved basic secrets, which could stably synthesize first-order E-level gene optimizers, with an average daily output of over 2000 vials.

"It still doesn't work." Nan Rong said with a bitter face. Ten months of continuous research and development had almost exhausted her patience and energy, and she would get a headache if she thought about it any longer.

“Only the improved basic runes can be handed over to mechanics of level four or above for engraving, so as to achieve mass production of the machine.” As she spoke, she sat down wearily on the sofa, but the next second she fell into Tian Li’s arms.

For the past ten months, Tian Li must have lost his mind, habitually seizing every opportunity to get close to her, and she couldn't refuse him no matter what. Nan Rong had gotten used to it, so she simply let him gently massage her temples.

“I understand. The last two basic secret texts are crucial and cannot be replaced by basic secret texts under any circumstances,” Tian Li said gently.

“Yeah.” Nan Rong frowned and casually punched him from behind. “The deadline is less than a month away. I guess this is all I can do.”

The crisp, refreshing scent of cedar surrounded her, and she suddenly felt a subtle, tingling sensation that slowly seeped from the depths of her soul, quickly spreading to every corner of her body.

This situation has become increasingly frequent over the past ten months.

Each time, it was after she had intimate contact with Tian Li.

According to one explanation, after spiritual and physical cultivation, couples will naturally resonate with each other. At this point, there's no need to be overly reserved; as long as the cultivation is conducted in moderation, it will be beneficial and harmless to both parties.

But Nan Rong never gave in, even though the other party repeatedly expressed interest in that kind of thing, she remained indifferent.

Although the experience was indeed unforgettable, the aftereffects were equally memorable.

But what distinguishes humans from beasts is their strong self-control. In this respect, someone should be far superior to her, yet he showed absolutely no restraint and repeatedly provoked her.

Could it be that the fire in the old house was unusually rapid?

Nan Rong openly grumbled inwardly, but Tian Li, who heard it clearly, remained calm and composed.

He even had the mood to continue offering her advice and suggestions.

"If this path doesn't work, perhaps we can try to find a solution elsewhere?"

"Other places?" Nan Rong's brain began to work rapidly, gradually ignoring the slight discomfort in her body: "The modifications to the secret text have reached their limit, and the cost-effectiveness of the machine's main alloy material has been reduced to the lowest possible level. The same goes for the carrier material."

Tianli stopped speaking, but smiled and quietly watched her talk to herself.

She herself is the embodiment of the universe's destiny, and with the guidance of divine secrets, how could she possibly fail to solve such a small problem?

As expected, Nan Rong's speech gradually slowed down: "No, we can't just focus on the machine itself. Perhaps there are also those materials."

"Reducing any material to pure, free particles is not easy, which is why at least initial discretization and deconstruction of patterns are necessary. But what if a catalyst that combines the effects of both were added to those materials?"

In the blink of an eye, Nan Rong had mentally sifted through all the materials in the starry sky.

But the truth is, none of them could achieve the effect she wanted.

"So what I need now is a plant material that is not picky about its living environment, is easy to grow, and can also have a disintegrating and deconstructing effect on non-living organisms under specific conditions." Nan Rong said thoughtfully. "You can do it." Tian Li encouraged her at the right time: "As long as you create a completely new life form."

"Yes," Nan Rong murmured, then slipped back into her studio.

At this moment, when she recalled the fragments of memory when Tian Li created the Five Realms Exquisite Stone, she could clearly understand how those advanced runes worked and how they triggered the descent of the rules.

But what she wants to create now is a specific plant that is vigorous, can reproduce and grow in large numbers, and has diverse living conditions.

For ten whole days, the light of various secret rune combinations flickered incessantly, and failed creations were discarded everywhere.

When she finally stepped out of the studio, she was clutching a handful of deep purple herbs bearing strings of bead-like fruits.

"This should be it. Let's call it Purple Pearl Grass." Despite her mental exhaustion, she built the sixteenth experimental machine.

The machine is very large and uses forty-five improved basic codes, all of which can be learned and mastered by experienced builders and repeatedly engraved.

Moreover, these secret documents are all equipped with separate storage compartments, so that any one of them can be replaced at any time if a problem occurs, so as not to affect the overall function of the machine.

The startup test went very smoothly. First-order E-level gene optimizers were being dispensed one after another, and with sufficient materials, the daily output was close to 2,500 vials.

Nan Rong's mission has come to an end. The remaining tasks are to be carried out by the Star Alliance: manufacturing equipment, planting purple pearl grass, collecting large quantities of materials, promoting production, and so on.

The Star Alliance issued a white paper promoting the common evolution of the entire interstellar community. The three governments each allocated substantial funds specifically for improving the quality of their citizens, but there were slight differences:

The Delin Federation and the Mio Empire have announced that they will provide every citizen with a free dose of Tier 1 gene-optimizing agent. This policy will be enshrined in the constitution as a fundamental right of citizens.

Due to tight fiscal revenue, the Kungu Empire sells gene-optimizing agents to all its citizens at cost price.

The cost of the drug under mass production is extremely low. Even including the amortization and maintenance costs of the equipment, the cost of each first-level E-grade gene optimizer is less than 500 Kungu coins, equivalent to 340 Cowen.

Even for the lower classes of the Kungu Empire, this price is something they can actually afford.

As for the Chaotic Starfield, countless merchants have already purchased new gene-optimizing agent synthesis machines through various channels. Although the price of the drugs is much higher than that of the Kungu Empire, the price will eventually come down as time goes by and economies of scale are formed.

"At most five years," Nan Rong said, "most people in this star system will achieve substantial evolutionary advancements."

“I know.” Tianli smiled and looked at her. “You did very well, even better than I expected.”

"So, does that mean I don't have to stay here for the next five years? I want to go back to the Cosmic Heritage Academy and take some further studies."

It was just an excuse. In reality, the more Tian Li interacted with her, the stronger the resonance between their souls became. Tian Li appeared perfectly normal, but she felt weak and powerless whenever she saw him, so she had to find a reason to separate.

“Okay,” Tian Li readily agreed.
