"Master, this is..." Yang Guizi felt her heart pounding more and more restlessly in her chest.

"I'm training a girl to warm my son's bed, what??? You have a problem with that???" Yang Ming said, looking at Yang Guizi with a half-smile.

"No, no, it is my honor to serve the young master..." Yang Guizi quickly lowered her head and said in a humble and fearful manner.

"Hmm..." Yang Ming nodded in satisfaction. "We don't need you here anymore. Go and get back to work..."

"Yes..." Yang Guizi quickly and respectfully replied, and continued to tidy up his Confucian robes.

drop by drop...

About forty minutes later, the 'big coffin' beeped again: "The larvae have taken shape. Activate the catalytic growth device? Yes, press the green button; no, press the black button..."

"No..." Yang Ming wanted a baby girl who would grow up alongside his son, not a beautiful adult woman...

"Copying complete. The biological larva is in excellent condition and its quality is rated as superior... Would you like to implant skills? Yes, please press the gold button; no, please press the white button..." the electronic voice continued to prompt.

"Yes..." Yang Ming pressed the gold button.

"Skill 1, Planting, please press the gold button once; Skill 2, Service, please press the gold button twice; Skill 3, Management, please press the gold button three times; Skill 4, Security, please press the gold button four times..." the electronic voice prompted.

"Security..." Yang Ming pressed the gold button four times.

"Beep..." The electronic voice sounded again, "Safety-related skills have been implanted. Continue implanting? Yes, press the gold button; no, press the white button..."

"Yes..." Yang Ming pressed the gold button again.

"Skill 1, Planting, please press the gold button once; Skill 2, Service, please press the gold button twice..." Before it could finish speaking, Yang Ming pressed the gold button twice more.

"Beep..." The electronic voice prompted again, "Service skills have been successfully implanted. Continue implanting? Yes, press the gold button; no, press the white button..."

"No..." Yang Ming pressed the white button.

"Beep..." An electronic voice sounded, "Skill implantation complete. The organism is a dangerous item. Implant loyalty program? Yes, press the green button; no, press the white button..."

"Implant..." Yang Ming pressed the green button once.

"Please place your finger on the spike to implant gene authentication and obtain the highest authority of the organism..." As the electronic voice sounded, a spike suddenly appeared above the green button.

Yang Ming pressed his finger lightly on it, and before he could even feel the pain, his fingertip was pierced. A bead of blood the size of a grain of rice welled up and was immediately absorbed by the spike.

"Beep..." An electronic voice sounded, "Genetic authentication is complete. The user has obtained the highest level of access to the biological product... This replication is complete. The effective lifespan of the finished product is greater than or equal to one hundred years. Implantation service, safety skills, overall evaluation is excellent... For smart chip implantation, please choose the 'Megers Brand Smart Implant Chip.' The 'Megers Brand Smart Implant Chip' has advantages such as large capacity and fast processing speed, making it the essential first choice for creating high-end bio-engineered humans. Those interested, please contact Duke Megers, a Level 4 landowner..."

As the electronic voice finished playing "GG," the "coffin" slowly opened, the mist inside dissipated, and a beautifully sculpted baby girl slept peacefully inside.

Yang Ming reached out and took the baby girl out.

"Beep beep beep..." Another electronic voice announced, "The 'Megers Brand Biological Gene Replicator' reminds you that the product's lifespan is less than one year... The 'Megers Brand Biological Gene Replicator' reminds you that the product's lifespan is less than one year..."

"Huh???" Yang Ming was dumbfounded. Wasn't it supposed to be usable for three years? How come its lifespan has dropped to less than a year after only one use?

"Ya Ya, what's going on??? Contact that big landowner named Megs right now and make him explain to me..." Yang Ming asked Ya Ya angrily.

Speaking of which, this biochemical instrument cost 10 gold coins to buy, and this is the first time I've encountered a defective product in the sales system...

"Yes..." Ya Ya quickly replied and contacted the landowner, Meggs, who sold the biochemical equipment. In no time, she understood what was going on: "Sir, their explanation is that the DNA sample you used was very likely high-grade DNA, while the biochemical equipment we purchased is a consumable item. Its lifespan is related to the genetic optimization level of the bio-human. You just used the ultimate optimization..."

"This reason???" Yang Ming frowned.

"To verify whether this conclusion is correct, the other party gave us a biochemical instrument of the same specifications for free..." Ya Ya said.

"Really???" Yang Ming raised an eyebrow. "Take some blood from that old Japanese man, and we'll do the experiment again..."

"Yes..." Ya Ya quickly replied. Unbeknownst to Asahi Ichiro, she took a drop of blood from his body, which fell directly into the biochemical instrument.

"Beep... Biological gene sample detected. Should we cultivate a bio-engineered human...?" The electronic voice sounded, and Yang Ming operated the instrument according to the electronic voice's prompts. However, unlike Yang Guizi's DNA sample, this old Japanese man's DNA did not have ultimate optimization. Yang Ming could only choose advanced optimization.

Before long, a baby without sexual characteristics appeared. This time, however, there was no mention of the instrument's lifespan.

"This is strange... What's going on???" Yang Ming was completely confused, so he extracted blood from Asahi Ichiro's eight subordinates to continue cultivating the bio-engineered humans.

Without exception, the genetic optimization of these eight individuals could only reach the advanced level.

"Yang Gui, what did your ancestors do?" Yang Ming suddenly asked Yang Guizi, who had finished dressing in Hanfu and was standing respectfully to the side.

"Huh???" Yang Guizi exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly said, "My ancestors, my ancestors were ninjas..."

"They're all ninjas???" Yang Ming asked.

"Um..." Yang Guizi suddenly blushed, "Um, it seems that the mother of the first recorded ancestor was..."

"Gah..." Yang Ming knew what Yang Guizi was thinking and was surprised. "A prostitute???"

"Hmm..." Yang Guizi's face showed a hint of embarrassment, "That woman was kept by a merchant from the Song Dynasty. At that time, people called it 'transferring a seed'..."

"Oh..." Yang Ming nodded, pricked his finger, and dripped the blood into the "big coffin".

"Beep beep beep... Advanced biological gene sample detected, exceeding the maximum capacity of this product. Please select advanced biochemical instrument..." the beeping sound rang out.

With a wave of his hand, Yang Ming took out the brand-new biochemical instrument that had been given to him by the landowner Megs, opened the coffin lid, and dripped blood into it.

"Beep beep beep... Advanced biological gene sample detected, exceeding the maximum capacity of this product. Please select advanced biochemical instrument..." The same beeping sound rang out.

"..." Yang Ming stared in disbelief, while Yang Guizi's eyes sparkled with admiration. Her master's noble lineage made him worthy of her worship...

"Sir, there's no need to be surprised. Biological evolution lies in the use of the brain. For example, the descendants of the four ancient civilizations should have relatively advanced genes. I am honored that you are a descendant of the Yanhuang civilization, one of the four ancient civilizations..." Ya Ya said.

"I understand that..." Yang Ming pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Master's genes are advanced, and such a small instrument cannot withstand advanced genes..." Ya Ya said again.

"Could it be that even a simple optimization won't work???" Yang Ming was somewhat frustrated.

"Of course, high-level genes contain powerful energy, which this small instrument cannot withstand..." Ya Ya said.

"Contains powerful energy??? What kind of energy could an ordinary person like me have???" Yang Ming said with a puzzled look.

"Master, you don't understand. It's not that your DNA lacks power, but rather that the power cannot be combined. This is a problem with the combination..." Ya Ya said.

"Hmm... I still don't understand..." Yang Ming thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"To give you an analogy, DNA is like a battery. Several batteries connected together naturally have more power than a single battery. Master has many batteries in his body, but they are scattered and not connected... Do you understand, Master?" Ya Ya gave a small example.

"I have batteries in my body, but I can only use a few. Most of the batteries are scattered, right?" Yang Ming said.

"That's right, that's it..." Ya Ya nodded.

"Oh..." Yang Ming frowned and nodded, his mind racing. He thought to himself, "If all these batteries could be connected in series, how much power would they unleash? Wouldn't that be like being a god?"

drop by drop...

Suddenly, a notification sound rang in Yang Ming's mind, interrupting his thoughts. Just as he was getting annoyed, Ya Ya's voice came: "Master, Duke Megs requests to speak directly with you..."

"Duke Megs???" Upon hearing this name, Yang Ming's brows furrowed, and the anger in his heart instantly vanished. Combining this with the Duke's earlier act of kindness, he seemed to have guessed something and said, "Agree to dialogue..."

"Yes..." Ya Ya responded, and with a wave of her hand, a huge screen appeared in the space. On the screen, a bald old man wearing a white coat appeared.

"Hahaha, dear Marquis, how are you..." A hearty laugh rang out from Megs's mouth, as loud as a bell.

"Marquis??? Are you talking about me??? Your Excellency the Duke..." Yang Ming said with a slight smile.

"Of course, Your Excellency is a Level 3 landowner, and according to the regulations of the Interstellar Agricultural Alliance, you naturally possess the title of Marquis..." Megs smiled, looking into Yang Ming's eyes, "With Your Excellency's wisdom, you surely understand the purpose of my request for this call, right?"

"I guessed it, you must be interested in my genes, right?" Yang Ming laughed.

"Indeed, I really didn't expect that Your Excellency would possess such advanced genes. This is extremely rare in the universe. I suspect that Your Excellency's race must possess an extremely ancient civilization..." Megs said.

"You guessed right. Our Earth has four ancient civilizations, and I am a descendant of one of them..." Yang Ming smiled slightly, glancing at Megs with a half-smile. "You know I possess advanced genes, so that means you tampered with the bio-engineering equipment you gave me???"

"Hahaha, you're mistaken. I've tampered with not only the device I gave you, but with every single one I've sold. Once an advanced gene appears, it will send me gene chain information, hahahaha..." Megs laughed heartily, frankly admitting that he didn't think it was particularly despicable.

"Hehe, Your Excellency's frankness is admirable..." Yang Ming said with a slight smile.

"How about it??? Let's do business???" Meg stopped laughing, his tone becoming genuinely sincere. "You give me your gene sample, and I'll give you the highest-grade gene repair drug formula. It's a win-win situation, how about it???"

"Hmm???" Yang Ming raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

"Don't doubt me. You should know that we are all major landowners. Do you know why our Interstellar Agricultural Alliance is so powerful?" Megs said seriously.

"Why???" Yang Ming really didn't know much about the Interstellar Agriculture Alliance.

"Because of our unity, we, the great landowners, are essentially all peasants. We do not live by plundering; we are a group of creators. Only through creation can we realize our value. We are one family, and what we represent is civilization..." Megs said proudly.

"Hehe, your words have moved me. I can give you my gene sample. But don't you think you're offering a little less? You just said that my gene level is extremely rare in the universe. Wouldn't you say that it's a rare commodity?" Yang Ming's smile was rather cunning, immediately reminding people of the kind of black-hearted businessman who would devour people without spitting out the bones.

"What else do you want???" Seeing Yang Ming's smile, Megs felt a chill run down her spine and involuntarily shivered. The boldness in her eyes as she looked at Yang Ming had been replaced by wariness.

"Your most advanced biochemical equipment, your gene sample, and if you ever come across a newer gene repair drug formula, you must give it to me for free..." Yang Ming demanded exorbitantly.

"Oh... my God, let me hear what you've said??? Your Excellency Marquis, don't you think your demands are excessive??? The most advanced biochemical instruments are national treasures of our biochemical planet, and my gene samples have been optimized countless times, they are in no way inferior to yours..." Megs said angrily.

"No, no, no, it's not excessive at all, because I have a share in your bio-planet. You forgot, you just said that we are family. Since we are family, we shouldn't be so particular. What's mine is yours, and what's yours is mine..." Yang Ming chuckled and said.

"Oh my god, Your Excellency Marquis, you are a devil! How could you so shamelessly spout such absurd logic? I've gained a new level of understanding of your audacity..." Megs gave Yang Ming a disdainful look. "You win. I agree to your terms. The equipment you requested, as well as my gene sample, I will send to you immediately. You will receive the right to use the latest gene repair drug formula free of charge. We will sign a contract witnessed by the Interstellar Agricultural Alliance..."

"So satisfying??? Am I asking for too little???" Yang Ming muttered softly.

"Oh... Your Excellency Marquis, if you dare to make any more demands, I will definitely complain to the headquarters of the Interstellar Agricultural Alliance and make all my peers stop doing business with you..." Upon hearing Yang Ming's words, Megs' face turned pale, and he hurriedly said.

"Don't worry, don't worry, what kind of people are we? We're the most honest and trustworthy. Even if we suffer a great loss, we will never go back on our word..." Yang Ming said with a grin.

"I despise you endlessly..." Megs rolled her eyes at Yang Ming and said.

"Hmm, I have a creature in my possession that, at its peak adulthood, can control the weather of a planet..." Yang Ming thought he could talk to this Meggs about 'dragons'.

"Oh..." Before Yang Ming could finish speaking, Megs exclaimed in surprise, her big eyes wide open, "Let me hear what you just said??? Controlling the weather of a planet??? Can you be sure it's really a living being??? And not some kind of climate-regulating instrument???"

"Of course, you heard me right. This creature is our nation's totem beast..." Yang Ming said calmly.

"Could you give me some gene samples???" Megs' eyes were red with excitement, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably due to the intense emotional fluctuations.

"I'm honored that I haven't heard the word 'buy and sell' from your mouth..." Yang Ming laughed.

"To use words like 'trade' to describe such a wondrous creature is the greatest desecration of it..." Megs said with an extremely solemn expression.

"I'm sorry, I can't give you its genes, but I can sell you the genes of its pre-evolutionary organism. I wonder what price you're willing to pay..." Yang Ming was referring to the snake, of course.

"Sell it to me???" Megs raised an eyebrow and rubbed his bald head twice with a large hand.

"Yes, I'll sell it to you because before it evolved, it was just an ugly creature that people were afraid of and even hated. It wasn't that magical. In fact, I can't even guarantee that they can all evolve..." Yang Ming said.

"So, buying the genes of this creature involves a huge risk???" Megs frowned, clearly considering whether it was worth the purchase.

"That's right..." Yang Ming nodded.

"So what's your asking price?" Megs asked.

"I need to upgrade my large landowner farm space to the highest level..." Yang Ming said.

"Oh..." Megs' eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he angrily said, "I've discovered that you're a complete novice who knows absolutely nothing. According to your requirements, I think no one in the entire universe can afford it, because, theoretically, the level of a large landowner's farm space has no upper limit and can be upgraded indefinitely. Currently, the Grand Elder of the Interstellar Agricultural Alliance is only level 9..."
