Super Rich: Starting the game by going back ten years to buy Bitcoin

After leaving the Shanghai Military Region, Li Yichen returned to the Future Technology Building.

After entering the company, Li Yichen strode into the private elevator. He pressed the button for the 62nd floor. The elevator doors closed, and the numbers rapidly increased.

Stepping out of the elevator and passing through three airtight doors that verify iris scans, Li Yichen returned to the top-secret laboratory.

The silver-white incubator on the control panel had its lid open, letting out cold air. Inside, five pale blue glass tubes lay quietly.

Li Yichen pulled up a swivel chair and sat down, taking out his phone. He opened WeChat and added Ji Yanran, Liu Xiaoyu, Xiao Yuqing, Xue Shanshan, and Liu Xue to a newly created group chat.

I didn't even change the group name, I just sent the message.

"Hurry up, you all have half an hour to get to the top-secret laboratory on the 62nd floor of the Future Technology Building. There's a big perk coming. Don't miss out!"

After sending the message, he tossed his phone on the table, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes to rest.

Fifteen minutes later.

The sound of high heels clicking on the alloy floor echoed down the corridor, a rapid, energetic clatter.

The laboratory door was pushed open forcefully.

Ji Yanran was dressed in a well-tailored business suit, holding an uncapped pen in her hand. She strode over to the workbench.

"Boss Li," Ji Yanran slammed her pen on the table with a sharp crack, "I have billions of dollars worth of overseas procurement contracts waiting to be signed on my desk. You'd better have something really important to discuss with me. Otherwise, I'll deduct your commission."

Li Yichen didn't even lift his eyelids, pointing to the chair next to him: "Sit and wait. Not everyone is here yet."

Ji Yanran had just pulled out the chair.

A furry head peeked in from outside the door.

Xue Shanshan was wearing a futuristic, low-level employee uniform with a name tag around her neck. As soon as she peeked out, she spotted Ji Yanran sitting inside.

Xue Shanshan shrank her neck and stopped abruptly in her tracks.

"Hello, Mr. Ji." Xue Shanshan forced herself to move through the door, her hands tightly clasped in front of her, her voice barely louder than a mosquito's buzz.

A CEO of a conglomerate worth hundreds of billions, exuding an aura of authority. A lowly employee still working at the grassroots level.

Xue Shanshan wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground, her toes digging themselves into her sneakers.

Ji Yanran looked Xue Shanshan up and down, nodded to her, and said without putting on airs, "Find a place to sit."

Xue Shanshan quickly pressed herself against the wall, found the furthest round stool to sit on, placed her hands on her knees, and behaved as obediently as a primary school student.

A few minutes later, the sound of conversation could be heard in the corridor.

Liu Xiaoyu and Xiao Yuqing walked in together. The two had just arranged to go shopping today, and they were carrying several shopping bags.

"Brother Li, why did you call us over?" Liu Xiaoyu put the shopping bags on the ground and went straight to Li Yichen's side.

Liu Xue was the last to enter.

She was wearing a long khaki trench coat, sunglasses that covered half her face, and a mask. Only after entering through the airtight door did she take off the sunglasses and mask and put them in her pocket.

Everyone's here.

Five top beauties, each with a distinctly different aura, stand in the same space.

The scents of high-end perfumes mingled and intertwined in the laboratory. The air grew somewhat thick, and a subtle, tense atmosphere began to spread.

Ji Yanran crossed her arms and scanned the entire room like a radar.

Seeing Xue Shanshan, she could understand. Seeing Liu Xiaoyu and Xiao Yuqing, she could also understand; after all, all three were the boss's young girlfriends.

But her gaze stopped when it fell on Liu Xue's face.

Ji Yanran slightly raised her chin, narrowed her beautiful eyes, and directly pointed at Liu Xue to launch an attack.

"Boss," Ji Yanran turned to look at Li Yichen, emphasizing her words, "I completely understand that Xiaoyu, Yuqing, and Shanshan are here. But how come President Liu of Liu's Pharmaceuticals also received your internal notification?"

She took half a step forward, her demeanor intimidating: "When did you two become so close? You even let her into this top-secret floor so easily?"

When Liu Xue was called out in public, her usually cold and aloof face flushed red to her ears. Normally decisive and ruthless in the business world, she now resembled a little girl who had done something wrong, head bowed, fingers tightly gripping the hem of her trench coat, refusing to meet Ji Yanran's gaze.

Li Yichen had an extremely thick skin and didn't feel embarrassed at all.

He laughed, stood up, walked directly to Liu Xue, and put his arm around her shoulder.

"Let me introduce you," Li Yichen said frankly, making no attempt to hide anything. "Liu Xue is now part of our family."

These words were spoken.

There was a two-second silence in the lab.

Ji Yanran rolled her eyes, snorted, and turned her head away.

Xiao Yuqing pouted and muttered under her breath, "What a womanizer."

Liu Xiaoyu glared at Li Yichen and cursed, "Heart thief."

Only Xue Shanshan huddled in the corner, head down, chuckling to herself, her shoulders swaying.

Liu Xue blushed even more as Li Yichen put his arm around her, but she straightened her back considerably and nodded slightly to the other four women as a greeting.

The joke is over.

Li Yichen tapped the metal tabletop, producing a crisp clanging sound.

"Alright, let's get down to business."

He drew the attention of the five women back to the silvery-white incubator.

Li Yichen pulled out a glass tube and held it in mid-air. The pale blue liquid inside the tube shimmered with a mesmerizing fluorescent glow under the operating lights.

"What is this? A new type of skincare product?" Liu Xiaoyu asked curiously as she leaned closer.

"It works better than skincare products." Li Yichen's playful smile vanished. "This is a gene evolution potion."

He explained the principle of breaking the shackles of carbon-based life in the simplest terms.

"After this injection, the number of times your cells divide will no longer be limited. Your lifespan, conservatively estimated, can be extended to three to five hundred years. Bone and muscle density will also be greatly enhanced."

The five women looked at each other.

Liu Xue, who has been in the pharmaceutical industry for many years, was the first to react, and her gasp was quite obvious.

Ji Yanran frowned: "Three to five hundred years? You're not kidding? That goes against common sense in biology."

For women, lifespan is just a number; hundreds of years is too far away, and their reaction is limited to surprise.

Li Yichen glanced at their indifferent reactions and gave a slight smirk.

"Most importantly," Li Yichen slowed his speech, revealing his trump card, "this medicine can rewrite the logic of your cell aging. In other words, after receiving this injection, your appearance will be permanently frozen in its current state."

He pointed to Ji Yanran's face.

"Not even a fine line or a single gray hair will grow again. Never."

That sentence came crashing down.

The air in the laboratory had completely changed.

Ji Yanran lowered her arms, which were crossed over her chest, and took a big step forward.

Liu Xue's eyes widened in surprise.

Xue Shanshan stood up abruptly from the round stool, her breathing rapid as if she had just run 800 meters.

Liu Xiaoyu and Xiao Yuqing stared intently at the glass tube in Li Yichen's hand, their eyes practically glowing green.

Immortality may be a pipe dream, but eternal youth is an absolute game-changer! No woman can resist such temptation.

"Give it to me!" Ji Yanran abandoned all restraint and reached out to snatch it.

Li Yichen flicked his wrist, dodging her hand.

"Line up." Li Yichen took a needleless high-pressure injection gun, filled the glass tube with it, and said, "One at a time. Roll up your left sleeve."

The five women were unusually obedient at this moment, and quickly lined up in a row.

Liu Xiaoyu was the first to do it, rolling up her sleeves to reveal her fair arms.

Li Yichen placed the injection gun against her skin and pulled the trigger.

Driven by air pressure, the pale blue medicine instantly penetrated the skin and entered the body. There was no pain, only a slight coolness.

Next were Xiao Yuqing, Xue Shanshan, and Liu Xue.

Finally, there's Ji Yanran.

After administering five injections, Li Yichen threw the empty glass tube into the recycling bin.

"It takes about a week for the medication to be fully absorbed," Li Yichen explained, adding, "Eat plenty of high-protein foods these few days. You might feel a little drowsy during the bone and muscle remodeling process; that's normal."

The voice just fell.

Feeling a strange warmth surging through her body, Liu Xiaoyu leaned forward, wrapped her arms around Li Yichen's neck, and gave him a big kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you, honey!" Liu Xiaoyu's voice was sickeningly sweet.

Not to be outdone, Xiao Yuqing pulled Li Yichen's other cheek and left a red lip print on it as well.

Xue Shanshan blushed, tiptoed and quickly pecked him on the corner of his mouth, then quickly stepped back and lowered her head to fidget with her fingers.

Liu Xue was the boldest; she cupped Li Yichen's face in her hands, pressed her lips to his, and kissed him forcefully, leaving a clear lipstick mark.

Four women surrounded Li Yichen, chattering about the changes in his skin.

Ji Yanran was standing on the outermost circle and was pushed out.

She watched the four women's uninhibited behavior, her cheeks burning red. She was a strong woman, used to giving orders, and couldn't bring herself to compete for favor in public like them. Besides, her relationship with Li Yichen had always remained at the level of boss and employee.

Ji Yanran bit her lip, her gaze sweeping over the lipstick marks on Li Yichen's face.

She grabbed the uncapped pen from the table, turned around, and walked quickly towards the door in her high heels.

"I...I still have documents to approve on my desk!"

Ji Yanran tossed out a sentence without turning her head, her voice revealing an undisguised arrogance and embarrassment.

"You shameless bunch!"

The airtight door slid open to both sides and then quickly closed. Ji Yanran's fleeing figure disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Inside the lab, four women burst into a burst of clear, sweet laughter. Liu Xiaoyu stood on tiptoe, stretched out her finger, and chuckled as she wiped away the reddest lipstick mark on Li Yichen's cheek.
