All the goddesses in the world are lusting after my body.

The money she got from renting a boyfriend was just the first step in improving her living conditions.

Perhaps it's not impossible for him to become a scumbag, to make An Qianxi fall head over heels for him, or even to squander his family fortune—but he doesn't want to do that.

I don't want to hurt An Qianxi.

I spent 5,000 yuan on the graphics tablet, and the delivery was very fast; I expect to receive it tomorrow.

From then on, Shixue could quietly do the work she loved at home without having to show her face in public or compromise herself.

Contented, Shi Xue snuggled against Jiang Tang's arms like a clingy big cat.

The problem is... big cats don't have such exaggerated "pectoral muscles"!

"Young Master must already have plans for the future."

"Well, I have quite a few potential clients..."

"Going to rent a boyfriend again!?"

Shi Xue looked pitiful.

"No, it's tutoring."

I've been harassed by that perverted cat.

Jiang Tang's gaze suddenly deepened, and a petite figure appeared in his mind.

……

It was 1 p.m. when Jiang Tang arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau alone.

Looking at the magnificent building in front of him, the corner of his mouth twitched.

Since the advent of gene matching systems, the Civil Affairs Bureau has become completely different.

Unlike in the past when it was simply about getting a marriage certificate, the Civil Affairs Bureau now offers a variety of services, acting as a matchmaker and striving to provide opportunities for couples whose genes are matched to the best possible outcome to meet.

The number of related positions has also increased dramatically, making it a popular career choice for graduates – after all, it's a civil service job.

Even the security guards were imposing, making the JK girls feel intimidated.

Jiang Tang withdrew his gaze, his expression remaining unchanged—a constant indifference, and a keenness hidden behind his foggy pupils, making it impossible to discern his thoughts.

The aloof and handsome guy always attracts the attention of passersby.

Jiang Tang possessed a pale, almost glowing complexion that seemed to shimmer in the sunlight, a stark contrast to his jet-black hair and black shirt.

In addition, she wore no extra accessories.

From a distance, they resemble walking ink paintings or immortal figures in a scroll painting.

Just as he was about to take a step forward, a woman wearing a mask walking quickly past him caught his attention.

How to describe it? It has an extraordinary temperament.

She was completely covered up, but this was not a flaw; on the contrary, it accentuated her stunning figure even more.

The dark-colored long dress draws inspiration from the style of the cheongsam, with a dark lotus flower swaying and blooming faintly outlining the silk threads. The shoulder design features black lace cutouts, and the high heels are alluring, revealing only the fair and delicate ankles, exuding both seduction and innocence.

It makes one eagerly anticipate her turning around, wondering if she truly possesses the captivating charm described in ancient poems.

The woman's elegant updo and fragrant neck, though an unexpected encounter, stirred a series of moving ripples in Jiang Tang's heart.

She didn't turn around, so Jiang Tang naturally looked down at her.

The two walked to opposite sides of the Civil Affairs Bureau, one on the left and one on the right.

At the end, the woman stopped and gazed at the boy's back from afar until Jiang Tang disappeared from sight. Then, she blinked her charming eyes thoughtfully.

Is it the wind that moves, or the heart that moves?

After much searching, Jiang Tang finally arrived at the gene matching room with the help of the staff.

To be honest, with the rapid advancement of modern technology, even though it was the Civil Affairs Bureau, he felt as if he had entered some kind of high-tech laboratory, and he was filled with trepidation.

The staff coming and going were all dressed in white and wearing masks. Some of them were engrossed in complex instruments, with various calculations, matching and data lines that were overwhelming and bewildering.

What's even more eye-catching is undoubtedly the cyberpunk-style mechanical chair in the glass room not far away, which connects to a data center. It makes people slightly resistant and unwilling to sit on it and connect some pulse testing instruments.

Human genes can be changed, but artificial alteration is difficult, though that doesn't mean it's impossible.

But it can't be done.

The relevant research has reportedly been banned by major countries since the last century... because it involves the realm of the "Creator".

Just like that great war that swept the world a long time ago, and a certain country's racial optimization program, altering genes is inhumane and anti-human.

In essence, gene matching is no different from any so-called "human optimization program".

However... in today's modern society, where the birth rate is declining and the population is aging, the birth rate in dozens of countries has fallen below zero, while the death rate is increasing day by day. Since a certain year, the global population has entered a period of decline.

That same year, major powers communicated and negotiated, eventually reaching an agreement and launching a vigorous gene matching program.

Just like fingerprints, genes have become, for the first time, one of the most important data in the human body database, creating a global gene database that will last forever.

However, a hardline racial optimization plan is unlikely to be implemented.

And if you're a gentle person, the state will match you with the wife most suitable to spend your life with—who wouldn't like that?

A meme from over a decade ago: "Hey? I heard the government has started assigning partners?"

It quietly came true.

007 Gene Matching

Sit in the cyberpunk-style gene-matching chair, with data cables connecting to various important nodes in your body.

Temples, occipital region, heart...

The goal is to record more accurate genetic information, ensure that no genetic mutations have occurred due to external factors such as the environment, and then use supercomputers for big data matching.

Every citizen of China has one free match opportunity after reaching adulthood.

As for registering genes, it's a normal activity, like getting a vaccination. You can test and update your genetic status every now and then. Most people's genes will not change in their lifetime, but the possibility of gene mutation cannot be ruled out.

Updating genetic information and storing it in a database allows hospitals to better provide healthcare services to people.

Jiang Tang didn't want to miss out on the country's benefits. This was his first time registering his genetic information and his first time undergoing genetic matching.

As for the match, he hoped it would be Shixue.

Even if that's not the case, he can choose whether or not to contact the other party.

Most likely, Jiang Tang won't have any particular interest in her, because genes are genes, feelings are feelings, and their life experiences and family backgrounds are also very different.

Genetic matching actually helps the silent majority in modern society who yearn for marriage and children.

They often shout "DINK" (Double Income No Kids) and say that marriage is a "prison" and that men and women can never understand each other. But the truth is... they just don't want to be arranged by their parents or by matchmakers, but they also long to find a partner with whom they can spend their lives.

Some people place their hopes on the next generation, and have an extremely deep obsession with the excellence of their descendants.

Taking all factors into account, is there any matchmaking agency stronger or more convincing than one that matches the interests of the state?

This is the fundamental reason why gene matching is so popular.

The matching process began, and Jiang Tang followed the instructions, closing his eyes, adjusting his breathing, and waiting quietly.

My heart skipped a beat when the image of a girl crying flashed through my mind.

— Absolutely not.

He prayed as deep marks appeared on his palms after a stinging pain in his fingertips.

If he gets matched with An Qianxi... then he might break down again.

Hopefully, fate won't play such a cruel trick on him.

The test ended approximately ten minutes later.

It was a wonderful experience. Jiang Tang was actually lying down very comfortably, as if his soul was drifting in the vast sea of ​​stars in the universe, lost and without a sense of direction.

He reluctantly got up only when the system notification sounded.

Remove the special gene-matching suit and hand it over to the staff.

As Jiang Tang calmly stepped out of the glass room, he was met with complicated gazes from several staff members.

Even they seemed to be in shock.

Among the staff were many young women who had just graduated. At this moment, they stared at Jiang Tang, feeling both regret and attraction. They adjusted their masks, afraid that he would discover their blushing faces beneath them.

The sparsely haired director coughed. As the person in charge here, he had to step forward and answer Jiang Tang's questions.

"I'm sorry, nothing like this has ever happened before..."

"..."

Jiang Tang tilted his head, appearing nonchalant, but his heart skipped a beat.

"Through big data comparison, we have yet to find a gene that perfectly matches yours, Mr. Jiang."

The database contains a vast amount of genetic data, shared globally, with nearly three billion adult men and women registered.

Of the three billion, none of them were destined for Jiang Tang.

The staff members all stood up, unsure how to comfort the young man before them. He was so handsome, like a figure from a painting, but his genes seemed to have a huge "flaw," as he didn't even have a single matching partner, leaving the results column blank.

Because genetic matching also has a crucial function: preventing genetically inherited diseases.

Driven by this seemingly beneficial function, some instances of siblings marrying each other have even emerged.

The main reason why the law restricts marriage between close relatives is that genetic diseases are a major factor.

However, genetic matching revealed that many siblings were actually perfect matches, leading to changes and revisions of the law as times have changed.

Jiang Tang is unable to be matched with anyone, most likely because his genes have a serious defect... the kind that would cause a huge probability of genetic mutation and become a "disaster to the country and the people".

Only words like "disastrous" can describe Jiang Tang's appearance.

Some bald directors even wanted to say something cruel.

"For the future of humanity, Mr. Jiang, could you please become a DINK (Double Income No Kids)...?" (DINK refers to not having children.)

If Jiang Tang were to give birth, the resulting gene mutations would have uncontrollable consequences, leading to the development of many modern, incurable diseases.

But he couldn't bring himself to say it.
