Genes originated from organic molecules in the primordial ocean billions of years ago. These organic molecules gradually formed different gene groups by replicating themselves. These gene groups then evolved better survival components to replicate themselves and ensure their continuation.

These components of survival are, in fact, different forms of life.

They optimize themselves generation after generation, simply to continue replicating and perpetuating their existence; in their lives, this manifests as reproduction.

Insects without intelligence lie buried in the soil, waiting for over a decade, only to sing a single cicada song in the height of summer—of course, that's a romantic notion. In reality, they are simply following the commands of their genes to mate, and their singing is to attract females.

Once they've mated, their mission as "tools" is complete, and they can die, because the insects have successfully passed on their genes.

Insects may not be the best gene carriers, but they steadfastly fulfilled their mission.

Jiang Tang's genes are too outstanding; its birth could not possibly be for a fleeting moment of glory.

Therefore, this also determines that Jiang Tang could not possibly be interested in BL (Boys' Love).

Jiang Tang: I think...

Genes: You don't want to (covers mouth), you have to find a beautiful girl with big breasts, long legs, fair skin and a pretty face!

?086 Game

Jiang Tang sat in his seat and began to read the comic book in front of him with great interest.

Beside him, Shiyuki, a girl dressed in a maid outfit with her right eye covered by an eyepatch, greeted each reader who came to buy comics with a smile and a gentle tone.

Few people would probably think of Shi Xue as the author of a comic book; they would probably think she is a mascot or cosplayer hired by a comic book artist.

They might even mistake Jiang Tang for the author of the comic. In order to find out what kind of works such a handsome comic artist could create, many girls who are obsessed with good looks have rushed over to buy a comic book to find out.

This indirectly increased the sales of Shixue Comics, so overall it's a good thing.

However, this also laid the groundwork for the later rumor circulating in the industry that the author of "Snow Falls on His Shoulders" was actually a male. This is the same principle behind the saying "three men can make a tiger".

However, established readers and industry insiders in the comics world will not make this misjudgment.

They would naturally know about the heartwarming story that circulated at yesterday's comic convention: Ms. Chiyu had taken on a new manga artist as her apprentice.

The news has been circulating widely in various channels within the comics industry, prompting many to want to understand what is so captivating about this new author and her work that could attract the notoriously discerning author, Chiba.

Because of this, while the other stalls hadn't sold many books yet, the comic books that had piled up in front of Jiang Tang, obscuring his face, were quickly sold out one after another.

As a result, some people nearby joked that it was just like a match-3 game.

After clearing all the blocks in a match-3 game, an image will be revealed. This has led some adult visual novels to also adopt a match-3 format, except that the images are replaced with uncensored CG images of beautiful girls. In order to remove the "holy light," each player works very hard.

In the context of Jiang Tang, it means that all the comics have sold out, and then the handsome Jiang Tang, who was hidden among the pile of comics, is revealed.

When the last book was taken away by a girl in a short-sleeved shirt, Jiang Tang also looked away from his comic book.

“Sold out, my great cartoonist.” He smiled at Shi Xue, who wore a relieved and genuinely satisfied smile.

"Sold out! I'll treat my master to a nice meal later!"

"That seafood buffet last time was pretty good," Jiang Tang said without any politeness.

"Eating at a buffet isn't good, it'll make you too full. Let's go eat something more refined, how about cherry blossom cuisine?"

"Okay."

This solved the difficult question of what to eat for lunch between the couple. The same questions also included what to eat for breakfast, dinner, and late-night snack.

Afterwards, Jiang Tang and Shi Xue, amidst the envious glances of others, abandoned their stall and went to the comic convention.

Oh, by the way, the stall is also provided free of charge to the comic book artists next door so they can put some odds and ends there. Shi Xue is always so kind and selfless.

The anime convention was crowded and the venue was large, bustling with activity, but Jiang Tang and Shi Xue only had the chance to visit it now.

I had a chance yesterday, but the owner of the maid café conscripted me to do manual labor.

Speaking of Han Ying, her figurines are quite interesting. They are made from a microcosm of her daily life, and that microcosm is "counting money." On the figurine, Han Ying's eyes are shaped like JPY.

As for Shi Xue's figurine, it's even more interesting; it depicts her looking down on some strange guests with a disdainful expression.

Jiang Tang had never seen such an expression on Shi Xue's face before. To him, it was quite amusing, but it only made Shi Xue feel extremely ashamed.

To prevent the easily swayed Shi Xue from being tricked by Han Ying into serving customers at the maid cafe for a while, Jiang Tang specially took her to a place far away from the maid cafe exhibition hall.

Actually, there aren't many things to do at comic conventions. Of course, if you're a social butterfly, then disregard what I said.

Because anime conventions are essentially places for like-minded people to connect. If you know how to use memes, you can easily fit in. Even if you don't know anything, as long as you're a pretty girl, you can easily fit in and become a core figure in the community.

The principle that "beautiful girls equal justice" was blatantly displayed at the comic convention.

Rounding down, Shi Xue is the epitome of justice.

Jiang Tang and Shi Xue are not exactly pure anime fans. They watch anime, but that's about it. They're not keen on buying figurines or are fanatically obsessed with any particular character. So when they see cosplay at anime conventions, unless it's exceptionally impressive and immediately gives off a "top-tier" vibe, they're generally not surprised. They just treat it as a casual visit to an exhibition or a Halloween party.

However, when there's excitement, they can't hide their human nature and will inevitably gather around and squeeze to the front of the crowd.

On stage, there was a dance performance by professional cosplayers. As soon as the background music of Gokuraku Jodo started, the barrage of comments on the screen read "My youth is back!" The atmosphere became lively, and waves of cheers erupted from the audience.

Jiang Tang and Shi Xue watched with great interest, and would even comment on the cosplayer's dance moves, saying things like, "This dance move is good, that dance move is not good," and so on.

After the dance performance ended and the host came on stage, Jiang Tang and Shi Xue prepared to make a hasty retreat.

Before they could even manage to squeeze through the crowd, the quick-witted female host had already started the classic segment.

"Next, let's invite an audience member to come up on stage and participate in our game!"

Jiang Tang suddenly felt something was wrong. People can often foresee something before they are doomed, but they are destined to be unable to change it.

"So, handsome young man, would you like to come up on stage and participate in a fun dating show? We promise you won't be disappointed!"

The spotlight shone on Jiang Tang's face, and at the same time, the camera panned to the large screen. This was probably what a "confused handsome guy" looked like. The moment Jiang Tang's image appeared on the screen, many viewers exclaimed in surprise and interacted with their companions, wondering if he was some kind of idol. It was a bit unscientific for an ordinary person to be so good-looking.

"Young man, would you like to come up and do a show with our mystery guest? I guarantee you won't be disappointed!"

This is the second time the female host has assured Jiang Tang that she won't let him down. Could it be that some incredible benefit is waiting for him?

Jiang Tang originally wanted to refuse because he felt troubled, but now he was starting to hesitate.

In addition, Shi Xue, who was standing next to him, also looked like she was enjoying the show. She tugged at his sleeve, clearly wanting to see her master perform.

Jiang Tang had no choice but to sigh softly, partly for the sake of the benefits, and the other half to make the maid beside him smile.

He obediently went up from the right side of the stage, and stood next to the host amidst the whispers and murmurs of the crowd below the main stage.

When the female host got up close to Jiang Tang, she felt so happy that she was almost dizzy. He seemed to be radiating light, partly due to the stage lighting, and partly because Jiang Tang's appearance and temperament were truly outstanding, making people's hearts flutter.

She couldn't help but feel envious of the cosplayer dressed as a maid, Shi Xue. After all, to outsiders, Shi Xue was probably the only girl who would wear a maid outfit to accompany her boyfriend to a comic convention.

But while I can admire the handsome men, I still have to continue hosting.

"Hello, young man, could you tell us your last name?"

“My surname is Jiang,” Jiang Tang replied calmly.

Suddenly, I felt a little relieved that my surname wasn't "Jiao," because this kind of self-introduction would be rather unfriendly to friends with the surname "Jiao."

"Okay, Mr. Jiang~ Mr. Jiang, this way please. Follow the staff to the quiet room on the right. Our segment focuses on interaction between strangers. There, you can have a conversation with our mystery guest through a walkie-talkie. Don't be nervous, you can say whatever you want."

"..." Jiang Tang nodded silently. He felt that this game was not very friendly to people with social anxiety; it was practically a public execution for awkward conversations.

However, the entertainment value was definitely top-notch.

Whether it's watching someone with social anxiety awkwardly chatting or someone with social skills spouting eloquent words, it's all great conversation starters and laughs for the audience.

Led by the staff, Jiang Tang finally arrived at the so-called quiet room.

The soundproof room truly lives up to its name; once inside, you are enveloped in complete silence, unable to hear anyone else's voice except your own.

Furthermore, the interior structure also adopts the same design as the Magic Mirror, which is essentially a glass wall, so that you can't see inside from the outside, but you can see outside from the inside.

However, unlike the Magic Mirror, Jiang Tang cannot see outside, but those outside can see inside.

Good kids shouldn't search for the Magic Mirror number.

The other mystery guest was in a soundproof room that was invisible from both inside and outside.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be called a mystery guest. If Jiang Tang had been seen by her earlier, this exchange program wouldn't have been so interesting.

Conversations and exchanges between two complete strangers are especially interesting.

"What should I do next?" Jiang Tang muttered to himself, and his voice was amplified through the loudspeaker, reaching the audience. However, he could only see the walls and not the audience outside.

Jiang Tang's bewildered expression alone is enough to create a TV show.

Ultimately, some idols who participate in variety shows, even if they do nothing, as long as they satisfy the needs of certain viewers who only care about looks, no matter how stupid their actions or how boring their words are, they will still be praised with comments like "Ahhh, so cute!", "He's handsome, that's all that matters!", "He's absolutely gorgeous!"

The show itself knows that these idols are only invited to be decorative figures; as long as the ratings are good, everything else is negotiable.

Given this, it's only natural that they would choose an attractive non-celebrity to participate in the on-site games.

Jiang Tang waited a few seconds in the soundproof room before hearing the voices of staff members coming from the loudspeakers above.

"Mr. Jiang, please take your seat in the designated area. Our exchange session will begin shortly. This game consists of two parts."

"First is the free exchange session, where you can have appropriate conversations with our mystery guest about each other's identities and life issues."

"Next is our Q&A session, where we will answer the questions we raise."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tang thoughtfully sat down on the designated chair. The scene in the soundproof room was simply set up, with a very obvious suspended microphone in front of the only chair.

"Mr. Jiang, please turn on your microphone. We are about to begin our first segment!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Tang switched on the microphone.

"Hello." It was a cliché opening line, nothing new.

There was no response from the other party for the time being, so Jiang Tang frowned slightly but did not urge them. Instead, he waited quietly for their reply.

Meanwhile, the main stage's large screen was divided into two smaller screens of equal size, displaying the situation in the two quiet rooms respectively, allowing the audience to see the details of the two people's interaction more intuitively.

After a brief static, the connection was first established with Jiang Tang, and the audience could see that he had already arrived in front of the microphone.

That "hello" is standard and most people would greet each other politely before communicating.

However, because of his good looks, many people became fans and started adding layer upon layer of filters to him.

"His voice is so beautiful!"

"I finally understand what 'A gentleman's words are as gentle as jade' means!"

Listening to the chatter of the girls around her, Shi Xue felt a strange mix of agreement and unease.

It also stirred within her an impulse to tell the whole world, "That is my master!"
