Chapter 57-Part 2

Tang Jing was silent for a while before smiling bitterly, “Forget it, you can’t help me.”

Currently, there really aren’t many things she can’t handle.

Tang Xin took a slow sip of tea and said indifferently, “I’ve given you the opportunity. If you don’t even have the courage to try, don’t regret it later, because you can’t blame anyone else.”

Tang Jing couldn’t help but roll her eyes. She didn’t want both of them to be upset, so she didn’t want to mention it, but now she was being blamed?

So she spoke unceremoniously, “Have you heard of Tangmen on the Star Network? I want to get a bottle of Tangmen’s gene purification agent. Can you help me with that?”

Before Tang Xin could respond, she continued, “I appreciate your intention, but don’t make empty promises. If you can’t do it…”

Her voice trailed off as Tang Xin handed her a vial. It looked exactly like the gene purification agent from the Star Network.

“You…” Tang Jing’s heartbeat quickened, and her hand holding the vial trembled. She quickly placed it on the table, afraid of accidentally dropping it.

“I told you, didn’t I? If you don’t speak up, how can I help you?” Tang Xin waved her hand, “Take it, take it. Now we’re even.”

Tang Jing cautiously asked, “Is Tangmen on the Star Network run by you?”

Without waiting for an answer, she continued, “No, you don’t need to tell me that. Can you tell me if you have more gene purification agents?”

“Does it matter if I have more or not?” Tang Xin replied, feeling slightly grateful.

When Tang Xin handed the agent to Tang Jing, the latter accepted it readily without suspecting it was fake, indicating her trust in Tang Xin.

“Wait a moment.”

Tang Jing turned her head, taking several deep breaths to calm her heartbeat.

Once she was a bit calmer, she turned back, “Let me tell you something else first.”

“When the gene purification agent first appeared at the auction, most people were afraid to drink it. A brave girl named Zhou bought it at the starting price and tested it on the spot. Within a few days, she rose from E-level to C-level. Did you know that?”

Tang Xin nodded. No one knew that incident better than her.

She learned from that experiment that low-level genes could rise two levels with the agent.

However, Tang Jing’s next words surprised her, “That girl Zhou made the right bet. Her family was already well off. After becoming C-level, she tested her gene level daily for three months to ensure stability, then quickly arranged a suitable marriage and got married.”

“Soon after the marriage, she got pregnant and later gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl with B-level and C-level genes, respectively. Her husband is B-level. Do you know what this means?”

Tang Xin was puzzled, “What does it mean?”

Tang Jing glared at her, “It means she really became C-level!”

“…”

Tang Xin wanted to roll her eyes. Of course she knew that drinking the agent would genuinely enhance the gene level; it wasn’t a scam.

Tang Jing continued, “Initially, when she rose to C-level, some speculated the agent might not actually enhance gene levels but only disguise them to fool the testing instruments. After she had B-level and C-level babies, no one said that anymore. Because a combination of E-level and B-level genes is most likely to produce C-level and D-level offspring.”

She wondered what Tang Jing was going to say so mysteriously, but it turned out to be this. Of course she knew; she had learned it in genetics.

Tang Xin found it quite amusing.

To her, this wasn’t something worth getting excited about.

Tang Jing was equally speechless.

Seeing Tang Xin’s clueless expression, it was clear she hadn’t grasped the point at all.

She decided to spell it out plainly, “Marrying is a woman’s second chance at life. If a woman drinks the gene purification agent to enhance her gene level, she can marry into a better family and have children with superior genes. Do you understand?”

Tang Jing’s face was fervent, her eyes blazing as she looked at the gene purification agent.

“…”

Tang Xin thought this was the first time she’d heard of a woman wanting to buy the gene purification agent to marry and have children. Usually, it was men who sought her medicine to improve their strength.

She had never thought about marrying into a wealthy family. In her previous life, she wasn’t short of money and never sought a partner.

“For instance, I used to be C-level. No matter how hard I tried, it was difficult to improve my strength. Some people, sitting comfortably, would say I haven’t worked hard enough to reach the level where talent matters.”

Tang Jing got angry thinking about such comments, “If I had A-level talent from birth, with my effort, I’d have surpassed Tang Ning by a dozen levels!”

“You have no idea; the planet I went to had a nice environment. There, I met a man with a decent family background. He’s B-level, similar in age, interests, and outlook. We got along well and planned to marry, but his mom disagreed, saying I’m C-level and would surely have C-level children, which wouldn’t be good for their family’s future.”

“Surely? The child could be B-level or C-level. She just didn’t want her son to marry me. I hoped the man I liked would stand up to his mom, but he said nothing, also worried. Worried my foot! If he had the guts, he should become A-level himself! Then he could marry a B-level woman. He’s a B-level; which B-level woman would lower herself to marry him? He’d have to choose a C-level woman!”

“This time I came back to ask if the gene purification agent was made by our family. If it was, I wanted to ask for a vial. If not, I planned to earn more money and save up a larger dowry. When my wealth surpasses his family’s, his mom would have nothing to say.”

Such a complicated family drama.

Tang Xin coughed lightly, trying to comfort Tang Jing.

“Um… now that you have the gene purification agent, drinking it will make you B-level. Then you can be with the man you like openly. His mom won’t look down on you anymore and might even try to please you.”

Tang Jing was speechless, staring at Tang Xin in a daze.

After a long while, she said weakly, “If he can’t stand up to his mom, can’t make his own decisions, cares more about the woman’s gene level than their compatibility, and has a mean mom, why would I bother with him after becoming B-level? Eighth Sister, you’re missing the point completely!”
