"Could it be that I only have seven years left to live?"
Ren Yuanhao naturally refused to believe it. He thought to himself, I've been single for 27 years, achieved nothing great, but performed countless small good deeds, like helping old ladies cross the road, and helping elementary school students quit internet addiction…
With all these good deeds, heaven must have taken pity on me. The heavens wouldn't treat me this way, absolutely not.
He absolutely would not bow to fate!
Without hesitation, Ren Yuanhao spent 800 points to exchange for a Great Strength Vajra Pill.
"Damn, it's really strong!"
As soon as Ren Yuanhao confirmed the exchange, his head was hit by something. A golden pill materialized and shot towards the top of his skull.
Once a golden pill enters the abdomen, you'll know your fate is not in heaven's hands!
As he smugly swallowed the pill, he felt an inexplicable heat surge within his abdomen. His mind felt like a turbulent sea, the world spun, and he fell into a deep sleep.
At this time, in a biological engineering research institute in Love City, the lights were bright. A woman in a white lab coat was working late into the night.
Her name was Lin Yue, a researcher with over five years of experience.
Before her were about twenty lab mice. She held a large stack of materials and was about to sit down and write diligently when she saw a colleague walk into the laboratory proudly carrying takeout.
"Stewed chicken with mushrooms, sauerkraut and vermicelli soup, mashed potatoes, tsk tsk tsk, I must say, my lover's cooking has improved again!"
These words were clearly meant for Lin Yue. As an engineering student who only focused on her work, having a boyfriend was as difficult as Tang Sanzang enduring eighty-one tribulations to obtain the scriptures. The time consumed was also something she, a workaholic, found unbearable.
Therefore, despite her own good qualities, she was still a lonely old woman at the age of 28.
As a single person who had eaten too much "dog food," this was a minor situation.
However, her stomach, unfortunately, protested with a whimper.
She glanced at the time and did some quick calculations. She had been working continuously for 24 hours, but the experiment had made no progress. She was even more confused and clueless.
Just then, their team leader walked into the laboratory with a man.
The moment this man entered the laboratory, he exuded an intangible sense of oppression. His face was handsome, yet it was so gloomy as if the whole world owed him a lot of money.
"The gene enhancement drug is still under research and development. Young Master Jiang, if I may be so bold to ask, I think it's not appropriate for you to be so eager to obtain the gene enhancement drug."
"As long as I can defeat that kid at the Martial Arts Association大会, no matter how great the risk, I, Jiang Cheng, will not hesitate."
"However, the gene drug currently has huge flaws, I'm afraid…"
"I'll give you three more days. By then, regardless of the outcome, I will try it."
Although Jiang Cheng had been put on the spot during their first meeting, that was only when he was ambushed. He didn't fear Ren Yuanhao. However, to completely crush his opponent in terms of strength, leaving him with no room to fight back and completely humiliated, he had to rely on gene drugs that could stimulate potential and enhance physical fitness, even if it meant paying a price.
"Since Young Master Jiang has made up his mind, I have nothing more to say. However, to be upfront, Young Master Jiang must keep our secret and not reveal the origin of the drug."
"Naturally. I'll be going now."
After the team leader saw Jiang Cheng off, he turned back to the laboratory. He glanced at the food on the table, then at Lin Yue, and sighed, saying, "Lin Yue, since you don't have a boyfriend, I'll trouble you to stay on duty tonight."
"Hey, hey, hey, team leader, I haven't slept for 24 hours!"
"But you don't have a boyfriend."
"I'm a woman! I need my beauty sleep."
"But you don't have a boyfriend."
"Enough, you're enough! Who says I don't have a boyfriend? I have a date tomorrow, and you wouldn't want me to go looking like this, would you?"
Lin Yue deliberately widened her panda eyes and looked at the team leader pitifully.
"Alright, I'll do it. Go home, go home. The two of you hurry up and leave, lest I change my mind." The team leader slumped his shoulders dejectedly, waving them away.
"Yes, sir!"
Lin Yue scampered away, not because she was exceptionally excited to hear "go home," but because she couldn't explain the word "date."
After finally returning home, Lin Yue ate a light supper, took a shower, and was about to collapse onto her soft bed when she suddenly remembered the word "date" and chuckled to herself.
She subconsciously opened her phone's contact list. The contacts listed were all work-related people and relatives. Even her best friend was in a relationship.
After scrolling from A to Z, she decisively gave up.
"Sigh, what is a single person thinking? Your Prince Charming might just be a lab mouse that has consumed mutated genes."
As Lin Yue shook her head and mocked herself, a message suddenly popped up on her phone.
"Are you worried about not finding a boyfriend? Or do you want to experience a love that will be remembered forever? DiDi Dating System is here to serve you. Please edit a text message, enter your boyfriend standards, and send it to this service number. You will receive a tailor-made boyfriend. To unsubscribe, please reply with 'td'."
"What is this thing? Could it be a prank by that little girl?"
Lin Yue, inexplicably compelled, typed her boyfriend standards into the dialogue box and clicked send, thinking that since it was a prank, the higher her requirements, the more it would show her unique taste.
…
The next morning, Ren Yuanhao was woken up by his phone. As soon as he got out of bed, he discovered his imposing aura.
"Holy crap, I took the Great Strength Vajra Pill, not Indian Vimax!"
As he spoke, he suddenly noticed the changes in his body.
The contours of his biceps and triceps became more pronounced. When he clenched his fists, the power filling his muscles had increased significantly. The outline of his abs had already begun to take shape. He believed that with another Great Strength Vajra Pill, this body would at least reach the condition of an average fitness coach.
"With just a D-level physique showing such a significant improvement, what about an S-level physique~"
Ren Yuanhao leaped down excitedly, but the suddenly increased strength caught him off guard. This leap actually moved him about a meter!
"Th-that's too exaggerated!"
