“Future World? What is it like? Are there Mecha? Spaceships too?” Bai Ma kept asking.
“There are Mecha and Spaceships. I bought a spaceship back, do you want to see it?” Bai Tang asked. It wasn't the one she dug up on Ancient Earth, but the latest model of Spaceship she purchased on Capital Star, with top-notch speed.
“Forget it!” Bai Ma waved her hand, “Our house is like this; don't make it collapse.”
“Then let's wait for a clear night when the stars are bright, and I'll take you for a ride in the Spaceship to outer space.”
Bai Dad and Bai Ma's eyes lit up at her words! Just as Huaxia had recently landed on the moon, their daughter could take them on a trip to outer space! Having such a capable daughter is wonderful!
Child didn't know what a Spaceship or outer space was, so he obediently drank his porridge without interrupting.
“Tang Tang, won't it be too high-profile for you to just take us up there? What if someone finds out? Our country's satellite monitoring shouldn't be underestimated!” Bai Ma's expression shifted from excitement to worry.
“Don't worry, nothing will happen. I've already informed the relevant departments. I'm providing them with the technology from Future World, and they will give me convenience in return.”
“No, it won't be a problem, right?” Bai Dad and Bai Ma quickly asked, concerned that the country knowing about their daughter's abilities might not be good for her. Bai Ma recalled the descriptions of sending Ability Users to research institutions for dissection and shivered.
“It'll be fine; you need to trust your daughter's abilities. For that technology, they will only want to win me over.” Bai Tang smiled to reassure her parents, finally putting their minds at ease.
After breakfast, Bai Tang took out three vials of Gene Enhancer.
“Dad, Mom, I’m going to give you an injection!”
“Daughter, what is this?” Bai Dad and Bai Ma completely trusted their daughter but were still curious about the liquid in the syringe.
“This is a Gene Enhancer. After injection, it can promote metabolism and strengthen cells, restoring the body to its peak condition. In the future, people will inject it once a year and can live at least three hundred years.” Bai Tang explained to her parents.
“Three hundred years? Wouldn't that make us old monsters?” Bai Ma laughed, “Your dad and I would be happy to live to a hundred; living too long would just be boring.”
“Mom, how can you have no aspirations at all!” Bai Tang thought about how her parents could live long lives and accompany her for a long time— as for why she didn’t consider finding a man to accompany her, who in this world could match her?? (Someone: Me! I can!)
"I and your dad only care about you in this life. If you are doing well, we can rest easy. We don't have many other pursuits," Bai Ma and Bai Dad said with a relaxed smile. They are living better and better now, all thanks to their daughter. With the universe now within reach, what more could they possibly want? Contentment is the life philosophy of Bai Dad and Bai Ma.
"I don't care! I want you both Jianjian and Kangkang to always be with me. And Xi, do you want to stay with Grandpa and Grandma and your aunt forever?"
"Yes!" The child nodded vigorously. Grandpa and Grandma are the best people for him besides his mother—no one, not even the emperor, compares to them—and he doesn't want to be separated from them.
"Good!" Bai Tang patted his head. "Aunt is going to give you a shot now, so be good, don't cry, and don't move around!"
"I'm not sick!" The child immediately covered his bottom. He saw on television that only sick people get shots, and that shots hurt a lot.
"Hehe, our shot is great! It will make you healthier even if you're not sick!" Bai Tang quickly picked up the child, placing him on her lap with his bottom facing up. "Be good; Aunt will give you a shot that won't hurt."
In a flash, she pulled down the child's pants, inserted the needle into the muscle, injected, and withdrew the needle in one go. The child didn't feel any pain at all.
The child blinked; it really didn't hurt!
"Grandpa and Grandma, getting a shot doesn't hurt! You should get one too!"
Bai Tang took out a round robot that immediately captured the child's interest, and they happily began to play together. Of course, this home robot had professional nanny knowledge and didn't forget to teach the children while they played. Bai Dad and Bai Ma were initially worried but felt reassured after seeing this scene and entrusted their child to its care.
In the afternoon, when Xing Xiaokang returned home, he was equally excited and happy. Bai Tang took the opportunity to inject him with a Gene Enhancer.
Wu Xuemei had no comments about the extra counter or those new products, including the changes in her body after receiving the Gene Enhancer; she kept everything in her heart while quietly enjoying all the benefits that Bai Tang provided. With Bai Ma, Bai Dad, and Xi included, she was sure there would be benefits for her and Xing Xiaokang as well.
"Mom, whose phone call was that?" Bai Tang asked when she saw Bai Ma hang up.
"Your Cousin Ping called. In a few days, it will be your Aunt's birthday—turning seventy from sixty-nine—so we need to prepare something big. Your cousin and your brother have booked a banquet at People's Park for us to gather this weekend," Bai Ma said. The Bai family has eight siblings in total; although the elders have passed away and everyone has their own families now, the relationships among siblings remain close-knit. They often find various reasons to gather as a big family to maintain their bonds. As a daughter-in-law married into the family, Bai Ma has an even better relationship with her three sisters-in-law. Whenever there is any dispute between her and Bai Dad, the three sisters-in-law would side with Bai Ma instead of helping Bai Dad out, which often leads him to jokingly refer to himself as a son-in-law.
"Aunt is turning seventy; we need to give a big red envelope."
"But not too much; it would make it difficult for your other uncles and aunts," Bai Ma advised. She wasn't stingy with money but felt that if they gave too much themselves, it would put other relatives in an awkward position. Bai Tang's Third Uncle is a bus driver, and her eldest uncle is already retired; both families do not have high incomes.
"How much is that?" Bai Tang asked.
"About six hundred yuan. You can take more of those cloths and ornaments sold in your store to share with your uncles and aunts; these are valuable and can appreciate in value, unlike us, they don't even know how much they are worth," Bai Ma suggested. Ever since their family became wealthy, Bai Ma had been eager to help out their relatives.
"Okay, I'll bring some items that are bulky but definitely valuable," Bai Tang nodded. After giving up on the Red Mansion World, she hadn't replenished the large screen she had, which was already limited for sale in the Online Store, but she still had many items in her possession.
"Old Man, if you have nothing to do this afternoon, go to the train station and buy the tickets," Bai Ma instructed Bai Dad. Aside from Bai Dad and Bai Tang's Aunt Er who lived in City D, all of the Bai Family's relatives lived in the Provincial Capital. Bai Dad and Bai Ergu were originally from the Provincial Capital but moved to City D for work, got married here, and eventually settled down. Compared to their hometown of Provincial Capital, they preferred living in City D where they had spent most of their lives.
"Why go through all that trouble! It takes half an hour by bus to get to the train station, then we have to take a train and switch buses again in the Provincial Capital; it's a waste of time. We might as well rent a car and go directly to our destination," Bai Tang suggested.
"That works!" Both Bai Ma and Bai Dad nodded in agreement.
The child looked around and asked, "Is Xi going too?"
"Yes, of course! We won't leave Xi behind," Bai Ma said as she playfully hugged the child.
Hearing this, the child felt reassured and showed a big, adorable smile.
With short legs, he scampered over: "Xi, Xi, it's time to practice calligraphy; you can't slack off!"
"I know, thanks for the reminder!" The child slipped out from under Bai Ma's legs and followed her to the designated area where she had set up for him to practice writing big characters.
"Mom and Dad, I'm going out for a bit; I'll be back soon," Bai Tang said as she stood up.
"Go ahead!" Bai Ma waved her daughter off. Her daughter was really too much of a homebody; aside from going to other worlds, she hardly ever went out.
After changing her clothes and heading outside, Bai Tang hailed a taxi and gave an address.
The taxi driver was a woman in her thirties who kept glancing at Bai Tang as she drove.
"Is there something wrong? Why do you keep looking at me?" Bai Tang asked curiously as she adjusted the mirror above her head to take a closer look but found nothing unusual.
"No, no, I just thought you looked a bit familiar," the driver chuckled a couple of times, then asked with a hint of curiosity, "Hey, have you ever been told you look like a celebrity?"
"A celebrity?" Bai Tang laughed lightly. "How could I possibly look like a celebrity?"
"Why not? Have you seen 'Reversal'? The deposed empress in it looks a lot like you!"
'Reversal' was released during the Spring Festival. Although its total box office didn't reach one hundred million, only surpassing eighty million, it couldn't compare to other blockbusters. However, considering the investment, it was still profitable. This gave Sheng Qingxi the confidence to start filming his second movie with great enthusiasm. 'Reversal' received good reviews, and several actors in leading and supporting roles gained popularity because of it. Bai Tang's role as the deposed empress only appeared for a few minutes, but her performance left a lasting impression. Some talent agencies even approached Sheng Qingxi, hoping to recruit Bai Tang under their banner. Of course, Sheng Qingxi directly rejected all offers for her.
"Hey, you must be the actress who played the deposed empress, right? I heard 'Reversal' filmed some scenes in our City D. You weren't spotted by an assistant back then, were you?" The driver seemed to be getting too close to the truth.
Bai Tang smiled and said, "If I had really caught an assistant's eye, I would have already made it into the entertainment industry and wouldn't still be in a city like City D."
"Right!" The driver chuckled. "But I still think you look like the deposed empress. Can we take a picture together? In return, I won't charge you for the ride."
Bai Tang fulfilled the driver's request, and indeed, the driver did not charge her fare. She lifted her head and walked towards her young lover standing at the entrance of the building.
"Tian Yuan!"
