Gene Unlocking: I Evolve Every Day

Chapter 426: Chapter 369: Wish Fulfilled

By evening, the neighbors finally dispersed.

Only Lu Li and his parents were left in the house.

As soon as Dad closed the door, Mom brushed over and stared intently at her son’s face.

Knowing he was at fault, Lu Li quickly admitted his mistake, saying, ”Mom and Dad, I shouldn’t have kept some things from you before, and lately, I have indeed been busy outside. Please don’t be mad at me.”

”Mad?” Mom’s expressionless face suddenly bloomed with a smile, ”Why would I be mad at my precious son? Look at that, all the neighbors and townsfolk today were so friendly, all praising you for your abilities. Some relatives even called to ask what’s going on. Oh, right, Aunt Wu and Aunt Zhang brought some eggs and vegetables for me and your dad.”

Dad, standing there, remarked emotionally, ”Just a few days ago, they didn’t even dare talk to us, but today you made such a huge contribution to the country, and their attitude changed immediately. Son, you did well with this!”

Seeing his parents so satisfied, Lu Li felt great.

Suddenly, Mom, puzzled, asked, ”Son, tell me honestly, how did you suddenly become so awesome? The news says even a nuclear bomb can’t kill you, and now you’re making great contributions to our country’s physics. What’s going on?”

Lu Li flattered his parents, saying, ”Isn’t it because of your good genes? I inherited your excellent genes, so I could achieve these small achievements. As for why a nuclear bomb can’t kill me, it’s a long story, and you might not believe it. I think it’s better not to tell it. Anyway, just know that your son is very capable now.”

Some time ago, when Lu Li told Mom he was an ancestor, she didn’t believe it.

Now, if he really explained gene unlocking, he guessed Dad and Mom still wouldn’t believe it, so he didn’t plan to waste his words further.

Unexpectedly, Mom shamelessly said, ”When did I ever not believe you? Didn’t I believe you last time when you said you were an ancestor? Spill it, let me and your dad know what’s really going on.”

Sweat!

You really didn’t believe it at the time!

Lu Li was made speechless by his mother.

But since Mom and Dad were interested, and he now had the ability to protect family and friends, he naturally wouldn’t hide anything anymore.

Then... well, he talked for quite a while, leaving Mom and Dad dumbfounded.

Gene unlocking, becoming a god, left them completely bewildered.

In the end, taking advantage of the time his parents were still digesting the information, Lu Li slipped away.

Today, he and Liu Kexin had planned to do some intimate things, and he definitely couldn’t miss this opportunity, so naturally, he didn’t stay for dinner at home.

....

He had just returned to Diamond Home.

Liu Kexin wasn’t back yet.

Lu Li opened the bedroom door.

He was just about to ponder the terrifying matter of the ”Gamma-ray burst.”

Suddenly, a call came in.

The first person calling was Qin Liang.

Lu Li answered, ”Lao Qin, what’s up?”

On the other end, Qin Liang laughed aloud, ”Mr. Lu, the commotion you’ve caused this time is truly monumental. You’ve even developed a super particle collider a hundred years ahead of current technology?”

Lu Li sat on the edge of the bed, chuckling, ”Just a coincidence.”

Qin Liang said, ”You’re like a celestial being, I don’t believe it’s just a coincidence. But to be honest, the ruckus you’ve caused this time has greatly benefited my company. Just check any McBao King store, I’m sure every seat is taken.”

Lu Li laughed, ”How about me as a corporate spokesperson?”

Qin Liang praised endlessly, ”Great! More than great! Beyond great! Haha!”

....

Just after hanging up Qin Liang’s call, another one came in, this time from Peng Erping.

”Mr. Lu, you’re amazing!”

”Haha, President Peng, how are you doing lately?”

”Good, good, thanks to your blessing, my company’s orders have surged several times. Honestly, before today, I thought Longda Machinery was going to close down. But once you made such a tremendous contribution to the country, my company revived immediately. Thank you, Mr. Lu, thank you.”

”No need to be so polite.”

”Alright, alright, I won’t be. Mr. Lu, when you have time, I must treat you to a good meal to thank you.”

....

The third, the fourth, calls kept coming non-stop.

Even from across the ocean, people like Julia Giannini and Liu Yeli also called to show their concern, all expressing great astonishment.

It wouldn’t have been a problem to take more calls, but upon seeing that Julia Giannini also called, Lu Li feared Liu Kexin might catch him when she returned, so he simply turned off his phone and didn’t plan to answer any more calls.

Lu Li lay on the bed, using super perception to sense the latest situations.

Sure enough, it was a national sensation.

Major newspapers and TV stations across the country were almost all reporting on this incident.

The Youth Daily, Yangzi Daily, Su City Daily, Qiantang Evening News, Shanghai Daily, and even the official media’s website, or perhaps Su City TV Station, Shanghai TV Station, and the most authoritative TV station in the country, were all frenziedly reporting it.

On Weibo, Douyin, forums, and Tieba, nearly anything involving social or news topics hit the hot search or hot post.

For example, on Weibo and Douyin, this matter was already on the top of the hot search list two or three hours ago.

Excitement!

Madness!

These two words perfectly describe the domestic situation!

Huaxia’s massive coverage naturally led foreign media to reprint it.

After all, whether it’s the super particle collider or the ”volcanic ash rock” subatomic particles, these are events that could potentially change the course of human civilization.

Of course, the media wouldn’t miss such a sensational story.

The New York Times, which has ”grudges” with Lu Li!

Reuters in the United Kingdom and a few major media outlets!

Several major news media outlets or TV stations in Japan and Korea!

Many netizens directly took screenshots and brought over the similarly huge buzz in foreign comments one by one.

Especially the Nobel official side, which directly sent out an invitation.

Inviting Lu Li’s ”volcanic ash rock” subatomic particles to participate in the selection.

Now, Lu Li and Shen Xia have already been listed as qualified nominees for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Judging by the situation, the probability of winning is very high!

Lu Li sensed these circumstances and chuckled silently, ”It’s really quite lively, huh.”

The word ”lively” actually isn’t enough to describe the current situation; ”crazy” would be more like it!

Countless people are exclaiming online!

”Great God Lu Li is awesome!”

”Totally freaking awesome!”

”As soon as the news spread, the Nobel side immediately issued an invitation. It’s really bringing honor and glory to our country!”

”Haha, this time our Huaxia is in the limelight internationally, very happy! Thank you, Great God Lu Li, for your contribution. We all misunderstood you before; you are the best!”

Three hundred comments!

One thousand five hundred comments!

Fifty-four thousand two hundred comments!

Randomly open a related news report or a short video, and you can see the overwhelming comments in the comment section, showing how sensational it is.

Lu Li was watching with great interest.

Suddenly, he sensed Liu Kexin’s driver driving a Bentley, sending Liu Kexin back home.

At this moment, Liu Kexin just got out of the car, her face, much like Lu Li’s parents, was glowing with happiness and looked especially beautiful.

Lu Li knew why this was.

He had long known about the situation at Vox through his superior perception.

Today, Liu Kexin not only retained the big client, President Su, but also those clients who hesitated to renew their contracts due to concerns all came back to seek renewal.

Even some of Vox’s competitors’ partners were drawn to seek cooperation.

It can be said that Vox’s performance in the foreseeable future will absolutely increase several times compared to before!

Liu Kexin, as the ”Sect Leader” of Vox, would naturally be internally happy and glowing with happiness as a result.

Seeing his girlfriend happy, Lu Li felt quite happy too.

To be honest, he doesn’t care how outsiders see him, but he really doesn’t want his family and friends to have an unhappy life because of himself.

Now that he spent a little bit of time doing some things, and made family and friends, who were previously worried, happy, is there anything more worth being happy about?

Lu Li sighed lightly, ”Even if there weren’t gamma-ray bursts, at most in a few decades or centuries, I would become all alone, so it’s better to do more while they are still alive to let them have a better life.”

That’s why he had to do those things today.

Perhaps he could take all his family and friends off Earth when it is destroyed, but ordinary people’s lifespans are ultimately limited. Even if he uses energy or other methods to extend their lives, it’s impossible for them to exist eternally like himself.

Therefore, Lu Li just wants to make them as happy as possible while his parents, Liu Kexin, and other family and friends are still alive, especially since what awaits him in the future is a long time of loneliness and solitude.

”Oh, right!”

Lu Li suddenly thought of something, ”After my third deep evolution, I’ve become like Tang Monk’s flesh. Now that I’ve completed my fifth deep evolution, can’t I find a way to extend others’ lifespans, or use energy to... unlock their genetic locks?”

While pondering deeply, the tapping sound of high heels on the stairs came from the stairwell.

A moment later, the footsteps gradually approached the door.

Knock, knock-knock.

The knocking sound came from outside.

Next, Liu Kexin’s slightly excited voice sounded, ”Lu Li, are you there?”

Lu Li sat up and replied, ”Yes, come in.”

Click, the door was pushed open from the outside.

With a small bag in hand and wearing professional attire, Liu Kexin rushed in excitedly, lunged onto Lu Li, knocking him onto the bed, then planted a few mad kisses, ”I’m so happy today!”

Lu Li, wrapping his arms around her waist, lay flat with a beaming smile, ”How happy?”

Liu Kexin, lying on top of him, blinked and said, ”Tonight, whatever you want to do, I... I can do it all.”

I was just waiting for you to say that!

Lu Li flipped over and pressed her down, ”Then shall we now...”

Liu Kexin chuckled, ”Don’t rush, okay? I’ve been busy all this time and didn’t even have a bite to eat, and I haven’t showered yet. Let me finish up, then we can take it slow, alright?”

How long can that take?

Lu Li had waited this long, another one or two hours wouldn’t hurt, right?

He chuckled, ”Sure, but I’m really a bit eager now, let me enjoy the feel first.”

With that, he started to move his hands.

”Ticklish... haha...” Liu Kexin giggled charmingly, ”Stop it, stop it, let me go eat something first, then after we shower... well, you understand what I mean.”

Lu Li, of course, understood.

She’s a reserved girl.

Doing this for the first time.

Surely she’d want to be prepared.

And he wanted to leave her with a lovely memory, naturally showing maximum respect.

Lu Li released her, climbed off the bed, stood up, ”Alright, what do you want to eat? How about we go out for a romantic meal?”

Liu Kexin propped herself up, giggling, ”No need to go out, I’ve hired a chef to come over, we can be romantic at home.”

Finally, it’s come to this step.

Lu Li couldn’t be happier.

To be honest, although Liu Kexin had long agreed to do this, Lu Li was well aware that if he hadn’t done those things today to put her in a great mood, even if they did it later, her mood might not have been as high, much less rushing in and kissing him right away like she did just now.

Well, today’s actions were spot on, absolutely worth it!

Lu Li had been looking forward to this for a long time, and now it’s about to happen, his heart blooming with joy.
