While operating under countless eyes and surveillance cameras, Liu Zikang was thankful that System 937 advised him to give up marriage and study. Without the knowledge accumulated over the years, she would never have dared to face the challenge so confidently on her own.
The reagents were reacting little by little, and Liu Zikang remembered what 937 had said. The system told her with great sorrow that even in such a world, as long as she existed as a dependent in the marriage, there was no way to achieve the goal of being a "rice bug". Love is like the tide, with ups and downs. It is relatively difficult to find a lover who is wholeheartedly and selfless. It is better to improve herself and then find another way.
937 was offline before he could finish his words. The system thought that perhaps the host could try to make money through industry to achieve economic freedom. Unexpectedly, Liu Zikang, who had just dropped out of junior high school, actually followed his instructions and studied hard, overcoming all obstacles to get here.
The final experimental results had to wait three weeks. During these three weeks, Lu Zheng was called by Liu Zikang to be his assistant, and Peng He was detained and did not show up again. On the last night, Lu Zheng and Liu Zikang returned to the houses under surveillance respectively, and both of them tacitly did not reveal any information to Ni Yangzhou.
The next day, the results were secretly reported to the decision makers. Amid Liu Zikang's anxiety, Peng He was released with a full beard.
One morning a week later, Liu Zikang, wearing new shoes, received a cheerful notification from the system.
Her mission was successful.
As an experimental researcher of decisive significance, her name was listed on the national list of outstanding achievements and contributions after discussion by some important figures. The moment it was stamped and confirmed, Liu Zikang has since received high bonuses and lifelong research funding support, and enjoys special national allowances and subsidies.
She has the most authoritative "rice-worm" protection - pension provided by the state.
Even if she never sets foot in a laboratory again for the rest of her life, these contributions are enough for her to live her life without any worries.
Liu Zikang's "Rice Bug" main mission is completed.
Then she died.
Within a minute of the list being confirmed, on a clear and free morning, she quickly said goodbye to her relatives and friends.
The body dies suddenly from cardiac causes, but the soul continues to move forward.
-------------------------------------
Ni Yangzhou was somewhat depressed for some time afterwards.
Liu Zikang succeeded and went on to the next mission. I was happy for him.
Lu Zheng was promoted and became busier than before. The two had not met since the last memorial service.
Ni Yangzhou looked at the drizzling rain outside the window and wanted to touch the cat, but he found that Mimi, who had been lying on his lap, had returned to her own cat villa at some point.
The weather was not very gloomy, and everything was clear and transparent as if it had been washed. The raindrops on the glass condensed into water streams and slowly slid down.
Yan Congzhi called and said he would be back later and asked Ni Yangzhou to eat first.
Ni Yangzhou said "hmm" and hung up the phone. Suddenly, he heard a call from security, saying that someone claiming to be from the Luo family wanted to visit.
The video was connected to the outside of the door. Ni Yangzhou looked at the screen and saw an unfamiliar middle-aged couple holding umbrellas. The car behind them was filled with bags of gifts.
Ni Yangzhou said that Yan Congzhi was not at home, and the other party bowed repeatedly and said that he just wanted to see Ni Yangzhou.
A little annoying.
Ni Yangzhou didn't want to have anything to do with these people from the Luo family anymore. Yan Congzhi had already taken him to visit the old man of the Luo family, so there was no need to meet these people again.
The two people outside the door waited for a long time, but the door never opened, so they could only leave in disappointment.
I don’t want to eat dinner either.
Ni Yangzhou took out an umbrella and went out. It was drizzling and he walked on the wide road for a long time. The wind became colder as the night fell, and he finally reached a place where he could take a taxi.
I got on the car but didn't know where to go. After thinking about it, I told the driver that we should go to Omega Academy.
The driver glanced in the rearview mirror and asked, "Are you going to sit in meditation too?"
Ni Yangzhou looked up, not understanding.
The driver, a Beta, chatted casually, "There's been protests going on over there lately. They walk around chanting slogans during the day, and then sit in protest outside at night instead of going home."
Ni Yangzhou asked, "Resistance against what?"
"What else can we do? Just resist and let the Alpha have the baby!"
Ni Yangzhou frowned, took out his phone which he hadn't opened for a long time, and flipped through the recent news. The first news item was about a famous Alpha officer announcing that he had undergone a "secondary differentiation uterine reconstruction experiment". Below it was a chorus of praise, with comments like "sacrificing for the reproduction of the tribe" and "giving birth is glorious", and there was not a single opposing comment.
"The one who was marching and sitting in was Alpha?"
This matter caused a lot of uproar. The driver was a little puzzled that the other party was completely unaware of it, so he kindly explained:
"What? The ones who objected the most were Omegas and Betas."
Ni Yangzhou took a deep breath and reinstalled the software that he had put aside and had not used for a long time. After logging in, he found that the public opinion was completely different from the official one.
Several genders started arguing with each other online.
Some believe that childbearing is a matter of power. Rather than promoting scientific research to force those unable to have children to have them, resources should be allocated to provide greater protections for those who can, such as Betas, who provide the majority of the nation's basic labor force, and Omegas, who are relatively more suited to childbearing. Giving more power to the already dominant gender is an inhumane exploitation of the other two (or three) genders, squeezing out their living space.
The ability of Alpha to reproduce will weaken the privileged attributes of Omega and will add another huge pressure on the already difficult Beta class.
Some people have different ideas. Some Alphas believe that as physically strong individuals, they already shoulder too much social responsibility. High-risk positions have always been occupied by Alphas. Now, the responsibility of nurturing life, which affects their physical health, is also being placed on Alphas. They really shouldn't be shepherded by this one sheep.
Some, while enjoying the melon, offered innovative ideas, arguing that granting Alphas reproductive rights would also require raising the social status of Betas and improving the physical fitness of Omegas. Of course, some LGBTQ+ groups cheered, saying that families with both A and B pairs would finally have the opportunity to conceive children with their own "superior" genes.
A variety of opinions were expressed, ranging from politics to economics, medicine, law, and family values. Everyone had a different view on this shocking news. Ni Yangzhou, counting the days and indulging in his love, rarely went out, and didn't notice anything unusual.
No, there are some anomalies.
Yan Congzhi has been busy running around outside since he came back. Ni Yangzhou originally thought that he was just dealing with the company's backlog of matters, but despite the noise outside, Yan Congzhi never mentioned it.
Ni Yangzhou looked at the increasingly familiar scenery outside the window. The car was driving slower and slower because of the crowded crowd.
He called Yan Congzhi.
