Chapter 967 - 965: Gold Can Also Lose Its Value

Mo Jingchun’s expression was complex, nodding his head and then shaking it.

"Sort of, but not completely."

The system’s existence, Mo Jingchun would take to the grave and never reveal even a hint to anyone else.

"X-Gene Optimization Liquid, it’s a kind of genetic optimization liquid in my lab, and so far, no side effects have been discovered.

All of them, Lone Wolf and the others, have used the X-Gene Optimization Liquid."

"I want to use it." Li Xuanyu’s tone was firm, without a hint of hesitation.

However, Mo Jingchun shook his head and said:

"Tomorrow I’ll have Zero give you a briefing on the reactions after the X-Gene Optimization Liquid injection. After listening, if you still want to use it, it’s not too late to discuss."

"Don’t think too much, go to sleep."

In the pitch-black room, Li Xuanyu, with her eyes closed, thought about many things.

She knew that even if she never had children, Mo Jingchun wouldn’t say anything.

But she wanted one, dreamed of having a child.

Relatives wouldn’t say anything outright, but behind her back, they definitely did.

The next morning, Mo Jingchun woke up naturally, while Li Xuanyu was still sound asleep.

Carefully, he moved Li Xuanyu’s hand holding him, seeing she hadn’t woken, Mo Jingchun finally sighed in relief and got up out of bed.

With his back to Li Xuanyu, Mo Jingchun didn’t notice that the corner of Li Xuanyu’s mouth slightly lifted, and she opened one eye.

After Mo Jingchun dressed up and went downstairs for a morning run, Li Xuanyu lazily said:

"Zero, I’m going to sleep a bit more, remind me to get up in an hour, I’m worried I’ll oversleep."

"Okay, sis-in-law."

On the other side, Candy, who had developed a biological clock at school, had already woken up at the crack of dawn.

At school, this time was already for getting up, assembling for a morning run, and then attending early self-study.

Hesitating for a while sitting on the bed, Candy lay straight back down.

It’s finally a holiday, just enjoy life.

"Zero, remember to call me when breakfast is almost ready~"

"Love~"

Sitting on the room sofa, Zero curled his lips and closed his eyes again.

"Time to get up."

Dazedly awoken by Zero, Candy rubbed her eyes and looked out the window.

"Such a big sun. I remember I just lay down."

Hearing this, Zero rolled his eyes and said: "It’s eight thirty; you’ve slept another two hours.

If you still don’t get up, the boss is going to send sis-in-law to call you up. Haven’t you forgotten? You still have to visit Zhou Yaling at the hospital this morning."

"Ah—right! Need to see sister."

Instantly awakened, Candy jumped up in a carp-style leap.

In the next second, there was a ’crack’ sound.

Standing motionless on the bed, Candy looked at Zero, completely dumbfounded.

In the silent room, where even the drop of a pin could be heard, Candy was at a loss.

The bed had collapsed...

One carp jump could cause the bed to collapse.

She’d done carp jumps so many times before.

Looking at Candy, then the bed, Zero gloomily said:

"You’re done for, you’ve caused a big mess."

Without waiting for Candy to say anything, with Candy watching, Zero left the bedroom.

Where he was going, what he was doing, was obvious.

Sure enough, in less than three minutes, Candy saw sis-in-law and her brother coming up just after she had changed her clothes.

Like a child who had made a mistake, Candy stood against the wall quietly, head down and fingers fiddling.

Ruffling his hair, Mo Jingchun glanced at Candy and sighed.

"Are you alright?"

"No..." The voice was as thin as a mosquito, clearly feeling guilty and lacking confidence.

Mo Jingchun bent over for a close inspection; the crossbeam on the air bed had broken.

It was just propped up by the safe under the bed, or else the entire bed would be split in half.

"Store the safe properly, I’ll have someone come and give you a new bed this afternoon. You’ll temporarily stay in your sister’s room these days. Once the new bed airs out, it’ll be fine when you return on holiday next time."

"Oh~"

"Don’t just stand there, hurry up and brush your teeth, wash your face, and have breakfast. You still need to see your sister at the hospital after that, and when you come back, you need to do homework."

This time, facing her brother’s urging to do homework, Candy dared not refute at all.

No choice, completely lacking confidence.

After her brother and sis-in-law went downstairs, Candy breathed a sigh of relief while looking at Zero with resentful eyes.

"Zero, you really ran fast."

With a small sigh, Candy squatted down to try and move the safe, but it was obviously stuck by the bed, and Candy couldn’t budge it at all.

"Stop watching, come help, let’s move the safe to sister’s room."

Hearing this, Zero shrugged his shoulders, walked over, and lifted the safe out with one hand.

Releasing his hand, the previously intact bed completely broke when the safe was moved.

With a thud, the bed fell onto the floor.

Frightening Bun, who darted out in a flash.

Zero glanced back indifferently and said:

"Anyway, you’re getting a new one, a few more loud noises won’t matter."

"I say, your safe is already full, why not cut it open and deposit it in the bank? You could even earn interest every year.

If you trust me, I could help you invest in the most cost-effective financial products."

Hugging the stainless steel box, Candy shook her head vigorously.

"No way! I trust you even less with investments! Someone in the company bought financial products and got scammed, I still remember that.

It seemed to be someone from the industrial software development department, I remember they hung a lot of red banners in the park during that time."

"That was because of a scam. Would I ever scam you?"

"Hehe o(∩_∩)o"

After confirming her brother wasn’t listening outside, Candy chuckled

"Why should I deposit? Before, I didn’t understand black cards or know their utility. But now I’ve grown up and know what they’re for."

Upon hearing this, Zero was quite surprised.

"Then why haven’t you used the black card in the past two years."

Candy grimaced like a defeated soldier, dejectedly sighing.

"I want to use it but there’re no opportunities. Is there ever a time when I pay when going out?"

"But you could convert your spending money to gold, a guaranteed safe investment."

"Zero, you’re wrong! Let me tell you a secret, my brother’s study has a lot of gold stored up."

Speaking, Candy felt like a guilty thief, recalling how she’d bitten and then put back a piece without realizing the consequences, the teeth marks still visible today.

"And with the interstellar era arriving, books have informed us about this, it’s just that the Blue Star’s gold reserves are low, but in the universe, gold is as abundant as iron. Some unimpressive meteors might be made of gold."

"Hence, Zero, find a chance to quickly have my brother sell off the gold, or he’ll face a big loss. I’m seriously suspecting brother has forgotten about the gold stowed in the study."

Candy’s suspicion wasn’t baseless; if not forgotten, how come her brother never noticed the teeth marks?
