Joining Forces

In this era of genetics, the topic of genes certainly brings a sense of technology to ordinary people.

In this day and age, it's undeniable that you're out of touch if you don't talk about genetics.

The subject of films about genetically modified humans has been churned out time and again, and there's nothing new about it anymore.

While the TV series "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" didn't generate much anticipation due to its genetic theme, discussions about the story have never ceased.

Despite repeated denials from the production team, information about the film and television series featuring a large number of genetically modified individuals continues to emerge.

This topic has undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention. Regardless of whether it is true or not, people will participate more or less while surfing the internet, or they will buy a copy of the newspaper if they see related rumors.

Many people also come specifically to get firsthand information.

This kind of information is not hard to access; Song Fengying's live stream has always been running.

Whenever it doesn't involve filming, this live stream has given away plenty of spoilers, and has even become the official promotional platform for the Swordsman series.

Wang Li's gambling friends also started charging for live streams featuring genetically modified individuals.

Regardless of whether they are infamous or admired, these people have earned a considerable income in the past month. Some are even seeking to purchase blood serums, while others are considering blood transfusions. Still others have emerged from their despair and begun to diligently practice Gene Fighting Technique.

As long as the topic of genetics remains popular, and gamblers can come up with new tricks from time to time, the paid live streaming rooms will continue to generate revenue.

With money, the level of Gene Fighting Technique Zhunti, attracting more people to watch paid performances, and even encouraging some to watch repeatedly, thus generating profits.

This has even become a virtuous cycle in the short term.

These people's performances not only benefit themselves, but also serve as a form of reverse propaganda for human genetic modification.

Compared to the Spider-Man, Ant-Man, Flash, Superman, Iron Man, and Giant figures in movies and TV shows, the performances of many gamblers are utterly pathetic.

This contrast makes it seem that all the information about the development of human gene projects is purely speculative capital hype, like gamblers performing a show that only marginally benefits from it. Perhaps a gene company or a pharmaceutical company will launch a new product at the appropriate time.

"You could easily release information about an exorbitantly priced drug for ordinary people at this time, misleading people into believing it's a publicity stunt orchestrated by someone behind the scenes. This would create immense disappointment and despair, and the controversy would subside again!"

Besides Luo Tianming and Chang Kongluo listening to Zhang Xuezhou's lecture, Chang Kongyinghao also came to join in the fun.

Zhang Xuezhou explained the Mental Strengthening without holding back, which pleased Chang Kongluo greatly. Chang Kongluo even felt less resentful towards Chang Kongyinghao and directly gave him some pointers on how to deal with public opinion.

"I'd like to ask you, young friend Zhang, isn't there anything else following this Mental Strengthening?"

Luo Tianming then asked Zhang Xuezhou about things that suited his own needs.

This made Zhang Xuezhou nod.

"Professor Ren has conducted research in this area to a certain standard. If you are interested in the later content, you can seek out Ren Anran or Ren Wuyang later," Zhang Xuezhou recommended. "I've only been an intern for a few years, and I've already taught you everything I can!"

"They're a bit hard to find!"

If Ren Yisheng were still alive, things would be easier for Luo Tianming and his group.

If Ren Yisheng wanted to make progress, Luo Tianming and others could reach a deal through the transfer and sharing of industry or technology.

After Ren Yisheng passed away, it became difficult for them to engage in mutually beneficial cooperation. At present, the Ren Household siblings are more focused on maintaining their position and trying to prevent the loss of related interests.

Luo Tianming and his group needed the help of the Ren Household siblings, so they couldn't use commercial exchanges or commercial sniping tactics to coerce them, lest they increase mutual animosity.

The two were even forced to live in the old mansion, making it extremely difficult to do anything.

Luo Tianming and Chang Kongluo exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with bitterness.

Clearly, if the two sides continue to be wary of each other or even scheme against each other, they will never be able to cultivate their Mental Strengthening to the required level before they die of old age.

Luo Tianming didn't know what level he would need to reach to meet the standard Luo Zhong mentioned, but he clearly knew that only by constantly moving forward could he possibly get closer to the goal Luo Zhong had set.

They need to continuously Mental Strengthening practice, and even without any means of Ren Yisheng, they still need to grope their way forward.

This was bound to be a risky path; otherwise, it would have been impossible for Ren Yisheng to have studied it for so many years and then died so young.

Is this Mental Strengthening really related to our research on genetic longevity?

Having received guidance from Chang Kongluo, Chang Kongyinghao, while feeling guilty towards his elderly father, also paid attention to the development of genetics.

If Chang Kongluo has a need for research in this area, he would obviously cooperate, rather than interfere and try to stop it.

Whenever Changkong Luo needs anything, the Changkong Lineage will still be able to cooperate and will not hesitate to provide any support they can.

"I don't know if it's relevant, but right now it's the only way for me to survive, isn't it?"

A faint sound fell from the vast sky.

He glanced at the clock hanging in the theater, then slowly stood up.

The time had come; he should return to his twilight years at his mansion.

"Change back into your uniform, now you should take me home!"

Chang Kongluo stood up and shouted, instantly bringing a sense of relief to the many special task force members who had been working as henchmen and cheerleaders on the film set.

During the three days they were allowed to exercise in Changkongluo, they couldn't get any serious work done, but miscellaneous tasks were obviously not going to be easy to do either.

After escorting Chang Kong back to the old mansion, the matter could finally be put to rest.

"I... I've finished filming my scenes, I should go back too!"

Looking at Chang Kongluo, who remained listless even after receiving Mental Strengthening, Luo Tianming couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness in his heart.

If he hadn't received information from Luo Zhong, he would have been more confident that his current impoverished state after growing old would be no different from Chang Kongluo's.

"We must keep Changkong Old Monster firmly under control and not try to outsmart him anymore. Even if he does have ulterior motives, we should only disagree with him if we meet the conditions Luo Zhong mentioned!"

His gaze drifted slightly.

The numerous powerful Lineage in Western Capital have made continuous efforts in biological genes, which has driven rapid development. This force is equally enormous when combined with Mental Strengthening.

He not only wanted to unite Chang Kongluo, but also that madman Song Xianzong, and also wanted to give Zuo Lianguang some benefits, and even unite the people who would later move into the old mansion.

Only in this way can we band together and survive!

He looked at his own black robe and thought about Ren Woxing in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, from his peak to his lowest point, and then back to his peak after escaping prison. A sense of pride welled up in his heart.

"But I will absolutely not end up like Ren Woxing!"

In the story, Ren Woxing is ambitious, but he dies from dizziness due to old age and physical weakness.

Luo Tianming didn't want to repeat the fate of someone like that.

Just thinking about Luo Zhong, who has survived to this day with only his head, fills him with almost limitless confidence.

In addition to promoting Mental Strengthening, he and Professor Luo Hui also continuously developed drug technology in an attempt to pry open Luo Zhong's mouth.

If one could open this king's mouth, it would mean immortality.

The Mental Strengthening Chapter is Chang Kongluo's only solace, but it is not his final choice.

With a two-pronged approach, he can't possibly lose.
