Chapter 639 - 240: Store Up Grain, Build High Walls, Recognize the Bandit as Father_3

Ren Zhong shook his head, "Sun bro, you’re wrong. If the child could really be born on the due date, I would allow you to take the lab and Ying to Chromium Carbon Town. But that’s impossible."

Sun Miao: "Huh? What did you say?"

"The due date for the child has to be pushed back by a month."

"Ah? Why? You don’t know squat, stop commenting on my professional field!"

Ren Zhong smiled confidently, replayed Sun Miao’s lines from last time in his mind, and then said, "She doesn’t have a ’soul.’ She’s different from an ordinary baby. She’s an unnatural product. Her genetic sequence was written by you from scratch. The fertilized egg was also assembled molecule by molecule using the Molecular Regeneration Device. Even though she might grow due to the inertia of biochemical reactions, her brain can’t generate any meaningful thoughts. Sun bro, what do you think is the probability of this scenario I’ve described occurring?"

Sun Miao shuddered, "This... But it’s also possible to generate..."

"No, don’t delude yourself. That’s impossible. But you need not despair, I’ve already done a complete simulation. Likewise, due to the inertia of biochemical reactions, her development will mostly halt in four days, but her life signs will still persist, she just won’t be able to awaken herself. At that point, all we need to do is wait."

"Wait for what?"

Ren Zhong: "While her other organs’ development stops, the development of her brain neurons will continue. In another month, her brain neurons will reach maturity. Then she will be able to handle data entry. If we buy the Molecular Regeneration Device two days beforehand, we can directly imprint a soul on her and let her awaken herself."

Sun Miao: "This..."

The more Ren Zhong spoke, the more mysterious and certain it sounded.

Sun Miao wanted to refute, but theoretically, the scenario Ren Zhong described indeed had a considerable chance of happening.

Ren Zhong smiled confidently again, "By then, the matter of the experiment will have settled, and the Mengdu Group, eager to repair relations with me, will sell us the Molecular Regeneration Device."

Sun Miao shook his head repeatedly, "That’s just theoretical speculation, but in reality... I just don’t believe it! Do you think you’re a god? I insist on moving! What are you gonna do about it?"

Ren Zhong: "Sun bro, don’t be so stubborn. I know you actually feel bad about this. You know in your heart, if you leave, no one can manage the overall situation at the town hospital during the war. I can’t find another doctor who is half as good as you. Do you really want to watch the people in Starfire Town die or be disabled for life due to the lack of proper treatment?"

"I don’t care about the savages’ life or death! I can’t accept this risk!"

"I admit there’s a risk, but I believe the risk is controllable."

"Ren Zhong, you’re too greedy!"

"It’s not greed, it’s the absolute confidence brought to me by accurate grasp of information. The cancer baby will definitely grow up, and Starfire Town will surely be saved. I won’t make a choice; I want it all. If you really don’t believe it, then let’s make a bet; we’ll wait four more days, until the deadline for the due date, and see if I’m right. If I’m wrong, I’ll let you move immediately. Anyway, there’s still time by then. If I’m right..."

Sun Miao: "I’ll damn well acknowledge you as my father on the spot! I’ll never go west if you say go east!"

...

Four days later.

Sun Miao: "Amazing! You are truly amazing. You’re the real genius here."

Ren Zhong cleaned his ear, "Stop it, genius this, genius that, I’m tired of hearing it. Call me dad, let me hear it?"

Sun Miao: "Are you a dog? Just joking. Come on, don’t take it so seriously."

"A gentleman’s word is his bond. Once a promise is made, it must be kept."

Sun Miao: "Woof woof woof, dad."

Ren Zhong: "Aye!"

As a Time Thief, using the information stolen from Sun bro to gain this godson from Sun bro felt quite satisfying.

"Wait a minute, what’s with that woof woof woof?"

"Literal meaning."

"Damn... Mutual destruction, huh?"

"What, is it not allowed?"

After a while, Ren Zhong: "Sun bro, have you truly submitted?"

"Submitted."

"Then who calls the shots from now on?"

"You are the boss."

"Very good, next, I need you to help me produce a batch of drugs. Something not fatal, but capable of moderately enhancing human potential and bursts of energy."
