This morning, the top trending topic on StarNet was the back-to-school rankings on Dixing.
That evening, the marriage alliance announced by the Shu and Tao families once again topped the list.
Through their respective official business networks, the two companies first announced their partnership on a new gene needle project, and then each also announced the engagement of their children.
The official statement declared that the two companies have joined forces, and their future relationship will be even better and closer, with an unbreakable bond.
Such a formal business collaboration announcement, given that neither of them are celebrities, wouldn't generate much buzz so quickly.
But Hu Tiantian's efforts to push the topic to the top of the trending searches were unstoppable.
This trending topic remained on the StarNet, where information changes at lightning speed, for a whole night.
Countless men and women lamented on the StarNet, saying they had been heartbroken.
Similarly, countless netizens sent their blessings.
There is also much discussion about this brand-new gene injection. Unlike other gene-enhancing injections on the market, this one mainly targets appearance; in layman's terms, it can also be called a cosmetic injection.
Humanity has evolved to the point of interstellar travel over tens of thousands of years, and the beauty industry has always been the most lucrative sector for millennia.
Those who have seen the two of them joked that, given Shu and Tao's good looks, it's quite convincing that their companies would launch this beauty injection.
If a few injections could make someone look like them, who wouldn't want to get them? After all, the price is significantly cheaper than gene enhancement injections.
When Luo Zilin saw this trending topic, she was lying in a suite at a top hotel, smoking a cigarette after sex.
Although the events at noon made her lose her way for the future for a moment, the respectful attitude of Butler He when he called back after verifying the information she had sent restored Luo Zilin's confidence after her rebirth.
Lying beside her was a handsome young man who looked at Luo Zilin with a docile expression.
“Zilin,” the young man said in a low voice, with a hint of bitterness, “why don’t we go register our marriage?”
This young man was picked up by Luo Zilin at a bar.
The "Xiao Yan" introduced by Butler He was so obviously a fake that Luo Zilin rejected him the moment she saw him.
Before my rebirth, encountering someone like "Xiao Yan" was one thing; it was a mutual agreement, a matter of living for the moment and having fun.
But now that she has seen the real young master of the Shu family, she no longer cares about those ridiculously poorly made counterfeit products.
Even the simplest thing—her height—is at least 20 centimeters different from the real person's. How dare she come out and sell herself, calling herself "Xiao Yan"?!
She remembered that in the Boundless Bar on the Imperial Star, there was a singer who later became famous and was still singing in the bar. In her previous life, after that singer became famous, Luo Zilin had listened to his singing through the screen and admired him. So, based on the principle of not letting the good stuff go to outsiders, she spent a lot of money to pick him up in advance.
Unexpectedly, the young man was quite shrewd; after sleeping with her once, he asked to marry her.
In the previous generation, she might have been moved to agree with it with tears in her eyes, but in this generation?
"You want to marry me?" Luo Zilin smiled indifferently. "You don't want to be a singer to fulfill your dream anymore, you want to be the man behind me?"
The young man nodded and then shook his head: "Even after I marry you, I can still sing. You are you, and dreams are dreams. They are different."
"you love me?"
The young man nodded again: "I fell in love with you at first sight."
Luo Zilin naturally didn't believe such nonsense.
It's more likely that he fell in love at first sight with the star coins she had just thrown away.
“But I don’t want to marry you. You should just focus on singing.” With that, she opened her personal terminal and saw the news that the Shu and Tao families were going to collaborate on a new gene injection.
Luo Zilin read the message again, her brows furrowing deeply.
This cosmetic injection was clearly launched by a different biotechnology company in the previous life, and the timeline is wrong; it should have been launched thirty years later.
She clearly remembers that at that time, when she was 48 years old, she also carefully calculated every month how much money she could save to get an injection every year to maintain her youth.
Two memory lapses in one day made Luo Zilin realize that many things might be changing.
She also wanted to gather some of the opportunities she knew about in her previous life in advance.
However, she has very few people at her disposal now. Apart from Butler He and Lou Renyu, the precognitive ability user, she has almost no one else to rely on.
Thinking about it, she turned to the young man beside her and smiled, saying, "Are you interested in doing a part-time job to earn some extra money? Don't worry, you'll earn hundreds of times more than you do now."
***
Lou Renyu smoked a cigarette in the smoking area downstairs in the hotel, using a silent air purifier.
He's currently playing the role of Luo Zilin's devoted fanboy driver. Luckily, Luo Zilin doesn't like him because she's from the same neighborhood, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to keep up the act.
The system kept chattering in his mind.
He ignored him completely and kept smoking.
The high-tech air purifier effectively filtered out the smell of smoke, not only eliminating the smell of secondhand smoke but also making the smell of the smoke that Lou Renyu was smoking seem less noticeable.
So Lou Renyu threw away his cigarette and sat down to drink coffee.
[Host, you should accept and complete the mission we discussed earlier. Otherwise, if the female supporting character goes to Planet 832, you will miss a month.]
Lou Renyu took a sip of coffee.
[Host, the Imperial Star is not your home turf. Since getting close to the female supporting character is not a viable option right now, why not just go straight to her finale? As long as there's a result, our judgment will remain unchanged.]
Lou Renyu took another sip of coffee.
[Host, once you leave the Imperial Star and arrive in the Chaotic Interstellar Space, everyone there will be your people. With your special abilities, you won't need to fear Shu Yan at all.]
Lou Renyu finished his coffee, but the system got a little anxious when it saw that he was still indifferent and unresponsive.
[Host, if you continue like this, both you and I will be eliminated!]
Lou Renyu finally smiled: "Oh, so you're afraid of dying too. That makes things easier."
system【……】
I have a feeling that this host has dug a huge pit and is waiting for it to jump in.
"Let me put it this way," Lou Renyu said slowly, his fingers tracing the rim of his coffee cup, "I think my intelligence is decent enough; at least I can understand a complete story or plan with a cause, process, and result. We really don't need to play those ancient quest systems. Times are changing, and we need to keep up with the times. Just tell me your plan. Why did you want me to force Tao Yao into a relationship with the Fifth Prince and then take her to the Chaotic Interstellar Space? Also, is Luo Zilin, whom you chose, a heroine from a good and beautiful story, or an evil one? And what is her role?"
He moved his coffee cup to the automatic coffee refill machine next to him, poured himself another cup, and smiled: "If you don't tell me the truth today, or at least the truth that I think is logical, then I'll go find Shu Yan today and dig you out of my head."
“At worst,” he laughed cruelly, like a demon from hell, “we can all perish together.”
