She rested at home for two days and spent her time playing single-player games on her phone.
Zheng Lanxiang, who was watching the news on the sofa at set times, suddenly shouted in the living room: "Xiao Yin, come and see!"
Jiang Shuyin thought something had happened, so she quickly ran out to check and found that the person was still sitting on the sofa. She then looked around.
Zheng Lanxiang: "I brought you here to watch the news, a special report on Tibet."
Okay, the crisis is over. Jiang Shuyin glanced at the news headline: "The Shule people have agreed to join our country and become the 57th ethnic minority."
The background behind the reporter was a yurt, not close by. From a distance, it looked like a scenic area with a strong ethnic flavor, but in fact, under the white tarpaulin was a dirty and disgusting ruin.
The middle-aged man negotiated with government officials with a blank expression. His inherent arrogance was evident in his words and actions. As he spoke, his name appeared below the screen—Eliquin.
Elikun: "Ms. Gu Xiao is my fiancée. She voluntarily stayed to live with me. As for the others, it's all a misunderstanding. I never expected my people to do such things. They will be punished accordingly. I hope this will not affect our future cooperation."
Schuler's collaboration with Country Z will usher the world into the Fourth Industrial Revolution, a leap that is extremely high, directly elevating the world from the simple Internet age to the interstellar civilization depicted in the novel.
People no longer need mobile phones or computers to work. They only need to have a chip, made by the country and provided by the Shuler tribe, implanted under the skin of their arm. When using it, they only need to press the chip to bring up a light screen. They can operate it in touch mode like playing on a mobile phone, or they can control it remotely with their brain. The latter is more difficult than the former and requires a certain amount of mental strength.
Moreover, the Shuler tribe possesses globally groundbreaking technologies in transportation, medicine, and weaponry. Their magnetic levitation cars directly replace petroleum- and battery-powered vehicles, and mission participants carry magnetic levitation skateboards for travel, thus solving problems related to resources and materials.
Cell regeneration and organ customization technologies have made the cure of many diseases no longer just a concept. The weapons are even more terrifying. The least powerful ones are somewhat like air bombs on Earth, absorbing oxygen within a radius of hundreds of meters and releasing temperatures of up to thousands of degrees, which would destroy everything around them, including houses.
Country Z believes that weapons can be left unused, but they cannot be absent.
This series of techniques allowed Schuler to obtain legal status. Because there was no evidence of murder, the nature of Schuler's punishment has not yet been determined.
The benefits of this are multifaceted. For example, the upgrading of automobiles requires factories to recruit workers to produce maglev cars; highly educated engineering talents are secretly selected and recruited into research institutes to produce chips, etc.
It provides a large number of jobs, and one person's salary can support a family, thus improving social stability. In the face of greater interests, personal interests must be subordinated.
"Then why is there a man with a big belly?" Zheng Lanxiang asked curiously.
A young man emerged from the news background, his bangs falling to his eyebrows. His body-hugging, temperature-controlled clothing cinched his waist, highlighting his large belly. Jiang Shu frowned, puzzled.
The boy was looking directly at the camera, and Jiang Shuyin lowered her eyes.
A reporter's question came from the television: "What's wrong with his stomach? Would you mind telling us?"
In fact, Eliquin wanted to tell the whole world, but his son stopped him, and Avery shook his head.
Eliquin rarely does anything against his son's wishes. He told reporters, "It was Avery who persuaded me to cooperate with you; the hope of the new generation rests on him..."
Zheng Lanxiang muttered to herself as she watched TV, "Both father and son are strangely handsome, but they don't seem very honest, and most women can't handle them."
After the news finished airing, the news in Anshi also broadcast the same story. Zheng Lanxiang didn't want to see it repeated, so she glanced at the time and said, "I'll go cook. You look pale. You must have been depleted last month. I'll make you some brown sugar glutinous rice balls so you can feel more comfortable when you have your period."
Jiang Shu frowned slightly, glanced at the time, and realized that her period was already half a month late.
During the meal, Zheng Lanxiang asked again, "Has Xiao Xie been chatting with you these past few days? He's all alone here, it's quite pitiful. Why don't you invite him over for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so we can all have some fun together?"
Jiang Shuyin, preoccupied, nodded: "I know."
It was late at night.
After putting her three children to sleep, she lay in bed still thinking about it. The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, and she even began to doubt whether she had actually had a relationship with Avery while she was unconscious.
She sat up abruptly, pulled up the calendar on her phone, and saw that just two weeks ago she was still in Schuler, in the same tent as Avery.
Jiang Shuyin frowned, staring at the bed sheet in a daze, pondering repeatedly.
Could it be that Avery took the egg?
"system?"
There was no response, so Xie Yin must be nearby.
On a whim, Jiang Shu opened the map on her phone and checked the distance from Garden Community to Xie Yin Community—3KM.
"..." She threw what she was holding aside and slammed it straight back onto the bed, when a sudden inspiration struck her.
So when Avery stood up and straightened up at the banquet that day, he was actually showing off his belly!
