Chapter 36 "The Real and Fake Heiresses" The real heiress will sit on the judging panel (Chapter 19...)
"Aaaaaah!" The system couldn't bear to look anymore.
The entire backstage audience was cheering for the female lead to tear the male lead apart. Anyone who knew the male lead would have thought he was some cannon fodder supporting character pulled from some corner...
"Hahaha! I remember the male protagonist of this world is one of Xiao Qi's pillars. Xiao Qi, is this also part of your plan? Hahaha!"
"Ugh! They're treating our Qin Tui like a wronged child! They finally opened a new world, and this is what they show us!"
"Qin Ma can't take it anymore. 7418, you're really something, trying to promote the mission taker while diminishing the male lead's aura, huh?"
"What kind of numerical monster is this mission taker? He says four years and it's four years, he says ten years and it's ten years. His words are law, he's a reincarnation of a dragon overlord. 7418, do you dare to watch?"
"I can't take it anymore! Baby, you were born into a small world, a delicate ornament with no control over your own destiny. It's bad enough that Mommy can't take you with her, but I have to watch you suffer like this!"
"Stop spending! Stop spending! Qin fans will never spend a single penny on your 7418!"
system:……
Is this what it was thinking?
The second world attracted unprecedented traffic, but it also brought unprecedented problems—its mainstay!
As an entertainment-oriented live observation program, it is impossible for it to lack popular, regular characters.
Unlike Lu Jing'an, the male protagonist of the first world, who had a somewhat "rustic" feel and was not easy to gain popularity, Qin Nian, the male protagonist of this world, is very popular and has a lot of loyal fans. He was a top student in school and a scientific research leader in society.
His invincible strength is the cornerstone of his popular persona. With such a "dark history," I wonder how many scandals have been exposed and circulated online!
The system is heartbroken right now, and even data traffic can't comfort it, since all that traffic was earned by sacrificing its fallen male lead!
It clearly feels the same way as Qin fans right now, yet it's being criticized for this!
Moo—
The system was heartbroken, but in its despair, it shared the same question as Qin's fans: why was Ye Xiqing's behavior so exaggerated?
She was clearly scanned in the original world and didn't have any outstanding stats, so how come she's more powerful than the male lead with the highest stats in the whole series once the plot unfolds!
The system, unwilling to give up, checked Ye Xiqing's various data again, and found that even his IQ did not exceed the normal value. This is unreasonable!
It couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Ye Xiqing was engrossed in a new experiment when she heard the system's question. She looked up and said, "Aren't you underestimating me a little? I've lived two lives, after all. Even if my IQ is average, is it a problem that I'm a little smarter than others?"
"But where does research ability come from? It's purely based on individual intelligence, isn't it!"
"No, I don't think so. It feels like you can learn it just by studying it. Where did the conclusion that scientific research requires intellectual support come from? Is there any data to support it?"
Does this even need data to support it? Isn't it just a matter of course?
But if you keep pressing, it seems Ye Xiqing will become very smug!
The system could only look at Ye Xiqing in exasperation: "Then, host, didn't you ever think about the possibility of not figuring anything out in the fourth year and being humiliated by the male lead instead?"
"Yes, that's why I didn't choose a medical problem that's very difficult to solve. Menstrual cramps don't even kill people, so how could they be a difficult disease to solve?"
"What will you do if you just can't develop it?"
Ye Xiqing stopped what she was doing, looked at the system, and showed an expression she had never seen before: "Turn off the live stream first, and I'll tell you."
system:?
Is there something you can't say?
"You turn it off first."
The system was filled with doubts, but it was too curious. After thinking for a long time, it still followed Ye Xiqing's request and briefly disconnected the live stream.
Ye Xiqing: "Is it really closed?"
System: "It's really off! Tell me quickly! Every second it's off wastes a lot of data!"
Hearing that it had really shut down, Ye Xiqing felt relieved and looked up directly at the system—
"When the host can't do it, this system will take over. You're supposed to be a wish-fulfillment system, not a cowardly one. You've even forgotten that we're supposed to be a community of shared interests by using your position for personal revenge! You idiot!"
system:…………
After an unknown period of silence, the live stream resumed, and the chat erupted in excitement.
"???"
"What did you say?"
"Is there anything our esteemed VIPs can't hear?"
"Release him now! Or we'll file a complaint!"
system:……
It's like a celebrity throwing a tantrum, yelling at you and then having to edit your work—a completely unjust situation for the workers...
So who betrayed our alliance of interests first?
...
Since the day of the "live broadcast incident," the system has been completely silent.
After her father's death, Ye Xiqing naturally inherited the Ye family, reaching another peak in her life and fulfilling the conditions for her to leave the world.
Ye Xiqing regretted that she should have worked harder to let her father live a few more years.
This world is so wonderful, with top-tier wealthy families and top-notch academic resources. I can't even imagine how glorious her life would become if I brought it all back to her world.
But everything has its end, and people have their deaths. When the time comes, there's no need to force it.
She had no regrets in this world, and could use this remaining body to do something meaningful.
...
Ye Xueli ran as fast as she could; she wanted to get to the crime scene as soon as possible and confront Ye Xiqing.
What exactly do you want to do?!
In the most advanced ICU resuscitation room, the people active at this moment are not top medical staff, but special workers wearing special signs.
Ye Xiqing, a renowned academician of pharmacy, made countless contributions to the cause of human health throughout her life, but in her final moments, as she said in an early interview, she opened Pandora's box concerning all of humanity—
Applying gene editing technology to live experiments.
That living specimen was herself.
This challenge to the Creator also resulted in her being "divinely punished" by the Creator.
As soon as the experiment ended, Ye Xiqing's organs began to fail, and even the best medical treatments available could not stop this failure.
She seems to have paid the price for her recklessness, but no one can guarantee that her experimental data won't leak out and become the key to unlock Pandora's box.
Therefore, a special department dedicated to human safety prepared to have her family members open her heart and do her a good deed in the final moments of her life, so that she could properly explain the experimental data. Ye Xueli was the one chosen.
She didn't know why it was her, and could only pant as she walked towards the crowd.
Ji Yuxiu cried her heart out. She begged to see her daughter one last time, but the staff, though gentle, were firm and resolutely kept her outside.
Meng Xuedong is not here. As one of the heads of Qingqing Technology, she also needs to undergo inspection.
Only Ye San remained, extremely excited, his bulging eyes revealing an extreme desire: "Ye Xiqing is going to die? Hahaha! Karma!"
Ji Yuxiu cried and rebuked his heartlessness, but Ye Xueli's words were more effective: "What's there to be happy about? Even if she dies, you won't get anything. Your children won't even have the surname Ye."
"What did you say!"
In recent years, in order to counter the increasingly powerful Ye Xueli, Ye San married into another wealthy family surnamed Zhao.
But marriage alliances are for mutual benefit, and Ye Xueli could bypass him and cooperate directly with the Zhao family.
Ye San believes he is the only son of the Ye family, and his bloodline is the only legitimate heir of the Ye family, but Miss Zhao does not think so.
If he could defeat the combination of Ye Xiqing and Ye Xueli based on the so-called "legitimate bloodline," then his two older brothers would not have failed, and he would not have become the "legitimate heir of the Ye family."
Instead of going crazy with him, I'd rather kick him out, let the child take my surname, inherit my family business, and save myself the trouble of seeing his face that gets uglier and uglier with age.
And so, Ye San, who had always mocked Ye Xiqing and said that her children wouldn't even bear the surname Ye after she got married, turned out to be the first child whose surname didn't belong to Ye.
This touched a nerve with Ye San, and he immediately became frantic, wanting to attack Ye Xueli.
But the staff weren't going to take it lying down. They grabbed his hand and, before Ye San could make any more noise, they put his hand in their pocket.
Realizing the significance of this action, he was jolted awake, his mind instantly clearing, and he retreated hastily.
After passing the meaningless crowd, Ye Xueli entered the ward and saw that besides Ye Xiqing, there was an elderly woman with gray hair and an elegant demeanor sitting next to Ye Xiqing, smiling and nodding at her.
Ye Xiqing seemed to be talking to her. Hearing the noise, her expression turned somewhat strange: "You actually ended up bringing her here."
An elderly woman with short, close-cropped hair smiled at her and said, "We have assessed the people around you. Some cannot break through your defenses with gentle love, while others will follow you like fanatics, no matter what. Perhaps only this lady, who also shares the surname Ye, can reach a final connection with you. We hope our choice is correct."
"Ah, then let her come over."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xueli moved over step by step, sat between the two, and clenched her fingers.
Before coming in, she had countless questions to ask, but after coming in and facing this situation, she dared not say a word. Only the two of them were still chatting leisurely.
"Actually, I didn't fail."
"But tests have shown that all of your organs are failing."
"That has nothing to do with the experiment."
"Unrelated? But you accept it very well, as if you know it's an inevitable outcome of the experiment. Oh, no, it's also possible that we got the order wrong. You knew about the inevitable result of physical failure before you started this crazy experiment."
"Haha, you guessed it so quickly, it makes me lose face."
"I'm sorry, Academician Ye, but is this really true? May I ask you, what has threatened your life?"
"They're probably aliens."
Is it possible to get a more honest answer?
"cannot."
"Then we can only record this answer for now. Next question, what is the proof that your experiment was successful?"
"Lift up my sleeve, do you see the white spots on it?"
“My investigator reported this phenomenon to me. She explained that this symptom seemed different from the one that caused your death. However, my understanding of science is not as advanced as yours and my team's, so I cannot understand whether the mystery really lies within it.”
Ye Xiqing looked at her approvingly: "You are very perceptive. This is actually a very common X-linked inherited disease. It is not fatal, but my body has never expressed this before."
"So, your research direction is not to cure diseases using gene editing technology, but to make diseases be expressed in healthy bodies?"
"Yes, the original purpose was indeed the first one you mentioned, but my body is too healthy, and there is no sample that can be used as an experiment. Since that's the case, I simply thought of the opposite and let the diseased gene be expressed in my healthy body."
“Look, my body’s data shows that apart from this lesion, there is no other impact. I have safely and uniquely acquired this disease, which proves that I have opened up a one-way channel for gene editing. As long as the one-way channel exists, it proves that my theory is reversible. So I say, I have not failed.”
"But your entire body is failing."
"I swear to God, these are absolutely not side effects of the experiment."
"It's incredible. I don't know whether to call you a mad genius or a genius-like madman."
"Thank you for the compliment. To be honest, to those in the know, I feel somewhat undeserving of such praise."
...
The two of them chatted back and forth, seemingly not treating Ye Xueli like a human being. Ye Xueli kept her head down, her eyelashes trembling.
What did she hear? Was this a secret that an ordinary person like her could access?
The two exchanged ideas enthusiastically, quickly covering all the details, leaving only one last topic: "So, Academician Ye, could you please give me your experimental data?"
Ye Xiqing looked at her, still with a relaxed smile: "Will you destroy it after you get it?"
“Such outstanding results, you probably wouldn’t believe me if I said I would destroy them, but I assure you, they will be used where they are needed.”
Why should I believe you?
"Because many people covet this item, yet I am the first to come to your side, which represents my strength."
“And a long time ago, when I was a little girl, I was also your fan.”
"I've heard that you've always been more tolerant of your fans, so I'd like to bet on your feelings."
Ye Xiqing moved her arm forcefully, her fingertips lightly touching, as if applauding her: "Precise and thorough, but if you're so careful, why did you let a complete stranger get close to me?"
The elderly woman looked up, and Ye Xiqing, under her gaze, shouted, "Ye Xueli!"
"ah?"
Ye Xueli stood up in a panic. So, she really had something to do?
Ye Xiqing's face shone with a final burst of energy, and she looked at her earnestly: "Ye Xueli, I need you to do something for me!"
Ye Xueli stared blankly at her, as if she had returned to the beginning, when she was still that weak and powerless "fake heiress" who lost all her strength when facing Ye Xiqing.
This is ridiculous! She would agree to do anything Ye Xiqing asked her to do, so why is it this kind of thing?
Ye Xueli was slow-witted; it always took her a long time to learn things that others were born with. But even someone as slow-witted as her knew how dangerous, bizarre, and unbelievable this matter was!
She was trembling with fear, every cell in her body screaming to escape, but Ye Xiqing kept tapping her wrist against the edge of the bed, repeating the same words—Ye Xueli! I need you to do something for me!
The monitoring instrument, which had been running smoothly, suddenly started blaring a piercing buzz. Ye Xiqing, almost with the weight of her entire life, hoarsely made a request to her.
Ye Xueli's mind went blank for a moment, and her body nodded faster than instinct: "Mmm!"
Hearing the affirmative answer, Ye Xiqing finally calmed down. Her gaze towards her was as calm as her gradually decreasing vital signs.
"I want you to do one thing for me: remember me forever, even if I don't give you anything."
