Chapter 22: A man's ambitions reach far and wide, but my father is a boss

After seeing off the female consultant, Zhang Jie was currently studying the reward given by the simulator.

First is the simulator shop; the unlocked items inside are all related to the Order Gene Ascension System, and there happen to be quite a few good things.

Exchanging for attribute points is at a rate of 100:1, while exchanging for lifespan is 1000:1.

Exchanging for lifespan is indeed not cost-effective; that's basically forcing me to simulate, isn't it?

Zhang Jie browsed the items in the mall; those related to the Order Gene side were all available, each being a rare treasure, but as for the price...

'Alliance IV-type Intelligent Biological Warship': a small biological warship developed by the Alliance, not for sale, priceless yet unavailable on the market, capable of warp flight, 276 meters long, equipped with advanced shipboard biological intelligence, and fitted with the Alliance's most advanced anti-catastrophe biological gland turrets.

This biological intelligence can be separated into a humanoid intelligence, whose voice, personality, and biological appearance can be customized according to preference, and it can take care of your daily life and manage all affairs inside the ship.

Please treat him/her well; if abandoned, he/she may become depressed due to sorrow, even self-destruct.

The panel displayed a picture of a handsome warship, priced at 5000 points, making Zhang Jie's heart itch.

After all, there's a saying that goes well: a car is a man's face, and this saying applies just as well in space.

Who could refuse a biological warship that's handsome to the point of exploding!

Moreover, buying it comes with a complimentary customizable biological form! What's the difference between that and buying a car and getting a wife!

Zhang Jie swallowed his saliva; his original warship had been blown up, so it was just the right time to get a new one...

Oh no! My fingers are out of control!

Zhang Jie trembled with his fingers, constantly moving toward the purchase button, his heart torn.

Beep!

'Purchase successful!'

Zhang Jie ultimately couldn't stop his sinful fingers, spending half of his simulator points to buy this warship.

'Please select your customized biological form!'

'Female form/Male form'

Zhang Jie decisively chose the female form.

'Please select the voice and emphasis of the form!'

'Voice: gentle/sweet/sensual/mature'

'Form: petite/youthful/mature lady/Cao Cao-type'

Hiss!!!

Zhang Jie's eyeballs violently vibrated, constantly rotating among these eight options.

After a fierce internal struggle, Zhang Jie ultimately chose youth and sweetness...

'Please select the gender of the biological form: male/female'

Zhang Jie:?

Come on, man, what the hell is this!

After all this, can it still be male?

What the heck is 'Ultimate Little South Brew'?

Looking at this strange and weird option, Zhang Jie fell into contemplation.

So, does anyone actually choose this option?

With a doubtful mindset, Zhang Jie ultimately still chose female.

Nothing else, this fetish is just for perverted rich people to play with; I can't even bear it myself.

'Purchase successful!'

'This warship has already docked near you at the Alliance Giant Shipyard A-18 Port; please sign for it.'

'Not bad, not bad!'

Zhang Jie nodded satisfactorily, deciding to go check out his beloved warship later.

Afterward he began researching attribute points, only to surprisingly discover that this thing is even more awesome than imagined.

It's not like I imagined, where it would add points to a certain attribute of mine; instead, it can add points to my life level or realm!

Besides that, it can also add points to surrounding things, letting them directly enter the next level.

These hundred attribute points are simply a huge fortune!

For example, I can now use a single attribute point to directly break a first-level gene lock; breaking a second-level gene lock requires 1+2 attribute points, and so on.

Zhang Jie directly spent 55 attribute points, instantly raising himself to a tenth-level gene warrior!

Feeling the surging genetic primal energy within his body, Zhang Jie was overjoyed; the realm stronger than even the strongest human in the simulator just appeared on him like that.

Zhang Jie now feels that with a single punch he can knock that idiot leader who's been nagging above his head into an idiot.

And after the breakthrough, his body at this moment reminded Zhang Jie that he needed to replenish food; just as Zhang Jie was about to go eat heartily, the ward door opened again.

The visitor was a middle-aged man with a somewhat stern expression, wearing a suit and a full beard; this person was Zhang Jie's father.

'How are you? Any injuries?'

He said this while approaching Zhang Jie's side, lifting Zhang Jie's hand and patting left then right; upon seeing the lively Zhang Jie, his expression visibly relaxed.

'Nothing major, just the ship bought on a fifty-year loan blew up.'

'Can only say it's not surprising that a ship bought on a fifty-year loan still has decent safety performance.'

Zhang Jie said with a smile, looking at his own father feeling somewhat sentimental.

Even his simulator counterpart could be considered to have had a rough fate, but fortunately in reality his parents are still very healthy.

Although life is somewhat ordinary, it's fine to be ordinary, and he hasn't had such a tumultuous life.

'Alright, as long as there's no problem.'

'I've settled the order with the Alliance side, pushing it to tomorrow night.'

'Tomorrow night the Alliance just happens to be holding a victory celebration; we can discuss it then at the party.'

Don't drop the chain again, eh.

Zhang Jie's father patted his shoulder, but Zhang Jie pondered for a moment and then spoke to him.

Dad, I plan to quit my job.

Quit? What do you want to do?

Cough.

Zhang Jie thought, he already had such an awesome simulator; just taking the simulator to exchange for some technology would be a huge profit, and moreover, with his level-ten genetic warrior strength, who would still want to work for a living?

A man with ambition looks to the four directions; the universe is so vast, I want to go out and make my mark.

Zhang Jie puffed out his chest, and beside him, Zhang Jie's father looked at him with an increasingly strange gaze.

Go out and make your mark? You kid, haven't you been addled by a natural disaster?

What's up, old man? I just think I should go out and seek adventure; why say such unpleasant things?

Zhang Jie's father raised his eyebrows, his gaze growing ever stranger, and he seemed to be pondering something again.

After a moment, he silently nodded to himself, as if having made some decision.

I had wanted to train you a bit more, but forget it—since you've said all that, I'll lay my cards on the table.

Actually, I'm the boss of Cold Mountain Group (the company where the protagonist works)! And you! My son! You are the young master of the entire group, my sole heir!

Zhang Jie stared blankly for a while, then looked at his own old man with a look of disdain.

Dad, have you been drinking too much fake liquor? How can you say such nonsense?

You're barking! How dare you speak to your father like that!

Zhang Jie's father gave him a tap on the head, then raised his head proudly and said.

I just wanted you to grow up as an ordinary person, so you wouldn't lack ambition later—never mind! Let me show you the evidence!

Zhang Jie's father, full of confidence, opened his own communication device and pulled up the group's information credentials for Zhang Jie to see.

And Zhang Jie's father is none other than the group's largest shareholder!

What a mess!

How about it, do you believe it now?

Listen, whether you acknowledge it today or not, it doesn't matter—you must secure this deal for me!

Zhang Jie looked bewildered—no, my ordinary‑person dad is actually a group boss?

No! Then what was all the hardship I've endured since childhood for!

He has gone through every ordinary person's experience without omission—now what the hell is going on!

All that could be seen was Zhang Jie's father pondering for a moment, then arriving at a conclusion.

Are you just being greedy?
