Chapter 104
Si Chen put everything into his backpack then he followed White King to leave.
Song Ziyu, who was standing outside, immediately stood up. The joy on his expression was obvious. “Grea-…Teacher!”
Among the Great Families, the Song Family wasn’t actually the worst. But they obviously weren’t worthy of the top title.
Song Bai was the Song Family’s current true patron saint.
And therefore, Song Ziyu was also the person who cared most about Song Bai’s safety.
Song Bai gave a slight nod. “The exam is over. Please leave the exam venue in an orderly manner. The results will be announced on the official website in a few days. Everyone, please disperse.”
With that said, he opened the Red Shadow’s car door and got in.
All the greeting gifts he’d received from the Children of God were still with Si Chen. Si Chen hesitated for a moment whether to follow or not.
However, Chen Zhizhou came over quickly and said slowly, “Why don’t you catch a ride with me? I’ll be passing by Jiangchuan on my way back to the Chen Family home. It’s on the way and while we’re at it, I can pay you that salary.”
Lin Jiali raised her phone, a QR code on the screen. “Si Chen, add me! Tell me your address later and I’ll send those things to you.”
She was referring to the two Level 7 gene medicines.
Lin Jiali was even prepared to send over a few more. Not just because Si Chen helped her in the Space Fold, but also as a sort-of investment.
A few days ago, Si Chen could only be described as a university graduate with good grades and an outstanding employee of the Serpent Staff Gene.
Now, he was White King’s only student. And White King has no children.
Once a teacher, always a father.
Si Chen’s net worth has skyrocketed and his status was simply incomparable to before. His was now a standing not at all inferior to the direct descendants of some Great Families.
As for how high Si Chen can stand in the future, first, it depends on Si Chen’s own ability; second, it depends on how much White King values this student.
If he becomes no more than one of White King’s hundred adopted sons, if Si Chen is unable to succeed, he would not be of much concern.
The two added each other as friends. After a while, a bunch of friend requests came in. They were all from the test candidates this time.
Si Chen was about to get into Chen Zhizhou’s RV, when behind him, Song Bai drove the SUV over and pressed the horn.
Song Bai rolled down the window. “Get in the car.”
Si Chen’s eyes revealed a bit of wariness.
Song Bai tapped his fingers on the steering wheel. “It’s free this time.”
Si Chen thought for a moment and finally got in.
White King must want the remains of the Children of God. He’ll probably also explain the admission procedures during the ride.
This time, he was sitting in the passenger seat.
As soon as Si Chen fastened his seat belt, he heard Song Bai sigh, sounding melancholy, ” Xiao Chen.”
It was rare for anyone to call him so affectionately.

Si Chen felt a little uncomfortable. “Hm?”
“Qbc’a sbe ulnf ylgat obg Kfjmtfg?”

From a physiological point of view, men cannot give birth.
But artificial wombs have been developed a long time ago. It was surgically installed first and then you are able to conceive naturally.
The only problem is that men could still not produce eggs. But this is not a big problem. Artificial wombs can be used for gene transformation.
In fact, with the current technology, it is completely possible to reproduce in vitro and let the fetus grow up in a test tube. But this caused many moral and ethical issues. Therefore it is absolutely prohibited from a legal perspective.
Song Bai’s expression was smiling, “Do you want to marry Teacher? That’s fine too.”
…
Si Chen’s expression was far from happy. It was even a little scary.
Marrying Song Bai would indeed bestow upon him an instant class leap. But in terms of cost performance ratio, it wasn’t as good as marrying Ji Chuyao.
After all, Song Bai was 191 years old and might leave at any time. His enemies though would still be alive, solid, steady and flourishing.
When the time comes, he would be left an orphan and a widower, guarding a family fortune worth hundreds of billions. Who knows how he’d be bullied by those Song Bai leaves behind?
Ji Chuyao was different. Young, well-educated, and with good genes. His family relationships too were simple and pure. Even if he is unable to gain control over the Machine Core Group in the future, his life won’t be much worse off. But most importantly, Ji Chuyai had a good personality and wasn’t as unpredictable as White King.
No matter how rich you are, everyone only has one stomach and needs only one bed to sleep on. Too much and you wouldn’t be able to fit all that in.
If he wanted to change his destiny by marrying into a wealthy family, he could have married long before. Why did he even have to work so hard to take the postgraduate entrance exam?
Song Bai: “Okay, I won’t tease you anymore. Teacher knows how to behave professionally.”
Si Chen replied slowly, “Really, Teacher?”
“En, I want to find someone to give birth to Xi He,” Song Bai said calmly, “But forget it, you aren’t suitable.”
The main reason wasn’t because Si Chen was unwilling but because of the cannibalistic nature of the Eternal Life Abyss.
The one in Si Chen’s body would definitely eat Xi He and his Eternal Life Abyss.
Si Chen looked shocked. “Can Xi He be born?”
“It’s not for certain but his consciousness is relatively intact. Maybe he can sneak across this way.”
“Also, this isn’t technically a birth. It’s called dimensionality reduction.”
Song Bai’s eyes fell on Song Ziyu’s RV in the distance.
He drove over and honked at Song Ziyu.
Song Ziyu poked his head out of the cockpit with a very respectful expression on his face. “Teacher, is something the matter?”
Song Bai said, “My car is out of gas. Please drop me off at Baidi City.”
Si Chen glanced at console’s fuel gauge: 94%.
He had gained a deeper understanding of Song Bai’s ability to tell lies with a straight face.
Song Ziyu said, “Of course.”
The two waited for a while, and then the trunk of the RV opened, revealing a small, empty garage. It looked wide enough to accommodate two cars.
The ramp automatically unfolded and Song Bai drove the car into the back compartment.
There was a small door from the garage that led directly to the living space of the RV.
The RV had a ceiling height of 3 meters and the overall interior was composed of wood. There was a sofa, a coffee table, a refrigerator and a housekeeper robot standing in the corner.
If it weren’t for the car window next to him, Si Chen wouldn’t even believe he was in a car.
This RV looked more comfortable than his current apartment. You know, when he moved into his new staff residence, he had happily taken several photos.
Damn it, he was going to start hating the rich again.
Song Bai sat on the sofa, a very friendly expression on his face. “Xiao Ziyu.”
Song Ziyu brought his hands together and stood aside politely. “Teacher, I am yours to command.”
Song Bai shifted slightly and his expression turned serious. “I need you to help me with something. But this matter will cause you to suffer a lot of misunderstandings and you cannot explain it to the outside world. In the short term, this will reap you no benefits, but it will allow the Song Family to continue to prosper.”
He stared into Song Ziyu’s eyes. “Are you willing?”
Song Ziyu’s heart suddenly trembled.
In fact, there had been rumors within the family that White King had long stopped considering the Song Family as his own. There was absolutely no need for the Song Family to persist in losing money over him.
But Song Bai was a Song Family ancestor and the embodiment of the Song Family’s most glorious past. The time when White King had been the head of the family was also the time the Song Family’s backs were straightest. How could they not miss this?
The system within the family has changed again and again over the years, but there was no way to regain that past. The reason simply being that they had no White King who could fight.
The head of the Song Family is nominally an Evolutionary on the 7th Step. But in fact, he is on the 6.9th Step. He had never been able to break through. In terms of combat effectiveness, he was simply out of the others’ league.
For someone like Si Chen who has no parents, it would be difficult for him to understand the sense of belonging these Great Family members have towards their family.
Within the Alliance, there is no concept of “country”. Many children from the Great Families are taught to regard their family as equivalent to their ‘country’.
The Song Family has been fawning over White King in vain for so long that they were beginning to lose hope. Unexpectedly, Song Ziyu saw a turning point today!
Sure enough, White King would never abandon the Song Family!
No matter what, blood is thicker than water, and White King is still called Song Bai on his ID card.
Song Ziyu replied loudly, “I am willing and ready. Even if it were to mean my death, I will not hesitate.”
Song Bai smiled, “It’s not that bad. You’re not going to die. En… do you still remember that nine-headed snake in the Space Fold?”
**
In the end, Si Chen didn’t know how exactly Song Bai did it.
Because after Song Ziyu agreed, Song Bai asked Si Chen to go into the cockpit and drive.
Actually, this kind of car has an automatic control system and does not require any manual intervention at all. Not to mention there were several housekeeper robots on board.
But by saying this, Song Bai obviously wanted to send him away.
Si Chen was not unhappy about this either. What’s more, he really wanted to try driving an RV. He had taken the driver’s license test but never had the money to buy a car.
In short, when Si Chen came out of the cockpit, judging from Song Bai’s expression, Song Ziyu should already be pregnant.
Song Ziyu looked a little listless.
This was inevitable. After all, he’d just had a pregnancy in the Space Fold and though his body has yet to recover, he was already into a second pregnancy.
Si Chen couldn’t hold back and kept glancing at Song Ziyu’s belly.
Song Bai crossed his arms and looked at him sideways. His long hair hanging down, a faint smile in his eyes. “Are you curious?”
Si Chen said nothing but leaned forward slightly and looked at him straight on, his eyes clearly saying that he knew right from wrong.
Most of the time, his mood was rather steady, without much fluctuations in his emotions. He had just been born with a nice face, delicate and beautiful, the type to easily incur good favor from others.
Song Bai said, “Don’t look at Teacher like that.”
Si Chen suddenly sat up in a very dignified manner.
Song Bai: “I used No. 11’s special characteristic, asexual reproduction. This is how my father gave birth to me.”
Si Chen had already accepted the fact that Song Bai was an Eternal Life Abyss. He was momentarily stunned when he suddenly heard the words “my father” come from his mouth.
Song Bai must be referring to Mr. Song.
Si Chen thought of Turing and Ji Chuyao.
Speaking of which, he hadn’t had time to tell Ji Chuyao that he had made it out safe.
Si Chen turned on his phone and found his chat thread with Ji Chuyao’s. He thought about it and sent four words.
I passed the exam.
The rest can wait until Ji Chuyao comes out of the Space Fold.
And if Ji Chuyao didn’t ask, he would have saved a lot of typing effort.
The RV drove for a total of twelve hours and finally arrived from the wilderness to the gates of Baidi City.
Song Ziyu said, “Teacher, the roads in the city are a bit narrow. There is a gas station nearby…”
Song Bai: “Drive in and stop at the fork in the road. There’s no need to refuel, the remaining gas should be enough.”
Song Ziyu, naturally, complied.
The RV went through the security checks and entered the city. Because his was an out of state vehicle, the toll was 60,000 credits.
The RV drove about five hundred meters and the rear door opened, letting the Red Shadow parked in the garage out.
When Si Chen got back in Song Bai’s car, he suddenly had a realization. “Teacher, did you ask Song Ziyu to drive in so that he’d pay the toll?”
The toll was 60,000 credits for entering the city and 40,000 for leaving. In total, it was 100,000 credits.
Song Bai was very surprised. “You saw through that?”
Baidi City’s finances are indeed a bit strained recently. The Alliance has been imposing economic sanctions on Baidi City. Although it can be self-sufficient, it is still far from being an economic hegemon. Every bit of money it collects from outside counts.
Si Chen: “…”
Just what kind of postgraduate advisor did he choose?
Smart
Song ziyu….stay strong.
wait buy why isn’t he leaving with Song Ziyu? oh no
😂😂😂
Oh a gojo type perv with a possessive trait yup that’s too ur new teacher 😂😂
