Quick Transmigration: The Pregnant Little Fairy is Pampered by the Heirless Boss

Chapter 235 Interstellar Wilderness Star Farmer 46

When Dai Lixing returned to the Marshal's Mansion, it was already late.

The soft, warm lights inside the mansion dispelled the chill in his heart.

He strode into the living room and saw Ji Xiaosong sitting on the sofa, holding Ji Suian and humming a lullaby to lull the child to sleep.

Ji Sui'an's little face was pressed against his mother's chest as he slept soundly, as if all the disturbances in the outside world had nothing to do with him.

Dai Lixing tiptoed to Ji Xiaosong's side and asked in a low voice, "Is Sui'an asleep?"

Ji Xiaosong looked up, smiled slightly at him, and nodded: "Just fell asleep. How did your day go?"

Dai Lixing sat down beside her, gently stroking Sui An's face, his voice tinged with weariness: "Dai Weiyuan and his accomplices have been taken to a military court, and the rest of the Dai family have been settled. I have established the 'Dai Family Revival Fund,' hoping they can once again contribute to the Federation."

“You’ve done a great job. With the Dai family’s problem resolved, the Federation’s future will be more stable.”

Dai Lixing sighed, took Ji Xiaosong's hand, and said in a low voice, "Songsong, you were frightened by what happened today. It was my negligence that almost put you in danger."

"Don't worry, Sui'an and I are both fine. Besides, I'm not the kind of weak woman who needs your constant protection. If it really comes down to a fight, those people might not be a match for me."

Upon hearing this, Dai Lixing couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, yes, my Songsong is skilled in both literature and martial arts. Even I might not be able to beat you."

Ji Xiaosong raised an eyebrow and said with feigned smugness, "Of course. However, I discovered something interesting at the hospital today."

"Oh?"

Dai Lixing looked at her curiously, "What is it?"

Ji Xiaosong lowered his voice, his expression turning serious: "I overheard doctors at the hospital talking about a virus called 'Dawn.' It's said that this virus can break the genetic lock, giving ordinary people the opportunity to optimize their genes. But the problem is, only a few people who use 'Dawn' can evolve smoothly; most will experience genetic collapse, or even die."

"'Dawn'? I've heard of that virus. The federal government cracked down on its spread because the risks far outweighed the benefits. Why would you be interested in it?"

“I think this virus has great potential. If we can solve its side effects, it could benefit more people. As you know, the genetic limits of ordinary people restrict their development. If we can break through these limits, the overall strength of the Federation will be greatly enhanced.”

“You’re right. The Federation actually allowed ordinary people to optimize their genes a year ago, without necessarily having to use ‘Dawn.’ Studying this virus now wouldn’t be very meaningful.”

How could this virus be of little significance?

This is incredibly significant!

When Ji Xiaosong learned about this virus today, his first reaction was that it was similar to the pills used in the cultivation world to forcibly break through cultivation levels.

If she can figure it out thoroughly, she might be able to solve many problems in the future.

Even just getting modern treatment for a genetic disease would be good.

“I am still very interested in this virus. The current method of gene optimization for ordinary people in the Federation is gene editing, which takes a long time. But if I can upgrade ‘Dawn’, everyone’s gene optimization will be faster and better in the future.”

Ji Xiaosong was full of confidence. Seeing that Dai Lixing's expression had softened somewhat, she continued:

“I also have some research experience in medicine, and combined with my interest in genetics, I might be able to find a breakthrough. In addition, I have already obtained some information about ‘Dawn’ and am ready to start my research.”

“Songsong, you always surprise me. Now that you have this idea, I will fully support you. However, you must be careful and not put yourself in danger.”

"Don't worry, I'll be careful. However, researching 'Dawn' might require some resources and support, and you'll have to help me get it sorted out."

"No problem, all the resources of the Marshal's Mansion are at your disposal. Just tell me what you need."

Ji Xiaosong nodded in satisfaction, then gently placed Sui'an in the crib and covered her with a blanket.

She turned to look at Dai Lixing, a mischievous glint in her eyes: "Alright, now that we've finished talking business, shouldn't you try to comfort me? I was almost scared today."

Dai Lixing was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled: "Alright, alright, my Songsong is the oldest. How do you plan to coax her?"

Ji Xiaosong blinked, pretending to think, "Hmm... how about you cook me a bowl of noodles? I remember I taught you how to cook noodles before."

Dai Lixing shook his head helplessly and stood up: "Okay, I'll go cook you some noodles. But don't get your hopes up too high, my cooking skills are not as good as yours."

Ji Xiaosong smiled and gave him a push: "Go on, go on, I'm waiting."

In the kitchen, Dai Lixing clumsily fiddled with pots and pans, occasionally glancing back at Ji Xiaosong in the living room.

She was sitting on the sofa, flipping through information about 'Dawn', her expression focused and serious.

A warm feeling welled up in Dai Lixing's heart.

"The noodles are ready,"

Dai Lixing carried a steaming bowl of noodles to Ji Xiaosong, his tone tinged with pride, "Try it and see if you've improved compared to before?"

Ji Xiaosong took the bowl, smelled the aroma, and nodded with a smile: "Hmm, it smells good."

She picked up a piece of noodles with her chopsticks, blew on it gently, and put it in her mouth.

After chewing a few times, she looked up at Dai Lixing, her eyes full of smiles: "Not bad, it seems your cooking skills have indeed improved."

Dai Lixing breathed a sigh of relief and sat down next to her: "That's good. I was worried you'd dislike it."

One year later, at the Main Planet Medical School.

Ji Xiaosong stood in front of the transparent isolation window of the laboratory, her gaze fixed intently on the petri dishes inside.

In the petri dish, the pale blue liquid faintly glows with fluorescence; it is a sample of the "Dawn" virus, which has undergone countless improvements.

After a year of hard work, she and her team finally minimized the side effects of "Dawn" while retaining its powerful ability to break the genetic lock.

"The data is out!"

A researcher ran over excitedly, holding a freshly printed report. "Ms. Ji, the genetic stability of the latest batch of experimental subjects has reached 98.7%, far exceeding expectations!"

Ji Xiaosong took the report, quickly glanced through it, and smiled slightly: "Very good, it seems we are on the right track."

She turned to her team, her voice tinged with excitement: "Everyone, this year's hard work has paid off. The upgrade of 'Dawn' is nearing completion. All that's left is the final clinical testing before it can be officially put into use."

A cheer erupted in the laboratory.

Over the past year, they have worked day and night, experiencing countless failures and setbacks, and finally saw the dawn of success.

"Miss Ji, you are truly amazing!"

A young researcher exclaimed sincerely, "Without your guidance, we simply could not have achieved such results in such a short time."

Ji Xiaosong smiled slightly and said humbly, "This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. I only provided a direction; the real credit belongs to each and every one of you."

She checked the time and said to the team, "That's enough for today's work. Everyone should go home and get some rest. Tomorrow we'll start preparing the application materials for the clinical trials."

The researchers nodded in agreement and left one after another after packing up their experimental equipment.

Ji Xiaosong stayed in the laboratory and carefully checked all the equipment and data to ensure that everything was in perfect order.

It was already dark when she walked out of the laboratory.

Dai Lixing's hovercar was parked in front of the medical school. He leaned against the car, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hands, looking at her tenderly.

"Thank you for your hard work, Songsong."

Dai Li walked up to her and handed her the flowers. "Congratulations, you have finally completed the 'Dawn' upgrade."

Ji Xiaosong accepted the flowers with a bright smile on her face: "How did you know I finished today?"

Dai Lixing smiled and put his arm around her shoulder: "I'm your husband, I'm very well-informed. Besides, I've seen all your hard work this year. On such an important day, of course I had to come and pick you up in person."

Ji Xiaosong leaned on his shoulder and whispered, "Thank you, Li Xing. Without your support this year, I wouldn't have had the support of the medical school."

Dai Lixing shook his head, his tone firm: "This is your dream, how could I not support it? Moreover, the success of 'Dawn' is of great significance to the Federation. You have not only achieved your own goal, but also made a huge contribution to the future of the Federation."

Ji Xiaosong raised her head, a sly glint in her eyes: "Then...shouldn't you reward me?"

Dai Lixing raised an eyebrow: "Oh? What kind of reward do you want?"

Ji Xiaosong blinked, pretending to think, "Hmm... how about you take me to that newly opened starry sky restaurant? I heard the food there is really good."

Dai Lixing chuckled: "Is that all you're asking for? I thought you'd ask for a much bigger reward."

Ji Xiaosong gently pushed him: "Go quickly, I'm hungry."

Dai Lixing smiled and opened the car door, making a gentlemanly "please" gesture: "Yes, madam."
