Chapter 926 – Wanting Two at Once
After debriefing the four Provincial Governors, it was already 5 PM.
When the four provincial offices were made, it would reduce their workload by half, as a new layer of governnt would be added.
Before which, the Imperial Court had to take care of the two overseas provinces and 20 prefectures. After doing so, it would beco six provinces, Zhili, Qiongzhou, Yizhou, and Xingzhou Prefectures.
Hence, it would greatly increase the Imperial Court efficiency.
...
Sending away Jun Yu, Ouyang Shuo handled three morials before returning to his back palace.
During dinner, Song Jia looked a little weird. She wanted to say sothing but was hesitating. When Ouyang Shuo saw that, he smiled, “Just say it, what do you need to hide from ?”
“Wuyi, I want a baby.” Song Jia said softly.
Ouyang Shuo was stunned, “You an you want a kid in the ga?”
If there were any systems in the ga that Ouyang Shuo was not familiar with, the children system was one of them. In the last life, he was a lonely dog and a poor man. Naturally, he did not understand anything about it.
This life he had so many matters to handle, and he did not have any ti to understand all these different settings.
When Song Jia saw that, she smiled, “Wow, there are actually things you do not know about.” As she said that, she explained in detail about the children setting.
When Ouyang Shuo heard that, he turned around and looked at Bing’er, who was looking over curiously, “Let’s talk about this tonight.”
Song Jia nodded.
After eating dinner, they strolled in the back garden for half an hour before the two of them returned to their sleeping palace.
Having a kid was expected. After all, extending the Ouyang Family bloodline would help to stabilize his rule and calm down the hearts of the people. Since Song Jia raised the topic, Ouyang Shuo naturally had no reason to reject it.
Ouyang Shuo and Song Jia both opened up their personal stat pages and officially requested it.
“System Notification: Congratulations player for activating the children system, checking for requirents...”
“System Notification: Checking...”
“System Notification: checking that player Qiyue Wuyi, real na Ouyang Shuo, male, 27; player Jiaqi Rung, real na Song Jia, female, 27. Both are legal husband and wife, eting requirents to give birth.”
When two people married in ga, Gaia would handle the legally binding marriage procedures. Hence, be it in ga or in real life, they were legally married.
“System Notification: please choose the sex of the child and whether you want twins or not.”
Since it was an artificial insemination, and thanks to the dical standards of today, they could choose the sex of their child. Luckily, in the 22nd century, male and female were equal, and children ideals were different from before.
Ouyang Shuo and Song Jia had discussed this before. Based on his idea, since they were going to give birth, why not get a dragon and phoenix twin? After all, good things ca in pairs.
Nine months of pregnancy, Ouyang Shuo did not want Song Jia to be too exhausted.
“We will choose twins.”
“System Notification: Twins confird. Will you choose gene combinations?”
The so-called gene selection was to use gene techniques to take out the bad genes like diseases and the like to ensure the battle was the best it could be.
“Choose!”
There was nothing to hesitate about.
“System Notification: Gene selection confird. Will you choose gene remodeling?”
Compared to gene selection, gene modification was more advanced. For example, if the father and mother were not that good looking, one could remodel the genes to ensure that the baby looked perfect.
The looks were the most basic, and one could even change the baby’s body qualities.
Ouyang Shuo did not hesitate and said, “Change body quality, improve bone structure to help in cultivation.”
As the true manuals in the ga were released, the ti of everyone cultivating had arrived. If one was remodeled as a child, they would have undoubtedly won at the starting line.
As for looks and other unimportant factors, Ouyang Shuo was not going to do it. It was best to be natural. Song Jia was pretty, and he was handso, so their kids should not look too bad.
“System Notification: Gene remodeling confird. Please choose whether you want to have the birth process along with the ga or not. Friendly Reminder: if you do, the mother cannot cultivate during pregnancy.”
Gaia ans that if they selected that option, Song Jia would have to experience the whole pregnancy stage. If not, after nine months, the baby would form and be placed into the virtual world.
Song Jia did not hesitate, “I choose the pregnancy process.”
Although the pregnancy process was tiring, it was the key mont for the mother and the baby to form a close relationship.
Without this, it was like life was not complete.
Especially to Song Jia, who was experiencing it for the first ti; she could not miss such an opportunity. Although she would give up on nine months of cultivation, she was more than willing to do so.
Ouyang Shuo naturally respected her choice as it was her right as the mother.
“System Notification: Confird, choices complete, starting to calculate birth costs.”
Each selection would affect the overall costs, and it was not a simple step by step costs. The biggest one would definitely be the gene selection and the gene remodeling.
“System Notification: Calculating...”
“System Notification: Selection: Twins, gene selection, gene remodeling, and going through the birth process, basic package 300 thousand, interdiate package 500 thousand, advanced package one million, and top class package two million. Please choose the package. Friendly Reminder: costs will include artificial insemination and growth of baby until we reach Planet Hope.”
Ouyang Shuo asked, “What are the differences between the packages?” Although he did not mind spending two million for his children, he did not know what he was spending it on.
“System Notification: packages includes grade of nutritional fluids, nutritional cabins, gene technique levels, daily protect level, and the like; it is definitely worth the value. Friendly Reminder: if one chooses the top class package, the babies will obtain a unique mysterious gift.”
“....”
Ouyang Shuo was pretty speechless; it was like he did not get any explanation at all. However, the advertisent for all of this was really good.
Luckily, Ouyang Shuo was rich, and he did not mind, “I choose the top class one.”
“System Notification: Selection complete, deducting two million gold! Friendly Reminder: based on the ti, the twins will be born on the 5th year, 5th month, 15th day.”
Gaia was really strong, and it was even able to calculate the precise day when the babies would be born. Although modern technology was good, it removed a lot of excitent from life.
Just like that, 2/5th of the gold he got from Somalia was spent.
No wonder one said that having kids in the ga was sothing only rich people could afford.
After applying, the two of them smiled at one another; their love had finally bore fruit.
That night, both of them felt really blissful.
************
8th month, Atlantis.
Just as Ouyang Shuo was busy seeing the four new Provincial Governors, the diterranean negotiations had a breakthrough.
The key that affected the negotiations was not the Somalia King statent.
That statent was the icing on the cake. In truth, the mont Somalia was wiped out, the pride of the diterranean Lords was wiped away too.
With Somalia and Morocco, the Great Xia Dynasty held the only two doors to the diterranean Ocean. If the Great Xia Army got angry, no rchant ships from any of their countries could get out.
This was a huge danger to the diterranean Lords, and they had no choice.
Zi Luolan, who was previously bullied, naturally would not be nice to them. As such, she took cuts at them. After they got that crucial confession, it pushed all the diterranean Lords into a corner.
A negotiation being totally turned around was a normal affair. True negotiation was not limited to the table but influenced by outside battles and differences in power.
One could say that the Great Xia Dynasty attacking Somalia was a part of the negotiations.
On this point, the diterranean Lords could only bow in respect. They were forced into a corner by Zi Luolan and had to ask Kalia for help to make Great Xia give them chance.
Not long ago, Kalia had helped Great Xia persuade them to restart negotiations. Who knew that the tables would turn so quickly.
