Chapter 242 – Secretly Sinking Underground

The next day, Su Hao brought the cultivated Gene Modification liquid to Xiao Tian.

In Xiao Tian’s room, Su Hao took out an extra-large injector and said, “Sister Xiao Tian, I’ll give you an injection first.”

Xiao Tian was clearly very scared and hesitated, not daring to come forward.

Su Hao said, “Do you want to become beautiful? If so, just close your eyes, it’ll be over in a moment.”

This sentence hit Xiao Tian’s heart. She rolled up her sleeve, revealing her fair and tender arm, then turned her face away with her eyes closed and said, “Go ahead!”

Su Hao grabbed Xiao Tian’s hand and, without hesitation, plunged the needle in.

Sister Bai, watching from the side, couldn’t help but close her eyes.

Soon, at Su Hao’s signal, Xiao Tian lay down on the bed and, after a while, slowly fell asleep.

Three hours later, Xiao Tian’s face had changed significantly compared to before. The freckles on her face had faded, and her facial structure had become more delicate and refined!

It was as if her face had been subtly adjusted with Photoshop, or perhaps she had put on makeup.

Sister Bai stared in shock at the still sleeping Xiao Tian, unable to say a word.

After another hour or so, Xiao Tian groggily woke up.

When she was fully awake, Su Hao timely handed her a mirror.

Xiao Tian took the mirror and couldn’t help but let out a sharp scream: “Ah–“

The volume was so high that Sister Bai couldn’t help but cover her ears.

But Su Hao was different. He directly reached out and covered Xiao Tian’s mouth, cutting off the source of the noise.

Su Hao said: “This is just the beginning of the beauty treatment, the changes aren’t obvious yet. In a couple of days, you’ll completely look like a sketch.”

After Xiao Tian vented, she still couldn’t calm down. Holding the mirror, her eyes never left her face. Hearing Su Hao’s words, she joyfully asked: “Can I become even more beautiful?”

Su Hao replied: “Of course!”

Then he turned and smiled at Sister Bai: “Sister Bai, do you believe now that we can do beauty business?”

Sister Bai was still somewhat in disbelief. She even reached out to pinch Xiao Tian’s face to see if it was fake. Hearing Su Hao’s words, she didn’t answer, but instead curiously asked: “Jing Zhong, where did you get that needle?”

Su Hao couldn’t tell the truth, so he just smiled and said: “If I told you I found a treasure chest and got it from there, would you believe me?”

Unexpectedly, Sister Bai nodded: “Yes!”

In reality, she didn’t believe him, but Sister Bai didn’t want to probe further. She just asked: “How many Beauty Needles can your treasure chest produce?”

Su Hao replied: “One needle per week.”

“Slap!”

Sister Bai slammed her palm on the table and loudly declared: “Deal! Let’s open a Dawn Beauty Salon!”

Su Hao immediately held up three fingers: “I have conditions, three conditions!”

“First, for the first two months, one needle per week. But after two months, it will be one needle per month;

Second, I will not be involved in public-facing matters. Sister Bai will be fully responsible for all affairs of the beauty salon and keep my secret. Besides Sister Bai, Sister Xiao Tian, and Harmony Jing Yi, no one else is allowed to know the Beauty Needle comes from me. As for what reason you use, you can make it up yourselves;

Third, I want twenty percent of the beauty salon’s profits. It will be useful later.”

Sister Bai immediately said: “Deal!”

Then she asked: “Jing Zhong, does this Beauty Needle have any side effects?”

Su Hao replied: “The side effect is being too beautiful.”

Sister Bai, as if making a resolute decision, said: “Before we open the beauty salon, Jing Zhong, give me an injection first!”

Su Hao replied: “Okay, let’s wait until next week!”

…

In just three days, everyone noticed the change in Xiao Tian.

Too beautiful, like a fairy fallen to earth, her face seemed not of this world, existing only in imagination.

But everyone knew that it was Xiao Tian, no matter how beautiful, she still had seven or eight parts resemblance to Xiao Tian, it was still Xiao Tian’s voice, still Xiao Tian’s gentle and delicate appearance.

But her aura was different, she had become more confident.

Confidence came from her completely transformed beautiful face.

Xiao Tian herself was in a dream, unable to describe her feelings, suddenly enveloped by immense surprise, suddenly obtaining something she never dared to imagine.

The most shocked was Assistant Hu Sheng. When he saw Xiao Tian, his eyeballs almost popped out.

He thought a celebrity fairy was visiting their ‘Morning Glow Small Courtyard’ to donate money. When he heard her voice, it was Xiao Tian!

Hu Sheng felt his heart change!

However, a week later, when Hu Sheng saw Sister Bai, Hu Sheng’s heart changed again…

Men, it’s normal!

His mind was in a state of confusion, lost between the two stunning beauties who had suddenly appeared at Morning Glow Small Courtyard, losing his composure and his sense of self.

Then Hu Sheng suddenly had a feeling, as if guided by fate: the woman before him had become someone he could never reach in this lifetime.

A great sense of loss enveloped him. He suddenly felt lost, unsure of where to go.

Sister Bai and Xiao Tian stayed in the room, admiring their own beauty.

Xiao Tian suddenly said, “Sister Bai, is this all real? Am I still dreaming?”

Sister Bai said, “I don’t know either, but I hope it’s real! I wish this dream could last forever.”

Xiao Tian asked curiously, “Sister Bai, how did Little Zhong do it? He’s still so young!”

Sister Bai shook her head, “A long time ago I realized Jing Zhong was very smart, unlike ordinary children. Six months ago, I confirmed that Jing Zhong is a once-in-a-century genius. You are not a genius, neither am I, we cannot understand what the world of a genius is like.

So he can do things we can’t imagine, there’s nothing to be surprised about. He’s a Summoner, maybe he accidentally summoned a special Summoned Beast? And that Summoned Beast happens to have a skill that can secrete a beauty serum for a ‘flawless face’?”

“This world is vast, there are too many unimaginable things, we can’t possibly understand them all. For us, none of this matters.

What I care about is whether we have money, and if we can raise the children of Morning Glow Small Courtyard…”

Xiao Tian listened to Sister Bai and nodded in agreement.

Sister Bai continued, “So, I won’t ask how Jing Zhong did it, and Xiao Tian, you shouldn’t either. As long as we can earn money, that’s enough. Don’t reveal this news either, keep it a strict secret, understand?”

Xiao Tian touched her cheek and nodded, “Don’t worry, Sister Bai.”

……

After a careful discussion, the plan for the beauty salon was quickly finalized.

Beauty treatments were divided into two tiers, with prices ranging from low to high.

First tier: 8-point beauties, five hundred thousand;

Second tier: Face-changing surgery, one million.

No storefront is needed. They would find clients privately, targeting rich women. They would start with discounted sales and increase prices later based on demand.

As for whether they could attract clients?

With the before-and-after photos of Sister Bai and Harmony Xiao Tian, someone would surely believe them.

Su Hao also didn’t need to worry about safety issues. With Harmony Yashan around, what safety issues could there be?

Su Hao had already figured out the combat system of this world. The highest combat power in Harmony was his. As long as he was careful, he couldn’t be threatened.

Unless he decided to oppose the entire world, but he was just seeking wealth discreetly and had no fundamental conflict with the ruling class, so there was no talk of opposing the world.

At most, some people would be greedy for their profits and try to get their hands on it.

If such a person appeared, they would just be killed and buried deep underground.

With so many people being inexplicably teleported away by space every year, who would care about a few disappearances?

Moreover, Genetic Technology was truly a path to riches! Once the business was successful, ‘Dawn Small Courtyard’ would no longer have to worry about money.

During his studies, he could also mindfully study.

Furthermore, this matter would not only facilitate Su Hao in collecting gene information from various humans but also allow him to secretly conduct some minor, unimportant experiments and earn money on the side.

Killing three birds with one stone.

All he had to do was dedicate a little time each week to complete the gene designs and produce Gene Modification fluid.

That was all.

Even the cultivation of the Gene Modification fluid was automated now.

As for dealing with those who dared to covet and reach out, wasn’t there Yashan?

After ‘Dawn Beauty Salon’ was officially established, Su Hao pulled Yashan aside and said, “Jing Yi, I have an important task for you: protect Sister Bai and the others when they go out to do business. If anyone dares to target us, secretly kill them and bury them underground.”

For the Steel Armor King, this was a very simple task.

Yashan patted his chest and said, “Leave it to me! Boss Jing Zhong!”
