432: Perfect life
Ji Ruping nodded, expressing agreement: "I understand, Boss. I'll arrange it as soon as possible."
Tian Ming smiled slightly: "Thank you for your hard work. At the same time, you must also do a good job of psychological counseling after the test to ensure that the participants are not too affected."
Ji Ruping nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Boss. I'll handle it."
Tian Ming nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at the others: "Does anyone else have any questions?"
Everyone shook their heads, indicating no problems. Tian Ming smiled slightly and said: "Good, then let's proceed as planned. Bai Yan, you go arrange the battleship matters; Meng Xian, you are responsible for contacting and communicating with Tian Quan; Ji Ruping, you are responsible for arranging consciousness backup and testing. Everyone performs their duties."
Everyone accepted the order, and after the meeting, they became busy. In the entire conference room, only Tian Ming and his family of three remained. Tian Ming looked at Shen Yuan, a smile appearing on his face.
"Wife, you've worked hard these twenty years. I think Xiao Xiao must have caused a lot of trouble, right?"
Shen Yuan felt a pang in her heart and glanced at Xiao Xiao: "She was very mischievous when she was little, always clamoring to find you, and then she stopped looking, but I always believed that you would come back."
Tian Ming gently patted Shen Yuan's hand and smiled: "Don't worry, it won't happen again. The Yuanchu God has fallen into eternal slumber, and this situation will never occur again."
Shen Yuan nodded, tears shimmering in her eyes: "Mhm!"
Tian Ming smiled and reached out to hold Shen Yuan's hand: "Let's go home. Today, our family of three will have a good reunion."
Xiao Xiao, standing by, felt a warmth in her heart seeing her parents' affection. She took a step forward and linked arms with Tian Ming: "Dad, don't always show off your affection in front of me, okay?"
Tian Ming smiled, looking at his daughter dotingly: "Alright, alright, Dad will pay attention in the future and not make Xiao Xiao jealous."
The family of three smiled at each other, Shen Yuan and Xiao Xiao, one on each side, holding Tian Ming's wrists.
"Dad, you're a God now. Come on, you find which cabin our home is in, and just teleport the three of us over," Xiao Xiao suggested.
Tian Ming smiled and shook his head: "Alright, let me find it." Tian Ming closed his eyes, and in less than a second, he found his home among the millions of cabins in the space city.
"Are you ready? I'm about to teleport!"
"Ready!" Xiao Xiao said, tightening her grip on Tian Ming's arm.
The family of three nervously closed their eyes. Immediately after, they felt a slight tremor in their bodies, followed by the surrounding scenery gradually becoming clear. When they opened their eyes, they were already at home.
"We're home."
Tian Ming released his daughter's hand and walked to the window, looking at the bustling space city outside, his heart filled with emotion. Twenty years had passed, and the space city had expanded several times, with its population increasing to millions. All these changes were beyond Tian Ming's expectations.
"Husband, what are you thinking about?" Shen Yuan walked to Tian Ming's side and asked softly.
Tian Ming came back to his senses and smiled at Shen Yuan: "I'm thinking, how have you all been doing here these years?"
"Actually, it's just been like that, very busy every day. Your wife here isn't just some vase; I'm a Superpower User after all. I participated in the expansion of the space city, deep-space mining robots, automated space farms, and environmental ecological construction."
"Hmm, my wife has always been this amazing."
Shen Yuan smiled slightly and said: "I'll ask my brother and sister-in-law to come over. I'm cooking today to make something delicious for you."
"Good!"
Suddenly, Tian Ming couldn't help but ask one more question: "Sister-in-law? Is it Su Rou?"
Shen Yuan smiled calmly and said: "Who else? They dragged their feet until the second phase of the space city was completed before getting together. I was the one who set them up."
Tian Ming laughed after hearing that: "That's great! I didn't expect Su Rou to actually become my sister-in-law now?"
Shen Yuan retorted: "What, from what you're saying, it sounds like there's a hidden meaning?"
"No, I have everything I want now. It's like a real-life perfect world," Tian Ming said.
Shen Yuan was startled and asked: "Husband, will you get tired of this kind of life?"
"I don't know. We'll see when I get tired. At worst, I'll choose to fall into slumber like the previous Yuanchu God!" Tian Ming didn't think that far ahead, because there was no other option for him; he didn't have an exit button.
Shen Yuan nodded slightly and didn't say much.
Tian Ming walked to the sofa and sat down. Although their home was in the space city, there was simulated gravity here, so the living experience was actually not much different from on the ground.
Xiao Xiao took off her forging blade and sat next to Tian Ming.
"Dad, I'm now the first executive officer of the Special Operations Group. Aunt Qiu Qian gave me special training. If you don't activate your divine body, you might not even be able to defeat me." Xiao Xiao's face showed a hint of pride.
Tian Ming smiled and patted Xiao Xiao's shoulder: "Xiao Xiao has grown up. Dad is proud of you."
"Hmph! I feel like you're being a bit perfunctory, but Dad, I'm 21 now. You said you only left for a dozen hours, so you should only be 26 now. We're only five years apart, and Mom made you younger. This feeling is so strange."
"Then I'll turn you into a child!"
Xiao Xiao quickly shifted her position and said: "Dad, don't joke. When I'm old, you can make me younger, but I'm in the prime of my life now, and I don't want to go back to being a child."
"Haha, just kidding with you!"
Just then, the doorbell rang, and Tian Ming got up to open the door. Standing outside was Su Rou, who looked at Tian Ming, clearly stunned for a long time.
Tian Ming smiled: "What, don't you recognize me? Sister-in-law, welcome."
"Boss, how come you haven't changed at all?" Su Rou's face showed surprise.
Tian Ming was about to answer when Shen Yi's voice came from the hallway.
"Hurry up, man, it's just this short distance. Come on, persistence is victory."
Shen Yi was carrying a large bag of groceries, while a small boy, about six or seven years old, was hugging an oversized fish, slowly shuffling towards them.
Tian Ming looked at the child, then at Su Rou, and asked: "Your son?"
"Yes, Shen Wen Yu, he's seven," Su Rou said with a smile.
"Come on in, come on in!" Tian Ming quickly invited Shen Yi and his wife inside. Shen Wen Yu carried the fish to the kitchen, then walked over, breathing heavily.
"Boss!" Shen Yi greeted.
"Alright, don't call me that in front of the child," Tian Ming said with a smile, glancing at the shy little boy.
"Then, should I call you brother-in-law?" Shen Yi rubbed his stubble, asking tentatively.
"Hmm, I think that's fine."
Shen Yi smiled and scratched his head. He was now in his early forties, already looking like a middle-aged man.
