Chapter 3 The First Under Heaven

  The film flickered and jumped, indicating a lapse of ten months, and Li Cuihua was finally about to give birth.

  Zhao Hongyu chose to give birth in a village clinic with very poor conditions because it was cheap.

  A cost of 2,000 yuan is absolutely cheaper compared to the production costs in cities which are over 10,000 yuan.

  Ding Dong!

  Genetic life birth was successful, please choose the corresponding nurturing fee: 500 yuan/month, 700 yuan/month, 1000 yuan/month.

  Low-quality animation, frozen at the moment when Li Cuihua happily picked up her child.

  Zhao Hongyu looked at the prompt in the 3D screen, feeling quite helpless.

  It seems that genetically modified humans want to grow up, and related nurturing costs are indispensable.

  Zhao Hongyu understood that if he didn't pay the money, the dog system would definitely judge that the purchase of genetic material had failed, and his previous investment would be in vain.

  Zhao Hongyu was unwilling, from helping Wang Erdou to Li Cuihua giving birth to a child, he spent nearly 60,000 yuan.

  Even if a mosquito is small, it's still meat, and he won't agree that it was just a waste of effort.

  So Zhao Hongyu had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue paying.

  Even Zhao Hongyu suspected that the person who created this system was a super swindler, otherwise how could this ring be so tight.

  It's really addictive.

  It's okay, this time Zhao Hongyu had a detailed preparation. The principal has more than 13 million yuan, not to mention that there is no brain-dead option to choose the city type, so he can still support it for now.

  Children in remote mountainous areas are easy to raise, no need for milk powder and diapers, breast milk and cloth diapers can be used, which can save a lot of money.

  So a monthly living expense of 700 yuan is enough in Zhao Hongyu's view.

  Wang Er Gou and Li Cui Hua's child also had a name, 'Wang Shan'.

  After calculation, from 1 year old to 7 years old, the total cost for these seven years is only 84,000 yuan per year. Seven years would be 588,000 yuan, which is not a lot.

  After Zhao Hongyu paid the fee, the 'Picasso' child in the low-quality animation was frozen and did not grow.

  System options bar, continue popping up...

  The child is going to school, please pay the tuition fees for the mountain village primary school.

  It's okay, this is a remote mountainous area, the teacher is a volunteer from Hope Project, so the tuition fee is not much.

  Two semesters a year is just 1,000 yuan, and elementary school adds up to only 6,000 yuan.

  At the same time, the living expenses for these six years are calculated separately. Therefore, the total of living expenses and tuition is 56,400 yuan (living expenses: 50,400 yuan + tuition: 6,000 yuan).

  Zhao Hongyu took care of this expense, next don't think about it anymore, there are still junior high and high school.

  However, because Zhao Hongyu chose a remote mountain village model to cultivate genetic people, Wang Erdog's children encountered an unexpected situation of dropping out after finishing elementary school, which made Zhao Hongyu breathe a sigh of relief.

  At this time, Wang Shan was 13 years old.

  Wang Erdog's child Wang Shan dropped out of school and started going home to help his old father with farming...

  A piece of text appeared in front of Zhao Hongyu, accompanied by a dubbing voice.

  During Wang Shan's 13th to 18th years, Zhao Hongyu still had to be responsible for his living expenses, which was 8,400 yuan per year and not a penny less.

  There's a saying: "A half-grown son can eat his father to death." Wang Shan was at the stage of growing up, so he must have had a huge appetite.

  With Zhao Hongyu's 700 yuan living expenses for a month, Wang Shan's growth nutrition was still keeping up.

  In five years, Wang Shan learned farming skills and enlisted in the army at the age of 18.

  After being a soldier for three years, Zhao Hongyu didn't spend a single penny because the army covered everything including food and accommodations.

  "Just like what's real and true, that's how the actual world is too." As he listened to the voice outside of the painting, Zhao Hongyu thought to himself as he looked at the words in front of him.

  Three years later, Wang Shan retired from the army, and the system's option bar appeared once again.

  At this time, in the inferior animation screen, it was still Li Cuihua holding the newborn Wang Shan.

  System prompt displays: Gene person has skilled farming technology, basic military knowledge, 21 years old can be delivered for use, the usage period is 60 years, asking whether to receive immediately or wait for 21 years.

  Zhao Hongyu looked at this prompt and options, and sucked his teeth.

  Isn't this Wang Shan's growth experience? Anyway, I've given all the money that should be given. If I don't choose to receive it immediately, do I have to wait for 21 years?

  Isn't this just like raising a child?

  He suddenly came to his senses.

  Zhao Hongyu is not an idiot, how could he possibly wait for 21 years?

  Heaven knows if he didn't have his men 21 years ago, fighting alone like this, whether he would be killed by the Indians or wild beasts.

  He chose to receive it immediately.

  After Zhao Hongyu chose the option of receiving immediately, a form popped up on the screen.

  Wang Ergou lavished Li Cuihua with gifts: xx catties of eggs, xx catties of pork, xx bolts of flowered cloth... totaling 5,500 yuan.

  Dowry 20,000 yuan!

  Built a new house in the family for 30,000 yuan (including construction costs and building materials purchase fees).

  Wang Shan's upbringing fee from 1 year old to 7 years old: RMB 58,800

  Tuition and living expenses from 7 to 13 years old: RMB 56,400

  Raising fee from 13 years old to 18 years old: RMB 50,400

  Total: 2,211,000 yuan

  Note: If you need to receive the gene immediately, please pay for accelerated growth!

  Zhao Hongyu helplessly checked the cost of accelerated growth, he didn't want to wait 21 years for his subordinates. But he was also clear about this system, paying for everything.

  The cost of accelerated growth is not much, just double the total amount.

  So as long as Zhao Hongyu pays 4,422,000 yuan, he can get a genetically engineered person with skilled farming skills and basic military skills.

  After calculating it, Zhao Hongyu felt that this was not a loss.

  Raising a child in the real world indeed costs tens of thousands of dollars.

  Besides, Gene people also have farming skills and basic military skills.

  Although it's just three years of compulsory military service, it can still be used after all.

  So, after Zhao Hongyu paid 4,422,000 yuan with great pleasure, a young man with a bare butt, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a silly face suddenly appeared in front of him.

  There was no dazzling rainbow halo or blinding white light, and yet, the genetically engineered human appeared out of nowhere.

  "Leader! Wang Shan reporting!"

  With a full breath of energy and strong bones, Zhao Hongyu was very satisfied with this genetically modified person.

  Is this pattern recorded?

  A cold and mechanical voice asked.

  Zhao Hongyu nodded and confirmed it.

  Raising a genetic person is quite troublesome. One after another inquiry column selection column really makes people headache. Recording down setting well, it's very easy then.

  It seems that sometimes this thing is still very humanized.

  Zhao Hongyu felt happy in his heart.

  However, he quickly came back to his senses because his first genetically engineered human, Wang Shan, was still stark naked at this moment.

  Looking at Wang Shan's naked butt, Zhao Hongyu couldn't help but mock, why didn't the system come with clothes? You know, I spent over 400,000 yuan on this.

  But anyway, Zhao Hongyu must solve this problem.

  He withdrew from the genetic option and came to the civil service option.

  At this time, Zhao Hongyu's personal attribute version appeared in the upper right corner.

  Name: Zhao Hongyu

  Age: 15 years old

  Gender: Male

  Civilian level: None 1/5 (Farmer) Next level is 'Head of Household', please meet the upgrade conditions.

  Military Rank: None 0/12 (Soldier) Next rank is 'Squad Leader', please meet the promotion requirements.

  Glancing at his own attribute bar, what made Zhao Hongyu somewhat surprised was that Wang Shan actually belonged to the category of farmers rather than soldiers.

  Are conscripts not considered soldiers?

  This made Zhao Hongyu somewhat curious.

  But now Zhao Hongyu didn't have the heart to think about this issue, he had to deal with Wang Shanguang's buttocks.

  Due to his low level, many things he couldn't buy. So Zhao Hongyu could only open the knockoff option and purchase a set of clothes from it.

  When Zhao Hongyu arrived in this era, it was in the scorching summer. However, now it's already late September and soon to be October, so the weather has become very cold.

  It may be because in 1620, at this time there were not so many factories emitting smoke, so the end of September in this era was particularly cold.

  He chose a 17th-century European-style brown leather jacket and pants, along with knee-high leather boots.

  The lining of this leather jacket and pants are all embedded with rabbit hair for warmth, even the long tube leather boots have it.

  To prevent skin wear and tear, Zhao Hongyu also bought linen underclothes for Wang Shan.

  All in all, Zhao Hongyu spent 3,000 yuan. This was still the case when Zhao Hongyu stored a lot of buffalo leather and the mountain stronghold custom only charged labor costs.

  Otherwise, this set of leather jacket and trousers and long boots, without at least twenty thousand yuan, it's absolutely impossible to buy.

  To know, these are all genuine leather.

  Genuine leather products in the 21st century are really expensive.

  In fact, there are also clothing products among the livelihood options.

  Although Zhao Hongyu's rank was not high, he could also buy green military uniforms and green military coats from the 1980s.

  It's just that Zhao Hongyu thought those clothes didn't look good, so he didn't choose this kind of clothing.

  Although it is a shanzhai product, Zhao Hongyu specifically requested good workmanship and sewing techniques, so Wang Shan's clothes are still quite good.

  A handle of pig iron forging cross axe and a pig iron pickaxe were handed over to Wang Shan.

  "Firearms are too cumbersome and heavy, with poor accuracy. Sometimes they can't even compare to these cold weapons."

  Wang Shan nodded, took over the axe and inserted it into the axe holder at his waist, and carried the mountain knife on his back.

  "Leader, where are we going now?"

  Although Wang Shan's parents look like 'Picasso' in the animation, Wang Shan himself is still not very demonic after appearing.

  Zhao Hongyu said: "I plan to head south, now our strength is too small, we must find a place where we can develop." Then Zhao Hongyu told Wang Shan about their current situation and the dangers they might face.

  Although Wang Shan is a genetically modified person, he still possesses normal intelligence.

  Zhao Hongyu also needs to discuss with someone.

  "Chieftain, your decision is correct. Now, relying on me alone, I basically have no way to resist the enemy, and the population of the Andarle tribe is too small, and it's not even a match for the Mokle tribe supported by France, they will be defeated sooner or later."

  Wang Shan had been a 'volunteer soldier' for three years after all, so he still saw through some things very clearly.

  "So, leader I suggest you continue to make two more subordinates now!", Wang Shan continued to give out suggestions.
