The three of them stayed in the laboratory for about six days. During these six days, the experiment was considered successful once it was halfway done, but that required someone to endure the erosion of the Extremis Virus.
Lan Luo came up with a method, using his genjutsu, to suggest the thing he most desired, believing that if he could get through this hurdle, he would obtain what he wanted.
This was how the perfect Extremis Virus appeared. Of course, the moment it was completed, it would break free from the genjutsu, so Lan Luo used the permanent Kotoamatsukami, controlling each one without a sound.
Ji Lian, standing nearby, was very excited. He could finally change his appearance and his lame leg. He felt he could succeed even without being controlled, so he became the first normal test subject.
The three of them knew the principle, so Lan Luo didn't do anything extra.
Without any surprises, Ji Lian succeeded. He happily raised his palm to examine it, and then his fleshly palm turned into flames.
In the reflection on the wall, he saw his current appearance, finally restored, and his strength had become incredibly powerful, constantly indulging in the feeling of being invincible.
Lan Luo also stepped forward and congratulated him: "Congratulations on successfully getting what you wanted, Ji Lian, you truly are a genius, an unparalleled genius."
Ji Lian also happily put his hand on Lan Luo's shoulder.
Suddenly, a fiery red arm pierced through Lan Luo's heart. Maya, beside him, was so startled that she jumped out of her chair and exclaimed: "Oh my god, unbelievable."
Just then, Ji Lian's cold voice came: "I really wanted to work with you, but you are too much of a genius. You didn't understand these things before, and in just a few months, you surpassed us.
This makes me very uneasy. I want to get revenge on Tony, but you are definitely in it for profit. We are not on the same path at all. Also, about what happened tonight, although I don't know the principle, it doesn't matter, I will get everything you have."
Pulling out his flame-like arm, he watched as Lan Luo's transparent heart area slowly healed.
In Ji Lian's angry and terrified eyes, Lan Luo slowly opened his mouth: "What delusion makes you think you can kill me?"
After speaking, Lan Luo's body returned to normal, and then his eyes transformed into the Eternal Mangekyo. With a permanent Kotoamatsukami, one of the big Ji Lian's from Iron Man once again became Lan Luo's subordinate, and the most loyal one.
Maya was also frightened nearby. Lan Luo saw this and comforted her: "I didn't expect this to happen. I can only change his thoughts so that he no longer seeks revenge on Tony. His obsession is too deep."
Hearing this, Maya also felt relieved. Although controlling others wasn't ideal, compared to the murderous Ji Lian, her boss's words were more trustworthy.
Seeing Maya calm down, Lan Luo continued: "Maya, our research on the Extremis Virus is complete. I need to research a Super Soldier Serum based on this."
"Boss, I need some rest," Maya said, sounding a bit tired.
"I'm sorry, I'll have an assistant send you back right away," Lan Luo also remembered the endless experiments of the past few days, and things would be much better going forward.
He planned to continue having Ji Lian dig up Captain America in the Arctic, leading eight intact Extremis soldiers. Lan Luo could then rest for a while longer.
After making arrangements, Lan Luo copied a set of Extremis Virus data, intending to give it to Helen Zhao, and then used Apparition to return home.
Upon returning home, Lan Luo washed up and went back to his room. Soon, a low moan was heard, and then the sound grew louder.
Two hours later, it finally subsided, and the highly tense emotions from the laboratory were finally released.
"Dear, you're always like this. I fell asleep, and I have to go to work tomorrow," Helen Zhao said weakly, patting Lan Luo's chest.
"The Extremis Virus is complete. Researching it for so long took up a lot of my time, and many things were delayed, so I'm very happy today."
Lan Luo was also thinking about going to Kamar-Taj to learn magic. The Extremis Virus in the original story didn't appear this early; without his funding and technology, it would have been at least several years slower.
Hearing this, Helen Zhao also happily said: "I think if you want to go out, you must have someone trustworthy to help you manage the company."
Lan Luo didn't intend to make money because he wasn't short of it, but many things couldn't be achieved with money: "And it must be an American."
Lan Luo understood Americans too well. On this land, neither Helen Zhao nor he were natives, so there would be more and more restrictions in the future.
Helen Zhao raised an eyebrow and said: "You're not thinking of going to find your ex-girlfriend Christine again, are you?"
Lan Luo felt a bit awkward because that's exactly what he was thinking. Over the years, Lan Luo had only been intimate with her, and they hadn't officially broken up.
"Hailun, both of us are of foreign descent. On this capitalist land, every inch is filled with the blood of capital.
Would you feel comfortable entrusting a company worth hundreds of billions or even trillions to a stranger?" Lan Luo said cautiously at this point, as the battlefield between the two of them needed to be resolved in advance.
Helen Zhao, of course, knew the potential of their research and could only say: "Then you must come home every night."
This was her biggest concession.
"Dear, I'm going to Kamar-Taj to learn magic, and it will be a long time before I can come back. Can you not think so much?" Lan Luo said, changing the subject.
"Then what are you still hesitating about?" After saying that, Helen Zhao mounted him once more.
Sounds came from all over the room: the sofa, the windowsill, the table, the bathroom, and finally the bed. Lan Luo, with his superhuman physique, was fine, but the crazy woman slept for an entire day afterward.
The next day, when Lan Luo woke up, it was already past noon. Lan Luo got dressed and went to New York Presbyterian Hospital.
As soon as he arrived at the hospital, the nurses gathered around, asking him all sorts of questions, as they were former colleagues.
Before, he had no choice, and he also needed a public identity to help him conceal his wealth. When he gained power, he no longer wanted to waste time.
Soon after, Christine saw Lan Luo and happily came forward to hug him, saying: "Dear, you haven't come to see me in a long time."
Lan Luo patted her back and said: "I've been working on a project recently, and I just finished it late last night. I came to see you as soon as I woke up today."
Lan Luo patiently explained to Christine; he could feel her longing for him.
"Can you stay with me these days? But I still have to work," Christine said, a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, can you take some time off? I have something to discuss with you," Lan Luo said sincerely.
After hearing this, Christine returned to the hospital and didn't make Lan Luo wait long.
She came out wearing a hot and sexy short skirt, her high heels clicking on the ground, making her calves appear particularly shapely and long.
Each click of her high heels sounded like a heartbeat.
Christine naturally went forward, took Lan Luo's arm, and walked ahead. Once in the car, the two embraced and kissed, passionately and lingeringly.
Only after their faces were flushed did they slowly separate and start the car, driving towards Christine's house.
Stephen Strange, who witnessed all of this at the hospital entrance, thought to himself: "Why is it Lan Luo again? Even though he's left the hospital, he still lives so brilliantly.
It was the same in school, the same in the hospital, and he's incredibly brilliant in love too."
