"Damn it, is this guy a Werewolf too? How can a normal human not sleep for three days and three nights..."
At this moment, in the cardboard box placed in the northwest corner of Karl's bedroom.
Selena's originally beautiful and enchanting face was already filled with an expression of bitter suffering.
Over the past three days, her body and mind had experienced a roller-coaster-like drop.
Initially, after being pushed into this bedroom as "fruit," Selena still harbored the idea of taking Karl hostage when the box was opened and escaping.
But who would have thought that the other party seemed to have detected her intention?
Not only did he have no intention of "opening the box."
He even stayed awake for three days and three nights straight, and never left this bedroom!
He just sat on the sofa, full of energy, holding a large stack of Playboy magazines, reading them with great relish.
Selena's mentality was almost completely shattered by him.
She just couldn't understand what was so appealing about those dirty magazines?
Even she, a Vampire with a physique that could endure staying up late, was starting to feel sleepy and couldn't hold on much longer, but that guy was still full of vigor?
Weren't they just a bunch of bunny girls waiting to be sold, deliberately posing provocatively in front of the camera to gain more attention and break into the industry?
Was it really that captivating?!
Heh heh, sure enough, whether it's men or male Vampires... they're all perverts who are aroused by beauty!!
However, considering the heavily armed soldiers outside, Selena still decided to wait for an opportune moment to make her move.
But this became a desperate nightmare for her.
As time went on.
Driven by instinct, Selena's craving for blood had become increasingly intense.
Plus, her body had been in this extreme folded state for a long time.
It had almost exhausted all of her physical strength.
Her bodily functions had already dropped to their lowest point.
The continuous impact of hunger and fatigue also caused Selena's consciousness to gradually blur.
It was as if a seductive voice echoed repeatedly in her mind, "Rush out, suck his blood dry..."
That's right, if she didn't consume fresh blood soon, Selena would likely become the first Vampire in history to starve to death in a cardboard box!
So...
Under the combined influence of hunger, drowsiness, weakness, and exhaustion, among many other negative factors.
This Moon Goddess, who had personally hunted down hundreds of Werewolves, finally couldn't hold on any longer.
Selena decided to suck the blood of the man outside before she lost consciousness.
Bang—
Selena's figure shot out of the cardboard box.
She pounced like lightning towards Karl, who was sitting with his back to her, engrossed in reading a Playboy magazine.
Although she had been starved for nine meals over three days, and her eyes were blue from hunger.
Selena was still confident that she could instantly subdue the man in front of her.
Heh heh, a mere human, what's there to worry about?
However.
At this moment, she made an extremely fatal mistake.
That was to subconsciously ignore the golden light that had always enveloped the man's body.
The next second.
Clang—
Selena felt as if she had bitten into a thick steel plate.
Her four sharp fangs were instantly shattered by the powerful recoil, and blood flowed freely.
Σ(⊙▽⊙"a???
Oh no, a trick?
However.
When Selena came to her senses and prepared to retreat and flee.
She found a large hand, like an iron clamp, had somehow grabbed her beautiful hair, rendering her unable to move.
"I originally thought you could hold on for a few more days, but I didn't expect you to give up so soon."
Karl's handsome face wore a harmless smile, but his words were full of mockery.
Selena's face instantly turned pale with fright upon hearing this, and she exclaimed, "You... you mean you already discovered me?"
If that were true.
Then didn't that mean she had fallen into this man's trap from the very beginning?
No wonder he dared to face her alone.
What a despicable human.
"What do you think?"
Karl smiled noncommittally.
Actually, it wasn't that Selena was "slow to realize."
Rather, every time she had a suspicious thought, Karl would "brainwash" her at light speed.
So much so that she simply "never thought" she would be exposed.
Karl's purpose in doing this was also very simple.
It was to deliberately use the method of "taming a hawk" to wear down her mental and willpower to the maximum extent, thereby reducing the Vampires' innate psychic resistance, to facilitate the next stage.
As for safety, he was even less worried.
Putting aside everything else, just the energy outer layer that even cannonballs couldn't penetrate was something a mere Vampire couldn't break through.
"Miss Selena, are you interested in joining my command?"
"What... you actually want to recruit me?!"
Selena simply couldn't believe her ears.
She never expected that the other party's elaborate scheme to trap her was merely for recruitment?
But the problem was, didn't he know that the Blood Race always valued bloodline and heritage the most?
How could she, the dignified "Moon Goddess," lower herself to submit to a human who was supposed to be mere food?
"Don't dream, I will never... Bang!!"
However.
Before she could finish her sentence.
A fist shimmering with golden light had already smashed into her face.
Blood mixed with several fallen teeth, all swallowed by her.
The unparalleled power directly sent Selena flying out.
She heavily slammed into the metal bulkhead, leaving a human-shaped indentation protruding outwards.
"I'm sorry, it seems necessary to remind you slightly, given your previous attempt to ambush me, if I don't hear the answer I want now, someone might die..."
Karl's face always wore a gentle smile, like a spring breeze.
But in Selena's eyes, it was as terrifying as a devil's sneer.
Undoubtedly, the man in front of her was exceptionally powerful and could kill her on the spot without effort.
And that punch just now had already helped her recognize reality.
Because this guy really dared to hit women!
So Selena decisively gave up the idea of continuing to attack.
She stood quietly in place, waiting for the other party to speak.
Otherwise, what else could she do?
She couldn't win in a fight, and she couldn't escape.
She was completely at his mercy, okay?
"Don't be so quick to refuse. Don't you want to know the truth about your parents' tragic deaths centuries ago?"
Karl directly threw out a bait that Selena simply couldn't refuse, "You wouldn't really think they were killed by Werewolves, would you?"
The latter's eyes widened sharply upon hearing this, and she exclaimed in horror, "Impossible, how could you, a human, know about this?"
But then she reacted.
"Wait a minute... what do you mean by 'truth' just now?!"
"My parents weren't killed by Werewolves?"
"But Victor has no reason to deceive me about this... What do you know?!"
However.
Karl did not answer Selena's question this time.
He just said with a half-smile, "Only those who successfully pass the test are qualified to know the answer."
Although Karl knew all about Selena's past.
But the necessary test was still indispensable.
She needed to prove her worth to be qualified to join Karl's faction.
"What test?"
A hint of vigilance flashed in Selena's eyes, but it was immediately replaced by an urgent desire for the truth.
Clearly, the man in front of her knew some secrets she wasn't aware of.
Otherwise, he would never have gone to such great lengths to trap her.
And to obtain the truth about her parents' tragic deaths, Selena had even prepared herself to sacrifice herself...
After all, the man in front of her had been staring at Playboy for three days and three nights straight.
Presumably, his body and mind were already parched and desperate, right?
Although Selena looked like she was under 20 years old.
Her true age was actually over 600 years old.
However.
Ever since her parents tragically died at the hands of Werewolves.
At just 19 years old, Selena was transformed and adopted by Victor, one of the three Vampire Elders known as the 'Monarch'.
He gradually trained her into the most powerful Death Walker under his command.
And over the past six hundred years,
Selena's heart held only one thing: revenge, revenge… never-ending revenge!
Aside from her 'benefactor' Victor, she trusted almost no one.
She ruthlessly rejected countless admirers and suitors.
Like a lone wolf, she successfully slayed countless Lycan armies with her two silver bullet pistols and a great cross-sword.
The title of Moon Goddess was derived from this.
Therefore... even now, Selena actually still maintained her virginity.
However, the long years not only honed her mind and combat skills but also enriched her knowledge and experience.
Especially within the Wizard Society, those Vampire nobles who never had to go out on missions and spent their days in luxurious and decadent lives.
They would often hold large orgies for no particular reason,
Engage in multi-person interactions,
Play connect-the-dots and such…
So Selena was already used to it.
But the thought of the inhumane 'abuse' she was about to endure made a sense of desolation rise in her heart.
Would her chastity, preserved for over six hundred years, be taken by this human today?
But compared to discovering the truth and avenging her parents, what was the cost of losing her virginity to her?
At worst, it would be like being defiled by a pig!
What's more, the man in front of her was indeed attractive to Selena.
This also made her feel that accepting it didn't seem so resistant.
After all, Vampires, without exception, were all extremely appearance-conscious.
So, as long as Karl didn't whip her with a small leather whip…
Didn't drip wax on her…
Didn't play those strange games…
Then Selena would most likely be willing to cooperate and complete the progress bar!
However,
Selena didn't notice that while she was continuously imagining evil scenes,
Karl's face opposite her had become increasingly grim.
Damn it, what is this woman fantasizing about over there?
I'm determined to be a pure love god in this life.
True love is invincible, crying alone… do you understand?
Can I just inject this positive energy into you so casually?
I think you old virgin are dreaming.
And… you inexperienced girl, don't you know that the greatest value of 'Playboy' isn't the bunny girls selling themselves, but the high-end celebrity interviews and news commentary within it?
However, to prevent the situation from becoming more awkward, Karl quickly coughed lightly, interrupting her wild thoughts.
Then he slowly raised a finger, "Within one month, I don't care how you do it, extract 20 milliliters of blood sample from the current Elder and send it to Sokovia…"
"Ah, that's all?!"
Selena blinked her ice-blue eyes, seemingly unable to believe that the tough guy who could read 'Playboy' for three days and three nights without getting out of bed would let her off so easily?
Wait a minute, is he deliberately playing hard to get?
Never mind, I'll just agree first.
"…Uh, I mean, yes."
Selena glanced at Karl with a hint of regret but found his expression somewhat grim.
So she forcefully suppressed the urge to ask him what he intended to do with the Elder's blood sample.
She just wanted to find out the truth as soon as possible and then avenge her tragically deceased parents.
As for why Selena agreed so smoothly,
That was because, according to the 'Elder Rotation System' that had been passed down for a thousand years within the Wizard Society,
Amelia, who currently led the entire Vampire race, happened to be the weakest of the three Elders, and she was not the high-ranking Vampire who transformed Selena.
So, as long as the plan was well-executed, the chances of successfully obtaining the blood sample were very high.
And the one-month deadline was just right, not too much and not too little.
However, if it were Victor, the 'Monarch' who transformed Selena into a second-generation Vampire, she would undoubtedly refuse on the spot without hesitation.
Because facing Victor, she wouldn't have even the slightest chance…
"I want to know why you chose me?"
Selena widened her ice-blue eyes, seemingly wanting to dig something out of the man's answer.
But Karl was already prepared and said jokingly, "It seems I didn't choose you, but you came to me yourself."
Very good.
Listening to your words is better than listening to your words!
Selena: (╯°Д°)╯︵ ┻━┻
"Um…"
Seeing that the matters of life and death had all come to an end,
Selena's barely mustered spirits immediately drooped.
An intense hunger filled her body.
Her beautiful eyes stared unblinkingly at the slightly pulsating artery in Karl's neck.
Swallowing her profusely flowing saliva, she cautiously probed:
"Sir, your blood smells so good, could you be so kind… and give me a few drops to taste? Please~~~"
Perhaps influenced by extreme hunger,
At this moment, Selena could even smell something irresistible in Karl's blood, despite the barrier of his skin.
The 6th, 7th, and 8th senses of the female Vampire were all reminding her:
Just a tiny sip could allow her to successfully break through the bloodline's confinement and ascend to a higher level.
She had never experienced this feeling in her more than six hundred years.
Selena suddenly felt a little regret.
If she had discovered it earlier, there wouldn't have been so much probing and psychological preparation.
She would have just played the role of a docile and sensible person, and that would have been it.
Perhaps by now, she would have successfully deceived him and started happily drinking.
"No."
Karl narrowed his eyes and refused mercilessly, "I advise you not to even think about it, otherwise… you will die a miserable death."
Logically speaking, giving Selena a few drops of blood would not cause any harm to Karl's body.
On the contrary, it could deepen the female Vampire's dependence on him.
Because Karl knew too well the immense temptation his blood held for the Vampire race.
One must know that his current physique had been purified by the purest Universe secret energy.
It was no exaggeration to say that Karl's entire body was essence now.
Ordinary humans naturally couldn't compare.
If judged by the Vampire race's blood quality grading system,
Then Karl's blood was undoubtedly like a 'Ginseng Fruit,' a rare and precious supreme feast.
It was estimated that even the lowest-ranking Vampire who drank his blood could break the shackles within their bloodline, advance several ranks, and become powerful.
This was why Selena had reacted that way just now.
As for why Karl refused her request,
It wasn't because he was stingy…
But because he remembered that the three Vampire Elders in 'Underworld' all seemed to possess the ability to read fragments of others' memories from their blood.
However, he was somewhat unsure whether high-ranking Vampires like Selena possessed such 'blood-reading' abilities.
He vaguely remembered that in the final battle of 'Underworld 1,' Selena had indeed drunk Michael's blood, but she hadn't read his memories.
But even so,
Karl wasn't prepared to try it easily.
After all, this matter involved Karl's identity as a transmigrator, and many secrets such as the Warp.
If the information about the mind stone were exposed prematurely because of this, wouldn't it be penny wise and pound foolish?
So, the safest approach was to refuse until her loyalty was confirmed.
Of course…
Unless Selena wanted the kind that was one drop worth ten!
"Alright then…"
Selene put on a pitiful expression.
Her pearly white teeth bit her lower lip.
Such a delicate, pitiable look would surely have made any other man surrender on the spot.
But Karl remained unmoving, showing no intention of backing down.
╥﹏╥.
This iron-hearted man.
Does I, the dignified Moon Goddess, have no face?
You mark my words…
Even if I, Selene, starve to death, die outside, or jump off a cliff, I will not drink a single drop of your blood!!
"Last question."
Selene shed her previous delicate expression, her ice-blue eyes fixed on Karl with unusual seriousness. "Who… exactly are you?"
The latter smiled and said, "A Dimensional God who doesn't want to go home!"
o(one︿one#)o
I've had enough!!
Selene just assumed Karl was still toying with her.
Joking, how could a Dimensional God be human?
Even the legendary Vampire Lord, Dracula, the King of Ghosts, couldn't reach the level of a Dimensional God…
After rolling her beautiful eyes, she turned and pushed the door open.
However.
In the corridor outside the room, soldiers armed with live ammunition had already gathered.
In fact, as soon as the unusual sounds of fighting came from Karl's bedroom, these soldiers were ready to rush in and protect him.
But they were all stopped by Karl using his Mind abilities.
Now, seeing the culprit who disturbed their boss, they all glared with murderous intent.
As soon as Karl gave the order, they would immediately turn the female Vampire in front of them into a sieve.
"Let her go…"
Three light words came from the bedroom.
The soldiers who had gathered in the corridor did not hesitate at all, instantly splitting to both sides, clearing a path for Selene to leave.
Such strict discipline immediately left Selene quite shocked.
No wonder that man's actions were so unrestrained.
Besides his own powerful strength.
Even the armed forces under his command were not to be underestimated.
If one day they were to meet the Wizard Society in battle.
Then, perhaps, apart from the Death Walker members led by her.
All other Vampires would be shot down without a sound…
Thinking of this, a sense of crisis suddenly rose in Selene's heart.
Her tall figure did not stop.
In the blink of an eye, she disappeared into the dark night.
…
After Selene left, Karl picked up a Playboy magazine again, flipping through the columns on celebrity biographies and interviews, and muttered to himself:
"I wonder what stage Samuel Sterns's experiment has reached?"
"If I temporarily add some new content for him, will it delay the original progress?"
Although Karl could, through the Mind Chains connection, "see" Samuel Sterns's daily routine from nearly ten thousand kilometers away.
But unfortunately, the Super Soldier Serum experiment touched upon his knowledge blind spot.
So, whether he looked or not actually made no difference…
As for why Karl asked Selene to collect blood samples from the Vampire Elder.
It was entirely a sudden whim of his.
He really wanted to try if he could use the blood samples of the Vampire progenitor, or the first-generation Vampire Elder.
From them, extract the most superior Extraordinary Factors such as Longevity, Night Vision, Super Hearing, Regenerative Healing Factor, Super Agility, and Super Endurance.
Then, fuse all these Extraordinary Factors into the Super Soldier Serum.
Thereby creating a truly Super Serum!!!
If this idea was feasible.
Then it would undoubtedly open a door to a whole new "path of evolution" for Karl…
Thus, making his future full of endless imagination and possibilities.
After all, for Karl.
The higher the ultimate strength his body could achieve.
The greater the energy transmission he would receive from the Warp.
And such a wild idea.
If it were before Samuel Sterns joined, Karl wouldn't have considered it much at all.
Because thinking about it would be in vain.
For ordinary scientific researchers… no, it should be said that even for those big names in the scientific research field, this "topic" was definitely beyond the scope.
Baron Strucker gathered so many top scientific researchers.
After tinkering for so many years, they still couldn't successfully decipher the original formula of the Super Soldier Serum.
But now, with the addition of Samuel Sterns, this "intellectual Superman."
All those previously impossible ideas have become traceable.
Thinking of this.
Karl's heart was filled with anticipation.
Huh?
Wait a minute!
Karl seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and the expression on his face gradually became strange.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's been exactly nine days since the little handsome King Kong left Skull Island, and he hasn't eaten anything…."
But then he shook his head and said, "No, it should actually be thirteen days, because he hadn't eaten any food since he was in the Skullcrawler's lair."
Previously, King Kong's seasickness was very severe, and his appetite was poor, so he couldn't eat anything.
Plus Karl had to play the "eagle-training game" with Selene.
So he gradually forgot about it.
If it weren't for Selene's "blood request" just now reminding him, he probably wouldn't have remembered it until he returned to Sokovia.
However, this was precisely what puzzled Karl the most.
One must know, Selene, as a Vampire, was only hungry for three days, and her eyes were already blue, making her unable to fight.
But King Kong, who hadn't eaten for nearly half a month, was not only still full of vigor, but also won two crucial "ranking matches" during that time.
Was he not hungry??
Karl clearly remembered that handsome fellow was a big eater of fish and meat in the movie.
This situation, no matter how you look at it, seems a bit unscientific.
Could it be… he really turned into an Ape God?
Thinking of this, Karl had no more interest in continuing to read the magazine.
He simply got up and went to the deck, where he happened to witness the spectacular scene of King Kong getting up to relieve himself.
Whoosh…!!!
A huge column of water spanned dozens of meters, spraying a row of palm trees growing on the opposite coastline, making them lean crookedly.
The tourists on the beach, who were originally enjoying the quiet night, immediately screamed and scurried everywhere.
Σ(°△°|||)
Karl: Real-name envy.jpg
"Handsome, you haven't eaten for a long time, aren't you hungry?"
Karl asked directly.
King Kong scratched his head in a clumsy but endearing way, and replied, equally puzzled: "I don't know what's going on, ever since I left 'home' with you, I haven't felt hungry."
"I've never gone this long without eating before… Karl, am I sick?"
Karl shook his head thoughtfully.
How can a sick person be as lively as you?
However, in this situation, there seems to be only one plausible explanation…
That is, after leaving Skull Island, King Kong successfully awakened the greatest common characteristic of Titans — the ability to absorb radiation energy.
Although in the movie, King Kong did not show similar traits.
But that only means that King Kong has lived on the surface for too long and has become accustomed to a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood.
And his ancestors originally lived in the Inner Earth.
No matter what, he is also a member of the Titan family, just like Godzilla and other monsters.
If only King Kong did not possess this characteristic, wouldn't that be somewhat unreasonable?!
However…
If that were truly the case, then where would the radiation source providing energy to King Kong be?
He didn't have the opportunity to raid nuclear power plants like those two MUTOs.
Karl was completely baffled by this.
Σ(⊙▽⊙"a???
"Huh?!"
"Wait a minute, that radiation source, could it be me…"
But on second thought, this possibility does seem quite high.
After all, the energy released from Karl's body all originated from the mind stone.
Logically speaking, this should also be considered a special form of radiant energy.
And it's the purest and most powerful kind in the Universe!
Therefore, its impact on Titan creatures is naturally far more powerful than the benefits brought by ordinary nuclear radiation and gamma rays.
King Kong might have been influenced by this energy, which allowed him to successfully awaken the ability to absorb radiant energy, and thus not feel hungry at all even after 13 days without eating!
If this were true.
Then Karl would no longer have to worry about King Kong's "food" problem in the future.
Perhaps… he could even take the opportunity to trick Godzilla into his hands?!
Thinking of this.
Karl decided to test his hypothesis on the handsome fellow immediately.
So he slowly floated into mid-air, forming an energy shield around his body.
Then he asked the bewildered King Kong:
"Handsome, do these lights emanating from my body have any effect on you?"
"I feel very full, very warm…"
King Kong patted his belly contentedly, and continued to communicate telepathically:
"The closer I am to you, the more replenished I feel, like I have endless strength, and even the wounds on my body don't hurt as much… I noticed it when we were fighting in the cave."
Nice!!!
This confirms it.
The cosmic arcane energy emitted by the infinity stones can provide Titan monsters with the energy necessary for survival.
Perhaps even Godzilla's decision not to pursue King Kong earlier was related to this arcane energy?
At least, Karl thought so…
He had originally been troubled by the mysterious power appearing on Titan monsters that could block Mind Chains.
But now, even if he couldn't use Mind Chains to "tame" Godzilla.
He had other methods to bring this Monster King into his camp.
Godzilla, do you want to taste the most delicious and pure radiant energy in the Universe?
If you want… then come work for me!!
...
…
3 days later.
The Hercules successfully arrived at the only port in the Kingdom of Sokovia, Port Dibala.
Karl, along with King Kong and the armed security team, returned to the Hyperspace Group Headquarters by the waiting motorcade.
From departure to return;
From Sokovia, to Skull Island, and then to San Francisco;
It lasted 23 days, with a total voyage of nearly 30,000 kilometers.
This trip to Skull Island, although Karl suffered from the fatigue of travel, he gained a lot.
First, he successfully snatched King Kong from the Monarch Organization.
Secondly, by utilizing King Kong's debut, he made a huge profit, directly pushing his Prestige value to the brink of upgrading.
Finally, he verified the influence of cosmic arcane energy on Titans through King Kong.
Thus officially putting the plan to "tame" Godzilla on the agenda.
As for the good reputation and profound industry influence brought to The Daily Bugle through exclusive live broadcasts during the "ranking matches," there's no need to even mention it.
In short… this time, Karl simply won big!!
...
…
After returning to headquarters.
Karl first sent people to take King Kong to its pre-planned dwelling place—in the dense forest north of the Mountain Top Base.
That area maintained an excellent primitive forest topography and had a very open valley, which was perfect for King Kong to settle down.
Most importantly, the secret tunnel leading to the Mountain Top Base was at the foot of that mountain.
It was perfect for King Kong to help guard.
And from the Hyperspace Group Headquarters, it only took less than 20 minutes by car to reach that area.
If anything unexpected really happened, Karl could fly there in minutes.
Then Karl, accompanied by Zemo, took the special elevator to Samuel Sterns's P4 laboratory on the 18th underground floor.
As soon as he entered, Karl saw Samuel Sterns, dressed in a white lab coat, constantly moving back and forth between experimental equipment and computers.
And besides him.
There were two men and one woman in the laboratory.
Karl had already heard from Zemo on the way.
It seemed that these were three senior researchers recently selected from numerous candidates, all of them highly talented individuals.
"Hmm? Boss, you're back?"
Samuel Sterns, who was originally busy, seemed to suddenly sense Karl's presence.
He suddenly turned around without being prompted, then reported with a look of pleasant surprise:
"You've returned just in time. I've just made significant progress in deciphering the original formula for the Super Soldier Serum…"
"I reckon in another half a month… ah no, just one week will be enough. I'll be able to provide you, Boss, with a perfectly restored, complete version of Dr. Erskine's Super Soldier Serum formula."
At this point, he didn't forget to carefully remind him:
"If you need a sub-level Super Soldier Serum, I can have people start developing it now."
Σ(⊙▽⊙"a???
That fast?!
Although Karl had guessed that Samuel Sterns's deciphering work would be very fast.
But he clearly didn't expect it to be so effective.
One must know, Baron Strucker had been tinkering for over a decade without making any significant progress.
And a genius scientist like Edward Stark, only after the war, by privately retaining a tube of Captain America's blood sample and a lot of Dr. Erskine's first-hand research data.
Only after S.H.I.E.L.D. was officially established, did he spend nearly two years—by the end of 1991—successfully developing the sub-level Super Soldier Serum.
There's no need to even mention other individuals or organizations…
It took a few years at the least, and decades at most.
But Samuel Sterns had only been researching for less than a month and successfully deciphered it!
You tell me if he's strong or not?
This "intellectual Superman" truly lives up to his name.
This undoubtedly proved once again how correct Karl's decision to exchange for him was at the time.
However, Samuel Sterns's overly eager and solicitous demeanor made Karl instinctively wary.
He immediately used the Mind Chains to check the other party's loyalty.
Only after confirming there were no abnormalities did he relax.
Then he said with a look of approval: "Dr. Stern, you've done very well. I greatly appreciate your fighting spirit in bravely challenging peaks on the path of scientific research."
"However, during this journey, I suddenly thought of a completely new research idea, and I wanted to ask you to verify its feasibility…"
"Tell me, Boss."
Samuel Sterns waited quietly, full of interest, for what came next.
He didn't know that he had just walked on the edge of life and death!
