âEveryone listen up. This is Feng Lin, a talented genetic researcher our company has just recruited. Heâs now a member of your research team! Even though Feng Lin is young, his understanding of myths and legends far surpasses that of ordinary people, and he was also well-versed in genetic theories. Thus, all of you must work well together. The company has decided that as long as this topic is tackled, weâll take out 100 million star coins as your bonus.â
Manager Frank was in a very good mood after hearing personally from Feng Lin that he had agreed to stay. In order to show how highly he regarded Feng Lin, Manager Frank personally introduced him to the Research and Development Department (R&D Department). In addition, he also made a solemn announcement of a tempting bonus.
âAll hail, the Manager! Youâre really generous!â
âI canât wait to get started on tackling this topic!â
â100 million star coins! Itâs 100 million star coins! Even if all of us were to split it evenly, weâd still be able to purchase one of the most luxurious villas on the lavish Pluto Resort Star!â
...
Cheers broke out amongst the R&D Department. Everyone was extremely motivated.
As for Feng Lin?
Sorry, no one paid him any attention at all.
He was just a newcomer and wasnât worth paying too much attention to.
Moreover, this person had just offended the team leader of the R&D Departmentâs Research Taskforce. The team leader was a very petty person.
They seemed to already anticipate the tragic situation that Feng Lin would be put through. He would probably be chased out by the team leader very soon.
Of course, Feng Lin didnât care about their opinions and just pondered silently.
100 million star coins would be paid out as the reward if the research topic was tackled?
This was really exaggerating. What kind of research topic had such a great value?
Feng Lin was a little surprised, but he felt more excited than he was surprised.
A research topic like this would be very technical and involve profound genomics knowledge. If he was involved in this research topic and the technical difficulty was cleared, it would be a great experience for him as well. He would definitely benefit greatly from it.
His path to becoming a geneticist in the future would become smoother as well.
Feng Lin was glad that he had told Manager Frank that he agreed to stay. Otherwise, not only would he be unable to afford the penalty for the breach of contract, but he might also become like the other genetic researcher interns, sent to formulate medicine day and night, working like robots.
Not only was it time and effort consuming, but he wouldnât be able to learn much from it either. Other than getting a pay of 50,000 star coins a month, he wouldnât be able to get away with anything else.
If money was what he wanted, he wouldnât have to come to this place. He could kill monsters in the virtual universe to get gene drops, then synthesizing them into high-grade gene modules before selling them. It would bring him a lot more money than the salary he was paid here.
Knowledge was priceless!
Knowledge concerning geneticists were considered to be extremely invaluable. This was what Feng Lin held in high regards.
Manager Frank personally brought Feng Lin to meet the Research Taskforceâs team leader, Aikeâthe treacherous-looking man. âAike, Feng Lin will be under your charge from now on. He has a unique understanding of genomic theories and you must put his talent to good use!â
âOf course! Manager, please rest assured. Iâll definitely take good care of Feng Lin.â Aike said with a shadow of a smile, appearing to be cynical as he placed a greater emphasis on the words âtake good careâ.
Feng Linâs heart sank. This person was up to no good!
âThatâs good then!â Manager Frank didnât think much about it and nodded before leaving.
The moment Manager Frank left, Aike immediately glared at Feng Lin coldly. He was no longer smiling and his countenance had changed.
âFrom today onward, youâll be a member of our team! You must work hard. Our R&D Department is a core department in the Giant Pharmaceutical Company, and we donât take in useless people. If I were to discover that you are slacking in your job, I will dock all of your bonus and even your pay!â
âYes, Sir!â Feng Lin replied calmly.
Clearly, his earlier actions of objecting to human experiments had offended this person greatly.
However, Feng Lin knew that as long as he didnât let Aike get a handle on himself, there was nothing the latter would be able to do to him.
After all, Aike was merely a Research Taskforceâs team leader, not yet the manager of the R&D Department. Aike could only make things difficult for Feng LIn and wasnât able to control an employeeâs destiny.
Seeing that Feng Lin didnât show any signs of apprehension, Aikeâs eyes narrowed, revealing a viperâs glow. âAlright, it seems that youâre very confident. You can get to work now!â
Feng Lin spread out his hands. âSince Iâm going to start working, I need to at least be told what the research topic is, right?â
Hearing that, Aike immediately revealed a malicious smile. âThe topic? Thatâs easy! To formulate a genetic medicine that even ordinary people can take to increase their vitality!â
Feng Linâs eyes were agape and he instinctively said, âThatâs impossible!â
Gene potions contained spiritual substances and had astonishing energies. Ordinary peopleâs bodies wouldnât be able to tolerate it, and drinking it recklessly would cause them to explode!
It would be a real explosion!
Even the potion of life, a gene potion that didnât have a grade, would need to be diluted by a lot before ordinary people could take them, let alone actual gene potions.
His first reaction was that Aike was toying with him.
âWhy is it impossible?â A ridiculing smirk appeared on Aikeâs face, and he sent a set of the research topic onto Feng Linâs microchip.
Feng Lin opened it and discovered that this was actually real. It was real!
To think that the Giant Pharmaceutical Company was really trying to research gene potions that ordinary people could take as well. If they were to really succeed, it was likely to become a great discovery that would astonish the entire Interstellar Space. How much would the patent alone sell for? One billion? Ten billion? 100 billion?...
No, it was already inestimable.
It was no wonder that Manager Frank would dare to bring out 100 million as a bonus. It wasnât considered much.
Seeing how Feng Linâs eyes were wide open and his mouth agape, Aike kept on smirking at the side. âIgnorant and ill-informed. If you donât know about something, it doesnât mean that it doesnât exist! Based on the archaeological discoveries from ancient relics, mysterious medicine that humans could take had existed in the era of myths and legends.
âThere were many myths and legends that said of how a person could reach the stage of ârebornâ, instantly evolving into the higher level. There were also those that spoke of people that rose up to greater statuses in a flash. What weâre going to do now is to restore such amazing skills and bring great benefit to mankind. What are mere human experiments? They are contributing to mankind! These human trash can still be put to good use; thus, it is already the greatest blessings to them.
âKid, today, youâve questioned the way our R&D Department does things. Iâm already very displeased about it. From now on, I hope that you can have a clear view of things. Otherwise, donât blame me for not going easy on you!â
Feng Lin fell silent.
Aike was the person-in-charge of this topic, and Feng Lin didnât have to bicker with him over a mere momentary fury, landing himself in a difficult position.
Having been humans of two lifetimes, Feng Linâs mental age was no longer as young as how his appearance made him out to be. He held back his momentary anger.
After warning Feng Lin, Aike walked up to an empty laboratory table and put a gene potion formula on it. He then said, âThis is your spot! Iâll give you one day time to research and give me the improved formula for this Adrenaline Potion. This formula is extremely important to our research topic. If you donât complete this mission, donât blame me for deducting your pay.
âIâll give you another warning. Our Giant Pharmaceutical Companyâs R&D Department wonât keep trash. Donât think of bluffing your way through! Otherwise, hehe...â
He laughed coldly a few times and left directly.
Feng Linâs countenance sank as he looked at the Adrenaline Potion formula, feeling very troubled.
This was really troublesome...
Improve a gene potion formula?
Wasnât this something that geneticists should be doing?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He was merely a genetic researcher. This was clearly making things difficult for him!
