Beauty Man: All Heavens and Immortals

Chapter 313 Solar Storm
Three months later.

new York.

Doom Co.

A huge 30-foot-high bronze statue stands at the entrance of the company building, and the company's founder, Victor Von Doum, overlooks all the visitors.

"What a Victor to build such a huge statue of himself."

Two people came and looked at the bronze statue, and the bald man among them sneered.

"Well, Victor obviously wants everyone who visits for the first time to feel ashamed."

Another man in a suit and leather shoes explained solemnly.

"It's a good thing we're not like that, Reed?"

The bald man Bengrim looked sideways at his companion, thinking of the other's super IQ and unparalleled creativity, he felt proud.

Reed Richards, the man in the suit, shrugged and smiled without saying a word.

His IQ has crushed everyone since he was a child, and everyone who knows him praises him as the world's smartest person, because compared with him, no matter how good other people are, he can shock them to the point of stunned.

Therefore, there will be two kinds of people around him, one is a bald man, who is deeply admired by him and willing to be his deputy, and the other is a person who is deeply jealous and wants to chase but is powerless to despair, such as this company The owner Victor von Doom.

They are all classmates and both have PhDs, but Victor chose to give up scientific research and turn to business because he knew that no matter how hard he tried, the things he had studied hard all his life were not even as good as Reed's.

This situation is so obvious in scientific research, and it is so desperate!
"Reed, why are we here? This guy put aside his good scientific research and turned to business, doing all these low-level things."

The bald man expressed his displeasure with Victor. As Reed's super supporter, he couldn't understand Victor's overreaching and challenging Reed time and time again.

"Ben, this isn't the first time we've been knocking on the door. Our research has drained our funds, and now we can't even afford the mortgage on the Baxter Building."

Reed gave a helpless wry smile, then shrugged his shoulders and said, "Besides, Victor isn't that bad, he's just a bit arrogant. We should think more about the significance to human beings after the experiment is successful. Let's put other things aside."

"Your mentality is still so good."

Bald Ben smiled and said, "I just hope he won't make things difficult for us."

"Think about everything in a better direction."

Reed smiled gently: "We are all scientists. At the juncture of such a major scientific breakthrough, I believe Victor will not make things difficult for us."

"I hope so."

Building top floor.

The lights dimmed, Reed pointed to the projection, and introduced passionately: "My research shows that exposure to high-energy cosmic storms generated by the coronal solar wind may trigger the evolution of early planetary life. Six weeks In the end, a cloud with the above characteristics will pass through the orbit of the earth. If it can be studied in space, it will fundamentally advance our understanding of the structure of the human genome, cure countless diseases, prolong life, and let children live longer Stronger and healthier..."

"Turn off."

A voice interrupted Reid's speech.

"I don't think I have fully explained my proposal."

Reid tried to explain the significance of this scientific research more clearly, but he didn't know the person who interrupted him. Victor von Doum was already moved. He just wanted to take the opportunity to attack Reed so that he could gain an advantage in the next negotiation.

"I think I've heard you."

Victor sat on the boss chair, looked at the smartest person in the world from the darkness, and said slowly: "Reed, you really haven't changed at all, you still carry the world on your shoulders, and you always want to reach out and touch the stars, but your dream There are bills to pay, too, don't you?"

A magazine was thrown in front of Reed, and what made him smile wryly was that it was him on the cover, and the title revealed his predicament in four characters: "Brink of Bankruptcy."

"Do you remember when we were in school, we said that we must cooperate in the future."

Reed has a passion for scientific research, without the slightest discouragement, and continued: "We have this opportunity now. This storm is deadly, but your space station has a special protective cover that can protect the people doing research inside."

"so……"

Victor said blankly, "You not only took a fancy to my money, but also my toys."

Reed nodded with a smile.

Victor played his true colors as a businessman, and continued to suppress: "Tell me, if the Jianmei Space Agency doesn't believe you, why should I believe it?"

Ben and Reid looked at each other, and said with a sneer: "So you have been eyeing our research for a long time. Among the opponents in Jianmei Space Agency, you are probably the one?"

"Ha ha."

Victor's eyelids twitched, and he smiled calmly: "Just kidding, what era is it now? Jianmei is no longer the only superpower on Earth back then. With the rise of the Dark Knight and the Utopian Federation, there are many people under the Statue of Liberty. The pair of kneeling bronze statues that were released have already shattered the glory of this country, and the parliament passed the highest proportion of military expenditure in history, so it is normal for experiments like yours to be blocked."

"maybe."

Ben took a deep look at Victor, and said lightly: "It seems that you are not interested in our experiment anymore, Reed, let's look again, we can always find a discerning investor, I remember the Umbrella Group expressed interest , maybe we can go there and see."

"Umbrella Group?"

Victor tried his best to control his emotions, and said disdainfully: "Don't tell me, you don't know the details of the other party. If you cooperate with them, I'm afraid you will have to quit Jianmei in the future, because you will be suppressed from all sides, and Time is running out, besides my space station, do you have any other options?"

"how?"

Ben sneered and said, "Are you willing to trust us now? We are the ones who were rejected by Jianmei Space Agency."

"It's my job to be one step ahead."

Victor knew that he could not suppress it anymore, otherwise the other party would really leave, and his loss would be too great. As Ben said, he kept staring at Reed. When Reed was about to contact the space agency, he He has already used his contacts to trap Reed in advance, in order to force Reed to come to him and ask him to cooperate, so that he can take advantage of the opportunity to obtain this amazing scientific research result.

"Insight into things that others can't. Besides, we are classmates. How could I, an old classmate, refuse Reid's request?"

"You were not so easy to talk just now."

Ben sneered and said, "So what kind of conditions are you, a genius, willing to give now? If you still try to suppress us as before and want to squeeze us dry, please don't open your mouth."

"..."

Victor's face turned dark, and he glanced at Ben displeasedly, cursing in his heart: "This dead bald man is addicted to being Reed's little brother. After so many years, he is still as annoying as before."

"Ben, business is business."

Reed has a gentle personality and is dedicated to pursuing scientific research. Now Victor is indeed his best choice. Seeing the two of them confronting each other, he was afraid of getting too stiff, so he smoothed things over: "It's just work."

"good."

A female voice came from behind, and the two of them turned around to see a delicate blonde beauty standing there, with a professional attire that undoubtedly highlighted her good figure.

"Business is business."

"Oh, this is embarrassing."

Ben recognized the person coming, glanced at Reed, muttered in his heart, but greeted him with a big smile on his face, opened his arms to hug him, and said warmly: "Hi, Susan, long time no see. "

"Hi Ben, nice to meet you."

Susan smiled, "How is Debbie?"

"she's fine."

"That's good."

After the greeting, Susan and Reid looked at each other for a few seconds, and the field suddenly fell silent, and a thick atmosphere of dog blood floated in the conference room.

"Presumably you also know Susan Stone, the director of my genetic research department."

Victor came over, put his arms around Susan's slender waist, and said with a half-smile: "Is it okay for you to cooperate?"

"no problem!"

Reed and Susan said in unison.

"very good."

Victor snapped his fingers and smiled close to Susan's ear: "Susan, you came just in time, you know? The great Reed Richards just asked me for help. I still remember when I was at MIT Back then, Reed made a lot of students feel like junior high school kids at a tech fair, and now..."

Victor looked at Reed, tightened his arms around Susan's waist, and hugged Reed's former lover even tighter. He smiled triumphantly, "Please don't mind, but I am really intoxicated at this moment."

"If you want to be intoxicated, it is not too late to be intoxicated until the cooperation is reached."

Ben interrupted: "Time is running out now, tell me, what conditions can you give?"

In the original time and space, Victor insisted on a 75% share and subsequent patent rights. He was extremely domineering and wished he could swallow Reed alive. But in this time and space, with Owen's intervention, the situation has changed.

Owen is the boss behind the Umbrella Group. After so many years, it is no longer a secret. Although Jianmei can't wait to destroy everything about Owen immediately, they can only keep this desire in their hearts and let Umbrella The group continues to exist.

It's just that although Jianmei didn't dare to touch the Umbrella Group, it was still easy to threaten other partners who tried to cooperate with the Umbrella Group. Therefore, although the Umbrella Group had contacted Reid very early and expressed interest in its experiment, Reed Deeply concerned, he did not put the Umbrella Group on the list of priority cooperation, and would rather cooperate with Victor, who is somewhat hostile to him.

But Victor also understands that if it is really pushed to the limit, it is not impossible for Reed to turn around and directly find cooperation with the umbrella group. After all, for many scientists, countries and nations are imaginary, and only scientific progress is truly meaningful. The most meaningful thing is to move directly to the Utopia Federation after the cooperation. Maybe you can study the advanced technology there.

Therefore, Victor did not dare to be as domineering as the original time and space. After arguing, a deal was reached, and the two sides went to prepare separately. The high-energy solar storm that is rare in a thousand years is coming.

Utopian Federation.

Drop drop!
"Huh? What is this?"

Minty looked at the bright red mark on the screen and asked in surprise.

"Miss Minty, this is something the master asked me to note, and now there is a new development."

The electronic sound of the super artificial intelligence dark night sounded.

"open to take a look."

Minty ordered.

"Yes."

The dark night shows Reed Richards who was marked by Owen, as well as the latest experimental progress.

"Solar storm?"

Mindy's eyes lit up, and she suddenly remembered Owen's promise at the beginning, and exclaimed in surprise: "This should be the opportunity Owen mentioned, I can finally obtain superpowers, and I will no longer be a burden in the future, Dark Night, hurry up and inform Owen .”

"Miss Minty, the master has shut down the communication. I don't have authorization, so I can't take the initiative to contact him."

An Ye explained.

"Authorization?"

Minty frowned and said, "I authorize you to contact Owen immediately."

"Permission granted, please contact me immediately, please wait a moment."

beep...

"Minty, what's the matter?"

The communication was connected, and Owen appeared on the other end of the video. To Minty's surprise, Owen was holding a scroll and looked like a hard-working student.

"Owen, where are you?"

"I'm in Karma Taj."

Owen closed the book, and a line of large characters printed on the cover could be vaguely seen: "Soul Projection and Spiritual Practice."

"It's been more than three months, and you're still there."

Minty read the book impatiently, glanced over it, and muttered, "Come back soon, the opportunity you and I mentioned back then has come, I want to get superpowers."

"Opportunity, superpower?"

Owen was a little dazed.

"You won't forget, will you?"

Minty yelled dissatisfied, and quickly told what happened.

"Oh."

Owen was stunned.

At the beginning, Mingdy wanted to improve his strength. Because he was afraid of the black technology in this world, he never passed on the power of his immortal martial arts world to the other party. Instead, he thought of the opportunity to rub against the Fantastic Four. ’s super power is very powerful, and it can be called Minty’s best choice.

It’s just that Reed Richards didn’t carry out this project at all at the time, so he put it on hold for the time being. Owen asked An Ye to mark it and ignored it. A few years passed in a flash, and Owen traveled through the world in the middle, and he had already put this project on hold. I forgot.

"That's not it."

Owen naturally wouldn't say that. After reading the information collected by An Ye, the powerful primordial spirit instantly enveloped the earth, and the situation of Reed and others came into his mind.

"How about it?"

Minty asked expectantly.

Ever since she was captured by the Demon King, although she was rescued by Owen, she was still a little depressed, because she really became a drag on Owen every time, which made her a bit stronger than she could accept, and her desire to become stronger became stronger day by day .

When she was in the Utopia Federation, she spent time in the cutting-edge laboratory, and wanted to further enhance her strength from the perspective of technology. However, although technology is advancing rapidly, it cannot be achieved overnight.

Now that such an opportunity suddenly appeared, how could she not be excited?

"This is indeed an opportunity."

Owen pondered: "But now it seems that it is no longer suitable, you have a better choice..."
