Chapter 124 Return to New York

Chapter 124 Return to New York

The next day, early morning.

Seve woke up and saw the big hand on the mountain. She took it away angrily and sat up. The thin quilt slipped off, revealing her graceful curves.

"This guy has really completed the enhanced transformation and is extraordinary..."

She looked at Bai Ye sleeping soundly, feeling both love and hate in her heart.

Shaked his head.

Seve put on a black bathrobe and walked into the bathroom barefoot.

Water spurted from the shower head and splashed over her body.

Seve closed her eyes gently, feeling the water rush against her body.

"Stay in North Africa, or go to America?"

This is indeed a difficult choice for her, and it will determine the different directions of her future path.

"Black Superman, Spider-Woman, Dr. Lizard, biochemical monsters, terminal virus..."

Sever sighed and whispered to himself:

"The world has changed. It is beyond the control of ordinary people. No matter how many conspiracies and tricks are used, it is meaningless without enough power to support it."

"perhaps……"

At the right time, Bai Ye also opened the bathroom door and walked in. He smiled shyly and said, "Hey, what a coincidence. Are you here to take a shower too?"

Sever: "..."

In the bathroom where the water vapor was spreading continuously, as the woman screamed, the only sound left in the bathroom was the sound of water flowing.

More than an hour passed.

Bai Yecai held Seve who collapsed in his arms, walked out of the bathroom, and put her on the big bed.

a long time.

Coming out of the state of setting off fireworks in his brain, Sever looked at the ceiling and asked:

"You came to North Africa just to solve the problem of Killian and Roxon. Now that the problem has been solved, when will you return to New York?"

"We have to wait for two more days before we talk." Bai Ye said, smoking a cigarette: "It is not an easy task to reduce the failure rate of Extremis Virus. I have already discussed it with Serol Shi, another chief researcher of Extremis Virus. We have communicated with him and he is thinking of a solution, but the situation is not very optimistic."

Seve frowned and asked, "What do you mean? Does that mean that the failure rate of Extremis Virus cannot be reduced?"

"I can only say that it is very difficult." Bai Ye said: "There is no way. There is nothing in this world that is 100% sure. If you want to obtain extraordinary abilities, you still have to take some risks."

"Didn't you use Extremis Virus as a bargaining chip to invite me to be the CEO of that Saturn Biotechnology?" Seve rolled his eyes and said: "When I was already starting to loosen my mind, you told me that I wanted to complete it. As the desperate virus strengthens, do we have to take risks?"

"Haha, don't be anxious, just listen to what I have to say." Bai Ye laughed and said: "In view of the current situation of the Extremis virus, Serriol Stern put forward two ideas. One is to reduce the effectiveness of the Extremis virus and make it more effective. It becomes more controllable, and the extraordinary abilities it may bring will be much weaker. The other is to spend a lot of resources to build a new enhanced version of the Extremis virus based on the current Extremis virus."

"The extraordinary ability obtained by reducing the effect of the Extremis virus...isn't that much different from nothing?" Seve said speechlessly: "The other enhanced version of the Extremis virus can guarantee a 100% enhancement success rate?"

"Don't just focus on extraordinary abilities. The weakened version of the Extremis virus may not have great extraordinary abilities, but it can cure disabilities. Think about it, perfect severed limbs can be reassembled, and your missing limbs, eyes, etc. , ears, noses, and mouths can be grown for civilian use. How big a market will this be? The minimum guarantee is also 50 billion U.S. dollars, right?" Bai Ye blinked and said: "As long as a tube of Extremis virus serum is injected, you can escape from the virus. No matter how disabled you are, you will never get sick again, and there is no risk of an out-of-control explosion. I think this is also very attractive to many rich people, right? I call this version 2.0 of the Extremis Virus."

"As for the enhanced version of Extremis, I call it version 3.0. The current cost of a tube of serum of Extremis 1.0 is about US$2 million, while the cost of version 3.0 of Extremis will be more than US$10 million. According to Serol Stern’s idea may be able to reduce the reinforcement failure rate to about 10%, and there is no need to sell this, just use it exclusively for your own use.”

Seve frowned and pondered for a while, then said: "If the failure rate of the Extremis virus can be reduced to about 10%, then I can completely accept it. I don't believe that I will be so unlucky. The 10% chance will just happen to me. ”

She changed her voice: "But Bai Ye...you have a really dark heart. A bottle of the serum of version 1.0 of Extremis virus only costs 2 million U.S. dollars. You sell it to me to strengthen it, and it costs 100 million U.S. dollars a tube?"

Seve felt that Bai Ye was worthy of being a member of the Osborne family. He had a black heart. It’s not that he wouldn’t let you make money, but you couldn’t make black money, right? With a profit rate of 50 times, why didn’t you die?

"Ahem, how can this be considered as my evil heart?" Bai Ye coughed and said, "You are the CEO of Osborne North Africa Branch. You don't know that the drugs sold by our pharmaceutical company can be directly calculated into the manufacturing cost. ?Do I still need to recoup the huge R\u0026D expenses I spent in the early stage?"

"It's just like meglitin for the treatment of leukemia. In Hengsan, the ex-factory price of pharmaceutical companies is US$100, and there is still a lot of profit to be made. However, in other parts of the world, melinin is sold for almost US$7,000, 70 The profit difference is 3 times, is this more sinister than me?"

"It is precisely because I am now the CEO of the Osborne Group branch that I truly know how dark your pharmaceutical company's heart is." Seve glanced at Bai Ye with disdain and said, "If you Osborne really saves the suffering, Angels, so where does your market value of more than 250 billion US dollars come from? You are real big capitalists, not much different from arms dealers like Tony Stark, but it was Osborne who chose pharmaceuticals. It’s just an industry.”

"Okay, okay, I'm a bad person, okay?" Bai Ye spread his hands helplessly and said, "Then do you still want the CEO position of Saturn Biotech? If not, I'll give it to someone else. When I return to New York, I will reorganize and establish Saturn Bio. Don’t let me appoint a CEO by then, but you come to me and tell me that you are willing to do this job for me. "

"I want this position." Seve smiled brightly and said very coolly: "But you have to give me some more time. I am still the CEO of your Osborne Group's North Africa branch. Many things are complicated. It’s only half done, so there’s no way I’m going to give it up right now, right? It’s you, Osborne, who will lose by then! I’ll go back to New York after the things here are settled.”

Now that Sever has thought clearly, if she wants to occupy a certain position in the future of this world, extraordinary abilities are indispensable, so she decided to wait until version 3.0 of the Extremis virus is developed and strengthened herself before talking about other things. .

"Okay, the matter is settled." Bai Ye nodded: "But you have to hurry up. Now my forces are developing rapidly, just like a snowball, growing exponentially. If you are late, If not, there will be no place for you."

…

North Africa, desperate virus laboratory.

Bai Ye had a remote video call with Serol Stern.

"Master Stern, the two suggestions you made yesterday gave me a choice. I went back last night and thought about it again and again. I think children only have to do multiple-choice questions. Of course adults want them all." He clenched his fists. , said: "Extremis Virus version 2.0 can be used by civilians. It is a money-making weapon and a cash cow. This research and development direction is very necessary and is a shield that can protect our basic market. Extremis Virus version 3.0 is a powerful weapon that can be forged It is best for our offensive swords to complement each other.”

In the conversation between White Night and Serol Stern yesterday, after receiving the plan for version 1.0 of the Extremis virus, Serior Stern fully praised Killian's talent in bioengineering. However, when he conducted many experiments Finally, I regretfully told Bai Ye that the enhancement failure rate of Extremis Virus version 1.0 has been reduced to a minimum of 30%, and there is no general direction to reduce the failure rate.

Subsequently, Serior Stern proposed two research directions, Extremis Virus 2.0 version and Extremis Virus 3.0 version, for Bai Ye to choose.

"That's it..." Serior Stern scratched his head and said: "It's not impossible, but if I do it all by myself, I might not be able to bear it. It's best to separate two laboratories and conduct research and development separately. "

"Okay." Bai Ye thought for a while and said, "I will transfer an A-level bioengineer from the Osborne Group to North Africa to take charge of the work of this laboratory. Master Stern, you will be responsible for the research and development of the 3.0 version of the Extremis virus. Go to work, this North African laboratory is responsible for version 2.0 of the Extremis virus."

For Bai Ye, the work on version 3.0 of Extremis Virus is obviously more important. He feels more at ease if this work is left to S-class Serol Stern.

As for the version 2.0 of the Extremis virus used to collect money, the existence of it is the icing on the cake, but in fact it does not have it, and it will not have much impact on Bai Ye. It can only be used to benefit the people and provide a cure for disabilities and various terminal diseases.

"I have no problem." Serior Stern sighed again and said: "In fact, the work of researching the 3.0 version of the Extremis virus does not necessarily require me to recruit an A-level bioengineer from the Osborne Group. Hengsan may have done better than me, because the research in these two directions is based on the Extremis virus version 1.0, which is not too difficult. It is mainly some very tedious work and engineering. Academic issues, I’m not very good at this, it’s like Killian developed version 1.0 of the Extremis virus before me.”

"Ah this..." Bai Ye hesitated: "The main reason is that Osborne Group's manpower is not tight recently. Every A-level engineer is a treasure. They must be responsible for an important experimental project on hand. It is already very expensive to transfer one. It’s easy, but adjusting two... is too difficult. Maybe I still have to trouble you, Master Stern, for a while. Those who can do more work, Master Stern, we really can’t do it without you!!"

Actually, Bai Ye himself is the best candidate. With his super brain talent, it is difficult to develop Extremis Virus 1.0 from scratch, but it is very difficult to do repetitive verification work such as Extremis Virus 2.0 and Extremis Virus 3.0. convenient.

But Bai Ye has an impetuous personality. How could he spend a lot of time on this kind of scientific research and endure loneliness and boredom? If he had this time, he would definitely use it to fuck his sister.

Again, if there are subordinates who can do it, he can just sit back and enjoy the ride. Why do he need to go into battle himself?

Bai Ye's abilities now are too strong, so he can do anything and everything becomes very easy, so does he have to spend all his time on these things instead of enjoying himself?

Impossible!

Seriel Stern scratched his head again: "I understand."

I have a hard life, there is nothing I can do.

After ending the call with Serol Stern, Bai Ye smiled and lit a cigarette: "This person is really easy to deal with. If you just praise him a little more, you can handle him. He is completely different from the ambitious Killian." It’s different.”

"Alas." Bai Ye's face became sad again: "It's different from that Maya Hansen who is full of nonsense."

Killian is solved, and the problem with Maya Hansen is about to come to light.

Bai Ye really didn't know what evil he had done in his previous life, and why he was allowed to meet Killian and Maya Hansen, a pair of twins.

After walking out of the laboratory, Bai Ye came outside the base.

Several able-bodied members of Extremis Virus are challenging each other, using their strongest unrestricted fighting skills to guide their talents to the limit.

There were people from the death squad watching the fun.

"Master Bai Ye." Barney, the captain of the death squad, came to Bai Ye, rubbed his hands and asked with a smile: "Is our mission completed this time? Is there anything else?"

To be honest, Barney thought that this time he came to North Africa with Bai Ye to do a mission worth 8 million US dollars. What awaited them would be a hard battle. He was prepared to reduce the number of troops in the battle. Unexpectedly, he was attacking Roxon. At the base, a few Extremis Virus Adapters under Bai Ye broke out and defeated Roxon's team with overwhelming force. Their suicide squads did not play any role and successfully captured a base. The task was completed too easily. Just following him around made him feel a little guilty about taking the 8 million US dollars.

"Oh, the task has been completed. I will notify the bank to transfer the money to you."

Bai Ye took out her mobile phone.

In fact, when Bai Ye brought the death squad here, he had no idea that he could create those capable of the terminal virus this time, so he needed a group of cannon fodder to serve as the king's vanguard. He brought them here just to prepare them to be used as cannon fodder. , It’s just now. Although the death squads took a ride, they actually took the risk after all. Bai Ye wouldn’t even want to blackmail them for this small amount of money.

soon.

Barney's cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that the bank transfer information had arrived.

He quickly smiled and thanked: "Thank you, Master! You are so generous and it is a pleasure to work with you. If something like this happens again in the future, you can still call us."

The members of their suicide squad can each share more than 1 million US dollars this time, which is already a lot. If you save a little money, it will be enough for several years.

"no problem."

Bai Ye nodded in agreement.

When I need cannon fodder again in the future, I will definitely not forget you.

Anyone in a superior position would definitely not dislike having too many cannon fodder at their disposal.

"Um..." After receiving the mission payment from Bai Ye, Barney had no intention of leaving immediately. He hesitated for a while before saying: "Master Bai Ye, it seems that someone has appeared in Osborne's laboratory. A special medicine that is enough to strengthen the human body. I wonder what conditions would be met if outsiders wanted to inject this medicine?"

After seeing the powerful fighting power of the Extremis Virus Adapters, Barney and the others already felt a strong sense of crisis, because the Extremis Virus Adapters could wipe out a group of them alone, which was terrifying.

If people with Extremis Virus abilities become common in the future, where will there be any chance for big-headed soldiers like them to do missions?

The living space was completely squeezed out.

Barney came to Baiye just to ask if they had a chance to be injected with this biological agent. If they didn't have the chance, Barney also wanted to test whether terminal virus adaptors would become popular on a large scale in the future.

"If you want to become a candidate for the Extremis Virus, it's very simple. There are no special restrictions for anyone, you just need a suitable price." Bai Ye raised a finger and said: "One hundred million US dollars! Only one hundred million US dollars. With US$100 million, you can become an all-powerful, desperate virus adaptor, invulnerable and immortal. With only US$100 million, you cannot suffer losses or be cheated!”

Barney: "..."

"Master Bai Ye, are you kidding?" Barney said helplessly: "Do you think we big-headed soldiers have 100 million U.S. dollars? It's impossible to come here to be mercenaries with 100 million U.S. dollars. We all have no money." Travel around the world and enjoy life.”

"Then there is nothing we can do." Bai Ye said regretfully: "100 million US dollars is the cost price. The bottom line is that our relationship is good. To outsiders, I can't sell him 200 million US dollars for a tube of serum."

Barney left Bai Ye satisfied.

It seems that the Extremis Virus Adapters are unlikely to take away their business. The cost of manufacturing personal Adapters is 100 million US dollars. Even the U.S. military cannot afford to support many of them. Most tasks require people like them. People.

…

Bai Ye stayed in North Africa for another two days, and after finishing everything, Osborne's A-level engineers were in place, and he flew back to New York.

Tian Yangsheng, Gao Jin, Tian Yangyi and others also left with Bai Ye, leaving behind 10 desperate virus survivors to guard the North African laboratory.

Unless monsters like the Hulk and Thor went to North Africa to cause trouble, 10 Extremis Virus Suitable Persons, even if Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Falcon went together, they would have to give They were crippled and sent back together.

JFK Airport.

When Bai Ye led people out of the airport, he saw Andy waiting.

"Andy, I haven't seen you for a few days, I miss you so much!"

Bai Ye laughed loudly, walked forward, picked Andy up and waved him around.

"Let me go! Let me go!" Andy, in Bai Ye's arms, hit Bai Ye's chest hard with his small fists, and said angrily: "How old are you, and you still play with children like this? A trick?"

"I'm just an 18-year-old and 70-month-old baby!"

Bai Ye smiled and let go of Andy.

The two people got into Andy's car.

Bai Ye picked up his phone and opened Twitter to see if anything new had happened in New York in the past few days since he had been away.

did not expect.

As soon as he opened Twitter, what was pushed to him was the retirement news of Welfare Ji, whom he had followed for a long time.

[It has become increasingly difficult to make money recently. Dear bosses, I want to change my job. Is there any job recommendation that can earn 30,000 US dollars a month? Not illegal. 】

Bai Ye thought for a while and gave a reply:

【Go sell loquats! 】
