Scientist to God - Chapter 23
Chapter 23: Meet Professor-X
“20%” Norman Osborne face color change, he angrily shouted: “Young man, you know how much will cost 20% Osborne shares, hundreds of billions of dollars, do you think your research worth hundreds of billions of dollars??”
John looked calmly: “This is to save your life? And, I will provide other technology to make Osborne more competitive in the biological field.”
Norman clearly does not believe in his words. He believed in his own experience. He shook his head: “20% is impossible, the highest is 5%, Dr. John, 5% is already very high. I don’t think anyone in this world would think this price less.”
John saw him with a bitter and deep hatred, and smiled: “The 5% stake is not low, but you will only get me to solve your genetic problems. Mr. Norman, you may think about it, don’t regret it later?”
Norman said seriously: “Dr. John, I am a businessman, I don’t believe in the promise of empty talk, the real product I want to see, as long as you can really come up with good test result, we have the opportunity to discuss further, otherwise it just wastes of time for me.”
“It seems that Mr. Norman still do not believe me.” John nodded and chuckled: “Well, I tried to get the solution for your genes Mr. Norman. You provided me with your little blood, I can solve your problem within one month.”
John is not in a hurry to get a 20% shares, and slowly get it later, the other party will one day promise, and he has a comprehensive plan in his mind.
John’s eyes are like a wolf staring at Norman, Norman feels very uncomfortable, and there is an ominous premonition in his heart. He feels that he is trading with this guy, and eventually his Osborne company is likely to get stuck, but he does not way out now, he cherishes his life and he does not want to die.
“I hope so.” Norman finally had no choice but to compromise, let John draw a little blood.
[“Ting! Triggering the task: the host solves the Norman genetic problem, the task time is 10 days, the task success rewards 2000 scientific values, and the task failure deducts 1000 scientific values.”]
After John returned to the Lab, he continued to invest his time in the research.
When he got off the work in afternoon, John and Gwen drove to a suburb of New York City, where there was a school that was unknown. Even local people don’t know that this is a school, just know that this large area is a manor of a big rich man.
When two arrived at the door, a young woman with a white-haired and chocolate skin came out and politely said to the two: “My name is Ororo Monroe, and I am nicknamed as a Storm girl. Professor has already sensed your arrival. Let me come to greet you.”
Seeing the live version of Storm, John could not help but look at her a few more times. This girl is indeed a special thing, but John knows that this woman looks very young on the surface, In fact, it is estimated that she will be around 40-50 years old. The X gene has a role in delaying aging, and most mutants have longevity than ordinary people.
“Thank you Miss Monroe, my name is John, I am a scientist, this is my girlfriend, Gwen Stacy.”
John introduced herself and then followed the Storm into the school.
Just entering the school, John felt that the school’s sky was shrouded in a spiritual energy. This should be the spiritual ability of Professor-X. He protected the school and prevented ordinary people from harassing. When ordinary people come here, he will modify their memory. What remains in memory is just a deserted manor.
The school was originally a manor of Professor-X family, so there is an idyllic scenery everywhere, a greenery, and the scenery is exceptional. How young students are running around in the open space of the square, and some even use their ability to play with each other without any scruples.
Gwen exclaimed: “This is really a paradise.”
Storm smiled and said: “You said it well, Miss Gwen, Professor has always had a wish to provide the mutants with a safe harbor, an environment that they can live in peace.”
“I think Professor has done it now.” Gwen laughed.
Storm shook her head: “It’s just working hard.”
John noticed that on the other hand, the school is very large, and there are many students there. There are a lot more students than the students in the movie. There are 40 or 50 students who play in the square.
He could not help but ask: “Miss Monroe, how many people are there in your school?”
Storm looked at him, vague and said: “There are probably three or four hundred people.”
“Are they all mutants.”
“Yes ”
“How are their abilities? Very good?”
“It’s very common.”
…
Three walked into a building that resembled an old castle, with a bald head waiting in a wheelchair, his looks like about fifty years old, healthy wheat skin, a pair of eyes full of wisdom and vicissitudes.
He saw John and two people, with a strong magnetic voice said: “Welcome Mr. John and Miss Stacy!”
His etiquette is very popular with Western classical aristocrats style. His voice is slow and full of strong charm.
John smiled: “Professor, we finally met. Your school is good!”
“Thank you, please come with me.” Professor smiled and took the two into a living room. Storm sent tea.
John sat very calmly, and Gwen was very nervous next to him. She knew from John said that Professor had a strong telepathic ability. She was afraid that her thinking would have been read by Professor, then Professor will know the secrets of the two of them. They know that the two of them were not mutants, but they changed through genetic fusion. She now regretted following John.
In fact, John let Gwen come together, just to let Professor not read Gwen’s thoughts. Because he knows that this Professor is a good old man, for his friends, under normal circumstances, he will not read the other’s thoughts, so he brought Gwen, let Professor recognize her and become a friend of the Professor. Instead, it is useless to stay away from the Professor. Even if Professor does not use the augmentation instrument thinking, it can cover the entire New York City. It is useless to hide. Instead, it will evoke the curiosity of Professor and expose the secrets of the two.
John’s behavior is to gamble, bet on Professor behavior that he will not read Gwen’s mind.
Looking at the performance of Professor now, it is obviously a gamble, otherwise the old man will not be so indifferent.
