"This is the biology lab, and this is Professor Connors."
Levi continued to show Hope around.
Hope's mouth was already wide open after leaving Dr. Otto's lab, wide enough to fit a whole fist.
Then, they arrived at Professor Connors's lab.
Professor Connors's lab was full of small experimental animals, like a zoo.
Many researchers in White coats were busy recording various data.
When he was in school, Professor Connors could directly exploit students' time for free.
Why else would you say students are good? They're all free labor…
Now, he couldn't do that anymore; he had to hire people.
Levi carried a box and handed the T-Virus to Professor Connors.
"Professor Connors, the contents of this are very important; it must not be leaked."
Levi instructed him, and also had Red Queen maximize the security level.
Red Queen plus T-Virus, Levi felt a strange sense of unease…
As for artificial intelligence, Hope had known about it for a long time, so she wasn't as shocked.
"Alright."
Professor Connors was also very serious.
He went to one side and carefully stored both the T-Virus and its antidote in bulletproof glass.
Then he took out the research data on the T-Virus and began to read it.
As for the woman on the tour, that was none of his business.
Levi began to introduce Hope.
Hope was actually very familiar with Professor Connors.
Thanks to Levi's publicity, everyone knew what he was doing.
If he could succeed, it would be a huge step for humanity.
And now, seeing that the experiment could really reach this stage, she was also very surprised.
She used to think he was a con artist…
Just like the Silicon Valley female devil.
Many so-called new 'technologies' in America are actually just for scamming investments.
And Hope, as an insider, knew just how 'miraculous' this was.
"This is unscientific."
Therefore, she commented.
"I thought it was quite scientific."
Levi shrugged.
Does the Marvel Universe still talk about science?
Even the Trisolarans would get beaten up if they came!
At this moment, Professor Connors became excited.
"Li, this is incredible! I suspect we can fuse the Progenitor Virus with our serum!"
He was instantly amazed when he saw the characteristics of the Progenitor Virus.
It could enhance the host's physical strength, mobility, and prolong life.
The downside was that it was a deadly poison; infected individuals would experience systemic inflammation, skin tissue necrosis, fluid loss, and septic shock, with 99% of infected individuals dying.
And this 'unknown' Umbrella Corporation actually fused the characteristics of the Progenitor Virus with leech genes, which resulted in the T-Virus.
What trash are leeches!
What if it was fused with the Lizard serum?
A drug that could improve physical fitness, regenerate severed limbs, and even prolong life…
Of course, the premise was to solve this lethality problem.
Even the T-Virus still had a very high lethality.
But Professor Connors was very confident about this.
This Umbrella Corporation, he'd never even heard of it!
Are the scientists there capable or not?
"Uh, I don't have the Progenitor Virus."
Levi said.
"Then go find it! That… the Ndipaya tribe, it's extracted from the Sun Garden."
Professor Connors said, exasperated.
This left Levi speechless.
It took a lot of effort to make Professor Connors understand that they didn't have the Sun Garden here.
The Progenitor Virus could be said to be the core pathogen of the Resident Evil World.
Only the 'Mold' could compare to the Progenitor Virus.
Other things like the Plaga parasites were far inferior.
This made Professor Connors very regretful, and he could only say: "Then let's see if we can research this T-Virus and the Lizard serum."
Fortunately, the T-Virus also had the characteristics of the Progenitor Virus.
As for Hope, she was completely confused.
What Progenitor Virus, T-Virus.
But when she returned to the office with Levi, she said with great certainty: "Mr. Li, I am willing to become a member of Future Technology."
"Welcome."
Levi immediately smiled.
Then came Hope's treatment: an annual salary starting at 500,000 U.S. dollars, plus other bonuses.
Hope didn't care about these; she wasn't short on money, mainly wanting to gain some experience.
Moreover, she believed that cooperating with Levi would be beneficial.
Perhaps in the future, Levi could help her and her father reclaim their company.
At least for now, Future Industries had a bright future, much better than Pym Industries!
So Hope decisively signed the contract.
"I've already had Gwen prepare an office for you; you can familiarize yourself with the company first."
Levi didn't immediately assign tasks, but rather let her get acquainted for a couple of days, and then he would ruthlessly exploit her.
"Okay, Boss, do I have an assistant?"
Hope reminded him.
If Levi found her an assistant, Levi would also feel more at ease.
Levi immediately understood and nodded: "I will help you find one."
"Thank you."
Hope nodded, and then Gwen took her to the CEO's office.
Half an hour later, Gwen returned to report.
"How was it?"
Levi asked Gwen.
Gwen poured Water for Levi and said: "She's adapting well. Will she be the CEO from now on?"
"Yes, the company is growing, and we need help."
Levi then said: "Do you have any good friends? Recommend them to be an assistant."
It was better to use acquaintances; at least they were trustworthy.
This stumped Gwen.
She… had no friends.
After much thought, she remembered her high school classmates.
In high school, she and a few classmates formed a band called 'Mary Janes,' and Gwen was the drummer.
This was one of her few 'social interactions.'
And after being bitten by the radioactive spider, she had even less time for socializing.
So she seemed very reclusive.
Therefore, she said: "I do have a friend; she studied journalism."
"What's her name?"
Levi asked.
"Mary Jane Watson."
Hearing this name, Levi reacted, Mary Jane.
A brave and bold girl.
But…
Peter Parker was still a child.
Levi looked strange, but then he remembered that this version of Peter Parker's MJ was a Black girl, and he was relieved.
Black pearls are good, but hard to swallow.
"Ask her if she's willing."
Levi said.
"Okay."
Gwen quickly went out to contact her.
Actually, the band had other friends, like Betty Brant, but she joined the Daily Bugle after graduating high school and became J. Jonah Jameson's assistant.
Now she's with J. Jonah Jameson, slandering Ghost Spider!
Gwen naturally wouldn't recommend her own 'little Black fan.'
Otherwise, Betty would definitely be willing to change jobs.
Soon, Gwen contacted Mary Jane, who was preparing for an internship.
Mary Jane was very happy after receiving the news and immediately agreed.
This was the famous Future Industries; working here was second only to joining Stark Industries in New York.
See, this is reputation.
As long as Future Industries appeared in front of the public often enough, ordinary people would think it was awesome.
