160: Mellon joins the foundation and prepares to undergo head transplant surgery

"Mr. K."

"Why hasn't Group A changed yet?"

Melon XII asked nervously, watching the live broadcast.

He also held high hopes for the Longevity Drug.

A head transplant could give him a healthy body.

The Longevity Drug could extend his lifespan.

Only by combining the two could his body return to its peak.

Although he knew that even a miraculous elixir wouldn't take effect that quickly, he couldn't help but worry.

He worried the Longevity Drug would have no effect.

This would shatter the hope that had just sparked within him.

"Melon, let's not rush."

"According to the Longevity Drug's efficacy description, after a monkey is injected with Longevity medicine, it takes at least an hour to take effect."

"During this time, we can observe the recovery of the monkeys that have already undergone head transplant surgery."

Jarvis named the monkey that had undergone head transplant surgery: Adam.

Adam is a figure rich in mythical legends.

It symbolized the monkey gaining a brand new life.

No, that's not right.

It was a monkey's life.

Adam was recovering very well now; outwardly, he looked no different from a young monkey, but inside resided an aged soul.

After reliable experimental data monitoring,

Adam, who had undergone the head transplant surgery, could live for another 10 years without any problems.

What did this concept mean?

A monkey's lifespan is generally twenty years, and now, after a head transplant, it could live for another ten years.

In other words,

it extended the monkey's life by half.

If viewed in terms of the average human age, if you could only live to 80, but after undergoing a head transplant, you could live to 120.

If combined with the Longevity Drug,

extending human life by double would not be a problem.

"Come, Adam."

"Perform a backflip for our friends in the live broadcast room."

Monkeys are spiritual and can, to a certain extent, understand human speech.

Furthermore, Adam was a performing monkey.

After professional training,

Adam could understand Jarvis's words... Adam actually put his right hand to his ear and scratched it. This action was amusing and very monkey-like.

Immediately after,

Adam pushed off with his right leg.

The center of gravity of his entire body shifted downwards, then abruptly lifted upwards.

Adam then leaped into the air.

His movements looked very smooth, without the slightest awkwardness or a sense of old age.

After tracing a perfect arc in mid-air,

his feet landed steadily on the ground.

"Ee-ya, ee-ya..."

Adam bared his teeth at Jarvis, making an unclear sound. He seemed somewhat excited, perhaps seeking praise from Jarvis.

Melon XII watched this scene, his eyes wide.

He was deeply shaken.

Now, where was there even a trace of old age in this monkey, Adam?

If judged solely by appearance, this was clearly a young monkey.

With the example of the monkey head transplant before him,

he urgently wanted a head transplant to possess a young body and live his second life.

Immediately after,

Jarvis conducted various recovery tests on Adam.

The results all indicated that

Adam was recovering well.

The head transplant surgery was very successful... Soon,

an hour passed.

Compared to the monkeys in Group B, the monkeys in Group A showed obvious changes.

Group B was old and decrepit, with dull eyes.

The entire monkey's mental state.

No, that's not right.

All the monkeys in Group B were already half in the grave; what mental state could they have?

In stark contrast,

Group A was distinctly different.

After being injected with the Longevity Drug, the dull membranes of the Group A monkeys' eyes suddenly became bright.

The monkeys that were originally sluggish, lacking any energy, and unwilling to move a muscle,

now surprisingly became full of vigor.

The monkeys in Group A braced their hands on the ground, trying to stand up. Because their bodies were already old and their movements inconvenient, their actions looked a bit awkward.

But at least the monkeys had energy.

They were willing to move.

This was progress.

"Melon."

"Do you see the difference between Group A and Group B?"

"This is the efficacy of our Longevity Drug. If you take the Longevity Drug, you can also achieve this effect."

Jarvis smiled faintly at Melon XII.

His smile was exactly like Lu Xingye's, revealing the look of a shrewd businessman.

"I... I... I'll buy it."

"I am willing to join the Longevity Foundation."

Melon XII hesitated for a long time, then his eyes suddenly became firm.

What if he had vast wealth?

You can't bring it with you when you're born, and you can't take it with you when you die.

Instead of leaving this wealth to his descendants, it would be better to use it to exchange for a chance at rebirth.

Even if he lost all his family's wealth,

as long as he could obtain a chance at rebirth, it would be worth it.

"Hehe."

Jarvis smiled faintly upon hearing this. The fish had finally taken the bait.

"Alright."

"Melon."

"You are very welcome to join."

"After our comprehensive assessment, your membership fee to join our Foundation is ten billion."

"Only after you join our Foundation can you enjoy technological achievements like head transplant surgery and the Longevity Drug."

Here, Jarvis said that after joining the Foundation, one could enjoy these technological achievements.

However, he did not say they would be free.

After Mellon joined the Foundation, if he wanted to enjoy these technological achievements, he would still have to pay.

And... what he would need to pay would be far more than just money.

Of course... Jarvis would not say these words to Mellon.

As a qualified businessman, one cannot scare away customers all at once; one must use business tactics to tie customers down step by step.

Ultimately, he would tie the Melon Family to his war chariot.

"Give me three days."

"I need to go raise money," Melon XII said calmly.

Three days?

Lu Xingye suddenly thought of a problem: although Melon XII was the current head of the Melon Family, he had been ill for a long time, and the extent of his power was unknown.

If he wanted to withdraw 10 billion all at once, would his family agree?

Damn it!

It's possible... Melon XII might not live for three days.

Lu Xingye sent this thought to Jarvis's main brain.

Jarvis paused slightly, immediately understanding Lu Xingye's meaning.

"Mr. Mellon."

"Because you already have the intention to join the Foundation, the Foundation has an obligation to protect you."

"Within these three days,"

"we will send you a small bottle of the Longevity Drug, so that you can live... *cough*."

The rest of the sentence was a bit sarcastic, so Jarvis didn't continue.

But everyone understood the meaning.

Seeing Mellon nod, Jarvis's voice then came through again.

"Within these three days,"

"if you encounter any trouble, you can call this number."

"Our Foundation will provide you with some assistance."

Mellon: "Our family is mainly in the United States of America. Can you help me in the United States of America?"

"Of course, you can. The power of our Foundation is beyond your imagination," Jarvis replied confidently.

Not to mention anything else,

the robot companion product alone was ubiquitous.

Jarvis only needed to modify a piece of code, and these lovable robot companions would pick up weapons and turn into ruthless killing machines.
