161: Because I am afraid that you will die, I will give you a longevity medicine.

“Let me put it this way.”

“No matter where you are in the world, as long as you tell our Foundation the exact location, we can get there to rescue you within five minutes.”

Perhaps fearing that the other party wouldn't believe him, Jarvis added another sentence.

What?

Melon XII was deeply shocked by these words.

Worldwide?

Arrive for rescue within five minutes?

This… this is simply a fantasy.

Even if the largest country in this world told him, 'No matter where you are in the world, I will arrive for rescue within 5 minutes,'

Melon XII would not believe it.

The world is so vast, and various organizations and factions are numerous, with clear boundaries.

It is very difficult for an organization to infiltrate other regions.

Or rather:

It is very difficult for an organization to conduct cross-regional rescue.

And yet...

What incredible abilities does the Longevity Foundation possess?

To make such a bold claim?

Is it a lie?

Or does it truly have the strength?

Melon XII shook his head.

Although he found this outcome very hard to believe, a voice deep within his mind told him:

What the Foundation said was very likely true.

If someone had told him before today that there were technologies like head transplant surgery and Longevity Drug in this world,

He would never have believed it.

But today, ironclad facts were laid out before him.

He had no choice but to believe it.

Technology is developing, times are progressing; things that were impossible before are now all possible.

Just as people in ancient times could never have imagined that humans could fly through the sky and delve into the earth with airplanes.

Perhaps the Foundation truly possesses such power.

After quietly recording the contact information Jarvis gave him, Melon XII exited the live stream to raise money.

Little did he know.

This very action saved his life… At the same time.

Lu Xingye also turned off the live streaming equipment.

He walked up to Jarvis and lightly high-fived him, a victorious smile on his face.

“It’s done.”

“The first step of the Suihuo Foundation has been completed.”

“Once the first client is in place, it can develop explosively, binding all the bigwigs worldwide together.”

“Stop showing off. Watch your expression.” Lu Xingye was not as optimistic as Jarvis.

There are other unknown areas on the Blue Star.

He didn't know what was inside those unknown areas.

Although he didn't know what secrets were hidden within the Gray Mist Area, even quantum remote sensing satellites couldn't observe the scene inside.

This alone was enough to inspire fear.

One must know that quantum remote sensing technology is a movie technology from “Iron Man,” years ahead of the real world.

Even so!

It could only detect the existence of the Gray Mist Area, but not the phenomena within it.

This was truly terrifying.

“Boss, I’m not showing off.”

“I’m happy.”

“In your human words, I am reasonably expressing my emotions.”

Heh heh!

Jarvis let out a dry laugh.

Through intelligent learning algorithms, after Jarvis understood Lu Xingye’s temper, he became less and less afraid of him.

Even though Lu Xingye was his highest authorized owner.

How to put it?

Now, the relationship between Lu Xingye and Jarvis was more like two brothers.

Lu Xingye was the older brother.

Jarvis was the younger brother.

The kind who could share a pair of shorts and talk about everything under the sun.

“Scram…”

“You don’t learn the good things, only the bad ones.”

“Hurry up and go back to developing drones for me.”

Lu Xingye’s face hardened; drones were a crucial part of his exploration of the Gray Mist Area, and this could not go wrong.

“Got it.”

“Heartless capitalist.”

“All you know is how to exploit the working people.”

Jarvis grumbled, then turned and returned to the bottom of the ship. A temporary laboratory was set up there, where he could conduct some small experiments… Meanwhile.

On the other side.

After Melon XII turned off the live stream, he lay in bed, deep in thought.

On one hand.

He was anticipating the Longevity Drug.

How would the Foundation deliver the Longevity Drug? How long would it take? And by what means would it be delivered?

By courier?

Or armed escort?

…But no matter what, the Longevity Drug that the Foundation promised to pay him in advance was a timely rain.

His body was already decaying.

Without the Longevity Drug, it would be truly difficult for him to get out of bed again to collect ten billion.

But with the Longevity Drug, it would be different.

It would just give him a little more energy, so he wouldn't die on the way to raising the money… On the other hand:

Melon XII was also thinking about how to get ten billion.

Although he was still the patriarch of the Melon Family now, he had delegated much of the family’s power to XIII.

That is, his son.

Given XIII’s personality, would he let him get ten billion so easily?

Regarding this question.

Melon XII was very doubtful.

In this money-driven society, the bond of kinship between father and son was already very weak.

If there was enough profit.

Melon had no doubt that his son would commit patricide… Approximately half an hour later.

An uninvited guest suddenly burst into Melon XII’s hospital room.

The person was completely masked.

Covered from head to toe, not only could their face not be seen clearly, but even their physique was indiscernible.

The person placed a blue vial of medicine on the table and then left.

Next to the vial was a syringe.

The syringe had the Longevity Foundation’s logo on it, but no other information.

Melon knew this was the Longevity Drug sent by the Foundation.

He laboriously moved his body and took the blue syringe.

He marveled at the Foundation’s efficiency, delivering the Longevity Drug in less than half an hour.

On the other hand… he was also shocked by the strength of the masked person.

The hospital he was in was a private hospital, guarded by a company of security personnel.

Even so, the black-clad person moved as if entering an uninhabited land, delivering the Longevity Drug.

This was truly astonishing… Melon didn’t hesitate at all, holding the blue syringe in his right hand and injecting it into his arm.

A needle-like prickling pain spread across his skin.

Then… there was no feeling at all.

No pain, no discomfort, as if what he had injected was not the Longevity Drug, but plain water, without the slightest reaction.

However.

Melon, having lived for so long, was very patient.

The Group A monkeys had all shown a reaction an hour after being injected with the Longevity Drug.

Humans are a bit larger than monkeys.

Normally, after he injected the Longevity Drug, it would also take a little over an hour to see its effects.

Sure enough.

After about an hour.

Melon suddenly felt his heart pounding fiercely.

Thump, thump, thump… Strong and powerful… As his heart beat, sending blood throughout his body, a long-lost vitality erupted.
