Chapter 155:

Li Xu picked up the wine bottle, drank the last sip, turned around and walked into the darkness, and waved back.

"Natasha, think about job hopping."

"As the only witness, be careful not to be silenced."

"..."

Natasha stood there, feeling a little heavy in her heart.

As an old agent who experienced the disintegration of the Soviet Union, she chose to seek refuge with S.H.I.E.L.D. after her old company closed down and was hunted down by multiple forces.

Now, she had a vague premonition of uneasiness. After this incident, S.H.I.E.L.D. might also go bankrupt.



Overnight.

In a villa in the Upper East District, Li Xu glanced at the exhausted Stephanie who was still sleeping soundly, and stood up.

After bidding farewell to Natasha last night, Li Xu was homeless, so after thinking about it, he still came to Stephanie.

This Hydra lady didn't know that her identity was exposed, so she played wildly all night, playing the role of a pure and innocent lady with a bit of literary style.

Li Xu was deeply impressed by this kind of professionalism, so he simply asked her to change into a costume and performed a few more difficult role-plays.

After one night, both parties were very satisfied.

Stephanie felt that she was one step closer to success. As long as she came a few more times, under the imperceptible tenderness offensive, she should be able to slowly affect Li Xu.

Li Xu is also very satisfied. There are not many dedicated actors like Stephanie, but the quality of the costumes is too good to tear up.

After picking up the clothes on the ground and putting them on one by one, Li Xu went to the window and opened the curtains.

The sun is shining brightly, and the warm sunlight shines through the glass windows, illuminating the messy bedroom.

"nice weather."

Li Xu stretched himself.

Speaking of which, he still has a bit of business today.

After a period of preparation, Umbrella's profitable products are officially launched, and a product launch event will be held today.

Profitable products, as mentioned last time, include toy Transformers, panaceas for general diseases, external ointments for wounds, beauty products for skin rejuvenation, and T-virus medicines for prolonging life...

With these products, Umbrella Company will not have to rely on the Stark Group for its future funding problems.

"It's almost on the right track."

Li Xu touched his chin.

Make money, open a base, manufacture clones on a large scale, and develop the perfect version of the t-virus...

As long as these things are completed, the basic framework of the Jedi Knights should be able to be set up. With Iron Man, Hulk, Spiderman and other capable tool people, they will soon be able to collect enough points to promote the [Jedi Knight] to a senior level.

"Among these things, only the perfect version of the t-virus has not yet succeeded."

Li Xu glanced at the sleeping Stephanie, turned and left the room, and came to his car.

While starting the car, he asked, "Red Empress, how is the research progress of the perfect version of the t-virus?"

"Sir, we are still stuck at the bottleneck. The few Ph.Ds in biology recruited last time did not make breakthroughs."

"Then step up efforts to recruit people and use the best treatment."

"Sir, according to information retrieval, Dr. Conners, who works for the Osborne Group, has published many excellent papers in related fields and can be the project leader."

"However, the invitation letter sent last time was rejected by him."

"Kurt Connors?"

Li Xu raised his eyebrows.

According to his memory, this Dr. Conners is the famous villain Dr. Lizard. He has been working on research on limb regeneration technology and successfully developed lizard serum.

It's a pity that this serum has serious side effects. After injection, it will become half-human, half-lizard, and its mind will always be full of bestiality.

Thinking of the last time when he met Norman Osborn in the bar, Tony said that the military would terminate the contract with the Osborne Group, Li Xu rubbed his chin thoughtfully: "The plot of Dr. Lizard should be coming soon. "

"Red Empress, continue to pay attention to the movements of the Osborn Group, when the time comes, I will forcefully poach people directly."



ps: Feilu review is too fascinating, every chapter involving female characters has elements of gambling. Generally speaking, if it shows that the author has been refining for 24 hours, it means that he is locked in a small black room and can only be released after review. If you don't mind the trouble, you can go to the web version to see it. In addition, due to the constant urging at home, I am preparing for the civil service provincial examination recently, and the update is really not good, so I bow to everyone and apologize. Believe me, after the exam at the end of March, you will be very prosperous. .

Chapter 201

At the Umbrella Corporation press conference, the flashes continued to come on.

A large group of reporters crowded together with long guns and short cannons, and asked the host Pepper: "Miss Pepper, why do you come to work in this company? Have you quit your job as the secretary to the president of the Stark Group?"

"Why did you choose to quit your job as a secretary? Is it because Mr. Stark harassed you in the workplace?"

"..."

"Tony, did you sexually harass Pepper in the workplace?"

At the corner of the press conference, Li Xu was wearing a pair of sunglasses, and looked at Tony beside him mockingly.

"Humph!"

Tony rolled his eyes, not wanting to speak.

He was pretty miserable by Li Xu, because Pepper sneered at him for two days in a row because of the bad-mouthing video.

"pitiful!"

Li Xu tutted his head and shook his head, smiling gloatingly.

Tony didn't bother to care about this black-bellied bastard, so he turned his head to the side, but when he heard the reporter's question getting more and more excessive, he couldn't help but turn back: "Head, what about your beautiful 13-year-old secretary, why do you need Pepper to come?" Help you host the press conference?"

"Run away."

Li Xu shrugged.

He has always disliked participating in press conferences. According to the original plan, Natasha should have participated on his behalf.

Unfortunately, after revealing her identity, the woman disappeared, so Li Xu had no choice but to bring in the universal tool man—Pepper.

Speaking of which, Pepper's working ability is really strong.

Tony can be so chic because of Pepper and Jarvis. The work of simple decision-making is handed over to artificial intelligence, and the work of complex decision-making is handed over to the secretary. This guy will lie down and be lazy, enjoying the life of a playboy.

"Ran?"

Tony stroked his chin, and looked at Li Xu suspiciously: "You won't harass him in the workplace, will you?"

"She harassed me more or less."

Li Xu shook his head.

It's not that he's bragging, but at Natasha's level, if he wants, he can let her celebrate Mother's Day next year.

Tony rolled his eyes again, and signaled to the products at the product launch conference: "Speaking of which, the products of Umbrella Company have a disruptive effect on the medical and beauty industries. The big groups in these two fields are unlucky. It’s bound to plummet.”

"It's just bad luck."

Li Xu chuckled: "I remember that the leader in the medical field seems to be the Osborne Group. Are you interested in buying it together?"



"Damn it!"

On the top floor of the Osborne Building, in the office of the chairman of the Osborne Group, Norman Osborn looked at the stocks of the Osborne Group that were soaring all the way, with a gloomy face, and punched the table.

Due to the genetic disease of the Osborne family, each generation will die early.

For the continuation of the family and for his only son Harry, Norman desperately researched the cure and spent a lot of money on research projects on human genes.

Over the years, only two projects have achieved initial success.

One is to cooperate with the military to reverse-engineer the super-soldier serum and develop a human body enhancer from it.

The other is a new project that uses gene editing technology to combine animal genes with human genes.

The person in charge of this project is the extremely talented biological scientist Richard Parker. Under his leadership, the chimera of spider genes and human genes was used. The project was once close to success, and even succeeded.

However, when Norman was ecstatic and thought he had seen the dawn of hope, Richard Parker actually ran away!

Moreover, before running away, all the data was destroyed, and the reputation was that this technology was dangerous and would endanger human beings.

Generally speaking, the little spider is kind, but his father is really incompetent.

Using other people's money to do research, and then destroying the results after they are produced, is simply... the scum of scum.

When this incident happened, Norman was so angry that he went crazy, not to mention that the large investment was in vain, and the family's hope of recovery was also destroyed.

In desperation, Norman can only hope in human body enhancers.

It is a pity that after spending a lot of money in these years, something has been researched, but it has huge side effects, and it cannot be improved, and it has been stuck in this bottleneck.

As a result, the military and others became impatient and demanded to terminate the contract and no longer provide research funds.

For Norman, this was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.

Osborne Group was founded by him alone, but after the group was listed and capitalized, the remaining equity in his hand was no longer enough for absolute control.

The board of directors was already very dissatisfied with his misappropriation of funds for genetic research, and the termination of the contract by the military pushed this dissatisfaction to a peak.

Next, at the board meeting, the two genetic research projects are likely to be withdrawn.

The reason there are two is because in addition to the human body enhancer project, Norman also hired Dr. Connors to continue research on gene editing technology in an attempt to restore the gene technology developed by Richard Parker.

Unfortunately, the results so far are very limited...

"No, I can't wait any longer."

Norman stood up sullenly.

There were only a few days left before the board meeting, and if the experiment still didn't work out, there was no hope for him and the Osborne family.

Walking out of the office, Norman walked quickly to the laboratory, squinting at the mice in the experiment: "Dr. Conners, can the lizard serum be used?"

"Human experiments will be carried out immediately, I need accurate data."

"This......"

Connors hesitated for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's still in the observation stage. I suggest experimenting with mice first."

"I'm running out of time. I can't wait that long."

Norman said with a straight face, expressionless: "I will arrange a group of volunteers to come over and conduct human experiments immediately."

"But..."

"No but, if you can't do it, you can choose to leave the Osborne Group, and I will arrange for others to join!"

Norman snorted coldly, turned and left.

In the laboratory, Connors glanced at the empty cuff of his left hand and clenched his right hand tightly.

Lizard serum is his life's effort, not only to heal himself, but also to heal many disabled people like him, and he must not give up.

"This is my achievement, my honor, and I must not give it up."

After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Connors glanced at the mouse whose forelimbs had regrown after being injected with the lizard serum, gritted his teeth, picked up a lizard serum and stuck it on his arm.

"what!"

Accompanied by a scream and rolling on the ground, Connors got up from the ground and looked at the regrowth left hand in surprise.

"I made it, I made it!"

"Haha, I succeeded!"

Connors raised his head and laughed excitedly, completely oblivious to the fact that in the glass box, the normally normal mouse suddenly fell to the ground and twitched, its body grew fine green scales, and then exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
