"Xiao Lei has been staying in his room for several days now, and he still won't come out?" Ever since Lei Siming's worldview collapsed last time, he has been staying in his room for several days.
"I knocked on the door today, but he still won't come out!" Brother Longfei said with some concern.
"It's alright, he needs some time to adjust! I've already had Erhuang look inside through the window, he's fine, he's just having trouble accepting reality right now," Ye Ning comforted him.
On the afternoon of the fourth day, Lei Siming finally emerged from his room, looking disheveled and unkempt.
"Xiao Lei, you're finally out! Come and eat!" Brother Long Fei waved enthusiastically.
“I’ve figured it out. Since the world has changed, I should study the rules of the new world,” Lei Siming said to himself.
"Lei Siming, it's great that you've figured it out! Okay, let's eat first," Xiao Jingchen patted Lei Siming on the shoulder.
After finishing their meal, Ye Ning called Lei Siming aside.
Lei Siming sat somewhat awkwardly opposite Ye Ning. Although he was an academic genius, he had never been good at socializing.
"Xiao Lei, I have a task for you!" Ye Ning poured Lei Siming a cup of tea.
"Mission? What mission?"
Ye Ning took out a cabinet full of seeds from her spatial storage. "I'll leave the cultivation of these seeds entirely to you. I believe you can do a good job, right?"
"Are you really giving all of these to me?" Lei Siming looked at Ye Ning with sparkling eyes.
"Of course! I plan to build a production base here, and I need you to help us select some suitable seeds first!"
“No problem, leave it all to me!” Mentioning his old profession, Lei Siming’s fighting spirit was instantly ignited.
He picked up the cabinet and immediately immersed himself in his new research.
These past few days, everyone, including Lei Siming, has been adapting to and studying their own superpowers.
Meanwhile, Xinyuan Group has developed a machine that could shake up the entire city of A in the future: the energy extractor.
This machine can extract small amounts of energy from the air and condense it into a shape. This substance, which will be called an energy pill in the future, can slightly enhance superpowers and can also be made into medicines and weapons, as well as replace gasoline as an energy source.
In short, this energy pill is a cure-all.
Of course, the extraction process was quite difficult, and it could be said that it was an extremely precious existence in the previous life.
City A, Xinyuan Group Headquarters, Research and Development Headquarters No. A.
In an extremely rigorous research center, professors wearing white coats sat together.
They stared intently at a complex and sophisticated machine.
The machine is shaped like a giant hourglass, and its body is made of a strange, dark blue metal.
This metal is said to not belong to Earth, but was transported from another planet by Xinyuan Group with great effort.
Meanwhile, in the center of the hourglass, a drop of blue liquid is slowly forming.
"It's done! It's almost done! It's been a year, and we're finally going to succeed."
The head of this research center is Professor Lan, whose hair is completely white. He is staring motionless at the water droplet and muttering to himself.
"This time, it shouldn't just evaporate as soon as it drips like last time!" a professor with a middle parting said worriedly.
"Pah! Li Xinjun, what nonsense are you spouting? Pah, pah, pah, you jinx!"
"Pah, pah, pah, I misspoke!" Professor Li Xinjun quickly corrected himself.
"Alright! Shut up! It's almost done!" Professor Lan snapped.
Amidst everyone's anticipation, the blue water droplet finally took shape completely. It detached from the extractor's pointer, transformed into a perfectly round droplet, and then quickly fell into the condenser below.
It floated suspended in the condenser, rotating continuously under the pressure of the machine, until a crisp "ding" was heard, and the energy pellet finally took shape.
Professor Lan, his hands trembling, took the energy pill out of the machine. "It's done! It's finally done! Quickly report this news to the chairman! Hurry!" he shouted to his assistant behind him.
"Yes! Professor Lan, I'll go right away!" Professor Lan's assistant, who was also his student, replied quickly.
"Quickly measure the data!" Professor Lan instructed.
"You two, hurry up and try again to see if you can make another one?"
“Your data calculation is incorrect! You should…” Professor Lan instructed from the side.
Just as everyone in the research lab was busy, Professor Lan's assistant dialed the phone number of the chairman of Xinyuan Group.
"Beep beep beep!"
"Hello!" an old voice answered the phone.
"Chairman, our research has finally succeeded! Just now, the pill was successfully formed."
"Really? That's wonderful! By the way, where's your advisor, Professor Lan?... "
"Professor Lan is busy calculating data!" the assistant quickly replied.
"Okay! I understand. Don't bother him yet. Tell him when he's done. I'll prepare a celebration banquet for him tomorrow! You've worked hard doing experiments with your teacher, so come along tomorrow too!" The voice on the other end was clearly joyful.
"Yes! Thank you, Chairman!" the assistant said, flattered.
Zhou Chuangui, the person in charge of Xinyuan Group, hung up the phone, then his smile disappeared, and he looked coldly at Zhou Haiyuan, who was standing respectfully in front of his desk.
"Over at Warehouse No. 3, after all this time, haven't they found out who did it?" Zhou Chuangui looked at Zhou Haiyuan with disgust.
Although Zhou Haiyuan is the second son of Xinyuan Group, his biological mother was actually just an unknown model. She had a one-night stand with the young and charming Zhou Chuangui, which led to the birth of Zhou Haiyuan.
