Chapter 18 The Horror of Beauty
The announcement of this official news of the creation enterprise is a bombshell for the entire world, and the problem of mutants has always been an unsolvable problem in the whole world or in the Western countries. For half a century, there have been endless incidents of various suppressions of mutants and various terrorist attacks on mutants, such as the Cuban Missile Crisis in the 60s, which had the shadow of mutants, and the assassination of Kennedy, which was once suspected to be done by Magneto, the number one terrorist of mutants.
Although it is more because of the persecution of mutants by some lawbreakers and government departments that some terrorist incidents have occurred, it is not too serious in the last century, the Internet has not been popularized, and many mutants are also living in peace and stability, and there are at least many sensible people among ordinary people who can distinguish between good and bad. In the 21st century, when the information explosion occurs, this situation has become more and more serious, because of the popularity of the Internet and the overwhelming explosion of fake news, the current news media is not as truth-seeking and pragmatic as before, and things without shadows can be said by them clearly.
In such an era of information explosion and fluctuating people's hearts, many inexplicable and even non-existent terrorist attacks have been dumped on mutants, and the public who don't know the situation has begun to look at every awakened mutant around them with colored glasses. Out of jealousy, out of panic, they do a lot of irrational behavior, and many persecuted mutants also start to rebel in the midst of these violence. It's not that they don't have a defense, but unfortunately no one believes them, and in this case, they break the jar to make these so-called violent attacks real.
The mutant fraternity led by Magneto began to be recognized by the mutant public, and a series of mutant terrorist attacks intensified the international conflict. Many people feel that in the end there will be a war between ordinary humans and mutants, and that the outcome of the war must end in a genocide. At this time, the gene repair agent launched by Genesis Corporation, which claims to be able to rebuild the bridge between mutants and ordinary humans, has become the focus of everyone.
All parties and the news media want to know what the effect of this potion is, but this potion itself was developed by Lie himself, without anyone's hands, and all the functions are known only to Lie alone. Moreover, Lie did a very good job of securing the gene repair agent, and no one could steal it at all, so they had to wait quietly for the press conference on the 28th of the month.
The day of the 28th soon came, and the location of the press conference on this day was in Times Square, because there were too many political factors involved in this drug, which also became the focus of various media, and the large number of personnel made it impossible for the original corporate reception to accommodate so many people, so it could only be arranged to be held in Times Square. Not only that, but there are many representatives of forces watching this press conference, as well as unknown mutants. For this reason, Lie also made a lot of preparations and called Iron Man Tony. Stark, the X-Men hidden in the shadows, and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents interspersed in the crowd.
Lie sat backstage, waiting for the press conference to begin, but the hands that had been clasped all the time also expressed the nervousness in his heart, no matter how talented he was, he was only a 23-year-old young man now. He had been planning for a full 7 years, starting when he took over Wayne Enterprises at the age of 16, and originally planned to take a little longer to start a full launch, but the current situation did not allow him to proceed step by step. So this press conference is very important, and many people are staring at him.
"Nervous?" Barbara asked, handing Lie a cup of hot tea.
"Well, it's a lie to say that you're not nervous, after all, it's been preparing for so long." Lie took the teacup and replied.
"Actually, you don't have to come here in person this time, I can solve it." Barbara said.
"Your boss isn't weak enough to let his assistant help him solve the problem," Lie said to Barbara, looking at the host's gesture to Lie outside, and then got up, "Let's go, the press conference is about to start." Then he took himself in stride and began the first step of his own plan.
Seeing Lie come out, countless media flashes shot at Lie, and countless questions came out of their mouths, which was bound for Lie to give an accurate answer. Lie waited there for the group of media to ask about it, then waved his hand to silence them, and then slowly explained the function of this gene repair agent there.
As we all know, for mutants, in fact, the most feared thing is the uncontrollable ability explosion when mutants awaken, because this can easily cause harm to the people around them, and some mutant abilities will make mutants change their own appearance, which is an irreversible evolutionary process. This makes the mutant very dangerous, because his abilities and panic about himself, as well as the influence of the outside world, will distort him psychologically, causing immeasurable damage.
But this genetic potion makes this irreversible evolutionary process actionable, allowing uncontrolled abilities to become controllable, allowing both unawakened and awakened mutants to regain control of their abilities. In addition, the change of form caused by the ability to mutate can also be restored to its original form, and it is possible to switch between the two forms, but it requires your own practice.
Lie's explanation of the function of the gene repair agent caused an uproar in the audience, and if this function is indeed as Lie said, then it is a blessing for mutants. In order to show the correctness of this function, Lie uses Hank's video as evidence, and has a deep desire for the mutants hidden in the field and the people watching them in front of the TV to watch the genetic repair potion. However, it is very uncomfortable for the leaders of the mutant research institute, the reason why mutants are so rejected is because most mutants' mutant abilities are uncontrollable and special, and if this potion is released, it will be too difficult for them to capture them.
If this alone is not enough to make those capitalists open the way for Lie, the second function is the most important. Gene repair agents are not only suitable for mutants, but also have incomparable efficacy for ordinary people. After ordinary people are injected with genetic repair agents, it will automatically repair the stasis damage in ordinary people's bodies, as well as scars on the body surface and even some of their own body odor, the most obvious is for some acne scars and scars on the face, but this is not achieved overnight, because this medicine itself is developed for mutants, and it is only an incidental function for ordinary people, but it also has a validity period of half a year.
This has made many women's hearts moved, and for these beauty-loving girls, this is simply an incomprehensible skin care product. Even for those friends who have fox odor and Hong Kong foot smell, it's a blessing, what to save mutants, I don't know people, and people didn't come to bully me, what am I doing in charge of others! And this time, Lie also learned well, and directly asked a woman on the scene to come up to do the experiment, and a lucky audience was selected, watching her be inoculated with genetic repair drugs, the dark circles on her eyes were visibly dissipating with the naked eye, and some acne marks were fading away, and the atmosphere of the audience was once again set off a new climax.
"Now, I announce that the gene repair agent will be officially released on May 1st, so please stay tuned." One sentence announced the end of this press conference, as for the pre-sale price, Lie did not announce it, this is better to leave it to Barbara, as a woman, she is better at this than Lie. But it's enough to make a lot of people flock to it. Think about it, as long as you have a tube of gene repair medicine, you can remove scars, lighten dark circles, skin quality better, acne scars or something disappear for half a year, during which you can also stay up all night at will, overeat, except for worrying about your weight, there is nothing to be afraid of, this is the artifact that many foodies and beauty lovers dream of.
After dealing with these media, Lie thanked Tony next to him, and also thanked the X-Men and S.H.I.E.L.D. in the shadows. He was originally worried that there would be good people coming out to stir up the situation, and these backhands that he had arranged could come in handy, so it was best to capture a few live mouths and confess to the mastermind behind the scenes, so that he could use them. It seems that these guys are not stupid and know that they can't make things happen in public.
On the other hand, Barbara is about to be driven crazy by phone calls. God knows how many potential customers this conference attracted, in addition to those capitalists in the cosmeceutical industry and the medical industry, the rest of the world's leading cosmetics bigwigs like L'Oreal and Estee Lauder are all striving for cooperation with the creation of the company, and strive to get the first batch of sales rights.
I have to say that the capital is really profitable, and Lie used the blood and hematopoietic stem cells of the demon girl to clone a large number of samples during his research, and on this basis, he used the knowledge he obtained to modify and improve. The cost of the entire genetic repair agent was only thirty dollars, a price that shocked Barbara when she heard it, and now she realized that the huge profits of the pharmaceutical industry were even more terrible than the arms deal.
As for the unpreventable telephone harassment, Barbara directly threw it out, and the unified supply price was 210 US dollars. I thought that such a price would be enough to dissuade some visitors, but what Barbara didn't expect was that the group of guys directly agreed, and even planned to post another hundred dollars, as long as they could supply them as soon as possible. For the first time, Barbara wondered if she was a girl, and she didn't hesitate to take a bite for such a price? Or was she too young, Barbara thought.
However, none of this had anything to do with Lie, and he was now looking through Gaia's stats on his improved body after fighting Phoenix. That battle with the phoenix directly brought his Ultraman form to the limit, and he was supposed to be unable to continue to maintain his Ultraman form, so he held on to the end, and only fell on Bruce's bat fighter. Luckily, however, when I woke up, I found that my body seemed to have improved a lot, and I had developed new abilities, such as the transformation of light particles in front of me.
Physical fitness, has reached two hundred times the human body, and the elemental manipulation is still at the level of urban disasters, as if in addition to the strengthening of the body, it is the development of a light particle transformation, and Lie always feels that he is missing something. It wasn't until he was contemplating in mid-air that he knew that he could fly in a human state.
Looking at himself floating in mid-air, Lie felt super cool, after all, he didn't dare to let people know about his transformation into Ultraman form, and he had to act secretly every time. Even the flight in front of me is the reason for controlling the wind, but now it is like flying like instinct, not to mention how enjoyable this feeling is, coupled with my current physical fitness and elemental ability, well, there is always an urge to go out and do chivalrous righteousness.
