Chapter 101, Fourth Purpose
"Charles is right, I'm the one who stretches my hand the longest in the game of Law of Predation. www.biquge.infoFacing his daughter's shocked gaze, Henry took out the aluminum flask he was carrying and poured two sips into his mouth, "I am also a well-known competitor with Corid in the Ministry of Medicine, from the time he joined Black Sheep at Frank's invitation to do his best to promote the development of 'Psychk', I have never expected to destroy the board's trust in him and his team in one fell swoop...... This time I was so angry that I even used Carolina to stop the Black Tower, in fact, because I couldn't stand him and dared to push his experiment into my internal test territory! Before level 40, it was my bottom line to ensure that the internal beta of "The Law of Predation" was orderly! And if he dares to challenge this with the support of the Board of Directors, then don't blame me for using all available resources to waste his efforts! β
"But you haven't been able to touch his true lifeblood, and your actions are likely to be a surprise." Although she can understand her father's obsession with the game, Elise still does not support her father's ruthless style of thunder methods, "He will definitely be wary of us in the next development process, and if they can develop a more mature product after level 40, we can't refuse their experimental request!" β
"But do you think he won't be wary of me if I don't fight back against him?" Henry raised his eyebrows and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Boy, I know him better than you doβCorid is a haughty academic, and he disdains all arguments except his profession...... And I'm the kind of person he hates the most. Even without this operation, he would have seen us as the number one threat, and once his product line matured, it would have further denied and eroded our voice in all aspects...... So I had to set the trap before he was fledgling, and in fact the purpose of Operation Blacktower was not just to warn Corid to take his hands off my closed beta territory, but there were at least three more goals I wanted to achieve. β
"Three purposes?" Elise couldn't keep up with her father's train of thought, "What else?" β
"The first is to plant a distrust in the hearts of the board of directors, reminding them that even a miracle new drug that can bring huge profits can have fatal side effects, a double-edged sword that can bring negative reputation and huge losses to the company, which is the main purpose of making Carolina make crazy receptors." Henry took another sip of wine to moisten his throat before continuing, "Besides, it's to determine Charles's position and his support for me through that 'Summer Twilight Fireworks' - although he took the initiative to show me favor for the restart of the 'Feed Farm' last time, I have never minded being cautious about the cooperative aspect of the game mode. This time his 'cat' poked out such a big basket, and I did my best to defend his position, and he had to return the favor to me in the future closed beta: although it is not clear how 'Lapis Lazuli' has transformed in his hands, as the best agent for the identity of 'Sapphire', I need to have such a role to complete my fatal blow to Corid and his team. β
ββ¦β¦ And what about the third point? In the process of listening to her father's account of the situation, Elise had already involuntarily taken several breaths of cold air, although it was her father, but at this moment she still felt the terrible desire for control and cold chill from the bone marrow of the man in front of her.
"The third point is to get this." Henry finally opened the box that he had been holding tightly for a long time, and showed his daughter the pink liquid in the three small test tubes that had been refrigerated, "This is the experimental model of 'Psych', the sample that Carolina brought back from the 'Black Tower'. β
"It's ......" Elise couldn't find the right words to express her shock at the moment, she took several deep breaths before she cleared her mind a little, and opened her mouth to stammer, "That's not right...... Father, you knew the pharmacodynamic characteristics of 'Psychic well' before, and I thought you had already obtained a sample...... But it wasn't until Carolina returned from the Black Tower that you actually got the medicines...... So how did the previous plan to change the efficacy of 'Psychic to make people crazy)? β
"Hehe, where is Corid so wasteful, if I can steal a sample from his lab, I won't have to spend so much time on him." Henry pulled the folder back from his daughter's hand, took out a lighter from his arms, lit the paper in the folder, and threw the entire folder into the metal trash can at his feet, "Although I couldn't steal the sample and the drug formula list, from the analysis data of the experiment, my professional helper and I speculated that this is a hormone-like drug - 'Psyx' will bring people strong pleasure while stimulating and improving the recipient's nerve sensitivity, although it is not addictive, but the effect is very similar to dopamine...... Therefore, I made a bold attempt to let Carolina inject acetylcholine into the body of the 'Psych' recipient at the same time, so that the absorption of dopamine-like substances in the recipient's body was unbalanced, which led to the later uncontrolled 'madness' phenomenon of the receptor, and further catalyzed the adverse reactions after the efficacy of 'Psych' decreased...... Acetylcholine is one of the neurotransmitters secreted by humans, and it is impossible to detect abnormal secretions without specialized microdialysis testing...... And Corid is supposed to be the first time he has conducted human experiments outside of the laboratory, and his lack of exemplary case comparisons to refute my accusations is my confidence that he will never find proof that I am playing tricks. β
At this time, Elise has completely fallen into a state of stunned, even if she is a top student who has won a full scholarship, but she still feels that she is unattainable for her father's comprehensive knowledge and impeccable way of thinking. Looking at his daughter, who was already looking at the green smoke rising from the trash can, old Henry put the wine bottle back into his pocket, and with the light in his eyes, he returned to the state of a loving father: "Okay, that's all there is to explain to you." Go back early and rest, it's not a place to stay for long...... You keep these samples for me, and two of them can be used for substance analysis, and one for me before our team can decipher the formula, and I may have some other use at that time. β
ββ¦β¦ Our team? Hearing this, Elise came back to her senses and exclaimed, "Father, are you going to ......?"
"For the merchants who sell horses, all they want is a good horse with good blood, which can run and carry, and they don't care which mare the horse comes from." Henry took one last look at the ashes in the trash can, looked up and smiled, "And what could be more exciting for a predator than tearing open a rival's chest and snatching his heart alive?" β
Elise left the chamber with the box in her arms. Henry leaned behind the secret door and listened to his daughter's walk, took another bottle from his pocket, and took a sip - he was in such a good mood today that he was not going to rush to apologize for deliberately hiding a fourth purpose from his daughter.
And Lu Pingchuan, who was wandering a few blocks away from the town, suddenly remembered something for no reason at this moment - the nameplate outside the boss door of the Black Tower, which made him instantly distracted and was almost struck by Zod's axe, that plaque, like the other rooms, has brass carvings and engraved Chinese and English bilingual fonts, which read:
"Konstantin's room."
