Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 142 Moon Queen? Aren't you inside?!
“Opportunity?” Bai Jingyu glanced at Jones.

He bent down and patted Jones on the shoulder: "I've given you plenty of chances."

Jones trembled like a leaf.

He said tremblingly, "Mayor Bai, although there were some mistakes in this experiment, it was still good overall. The experimenter survived, and all cells except nerve cells achieved the expected results."

His voice trembled, and beads of sweat fell to the ground with a thud, like a string of beads falling to the ground.

"Although it can only restore youth to the body, once it's on the market, there will definitely be many wealthy people willing to pay for it," Jones tried to defend himself.

Years ago, he was kicked out of the school by his mentor for his bad behavior. It was Bai Jingyu who took him in, let him join the Nirvana Research Institute, and lead the important project Miracle K.

Everything he has was given to him by Bai Jingyu.

With just one word from Bai Jingyu, everything he has now will shatter like a mirage.

He will lose everything again.

Moreover, Bai Jingyu might even kill him to prevent the news that Mayor Jiuchuan was secretly supporting human experiments from leaking out.

Thinking of this, Jones completely lost control of his body, trembling as if having an epileptic seizure.

Bai Jingyu applied force with his palm, firmly pressing Jones down.

He said calmly, "Dr. Jones, don't be so nervous. I'm very satisfied with your research. The Miracle K project has been a complete success."

What? Jones was stunned.

Complete success?

He couldn't believe his ears.

Because he clearly failed.

"Miracle K can alter the life processes of cells other than nerve cells, which is the greatest medical achievement in human history."

"Dr. Jones."

"You can start preparing for the press conference now."

Bai Jingyu grabbed Jones's arm and pulled him up from the ground: "Seven days from now, I'll make your name resound throughout the Coast Alliance!"

Jones was stunned.

Mayor Bai not only didn't punish me, but also held a press conference for me to help me become famous?
real or fake?

"The greatest medical achievement?"

"I?"

"Press conference?"

He was overjoyed and his words became incoherent.

"Don't get so excited, you'll soon be the focus of the whole world," Bai Jingyu said with a smile.

He never hesitated to reward capable people.

Miracle K's development has reached a sufficient stage. The next step is to combine it with Professor Horn's Angel Potion, and the path to carbon-based immortality will be clear.

As for how to obtain the technology for the Angel Potion from Professor Horn, that was no problem for him.

He had a very close personal relationship with Professor Horn.

If all else fails, we can have the Moon Goddess from another timeline step in.

The era of immortality is about to arrive!

Even if human civilization fails for a time, as long as one immortal being survives, one day we will be able to destroy the Mana ecosystem and rebuild human civilization!

At that moment, Bai Jingyu felt a sudden sense of clarity.

"Mayor Bai!"

Jones, with tears streaming down her face, said, "Thank you!"

Many years ago, he was burdened with the infamy of being expelled from his sect and had nowhere to go, but Bai Jingyu took him in.

Now that his pledge has failed and Miracle K has not achieved the expected results, Bai Jingyu has relaxed his requirements, not only refraining from punishing him but also holding a press conference for him, allowing him to step into the sunlight and receive applause and cheers from all over the world.

Bai Jingyu's kindness to him was not just as heavy as a mountain, it was as heavy as a mountain!
"I am not qualified to hold a press conference."

Jones wiped away his tears and gritted his teeth, saying, "Failure is failure. Miracle K's goal is to grant humanity immortality, but right now it can only grant immortality to cells other than nerve cells, which is far from enough."

Immortality is immortality; without it, even the slightest difference is worlds apart!
"Please give me a little more time."

"I will definitely bring you the complete version of Miracle K!" Jones wiped away his tears, his expression extremely solemn.

Bai Jingyu looked at Jones's face and couldn't help but feel surprised.

Is it acting?
Or is it a true expression of feelings?

Bai Jingyu scrutinized Jones's solemn expression, finding it difficult to discern anything for a moment.

Jones is so enlightened that he actively refused a press conference to vindicate himself. Isn't this what he wants most?
Jones and Bai Jingyu looked at each other.

Looking at Bai Jingyu's calm expression, he secretly began to have second thoughts.

Dead mouth!

Is this what you should say?

Jones regretted it.

He was first overwhelmed by fear, then overwhelmed by joy. These two completely opposite emotions intertwined, and surprisingly, they aroused a generosity that did not belong to him!
Jones's face remained tense, but he was seething with regret.

I want a press conference!

After the press conference, when the whole world knows how amazing my technology is, it's not too late to continue researching Miracle K!

If he had said those words using a chat application, he would have retracted them no matter what, even if it meant taking a gamble that Bai Jingyu hadn't seen them.

But he said it to Bai Jingyu face to face.

Now he could only grit his teeth and pray that Bai Jingyu wouldn't take his empty words to heart.

Bai Jingyu stared at Jones for two seconds.

Finally, he spoke: "Let's hold a press conference first. The reason I had you keep your name hidden before was because I was worried that outside voices would affect your work. Now that you finally have some impressive results, it's time to prove yourself."

Jones breathed a sigh of relief. "That was terrifying! Thank goodness Mayor Bai didn't take me seriously. I'll never brag again!"

“I will invite Professor Horn to your press conference,” Bai Jingyu continued.

Jones's body jolted.

He hesitated and said, "Teacher, will he agree to come to my press conference? We haven't seen each other for many years."

Jones Muller was Horn's first apprentice.

He was blinded by greed and plagiarized Horn's research results. Horn showed no mercy, exposed him, and expelled him from his school.

He admitted that he had only himself to blame.

But he believes that the hardships he has endured in hiding over the years are enough to offset the mistakes he made back then.

Horn was his mentor on his scientific research journey. If Horn could attend his press conference, he would feel more at ease and better ready to embrace a bright future.

“I will persuade him,” Bai Jingyu promised.

Jones' press conference had to be held.

Seven days later, Professor Horn also held a press conference.

At that time, Hisakawa will present the effects of Miracle K and Angel Potion to the world at the same time. Anyone who isn't a fool will understand what kind of miracle Hisakawa has created!
"Prepare well, and a brand new chapter in your life is about to begin."

In the brutal apocalypse.

Bai Jingyu didn't say the second half of his sentence. He gave Jones a meaningful look, then turned and walked out.

"Let me see you off!" Jones hurriedly followed.

Bai Jingyu waved his hand: "No need. Go pack your things and prepare to say goodbye to this place. I will have ASH buy you a large apartment in the city center as a gift from me in my personal capacity."

"You've been so good to me! I'll do anything for your cause!" Jones exclaimed, overwhelmed with emotion.

What kind of place is Jiuchuan?
The world's only smart city!

The city center is the most prosperous area, and its housing prices are among the highest in the world, comparable to the economic centers of the four major coastal alliance countries, with prices often exceeding one million per square meter.

A large apartment in the city center is worth at least two or three hundred million yuan.

As expected of Mayor Bai!

Working under Mayor Bai means a very promising future!
"Don't be so easily satisfied. Once Miracle K goes on sale, you'll get a share of the profits, and that's where the real money comes in," Bai Jingyu said without turning his head.

Jones froze, his mind filled with disbelief.

Do I still get a share of Miracle K's profits?
By the time he came to his senses, Bai Jingyu had already left the room.

"Dr. Jones, you've finally overcome your hardships." His assistant stepped forward, took out a handkerchief with a pleasant scent, and tenderly wiped away his sweat.

During this short period of time, Jones felt as if he had been on a roller coaster, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.

He grinned and burst into laughter.

Consequently, he also started to find number 20 more agreeable.

"You old codger are lucky. Although Miracle K didn't succeed completely, it only changed your physical age, not your brain age, but at least you got a healthy and young body."

"You can stay in the nursing home for now."

Jones said smugly, "Later I'll find a way to make your brain young too, just like Mayor Bai said, to make you the first immortal person in human history!"

"Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie!"

As evening falls, the workers who have been busy all day finish their shifts and flock to the streets. Some head straight for their cozy homes, while others venture into the small, unassuming restaurants tucked away in the alleys.

Two beautifully designed golden hovercars flew in from the bustling food street.

People looked up in curiosity.

The hovercars are extremely valuable, and only billionaires can afford them; ordinary people can't even afford the daily maintenance costs.

The hovercar landed in the parking space, and the Awakened Ones stepped out.

"Wow, even the air smells wonderful!"

Xia Dou stretched her neck and kept twitching her nostrils, like a cute little dog that had smelled something delicious.

Bai Yuekui curled the corners of his lips: "Come with me."

She led the Awakened Ones to a restaurant.

Under the night sky, the signs adorned with neon lights gleamed brightly.

【Heluo Stir-fry】

The Awakened Ones escorted Bai Yuekui inside.

"Oh my, it's Yue Tian and Yue Kui!"

The proprietress spotted Bai Yuekui among the group and said enthusiastically, "You've dyed your hair white! It looks quite nice!"

"Aunt Liu, it's been a long time!" Bai Yuetian came closer.

The proprietress said with a smile, "It's been a while since you've eaten here. I've been missing you!"

Bai Yuekui smiled.

Familiar streets, familiar people, familiar voices
She hadn't felt this relaxed in years.

"Everyone, find a place to sit and eat as much as you like!" Bai Yuekui waved her hand.

The restaurant wasn't big, and there weren't any private rooms that could accommodate more than twenty people, so we just ate in the main hall.

The enlightened practitioners spread out.

The air was filled with the aroma of stir-fried dishes, and one delicious dish after another from the Heluo region was served.

Just then, the landlady's surprised voice came from the doorway.

"Moon Queen?"

"Weren't you inside?"
