Chapter 245 Undercurrents

Chapter 245 Undercurrents
In her top-floor office on Paradise Island, Eva stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, a cup of coffee in her hand, overlooking the bustling city.

The AI assistant suddenly spoke up: "Master, the Institute of Life Sciences has called urgently."

"Oh? Did that little guy cause trouble?" Eva muttered to herself.

She had specifically instructed Alice that she could do nothing at all, but how come she suddenly received an emergency call after only a few hours?
"Put it through."

"Yes, Master."

A holographic projection appeared, and several researchers in white lab coats stood excitedly at the far end.

The leader shouted loudly, "Miss Eva! Good news! Good news!"

The others nodded in agreement.

"We're flying!" "No wonder Miss Eva recommended us." "I feel like I'm dreaming."...

Eva was completely bewildered and asked in confusion, "Oh? You're so excited, did you get the results from the star worm pheromone extraction?"

"All resolved!"

"what?"

"All 41 research projects at the institute, including the 3 currently pending, have been resolved!"

Eva's expression turned cold, and she said sternly, "Do you know what you're saying?"

"Miss Eva, look!"

A whole bunch of research reports were sent over, along with lab monitoring data.

Eva glanced at it, then her coffee slipped from her hand and spilled all over the floor.

All staple crops have been modified to resist ultraviolet radiation and drought, allowing them to be grown directly in desert environments, eliminating the need for greenhouses. They can thrive even with morning mist drifting in from the sea. There are also high-tech plants derived from legumes, called "plant-based meat," which could rapidly popularize meat production.

Breakthroughs have been achieved in star worm research, from dissection and pheromone analysis to synthesis methods and improvements in combat agents...

Eva's hands trembled slightly.

What is this?!

She wondered if she was still half asleep. Had all the problems that had plagued the development of Paradise Island been solved in just a few hours?
Eva pinched her thigh and felt the pain before realizing she wasn't dreaming during her afternoon nap.

I thought I was being sheltered by a little cutie, but it turned out I was clinging to a powerful figure, and this powerful figure is really, really powerful.

If this thing is real, the food problem on Paradise Island will be completely solved, and we can even have protein freedom. This is a high-tech plant that can be grown in any sandy area.

Eva's voice trembled as she asked, "Did she handle all of this by herself?"

There was a cacophony of voices on the other end of the screen.

"Yes! Miss Eva, where did you find such a genius? She seems to be omnipotent in biological research!"

"Her ability is quite unique; she can accelerate the ripening of plants and achieve rapid iteration and upgrading."

"She is now our teacher and is teaching us how to analyze star worm pheromones."

"Miss Eva, we jointly recommend Miss Alice for the position of director! Please approve!"

Eva took a deep breath and nodded, saying, "Approved. Let's get the paperwork done."

In a lounge at the Institute of Life Sciences, the former director jolted awake, climbed out of his single bed, yawned, and looked around in confusion.

"Wasn't I interviewing new people? How did I end up here? Strange, why isn't this my office?"

The former director was puzzled, but he didn't pay much attention to it. What he was thinking about was how to manipulate the new recruit who came today.

What a beautiful girl!

The girl is about to graduate and start working, and she wants to keep the girl as a toy for him. This kind of pretty girl clearly isn't an adult, has little social experience, and is easy to manipulate.

The former director, preoccupied with his own plans, got out of bed and shouted, "Xiao Guizi, Xiao Guizi?! Where is he?"

The henchman who was always at your beck and call was gone. The former director was furious. When he left the room, he found the corridor empty.

After searching for a while, he pushed open the conference room door and found that almost everyone in the research institute was gathered here, sitting neatly in the tiered classroom, holding tablets and pens, looking like they were studying seriously.

On the high platform.

A beautiful silver-haired girl is giving a speech, holding a piece of chalk.

The former director immediately shouted, "What are you doing? Who allowed you all to gather here? Aren't you going to do your job? If you can, do it; if not, get out of the institute! Don't waste the institute's resources! Paradise Island doesn't keep useless people!..."

The former director began his routine sermon, his throat dry from yelling, and the room fell silent; no one dared to utter a word in rebuttal.

He's happy with it.

He coughed, feeling a sore throat. Usually at this time, his loyal henchman would bring him tea to soothe his throat, but not today.

How can these guys be so clueless? We need to get a new lackey. The former director thought to himself.

just.

He suddenly felt something was wrong.

Hundreds of eyes were fixed on him, but these eyes held none of the usual fear and anger, only pity as if looking at a clown.

"Security! Security! Where are the security guards? Throw this intruder out! How can we let someone like this disrupt the class!"

The former director was a little confused. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw his number one lackey, Xiao Guizi, shouting.

Fully armed soldiers rushed in quickly, hesitated, and then walked toward the former director with batons in hand.

The former director then realized that he himself was the idle person.
The former director instantly turned red-faced and burst into a tirade: "Rebellion! Rebellion! Do you know what you're doing?!"

Xiao Guizi said coldly, "You've been fired. The person standing on the podium is our director, in charge of all matters. You've been singled out by her for dismissal."

"Are you rebelling? You..."

The former director wanted to curse, but gradually realized something was wrong. His loyal followers all lowered their heads and remained silent, and most of them looked at him with disdain.

This seems to be true.

Alice coughed lightly and said, "The secret data on your computer has been cracked and uploaded to Miss Eva and the security team. According to Paradise Island's laws, your sentence is 232 years and 10 months. Arrest him and wait for the security team to come and take him away."

The pretty girl pointed her slender finger at Alpha, who was lying on the computer desk.

Alpha was typing away with its tongue lolling out when it heard Alice's words and barked in response.

The former director's face turned deathly pale. He knew perfectly well what was going on, and he began to scream hysterically, "This...this is a conspiracy! This is a frame-up! Who gave you permission to touch my computer? You have no right to, you..."

Security guards swarmed forward, handcuffed the former director, and took him away.

Alice tapped the blackboard and said, "Alright, let's continue the lesson."

The Institute of Life Sciences has undergone a major transformation.

Paradise Island is rife with undercurrents.

Alice didn't care.

She only does what she is supposed to do.

If the people here anger her, she wouldn't mind triggering a biohazard crisis. It would be easy for her; she could even add some star worms to escalate the crisis.

End of a workday.

Alice ran into Eva as soon as she went out.

This Eva is different.

is a living person.

It is the real person.

She leaned against the doorframe, lit a cigarette, and exhaled smoke, saying, "Director Alice, you really gave me a big surprise."

“I’ve already said that I’m very good at biological research,” Alice replied.

When Alpha saw Eva, it immediately stuck out its tongue and went up to her, trying to ingratiate itself in a dog-like manner.

It remembered the stationmaster's orders.

This is the kind of talent the space station urgently needs.

But as soon as it got close to Eva, it instantly retracted its tongue, jumped back, and stared at Eva with wide, sharp eyes.

Eva looked down and met Alpha's gaze.
