America 1869: A Doppelganger Every Day

Chapter 132 Adam: I studied the longevity factor

1873 6 Month 1 Day.

A man named Adam from America became famous.

Initially, the Pinkerton Detective Agency received a commission for 100 highly skilled detectives to protect his laboratory.

After these 100 people arrived, they received another request from the client to arrange for 20 powerful detectives who could provide close personal protection.

Once the 20 people were in place, they escorted a man named Adam to the American New York Drug Quality Inspection Center.

Upon arriving at the quality inspection center, the man named Adam spent over an hour producing a drug report.

The report clearly shows that the liquid called longevity factor brought by this man named Adam can actually slow down human aging and increase human lifespan.

After confirming the report, the man named Adam hired 100 Pinkerton detectives and bought a shop on Wall Street.

Fifty Pinkerton detectives are responsible for maintaining the security of the store and its surroundings, prohibiting anyone from stealing from the store or causing any disturbances.

Another 50 people were responsible for transporting this drug called longevity factor.

His large-scale project had already attracted considerable attention.

In particular, the Pinkerton Detective Agency has a unique feature: it also sells intelligence.

So when someone bought a drug from the Pinkerton Detective Agency that could extend lifespan, the shop called Longevity House came into the sights of many wealthy people.

However, some people still hold a skeptical attitude.

However, a few days later, on Wall Street, everyone with a bit of a reputation received an invitation.

The invitation was simple: to invite them to witness a miracle and enter an era of human longevity together.

Although some people still didn't believe it, they went to this longevity home with a try-it-and-see attitude.

After entering, everyone registered and then proceeded to a large reception room at the back.

Adam sat quietly at the front of the reception room.

The area is under the comprehensive, all-encompassing protection of Pinkerton detectives.

After hundreds of people had arrived, Adam opened his eyes and looked at the Wall Street elites below.

"I know many people will dismiss my invitation."

"I also know that many people may not believe that my longevity factor can make people live longer."

"But the fact is, I really did it."

"Perhaps no one knows me before, so let me briefly introduce myself. My name is Adam."

"I was just an ordinary person, but I was lucky enough to make some money while panning for gold."

"With the money I make from gold mining, I plan to study how to mine gold more effectively."

"As a result, during this process, I unexpectedly extracted a factor that I had never seen before from the ginkgo tree."

"After more than half a year of experimentation with this factor, I finally discovered that after it enters the human body, it nourishes the body's cells."

"As we all know, humans are able to live because their cells are active, and as long as the cell activity is high enough, the human body can maintain its current state. In other words, as long as the cell activity is good, you can stay young forever."

"However, it is clear that my factor cannot maintain the cell's state in the long term, but it can improve the cell's activity."

"Based on my experiments, I can conclude that each bottle of longevity factor can maintain a person's cell activity for about a week."

"Therefore, according to this calculation, one bottle of longevity factor can extend a person's life by seven days."

"However, this is only a theoretical state; I can't be sure of the exact number!"

"The only thing I'm certain of is that longevity factors can indeed increase lifespan, and it's possible that long-term use could allow people to live to be several hundred years old."

"Living to around 100 years old at the latest is definitely not a problem."

"The reason I chose to open a store on Wall Street is because the cost of my longevity factor is too high."

"Although it is extracted from ginkgo leaves, there are too many processes required to successfully extract the longevity factor, and many substances are also needed."

"If I hadn't succeeded in extracting it by accident, I doubt anyone would have thought that I could extract longevity factors using this method."

"I can tell you definitively that extracting just one bottle of longevity factor costs hundreds of dollars."

"I will continue to do research, so my selling price is $200."

"But today is the first day of my store's opening, so I can give you a 20% discount. You can buy a bottle for only $160."

"Those who wish to purchase can register with the staff outside."

"If you don't believe me, that's fine. Wait until the people around you have tried it, then you can ask them about the effects. If it works, then you can buy it. If it doesn't work, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

It must be said that Adam's prior arrangements, coupled with the fact that they overheard the news by chance, made it somewhat convincing.

Moreover, people of this era had never heard of using this method to deceive others, so even some of the elites on Wall Street wanted to give it a try.

Whether the experiment actually led to longer lifespans, they didn't know, but they did know that the stuff was really bitter.

After suffering, they felt as if their bodies were comfortable and their minds were clear.

For this reason, many people believed it and continued to buy.

At the same time, they also told the people around them.

As a result, the Longevity Family became a hit in a short period of time.

The elites of Wall Street began to spread to factory owners, capitalists, and financiers in the surrounding areas.

Then, people in other cities across America also heard about this longevity factor.

Even though the price is high, due to the uneven distribution of wealth in the United States, the rich are truly rich, and the poor are truly poor.

People without money, even if they could afford it, wouldn't be willing to buy it.

After all, a drug costing over $100 or $200 would only extend their lives by seven days, and they were unwilling to buy it.

But for the wealthy, $200 can buy them seven more days of life, which means they only need $800 to live an extra month.

$1 can extend your life by one year.

This is such a great deal!

Because of this situation, Adam directly hired 800 Pinkerton detectives again.

"You will be divided into groups of 50, and each group will escort 1000 square meters of longevity factors to other cities for sale. You will receive a commission of $10 for every bottle of longevity factors sold."

With Adam's words, 800 Pinkerton detectives became his salesmen.

Pinkerton detectives can be seen selling longevity factors in major cities across the United States.
