He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 54 Welcome to the Group

"Mr. Li, thank you for your appreciation. I've gotten used to being here and don't plan to resign for the time being."

In the end, Stern declined Li Chuan's invitation.

Because he is currently in a critical phase of an experiment, and if he can achieve a breakthrough, it will inevitably attract a large number of wealthy capitalists to invest in his experiment.

He could even benefit all of humanity on Earth, win a Nobel Prize, become the world's most famous and greatest biologist, and be remembered by history.

Li Chuan was not surprised by Stern's refusal, because he knew why Stern refused.

It's mainly related to Dr. Banner. Bruce Banner, a brilliant doctor with seven doctoral degrees, participated in the "Army Biochemical Force Enhancement Project" a few years ago at the invitation of a U.S. general.

The idea is to use some remaining Captain America blood to recreate the "super soldier serum" from World War II.

An unexpected incident occurred during the experiment, resulting in Dr. Banner being exposed to gamma rays and mutating into an even more powerful and terrifying Hulk.

In order to obtain the Hulk's power, General Ross began a global manhunt for Dr. Banner. Dr. Banner, not wanting the Hulk's uncontrollable destructive power to be used in war, began his escape.

During this time, he met Dr. Stern, who was using the pseudonym Mr. Lan, online, and sent his blood to Stern so that he could help find a way to restore his body.

Stern was amazed by the wonder of Banner's blood. He mass-produced Banner's blood and planned to use it to develop a miraculous medicine that could cure hundreds of incurable diseases, thus making a name for himself and winning the Nobel Prize.

"Dr. Stern, I know that the blood Mr. Green gave you gave you some ideas. However, you may not know Mr. Green's background, and even if you do make a breakthrough, you probably won't be able to publish it."

Li Chuan smiled and said.

Upon hearing Li Chuan mention "Mr. Green," Stern's expression immediately changed:

How do you know all this?

Mr. Green was the online name of the netizen who sent him the blood; he had never told anyone about it.

Li Chuan picked up a small spoon, stirred the coffee on the table, and explained:

"I have a lot of friends, so I know a lot of things. Let me briefly tell you about what you're researching now."

Then, he calmly explained Dr. Banner's identity, current situation, and what might happen in the future.

"You mean, even if I do come up with something, I can't publish it, and General Ross might confiscate all my research data, or even imprison me?"

Stern's expression was somewhat uncertain.

If what Li Chuan said is true, then given the nature of his own government, this possibility is indeed very high.

Li Chuan nodded:

"Let me explain my terms in more detail, and you can consider them carefully."

First of all, I will fully support your research. Even if you don't develop the so-called drug that can cure hundreds of incurable diseases in five or ten years, I will still provide you with sufficient research funding and the best experimental equipment.

At the same time, you can rest assured that after you achieve your research results, you can publish them under your own name and try to win the Nobel Prize. As for the trouble with General Ross, I will help you resolve it.

Moreover, I have many biologists as excellent as you on my side, and I believe they can be of great help to you.

If Stern could develop a cure for a hundred incurable diseases, it would definitely bring huge profits to the group, although it would very likely infringe on the interests of many people.

But so what? If we openly target him, he's not an individual but a group with his own legal team. Moreover, he has a relationship with Tony now, so it's difficult to touch him given the prevailing trend.

He was even less afraid of the dark side. With his current strength, if he didn't care about the consequences, he could send the country's leader to his grave tomorrow.

Without considering the consequences, even the most powerful ordinary person is doomed to die in the face of a person with superpowers.

However, he wouldn't do that, because it would provoke attacks from all the superheroes in the world, which would be a losing proposition and would make him a public enemy.

However, if it is for the health of all mankind, and to allow those with terminal illnesses to be cured, then it is necessary to stand on the side of justice and fight against those evil capitalists and corrupt government officials who are trying to stop us.

Then there's no problem. I believe any superhero with a sense of justice would be willing to help.

It doesn't matter if Dr. Stern doesn't produce any results; what he values ​​most is Stern's ability in biological sciences.

It would be great if we could help each other try using the Hulk's blood to create potions and other products that could improve physical fitness. It could also be helpful for a lot of biological research later on.

They can also conveniently bring Dr. Banner himself over.

As for the experimental equipment and funding, whether Dr. Stern was there or not, he would have provided the highest level of support.

Upon hearing the conditions for Li Chuan's dismissal, Stern paced back and forth in the room for a while before finally making a decision:

"Okay, if you can really do what you say, I agree to join your group."

He wasn't entirely confident that he could develop a cure for all 100 incurable diseases, and the conditions Li Chuan offered were far too good. Even if he did achieve results, those capitalists might not be able to offer better terms than Li Chuan.

The key point is that the fact that he knew about "Mr. Green" and was still able to find him shows that he must really have the ability to resist General Ross.

"Welcome to the Li Group. I will send someone to pick you up tomorrow. All your experimental samples will be properly transported to the new laboratory."

Upon hearing Stern's reply, Li Chuan stood up and shook hands with Stern with a smile.

He wouldn't force Stern if she really didn't agree, but he would definitely come over that night to collect a copy of the Hulk's blood sample and Stern's experimental data.

Given his current situation, it would be difficult for him to significantly improve his strength in the short term by relying solely on his own training in chakra and chakra nature transformation.

However, if a stable supply of serums similar to the Super Soldier Serum and the Hulk transformation could be obtained, that would be a different story.

"We currently have Dr. Stern and Dr. Ethan openly, and Dr. Smith and Dr. Lister secretly as well. Once we get Dr. Banner in, getting a stable potion to enhance physical strength shouldn't be a problem!"

After leaving Stern, Li Chuan walked through the Greyburn College campus and thought to himself.

Dr. Ethan stayed in Tony's for a few days. After learning that Li Chuan was selling large quantities of the green life-saving pills, which could have been sold at high prices, at a bargain price where he could hardly make any profit, so that the poorest people in the world would not go hungry, he decisively joined the Li Group.
