I work as an editor at Marvel.

Zhao Li sighed. Did these kids think the Clock Tower was like Li Jing's Pagoda, where you could clearly feel the curvature of the space once you went inside?

"Is the Earth a sphere?" Zhao Li asked.

Chen Xiaohu pondered for two seconds, "The highest mountain on Earth is the Himalayas. If scaled down proportionally, the most convex part of the Earth does not exceed the error standard of a ping-pong ball, so it should be considered a sphere, and quite round at that."

"When you're on the ground, can you clearly feel that it's a sphere?" Zhao Li continued.

"Hmm... Teacher, I understand now. You mean 'only because we are in the mountain'! Because we are in the tower, we don't know it's a tower." Chen Xiaohu looked like he had just realized something.

“No, I just mean it’s too big. You wouldn’t be able to tell even if you went outside,” Zhao Li said, shaking his head.

The group continued onward, and after walking a short distance, they saw a series of sculptures, each with a message left by the person on it.

Li Shiyao made a special search and actually found a sculpture of Heimerdinger with the words, "I know, the answer is forty-two, but what is the question behind this answer?"

"Professor Heimerdinger, what exactly does the sentence on your sculpture mean?" asked a student who, like Li Shiyao, had also seen the sentence.

Heimerdinger thought for a moment, waved his hand, and continued hopping forward. "I forgot. I still can't remember what I was thinking about at the time."

"Ah~ it's just the literal meaning!" The student was a little disappointed.

Zhao Li, who was a little behind in the group, pursed his lips. That sentence was not just what it seemed to mean, because he had asked a similar question before. At that time, Yama's answer was that when Heimerdinger remembered that question, Heimerdinger would be completely extraordinary.

Heimerdinger has already found the answers to many questions. Now all he needs to do is find the questions as well and match them with the answers. At that time, Heimerdinger will no longer need to wear the title of the closest professional to the legendary. Heimerdinger will completely step into the threshold of the legendary realm, and he will not be an ordinary legendary.

When Li Shiyao heard Heimerdinger say he couldn't remember, he subconsciously prepared to calculate it again. This was a habit of his; he would calculate before encountering a problem. Although Li Shiyao himself didn't know what the calculated results meant most of the time, he still developed the habit.

*Slap!* An invisible hand slapped Li Shiyao on the head. He looked up and saw Zhao Li glaring at him.

Li Shiyao quickly lowered his posture and obediently followed the group, while also taking a look at the words left on the sculpture next to him.

Zhao Li shook his head. Students these days are really bold; you could call it ignorance and fearlessness.

Although Li Shiyao certainly can't calculate anything now, if he remembers this matter in the future and doesn't change the habit, it might cause a lot of trouble.

Ten minutes later, they had finished walking along the path leading to the sculpture. Heimerdinger led them to a large building, then stopped and turned to look at them.

"We are about to visit the Institute of Pharmaceutical Research - Department of Biomedical Research - Science and Technology Section - Virus Recombination Research Laboratory. This is a newly built, very small research laboratory. One of the researchers there is someone who, like you, has only recently come into contact with the occult, but she has already become a very reliable researcher. Please wait a moment while I contact them."

Li Shiyao's curiosity was piqued the moment he heard this. Someone who had only recently come into contact with the occult could become a legitimate researcher? Are there really people like that in the world? No, wait, I think I've already met one. That Mr. Tony Stark seems to be such a person.

Thinking about it this way, there are really a lot of geniuses in this world.

Chapter 139 Recruiting talent should be done while the opportunity is hot.

Inside the virus recombination research lab, everyone was either drinking tea and chatting, or doing some data processing. Unfortunately, work had to be suspended early for visiting students.

Under normal circumstances, the entire research lab is sealed off, and everyone entering must wear protective suits, undergo various detection spells, and must undergo two hours of isolation in the isolation room to leave.

The person in charge, with his legs crossed, received a call from Heimerdinger. After putting down the communicator, under the watchful eyes of all the researchers in the laboratory, he looked at a girl who was standing near the foot of the research room.

The explanation to the new generation of members is a task that everyone is looking forward to. For the past five hundred years, the biggest problem of the Clock Tower and the Heavenly Court has been the extremely low turnover rate of personnel, which is almost zero.

Although the population growth rate is positive even though the number of newborns is small because everyone lives long enough, the meager increase in population makes it impossible to get people moving between different positions.

This was the biggest change to their research lab, but it was just a matter of transferring some people from other departments to form a new research lab.

"Shiho Miyano, get ready. The task of welcoming the new students is assigned to you. The confidentiality levels of all the information that needs to be kept secret have been sent to your personal terminal. As for the rest, you can decide," the person in charge said.

The other researchers felt a little regretful upon hearing this, but choosing Shiho Miyano was normal. She had only been with the institute for three months and was already able to do a lot of research work, which was a great role model for the students. Moreover, as a non-pure Clock Tower researcher, the generation gap between her and the students should be relatively smaller.

"Boss, can I not go? I haven't finished my work yet." Shiho Miyano looked up and replied calmly. She was someone who needed to get full attendance and performance bonuses, after all, she not only had to support herself, but also her older sister.

“It’s best not to.” The person in charge scratched his head. “How about this, after this visit, I’ll give you three days of paid leave. Also, there are performance points for visiting and receiving visitors. If you’re still willing to do this, then there’s nothing I can do.”

Without a word, Shiho Miyano stood up, tossed her hair, and walked to the person in charge. "How much preparation time do I have?"

"Um... Professor Heimerdinger took his students to the intelligent hall to look at some video materials in half an hour," the person in charge said.

"Okay, I'll take this task. Thank you, boss." Shiho Miyano patted the hand raised by the person in charge, picked up her bag, and strode towards the disinfection channel.

Watching Shiho Miyano's retreating figure, the person in charge blinked. There was something else he hadn't said: there was no need for any preparations to receive those students, but it was difficult to say such things out loud, as it could dampen their enthusiasm.

"Hmph~ Hmph~ Hmph~ Hmph~ Hmph~" After passing through the disinfection channel, Shiho Miyano hummed a cheerful tune as she walked from the staff entrance to her room.

"Sis~ I'm back~" After swiping open her front door, Shiho Miyano jumped up, kicked her shoes aside, and ran in barefoot on the self-heating floor.

Akemi Miyano floated over from the side and arranged the shoes neatly. "I told you, be careful. How can a girl like you find a boyfriend if you keep kicking your shoes around like this? You always come home with your shoes all over the place."

Despite her sister's nagging, Shiho Miyano's smile remained unchanged. She reached out and gently tapped the wardrobe next to her. In an instant, the small wardrobe, now with expanded space, revealed several hundred pieces of clothing.

"Why are you back so early today? Is the lab on holiday? Or did you take leave to go on a date?" Miyano Akemi asked excitedly, flashing to Miyano Shiho's side in a flash.

"No, sis, my boss asked me to greet the new students who are visiting the institute this year, and he gave me three days of paid leave. Besides, I told you, I won't look for a partner until you do." Shiho Miyano said as she tried on clothes on her virtual avatar.

"Then it's over, we'll just grow old alone together," Miyano Akemi said jokingly, shaking her head.

“How can I be lonely when the two of us are together? Having you is enough,” Shiho Miyano said softly. She never dared to dream of being able to spend every day with her family.

Akemi Miyano didn't know what to say, so she leaned over to Shiho Miyano and started picking out clothes with her. "I think... this one is better. After all, it's for welcoming new students, so we should be more serious."

"I'll listen to you, sis."

Half an hour later, the atmosphere in the intelligent hall was a bit somber, because what had just been shown was a condensed documentary of the Resident Evil world, an educational film edited by the AI ​​using information extracted from Vernon's side.

Heimerdinger and Zhao Li exchanged a glance. It seemed like they had chosen the wrong film. They shouldn't have started with such a heavy educational film; it would have frightened the children.

When Shiho Miyano arrived, she immediately sensed something was wrong. She glanced at the recording and instantly understood why.

The sound of shoes clicking attracted the attention of the visiting students. Under their gaze, Shiho Miyano walked to the front of the classroom with a cold expression.

Then, she pinched a hair clip on her short hair with her right hand and gently pulled it down. As the hair clip fell, the hair continued to grow. In the blink of an eye, Shiho Miyano's hairstyle changed from brown short hair to long, beautiful hair like a waterfall, with the ends of the long hair fluttering.

Wow!

All the girls present immediately exclaimed, "This is so beautiful! And you can have short hair or long hair whenever you want. If this technology becomes widespread, not only can you change your hairstyle every day, but you won't even need to wash your hair anymore. You can just start with a shaved head and perfectly eliminate the need to wash your hair."

Although the other boys didn't say anything, they were also excited. For the next short period of time, Shiho Miyano would temporarily take over the position of their goddess.

"Hello everyone, I'm your speaker today, Shiho Miyano." Shiho Miyano smiled and said, "Just now, under the guidance of Professor Zhao Li and Professor Heimerdinger, you all saw the past Resident Evil world. Now, I'll take you to see the current Resident Evil world."

As soon as he finished speaking, dense elemental particles created a huge illusion in the hall, transporting all the students to NC, the largest reconstruction city in the current Resident Evil world.

"This was a global catastrophe. After overcoming it, for the first time, intelligent life on this planet truly overcame racial barriers, gender discrimination, and even reached a reconciliation with clones before we did..."

Zhao Li and Heimerdinger leaned against the side and nodded as they listened to Shiho Miyano's voice.

Zhao Li: "This girl is young, but her adaptability is quite good, which saves me a lot of trouble."

Heimerdinger: "That's right, I think my research institute is exactly missing someone like that."

Zhao Li was stunned for a moment. Professor Heimerdinger was quick to act. Was he already poaching people as soon as he arrived?

Even if you want to poach people, let's wait until after the tour is over...

Despite saying that, under Heimerdinger's influence, Zhao Li silently took out his communicator and sent a message to the Heavenly Court. He also felt that the Heavenly Court's Plague Department might be lacking such a talent.

Chapter 240 The Petty-Minded Heimerdinger

After Shiho Miyano finished her lecture, the visiting students' spirits lifted considerably, and the Resident Evil world had emerged from its most difficult period.

Next, this civilization will experience a period of rapid advancement, which will reach its peak in about a hundred years. At that time, the restored population and newly developed technologies will elevate the civilization's foundation to an unimaginable level.

The existence of a diverse, united human civilization can not only provide them with the most basic resource assistance, but also accelerate the arrival of that moment.

Of course, the existence of the Resident Evil world has also provided many benefits to our civilization. Not to mention, it is a market with great potential, and many of its technologies can inspire or even guide modern scholars.

"Every force in the world has two sides, and ultimately, the effect of that force depends on its user, that is, us," Shiho Miyano concluded her short speech.

“Teacher!” Peter raised his hand high.

"Go on," Shiho Miyano nodded, gesturing for him to stand up.

“I’d like to ask, is this the laboratory where you are researching the progenitor virus?” Peter stood up and asked.

This is not hard to guess. Heimerdinger said that this is a newly established laboratory with a very comprehensive database of research data on the Progenitor Virus, which is obviously related to the Progenitor Virus in the Resident Evil world.

“Yes, but not entirely.” Shiho Miyano didn’t hide anything; this wasn’t exactly confidential information at the Clock Tower. “My first project was to explore the comprehensive effects of GY particles on the human body, and my second project was a feasibility study on the gene repair function of the progenitor virus in the reconstruction of the human immune network.”

“GY particles?” Peter paused for a moment, then instantly realized what he meant, staring wide-eyed at Shiho Miyano.

A sense of pride rose in Shiho Miyano's heart. "That's right, this GY particle is named after Miyano's surname. Don't be too surprised. Once you've completed all your studies, I believe you'll all eventually have your names written into the project."

Amidst the praise, a child from a third-world country suddenly stood up. "Teacher, I am a student of classical pharmacy. I come from Stark, a town in the Middle East. I would like to ask you something."

The Middle East Alliance is a loose alliance initiated by Ethan. Relying on his status as a high-level professional, the alliance is barely recognized by most countries in the Middle East and has also gained recognition from the United Nations through exchanges of interests.

"Go ahead." Shiho Miyano was completely different from her usual aloof self, instead giving off a peaceful and amiable feeling, even though she wasn't old enough to use the word "amiable."

"Are you referring to AIDS when you say the feasibility study on the gene repair function of the progenitor virus in the reconstruction of the human immune network?!" The child looked a little agitated.

When the child asked the question, the entire group of visitors fell silent, and everyone looked expectantly at Shiho Miyano.

AIDS, one of the world's most incurable diseases, even with the emergence of the mystery side which may have removed the word "incurable," still faces the significant challenge of unimaginably high costs for complete treatment.

Currently, around 70 people die from AIDS globally each year, according to the United Nations. However, children who have received education and live in developing countries can say with certainty that this number is low, as many deaths from AIDS are not included.

"Yes. Everyone, the headquarters I work for is the Pharmaceutical Research Institute. Many of our potions can temporarily enhance human efficacy and aid in breakthroughs, but initially, potions were used to treat illnesses!" Shiho Miyano said very seriously. "We all operate under a larger concept: medicine. Whether it's modern medicine, classical medicine, the magical medicine of the Clock Tower, the plague school of the Heavenly Court, the healing science of the Druids, and so on, we all share a core idea: to heal the sick and save lives!"

"Teacher, can I be an intern here?" the child continued.

Shiho Miyano stepped down from the podium, walked to his side, bent down and looked at him. "What you need to do now is study hard. If you really plan to do research in this field in the future, you don't necessarily have to come here. Even though we have a new supervirus as a sample, I can't tell you for sure whether we will succeed. But I believe that as long as we don't give up, one day we will defeat AIDS."

“Alright, it’s getting late, let’s go visit other places,” Shiho Miyano said, standing up.

Throughout the day, Shiho Miyano led a large group of students around the research labs on the first floor of the Clock Tower, visiting some instrument rooms, some magic testing rooms, experiencing the disinfection functions and the cafeteria. Her popularity among the students continued to rise.

“Hey Peter, do you still think your Mr. Stark is the smartest man in the world?” a Hextech student whispered to Peter Parker in the evening.

"Hmm...of course, he's still the smartest!" Peter thought for a moment and gave an affirmative answer.

My friend shrugged. "Whatever."

Although Peter gave the same answer, his friends knew that Peter was starting to hesitate. It wasn't that they had anything against Tony Stark; it was just that they had heard Peter talk about him so much when they hung out together that they were tired of it.

“Ms. Miyano, it seems you’ve made quite a good impression on these children.” Zhao Li walked beside Shiho Miyano, and the two chatted casually as they listened to the hushed conversations in the group.

"I am honored." Shiho Miyano's smile never stopped.

Seeing that Shiho Miyano was in such a good mood, Zhao Li tentatively suggested, "Ms. Miyano, since you love children so much, why don't you come and be a teacher here? You don't need to worry about the negotiations; we'll handle all the related matters."

"Huh?" Shiho Miyano paused for a moment, then quickly shook her head. She didn't like children. To be precise, if you don't count the time she spent living in the distorted timeline, she herself had only recently passed the age of having children. Her happiness was simply because her current job was either saving people or teaching the next generation.

"Ahem, Mr. Zhao Li, Shiho is an important member of our important research lab. It's not appropriate for you to poach him like this." The person in charge quickly came over. This was unacceptable. He had received two poaching offers in just one day, and Heimerdinger had even directly tried to poach him.
