"Alright, now let me tell you about our topic for today, Miss Abigail. Actually, our Hero Association wants to cooperate with your House of Evolution. I wonder if Miss Abigail is interested in this."

"Cooperation? Tell me about it," Abigail asked with some curiosity.

"Actually, it's like this. According to our current investigation of the House of Evolution, the gene optimization technology that you Evolutionists have mastered can be described as an epoch-making technology. In recent years, the number of heroes has been decreasing year by year. Obviously, in the previous period, almost everyone who had the qualities to become a hero had already become a hero."

Therefore, barring unforeseen circumstances, the Hero Association may struggle to have enough heroes for a long time to come, while the number of monsters shows no signs of decreasing, and may even be increasing. This is very troubling for us, and the appearance of the House of Evolution has given us a direction.

"You mean you want us to cooperate with you and use genetic optimization technology to create more heroes for you?" Abigail summarized briefly after hearing what this person said.

"You could say that I've found that in every exam, many people have enough awareness to become heroes, but they lack the strength to do so. After all, having the awareness alone isn't enough to become a hero. If you don't have the strength to defeat monsters, becoming a hero is just suicide."

However, with the technology of the House of Evolution, this group of people could become heroes, thus expanding the number of heroes again. This way, when monsters appear, enough heroes could be readily summoned to deal with them. What do you think, Miss Abigail?

After listening to the man's words, Abigail thought for a moment and then said...

"sure."

After saying that, Abigail gave a bright smile.

However, everyone else present stared blankly at Abigail.

This is not quite what I expected...

Chapter 82 An Unexpected Incident During Sleep

The Hero Association felt like they'd punched a cotton ball when Abigail so easily agreed to their request.

Regardless, the discussion had to continue, so Abigail listened to the Hero Association members discussing various matters until it finally ended.

"This is so boring. I wish I hadn't come." On the way back, Abigail complained as she sat on the armored gorilla.

"Lady Abigail, I don't quite understand why you so easily handed over the right to evolve to the Hero Association?" the armored gorilla asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Why not give it to them? Free publicity, might as well take it. But then again..."

As she spoke, Abigail looked at the trembling tornado on the other shoulder of the armored gorilla and said:

"I said, what are you doing following us?"

"None of your business. I can go wherever I want. By the way, are you human or were you originally a chimpanzee?"

As she spoke, Tornado tapped the helmet on the armored gorilla's head and asked.

“I was human before the modification, of course. The research of the House of Evolution is aimed at the evolution of humans,” the armored gorilla replied.

"I see. By the way, do you know Zombie Man?"

"Zombie Man? I don't remember him. Why do you think I know him?" the armored gorilla asked curiously.

"That's what that guy said himself, of course. He said he escaped from the House of Evolution. You really don't know him?" Tornado asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Hmm, let me check... Oh, I see. I know the zombie man you mentioned, but he wasn't called Zombie Man when he was at the House of Evolution. He was called Undying Experiment Subject No. 66," Armored Gorilla said after comparing the data from the House of Evolution and the Hero Association.

"Oh, is that really the case?"

“I said, we’re getting ready to go back to J City. If you don’t have anything else to do, you should go back,” Abigail asked, turning her head.

"Are you going back already?" Tornado seemed a little disappointed.

"What's wrong? Could it be that you don't want me to leave?" Abigail asked curiously, looking at the trembling Tornado.

"Hmph, I'm just slightly interested in you, don't flatter yourself." The trembling tornado turned her head and said with a hint of arrogance.

"Do as you please, Armored Gorilla, let's go." Ignoring the haughty Tornado, Abigail directly commanded the Armored Gorilla.

"Yes, Lady Abigail."

After answering, the armored gorilla instantly jumped up and leaped towards the train station.

"Hey, why did you just leave like that?" Tornado shouted as she watched the armored gorilla leap dozens of meters away in an instant.

After a brief hesitation, the trembling tornado followed.

"I say, why are you still following us?" Abigail asked, looking at the trembling tornado flying beside her with some confusion.

"I want to go with you too. I think the House of Evolution will be more fun," Tornado said to herself.

Watching the trembling tornado float by, Abigail suddenly wanted to see what it looked like. (Simply put, she wanted to court death again.)

So Abigail said:

"I see. But I'm sorry! We don't welcome little kids where I'm from, so you'll have to go back to where you came from."

"Little brat? What did you say? I told you, I'm 28 years old. Besides, do you even have the right to talk to me like that?" Trembling Tornado was quite bothered by her short stature.

"I don't care if people call me a brat. It's not like I'll actually become a brat just because people say so. Only brats would care about this kind of thing, right, brat..."

"Little brat, little brat... how many times do you want me to emphasize this?! Do you believe I'll go to J City today and uproot your House of Evolution?" Tornado shouted, sounding a bit temperamental.

"Then go ahead. Don't forget you're a hero. Doing something destructive like this will get you a spanking," Abigail said nonchalantly. Putting aside whether Tornado would actually do it, even if she did, it's just one building, not the real headquarters.

"You, you, you, you're driving me crazy!" Provoked by Abigail, the trembling tornado stomped her feet in anger in the air.

"Tch, so it was just talk, just a little kid after all?" Abigail continued to mock, watching Tornado tremble and jump up and down in anger.

"Damn it, I'm going to teach you a lesson today." Although your classmate is 28 years old, he doesn't seem very mature. After being provoked by Abigail for a while, he became somewhat irrational.

However, just as the trembling tornado was about to teach Abigail a lesson, she came to her senses and found that Abigail and the armored gorilla had already disappeared.

"Hahaha, packing up the pens and running away, that was so damn exciting."

Immediately, the trembling tornado heard Abigail's voice. By then, the two of them had already run more than ten meters.

boom......

Suddenly, a car next to them seemed to be crushed by some enormous force, turning into a flat iron disc. The surrounding pedestrians stared in astonishment at the poor car that had suddenly turned into a flat iron disc.

"Abigail, do you think you can get away?" Tornado said through gritted teeth.

Immediately, her body began to emit a green light, and at the same time, the armored gorilla felt an irresistible pulling force.

"Oh, it seems there's no escaping it after all!" Abigail said, looking at the gorilla that had already floated up.

"Lady Abigail, you should run! I'll try to hold her off," the armored gorilla said, realizing there was no way they could escape together.

“Don’t worry, I have a plan.” Abigail said calmly as she watched the trembling tornado slowly drifting over.

"??"

"Hahaha, let's see how you run now." The trembling tornado said with a smug laugh.

“You seem to think we’re out of options, right?” Abigail said, looking at the approaching, trembling tornado.

"What, I'd like to see what other tricks you have up your sleeve, you little brat?" Tornado said with a look of disdain.

“Mental shock!” Just then, Abigail launched her attack.

Just then, Tornado, trembling, suddenly felt as if something had hit her head, causing a sharp headache. In the dim light, she seemed to hear Abigail say to her, "Bye-bye, I'm leaving."

Then, the trembling tornado saw the armored gorilla leap up and disappear before her eyes.

It took a while for the trembling tornado to recover.

"Damn it, Abigail, you're not getting away. I'll show you what happens when you anger me. Don't think I don't know where you live."

..................

Time flies, and almost a week has passed. During this week, Abigail did some serious things, such as actively preparing for the establishment of branches. With the help of the powerful staff of the House of Evolution, branches have been established in various cities. Although they are not yet officially operating, they can be put into operation as soon as a few more people are recruited.

"Lady Abigail, this is the list sent by the Hero Association. These are all hero candidates who passed the written and oral exams, but did not meet the physical fitness requirements. Please take a look."

In her office, Abigail glanced at the list on her desk. She hadn't seen any of these people before; they were clearly just extras. Since they were all just extras, there was nothing interesting about it.

"You can handle this as you see fit. According to the Hero Association's requirements, optimizing these people's genes to C-level is enough. By the way, how's the branch office going?" Abigail asked casually.

"The buildings needed for the branch offices have been set up in various cities, and our headquarters staff have already gone there. We can officially start operations once the local staff are recruited," the assistant reported briefly.

"Very good, get it up and running as soon as possible. Thinking about it, we should also be preparing to start implementing the second phase of the project. People's psychological resilience should have improved by now, so let the people in the R&D department get ready."

"Yes, Lady Abigail. By the way, recently a considerable number of wealthy individuals have contacted the project team, hoping to reach out to you to discuss cooperation. It seems that because of Zenil, many wealthy individuals now want to obtain that kind of enhancement."

"Then let the project team discuss it with them, and they can take care of what to do. I'm too lazy to get involved. Just don't disappoint me."

"Okay, I'll tell the project manager," the assistant nodded.

"Is there anything else you need to report to me? If not, you may leave now," Abigail said, seeing that her assistant seemed to have nothing to say.

"Very well, Lady Abigail, I'll be leaving now." After giving a slight bow, the assistant turned and left the huge office that occupied an entire floor.

Honestly, this place is more like Abigail's lounge than an office. Although Abigail does handle some business here, she spends most of her time here being bored, so she designed it as a place where she can play games, watch TV, and sleep.

After her assistant left, Abigail stood up from her desk, turned on her game console, and lay down on the sofa to continue playing the game she hadn't finished before.

"What is this? It looks interesting."

Not long after Abigail started playing the game, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her. Turning around, she saw a green-haired girl floating there – it was Trembling Tornado.

"How did you get here?" Abigail asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Heh, heh. Didn't I tell you? I'll show you what happens when you anger me. Are you ready?" Tornado said smugly, hands on her hips.

"Oh, want to play a game? It's pretty boring for me to play alone." Seeing Tornado looking like a child who had won a game, Abigail didn't mind and casually took out another controller from the side and handed it to Tornado.

"Hey, don't ignore me! I'm here to get revenge on you!" Tornado seemed a little angry at Abigail's nonchalant attitude.

"Okay, okay, let's play a game first. If you don't want to play, you can just watch from the sidelines," Abigail replied casually.

"Hmph, I'd like to see what's so fun about this game of yours." The trembling tornado casually took the arm that Abigail offered her, then floated to Abigail's side, sat on the sofa, looked at the game screen, and asked with some doubt, "So, how do you play this thing?"

"You don't even know how to play games?" Abigail looked at the trembling Tornado with some surprise, knowing that she was playing a very basic side-scrolling platformer. Anyone who has played games would have experience with this.

"What can I do? Nobody's ever told me anything about this. Stop talking nonsense and just tell me how to play this thing!"

"Alright, let me, a veteran gamer, tell you how to play the game."

........................

"Hey, Abigail, what do we do now? Oh, I'm going to die, I'm going to die! Damn it, I'm dead again."

boom......

After the game screen went black, Tornado, trembling, threw the controller she was holding to the ground: "I'm so angry! Give me another one, I refuse to believe I can't beat this game today!"

Nearby, Abigail casually handed another handle from the box to the trembling Tornado, while on the other side, a box was already full of broken handles.

“I said, that’s about enough. It’s almost midnight now. Aren’t you going back?” Abigail said helplessly, looking at the completely dark sky outside.
