“First of all, our Five Rings Society, no, it’s the water steward, wants to cooperate with Cloud Summit to jointly operate… some unique things.” Ye Zhongming squinted and said, “Magic crystal weapons are not for sale at the moment.”
Liu Chengyu shook his head, “Mr. Ye misunderstood. We don’t need magic crystal weapons; what we need is… your villa’s gene warriors!”
Ye Zhongming was slightly taken aback, not expecting this man to respond in such a way.
Indeed, gene warriors and magic crystal weapons were both considered the two core aspects of Cloud Summit Villa. However, compared to the increasing variety and recognition of magic crystal weapons, gene warriors remained somewhat dull. Aside from the self-destructing warriors that appeared last time, there were hardly many mature gene technologies that could be applied to combat.
Of course, Ye Zhongming knew that this was mainly because he was present to contribute to the development of magic crystal weapons, sharing relevant theories with Le Da Yuan early on, and proposing proven weapon prototypes from his past life, which allowed Le Da Yuan to incorporate his technology and rapidly develop it.
But for biological gene technology, Ye Zhongming only had a basic understanding. Discussing prototypes had little significance; they merely consisted of humanoid and beast-like combinations, and he didn’t need to elaborate, as Liu Zhenghong was already aware of this. In his past life, Ye Zhongming’s understanding of gene life and Liu Zhenghong was still limited to the reputation of Red Creator and those pieced-together beings, like Frankensteins.
Even for Liu Zhenghong’s experiments, Ye Zhongming provided research subjects and various equipment to the best of his abilities; however, ultimately, Liu Zhenghong still needed to start from scratch.
Achieving the current accomplishments was already quite impressive.
Especially the Baal Potion, although it was extremely taboo, if Cloud Summit ever faced a crisis, it would undoubtedly be a card worth playing.
Ye Zhongming always believed that Liu Zhenghong’s laboratory would eventually play a role that could rival the magic crystal laboratory, or even surpass it. In fact, the future of humanity and this planet might rest on this laboratory.
He never expected that the Five Rings Society would set their sights on the gene life laboratory.
There was no denying that their perspective was quite astute.
“If anyone discovers that their secrets are being spied on, they would be furious, let alone a battle group. Are you not afraid that your demands will truly anger us?”
Ye Zhongming had already calmed down; his tone didn’t fluctuate much, but to Liu Chengyu, it felt like a ninth-level giant beast had quietly opened its eyes.
“I think you misunderstood,” Liu Chengyu steadied his emotions, “Five Rings Society is doing business, not waging war. The gene life we need is not a large-scale army or mass-produced models. Oh, I apologize; I don’t know how you refer to them, so please allow me to use the term ‘models.’ What I, or rather, Five Rings Society needs, are those individuals that can create a strong sensory impact, with distinctive appearances, powerful abilities, and unique traits.”
“We need them to participate in life-and-death combat, similar to underground, unregulated fight events; the more stimulating for the audience, the better.”
Seeing that Ye Zhongming was about to say something, Liu Chengyu quickly continued, “Mr. Ye doesn’t need to rush to refuse; you can think it over. Our cooperation would be mutually beneficial. We obtain the novel fighters we need, and you can treat our underground fight venue as your clinical trial base. We make money; you enhance technology, thus creating better models. What’s not to like?”
Ye Zhongming felt a slight stir in his heart.
What this man said indeed had some merit.
The gene warriors Liu Zhenghong developed did encounter difficulties during trials.
If they found some mutated life forms as opponents, regardless of the outcome, the feedback and references obtained would be limited. After all, mutated life forms would only fight instinctively against gene warriors; they couldn’t provide Liu Zhenghong with detailed data as required.
