Wizard: Adventures in Two Worlds-Chapter 645 - 3: Laboratory

"I came with a friend."

As the two ’vampires’ approached, a strong, pungent fragrance hit them.

To be honest, the smell was unpleasant, but it perfectly suited the atmosphere here, stimulating adrenaline secretion.

"Then why are you alone now?"

The voluptuous female vampire leaned close to Carl, casually resting her shapely hips on his leg, playing with his collar with one hand, and said with a sly smile:

"Uncle."

"Wanna have some fun together?"

"You’ve already called me Uncle, so it doesn’t seem appropriate to have fun together." Carl gently shook his head.

"Hehe..." The two women giggled:

"Uncle is so interesting."

"But we do like mature men like you, the two of us sisters can together, you know!"

As they spoke, both women blinked alluringly, radiating charm.

"Better not."

Carl thought for a moment and shook his head again:

"My friend is here."

"Hmph!"

Monica, who saw this scene through the crowd, snorted softly and glanced icily at the two women:

"Mr. Carl is a friend I invited, watch yourselves next time and don’t touch what’s not to be touched."

The two women initially didn’t care, but upon hearing the voice, their expressions changed drastically. They hurriedly got up, trembling, and saluted.

"Lady Monica!"

"We didn’t know..."

"Leave!" Monica’s voice was grim:

"Don’t let me see you again."

"Yes, yes."

"..."

Even in the dim nightclub lights, one could still see the two women’s pale faces; upon hearing this, they hastily left.

"Impressive!"

Carl clapped and praised:

"Is Lady Monica very famous here?"

"Of course!"

Monica tossed her long hair:

"This place is also a Remy family asset."

Carl slowly nodded.

Blaze, though young, is an expert in organic chemistry, holding patents for several synthesized molecules.

Even without relying on his family background, if he wanted, he could easily secure significant investments.

"This way!"

He reached out to lead the way, nodding to passing students and colleagues with a smile on his face.

The girls passing by mostly blushed and greeted him warmly.

Carl followed behind and remarked:

"It seems Blaze is quite popular at the university!"

"Of course."

Blaze held his head high:

"Back in school, I was the talk of the campus fraternity, and I still am."

"Especially among the girls, which is also a bit of a headache for me."

He shook his head and sighed, showing no signs of distress but rather full of pride.

Certainly.

Blaze’s appearance was extremely handsome, with blond hair, blue eyes, and a chiseled face, alongside a strong physique, it was natural for women to be attracted to him. When the nightclub ended last night, at least four women’s scents lingered on him.

"Aren’t you pursuing Monica?"

Carl asked curiously:

"She doesn’t mind."

"..." Blaze’s expression stiffened slightly:

"I would hope that she did mind."

He and Monica had been classmates since elementary school and had maintained a relationship for some time during college. But for some reason, after college, Monica kicked him to the curb.

Their current relationship is more than friends but not quite lovers, which troubled Blaze for a long time.

"Here we are."

Opening the door, Blaze gestured with his hand:

"This is your independent laboratory."

"Hmm?" Carl was taken aback:

"Independent laboratory?"

The Remy family is very wealthy and greatly sponsors Ligong University, but independent laboratories are usually prepared for renowned professors.

Or for research projects with promising future returns.

Carl,

An unknown biology teacher, unexpectedly equipped with an independent laboratory upon arrival.

He couldn’t help but feel curious.

"You got lucky."

Blaze shrugged:

"Two months ago, Professor Jim, who was in charge of this independent laboratory, passed away in an accident. His research happened to align with yours, so it was handed over to you."

"Oh!"

Carl touched his chin:

"Should I feel regret for Professor Jim’s accident or grateful for my good luck?"

"Haha..." Blaze laughed heartily:

"You don’t have to express anything."

"Clap!"

He clapped his hands lightly and called to the busy figures within the laboratory:

"Barro, over here."

"Professor Blaze." Barro was a young man under twenty, slim and wearing thick glasses, giving off an honest and simple impression.

"Hmm."

Blaze gestured with his hand:

"This is Professor Carl, who will be responsible for the projects in this laboratory in the future and your new tutor."

"Professor Carl!"

"Hello!"

The two shook hands lightly.

"If you don’t mind..." Carl shrugged:

"Could you introduce Professor Jim’s research projects?"

"Sure."

Barro nodded:

"Professor Jim was a genius in the field of gene editing. I chose my current major after reading his papers."

"Unfortunately..."

"We are now mainly researching gene improvement, and have already started attempting to alter gene chains..."

He led the two into the laboratory, pointing to several laboratory animals like mice and spiders to introduce their research.

"This mouse used to be black, and the silk produced by this spider has been modified to be more resilient..."

When introducing the research projects, Barro, who was originally lackluster and timid, seemed to transform, becoming spirited and eloquent.

"How was it achieved?"

"Gene knockout."

"Knockout?"

"Yes!" Barro’s eyes gleamed:

"Professor Jim discovered that all spider genes are consistent, and the differences in species are due to dominant genes. By knocking out certain genes, some hidden genes might emerge, changing the spider’s phenotype."

"Is it possible to actively control it?"

"...No."

Carl seemed thoughtful.

No wonder Monica was so interested in his research theories, the answer was here.

No wonder...

He was made the heir of Professor Jim’s independent laboratory.

"My research aligns with Professor Jim’s in certain aspects, both aim to influence receptors through gene modification."

Coming to the computer, browsing through the public files, Carl said:

"But unlike Professor Jim’s biological modifications, my focus is on adjusting the hormone levels of organisms to reduce disease susceptibility."

"Clap!"

Blaze clapped his hands:

"That’s a great research direction. If it can help people overcome cancer, the commercial benefits would be astounding."

"No wonder Monica was willing to leverage her family’s power for you."

"Cancer is a bit far off." Carl shook his head:

"Let’s start with some congenital diseases, and besides, animal trials haven’t even been officially conducted yet."

"Hmm..."

He paused, looking at the files on the computer:

"Barro."

"Did you ever try to fuse different gene forms into a single organism?"

"There was such a concept." Barro nodded:

"Professor Jim wanted to create an all-powerful spider, but that experiment eventually failed."

?

A flicker of realization passed through Carl’s eyes. He shook his head and continued searching downwards, his expression becoming serious.

Failure?

Perhaps not!

The records here have been altered post-event, and the experimental materials seem somewhat special.

Transcendent creatures?

Was Professor Jim’s death really an accident?

"Could I take a look at the confidential files inside?"

"This..." Barro hesitated for a moment:

"After Professor Jim’s accident, the BHP Group sealed part of the research results, and I don’t have access permission."

"But as far as I know, there’s nothing much to see, just some experimental data, and failure data at that."

"Really?" Carl remained noncommittal.
