Recruiting Professor Connors

Meeting Curt Connors's gaze, Noah said seriously, "I am the owner of Umbrella.

I came here this time to invite you to join Umbrella.

Of course, I can guarantee that I haven't lied to you about anything.

In fact, the company already has some promising products that have caught the military's attention.

If you're interested, you can find some time to visit Umbrella. I guarantee you won't be disappointed."

As he spoke, Noah handed over a business card.

Curt Connors hesitated for a moment before accepting it.

If possible, he naturally hoped that one day, his right arm could regenerate.

Seeing Curt Connors take the card, Noah smiled.

He knew the professor was tempted.

He had been eyeing the famous Professor Lizard for quite some time.

Aside from Soya Elvis, the head of research, there was no one at his company's laboratory capable of taking charge.

But Professor Lizard was different.

The Lizard Serum certainly had many flaws, but that did not diminish its truly astonishing abilities.

Professor Connors's ability in biological research was obvious from the fact that he had developed the Lizard Serum.

And he had not been lying, either.

The T-Virus was hard to say, but he also had the Pure Giant Gene.

This gene was fully capable of regenerating severed limbs.

Of course, researching it would be extremely difficult.

But wasn't that what he himself was for?

All the others needed to do was assist with the research.

Soya Elvis would lead the team researching the T-Virus, while Dr. Curt Connors would research the Pure Giant Gene.

With himself and the system tackling the key problems as well, they could accelerate the research much more effectively.

As for the research into zombie dogs, he did not intend to continue it.

The Fang Fighting Wolf, the primary gene of the zombie dogs, simply lacked potential. Even if he continued researching it, it would not be very useful.

Unless he later improved it by adding other outstanding genes.

For now, Fighting Wolves and Lethalizers were enough to meet his transitional needs.

After taking the card, Curt Connors nodded.

"Understood. I'll go take a look tomorrow."

Hopefully, this would become a turning point in his life.

Curt Connors felt a little more hopeful.

After agreeing to meet at Umbrella the next day, Curt Connors looked at the lizard in the glass tank.

It was the next research target he had prepared.

A lizard's ability to regenerate its tail made it highly valuable for research.

Perhaps he would not need it for the time being.

He hoped Umbrella could truly give him a surprise.

Although he was only a freshman, Noah had already received permission to intern early because of his outstanding grades.

So under normal circumstances, he did not need to attend classes.

With the matter settled, he left directly.

Compared to attending class, he had far more important research to conduct.

The research into T-Virus transmission had reached a critical stage.

He needed to solve the transmission issue within the next few days, then begin cultivating Fighting Wolves.

After all, the contract had already been signed. Any delay would cause serious problems.

He stayed in the laboratory for an unknown amount of time.

As he researched, he compared his work against the research results provided by the system.

Combining the two, he rapidly resolved the issue of transmissibility.

While he was busy, someone came in to tell him that a man named Curt Connors was looking for him and claimed to have an appointment.

Noah's eyes lit up.

"Director Elvis, come with me to meet Professor Connors.

If nothing unexpected happens, he'll be working with you from now on."

Elvis nodded, and the two headed up to the company's upper floors together.

Curt Connors was wearing a suit, but Noah could tell at a glance that he clearly wasn't used to such clothing.

"Professor Connors, allow me to introduce Soya Elvis, the head of the research department.

This is Professor Connors."

Noah introduced the two men to each other.

"Umbrella is divided into two sections.

The surface level is the office area, while the underground level is the research area.

At present, our company's main research task is the T-Virus.

It's a miraculous virus.

If we can fully understand it, I believe we can delve into God's Forbidden Zone!"

Elvis spoke with fervent excitement.

God's Forbidden Zone!

Curt Connors naturally knew what that represented.

One study suggested that

ninety percent of the human brain remained dormant.

That ninety percent was God's Forbidden Zone.

It was said that even Einstein had only utilized fifteen percent of his brain.

No one knew what it would mean to delve into God's Forbidden Zone.

But one thing was certain: if someone could fully unlock God's Forbidden Zone, that person would be a god.

Noah smiled from the side and said, "God's Forbidden Zone isn't so easily touched.

Even that smug bastard Tony Stark can only be said to have barely touched it.

As much as I hate to admit it, Tony Stark is definitely one of the smartest people in the world.

The T-Virus may be excellent, but saying it can delve into God's Forbidden Zone isn't really realistic.

Still, I do believe that if we can thoroughly research the T-Virus, superpowers may become possible."

Elvis laughed heartily.

"Boss, if Tony Stark is the smartest person in the world, then what does that make you?"

"Me? I'm naturally far inferior to him."

Noah spoke modestly.

Elvis shook his head.

"The two of you have simply chosen different fields.

If you had gone into military technology, you might not be inferior to him.

A result that over a hundred people in the company couldn't solve, you resolved in half an hour.

I don't believe Tony Stark is smarter than you."

Noah merely smiled without saying anything.

He was smart too, but without the system's research assistance, he didn't think he could compare to Tony Stark.

Of course, the system's existence was an established fact.

So now, he truly didn't feel inferior to Tony Stark.

Especially since he had the ability to exchange for genes from other worlds.

He believed that his future achievements would certainly surpass Iron Man.

He had never doubted that.

As for Curt Connors, he merely remained silent.

He knew Noah was a genius.

He just hadn't expected Noah to be held in such high regard by Elvis, the head of research.

The three walked as they entered the elevator.

Noah said:

"Professor Connors, if you are willing to join Umbrella, you will not be joining Director Elvis's team.

I hope you can lead a team of your own in research.

This new research is not the T-Virus, but compared to the T-Virus, the new project is far more compatible with the human body's mechanisms. It may not compare to the T-Virus in other respects, but in terms of regenerative ability, it surpasses the T-Virus by far.

That is what I believe to be the true hope of regenerating your severed limb."

In an instant, Curt Connors's eyes lit up.

He had thought the T-Virus was the possibility Noah had mentioned.

So it wasn't...

When the three arrived at the laboratory, Noah led the two of them into a sealed lab.

Then, Noah carefully took a test tube from cold storage. Inside was some flesh and tissue.

Noah extracted a portion of the tissue.

"Dr. Connors, take a look."

At Noah's words, Curt Connors looked at the extracted tissue through a microscope.

Before long, Curt Connors's expression grew much more grave.

A moment later, his face was filled with shock.

"These cells are incredibly invasive, and their vitality is astonishing!"

"This tissue came from a special humanoid organism.

"It would not be convenient to disclose the exact source, but I can tell you this: aside from a fatal weakness, this creature has no flaws.

"Even if it loses a limb, it can grow it back."

That final sentence made disbelief flash in Curt Connors's eyes.

A humanoid organism capable of regenerating severed limbs?
