Waste

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting lively, Kino continued, "Thanks to the selflessness of these heroes, Dr. Banner's potion has also achieved an epic success. Next, please welcome the first test subject of the potion, Will."

A barefoot man walked up from backstage.

"Will, please introduce yourself!"

"Yes."

Will told reporters.

"I was a Marine Corps member. During a raid, both my legs were blown off and had to be amputated."

As he spoke, Will pulled down his pants without hesitation, revealing that he was only wearing shorts. The difference in skin color below his thighs was clearly visible, and there wasn't a single hair on his skin.

Reporters sitting in the front row even leaned in and gently touched the leg with their fingers to see if it was really a leg.

A reporter from the audience asked, "Mr. Will, is your new leg the same as your old one?"

"Of course, it even feels better than my legs used to be, which I used to have knee arthritis."

After saying that, Will took a few steps back and performed several clean and neat backflips.

His movements were light and fluid, and he landed steadily, demonstrating the agility and power of his new legs to everyone.

A burst of enthusiastic applause and cheers erupted from the audience, and the cameras of the reporters clicked incessantly.

Kino, seeing that the performance was nearly complete, had the members leave the stage.

"Mr. Kino, may I ask about the price of this potion?"

One reporter nearly slipped up, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Don't be nervous, I actually quite like the title 'Demon King'."

Kino glanced at him, a relaxed smile on her face, and then spoke.

"Each bottle of the Limb Regeneration Potion costs $5 million."

The reporters below the stage stirred. The price was very high considering the miraculous effects of the medicine, and most disabled people were in dire poverty.

Kino continued, "However, considering that most people would find it difficult to come up with that much money."

We proposed a plan where disabled people only need $50,000, and can take out a loan to buy the medication. However, the condition is that it can only be purchased once, and the medication must be injected on-site.

"Thank you so much, Demon King."

A male reporter in the audience stood up, his voice trembling with excitement, and continued:

"My wife is a ballet dancer who lost a leg a year ago. She was depressed every day looking at photos of herself dancing. Your plan has given our whole family new hope."

The male reporter bowed deeply to Kino on the stage, and the crowd below cast moved and approving glances.

Kino said, "Now let's answer the third question. The Healing Potion was indeed invented by someone else, but he's no longer in this world, and Dr. Banner took over the subsequent research."

"The most successful works among them are Rebirth Potion and Youth."

"What is youth?" some people have asked, as this was not included in the previous introduction.

"Youth is a woman's most important time, and this time only lasts a few short years, but we will extend this time."

Kino's voice was full of allure. He clapped his hands, and a group of women dressed in Qipao walked out, their figures graceful and their steps light.

These women carried a cup of liquid and a small mirror, distributing them to each person.

However, when it was the middle-aged woman's turn, it was a large bottle, which was clearly the small gift mentioned earlier.

The middle-aged woman stared at the large bottle of liquid in front of her, her face turning extremely pale, while those around her chuckled softly.

"This lady... hiss!"

Tony watched the woman in the Qipao walk past him and instinctively wanted to strike up a conversation, but a sharp pain in his waist made him gasp instantly.

"Pepper, I just wanted to ask where they bought their clothes, I wanted to buy you some too."

"This is an oriental Qipao, it's really beautiful."

Pepper's gaze was drawn to the Qipao, and she temporarily stopped looking at Tony.

Tony secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Pepper's attention shift.

Kino, seeing someone already drinking from their cup of youth, said:

"Everyone, youth isn't something to drink; please apply it to your faces, or if you're unsure, apply it to your palms."

Logan awkwardly put down his cup.

Sterko and Qin, who were standing nearby, couldn't help but laugh.

The audience members also began applying the product, some cautiously applying it to their hands, while only a few were more daring enough to apply it to their faces.

A small cupful is just enough to cover one's face or both hands.

Time passed slowly, and when the lecture was paused, the reporters in the audience began to organize their notes for the day.

It's packed with valuable information, from miraculous Healing Potion and Limb Regeneration Potion to a mysterious youth-enhancing liquid; each achievement is enough to make headlines worldwide.

"My face!"

A gasp suddenly erupted from the audience.

A young female journalist, believing in Dr. Banner's creation that could replicate the Rebirth Potion, boldly applied it to her face.

She held up the mirror, looking at her face in disbelief. The dark circles under her eyes from working late into the night had faded, and her skin had become supple and hydrated.

"My hands too."

"It works so quickly; this is an effect that no other cosmetic product can achieve."

A gasp of surprise rippled through the crowd as everyone looked at the areas where they had applied "youth" to their faces, their expressions a mixture of astonishment and disbelief.

The middle-aged woman in the crowd felt the piercing gazes around her and put the bottle in her hand into her bosom.

"Logan, Scott, give me yours, I'll pay for them."

Qin said eagerly, her eyes fixed on the youth in her companion's hands.

Professor X smiled helplessly and handed over the unused portion.

Tony suddenly remembered something, opened the jar, saw the milky white liquid inside, and then looked at the youthful energy that had just faded to a watery state.

"Kino, how much did you dilute this?"

"This shows how much Kino values us."

Pepper snatched it away and carefully held it in her arms.

"This is youth. Next, Dr. Banner will explain the effects of youth." After saying this, Kino was about to leave when a reporter in the audience stood up.

"Mr. Demon King, I'd like to ask you another question."

"Please speak."

"What are your thoughts on Mutants?"

This guy also wants to stir up trouble; this is the unanimous thought of the surrounding reporters, who all wear mocking expressions, waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

Professor X's eyes were deep as he murmured, "Raven..."

Kino pondered.

The audience below the stage held their breath, waiting intently for his answer.

"My opinion is that it's very useful and very wasteful!"

"Useful, or wasteful?"

The female reporter was somewhat surprised; she had heard many comments and opinions about Mutants, such as "monster," "threat," and "outcast."

"Useful and wasteful"—this is the first time I've ever heard of such a thing.
