Her Again
It's Mrs. Karnstein again... Liu Chang'an has been hearing this name frequently lately.
"This must be a miraculous potion obtained by a mysterious creature in conjunction with modern science. Modern science is indeed quite remarkable." Liu Chang'an said admiringly. He himself had also conducted experiments in this area, but without a doubt, he had not made any real progress by working alone. During his time as Professor Liu, he had published some papers and achieved some research results, but his achievements were ultimately limited. The method he had determined to improve the physical condition of ordinary people still required him to make some effort and pay a price, while the other party could achieve the same result with just one potion.
Of course, the effect that Liu Chang'an painstakingly achieved in improving the physical fitness of ordinary people far surpassed the effect of simply taking a little medicine.
As for Mrs. Karnstein, Liu Chang'an had already learned some information from Li Hongfang and Pu Shougeng. She had her own power and team, and was probably quite wealthy. It should be known that in modern scientific research, especially in the field of life and medicine, large conglomerates would not be stingy with their investments. Only with investments of tens or hundreds of billions of dollars could breakthroughs and results that would satisfy those investors be achieved.
This Mrs. Karnstein, who shares a name with the famous vampire, could she actually be a vampire?
In Liu Chang'an's view, it is unlikely that the gods and ghosts in myths and legends with the power to reach the heavens and the earth could exist. The vampires of the prince and duke level who often appeared in online novels before 2010 and also possessed the power to reach the heavens and the earth could not possibly have actually possessed such power. As for the Blood Ancestor who fought against Buddha, Bodhisattva, and the Three Pure Ones, that is even more absurd.
However, vampires may not be entirely nonexistent. It's not entirely absurd that species in the history of biological evolution could seize the life force and blood of other creatures to gain Longevity and stronger physiques... The little girl from the Shangguan Family is an example, although she seems to have relied on that magical coffin.
Besides the Shangguan Family's young girl and her coffin, what interests Liu Chang'an most right now is this Mrs. Karnstein.
She might be an ordinary person with immense resources and influence, attempting to gain superhuman life and abilities, or perhaps she is a vampire, trying to use her special abilities to acquire vast resources and influence, extending her influence beyond her sphere of influence.
Liu Chang'an wouldn't judge others by his own standards. His peaceful and tranquil Longevity, stemming from his curiosity about the future, might not be the norm. If there were other Longevity like vampires, how would they face the world? Liu Chang'an couldn't be sure.
However, judging from Mrs. Karnstein's current actions, she seems to be on a different path from Liu Chang'an.
People with different paths cannot work together, and sometimes they even have to fight. Liu Chang'an was not mentally prepared for this, because when facing many things, he always dealt with them as they came, and he did not have any excitement, fear, anticipation, or heavy emotions that needed to be calmed down.
"Do you know anything more about Mrs. Karnstein?" Liu Chang'an asked, pinching Pu Shougeng's broken arm.
He wasn't torturing Pu Shougeng; on the contrary, he was worried that the pain would affect Pu Shougeng's thinking, so he was using special techniques to relieve Pu Shougeng's pain.
Of course, his arm was still ruined, which was unavoidable. Who told Pu Shougeng to fly into a rage right from the start? If Pu Shougeng had been prepared to let Liu Chang'an cut him open from the beginning, he wouldn't have suffered so much. Liu Chang'an would have helped him suture and repair the wound properly instead of roughly digging a small hole in his abdomen.
"I don't know much about her. I only know that she is very powerful, controlling many large conglomerates, companies, and top research institutions. She also has extensive influence in the governments of some countries." Pu Shougeng sized up the "Ye Chenyu" in front of him. This person was extremely powerful, but he seemed to have just come from some isolated world. His vision and level of power did not match. He didn't even know Mrs. Karnstein.
He claimed to be the fifth strongest in the world. At first, Pu Shougeng thought he was just talking nonsense. But now that he understood Ye Chenyu's extraordinary strength, Pu Shougeng felt that Ye Chenyu's power far surpassed that of Liu Chang'an, who had defeated him that day.
When facing Liu Chang'an, Pu Shougeng fought at least many rounds. Although Liu Chang'an seemed to be handling the situation with ease, it took a long time for him to finally defeat Pu Shougeng. However, the "Ye Chenyu" in front of him won in one strike, Pu Shougeng had no chance of winning.
How could such a person be unknown? How could even Mrs. Karnstein not know of such a person? If such a person claims to be the fifth best in the world, then who are the first, second, third, and fourth?
Pu Shougeng always felt that he had to connect the number five with some key information.
"I want to see her. Can you help me contact her?" Liu Chang'an looked at Pu Shougeng's bright eyes with great anticipation.
"I have no choice. Even her subordinates are many levels above her. I only know what she wants from me when her subordinates come to me. Her subordinates won't let me contact them first," Pu Shougeng said unwillingly. "To her, I'm not even qualified to be a pawn in her sphere of influence."
"That kind of person is so annoying, right?" Liu Chang'an nodded in agreement. "This kind of person should be baptized by the tide of proletarian revolution and brought down from her self-righteous high and mighty position."
"She's a foreigner, how could she fall for our nonsense? In the eyes of these foreigners, class is what must be firmly established." Pu Shougeng endured the pain and kept up with the nonsense of the "Ye Chenyu" in front of him. Although his massage had made Pu Shougeng feel much better, it was impossible to eliminate all the pain just like that. Pu Shougeng was also a little worried that this person might be unpredictable, so he had no choice but to go along with what he said.
"It seems I have no choice but to let her come to me." Liu Chang'an thought to himself. This Mrs. Karnstein had actually been eyeing him, but she hadn't shown herself and had been working from afar behind the scenes.
Liu Chang'an wanted to meet her in person and see her for himself. As for her subordinates, how powerful she was, and what her goals were, Liu Chang'an had absolutely no interest in these things.
But there was no clue how to find this lady; it seemed much more difficult than going to the palace to see the emperor and his beautiful concubines.
"You could try contacting Mrs. Karnstein through the Third Mistress." Pu Shougeng's mind raced, and he suddenly realized a horrifying possibility.
Sorry, chapters 178 and 179 were published in the wrong order... Please read chapter 178 first, then chapter 179. There shouldn't be any other problems.
