Otherwise, a mere time corridor casually constructed by the other party would be enough to cause someone to lose their mind and collapse mentally.
As for protection at the soul level, with the current Telekinesis, it can at least barely hold out to some extent.
Of course, Chen Xiao could also launch a surprise attack from a distance, severely injuring or even killing Ancient One on the spot.
The Reality Stone is currently lying dormant within a spatial fold.
It wasn't until the gap between the end of the Avengers and the start of the Age of Ultron that Thor's girlfriend Jane was accidentally inhaled and brought out with her.
This gem is undoubtedly the easiest to obtain among the six.
However, there is a crucial limitation: before Jane went to Britain, the spatial nodes of that abandoned church remained calm and unchanged; the entrance would only appear when a specific time node was reached.
Therefore, if Chen Xiao wants to take the Reality Stone ahead of time, he must first master high-precision spatial positioning capabilities and have a deep understanding of spatial structure.
Therefore, his next focus is to isolate and analyze the core X-Factor that drives these two abilities from the genes of Mutants with spacetime abilities.
As for the last one, the Space Stone...
The strange phenomenon over Pochut City shocked the entire city, but after the initial shock, things calmed down.
After all, the previous golden explosion, apart from shattering a few windows, did not injure anyone or trigger secondary disasters such as earthquakes or storms.
In addition, the local television station quickly invited "experts" to explain with certainty that it was due to the high concentration of water vapor in the upper atmosphere under specific meteorological conditions, which condensed into a large number of tiny ice crystals when they encountered low temperatures; when sunlight passed through the ice crystals, it underwent multiple refractions, and under the interference of some unknown force field, a rare resonance burst phenomenon was formed.
This celestial phenomenon is extremely rare, occurring only once every thousand years. Therefore, the Pochut City should feel fortunate today, as they have witnessed a once-in-a-millennium spectacle.
Whether the public believes this or not is another matter, but those "experts" themselves are absolutely convinced of it.
After all, no one can actually fly up there to conduct on-site surveys.
"Honey! This seems to be the first time we've gone on a date together!"
On the bustling commercial street, Yidileisi skipped ahead, her steps light and quick, her eyes crinkling with a smile, her beautiful face radiant with joy, attracting the attention of many passersby.
Especially her long, bright red hair that fluttered in the wind, and the two small, delicate red horn-like "accessories" on her forehead, gave her a lively yet mysterious allure.
Behind her, Chen Xiao stood calmly, nodding slightly with a smile on his lips, "Strictly speaking, this is our first time strolling around since arriving in this city."
This was the second time he had taken to the streets since he transmigrated to this world. The first time was when he went to Westchester with Clarice and the others.
The constant sense of urgency and unease weighing on his mind kept him from relaxing, and he devoted all his energy to improving his strength.
Even after arriving in Pochutla, they hardly stopped moving.
Only now, with his punching power approaching the million-ton level and substantial breakthroughs in X-Gene research, has he finally found some free time to slow down and relax.
As for the "date" that Yidileisi mentioned, Chen Xiao didn't take it seriously; as long as she was happy, that was enough.
Being admired by such a beautiful and charming young woman, as a normal man, he would naturally feel pleased. After all, who doesn't have a little vanity in their nature?
The envious glances from the men around him made him feel even more comfortable.
In his past life, he was just a 9-to-5 office worker, only able to watch enviously from behind a screen as rich kids drove around in luxury cars with beautiful women.
Or they might stroll around places like foreign trade and foreign language universities or art colleges, where girls congregate, and when they come out, one or two of the legendary "campus beauties" are already sitting in the car.
Those carefree and unrestrained days are so enviable!
As a man, Chen Xiao had also fantasized about a life of luxury, surrounded by beautiful women, driving luxury cars, and choosing his concubines like a princess every day...
Then, I was woken up by a colleague tapping me on the shoulder.
Now, with his terrifying eyesight, if he really looked closely, all the beautiful women were nothing more than shells covered in rough flesh and crawling with micro-parasites.
Therefore, in order to retain more of the joy of everyday life, he usually suppresses his senses, including his eyesight, to the level of an ordinary person.
"Honey! Look, isn't this hat beautiful?"
The two entered a boutique, Yidileisi picked up a red straw sun hat adorned with flowers, perched it on her head, and tilted her head, waiting for his comments.
Chen Xiao nodded. "It suits you well, and makes you look very energetic."
Upon hearing this, her eyes immediately lit up, and her smile became even brighter.
"Honey! Where are these earrings?"
"It's not quite right; the style is too soft and clashes with your cool and edgy vibe. How about trying this one?"
Standing in front of the jewelry counter, he pointed to a pair of platinum and diamond-encrusted drop earrings.
"OK!"
The two strolled leisurely through the bustling streets, just like a real couple.
Meanwhile, inside the library of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, a dark-haired girl was quietly turning the pages of a book.
Not far away, the freckled girl peeked out and called out, " Clarice! Ms. Ororo wants to see you in her office."
She looked up, slightly puzzled. " Kara, what did the teacher want to see me about?"
I don't know either.
"Okay, I understand."
The black-haired girl closed the book, stood up and put it back in its place. She then gently made a gesture with her hands in front of her chest, and a purple light portal as tall as a person suddenly opened.
On the other side of the portal was Ororo's office. She sat behind her desk, head down, reviewing documents.
Clarice stepped into the portal of light and instantly stood before her teacher, a rather mystical scene.
Ororo looked up and saw her, a slight smile playing on her lips, " Clarice, your Spatial Teleportation is getting more and more stable."
The girl shook her head, her voice soft. "Not yet. Right now, we can only pinpoint the coordinates within the school grounds."
"That's already excellent."
She paused, then turned to the three blonde girls sitting quietly on the sofa in the corner of the office. "Come, let's get acquainted. This is Esme, Sophie, and Phoebe. They just arrived recently."
Then she looked at Clarice, "This is Clarice, about your age, her ability is spatial teleportation."
"I'm busy with other things, so she'll show you around the campus later."
"We're almost out of money!"
Inside the manor, Chen Xiao had barely settled down when the old butler hurried forward and reported in a low voice, "The company's accounts are barely enough to cover its cash flow needs."
Chen Xiao looked at the old butler, his brows furrowing slightly. "Hasn't it been quite prosperous for the gang lately with Yidileisi leading the team?"
Although he was engrossed in his experiments, he never lost track of what was happening outside. The Bloody Hand Society's territory expanded several times over in just a few months.
Our influence now extends to Pochut City and nine surrounding cities; our core fighting force exceeds two thousand, and our peripheral members number over five thousand.
With a size comparable to this, it can be considered a top gang in the entire Mexico, and all forces are keeping a close eye on it.
However, apart from Pochut City, most of the other cities only occupied a small area, mainly expanding their flour business there, and incidentally opening some underground casinos and entertainment venues.
At this rate, even if he doesn't make a fortune every day, he's guaranteed to net tens of millions of US dollars every month. And that's after deducting all expenses; that's the money that actually ends up in Chen Xiao's pocket.
After all, with thousands of employees to pay salaries, the monthly cost of personnel alone is tens of millions; plus the revenue sharing with several partner families, the expenses are considerable.
On the surface, the Woside Group is involved in finance, real estate, banking and other fields, but its book profits are mediocre, with monthly net profit of only a few million US dollars.
But now, with monthly cash flow easily exceeding hundreds of millions of US dollars, how can they claim to be poor?
"Young Master, the problem is that the materials you ordered are too expensive."
The old butler shook his head with a wry smile, "Take Kuro Pharmaceutical Company ' pure ionized heavy oxygen source solution, for example; one thousand milliliters costs seven hundred thousand US dollars. And..."
As he listed them off one by one, Yidileisi, who was playing with the Xiaodong Xiaoxi looked completely relaxed, opened her mouth wider and wider.
It turns out that this month, Chen Xiao spent over 100 million US dollars on experimental consumables, not only using up all of his recent income, but also nearly depleting the family's accumulated working capital.
"Darling! Are you swallowing gold?"
"... Is it really that expensive?" Chen Xiao was also taken aback.
For the bio-genetic modification and material testing he conducted, most of the raw materials could be purchased directly from the market, so he simply had his housekeeper place the orders.
For example, the pure ion-rich oxygen source liquid is a key component in the synthesis of biomimetic water, extracted from a certain deep-sea organism.
With dozens of high-frequency tests every night, the usage was naturally staggering.
Although he understood the principles behind most materials and could synthesize them himself;
However, if every trace element and every type of active substance were to be developed from scratch, it would take at least several months just to purify a sufficient amount of the Telekinesis X-Factor.
Indeed, scientific research is the most expensive activity.
Trask Industries spent tens of billions of dollars, and in the end, all they could create was the Sentry to deal with ordinary Mutants.
After a moment's thought, Chen Xiao said, "I'll organize two sets of biotechnology data for you when I have some free time later."
"You've arranged for the group's pharmaceutical companies to start R&D and mass production, which should alleviate the financial pressure in the short term."
Although he focused on experiments during this period, he also accumulated a considerable amount of results.
One of them uses the synergistic effect of more than ten biological enzymes to synthesize a new type of insulin, which can significantly lower blood sugar. It does not cure the root cause of diabetes, but its efficacy is several times that of mainstream products on the market.
The other ingredient is a potent anti-aging cell ingredient that is safe and has no side effects.
If a high-end skincare brand is established based on this, the profit margin is extremely high. The easiest money to make in the world has always been medicine and women's money.
In fact, he has more than a dozen copies of this kind of unexpectedly generated technology, but they are useless to him.
After discussing the money, Chen Xiao casually asked, "By the way, have there been any unusual developments recently, either locally or internationally?"
He had already given instructions on this matter, and the old butler immediately replied, "Young master, there are indeed a few important matters."
"More than two weeks ago, Tony, America of Stark Industries, publicly announced that the company would completely cease arms sales."
He then revealed his identity as Iron Man and showcased a brand-new individual combat armor: robustly protected, capable of autonomous flight, and heavily armed.
