"Boss, the students and teachers from Empire State University will be visiting Osborn Industries. Is there anything we need to pay attention to?"
Originally, Norman didn't care about such trivial matters. But upon hearing that Aaron himself had approved this, he immediately took it to heart and supervised the entire process, striving for no mistakes.
He even turned down several invitations from dignitaries for this.
In the future, he would only be dedicated to Aaron.
Aaron's business was his business, everything else had to step aside.
Even the newborn project was not as important as a single word from Aaron.
Aaron nodded. "As long as you don't let them enter the most important departments, there will be no problem."
Norman nodded, understanding. His regard for this matter increased by several points.
"Oh, and I heard there's a very talented person among the students visiting from Empire State University. Pay close attention to them. I'm still short a few secretaries here."
Norman suddenly understood. "Boss, I understand. I'll go screen them immediately."
Hill pursed her lips, then buried herself in work.
Aaron nodded in satisfaction. Dealing with smart people was always easy.
"There's one more thing."
"Find me a man named Ian Quinn. He should have established Quinn Worldwide. I need to know his information."
Although Aaron could find him himself, there was no reason not to use his subordinates.
If he did everything himself, what would he need subordinates for?
Norman kept this matter in mind.
Just hearing the name, he knew it was a man, and without thinking, he knew he was a nobody.
First, find the female secretary, then find Ian Quinn, and finally deal with the newborn problem.
Silently arranging the order in his mind, Norman slowly retreated.
Aaron left the office and went to the storage room.
After melting down various plants and animals collected by Osborn Industries and enriching the Primordial Furnace database, he turned to the biology department.
He suddenly remembered that he hadn't had a full physical examination in a long time. It just so happened that a dedicated private health Doctor had recently joined.
Aaron thought he would go to Wu Jiaqi first, for a thorough examination from the inside out. It would be best to have repeated in-depth examinations to ensure no omissions.
Aaron also had something to take care of. He was feeling a bit too much heat today and needed a way to physically cool down.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
S.H.I.E.L.D. New York Headquarters.
"Ghost, are you sure you were the only one who survived in your room at that time?"
Looking at the woman in front of him, Fury frowned.
Ava said uncertainly, "I asked Mr. Bill, and there shouldn't have been a fourth person at the scene."
Fury felt uneasy after hearing this.
He motioned for Ava to come forward. "Look at this person, are his abilities the same as yours?"
Fury pointed at Aaron in the video.
Ava's eyes widened as she watched Aaron suddenly dematerialize and smoothly enter the sealed container. She looked closely again and again.
"His ability... is the same as mine."
"This is quantum phasing ability."
"Who is he?"
Ava looked at Fury excitedly.
She didn't care about Zero matter. She only cared that Aaron could perfectly control quantum phasing ability without any equipment and with no side effects.
"He is Aaron."
Fury said casually, then fell into thought, completely oblivious to the light in Ava's eyes.
—
Biology Experiment Department.
Helen, Wu Jiaqi, and Skye were deep in thought, surrounding a plant cultivation box.
Helen murmured to herself, "Why is this happening?"
"This alien plant has no biochemical properties. It's like..."
"It's like a pure energy body." Aaron's voice sounded from outside.
The three of them looked up simultaneously, their expressions varying.
Helen's face showed surprise and Wu Jiaqi was a little excited.
As for Skye, she was a little scared. Was it time to pay her debts again?
Recalling Aaron's wild movements, she was both scared and anticipating.
However, thinking that there were three of them now, Skye felt confident.
"Yes, it's an energy body. Its genes are simply beyond what current technology can understand, as if it's an existence on another level."
Helen spoke very quickly, her eyebrows raised, "If we can research it, then the Human Race might usher in another Cambrian explosion."
"I need more..."
Helen's voice gradually faded.
She saw another, even more brilliant flower appear in Aaron's hand.
"This is..."
She was a little confused.
"Want to study it?"
Aaron's lips curved into a smile. "This flower is even more perfect, even more powerful than the one you are studying."
"It contains the path to becoming a god. It is right here, right before your eyes."
Helen's gaze was fixed on the dazzling plant, moving as Aaron's hand moved. She subconsciously nodded.
Aaron smiled, then looked at Wu Jiaqi. "Doctor, I feel very hot today."
Norman had clearly done his work in advance. Wu Jiaqi instantly understood, chuckling. "I have a throat-cooling method and an internal-cooling method here. Which one would you like to try?"
As she spoke, Wu Jiaqi walked over. She gently touched Aaron, her mouth slightly open.
He was indeed very hot.
Her expression instantly became serious as she said, "You need immediate treatment. I suggest combining both methods."
Skye rolled her eyes, watching Wu Jiaqi, who, regardless of the setting, worked diligently.
What could she do? She could only step forward to lend a hand.
Wearing her white coat, she perfectly served as an assistant nurse.
After three hours of busy work.
Wu Jiaqi swallowed steaming milk to quench her thirst and wiped the sweat from her forehead, her face full of fatigue. Her cheeks were flushed from overwork.
She asked, "Are you feeling better now?"
Aaron replied, "Doctor Wu is indeed a miracle worker."
The heat Aaron felt temporarily subsided.
He sat up and said, "You have excellent technique, so I've decided to give you your onboarding benefits early."
Wu Jiaqi was about to refuse. She was a Doctor, wasn't it her duty to treat patients?
But then...
"Oh my goodness, my body..."
Wu Jiaqi felt itchy all over.
The accidental tear during the procedure also healed quickly. At the same time, she felt her body was filled with strength.
All fatigue was swept away.
Not just Wu Jiaqi, Helen also noticed the abnormality.
Their skin became even whiter, and their bodies returned to their peak condition.
But Skye's situation was a little special. While gaining the same power, a peculiar force attached to her, turning her to stone.
"What happened to Skye?" Helen looked at the stone sculpture in surprise.
"Wait a moment."
Aaron stopped the two from approaching.
He could feel an astonishing change occurring within Skye's body beneath the petrification.
Not long after, a peculiar shockwave burst from within, suddenly shattering the stone sculpture. Skye emerged from the petrified state, completely unharmed.
She looked at her hands in confusion. She seemed to have just...
"That's Quake, your genetic ability." Aaron explained.
He walked to Skye's side, pulled out a strand of hair, and melted it.
The next moment.
The familiar stream of light appeared.
[Quake: You can freely create shockwaves, or use them to cause earthquakes, and are immune to any effects caused by vibrations.]
"Genetic ability?"
Skye was even more confused. "Am I a Mutant?"
Aaron shook his head.
He raised his hand towards a glass bottle in the distance, and with a thought, an invisible force accurately shot towards the target, shattering the entire glass bottle with a crack.
"You are not a Mutant, you are an Inhuman, another being with special genetic abilities."
Skye was attracted by Aaron's actions, and after a moment of hesitation, she tried to aim at a glass bottle in the distance.
As her mind focused, the shockwave instantly traveled over ten meters, and almost simultaneously, a continuous series of explosions erupted in front.
All the glass bottles on one wall were shattered.
Skye immediately withdrew her hand, wanting to cry.
It was over. She owed even more, including some valuable experimental equipment, worth at least several million dollars.
It seemed she would have to negotiate a few more deals worth hundreds of millions.
