The Tycoon's Odyssey

Chapter 208: 208:Advanced Superhuman Serum

A few days later…

In Newland, the atmosphere buzzed with excitement.

Biotechnologists and scientists alike, gathered in a state-of-the-art lab, practically bursting with joy as they examined the vials containing the Superhuman Serum.

Their hands trembled with anticipation as they prepared themselves to unlock the secrets hidden within the sleek, glassy containers. The breakthrough had been a long time coming, and they were eager to see the results.

"This is it! We finally have access to the Superhuman Serum models we've been working towards for years!" exclaimed Dr. Harris, his voice trembling with excitement.

"I can hardly believe it. The potential applications of this serum could revolutionize everything," replied Dr. Liu, her eyes wide as she examined the vials closely.

Another scientist, Dr. Patel, chimed in, "We need to ensure that every detail of the serum's effects is meticulously documented. The results could be groundbreaking, but we must account for all possible side effects and interactions."

Following that, they started working toward developing the new prototype with the data Aurora had collected along with Mac's team.

At the same time, Evan studied the data list and almost choked in disbelief as he read through it.

_____

[Model 1]

The initial version of the serum, Model 1, enhances physical strength, endurance, and agility. Subjects experience increased muscle mass, faster reflexes, and improved resilience to fatigue.

Effects: The subjects gain significant physical prowess and stamina, but often suffer from severe muscle strain, joint pain, and heightened sensitivity to environmental stressors such as extreme temperatures or high altitudes. Long-term use may result in chronic fatigue and potentially damage the connective tissues and the central nervous system.

[Model 1.5]

An upgraded version of Model 1, Model 1.5 offers enhanced strength and endurance while mitigating some of the original serum's side effects. It boosts cognitive functions and reflexes to a higher degree, facilitating more precise physical actions.

Effects: Provides better control and recovery compared to Model 1, but the subjects may still experience occasional muscle cramps, joint discomfort, and some cognitive disorientation. Side effects are reduced but may face difficulty with maintaining focus under stress and minor hormonal imbalances.

[Model 2]

Model 2 incorporates advanced genetic modifications for superior physical and mental enhancements, including heightened sensory perception. It is designed for more complex and demanding situations. Makes a human 5-7 times stronger than before.

Effects: Offers comprehensive enhancements with minimal side effects. Subjects experience extraordinary strength, agility, and cognitive function, with rare occurrences of sensory overload or heightened sensitivity. Some may experience mild disruptions in their sleep patterns and occasional hormonal fluctuations may also occur. There is a risk of organ failure and formation of internal clouding.

[Model 3]

The most advanced version, Model 3, combines elements from previous models with cutting-edge bioengineering. It provides peak physical performance, exceptional sensory perception, and rapid healing, making a human 10 times stronger.

Effects: Delivers near-superhuman capabilities with minimal side effects. Subjects display superior strength, agility, and cognitive function, with very low risks of adverse effects. Rare side effects might include temporary disorientation, minor immune system disturbances, or occasional heightened stress responses in extreme situations.

Important Note: Major side effects of all these models might include turning male impotent. Both genders might also turn infertile.

Beads of sweat formed on Evan's forehead as he absorbed this.

[Sir, in that case, what if Mrs. Suri…]

Aurora didn't say any further, but Evan understood what she meant. He even wondered if Singh had used Suri as an experiment, resulting in her undergoing severe torture.

"If she really had the serum and suffered the negative effects, it's no wonder she resents her family. However, we can't be sure. And just because of that, I won't be ditching her. Even with so many resources at hand, if I can't cure such a small thing then I should just drown myself in a pinch of water," Evan snorted, pitying Suri.

His comment caused a certain someone to snitch during her shoot, leading to a big ongoing scene being cut.

Shaking off those thoughts, he dove further into the reports.

Indra has successfully secured Models 1 and 1.5. They were diligent in working on the development of Model 2, implementing stringent security measures to refine its advanced features while minimizing associated risks.

As the technology evolved, the serum models' side effects diminished. Model 3 represented the pinnacle of enhancement technology, with minimal impact on users' well-being.

Just as the scientists reveled their achievement, Aurora's calm and authoritative voice cut through the excitement. [I am loading the data I have gathered from the base.]

The room fell silent as Aurora continued.

[From the base, we have accumulated comprehensive data on the serum's applications and side effects. Model 1 shows substantial strength improvements but comes with notable muscle strain and environmental sensitivity. Model 1.5 improves on this with better control and fewer side effects.

Model 2 offers advanced enhancements with minimal issues, while Model 3 represents the highest level of enhancement with very low risks of adverse effects.]

[Detailed analysis will follow as we proceed with further tests. I need you to experiment and come up with a perfect solution to negate these effects as soon as possible.]

The biotechnologists exchanged impressed glances, their anticipation growing as they prepared to delve deeper into the implications of their groundbreaking work.

Upon hearing Aurora's words, Evan smiled and said, "But does it even matter now?"

[Quest]

[Search and discover the Superhuman Serum in use.]

[Rewards: Advanced Superhuman Serum.]

[You have completed the quest.]

A greenish vial materialized in the air, which Evan grabbed and set it aside.

Along with it came a trove of data, which he transferred to Aurora for use, through the VR Gear.

Now that he had achieved a major step, he decided to relax a bit and look forward to global happenings, and mostly on the local news.

His attention shifted to the streams of global news headlines flashing across his monitors. Each one underscored the growing intensity of the global political landscape, with the major focus being on Indra's upcoming elections, where Indra was tightening its grip on power.

Aurora stood beside him, scanning through data on her terminal.

Her voice was steady as she relayed the latest updates. [The Rajputs are advancing their plans aggressively. They're hoarding shares in bulk across several major companies—Metube, Visionbook, The X, and Mometgram. There's a surge of activity around stocks related to PSUs, Defence, and banking.

The government has promised to focus on these sectors, and many leaders are pushing the same message in their political rallies.]

She continued, [People are being encouraged to buy these stocks before the 4th. Predictions show significant price increases afterwards.]

Evan listened, his expression a mix of skepticism and irritation. "So, the SEBs are playing the hypocrites. They go after financial influencers, but they turn a blind eye when these bastards are spreading misinformation and manipulating the market."

Aurora responded, her tone calm but with an edge of resignation. [You're right, Sir. All of them have their hands tied. Even the chairman has placed her bets and is waiting for the outcome.]

Evan snorted, his frustration evident. "The 4th of June is shaping up to be quite the spectacle."

He rubbed his forehead, deep in thought. "What about the VR game we're working on?"

Aurora shifted her focus to the game's development status.

[The game is progressing well. The core development is straightforward; we're just refining the storylines. Currently, it's undergoing multiple simulations and should be completed soon.]

Evan nodded thoughtfully, his mind racing as he considered the implications of the political maneuvering, and market manipulation, as well as the potential impact of the VR game. His gaze returned to the screens, contemplating the interconnected web of events that were rapidly unfolding.

He turned to Aurora, who was busy updating the strategic plans on her terminal.

"Aurora, it's clear that the upcoming events are going to be pivotal. We need to enhance our capabilities, especially in stealth operations. Additionally, launching a few satellites could give us the upper hand."

Aurora glanced up from her screen, her expression focused. [Understood. I'll coordinate with the team to start on both fronts immediately.]

Evan's gaze was sharp, a flicker of resolve in his eyes. "We also need to push forward with advancements in wireless electricity and Wi-Fi signals. We already have the power infrastructure in place, and it's time we made a significant impact."

Aurora nodded, already beginning to formulate the necessary steps. [I'll get started on that as well.]

Evan leaned back, a sense of determination settling over him. "We're on the brink of stepping into the limelight. Let's ensure that we're ready to seize it when the time comes."

His immediate goal was to launch their own satellite—a task that seemed less daunting as long as they stayed under the radar.
