A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

"Lord Mandarin?"

Carl interrupted, looking at Luke: "The embodiment of both civil and military affairs?"

Looking at Karl's shocked expression, Luke also imagined the expression on Alexander's face on the other end of the phone and nodded: "Yes, he is the embodiment of both literature and martial arts."

Carl was very surprised.

"You killed the Mandarin?"

"Yes."

"how come."

Karl frowned and said, "Apart from when he was with the Ten Rings Gang, Wenwu's clone always carries with him those ten special rings that Wenwu obtained from who-knows-where, no matter where he goes."

Luke was slightly taken aback, and felt a little curious after hearing Karl's words.

"Don't you know where those rings came from?"

"What's wrong."

"The power of those rings was extracted from mutants. I thought you knew that."

"..."

Carl shook his head, indicating that he knew nothing about the matter. Then, after regaining his senses, he said to Lu Ke, "Then you should worry about Wenwu coming to find you."

Whether it's the Tangren Gang or Chen Huaxing.

To both civil and military officials, they were nothing more than tools.

Wenwu might regret the loss of the tools, but he wouldn't necessarily seek revenge for them.

But the Mandarins are different.

Because the Mandarin is the embodiment of both civil and military affairs.

Luke smiled, then pointed to the test tube emitting blue mist in Karl's right hand: "I know, so I hope to succeed on the first try."

Once the gene lock is restarted.

He can get the civil and military officials to start the banquet that very night.

"We should be able to succeed in one fell swoop."

"The problem shouldn't be too big."

Carl put the test tube in his right hand aside: "I've demonstrated it in my mind several times these past few days. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be successful on the first try."

"That's good."

Luke nodded, and then, to avoid putting too much pressure on Karl, he said with a smile, "It's okay if it doesn't work the first time. Anyway, I bought the raw materials based on a three-fault tolerance probability, and there's enough CPH4 here."

Three chances; if you're lucky, that's three bottles of gene serum.

bad luck.

Even a bottle of gene serum will do.

Luke said he could accept it completely.

After he finished speaking, he fell silent to avoid disturbing Karl.

Karl also refocused his attention on the current experiment and continued to systematically prepare what would be the world's first gene serum.

Luke then walked out of the laboratory, took off his lab coat, took out his phone, and dialed Rachel.

"Hey."

"never mind?"

"Ah."

Standing at her front door, Rachel watched the federal agents who had come to keep watch that morning leave, then turned her gaze back into the house and asked, "Are you hurt?"

Lu Ke shook his head.

"Don't worry, you're not hurt."

"I won't feel at ease until I see you."

Rachel walked over to the bar, took a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, and while pouring herself a glass of wine, she softly asked, "So, when are you coming back? Let's celebrate tonight?"

Luke glanced at the time on his wristwatch, then looked up at Carl in the laboratory.

It's already four o'clock in the afternoon.

If you want to prepare a tube of gene serum from scratch, it would conservatively take at least ten hours.

and so……

Luke mentally estimated the time and said apologetically to Rachel on the other end of the phone, "I probably won't be able to go back tonight. There are still some things I haven't finished taking care of here."

Rachel paused slightly in her movement as she held up her wine glass.

After Lu Ke finished speaking, he heard heavier breathing coming from the other end of the phone: "But I assure you, I am absolutely not injured, and I should be home by noon tomorrow."

Rachel was still somewhat skeptical.

"Really?"

"I swear."

"……All right."

Rachel nodded and said softly, "Then I'll wait for you at home."

"it is good."

Luke agreed, then spoke with Rachel on the phone for a while before hanging up. He put his phone back in his pocket, put his hands in his pockets, and while watching Karl busily working in the lab, he thought about what would happen after activating the gene serum.

Once he restarts the gene lock, the next step is to project his inner universe.

Lu Ke originally planned to wait until he restarted the gene lock before finding a place to project his inner universe over.

However, the problem of how to put his little universe into place has now been solved.

The starry sky of Haier's Underworld is enough to contain his microcosm.

Hela also agreed to let his little universe move in.

But this raises another question.

Actually, projecting his own universe into the underworld of Haier was not a good idea.

Both Hela and the Underworld were suppressed by Odin and were in a sealed state.

Perhaps, once his inner universe blossoms in the underworld of Hale, Odin will notice something amiss and turn his attention to him.

Although Odin has now begun to enter his own "Ragnarok".

But God is God.

There's a saying that goes, "Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse."

Even if Luke successfully unlocks his genetic potential, in Odin's eyes, it would be nothing more than a slap or two.

So this is not a good idea.

but……

This is the only solution right now.

Lu Ke could sense that his connection with the Main God Space was gradually weakening after his soul was stuffed into the Underworld of Haier by the Great Sphere of Light.

And the original projection point of his microcosm was in the God Realm.

Currently, his soul is still connected to the Main God Space, so he has a way to move his entire microcosm here.

But what if his soul loses its connection with the main divine space?

that……

Hey!

God, are you planning to embezzle my inheritance?

Not pretending anymore?

They might as well just lay their cards on the table and choose not to be human.

Lu Ke took a deep breath. In order to avoid the Main God stealing his universe after he completely lost his connection with the Main God Space, and Lu Ke, who did not want to start cultivating from scratch, had to project his universe over before that.

This way.

That inhuman, giant ball of light's wishful thinking has completely failed.

Luke's eyes flickered.

Karl, who was in the laboratory, also had a glint in his eye.

But Karl's eyes gleamed with excitement.

After obtaining a sufficient amount of CPH4, he kept busy in the laboratory.

They were busy from day to night.

drip.

Luke, who had been waiting with Carl in the warehouse, turned his head to look at the open warehouse gate, honked twice at the vehicles that drove in, and then looked away.

Jack took a box of pizza, a bottle of bourbon, and a wine glass from the car, placed them on the table next to him, and then walked over to Luke's side, looking at Carl in the laboratory together.

"Are you done yet?"

"almost."

Lu Ke looked at the vial of gene serum on the lab table, which was almost identical to the one in his memory, and then walked over to the chair behind him: "Alright, don't bother Karl, let's eat first."

Jack nodded and walked with Luke to the table where the pizzas were placed.

The two of them ate pizza and drank bourbon.

Carl, on the other hand, continued to concentrate intently on the work at hand in the laboratory.

After drinking two bourbons and finishing three slices of pizza, Luke saw Karl turning on the centrifuge, got up from his chair, and walked toward the laboratory.

Seeing this, Jack quickly dropped his pizza and followed.
