Sorry, you scumbag woman, you can do whatever you want.

"You only want yourself and those around you to live forever, is that right?" the woman asked earnestly.

However, the others accompanying him were not so calm. They showed subtle resistance to the fact that Möbius only intended to use the immortality technology himself, and began to try to force Möbius to hand over the technology to the government.

“This technology should be regulated,” someone said. “I think it must be handed over to the government to confirm its safety before we can consider whether it should be widely adopted.”

"Dr. Mebius, would you be willing to provide the technology?" someone else asked. "The government will award you honors and a generous bonus."

"This technology is too dangerous; its safety must be confirmed." On the projected screen, people reached a consensus.

Let's acquire Mebius's techniques first.

“Even if I give you the technology, do you think you can replicate my immortality surgery?” Möbius sighed. “Don’t be so naive. The immortality surgery cannot be completed without a certain number of sacrifices. I will not hand it over to you to harm people.”

“Mébius, I think you’ve misunderstood,” the woman said with a smile. “We just want to confirm the safety of this technology.”

“I will make this meeting public afterward,” Möbius said coldly. “This was not a private meeting.”

The atmosphere fell silent.

The calls for Mebius to hand over his technology suddenly subsided, as if his throat had been choked.

It gives one a feeling of frustration.

"Dr. Möbius, do you consider your technology safe?" the woman asked again. "What is your definition of humanity?"

“The people who have undergone the surgery are all in very good condition,” Möbius replied. “As long as those who have undergone the modification do not reproduce in large numbers and pollute the human gene pool, there is not much to worry about.”

At this point, she added another sentence.

"Don't worry, I no longer plan to perform the immortality surgery on anyone. The technology will be temporarily sealed away until a suitable era."

"When do you think it would be appropriate to bring it out again?" an old man asked anxiously.

Young people can afford to wait.

However, the older folks couldn't wait that long; by the time Mebius decided it was the right time, they might all have been burned to ashes.

We can't let this technology be sealed away.

“We need to address the issues of cost and safety,” Mebius replied. “Currently, the cost of a single surgery is absolutely unaffordable for ordinary people. I want to wait until it becomes widely available before lifting the lockdown.”

"How long will it take?" the woman asked. This technology not only causes social conflict, but it is also extremely attractive to people.

The older a person is, the more attractive they become.

“I don’t know, maybe a year… or maybe ten, fifty years,” Möbius replied. “It depends on the current level of industrialization of civilization and my research and development progress. Once it is achieved, it can be popularized.”

The atmosphere fell silent.

Those present couldn't help but feel a pang of embarrassment or discomfort at Mebius's answer.

Indeed, Mebius makes a lot of sense, and the time that the technology has been blocked is not long, so one could say the outlook is very optimistic.

However, this is for ordinary people. People at the bottom of society don't have the money or resources to support the surgery to achieve immortality.

But these people are rich and powerful.

Therefore, even though they were representing the public, they still questioned Mebius.

However, their stance is not entirely on the side of the underprivileged.

However, that's certainly not how it should be said.

"Dr. Möbius, can you guarantee that you will not privately perform immortality modifications on people?" the woman asked Möbius. "Do you have any research needs during this period?"

To put it simply, during this period, are there any plans to perform immortality surgeries on some individuals?

Mebius, seemingly oblivious to the implied meaning, shook his head slightly and replied earnestly, "No, I will absolutely not modify the human body until I am certain that the technology is sufficiently safe."

"..."

"..."

The people present were speechless at Mebius's overly naive answer.

Are researchers really that inflexible?

“If there’s nothing else, let’s stop here.” Möbius stood up. “I still have a lot of research to do.”

After saying that, she got up and left the conference room. The virtual projection screens that had been lit up went dark one by one after a moment of silence.

This meeting was somewhat private in nature and not something that was brought up in public.

However, they understood what Mebius was thinking.

Well, you can't enjoy Möbius's immortality surgery through legitimate means.

The original purpose of the meeting was to confirm whether Möbius's technology was safe and whether Möbius had any dangerous ideas.

I can only say... there are some, but not many.

……

……

Outside the conference room.

"Doctor, you seem to be in a good mood," Klein asked, looking at Mebius who walked out of the door with a smile.

"It seems they didn't make things difficult for you, Doctor."

“Klein, do you know how they behaved?” Mebius laughed. “They were like children who said one thing but meant another. They really wanted it, their eyes were practically glued to it, but they still clumsily tried to hide it.”

She paused for a moment at this point.

"Humans are really interesting, aren't they?"

"Doctor, you have such a twisted sense of humor." Klein shook his head helplessly; Dr. Mebius wasn't much better now.

She looks a bit like a little girl who has successfully pulled off a prank.

“This is no prank,” Mebius said with a smile. “They now have two choices: either force me to perform the surgery on them, or find a way to help me popularize immortality for all of humanity.”

She asked Klein.

"Guess what they'll do?"

“The second one seems more rational,” Klein replied, “but they will definitely choose to force you, Doctor, to undergo the surgery.”

Chapter 68

I was actually rescued by a hero!

“Waiting is a very painful thing.” Mebius narrowed his eyes and chuckled as he spoke, “But they shouldn’t dare to go too far. I’m the one who’s in charge of the surgery. If I have even the slightest bad intentions…”

She slightly raised her hand and waved it down.

"If there's even the slightest unexpected problem during the surgery, it can become very troublesome."

“When people go crazy, they’re capable of anything.” Klein shook his head, wanting to offer a word of warning, but then he noticed Möbius reach out and gently touch her cheek with a smile.

"My only weakness is you, Klein." Möbius's smile was incredibly gentle, and his voice was like a spring breeze.

"So, Klein, would you like to stay with me tonight? That way, I can keep a close watch on your safety."

"..." Klein fell into thought, meeting Möbius's eyes. "Doctor, I... have to work overtime tonight."

“That kind of thing isn’t important.” Möbius pulled Klein’s arm. “For safety’s sake, Klein, sleep in the same bed with me tonight.”

"Wait, not today!" Klein's reaction was strange, which made Mebius ask with some confusion.

"Wouldn't we be safer this way?"

“But, Doctor… I’m not feeling well today.” Klein raised his hand and touched his lower abdomen, explaining to Möbius.

The air seemed to freeze.

"...Is it that you're feeling unwell?" Möbius asked expressionlessly, receiving an affirmative answer from Klein.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything reckless," she assured, then added, "It's just normal cohabitation."

“Doctor, it’s very safe inside World Snake.” Klein shook his head slightly. Since World Snake was a pharmaceutical company, and Dr. Mebius’s research costs were much lower than those of other companies.

This has led to World Snakes making more money than ordinary pharmaceutical companies, giving them enough financial strength to build their own headquarters.

It can be said that the security measures at the headquarters of World Serpent are extremely high, especially for the protection of important personnel.

To bypass the security of the World Serpent headquarters, one would need to be a genius beyond this era.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to do so.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have made the World Serpent so secure." Möbius complained, raising her hand to her forehead. She still wanted to find an opportunity to take her relationship with Klein to the next level.

This allowed the two to have a more in-depth conversation.

“Stop joking, Doctor,” Klein sighed again. “You still have a lot of work to do.”

"Yes, yes, yes." Mebius rolled her eyes charmingly, turned around and walked towards the laboratory. She still needed to research an environmentally versatile life form to deal with the Herrscher of the End and the Crimson Dragon Emperor.

Behind her, Klein didn't follow, but just looked down and touched his lower abdomen. Actually, she... had no problem.

However, when Dr. Mebius invited me to live with him, I still felt my body temperature rising slightly.

After being rejected, I felt a subtle sense of loss.
