I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 373 Good News and Bad News

Just as Erin and Kiris were quickly finishing off the dazzling array of food on the table.

Suddenly, a "ding" sounded again from the private elevator not far away.

Not long after, Dr. Banner, wearing a white lab coat that hadn't been washed for who knows how many days and emanating a faint odor, yawned as he entered Erin's top-floor kitchen.

After sniffing it a few times.

Looking at the food on the table that was almost completely devoured.

Dr. Banner shouted something.

"Leave some for me!"

Then, he immediately picked up a clean fork, forked a piece of tender beef sprinkled with red sauce and exuding a faint aroma of wine, and offered it to his hungry stomach.

After chewing a few times, Dr. Banner spit out the beef strip whole, then picked up a large glass of untouched milk and gulped it down.

After quickly stuffing the remaining one-fifth of the food on the table into his stomach.

Dr. Banner finally breathed a long sigh of relief after not getting a good night's sleep for several days and having a proper meal.

"I'm finally alive."

Erin picked up a glass of juice from the side and handed it to Dr. Banner, saying, "Have some juice first. I've already told the kitchen to bring up some more food."

Dr. Banner took the glass of juice from Erin and waved his hand, saying, "No need for that, I've almost finished eating."

After declining Erin's offer of an extra meal, Dr. Banner said, "I have good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?"

"Let's start with the good news first thing in the morning. I don't want my mood to be affected by so-called bad news at the very beginning of the day."

"All right!"

Seemingly convinced by Erin's reasoning, Dr. Banner, holding a glass of juice, said, "The good news is that the Fenrir Egg you gave me before has grown much stronger after absorbing a large amount of Purple Star Aloe Vera nutrient solution."

"According to Betty and me, after absorbing another three tons of Purple Star Aloe Vera nutrient solution, the Fenrir Egg should be able to return to normal. Once it's back to normal, we can then figure out a way to hatch it."

Upon hearing that the faint Fenrir's Egg that he had previously drawn had been reactivated thanks to Dr. Banner and Betty's research, Erin's eyes lit up, revealing a hint of joy.

However, the hint of joy on Erin's face quickly froze.

"Wait, did I hear that? Did you just use the unit of measurement 'ton'?"

Dr. Banner shrugged: "No, you heard me right. I did use tons as the unit of measurement, and the three tons of Purple Star Aloe Vera Nutrient Solution I mentioned was a very conservative estimate. If you want the little guy in the Fenrir Egg to have even greater potential after hatching, you'd better give it some other things that promote potential and growth."

After hearing this, Erin's stiff face twitched slightly.

Purple Star Aloe Vera Nutrient Solution is not like those cheap nutrient solutions on Earth.

Purple Star Aloe, the main ingredient in Purple Star Aloe Nutrient Solution, is not uncommon on Earth, but it is certainly not rare either.

Even for the current Miracle Group, it wouldn't be easy to gather enough materials to prepare three tons of Purple Star Aloe Vera Nutrient Solution in a short period of time.

And this is only the most conservative estimate Dr. Banner gave.

"So... this is the bad news you wanted to tell me."

Dr. Banner nodded: "That's right. I have to say that the little guy that hasn't been born yet is indeed worthy of being called the legendary monster egg. Even before it's born, its appetite is astonishing. The nutrient solution made from the materials left in the group's warehouse can only support its absorption for a maximum of five days."

"So, if you want it to hatch successfully, Boss, you'd better get ready right away."

Upon hearing this, Erin smiled wryly and said, "Alright, I'll call Fregra later and ask him to collect the materials for preparing the Purple Star Aloe Vera Nutrient Solution as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Dr. Banner immediately added a comment.

"No, it's not just Purple Star Aloe Vera Nutrient Solution. The materials for preparing the Miracle Potion in the group's warehouse are also running out. If possible, it would be best to have Fregra prepare them as well."

Rubbing his head, Erin said helplessly, "Alright, alright, I'll tell Fregra. Besides these things, tell me what else you need, and I'll have Fregra prepare it together."

After thinking for a moment, Dr. Banner continued:

"Have Fregra help me purchase another batch of new equipment. Recently, in order to produce as much of the miracle drug as possible, the equipment in the laboratory and factory has been running at overcapacity 24 hours a day. Some of the equipment has already started to malfunction. If we don't purchase some new equipment to relieve the pressure on them, I'm worried that they will break down soon..."

After having "Lo" record Dr. Banner's needs, Erin directly packaged and sent them to Fregra, asking him to arrange for people to purchase this batch of items.

After stating his or her requirements...

Dr. Banner suddenly added, "By the way, Betty heard from her father that someone discovered the magical blood orchid you mentioned deep in the Amazon rainforest."

"The Blood Orchid, they really found it? And wasn't Betty's father court-martialed last time? How come he's out again?"

Erin was somewhat surprised to hear this news.

Dr. Banner, seemingly used to it, shrugged and said, "Boss, this is the Federation. Although the Harlem incident caused a lot of casualties, it was thanks to General Ross's army that the casualties were prevented from increasing further."

"In addition, he is a veteran in the military, and after the Battle of New York, the military wanted to restart General Ross's super soldier serum program, so it is not surprising that he was reactivated."

Erin: "..."

Great, that's very federal.

While Erin remained silent, Dr. Banner continued, "As for the news about the Blood Orchid, it seems that General Portman from the Logistics Department told him about it. After you mentioned the Blood Orchid to General Portman last time, he seemed to take the information very seriously. He has been sending people to search for the Blood Orchid and even offered a large reward. However, it wasn't until two days ago that someone brought out a broken Blood Orchid from the depths of the Amazon rainforest."

"According to Betty's father, the data on the Blood Orchid is astonishing in some aspects. After a simple study, some people in the military even actually believed that the so-called 'concentrated miracle drug' was developed using the Blood Orchid."

"However, since there is only one broken Blood Orchid, much of the data is not of reference value. Therefore, the military recently plans to organize an exploration team, which will work with several special operations squads, to go deep into the Amazon rainforest to obtain the magical Blood Orchid..."

At this point, Gillies, who had been silent all along, spoke up: "According to the information from Duke, after receiving the news, S.H.I.E.L.D. also temporarily organized an elite team to go to the Amazon to collect a batch of Blood Orchids before the military could completely harvest them."

Because of what Erin said at the Miracle Potion launch event.

The Blood Orchid, which was originally unknown, has come to the attention of many forces.

So after the Blood Orchid was truly discovered, not only the military and S.H.I.E.L.D., but also many forces unknown to Erin and his group began to stir.

We plan to organize a team to go deep into the Amazon rainforest and try our luck.

Was it actually discovered?

Previously, after seeing the image of the terrifying giant serpent deep in the Amazon through satellite images from S.H.I.E.L.D. data, Erin had some suspicions about the existence of the Blood Orchid. Unexpectedly, this suspicion was confirmed by the military.

When Dr. Banner heard that S.H.I.E.L.D. had also sent people deep into the Amazon to retrieve the Blood Orchid, he was immediately alarmed:

"Are the S.H.I.E.L.D. people going too? I'll wait for Betty to come back and talk to her, and tell her not to go to the Amazon to join in the fun."

It turns out that after hearing the news about the Blood Orchid...

In order to see for myself what the Blood Orchid looks like, and to obtain firsthand data, I wanted to see just how amazing the so-called amazing data of the Blood Orchid really is.

Through her connection with General Torres, Betty went to the military laboratory.

In that laboratory, I witnessed firsthand the magical factors contained in the blood orchid.

Betty, who was interested in biological anomalies, even had the idea of ​​joining a military reconnaissance team and being escorted by a special forces squad to the depths of the Amazon rainforest.

And it is precisely because Betty is no longer keeping him in check that Dr. Banner has been so slovenly these past two days.

Of course, this is also related to Erin's previous request to Dr. Banner to develop a large quantity of the miracle drug in a short period of time.

However, after hearing that S.H.I.E.L.D. was also planning to send people deep into the Amazon, Dr. Banner didn't want Betty to go to the Amazon as well.

The military and S.H.I.E.L.D. are not on good terms.

Who knows what kind of sparks will fly when the military and S.H.I.E.L.D. meet in the remote depths of the Amazon rainforest?

The Amazon rainforest is dangerous enough as it is.

Dr. Banner didn't want his girlfriend to encounter any more danger because of the friction between the military and S.H.I.E.L.D.

·······

After learning that Betty had the idea of ​​going deep into the Amazon to explore the growing environment of the blood orchid.

Erin shook his head: "Deep in the Amazon, the most dangerous place isn't S.H.I.E.L.D.."

As he spoke, Erin told Dr. Banner and Gillies about the terrifying giant serpent deep in the Amazon, which he had previously obtained from S.H.I.E.L.D., as well as some other mutated plants and animals.

Upon hearing that a terrifying giant python, tens of meters long, was actually living deep in the Amazon rainforest, Dr. Banner's expression immediately changed.

Beneath his slightly pale skin, honed from years spent in the laboratory, a faint green glow emanated.

Damn!

Just based on its enormous size.

This kind of monster is not so easy to deal with.

If the opponent possesses some special abilities, even a fully armed special forces team wouldn't stand a chance.

It's hard to believe that the depths of the Amazon rainforest are so dangerous.

Dr. Banner immediately decided that no matter what Betty said, he would not agree to her plan to go deep into the Amazon this time.

I watched as Dr. Banner picked up his phone and hurriedly walked to a corner to make a call.

Gillies asked Erin, "What do you think are the chances that Dr. Banner will be able to persuade Betty this time?"

Erin glanced at Dr. Banner not far away and shook his head: "If Betty isn't very interested in the Blood Orchid, Dr. Banner has a 30% chance of persuading her, but if Betty is determined, Dr. Banner has less than a 10% chance of persuading her."

Betty has always been very opinionated.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have ignored everyone's advice and fallen in love with Dr. Banner, a man more than ten years her senior.

They would not stand firmly on Banner's side after he turned into the Hulk, and would even risk a complete falling out with General Ross to help Banner escape the military's pursuit time and time again.

Dr. Banner has always doted on his girlfriend, who is more than ten years younger than him.

Especially because of the Hulk incident, Dr. Banner, who felt he owed Betty a lot, rarely disagreed with Betty's decisions.

under these circumstances.

If Betty is truly determined, given Dr. Banner's personality, the chances of persuading her are extremely slim.

as predicted.

A dozen minutes later, Dr. Banner hung up the phone, looking utterly exhausted.

Seeing Dr. Banner's dejected appearance.

"Looks like we were right," Kiris said to Erin.

Upon hearing this, Erin couldn't help but smile and take a sip of the apple juice in her hand.

After Dr. Banner approached, before he could speak, Erin said, "The Amazon rainforest is remote and sparsely populated; no one knows what dangers lurk within."

"If Betty is going, for safety's sake, Dr. Banner can accompany her. He can also take the opportunity to investigate the growth environment of the Blood Orchid and see if we can replicate its growth environment to artificially cultivate this magical plant."

Banner, who had been looking dejected, was taken aback by what he heard.

After giving Erin a slightly grateful look, Dr. Banner shook his head and smiled wryly, "Betty can be a bit willful at times, but she's not the kind of person who's unreasonable."

"She was at a military research base just now, so there were many things I couldn't say. I believe she will give up her plans to go to the Amazon once I find an opportunity to explain things to her."

Hearing this, Erin smiled and nodded: "I know Betty isn't the kind of capricious woman, but if she's really interested in the Blood Orchid, then Dr. Banner, you could actually go with her for a trip, just to relax a bit."

"After spending a few months in the lab, Dr. Banner, you can take advantage of the time while Fregra is collecting materials to go out with Betty and change your mood. Don't worry, I'm not the kind of heartless capitalist. This is a paid vacation on your own, and yes, it even comes with a bonus."

After making a joke, Erin said seriously:

"Furthermore, I am indeed very interested in the Blood Orchid. If this plant could be artificially cultivated, it would be of great benefit to our Miracle Group."
