If they can truly master and replicate this perfect serum, Trask's defensive capabilities will be completely transformed.

In the eyes of all the major powers, since Xuyang Manor can reliably produce flawless super soldier serum, it is only a matter of time before they can replicate the same level of product once they obtain the samples.

……

"It's simply unbelievable—the serum purity from Xuyang Manor has actually reached 100% of the theoretical limit!"

"The purification equipment we have can barely achieve 95% purity, let alone 100%."

"Investigate immediately! Where did those core equipment pieces at Xuyang Villa come from?"

"We found out long ago—most of the key equipment in the resort was made by Chung Kwok-hung himself."

"Chung Kuo-hung can manufacture equipment? Isn't he a PhD in mechanical engineering?"

"He has a natural ability to manipulate metal... Could it be that this device was 'grown' from that ability?"

"Eric can also control metals and disrupt magnetic fields. Maybe he can actually create the purification system we desperately need."

After testing the batch of perfect-grade serum, various forces mobilized their personnel and searched frantically for Eric's whereabouts.

Eric and Raven, having received the full serum, are strong enough, in terms of sheer strength, to carve out their own territory and establish themselves as kings.

Stryker's "mutant fog" can only temporarily silence mutants for a few minutes at most.

Eric and Raven have more than a dozen enhancement factors mixed in their bodies, so even when they put away their superpowers, their punches and kicks still carry immense force.

The moment the hearing enhancement serum is applied, even when enemies are still a hundred meters away crushing dry branches, they can already hear a clear echo in their ears.

Moreover, Stryker's magic mist system has a blind spot—it can't suppress all superpowers.

Eric, a seasoned veteran, had long since figured out how to deal with these volatile inhibitors.

Medicinal mist? A gust of wind can disperse it.

As long as you're not enveloped by the fog, you can still use your abilities.

Stryker, who was determined to eliminate mutants, was evenly matched with the Brotherhood in several rounds of fierce battles, and eventually stopped focusing his attacks on the Brotherhood altogether.

The liquid adamantium injector was instead completely controlled and manipulated by Eric's metal.

Stryker's anti-mutagenic mist also suppressed most mutants.

Eric dared not use the mushroom bomb, and conventional missiles were no match for Stryker's steel-like body.

Having witnessed Eric's reaction speed, strength threshold, and combat instincts firsthand, Stryker was at a loss for what to do.

After several direct confrontations, neither side gained any real advantage, but instead dragged many American civilians into the war, ultimately forcing them to call it a day.

S.H.I.E.L.D. was the first to locate Eric, but the first to actually confront him were the Hydra agents.

Because Chung Kwok-hung suddenly appeared, Alexander Pierce never revealed his true identity.

The former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. volunteered to meet with Eric in person.

Eric glanced at the perfect-grade serum on the table and shook his head: "My equipment can't produce this level of purity."

Eric was the one who designed and manufactured the brainwave amplifier for Professor X, Charles.

In terms of design precision, manufacturing skills, and engineering intuition, few people in the world can rival him—if he were to truly delve into the field of mechanical research and development, he might not lose to Tony Stark.

"So what's the best you can do?" Pierce asked.

"The equipment I use myself certainly doesn't have the same purification limit as Xuyang Manor, but it's at least one or two levels higher than what you're using now," Eric said confidently.

"Name your price," Pierce said.

"Three hundred billion dollars," Eric casually remarked.

Xuyang Mountain Villa's mass-produced Super Soldier Serum sells for 300 million per vial.

Eric felt that a set of equipment priced at 30 billion was perfectly fair.

"You might as well just rob a bank!" Pierce blurted out—the amount was far beyond his psychological limits.

"One serum from Xuyang Mountain Villa costs 300 million. My equipment is equivalent to the total price of one hundred serums. You still think it's too expensive?" Eric said calmly.

"That's outrageous." Pierce waved his hand. "What company can pull out 30 billion in cash all at once? Besides, the equipment you made is indeed not as precise as the batch currently in service at Xuyang Mountain Villa."

"Fine, don't buy it then. I'll just build my own factory and mass-produce the serum." Eric didn't care at all—he didn't understand biochemical formulas, but he had enough money and connections to poach several top teams with high salaries.

Seeing that Eric showed no signs of backing down, Pierce, his expression uncertain, silently turned and left.

Two hours later, representatives from the Umbrella Corporation arrived at the door.

Eric insisted on a price of $30 billion, which made the other party turn ashen-faced, and he left in a huff.

One after another, representatives of powerful factions came to his door to persuade him, but Eric refused to see them.

In his eyes, the number of organizations truly capable of tackling the tough challenge of the Super Soldier Serum can be counted on one hand.

The equipment he personally tuned is priced at 30 billion; it's not that it can't be sold, it's just a matter of time.

Upon receiving the news, Nick quickly drafted a report and immediately approved a special allocation of $30 billion.

The Super Soldier Serum has enormous potential and amazing profits—as long as the success rate remains high, money will naturally flow in.

On the day the payment arrived, Eric rolled up his sleeves and personally machined and polished a batch of core components, making a crucial upgrade to the equipment.

After S.H.I.E.L.D. adopted this machine, the success rate of serum injection jumped to around 60%.

Hydra, Umbrella Corporation, and Essex Corporation, upon hearing the news, quickly pooled their funds and each placed an order for one set.

Tight on cash? How about a loan? Or maybe you can team up with some friends to split the cost?

Even Trask Industries, which is at odds with the Brotherhood, gritted its teeth and acquired a set through the covert mediation of a mysterious company.

In less than thirty days, Eric's account had received more than 800 billion.

If you buy the complete machine, you only need to modify a few precision components yourself, and the precision of the entire system will be completely transformed.

A single unit costing 30 billion is too expensive? It's not like we're only targeting the US market.

On the surface, he sold more than twenty sets, but in reality, he personally handled very few of the core components.

With the serum success rate remaining stable at 60%, super clones of the Umbrella Corporation are springing up like mushrooms after rain.

Each clone costs only tens of thousands of dollars. Even if only 60% are successful, the cost of a qualified super clone can be kept below 200,000 dollars.

The loss of an ordinary person brings heartbreaking consequences: the cost of care, lawsuits, and public pressure.

One clone falls? It's just a matter of money being deducted from the account.

The ambitious Umbrella Corporation directly priced the super clone at $500,000 and put it on the market.

On the surface, the buyer has full control; behind the scenes, all clones have a remote takeover key.

Serums from companies like S.H.I.E.L.D., Umbrella, and Cybertron generally have a success rate of around 60%. Even if the price is reduced to 100,000 per unit, users will still gamble with their lives—this has no impact on Xuyang Mountain Villa's business.

If serum injection fails, there are only two outcomes: disability or death.
