Reborn in Marvel, I am Iron Man's son?

Killian stood there, stunned.

The humiliation and anger he felt from being mocked vanished instantly.

He said somewhat awkwardly, "Well, it's really my fault for being too presumptuous. This really isn't a very good place to meet..."

"You said before that you had some questions for me?"

"Yes, I have read some of your published papers, and I still have some questions that I would like your guidance on..."

"Actually, this problem is quite simple; you can verify it through Mendel's hybridization experiments..."

The two talked on the rooftop for half an hour without realizing it, before having to return to their respective rooms because it was too cold.

"Mr. Stark is truly a genius; I have benefited greatly from some of his ideas!"

Killian returned to his room, his admiration for Tony growing even stronger.

He had completely forgotten the frustration he had felt waiting on the rooftop for nearly an hour.

Through their conversation, Tony also changed his opinion of Killian.

He has already acknowledged the other party's expertise in biological research.

"I never expected Killian to be a biological researcher whose abilities are no less than Maya's! How did Mark manage to recruit these two? Even our Stark Industries can't find such outstanding biological geniuses!"

Tony couldn't help but feel envious of Mark.

If it weren't for the fact that the two of them were employees of Mark Corporation, he would have wanted to poach them to Stark Industries!

After the technology summit ended, Mark received a call from Killian, who told him what had happened at the summit.

"Because of my involvement, the original plot was changed. Maya obtained the key biological formula, and Killian did not turn evil."

Mark finally put his worries to rest.

For the next two days, Mark stayed home with Rosalie to celebrate the New Year.

That morning, Rosalie received a phone call.

After hanging up the phone, she found Mark with a serious expression: "Mark, something happened at your Aunt Daphne's house!"

Chapter 75 Daphne's Gratitude (Seeking First Subscription)

"Oh, what happened at Aunt Daphne's house?"

Mark immediately inquired with concern.

Mark noticed that Daphne looked off during Christmas last year, so it seemed like something really had happened.

"Daphne's mother was feeling unwell a few days ago and went to the hospital for a checkup, where she was diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer!"

Rosalie sighed: "Your Aunt Daphne didn't want to tell us this, but she had no choice but to tell us in order to borrow money from us for her mother's medical treatment."

"But this is a terminal illness. Even if Aunt Daphne borrows money from us, the hospital can't cure her mother's disease!"

Mark frowned as he spoke.

For hospitals today, late-stage lung cancer is a true terminal illness. At most, it can prolong the patient's suffering, but it is not truly curable.

Mark worried that she would still have to endure the pain of losing her loved ones.

Daphne's parents divorced when she was young, and she has always lived with her mother.

Now that her only relative is terminally ill, how can she bear it?

"We can only do our best; the rest is up to God."

Rosalie said with a helpless expression.

"Mom, maybe I have a way to cure her mother's illness!"

After a moment's thought, Mark said to Rosalie.

"What did you say! What's your plan?"

Rosalie looked at Mark in surprise and asked in disbelief.

Although she was used to Mark's many geniuses, she couldn't believe that he could now even cure terminal illnesses.

"Mom, you know I recently acquired a company called Future Pharma. They were researching a drug that could cure terminal illnesses, and now this drug has made a major technological breakthrough and should soon be able to begin human clinical trials."

Mark didn't hide anything and told Rosalie about the Extremis virus.

"How long exactly will it take before it can be used in clinical trials?"

Rosalie quickly pressed for more information.

"I'll ask around for you."

Mark nodded and dialed Killian's number.

"Killian, the biological formula you obtained from Tony Stark should be able to solve the problem of the Extremis virus causing human self-destruction, right? When can you use the Extremis virus for human clinical trials?"

He asked immediately.

"We have been conducting repeated animal experiments over the past two days, from mice to monkeys and chimpanzees, and have confirmed that the extinction virus no longer poses any risk of self-destruction!"

Killian reported to Mark, "Maya has submitted an application for human clinical trials to the FDA, and if all goes well, it can officially enter the clinical trial phase in thirty days."

Previously, due to the high self-destruction rate of the Extremis virus, human clinical trials could not be approved, and they could only conduct experiments on animals and plants.

Now that Maya has solved the self-destruction problem using the biological equation provided by Tony, there are no issues with the application process.

"The Extremis virus has another flaw: it makes people irritable and easily angered. How do you solve this problem?"

Mark continued to ask questions.

"This defect cannot be cured yet, but our laboratory has developed corresponding neurodepressant drugs that can temporarily stabilize patients' emotions. However, long-term use may lead to feelings of suicidal ideation, depression, etc."

"Killian replied."

After hanging up the phone, Mark fell into deep thought.

The current Extremis virus is indeed not perfect, with many flaws and side effects.

But compared to death, such side effects are already within an acceptable range.

After all, most drugs in the world have side effects, and humans can only constantly weigh the cure for diseases against the side effects.

Mark told Rosalie about his conversation with Killian.

"That's wonderful! Although Daphne's mother's illness is serious, she can wait a month. I'll tell her the good news now!"

Rosalie said excitedly.

Half an hour later, Daphne rushed to Mark's house.

"Mark, are you telling the truth? Do you really have a way to cure my mother's terminal illness?"

Daphne's eyes reddened, and her voice trembled with excitement.

If anyone else had said this, Daphne would never have believed it.

She herself is a medical professional and knows that her mother has a terminal illness that is incurable with current medical conditions.

But Mark is different; he has achieved too many incredible accomplishments at a young age.

Moreover, Daphne watched Mark grow up and knew he wouldn't joke about something like that.

"It's true, but there will be serious long-term effects..."

Mark then told Daphne what Killian had just said.

"We can accept it!"

Daphne agreed without any hesitation.

She could accept any aftereffects as long as it saved her mother's life.

As a medical professional, Daphne was more clear-headed.

She had seen far too many patients in the hospital pay an even more terrible price just to survive!

"Once the clinical trial application is approved, Aunt Daphne, please take your mother to Future Pharmaceuticals. They will arrange treatment for her there!"

Mark was happy to be able to help Daphne.

Daphne was not only Rosalie's closest friend, but she also often looked after Mark when he was a child.

To Mark and Rosalie, she was already like family.

"Thank you, Mark!"

Daphne gratefully stepped forward and gave Mark a hug.

She, who had been plunged into despair because her mother was diagnosed with a terminal illness, finally saw hope again.

After finding hope with Mark, Daphne stopped letting her mother risk treatment at other hospitals and instead began to focus on inpatient care.

When winter break ended, Mark went to school to take an exam and applied for another three-week vacation, which he then took to the skies aboard the Falcon.

Upgrading abilities will require more and more Sun Points, so Mark can't waste time!

As soon as Mark boarded the plane, Silas reported to him on his recent work.

"Boss, the membership system for Panda Chat software was officially launched today! At first, there were quite a few people criticizing us for charging fees online, but after they learned that the membership system is voluntary and will not affect other users' use, such voices have decreased."

"Furthermore, the simultaneous launch of the free web game Happy Farm brought more users to the chat software and also improved our reputation among players."

"In a couple of days, we'll be able to tally up how many Panda Chat users have activated their memberships."

After listening to Silas's report, Mark nodded in satisfaction.

These are all successful experiences from those internet giants he knew before he transmigrated, so using them now shouldn't pose much of a problem.

The only thing that Mark was unhappy about was that paying online was too inconvenient now, which greatly affected the game company's revenue.

"Perhaps it's time to establish an online bank!"

After a moment's thought, Mark made his decision.

Chapter Seventy-Six: Healing (Seeking First Subscription)

Mark now has plenty of funds, so setting up an online bank wouldn't be difficult for him.

With the advent of online banking, gamers' willingness to pay will inevitably increase significantly in the future.

Furthermore, Mark wants to establish an online shopping platform in the future, so online banking is also essential.

Mark immediately took out his phone and contacted a financial law firm.

He hired the opposing lawyer to help him investigate and select a suitable small private bank for acquisition.

This way, you can directly obtain a business license, saving a lot of time and trouble.

January passed quickly.

Sunlight index: 304125

[Super Physique LV9 (0/512000)]

Mark's daily rating has exceeded 30, bringing him one step closer to upgrading.

Just then, Killian called Mark.

"Boss, we have already received Daphne and her mother, whom you mentioned. We are currently conducting genetic testing on the patient and preparing to arrange treatment!"

"In addition, there are 20 volunteers suffering from terminal illnesses. We have informed them in advance of all the potential risks of treatment and they have signed waivers."

Killian reported to Mark.

The federal government has many patients with terminal illnesses who cannot afford hospital treatment.

If medicine can treat these patients for free in the future, many people will be willing to take the risk of participating in clinical trials.

"Yes, Daphne's mother can be placed after the other test subjects so that she can receive special attention!"

Mark concluded with a reminder.

Since the other party was Daphne's mother, Mark naturally had to give her special treatment.

If possible, it would be best to wait until the technology for the Extremis virus is mature before treating Daphne's mother.

Unfortunately, given her health condition, she wouldn't live to see that day.
