And their chief had repeatedly explained the stakes to him on the way over.
To be honest, if it were not for the fact that the other party's product had practically frozen the flow of an entire square, leaving the crowd at a standstill for hours, while the people outside kept trying to force their way in after hearing the noise from the event, causing a fair amount of commotion and safety issues,
they truly would not have wanted to step into this mess.
Unlike certain countries, in America, corporations could genuinely influence the government.
Not to mention a unicorn company like this one.
He could even already imagine that, at this very moment, all kinds of major corporations, military figures, and government bigshots were already extending olive branches to the man through every possible channel.
So the chief inspector was giving this man more than enough respect.
And after seeing the other party's friendly attitude, along with the fact that the scene really had become packed shoulder to shoulder, Killian nodded and agreed to cooperate.
He then picked up the microphone and, after patiently appealing to the crowd with reason and emotion, the once completely jammed scene finally began to flow again.
Seeing that, the chief inspector beside him let out a breath of relief almost instinctively.
After all, this was a crowd of tens of thousands. If one thing had gone wrong, he likely would have been the first one removed from his position.
And now that it was finally over, the chief inspector showed a smile.
"Hello, I'm George Stacy. Thank you very much for your cooperation today."
Looking at Killian beside him, Chief Inspector George stretched out his hand in a friendly manner and spoke.
"Killian. I'm also very glad to meet you, Chief Inspector. Here is my business card. I hope we may have a chance to cooperate in the future."
Looking at the man before him, Killian finally remembered who he was.
The future father-in-law of the little spider, the future chief of the NYPD.
It was just that things were still too early right now, and he was only a chief inspector. But counting the timeline, ten years later he really would be sitting in that position.
Thinking of that, Killian took out the business card from his pocket and handed it to him.
It could count as building a good relationship in advance.
Right now, George was still only a chief inspector, which meant he would not be of great help to him yet.
After taking the card, George did not chat much more. He simply turned around and went back to lead his men in maintaining order at the scene.
After all, in order to make sure nothing went wrong here, several nearby precincts had sent over more than a hundred officers.
In fact, even Killian, standing on the stage, could tell that some of those officers had probably originally been on vacation and had been forcibly dragged over for overtime.
Because from the eyes of some of them, Killian could see deep resentment.
...
The next day.
As the morning sun rose,
the moment Killian woke up, he eagerly immersed his consciousness into his mind.
[Black Tech System of the Myriad Worlds]
[Host: Aldrich Killian]
[Prestige: 5336]
[Technology Store: Level 1 (6336/10000)]
[Technology Unlock Progress: None]
[Unlocked Technology: Big Hero 6 Baymax, Basic Version (Completion 100%)]
In just one night, Baymax's influence had increased his prestige by nearly 5000 points.
If this continued, Killian believed that in less than a week, he would be able to unlock the Level 2 store again.
Of course, for Killian, all of that was secondary.
What he needed now was the T-Virus.
Not only did he need its healing effects, but he also needed it to strengthen his body.
He did not hope to become a superhuman like Alice, someone who could affect space satellites with her mind.
As long as it could give him rapid recovery and a healthy body, that would be enough.
Right now, ever since he came out of the lab after the previous intense period of work, his body had needed a long time to recover.
There was no helping it. The previous Killian had focused too much on research, and he was naturally terrible at sports. His body had remained in a long-term unhealthy subpar state.
Even if he wanted to fix that now, without a long period of exercise and dietary adjustment, it would be impossible.
And there was no way he could devote all of his time to training.
After all, this was still the early stage of building his business, and there were many things he personally had to handle.
So the only real method was to rely on the T-Virus to strengthen him.
Without even thinking twice, Killian immediately spent one thousand prestige points to exchange for the T-Virus research data.
In the next second, Killian felt as if his mind had instantly gained a whole series of knowledge related to the cultivation, production, and other details of the T-Virus.
"Ding. Detected that the T-Virus base solution cannot be extracted in the real world. It has now been placed in the store and the exchange permission has been unlocked."
Then, after Killian regained his senses, the system's voice rang out again.
Following the system's reminder, Killian opened the biological finished product section in the technology exchange category.
And there, right at the top, was the core material for the T-Virus base solution:
The Stairway of the Sun flower.
The moment Killian saw it, he immediately understood.
This was the beginning of everything in the Resident Evil world.
The Stairway of the Sun was an ancient species of chrysanthemum-like flower that contained the Progenitor Virus capable of strengthening any organism.
However, only those able to adapt to the Progenitor Virus would gain that enhancement.
Those unable to adapt would die from the virus.
And cultivating the Stairway of the Sun was very simple.
It only required a culture vessel and then patient waiting.
It matured once every three months, which meant that as long as he had a single one, he would have an endless supply of viral raw material.
And the Stairway of the Sun was not only useful for cultivating the T-Virus.
In the Resident Evil world, powerful viruses such as the C-Virus, E-Virus, G-Virus, and T-Veronica Virus had all evolved from this foundation.
Unfortunately, all of those were still grayed out.
Clearly, the system wanted him to focus on his current project each time he developed something. Killian understood the principle well enough: bite off more than you can chew, and you would choke.
If he pursued only power and exchanged for everything at once, then in the end he would only destroy his own future.
Of course, it was also possible that those would only unlock after the system upgraded.
But all of that was still far too early for Killian.
After looking at the T-Virus base solution and seeing that it only cost 500 prestige points, which was not too expensive,
Killian directly exchanged for it.
'Ding. Exchange successful.'
'Remaining Prestige: 3836'
And after exchanging for the T-Virus research series, Killian instantly felt his head start to ache.
Because from the information he had received,
what currently existed in his mind was only the T-Virus-related data.
If he were to type it all out on a computer, he estimated that he would need an entire month of doing nothing else, not eating or drinking, just to finish inputting it.
And that would still only be if he copied it exactly as it existed in his head.
One had to remember that in the original plot, Umbrella had poured terrifying amounts of manpower, resources, and time into the T-Virus.
A rough estimate would put the total at around forty years.
And now, even though he was working with ready-made results, it would still take a huge amount of time for him to fully reproduce it.
