Chapter 659: Extra 10

Gaia Research Center, New Team's Lab.
"I know I'm young and inexperienced.
Leading a team on my first day is indeed a bit against the rules, and I'm sure you're all a little nervous.
Well, let alone you all, even I'm a bit bewildered..."
Su Yun stood before a group of researchers more senior than him, with thinner hair, a harmless smile on his face, and began his humble opening remarks.
"But I still hope you can all be understanding.
If I do anything wrong in the future, please treat me like your own immature younger brother, and point it out frankly, please don't hold back..."
However, the reaction from below was unexpectedly enthusiastic.
"Oh! What are you saying, Team Leader! As the saying goes, 'Those who achieve are teachers!'"
"Exactly! We were all there at the meeting that day!
Your earth-shattering performance, we witnessed it with our own eyes! It was absolutely amazing!"
"Yeah! In this place where you earn your living through merit, who dares question your abilities?
To tell you the truth, when I heard I was assigned to 'Crown Prince'... oh no, Team Leader Su's team, I was so happy I almost did a somersault in the hallway!
Do you know how envious everyone is of us?"
"Really?"
"Absolutely! Everyone knows our new team has a bright future. Working for you is a blessing so many people would kill for! Hahahaha!"
The researchers were all beaming, their flattery deafening.
While some might be after the "Crown Prince's" status, the fervor in most people's eyes was undeniable.
After all, what happened at the meeting was truly astounding.
Who could have imagined that a newcomer could so easily dominate a newbie village, pinpointing a blind spot even the super AI overlooked, leaving the notoriously grumpy Director Zhou Yi and a group of senior researchers speechless?
This is practically a workplace fantasy come to life.
Not to mention, this new team leader's father is none other than Su Hao, a super-powerful figure whose mere presence on this planet could cause an earthquake.
Even a pig would be fawned over by these people if it were Su Hao's son;
Even more so when this is a true dragon whose intelligence surpasses all others!
Like father, like son; the power of genes is terrifying...
This isn't just a team leader; this is a golden thigh studded with diamonds!
“Since everyone trusts me so much, I won't be coy.”
Su Yun nodded, quickly getting into character.
“As per Director Zhou's instructions, the first phase of the task is to conduct a thorough review of all projects in the center.”
“Wow, team leader… the center has so many projects, just reading the documents is enough to make one sick.
Does that mean we won't have time for new projects recently?”
“As long as we're efficient, time is like water in a sponge; you can always squeeze some out.
In short, everyone needs to be prepared to work incredibly hard during this period.
Also, I'm new here and not familiar with the work processes yet, so I'll need everyone's guidance in the future.”
“No problem! Team leader, please give us your orders! It's our honor to serve you!”
The researchers' cooperation was now even better than that of highly trained special forces.
Everyone knew exactly what was going on.
Following a leader with such an "unlimited money advantage" and "top-tier connections" was like being an eagle riding the crest of a wave—it was impossible not to soar!
The burning passion in their eyes wasn't just for their work; it was a deep ambition to cling to this powerful figure and achieve a dramatic turnaround in their lives!
"Alright, let's have another meeting tonight. Everyone, digest those project reports first."
"Yes, team leader! Thank you for your hard work, team leader!"
After everyone dispersed, Su Yun walked alone into his office.
The moment the door closed, the humble smile on his face vanished instantly, replaced by an unfathomable indifference.
He sat in the expensive ergonomic chair, not looking at the mountain of reports on his desk, but leaning back, staring blankly at the pale ceiling.
Digest the reports?
Ha.
In truth, those so-called reports, the moment his fingers touched them…
The knowledge, data, and logic were completely analyzed by his brain, like light being swallowed by a black hole.
No deep thinking was needed. Formulas that were obscure and difficult for ordinary people were as simple and boring to him as "1+1=2."
Even the so-called ability to read ten lines at a glance was an insult to him; it was a terrifying speed akin to "quantum reading."
The reason he pretended to say "let's talk later tonight" was purely to protect the self-esteem and physical limits of these mortals.
Global cooling?
Ecological balance?
These utterly boring things were not even on his list of concerns.
His gaze had already transcended these mundane aspirations, turning to a more forbidden realm!
He opened an encrypted folder on his computer, containing an unpublished paper he had written during his doctoral studies.
It wasn't some grand blueprint for solving global warming, but rather an ancient topic in life sciences.
[Cellular Immortality]
The current scientific community is still complacent about simplistic concepts like "inhibiting aging" and "extending telomeres."
But Su Yun thinks those are too rudimentary.
What he wants is not just anti-aging, but to block the very concept of "cell death"!
What he wants is—eternity!
A super cell capable of infinite self-replication, perfect self-repair, and eternally maintaining peak condition.
This means—
Physical sanctification, immortality, human immortality!
To bring the concept of "god" down from mythology and give it concrete flesh and blood!
'But…this divine power cannot be granted to everyone.'
A cold glint flashed in Su Yun's eyes.
If everyone could be immortal, this world would instantly become hell.
Resource depletion, order collapse—that's not evolution, that's human extinction!
True immortality must be a privilege.
It must be a unique, supreme authority.
Only a select, supreme being is worthy of this power that transcends time.
Although in the distant future, humanity may achieve a form of immortality by uploading consciousness and replacing the body with a machine.
But how could a life pieced together from scrap metal compare to this flawless, immortal "god"?
That noble being would not tolerate any mechanical defilement.
With only a mortal body, he could defy the erosion of time, instantly recovering from any fatal injury, truly transcending the cycle of life and death!
And in this world, only one person deserves this supreme glory, worthy of Su Yun's lifelong devotion!
That person is—his father!
'Father…'
Su Yun closed his eyes, the towering figure of Su Hao appearing in his mind.
From childhood, his father would always stroke his head and say:
'Son, you will definitely become a great scientist who changes the world!'
Su Yun listened, but he had his own interpretation.
Father was wrong.
Or rather, Father underestimated his filial piety.
'Father, my mission isn't to succeed you as emperor of some business empire; that's too vulgar.'
'I have no interest in being a superhero who saves the world; that's just a side quest.'
Su Yun closed his eyes, a worshipful and devout smile playing on his lips.
From the moment he became aware of the world, he clearly defined his life's script.
'My sole dream, the sole driving force behind the operation of my extraordinary brain, is—to make that figure on the throne eternal!'
'I will use the power of science to personally crown you…from man to god!'
This,
is how Su Yun understood,
the entire meaning of his birth into this world!
