Chapter 169: Second Mind Serum
Uncle Adam, how have you been? Miles greeted his uncle at his laboratory. It was also inside the headquarters, but it was almost impossible to be inside because, without Adams permission, no one on the face of Earth could enter there. Not even three generals nor the president. And, Adam wouldnt permit people most of the time, because he was a workaholic.
Brat. You finally remembered your uncle. Adam smiled and walked to hug Miles. Miles didnt come without notice. He called Adam a day before and said he wanted to visit him. Of course, the place to meet was Adams laboratory.
It wasnt Miles's first time there. He visited Adam many times before and at the time, the laboratory was just a giant warehouse with thousands upon thousands of samples collected from Portal World with a giant workstation in the middle, but now there were many new machines placed around the main workstation and the warehouse even had more samples.
Now that is hurtful Uncle. I tried to call you before, but you were too busy to answer. Miles looked at Adam with a hurt expression.
I was? Adam looked down in thought and tried to remember.
He is lying. A voice came from Adams wrist, and Miles smiled sheepishly.
Cmon Cain, I almost got him this time. Why would you bust me. Miles chuckled.
You little brat. Ignoring your awesome uncle and even lying to take advantage of my always busy mind. Adam looked stern but after a while burst into laughter too. So, what is your purpose for visiting this time?
Cant I come because I missed you? Miles asked, but Adam wasnt taking it. He looked at Miles and cut the crap expression.
But the information Miles was gaining didnt have that secret code, so Miles could assimilate and study them to use for himself. That was taxing his brain. That was one of the reasons for his urgent usage of the second Mind Serum.
Are you ready?
I am good to go! Miles nodded and Adam pressed the button. Information started to appear in Miles's brain, and he filtered them to sort, so he could study them chronologically. But looking through them, Miles understood why Adam was the best biologist in Unity.
His theories even before Mother AI appeared were ahead of the time. He was wondering how monsters had elemental powers, and how they could fuel with bodily energies and theorized there should have been some other element helping them grow their elemental powers. He even requested living monsters but was denied by the military.
Like his sister, he was shut off by his supervisors, and his freedom to think was limited, but when Mother AI appeared, she noticed Adams great mind and worked with him directly.
Adam was the first to awaken superpower in humanity, and also received the first wristwatch ever. Miles didnt know these before, but they were noted in some texts. His scientific breakthroughs after Mother AIs arrival were mind-blowing. After a few minutes, Miles felt his brain couldnt take anymore, and signaled Adam to stop.
Three minutes, twenty-three seconds. Adam looked at the timer with his mouth agape, You are really a monster like sis said.
How devastating, my mother and uncle call me a monster behind my back. Miles faked sadness as he shook his head tiredly. Despite using a Mind Serum before, this procedure still put a toll on his mind.
Stop it, you little beast. You already used the third strengthening serum. He sighed and said, You are way beyond fourth Mind Serum, but you still have to internalize the serum for a while, so you cannot use serums tout de suite. Adam said and removed a serum from one of the drawers. He pulled the protective cover with his mouth and stabbed Miles on his vein without hesitation.
Nice party trick. Miles snickered as Adam rolled his eyes.
