Chapter 261: Chip

Lyca looked at Lai Su, unimpressed. The first reason why she wanted to work with this man was because of his previous accomplishments in radioactive energy which she could easily exploit for her own gains. Second, Lai Su had an obsessive personality. This personality would make the old man work and work until he achieves his goal. However, from Lyca's perspective, this second reason also had a negative side.

He wouldn't stop working! He would work forgetting about sleeping and eating! "You look like a zombie." She said. "When was the last time you had a good night's sleep?"

Lai Su looked at Lyca and lifted his eyebrow. Does she know that she too, looked like a zombie? "I had a breakthrough on the research that you gave me the last time that we went to Long City. This could clearly help the medical field! Here! Here! Look at this! Come! Quickly!" When Lai Su realized that Lyca was ignoring him, he tried to approach the peculiar woman again. "You know, we can always use this to create something that could permanently kill cancer cells! If that happens— You aren't interested in this research, are you?"

"I am not interested." She gave him an honest answer. In the first place, she already threw away this research as she realized that it wouldn't make her create a path back to her previous world. Second, what does cancer had to do with her? She wasn't some hero who had the intention to save all cancer patients, alright. 

Moreover, this would only add a new burden to Lyca.

"You really— I don't know what is in your head. This is a breakthrough In the medical field! Once we— " Unable to stop himself, Lai Su dragged Lyca towards the room so she could change her suit into something that would protect her from the small radiation in another room. When she saw that Lyca actually followed him inside the room, Lai Su started beaming. "Look at this!"

"A chip?" In front of Lyca was a small chip that resembled a small thin bulb. It was about half the diameter of her pinky finger and was about an inch long.

"This — We could insert this in the body. It could potentially kill cancer cells. Of course, I am only experimenting on rats and not on humans so I can't really tell if it's effective on humans. So far, I used ten rats with cancer and eight of them actually had the damaged cells dissolved by this chip. The other two were quite old so the effects aren't too— "

"Can we make this smaller?" Lyca suddenly uttered, interrupting Lai Su.

"Small? Smaller? Of— Of course but— "

"Can we make this explode?"

Lai Su's face change. As expected! He already expected that this peculiar woman would ask this question! "Yes— If we change… ehem… just a little tweaking can make them explode. But the nuclei were unstable so, it will be very dangerous. Of course, the damage would be smaller compared to atomic bombs, but the explosion would be enough to kill someone." Lai Su couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He already knew that this woman's goal is different than his goal and yet, he still couldn't stop himself from working with her. Why? You ask? Because of her knowledge. Lyca might be a little sadistic but her knowledge far surpassed his own brains. In front of an existence like that, Lai Su was truly helpless.

"Then tweak it," Lyca said and turned her back as she walked out of the room. "Send me the finished product so I can enhance it."

"Enhance… enhance? What are you planning to do?" he quickly followed her and the two of them discarded their suit before walking towards Lyca's personal lab.

"I will find a way to control it." Lyca smiled. This is a small microchip with a power of a small atomic bomb. Of course, she wanted to play around with it! "Congratulations on your research. You should move to the next phase and— "

"No." Lai Su's huge smile vanished, and it was quickly replaced by a frown. "I am not going to announce this research to the world. I'm fine with knowing that I can succeed. I don't need any more recognition."

Lyca stared at the older man before shrugging. She wasn't really surprised that Lai Su would choose to hide his accomplishments after he was used by big pharmaceutical companies in the past. "Alright then… since you don't want to save people. Just help me make something to kill them." She said before she gestured him to leave her alone and get some rest. The man had been working nonstop in making chemicals that they could use in their bullets before sending them to their people who create those bullets. This was all on top of his own achievements in research.

Lyca sigh as she looked at the vials with different colored liquids. She had actually used a lot of her poisons that she needed to replenish her supplies. After making sure that she is wearing all the right suit, Lyca immediately grabbed some tongs and beakers to start with her experiments.

Lyca knew that the whole day won't be enough if she wanted to create poisonous tablets. She would need a week to finish everything. Moreover, it seems that her other components such as venoms and toxins were running low. So, she needed to make a trip to the black market to personally purchased everything.

Ah, she really needed to do a lot of stuff. Just thinking about it is making her feel tired. Soon after, the thick smell of boiling toxins started to spread inside the room as Lyca started to process more ingredients using her internal energy. After four hours inside the lab, Ronan personally came to inform her that Shen Qui is already awake. Of course, despite being too angry, Lyca still froze and immediately ended what she was doing to see her husband.

She only wanted to scold him, alright? She swore! That was all!
