"What do you think?"
The question was simple, but the effect of agreeing to this plan would be huge. He would be famous, which meant he would be targeted by a lot of people.
Most likely, the terrorist organization would be coming for him because of this very reason. Or they might join hands with other people.
If they chose the latter, they would definitely end up revealing themselves. If he played this right, he might be able to catch that terrorist organization, but a wrong move would cause him to end up dying or kidnapped.
So, the core of his plan would revolve around Sleeping Garden.
He approached Sleeping Garden for a few reasons. It seemed he could accomplish all of it by proceeding with this plan.
On the other hand, it would also mean Selena and Sera would be targeted. The Holy Kingdom would most likely make their move on Sera.
Considering the grudge between Selena and the Ashton family, they might try to kidnap him or kill Selena because she was his woman. His rise would definitely crush the acting count.
However, if he succeeded, Selena could get her revenge.
In addition, building his reputation was also something he wanted to do. Despite knowing that being popular meant bringing a lot of enemies, Nathan knew there were a lot of other benefits.
After some considerations, Nathan made his decision. "Alright. What's the time for the presentation, though?"
"For the first one, it will be around a few days after your fight against Alavenya. If you win, people won't doubt you about being my co-author.
"For the second one, it's after graduation. Maybe a few weeks before we accept the new freshmen."
Nathan pondered. "Still, I'm not a researcher. My knowledge is pretty shallow, especially about Ena."
"Unfortunately, if we charge the storage with our own Ena, it will disappear if we lose control over that Ena. Hence, it can only be charged by cores.
"However, if we can somehow improve the efficiency, it won't matter much. The cost of the weapon will be lower than the reward.
"And it might be possible if we expand the Ena classification again. That's a topic for another time. To answer your question, yes, I can make the prototype for you. If you show it to that elder dwarf, he can create a new shell that will match the design of your weapon."
Nathan listened attentively. He crossed his arms. "Should I assist you?"
"Sure. It will only take a day to create the new prototype and a few days to make sure it's functioning properly. I don't want to put you in any danger because of my untested creation."
Nathan smiled. "I understand. Let's do it that way. I will go on a mission with Selena and Sera in a week, so I have enough time. Should I ask him to sign a confidential contract?"
"I will draft the contract. You don't have to worry about that." Vivian smiled. "However, I need to ask you one question. Are you sure you're fine contributing this to the world?"
Nathan nodded. "Yes. I personally don't mind. I might not be a hero, but I'm not heartless. Why do you ask?"
"I mean, if you present this kind of research as a bride's price, you can basically get any woman you want, including Flora." She smirked.
Nathan scratched the back of his head. "Why do you even mention Flora?"
"She always put on a playful expression, as if everything had gone according to plan. I just want to slap her and put her in her place. Ah, it will be satisfying."
"Please don't use such an important reason for such a petty reason, Master." Nathan interjected.
"I mean, she is teasing people most of the time, right? Don't you just want to bully her from time to time? I can see it. I can see that frustrated face!"
"I will take my leave then." Nathan bowed while letting out a long sigh.
