Chapter 92 - Artificial Retinal
Chapter 92: Artificial Retinal
“Little Jiu Jiu, why are you so serious? I only treat him as my brother,” Feng Qing said coquettishly.
“But I hate him from the bottom of my heart!” Xie Jiuhan said coldly.
Feng Qing looked at Xie Jiuhan strangely. This was the first time she had heard Xie Jiuhan say that he hated someone. As the head of the Xie family, his status was much higher than Xu Mingqian’s. Xu Mingqian was like an ant in his eyes. In the entire Capital, how many people could be on par with him?
“Eh? Why do you hate him?” Feng Qing asked curiously.
Xie Jiuhan’s expression was dark. A hint of jealousy flashed across his eyes. Yes, he was jealous of Xu Mingqian and jealous that he had known Feng Qing since they were young.
“Hey, I’m talking to you.” Feng Qing said unhappily.
Xie Jiuhan’s lips twitched as he pinched Feng Qing’s face. “There’s still class in the afternoon, right?”
Feng Qing wrapped her arms around Xie Jiuhan’s neck and bit his ear. As the hot air entered his ears, Xie Jiuhan felt goosebumps all over his body.
“Little Jiu Jiu, you’re so cute when you’re jealous! Haha…” Before she could finish her sentence, Feng Qing jumped out of the car and disappeared like a gust of wind.
Xie Jiuhan looked into the rearview mirror and rubbed his ears. There was a smile on his cold and heartless face. “Hmph, does he think he’s worthy of making me jealous?” Xie Jiuhan mocked himself in his heart. A person who stood at the top of the Capital would actually be jealous of an ordinary university student.
…
On the rooftop of the school building.
“Hehe, praise me! Did I do a good job this time?” On the other end of the phone, Mr. Qing Er’s smug voice sounded.
“Yes, it’s not bad and worthy of praise, but… didn’t you delete all the videos from the past?” Feng Qing said, “Why were Wu Xue and the others still able to find them?”
Mr. Qing Er said, “Er… If I said I forgot, would you believe me?”
Feng Qing smiled. “Why are you looking for me urgently?”
Hearing this question, Mr. Qing Er was instantly interested. “Have you heard of the Sorbonne Barr Union University? Through secret research, this university combined optical genetics with organic biology and developed a pair of artificial retinas.” For the sake of Feng Qing’s eyes, Mr. Qing Er paid attention to news in the relevant fields. “The artificial retina developed by the Sorbonne Barr Union University perfectly conforms to the human gene sequence. The human body’s reaction to it is not more than 0.01%. Isn’t it magical?”
Feng Qing’s heart skipped a beat, and her breathing stopped. The news that the rejection reaction was so low and completely compatible with human genes was too important to her.
“How much will it cost? How long will it take?” Feng Qing asked. If she could buy it, she did not care how much it cost.
Mr. Qing Er’s regretful voice sounded. “You’re going to be disappointed! Just now, the Sorbonne Barr Union University announced that they will seal this technology indefinitely because they want to mass-produce artificial retinas to benefit all mankind. However, the sponsor of this technology, the Earby pharmaceutical company, requests to take the global customization route. Only the rich can book it, and the poor are not fit to use it.
“Most importantly, in order to prevent this technology from leaking to the black-hearted businessmen who will use it for business operations, the Sorbonne Barr Union University plans to destroy the experimental data of this technology and the finished product.”
Feng Qing frowned, her heart falling to rock bottom. “Destroy the finished product? Isn’t this a waste?” Feng Qing couldn’t understand the westerners’ way of thinking. Instead of destroying it, why didn’t they use it to bring light to others? If that was the case, she would not fight for it. After all, every blind person yearned for light. But if it was destroyed, why not use it to treat her eyes! Her eyes were blind because of the drug. According to her research and examination, she found that there was nothing wrong with her retinal nerves or cornea. Only her retina was problematic.
“Where are the final two artificial retinas preserved?” Feng Qing asked.
Mr. Qing Er said regretfully, “The preservation location is unknown. However, the Sorbonne Barr Union University has decided that before destroying the last pair of artificial retinas, it will be displayed at the Human Health Center in Zhe City. The time is temporarily set for the middle of next month. Are you interested?”
The corners of Feng Qing’s mouth curled up. She didn’t expect that it would come to her country for exhibition.
Seeing that she did not speak, Mr. Qing Er continued. “That pair of artificial retinas has been targeted by many forces. There are rich businessmen on the international scene who gave a bounty of 50 billion. Countless people are waiting for the day it comes to our country.”
“50 billion! You can count money to death! Who will act within the organization?” Feng Qing asked. Faced with such a huge amount of wealth, she didn’t believe that no one in A Dark Organization would be tempted.
“Of course! The hacker genius, Night God. It’s said that he has already started setting it up. After snatching the retina, he will place it on the international Dark Network for auction,” replied Mr. Qing Er.
