Chapter 735: Chapter 729: A Few Brothers (Part 2)
Speaking of which, all of Finn Lewis’s former college buddies now work under him. Even the least successful among them is now a general manager of a subsidiary. Honestly, human ability can be cultivated. While it might seem like Finn plays favorites, these guys have proven themselves. They may not be business masterminds, but with the help of AI robots, there’s no problem with them being CEOs of a company.
Once you’ve had a certain position for a while, you naturally learn some things. Take David Hale, Peak Blair, and Daniel Pan, for example. If you brought them back to their college days with their current demeanor, everyone would see them as successful businessmen. If it wasn’t said outright, their old classmates might not even recognize them. Once a person has developed their character and gained confidence, their overall look and vibe changes completely.
Furthermore, if these guys couldn’t handle their positions even with Finn’s training, they’d have to be as dumb as pigs. So, no one doubts their capabilities anymore, and Finn’s efforts to train them haven’t been wasted. Of course, to Finn now, running a company on Earth doesn’t mean much. He wouldn’t mind if he lost control of all the Virtual World Corporations on Earth. He doesn’t care about favoritism while hiring. Even if his friends would cause the company to be Prodigal, what’s the big deal?
Hearing about Finn’s wedding, these buddies naturally rushed over immediately. Finn has already shared many things with them. Although he hasn’t revealed everything, what they know is probably about the same as what most middle-aged people know.
“Right, a live broadcast. Do you think any TV station would pick it up?” Finn thought for a moment before raising the question. After all, his wedding isn’t a celebrity affair, and TV stations look for potential profit. Whether they accept the offer or not is still an unknown.
“Why do you care about that? Also, I’m curious about what you’re thinking. Flaunting is your style, but becoming famous worldwide isn’t like you.” Mr. Humphrey asked Finn, appearing somewhat puzzled.
“I say, you’re not planning to run away again, are you?” Daniel Pan looked at Finn with suspicious eyes before he couldn’t help but ask.
“Uh, that’s a possibility.” Finn was taken aback. He didn’t expect Daniel to make this association, but it’s indeed very likely. Although there is no new mission currently, Finn has a premonition that a new mission will appear soon after the wedding. This mission might have something to do with the Galactic Federation. This is purely based on intuition. Otherwise, Zero wouldn’t suddenly ask Finn to get married.
“Hey, so, are you sure that there are really aliens?” Daniel asked curiously.
Although Finn had previously told them about it, everyone was still curious. Once Daniel asked this question, everyone turned their gazes upon him. Everyone in the room was their own person, so they could speak without reservation.
“Why would I lie about that? And do you realize that to them, we are the primitive ones? Although we say ‘aliens,’ the ones who rule the entire Heritage System are still humans like us. There are other species with advanced technology, but it’s still humans who really rule over the Heritage System.” Finn shook his head and, after a moment of thought, chose not to hide anything, speaking quite frankly.
“No wonder. Hey, when can we get a chance to look around? Do we have a chance in this lifetime?” Peak Blair shrugged and asked curiously.
“Certainly, you’ll all get the chance. Also, let me share a secret with you,” Finn said with a smile.
“What secret?” As Finn said it was a secret, they definitely didn’t know about it. They all knew about the existence of aliens, so what else might they not know? The crowd instantly grew curious.
“It’s nothing much once I say it, but I can guarantee that your lifetimes will be much longer, at least much longer than you could ever imagine,” Finn revealed with a smile. Everyone was surprised. What was he talking about?
Seeing their puzzled faces, Finn clarified his words, “Actually, it’s simple. The Galactic Federation, the nation that rules over the entire Heritage System, naturally has much more advanced technology than us, and similarly, their lifespans are much longer. These extended lifespans aren’t natural, but the result of human technological developments. In simpler terms, it’s due to Gene Optimization Fluid.” Finn revealed his next step prematurely here.
This point need not be mentioned because it will soon be announced nationally. When the time comes, everyone will know, or all the world will know. Now, he’s just revealing it to them in advance.
“Seriously? So, stuff from science fiction novels actually exists?” David Hale asked, somewhat surprised.
“What do you mean ‘from science fiction novels’? This Gene Optimization Fluid optimizes human genes, provides energy for human cells, and provides nutrition. As you probably know, our body cells, liver cells, for example, do not regenerate from birth to death, unlike skin cells that die quickly but also regenerate quickly. However, organs like the liver and brain do not regenerate, which leads to our limited lifespan,” Finn explained.
“The Gene Optimization Fluid first optimizes some shortcomings in our body, ensuring that we won’t get sick from genetic defects and keeping our cells healthy. Of course, that’s not to say that you absolutely won’t get sick after the optimization, but you definitely won’t suffer from any congenital diseases. Additionally, the Gene Optimization Fluid will activate some hidden abilities in our genes, such as slowly regenerating our internal organ cells and discharging them from our body through our internal circulation system. It’s a long process.”
“Finally, the food we intake gives our cells energy, slowing down their aging process, which will naturally greatly extend our lifespans.” Finn briefly introduced the function of Gene Optimization Fluid to everyone.
“That’s awesome. Well, I didn’t really understand, but if I can live longer, I’m happy,” Daniel said with a happy grin. “How much longer can our lifespans be extended?”
“Probably about 500 years on average.” After a brief thought, Finn gave a reasonable number. There will definitely be fluctuation in this number. Humans now live about seventy to eighty years, but some can live 120 to 130 years. The gap is forty to fifty years, and the difference is huge. So, when lifespans are extended to roughly 500 years, this gap will naturally be even larger.
