Chapter 23 - 28: The Path of Life
In the deep of night, at 408, Building 2, Yunjin Road, Saige Tower Technology Industrial Park, Puluo District of Yin City.
This is a standalone three-story building styled in an antique fashion, with whitewashed walls and green tiles, intricately carved beams, and painted rafters on the outside, while the inside is classically furnished, brimming with antiquity and elegance.
Li Cheng sat in the third-floor office, looking out the window.
In the past few hours, he had followed Zhangsun Yao to visit the Yin City branches of numerous organizations.
The solutions offered by Prometheus Company did not include a complete cure. The conditions provided by other organizations weren't much different.
Derek Acheson, the research director of Gen-Sys Biotech Company, stated that their latest gene suppressor could confidently extend Li Cheng's life to six months.
The price was that Li Cheng needed to sign a contract, ceding his personal rights to the GS Company in his final stage of life, allowing them to perform a series of experiments on him, including live dissection and drug testing.
A guild called Thousand Throats Beast, specializing in selling monster magic pets, offered to turn Li Cheng into a Corpse Demon, leaving something for his family to remember him by and to serve as a bodyguard.
A guild called Demon Scientist Alliance proposed extracting Li Cheng's soul to create a long-term preservable soul crystal, at the cost of being permanently trapped in a container, unable to interact with the outside world.
Relatively speaking, the most reliable was a guild named Whale Song, specialists in computer and electronic information technology.
Their latest technology could scan and upload part of a person's consciousness, achieving a form of "electronic immortality" in some sense.
