Chapter 44: Miki Daido!

Base, in the reception room.

"What we need from Consortium X is not just violence and destructiveness, but the ability to create the future."

"We are very interested in your product. Could you please share the principle and design with our technicians so that we can participate in the development?"

“Of course, the costs of development and research are funded by us.”

"We are planning to cut the museum's funding in half and transfer it to your project."

Jia Toushun looked at Fang Yi with a pair of dead fish eyes, picked up the spoon with his right hand and wanted to scoop a sip of hot black tea, but halfway through, the spoon slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, everyone has become accustomed to his abstraction.

Fang Yi looked calm. Jia Toushun's suggestion was exactly what he wanted, but of course he couldn't show it. Instead, he said:
“Although I am not optimistic about the long-term development of my museum, I am now a partner in the museum’s memory project after all. It would not be a good idea if the memory project is short of funds because of my product development.”

Jia Toushun thought for a moment and said, "Okay, in that case, I will apply for an additional sum of money to support you. How about that?"

Of course, he had his own considerations in satisfying Fang Yi's request.

Consortium X funds various projects all over the world, with the main purpose of absorbing various technologies and strengthening itself.

The reason why the Never Immortal Project was abandoned by Consortium X was, firstly, because its effects and side effects were too great, and secondly, the biggest reason was that Consortium X had already mastered the technology of the immortals, and Da Dao Ke Ji's group was no longer of any use.

The same is true for museums now. The foundation has gradually acquired the ability to independently develop memory.

But the problem is that the power of the museum has grown uncontrollably, and Ryubey is no longer the poor archaeologist he once was. He uses the entire Kaze as an experimental field, and his ambitions are far greater than Dr. Prospect's, and his abilities are also quite tricky.

If they cut funding directly like they did when they abandoned the Never project, it would be inevitable that Ryubey would retaliate like Daido Katsuki, which would once again cause significant losses to the foundation.

The appearance of Fang Yi just solved Jia Toushun's concerns.

By supporting Fang Yi as a chess piece, the museum can be checked and balanced, and it can be disintegrated bit by bit.

At the same time, you can gain Fang Yi's unprecedented technology.

After listening to Jia Toushun's proposal, Fang Yi nodded: "Okay, I will accept your kindness, and we will cooperate in development together."

Jia Toushun forced a laugh, his expressionless face looked like he was making a face when he laughed: "It's a pleasure to work with you. I'll have someone draw up a contract later."

"Although you are currently in a cooperative relationship with the museum, once your product is launched on the market, it will inevitably compete with memory. By then, I wonder who among you can transform Fengdu to the greatest extent and turn it into the beautiful utopia in the concept of the consortium. It is really exciting."

Although he said this, Jia Toushun was thinking in his heart that no matter who wins, they will eventually become puppets of the consortium.

In his eyes, Fang Yi was nothing more than a chess piece that could be used.

Fang Yi smiled faintly and took a sip of tea: "Well, I am also looking forward to future developments."

Of course he knew what Jia Toushun was planning at the moment, and this was exactly what he wanted and even deliberately guided. It was still unknown who would use whom in the end!
Jiatou continued, "By the way, Dr. Prospect just told me that because most of the laboratories were destroyed by Never, he plans to abandon this base and move to another place." "Soon he will activate the electromagnetic pulse weapon under our feet to clean up the village below, and the experimental subjects and Nevers in the captivity will be reduced to ashes."

"If you are interested, you can find a better spot and enjoy the magnificent fireworks."

"What?" Kirihiko was shocked and angry when he heard what Katoshun said. "I just saw that there are still children in the village below. Using them for experiments is already despicable. Are you going to kill them now?"

Jia Toushun looked up at Kirihiko with cold eyes, "Huh? What a surprise, there is a naive guy like you in the museum.

"Whether it's Never, Memory, or Super Warrior, the sacrifices of children in these projects are all for the purpose of exploring the next step of evolution. They will become the cornerstone for the consortium to use these technologies to realize the ultimate utopia!"

Kirihiko knew that he had neither the qualifications nor the strength to argue with Katoshun, so he just shut up.

After finishing the conversation with Jia Toushun, Fang Yi and Wu Yan walked out of the living room and came to the corridor.

“Sure enough, whether it’s the museum or Foundation X, they’re all birds of a feather…” Sonosaki Kirihiko slammed the wall hard with his hand.

"Children are the future of Fuuto. I will never allow anyone to cruelly wipe out the future."

He had known through investigation that the museum sold memories to children in order to obtain experimental data, but he had never been willing to believe it.

At this moment, Kirihiko's heart was cold and desperate: "You once said that I should recognize the true face of the museum by myself. Now I finally understand what you mean."

"It is precisely because I used to be a grassroots of the Sonosaki family that I have long realized the disappointing side of the museum." Fang Yi's expression remained calm, "So, I chose to start my own business. It won't be long before my products will appear out of nowhere and replace memory for circulation in Fuudu. Then, Fuudu will be turned into an incredibly happy city."

"Really?" Wu Yan looked at Fang Yi seriously, "I think you have your own selfish motives. You want to replace the Sonosaki family and build a new empire in Fuuto, but you just say it in a more high-sounding way."

Fang Yi smiled without hesitation: "Yes, what's the problem?"

"Leading Fengdu to evolve and satisfying my own selfish desires are not contradictory. Can't we do both at the same time?"

"I mean both of these things sincerely. It won't be long before I can make Wind City a place that evil cannot infect, while realizing my own desires and freedom."

After hearing Fang Yi's frank words, Wu Yan felt inexplicably touched.

Not to mention the actions of the museum and Foundation X, even if he wanted to stop Dr. Prospect's plan to massacre the village, he was completely powerless at the moment, as if he had walked into a dark dead end.

And now, he suddenly understood that there was an answer to the problem right in front of him!

His wavering belief finally became firm. It is definitely not the Sonosaki family that can bring the future to Fuuto!
"I finally figured it out." Kirihiko suddenly stood in front of Fang Yi seriously and respectfully, "I want to resign from the Sonosaki family and work in your museum! Please give me a chance, Director Fang Yi."

Fang Yi looked at him directly and said, "Okay, but it's not that easy to be my employee. You must pass the assessment."

He turned his head and looked towards the south of the jungle: "How about this, I'll give you your first job. Go in that direction and find someone. Her name is Daido Miki!"
