"It seems the General has already guessed."
The company's envoy wore a smile.
"These two injections are a new generation of Super Soldier Serum, produced by the company after making certain improvements to residual data from the World War II'Super Soldier Project.'"
"Although it's impossible to create injections identical to Captain America's due to severe data loss."
"These two injections can still double the physical capabilities of the injected personnel!"
The envoy struggled to suppress his inner desire for the injections; although the items were good, he dared not take them by force.
He absolutely did not dare to provoke the immense power of the company.
"Really?"
"Is this truly the Super Soldier Serum?"
"The one... the Super Soldier Serum Captain America used in World War II?"
William Stryker's face first showed shock, followed by... unbridled ecstasy.
Super Soldier Serum! Even before his promotion to brigadier general, William Stryker knew very well that many institutions within the US Military were secretly researching Super Soldier Serum, but almost all had yielded meager results.
As far as he knew, Brigadier General Ross was researching this very thing.
Yet, he never expected that this company, which had only been established for half a year but had already expanded its influence across the World, would actually succeed in researching it!
This was insane; a military defense company achieving something more impressive than a specialized biochemical company, how incredible! But who cared what its primary business was!
William Stryker only knew that even if this item could only double the physical capabilities of the injectee, it was still an incredibly awesome thing!
If his entire unit were injected with this serum, defeating Mutants would be as easy as playing a game...
"Of course."
"What the company researches, once it states a certain level will be achieved, it will certainly be accomplished."
Seeing the change in William Stryker's expression, the company's envoy smiled with a sense of pride, then immediately straightened his face, becoming serious.
"However!"
"Because the data itself was incomplete."
"Therefore, even this imperfect injection that was researched still has some flaws."
"According to internal testing by the company, anyone injected with this serum will basically not only fail to increase their lifespan but may even have their lifespan reduced by five to ten years!"
"In other words, if a person could originally live to one hundred years old."
"But after this person is injected with this serum, although his physical capabilities will double."
"He will not live longer because of this item; in fact, he will live shorter than his original lifespan."
"A reduction in lifespan by five to ten years means that if he originally would have died at one hundred, he will now die between ninety and ninety-five years old!"
The company's envoy explained with a serious expression.
The company is a responsible company that does not exaggerate the advantages of its products, nor does it conceal their disadvantages...
"What kind of flaw is this!"
"Compared to a doubling of physical capabilities, this flaw is completely insignificant!"
William Stryker didn't care about this flaw at all.
A reduction of five to ten years in lifespan? It's a joke; how many ordinary people can truly know how long they will live? Various natural disasters, accidents, birth, aging, sickness, and Death—who knows whether the apocalypse or tomorrow will arrive first.
On the battlefield, even if you could originally live for ten thousand years, a single bullet would end it.
Moreover, William Stryker's subordinates are specifically trained to deal with Mutants.
As long as it can enhance their ability to capture Mutants, let alone five or ten years, even if it meant reducing their lifespan by twenty or thirty years, William Stryker would dare to inject his subordinates with these serums!
"These injections..."
"How can I obtain them in large quantities?"
After calming his excited emotions, William Stryker began to consider the subsequent operations.
After all, it was just a serum that could double a person's strength; even the strongest soldier, after injection, would not become a superhuman like Captain America. He would still be unable to defeat a Mutant in a one-on-one fight, so there was nothing to be overly excited about.
However, although the individual improvement from this item wasn't very significant, once it formed a large scale, it would be extremely powerful.
"Since you are one of us, we naturally have a certain free quota."
The company's envoy smiled faintly, unafraid that he wouldn't be interested.
"Of course, due to cost reasons, the free injections are limited to one hundred per year."
"After all, General William Stryker, you should also know that our company's sphere of influence spans the entire World."
"This basic welfare is provided free of charge in many places, which leads to a slight shortage of supply."
"However, obtaining more later should not be a problem for you, General."
"The company gave me instructions before I came."
"Mutant serums of different abilities can be exchanged for corresponding, different quantities of the one-time strength-enhancing serum injections."
"According to the company's regulations, we also differentiate based on Mutant Level classification (Mutant classification levels)."
"An ordinary Mutant serum, also known as a Level 1 Mutant serum, can be exchanged for one enhancement injection."
"Level 2 Mutant Serum can be exchanged for ten Enhancement injection."
"Level 3 Mutant Serum can be exchanged for one hundred Enhancement injection."
"Level 4 Mutant Serum can be exchanged for one thousand Enhancement injection."
"As for Level 5 Mutant… the Company didn't explicitly state it, only saying that providing the coordinates of a Level 5 Mutant would allow for the exchange of ten thousand Enhancement injection!"
William Stryker listened intently.
When he heard that a Level 5 Mutant only required coordinates to obtain ten thousand Enhancement injection, he immediately grinned.
Others might not know why, but how could William Stryker, who considered Mutants his lifelong enemies, not know? Level 3 Mutants were already capable of causing destruction to organized troops, and Level 4 Mutants could inflict devastating blows on an entire army.
Level 5 Mutants were simply beyond the human army's ability to handle! It was clear that the Company's understanding of Mutants was no less than his, and perhaps even much stronger, after all, the Company had its own Mutant Special Operations Team.
Or, when the Company's first mission failed, what they faced might have been… a Level 5 Mutant. William Stryker knew that Professor, as a Level 4 Mutant, suffered a secret loss at the Base and didn't dare to retaliate.
This was enough to prove that the party capable of making the Company fail must be stronger than a Level 4 Mutant… "Of course,"
"Besides Mutants, other groups such as Inhumans, Ability Userss, and so on, can all exchange for corresponding injection at the Company according to this standard."
"In addition to these free exchanges, General, you can also directly purchase them online at the Company's official website store."
"However, compared to serum exchange, purchasing directly with money will be very expensive."
"Hmm…"
"General William Stryker is one of us now, so there will be a certain discount for direct purchases."
"At least, it will be much cheaper than for those outside the Company's faction."
The Company's dispatched personnel didn't know what William Stryker was thinking; he was just diligently doing his job.
"Alright!"
"Thank you for the information!"
William Stryker smiled and nodded.
He didn't know the cost of these items, but he knew that scarcity drove up value.
Certain secret agencies within the US Military and other consortiums' secret organizations were researching this very thing.
However, their research products were not for sale, and even if they were, they couldn't match the quality of the Company's injection.
Compared to those 'defective serums' that could boost abilities multiple times but quickly led to death due to genetic chain collapse, the Company's 'one-time Enhancement injection' with a side effect of only a few years' reduced lifespan could barely be called a side effect at all.
In this situation, anyone who wasn't an idiot would know that this type of injection would truly not be cheap!… The 'Bluetooth earphones' in the other briefcase were actually high-tech 'miniature mind control blockers'.
In William Stryker's eyes, these items were quite expensive to produce, which was why they had only ever been used by the human elite.
Of course, in White's eyes, these were just mass-producible junk.
There wasn't much to introduce about these items; the Company's dispatched personnel completed their task of preliminary contact with William Stryker after a brief introduction.
At William Stryker's strong invitation, the dispatched personnel had a simple meal at the Base, then returned to the Company with a briefcase containing some Mutant serums that William Stryker had given back to the Company.
The Company had given him some things; William Stryker couldn't be stingy, could he?… Half a month later, William Stryker finished taking over his newly assigned subordinates and authority.
A month later, after William Stryker used the Enhancement injection exchanged from some Mutant serums stored in the Base to strengthen all his direct subordinates, he was in high spirits, preparing to launch a major operation against the Mutant School.
"Report!"
"General, Air Force Brigadier General Ross is visiting!"
A lieutenant guard ran in, saluted William Stryker, and shouted.
"Ross?"
"What is he doing here?"
William Stryker frowned.
It quickly occurred to William Stryker that Ross also had a Super Soldier Serum research facility under his command.
While most people didn't know about the 'one-time Enhancement injection,' Ross was clearly not an ordinary person.
The fact that William Stryker had exchanged for a large quantity of Enhancement injection was no secret, so it wasn't strange for Ross to seek him out.
