The Gentleman at the End-Chapter 729 - 727: Recruiting People

The earliest impression that William and Lorrian had of the duke’s "castle" was essentially a combination of a throne and a convenience store; they never imagined the castle could unfold in such a manner.

"The number of esteemed guests the duke has allowed to stay in the castle does not exceed twenty throughout history. May I ask if you require separate rooms, or will you be sharing?"

"Miss Jessica, would you mind staying with us? It would be easier to discuss some internal matters."

This question caused Jessica to tilt her head in confusion, "Huh? Haven’t we been sharing rooms all along our journey?"

"That’s fine... Just arrange a four-person shared suite for us. Oh, and we might be back late tonight to check in, as we have a friend here in Lu Pu. We’re going to visit him tonight and might invite him to participate in the Moon Creation Project."

"Is the friend Mr. William mentioned Reagan Ludwig?"

"Does Mr. Golden Mask know him?"

"The duke has already met this gentleman during a visit to the Black Worm headquarters, giving him a very high evaluation and granting him the same status of premier customer as you have been given.

As a human, Mr. Reagan’s ability to be acknowledged and given the legacy of the Neisseria brain substance by those stubborn ’old guys’ is truly remarkable.

If Mr. Reagan is going to come, then I will directly arrange a five-person suite for you."

"Let’s not rush this, and besides, Reagan is very particular about his privacy. He won’t share a room with us."

Lorrian was listening attentively at the side and caught some keywords, "Neisseria brain substance... William, is this Reagan friend the human you mentioned before who excels at research and whom you wanted to introduce to me?"

"Exactly. Let’s head there now. Reagan’s abilities might just complement your Moon Creation Project."

The four had not yet fully approached the Black Worm headquarters when William felt a sensation in his abdomen; the Abyss Black Worms that writhed in the deepest depths of his inner abyss seemed to resonate with some special substance within the headquarters.

"Hm? Reagan hasn’t already developed some new technology for the Black Worm headquarters, has he?"

...

Black Worm headquarters - Technology Research Department

Although Reagan was merely an external technician, after several months of collaboration, the research team had come to hold him in very high regard.

Currently, a breakthrough had been made in a new type of transference technology, called the "Black Core," which was created using unique ’modeling skills’ provided by Reagan along with the ancient technology bestowed by the Neisseria Ones.

Although still in the laboratory stage, it was already capable of conducting the most basic material transmissions.

If its stability can be further improved, the device could potentially be expanded and tested at several sites.

After preliminary estimates by the company, once the technology is fully deployed, the Black Worm Company’s transference efficiency is expected to increase by over 1000%, potentially even shaking the longstanding dominance of the "Redundant Intestine Company."

Tonight, the final round of stability tests was underway when the normally stable detector suddenly spiked tens of times over the warning threshold.

At the moment the alarm went off,

four people crawled out of a funnel-shaped biological device in an instant, landing right inside the laboratory.

"As I thought, your research is indeed swift, creating something like this with the seven Abyss Black Worms I left behind. Reagan, long time no see!"

Reagan was startled, "William, what are you doing here! Wait a moment, the device seems to have undergone some changes due to your arrival; I need to document this."

The other researchers present also recognized William, as he was a prestigious guest personally received by their boss.

However, one person standing next to William made them break out in sweat, tremble uncontrollably, and even have Black Worm Parasites burrowing out of several parts of their bodies.

Just then,

the door to the laboratory was flung open dramatically,

The "President," the original Holy Nest Protozoa, Burn Douglas, arrived promptly. The reason was straightforward: he sensed the instinctual panic of his employees.

President Burn appeared as usual,

with an extremely bulky upper body and thin legs that seemed hardly capable of supporting his weight, and his face fashioned like an empty nest, inhabited by a Parasite with a crown-like structure growing from its head.

He immediately locked onto the source of the panic, Nash.

"William, could this be the special Parasite from the circus... the Amoeba Brain-eating Worm?"

As Nash looked at the President in front of him, his bloodline seemed to be activated, and his chest immediately straightened up as if he were in the presence of a king.

He then relied on a feeling of disgust towards Parasites to suppress this sensation of bloodline Sensing.

William spoke directly, "Nash, President Burn seems to think highly of you. Why don’t you stay here and communicate with the president during this period? Anyway, you can’t help with the creation of the Moon.

When we are ready to leave Lorrian, we will call you to come with us."

"If it’s a mission from the Boss, I’ll stay. To tell the truth, I don’t really like being a Parasite."

"President Burn is not a conservative and stubborn person, you’ll get used to it.

Moreover, you should learn as much as you can from President Burn, striving to master some of the ancient parasitic abilities that were once passed down among the Holy Nest. After all, sometimes we need you to Parasite within me or Yi Chen.

From what I can see right now, your parasitic Skills are still quite rough."

Upon hearing this, Nash immediately became obedient, straightened his back, and saluted William, "I certainly won’t disappoint the Boss."

President Burn stood at the door observing, actually quite shocked as well. The former Source Epidemic Area, the "Parasite Main Hive," gathered all Parasites from the Old World.

Although there were a few who did not rely on Hosts, most of them had difficulty in becoming independent, and many were not accepted by their own kind.

He had never before seen an independent Parasite like Nash, who also emitted such a powerful Aura.

William also bowed in a gentlemanly manner, "Mr. Burn, I will be entrusting Nash to your care for the next few days."

"Hmm, are you not going to introduce your other friends?"

"This is the deputy chief physician of Teeth Hall—Jessica. She is with us for some personal reasons, and this is..."

As William was thinking about how to introduce Lorrian, the latter took the initiative to bow and introduce himself,

"Lorrian, like William, I come from the human World. Coincidentally, my birth is directly related to the Moon, and I’m honored to meet the Holy Nest Protozoa."

"New Moon Origin, excellent! What brings you here in the middle of the night?"

William took over, "First, to fulfill the promise we made to you, Mr. President, to bring Nash to meet you. Second, we have some matters to discuss with Reagan."

Burn also smiled in response, "Reagan is currently overseeing a core project of our company; just make sure you don’t poach him from us."

"Just a little talk, Mr. President, don’t worry."

President Burn didn’t linger for long, leading Nash away to undertake a unique Parasite communication, even immediately arranging a ’Brain Banquet’ to entertain the Brain-eating Worm.

Inside the laboratory.

Reagan was not communicating with anyone for the moment, as he stood at the entrance of the tunnel everyone had just climbed out from, conducting various tests and recordings.

"As expected... this transmission equipment seems to be based on biology, but no matter how much we alter it, there’s no erasing its connection to the Abyss, allowing you, William, to easily transmit from outside."

He murmured to himself while recording data, with others patiently waiting.

Lorrian also opened his Moon Eyes to take a good look at this human being, whose body was almost replaced with metal, on the brink of Mechanical Ascension, and nodded repeatedly.

An entire hour passed before Reagan set down his experimental record book.

"Sorry for the wait! I promised Mr. Burn to handle this project; as long as I can see it through, I and the old guys supporting me will be able to enjoy all the company’s privileges and transportation rights for free.

And he will also provide comprehensive assistance with my personal enhancements.

So, what brings you to me so late?"

"We also have a project on our hands, which is being conducted over a period of 3 to 5 days within the Duke’s castle. Would you be interested in joining us?"

"What project?"

"Creating the Moon... Your expertise, Reagan, might help us improve the Moon’s Stability, or even try adding some metal elements to it. This matter is very important to me, please."

Slap!

Reagan’s metal palm slapped onto William’s, and he whispered near the ear, "I’ve heard that there’s a Redundant Intestine Company’s direct restaurant in Lu Pu that serves the infamous Nine-Turned Intestine. Treat me to that, and I’ll help you."

"Let’s go! Eat!"
