Chapter 960: Chapter 953: Laboratory
After two busy days, Inomata Naoki finally began enjoying his vacation. Summoning his courage, he asked Minami out, and the two went to a hotel on another island. They planned to spend so alone ti together while also clarifying the matters between them.
When Chen Yu learned about Inomata Naoki’s intentions, he was naturally very supportive. Generously, he even covered the hotel costs, upgrading Inomata Naoki’s original booking from a four-star hotel to a seven-star hotel.
Inomata Naoki was very grateful for Chen Yu’s sponsorship, but when Chen Yu, holding Hiromi Jounouchi in his arms, gave him a teasing look, Inomata Naoki almost wanted to tell them he’d pay for it himself. Being looked at like that by the couple made him really uncomfortable.
However, as he patted his wallet, the cost of a seven-star hotel silenced his protests.
Besides, for Inomata Naoki, he indeed wanted to sit down with Minami, undisturbed, and talk things through.
Standing on the pier, watching Inomata Naoki and Minami board the boat that ca to pick them up and leave, Chen Yu then started walking back with Hiromi Jounouchi.
“Honey, do you think Mr. Zhishu can clarify things with Minami?” Hiromi Jounouchi was still a bit worried about Inomata Naoki’s plan to settle things with Minami, concerned that their conversation might affect Chen Yu’s plan.
However, Chen Yu shook his head, unfazed by the potential disruption.
“Whether they resolve it or not isn’t a big deal. As long as there’s still an emotional bond between them, my plan won’t be disrupted.” With an arm around his wife’s shoulder as they walked toward the laboratory, Chen Yu appeared wholly in control. “After experiencing the dream mories of three lifetis, the relationship between Naoki and Minami has grown very strong. Even if they decide not to be together after talking things out, as long as I restore their mories, my objective can still be achieved.”
“But will it really work? It’s true they experienced three lifetis, but if it was just a dream, how strong can those mories be?” Hiromi Jounouchi understood the principles behind Chen Yu’s thods but was doubtful about the effectiveness of this approach.
For most people, dream mories aren’t very vivid. Dreams are often a foggy blur, and the vast majority of people forget what they dread about shortly after waking up. Even if they recall fragnts, the mories are scattered and fleeting, rarely leaving a aningful impact.
This is why people can wake up terrified from a nightmare or enchanted by a pleasant dream but forget all about it soon after waking, simply because their conscious minds never truly recorded those mories.
So even knowing that Inomata Naoki and Minami experienced three lifetis in a dream, Hiromi Jounouchi still doubted the depth of the emotions tied to those mories.
“Don’t worry. Even if the mories aren’t vivid, the emotions from those three lifetis are deep enough.” Unlike Hiromi Jounouchi, Chen Yu had no such concerns. His bigger worry was the divine conflict after his plan started.
Although Chen Yu had done extensive preparation, it was, after all, a war of deities. For wars in general, no amount of preparation ever seems enough—especially when the combatants are gods.
As for Inomata Naoki and Minami, the two had been under his control all along and posed no real trouble or threat to him.
Hearing this, Hiromi Jounouchi couldn’t say much more. She could only close her mouth and follow him into the laboratory, which was now nearly completed.
The surface portion of the lab looked like a half-buried circular UFO lodged into the mountain. The building had a sleek silver-gray structure with two levels of blue-tinted glass, making it an exceptionally striking sight.
This architectural design, with its touch of postmodern flair, made Chen Yu’s eyes light up. His satisfaction with the laboratory naturally increased a few notches.
Walking inside, the surface portion of the building wasn’t very large, spanning only a few hundred square ters. It consisted of a circular hall with one side featuring windows and the other solid walls.
However, since the lab wasn’t fully completed yet, the hall, though furnished, still looked rather sparse and chaotic.
Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi didn’t find this odd. Nearby workers were busy moving equipnt, and the place was bustling with activity.
Mackie, upon hearing that Chen Yu had arrived, promptly ca out of an elevator to greet them enthusiastically. “Welco, both of you! The place is still incomplete, so it’s a bit ssy. I apologize in advance. Madam, please watch your step.”
Noticing a nail sticking out of the floor, Mackie was about to warn Hiromi Jounouchi, who was barefoot and wearing only slippers, to be careful. But before he could say anything, she stepped directly on the nail without flinching. To Mackie’s astonishnt, instead of injuring her, the nail bent under her step.
This made Mackie’s eyelid twitch. No one had told him that Chen Yu’s wife was also a powerful Transcendent!
Fortunately, this didn’t hinder Mackie’s hospitality. He quickly continued introducing them to the lab. “This is the reception hall of the lab. Once everything is completed, this area will be used to receive visitors. The offices are upstairs, while the experintal zones are located underground. This way, in case of leaks or accidents, it will be easier to contain the situation.”
Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction at the design but curiously asked, “Placing the lab underground makes sense, but wouldn’t it also cause so inconveniences?”
“Regarding that, it’s better if I show you in person. Please follow .” Mackie felt that letting the couple see for themselves would explain things better than words. “We have installed four elevators in total. One is a large freight elevator for transporting experintal animals or equipnt. Two are standard passenger elevators.
The last one is a backup elevator. In case of ergencies where the other three elevators malfunction, it can evacuate personnel and critical equipnt. Though it’s more of a lift than an elevator, as it goes directly up to the rooftop helipad and operates via a hydraulic system.”
Mackie led Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi into one of the elevators, pressed the down button, and continued explaining. “The underground portion of the lab is located twenty ters below sea level and deeply rooted in the bedrock to ensure structural stability. There’s no need to worry about any issues with the construction. We’ve also accounted for natural disasters like earthquakes and typhoons. The lab can withstand earthquakes up to magnitude 7 and typhoons up to category 10 without any problems.”
As Mackie finished, the elevator doors opened onto the underground experintal layer, unveiling the entire laboratory to Chen Yu.
