The Memoirs of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 156
Doctor Octopus and Professor Lizard sat in the cabin of the helicopter, looking at the magnificent blue-black sea outside the porthole.

The extremely low dark clouds looked extremely ominous, and the bucket-thick thunder was woven into a net, constantly falling down, and even passing by the tail of the helicopter, the gloomy bright beams entered the porthole, reflecting Octavius The doctor's round face.

Even though these two were brave people, they were still a little terrified in the face of the furious celestial phenomena. They couldn't help holding on to the armrests tightly, sweating on the tip of their tongues and sweating on their backs, for fear that a thunderbolt would strike and destroy the entire plane.

It's not that Doctor Octopus and Professor Lizard thought of taking the opportunity to hold Li Ang hostage and seize control of the helicopter. Fortunately, their premonition stopped them and they didn't do anything stupid.

Finally, after several transfers, Dr. Octopus and Professor Lizard arrived in this academy city.

Judging from the sky, the Academy City, which has just established several school districts, already looks extremely spectacular. Countless skyscrapers have sprung up to serve the mutant students living here.

Not only that, Academy City, as an emerging city jointly fed by the federal government, chaebols, and private forces, has complete and advanced infrastructure.

Professor Charles, as a model of growing old, firmly maintains the good habit of capitalists not to eat alone. He has established partnerships with industry giants such as Stark Industries, Osborne Industries, and Lex Group, and introduced many advanced inventions that are still in the laboratory stage. .

For example, a large number of aerial rail trains using suspended carriages have been put into commercial operation. Those empty rails made of new composite materials and woven around high-rise buildings are just like the description in "A Fang Gong Fu".

In addition, the OLED flexible screen newly developed by the Lex Group has entered Academy City in a big way. The billboards on the surface of the building, the indicators of subway public facilities, and even the screens of commercial mobile phones distributed to students for free are all occupied by OLEDs.

In spite of his busy schedule, Professor Charles did not forget to leave the honorary positions of the coordinating council members for Tony Stark, Norman Osborn and Lex Luthor, in order to thank them for their contribution to the Academy City infrastructure project. of course, except for a certain bald guy named Lex Luthor, the rest of the two are not interested in the position of honorary director.

Thanks to the lenient attitude of the federal government, Academy City is like a test field for major technology companies to test their own products, and all technology products that are several years or even more than ten years ahead of the outside world can be found here.

Not only that, but as a base for studying mutant abilities, countless special laboratories have sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain. Those laboratories with awkward names and looking extremely noble recruited a large number of elites in the field of scientific research from outside, and the prices offered were astonishing. , and the fields involved are all-encompassing.

It is foreseeable that in the next decade or so, Academy City, which seems to be becoming a scientific research center on the east coast of the United States, will maintain its isolation and advancement.

Before Dr. Octopus and Professor Lizard finished admiring the night view of the city, the plane had already parked on the rooftop of a certain school.

"This is the teaching building of the Xavier Academy for Gifted Children in the first school district of Academy City. Every plant, tree, brick and tile here has been relocated from the original address."

Li Ang got off the plane and said casually: "Academy City adopts a system of separate school districts. Each school district has one or even several schools, including elementary schools, junior high schools, high schools, and universities, which are used to teach the knowledge and culture that mutant teenagers should have. Mutants' ability to manipulate and use."

Doctor Octopus stood on the edge of the rooftop, looking at the prosperous night view of the city, took a deep breath, turned around and said, "It's a shocking sight, it seems that I have indeed been in prison for a long time."

"Isn't the current era like this? It's changing with each passing day and changing endlessly." Li Ang smiled and snapped his fingers, and the steel shackles binding their fingers and necks shattered.

Under the suspicious eyes of Dr. Octopus and Professor Lizard, Li Ang said indifferently: "If there is nothing else, I will go to the meeting of the Coordinating Council. Someone will lead the two of you to carry out the induction work later."

"Aren't you afraid that we will run away?" Professor Lizard looked at the shattered collar fragments, twisted his thick neck, and made a clicking sound.

"Hehe, Academy City is the science and technology research and development center of the future federation. It is definitely a pity to leave this place for two scientific researchers with deep enthusiasm for knowledge."

Li Ang said with a smile: "And as a modern city, there are quite reliable security forces here."

He didn't explain who the security guards were, but Professor Octopus and Dr. Lizard didn't intend to test the edge of crime for the time being, and followed the reception staff obediently into the teaching building.

First of all, the two ushered in a very detailed physical examination.Physical examination items include but are not limited to liver function, blood sugar, blood lipids, kidney function, abdominal B-ultrasound, blood and urine routine, etc. This is mainly to detect abnormalities in their bodies.

When the tedious physical examination of the project was over, the two were exhausted and miserable. Just about to sit down for a rest, the door of the lounge was opened, and a mutant who looked like a blue-haired gorilla walked in from the door.

This person is the former faculty member of Xavier Academy for Gifted Children, Professor Henry Philip McCoy.

Nicknamed "The Beast", he is covered with blue hair, has a strong body, a hulking back, thick hands and feet, and the arms exposed from under the suit match the thighs of ordinary people. The muscle lines with obvious lines are even more exaggerated than that of a bodybuilding trainer. .

"Dr. Octavius, Professor Connors, good evening. My name is Henry McCoy, and you may call me Hank."

Although Hank looks rough, he is actually a gentle intellectual in essence. He speaks elegantly and has a good demeanor, "Please follow me, and I will take you to the faculty welcome ceremony."

"Uh what?" Dr. Octopus was a little surprised, and said confusedly: "Didn't Mr. Li Ang tell me that Professor Connors and I joined here as scientific researchers?"

"That's right." Hank pushed the square-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said gently: "But Academy City currently recruits a large number of mutant teenagers, and there is an urgent shortage of teaching staff, and Academy City is a Huge educational institutions still need to be education-oriented. The two can serve as university lecturers, leading scientific research projects and occasionally giving students a few lectures."
