Ye Hai smiled and said, "Miss Stacey, I'm really good at organizing data; it's my specialty. You don't need to be jealous!"
"When have I ever been jealous?" Gwen's expression darkened. "Are you trying to show off? I don't believe you can be that much faster than me."
"If you don't believe it, feel free to test me!" Ye Hai replied confidently.
"Of course!"
Gwen shot a sideways glance at Ye Hai, wanting to make him look bad. She deliberately presented some very complex data and mathematical equations. To her surprise, Ye Hai responded effortlessly, never pausing for a moment. In fact, he was able to analyze the original data's shortcomings and began to optimize it, ultimately arriving at better data and equations.
"This, this..." Gwen looked at Ye Hai as though he were a monster. After a while, she finally said despondently, "Mr. Ye, you are indeed very impressive. It seems I might be out of a job!"
Out of a job?
Ye Hai chuckled in disbelief; he didn't expect this somewhat uptight girl to make a joke. As Dr. Connor's capable assistant, Gwen knew that if Dr. Connor found Ye Hai to be more competent for the job, it wouldn't mean she would lose her position. There was plenty of work to go around in this lab.
"Miss Stacey, would you like me to send you unemployment benefits?" Ye Hai joked.
Gwen shrugged nonchalantly, "If you have that ability, I wouldn't mind just coming over for a meal!"
"You want me to treat you? No problem at all; I'd be happy to take a pretty girl out for dinner!"
Ye Hai smiled as he looked into Gwen's eyes. Her sapphire-like eyes were so deep and mysterious, making him curious to explore further.
"Are you trying to woo me?" Gwen smiled lightly and perceptively pointed out Ye Hai's intentions, her sapphire eyes twinkling as she said, "I could give you a chance. Honestly, I'm quite curious about you!"
The straightforwardness of Westerners caught Ye Hai by surprise. He hadn't expected her to agree so quickly, which made him feel a bit out of his depth. Odd thoughts crossed his mind—perhaps this Western girl had already been in many relationships.
"Sure! I'll do my best!" Ye Hai replied enthusiastically.
"You have such outstanding talents. You need to notify Dr. Connor immediately to let him know."
Gwen activated the internal communicator and explained Ye Hai's situation to Dr. Connor. He arrived shortly after and tested Ye Hai again, confirming Gwen's claims. He was thrilled.
"Ye, I never expected you to have such talent. I think having you organize data is a waste of your abilities. How about studying interspecies genetics together with me? Are you willing?"
Dr. Connor looked at Ye Hai hopefully, clearly eager for a quick response. Ye Hai naturally agreed without hesitation, "No problem, Dr. Connor!"
"Beep! The host has gained the favor of the renowned scientist Dr. Connor and has entered the core experiment, for which the system rewards 100 scientific points."
Hearing the system's voice filled Ye Hai with surprise, and he quickly asked, "System, what are the ways to earn scientific points?"
"There are many. Mainly, first, the host completes tasks assigned by the system. Second, achieves accomplishments in science. Third, increases the host's reputation, like now, receiving recognition from a famous scientist!"
"Reputation?" Ye Hai pondered for a moment and then said, "If I publish a paper in a famous scientific journal, will I also earn scientific points?"
"Yes, the system rewards points based on the paper's impact and significance."
Ye Hai's thinking was remarkably rapid at the moment, and though their conversation seemed lengthy, they hadn't spent even a second on it.
Gwen felt a touch of jealousy at Ye Hai suddenly being given Dr. Connor's attention. This man, only a few years older than her, completely outclassed her in IQ, which made her pride take a hit. At the same time, she found herself increasingly curious about him, perhaps even feeling a budding affection, although she hadn't yet recognized this feeling within herself.
"We have protein structures, ribosomal DNA, chromatographic analysis, and transgenic testing. That is an X-ray imager, the only one of its kind in the world."
As Dr. Connor took Ye Hai through various security checks to the core laboratory, he introduced the equipment along the way.
"Human lineage identification device." Ye Hai pointed to a piece of equipment. "I've seen this before!"
"The Ganali Device!" Dr. Connor glanced at it and explained, "The principle is simple; you load an antigen onto it, and the reaction cloud it generates can cover a nearby area or even an entire city. Theoretically, you could use it to cure all cases of polio in a city in just one afternoon."
"That's quite a nice piece of equipment," Ye Hai said casually after examining it. "But if someone misuses it by loading a toxic substance into this machine, that would be disastrous for the city."
Dr. Connor laughed, "Don't worry; the core activation device of this equipment is strictly safeguarded. Only a limited number of people have the authority to use it, so your concerns are minimal."
Ye Hai rolled his eyes inwardly, thinking, "You're the one I worry about the most!"
In *The Ultimate Spider-Man*, Dr. Connor used this device to release the lizard virus over the city, turning almost everyone into lizards. Seeing this potentially harmful device made Ye Hai anxious, but with his current abilities, he felt utterly powerless.
