Early in the morning, Andy was busy in the lab. He and Stark had already reached a cooperation agreement last night.
Once Stark's company completed its transformation, they could establish a new company.
The reason Andy was so busy now was that he was manufacturing a technical product that had been unlocked long ago: the Ignis Ignis.
He had already manufactured over a dozen Ignis Ignis, but the quantity was still insufficient.
A complete Ignis Ignis requires ten Ignis Ignis to synthesize.
And the Ignis that Andy wanted to create required two Ignis Ignis to manufacture.
The reason for manufacturing Ignis was not because Andy had a sudden whim, but because his darkroom was almost full of Vampires.
Among them, there were only a dozen true pure-blood Vampires; the rest were mixed-blood Vampires.
For studying Vampires, pure-blood Vampires could still bring some surprises to Andy.
Those mixed-blood Vampires not only had nothing worth Andy researching, but they also came in large groups.
So Andy planned to manufacture Ignis and directly burn those Vampires that would be sent later and were of no use.
The thousand-plus Vampires in his darkroom were enough for Andy to research for a while.
As for Osborn, he was probably also troubled by the large number of Vampires.
The Vampires captured by Hunter's Tavern were not only sent to Orokin Technology; Osborn Group also received quite a few Vampires.
Although Vampires were excellent experimental materials, too many of them was also a problem.
Just as Andy was manufacturing the Ignis Ignis, Orokin Technology's receptionist opened Andy's communication.
"President, Mr. Hong and his friends are waiting for you in the lobby downstairs. He said you asked them to come yesterday."
Hearing the receptionist's call, Andy thought back.
He had indeed asked Old Hong to come yesterday. That young man named Zheng Shangqi had been attacked by a Vampire, became infected, and was bedridden with a severe illness.
"Alright, bring them to the top-floor lab. I promised to help them with the treatment."
He casually said a sentence and then cut off the communication.
He now only had two Ignis Ignis left to manufacture, so it seemed he needed to speed up. He also had to treat Zheng Shangqi later.
The manufacturing bay operated quickly, and green explosive fuel was injected into the spherical container.
The last two Ignis Ignis were quickly manufactured. As Andy closed the manufacturing bay, Old Hong and the others followed the receptionist into the lab.
"President, the people have been brought. I'll go back to work now."
He bowed slightly to Andy and then turned to leave the top-floor lab.
In the lab, Andy looked at Old Hong in front of him, and the two men carrying a stretcher behind him.
He pointed to the young man lying on the stretcher and said, "Is he the seriously ill Zheng Shangqi?"
Old Hong said with a chuckle, "Let me introduce you. These two are my good friends of many years. We jointly opened that fast-food restaurant.
This big-nosed one is named Thomas; you can just call him Old Cheng. This one wearing glasses is named David; you can call him Lao Yuan."
Then he looked at Zheng Shangqi on the stretcher and said, "Shang Chi, this child is Old Cheng's distant nephew. Unfortunately, he had bad luck. He was scratched by a Vampire just after arriving in New York and ended up like this."
"Okay, you two put him in the treatment pod first. I'll give him an examination."
Controlling the instrument in his hand, a brand-new treatment pod was sent into the lab.
Watching them clumsily lift Zheng Shangqi into the treatment pod, Andy felt they looked somewhat familiar.
He hadn't felt it when he only saw Old Hong before, but now that the three of them appeared together, Andy always felt he had seen them somewhere.
They seemed to have appeared in his previous life, but Andy's memories of his previous life were already blurry, and he couldn't remember who they were at all.
He just felt that all three of them had great reputations in his previous life.
After thinking for a while, Andy still couldn't remember who they looked like, so he gave up trying to recall.
Regardless of who these people were in his previous life, for now, they were just fast-food restaurant owners.
After a long wait, the three of them finally placed Zheng Shangqi in the treatment pod.
The three men looked at Andy with beaming smiles, awaiting Andy's treatment.
Stepping forward to activate the treatment pod, Andy stared at the treatment pod's display to check the data.
Old Hong and the others also gathered to look at the data. After a while, they realized they couldn't understand the complex data on the display at all.
So they stepped back, leaving the space to Andy.
In the treatment pod's display, Zheng Shangqi's body data was scanned.
From his body data, he was extremely healthy.
This left Andy puzzled. If it was due to Vampire infection,
Then his body should be extremely weak, and Andy had indeed seen him looking very weak on the stretcher before.
How could he be displayed as healthy in the treatment pod?
Looking at the data on the display, Andy fell into deep thought.
After thinking for a while, Andy still couldn't understand the reason behind it.
Perplexed, Andy suddenly remembered Old Hong saying that Zheng Shangqi had repelled the Vampires.
To be able to resist and repel all of them under the Vampires' siege, he must have his own secret.
Perhaps Kung Fu was the reason for Zheng Shangqi's current state. "Old Hong, I remember you said Zheng Shangqi knew some Kung Fu. Do you all know it too?"
Hearing Andy's question, Old Hong was suddenly stunned. What does our knowledge of Kung Fu have to do with treating Little Zheng?
But to avoid affecting Andy's treatment, Old Hong still answered truthfully: "That's right, we all have some grasp of Kung Fu. Back then, the three of us were also quite skilled in the martial arts world."
Getting Old Hong's confirmation, Andy nodded, confirming his guess.
He then asked again: "Then do you know Qigong or something? I'm talking about the kind of Qigong that can circulate within the body, not the kind performed by street artists in Chinatown."
Qigong? And it can circulate within the body?
Old Hong and the others were a little surprised. They did indeed know this kind of Qigong.
But this was clearly a secret method that only martial artists in China would know. Ordinary people in China had no understanding of it, only thinking it was a fictional product.
How would Andy, a Chinese-American who had lived in the U.S. since childhood, know these things? And he seemed very certain about the existence of Qigong.
Old Hong and the two others exchanged glances, then handed Andy a secret manual they carried.
This secret method for circulating Qigong within the body was not forbidden from being passed down; on the contrary, it was widely circulated among the martial arts community.
These secret methods circulating in the martial arts world were all extremely crude, low-level cultivation techniques.
Any slightly decent cultivation technique was an object of contention for martial artists.
However, to cultivate 'qi sensation' required several years of 'qi nurturing'.
Only a few exceptionally talented individuals could bypass this qi-nurturing stage and directly cultivate the techniques.
The aptitude of the three of them could not be said to be excellent, but it was by no means poor.
Over decades, their qi-nurturing skills had reached a pinnacle level.
Even if they returned to China, they could become powerful figures and widely accept disciples.
Looking at the familiar Chinese characters on the paper cultivation technique, Andy's mouth twitched involuntarily.
Three large characters were prominently written on the cultivation technique:
Qi!
Cultivation!
Technique!
Simple, clear, and easy to understand, it directly told those who practiced Qigong the meaning of this cultivation technique's existence.
He opened the Qi Cultivation Technique and looked at it for a few glances, finding it full of various human meridian diagrams and body acupuncture points.
Only a few cryptic and difficult-to-understand incantations were written on the pages.
It seemed that to cultivate this technique, without a foundation of various traditional Chinese knowledge,
