Hearing his words, Ningtai Johnson knew it wasn't good.
"Herm, what do you want to do?
Don't mess around. This is a society ruled by law!
Do you still think you're living in the dark ages of the Middle Ages? "
"This era is no different from the Middle Ages. People with power can still do whatever they want, right?"
"No, you're wrong. In the past, ordinary people couldn't hurt us, but now, a missile can turn us into dust."
"That's why I need to continue my research from 800 years ago. As long as it succeeds, even missiles can't kill us. This is how we ensure our safety."
"But if you cause a commotion, we might be destroyed by the government before our research succeeds."
"No, as long as we're careful, it'll be fine," Herm replied. "We can just pretend to be ordinary people."
"Fine … Tell me, what do you want to do?
Kidnap those tycoons? "
"Don't be silly. The risk of kidnapping tycoons is too high." Herm retorted. "Plus, they have too much influence. The government will retaliate."
Hearing Herm's words, Ningtai Johnson finally sighed in relief.
He really thought Herm wanted to kidnap the tycoons.
They were already part of the modern society.
Therefore, they understood the rules of this era.
Don't go against the government no matter what.
Don't go against the rich no matter what.
This was the rule of this era.
"Then what do you suggest we do?"
"Rob a bank, of course."
"…"
Three minutes of silence …
Then Ningtai Johnson spat out a mouthful of blood.
He really thought Herm had turned over a new leaf.
He wanted to give Herm a thumbs up.
In the end, his thoughts were even more ridiculous.
Rob a bank?
Ningtai Johnson thought Herm's central nervous system must have been corroded by the Azure Demon Potion he created.
What was the concept of robbing a bank?
In the movies, there would always be a group of vicious or intelligent people who fooled the police and the bank's security system. They would then casually leave with a huge sum of money.
In the movies, it was really cool.
In reality, it was much more troublesome than in the movies.
Not to mention the small banks in the remote areas.
Those small banks were destined to not have much money.
For people like them, it wasn't too difficult.
But how much money could they rob from those small banks?
One hundred thousand USD was already the limit.
But a hundred thousand dollars was enough to buy a culture tank.
So robbing a small bank was pointless.
Based on their need for funds, they could only rob the headquarters of the banks located in the city center or the branches of the mega bank groups, the kind that handled tens of millions of USD every day, or the banks that acted as the cash reserve of the regional banks.
Only this kind of bank could meet their needs.
However, the difficulty of robbing such a bank was basically the same as attacking a military base.
He didn't think that with their strength, they could easily rob this kind of bank's money.
Most importantly, once their abilities were exposed.
In that case, it wouldn't attract ordinary people.
There was a high chance that people from the Spirit World would intervene.
At that time, they would be in even more trouble.
"You're crazy."
"No, I have a plan. In fact, I've been planning since you failed to find the funding."
Herm explained in a serious tone, "The Labyrinth Seeds we've cultivated are close to success. It won't be long before we can mass cultivate them. We can use them to carry out our robbery plan."
"Lost Path Seed!?
You should know the weakness of the Lost Path Seed!
We haven't solved the problem of the Labyrinth Seed yet! "
Ningtai Johnson said in dissatisfaction, "So, forcefully using the Labyrinth Seed is also very risky.
But if we can't find the funding, our research will have to stop. We don't have much time left. If we can't make a breakthrough, we can only become a pile of dirt. "
Ningtai Johnson fell silent. Of course, he understood Herm's words.
He also wanted the research to continue. He also wanted to make a breakthrough.
However, he and Herm were different. After they woke up, they understood the rules of this era and discussed the division of labor.
Herm continued his experiments, while Ningtai Johnson walked outside and was in charge of providing Herm with funding.
Ningtai Johnson had been outside for a long time. He understood the rules of the outside world better than Herm.
Therefore, he understood their position and strength better.
This era was the era of ordinary people.
Although there were spiritualists, it was still a world dominated by ordinary people.
Spiritualists could use their own abilities to occupy a place.
However, if they crossed the line, not to mention the ordinary people, the government wouldn't let them go.
Even spiritualists wouldn't let them go.
Herm, the nerdy otaku, was different.
Although he had some understanding of the outside world.
His way of thinking was still in the Middle Ages.
He still felt that as long as he was strong enough, he could do whatever he wanted.
Just like 800 years ago.
But in reality, 800 years ago, they still couldn't do whatever they wanted.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been forced into hibernation and only woke up after 800 years.
Hibernation didn't mean they wouldn't lose their life force.
In fact, their current appearance didn't match their real age.
Even their bodies were like rotten wood, about to rot and age.
This was why they immersed themselves in research after they woke up.
For the sake of true immortality, they had been engaged in this research since 800 years ago.
They had also achieved some results from their research.
These results gave them 300 years of life.
However, these 300 years of life didn't bring them joy.
The effects of their research also followed.
Countless spiritualists formed an alliance and declared war on them.
They had no choice but to hibernate to avoid the encirclement of the spiritual world.
Although hibernation could slow down the loss of their life force, it didn't mean it wouldn't.
Moreover, the duration of hibernation was longer than they had planned. 800 years of hibernation offset 300 years of life force.
800 years of hibernation caused the first stage of their research to go to waste.
It was because they were afraid of death that they started their research on immortality.
But now, reality forced them into a corner.
If they didn't research, they would die. According to their estimations, they only had around 10 years of life left.
In this era, research required money. It wasn't like the past where they just robbed.
However, in the end, they were only doing biological research, not finance. Therefore, money was the biggest stumbling block on their research path.
