The circumstances surrounding the three Grandmasters became widely known throughout the entirety of the world. Everyone, whether they were children or adults, was in some way presented with the news.
It was that viral.
Almost everyone…
"Shit, I fucked up again."
Melissa readjusted her glasses while clicking her tongue in annoyance. In front of her were a few test tubes that were releasing a gas that had no discernible odor.
She looked at Rosie.
"How many failed samples does that make?"
"About a hundred."
"The cost?"
"Over one hundred million U."
"I see…"
Melissa gave a subdued nod of her head as her hand made its way toward her chest, and she clenched her clothes. Her heart was hurting.
"What's our current budget?"
"We're almost out."
"I see…"
Melissa proceeded to sit down on a nearby stool.
She couldn't feel her legs.
With quivering lips, she weakly looked toward Rosie.
"Say… how much do you think I'd get if I sold my body?"
"You what?"
The expression on Rosie's face went through a series of abrupt changes as she was rendered speechless.
"Useless."
Melissa turned her head away from her and continued to gaze at the test tubes in front of her. She was close. She could feel it.
'So long as I get the formula right…'
"Tsk."
She clicked her tongue once more and took out her phone.
The first thing that she did was look over her research funds and determine the precise amount that was still available to her.
[3,563,000U]
Her lips quivered at the sum.
"M,maybe I should really sell my body."
Ding―!
At that precise moment, her phone started to ring. Melissa picked up the phone while frowning and responded to the call.
"Yes?"
[Mrs. Hall, there's a guest that wants to meet you downstairs.]
"Does he have an appointment?"
[No.]
