Novel Full Chapter 360: Becoming Famous (Bonus)
“What do you think?”
The question was simple, but the effect of agreeing to this plan would be huge. He would be famous, which meant he would be targeted by a lot of people.
Most likely, the terrorist organization would be coming for him because of this very reason. Or they might join hands with other people.
If they chose the latter, they would definitely end up revealing themselves. If he played this right, he might be able to catch that terrorist organization, but a wrong move would cause him to end up dying or kidnapped.
So, the core of his plan would revolve around Sleeping Garden.
He approached Sleeping Garden for a few reasons. It seemed he could accomplish all of it by proceeding with this plan.
On the other hand, it would also mean Selena and Sera would be targeted. The Holy Kingdom would most likely make their move on Sera.
Considering the grudge between Selena and the Ashton family, they might try to kidnap him or kill Selena because she was his woman. His rise would definitely crush the acting count.
However, if he succeeded, Selena could get her revenge.
In addition, building his reputation was also something he wanted to do. Despite knowing that being popular meant bringing a lot of enemies, Nathan knew there were a lot of other benefits.
After some considerations, Nathan made his decision. “Alright. What’s the time for the presentation, though?”
“For the first one, it will be around a few days after your fight against Alavenya. If you win, people won’t doubt you about being my co-author.
“For the second one, it’s after graduation. Maybe a few weeks before we accept the new freshmen.”
Nathan pondered. “Still, I’m not a researcher. My knowledge is pretty shallow, especially about Ena.”
“I never asked you to become a researcher. A co-author isn’t necessarily another researcher. They can be sponsors and other kinds of people, so you don’t have to worry about that.”
Nathan nodded in understanding. “Still, do you think it’s possible? I mean, the concept of this storage?”
“Yes. The storage itself shouldn’t be that hard to make. If we calculate the amount of Ena that can be contained within the size of the storage you’re currently asking… I’m thinking about 500 to 1,000 Ena.
“It might be nowhere near enough to defeat a mature class alien, but it’s possible to kill a juvenile class alien… no, it might be enough to kill a few of them.
“What we’re currently missing is how we can release it, but you have answered that already. If we create a trigger that can unseal the storage and let it flow, it’ll solve the problem.”
Nathan thought for a moment. “Do you think it’s possible to control this Ena?”
“If you are a summoner, you can control the Ena. If you are not a summoner, I don’t think it’s possible. The only way for them to control it is…” Vivian looked around. She found a cube on the shelf.
With a snap of her fingers, her Ena brought it to her hand.
She then released Ena from her hand and let it float around the cube. “If you take a look at the Ena, they’re currently stationary. But what if we do this?”
Vivian released her Ena while tossing the cube. As a result, the Ena was following the cube’s movement.
“Motion?”
“Yes! I’m using another one of your concepts, ‘in-motion.’ If they press a trigger while swinging their sword, they will release that Ena. Depending on the rate of Ena that is discharged from the sword, it might become a similar attack, like the crescent-shaped sword wave.
“From the looks of it, it will be limited to only one or two types of discharge, which will be determined by their design.
“Nonetheless, this will change the world.” Vivian nodded. “In fact, I don’t think there are a lot of things that need to be changed from the current prototype. We just have to shrink the size.
“Then again, they might be able to create something bigger to kill a mature class alien other than those siege weapons. For example, an exoskeleton that has 10,000 Ena storage or something.
“Unfortunately, if we charge the storage with our own Ena, it will disappear if we lose control over that Ena. Hence, it can only be charged by cores.
“However, if we can somehow improve the efficiency, it won’t matter much. The cost of the weapon will be lower than the reward.
“And it might be possible if we expand the Ena classification again. That’s a topic for another time. To answer your question, yes, I can make the prototype for you. If you show it to that elder dwarf, he can create a new shell that will match the design of your weapon.”
Nathan listened attentively. He crossed his arms. “Should I assist you?”
“Sure. It will only take a day to create the new prototype and a few days to make sure it’s functioning properly. I don’t want to put you in any danger because of my untested creation.”
Nathan smiled. “I understand. Let’s do it that way. I will go on a mission with Selena and Sera in a week, so I have enough time. Should I ask him to sign a confidential contract?”
“I will draft the contract. You don’t have to worry about that.” Vivian smiled. “However, I need to ask you one question. Are you sure you’re fine contributing this to the world?”
Nathan nodded. “Yes. I personally don’t mind. I might not be a hero, but I’m not heartless. Why do you ask?”
“I mean, if you present this kind of research as a bride’s price, you can basically get any woman you want, including Flora.” She smirked.
Nathan scratched the back of his head. “Why do you even mention Flora?”
“She always put on a playful expression, as if everything had gone according to plan. I just want to slap her and put her in her place. Ah, it will be satisfying.”
“Please don’t use such an important reason for such a petty reason, Master.” Nathan interjected.
“I mean, she is teasing people most of the time, right? Don’t you just want to bully her from time to time? I can see it. I can see that frustrated face!”
“I will take my leave then.” Nathan bowed while letting out a long sigh.
