However, no matter which project it was, there was not much progress.
Needless to say, the human enhancement program is not something that can yield results in a short period of time.
As for finding suitable materials...
There's a saying in materials science: "Luck is more useful than hard work."
In a sense, materials science is really similar to buying lottery tickets; whether you win or not depends entirely on luck.
This is a long-term task, and Mo Jiang is well aware of this, so he did not require his employees to complete the task within a specified time.
After stretching and calculating the time, Mo Jiang estimated that it was almost dawn in the modern world and time for school. Then, he opened the portal and left Chicago.
He secretly thought that he should urge Ah Long to register the company. Not only did the large-scale purchase of materials require an explanation, but the school also needed a reason for his long-term leave of absence.
Skipping class isn't out of the question, but considering the principal's strong prejudice against him, Mo Jiang suspects that this might lead the principal to report him to his family.
Mo Jiang doesn't care about degrees and diplomas, but his family does, which makes him have to consider their feelings.
After stepping through the portal, a sudden feeling of weightlessness swept over him, and Mo Jiang felt dizzy and lost consciousness.
……
Awakening from the chaotic darkness, Mo Jiang felt terrible; he felt as if he had been thrown into a washing machine and spun around all day.
The scene that appeared after pushing open the door was not any of the familiar sights.
What comes into view is a space of about forty square meters. Iron bunk beds are arranged side by side on both sides of the door. The iron bunk bed on the right side of the door has a bunk structure, while the iron bunk bed on the left side of the door only has an upper bunk, with a table placed in the space where the lower bunk is.
Only one bed had a blanket and clothes on it; the other beds were empty.
There was a perfume-like scent in the air, and looking at the clothes on the bed, Mo Jiang was quite certain that his new time-travel coordinates had led him to a university dormitory.
And it looks like a girls' dormitory.
It's about 40 square meters, a six-person room, and there's also a private bathroom.
"Tough luck."
The feeling of bad luck wasn't just because one's time travel coordinates were set in this precarious location, but also because one was caught up in trouble right after discovering a new world.
There was a chilling aura in the air, and a malevolent gaze was fixed upon him.
The gaze was well concealed, or rather, it was swiftly hidden, as if it were watching him from some crack or crevice.
A certain malice was spreading silently.

134. Master of Suspense and Horror Games - Mo Jiang!
The chilling aura was like a needle hidden in cotton, its sharpness concealed, yet extremely dangerous.
The feeling was like spending the winter in the south; even though you were wearing a down jacket, the cold and desolation seeped through your clothes and flesh into your very bones.
Mo Jiang could even feel his body temperature drop several degrees unnaturally, which was unusual. His physique was already very strong, and after cultivating the Nine Yang True Scripture and the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, his body temperature had always been maintained at a level slightly higher than that of ordinary people.
If one uses internal energy to fight, their body temperature will continue to rise.
In fact, he suspected that the final hurdle of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, "enduring the torment of burning up and self-immolation throughout the body," was not a metaphor or figurative expression, but rather meant literally that one's internal energy would set oneself on fire.
As if stimulated by something, the Nine Yang Divine Skill within his body spontaneously began to operate, dispelling the chill from his body.
Like a furnace, it continuously provides heat to Mojiang.
Although the chilling aura of the room still lingered, it was directly repelled a meter away by the overwhelming and fierce Nine Yang Internal Force, unable to get even a fraction closer to Mo Jiang.
He looked around; the dormitory had changed at some point.
The iron-framed bed and chairs, which looked quite new at first, seemed to have aged considerably in an instant, with the sheet metal peeling off and large areas of rust appearing on the iron frames.
The whitewashed walls were also speckled with mold, and behind those walls, a dark red liquid with a putrid smell was constantly seeping out.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew open the closed balcony door, and the chilling force in the air intensified abruptly, attempting to extinguish the unpleasant warmth.
However, for Mo Jiang, who had mastered the Nine Yang Divine Skill and was only one step away from perfection, it was quite normal for the Nine Yang Divine Skill to be ignited when it was pushed beyond its limit.
However, if there is an external force attempting to suppress the Nine Yang Divine Skill...
"Hey!"
A cold laugh rang out, and suddenly a roar seemed to echo in the room. The internal force was forced out and continuously released heat, keeping the surrounding coldness three meters away.
"This new place seems to be quite special."
Based on what they had just encountered, Mo Jiang could already guess what they had come up with.
On the set of a supernatural film.
Or to put it bluntly, a ghost!
Mo Jiang looked around, while simultaneously straining his ears to look towards the location of the restroom.
He just heard breathing sounds coming from the bathroom, human breathing sounds.
Without much thought, he went straight to the bathroom, but instead of pushing the door open, he knocked twice. "Excuse me, is anyone home? I'd like to come in."
Facing an opponent he had never met before, Mo Jiang had no intention of backing down, but rather planned to make contact with him.
Whether you come into contact with a human or a ghost.
Mo Jiang doesn't plan to return to the modern world until he gets rid of this ghost; who knows if it will follow him there?
When facing an enemy you've never encountered before, you can never be too careful. Mo Jiang has no intention of rashly returning and unleashing a reign of terror in his hometown.
There was no answer from inside the bathroom. Mo Jiang could still hear faint breathing sounds, so he ignored everything else and turned the handle to open the door and go in.
The doorknob, however, was as hard as cast iron; no matter how hard you pressed it, it wouldn't budge, and you couldn't open the door.
"Hey, lock the door?"
The palm began to slowly apply force, one ton, two tons, five tons, ten tons...
When Mo Jiang applied more than thirty tons of force, the door handle was ripped off the door frame, and the door was pushed open.
Although he didn't know what kind of world this was, considering that the worlds he had traveled to before were all game-like, Mo Jiang decided to assume that this was also a game world.
As for the genre, it's clearly supernatural.
In a typical supernatural game, if a door is locked, you would need to find clues and items, and go through many steps before you can open it and leave the room.
However, Mo Jiang skipped this step, and the force of thirty tons directly dismantled the entire door.
Without the door, there's no need for decryption.
"As expected, this is the real 'decryption'. If the door won't open, we'll just smash it open."
He muttered to himself as he walked into the bathroom.
As soon as I entered, I saw a woman in pajamas facing the mirror, her whole body stiff and unable to move, only her eyes were moving slightly.
Besides that, they can't even make a facial expression.
In contrast, the face she saw in the mirror was smiling sinisterly, her eyes filled with resentment.
Is there a ghost in the mirror?
Or is something else controlling this person?
Mo Jiang didn't know the answer, but he knew he needed to save this person, otherwise the information about this place would disappear before his eyes.
But how do we do it?
Although Mo Jiang was a disciple of the Wudang School and could be considered a Taoist priest in some ways, his teacher had not taught him how to exorcise ghosts.
That's not Wudang Sect's job; they should go to Maoshan instead.
After thinking for a moment, Mo Jiang placed his right hand on the woman's shoulder and then slowly channeled his Nine Yang Internal Force into her body.
This action requires extreme caution. The Nine Yang Internal Force that Mo Jiang has cultivated is fierce and domineering, and even his ancient overlord-like physique may not be able to fully withstand it.
Rashly pouring internal energy into another person's body is less like transferring power and more like burning them like a candle.
Because of the difference between Mo Jiang's cultivation method and Zhang Wuji's, his personality became specialized, making the Nine Yang Internal Force full of aggression, and he could also use his internal force to heal himself.
But if you want to treat someone else, you have to be very careful.
The difference between injecting a little more or a little less internal energy could be the difference between killing and saving a life.
Carefully controlling the flow of internal energy, the woman quickly regained control of her body.
At this moment, the female ghost's eyes in the mirror suddenly changed; the pupils became completely white, and the whites of her eyes became completely black, making her look extremely frightening.
At the same time, the female ghost suddenly rushed out of the mirror, her fingernails flashing with a dark, eerie light, and reached out to grab Mo Jiang and the other person.
Once enraged, the female ghost will immediately begin killing.
But this was a mistake. She could have ravaged the woman before Mo Jiang came in, or simply killed her.
However, it would have been a mistake for the female ghost to still intend to attack when Mo Jiang was standing in front of her.
A mistake of not valuing one's own life.
He grabbed the female ghost by the throat and pulled her out of the mirror with a sudden burst of strength. Only then could the female ghost see clearly that a pair of scarlet eyes were staring at her.
At the same time, the female ghost, who was already a spirit, sensed something.
Murderous intent. Liu Yinqi suspected? Scarface I〤?V [Unintelligible]
A murderous aura that was pure, violent, and capable of harming her.

135. When you find a gun in a horror game...
"Can you speak?"
The only response to Mo Jiang was the female ghost's meaningless screams and struggles.
Realizing that communication was impossible, Mo Jiang clenched his right hand, and fire burst forth from between his fingers, burning the female ghost to ashes without her even letting out a scream.
For such a negative and yin-like existence, internal energy, which condenses the life force of the human body, especially the Nine Yang Internal Energy with its extremely strong and yang attributes, is absolutely more terrifying to ghosts than concentrated sulfuric acid.
Seeing that his internal energy was working, Mo Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.
The horror of supernatural movies lies in the fact that you can't harm the ghosts at all; you can only passively run away.
In the film, humans are always portrayed as vulnerable and constantly at risk of being harmed.
But if you give the protagonist a weapon that allows him to harm the vengeful ghost, then it becomes a completely different story.
I don't know where I am, I don't know what I'm supposed to do, I only know I'm going to go on a killing spree.jpg
Burning the female ghost felt like burning something cold and gloomy. A few ashes remained in his hand, just like burnt paper money.
Then the bathroom light started flickering, the sink vibrated slightly, and the mirror seemed to be fixed in place, trembling incessantly.
"Hurry, she's been provoked, this ghost realm is about to change."
The girl shouted anxiously, "Get out of here and go back to your room!"
As she spoke, the girl tried to leave, but her body, which had been controlled by the female ghost, had not yet recovered. She could barely move, let alone walk.
If you have a problem, listen to the experts. This person was able to survive in such a haunted place, so their knowledge in this area must be higher than yours.
He immediately grabbed the woman's arm and darted out of the bathroom. As soon as he stepped out, Mo Jiang sensed something changing behind him.
When I turned around, I found that the bathroom door had been replaced by a poster.
If he hadn't escaped in time, Mo Jiang himself would probably have turned into a painting.
Even though Mo Jiang had been to many killing fields and had killed so many people that he could count them in thousands, he still felt a chill when he realized that he had almost become a poster.
He didn't like enemies with strange abilities at all.
"What was that just now?" / "Who are you?"
Two questions arose at the same time, and the two were slightly taken aback. Then, Mo Jiang stepped back and said, "My name is Mo Jiang. I came here because of an accident. I just happened to hear the breathing of a living person in the bathroom, and now I'm wondering what happened."
Lying in this environment is naturally not a rational thing to do, but Mo Jiang did not fully explain the cause and effect.
