I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything

"Let's go" Brick motioned for him to get on the carriage.

Fein nodded. He walked to the other side of the carriage to enter.

The inside of the carriage had a simple design. The seat had a red cushion, and it has an overall white theme just like the outside. Fein had noticed that there was not much decoration in the interior.

The two of them sat together. Fein stared at Brick. "So how's the gene splicing going?"

Hearing Fein's question, Brick smiled bitterly, "I already set aside it for now, because there's no result... It was harder than I'd thought." He slumped in his seat as he said this.

"Don't think too much. Transplanting the genes of other creatures is already way beyond years. I doubt anyone could achieve it in this era." Fein said his thoughts.

Brick just stared at Fein with a smile.

"What? is there anything wrong with what I said? Fein asked in doubt. He also examined his face in the mirror to see if there was something in it.

Brick chuckled. "There are two people who I had the confidence to achieve it."

"Who?" Fein asked with his eyebrows raised.

Fein knew that gene splicing was already at the level of impossibility. Even if they're in the Interstellar age, he doubts that it would be easy. After all, you are literally splicing the genes of other creatures and transplant them into your own body to have their characteristics which obviously defies the natural order.

"Niki," Brick Norty fell silent.

"Ohh? The leader of the laughing phantom?" Fein already knew that Niki is also a scientist.

But it surprised him that a genius like Brick would think highly of others. After all, people with staggering IQs had their own pride. They always think that everyone is a stupid monkey walking in human clothes. Fein hadn't heard of any scientific feat that Niki had.

"He's that smart?" Fein frowned.

Because even he with S rank talent doesn't dare to claim that he could successfully research gene-splicing technology, but he knew that Brick won't talk nonsense with him.

It was Brick Norty who turned to be surprised.

"Oh... you haven't heard of that guy yet?"

"I've heard of his evil deeds, and how he was the leader of the most dangerous criminal organization. I also knew that he was a scientist, but for his scientific achievements, I haven't heard of them." Fein scratched his chin.

"Well, I can't blame you." Brick nodded his head with understanding. "Every one of his inventions is strictly confidential. But he has a record in the QWERTY database, that he's the one who invented 'Shinobi War Robot'."

Fein felt the hair on his skin stood up with the edgy name of the invention.

"How does that even function?"

Brick laughed as he saw Fein's unbelieving face. "As the name itself, they are a robot that could fight like a ninja. Niki also programmed them like a soldier that could participate in a large-scale war."

Brick paused for a moment to breathe. "And as you know, their organization is lacking staff because Laughing Phantom is a group that is only composed of S ranks. Niki created those robots to solve their lack of workforce."

p "They disdained degu users below S rank?" Fein sighed.

Brick leaned on the side, "Yeah, they are that arrogant."

But It still amazed Fein, because creating a robot isn't simple, not to mention a smart one that could fight and execute orders. It would need a lot of advanced materials and sufficient knowledge of AI. Fein found it incredulous that a man in the medieval age could even think of this. Just how smart one could possibly be to achieve this feat!? Although Fein could also create robots with even more advanced functions than that now, nonetheless, Niki was still worthy of his respect.

"Where did they find the materials needed for that, though?" Fein was sure that with the current level of material science in this world, it would be a hard endeavor.

"They combined all of their resources and channels." Brick smiled. "As you know, those guys are all big shots. They have their own research facility that focuses on discovering unknown elements and materials."

"Then who was the second guy?"

The second gut that could make Brick think highly of him also piqued his curiosity. In this world. Although there are a lot of amazing scientists, he believed that he can only count scientists with S rank research talent on one hand.

"Of course it's you." Brick said casually as if he was just talking about the weather.

Before Fein could even respond, Brick continued. "You're still 23 years old, younger than Niki, but you already had a lot of achievements in your hand. I have a feeling that one day, you would invent a crazy thing that would subvert the world's cognition."

Fein looked at Brick with surprise.

'I didn't expect this guy thinks highly of me.'

"Stop! stop! you're feeding my ego."

"Well, I'm just saying what I think if you only focused on your research. Buy you got a lot of things on your plate." Brick shook his head.

Fein smiled. He straightened his back and says. "You know, strength is more important to me. Science is only a tool for me to find a way to manipulate my genes... We're not the same. I knew you pursue science because you like uncovering the unexplained truths of the world." He patted Brick's shoulder. "And I respect you for that."

The two of them looked at each other. Before Brick couldn't hold back anymore, he burst out laughing and Fein followed.

Just like that, the two of them talk about science-related kinds of stuff and concepts. The driver of the carriage, who heard their conversation from time to time, could only shake his head.

'Are we even talking about the same language?' The driver started to doubt his IQ.

In a few hours, the carriage had already entered a place with no people in sight. Fein and Brick could only hear the chirp of birds and the splashing of water in the place.

In the middle, a mountain range covered with gray fog appeared.

"We're here," the driver of the carriage shouted.
