Chapter 1272 The Magical Use of Fear
Chapter 1272 The Magical Use of Fear
For Lin Yu, this was certainly not his first meeting with Buye Tian Huo Le.
However, for Huo Le of Buyetian, this was indeed the first time she met the supervisor John H. Arthur.
And her first impression of this B-1 level supervisor... was not very good.
Although she had come to the Truth Building from the Buyetian family residence on a hovercraft specifically to meet this "very talented" B-1 level manager as Paris said, to be honest...Buyetian Huo Le was not optimistic about this guy.
After all, although Huo Le was not born when the Fear Project was banned, as a direct descendant of a royal aristocratic family, he had learned too much alchemical knowledge since childhood that was considered "secret" even to the upper class. Huo Le knew the danger and uncontrollability of the "Fear" Project better than Paris.
That was the final conclusion made by my mother herself: "The risk is too high and the value is too low, there is no need to continue research and development."
Buyetian Huo Le has almost blind trust in the alchemy level of the current head of the family, his mother.
Therefore, Huo Le of Buyetian knew very well that the reason why "Fear" was sealed was definitely not because the interests of some "vested faction" were touched, which led to the blocking of the entire research project.
But this project is so risky that it is impossible to conduct long-term research.
Back then, my mother didn't just approve the project at the end, but she also paid close attention to this new "emotional energy" from the very beginning - in other words, although the person in charge of the project at the time was Professor Dortmund, the supporter was actually Buye Tian Yonglian!
What kind of interest group would dare to go against Yonglian, who was at the peak of his power and energy at that time?
And now a B-1-level manager shows up and brazenly says he wants to restart this project...
Huo Le of Buyetian naturally felt that there were only two possibilities.
The first possibility is that Arthur is a complete fool and a fake, who really thinks he has discovered a treasure project that the alchemists have not discovered, and has not seen the fatal loopholes in the "Fear" project at all.
Second, he was a boastful liar - the rhetoric he used to convince Paris was something he himself did not even believe, and he did it just to defraud funds and status... If this was the case, although he had a little more brains than the first one, he was still a fool in the eyes of Huo Le of Nevernight.
After all, this meant that he had already reached the B-1 level, but still did not realize how serious a crime it was to deceive the royal nobles - no benefit was worth taking such a risk.
But...Buyetian Huo Le couldn't help but sigh that it was fortunate that the other party met him.
Compared with ordinary royal nobles or even ordinary nobles, I can be considered the type who values talent more.
If the other party is not a complete fool but a liar, it means that his liar has "tricked" Paris after all.
Then Buyetian Huo Le was willing to give the other party a chance to see if he could be of use in other places.
After all, a smooth-talking guy who is good at deceiving, sociable, and whitewashing is also what Truth Company and even her team needs.
As a big company, there must be someone responsible for speaking nice words - to the directors, to the employees, to the general consumers and ordinary residents.
If he could deceive Paris today, maybe he could deceive other executives and directors tomorrow, and maybe even the presidents and directors of the Divine Power Group and the Universal General Chamber of Commerce!
With the mentality that the other party must be a liar, Buyetian Huo Le spoke lightly.
"Paris said you wanted to restart the 'Fear' project and that you were confident it would be successful and could even be an achievement on my resume."
"So, you now have ten minutes to prove what you said and convince me."
As she spoke calmly, Lin Yu took out [Chat's Supplies] from his arms again and opened the lid.
"This is the 'Fear Supply Pack' I showed President Paris. It can directly materialize fear and transform it into edible food and water without any side effects."
As Lin Yu spoke, Buyetian Huo Le looked at him calmly.
"I already know all this, so there's no need to show me this."
"Don't waste your time."
When Lin Yu heard what Buyetian Huo Le said, he showed some nervousness appropriately and quickened his speech.
"Don't worry, in my opinion, the 'Fear' project has more than just that much to offer."
"Compared to other emotional energies, the ability to directly materialize this emotional energy through an alchemical formula without requiring additional processing is Fear's greatest advantage, but this is not Fear's core competitiveness."
"Its essence...is still to serve as 'energy'."
"The core competitiveness of 'fear' as an energy source is its ability to continuously release energy in various extreme environments."
"Furthermore, I believe that the respected Lord Huo Le of the Nevernight Sky is also familiar with the Fear-related project and knows that it once went out of control—a large amount of 'Fear' developed active characteristics, leading to the destruction of a project research base in the Great Wilderness."
Nevernight Huo Le nodded: "Yes, I know - how are you going to overcome it?"
"We haven't overcome it, Your Excellency. Although this did lead to the destruction of the most important Fear Research Base and was even the main reason for the suspension of the Fear Project, in my opinion, this is also Fear's greatest advantage. Imagine if a magical creature was discovered in the wilderness, whose blood or fat could provide highly efficient functions, but whose intelligence level was not high. What would you think of such a creature?"
"Wouldn't you treat it as a treasure?"
As Lin Yu spoke, the nervousness in his tone disappeared, replaced by excitement and confidence: "Then, on the other hand... if an energy source can be activated, why can't we change our thinking and shift its research and development focus from refining to 'nurturing'?"
"You know, if we could tame 'fear'... and create a high-energy creature capable of walking and moving on its own, just imagine how many incredible applications it would bring, right?"
"Just by putting this concept out there, I'm afraid it will elevate Truth Company's reputation among the people of the City That Never Sleeps."
Having said that, Lin Yu supported himself on the table, looking excited.
"By then... maybe there won't be any three major companies anymore."
"When people talk about the big companies in the city that never sleeps, there will only be two major companies!"
"And Truth Company...will become a super-oligarchic giant that completely surpasses the two major companies!"
