Luo Chao followed Tang Tianyi to a bedroom door on the first floor of the mansion.

Tang Tianyi took out the shimmering gold key, inserted it into the lock of the door, and with a "click," opened the bedroom door.

The door opened to reveal a huge bedroom, containing only a large bed covered with white sheets and bedding, and a towering old-fashioned redwood wardrobe.

"Come in." Tang Tianyi entered the bedroom and casually said to Luo Chao, who was still stunned at the door.

Luo Chao awkwardly said, "Ahem, Miss Tang, isn't it somewhat inconvenient for a lone man and woman to be in a bedroom together like this during broad daylight?"

As he spoke, Luo Chao put extra emphasis on the word "bedroom."

"What's inconvenient about it?" Tang Tianyi frowned slightly, then seemed to realize something and said with a look of understanding, "Do you think that entering a bedroom must involve mating?"

"Uh... this..." Luo Chao regretted his words.

"Don't worry," Tang Tianyi headed towards the redwood wardrobe in the room, still not turning back, "Mating as a reproductive behavior is too inefficient. If I wanted to reproduce, I'd use in vitro fertilization."

With that, Tang Tianyi pulled out a test tube and a syringe from the pocket of her white research coat and gave Luo Chao's lower body an intentionally mischievous glance.

At that moment, Luo Chao felt a chill down his neck. In his eyes, Tang Tianyi was far scarier than any demon or ghost.

Putting these thoughts aside, Luo Chao also stepped into the bedroom.

Tang Tianyi opened the redwood wardrobe and started operating something on the inside of the door. After a moment, as a mechanical sound emanated from the wardrobe, Tang Tianyi lifted her foot and stepped into the wardrobe.

This scene left Luo Chao utterly bewildered.

What was going on?

Weren't they supposed to be going to the laboratory?

What's she doing hiding in the wardrobe?

"Hurry up and get in, don't dawdle, okay? My time is very precious!" Tang Tianyi poked a small head out of the wardrobe, urging Luo Chao on.

"Oh..."

Though still puzzled, Luo Chao mimicked Tang Tianyi and stepped into the redwood wardrobe.

Entering the wardrobe, Luo Chao instinctively moved forward, but after a few steps, he realized something was off.

Though the wardrobe appeared large from the outside, it wasn't so big that stepping into it for a while shouldn't have reached the end.

"Miss Tang." Luo Chao called tentatively, pushing aside several clothes hanging inside.

But no one answered. The dark space inside the wardrobe was silent.

Reluctantly, Luo Chao had to inch forward step by step.

He didn't know how long he had walked, but finally, there was a slight light in the darkness ahead.

Luo Chao suddenly accelerated, instantly breaking through the dark wardrobe space.

Stepping out of the wardrobe, what met his eyes was a massive laboratory filled with a futuristic technological feel!

The walls of the laboratory were made entirely of metal, and inside were many strangely shaped machines and some colorful test tubes.

In the center of the laboratory, Tang Tianyi was standing at a lab table, busily working with her hands.

Luo Chao walked up behind Tang Tianyi and glanced at the object in her hand.

The object was none other than the intelligent chip he had given her.

Tang Tianyi looked at the computer screen on the lab table, and after scanning the intelligent chip with a small mechanical device, said, "I've already parsed 50% of the smart program on this chip. With an additional supercomputer, I can completely resolve the remaining 50%."

"Miss Tang, this laboratory... who built it? We must be underground now, right?" Luo Chao looked around, still immersed in the astonishment this underground lab brought him.

"I built it over the course of three months." Tang Tianyi said while fiddling with the apparatus on the lab table.

"You're saying you built such a large high-tech underground laboratory all by yourself? And it took only three months?!" Luo Chao asked with disbelief.

"That's right, do you have a problem?" Tang Tianyi coldly asked.

Luo Chao laughed awkwardly, "It's not that I have a problem, but isn't the project a bit too huge? As far as I know, current human technology shouldn't have such high construction efficiency!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Tianyi turned around, revealing a mechanical glove on her hand, "This is my invention, the Nuclear Energy Glove. With it, building such a large laboratory is very easy."

Tang Tianyi spoke while walking to a pile of machinery and effortlessly lifted a massive machine that looked like it weighed a ton with her Nuclear Energy Glove-wearing hand.

"Holy!" Luo Chao's eyes popped wide open in shock, almost about to shout out loud.

He had long known Tang Tianyi's scientific prowess was formidable, but he didn't expect it to be this powerful!

A small glove could grant a person such enormous strength!

Casually lifting something nearly a ton in weight, how much strength does it give a person!

Luo Chao knew that, in the Ancient Martial Realm, a Yellow Level expert could have a ton of punch strength when their Inner Strength exploded.

Which means, Tang Tianyi's invention of this glove could give any ordinary person the strength of a Yellow Level Ancient Martial Arts expert!

How terrifying!

This Tang Tianyi was simply a once-in-a-century, no, a once-in-a-millennium scientific genius!

Thinking of this, Luo Chao quickly asked, "Miss Tang, how many of these gloves have you made in total?"

Tang Tianyi silently lifted her head, glanced at Luo Chao, and said in a cold yet slightly resigned tone, "The Nuclear Energy Glove, as the name suggests, is a glove generating power through nuclear energy. Although it can provide great strength, its cost is naturally very high."

"As of now, the cost to make a single Nuclear Energy Glove is 80 million US dollars. My funds are limited, so I have only made two Nuclear Energy Gloves..."

"Pfft—" Hearing this, Luo Chao nearly spat out a mouthful of blood, "Miss Tang, did you just say the cost for a single Nuclear Energy Glove is how much?"

"80 million US dollars." Tang Tianyi coldly replied.

80 million... US dollars!

The cost for one glove is nearly 700 million Huaxia Coins!

Stunned, Luo Chao was completely stunned.

No wonder when he previously gave Tang Tianyi 1.5 billion Huaxia Coins as research funding, she seemed so calm.

At the time, Luo Chao thought she lacked the emotional genes to express excitement.

Turns out, it's because she wasn't short of money at all, and a billion-dollar research fund to her was just a drop in the bucket!

Technology truly is a money-consuming pursuit! That was Luo Chao's sole feeling now!
