The 3 billion dollars of the United States has now become a complete joke.
The so-called performance enhancement and cost suppression, along with new technology that was claimed to surpass global tech by nearly a decade... Yet the reality was, before they could even complete equipping the entire army, the entire world had changed its face.
David, who was still staying in Zheng Country, researching alongside Qin Manman, had a somber expression.
When he wasn’t smiling or pretending, his golden hair reflected a chilling light under the bright laboratory lights, and his pair of emerald green eyes were deep, like an unknown creature lurking in murky water. No one on the team dared to breathe, only focusing on their work, fearing to catch his gaze.
At this moment, Qin Manman barged in without any protective measures, covering her face as she ran inside.
She cried out with a sob in her voice.
David’s expression changed instantly.
The storm turned into a calm, serene sea, with all the gentleness encompassing her.
He gently supported Qin Manman’s shoulders like a gentleman.
In the time they spent together, David’s unabashed love had made Qin Manman feel that he was so trustworthy.
Therefore, even though she felt there was still a part of her heart belonging to Mr. Chang Geng, it didn’t affect the deep friendship she had with David, right?
At this moment, she rarely let go of her emotions in front of him.
"Why is there still bulletproof material coming out! I really haven’t heard anything about that new type of protective suit, clearly... clearly there’s only this one bulletproof vest..."
She spoke incoherently, her expression flustered.
The reputation damage after her rebirth didn’t hit her, but the experiment results being out of control made her panic instantly.
Perhaps, this is the confidence and composure that a plagiarizer can never possess. Even with a slight breeze of movement, they would be like a flock of anxious rats, squeaking unsure of how to escape.
David pretended not to decipher the meaning in this.
However... since she wanted to hold the title of a scientist, he didn’t mind playing along, so he softly comforted:
"It’s alright, Manman, you are the most charming female scholar I have ever seen. A mere bulletproof vest does not signify anything; it only represents your past glory. And I believe, in the future, you will have better achievements to prove to the world—missing you is such a regret and loss."
David wasn’t undemanding. He had been lingering in Zheng Country for one or two months, thinking he had already figured out Qin Manman’s background, but apart from the bulletproof material, she hadn’t achieved anything.
If it weren’t for the appearance of more superior bulletproof material, he still had patience to play the long game.
But now that something better had appeared, it proved that the plagiarizer’s ability was still insufficient!
Then, it certainly meant he had to find a way to speed things up.
David’s trust and gentleness let Qin Manman regain her courage.
She was merely disoriented due to consecutive blows and online fervor during this period, but after feeling the steady safety in David’s embrace, she gradually calmed down.
She gently wiped away her tears and looked at the tall, blond man with a determined and resilient expression:
"You’re right, I only suffered a temporary setback... but if they think they can surpass me, it’s impossible! I have other achievements, I’m not afraid at all!"
Remembering the ridicule she faced during this time, along with the dissatisfaction from the United States, Qin Manman took a deep breath.
"I want them to know that I, Qin Manman, will always be ahead of them!"
She still remembered many technologies, she remembered new fireproof materials, she remembered cold-resistant materials... But all of those were overshadowed by an ordinary [All-round Defense Suit]! Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel·fire.net
But, she’s not afraid.
She still has radiation-resistant materials!
Qin Manman’s expression was firm—in her previous life, she had joined Tianfeng just after New Year’s, and the radiation-resistant material project was initiated in April, with a full two years before showing results!
She might even complete everything within two months!
Thinking of this, she confidently smiled.
And David, caressing her cheek, also smiled with trust.
"My goddess, you will succeed."
Qin Manman wanting to work on such a far_distanced radiation-resistant material... Actually, it’s mainly because she was nearing the end of her wits.
Stolen things are not limitless.
Especially considering her major was material science, even in her previous life after she joined Tianfeng Research Institute, she surprisingly spent the first few years circling within this department.
