I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything

Chapter 578 Back To Laboratory

As Fein helped Brick Norty return to his human form, the scientist couldn't help but feel grateful. "Thank you, Fein," he said, his voice shaky with emotion. "I can't believe you managed to save me from that... monster."

Fein nodded, giving him a reassuring smile. "It's alright, Brick. I'm just glad I was able to help you."

Brick took a deep breath before continuing, his voice heavy with regret. "I can't even begin to describe the horror I felt when that thing took over my body. I saw everything it did, felt every life it took, but I couldn't do anything to stop it. I'm so sorry, Fein. I never should have injected myself with that serum."

Fein put a hand on his shoulder, giving him a sympathetic look. "It's not your fault, Brick. You were just trying to make a difference in the world, and I respect that. But I hope this experience has taught you a valuable lesson. Sometimes, the greatest advancements come from patience and caution, not recklessness."

Brick nodded, tears welling up in his eyes. "You're right, Fein. I just wish I had listened to you before it was too late. I promise I won't make the same mistake again."

Fein smiled, patting him on the back. "That's all I can ask for, Brick. Just keep moving forward and never forget the lessons you learned today."

Fein sat down with Brick Norty and began to explain the events that had transpired. "You know, Brick, there are always people who try to gain power by any means necessary. They don't care about the consequences or who gets hurt in the process."

Brick nodded his head in agreement. "I learned that the hard way," he said, looking down at his hands.

Fein continued, "One group in particular, the Laughing Phantom, has been causing a lot of trouble. They've been making moves behind the scenes, manipulating people, and causing chaos wherever they go."

Brick looked up, his eyes filled with curiosity. "What kind of moves?" he asked.

Fein sighed. "They've been targeting powerful individuals, like Michael, and attempting to eliminate them. They've even gone after the Ranger's Eye itself, trying to take us down from the inside."

Brick shook his head in disbelief. "That's insane. Why would they do that?"

Fein shrugged. "Power, I suppose. They believe that by eliminating those who stand in their way, they can achieve their goals more easily. But it's never that simple."

Brick leaned forward, eager to hear more. "Tell me about the witches you stopped," he said.

Fein smiled wryly. "Ah, yes. The witches. They were causing all sorts of trouble in the city, using their magic to manipulate people and gain power. It took a lot of effort, but we managed to take them down."

Brick raised an eyebrow. "And the adventure in the tower? That sounds exciting."

Fein chuckled. "Oh, it was. We were hired to retrieve a valuable artifact from the top of a tower, but it turned out to be much more dangerous than we anticipated. We faced all sorts of traps and obstacles, but in the end, we emerged victorious."

Brick leaned back in his chair, his eyes gleaming. "And what about the North? I heard there's all sorts of strange things up there."

Fein nodded. "That's certainly true. We encountered all sorts of creatures, including a powerful sorcerer named Maxwell. He was quite the challenge, but we managed to defeat him."

Brick looked at Fein with a newfound respect. "You and the Ranger's Eye are really something else," he said.

Fein shrugged modestly. "We just do what needs to be done. It's not always pretty, but it's necessary."

As they talked, Fein couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness. Despite all they had accomplished, there was still so much work to be done. The Laughing Phantom was still out there, and who knew what other threats lurked in the shadows?

But for now, he was content to sit with his friend and reminisce about the past. They had been through a lot together, and Fein knew that no matter what the future held, they would face it together as well.

"Fein, let's go to the Laboratory." Brick suddenly Fein's thought process.

'Really? He just returned to his human form, and he was eager to do his job again? This guy is really a madman.' Fein sighed helplessly.

...

As they walked through the laboratory, Brick Norty couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia. He missed his lab and his experiments. He walked towards his desk and started to organize his papers.

Fein watched him with amusement. "It's good to see you back in your element," he said.

Brick Norty chuckled. "Yeah, it feels good to be back. But I have to admit, being a monster did have its perks. I had superhuman strength and speed. I could break through walls and lift heavy objects without breaking a sweat."

Fein raised an eyebrow. "I wouldn't recommend going back to that life, even if it did have its advantages. Though, I can help you with the perfect gene serum that would be compatible to you. In fact, I'm already a perfect organism as we currently talk."

Brick Norty grinned. "I know, I know. Damn, our research and hard work paid off. Help me with the perfect gene serum, okay?"

Fein walked over to a nearby table and picked up a device. "Speaking of superhuman abilities, have you seen this?"

Brick Norty turned around to look. "What is it?"

Fein held up the device. "It's a prototype of a new degu-powered weapon. It amplifies the user's degu abilities to the point where they can take down a building."

Brick Norty's eyes widened in fascination. "Wow, that's incredible. How does it work?"

Fein grinned. "Well, that's the secret. But I can tell you that it involves some of the most advanced technology in the world."

Brick Norty nodded in understanding. "I see. Well, let me know if you need any help with it. I'd love to see it in action."

Fein chuckled. "I'll keep that in mind. But for now, let's focus on our other projects."

Brick Norty nodded and went back to organizing his papers. As Fein walked away, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride for his friend. Despite everything he had been through, Brick Norty was still passionate about science and research.
