In a room, there was a meeting between two men. One of them had blond hair and wore a white coat. While the other, has brown hair and wears a black suit.
The room they were in was now filled with glass bottles of various colors. Not only that, a refrigerator containing petri dishes was also in the room. This space is more suitable to be called a laboratory with the existence of these items.
“Do you get the goods, Roman?” ask the blond man while fixing his glasses.
“Yes, Mr. Giorgio's. I managed to get some vegetables from the auction. I also heard that they will hold another auction in New York,” Roman replied.
“Is the efficacy of the vegetables indeed like the one in the rumors?”
“I don't know Mr. Giorgio's. I haven't tried those vegetables.”
Some time ago Roman Black got a task from his boss, Lucas Giorgio, a well-known researcher in Europe, to buy the magical vegetables discussed on social media. Roman himself was not convinced that the vegetables had extraordinary properties.
Roman can only follow Lucas' orders to buy some of those magical vegetables. However, when following the auction, Roman began to realize that most likely the vegetables were indeed miracle vegetables.
Everyone present in the auction was excited to win the auctioned product. Through the translator he brought, Roman knew that they did not want to miss the golden opportunity.
Then, after buying all the vegetables, Roman did not dare to try it at all. It will be used by Lucas for his research. If Roman eats it, then he'll get trouble from Lucas.
Roman then took out the products he won from the auction. He put it all on the table in front of Lucas.
Looking at the amount of stuff Roman took out, Lucas frowned.
“Only this is what you managed to buy?”
“I'm sorry, Mr. Giorgio's. Not that I meant bringing you a little sample. It's just, it's pretty hard for me to get all this. Tickets for the auction are limited. Not many want to resell the tickets they have.”
“Then, the number of items I can buy is limited. So, even if I have enough money, it will not be easy for me to buy products that are in the auction. I also tried to buy items from other auction participants. But they rejected it.”
This makes Roman increasingly believe that the products are indeed true efficacy. Initially Roman had thought that the auction participants were mercenaries to enliven the situation.
But all that he tepis after he offers to replace five times the price that other auction participants spend to buy a product. Many say they follow this auction because it is difficult to get these vegetables in an online auction.
“It's very little. I'm not sure I can figure out the truth about these vegetables if I only have a few specimens like this.”
A study will not be successful in several experiments. Many failures need to be achieved to get a result. It is possible to do hundreds or even thousands of experiments to find results.
The vegetables brought by Roman were still less than enough to meet his research needs. At least Lucas needs hundreds of vegetables for each type so that his research is not hampered.
“Mr. Giorgio, you don't have to worry. I've got someone to go to the farmer's online auction. I heard, he said he has re-opened an online auction for his product.”
“Then, another three days auction will be held in New York. Tickets are now on sale. From my observation, not many have bought those auction tickets. There is likely not many who know or rule out this auction.”
“I've bought fifty auction tickets. Later, me and my men will join the auction and get as many vegetables as possible for you,” explained Roman.
Roman was convinced this way they could buy as many vegetables as possible to give to Lucas. The number of auction participants in New York was only two hundred participants. Then, each person only needs to pay a hundred dollars.
For Roman to spend five thousand dollars to master one-fourth of the auction participants is not too much of a problem.
“Stupid. Why are you even using such a troublesome way? There's a faster way to get that vegetable in bulk why don't you do it?”
“Sorry, Mr. Giorgio's. I don't understand what you mean.”
“Of course you need to go to that farmer and buy directly to him. He must have more stock. I think it's pretty easy for you to find her whereabouts, right? If he won't do it, you can look for the farmer's weakness and threaten him.”
“It was so easy, wasn't it? Why are you waiting for me to give you advice like this?” asked Lucas with his voice flat.
There was a little anger from Lucas' tone. He does not like Roman who is less responsive in completing something that simple.
“Sorry, Mr. Giorgio's. Everything is not as easy as you say. It seems that the farmer is not an indiscriminate person. You see for yourself no, the little girl who was with him could eat fire. I'm sure the people around him must have strange abilities.”
This is the reason why Roman chose the troublesome way Lucas thought it was. He does not know the strength of the enemy for sure. If Roman wanted to investigate the enemy, then he would need quite a long time.
To get the vegetables in large quantities and quickly, only a troublesome way is best.
“Are you that cowardly Roman? I paid you dearly not to be a coward like this. I don't want to know, you have to find a way for me to get a specimen for my research as soon as possible.”
“If you want to put in a little effort, I'm sure you'll find that farmer's weakness. You haven't even tried anything, and now you've given up. Now go and carry out the task I gave it!” snapped Lucas.
“Alright, Mr. Giorgio's. I will carry out this task well.”
It seemed that Lucas could not avoid this slightly dangerous way. He needed to bring more men to investigate the enemy.
Not long after Lucas' departure, a beautiful black-haired woman sebahu entered the laboratory room. In his hand was already a pile of paper filled with scribbles.
“Professor Giorgio, I came with our last research report,” the woman said as she submitted the file she was carrying.
“You just put it there Jessica. I need to take care of this new research,” Lucas replied.
Jessica Smith was Lucas' assistant who helped him with his research. He is young, but he is very intelligent. Lucas hired him as his assistant.
“New research? What's Professor about this time?” jessica asked, very excited.
Doing research, let alone something new, made Jessica's heart pound. Adrenaline will be high when talking about research.
Then, Jessica's gaze was fixed on the vegetables neatly arranged in front of Lucas.
“Eh …. Professor, are you going to cook in your lab? Don't we have our own kitchen? Why did you bring groceries here?” ask Jessica curiously.
As Jessica recalled, Lucas was not used to cooking. He often told the guards to buy food from outside. It was quite surprising for Jessica to see the ingredients in the laboratory.
“We won't make this a foodstuff. But, everything here is the object of our research.”
“I-this ... do you mean that magical vegetable that I spoke to you Professor?” jessica asked to be sure.
The first to discover the existence of the magical vegetable was Jessica. When he took his lunch break, he played one of the videos to entertain himself. He did not expect to find anything horrendous.
Even harder, Jessica believes, now Lucas is bringing these vegetables to research. Jessica is looking forward to uncovering the secrets behind these vegetables. Why do they have such an amazing ability?
“Yes. I told Roman to get this for us. Now he's going to look for additional vegetables to support our research. Let's start researching this vegetable. I want to uncover all his secrets.”
“Of course, Professor Giorgio. I'll help you complete this research. My heart is already pounding, I can't wait to know everything.”
