Chapter 155: 155

Immortal .

Cancer Man .

Chronicle 2: Darkness Rises .

Chen Chen did not try to insert the three originals sent from Hollywood right away . He issued an order to the captain to take the Symphony of the Seas back to port .

It took four hours for the Symphony of the Seas to return to Walvis Bay from the open seas, enough time for Chen Chen to quickly finish the three movies .

Chen Chen took an NZT-48 before watching the first movie, Cancer Man . He quickly finished viewing the movie at a fast forward speed .

The movie was filmed from the perspective of a mad scientist . The genius scientist had developed a targeted drug known as “CAN-05” that could cure all forms of cancer . This led to the scientist eventually losing a basic sense of respect for life and beginning to lose his sense of self .

After that, with his astounding brilliance and talent, he managed to develop “CAN-09”, a drug that was able to transform all human body cells into controllable cancer cells . Once again, he began conducting subsequent clinical trials .

However, the clinical trials proved unsuccessful . He was also arrested by the police for breaking international regulations .

Before being captured, he injected CAN-09 in himself as a final act of desperation…

After an hour had passed, Chen Chen nodded contently at the ending credits displayed on the screen .

Excellent, a captivating opening, sensible plot development, all capped off with the ending of the protagonist taking a self-destructive approach . The movie perfectly encapsulated the nature and moral choices of mankind .

It could be said that this was a standard, streamlined commercial blockbuster .

Especially in the ending of the movie where the mad scientist underwent an endless loop of division and proliferation, ultimately turning into an indescribable huge lump of sarcoma . To the average audience, it would be an extremely shocking scene .

The director seemed to be using the movie as a cautionary tale to warn some scientists to not challenge the nature of mankind, lest they end up suffering from the consequences of their choices as seen in the movie .

This movie was going to sell like hotcakes!

Before even premiering, Chen Chen projected the movie’s global box office to reach at least 500 million U . S . dollars .

What was more important was that all aspects of the movie, whether it was the plot logic or scientific principles, matched the conventions of reality . Similar to the previous movie Deadly Crisis: A Shocking Scheme which Chen Chen had invested in, it was extremely likely to be able to be contained in the USB drive .

Chen Chen started the second movie on the computer – Immortal .

Compared to the previous movie, this one was a lot tamer since it was a literary movie . Still, Chen Chen patiently finished it at double speed .

Alright, still not much issue to be seen…

After that, Chen Chen turned to the final movie .

Since there was an appropriate amount of funding, Chronicle 2 did not adopt a mockumentary style but instead used a lot of long-distance filmography methods to convey a more realistic effect .

The plot was as Chen Chen described, set in ten years after the first movie . Cousin Matt traveled the world before ultimately returning to the small town he grew up in . He ended up discovering that the government had transformed the cave into an underground base .

Inside the underground base, the alien plantations inside the crystalline had long since perished and no longer produced new radiation . The giant sea urchin crystal was dissected into thousands of pieces by the government .

Each one of the several thousand pieces of crystals contained a portion of the power of the alien plantation . This was used to produce several hundreds of superpower users .

The powers of these users were nearly identical to that of the protagonist where they were able to move objects using telekinesis .

However, since they had only absorbed measly few pieces of crystals, the strength and potential of the power were nowhere close to that of the three protagonists in the first movie . The most they could do was manipulate small objects like coins or insects .

Cousin Matt also found out that Andrew had apparently survived . Only he was left in a vegetative state for the government to conduct secret research .

With Matt’s arrival, the telepathy connection between the two was triggered . Andrew finally awoke from his decade long slumber…

The movie ended with a battle between the two characters again . Compared to the previous battle, their powers had seen tremendous growth to a point where they were almost a mini Superman on their own .

A decade ago, Andrew could only stop a regular bullet . After a decade had passed, the two of them could effortlessly stop a tomahawk missile .

In the end, Matt finally got through to Andrew with a message of affection . The two of them decided to leave the country for good to start a brand new life .

The conclusion could be described as a very heartwarming ending .

The two protagonists of the movie were the two original cast of the first movie . Having the movie based in a decade after the first also explained the maturity of the two protagonists, since a decade had passed in canonical time as well .

After finishing the three movies, Chen Chen shut his eyes and made a mental review of the movies .

Upon ensuring there were no issues, Chen Chen went to the bathroom to wash his hands . He then returned to the computer and inserted the USB drive .

Over the last four months, the USB drive practically never left the charging port of the cruise ship . Taking the power generation rate of the five Leroy-somer LSA62 generators multiplied with an 85% power factor, the final tabulation was 100,000(KW . h) x 24(h) x 120 days x 0 . 85(cosΦ) .

This meant that over the last four months, the USB drive had been charged with approximately 250 million kilowatt-hours of electricity .

Based on Chen Chen’s previous calculations, extracting an object of one gram from the USB drive required 1,224 kW . h of electricity . Which meant that at this moment, the USB drive had enough electricity to extract objects weighing up to 200 kilograms .

This amount of power still proved to be quite lacking .

Chen Chen shook his head . Previously at Dlamini’s side, he was able to obtain 120 million kilowatts of electricity in five days . Yet, he only managed to yield double that amount of power with more than twenty times expended for the previous period .

Chen Chen exhausted nearly a combined 200 million U . S . dollars for the rental cost, crew salary, and fuel over the last four months for the sake of powering the USB drive . After conversion, the cost per kilowatt-hour is equivalent to more than 0 . 8 US dollars .

Uhmmm…

Constructing the nuclear power plant remained a more reliable approach . Powering the USB drive using the cruise ship alone was going to burn up all his money .

Chen Chen silently pondered on the matter .

The good news was that this was the largest amount of power Chen Chen had in the USB drive so far . Chen Chen felt like one of those housewives ready to go on a spending spree on Taobao during the 11 . 11 promotion season as he was filled with excitement .

Chen Chen took a deep breath before silently turning on the laptop and tapping on the USB drive logo .

There were a total of eight movies within the USB drive .

Apart from the four horror films that came with the USB drive, the other three films were inserted as an experiment back when he had just acquired the USB drive .

Apart from that, the last one was the first Chronicle movie he inserted before extracting the GS Combat Suit .

The eight movies sat idly in the USB drive, remaining the same as they had ever been .

Chen Chen paid no mind to the eight movies . He selected the [Cancer Man . mp4] folder and familiarly tapped [ctrl + c] before switching tabs to the USB drive window and clicking [ctrl + v] .

“Ding!”

The long-awaited notification alert . Chen Chen raised an eyebrow .

Cancer Man . Failure .

Chen Chen, who was under the effect of the drug, did not feel too dejected . He promptly held the [ctrl] button, highlighted the two remaining films, and pasted them in the USB drive together .

“Ding!”

Once again, there was a system error alert, but there was a shine in Chen Chen’s eyes .

He noticed that there was only one error window from the system error!

Chen Chen fixed his eyes and saw that it was Immortal that prompted the system error output . Chronicle 2, on the other hand, went through…
