The Great Medical Saint

Tessa said to the cab driver, "Starting today, I'm done being the old Tessa. I'm

ready to give up my reputation, my body, and even my soul for success. I'll stop at nothing until I get what I want.

"You're my fresh start. This will be the new chapter for the ruthless me. Aren't you going to give me a free ride?"

As the cab driver dropped her off at the Evans residence, she pulled out a knife. He was so scared that he didn't even try to collect the fare.

Despite so, everything was still just Tessa's wishful thinking.

Sure, she could embrace her dark side, throwing away her dignity and conscience

to make money. But in the end, she still wouldn't make a lot. Acquiring the prowess of a cultivator was even more impossible.

Tessa wandered around like a lost soul, completely unaware of how much time had passed.

A person in front of her suddenly called out, "Tessa Sanders!"

What? She looked up and saw a man in his 30s. Rocking thick glasses and a checkered shirt, he had a slim build with a beard on his face.

At first glance, Tessa could tell the man was Leander Farburg.

Four years ago, before Matthew was locked up, the company had close to 10 million dollars saved up. Leander mentioned he was working on a brain-computer interface experiment and wanted to pitch it to Matthew for investment.noveldrama

Matthew wasn't around, so Tessa handled it and turned Leander down pretty quickly. She didn't expect to see Leander around.

"Oh, it's you. If you're looking for investments, just forget it."

Leander responded with a grin, "I'm not looking to raise funds. Instead, I'm searching for volunteers. Our brain-computer interface experiment has been a success, and we've developed an exoskeleton system. We're looking for both male and female volunteers for the human trials."

Tessa had no clue what Leander was talking about. "I see. Just get back to what you're doing. I won't bother you anymore."

Leander enthusiastically continued, "Hold on. Are you aware of what my research project is about? Let me put it this way. An average woman can lift about 50 pounds. But with my product, she can carry up to 1,000 pounds.

"Upon using my product, a woman's strength can rival that of a man. If we enhance it with some upgrades, she might even have the strength equivalent of 100 men.

"I heard your company closed down. Are you interested in being our volunteer?"

Having strength equivalent to 100 men? Tessa's eyes immediately lit up as if she had caught a glimmer of hope.

After clearing her throat, she excitedly asked, "Let's say there's a guy who is super strong and great in combat. If I put on the exoskeleton, can I take him down?"

Leander was caught off guard. He was surprised that someone would bring up fighting with it. Nevertheless, he was confident about it.

"I believe that if you wear the exoskeleton, no one can stand up to you."

Tessa perked up. "Really?"

She wasn't skeptical about exoskeletons, but she just wanted Leander to give her the details on what an exoskeleton was.

Leaned sported a solemn look. "Of course. I shall explain to you what is a brain- computer interface and what is an exoskeleton.

"A brain-computer interface is a chip implanted in your brain to receive nerve signals. Then, it'll transmit the signal to an exoskeleton."

Tessa frowned. "What's an exoskeleton?"

Leander was surprised that Tessa knew nothing, so he thought for a moment before explaining, "Think of it as a robot with only its shell. For example, you can control the leg with your brainwaves to lift it, kick with it, and walk.

"If someone with disability wears it, he can walk with his brainwave signal. For a healthy person, wearing it means the mechanical leg does the walking. You can command it with your mind and let your leg rest.

"Moreover, that leg packs quite a punch. As long as the battery is charged, you can kick up to tens of thousands of pounds of force.

"But that's just in theory. Realistically, we don't have enough electricity to do that. However, it can still pull off 1,000 pounds in a kick."

Delivering a kick with 1,000 pounds of strength? Tessa felt her entire body tingling with excitement. By wearing this exoskeleton, she could make Matthew beg for mercy with one kick.

Wait, her kick might achieve more than making Matthew drop to his knees. She could have kicked him to death with one single kick.

At that point, Matthew's billions of fortune would go to Lorraine. She could become Lorraine's guardian and had full control of that wealth.

Thinking about it got Tessa all pumped up. "I'd love to be a volunteer."
