It's been three hours since my fight with John.

Currently, I'm in my room behind my desk writing what I want as a reward.

Right now I seriously need a laboratory of my own. There are a lot of groundbreaking things I can do now because of my intellect and I intend to make use of them.

I also need to satisfy my vanity. I have a lot of dreams that I couldn't fulfill but in this life, I will make them come true.

Back then I wanted to be a billionaire, it's a big dream I know but unfortunately, I couldn't achieve it due to my restraints as a Secret Scientist. Now, I will make that happen here.

Apart from the sentiment, it will also go a long way to help me achieve my overall goal in this world so I guess it's not all bad.

I also need a laptop, preferably a Thinkpad. It was the best laptop in the nineties where I'm from and since this universe has a lot of similarities to my own I'm guessing it should exist.

I really need to hack into Vought's database. Why won't I just scan Vogelbaum's memories you may ask?

Well, that's because I will but I doubt this corporation will make a Scientist even if he is valuable privy to highly sensitive information.

I have twenty-twenty computer science knowledge plus all the new and advanced things I've learned here so it's not going to be that hard to hack into this company's database.

Since I'm done writing the things I need, it's time to analyze my fight with John.

I need to increase my strength, I know my physical potential is less than Johns's but I can still become stronger.

I've been too focused on my mental abilities that I've neglected my physical, it was a good decision by the way but this fight has showed me that I need to utilize every advantage I have.

I know many martial arts due to my father, it's just left with conditioning my body to utilize them properly.

My [Telepathy] also needs training. I need to increase my range and improve my skill in it.

This is an ability that I can use to manipulate the minds of organisms, and I intend to utilize it very much.

But I have to start with something small so that I can clean up if I mess up. Hmmm, I guess I will start with animals first. I can't practice on humans as if I fuck up, the truth will be revealed and I can't let that happen.

My [Psychokinesis] doesn't need much attention now.

My mastery in it is high enough that I can even use it to coat my exterior making it increase my durability and attack potency.

All that's left is to create new techniques and continue my hellish training method.

The last thing I need to improve is my [ESP].

The range needs to increase, it has been improving without me doing anything but it's too slow for my liking.

Creating a training regime for it will not necessarily be a problem if I can successfully apply all the things I've learnt in fiction.

For example, Observation Haki from One piece is highly similar to it except maybe the future vision which I hope I can use in the future.

The training method of Observation Haki is plausible so the possibility of it working here is very high.

Well, I guess that's it for now. The goals, for now, are as follows:

~1. Train my physique and all other abilities with emphasis on my physique and [Telepathy].

~2. Hack into the company's database.

~3. Make my past dreams a reality.

Since that's settled, let's list the things I've written on my wishlist.

~1. A personal state-of-the-art laboratory provided with 'resources'.

~2. A laptop preferably a Thinkpad or the best laptop currently available.

~3. Workout equipment.

Now it's time to take a shower and go to Vogelbaum's lab to submit my list and mind rape him a little bit.

I get up from my desk and enter the bathroom and after thirty minutes of bathing and dressing up, I leave my room and head towards my destination.

I arrive in front of his lab shortly after and enter it.

It is a medium-sized medical lab equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and it is also air-conditioned like the rest of the labs and rooms making it suitably cold.

He is standing in front of a large centrifugation machine at the back of the room wearing his lab coat.

He is absorbed in his work so he didn't hear me entering the room and approaching him.

I arrive at his back and poke him to gain his attention. He turns around with an annoyed look but when he sees me it vanishes.

"Oh Virgil it's you, are you done with your list?"

He asks, taking a seat on the lab chair next to him and gestures me to do the same.

"I came here to submit it actually."

I reply, extending my paper to him.

He takes it and reads it carefully with a thoughtful look on his face.

After he is done, he places the list down and looks at me.

"All the things here can be arranged except for your first list. Getting the lab isn't a problem but getting a supply of resources for your experiments is outside my capabilities. You need approval from the company."

He explains.

I have already calculated the fact that I won't be getting the resources easily. It's just left with what I need to do to get it.

"I see, so what do I need to do?"

I ask calmly.

"The executives told me to start utilizing your intellect for the benefit of the company so if you do something special I can convince them to get you almost unlimited resources. All you need to do is to do or create something that the company can use to its advantage."

He explains with a smile.

Hmm, if that's the case then I know what to do now.

"Okay, that won't be a problem. Expect something from me in a week. And please send the things I wrote tomorrow."

"Don't worry, you will get them today even. I expect great things from you Virgil, and if you need or have any difficulties you know where to find me."

He patiently says.

I nod, leave the room and go towards my room. On the way, I start to think of the things I learnt in his mind and the things I have to do.

I already knew this company has roots in almost every sector but it's now I've seen how much deeper it gets.

This company can capitalize on anything at all so far as it's concerning Supes and I can use that to my advantage now.

Surprisingly, John is the son of Soldier Boy who is still alive but is in Russian captivity.

Hmmm, that's very interesting.

And the Founder's wife is still alive and kicking. Unsurprisingly, she is racist and she is the first supe created not Soldier Boy.

It seems this company is hiding a lot of things from the public, my plan of hacking into their database will yield many bountiful fruits I intend to enjoy.

Oh well, that's for another day. Right now, I've already decided on what to do for the company.

Vogelbaum said anything that will benefit the company, and what's more juicy than a child solving some of humanity's biggest scientific problems.

And with the thought in mind, I arrive in my room and walk to my desk, in order to plan my rise to fame.
