Godzilla, Biohazard—things that only existed in films in my past life now appear in this world. Clearly, this world is far more complex than I imagined.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Nan rubbed his temples. Since leaving the Douglas family a year ago, he had received one hundred million dollars in development funding from Dr. Ma Xiu, then aggressively expanded ICQ, the instant messaging software, and founded ICQ Corporation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight months later, thanks to substantial capital and assistance from the Douglas family, he had successfully turned ICQ Corporation into a massive online platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Games, novels, anime, online cinemas, security software, search engines—everything profitable was covered, essentially encompassing the entire internet. ICQ Corporation was, without doubt, a flagship of American high technology, with operations expanded into thirty-eight major countries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its annual net profit reached one billion dollars, and as the internet entered more households, the company continued to grow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ring-ring—” The phone beside Ye Nan rang. He glanced at the number and his expression changed instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dear Mr. Ye Nan, it seems you’re living a very leisurely life.” Dr. Ma Xiu’s voice came from the other end of the line. “Ah, I never imagined one hundred million dollars could turn ICQ into such a giant—truly enviable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Speak up, my dear Dr. Ma Xiu. What do you want? If you need funds, go to the Douglas family—they’re the real millionaires.” Ye Nan crossed his legs, lounging casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lately, Dr. Ma Xiu had bothered him constantly—either asking for money or urging him to take Little Godzilla out hunting. He had refused every time, yet now Ma Xiu showed no sign of giving up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing much. I don’t need money right now.” Dr. Ma Xiu spread his hands, shrugging on the other end. “I heard your sister is going to Isla Nublar for a trip. How about joining her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, but I’m not really interested. You know, ICQ has a lot of work to handle.” Ye Nan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the company, he only needed to sign documents and set broad directions, yet even that was exhausting. Without assistance from Douglas family talent, he would have collapsed long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he remained wary of William Douglas. Ancient families like his would do anything if they realized he wasn’t delivering what they wanted. As far as he knew, William had spent hundreds of billions of dollars funding hundreds of scientists in pursuit of immortality—who knew how many of them were frauds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, that’s such a pity. I was hoping you’d bring Little Godzilla to Isla Nublar for a hunt. You see, my research has hit a dead end—I urgently need new genetic material.” Dr. Ma Xiu complained on the other end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Nan knew perfectly well the trouble Ma Xiu was in. After receiving massive research funding from the Douglas family, Ma Xiu had modified Little Godzilla’s cells, injecting bat cells into his body to grant him flight capability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He later injected several other cell types, but all triggered rejection reactions—as if Little Godzilla were digesting the bat cells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on, Ma Xiu, isn’t Little Godzilla pitiful enough? Can’t you just let him live in peace? Don’t you know each rejection is excruciating pain for him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, you don’t understand. Little Godzilla is sacrificing himself for science. Besides, his entire body is invaluable. His strength far surpasses his mother Godzilla’s, and his cells are constantly changing, still possessing immense evolutionary potential.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ma Xiu, drop the act. Do you think I don’t know you? ‘Sacrificing for science’? You’re a fraud.” Ye Nan sneered dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had always looked down on Ma Xiu’s deception of William Douglas—and he also felt a flicker of worry. No lie lasts forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How can you call me a fraud, dear Ye Nan? Don’t forget—if not for me, how could you have turned ICQ into this in just a few months? Remember, the Douglas family supports you only because of my reputation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it. I won’t argue with you. Are you really not going to Isla Nublar? The scenery is beautiful, and there are countless prehistoric dinosaurs there—normally, no one is allowed in. This time, Dr. Hammond invited you; he must have succeeded in his research.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And I’m very interested in dinosaur DNA. Little Godzilla needs it. Come on, Ye Nan, think again—how about sneaking back a dinosaur egg?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dr. Ma Xiu spoke with irresistible temptation. Since discovering that Little Godzilla could absorb other organisms’ cells to strengthen himself, Ma Xiu had been ecstatic, constantly injecting other biological cells into him—yet all had triggered rejection. Now, with Dr. Hammond opening Isla Nublar, Ma Xiu saw it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait—you said what? Dinosaurs? Prehistoric dinosaurs?” Ye Nan stood up, stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dr. Ma Xiu seemed pleased with Ye Nan’s shock. He spoke softly on the other end: “Of course—prehistoric dinosaurs. Dr. Hammond’s team of scientists extracted dinosaur DNA from blood preserved in ancient mosquitoes trapped in amber, repaired and cultivated it, and successfully bred a large number of dinosaurs—all now on Isla Nublar.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s said Dr. Hammond plans to turn Isla Nublar into a massive Jurassic Park for public viewing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jurassic Park.” Ye Nan murmured, then firmly said: “Fine. I’m going.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1022,"2026-06-21T03:32:50.781Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","32a0efedc75950df4dade6ae55cc19f252f6d0d1bb055d3cdd4f1e33bdd173ee","arrival-in-1994-chapter-11","arrival-in-1994-chapter-9",643,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Farrival-in-1994-cover.jpg"]
