Liu Rui'an, who had teleported back to Earth with the Cosmic Cube, took advantage of the chaos caused by the Chitauri invasion to pack up all the "loot" stored in the underground base of Umbrella Technology and send it to the bases on Mercury and Venus.

Considering he was about to go on a long trip, who knew what might happen while he was away.

Liu Rui'an also temporarily acted as a mover, packing and sending away all the sensitive items from Umbrella Technology.

Maria Hill, still in her OL uniform, squatted between the legs of the person who had just finished working, continuously swallowing and licking, and asked in a somewhat muffled voice:

"Boss, what should we do with the empty spaces after the labs are moved?"

"Empty spaces?" Liu Rui'an, enjoying the meticulous service, hesitated for a moment and said:

"In the future, Umbrella Company will temporarily only operate the 'NEW' series of biological beverages and the virtual reality game 'Lost in the Star Sea.'"

"Since a lot of space has been freed up, half of it will be used to build production lines for the 'NEW' series of biological beverages, and the other half will be used by the game department."

"Game department?" Maria Hill, who was momentarily stunned, said, "Boss, the underground labs are almost all empty now."

"Except for the core area at the bottom, everything else has been moved. The game department doesn't need that much space."

With a thought, Liu Rui'an poured two glasses of wine from a nearby bar, added a few ice cubes, and said with a smile:

"It's simple. Have the Protoss build more game pods, and then recruit full-time players to work directly at the company."

Maria Hill, with her capabilities, was certainly not someone who could be compared to those who only use their bodies to please someone.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Umbrella Company, which had assets worth billions in a short time, to be managed by her and managed so well.

"Boss, do you mean to recruit talented people full-time for the game and then select suitable talents to join the company?" Maria Hill, who quickly grasped the key point, said.

"Exactly." Liu Rui'an, who brought the wine glasses to the two of them, nodded and said.

"But, boss, since we already have the technology for creating artificial humans and clones, why do we need to recruit people externally?" Maria Hill, who took the wine glass, couldn't help but remind him:

"What if agents from S.H.I.E.L.D., HYDRA, or other forces infiltrate? Wouldn't that be very dangerous?"

"Danger? What can be done without danger? We can't stop eating just because we might choke." Leaning back on the soft and comfortable sofa, Liu Rui'an tasted a sip of the fine wine and laughed:

"Moreover, my purpose in doing this is not entirely to select talent, but more to collect a sufficient number of genetic samples."

Indeed, this answer was not a bluff, nor was it a lack of trust in Maria Hill.

Ever since he felt the powerful mental force from Loki's scepter and figured out some of its uses, Liu Rui'an immediately "reinforced" Maria Hill's loyalty.

Although many core pieces of information were still not shared with her, at least managing all the Earth-based industries was not a problem.

As for why he needed to collect human genes, it was simple. According to the official Marvel setting, there might be a huge "treasure" hidden in the genes of humans in this world.

For example, about a million years ago, the Celestials came to Earth and conducted genetic experiments on the highest form of life on Earth, leading to the birth of early humans.

After testing various changes in human genes, the Celestials created two types of human offspring: the Eternals and the Deviants.

The only legacy they left behind from their important human experiments was a dormant DNA synthesis that would one day undergo a benign mutation.

This synthesis is known as the X-gene in later times.

Although the concept of mutants won't appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe due to copyright issues, the X-gene does exist.

This also explains why, in "Avengers: Age of Ultron," characters like Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, who cannot be mutants due to copyright issues and are different from the Inhumans represented by Skye, appear.

Moreover, although the Marvel Cinematic Universe is an independent world, its background is vast and extensive.

In such a situation, who knows if new genes or bloodlines might emerge among humans.

Of course, relying solely on "Lost in the Star Sea" to collect genes is extremely inefficient.

However, Liu Rui'an didn't plan to leave everything to Maria Hill, who was kneeling between his legs.

While the two were discussing the restructuring of Umbrella Company, Skye was using ample funds and a large workforce to purchase an island.

Cerralvo Island is located in the Cerralvo Channel off the coast of southern Mexico in the Sea of Cortez, covering 60 square miles and remains an undeveloped virgin land.

It was once a volcano, so it has a mountain-like shape. There are a few large houses on the island, but definitely no neighbors.

The typical Mexican weather, fine sandy beaches, and plenty of sunshine, along with the most important complete privacy, as it is 30 miles from the mainland.

The island was listed for $350 million, and under normal circumstances, acquiring it would not be as simple as just paying the money.

Unfortunately, a good show of an alien invasion was happening in New York, causing the whole world to be on edge.

Moreover, Cerralvo Island was originally a volcano, and who knew if there might be any problems.

With some less public methods, Skye didn't have to put in too much effort to acquire the island.

Once Cerralvo Island was in hand, with the help of the Protoss, Skye quickly made detailed plans for her territory.

In just a little over ten days, a company called Star Sea Trade Group was officially registered.

The company's business scope was not extensive, but when it was officially announced at a press conference, it caused a huge stir.

It was impossible not to be sensational when a private company was already doing interstellar development and immigration business while humans were still "dominating" only on Earth.

Of course, most people initially held a skeptical attitude towards this news.

However, the Star Sea Trade Group did not just provide enough photos and video materials at the press conference; they even had a passenger spacecraft parked on the platform outside the conference.

Moreover, at the end of the press conference, the spokesperson of the Star Sea Trade Group invited all the media reporters to board the spacecraft and experience a thrilling journey of leaving Earth and heading into space.

The destination of this journey was not Mercury or Venus, but Titan, the core of this alien immigration plan.

Titan (also known as Saturn's moon) is the largest moon of Saturn and the second-largest moon in the solar system.

Dutch physicist, astronomer, and mathematician Christiaan Huygens discovered it on March 25, 1655, making it the first moon discovered in the solar system after the Galilean moons of Jupiter.

Titan has extremely low surface gravity, similar to the Moon, but it also has a thick atmosphere, with surface atmospheric pressure about 1.5 times that of Earth, leading to the strong suspicion of the existence of life. Scientists also speculate that methane in the atmosphere might be the basis of life.

In fact, no life has been found on Titan, at least not in the exploration of this giant moon so far.

Moreover, the environment on Titan is completely unsuitable for human habitation. However, this was not a problem for Liu Rui'an.

In a short time, as many as eighteen survival zones had been established in key areas of Titan.

These survival zones had different functions, some responsible for agriculture, some for industry, and some for military use, among others.

Regardless of their function, these survival zones were sufficient to accommodate a significant number of human immigrants. In fact, a certain number of artificial humans had already been stationed in these survival zones.

After demonstrating the complete living, medical, transportation, education, and even dietary facilities to the media reporters, the Star Sea Trade Group also live-streamed the recruitment conditions and corresponding benefits through the quantum communication network.

The entire news live broadcast caused a huge stir in human society.

Especially when the recruitment conditions of the Star Sea Trade Group clearly stated that as long as you had the ability, regardless of your race or past, you could apply for one of the thousands of positions, the official website quickly received job applications from all over the country.

Leaving one's hometown, especially leaving Earth to live on an alien planet, is something many people are unwilling to do.

However, the benefits and treatment offered by the Star Sea Trade Group were so good that there were naturally no shortage of people willing to take the risk.

In addition, many people, for various reasons, either voluntarily or involuntarily, also submitted applications.

The actions of the Star Sea Trade Group naturally caught the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D. immediately.

When it was confirmed that Skye was the boss of this newly established company, Nick Fury knew it was the work of someone.

Moreover, with the sudden disappearance of the Cosmic Cube and Loki's scepter, as well as the missing Dr. Erik Selvig, Liu Rui'an, who was enjoying Maria Hill's special service, soon received an invitation to meet from Nick Fury.
