Kai never cared about fame.
But when you're the only man in the world merging biology, agriculture, energy, and architecture—fame finds you.
The day Grainleaf Prime hit global shelves, it went viral. Celebrities posted tasting reactions. Athletes endorsed MergeFit bars like steroids made legal. MergeTobacco got reviewed by cigar sommeliers on private jets. And one actress wore a custom dress made from MergeSilk, spun from restructured lettuce fiber. The label stitched into the neckline?
"Kai Farms. Tier 5 Certified."
He hadn't even approved the fabric for public release yet.
The Merge brand was everywhere. But Kai didn't celebrate. He doubled down.
MergeHumanitarian
While rich elites paid top dollar for MergeEggs, the world was still breaking.
Kai launched MergeHumanitarian. No marketing. No press release.
He merged high-yield grains, packed milk formula into solar-heated pouches, and grew Brightleaf—his healing lettuce—in Tier 5 rations. He gave it all to war zones, disaster camps, orphan shelters. Free.
A government tried to trace the drops. Couldn't.
MergeCore encrypted every move.
MergeIdentity
MergeMart Prestige passed 10,000 elite members. But that didn't matter.
What mattered was a teenager in Texas posting a video crying while eating his first MergeTomato.
A woman in Japan walked ten miles just to hold a pack of MergeCigs and whispered, "Clean."
Merge wasn't a product anymore.
It was hope.
It was survival.
Expansion Never Stops
Kai activated MergeStructure nodes.
Chicken coops that auto-sanitized.
Barns with climate-adaptive walls.
Warehouses that cooled without power.
Underground MergeTunnels for silent transfers.
Everything built itself.
Everything could only be controlled by him.
MergeCopy attempts by corporations failed every time.
MergeCore crushed fakes using a new system:
VaultGene Protocol: If any Tier 5 gene was stolen, it disintegrated into worthless dust.
Kai wasn't just building a farm anymore.
He was building something that couldn't be copied.
