Marvel's princess becomes king

Chapter 151 Promise

The powerful psychic ability promises not to be used easily, but it is not unnecessary. The old bald man used it twice secretly, without anyone noticing it. It is not difficult at all to read the memories of a few salted fish mages.

There is no question of who is superior and who is inferior in powers and magic. Like Omega-level mutants, Vulcan, the god of fire, can absorb magic forcefully. He regards magic as a kind of energy, and there is no obstacle to absorbing it.

In addition, the old bald man had Storm beside him, so it was not surprising that he knew the existence of magic.

Bella answered very frankly: "I'm not like them, and I'm not like Orolo, I am"

Charles quickly raised his hand to signal her to stop, and said with a smile: "Ololo once explained the principles of those magics to me, to be honest, I didn't understand, and I don't understand the strange energies you manipulate .”

He didn't go too deep into the topic of magic, but talked about his own intentions: "Miss Swan, I want to cooperate with you."

"Cooperation?"

"Yes, cooperate, I can see that you are a good person, and you are not hostile to mutants."

Bella pushed his wheelchair without saying a word, waiting for the old man to continue.

"The various ideas of mutants are still in their infancy. The world is not ready, and neither are mutants. Contradictions erupted so abruptly."

The old man sighed: "The longer I live, the more powerless I feel. When I was young, I wanted to correct those mistakes, but what happened later proved that I was not right. Of course, my enemies were not right either. In the face of survival, no one is right."

Bella was a little confused, what does this have to do with her?Is it to allow myself to write a book about the peaceful coexistence of mutants and humans?

"I hope to cooperate with you, use your perspective to make some more objective judgments, identify the pros and cons, and correct some mutants or human wrongdoings."

The old man spoke very complicatedly, but Bella understood the core meaning.

To put it bluntly, I want to hire her as a thug, whether it is a mutant or a human, as long as there is something that does not conform to the old bald man's values, Bella will help him solve it, and the old man can pretend not to know, and he can still be in front of others. Behind the scenes, he maintains his image of a mellow elder.

The old man was a thief, and the word he used was cooperation, not employment.

In other words, it's a deal.

You help me catch a mutant who wants to destroy, and I will help you once later, and you help me get rid of another one, and I will help you in other ways.

Bella is a little afraid of trouble: "I'm still in the learning stage, if it's too powerful an enemy, then I must be"

Sure what?Definitely can't beat it!

What if Professor Charles asked her to catch Magneto?Without a particularly suitable timing and environment, she really can't beat Magneto.

The old bald man patted the back of her hand gently: "There's no rush, you don't need to change anything specially, just do your own thing according to the plan."

"Okay, I agree." Bella had no reason to refuse such a verbal promise, and she agreed immediately.

That afternoon, she flew back to Stanford.

The Da Vinci Code is selling very well in the United States. In less than a month, it has become the No.3 best-selling book in the United States.

A reporter from the Los Angeles Times came to interview her.

In terms of character design, it is still the old-fashioned pitiful, weak and helpless kind, who looks easy to bully, but this time the photos are much more beautiful!

After all, in the eyes of the public, Bella is already rich and has already enjoyed the benefits of overnight fame under capitalism. If she is dressed in tatters and unkempt, it is really not inspirational enough!Not enough of the American dream!

After her beautiful photos were published, there was a steady stream of spiritual compliments.

There must be quite a few of them with nasty thoughts, but compared to the increase in strength, she thinks she can bear it, isn't it just licking photos?Let them lick it!

On Stanford's campus, Bella's popularity has increased a bit, but there are many capable people who have made great things when they were students at Stanford. Her achievements can only be said to be not low. Compared with a person who made millions of profits by an algorithm, she is still worse.

Stanford is too deeply influenced by Silicon Valley, and literary work cannot be said to be despised, but for those high-achieving students, only talents in the IT industry, economics, and medical fields are the top talents, and the rest of the profession is the same.

"Oh ho ho ho ho—" In the dormitory, Bella couldn't help laughing out as she calculated her royalties.

At this time, The Da Vinci Code has sold nearly 70 copies, and the hardcover edition is being printed. She has finished writing the Spanish and French editions and emailed them to Random House.

The existing royalty income alone has exceeded 100 million, and this is only the initial stage. In her impression, 750 million copies of The Da Vinci Code have been printed in the United States alone, and now it is not even a tenth.

But the money has to be taxed, and Random House will not be able to settle the royalties for her until the end of the year. In other words, she is still not rich at this time

The Zodiac Killer incident has been slowly forgotten by the people of California, and the human trafficking incident in Paris seems to have been satisfactorily resolved, and Bella's family is preparing for a family trip.

It's been almost a year since the new family started, Charlie and Samantha went to Spain for their honeymoon, and Bella and Natasha went to Paris for 'playing', but the family of four has never taken a trip, which is very strange. U.S.

On Friday, Charlie called Bella, who was still writing a new book at Stanford, back to Los Angeles, and their family of four was going to travel.

"The Hunger Games? This is your new book? Yo, it's the heroine!" Natasha flipped through Bella's manuscript, and gradually became interested.

"The Patriarchy? Is this a futuristic utopian setting? I always thought you would only write religious stories."

She watched it with relish, as if she wanted to find out some mistakes and omissions, and make Bella laugh.

But as the story slowly deepened, Natasha's eyes twitched involuntarily when she saw the heroine taking part in the Hunger Games in place of her sister.

She was a little moved by the affection of her sister dying for her sister in the text, but she still pointed to the paragraph and asked: "Is this written based on me? I am this weak sister with blond hair and blue eyes, and you are the heroic and heroic sister." sister?"

"Ah? Haha——" Bella raised her head and laughed. Her cheap sister seemed to have misunderstood something. The Hunger Games was originally a plot arrangement. She was a book copyer. How could she substitute her true emotions!

But this thing is really hard to explain, if you misunderstand, just misunderstand.
