Chapter 9 Test and Exchange

In a tent, several terrorists were sitting in front of a monitor with a few drawings with only some parts drawn on them, monitoring Tony Stark's movements, and pretending to make comparisons, unaware of the drawings in their hands. In fact, it is not a missile blueprint at all.

Bai Lu clicked her tongue and said in wonder:

"Tsk, tsk, these terrorists took the blueprints and didn't realize that what Tony Stark built was not a missile at all. They are not only illiterate but also blind. Even knowledge can't change their fate."

After Bai Lu said this, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.

Happy's eyes twitched. He had also filmed this scene when he was directing Iron Man. At that time, he thought that the terrorists would not be blind even if they were uneducated. However, in order to highlight the protagonist's advantages, he still portrayed the terrorists as stupid.

Unexpectedly, the terrorists were actually stupider than he thought.

However, Poppets still looked worried. She had also watched Iron Man, so she knew what was on Tony's chest, and she remembered that Tony's plan was discovered by terrorists at the last minute. If it hadn't been for another companion Dr. Ethan risked his life to help, then the movie would have another ending.

Moreover, movies are movies and reality is reality. Papopetz does not dare to bet that reality will follow the script.

"Mr. Bai Lu, what do we need to pay? Are you willing to ensure the safety of Tony and Dr. Ethan?"

Bai Lu said with some surprise:

"Well Dr. Ethan, are you sure you want to save him too? His fate is death."

Bai Lu didn't mention what happened to Tony. Even if there was an accident, he would have to erase the accident and let reality go according to the script. Otherwise, if the protagonist of Iron Man dies in reality, wouldn't it mean that his prediction of the future is unreliable?

He did want to see unknown changes, but that was only under the premise that he was watching.

Now, he had really pretended to be in front of everyone before. Ahem, he didn't feel so good at all. How could he lose face?

Happy said with great imagination:

"How about reshooting the ending and changing it to a happy ending where Dr. Ethan is still alive?"

Bai Lu rolled her eyes and said angrily:

"You really treat reality like a video tape that has been edited at random, and you can do whatever you want with it."

"We have to give it a try. First tell us what we have to pay."

Poppets didn't want to give up, she didn't want Tony to have any regrets.

"How about exchanging one life for another, exchanging another person's life for Dr. Ethan's life."

Bai Lu still had a smile on her face, but without any warmth, she stated her conditions calmly.

""

Papopetz fell silent and frowned.

Capital is cruel, especially capital that started with arms like Stark Industries. As Tony Stark's life assistant, Poppets is not just Tony Stark's housekeeper. The willful Tony Stark company belongs to him. The management of the company was left to Papopetz, so Papopetz was not an innocent little girl.

Among other things, because newly developed weapons have many hidden problems and can easily cause casualties, Stark Industries signed a group of testers with expensive funeral expenses. To put it bluntly, they were paying for their lives.

However, this is a consensual transaction, very fair, and every weapon of Stark Industries has been scientifically and rigorously inspected from design to production, so the possibility of accidents is actually very low, causing casualties. The probability is even less than one in a thousand.

Those who need to spend a lot of money on the lives of testers are actually capitalists who have made a fortune in the pharmaceutical industry. In order to save costs, what those capitalists do will make people aware of the true cruelty of capital.

The reason for Papopec's silence is obviously not because he is worried that there is not enough money or that no one is willing to sacrifice his life. In fact, it is not too much. Bai Lu also said before that no matter who he is, there are many desperate people in the world who want to sacrifice their lives for money, such as death row prisoners and terminally ill people. people and so on.

What she was worried about was Bai Lu's attitude. As a life assistant, what she was best at was observing changes in a person's mood and attitude. She felt Bai Lu's changes very keenly.

Happy, Colson, and Melinda didn't say anything, and handed the choice to Papopetz.

In fact, everyone knows that Bai Lu doesn't care about fate at all. If he really cared about fate, he wouldn't make a movie about the future for the reason of being interesting and wanting to see interesting changes.

The key to Bai Lu's condition is not whether he really needs one life in exchange for another, but that he wants to see Papopec's choice.

After thinking about it again, Papopetz decided to try his best not to let Tony have any regrets, and replied like this:

"Are it also okay for death row prisoners and terminally ill patients?"

Bai Lu's indifferent attitude suddenly disappeared, her lips curled up and she smiled lightly:

"All men are created equal."

Papopetz breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that he had made the right bet.

Happy said in confusion:

"What if Pats says no?"

Everyone's ears pricked up, and they had the same doubts as Happy.

Bai Lu did not answer directly, but just said:

"The fact is she chose yes, there's no point in assuming."

Bai Lu knew that most groups like Stark Industries signed a group of dead soldiers. As the person closest to Tony Stark, it was impossible for Papopetz not to know that if he refused the life-for-life condition here, It can only mean that Papopec is showing kindness to Bai Lu, which is hypocrisy and deception.

Selling one's life for money sounds cruel, but there are many desperate people in the world who are willing to sell one's life. In fact, it's just a matter of exchange for the benefits they need, which is perfectly normal in Bai Lu's opinion.

There is nothing in the world that cannot be exchanged. If there is, it is just that the gain is not proportional to the effort.

It's just that most people pursue monetary benefits in exchange, while some people pursue fame, power, and even faith.

The world says that capital is cruel, but what is truly cruel is capitalists and human nature.

Bai Lu didn't intend to be a philosopher, and there was no need to talk too much to the people she just met. She waved her hand and said:

"Okay, your goal has been achieved. Now go and do whatever you have to do. Don't crowd around here."

Colson smiled awkwardly and said:

"It's not that I don't trust Mr. Bai Lu, it's just that I feel more at ease seeing him with my own eyes."

Bai Lu glared and said angrily:

"Then you still want to make a living with me?"

Coulson smiled sheepishly.

"If Mr. Bai Lu doesn't mind."

Bai Lu refused very decisively.

"I mind, very much."

"Then let's make a deal. We want to buy the page with search capabilities. As a reward, we will block all the troubles from other countries and organizations for you."
