[Comprehensive Anglo-American] Gem Merchant

The effect of Stephen Strange's potion was immediate, and not long after returning to the Avengers Building, Alphonse's leg injury was completely healed, so he returned to his jewelry store.

The little clerk even excitedly took out the turnover details of the most recent period to claim credit, saying that the revenue in the past few months has reached a new high.The efficiency of global express delivery is not inferior to that of the service magician, coupled with the high efficiency of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s expedited delivery, there are even many customer magicians who have accepted this overly "modern" delivery method.

Now that he saw a long string of zeros behind the bank statement, he was so numb that there was no fluctuation in his heart.

Regarding the departure of the gem dealer, Clinton Barton originally planned to hold a farewell party, but the protagonist of the farewell party said that he was really busy with business and if he didn't go back to replenish the goods, the gems would be sold out. They realized that this guy was actually It is still in business, but the way of opening the store is too low-key, and people often don't remember that the main business of the other party is selling gems.

Therefore, the plan of the farewell party unfortunately ran aground.

"Anyway, it's not like he won't come back to live. The rooms are well kept, and it's very convenient to jump back and forth in space."

Natasha looked at this very openly: "If there is anything to do, just make a call, and I have to thank Tony for his advanced communicator."

The red-haired detective blinked, her female intuition made her keenly aware of some changes in the atmosphere, but she was happy with such changes and had no intention of breaking the news.

"Nat, I think your eyes are so strange..."

Clint glanced at Natasha, trembling: "When you were a spy, you used to have this expression every time you planned to close the net and get rid of the cheated..."

Natasha looked around and saw a room full of steel straight men who didn't know the truth, so she could only roll her eyes: I told you that you wouldn't understand.

The payment from S.H.I.E.L.D. was timely and came with a personal honorarium fee in the name of the president.Although this extra remuneration is obviously not enough compared to the long list of zero S.H.I.E.L.D. appropriations, it is enough to show sincerity.Alphonse looked at the account received in the text message on his mobile phone, and still ordered the clerk to transfer the money to Maris Billy Animsfia's bank account. In recent years, his income has been more than before. Quite a lot, it should be able to advance the research of Animsfia a lot.

It's getting closer to that "future".

The clerk was chewing licorice candy, playing games one after another. Recently, the mobile game held an event, and his boss didn't care about the staff's working hours, so he simply had a great time in person.

Stephen Strange came to the store twice more, probably to confirm the effect of the potion.In addition, as the newly promoted supreme mage, he was also forced to join the social circle of the clock tower magicians.Unorthodox magicians are often unpopular, and it is even more difficult to move forward without the support of the family, but every supreme mage is ridiculously strong, so the attitude of most noble families towards Strange is... Stay away.

This stay at a respectful distance obviously does not include the Edelfelt family, modern magic and astronomical subjects.

Luvia simply stated that her brother's younger brother is her younger brother, and she will order this person in the future. Slapping him in the face is slapping me in the face. If you dare to touch Edelfelt's bad head, you can try it try it.In this regard, although Strange was very confused why he became someone else's little brother for no reason—he was the supreme mage—but considering that the pressure from the clock tower was really reduced because of this, he Or turn a blind eye to it.

It is troublesome to socialize with magicians, but if it is modern magic, it is not completely unacceptable.With Alphonse as a bridge, the relationship between Strange and Weber Velvet was still above average.

As for Animsfia, the king of astronomy who sees the dragon and never sees the tail...he can only say that those who engage in astronomy may be more Buddhist, and that they have no attitude is their attitude.

Under such a tone, as a newly promoted supreme mage, he still has a lot to learn.Even with the support of an extremely talented brain and smooth magic talent, Strange can't wait to cut his soul into several pieces and use them separately.

The library in the clock tower is open to all students. Depending on the rank of the magician, they can also borrow books within the scope of authority of their respective ranks. Therefore, Stephen Strange, who has rushed to become a magician in one fell swoop, almost Soaking in the library, the body closed its eyes and rested its soul, reading eagerly, and tried every time to fill in the knowledge that was lacking in the first half of its life.

After a long time, when Strange's main body opened its eyes again, a pair of hands patted his shoulder lightly.

"Hey, Supreme Mage...I heard that all the mages of your lineage have the ability to predict the future?"

The white-haired girl with golden eyes asked a question in a cold spring-like voice with a proud look on her face.

New York, Stark's newly restored home.

The information Alphonse brought back came in handy. Tony Stark threw himself into the study of the Extremis virus. He spent a whole night without sleeping to finish the information. The task is mastery and technical revision.

During this period, Pepper delivered a late-night snack. After repeatedly reminding the other party to pay attention to the rest, the female secretary shrugged and decided that it would be better for her to monitor the progress of the production line. The anonymous jeweler sent a message to the effect that I would like to thank you for bringing back these materials. On behalf of Stark Industries, I would like to express my sincere thanks to you. I spent a day and a night on these data.

Closing the phone, Pepper Potts didn't have the slightest bit of shame on his face for this kind of complaint.

And Tony Stark himself, who knows nothing about it in the laboratory, is actually not very efficient at work.The brain of a genius scientist allowed him to quickly analyze the specific operation logic of the Extremis virus, but it was even more difficult to get rid of the side effects on this basis and turn it into a good medicine that only benefited human beings. There is not much medical knowledge, and at this time, there is a lot of knowledge that needs to be crammed from scratch.

[Sir, Stark Industries' financial budget for this year is steadily improving, and there is no urgent need to introduce new profit channels. ]

The artificial intelligence reminded: "Also, you don't have an urgent need to use the Extremis virus to strengthen yourself."

Although a well-known wealthy businessman and superhero in the United States, Tony Stark's actual social scope is actually very narrow.As a hero among his peers, even a good-tempered veteran superhero like the US team can hardly say a few words to him, let alone Natasha and Clint, who are working as agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.He has now delegated power to Pepper Potts for business cooperation. In his early years as a genius scientist, the highest record was that he could stay alone in his laboratory for several months. It's a model that it doesn't matter if you have a topic and don't talk to people for a lifetime.

Tony wiped his face, the long hours of high-intensity work made his eyes a little sore.The coffee cans at hand were piled up into a hill. He reached out and groped around, and found that every can was empty, and called the little clumsy hand to help it throw away all the empty cans.

"Al he thinks this kind of thing is very useful."

He lay back on the bench: "And I happen to think that this kind of thing should be a revolutionary advancement that can save the world and change the world."

It can solve congenital disabilities, serious injuries and other problems that cannot be cured by modern medicine in one fell swoop. Once such a technology is introduced to the world, no number of Nobel Prizes in biology and medicine will be enough.Although it is unlikely that he is still fighting for such a false name at his level, no matter how he says it, such technology will benefit the entire human world.

but……

This is the rationale for pushing the research process too far in the near future, and more than that.

Ever since he impulsively expressed his love to the jeweler on the boat that day, now that he has calmed down, even Tony Stark himself is afraid to confirm the other party's thoughts and emotions.Isn't this kind of Xiao thinking too aggressive for Alphonse?Most of the magicians he has known have extremely arrogant self-esteem, and it is even said that some noble magicians regard themselves and ordinary humans as two completely different creatures, although such thinking is too extreme. ,but……

That doesn't mean that the person floating in the sky like the moon will turn his sights to the world again.

"Open the video projection link."

After reading a batch of worthless references, Tony Stark rubbed his eyebrows, and told the artificial intelligence: "Start the holographic projection, and set the mode to state one."

[Copythat, Sir.]

The artificial intelligence that was always loyal to Stark launched a holographic image, and the communication was linked to a jewelry store in Brooklyn. The signal from the silver-white bracelet on the wrist has been scanning the entire spatial image of the blond jeweler.

The other party was sitting on a chair, reading a thread-bound book that ordinary people could not read.

——Out of selfishness, one-way communication was actually added to Alphonse's bracelet.When the other party is actually practicing gem magic in the studio, he will open a barrier to block all external signals. In addition to the time period, Tony Stark will occasionally turn on the synchronous projection, allowing the image formed by the optical dot matrix appeared in his own laboratory.

The virtual reality technology of the geometric projection is very realistic, as if the blond jeweler is really sitting next to him, turning the pages of the book with a calm expression.

The other party didn't seem to be affected at all, without the slightest uneasiness, joy or anger, and never even frowned.

Some folklore once said that if a witch really falls in love with someone, she will lose her magic. If the Little Mermaid favors a prince on land, she may turn into a bubble under the sun and watch the other party move in all directions. Tony Stark almost began to wonder if there were similar hidden rules among magicians to make the other party look so calm.

In response, artificial intelligence:  …

Artificial intelligence: Sir, your surveillance behavior, referring to the information on the Internet, is generally called an idiot.

Tony Stark: ...

The genius scientist who was named suddenly turned his head: "I am a consultant of S.H.I.E.L.D., and supervising the spokesmen on the mysterious side is part of my job! Why can't I do what they are doing as a team!"

Not only did he not reflect, but he was even very confident.The artificial intelligence was directly stunned by this logic, and after a few seconds of system downtime, it reacted again: "You publicly expressed your unwillingness to take on the position of S.H.I.E.L.D. consultant a year and three months ago. "

"People change, and I feel that this position of consultant is very suitable now."

Tony Stark pushed the pile of documents and coffee cans in front of the desk, and when he turned his head, he saw that a certain "surveillance target" had put down the book, picked up the phone and lay back on the recliner, with a very relaxed expression. look.

This looks very down-to-earth, Tony Stark thought, they even added friends to the mobile game. Although everyone is too busy to do daily tasks, they finally bought the game company to regularly upgrade The character equipment can keep up with the current version of the large army.

"What is he looking at?"

Tony asked: "Retrieve the synchronized phone screen."

"Sir, I remind you again that such behavior does not conform to the social rules of ordinary adults."

The smart housekeeper said: And Miss Potts has notified Mr. Alphonse of your current work status half an hour ago. It is reasonable to judge that Mr. Alphonse should have known about your staying up late.

Tony was shocked: "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You just set the work mode to mute."

The smart butler said in a straightforward tone.

Tony: "..."

Harm, forget it.

In the dangerous temptation of becoming an idiot, in the end, Tony Stark linked Alphonse's cell phone after several confirmations.

"He's not chatting with anyone, is he? He's just browsing the web... and he's not looking at any professional or occult-related content? Well, that's fine—"

... As a result, it is better not to watch.

Alphonse was indeed flipping through the web, and the news of Adric Killian's arrest was rumored on the Internet. In addition, a series of news related to Pioneer Technology was also disclosed on the Internet-including, They once tried in vain to support government executives to replace the current US president, as well as a series of power transactions that did not appear on the table.

This is not the field that Alphonse is good at.

It was said that the youngest daughter of the official was congenitally disabled and could only live in a wheelchair. It was also said that his family bought the same type of expensive wheelchair produced by Stark Industries a few days ago.

Killian had promised to let the other party's child stand up from the wheelchair again, with a pair of legs that are indistinguishable from ordinary people.Modern medicine may be able to produce exquisite prosthetics, but in any case, it is impossible to have the unprecedented curative effect of the Extremis virus.

Then, Stark Industries will be responsible for this matter, and the news that Tony Stark himself will try to improve the Extremis virus has triggered a second upsurge of discussions on the Internet.

The public relations department of Stark Industries is only responsible for maintaining the corporate image - after all, they can't maintain the image of the boss even if they want to - therefore, this explosive news spread rapidly on the Internet, attracting countless crowds to watch and discuss .

Some conspiracy theorists believe that this is the scientific research achievements of Stark Industries embezzling other companies, just like the bloodshed of all the directors when it acquired Sivana Industries, it is an evil trick of the arms dealer Stark; some optimists lament that this If the advanced technology can rejuvenate for a second time in Stark's hands, it will completely change the world's medical system.

Humanity will take a big step forward from now on.

And more people who eat melons are in shock. In a word, it can be summed up as... "We got it real."

Combined with the nuclear-powered wheelchair concept launched by Stark Industries a few days ago, acquired Sivana Industries, a company that apparently featured medical devices, took over the new field of follow-up research and improvement of Extremis Virus, and Aldrich Killian once publicly claimed that Tony Stark had a lover in a wheelchair. All the above information can be concluded with a little thought...

Netizen 1: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaong ​​d !I come to infer that this matter is reliable and absolutely true!

Netizen 2: Have you watched the video of Killian being arrested? His face is swollen from the beating!Tell me out loud why this is!

Netizen 3: Is it because of the kidnapping of the president? It’s impossible. We all understand the specific reasons—so there is no inside information from the Avengers?

Netizen 4: Among the Avengers members, it is doubtful whether the US team will use their smartphones to check Twitter... You might as well look forward to seeing if there is any inside news from the staff.

……

Netizen n: Although I don’t know if it’s true!I'm an employee of Stark Industries!I saw the boss drive to pick up someone before, he directly drove the driver away from the car he was driving, the other party looked like... [picture] [picture]! !The snapshots are rushed and the pixels are blurred, but this side face is real! !

In the photo, the blond jeweler is reaching up to lift a lock of hair that falls by his ear.

The appearance of the Edelfelt family has always been very attractive, no matter the elder brother or the younger sister.Looking at the photo, Tony didn't even know for a moment whether he should hold accountable the Stark Industries employee who posted other people's photos on the Internet, or suppress the speech first, so that Alphonse would not see more bad content .

In the end, he chose... to save this photo first.

Smart housekeeper: ...

It rummaged through the database for a way to deal with this situation, and before finding a solution, a reminder with a higher priority appeared in the task queue.

[Sir, Mr. Alphonse is preparing to access the communication. ]

"What, he wants to make a call? Then disconnect the connection, no matter what you say, you can't monitor the call..."

Tony Stark flipped through the webpage in a hurry, God, he didn't pay attention to how others described him on the Internet, but once Al was involved...

[He seems to be planning to call you, Sir.]

[Alphonse's communication request has been received, do you want to answer it? ]

Tony Stark covered his face with ashes.

"...Come in."

The author has something to say: Tony: It's over, I'm dead

People who eat melons: We got it real! ! !
