Chapter 185 Strange's Happy Life (Part 1)(1/2)
On a sunny morning in New York, before 7 o'clock, the streets of Manhattan were already busy. Wall Street elites in suits and ties were holding reports in their hands and spitting out a lot of professional terms into the phones as they walked. Coffee shops
The boss of the restaurant was struggling to move the magazine rack to the door. There was a long queue in the driveway of the fast food restaurant. Vehicles of all kinds were arriving from beginning to end like parts on an assembly line. The sunlight reflected by the rearview mirror and the glass curtain wall of the high-rise building complemented each other.
.
Summer is coming to an end, but iced coffee will never go out of the market. In front of the sanatorium on the corner of the street, many young people gathered while drinking coffee and reading magazines. Schiller leaned on a lamppost in front of the sanatorium, holding a hand
Holding a cup of coffee and making a call on a mobile phone in one hand.
"...Yes, I did forget it, but I am the dean. You can't let the dean be locked out of the nursing home, right?"
"You said you have something to do, but what can you do? Haven't the resignation procedures at Presbyterian Hospital been completed long ago? It's been several months. Apart from the work in the nursing home, what else do you have to be busy with?"
"You became a specially appointed doctor at Presbyterian Hospital? Hey, you went out to look for part-time jobs without my permission as the dean?...You can't find my person? Does that make you right? It's clearly written in the contract...
…”
"Okay, okay, I know you are a professional person. Don't worry about it. Come and give me the key quickly..."
"A lunatic who broke into a house found you? Like me? I'm not... Then why didn't you call the police? Did you not know the 911 phone number?"
"Who? A bald man in yellow clothes? That's okay. You can have a day off today. Bye!"
"Oh, one last thing, you'd better be polite to her and come to work alive tomorrow!"
After Schiller finished speaking, he quickly hung up the phone. He took a sip of coffee and thought happily that he had heard good news just after returning to Marvel. It was a good start.
At this time, in Strange's apartment, Gu Yiyi waved his hand, and the sky was full of star-like light spots surrounding her, and the endless starry sky seemed to be shrouded behind her.
Strange looked at all this in shock. In an instant, these magical brilliance disappeared again. Except for Gu Yi's slightly fluttering robe, everything seemed to have never appeared. Gu Yi looked at Strange and asked him: "You
What do you think?"
Strange opened his mouth wide, immersed in shock and did not answer. He had never seen Schiller use magic before, but Schiller could only levitate a ballpoint pen or something. How could there be such a big scene of the arrival of the universe?
Unexpectedly, Gu Yi also sighed inwardly, the development of things was really beyond her expectation.
This matter also starts with the arrival of the so-called bat god at that time.
At that time, the so-called bat god guard who came from the Morlun family was actually just a shameless stowaway, no different from a rat sneaking into a hole.
Because of the existence of Odin and the Ancient One, not everyone can come to Earth. Even when Odin gets mad, even the gods of symbiotes can attack him. Not to mention the Ancient One, he is either beating up his creditors or going to the bank every day.
On the way to beat the creditor.
The demon gods who attacked with great fanfare, those who walked through the main entrance were chopped into dumpling fillings, and those who walked through the side door were beaten into even smaller dumpling fillings. Most of the rest learned the lesson, and no one dared to do so even though they were salivating over this place.
act rashly.
But the main entrance and side doors are blocked, that is, there are people who are not too dirty and like to dig into mouse holes.
In the long history of the earth, the ritual of summoning evil gods has been around for a long time.
In an era when the position of Supreme Mage didn't even exist, when humans had just formed tribes, got rid of their hair and blood, and began to build civilization, many tribes would have wizards and priests using witchcraft to communicate with the world.
Most of them were just psychological comfort, but a small number of them successfully found the right owner.
At that time, the wizards of the tribe used some rituals to summon part of the evil god's power to the earth, exchanged living sacrifices for the evil power, and attacked other tribes.
At that time, some evil gods will leave their own marks and exclusive channels to facilitate the summoning of their followers.
After Ancient One became the Supreme Mage, he constantly checked for deficiencies and solved these problems left over from history. The demon gods who dared to do so paid the price for their youth and frivolity and became fertilizer for the earth's defense system.
Although Gu Yi hacked to death most of the careless demons along the network cable, there were also some cunning demons, and the passages they buried were relatively hidden. Even though Gu Yi had carried out several attempts to eliminate demons and illegals, there were always a few that slipped through the net.
.
What the vampires use is a passage for fish to slip through.
This race lives a long time and can always get some strange things. They found a way to communicate with the universe in some witchcraft books left over from ancient times.
The ignorant are fearless, and they sent a signal directly into the deep space. A member of the Morlun family happened to be hunting in this universe. Like a hound that smelled blood, he quickly locked onto this place.
He came to Earth silently through this smuggling channel, and planned to take advantage of the chaos to hunt Spider-Man.
The story was normal so far, until the huge venomous bat soared into the sky. After communicating with some higher-level mysterious power, Ancient One got the answer to the birth of a new beast totem.
Of course, she got busy. If a new beast totem was really going to be born in this universe, then Earth's Supreme Mage Ancient One would certainly have a lot of things to prepare for, such as debt collection, dumpling fillings and a new round of sweeps.
The devil is defeated.
In short, after this big event is over, the busiest person will be Gu Yi.
This led to a problem. In such a short period of time, she had no time to keep an eye on her future heir Strange, or in other words, Gu Yi simply forgot about this matter when he got busy.
Unexpectedly, in such a short period of time, Strange's life has undergone tremendous changes.
One of the most significant and influential changes was that he became rich overnight.
In the past, Strange could not be considered as having no money. As the best neurosurgeon in the world, his income was quite high, but obviously, earning a dead salary would never be as fast as making some side money.
Since he became the medical consultant of Stark-Osborne United Pharmaceutical Group, gave speeches around the world on the efficacy of immortality factor, and endorsed this mysterious drug as an elite doctor, Strange suddenly discovered that
, it seems that the whole world is busy giving him money.
Stark and Osborn will give him a large amount of money as salary. In addition, SHIELD will also give him part of the remuneration, and the sanatorium will also receive a share of remuneration, and these are not even his income.
Primary source.
There are many people in this world who are poor and have only money left, such as the Middle Eastern tycoons who are sitting on black gold, the Far Eastern oligarchs who have a financial grasp, and the monopolists in certain industries. You have to say that these people really don’t know the hype about the immortality factor.
Ingredients? Actually, not necessarily.
It's just that they are too rich, even if they spend money to listen to the sound, as long as the sound is good, they are happy.
In this case, they are willing to spend a lot of money to buy a top doctor to tell them "it works" every day, even if it is just a placebo effect, money is just a number anyway.
Under such circumstances, even the price offered by one of them to Strange would make him dizzy for a long time.
And Strange was indeed stunned by the money.
In essence, Strange at this time is not a naturally good person like Peter Parker. His high pursuit of his career is also largely due to the generous rewards and honorary status that his professional level can bring him.
This is human nature.
And the sudden wealth almost instantly destroyed his view of money. Strange suddenly discovered that money is not actually the reward for labor. He did not put in any actual labor, but just repeated a few sentences as a repeater,
Then he went to a splendid banquet to eat and drink, and said a few words to the richest man in the world, and the money flew into his pocket.
Strange discovered that the world's economic operation model seemed to be a scam. After becoming a liar from a defrauded victim, he suddenly no longer was so entangled in it.
After all, being a rich man is really happy.
Therefore, when Gu Yi took a moment to take a look at Strange after finishing his work for a while, she found that Strange seemed to be looking away.
Just when she was about to explore what happened during this period, she was tripped up by a little trouble. The person in charge of the New York Sanctuary clamored for transfer, and Gu Yi had to comfort these apprentices and
Find a way to reconnect the sanctuary to WIFI.
But what she didn't expect was that quantitative changes in money can lead to qualitative changes.
Not long after, Pepper completed the important work of handing over the power of the Stark Group and began to reorganize the industries related to the Immortality Factor, establishing the Immortality Factor Foundation, and Strange naturally became a member of it.
.
When you get shares in such an important industry, everything changes.
To put it simply, he went from being a worker to becoming a capitalist overnight.
Strange himself didn't know whether he had the heart to be rich and wealthy but not to be promiscuous, but obviously, Gu Yi, who came back from his busy work, felt that he didn't.
After the Supreme Mage returned, she found that things were running in a completely wrong direction without looking back.
Due to Schiller's absence, Strange has become an indispensable and important figure in the professional field of the entire immortality factor industry. His importance has been rising steadily, and has even reached a pivotal position. He has gained credibility in the aspect of immortality factor medicine.
It also has the right of final interpretation.
This means that in this industry, he has become as important as Stark and Osborne. In order to implement this credibility, the Osborne Group plans to open a company for him to enhance the joint pharmaceutical industry
Level, before Gu Yi came to visit, the process of opening a company was almost completed.
The future Supreme Mage is about to end his career as a capitalist, never to return.
But Ancient One knew that if Strange really became a capitalist who was as important as Stark or Osborn and controlled the lifeline of the industry, then neither a car accident nor the death of an important relative would be able to free him from the secular world.
The entanglement of fame and fortune leads to seeking answers from mysticism.
Even if he wanted to do this, those who could benefit from him would not allow him to do so.
For example, if Stark were to abandon everything and escape into Buddhism, the first person who would be anxious would be the President of the United States, and his blood pressure would rise urgently.
Once these people are involved, things will become very troublesome. In the position of Supreme Mage for so many years, Ancient One has pursued non-interventionism. Now, Strange's departure or stay is related to the immortality factor industry, and the immortality factor
The industry is related to the Stark Group, the Osborn Group, SHIELD, the military and Congress. She does not want to conflict with so many forces because of the issue of her successor.
At the same time, Gu Yi was very doubtful. With Strange's current will and character, would he really not be corrupted by money?
What if he really becomes an evil capitalist, lying on the pile of money every day and spending every day on the road of getting something for nothing and enjoying himself? What should we do? We can't chop him into dumpling fillings, right?
When things got to this point, in order to prevent the heir he was optimistic about from jumping into the arms of capital without looking back, Gu Yi decided to do something special. Can he omit those testing steps first, or make sure that his Strange would not go astray first?
More important.
So, on the morning when Schiller was locked outside the sanatorium without a key, Strange truly learned about the magical world from the Ancient One for the first time, and received an invitation to study abroad from Karma Taj.
