Chapter 61: Early Winter Daily (Part 2)
"I think you may have some misunderstandings..."
Natasha's voice came from the other end of the phone: "No, you don't need to explain. In addition, SHIELD actually has medical insurance for the family. I said that our benefits are quite good..."
"I didn't...wait, do you mean you have money to get it? Nick's report of 30%??? That's so high?? Captain America's bonus is only 18%..."
"Oh, yes, yes, thank you for your comfort, she's fine..."
Natasha said on the other end of the phone: "I heard that Stark wanted to hire some neuroscience experts to make further changes to his mecha. I hope you can remind him that even if Colonel Rhode resigns from his position, the military will never give up. Even without the Air Force, the Army and the Navy, this trouble is far from over..."
Schiller said: "I get it. I believe Stark should be able to handle these things alone now."
In fact, Schiller said it right. Stark really had to handle these things alone, and what was even more troublesome is that he had to learn to take care of himself now.
Before, most of Stark's weapons manufacturing departments and military-industrial departments were managed by Obadia, but now, Obadia was seriously injured and too old to recover. She is still in a coma and has not woken up. Pepper is almost crazy, and she wishes she could split into eight people alone.
Originally, Pepper was just Stark's personal secretary. Even if he helped him manage the company, he was only responsible for some personnel and procurement matters. As a result, Obadaiya is now lying down, and Pepper has begun to take over the entire Stark Industrial Group in full. She has no time to care about Stark's life matters.
As we all know, Stark's ability to take care of himself is basically zero in life. Originally, he had a good friend Rhode, who could go to bed, but now Rhode is also on vacation. No matter how intelligent Jarvis is, he is just an electronic life and cannot take care of Stark in all aspects.
Schiller and Stark stared across the clinic door, and Stark slapped the door and said, "Let me in! It's still daytime, don't you open the door here?"
"You didn't make an appointment, so of course you won't open the door."
"Damn it, why can they all come and go anytime, but I can't?"
"You said too, they will leave at any time, so how long do you plan to stay here? Don't tell me it's a month."
"Uh... it's not that long. It mainly depends on how long Pepper is busy. I guess with her wisdom, she will be able to take over the entire Stark Industrial Group in about three weeks."
"Three weeks??? I suggest you turn left S.H.E.L.D.."
"Hey, you know I don't want to go there, there are two old Howard comrades." Stark bent his fingers and made a quote gesture.
"I can't stand a tea party every day, recalling their World War II years..."
As he said that, Stark was about to push the door and Shiller pressed his hand against the door on the other side. He said, "Listen, I'm very moved when you stay up late to study neurologic materials for me, but this doesn't mean you can stay here for a month..."
"That spider boy is OK, why can't I?"
Schiller took a deep breath and opened his mouth.
Stark outside the door stared at him. He was not wearing a mecha now. The wind outside was blowing heavily, and he had to hold down his scarf in a hurry.
OK, it looks a bit pitiful.
Schiller hesitated for a moment, and Stark pushed open the door and squeezed in. After he came in, he patted his coat on his body, then looked up and down and said, "Your house is really the best that I have seen that the structure and function are completely incompatible."
Schiller immediately regretted it, but what made him even more regretful was still behind.
As a friend, Iron Man is indeed very loyal. If he only appears in front of you once a month, you will think he is the best friend in the world, smart, rich and loyal.
But when he sways in front of you every day within a month, you will only think that he is a piece of shit.
Stark is a typical representative who can only be viewed from a distance. Soon, Schiller realized how wise it was to Rhode pack up his luggage so quickly and go to Antarctica for a trip. He definitely expected the current situation and left New York without stopping.
The next morning, Schiller heard the movement downstairs before he got up. Stark broke his mouth and walked around the refrigerator. As soon as he turned around, the cuff of his sweater rubbed against the edge of the dining table. He cursed in a low voice, pulled out the sleeves with two fingers, and then ran upstairs to change his clothes.
When he got down again, his mouth kept muttering: "Damn it, I think the air here is full of oil. Why can't you clean it up? Oh my God, the dust on the handrail here has not been cleaned for ten years, and those picture frames are simply bacterial delivery rooms..."
"Oh, the kettle, and this kettle, do you know that the steam it sprays may contain a variety of bacteria that are not good for the respiratory tract..."
"Damn it, don't come over! You rat, I'm allergic to hair. Have you been vaccinated while going there? Could it be that there is still some plague on your body, right?" Stark shuddered on his own.
After breakfast, Stark leaned against the sofa in the living room and said to the other end of the phone: "Oh, yes, yes... Sweetheart, I'm not that available recently, magazine cover? Then you have to ask the bald editor-in-chief, you know, I'm very busy in Hollywood, Olivia? No, no, she's not as beautiful as you, of course, I guess there won't be anyone else on that big show that is sexy than you..."
Shiller, who was sitting by the window writing a paper, couldn't bear it and hit Stark on the back of his head with a ballpoint pen. Stark screamed in a "scream" and looked back at Schiller in shock.
After a while, Peter came and the two started playing games together again.
When these two people meet together, it really fully explains what it means to not go to bed at night and not get up in the morning.
Stark was basically inverted day and night when he was in the laboratory. He usually started to do experiments at six or seven o'clock in the evening, and continued until eight or nine o'clock in the morning, and then slept until the afternoon. According to him, evening was the time when he was most inspiring.
Originally, Peter often stayed all night, but because of the renovation of his house, he stayed in Schiller for a while. Schiller's work and rested very healthy, and went to bed early and got up early every day. Out of the idea of not wanting to cause trouble for the doctor, Peter also adjusted his work and rest as much as possible. Now he will basically go to bed around twelve o'clock.
As a yellow-haired mouse, Pikachu is actually a nocturnal creature, and his most active time is from three to four in the morning.
So, when Stark came, the three and a half people in the house lived in different biological clocks.
The fierce conflict between work and rest time made the whole house mess. When Schiller was packing up and preparing to go to bed, Stark just woke up and when Stark and Peter were playing games, Peter was sleepy. When Stark and Pikachu fought together until dawn and were tired of going to bed, Schiller was already awake again.
Not to mention there are two superheroes flying around New York that are fine.
Iron Man usually saves the world during the day, that is, sacrifices his daytime sleeping time. Therefore, he will occasionally slept well between 10:00 and 10:00 in the morning when Pikachu was sleeping properly, and suddenly jumped up like a corpse to save the world. For this reason, Pikachu almost peed in Stark's water cup.
The good neighbor Spider likes to go out at night and sacrifices his sleep time at night. He usually sleeps well in the early morning when Schiller is sleeping. For this reason, every time Peter goes out or comes back, he is often hit on the back of his head by flying ballpoint pens and teacups.
Steve and Stark who come to visit each other from time to time have an irreconcilable conflict. Every time Steve runs by in the morning, Stark is not asleep yet. The sleepy and drowsy Iron Man can't scold Captain America. He is so angry that he doesn't sleep anymore. He puts on the iron suit and wants to duel with Steve.
When the two of them got together and disbanded on the spot, it was basically noon. Yes, Peter got up again until midnight...
Natasha stood at the door of the clinic and asked Schiller in wonder: "Except for your pet, there should be three people living here, but why do I only see one of them forever??"
"My colleagues in the Statistics Department have given up the list of activities for you. Every time I come here to find someone, it's like a lottery."
Schiller was also very angry. He said, "This is my house. Of course, their daily routines are adjusted according to me, and my daily routine is the healthiest. I go to bed at 8 o'clock in the evening and get up at 5 o'clock in the morning. Is there any more regular routine than this?"
Stark was also very reasonable. He said: "No great scientist would not do experiments all night long. Night is the best time God gives humans to use their genius brains. Please, the invention I made at night can change the world. Why should I adjust it?"
Peter also complained: "Where are good babies who go to bed at 9 o'clock in the evening now? My classmates are like this, and there are too many new games recently. Why do I stay up late? You have to ask those game manufacturers why they pile up all the fun games for sale this month..."
Pikachu makes even more sense: "I'm just a mouse! Do you actually expect the mouse to adjust its work and rest like a human being?!"
The symbionts were also very aggrieved. He said in Schiller's mind: "Their brains always smell very fragrant in the middle of the night, and they smell really delicious..."
Finally, one night, Schiller slept until the early morning, and the symbiote swallowed desperately in his mind. As soon as Schiller was awakened, Stark rushed into the door with excitement and shouted: "I know what's going on!!! Come and see! Look here! What do you think of this structure? As a neuron of nanoneural... I am such a genius! This will definitely work!"
