Chapter 184: Strange's Happy Life (1)(1/2)
On a clear morning in New York, it was less than 7 o'clock, and the streets of Manhattan were already busy. Wall Street elites in suits and tie were holding reports in their hands, spitting out a lot of professional terms to the phone while walking. The owner of the coffee shop was working hard to move the magazine shelves to the door. The fast food restaurant car passage lined up in a long line, and various vehicles were heading and ending like parts on the assembly line. The sunlight reflected by the rearview mirror and the glass curtain walls of the tall buildings shone together.
Summer is coming, but iced coffee will never delist. In front of the sanatorium on the corner of the street, many young people gathered in front of the sanatorium who were drinking coffee while reading magazines. Schiller leaned against a street lamp pole in front of the sanatorium gate, holding a cup of coffee in one hand and a cell phone in the other.
"...Yes, I forgot, but I am the dean. You can't let the dean be locked outside the sanatorium, right?"
"You said you have something to do, what can you do? Haven't the resignation procedures of the Presbyterian Hospital been handed over long ago? It's been several months. What else do you have to be busy with besides the work of the nursing home?"
"You have become a special doctor at the Presbyterian Hospital? Hey, you went out to find a part-time job without the consent of me, the dean?...You can't find my person? Then you have any reason? The contract clearly states..."
"Okay, okay, I know you are a person with professional pursuits. Don't worry about that, come and give me the keys..."
"A madman who broke into a private house came to you? Just like me? I'm not... Then why don't you call the police? Don't you know the phone number of 911?"
"Who? A bald man in yellow? That's all right. You can have a holiday today, bye!"
"Oh, I'll say one last word. It's better to be polite to her and come to work alive tomorrow!"
After Schiller finished speaking, he hung up the phone quickly. He took a sip of coffee and thought happily that he had heard good news when he returned to Marvel. It was a good start.
At this time, in Strange's apartment, Gu Yi waved his hand, and starry light spots surrounded her, and there seemed to be endless starry sky behind her.
Strange looked at all this in shock, and in an instant, the magical light disappeared again. Except for Gu Yi's slightly whirling robe, everything seemed to have never appeared. Gu Yi looked at Strange and asked him, "What do you think?"
Strange opened his mouth wide, immersed in shock without answering. He had never seen Schiller use magic before, but Schiller could only float a ballpoint pen or something. How could such a big scene of the arrival of the universe?
Little did he know that Gu Yi also sighed in his heart, and the development of things was really beyond her expectations.
This matter starts with the so-called bat god coming at that time.
At that time, the so-called Bat God Guard who came over to the Demon family was actually just a shameless smuggler, and there was no difference between them and the mouse that was secretly drilling holes.
Because of Odin and Gu Yi's existence, not everyone can come to Earth. When Odin gets angry, the god of symbiotic body is scattered, not to mention Gu Yi, he is either pounding the creditor or on the way to pound the creditor.
The demons who were attacking with great fanfare were split into dumpling stuffings, and those who walked through the side were beaten into even more broken dumpling stuffings. Most of the remaining ones were smarter, and even though they were salivating about it, no one dared to act rashly.
However, the main and side doors were blocked, which means that some people don’t mind being dirty and like to drill rat holes.
In the long history of the earth, the ritual of summoning evil gods has been around for a long time.
In the era when the position of Supreme Mage did not exist, when humans had just formed a tribe, got rid of the blood and started to establish civilization, many tribes would have wizards and priests using witchcraft to communicate with the world.
Most of them are just psychological comfort, but a small number of them have successfully found the main owner.
At that time, the wizards of the tribe used some rituals to summon part of the power of the evil god to the earth, exchanged live sacrifices for evil power, and attacked other tribes.
At that time, some evil gods would leave their own marks and exclusive channels to facilitate the summoning of their believers.
After Ancient One became the Supreme Master, he checked for shortcomings and patched up the gaps and solved these historical problems. The demons who dared to do this also paid the price for their youthful recklessness and became fertilizer for the earth's defense system.
Although Gu Yi followed the net line to kill most of the uncautious demons, there were also some cunning demons. The passages they buried were relatively hidden. Although Gu Yi had carried out several attempts to sweep demons and fight illegal activities, there were always a few fish that missed the net.
What vampires use is a channel for fish that misses the net.
This race lived long and could always get some strange things. They found ways to communicate with the universe in some ancient books of witchcraft.
The ignorant are fearless, and they send a signal directly to the deep space. A member of the Magic Family happened to be hunting in this universe. He quickly locked here like a hunting dog that smelled blood.
He came to Earth silently from this smuggling passage and planned to hunt Spider-Man in the chaos.
The story is still normal so far, until the huge venom bat soared into the air, Ancient One got the answer to the birth of a new beast totem after communicating with some higher-level mysterious powers.
Naturally, she got busy. If a new beast totem was really going to be born in this universe, then the supreme mage of the Earth Gu Yi certainly had many things to prepare, such as debt collection, dumpling filling, and a new round of sweeping demons and fighting illegal activities.
In short, after this major event is over, the busiest person will be the ancient one.
This led to a problem. For such a short period of time, she had no time to stare at her future heir, Strange, or, when she was busy, Gu Yi forgot about this matter at all.
Unexpectedly, in such a short period of time, Strange's life changed tremendously.
One of the most significant and most impactful changes was that he became rich overnight.
In the past, Strange could not be considered a lack of money. As the best neurosurgeon in the world, his income was quite high, but obviously, he could never get a dead salary faster than making money by making a mistake.
Ever since he became a medical consultant to Stark Osborne United Pharmaceutical Group, giving a speech on the efficacy of immortality factors worldwide, endorsing this mysterious drug as an elite doctor, Strange suddenly realized that it seemed that the whole world was busy stuffing him money.
Stark and Osborne will give him a large sum of money as salary. In addition, SHIELD will also give him some compensation, and nursing homes will also receive a reward, which is not even the main source of his income.
There are many people in this world who are poor and only money left, such as the Middle East bigwigs with black gold, the Far East oligarchs that the finances are catching, and the monopoly tycoons in certain industries. Do you think these people really don’t know the hype of the immortality factor? In fact, it may not be.
But they are so rich that even if they spend money to listen to it, as long as it sounds nicely, they will be happy.
In this case, they are willing to spend a lot of money to buy a top doctor and tell them every day that "it works" even if it's just a placebo effect, but money is just a number anyway.
In this case, even the price offered by one of them for Strange could make him dizzy for a long time.
And Strange was indeed knocked out by money.
In essence, Strange was not a natural good person like Peter Parker. His high pursuit of his profession was also largely due to the generous rewards and honorary status that his professional level could bring to him. This is human nature.
The sudden loss of wealth almost instantly destroyed his view of money. Strange suddenly realized that money was not the reward for labor. He did not pay any actual labor. He just repeated a few words as a repeater, then went to a magnificent 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 model of the world's economic operation seemed to be a scam. After he jumped from a victim of fraud to a liar, he suddenly became less confused about it.
After all, being a rich man is really happy.
So, when Gu Yi finished his work and took some time to take a look at Strange, she found that Strange seemed to have seen it open.
Just as she was about to explore what happened during this period, she was struggling to find trouble again. The head of the New York Sanctuary cried and demanded to be transferred from the sky and earth. Gu Yi had to appease these apprentices and find a way to connect to the sanctuary again.
But what she didn't expect was that the quantitative change of money could produce a qualitative change.
Not long after, Pepper finished the important work of the Stark Group's rights handover, began to reorganize these industries related to the immortal factor, and established the immortal factor foundation, and Strange naturally became a member of it.
When you get shares in such an important industry, everything becomes different.
Simply put, it means going from a worker to a capitalist overnight.
He didn't know whether Strange had a heart that could not be lustful, but obviously, Gu Yi, who came back from his work, felt that he had no.
After the Supreme Master came back, she found that things were running in a completely wrong direction without looking back.
Due to Schiller's absence, Strange became an indispensable and important figure in the entire professional field of immortality factor industry. His importance has been increasing steadily and has even reached an important position. He has gained credibility in immortality factor medicine and has the final right to interpret it.
This means that in this industry, he has become a person as important as Stark and Osborne. In order to implement this credibility, Osborne Group intends to open a company for him to improve the industry level of United Pharmaceuticals. Before Guyi comes to the door, the process of opening a company is almost completed.
Gone are the future supreme wizard on the road to capitalists.
But Gu Yi knew that if Strange really became a capitalist who mastered the lifeline of the industry as important as Stark or Osborne, no matter whether it was a car accident or the death of an important relative, he would not be able to get rid of the entanglement of secular fame and fortune, and seek the truth from the mystery.
Even if he wanted to do this, those who could dig out the interests of him would not allow him to do so.
For example, if Stark now plans to leave everything behind and become a monk, the first thing he has to be anxious is the president of the United States, and his blood pressure is rising.
Once these people are involved, things will become very troublesome. Ancient One has been in the position of Supreme Master for so many years and pursues non-interference. Now, Strange's stay and leave are related to the immortal factor industry, and the immortal factor industry is related to the Stark Group, Osborne Group, S.H.I.E.L.D., the military and Congress. She does not want to conflict with so many forces because of her heirs.
At the same time, Gu Yi was very suspicious that with Strange's current will and character, would he really not be corrupted by money?
What if he really becomes a vicious capitalist, lying on the pile of money and spending money every day, running wildly on the road of free harvest and enjoyment? What should he do? Can't he be chopped into dumpling stuffing?
When things have come to this point, in order to prevent the heirs who are optimistic about from investing in the arms of capital without returning, Gu Yi decided to handle the special matters. It is more important to omit the steps of the test first, or to ensure that your Strange does not go astray first.
So, on the morning when Schiller was locked outside the sanatorium without a key, Strange truly realized the magic world for the first time from Ancient One, and received an invitation from Kamataj to study abroad.
That’s right, it’s an invitation to study abroad, not a kind-hearted recruitment of disciples.
After all, the current situation is not that Strange is asking for someone to treat his grandfather and grandma. But that Gu Yi is optimistic about Strange's talent and does not want him to be deceived by the world's fame and fortune, but takes the initiative to come to him. This invitation is naturally much more polite.
And Gu Yi also knew that under this situation, Strange could not leave it alone. Too many people pointed at him and made money. If he just got him away, the network cable that had just been connected to the Sanctuary would be dug up again.
Therefore, the Supreme Master said very openly that Strange could go on a day, for example, after get off work, go to the portal of the sanctuary to take a few hours of class and wait until the morning to come back.
Gu Yi asked Strange to think about it for two days before answering. After all, she had to think about it. If Strange didn't agree, what extent would a car accident make him change his mind and become a new person?
Strange was still in a daze when he came to work in the afternoon. Obviously, the magic displayed by Gu Yi shocked him even more.
Schiller's floating ballpoint pen is not unavailable in magic, but it is more like a trick than magic.
But Gu Yi was a real supreme mage. Every move was honed from thousands of demons chopped into dumplings. Experts took action. Not to mention ordinary people like Strange who have been studying science for the first half of their lives, even the most creative magician in the world would be shocked by the infinite power of magic from her body.
"Is all this really meaningful?" Strange sat on his desk, his eyes sluggishly asking: "I have been learning knowledge and technology for so many years, what kind of magic... They can do it all by just wavering..."
Strange looked down at his finger, pointing to it and said, "When I was cutting vegetables before, my finger was cut into a wound, and it's here..."
"Then she waved her hand, and the wound was healed without any medical technology, no medicine, no doctor..."
"So what is the meaning of human medicine? What is the meaning of my existence?"
"A patient is just lying on the hospital bed. He can find a group of magicians to wave to him, and then I can get out, because it no longer takes more than ten hours of surgery, no postoperative recovery..."
Strange spread his hands, and he opened his mouth, but said nothing.
Then he asked Schiller in confusion: "You are all in the same group, right? You magicians, what do you think of ordinary people as? Do you think we are stupid and ridiculous? Spend decades of learning knowledge and honing skills, and in the end..."
He smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "It's like a bunch of ants that can only spin in the mud nest, right?"
"Then why don't you try it yourself?" Schiller sat opposite him and said, "Is it as easy and easy as you think that magic is?"
"What's easier than waving your hand? It doesn't make any sense at all." Strange sighed, covering his forehead and said, "I knew from a very young age that there are people in this world who can easily get things you can't get in your entire life."
"They don't have to put in any effort, just because of luck, the world is unfair."
"But..." he paused, and continued: "It's still beyond my imagination."
Strange smiled, but looked very difficult to laugh, and said: "Now it seems that the rich people are just fools who are kept in the dark. This is the only good news I have heard today."
To be continued...
