Chapter 75 The Meaning of Eden
75
The backpack that Lorna handed over was filled with gold...
This pack of gold is about fifteen kilograms, and they are all processed into unified gold coins and tied into 10 volumes, a total of fifty volumes.
Those round gold coins of the same size, you can tell that each one is about an ounce after weighing them.
Li Wei has never been in contact with too much gold in his two lives, and he will not be able to identify it, but he believes that Lorna and Thunderbird will not tease him with a bag of brass.
500 gold coins per ounce, according to the standard of 1,000 US dollars per ounce, these gold coins are worth about 500,000 US dollars.
He took out a fine and smooth gold coin with a corner and played with it in his hand. Li Wei put the bag back to Lorna's feet...
After hesitating for a moment, Li Wei looked at Lorna and said, "I'll ask you, is there any problem with the origin of these gold?"
Lorna didn't say anything, but the Thunderbird beside her smiled and said, "After we settled Ricardo and the others, we went to Alaska.
We stayed near a gold mine for a while, and the ‘North Star’ has the ability to control magnetism, so these…”
When Li Wei heard this, he looked at the ‘North Star’ curiously and said with a smile: “Wow, magnetic control is the same as the Magneto in the comic…”
Lorna's expression fluctuated for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "My adoptive parents told me that my father is the prototype of Magneto's comics. It's a pity that he did a lot of mistakes...
I don't think this ability is of great significance, it has caused me a lot of trouble.
In fact, every patient who is infected with genetically modified poisoning will have countless troubles during his growth, such as out of control of ability, terrified eyes, and coveted eyes, which have always bothered us."
Li Wei's eyes lit up when he heard this. If there is a prototype of a comic in this world, it is Magneto himself.
This Lorna is actually Magneto's daughter, and she inherited Magneto's abilities!
Li Wei was distracted for a moment, and then looked at the gold package on the ground. He shook his head and laughed. This Lorna should be quite powerful, but she is definitely not as powerful as the legendary Magneto...
He can't remember the specific details of the movies in his previous life, but he still remembers the scenes of Magneto flying around when he was furious, the cable bridge flew around, nuclear submarines entered the sky, and missiles stagnated.
Li Wei is unknown what Magneto is like in reality, but he has seen Professor X explode with all his strength. His ability to exaggerate the world is very incredible. As Teacher X's nemesis, Magneto is unreasonable.
Li Wei didn't know exactly how strong Lorna's ability is, but the scope of influence of her ability is definitely limited, because it took them almost a month to spend 15 kilograms of gold.
Li Wei speculated that the reason why Lorna's ability was so severe was that the problem might be due to genetically modified foods.
mutants as powerful as Professor X and Logan, both of them were declining in the later stages.
The problems of Lorna and his group might have been discovered earlier, so they retreated into "Eden" in time, but their abilities were definitely affected.
Genetically modified foods are irreversible to mutants...
Caliban was once the most well-informed intelligence broker in the Mutant world because he could detect the abnormal energy of most of the earth's creatures, which means that he could find the location of almost all mutants and super-powered creatures, but now he has degenerated to a range that can only detect a radius of 50 kilometers.
This situation is actually quite a pity, but Li Wei thinks it's not bad.
With controllable power, these former mutants will not abandon their human identity and can be fully integrated into society.
Others Li Wei didn't know, but a Russian rich man nicknamed "Trentinist" bought Professor X's former mansion called himself the X-Men. He made a big reputation in New York with his steel and iron bones. It is said that there are a large number of fans.
If a new Magneto appears, let alone whether she can control her heart, even the government will not tolerate uncontrollable forces wandering in society. She will definitely try every means to limit her. In the end, it will be difficult not to have conflicts.
This is great now. When the strength is enough to protect itself and is controllable, you will have awe of order and will not have unnecessary ambitions and destruction.
The meaning of the existence of ‘Eden’ is like the former ‘Xavier Genius School’, which allows a group of mutant children to go through the most difficult stages, gradually achieve control of their own strength, and avoid unnecessary damage when they lose control.
Ricardo and the others did find the right place, but they also brought life pressure to ‘Eden’...
Thinking about the miserable life of these people, Li Wei shook his head sympathetically and said, "After all, ability is still a gift from God. The difficulties of life can always be overcome. The most difficult thing is to keep a calm mind.
There are too many people in this world who do not have super powers like you, but are still surrounded by slander, disgust, and attacks...
Some are their own reasons, but more out of jealousy, no one can be liked by everyone unless he no longer exists, Michael Jackson is an example.”
As he said that, Li Wei looked at Lorna and said with a smile: "I can't control other people's thoughts, but I can help you solve your life problems."
Lorna had a good impression of the enthusiasm that Levi showed. She pointed to the gold package on the ground and said with a smile: "Do you think these can solve our life problems?"
Li Wei thought that the investment plan he discussed with Yuri had failed, but now he found that Lorna and the others only had about 500,000 gold, so his investment ideas emerged again.
Looking at Lorna with hope, Li Wei smiled and shook her head and said, "If you must have a solution to the problem yourself, then this gold is definitely not enough.
You should have checked the price of gold. Even if I give you 500,000 yuan at the market price without discounting, how many things can you buy?
To be honest, our family consumes about 20 times the amount of food that ordinary families have. This is still the sea, so we can buy affordable seafood.
How long do you think this gold can last you?”
When Lorna heard this, she glanced at the Thunderbird, then smiled bitterly and said, "I hope I can last until tomorrow's spring at least. If it's not enough, I can still stay in Alaska for a while."
After hearing this, Li Wei looked at the green-haired girl with emotion and said, "Do you want to raise everyone by yourself? This won't work, you will be exhausted."
Lorna shook her head helplessly and said, "Then what can I do? We need help, but we cannot rely on you to provide for it.
