The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

In the bustling press conference venue, the guests who came to participate in the press conference were all in suits and ties, and there were many big names among them.

The seats on the left are all dignitaries from the military and political circles, and there is even a White House adviser, while the seats on the right are celebrities from the business world, including Pepper and Stark, Osborne, the heads of Hammer Military Industry, and people from all walks of life. The boss of more than 20 small companies.

On the rear right are academic figures, including Schiller, Strange, Connors, Ethan, and more than 30 other doctoral degree holders or well-known university professors. The two rows at the back together may have more than 10,000 people. Hundreds of doctorates.

Among them, Strange and Schiller sat together on the far right, behind Stark. Both of them were in suits and leather shoes, sitting upright on chairs. Strange did not turn his head, but whispered to him. Schiller said: The theory about the so-called immortality factor's repairing effect on the nervous system is so nonsense that I can't even read it.

Whenever you can't stop reading, just think about the last series of numbers in the contract.

So in the next few months, I have to be like a liar and recite theories that make no sense at all in this situation every day?

No, you have a lot more to do in the next few months, like leaving your job and moving, and most importantly counting your money.

Speaking of which, the host of the press conference invited Strange to the stage. Strange stood up, adjusted his suit and tie, and then walked to the front of the press conference with a speech.

... Just like the research results published by the Stark Group and the Osborne Group before, as an expert in the field of neurosurgery, after I obtained the precious experimental samples, I also discovered the self-repair and reverse growth of the human body. The secret...

Stark, who was drowsy in the audience, was patted by Pepper. He was excited, then rubbed his eyes, looked around, and found that the chair next to Schiller was empty, so he walked over quietly, and then He sat down next to Schiller and said, How much money did you promise him to make him tell such lies without changing his expression?

In short, the salary is much higher than his.

I thought he would be a somewhat career-ambitious kind of guy.

Of course he does. He calls himself the most powerful neurosurgeon in the world, and that's true. You haven't heard of his name, right? 'God's gift to the human medical community.'

What a big statement. I haven't even called myself 'God's gift to the human scientific community.'

I promised him a figure he couldn't refuse and hired him as the attending physician at the new sanitarium. You know, he has a big enough reputation to hold the position.

What about you? I thought you would be the attending physician yourself.

No, I'm the dean. I don't have time to treat patients myself. I have a lot to do.

You two unscrupulous quacks. Stark concluded: Whoever goes to your hospital is really unlucky.

After a while, Strange finally finished speaking. When he came back, he found that Stark had taken his place. He and Stark stared at each other, neither of them willing to give in. There was no other way but the one next to him. Dr. Ethan moved another chair for Strange.

Strange said to Stark: You'd better make sure the salary your conglomerate pays me is worthy of my brain being polluted by these bad theories.

Stark let out a disdainful snort from his nose and said: Your salary in a year is not as much as what the Stark Group makes in one minute.

Don't say that. Then Schiller comforted Strange and said, I will take you to meet Senator Bolt later. He is very interested in the immortality factor and happens to be short of a personal health consultant.

Wait a minute. Stark looked at Schiller in confusion and said, Why is there still something about being a congressman?

You are not collecting money from multiple sources, are you? You two are consultants to the United Group. Both the Osborn Group and I will pay you salaries. You are employed by SHIELD, and Nick should also pay you. The construction funds for the sanatorium should also include a salary for you, and now, you have to get to know the congressman again??

Strange rolled his eyes and said, I think it is necessary to appropriately broaden the career path.

Schiller said with great agreement: Yes, and they begged us to do this. The gentlemen on Capitol Hill, everyone wants to know some information about potions from me in advance, but you have to know that I am just a human being. Psychiatrists don’t know the specific medical principles, so I always need some professionals to help me at this time.”

By the way, Stephen, you and Dr. Connors will reconcile your confession later. Those congressmen also have health consultants themselves, and they are your enemies...

Strange snorted and said, I'm just pretending to be a liar, and those health consultants are a bunch of unlearned and real liars.

Then, he tilted his upper body towards Schiller and asked in a low voice: Is what Stark said just now true? Are you planning to collect money from multiple sources?

It's not me, it's us. Schiller also leaned over, and the two gathered together to discuss in a low voice. Schiller said: A new technology that can change the future of mankind is on the market. What do you think is lacking most now? ?”

Before Strange could answer, Schiller answered himself: All forces hope that someone can explain to them what exactly this is and what changes it can bring.

As those who have actually participated in the research, we have the clearest and clearest right to explain. Everyone has to compete for it. Not only do we collect money from multiple parties, but we will serve whoever offers the highest price.

But I actually can't explain anything. Strange said: I have read Connors' research report. In fact, we have not cracked this thing...

You don't need a real explanation. You just need to use the professional terms you know and emphasize one sentence repeatedly - 'It works'. Remember, this is your main theme for the next few months. Repeat 'It works' repeatedly. .”

Does it really work?

Don't ask such stupid questions. Schiller looked around. There were congressmen in suits and military representatives in military uniforms. He said: We are just a harvesting machine without emotions. These rich and powerful people How long do leeks live, and what does it have to do with you?

I like your attitude very much. Strange tilted his head and said, It seems that I misunderstood you a little before. We still have a lot in common.

Don't forget, as soon as the resignation procedures at Presbyterian Hospital are completed, you will go to work in the nursing home immediately. The positions are fully booked for the next two months, and you will be very busy next.

What about the split?

Just like we agreed...

Stark heard the two of them discussing in low voices for a long time. He was curious about what they were talking about, but he was too embarrassed to go over and eavesdrop openly, so he pretended to be disdainful and said: You two unscrupulous quacks , I definitely didn’t say anything good.”

Strange and Schiller looked at each other and said, We may be unscrupulous...

...but definitely not a quack.

After the press conference, Schiller took Strange to the office of SHIELD's reception center. Nick was waiting for them in the office. As soon as Schiller walked in, Nick came up and shook hands with Strange. Said: Is this the general consultant of the Immortality Factor series of products? Hello, I am Nick Fury.

Strange looked up and down at the environment in the SHIELD office. Before he could ask all the questions, Schiller said directly to Nick: The construction period of the sanatorium should be at the end. When will it be available? Open for business?”

“The previous owner of that old bank used it with great care, and there’s really not much that needs to be fixed, and it should be open in about a week.”

So what about the ribbon-cutting ceremony, have you arranged it? Nick and Schiller walked to a table together and sat down across from each other, with Strange sitting next to them.

No problem, everyone who should attend will attend. In addition, the follow-up construction plan of the sanatorium has also been put on the agenda, but for these follow-up construction, you have to talk to Stark and Osborne Group, they are the Real investors.”

Also. Nick looked at Schiller and said, What are you going to call this sanatorium? You can't just call it the Immortality Factor Sanatorium, right?

Schiller smiled and said, How about calling it Arkham Sanitarium?

Arkham? This should be a last name, right? As soon as Nick finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment, and then he and Strange looked at the ring on Schiller's hand.

Schiller continued: It's just a joke, the name is not important, you decide...

No, no, no, I'm sorry. You don't have to tell me the reason. You have the right to name it. You can name it whatever you think of.

Schiller glanced at the two of them. Nick and Strange's expressions were very strange. He knew that these two people must have misunderstood something.

When everyone's attitude towards a misunderstanding is No, you don't need to explain, it is already very difficult to clarify. But when they adopt an attitude of I understand, I understand everything, it is difficult to clarify. clarified.

Nick and Strange both knew something about the origin of Schiller's freezing technology. Schiller claimed to be I have a friend, but the more he said this, the more everyone felt that he was covering up something. .

I have a friend, I understand everything.

In any case, the name was decided so hastily. Because of the haste, on the day the Arkham Sanatorium opened, no one knew why the Sanatorium was called Arkham.

Schiller had been relatively low-key before. He was not as well-known in medicine as Strange. He also stayed behind the scenes most of the time. Except for a few core characters, others didn't know much about him.

So much so that most people thought that the dean's surname was Arkham, so Schiller directly changed his real name. Most people called him Dean Arkham instead of Dean Rodriguez .

It was a rare sunny day when the Arkham Sanatorium opened and the ribbon was cut. At the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Schiller invited all his friends in the world and conducted intensive training for them the night before.

...Yes, I'm sure it is useful. Although I am responsible for pathology research, I also know some of the confidential research results. Of course I can tell you this...

Oh, yes...that's right, I'm a high school student, and I just help Dr. Connors in the laboratory. What? Have I seen the exact report? I can't reveal this to you, it's confidential. ...Well, I can only tell you that with so many researchers working on this thing, it can’t be completely useless, right?”

Indeed, I am a Ph.D. in physics, but I think you have misunderstood the scope of physics. I did participate in this experiment, especially in the development of medical devices for immortality factors. Do you think I would treat a person Spend so much energy on useless things?”

Extension of life? Your estimate of its effect is too conservative. Sir, as a psychology expert, I can responsibly tell you that it is also effective in regulating people's emotions...

Anyway, don't ask so much, I'm Stark! Stark told you it works, it just works!

I think you heard...

Yes, that's right, we all said that...

What's wrong with this?

Do you need me to emphasize it again?

Of course it works...

It works!
