The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 143 It Works
In the bustling press conference venue, the guests who came to the press conference were all in suits and leather shoes, and there were many big names among them.

The seats on the left are all important figures in the military and political circles, and there is even an adviser to the White House, while those on the right are celebrities in the business world, including Pepper and Stark, Osborn, the head of Hammer Military Industry, and the big and small The boss of more than 20 small companies.

At the rear right are academics, including Schiller, Strange, Connors, Ethan and more than 30 other doctoral degree holders or well-known university professors. Hundreds of PhDs.

Among them, Strange and Schiller are sitting together on the far right, that is, behind Stark. Both of them are in suits and leather shoes, sitting straight on the chairs. Strange does not turn his head, but whispers to "That so-called immortality factor repairing the nervous system theory is so bullshit that I can't read it," Schiller said.

"Whenever you can't read it, just think about the last string of numbers in the contract."

"So for the next few months, every day in this situation, I have to read those nonsense theories like a liar?"

"No, you have more things to do in the next few months, such as resignation and moving, and most importantly counting money."

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

"...Just like the research results released 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. my secret..."

The drowsy Stark under the stage was patted by Pepper. He was shocked, then rubbed his eyes, looked around, and found that the chair next to Schiller was empty, so he walked over quietly, and then Sit down next to Schiller and say, "How much money did you promise him to make him say such nonsense without changing his face?"

"In short, it is much higher than his salary."

"I thought he'd be the kind of guy with a bit of career aspirations."

"Of course he has. He claims to be the most powerful neurosurgeon in the world, and it's true. You haven't heard of his title? 'God's gift to the human medical community'."

"What a big breath, I haven't called myself 'God's gift to the human science community' yet."

"I promised him a number he couldn't refuse, and I hired him as the attending physician at the new nursing home, and you know, he's big enough for the job."

"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, "It's really bad luck for anyone to go to your hospital."

After a while, Strange finally finished speaking. When he came back, he found that Stark had taken his place. He and Stark were staring at each other. Neither of them was willing to back down. Dr. Ethan moved another chair for Strange.

Strange said to Stark, "You'd better make sure that your conglomerate pays me a salary that's worth my brain tainted by these bad theories."

Stark let out a disdainful cold snort from his nose and said, "Your annual salary is not as much as the Stark Group earns in one minute."

"Don't say that." Then Schiller comforted Strange and said, "I'll take you to meet Mr. Poulter later. He is very interested in the immortality factor, and he just needs a personal health consultant."

"Wait." Stark looked at Schiller suspiciously and said, "Why is there still something about the congressman?"

"Couldn't you be collecting money from multiple parties? You two are consultants of the United Group. Both I and the Osborne Group will pay you salaries. You are also employed by SHIELD. Nick should also pay you. The construction funds of the nursing home should also include a salary for you, and now, you are going to meet the congressman??"

Strange rolled his eyes and said, "I think it's also necessary to broaden your career path appropriately."

Schiller agreed: "That's right, and they begged us to do this, the gentlemen of Capitol Hill, everyone wants to know some information about medicine in advance from me, but you have to know, I'm just a Psychiatrists don't know the specific medical principles, and I always need some professionals to help me at this time."

"By the way, Stephen, you and Dr. Connors will have a good statement later. Those members of parliament also have health consultants themselves, and they are your enemies..."

Strange let out a cold snort, and said, "I'm just pretending to be a liar, and those group of health consultants are really liars."

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

"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 the most lacking thing now?" ?”

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

"As the ones who really participated in the research, we have the clearest right of interpretation, and everyone is fighting for it. Not only do we collect money from multiple parties, but we serve whoever offers the highest price."

"But I can't actually explain anything." Strange said, "I've read Connors' research report, and we haven't actually cracked this thing..."

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

"Does it really work?"

"Don't ask such stupid questions." Schiller looked around, there were congressmen in suits and leather shoes, and military representatives in military uniforms, he said: "We are just a harvesting machine without emotion. How long do leeks live, what does it have to do with you?"

"I like your attitude very much." Strange turned his head to the side and said, "It seems that I misunderstood you a little bit before, but we still have a lot in common."

"Don't forget, when the resignation procedures of the Presbyterian Hospital are completed, you will immediately go to work in the nursing home. The next two months are fully booked, and you will be very busy next time."

"Then what's the share?"

"Just as we agreed..."

Stark heard the two of them discussing in a low voice for a long time. He was curious about what the two of them were talking about, but he was too embarrassed to eavesdrop. So he pretended to be disdainful and said: "You two unscrupulous quacks , I must have said nothing good."

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

"...But definitely not a quack doctor."

After the press conference, Schiller brought Strange to the office of the S.H.I.E.L.D. reception center. Nick was waiting for them in the office. As soon as Schiller walked in, Nick came up and shook hands with Strange. Say: "Is this the general counsel for the Immortality Factor line of products? Hello, I'm Nick Fury."

Strange looked up and down the environment in the S.H.I.E.L.D. office, and before he could ask his stomach full of questions, Schiller directly said to Nick: "The construction period of the sanatorium should have come to an end, when will it be possible?" open?"

"The former owner of the old bank used it with great care. In fact, there are not many places to be repaired. It can be opened in about a week."

"Then what about the ribbon-cutting ceremony, has it been arranged?" Nick and Schiller walked to a table together and sat down facing 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 nursing home has also been put on the agenda, but for the follow-up construction, you have to talk to Stark and the Osborne Group. A real investor."

"Also." Nick looked at Schiller and said, "What name are you going to call this nursing home? You can't just call it the Immortal Factor Sanatorium, right?"

Schiller laughed. "What about Arkham Sanitarium?"

"Arkham? This should be a surname, right?" Nick was taken aback as soon as he finished speaking, and then, together with Strange, looked at the ring on Schiller's hand.

Schiller went on to say: "Just kidding, the name is not important, you come and decide..."

"No, no, sorry, you don't need to say the reason, the right to name it is up to you, you can think of any name."

Schiller glanced at the two of them. The expressions on Nick and Strange were very strange. He knew that the two must have misunderstood something.

When everyone's attitude towards a misunderstanding is "No, you don't need to explain", it is already difficult to clarify, and when they show an attitude of "I understand, I understand", don't even think about it. clarified.

Both Nick and Strange knew about the source of the frozen technology in Schiller's hands. 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" Well, I understand everything.

No matter what, the name was decided hastily. Because it was too hasty, on the day Arkham Sanatorium opened, no one knew why the sanatorium was called Arkham.

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

So much so that most people thought that the Dean’s surname was Arkham, so Schiller directly lost his real name, and most people called him “Dean Arkham” instead of “Dean Rodriguez” .

The opening day of Arkham Sanatorium was a rare sunny day. During the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Schiller invited all his friends in this world and gave them intensive training the night before.

"...Yes, I'm sure it's useful. Although I'm in charge of pathology research, I've also learned about some confidential research results. Of course I can tell you that..."

"Oh, yes... That's right, I'm a high school student, and I'm just helping Dr. Connors in the lab, what? Have I seen the exact report? I can't tell you this, 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 research and development of medical devices for immortality factors. Spend so much energy on useless things?"

"Prolong life? Your estimate of its effect is too conservative, sir. As a psychologist, I can tell you responsibly that it is also effective in regulating people's emotions..."

"Anyway, don't ask so many questions, I'm Stark! Stark told you it's useful, and it's useful!"

"I thought you heard..."

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

"What's wrong with that?"

"Do you want me to emphasize it again?"

"Of course it works..."

"It works!"
