Laura's Beautiful Journey
Chapter 4 Gifts from the Past
Laura and Tony exchanged names and started chatting while enjoying the food.
Tony did come with the intention of flirting with girls at first, but he was soon drowned in Laura's ton of questions.
"I heard you had a wild party last night. How are your kidneys?"
"I know there is a magic medicine in the East. Men often use it and women say yes. Do you want me to get you a few bottles to replenish it?"
"The name of the missile you and the military created called 'Jericho' is not domineering enough. How about calling it 'Ex-Wife'?"
"I have visited your giant Ark reactor. Your father is really a genius. If the size can be reduced, the application range will be wider. Do you want to cooperate with our group to develop it?"
Stark happened to be drinking Coke when he heard about 'ex-wife', and ended up drinking the Coke up his nose. Then he heard Laura praising his father, and he immediately replied arrogantly:
"My father's reactor concept is very advanced, but it is not very practical at present. And I will definitely make a weapon that surpasses the times! The missile is called 'Ex-Wife', which is really bluffing, but it is just a way for me to cope with military cooperation. It's just a small toy. As for cooperating with you, forget about it. Your Croft Group's biotechnology is good, but in terms of energy, you are making some batteries for electric toy cars. It's too naive."
Laura couldn't refute it. After all, the concept of building electric vehicles was brought over from teams in Asia and Europe. For Americans who love all kinds of high-horsepower muscle cars, EVs are for girls and pretty boys.
In order to cover up the embarrassment of having just sprayed Coke, Tony criticized all the projects of the Crawford Group.
Laura was not unhappy, after all, it was all the truth, and Tony, as the IQ person in charge of the Marvel world, also made many constructive suggestions while casually criticizing. I also secretly turned on the recording on my phone.
Tony, who was very interested, kept talking for half an hour. He felt his mouth was dry. He quickly stopped and took a sip of Happy Water to moisten his throat. Suddenly, he remembered his original intention and spoke again:
"Actually, you can talk about cooperation if you want. I happen to be free tonight. Do you want to come and discuss it in detail?"
Laura smiled and replied:
"Thank you Mr. Stark for your hospitality and teachings, but I am very busy tonight, and if we talk at night, I would be more interested in 'talking' with your secretary Pepper~"
After saying that, Laura waved and walked out of the restaurant, preparing to return to the company.
Tony, on the other hand, bit his straw and sat in his seat, thinking, 'What does she mean by talking to Pepper? Pepper doesn't understand this either? Could it be that she wanted to poach Pepper? ! ’
Thinking of this, Tony quickly checked out and ran all the way back to Stark Tower and went straight to Pepper's assistant's office.
Pepper was startled by Tony who rushed in directly. After calming down as soon as possible, he asked:
"Mr. Stark, why are you looking for me so urgently?"
"Are you going to change jobs? Don't jump! From today on, your salary and benefits will be doubled! Stay in Stark Industries!" Tony gasped.
Pepper made Tony a little confused. Of course he would be happy to have his salary doubled, and he had no plans to leave Stark.
"gentlemen."
"Call me Tony."
"Okay, Tony, I have no plans to leave Stark Industries, and if I leave now, your life might be messed up."
"Humph, how is that possible? I have always taken care of myself."
"So Tony, what's your Social Security number?"
"Well, don't you remember this? Ha... I suddenly remembered something, so I'm going back to the office first!"
Looking at Tony running away, Pepper smiled helplessly, not knowing what Tony was up to today.
................
After meeting and having a meal with a big dog owner, Laura recorded a lot of Stark's thoughts about his own project, and teased him before leaving. Laura was very happy.
While listening to the recording on her personal computer in the office, Laura gradually realized her shortcomings.
Laura now has money and a lot of resources, but her own knowledge and abilities are insufficient. It’s not easy to recruit people either. There are crazy scientists everywhere in this world. If you can’t control them when you recruit them, you could end up like Hammer Industries who recruited Ivan Vanko.
However, Ross can be asked to find Anton Vanke. This old man should still be alive now. He also contributed a lot to the Ark Project. If he can save his life and control it, he should be able to build a reactor.
But you have to be strong in blacksmithing. Laura also plans to replenish her knowledge and then go to a university such as California Institute of Technology for further study.
After finishing her business at the company, Laura drove back to her villa on Long Island. It can be said that I have become addicted to cars. In my previous life, from when I got my driver's license to when it was about to expire, I never touched a car a few times.
After parking the car, Laura took the wooden box and went to the bedroom, put it beside the bed and jumped on the big bed.
"Ah, I miss you so much, my soft big bed~"
He rolled on the bed and made a "pop" sound. He turned around and saw that the box had been rubbed to the ground, so he fished it up easily.
"Ah, why did the ground crack? It's too weak."
Laura could only sit up and push the sawdust away from the bottom of the box.
"Huh? These are...two keyholes?!"
Laura quickly locked the door, then took out the two keys from the box. After trying the order back and forth, both keys were inserted smoothly.
His hands shook a little.
"Click!"
The bottom of the box was opened, and there was a piece of paper inside. After taking it out, there was a delicate jade pendant at the bottom.
Laura quickly took out these two items and looked at the letter paper first.
"Laura, my dear little monkey, you should have grown into a beautiful woman now.
If you read this letter, it means that I have left you forever.
After searching for clues to eternal life for so many years, although I have some relatively clear information, there is a shadowy force that is obstructing me in every possible way from exploring the truth.
Don't be sad, I should be reunited with your mother in heaven now, and you should be happy for us.
This jade pendant was found during our first expedition together, but you threw it in front of me because you were angry because I was leaving you again to go to Africa for archeology.
I have kept it well over the years, and now I hope you will take it with you as a talisman.
I hope it can replace us and continue to protect you.
Live a good life, never be afraid of challenges, and make your contribution to this world!
Finally, remember that you will always be our dearest little monkey.
Love you Richard Crawford”
Slowly putting away the letter, Laura felt a little depressed.
"After all, it was still influenced by the original owner."
Picking up the jade pendant, I turned it over and over and found nothing special. The extremely green pendant was quite beautiful.
After thinking about it, no matter in the past life or now, there is a saying of lucky amulet, Laura decided to wear it.
After putting on the pendant, Laura was about to go downstairs to find something to eat. As soon as she stood up, she felt that the cold emerald on her chest suddenly became hot, and her head suddenly became dizzy.
Laura quickly sat back on the bed with her hands on her hands, stretched out her hands and rubbed her temples. At this time, a vague female voice sounded in my mind:
"The Soul of Adventure has been integrated, and the integrity is 0.1%. Please complete an adventure as soon as possible, host, to gain resonance with the Soul of Adventure."
. . . . . .
Why did this world suddenly become magical?
