When Su Ming heard that there was a commission, his eyes lit up as usual.
But Ms. Pepper is with Tony every day, what can she entrust me with?
His Tony is rich and has a mecha...
Su Ming couldn't figure out what Ms. Pepper meant.
"It's Tony. I suspect he has PTSD. But he insists he has no problem and refuses to receive treatment. His symptoms have been getting worse recently..."
It was Tony indeed.
Su Ming couldn't think of anything else that would make Ms. Pepper find him.
"So, what can I do to help?"
"Wait a moment……"
The sound of high heels rang out over the phone for a while, and Ms. Pepper seemed to have come to a quiet place.
After a few seconds, the voice started again:
"You are one of the few people he recognizes. I hope you can help him get out of the shadows... I know your rules. 80 billion!"
"How many?"
Su Ming couldn't believe his ears when he heard that.
The price I got from Tony before was never so high, but when it came to Ms. Pepper, she asked for 80 billion.
Could it be that Tony had a hidden trick up his sleeve when he gave me the quote?
Thinking of this, Su Ming was a little dissatisfied, and his tone became cold:
"Ma'am, regardless of whether you can decide to pay the 80 billion commission, I still suggest you see a doctor for Tony's condition..."
Pepper had been in the business world for many years and immediately heard the dissatisfaction in Su Ming's tone, thinking that the price was too low.
But in order for her lover to recover as soon as possible, she did not hesitate to add another price:
"90 billion! Sir! I'm sincere."
"why me?"
Su Ming heard the determination in Pepper's words and was very confused.
Ms. Pepper would never tell Su Ming that she had asked around and no one was willing to take the job.
When asked about S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury suggested asking Mr. Fate, and his tone was so certain.
Chapter 139 Just wait for me
Tony Stark was later asked in an interview:
"Among your many excellent mechas, which one are you most dissatisfied with?"
Tony narrowed his eyes and fell into reminiscence:
"The most unsatisfactory thing... not really.
After all, these are all works that I am proud of...
However, there was one set of armor that really made me want to destroy it myself..."
That is Mark 42, the Prodigal Son - also known as the "Anti-Tony Armor"
The Prodigal Son is an engineering prototype.
With the iteration of the Mark Armor, the ways of arming and transforming have become more diverse with Tony Stark's genius ideas.
This engineering prototype was specially developed by Tony in order to experiment with a new type of wearable device - human implant.
The free fall from the roof of Stark Tower that almost killed him put too much pressure on Tony's no longer young heart.
He was nearly frightened to death.
From then on, falling from a high place without protection became a shadow in Tony's midnight dreams.
In order to eliminate this hidden danger, he implanted a micro-sensing chip into his body.
This way, he can remotely control the mecha for assembly.
Since this technology is currently unstable, various problems will occur every time you wear the Prodigal Son.
For example, the mecha module flying towards Tony cannot adjust its posture properly, so it cannot fit perfectly.
He couldn't even control the speed at which he flew towards Tony.
Tony's vitals were hit hard, and for several days, he could still feel the pain in his lower body...
After the Battle of New York, Tony saw real alien technology.
This made him feel an unprecedented sense of urgency, and he began to frantically manufacture various types of steel armor.
At the same time, Stark Industries' business projects have successfully transformed from arms to clean energy, and no longer eat bloody buns.
Although he made considerable progress at work, Tony suffered from severe anxiety due to his long period of self-isolation due to his immersion in research and development.
When he wasn't wearing armor, he would feel an inexplicable fear.
Even facing young fans who come to ask for autographs makes Tony uncomfortable.
Rather than an anxiety disorder, it is more like post-traumatic stress disorder, abbreviated as PTSD.
This is a psychological disorder caused by experiencing or witnessing extreme traumatic events, characterized by intrusive symptoms, avoidance behavior, negative changes in cognition and mood, and hypervigilance.
Tony currently meets at least three of the core symptoms.
Only when he puts on the armor will he return to normal.
Even when sleeping, he needs the mecha to protect him.
Once, Tony summoned a mecha in a nightmare and almost hurt Ms. Pepper who was lying next to him.
Pepper Potts takes her lover's unusual behavior very seriously. Considering Tony's pride, Pepper has no choice but to find a solution in private.
After making inquiries from many parties, Pepper called Su Ming.
Mainly because the respected Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury, once said to him:
"As long as you pay, fate can solve any of your problems..."
Ms. Pepper was skeptical at first, but Nick Fury's tone didn't sound like a joke.
Considering Tony's personality, finding someone else might have a worse effect, so he finally decided to bet on Su Ming.
In fact, there is another reason, that is, Tony is not popular.
Although everyone expressed their condolences and concern for Tony when they spoke to Ms. Pepper, no one was willing to actually help.
"Mr. Fate, you know Tony's character. Anyway, please help!"
When Su Ming heard Ms. Pepper's starting offer of 80 billion, he re-examined Stark Industries in his mind.
Before, the commissions Tony gave him were all worth hundreds of millions, and he looked like he was in pain.
Unexpectedly, Pepper asked for nearly 10 billion without blinking an eye just to help Tony cure a small psychological trauma.
Although Su Ming recognized Ms. Pepper's determination to treat Tony, the difference between before and after made Su Ming feel a little unbalanced.
"So the richer you are, the more stingy you become..."
Thinking of this, Su Ming's smile faded a little:
"100 billion. This is just for the sake of our old friendship."
Ms. Pepper's breath hitched on the other end of the line.
She didn't expect that this usually harmless Mr. Fatalism would change his expression when money was mentioned, and she was a little angry.
At this moment, she instantly understood the subtle gloating tone in Nick Fury's words.
"Nine billion is clearly a sky-high price, yet you're still not satisfied?"
Stark Industries is equipped with a world-class medical team, but Tony Stark is a stubborn person who refuses to admit that he has a mental illness and refuses treatment.
His abnormality has clearly affected his daily life.
A minor ailment that could be easily cured with the patient's cooperation has turned into a thorny issue that cannot be solved even with money.
Pepper was also helpless: Never mind, for Tony...
Silver teeth bite:
"Okay! 100 billion, but you have to make sure Tony is free from that pain..."
Ms. Pepper seemed to be busy meeting someone else and was silent for only a few seconds on the phone before making the decision.
She has been Stark's CEO for some time. Although she is gentle and considerate in daily life, she is decisive and ruthless in the business world and never drags her feet.
"Yo ho?"
Su Ming was amused when he heard the distrust in Ms. Pepper's words.
My rule has always been that I never refund money, so when did I start providing after-sales service?
If you don't believe me, don't come. Stop talking nonsense.
After going through so much, Su Ming is no longer the rookie who was easily tricked by others:
"I can't guarantee that! Besides, there are no refunds after the transfer."
“What the f**k…?”
Little Lajiao's face turned red with anger at Su Ming's self-righteous attitude:
You're just a third-party seller, who gave you the capital to be so arrogant? Why don't you provide after-sales service?
But considering that this is the only way to help Tony at the moment, Ms. Pepper said:
I can endure this wave, just wait and see!
At the same time, his impression of Su Ming was extremely bad:
I hope you can be as awesome as Nick Fury said...
Drip, drip, drip...
"Oh? This is... the negotiation broke down?"
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Su Ming didn't understand whether the deal was done or not.
As soon as I sat down at the dining table, I heard the system prompt sound in my head:
[+100 billion. Account balance: $12686 billion]
"Another order."
Su Ming was in a good mood. He couldn't help but smile when he saw Ned looking at Alyssa timidly across from him.
In fact, Su Ming now doesn't lack her 10 billion or 8 million. He is just venting his anger for his past self.
Thinking about how Tony bought his life from him for a mere 50 million, Su Ming wanted to complain about himself back then - what a country bumpkin.
At the same time, some can’t wait to visit the system mall again.
With more than 1.2 trillion yuan, Su Ming's account balance has reached the highest number in history, which also makes Su Ming full of expectations for his next improvement.
After breakfast, Alyssa went back to her room for a nap.
According to Ned's description, Su Ming opened a portal that led directly to Ned's room.
"Oh my god, sir! This trick of yours is so convenient... Doesn't it mean you can go anywhere?"
Originally, it was just Ned's emotion caused by the scene, but it reminded Su Ming:
"That's right! After the portal is upgraded, I can go anywhere. All I need is some simple information..."
Hydra's laboratory, Wakanda, and even Professor X's university... just go wherever you want, right?
Ned's unintentional words opened Su Ming's mind.
He even forgot to respond when the fat boy who walked through the portal waved goodbye to him.
"There's so much to do! I need to plan it out carefully..."
Muttering to himself, Su Ming returned to his room.
