Chapter 248: Sandman: I work as a plumber? Is that true?
The biggest difference between Bant and Killian is that -
Killian had nothing to hope for except the Extremis virus.
He was just waiting for the desperate virus to turn his miserable life around and let those who looked down on him see what he could achieve.
Especially Tony Stark!
Killian longs for success and must succeed, because only in this way can he obtain a healthy body, extraordinary status and power, as well as fame and wealth!
But for Bant, the self-healing serum, the improved super soldier serum... and other projects under research are as effective as the Extremis virus.
He didn't put any resources into something that was incomplete.
No one knows what consequences viruses will bring when they transform the human body.
Moreover, they evolve and mutate very quickly, making them difficult to control.
Just like the new X virus, it was originally a virus developed by Americans targeting the genes of Asians, but soon after it was released, it swept the world and fell into an uncontrollable situation.
Even in the laboratory, Bant was able to contain the development of the Extremis virus, but it was hard to say what would happen to it once it left the laboratory.
"I'm sorry, Dr. Killian, your research content is not consistent with the development direction of our company."
Bant shook his head and pushed the papers on the table back in front of Killian.
This action immediately plunged Killian into despair.
"But, but..."
“I’m almost there!”
To be honest, Killian couldn't figure it out.
A research project is almost about to produce results. It is only one step away from bearing fruit. Primus only needs to invest a little bit of money to enjoy the results. Isn't this much more reliable than those research laboratories that cheat on funding?
But now there is a lot of money in front of Bant, and he doesn't want it?
"Well, or do you have different opinions on the profit sharing? We can discuss this slowly, even if you want 30%..."
what? !
70% belongs to others? 30% is yours?
Bant almost blurted out.
But to be honest, a 30% profit is a lot. After all, the desperate virus is only one step away from success. Even if Primos wants to invest money, it won’t be too much.
“It’s not a question of profit sharing.”
Bant said, "Mr. Killian, you are the founder of the Extremis virus, so you must be aware of the disadvantages of this thing."
Killian was speechless for a moment.
The Extremis virus is extremely unstable, and he knows this better than anyone else.
All current experimental data indicate that once the subject's emotions become violently agitated, it is very likely that the number of viruses in the body will surge, causing the entire body to ignite and explode.
This is just a defect at the current stage. As the virus continues to evolve and mutate, various versions of the desperate virus may appear.
But facing someone who knows the business, Killian couldn't say "I can control it".
After his body trembled for a long time, Killian suddenly became deflated like a deflated balloon.
"I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Parker."
"I'm leaving now..."
The unkempt man clumsily picked up the messy documents on the table and stood up like a stray dog.
"and many more."
Bant called him.
"Mr. Parker, is there anything else you can do for me?"
Killian paused. He couldn't think of what Bant might want to say to keep him. Could it be that the other party had changed his mind now?
He also knew that the possibility was not high.
But it is inevitable to have expectations.
Bant said, "I see Mr. Killian seems to have some health problems?"
Killian clenched his fists instantly, feeling a prick of pain in his heart, but before he could react, Bant continued.
"It just so happens that Primus's self-healing potion has reached a new stage through research. Whether it is an acquired injury or a genetic defect, it has the possibility of being cured. I wonder if Mr. Killian is willing to try it?"
Killian's eyes lit up, but quickly dimmed.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm afraid I can't afford the treatment..."
"No charge." Bant said calmly, "Although the Extremis virus does not conform to Primos's development philosophy, I admire your knowledge. A genius like you should not be constrained by a flawed appearance."
Killian didn't know how to refuse, and he couldn't refuse Bant's proposal.
In fact, when he came to his senses, he found himself lying in the hospital in Primus, waiting for surgery.
Outside the operating room.
Mary Jane was puzzled.
"Xiaoban, you obviously don't plan to cooperate with him, why are you helping him?"
"It's not that I don't intend to cooperate with him, but the development of the Extremis virus is now going in the wrong direction." Bant shook his head.
In some versions, the Extremis virus is essentially a type of nanotechnology. Since Killian and Hansen can create the current Extremis virus, it may not be impossible for them to create another version of the Extremis virus with better quality.
Therefore, Bant's move can be regarded as a gesture of goodwill.
Anyway, the cost of healing potions is very low now and it doesn’t cost much.
As for who Killian will find to continue investing in the research of the current Extremis virus after leaving Primus, and what kind of revenge he will take against Tony, it is no longer Bant's business.
Tony Stark created his own troubles, so of course he has to solve them himself.
Bant still has a lot of research and magic to learn.
"Oh, yes."
Bant was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something.
He took out the Mind Gem wrapped in a magic tool and handed it to Mary Jane.
"Infinity Gems?"
Mary Jane was stunned, not understanding what Bant was going to do.
"I remember that this gem should be kept in the Tiangong Space Station, right?"
At that time, after Bant created the celestial energy dimension - Regidomon at the Ancient One's side, he put the gems back. Three of the gems were stored on Sakaar, and the Mind Gem remained on Earth.
He also needs to use the energy of the gems to stimulate Wanda and Quicksilver's superpowers.
"This one isn't real. The energy inside can only be used once." Bant explained, "Put it in the company first. I guess someone will need it after a while."
Of course, Bant was referring to Ultron.
Tony is now developing a defense system for Ultron. His intention is good, but Ultron is a guy who is determined to destroy the world after browsing the Internet for five minutes.
Bant didn't think he was to blame.
After all, the Internet has indeed magnified the malice of many people. Sometimes, just surfing the Internet, he can be so angry that he wants to destroy the world.
However, Bant's focus is not on Ultron, but on the body that Ultron wants to build for himself.
The Vibranium body created based on Zhao Hailun's theory of regeneration cradle technology is the Vision of the future. But in Bant's opinion, Vision, you'd better not come.
The vegetable who picks his feet is talking about you.
All I understand about the Mind Stone is that it's a guy that shoots lasers, which is a waste of vibranium material.
Bant's plan was that since Ultron was kind enough to prepare a body, he would accept it without hesitation and give Eunice a chance.
That's right!
He plans to use Ultron to materialize Eunice.
Bant clapped his hands and said, "No matter if you are Tony Stark or Ultron, all of you come work for me!"
"Give this file to Dr. Zhao, and then increase the funding for the Regeneration Cradle. Tell her that if she encounters any difficulties, upload it to the Eunice database immediately and I will solve it myself."
Bant handed a paper document to Mary Jane, which recorded Bant's research and analysis of the regeneration cradle, as well as his vision of Eunice's future abilities.
Unitrix, he had envisioned completing her long ago, and now was the chance.
The only problem is that Zhao Hailun's theory is not perfect enough. Even if it is perfected to the level of Avengers 2, it is still not perfect in Bant's opinion.
After giving the instructions, Bant prepared to go to Kamar-Taj again.
At this stage, it is more important to cultivate natural energy.
After all, as for Unitrix, it doesn’t matter even if we miss out on Ultron. We have the technology and materials, and we can realize it at any time.
Bant left, and after he left, the mysterious power of the spider totem began to awaken.
In an unknown corner, the spider web incident was slowly brewing.
This period of time was simply magical for Flint Marko.
First, the underworld emperor Kingpin died at the hands of the queen of the night Black Cat, then the gangs began to suffer attacks from many sides, and then even the alien invasion came.
The entire Manhattan was razed to the ground, and Hell's Kitchen was naturally not spared.
But this also brought them new opportunities.
The remains of those aliens after they died in the battle carried alien technology, and many people took risks and made a fortune for it.
And after the war, the Queen of the Night who used to haunt Hell's Kitchen also disappeared.
The black cat disappeared, and the rats in the sewer emerged again.
Flint Marko is no exception.
It's just that he was unlucky. He had been caught before and missed the good opportunity to pick up the alien drops.
Now that he was finally released from prison, the black cat happened to appear again.
And according to his inquiries, there are more and more superhero vigilantes on the streets of New York during this period.
It now seems that staying in New York may not be a good option.
As Flint walked along the gradually darkening street, he looked into the distance.
The city’s buildings were covered with green gauze and supported by bamboo frames, like a wounded person wearing plaster bandages and living a crippled life.
The city has long been in ruins.
But at least it is being treated. Primos has put a steel plate in it and wrapped it with a bandage. One day in the future, New York will show a new look.
Just like those who work on the construction site.
Rebuilding New York provided jobs for many people, and everyone was happy, except Flint.
Because the money comes too slowly from doing these hard labors, he can't afford to wait!
"One more job, then ditch the name and go to Georgia," Flint thought.
He doesn't care about his current name, it's just a pseudonym.
His real name was William Baker.
This is the future Sandman that Bant was looking for in the New York police network, but couldn't find...
Primus Basement.
Uncle Ben and Aunt May changed out of their plumbers' uniforms and prepared to go home.
Now both of them have passed the primary assessment for plumbers and have become glorious first-class plumbers.
But in terms of fighting ability, Uncle Ben is no worse than Harry now.
Aunt May sighed, "Wanda and Pietro went to the space station, leaving the two of us alone and it was pretty lonely."
"There's no other way. We have a lot of missions on Earth, and I can only sleep comfortably in that small house in Queens," said Uncle Ben. "It would be too much trouble for us to commute between space and Earth every day."
Aunt Mei nodded. She thought so too, so she didn't go to the space station to live permanently.
"Luckily, Dr. Banner is also there. I hope they won't have to fall behind in their studies."
In Aunt Mei's opinion, nothing is more important than studying hard.
Hasn’t you seen how outstanding her good boy Bant is now?
It’s all thanks to his hard work in studying!
Bant: Little Broken Watch, Transform!
As the two talked, they came to the garage, got into Uncle Ben's old car, and then talked about the mission.
During this time they were investigating lost alien weapons.
Although Norman asked the people from the Hammer Agency to clean up the mess as soon as the war ended, there were always people who acted faster and hid some technology.
Those things are inherently dangerous, and if anything is really discovered from their research, they would also be hidden dangers.
Therefore, the agents of the . and a few plumbers are investigating the matter, and even Peter is involved.
The boy had just returned from space not long ago, and he met a flying guy during a mission, so he went to investigate that guy.
The two were not too worried about Peter's safety. After all, they had already fought the aliens, so they didn't care about a small vulture.
The sky has darkened.
Christmas is just a few days away. Ben and Mei were chatting idly, thinking about what kind of gifts to give to the children.
And just at this moment, a shout suddenly came from the end of the street.
This instantly captured Ben and May's attention.
Uncle Ben stopped the car with his foot and turned his head to look. He saw a strong man holding something in his arms and running away with a terrified look on his face.
It was William Baker!
After deciding to leave New York temporarily, William Baker got a small pistol without hesitation and prepared to rob someone unlucky.
So an underground boxing ring became his target.
However, because the crime was committed in a hurry, William Baker did not plan his escape route.
Now the security guard of the boxing ring has rushed out, and it is at this time that he sees Uncle Ben's car parked on the side of the road.
At this moment, there was only one voice in William Baker's mind:
Take that car and run!
If anyone in the car dares to resist, just shoot him dead!
So, William Baker, who had not yet realized that he was about to face a plumber, took the small pistol and fired at him.
