Chapter 33: The Meaning of Heroism

Taking Tony's check for $1,000, Lee Kit left Stark Industries with Pepp. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The conversation between Tony and Peppard just now reached Li Jie's ears. If memory serves, Tony Stark was kidnapped by armed terrorists known as freedom fighters while he was showing the latest Jerry missiles to the U.S. military in Afghanistan.

Tony, who had always thought that the weapon he had made was used to protect the country, did not know until that time.

It turns out that his weapons are not only used to protect the people, but also become the accomplice of the executioners in the war-torn countries that cause a large number of casualties.

From that moment on, Tony really began his metamorphosis, and began to shoulder the responsibilities entrusted to him like a hero.

Sitting in the car, Li Jie smiled in the rearview mirror. "Without life's ups and downs, Tony Stark is just a genius after all. ”

It took two nights for Li Kit and Peter to hand out the money they had gotten from the dealers.

Many orphanages and welfare institutions in New York have received some donations from them, which is generous, but it is a good deed.

However, Li Jie is still depressed, because the previous fight in the underground garage was covered up by the Stanich family.

Neither the media nor the Internet mentioned this incident, which caused Li Jie's reputation to gain very little, because except for a small number of people in the Stanich family.

Ordinary people in other societies don't know what Li Jie has done.

What makes Li Jie even more depressed is the act of donating funds, and the media in this era are all urine. Hope for explosive, impactful journalism.

For example, homicides, celebrity scandals or politician scandals. And the news that is really positive is basically mentioned in passing.

Because modern people are entertainment first, the spirit of fast food to death. I don't like those things anymore, and many people have dark speculations in their minds.

Isn't there an ulterior py transaction behind every good deed? Is there a team behind everyone who does good deeds hype.

In this situation, reports of all kinds of good people and good deeds are becoming less and less noticeable. Instead, it is the news of the dark side that rises.

All kinds of conspiracy theories are full of this impetuous era, and social news has become more and more angry. This donation to the welfare organization in New York has not been extremely large.

The news only mentioned it in the corners, and it didn't get much attention at all. This time, Li Zhuo was born and died, and in the end, he only gained a few hundred points of prestige.

Let Li Jie sigh without sighing, this world really needs heroes? In this busy and complicated world, everyone only cares about themselves.

Hero is not a normal profession, it is not a punctual clock-in, at the end of the month to receive a salary, overtime has a bonus. Of course, you will not be compensated by the workers' compensation for the injury.

The starting point of everything Li Jie does is to be stronger for himself, but he also hopes to bring some positive energy to others, and he wants his behavior to be recognized.

On a high-rise building in Queens, Lee Kit sits on the edge of the roof, watching the endless stream of vehicles in New York City at night.

The lights of these vehicles move with the vehicles, like a colorful river, rushing and roaring through the colorful city.

"Nightcrawler, what are you thinking?" Peter had changed into a more beautiful outfit, a red and blue bodysuit, and a prototype of Spider-Man.

Both of them have been relatively low-key for the past two days, because they are hiding from the search of the Stanich family. So except for Peter's occasional move, he solved a few little thieves and practiced his hands.

Li Jie did nothing at all, except to send money to those welfare agencies.

"Peter, have you ever thought about what you have really paid as a hero?" Li Jie sorted out his thoughts and sorted out his words.

"We give up the comfort of our own homes to stop crime in the dark. Li Jie's words were a little confused. "We donate most of the money we get to people in need in this society. ”

"But every time we have to risk injuries and even our lives. Peter looked at Li Jie with some concern, but Li Jie continued to speak.

"Even so, it's hard to get more people to recognize our actions. Let's take a look at what's on the news right now. Li Jie felt a little uncomfortable mentally when he said that.

"Tom is secretly dating his new girlfriend, Kardashian is pregnant, ah~ And Tony Stark invited Playboy's cover twins in August to the hotel!

"Haha~!" Peter burst out laughing. "Man, I thought it was a big deal! So you were jealous~. Ha ha. ”

"I didn't!" Li Jie retorted with a frown. "Don't lie buddy, you're just jealous!" Peter said after a moment of laughter.

"You're jealous that you've done so much and not getting more attention!" said Peter, in a tone of a passer-by. "I know that feeling. ”

"I have two very good friends, one is smart, talented and well-off. The other is affable, good at cooking, and very handsome. Peter told Li Jie, who was dressed as a Nightcrawler, a story about his heart.

"The three of us are good friends, but I'm always the one I'm overlooked when I'm with them. Peter said in a relaxed tone.

"I studied hard and wanted to show myself more in front of my classmates and friends, but they always stole the limelight. Peter continued. "I'm the best student in the school, and I'm trying my best to express myself, but why haven't I been able to get more attention?"

"Wealthy friends will become the focus of others as soon as they appear, and many people rush to slap him. And friends who can cook will be worshiped as heroes by a group of girls just because they have some conflicts with the bullies of the basketball team. I was very, very jealous of them!"

Li Jie never knew that Peter had such thoughts in his heart. But then I slowly understood that they are not being noticed by them. Peter said slowly.

"It's that people naturally like to look at people who are different, like movie stars or super-tycoons. "Peter is now like a mentor to Rich.

"Just like what we do, we don't get attention because people themselves are more interested in caring about people they can't be in this life, or things they can never do. ”

"My uncle once said to me that we don't want to get much appreciation for helping others. It's because we have the ability to help someone else, and that person happens to need help. Peter continued to infuse Li Jie with chicken soup for the soul.

"Remember the donation we made to the child with leukemia that day? That child was only eight years old, wasn't what we were doing to help him? If there was no news about what we were doing, would we watch an eight-year-old die in a hospital bed because of lack of money for surgery?" Peter was always a big boy with justice in his heart and sunshine in his heart.

In his eyes, it is more important to help others than to be praised by others. Li Jie, as a person whose age is actually at the level of an uncle in his heart, actually cares more about the results and the sense of identity of others.

But Peter's sincerity touched him a little, and he felt much better. You may be jealous of those people in your heart, or perhaps, as Peter said, helping others simply because you have the ability to help those in need.

And being a hero is only because you have the ability to become a hero. Sometimes people have to learn to enjoy the process more than just the result.

"Do you want a race?" Peter suddenly suggested. "Then do you dare not use spider silk?" Li Jie asked with a smile.

"Spider silk is a part of Spider-Man~ Man, are you scared, I'm afraid that you won't be able to beat me Spider-Man now!" Peter saw that Li Jie was a little weak.

Now Peter, who has spider silk and can swing around the city, Li Jie is really not as fast as him. But the loser doesn't lose the battle, Li Jie still spoke. "Ha~ Then let's try it!"

After saying a brisk walk, take the lead. "The one who arrives at the base first is the winner! The loser will be invited to eat tomorrow's supper!"
