Chapter 45: Agent Coulson III
Li Yunlong: "A small red bottle costs $100,000. Buy 50 at once and get a free suitcase. "A suitcase is only a few dollars, so it's a small favor.
Coulson: "Bank transfer or cash?"
Li Yunlong smiled and handed over a small note, on which was his bank account number, "It's okay, see how you can pay conveniently." ”
Coulson took the note and looked at it, this number he remembered was Li Yunlong's bank account number, and immediately took out his mobile phone to operate, and with the authority in his hand, he could temporarily transfer five million US dollars to the account immediately, and then make a report, and with the magical effect of the little red bottle, he would definitely be able to approve it.
It didn't take long for Li Yunlong's mobile phone to receive a notice from the bank, and Li Yunlong confirmed it and smiled, "It's really a pleasure to do business with a customer like Agent Coulson! Li Yunlong pointed to the suitcase with his hand, and the number of small red bottles became fifty again.
Coulson stood up and shook hands with Li Yunlong, "Happy cooperation. ”
Li Yunlong: "Happy cooperation. The business was done, and the two immediately got along a lot. Coulson found a reason and hurriedly said goodbye and left, Li Yunlong didn't stay long, warmly sent him away, returned to the house alone, sat on a chair, recalled the process of communication, and confirmed that there was nothing wrong. There is no way, without the support of its own intelligence network, it can neither deal with emergencies in a timely manner, nor predict the dangers that may arise, so you can only be as careful as possible. It's not that Li Yunlong doesn't want to build his own intelligence network, but it's a pity that the thing of engaging in intelligence is too much of a burning of computing resources, and Li Yunlong's existing computing resources are too limited, and his research is not enough, so he has to use them in other places to instigate as much as possible, and he can't even do it if he wants to arrange a surveillance network in the Burbank area, and Li Yunlong is very helpless! Anyway, there is Li Yunlong's hut -- Mr. Ghost's haunted house! It is placed there as a target for people to attract attention! Don't worry about the security of the ontology in a short time, just put the construction of the intelligence network on hold for a while, and when my research results come out, I will raise my own strength, and then whatever I want to do will be smooth!
Coulson drove all the way back to the S.H.I.E.L.D. branch in Los Angeles, because he had already been contacted on the way, so the staff was ready to wait for him, someone took the box containing the little red bottle, and Coulson himself conducted a comprehensive physical examination, and after half an hour, all the examinations were over, and as expected, he came to the conclusion that there were no problems at all. Back in his makeshift office, Coulson turned on the communication device and made a video call with Director Nick, "Hello sir. ”
Director Nick: "Well done, Coulson. The little red bottle will soon be delivered to headquarters, and the experts can't wait to study the secrets. What do you think of Brooke Lee as a person through this contact?"
Coulson: "He's calm on the surface. ”
Director Nick: "On the surface?"
Coulson: "Yes. I talked, communicated, laughed with him, we had direct physical contact, shook hands more than once, and Brooke Lee gave me the feeling of not a living person, but a puppet who was very much like a living person!"
Director Nick: "Judging by how you feel, he's a puppet who is very much like a living person. ”
Coulson: "I make this judgment primarily through experience and intuition. If it were just my body's senses, then I would only be able to assume that Brooke Lee who appeared in front of me was him. The device I'm wearing has sent the data back, do the experts have any opinions?"
Director Nick: "They can't explain how the suitcase came to be, or explain the magic of the little red bottle. As for the rest, they don't have any problems at all, so leave them alone. Did you feel anything special about entering the haunted house?"
Coulson: "Not at all! It's like entering a normal person's house. My body told me that everything I came into contact with was real, but my intellect told me that everything I came into contact with was just an illusion, and I had also gone down specifically to touch the dirt at the bottom of the pit, and I was sure that it was not an illusion. So I can't understand what happened to me during the night!"
Director Nick: "In the current situation, I need you to keep in touch with Brooke Lee. Take a break and I'll have someone revise the agreement and ask an economic expert to design a business process to see how many surprises we can get out of him. ”
Coulson: "Yes, sir. "But no new orders were received that night. On the evening of December 12, 2000, Coulson came to Li Yunlong again with a newly released agreement and a bulging wallet. Li Yunlong warmly entertained Coulson, but he didn't even look at the new agreement, "I won't look at this kind of thing, Agent Coulson." I've lost trust in that S.H.I.E.L.D. of yours. We're friends now, but I don't want to be friends with S.H.I.E.L.D. behind you. "It's a stupid way for otaku to deal with problems, you can deceive me once, but after that, you're going to lose my trust in you.
Trust this thing, say cheap is cheap, say expensive is really expensive, it mainly depends on how you use it. In Coulson's opinion, Li Yunlong is not going to sign the agreement, so put the agreement aside first, Coulson put forward a request to buy the little red bottle again, but Li Yunlong refused.
Li Yunlong: "Agent Coulson, I am not a large-scale production factory here, just a small private workshop, and the production capacity is limited, so I will only sell you 50 small red bottles every month, and you can come to me with money on the first day of every month." ”
This is not good news for Coulson, because there is plenty of time, and the experts at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters have analyzed the little red bottle in detail, its packaging is not a big deal, and the experts can easily synthesize their own products. The medicine put in it made the experts scratch their heads, and the experts analyzed the medicine in detail, although there are still many places where the principle of action is not clear, but imitation at any cost in the laboratory is not a problem, it stands to reason that the little red bottle sold by Li Yunlong should have the same effect as the imitation drug in the laboratory, but the imitation drug in the laboratory has no effect on treating wounds at all, but has become a powerful stimulant, almost did not turn the testers into madmen! In the end, experts had to blame this discrepancy on the influence of mysterious powers, believing that the little red bottles sold by Li Yunlong contained some kind of mysterious power that scientists could not detect in the laboratory, and it was this power that produced such a miraculous effect.
In fact, the little red bottle sold by Li Yunlong was a by-product of research. The Hulk is indeed very special, if it is completely imitated according to the template of the Hulk, then even if only a complete Hulk cell is made, this cell will desperately resist Li Yunlong's control. Li Yunlong had no choice but to analyze the particularity of the Hulk against himself and try to use his own methods to achieve a similar effect. In the process of research, there were many unexpected by-products, and the little red bottle was a by-product of the study of the human body's ultra-rapid self-healing ability. The reason why it will be sold to S.H.I.E.L.D. is mainly because this little red bottle has an implicit side effect, and using it is easy to make users angry, Li Yunlong still can't figure out why the use of the little red bottle will have such an impact on people's personalities, so he doesn't dare to use it on himself, but there is no problem at all when he uses it on S.H.I.E.L.D. It is impossible for S.H.I.E.L.D. to buy the little red bottle back and press the warehouse, giving this thing to his subordinates is equivalent to doing human experiments for Li Yunlong for free, and it doesn't take too much, only need to have ten or eight members of the S.H.I.E.L.D. branch in Los Angeles to use it, and the data provided is estimated to help Li Yunlong improve the little red bottle, which is really happy to think about!
Coulson planned to continue trading magical items other than the Little Red Bottle with Li Yunlong, but was rejected by Li Yunlong on the grounds that the two had just started trading and needed to cultivate trust. According to Li Yunlong's explanation of Coulson, this kind of thing is similar to the purchase level in the game, your level is not enough, even if you have money, I will not sell you good things here! In the face of Li Yunlong's strange rules, Coulson had no choice but to retreat.
Because it was approaching the end of the year, Coulson ran more diligently, although Li Yunlong did not let go, Coulson still ran to Li Yunlong every once in a while. However, Coulson himself is also a busy man with a lot of work to deal with, and after January 2001, he did not run so diligently, and in February he only came once on February 1. This once-a-month trade continued until June 2001, when Li Yunlong showed Coulson a second item that could be sold to him, the "One-Time Team Contract"
Coulson carefully looked at the contract in his hand, and there was already opposition within S.H.I.E.L.D. on whether it was necessary to continue to buy Li Yunlong's products, after all, spending $5 million a month, even if S.H.I.E.L.D. had a big business, it couldn't be considered a small amount of money. Although the effect of the little red bottle purchased is magical, but you can't eat the technology in it thoroughly, and turn it into your own things, it means that it can't be mass-produced, and if you can't mass-produce it, you can't mix it on a large scale, and the plate is always too small, and everyone can't be satisfied with the distribution of benefits, which is why Coulson ran very hard at the beginning, and then only came once a month.
The contract has actually been there for a long time, and Li Yunlong has recently upgraded the technology of this thing because he has grown his skills, and he wants to sell it to S.H.I.E.L.D. to spend some money, "Agent Coulson, although this contract in your hand is a one-time one, it is a genuine magic contract." It is easy to use, easy to operate, especially suitable for people like you who are engaged in special work, a contract is only sold for 1 million US dollars, it is ridiculously cheap, in order to protect my interests, I can only sell you five such contracts every month!"
Coulson doesn't see it that way, Li Yunlong is very disciplined in some aspects, for example, when it comes to the money paid to Li Yunlong by S.H.I.E.L.D., Li Yunlong actually took part of the lawyer's fees, and then let the lawyer handle the relevant tax issues, which is simply a law-abiding and good citizen! But at the same time, Li Yunlong used a false identity to harass the police station and retaliate against 'people', treating the law and discipline as nothing. The experts of S.H.I.E.L.D. also noticed this contradiction when they carried out psychological profiles, and they failed to give a positive answer, but only made several guesses, one of which was that Li Yunlong was lawless at all, and the reason why he would obey some laws and not cause trouble was not because he had law and discipline in his heart, but because he had fear in his heart, and he should always be afraid of something! If this speculation is true, it is good news for S.H.I.E.L.D., which means that there is a way to control Li Yunlong, but what exactly Li Yunlong is afraid of Experts have not yet come up with an answer.
