Chapter 188: The Big Sale
Belle stretched her hand and tapped Natasha's shoulder.
An obscure energy instantly traveled through the whole body, not crisp, not numb, not painful, more like a nerve block.
Natasha tried to lift her legs, but found that her body was sluggish, and her hands and feet were stiff like an old man.
She wasn't worried that Bella was bad for her, the relationship between the two was actually more than most sisters in the United States, but she didn't understand what her body was doing now.
"What did you do to my body?"
There was also some ambiguity in the words, and Bella coughed.
Unlike the game's fire, frost mages, the spells she develops are now more and more occult.
The spell now used on Natasha is a second-level spell, which she named Energy Suppression.
The principle of sorcery is to suppress or reduce the target's physical fitness and abilities through one's own psionic energy, which has many advantages, but the disadvantage is that physical contact must be carried out.
If the willpower is better than her mind suppression, or if the person is much stronger than her, he will be immune to this spell.
Now Natasha's willpower is far from being able to resist her mental suppression, so she will feel heavy and weak in her hands and feet.
"It's not your physical problem, if you go for a check-up now, you're still healthy, it's your ...... Your willpower is not strong enough, and you still doubt your abilities, come on, my good sister. ”
Seeing Bella sitting cross-legged on the side, closing her eyes and recuperating, Natasha was very upset, what kind of strange trick is this? Can't you catch it yourself?
The feeling of extreme weakness in her body annoyed her.
She gritted her teeth and walked forward, but her steps were so heavy that after only a few steps, the sweat on her forehead began to run down her cheeks.
Bella closed her eyes on the side, and actually observed the state of her cheap sister.
According to her calculations, Captain America and the future Black Widow will be able to resist this spell with her own willpower.
Level 2 spells are still too low in the overall spell list.
The spell is not the kind of internal skill where two people face each other with their palms facing each other, squatting on horses, and watching who pushes whom out! There is no need to compete with internal force, no need to continuously fight with energy, use one move, and punch a certain amount of spiritual power into the opponent's spiritual world, and this is the end of the matter, it is a hammer deal.
The other party can use their own willpower to consume this part of the spiritual power, grinding a little less, their own willpower is endless, and the spiritual power in the other party's spiritual world is rootless water, theoretically speaking, all intelligent beings can get rid of the influence of this spell.
The difference is in the length of time.
If you are determined, you will go directly in a trance, and it will pass.
If the will is weak, like a serious illness, lying in bed for ten days and half a month, it can also recover.
This has nothing to do with good and evil, good people may not be strong-willed, and bad people may not be weak-willed.
When Natasha regained her mobility, Bella glanced at her watch: "Nine minutes and twelve seconds, about the same as I expected." ”
Natasha put her hands on her knees and gasped for air, obviously tired.
Her character is also extremely tenacious: "Someone else...... How much time did other people use? ”
Someone else? Bella thought for a moment and was a little embarrassed: "I haven't tried it on anyone else, so ......"
"You're using me as a test subject?" Natasha was so angry that her eyes straightened: "What a good sister for me!" One more time! ”
From nine and a half minutes to five minutes, to two minutes, to one minute, her progress is very obvious, but there is still a long way to go before she is completely immune.
The determination is great, but there are still too few things experienced, unless you collect positive emotions like Bella, you still need to temper it for a long time by relying on your own willpower.
......
The Boston signings had some ups and downs, but they were generally successful, and fame was often more useful than money, whether for Bella, the publisher, or Chanel.
Of course, it's not that money isn't important, it's important!
Bella please Nathan. Ingram went to ask the two old Jewish men, the Widmore brothers, how much would Chanel cost if it was packaged and sold?
With her easy-going personality, it's okay to be a small shareholder, but the old Jewish man is not one of those Swedish tech nerds, once Chanel gets a new life, the other party will kick her out of the game 12 percent, and then it will be disgusting.
The premise of taking over must be to take over the whole thing, and then we can talk about the restructuring, and when the time comes, whether to find a new designer or go public, we need to consider it holistically.
Nathan. Although Ingram is a new billionaire, he has always had a good relationship with the US Department of Defense, and although the two old Jewish men did not want to offend him, although they did not look down on this American nouveau riche, they finally made an offer of 480 million euros.
Bella was defeated directly, goodbye! Can't afford it!
480 million euros, even if she takes the money printing machine to print, she will have to work overtime to print for a while!
She won't use her spells to do bad things, that completely breaks her bottom line, with the existing rules of the game, she really may not be able to play two old Jewish men, most of the theories of modern economics are written by these Jews, and it is very difficult to swallow elephants.
Let's talk about it in two years! Wait for Chanel to decline a little more, and wait for a little more money in your hands.
The East Coast signing was a success, and when it came to the West Coast, the scene could be described as enthusiastic.
Charlie has been doing well during this time, and now he has been promoted from detective to sergeant.
The sheriff of the Los Angeles Police Department is completely different from the original sheriff of Fox Town, and he is already a small boss in the Los Angeles Police Department, which has more than 13,000 regular police officers.
His promotion is related to the connections of Bella and Natasha, and his friendship with the black president is the most important.
Several parties worked together, and one was not small, but it was not too big, and the sheriff said that he would be promoted, and no one would do it right at all, and he couldn't make a mistake.
His daughter came to Los Angeles to sign and sell books, and Charlie was very excited.
Eastern countries can use their parents' scientific research results to participate in the Grand Prix, and the West, which claims to be free, does not have to avoid suspicion, Charlie brought his colleagues from the police department to support and maintain order, who dares to make trouble? Shoot directly! The leaders of the clubs in the neighborhood came to buy books in person, and the atmosphere was not ordinarily good.
Walking around several major cities in the United States, more than 30,000 books have been signed and sold from Bella alone, and she can't sign any more...... This is what Natasha barely managed to hold on to by rubbing her wrists every day.
The first printing of the first million copies of The Hunger Games was also sold out during this time.
The price of a single copy is $29, which is the income of $29 million, and the publisher makes a profit of about eight million after deducting various costs and expenses, and Birla can also earn 2.9 million with 10% of the royalties, but there are still taxes to pay......
