"Billion! We need at least a billion dollars to complete this study. ”

Reed's mood was the same as a divine comedy in Shenzhou, he was very worried, he was very afraid that the gold lord in front of him would be scared away by this number. Ben was also very nervous, and he even thought that Reed should not directly shout out such a large number, he should apply for a smaller investment first, and then talk about follow-up investment after coming up with certain results, so that Reed's interests can be more protected.

Seeing that Sinan was a little hesitant after hearing this number, Reed was a little anxious. Hurriedly opened his mouth to explain why such a large sum of money was needed.

"Sir, I know it's a bit much, but it's a must. Our research had to be carried out in space, and we needed a shield that could block energy storms, and the space station with this technology was only available to Doom, and we had to find a way to lease it. And we need ...... later."

"Alright, Mr. Reed." Sinan stopped Reed's desire to continue, and threw out a question in Reed's somewhat disappointed expression, a question that had been asked at the beginning: "Mr. Reed, how can you guarantee that this research will not fail?" My billion dollars won't go down the drain? ”

Reed had no way to answer that question. In his own opinion, the study will definitely succeed and not fail. But this kind of words can only be believed by himself and Ben around him, and they can't impress the people in front of them at all. Reed was a little anxious, but he didn't know how to convince the financier, and he was silent for a while. Ben was a little anxious when he saw that Reed didn't speak, and tried to help Reed again.

"Sir, there is no investment in this world that can guarantee not to fail. Every investment has a certain amount of risk and the possibility of failure. All we can do is guarantee that Reed's research is very low-risk, almost impossible to fail, and the rate of return if it succeeds is simply incalculable. And this is not just a cause, it is also related to the future of all mankind, and we will be recorded in history. ”

Sinan just smiled when he heard Ben's words, and then said to Reed, who was looking at him expectantly: "Mr. Reed, I have such a proposal: If this research is not successful, then how about you work for me for ten years?" Don't worry, I'll give you the money and the venue. Of course, all your inventions and patents during this period belong to me. ”

Reed frowned when he heard Sinan's proposal, and lowered his head to ponder the gains and losses. After thinking about it for a while, Reed decided to take a gamble and decided to take a gamble. Ignoring Ben's obstruction, Reed responded with a resolute face: "That's it!" ”

It's still an 'honest man' like Reed who is immersed in research. Sinan, who was thinking in his heart, finally showed a satisfied smile: "I wish us a happy cooperation!" ”

Reed hesitated for a moment, but still shook Sinan's outstretched hand and shook it heavily: "Happy cooperation!" ”

Si Lan watched Si Nan fool this Dr. Reed in a few words, and understood Si Nan's thoughts in his heart. With this Dr. Reid, this investment doesn't matter. After sending Reed and Ben away, Si Lan tilted his head to look at Sinan, with a smile on his face: "I didn't expect you to really have a set, brother, according to the agreement between you and Dr. Reed, even if this investment is not successful, as long as there is Dr. Reed, you will have a chance to earn it back in the future." ”

Si Nan spread out his hands and behaved very innocently: "I just have such a little heart, and you have seen through it." But this time I won, right? ”

Si Lan and Si Nan both laughed for a while, and Si Lan was a little sad. After Sinan saw it, he took a sip of coffee and asked softly, "Are you worried about Reed's research?" Are you worried that after the life form of ordinary humans takes a step forward, the difference between them and mutants will become smaller, and even surpass mutants in terms of physical fitness? When will the mutants live in a worse environment? Afraid that Reed cracked the X gene and eliminated the X gene, so that humanity would never wake up to the X gene and become mutants again? Si Nan looked at Si Lan's eyes and said the question in Si Lan's heart.

"Hmm. I'm really scared, maybe Dr. Reed's research will be a good thing for humans and the planet in the future, but it's ...... for mutants now," Si Lan said that he couldn't go on, and his face was even more sad.

Sinan knew that the worry in Si Lan's heart was nothing more than the fear that human beings or those in power would take some bad measures against mutants. Thinking of this, Sinan knew that although his sister had been protected by him since she woke up, she was inevitably affected by living in this society, and there were many examples of X Academy in front of her, Si Lan had always been afraid of her identity being exposed, afraid of mutants going to war with humans, and afraid of the friends, teachers, and classmates she had now...... Everything, nothing.

Si Nan gently touched the top of Si Lan's head, stared at Si Lan's eyes tightly, and comforted Si Lan softly: "Little fool, what are you thinking." Rest assured, nothing will happen. Don't worry about mutants, mutants aren't that weak; Don't care about Reed's research, Reed can't touch it right now. Besides, isn't there still me? In front of your brother and me, those are not problems, but the problem now is ......" Speaking of this, Sinan Shen mysteriously kept silent.

"What is it?" After being comforted by Si Nan for a long time, Si Lan was already in a much better mood, this was because Si Nan had whetted his appetite, and he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"The question is when will you fulfill your promise, my collection room, my figurine, my Hui, my senior sister!" Sinan smiled evilly and ran out of the café. Si Lan, who raised his hand and wanted to hit Si Nan twice, looked at Si Nan's back, and also laughed "poof".

Sinan threw Si Lan to the café alone in this way, and returned home alone. It wasn't until night fell that Sinan appeared on the streets of New York in another identity.

"I've been traveling around the world lately since I learned the portal, and it's been a long time since I've patrolled the base camp, right? I thought that the evil of Apple City had rekindled again, but I didn't expect that the law and order are very good now, and the people are really simple! Si Nanfei flew in the sky above Apple City, aimlessly conducting security patrols, took a sip of strawberry milk in his hand, and let out such a sigh.

"I'll go! No way? Blinded, blinded...... "It turned out that Sinan, who was discovering sins everywhere, accidentally saw two sturdy beautiful men studying philosophy ♂ in the room, and suddenly felt that his eyes had been strongly impacted, and even his body flying in the air shook a few times.

Sinan, who was mentally polluted, decided to go down and buy a bottle of water to wash his eyes, so he staggered to a convenience store, forgetting that he was still dressed as a "poet".

Sinan, who hadn't flown to the door of the convenience store yet, saw two people scuffling together, and he didn't know what to do. But when Sinan was about to ignore it, he suddenly remembered that he was still a superhero, so he stepped forward to stop the two men who were fighting.

But at this moment, one of them took out a gun from his arms, and the two fought for it a few times. Sinan's eyes froze, he had already seen that the trigger was slowly pulled, and Sinan's distance was too far, it was too late!

With a "bang", both of them were motionless, and everything around them seemed to be still.

"Oh my God!" At this time, the clerk of the convenience store.

"Quick! Call an ambulance! At this time, passers-by watched.

Sinan slowly fell to the two of them, and at this time, both of them had already recovered from the gunfire just now, and got up to check whether they had been shot.

"How is that possible?" The older man found bullets on his body, but it was unbelievable that the bullets only pierced his clothes, and his body was not hurt in the slightest.

Do I have superpowers? This was the old man's first thought, and then he saw the "poet" next to him.

"It's you...... Saved me? The old man hesitated.

"There's nothing more exciting than being shot and coming out of harm's way. Isn't it? Sinan didn't answer directly, just said something that Churchill once said. Sinan looked at the two people in front of him, and finally looked at the big man with the gun.

"Anger causes others to suffer, but it is oneself that suffers the most." Sinan said as he tried to take the pistol from Dahan's hand. The man first instinctively withdrew his hand, but relaxed his body under Sinan's gaze and let Sinan take the pistol.

The police in New York reacted quickly and arrived at the scene quickly, Sinan didn't want to deal with the police, so he flew slowly into the air, and then flew away from the scene. Before leaving, he saw a young man appear next to the old man, and he vaguely heard a few words of conversation.

"Uncle Ben, are you alright? Oh, my God! You've been shot! Quick, let's go to the hospital! ”

"It's okay, Peter, I'm fine, I really ......"
