Chapter 81: Cocktails

Follow in Edward's footsteps and walk into the small building. In the eyes, the two of them are more sure that the young people they will face next will be very difficult.

Simple furnishings, no extravagant furniture, no high-profile style, except for a private bar not far away, everything else looks very ordinary, just like ordinary people's homes.

"Mr. Parker, to be honest, we were amazed by what we saw here." With a sweep of his eyes, the layout of the room fell into his eyes, and Coulson said with a wry smile to the young man in front of him.

"Really? Young and rich, talented and famous, but not chasing enjoyment, isn't it very unusual. Tilting his head sideways, looking at Agent Coulson, who was very fond of him, Edward said jokingly.

"Hehe, that's not what we meant." Coulson is worthy of a good temper, and he didn't care at all about Edward's ridicule, and the wry smile on his face did not decrease.

"In fact, we were amazed by Mr. Edward's talent. And I admire Mr. Edward's selflessness very much. It's just that the next step may not be good. You have to know that a young man who is indifferent to fame and fortune and doesn't enjoy it much is not easy to fool no matter how you look at it, is it? With a wry smile, it was rare that Coulson also made a joke.

"Haha, what a humorous sir. I already like you a little bit. Edward smiled happily. For Coulson, there is more affection in his heart, no matter what, the gentle middle-aged man in front of him has a different kind of charm.

"What do you want to drink?" Edward took off his coat, threw it on the couch casually, and walked to the bar not far away, which was filled with all kinds of fine wines. It doesn't matter if it's expensive or cheap, as long as it's distinctive.

"Whatever, if there's a drink, that's even better." Coulson shrugged, and his eyes followed Edward to a bar not far away, where there were all kinds of liquor, which Coulson didn't understand. However, the wine bottles were very eye-catching, and Coulson couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Under the soft light, every mellow liquid is dressed in a dress, glass bottles, crystal bottles, ceramic bottles, jade bottles, each bottle is like a work of art, under the light, it is like a dreamy glass.

"Sorry, I don't have a drink here." Edward casually remarked.

Hearing this, the expression on Coulson's face became even more bitter. Naturally, not because there were no drinks, but from the very beginning, neither of them seized the initiative in the conversation.

"Director Nick, what are you asking for?" At this time, Edward's eyes were on Nick Fury. This director of S.H.I.E.L.D. has not spoken since he entered the house.

Professional things should be done by professional people. This is something that every leader has to learn. In Nick's opinion, it is much more appropriate for the more amiable Coulson to do this kind of thing when dealing with people than he does.

"Thank you, I want a glass of white ......" Nick, whose expression was slightly softer, just opened his mouth to speak. was directly interrupted.

"How about a cocktail? The cocktail I made tasted good! With a thought to himself, Edward stepped into the bar, his eyes swept over the light, all kinds of wines, and his eyes were warm.

The corners of Nick's mouth twitched, and the mouth that had just opened didn't even close. The expressionless face is even more stiff.

"Looking at these strange liquids, unique colors, strange textures, every time I taste it, I feel that I am in the collision of time, and I can even see the story behind each wine through the long river of time. People can't help but be intoxicated and don't want to wake up. ”

"Wine is the precipitation of time."

The voice of intoxication and joy slowly flowed from Edward's mouth, with an indescribable charm, and the ethereal, low voice, as if washed by the long river of time, made people can't help but have a mottled sense of light and shadow in their hearts.

"And the cocktail is the blending of time and the collision of stories."

"Smack!"

There was a soft thud.

A subtle electric current began to jump, and ten blue ribbons suddenly extended from Edward's ten fingers, fluttering in the light.

The glowing blue ribbon of light fluttered and transformed, and the soft ribbon flew up and down, enveloping the entire bar. Like a dream, the vivid light and shadow colors seem to have some kind of huge attraction, entwining everyone's mind and will, pulling you into this dreamy world.

The two people on the opposite side were not in the mood to enjoy the rare visual feast at all. The eyes of the two of them were staring at the end of the ribbon, and there was shock and solemnity in their eyes.

The silvery-white metal vessel pulsed happily, and each leap swallowed a small stream of fragrant liquor. At this time, ten blue ribbons seem to be ten sensitive arms.

Shake, pour, shake. Every time it is so harmonious, and the movements are so natural.

Syllable!

With a crisp sound, two black crystal cups fell lightly on the table of the two. Then, with a dreamlike aroma, two streams of wine fall from the sky and fall directly into the glass.

Burst!

The wine spilled, and in the eyes of the two, drops of mellow wine collided with the black glass wall, scattering a subtle wine mist. A blue electric current in the center of the liquor, like a giant python, is turning over the river and the sea.

Brilliant starry sky!

The diffuse wine mist, the black crystal glass, and the shining electric light are entangled with each other, and a layer of misty starry sky looms in the sky above the glass.

Mysterious, long-term.

"Please taste, starry night."

Gracefully bowed, with a gentlemanly charming smile on his face, and said softly.

"Cool abilities, terrible control, genius imagination, beyond imagination." With only one remaining eye, staring at the crystal cup in front of him, looking at the fading starry sky, Nick took a deep breath, looked up at Edward, and said solemnly.

"Edward Parker, tell me your purpose." Nick was not silent, and asked what he wanted to know simply and directly.

Nick could feel the young man in front of him, and he was no stranger to them. So instead of tempting, he chose a more direct and simple, but effective way.

This is not a negotiation, and there is no upper hand, no downwind, and Nick is confident that the confidence behind him is enough to make him face everything.

Nick's stiff tone, Edward didn't care. With a chuckle, he turned his fingers, and the blue ribbon in the air changed leisurely.

Like a brush in the painter's hand, it outlines the world that belongs to the painter's heart in the void.

"People are hungry for power, and they are afraid of it."

"But in my opinion, strength is an extension of a limb that can make my life better, make my life easier and more interesting."

As he spoke, the blue ribbon in the air floated, and he grabbed a soup spoon, which turned into a table knife at one time, a fork at one time, and a spoon again at another time in the blue glow.

"But it's more than that."

"The power I define is the interference of life's own will in the outside world."

"For example, human beings, human consciousness changes, produces nerve signals, transmits to the corresponding musculoskeletal to achieve walking, waving, running and other actions, which is a change in oneself and an impact on the outside world."

"We all know that this is an inefficient and inefficient way of doing work, mechanical work."

Speaking of this, Edward's face showed a look of exclamation, and his tone also contained a little incredulity.

"However, it is this inefficient way of doing work that gave birth to human civilization, this rigorous and prosperous civilization, which is so incredible."

"As a member of civilization, a participant in human civilization, a successor. I'm proud. ”

As a member of human civilization, Edward was proud of himself. Although she has not entered the interstellar age in the sci-fi world, she has not even really gone out on her own planet. But the pride in Edward's heart will not change.

Because she was the one who conceived him.

Seeing the pride on the young faces, like the newborn morning sun, brilliant and dazzling, the two of them lost their minds for a moment.

"If we give humanity a new, more efficient way of doing work, what kind of changes will our civilization make? Without the need for a microscope, we can see our cells; Without the need for other instruments, we can manufacture a variety of higher precision parts; The nature of materials will no longer be a constraint of civilization, because we can easily find all kinds of suitable materials, and we need to pay only one thought......"

What will such a change bring to our civilization? I'm looking forward to it. ”
