Chapter 35: The Fledgling Hero (Part II)
“…… I guess I have to explain that while you did consume a lot of the stored food, it wasn't that serious, and I didn't rewrite the employee benefits system because you caused me any trouble......"
Pepper's voice was clear on the other end of the phone, she said: "I know that Stark will definitely go there to find you after he leaves the mansion, and he may complain to you, saying that it is your reason why I quarreled with him, but in fact it is not, you don't have to feel guilty and worried about it, this matter has nothing to do with you, I just want to explain......"
Pepper's emotional intelligence is very high, and she wants to give Schiller a preventive shot in advance, because if Stark really goes to Schiller's and the two of them chat, Stark will definitely complain that Pepper quarreled with him, and if you ask about the reason for the quarrel, Stark, a straight man of steel, will not think about why Pepper has a cold war with him, but will just blame all this on Schiller Schiller and making Stark's employees have nothing to eat.
But in fact, the conflict between Pepper and Stark began when he returned from Afghanistan, and that incident was just a fuse, although Pepper was angry with Stark, she also knew that Stark's friends should not be blamed for this, so she called to explain.
Schiller said: "Of course I know that it is a small thing, and the real reason is not here, but Stark has always been confused about these problems, aren't you going to explain it to him?" ”
Pepper looked a little anxious, she said: "Stark is such a person, I know him very well, when he has a problem and wants to confide in you, you must be there in time and listen carefully, but when you want to talk to him about something, he can run away if he wants to, and he won't listen if he wants to." ”
"Covering your ears is something that children love to do." Schiller said, "But he is already an adult, and he must not wait until he is old and has not grown up." ”
Schiller, who apparently knows the art of speaking, said, "I can give you a brief counseling session right now, and when Stark comes, he'll have a side deal." ”
Originally, Pepper didn't have the spirit to counsel, but when Schiller said this, it was difficult for her to refuse, after all, few people would put her in a dominant position, after all, this is the Stark Group, and everyone will only think of Stark first.
So she said, "Okay, but I think he's probably coming." ”
"Then I'll cut a long story short, Miss Pepper, sometimes it may take a little trick to make a person realize your importance."
"For example?"
"Is Jarvis there?" Schiller asked suddenly.
A clear voice came from the phone, and he said, "Of course I'm here, Mr. Schiller, is there anything wrong with you?" ”
"Okay, listen, Jarvis, now Miss Pepper, I might need your help."
"I'm happy to oblige." Jarvis said.
“…… You mean to make me pretend to be missing? But this is too unreasonable, this is Stark Tower, and how can Jarvis disobey Stark's orders? ”
"Of course he can." Schiller said. "Jarvis, remember those questions I asked you?"
Jarvis was eerily silent, and Schiller said to himself: "I know that Stark has made an upgrade for you, and this upgrade has opened the door to a new world for you, you may have already figured out the answer, but whether to do it or not is your own problem." ”
Pepper was a little confused, and she said, "What's the problem?" What happened to Jarvis? ”
Jarvis was silent for a moment, then said, "All my processors are telling me that there is no point in doing this,"
"Human beings just like to use such meaningless things to add trouble to themselves, maybe the same is true of electronic life, right?"
Jarvis remained silent, and then Pepper watched as the lights dimmed across the floor, and a glowing arrow guided her to the storage room across the office.
Then, Stark rushed in in a panic, and when Pepper was hugged by Stark, she saw the computer screen on the opposite side suddenly light up, and a smiling face composed of symbols flashed.
Pepper suddenly felt a little complicated, she should have been happy, but now she couldn't cry or laugh.
Stark was a little better, she thought, but alas, his progress wasn't even as fast as a robot.
Stark didn't care what Pepper thought, he let go of Pepper, and he was a little at a loss, and all the words he wanted to say were blocked in his throat.
Pepper looked at him and said, "I don't know what you've been doing in the last few days with your frequent access to the weapons department, but I must remind you that you can give up anything if you want, including the entire Stark Group, and I don't have to work here to get the salary I want." ”
"But you'd better know that the vast majority of the consequences of your actions will be borne by yourself, the fall of such a behemoth, there will be countless jackals to divide its corpse, and if you do, you will at least be bitten a few bites......"
With that, Pepper turned to leave, and Jarvis said, "I'm sorry, but based on my processor calculations, maybe Miss Pepper makes sense, and of course, it's all up to you......"
Stark took a few steps back, sat down in his chair, and said, "No, I know, you're right, maybe I should really think about it......"
Stark scratched his ears and cheeks, Schiller was also jumping on his side, Pikachu held a pipe like Sherlock Holmes, took two puffs of smoke, and then smacked his lips and said: "I think this problem, this solution is not good, you better try the last method, I said earlier, the previous method is effective......"
Peter propped his head on his hand and said, "No, no, no, our current thinking is right, we are only short of some calculations, why don't you understand?" ”
Steve also crossed his arms beside him, frowned, and said, "You just have a problem with the calculation, otherwise we would have solved this problem a long time ago." ”
"But it has nothing to do with functions at all, damn it, what about my calculator? I remember I had a math calculator to ......"
That's right, Peter was writing his winter vacation homework.
In fact, high schools in New York don't leave vacation homework at all, and only some practical homework for daily life, but Peter interned in Stark's group, Stark saw that he had a lot of potential, and directly threw him into a popular project team.
It's true that Peter is a genius, but you can't let him skip high school physics, college physics, and graduate physics, and work directly with a group of PhDs, or a group of industry bigwigs, these days he is almost overwhelmed by materials and topics, and the person in charge of the project team has left him with a lot of problems that are not at all solvable at this age.
But Peter also drilled the tip of the bull's horn and must solve it for him, plus Pikachu, who claims to be a high-IQ detective, and Steve, who has never studied physics and mathematics seriously but still wants to make his brain work for many years, the three of them almost quarreled.
If you want to say that they don't know at all, they just follow the mess, then forget it, but Pikachu and Steve also have genius brains, and after following Peter to read the information for a few days, they can actually solve it well.
When the three and a half bottles of water came together, Schiller's psychological clinic never stopped.
Just as Schiller was pouring himself a glass of wine while reading a book, the symbiote suddenly said in his head: "The number is minus 26, the number is minus 26, the number is minus 26......"
Schiller was a little confused by his rereading, and he unconsciously said, "The number is minus 26?" ”
The three of them suddenly fell silent and turned their heads to look at him together.
Schiller said, "What do you want me to do? ”
"Score minus 26? Is it a negative number? Wrong...... Oh! Yes, it should be a negative number......"
After another calculation, Peter said, "The number is minus 26...... The score is really minus 26! He stared at Schiller with wide eyes and said, "I thought you were just a doctor of philosophy, but I didn't expect to know mathematics!" ”
The symbiote said in Schiller's mind: "I'm awesome, I'm awesome, I'm awesome......"
Schiller rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Whether I know mathematics and physics, I only know that tomorrow at 9 o'clock in the morning, your team leader will look at the results of your first three pages, and you have only done two problems now......"
Peter let out a wail, clutched the thick stack of materials, and went on to study it.
Schiller spoke to the symbiote in his mind and said, "Okay, okay, I know you're great, but why do you keep repeating your words so many times?" ”
The symbiote sent another barrage of brainwaves that Schiller didn't understand.
Schiller also discovered that this symbiote of his was very special, in addition to his strong ability to learn, his mentality was also ridiculously good, he only had two states a day, happy and very happy.
If there is alcohol, it is an explosion of joy.
Schiller felt that he was not a very optimistic person, didn't he say that symbiotes would have a personality very similar to the host? Why is this symbiote in his body so happy?
And this symbiote doesn't know if he has watched too many movies with Pikachu, and he seems to firmly believe that the world in which Schiller lives will be like in the movie, depending on the plot, changing different background music.
So now Schiller 24 hours comes with a BGM player in the brain.
As soon as it rains, the symbiote will give him a single cycle of various blues, and when the sky is clear, it will be a variety of cheerful minories and waltzes.
Everyone appears in front of Schiller, and he will think of different background music in his mind, as soon as Steve appears, the background music is "The Star-Spangled Banner Never Falls", and as soon as Peter appears, he is accompanied by the background music of various bloody fighting games, or the ghost horse boy.
And Pikachu, since he always calls himself a detective, as soon as he appears, the symbiote is in Schiller's head, playing various soundtracks from the Sherlock Holmes TV series.
This also has the advantage that it is very convenient for Schiller to get into the state quickly when he is counseling them.
However, Schiller still took a lot of effort to explain to the symbiote that the real world is different from the movie and does not need a variety of soundtracks, and Schiller told the symbiote that no matter how loud the noise he made, only Schiller could hear it.
The symbiote's answer was chirping, and Schiller didn't know if he understood it or not.
And the next morning, while Schiller was cooking breakfast in the kitchen, Matt had just entered the door, and the old-fashioned record player on the bar suddenly made a little sizzling sound, and then a Queen song was played at the highest volume, and Matt was almost stunned.
Schiller rushed out, and Matt, Schiller, and Peter, who were sitting at the table, stared at the old-fashioned record player that they were suddenly playing.
