Chapter 2986 Leisure Time (30)
Chapter 2960 Leisure Time (30)
Speaking of the New Xanadu Kingdom, the people of the two universes finally had some common topics to talk about. Tim and Jason were curious about what was going on with this country that did not exist in their universe, and Schiller and his friends obviously had some opinions about the current situation of this country, so the two sides started chatting.
In fact, since the establishment of this mutant country, the international sniping has never stopped. No matter what, a country composed of superpowered humans is a threat to other countries.
Other countries still have a process to develop nuclear bombs, and everyone still has some room for bargaining. If they make some moves and delay some time, they can be considered to have tried their best. But this mutant country is different. They have their own nuclear bombs, not just one or two, but almost all of them.
The two big nuclear bombs leading the way, one is strong and charming, and the other is cunning and smart. They are simply a perfect combination of leaders. More importantly, no country or organization in the world has the conditions to assassinate them.
Although they established their country earlier due to the change of history, it was also because of various international pressures that when it came to the node of developing the Andromeda Galaxy, things did not change. Magneto still led a group of people out as the pioneers of human interstellar exploration and pioneered in the Andromeda Galaxy.
If there is any change, it is probably that the wanderers who traveled far away finally have a home to return to. The old man who experienced two world wars is finally no longer driven from one land to another, but has a dual home for body and spirit.
But spiritual comfort can never be eaten. Whether it is the country on Earth or the base in the Andromeda Galaxy, the development is not very smooth. The fundamental reason is the problem of the mutant education system.
A country has no future without education. It stands to reason that they can start the construction of the education system if they have their own country, but the problem is that young mutants are too unstable. They need to spend almost all their youth to learn how to control their abilities.
This makes it impossible for them to study science, business management and other majors like ordinary people. Even with the blessing of the dream school, not everyone has a super brain. With a small population base, there is naturally not enough talent.
The biggest flaw of mutants lies here. Those with strong abilities may not have good brains, and those with good brains may have defects. Talented people have to spend time to master their abilities, and those without talent will not learn.
It is already difficult for the previous generation of mutants to deal with all kinds of open and secret attacks, let alone go further.
Harley must have analyzed this point, so she regarded this mutant country as her first foothold in this universe. The other party is in urgent need of talents, and she lacks angel investors. The two parties can be said to hit it off. Harley quickly demonstrated her value in business management with her smart little brain and won the trust of the mutants.
The cooperation between the two parties was quite pleasant. Schiller and Steve could feel from the recent news that the new Shangdu State had made some investment moves recently. In Schiller's opinion, the prospects of the investment projects they chose were not bad. It was obvious that they were not at the level of mutants. If Harley was the substitute, it would be reasonable.
However, it seemed that Harley had not yet revealed her trump card. Schiller believed that she could see that the future of mutants was actually in the Andromeda Galaxy, and these actions on Earth were just icing on the cake.
But Harley was not a mutant after all, and mutants could not accept her sincerely. It was not that simple to intervene in the affairs of the Andromeda Galaxy.
The existence of the mutant group made young people from other universes feel very curious, but this social problem could not be explained clearly for a while. Even if Schiller explained everything in detail, how much he could understand still depended on his personal understanding.
Tim's understanding was obviously the highest. He knew that if he wanted to invest in this universe, mutants would be the best choice, but the investment environment, that is, the situation of the universe and the situation of the three empires, still needed to be investigated.
Dick just thinks that the various abilities of mutants are very interesting, and he has no special opinions on other aspects. Jason thinks that mutants are too impatient now, and the internal atmosphere is not very good. If they can't adjust, they will make a big mess sooner or later.
Schiller actually agrees with Jason's view. Now mutants are immersed in an atmosphere of self-doubt. They can't understand why they have the right time, right place, and right people, and they are so much stronger than ordinary people, so why can't they develop well?
It's okay to say that they are isolated from the world and have no comparison objects, but since their founding, they have been squatting next to a behemoth, watching others from a state of disrepair to prosperity, and now when talking about heroes in the world, only you and Cao are the only ones.
As I said, all extreme ideas of human beings start from "Why?"
Over the years, they have also exchanged glances, such as the great power of nature suddenly causing several small islands to rise from the sea, and suddenly picking up several design drawings in the jungle of Hokkaido, and young mutants suddenly falling in love with foreign girls and getting married.
But the mutants themselves know that their behavior of being helpless is a kind of revolutionary friendship. A certain Eastern country is a country that can do anything when it is forced into a corner, but it cannot help mutants. Mutants really cannot do that.
Afghanistan may not be the real graveyard of empires. After all, you have never collected stamps from China, but mutants are the real quagmire of empires. China, the United States, the Soviet Union, and Russia, no one can do it.
Tim also felt a little sad when he heard what Schiller said. At this moment, he can always better understand the concept of water overflowing in Eastern culture. Mutants are very strong, but sometimes strength cannot solve the problem. , but also brings greater trouble.
The few of them chatted for a while, and when it was lunch time, they were almost finished and were ready to have a meal in the center of the resort.
The girls actually came out early. Pamela got a cabbage from the kitchen in the cafeteria. They ran to the gym on the second floor to test the cabbage's deadlift ability. From the window on the second floor, they saw other people walking into the event. building.
The relatively high-end restaurants were all on the third floor. The two parties agreed to meet on the third floor. When Schiller passed by the front desk of the restaurant, he picked up a menu. As expected, it was the kind of Japanese food that was expensive, unpalatable, and unauthentic. material.
Although the country is gone, there are still many Japanese abroad. However, many of these people have been away from home for many years and are not famous chefs themselves. The dishes they cook are not very good.
Otherwise, the people who advocate the continuation of Japanese culture the most are the Chinese. Without the country, the animation will be better, the Japanese food will be more delicious, and the Japanese will become easier to listen to.
This is the same as for artists. When they are alive, their works are not valuable, but after they die, they increase dramatically. Japanese culture is a precious heritage of the East Asian cultural circle, and the focus is heritage.
Schiller looked at the ridiculously expensive prices on the menu with some disgust and didn't want to eat. However, he felt that the ingredients they prepared last night were not enough for another meal, so he could only reluctantly order a little.
The result was as expected. The food was expensive but the portion was small. Piles of plates were piled up and taken away. After eating for more than an hour, no one was full.
After finishing the meal, the chef came out to thank the diners. To Schiller's surprise, he was indeed a pure Japanese. When he mentioned Japan, he burst into tears on the surface, but in fact, the word "joy" was almost written on his face.
Because the country is gone, there are not many people who can cook this kind of food. Now the price of Japanese food in the world is several times more expensive than in another universe. The chef's salary is probably about the same.
Schiller and the others forgot about it, but several young people were growing up and because they didn't have enough to eat, they went to the nearby supermarket to buy a lot of snacks, and returned to their residence in large and small bags.
As soon as she got back, Harley pulled Schiller and said mysteriously: "How do you sell super powers?"
"What?"
"I heard that you claim to do all kinds of business. Can you sell me your superpowers?"
"Aren't you learning magic?" Schiller asked. He had not forgotten that Harley had gone to Karma Taj Magic Academy to take classes before, so theoretically, she could use magic as long as she got some energy.
"Magic doesn't work." Harley shook her head and said, "That seems to be the path of Karma Taj. I want to be a superpower."
"Superpowers like mutants?"
"Almost."
Schiller thought for a while and said: "Actually, if you go to amputate a limb now, you can also say that you are a mutant. After all, many Ypsilon-class people are disabled."
"I told you I would spend money to buy it! Are you going to sell me this?"
"I think you can only afford this if you can afford it."
"Then you underestimate me too much. The money I have now is enough to buy this community."
Schiller was surprised and said, "Seriously, you don't know how expensive land is in Los Angeles, right?"
Harley sneered and said, "So you underestimate me."
"Where did you get so much money?" Schiller narrowed his eyes and stared at Harley. After a while, he said, "If Magneto knew that you were so ruthless, do you think he would let you go?"
"Professor
Schiller pursed his lips. It seemed that Professor
"Do you want superpowers to break into them?"
"It's the two of them who need to give the other mutants an explanation." Harley sighed and said, "My current identity is Professor X's estranged daughter and the sister of Daqun."
"They all speculated that my mutant ability is the same mind-reading ability as Professor
"So what you want is the X gene?"
"I don't want that unlucky thing. It's too unstable. What if I really lose arms and legs? I need more obvious superpowers so that no one will want to check me."
"So, someone is already trying to check you out."
"Because after all, I can't really read minds." Harley frowned, looked at Schiller dissatisfied and said, "Just like I know, in fact, you can't really read minds either. Someone can always tell."
Schiller touched his chin and said, "This is a bit difficult. What type of superpower do you want?"
"The more obvious and popular the better, it would be best to have another grand ceremony of losing control of my mutant abilities to let the whole world know that I am a mutant."
