Chapter 35: The Young Hero (Part 2)

"... I think I have to explain that although you did consume a lot of stored food, this matter is not that serious. I rewrote the employee welfare system not because you caused me any trouble..."

Pepper's voice was very clear on the other end of the phone. She said: "I know that after Stark leaves the building, he will definitely go there to find you. He may complain to you and say that it was you who made me quarrel with him, but in fact it is not the case. 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 has a high EQ. She wants to give Schiller a shot in advance, because if Stark really went to Schiller and they chatted, Stark would definitely complain that Pepper quarreled with him. If asked about the reason for the quarrel, Stark, a straight man, would not think about why Pepper was in a cold war with him, but would just blame it all on Schiller. Schiller made Stark employees have no food to eat.

But in fact, the conflict between Pepper and Stark started when he came back from Afghanistan. That incident was just a fuse. Although Pepper was angry with Stark, she also knew that she shouldn't let Stark's friends feel guilty about it, so she called to explain.

Schiller said: "Of course I know, it's just a small matter, the real reason is not here, but Stark always can't figure out these problems, don't you plan to explain to him?"

Pepper seemed a little anxious, she said: "Stark is such a person, I know him very well, when he has a problem and wants to talk to you, you must be there in time and listen carefully, but when you want to talk to him about any problem, he will escape if he wants to escape, and won't listen if he doesn't want to listen."

"Covering your ears is what children like to do." Schiller said: "But he is already an adult, you can't wait until he is old and hasn't grown up yet."

Schiller obviously knows the art of speaking very well, he said: "I can give you a brief psychological consultation now, and when Stark comes over later, his share will be a supplement."

Originally, Pepper didn't have the energy to do psychological counseling, but when Schiller said that, 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 might be here soon."

"Let me make it short, Miss Pepper. Sometimes it may take a little trick to make someone realize your importance."

"For example?"

"Is Jarvis here?" Schiller asked suddenly.

A clear voice came from the phone, and he said, "Mr. Schiller, of course I'm here, what can I do for you?"

"Okay, listen, Jarvis, Miss Pepper may need your help now."

"I'm happy to help." Jarvis said.

"...You mean for me to 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, do you remember the questions I asked you?"

Jarvis was strangely silent, and Schiller said to himself: "I know Stark gave you an upgrade, and this upgrade opened the door to a new world for you. You may have thought of the answer, and whether to do it or not is your own problem."

Pepper was a little confused, she said: "What's the problem? What's wrong with Jarvis?"

Jarvis was silent for a while, then said: "All my processors are telling me that it's meaningless to do this,"

"Humans just like to use such meaningless things to add trouble to themselves, maybe electronic life is the same, right?"

Jarvis was still silent, and then Pepper watched the lights on the entire floor of the office dimmed, and a shining arrow guided her to the storage room opposite the office.

Then, Stark rushed in in a panic. When Pepper was hugged by Stark, she saw the computer screen opposite suddenly light up, and a smiley face composed of symbols flashed.

Pepper suddenly felt a little complicated. She should have been happy, but now she was a little amused.

She thought that Stark had made some progress, but unfortunately, his progress was not even as fast as a robot.

Stark didn't care what Pepper thought. After he let go of Pepper, he was a little at a loss. All the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.

Pepper looked at him and said, "I don't know what you are doing by frequently retrieving information from the weapons department in recent days, but I must remind you that if you want, you can certainly give up anything, including the entire Stark Group. I don't have to work here to get the salary I want."

"But you'd better know that most of the consequences of your doing this will be borne by you. When such a behemoth falls, countless jackals will come to divide its body. If you do this, you will at least be bitten a few times..."

After speaking, Pepper turned and left. Jarvis said, "I'm sorry, but according to my processor calculations, maybe what Miss Pepper said makes sense. Of course, all this is up to you to decide..."

Stark took a few steps back and sat on the chair. He said, "No, I know, you are all right. Maybe I should really think about this matter carefully..."

Stark scratched his head, and Schiller was also in a mess. Pikachu took a pipe like Sherlock Holmes, took two puffs of smoke, and then smacked his lips and said, "I think this solution will not work for this problem. You should try the previous method. I have said that the previous method is effective..."

Peter supported his head with his hands and said, "No, no, no, our current thinking is correct. We just lack some calculations. Why don't you understand?"

Steve also hugged his arms and frowned and said, "You just have a problem with the calculation, otherwise we would have solved this problem long ago."

"But this has nothing to do with functions. Damn it, where is my calculator? I remember I have a mathematical calculator..."

Yes, Peter is doing his winter vacation homework.

In fact, high schools in New York do not give homework during holidays. If they do, they only give some practical homework for daily life. But Peter was interning at Stark's group. Stark saw that he had great potential and threw him into a popular project team.

Peter is a genius, but you can't let him skip high school physics, college physics and graduate physics and directly work with a group of doctors, or a group of industry leaders. These days, he has been almost overwhelmed by materials and questions. The head of the project team gave him a lot of questions that he couldn't solve at his age.

But Peter was still obsessed with solving them. In addition, Pikachu, who claimed to be a high-IQ detective, and Steve, who had never studied physics and mathematics seriously but still wanted to use his brain that had not been used for many years, almost quarreled with the sky.

If you say that they don't know anything and just follow the chaos, that's fine, but Pikachu and Steve also have genius brains. After following Peter to read the materials for a few days, they can solve them in a decent way.

When the three and a half bottles of water meet, Schiller's psychological clinic has never been quiet.

Just as Schiller was reading a book and pouring himself a glass of wine, the symbiote suddenly said in his mind: "The result is negative 26, the result is negative 26, the result is negative 26..."

Schiller was confused by his repetition, and he said unconsciously: "The result is negative 26?"

The three of them suddenly became quiet and turned to look at him together.

Schiller said, "Why are you looking at me?"

"The answer is negative 26? A negative number? No... Oh! Yes, it should be a negative number..."

The three of them calculated again, and Peter said, "The answer is negative 26... The answer is really negative 26!" He looked at Schiller with wide eyes and said, "I thought you were just a doctor of philosophy, but I didn't expect you could do math!"

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 math and physics or not, I only know that at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, your team leader will look at your results on the first three pages, and you have only done two questions now..."

Peter wailed, hugged the thick stack of information, and continued to study.

Schiller talked to the symbiote in his mind and said, "Okay, okay, I know you are awesome, but why do you always repeat yourself many times?"

The symbiote sent a series of brain waves that Schiller couldn't understand.

Schiller also discovered that his symbiote was very special. In addition to his strong learning ability, his mentality was also ridiculously good. He only had two states a day: happy and very happy.

If he had wine to drink, he would be extremely happy.

Schiller felt that he was not a very optimistic person. Didn't they say that the personality of the symbiote would be very similar to that of the host? Why was the symbiote in his body so cheerful?

And it was unknown whether the symbiote had watched too many movies with Pikachu. He seemed to firmly believe that the world Schiller lived in would be like in the movie, with different background music changing according to different plots.

So now Schiller has his own BGM player in his brain 24 hours a day.

When it rains, the symbiote will play him a variety of blues on a single loop, and when it is sunny, it will be various cheerful minor tunes and waltzes.

Every time Schiller appears in front of him, he will think of different background music in his mind. When Steve appears, the background music is "The Star-Spangled Banner", and when Peter appears, he is accompanied by the background music of various hot-blooded fighting games, or the ghost boy.

As for Pikachu, since he always calls himself a detective, as soon as he appears, the symbiote plays various soundtracks from the Sherlock Holmes TV series in Schiller's mind.

This also has an advantage, that is, it is very convenient for Schiller to quickly get into the state when giving them psychological counseling.

However, Schiller still took a lot of effort to explain to the symbiote that the real world is different from movies and does not need various soundtracks. Schiller also told the symbiote that no matter how loud the noise he makes, only Schiller can hear it.

The symbiote's answer was humming, and Schiller didn't know whether he understood it or not.

The next morning, Schiller was making breakfast in the kitchen. As soon as Matt entered the room, the old record player on the bar suddenly made a buzzing sound, and then a song by Queen was played at the highest volume. Matt was almost stunned.

Schiller rushed out, and Matt, Schiller and Peter, who were sitting at the dining table, stared at each other and looked at the old record player that suddenly played by itself.
