Tony's eyes lit up: "So, you will come back?"
Luke: “Who knows?”
It was a rare keyboard chat. Tony stared at the conversation for a long time, stroking his chin and muttering, "Batman Returns?"
As soon as he said this, he immediately shook his head: "Impossible, if I do this, those people will say that I am deceiving the public! Could it be that..."
Thinking of another possibility, the young master nodded uncertainly: "That should be the case."
Then he suddenly thought of something: "Wait, in this case, those three batarangs are really top-notch!"
After hesitating for a long time, he finally sighed and said, "Jarvis, add that set of batarangs to the charity auction list and set it as item number one."
Jarvis: "Yes, sir."
"Batarangs No. 001-003 have been added to the auction list." After a moment, Jarvis spoke again: "But, sir, do you really want to sell them? You said you would keep them for life as a collection."
Tony shook his head. "He originally made these things to help the victims. Now if those rich young masters who have nowhere to spend their money can buy them, it won't be a waste of his efforts."
Jarvis was still a little puzzled: "Sir, I think the transaction price this time will not exceed 20 million US dollars. This is already the highest possible premium. You... don't seem to be short of this money?"
Tony's mouth curled up. "Because someone sent me a message the day I bought them."
Jarvis: "What?"
Tony: "I'll sell it at a higher price next time."
JARVIS: ...
It felt that there was a small problem with its own logic program: its master and Alfu's master seemed to be both well-off, but why were they so obsessed with the price of the bat darts
This is just like two billionaires figuring out how to cheat a noodle shop owner out of a bowl of noodles. It's totally unscientific.
Tony had no intention of explaining to Jarvis any further. After all, it was not as cunning as humans.
From the beginning, Batman "memorabilia" was marketed to wealthy people.
Even if these people pay millions, it will not affect their lives. It is purely voluntary.
And this money will become a charity fund to help the victims.
As for whether the money belongs to Tony's foundation or Batman's relief foundation, there is no substantial difference. Neither of them cares who pays more, as long as the civilians benefit.
Tony bought it at the beginning just to avoid the biggest appreciation profit from going to other rich people.
Everyone knows that the price of the first set of signed darts given by Batman can only go up, not down - because Tony Stark is not short of money.
At this moment, Tony also felt an indescribable admiration for Batman.
It’s not because the other party is selfless, but because the other party seems to have been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Even with the financial resources of the Stark Group, it would be impossible to undertake the aftermath of the New York War.
However, this is a matter for the whole of America, and Stark Group does not need to bear it alone.
But having more money can ultimately take care of more people at the bottom of society, which is good for both the people and superheroes.
Money can't solve all problems, but it can solve most of them.
Money cannot bring back a lost life, but it can make life a little better for those who are still alive.
Thinking in his mind, he asked Jarvis to call Pepper: "Has the establishment of the Disaster Control Bureau been completed?"
Pepper was very busy and obviously said something to the person next to him before answering, "Not so fast. But within a month at most, the main structure will be completed, and I will basically have nothing to do."
Tony frowned. "There's no way those Chitauri things could have been left there for a month."
Pepper: "New York officials have temporarily outsourced the cleanup, collection and transportation operations, and will hand them over once the Disaster Control Bureau is established."
Tony nodded, "Okay then. Um, will you be back tonight?"
Pepper was quiet for a moment before she spoke: "I'll try my best. Don't wait for me. Just rest if you're tired."
Tony: "I can't sleep without you."
Pepper chuckled twice: "Really? When did I get home yesterday? Jarvis is not allowed to remind him."
Tony glanced at the light screen that had just appeared beside him and said nonchalantly, "You... uh, just got home this morning?"
Pepper: "Yeah, so all you see when you get up is me making breakfast."
Tony coughed twice awkwardly, and Pepper on the other end didn't press the issue, but just hung up the phone silently.
The young master shook his head helplessly: "Jarvis, can't you remind me faster?"
Jarvis: "Sir, you are talking too fast."
What could Tony say? Who asked him to talk while looking at the answer projected by Jarvis
Otherwise, he should have known at the first moment that Pepper's question meant that his true colors were exposed.
…
Tony was busy, but Luke was not idle either.
Two days later, he finally found the time to start adding points to his basic attributes.
At this moment in the system, the host's character level is 22.
Strength 30 (Justice Star +10).
Agility 29 (Star of Justice +10).
Spirit 30 (Justice Star +10).
The remaining basic points are 20.
Experience: 3145000/5000000.
Points: 6142000.
Looking at the numbers on the panel, Luke felt inexplicably heavy.
There are no experience points for the miscellaneous aircraft that wreaked havoc in New York.
They are just devices remotely controlled by the Chitauri army, so they will suddenly lose control after the space gate is closed.
Therefore, most of the experience points gained this time came from "rescue".
It was only a fraction of a few hundred thousand, which he obtained by eliminating some of the real Chitauri when he destroyed the Second Flagship and damaged the First Flagship.
It is estimated that the Chitauri who died at that time killed at least 20,000 New Yorkers.
Of course, more than 20,000 people died in New York.
Therefore, the remaining Chitauri either remained safe and sound on Flagship One or survived the destruction of Flagship Two.
It’s a pity that Luke didn’t get the flat-shaped peace weapon of the Predator, otherwise there would not be so many Chitauri left this time.
Most of the experience points are gained by saving the people of New York.
Among them are the results of his own hard work, and some are shared by several one-star teams and Selena, his three-star teammate.
According to his rough estimate, the total experience points for this mission to save New York should be around 18 million.
Some reports claim that the disaster could have caused millions of casualties, which is not an exaggeration.
In the end, his own earnings, plus the contribution rate shared by his teammates, accounted for about 37% of the entire task, and the actual experience points he obtained were 6.7 million with a little change.
Such a huge amount of experience points directly fills up the hundreds of thousands needed to upgrade to level 20, the 1 million needed to upgrade to level 21, and the 3 million needed to upgrade to level 22.
This allowed Luke to achieve a rare "three-level promotion".
The character level jumped directly from 19 to 22.
For the remaining basic points, the upgrade from level 19 to level 20 still gains 6 points, but levels 21 and 22 become 7 points each, for a total of 20 points.
In fact, Luke had already reached level 20 before the battle of New York ended.
But it was not until now, two days later, that he was ready to use the remaining basic points.
