Chapter 2960 Leisure Time (Thirty)
Speaking of the New Xanadu, people from the two universes finally had some common topics to talk about. Tim and Jason were very curious about this country that did not exist in their universe, and Schiller and the others obviously had some opinions on the current situation of this country, so the two sides started chatting.
In fact, since the establishment of this country belonging to mutants, the international community has never stopped attacking it. No matter what, a country composed of humans with super powers is itself a threat to other countries.
It takes a process for other countries to develop nuclear bombs. There is still some room for bargaining, and they can make some moves and delay time, which can be considered as efforts. But this mutant country is different. They have their own nuclear bombs, and not just one or two, but almost all of them.
The two big nuclear bombs leading the way, one is strong and charming, the other is cunning and smart. They are simply the perfect leadership combination. More importantly, no country or organization in the world has the conditions to assassinate both of them.
Although they established their country earlier due to the changes in history, due to various international pressures, when it came to the point of developing the Andromeda Galaxy, things did not change much. Magneto still led a group of people out to open up the Andromeda Galaxy as a pioneer in human interstellar exploration.
If we have to say what has changed, it is probably that the traveler finally has a home to return to. The old man who has experienced two world wars is finally no longer driven from one land to another, but has a dual home for both body and spirit.
But spiritual comfort cannot 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 lies in the problem of the mutant education system.
A country has no future without education. Logically, they can start building an education system once they have their own country, but the problem is that teenage mutants are too unstable and they need to spend almost all of their youth learning how to control their abilities.
This means that they are unable to study science, business, management and other majors like ordinary people. Even with the support of dream schools, not everyone has a super brain. With a small population base, there is naturally not enough talent.
This is the biggest flaw of mutants. Those with strong abilities do not necessarily have good brains, and those with good brains may have flaws in their abilities. Those with talent need to spend time to master the abilities, and it is useless for those without talent to learn.
The previous generation of mutants were already stretched to the limit in dealing with all kinds of attacks, let alone going any further.
Harley must have analyzed this point, which is why she chose this mutant country as her first stop in this universe. The other party was in urgent need of talents, while she lacked angel investors. The two parties could be said to have hit it off. With her clever little brain, Harley quickly demonstrated her value in business management and gained the trust of the mutants.
The cooperation between the two parties is quite pleasant. Schiller and Steve can feel from the recent news that the new Shangdu State has made some investment moves recently. In Schiller's view, the prospects of the investment projects they have chosen are quite good. It is obvious that they are not at the level of mutants. If it is Harley who is the substitute, then it is very reasonable.
However, it seems that Harley has not yet revealed her trump card. Schiller believes that she can see that the future of mutants is actually in the Andromeda Galaxy, and these actions on Earth are just icing on the cake.
But Harley is not a mutant after all, and it is impossible for mutants to accept her sincerely. It is not that easy to interfere in the affairs of the Andromeda Galaxy.
The existence of mutants makes young people from other universes very curious, but this social issue cannot be explained clearly in a short time. Even if Schiller explains it in detail, how much one can understand depends on one's personal understanding.
Tim's understanding is obviously the highest. He knows that if he wants to invest in this universe, mutants will be the best choice. However, the investment environment, that is, the situation in the universe and the three empires, still needs to be examined.
Dick just thought that the various abilities of mutants were very interesting, and he didn't have any special opinions on other aspects. Jason felt that the mutants were too impatient now, and the internal atmosphere was not very good. If they couldn't adjust, they would cause a big trouble sooner or later.
Schiller actually agreed with Jason's opinion. Now the mutants are immersed in an atmosphere of self-doubt. They can't understand why they can't develop well when they have the right time, place and people and are so much stronger than ordinary people?
It would be fine if they were isolated from the world and had no one to compare themselves with, but ever since the founding of their country, they have been squatting next to a certain behemoth, watching others go from being in ruins to thriving, and now when people talk about heroes in the world, the only ones are you and Cao.
As I said, all extreme thoughts of human beings start from "Why?"
Over the years, they have had many exchanges of interest, such as the power of nature suddenly causing several small islands to rise from the sea, several design drawings suddenly being found in the jungle of Hokkaido, a young mutant suddenly falling in love with a foreign girl and getting married, and so on.
But the mutants themselves know that their behavior of being helpless is a kind of revolutionary friendship. A certain Eastern country is like a country that can do anything when forced into a corner, but it cannot help the mutants. The mutants really can't do that.
Afghanistan may not be the real graveyard of empires, after all, I haven’t collected China in my stamp collection, but mutants are the real quagmire of empires, and no one, whether China, the United States, the Soviet Union or Russia, can stand up to them.
Tim felt a little sad after listening to what Schiller said. At this moment, he could always better understand the concept of "water overflows when it is full" in Eastern culture. Mutants are very strong, but sometimes being strong does not solve the problem, but brings even greater trouble.
They chatted for a while, and when it was lunchtime, they had almost finished soaking, so they prepared to have a meal in the center of the resort.
The girls had actually come out a long time ago. Pamela got a cabbage from the cafeteria kitchen, and they ran to the gym on the second floor to test the cabbage's deadlift ability. From the second-floor window, they saw the others walk into the activity building.
The more upscale restaurants were all on the third floor, and the two parties agreed to meet there. When Schiller passed by the restaurant's front desk, he picked up a menu. As expected, it was the kind of Japanese food that was expensive, unpalatable, and not authentic.
Although the land is gone, there are still many Japanese living abroad. However, many of them have been away from home for many years and they are not famous chefs, so the dishes they cook are not that good.
Otherwise, why are Chinese the people who advocate the continuation of Japanese culture the most now? Now that the country is gone, anime will be better to watch, Japanese food will taste better, and Japanese will sound more pleasant.
This is the same as for artists. Their works are worthless when they are alive, but their value increases dramatically after they die. Japanese culture is a precious heritage of the East Asian cultural circle, and the emphasis is on heritage.
Schiller looked at the ridiculously expensive prices on the menu with some disdain. He didn't want to eat, but he felt that the ingredients they prepared last night would not be enough for another meal, so he could only order a little bit reluctantly.
The result was as expected. The food was expensive and the portions were small. Piles of plates were piled up and then 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 seemed to be in tears, but in fact, the word "smugness" was almost written on his face.
Because the country no longer exists, there are not many people who can cook this kind of food. The price of Japanese food all over the world is now several times more expensive than in another universe, and the salary of this chef is probably about the same.
Schiller and the others didn't mind, but the young people were all growing up, and because they were not full, they went to the supermarket nearby and bought a bunch of snacks, and brought back the big and small bags to their residence.
As soon as they got back, Harley pulled Schiller and asked mysteriously, "How much do you sell super powers?"
"what?"
"I heard that you claim to be able to do any business. Can you sell me super powers?"
"Aren't you learning magic?" Schiller asked. He did not forget that Harley had taken classes at Kamar-Taj Academy of Magic before, so theoretically, as long as she got some energy, she could use magic.
"Magic is not okay." Harley shook her head and said, "That's obviously Kamar-Taj's way. I want to be a superpower."
"A superpowered person like a mutant?"
"more or less."
Schiller thought for a moment and said, "Actually, if you go get an amputation now, you can also say that you are a mutant. After all, many of the Ipsilon class are disabled."
"I already told you I want to buy it with money! You're just going to sell me this?"
"I see that this is the only thing you can afford."
"Then you underestimate me. I have enough money to buy this community now."
Schiller was surprised and said, "Seriously, you don't know how expensive land is in Los Angeles, do you?"
Harry sneered and said, "So you underestimated 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 cruel, do you think he would let you go?"
"Professor X can read minds. These two old men are together every day. You don't think he doesn't know that, do you?"
Schiller pursed his lips. It seemed that Professor X and Magneto were also risking their lives. But that was normal. There were not many people willing to work for mutants, and Harley must be the best one among them.
"Do you want super powers to infiltrate their ranks?"
"They are the two who need to give an explanation to other mutants." Harley sighed and said, "My current identity is Professor X's daughter who is away from home and Daqun's sister."
"They all guessed that my mutant ability was the same telepathic ability as Professor X, so I didn't reveal it. But after all, I don't have the X gene, and it would be terrible if I was discovered."
"So you want the X gene?"
"I don't want that damn thing. It's too unstable. What if it really makes me lose my limbs? I need more obvious superpowers so that no one will think of investigating me."
"So someone wants to check on you."
"Because I can't really read minds after all." Harry frowned and looked at Schiller with dissatisfaction and said, "Just like I know that you can't really read minds either. There will always be people who can see through it."
Schiller touched his chin and said, "This is a bit difficult. What type of superpower do you want?"
"The more obvious and cool the better. It would be best if there was a grand ceremony to make my mutant power go out of control, so that the whole world knows that I am a mutant."
