The most important thing in life was to be happy. Was that right? It should be, because there was an old saying: "Money can't buy my happiness."
For someone like Dum, there were very few opportunities for him to be happy in his life. Scientific breakthroughs would bring a sense of achievement, which was a source of happiness. However, every breakthrough in research always required time to accumulate. And before a breakthrough, there would always be a period of bitter research.
Also, the magic he had recently started to learn could also bring happiness to Dum. This kind of thing was very interesting. But what made Dum unhappy was that he had an annoying junior brother, Dr. Strange. If he didn't have this junior brother, then his life would be perfect.
Unfortunately, this Junior Brother of his was now out of his control, which made Du Mu a little unhappy.
Apart from these two things, it was difficult for Dum to feel happy. Other things, such as informing Latveria, were just a kind of work that didn't bring him happiness. Or rather, ten years ago, he could have had some sense of authority and achievement, but now Dum was tired of it.
Once a person was unhappy and in a state of depression for a long time, they would become abnormal. For example, Dum changed all the landmarks in the country to Dum XXX, promoted the development of the Temple of Dum, and made the people worship Lord Dum, and so on.
All of this stemmed from Dum being too bored. He was so bored that he needed all kinds of ways to have fun. It was hard to imagine a person without any hobbies, neither watching movies, playing games, nor indulging in good food, beautiful women, and music. These pleasures that could stimulate the senses of ordinary people were all useless to Dum.
For Dum, these things were too boring. If he didn't explode in silence, he would become abnormal in silence. Dum would explode and become abnormal in the boring silence.
He became the most maverick dictator in the world. No one knew what was going on in his head. He didn't need to explain to anyone what was going on in his head.
Some people said that he was the most powerful and powerful psychopath in the world, and perhaps this person was right. There was only a thin line between genius and madness, and Dum had always been jumping on this line.
But although Dum was crazy, he still had the last bit of rationality. At least he didn't torture ordinary people or start wars for his own amusement. At the very least, he was much stronger than those tyrants in the legends. Although many people felt that Dum was still a tyrant.
"Who cares? I don't care about that! Wouldn't it be better if the senior US officials were hopping mad? Isn't it great that the British leaders can't sleep at night? It was said that the British and Americans were a family. If they had to worry, they should worry together! We're all a family, and the most important thing is to be together. " Doom met Li Jie again. This time, Li Jie could feel it from his tone and the atmosphere he exuded. Doom, the Doctor of Destruction, was now in a state of unprecedented happiness.
"I'm very happy, extremely happy! It's been about fifteen years since I've been this happy. " Dum said bluntly, "Now I feel that even if you don't give me that twenty-year sales contract, I'm willing to do these things. This makes me so happy. These billions of dollars are worth it! "Dum found the joy of spending money.
"Then it's settled. You're willing to give up the sales rights for twenty years in the thirty countries of Eastern Europe." Li Jie didn't care what kind of twisted mentality Dum had to find this kind of thing very pleasant.
Li Jie was now like a big snake on a stick. You said you could give up the sales rights, I didn't force you. Twenty years of sales rights for the X Beauty Potion! Although it hadn't been sold yet, Li Jie knew very well how much it was worth here.
Dum listened to Li Jie's words, looked at him deeply, and then calmed down. "You're more shameless and black-hearted than I thought. Who's the villain here? "
Li Jie shrugged. "Does it matter? Have you seen an old Hong Kong movie, 'Ninth Grade Sesame Officer'? I really appreciate a line in it: 'Corrupt officials are treacherous, but honest officials are more treacherous than corrupt officials. Otherwise, how can they deal with those corrupt officials! '
"I think this is very appropriate to apply to me. If you want to deal with the villains of this world, you need to do things according to their logic. And do it more thoroughly than them. Bad people can only be defeated by worse people! Justice and light never come for nothing. Someone has to do the dirty work. If you want an organization to last, you need someone to do the inside and the outside world. "
Dum glanced at Li Jie. "So you and I are responsible for doing the dirty work? And the others (referring to Captain Rogers and Tony) are responsible for the outside world? "
"You're right." Li Jie said nonchalantly, not feeling that there was anything wrong with it. "This is very much in line with my character in the manga. Walking on the edge of darkness and light, it sounds cool, doesn't it? "
"Hmph, you're crazy." Dum snorted coldly.
Li Jie looked at Dum in surprise. "Could it be that you like to work with a great and honorable guy? Like Captain Rogers? (At least on the surface, the captain is still very honorable.) "
"Hmph!" Dum didn't answer and continued to snort.
"Alright, don't be so stubborn. You really enjoyed this action plan, didn't you? You were born to do this. Let the people you hate hate you. "Li Jie gestured at Dum with his thumb.
"Don't you enjoy this expression of 'I love it when you hate me but can't get rid of me'? Admit it, you've already said that this is the happiest period of your life in the past 15 years. "
Li Jie patiently enticed him. "Just like I said before, join our organization. Although you're temporarily an intern, I can guarantee that there will be a lot of such things for you to do in the future. Isn't the most important thing in life to be happy? When your job allows you to laugh heartily, make a lot of money, and piss off the people you don't like, what's there to be dissatisfied about? "
"You're a very good lobbyist." Dum looked at Li Jie and said, "But you trust me that much? Isn't your organization pushing the world in a good direction? I'm a dictator and tyrant! "
"I've never heard of a dictator getting tired of power and wanting to let it go." Li Jie went straight to the point. "In my opinion, you're just an idiot who's bored to the extreme and doesn't know how to make yourself happy. If you want to be happy, you're no different from a Husky who caught a ball of yarn and played happily. Please forgive me for being a little rude. But the principle is the same. "
Li Jie clearly noticed that Dum's atmosphere had turned cold, but Li Jie wasn't afraid of Dum. He continued to speak bluntly. "You said that you haven't been this happy in the past 15 years. How many 15 years are there in life? Do you want to live happily or live out of boredom? I believe it's an easy choice. "
Dum didn't say anything. He stood up and gazed into the distance. Then he let out a long sigh. "But if we solve the problem of the mutants this time, we might not have such a good opportunity again."
Li Jie smiled and said meaningfully, "The earth is small, but the universe is bigger than you think. Let me know when you've decided. The storm of the mutants is getting bigger and bigger. It's about time for those politicians to return to the negotiating table and continue to suffer your anger. You can still be happy. These things should be settled quickly. There are more important things to deal with. "
Dum frowned. "What is it?"
Li Jie pointed in the direction of the moon. "It's almost April. Dr. Reed and the others should be back by now. I remember that you and Dr. Reed were classmates? Do you need me to arrange a meeting? I heard that you haven't seen each other for a long time. In fact, Dr. Reed still misses you. He once said that you're the only classmate he admired. "
Dum was silent for a while and finally said coldly, "No need."
Li Jie didn't force him, but before Li Jie left, he suddenly remembered something. "Right, there's one more thing I need your help with?"
"Say it," Dum said bluntly.
