Anyway, Li Jie didn't fear Dum's gaze at all. What's wrong, aren't superheroes human? Can't superheroes fart? Why do you care when I fart? I just fart. Hit me if you dare.
It's not like superheroes don't eat grains, and it's not like they don't have to worry about daily necessities. Take Blade for example. Because of the success of the Iron Man movie, the entire Marvel industry rose. Including the comics and peripheral products, not only Iron Man's own products, but also the sales of the company's other characters' comics and peripheral products.
For example, the Blade comic had always been a second-tier publication in the company, only slightly better than the Hawkeye magazine, which had just been launched not long ago. At its best, it was tied with the S.H.E.L.D. and the Iron Fist comic series.
Blade was popular, but it hadn't been too high. Therefore, Li Jie's Marvel didn't pay Blade a high quarterly copyright fee. The highest copyright fee was only about $100,000 (before tax).
Blade's life had always been tight. Although he had a decent salary at S.H.E.L.D., plus the copyright fee, his life should be very carefree.
However, because he bought a luxury villa in midtown Manhattan, he completely emptied his family's assets and went into debt. In addition, New York's property tax increase was shocking, especially in the Manhattan area. Some property tax increases could often outpace the increase in housing prices.
Therefore, Blade had been worried about money. Although Zhan Kailin (Blade's girlfriend, now living with him) had suggested countless times that he could use her credit card to pay off the loan. As a specially approved scientist in the field of blood and genetics, Zhan Kailin's annual income was much higher than Blade's.
However, Blade was a very old-fashioned man, a man who felt that men should be the backbone of the family. It could be said that he had a little bit of male chauvinism at work. Therefore, he had never accepted Zhan Kailin's proposal. In order to protect Blade, who loved to save face, Zhan Kailin could not force him to do anything.
Therefore, Blade's days were always tight. Every month at the end of the month, he would take out his little notebook and calculator and start calculating which sum of money he should pay first and which sum of money he should pay later. How should I pay for my social security, medical insurance, etc. Also, how much tax should he pay during the tax season? If he missed the payment, the tax police would probably come knocking on his door to collect the debt.
Therefore, when Iron Man's increase in sales also increased the sales of Blade's warriors, Li Jie paid Blade 160,000 yuan in royalties for this quarter. This was the first time Blade had ever received such a large amount of copyright fees.
He almost cried on the spot. Li Jie still remembered how the tough guy had held the check tightly and prayed to the heavens. But when he got the money, he spent more than $50,000 on a new car. At that time, Li Jie felt that it was necessary to remind him that it was better to save money. He didn't want to spend it all and fall into a financial crisis. It was just like Dr. Reed.
The story of Blade's warriors was actually an example. No matter how godly and brave superheroes were in movies or comics, they were still human beings. But to put it bluntly, they were still humans. They were humans first, then superheroes. They were hungry even if they didn't eat, and it hurt when they were beaten.
So what if Li Jie said that he couldn't hold back a fart? Who said that superheroes couldn't fart?
Dum stared at Li Jie for a long time. Anyway, Li Jie kept insisting that he had just farted and was definitely not laughing. Under Li Jie's repeated insistence, Dum finally chose to temporarily give up the idea of finding trouble with Li Jie.
Because he was more troublesome now, Dr. Reed and Susan's attitude toward him was far more than Dum had imagined. Susan actually used her example as chicken soup for the soul to feed Reid, allowing him to soothe his soul when he was the most hurt. Would you believe such a thing? Dum felt like he was going crazy.
Wasn't he a big villain? Wasn't he a tyrant and a dictator? Since when could he be used as a role model?
Dum's smart brain was now in a mess. Seeing that Dum was in a mess, Li Jie instantly felt that he could relax and enter the mode of watching the show.
In the end, Dum didn't even know how he left Dr. Reed's lab. Because Reed and Susan were very happy for him and cheered him on. In the end, Dum forgot what his original purpose of coming here was.
It wasn't until he returned to his Ruined Castle in this bright and coquettish outfit that he suddenly realized. That's not right! That's not how my script was written! What happened to finding trouble with Reed? Why did he come back with his tail between his legs and was fed a stomach full of disgusting chicken soup?!
Dum wanted to look for Dr. Reed again, but Li Jie stopped him. "Okay, Dr. Dum. I think you should have let it go by now. No matter what grudges you have, whether it was or not, it's not that important to you now. "
Dum asked himself. He really didn't have that kind of anger back then anymore. Yes, some things should be let go, but Dum suddenly felt that there was a piece of emptiness in his heart. The Destruction Mage was a little uncomfortable, so he didn't show Li Jie any face.
"So, you've watched enough today? Then hurry up and leave. I want to rest. "Dum impolitely asked him to leave.
However, Li Jie didn't plan to leave just yet. Giving Dum medicine and helping him recover his appearance was only his first goal. There was another goal he needed to explain to Dum.
"Actually, I can't leave for now. We still have something to discuss. "Li Jie casually found a place to sit down. Well, at least he wouldn't go back before Thor figured out a way to get the Tesseract. Otherwise, he would be forced to do hard labor again.
Dum snapped, "Just say it. I don't have too much time to waste with you."
Li Jie ignored Dum's tone. He understood what Dum had experienced today. So, he generously opened a bottle of champagne king and invited Dum to drink. Although this was Ruin Castle, everything here belonged to Dum. But Li Jie still behaved very generously.
Li Jie handed the champagne to Dum, regardless of Dum's expression. He lightly clinked his glass with Dum's and said, "Cheers."
Dum narrowed his eyes. It seemed that he had to reevaluate the shamelessness of this man.
Li Jie tasted the top champagne king, which was said to be only 70 bottles in the world and priced at 300,000 euros per bottle. Well, he could taste the money.
"If you have something to say, spit it out!" Dum was almost amused by Li Jie.
Li Jie waved his hand. "It's just a small matter. I want to introduce a group of dark elves to prepare for a possible war in the future. "
