Tony was confused for almost a second before he finally pulled his mind away from S.H.I.E.L.D. and understood what Luke meant.
His face was a little dark, but he was also a little suspicious. "Is this … really useful?"
Luke took a sip of his coffee and said, "There's bound to be some effect. If you only have five minutes of endurance left, the effect will definitely be obvious. "
Tony coughed lightly and snorted disdainfully. "Then it's useless."
Then, he thought of something. "Can you supply Life One on a regular basis? I don't need too much. "
Luke was intrigued. "Have you produced results?"
Tony had studied this drug for several months after obtaining it, and his progress was not small.
However, most of the research data wasn't in Tony's abilities.
The tycoon, who didn't have much time, had given the task to a certain research team.
Luke had a small group of test subjects on his side. They were basically people who had contracted certain diseases and could only wait to die or linger on.
They were willing to accept the experiment for a bit of hope, and at the same time, they would receive a considerable amount of cash, which would allow them to avoid paying taxes.
Poor people who were about to die naturally didn't care about the I.R.S.
So far, it seemed that Life One hadn't discovered any adverse side effects.
That was within Luke's expectations.
After all, the original version of Life One was a "medicinal bath" that the Fraternity had been using for a hundred years.
After such a long time, there had to be a record of the hidden dangers, and Sloan wouldn't let himself and the famous hitmen use it often.
Of course, there was another possibility, which was that the hidden dangers would live longer than ordinary people.
If they could live until they died without any problems, then the hidden dangers wouldn't be important.
Tony nodded. "It can quickly heal external injuries, cure certain diseases, and slow down the aging of the body. Also, there aren't any side effects."
Luke nodded. "I'll talk to them for you. You can talk to them about the quantity."
He then changed the topic. "You … aren't thinking of using it as a special medicine for lumbar strain, are you?"
Tony's face stiffened.
He really did have such a plan, but it would be at least three to five years later.
He wouldn't dare to use such a mysterious drug on himself without long-term experiments to verify it.
It wasn't that he suspected that Luke was up to no good, but that he would cry himself to death if the side effects were to worsen the strain on his psoas.
After all, this thing was originally used to save lives. It was acceptable to pay a price to save lives, but if it was used for health care, any obvious side effects would be unacceptable.
Luke patted him on the shoulder. "Then you should practice your Qi Refinement more. At the very least, I guarantee that it won't hurt."
After some thought, he added, "You can ask for the Life's Light Dagger from a big shot. It should have a good effect on your cultivation."
Compared to the scientific Life One, the metaphysical Life Light Dagger only provided pure vitality, which was indeed useful in promoting the Qi Refinement Technique.
Extravagance? There was no such thing.
This thing could not appear on a large scale. Otherwise, a large number of people would go crazy to find the owner and ask for it to "extend" their lives.
In a sense, the lifeforce within the Life Dagger was omnipotent.
Most incurable diseases could be delayed even if they could not be cured. With some medical treatment, there was a high chance that the patient could recover completely or partially.
However, Tony had obtained a few dozen Life Ones, but only two Life Lightsabers. Clearly, the production of Lightsabers was extremely low.
Hearing Luke's words, Tony was delighted. "Then, how about twelve first?"
Luke said, "Two at most. It can only temporarily enhance the Qi Refinement Technique and delay aging for a few months, so that you won't suddenly die from lumbar muscle strain. "
Tony was lost for words. You're the one who will suddenly die from lumbar muscle strain!
Naturally, Luke wasn't so concerned about Tony's sleep and lumbar muscle strain because of Pepper.
Now that the tycoon was a one-star teammate, his abilities could be refreshed at any time.
Since it had become Luke's "perpetual ATM," it was reasonable for him to ensure that it was running and efficient.
When Tony was in good health, he could work overtime for a few more hours every day, and he would be more efficient.
There was no such thing as a black-hearted exploiter.
Luke was a poor man who only slept two hours a day. Why would he feel bad for Tony, who slept more than six hours a day?
Unless the tycoon suffered from insomnia and didn't sleep every day, he would have to maintain this perpetual ATM.
A dead enemy was a good enemy.
And a living teammate was a good teammate.
As long as he was alive, he would be able to produce more. This was the best way for Luke to have such a teammate.
Half an hour later, Luke left with all of Tony's research data on Life One.
They had agreed that Tony's research on Life One had to be shared with Luke, and Luke would always provide Life One for experiments.
After this conversation, both parties reached a tacit understanding regarding SHIELD.
Tony wouldn't interfere, and it wasn't appropriate for him to.
But under Luke's "explicit instructions," he promised that he would take some of SHIELD's "legacies" when the opportunity was right.
Discussing how to split up the legacies while "someone else" was still alive was a traditional skill of capitalists.
The two capitalists who made this decision didn't have any psychological burden. They couldn't let Hydra take advantage of them!
…
After Valentine's Day, Joker wasn't willing to be left out.
On February 17th, two Virginian politicians were quietly killed again.
One of the cousins was a businessman and the other was a mayor, and they had colluded to cause a lot of trouble.
Together, they provided 5,000 experience and credit points, so it was worth it to die together.
The only survivor was the businessman's son.
Although he was only fifteen years old, he was already a light red evil.
She just didn't know if he would turn over a new leaf after seeing his father and uncle prove their innocence on the spot.
Luke didn't have any expectations.
It didn't make much difference whether there were more good people in society or more experience and credit points for him.
Thus, while his level one clone was livestreaming in Virginia, his main body was discussing business with CEO Jenny.
From the beginning, Luke had designed QQ based on similar software from his previous life. It wasn't hard to add a place to order food.
Jenny's professional team would take care of the specifics.
For example, Americans liked to use checks and credit cards, and had a natural resistance to online payments.
The capitalists in the American banking industry wouldn't let outsiders charge into their territory and take away such huge profits.
It had to be noted that the right to issue US banknotes wasn't in the hands of the American government, but the Federal Reserve.
The Federal Reserve, on the other hand, used a dual organizational structure of a federal government agency and a non-profit organization, thus avoiding the complete centralization of monetary policy in the hands of the federal government.
No matter how confident Luke was, he didn't think it would be easy to fight these people for food.
This wasn't like the China penguin and the black cat in his previous life, where he could get one himself.
Of course, it wasn't that difficult.
The explosive growth of the Internet and cell phone networks had already given rise to a payment platform similar to PayPal for online shopping.
With Luke's advance warning, Jenny invested in this platform in advance, and then reached an agreement with Amazon, the largest online shopping platform, to jointly hold shares in this payment platform.
With this payment platform, it wouldn't be difficult to launch the ordering function. It would all be done in a month or two. All that was left was the number of restaurants.
Luke was only giving a small start in advance. It wasn't difficult at all for an independent business to operate.
Jenny was too lazy to ask any questions. She simply sent it to her subordinates as a trial operation project, killing two birds with one stone.
It wasn't easy for her to talk business with Luke, and it was already a waste of time to listen to him talk about such trivial "personal matters" for two minutes.
