Chapter 3: Tony Stark before he became Iron Man
"What? One hundred million US dollars? Get this swindler out of my house!"
"Chili, I feel perfectly healthy and don't need any treatment! And I certainly don't need someone who dares to ask for a hundred million dollars to treat me; he's treating me like a sucker!"
Hearing the loud commotion coming from the room, Miller was already planning to slip away. After all, although Stark's views had been completely changed due to his experience in Afghanistan, his terrible personality remained unchanged.
But Miller couldn't bear to leave because he couldn't bear to part with the agreed-upon $100 million consultation fee.
Pepper Potts eventually succeeded in persuading Tony to accept Miller's treatment.
But judging from Pepper Potts' terrible complexion, Miller had every reason to suspect that Tony Stark, the future Iron Man, wasn't planning on getting proper treatment.
After all, he hasn't suffered from palladium poisoning yet; he just has a big hole in his chest.
However, on the other hand, having a big hole in one's chest doesn't seem like a small problem.
When Miller entered Tony Stark's room, he was not surprised to see Tony Stark with a sour face.
Seeing Miller enter, Tony Stark spoke first, "Miller Cooper, 29 years old, had accomplished nothing in the previous 28 years, but suddenly five months ago he acquired amazing medical skills, curing all the injured people on his former street at low price or even for free. At that time, I was quite impressed with him."
But soon, your fame grew, and you were kidnapped by a gang, forced to work as their doctor for a month. After the gang was eliminated, you were introduced by... Your Excellency to work at New York's most famous private hospital. With your superb medical skills, you became New York's most outstanding and renowned surgeon in just three months.
But at this point, you seem to have become a different person. You won't go to the operating table unless the consultation fee is enough, and the consultation fee is getting higher and higher every day. Now you even dare to ask me for a consultation fee of 100 million US dollars.
Do you know how big a number one hundred million US dollars is?
Are you crazy?
Faced with Tony Stark's questioning, Miller remained calm and said, "In my opinion, it's just a matter of different values of life. The lives of ordinary people are worthless, so I naturally won't charge them. But the lives of the powerful and wealthy are priceless, and the fees I charge are nothing compared to their lives. Mr. Stark, as the most famous richest man in America, the fees I charge should naturally be commensurate with your net worth."
Tony Stark sneered, "But I don't think you're good enough to live up to your boasts. I don't need your treatment. You can leave."
Miller glanced at Tony Stark's haggard face, and with the gleaming light bulb on his chest, it was clear that Tony Stark's physical condition was actually very bad.
Miller, who still had some recollection of the Iron Man movie, knew that Tony's intelligence alone could improve his physical condition significantly by simply changing a light bulb. Furthermore, with the information left by his father preserved by H.I.E.L.D., he indeed did not require Miller's treatment at all.
But Miller needs that $100 million!
So, we can only try to see if we can fool this confused future Iron Man.
Miller steeled himself and approached Tony Stark, who was glaring at him, and said, "Mr. Stark, you seem to be afraid of my treatment?"
Tony Stark sneered, "What, Miller Cooper, you've become a psychologist again? Are you going to talk about life again, hoping it's the topic psychologists love most?"
Knowing that his IQ was definitely not as high as Tony Stark's, and knowing that he could not win an argument with him, Miller still gritted his teeth and continued speaking for the sake of the one hundred million dollars. "Mr. Stark, any normal person would find it hard not to see that what is affecting your physical condition is that shiny thing on your chest. You can't possibly not know this, yet you are unwilling to remove it. Obviously, for you, what this light bulb brings may be more important than your life. Considering your recent experiences, I guess this thing should be able to give you power."
Tony Stark gave Miller a serious look, but didn't continue his mockery.
Miller breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "You're not so much unafraid of death now, but rather more afraid of being unable to do anything!"
Tony's face darkened again. "Get out of my room. I don't want to repeat myself."
Seeing Tony Stark's attitude, Miller felt that his $100 million was already out of reach, so he could only turn around and leave, but still made one last attempt.
"Mr. Stark, I can allow you to retain what you want while prolonging your life. If your thoughts change, you can have Ms. Pepper contact me at any time."
For the sake of a hundred million US dollars, you...
As Miller walked out of Stark Tower, Tony Stark continued with his work as if nothing had happened.
After Tony Stark finished his work, he sat alone for a while, seemingly deep in thought. He carefully examined Miller's "battle record" collected by Jarvis for a few minutes before finally taking out his phone. "Pepper, give that guy his normal consultation fee."
"What, one million US dollars?"
"Never mind, just give it to him."
Miller grinned as he looked at the extra million dollars in his account. It seemed that Tony Stark wasn't so annoying after all.
But what time is it now? Tsundere is long gone, buddy.
But for the sake of these green US dollars, please come to me again next time!
Tony Stark, who was building the Mark II for himself, was completely unaware that Miller had already labeled him as an arrogant fool.
After returning home, Miller once again examined his powerful system in his mind.
[Recharge System (Recharge to become powerful ᕦ༼•́–•̀༽ᕤ)]
[Host: Miller]
[Item Possessed: Horse Talisman LV9 (1/100000000)]
(Can cure all diseases in the world and restore all items in the world)
[Reputation Value (100)]
[Shop (Active)]
[Recharge Points: 1]
I wonder if these two new reputation points were provided by Tony Stark and Pepper Potts or by the couple from yesterday. If they were provided by Tony and Pepper, that would be incredibly disrespectful to the Marvel Cinematic Universe's top brass!
Miller frantically promoted his own system, urging the system to fix the reputation system bug. But let's see what good stuff is in this shop.
"System, activate the store," Miller muttered to himself.
After the shop was activated, Miller discovered that only eleven talismans remained for sale in the shop.
Good news, the price is the same, just $100,000.
The bad news is, we still need 10,000 reputation points.
Miller thought about how it took him five months to reach one hundred reputation points, and felt that his system wasn't so powerful after all.
The following day, Tony Stark held a press conference and announced that he would permanently close Stark Industries' weapons division. Stark Industries' stock plummeted that very day.
Upon learning this news, Miller hesitated for a moment and decided to let the stock price drop a little longer. After all, the stock price would only rise when Tony announced that he was Iron Man, and it wasn't at its lowest point yet.
