Chapter 2921: Leisure Time (2)
Aisha seemed more interested in shopping, so she decided to leave with Harley. At this time, a guest who had not appeared finally came down from upstairs. That's right, it was Barry Allen.
He had dark circles under his eyes and obviously didn't sleep well. In fact, he didn't want to participate in this trip because he had more important things to do.
Barry is the best among the younger generation, developing comprehensively in morality, intelligence, physique, aesthetics, and labor, so he also entered university early. However, his undergraduate degree was not studied at Gotham University, but he went to Metropolis University because Metropolis's forensic science major is better.
However, his professor at Metropolis University is Shiler's friend, and also a very strict professor. He caught a good student and squeezed him desperately. As soon as he entered university, Barry started researching, writing papers, and running field work day and night...
He didn't want to participate in Battleworld either, just thinking that the Flash from other universes had gone, and it wouldn't be good if he didn't go.
After entering Battleworld, he didn't play games either, but was still concentrating on doing homework. Originally, it could have continued like this, but two days ago, a vampire Flash suddenly came to their base, who was very unpopular. Even if most Flashes have a good temper, they always argue.
It was too noisy in the base. Barry had no choice but to agree to the invitation to travel, preparing to change places to catch up on homework.
People were almost gone. Fortunately, Shiler left a breakfast for Barry. Looking at Barry's sleepy expression, he said, "I think you can follow Pamela to S. H. I. E. L. D. The forensic analysis team of S. H. I. E. L. D. is very famous, even much stronger than the FBI, and they are responsible for various superpower cases all year round. I think you can go there to find materials."
Barry's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "I am doing forensic research related to superpower crimes..."
Barry ran away almost in a flash. His Speed Force can be used here, so there is no place in the world that can stop him. Nick is going to have another all-around errand boy.
After Barry left, Shiler called Natasha.
"Hello? It's me. Pamela should have already gone over. You have to be careful. Her determination to sleep with you is very firm... Yes, I know your determination not to sleep with her is also very firm, but this matter is not about who is more firm at all..."
"No, I don't mean that. A kid with high speed has gone over. Oh, he has arrived. Then you send him away, I have something to say to you."
Shiler roughly talked about Barry's situation, and then said, "If possible, you help him write the paper... Aren't you an agent? I believe in your academic level."
"This group of people will just look for trouble." Shiler opened his laptop while rolling his eyes and said, "I don't know what will happen if the homework is written later. They can't even play happily when they come over."
"Don't worry, listen to me. A few less papers won't destroy the world. Let him relax for two days."
"... Then you misunderstood me. I'm not looking for trouble for the FBI. Jason is a very smart kid. I sent them a good helper."
"Yes, Tony intends to take Pepper out for a stroll. He did forget. It was my reminder that he remembered. They intend to go to the mother and baby store to stroll. Do you want to send more people?"
"I don't think it's necessary. Although the child deserves special protection, the original manpower is not small... It's fine if it's to coax Tony, but his anxiety is almost cured by the rednecks."
"Me? Same as usual. I have been looking at the city planning map of Los Angeles. Seriously, it's much better than New York. I have spotted a few locations. I am preparing to let Ultron investigate first..."
"... This is a complete slander! I really don't know how Nick can think of me like this. How could I deliberately cause an accident in order to lower land prices? This kind of behavior of disrupting the market should be strongly condemned! I wouldn't do such a wicked thing!"
"No, it has nothing to do with this at all. I just care about the mental health of teenagers, so I invited them to New York to bask in the sun. Okay, I promise you, I won't let them go to the West Coast, but I still want to express my protest against your groundless questioning..."
After hanging up the phone, Shiler continued to operate the computer. The screen showed the urban construction map of Los Angeles. There were many marks drawn by him on it, and many places were circled.
Although the sanatorium in New York is not in the city center, it is considered to be in a suburban community. Although this community is relatively quiet, the mobility of personnel is not high, and the quality is also very good, but in the end, it is still full of traffic and not quiet enough.
Shiler didn't really like this location that much when he chose it. First, the land of this sanatorium was basically given away for free. Second, the sanatorium had no reputation at that time. Even if there was a gimmick of immortality factor, it couldn't be too far from the crowd. If the commuting cost was too high, no one would be willing to come.
But now Arkham Sanatorium is already very famous. Regardless of whether the immortality factor is effective or not, Shiler, this psychologist, is very effective. Some people came for the name of the immortality factor, but after a period of psychotherapy, their mental state improved, and naturally they would feel that the immortality factor was effective.
This time going to the West Coast to open a store is also at the invitation of many celebrity friends. After all, the climate on the West Coast is actually more livable than the East Coast, and the cultural customs are also more suitable for recuperation.
However, this time Shiler intends to open the sanatorium more remotely, preferably in the mountains, so that it can be completely undisturbed.
The locations Shiler marked on the map are all suburbs far from the urban area of Los Angeles, and as Shiler said, the natural conditions and urban construction level of Los Angeles are actually much better than New York.
Los Angeles is backed by mountains and faces the sea. The city has both the prosperity of high-rise buildings and retains the Western style of the initial development. Most importantly, the Mediterranean climate is very mild, and there are national parks around the city. The location Shiler is most optimistic about is Malibu on the west side of the national park, and the mountains of a small village on the west side of Santa Monica.
However, the troublesome thing is that the land price in Los Angeles is very expensive, and these two places Shiler is optimistic about belong to nature reserves. If the land here was easy to get, it would have been full of villas long ago.
Los Angeles is a mayor-council city, which is the so-called strong-mayor city, basically an autonomous city. If you want to get land, you have to impress the City Council. Shiler repeatedly marked the areas he was optimistic about and thought for a long time.
Near lunchtime, Stark suddenly made a call, his tone a bit anxious.
"Doctor, come and help quickly. Pepper and her little sisters went into the store to stroll. Little Morgan is with me, but she has been crying..."
Shiler could vaguely hear the baby's crying from the receiver, but it wasn't the kind of heart-piercing crying, more like some kind of prompt tone, so he said, "You take her to the mother and baby room, she should need a diaper change."
Stark hung up the phone in a hurry, and after a while, he called back and said, "You are really a god. You can even read the mind of a little baby over the phone!"
Shiler said helplessly, "You are already a father, you have to learn to listen to your daughter's crying. This kind of non-sharp crying one by one is actually expressing that she is uncomfortable."
"Wait a minute, I'll take a pen and write it down..."
Shiler said a lot intermittently. Infant psychology is also a required course for psychology, and it is a very important category. Although Shiler rarely encountered such problems in his career, he also understood some. However, if you want to say who understands this kind of problem best, it must be Professor X. After all, he has been dealing with the group of giant babies of mutants all year round.
"Is your property contract with Pepper ready?" Shiler asked, "Last time you asked me to find an Oriental Taoist to calculate the auspicious day for you, it shouldn't be far, right?"
"Didn't you receive the invitation?" Stark asked strangely, "We are getting the certificate on the 2nd of next month and holding the wedding on the 5th. Could it be that Obadiah was too busy and forgot to send your invitation?"
Shiler held the phone between his ear and shoulder and said, "Wait a moment, let me see."
He walked out of the door and came to the mailbox. Because the sanatorium is a public facility after all, not his home, there is a room full of mailboxes. He found his own among them, but there was nothing inside.
"Are you in the sanatorium? Come on, who would send a wedding invitation to the workplace! Go back to your house and see!"
"Go home?" Shiler was a bit confused. He lived in the workplace most of the time when he came to Marvel. Where is his home?
After Stark finished speaking, he also froze. He didn't know where Shiler's home was either, only the locations of the two clinics, so he sent a message to Obadiah to confirm and then said.
"Oh, he sent it to your previous apartment. Did you forget? It's that apartment with a pile of wine bottles and medicine bottles."
"But that's a house I rented, and the lease has long expired!"
Shiler said while hurriedly going to change clothes. He had to get the invitation back before the new tenant threw it into the trash.
Then he thought, although living in a sanatorium is not bad, it is a bit troublesome to encounter such social problems. After all, when socializing in the upper class, if the address you leave for people is a sanatorium, it is hard for people not to treat you as a mental patient.
Perhaps buying a house is not bad, Shiler thought, but buying a house also has various problems. You have to look at the house first, then talk about the price, and then renovate. It won't be figured out in a year or a half.
And whether it is the East Coast or the West Coast, the price of houses is outrageously expensive, especially that kind of villa with a large area. Even if you pay the full amount when you buy it, the high property tax will make you feel like you are paying a mortgage.
On the way to the apartment, Shiler was considering whether to buy a house, whether to do it in one step, or buy a similar one to make do with it first, and whether to buy one in New York and Los Angeles respectively.
As for other regions, Shiler didn't even think about it. The house price in the central region is indeed not expensive, but it is inconvenient to do anything.
Thinking of this, Shiler suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Buying a villa in the central region is indeed a sucker behavior, but it is very popular to buy a farm now. On the one hand, a farm as a residence will not be abrupt. There are many rich people who build villas on farms. On the other hand, a farm has good social attributes.
Although it is a farm, it is not the kind of facing the loess and backing the sky, but a high-end social place where you can fish, barbecue, and invite three or five relatives and friends to ride horses in your spare time. ===== CHAPTER 2922 =====
