Chapter 3404
Stark got out of the car and looked at the house in front of him. This is a very typical American villa: the house is divided into two parts, the left side is the main structure, and the right side is the garage; it has a sky-blue roof and white walls. Because it is just at the corner of a street, the yard is much larger than other houses.
Stark walked to the trunk of the car, took out the airline crate, and walked over to ring the doorbell. Not long after, the door was pushed open, and the red-haired witch wearing a white thin-line sweater and black wide-leg pants walked out.
"Oh, God, I thought you would be stuck on the road for a while." Wanda opened the door for Stark, Stark walked into the yard and looked around.
"This is your first time here, right?" Wanda smiled and said, "We didn't move here from the Bronx long ago. The Parker family's house is just two streets away, there are many Spider-Men coming and going here, the public security is much better than elsewhere, and the housing prices have risen."
"You and Peter became neighbors?" Stark said with some surprise, "They shouldn't have moved long ago, right?"
"How is that possible, they have lived here for two or three years." Wanda pulled open the front door of the house and invited Stark in.
Wanda's house decoration is also classic. After entering the door, there is a small corridor, then the living room and open kitchen; the door on the right opens to the dining room, the other side of the living room is the bathroom, and the bedrooms are all upstairs.
The house is not very big, but it is well-organized. Various hooks on the kitchen wall hang kitchenware of the same color system, and bowls and dishes are also neatly arranged. Stark opened the refrigerator and took a look, it was full of food.
"Recently I am preparing for community college." Wanda walked over to wash a basket of blackberries for Stark and then said, "Although Dr. Schiller and Dr. Strange are willing to give me recommendation letters, I feel that even if I go to a prestigious university, I may not be able to keep up with the courses. It is better to go to community college to learn the basics first, and then go to the community hospital for internship, so it is closer to home, which is convenient for me to take care of the two brothers."
Wanda also turned on the coffee machine, and the aroma of fresh beans drifted out.
Stark nodded and threw a blackberry into his mouth, the rich sweetness and fruity aroma rushed into his nose. The morning light sprinkled on the island through the plaid curtains, light and shadow swayed; fresh damp air came from the back door. At this moment, he seemed to understand a little why Wanda would like such a life.
"Alright, lady, where is your sweeping robot?"
"Sweeping robot? We don't have... oh, you mean Jarvis. This cold joke is not funny at all." Wanda smiled helplessly, walked out of the kitchen, brought the airline crate at the door over, and then said, "He is taking care of the children upstairs, let me see these little babies first."
Wanda opened the airline crate, Stark very skillfully covered his ears. Sure enough, a scream came from the living room.
"God!! Oh, God! God!!!"
Wanda hugged three fluffy kittens out, the kittens were lying in her arms, shaking their heads left and right dazed, making purring sounds.
"God, they are so cute. I said that adopting them together would be a good choice..."
Stark stretched his two hands in front of him and said: "I can fully understand your love for small animals, but this thing is actually..."
"What's wrong?" Wanda asked without raising her head.
"Uh, they are good at some..." Stark kept turning his hands, seemingly wanting to find an accurate adjective, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "... adult human space teleportation magic."
"What are you talking about?" Wanda didn't understand what he said, "Are you talking about me? Don't worry, I won't use magic on them casually. This kind of little thing is very fragile, I can't bear to let them get hurt."
Stark was a bit helpless, he walked over quickly, picked up one of them, and aimed it at Wanda.
One second passed, two seconds passed. After waiting for Wanda's eyes to gradually start to develop toward caring for the mentally retarded, Stark took his arm back and gently scratched the kitten's forehead.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Why won't you spit out tentacles anymore?"
The kitten gave him a look of contempt.
Stark was shocked, he was very sure he didn't see it wrong. This little thing, which was about the same size as Stark's palm, just gave him a look of contempt.
"Hey, Nick should have said that this thing has wisdom, right?" Jarvis walked down from the stairs and said, "You can't expect any wise thing to go crazy at the Scarlet Witch."
Stark angrily stuffed the cat back into Wanda's arms, Wanda looked at him confused.
Wanda took the cat upstairs, first put them in the baby room that the two brothers no longer used, told them to stay well, changed clothes, and walked down the stairs.
"I'm going out to buy some pet supplies, and by the way, send some blackberries and pancake powder to the Parker family. You guys talk first."
The sound of closing the door came from the front of the living room. Jarvis took over the coffee machine, and not long after, he brewed two cups of thick and fragrant coffee, and put one of them in front of Stark.
"What do you think of the previous Bronx incident?" Stark took the coffee and took a sip, marveling at the freshness of the coffee beans, but didn't want to look too ignorant.
But Jarvis considerately answered the question he didn't ask, and said: "Pietro brought it back from Yunnan, it was harvested less than two hours ago, the taste is not bad, right?"
"He went to China?"
"He found a job in Hong Kong, mainly responsible for the Far Star liaison, traveling between Earth and the Star Port of Neptune."
"That suits him very well." Stark evaluated, "He runs fast enough, once encountering emergency situations like communication interruption, he can deliver information in the first time."
"That's right, he is working very well there. But it is estimated that he will go to the Andromeda Galaxy in the second half of the year. No matter what, Erik cannot accept that he has three children, but only one follows him to work, and it is not sincere."
"How is Polaris? Do they still quarrel every day?"
"She and Iceman broke up again, but her relationship with Erik is okay, it's been almost two months since they fought."
"Is the standard of 'good' a bit too low?"
"Believe me, this is already a quite amazing breakthrough." Jarvis put the coffee cup back on the table and then said, "The public security in Queens has made significant progress, which obviously has Spider-Man's credit. Basically, every new Spider-Man will visit Peter's house and solve crimes on the way."
"Do you mean we should suggest a superhero move to the Bronx?"
Jarvis said helplessly: "Of course not, listen to me finish. I mean, the security problem in Queens can be solved so simply because the situation here is much simpler than in the Bronx. Ethnic and religious beliefs are not so complicated, even if the races are different, most of them believe in the same religion, so there won't be too much conflict."
"But the Bronx is different." He said, "The religious situation there is simply more complicated than the sleep patterns of the Billy brothers. Plus different races, ethnicities, and factions, it can't be solved by simple crime fighting."
"Take the Black protest that broke out in armed conflict before." Jarvis said, "The cause was because a Black single mother was discriminated against, but in the end, two police officers and several innocent people were injured in the conflict. It is really difficult to distinguish who is right and who is wrong."
"Isn't it the fault of the racist?"
"Of course, theoretically speaking, it should be the fault of that racist ticket seller. But his mistake was attributed to all white people, triggering conflict between races, becoming a complex social problem, and it can no longer be solved by pursuing the mistake of one person."
Stark sighed, he thought of Miles's words again. The anti-racial discrimination bill has been introduced for decades, but some conventional social rules are still the same, without any change. The contradictions and conflicts that should exist have never been solved.
"Because of the complex situation in the Bronx, everyone who wants to make trouble starts from here." Jarvis spread his hands and said, "This will lead to the situation in the Bronx getting worse, and then more people will mix into it, forming a vicious circle."
"Then what do you think should be done? Is it possible to engage in racial segregation?"
"Don't say angry words, sir." Jarvis said, "We can't reverse history. The problem in the Bronx is simple to solve."
"You tell me how to solve it."
"Copy homework." Jarvis took out a book from behind and then said, "This was brought back by Pietro from Hong Kong."
Stark took it, the cover was in Chinese, he couldn't read much, but there was a line of English below, which wrote "A Century of Hong Kong".
Stark flipped through it and found it was a bilingual book. He roughly checked the catalog, it seemed to be mainly talking about Hong Kong history.
"Do something that a high-level artificial intelligence should do." Stark said, "Summarize the most important content in this book."
"The whole book is the key point." Jarvis smiled and said, "You can focus on the part about public security governance, as long as you can copy half of it, the problem in the Bronx will be solved."
Stark frowned and flipped through the book, seemingly a bit suspicious. He said: "The East and the West are always different, do you think I don't want to have the efficiency like China? The problem is our backward hardware facilities, which can't support the new system..."
"You'll know when you look at it." Jarvis said, "The situation in Hong Kong in the last century is actually very similar to the Bronx, mixed ethnicities, gangs, all kinds of public security problems emerge one after another..."
Stark put away the book and said: "I will go back and look at it."
"If necessary, you can also consult Dr. Schiller." Jarvis said, "He has many friends in Hong Kong, or Dr. Strange, he is also very familiar with the people in the Hong Kong Sanctum."
"You successfully picked two people I don't want to find the most." Stark rolled his eyes slightly.
"Don't be like this, sir." Jarvis said, "This is doing serious work. Of course, you can't open the box when doing experiments, but if the whole building is on fire, you hold the box and run out, he still has to thank you."
Stark's eyes turned, and said: "Just to see if there is a cat in the box, it's not very good to set the whole building on fire, right?"
"On the contrary." Jarvis shrugged and said, "Didn't Dr. Schiller do this before? The problem in the Bronx will be solved sooner or later, why can't it be this time?"
"Alright." Stark shook his hands, gradually clenched them into fists, and then stood up and said, "In case we didn't run out..."
"I won't laugh at you, sir." Jarvis said, "After all, I am just a sweeping robot."
