"Can't believe it, the sanitarium is moving. I remember it was just renovated not long ago, right?" Danny looked at the movers and said.

"Yes, it was just renovated. And because of this, it can be sold for a good price, especially after the movie became a hit. It's much more expensive than when I bought this place."

"The environment here is good, it's a pity." Danny shook his head and said.

"Yes. But if the new sanitarium is only one mile away from New York Central Park, it's not unacceptable."

Danny widened his eyes and said: "The new address of the sanitarium is only one mile away from New York Central Park?! Holy shit! How much does that cost?!!!"

"It doesn't cost much." Shiler waved his hand modestly and said, "This sanitarium sold for a good price, the new movie also made a small profit, plus my savings, it's completely enough."

"You're really too rich." Danny said, "The box office of the movie also shared a lot with us, and it's even enough to afford land in Manhattan. But this is also good, I'm preparing to find a job in Manhattan, so it's much closer."

"That's right. It's because many patients reflected to me that the location of the sanitarium is too remote, it's inconvenient to come and go, and it's inconvenient for me to go to work at S. H. I. E. L. D. So I thought about filming a movie, promoting the sanitarium, finding someone to take over, and then buying a better piece of land to move."

What Shiler said was all true. But what he didn't say was that after "The Horror" became a hit, this place became a tourist check-in spot. Now, besides fans and reporters, there are more tourists, which completely fails to meet the sanitarium's need for quiet recuperation.

Another reason is that this sanitarium is surrounded by residential areas, basically all luxury villas. If it were before, as an ordinary sanitarium that only needed to meet social and recuperation functions, it would be fine, but now the sanitarium has taken on some mental patients, and this place cannot meet the treatment needs.

First of all, most medical staff with good levels are not willing to come to such a remote place to work, especially professional psychiatrists. If they can choose a hospital in New York City, they will definitely not choose here, even if the employment conditions here are better, they are not willing to come to the remote suburbs. This led to a shortage of doctors, and most patients were handled by Shiler himself. He was indeed a bit too busy.

Secondly, whether it is buying medicine or medical equipment, it is very troublesome to transport them here. Psychiatric drugs and testing equipment are distributed at the distribution centers of medical companies in New York, and the company's distribution points are all in the city center, and they cannot be sent by civil flying shuttles, they must use professional logistics air rails. But the nearest air transport distribution center is about six miles away. To get medicine, Shiler also had to buy a truck and hire a driver, which is really very troublesome.

Then, there is Shiler's misjudgment of the sanitarium's decoration style, which led to him now needing to hire sixteen gardeners to handle the massive amount of plants inside the sanitarium. Those delicate plants from all over the world, especially from the tropics, as long as you dare to pour one drop of water less, it will die for you immediately. The Marvel world doesn't have Pamela, the walking plant life support system, and dealing with these greening and plants is really killing him.

Considering these, Shiler decided to sell the sanitarium. Just take advantage of the heat, sell it to a real estate developer and make a big profit, plus the box office earned by the movie and his own savings, just enough to buy a piece of land in Manhattan.

Yes, the movie had almost no cost, it was pure profit. The land was very hot, and it was sold for a high price. Even so, Shiler had to use a large amount of his savings to afford the land near New York Central Park. This can no longer be called expensive; the real estate developer could have just robbed him, but he still gave him a piece of land.

The new land is slightly smaller than the current one, but considering the congestion of Manhattan, this is already not easy. There used to be a hotel on this land, and there happened to be a nine-story building that could be used as a sanitarium, with a front view of New York Central Park and a not-so-small backyard in the back, which could just be used for patient activities.

The hotel is a manor-style building, the main building is brownish-red, with some British manor-style decorations, but the overall is relatively simple. The building is less than ten years old, and the interior decoration is mainly spacious and bright American style. The layout is reasonable, and as long as it is slightly modified, it can meet the needs of treatment and recuperation.

Most importantly, you can enter Central Park directly within a few minutes of walking. There is no place in all of New York with better air and environment than around New York Central Park. Sitting in his new office, Shiler could clearly feel that the oxygen content here was higher than around the original sanitarium. Because there is a not-so-small lake in Central Park, the air is also more humid, which is better for the respiratory tract.

And starting from here, whether it is going to S. H. I. E. L. D. headquarters, Stark Tower, or the Sanctum Sanctorum, it is not far.

"Welcome to New York." At the housewarming party, Stark patted Shiler on the shoulder and said, "You finally decided to end your hillbilly life and be a real city dweller. Congratulations."

Strange next to him rolled his eyes and said: "For you, except for Manhattan, everywhere else is the countryside, right?"

"Come on, there is no decent urban civilization ten miles outside of Stark Tower." Stark curled his lips and said, "The beef in the cheeseburgers there isn't even willing to use butter to fry, what else can you expect?"

"This location is indeed quite good." Nick said, "And it's not far from the Central Park shuttle station, the transportation is convenient."

"Have you heard? China seems to be promoting private flying cars, the kind that uses solar energy. When do you think we can promote it here?" Stark held a wine glass and said, "Americans should have the best, but Congress is always singing the opposite!"

"Things aren't as simple as you imagine." Steve took a cup of yogurt from the waiter next to him and said, "Our traffic control here is too weak, if private cars are flying all over the sky, shuttles and planes will be in danger."

"Of course there must be a height limit." Stark continued, "Use technical means to distinguish different flight altitudes, even if a driver wants to deliberately deviate from the flight altitude, the car won't be able to do it. That should be fine."

"That must be intelligent driving." Peter leaned over and said, "Our intelligent driving technology here isn't even as advanced as Europe's, and ethics is also a problem. Put it to Congress, don't even think about passing it without a few dozen free-for-all fights."

Stark sighed and said: "In any case, I must not let the United States fall behind. I'll go back and study intelligent driving, even if I can't install a Jarvis in every car, the most basic artificial intelligence isn't difficult..."

When Wanda came over, Shiler was choosing cheese at the cheese table. He glanced at Wanda and said: "Oh, Madam, you are even more radiant recently. Any good news?"

Wanda immediately showed a brilliant smile and said: "I'm pregnant again! I'm sure this time it's a girl! I'm going to have a daughter!"

Shiler looked at her with some surprise and said: "You're pregnant again?"

"Yes, this is the last time, Jarvis and I think three children is about enough. Then we'll raise two dogs, and then buy a car." Wanda shook her arms happily and said, "My internship performance was very good, and I'll be able to become a regular soon. By then, Jarvis and my income added together should be able to buy a bigger and better house..."

"Pardon me for being blunt, Madam, working in the emergency department while pregnant is probably not very wise..."

"Oh, come on, I'm not really an ordinary pregnant woman." Wanda shrugged and said, "I know this internship assessment period might be very busy, so I'm planning to pause the pregnancy. My little princess might have to stay in my belly for two more months, and when I'm done with this, I'll let the embryo continue to develop. It won't delay anything."

What else could Shiler say? He could only give Wanda a thumbs up and wish her work and life go smoothly.

"By the way, have you thought about what to name your daughter?" Shiler asked.

"How about Isabelle? She will definitely be a beautiful girl, and might have the same nickname as the cute little shark."

"You mean Aisha?"

"Right, this was originally Isabelle's nickname. Aisha said her big name is Elizabeth, and I don't know what her parents were thinking." Wanda said, "But I think Aisha should be very happy to have a sister with the same name as her. How is she lately?"

"Simply playing crazy." Shiler flipped through his memory and said, "She made two new good friends, went skiing together last winter, ate all the Christmas candy within three days, and successfully sent herself to the dentist's office."

Wanda laughed from the heart and said: "Oh, by the way, I plan to raise a puppy. What breed do you think is better? Nelson raised a Welsh Corgi, which is simply hilarious. I also want to raise a gentle puppy, and consider a large dog when I have experience."

"Then a Teddy? No, the Teddy's bark is a bit sharp, a Schnauzer might be good. Otherwise, it's a Papillon..."

"Hey!" Pikachu jumped onto the table, flicked his lightning tail and said, "When on earth do you plan to get rid of that hairy monster that spits tentacles from its mouth? It's looking at me more and more strangely!"

"You mean Goose?" Shiler asked, "That depends on when Captain Marvel comes to pick it up. And you actually have the nerve to call others a hairy monster, I'm also the first time knowing that mice can change fur!"

"My fur is much shorter than its."

"But equally hard to clean." Shiler shook his head and said to Wanda, "I suggest you can delay raising a dog, you'll have your hands full when those little hairy monsters in your house grow up."

"That's true, Jarvis often complains that there is too much cat hair in the house. His computer and home server vents are all blocked. If only there were pets in this world that were hairless and equally cute."

"Hey, Doctor." Peter patted Shiler on the shoulder from behind and said, "Tony invited me to study intelligent driving and flying cars together, I might have to run to Stark Tower all the time lately. But I can't stand the sleeping pods there, can I go to the new sanitarium to live for a few days?"

"Great! Buddy!" Pikachu cheered first and said, "We can join forces to drive that evil hairy monster away!"

Peter and Pikachu high-fived, then reached out and picked him up and said: "Then we'll go back to pack our things first, Doctor. You send me the room number, and I'll go over to check in myself."

Shiler nodded and watched them both go out the door.
