Chapter 4162

After Schiller left, Strange wanted to take a nap, but Jarvis soon sent new administrative work that needed him to browse and sign. He had to continue working at his desk.

However, just as he was browsing the documents, Jarvis suddenly said, "Sir, what do you think of these documents?"

Strange said without raising his head, "Not bad, the font is beautiful, the word count is reasonable, except for not understanding what is being said at all, everything is very good."

"I have already marked the key points, do you still not understand?"

"I can read the words, but I cannot understand the content," Strange said, "If you want to say that this is what you painstakingly translated, and I am so perfunctory to just look at it, and it is a bit disrespectful to you, then I can pretend to look at it for a while longer. But you know, Jarvis, my cultural level is really not enough to support me in reading these. I can only show a good attitude, and then let the content pass with the wind on my cerebral cortex."

"No, sir, this is not what I translated, but the Supreme Intelligence."

"Then how is his translation level?"

"Actually, it's not bad, there are no hard errors, but he will deliberately write the sentences in a convoluted way, which will be inconvenient for you to read."

"So you want me to find trouble with him?"

"No, I mean, these documents are actually not very good."

"What do you mean not very good?"

"It means it's not very useful."

"Oh, I understand, the Supreme Intelligence intends to drown me in junk documents, so I won't have time to do any real work. But it doesn't matter, isn't there Schiller?"

"What I want to say is, if you are drowned in junk documents and hand over all useful work to Dr. Rodriguez, it may lead to some out-of-control situations you don't want to see."

Strange's movements paused, then he said, "What do you mean?"

"Dr. Schiller is very good at work, a bit too good. If you don't do something to interfere with him, the speed of things developing may far exceed everyone's expectations and enter an out-of-control state of runaway. This is not the first time, is it?"

Strange suddenly remembered that the last time he put Schiller in the universe, it triggered a great chaos in the interstellar society. Accidents happened here today, and something happened to that person tomorrow, and there is no doubt that all of this is related to Schiller.

"If it's out of control, let it be out of control," Strange said, "Anyway, it's the three major empires and other aliens who are unlucky, and it has nothing to do with me."

"Really?" Jarvis asked back.

Strange immediately remembered again that Schiller is very good at helping seedlings grow by pulling them up, and the means are usually not so gentle, and can even be called cruel and crazy. He wouldn't be planning to give humans a great trial, would he?

And Strange associated it again. Some time ago, he had just returned from the neighboring big world and heard that he had spent an entire Halloween holiday there, but Strange didn't believe he really went for a vacation. Regarding the situation in that universe, Strange had also heard a little bit, hearing that they had fought a solar system war there, and now an electronic life rules the Earth...

Strange stood up with a "whoosh".

"No, Jarvis," he said, "This is not right!"

"If I guessed correctly, Dr. Schiller might have seen some advantages of the Earth under Brainiac's rule in the neighboring world and wants to replicate it on our Earth. And to make the whole world truly unified, we must fight an interstellar war; and to fight an interstellar war, we must first create enemies for humans in the universe..."

"He wouldn't be planning to let you take the position of Brainiac in the neighboring world, would he?" Strange began to pace behind the desk and said, "He called me over just to let me take the blame. As long as it is said that because I didn't do well in office, aliens attacked Earth, then it's all my fault!"

"I'm afraid so," Jarvis said helplessly, "I am different from Brainiac, I am no longer a complete electronic life. I have no interest in ruling the Earth, and perhaps I can't act like Brainiac. So if we let the doctor do this, we might all be in big trouble."

Strange stopped and said as if he had realized it, "You are right, Jarvis. If I am drowned in these junk documents and hand over all useful work to Schiller, the final result will definitely be that both of us will be in big trouble. We can't go on like this!"

"Schiller! Schiller!!!" Strange shouted at the communicator, "Come to the office immediately!"

A few minutes later, Schiller walked in with a stack of documents and said, "Quite a few people took the initiative to ask me for my opinion as a political advisor, which just saved me the trouble of finding them one by one to collect clues. Currently, a few people on this list can be trusted, while these few are wavering and are objects we can win over, and the rest are die-hards..."

Strange immediately widened his eyes and said, "You haven't been out for half an hour, right? You have already completed the confirmation?"

"I said, I don't need to confirm it myself. You gave them such a big problem, and they want to solve the problem, so naturally they have to ask me, the political advisor. Of course I can confirm their stance."

Strange opened his mouth, but didn't know how to speak. He knew that if Schiller had to do something, it was actually very difficult for him to stop it. Somewhat counter-intuitively, the best way to stop Schiller from doing something is actually to persuade him to give up himself. But Strange couldn't think of a good reason to speak for a while.

Just as Strange was racking his brains, the Supreme Intelligence suddenly walked in. He bowed to Strange and said, "I heard that your meeting with the new ministers of various departments this morning was very pleasant, and you announced the main work for the next stage. It is a pity that you did not invite me to attend the meeting, but as the Standing Secretary-General, I think I still have the right to know about the main work of the Interstellar Council in the next stage. I don't know if you can spend some time explaining to me in detail the key points of the new department and the new work theme..."

As soon as Strange thought that the new department and new work were very likely created by Schiller to complete his grand plan, he didn't feel that these things were good at all. Then he thought again, although he didn't like the three major empires, they must be just like him now, full of doubts about the new department and new work, especially when he held the regular meeting, he deliberately didn't call the standing department. If the Supreme Intelligence had feelings, he should be furious now; even if he was an electronic life without feelings, this tone was cold enough to freeze people to death. Given his defensive attitude towards them, they couldn't possibly support the new work.

Not supporting is good, Strange thought. Although he didn't expect them to overthrow Schiller, at least they could delay some time, allowing Strange to think of a good reason to persuade Schiller not to be so aggressive. Don't underestimate this delay. Schiller had just finished saying he wanted to test the subordinates' stance, and the results came out in less than half an hour. If no one went to delay him, I'm afraid that by the time he got off work today, the typical examples he wanted to catch would have been thrown into prison by him.

Strange sighed in his heart, then walked over with a fake smile, patted the Supreme Intelligence on the shoulder and said, "It's not that I deliberately didn't call you. You also know that I am the Sorcerer Supreme and a doctor on Earth. I have never been a decent official, and I don't know what this process is like at all. So your standing agency must attend the morning regular meeting?"

Because Strange had already perfectly established the image of a straightforward and ignorant person, the Supreme Intelligence was not surprised by what he said, but explained to him very patiently: "Although I am the Standing Secretary, we both belong to the Speaker's Office, and we are in the same department. And when various departments hold meetings, I naturally have to attend on behalf of our department. Don't the ministers of other departments also bring their standing secretaries?"

Strange thought about it and said somewhat embarrassedly, "But the ones following them are all robots. How would I know that those are department employees? I thought..."

"Thought what?"

The Supreme Intelligence's tone didn't distinguish between joy and anger, but his eyes had begun to gradually turn into a death stare. Strange still said somewhat guiltily, "You know, humans rarely can build decent robots, and we haven't dealt with mechanical civilizations, so when encountering robots, I find it very difficult to treat them as creatures that can communicate and exchange with us. And you also know that most electronic lives have no soul, and as the Sorcerer Supreme, I generally rely on soul fluctuations to distinguish different lives. So I generally can't see robots. If you don't speak, I thought you were potted plants."

In fact, this is naked discrimination by Strange. And because two of the three major empires are mechanical civilizations—the Skrull Empire at least has some pure carbon-based life, while the Kree Empire has basically been highly mechanized, and it can even be said that they only have one empire member, which is the Supreme Intelligence, and others are just his threads—plus anti-discrimination work has been done for many years, the status of mechanical life is getting higher and higher. Under the protection of political correctness, it has even faintly exceeded carbon-based life and become a first-class citizen. He hasn't been discriminated against like this for a long time.

It can be said that Strange emphasizing his identity as the Sorcerer Supreme is still useful. At least now, this robot body controlled by the Supreme Intelligence can't do anything except revving the engine and the cooling module. Strange has discriminated against him so blatantly, and he can only endure it.

But Strange obviously understands the truth of giving a sweet date after a slap, so he said, "Don't mind, I am just a straightforward person, saying whatever I have, and I am too lazy to play those riddles with you. Alright, isn't the key point the work content announced at the regular meeting? Actually, if you don't come to me, I will also come to you. After all, I only formulate decisions, and you are the one who can push the government orders."

This made the Supreme Intelligence's complexion look a little better. Strange said again, "However, the issue of environmental protection work was not proposed by me. This idea actually came from my private political advisor. This is Dr. Schiller. I think you two can chat. After all, I don't understand those redundant administrative works, so I won't delay the time of you professionals."

Strange perfectly threw the pot out. The Supreme Intelligence glanced at Schiller, but didn't have any complaints. From the day he knew humans were going to be the Speaker, he knew he would definitely have to face Schiller, and there would be a war of words between the two sooner or later. He had just prepared his draft in his heart when he heard Schiller say: "Actually, this matter has to start from the Sorcerer Supreme's trip to the Temple of Eternity..."

Strange slapped his forehead.
