Chapter 150 Promise

The powerful psychic ability promises not to be used easily, but it is not unnecessary. The old bald head secretly used it twice, without knowing it, it is not difficult to read the memories of a few salted fish masters.

There is no question of who is higher and who is lower between abilities and magic. Like an Omega-level mutant, Vulcan, the god of fire, can absorb magic hard. He regards magic as a kind of energy, and there is no obstacle in absorbing it.

With the old bald head and Storm beside him, he knew the existence of magic, which was not an accident.

Bella replied frankly: "I'm not like them, nor Orolo, I'm..."

Charles hurriedly raised a palm, motioned her to stop, and said with a smile: "Orolo once explained the principles of those magics to me, to be honest, I didn't understand them, and I don't understand those strange energies you manipulate. ."

He didn't go too deep into the topic of magic, but talked about his purpose: "Miss Swan, I want to cooperate with you."

"Cooperation?"

"Yes, cooperation, I can see that you are a good person, and there is no hostility to mutants."

Bella pushed his wheelchair without saying a word, waiting for the old man to continue.

"The ideas of mutants are still in their infancy. The world is not ready, and the mutants are not ready. The contradictions broke out so suddenly."

The old man sighed: "The longer I live, the more powerless I can feel. When I was young, I wanted to correct those mistakes, but what happened later proved that I was not right. Of course, my enemies were not right either. In the face of survival, no one is right."

Bella is a little confused, what does this have to do with herself? Is it to ask yourself to write a book about the peaceful coexistence of mutants and humans?

"I hope to cooperate with you and use your perspective to make some more objective judgments, identify the pros and cons, and correct some mutants or human wrongs."

The old man said it very complicatedly, but Bella understood the core meaning.

To be clear, I just want to hire her as a thug, whether it's a mutant or a human, as long as something happens that doesn't conform to the old bald head's values, Bella will help him solve it, and the old man can pretend not to know, he can still be in front of others Behind the scenes to maintain his mellow elder image.

The old man was a thief, and the word used was cooperation, not hiring.

In other words, it's a deal.

You help me catch a mutant to wreak havoc,

I'll help you once when I turn around, you can help me get rid of another one, and I'll help you in other ways.

Bella is a little afraid of trouble: "I'm still in the learning stage. If it is a too powerful enemy, then I must be..."

Sure what? Definitely can't beat it!

What if Professor Charles asked her to catch Magneto? Without a particularly suitable timing and environment, she really couldn't beat Magneto.

The old bald man patted the back of her hand gently: "No hurry, you don't need to change anything, just follow the plan and do your own thing."

"Okay, I promise." Bella had no reason to refuse such a verbal promise, and she agreed immediately.

That afternoon, she flew back to Stanford.

......

The Da Vinci Code is selling prosperously in the United States. In less than a month, it has become the third best-selling book in the United States, and Bella's name as a beautiful writer has also gradually surfaced in the publicity.

A reporter from the Los Angeles Times came to interview her.

In terms of character design, it is still the old-fashioned poor, weak and helpless kind that looks easy to bully, but this time the photos are much more beautiful!

After all, in the eyes of the public, Bella is already rich and has enjoyed the benefits of capitalism's overnight fame. If she is dressed in rags and unkempt, it is really not inspirational enough! Not enough of the American dream!

After her beautiful photos were published, the praises on the spiritual level came in a steady stream.

There must be many of them with nasty thoughts, but compared to the increase in strength, she feels that she can bear it, isn't it just licking the photos? Let them add it!

On the campus of Stanford, Bella's popularity has become higher, but there are many talented people who have made great things in the Stanford student stage. Her achievements can only be said to be not low, and those who are constantly developing a program, writing Compared to someone who has made millions with an algorithm, she is still worse.

Stanford is too deeply influenced by Silicon Valley, and writing work cannot be said to be despised, but for those top students, only talents in the IT industry, economics, and medical fields are big cows, and the rest of the industry is the same.

"Oh ho ho ho-" In the dormitory, Bella calculated her royalties and couldn't help laughing like a pig...

At this point, the Da Vinci Code has sold nearly 700,000 copies, the hardcover version is being printed, and the Spanish and French versions have been written and emailed to Random House.

The existing royalty income alone exceeds one million, and this is only the initial stage. The Da Vinci Code in her mind has printed 7.5 million copies in the United States alone, and now not even a tenth of it has arrived.

But the money has to be taxed, and Random House won't be able to settle the royalties for her at the end of the year, in other words, she is still not rich at this time...

......

The zodiac killer has been slowly forgotten by the people of California, and the human trafficking incident in Paris seems to have been satisfactorily resolved. Bella and the others are preparing for a family trip.

It's been almost a year since the new family was formed. Charlie and Samantha went to Spain for their honeymoon. Bella and Natasha also went to Paris to 'visit', but the family of four has never been on a trip, which is very unusual. U.S.

On Friday, Charlie called Bella, who is still writing a new book at Stanford, back to Los Angeles, and the family of four was about to travel.

"The Hunger Games? This is your new book? Yo...it's the heroine!" Natasha flipped through Bella's manuscript and slowly became interested.

"Shi Huiguo? This is a utopian setting in the future? I always thought you would only write those religious stories."

She watched with relish, as if trying to find out some mistakes and sneer Bella.

But as the story went deeper, Natasha's eyes couldn't help beating a few times when she saw the heroine replace her sister to participate in the Hunger Games.

She was touched by the kind of deep feeling that her sister died for her sister in the text, but she still pointed to the paragraph and asked: "Is this written based on me? I am this weak, blonde and blue-eyed sister, you are the heroic hero. sister?"

"Ah? Haha-" Bella raised her head and hit haha. Her cheap sister seemed to have misunderstood something. The Hunger Games was originally the plot arrangement. She copied the book, where can she substitute her true feelings!

But this thing is really difficult to explain, misunderstanding it.
