"Mr. Li, what you're asking for seems a bit… excessive!"
Li Qingyuan couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at the bald head that had appeared before him.
He hadn't expected that just wanting to take some local specialties home would actually alarm Obadiah, a hidden boss. It was quite a pleasant surprise.
"I recall I already discussed this with President Stane on the phone before coming. My compensation for this assistance can be paid with products from Stark Industries. What I'm taking now is perfectly reasonable!"
"Actually, I've already prepared three hundred thousand shares of Stark Industries stock to transfer to you at any time. Compared to what you want to take, it's definitely not worth that much!" Obadiah Stane looked at Li Qingyuan with a slightly excited expression.
William had just reported to him that the young man in front of him was definitely a weapons genius.
Even if he couldn't compare to Tony, he wouldn't be too far off.
The fact that the other party had solved a problem that a professional research and development team couldn't solve in months, using only the crudest equipment, had the design department staring blankly at the few missiles Li Qingyuan had cobbled together!
Had they traveled back to the 18th century? Were hand-crafted weapons more precise than those produced by high-precision lathes?
Even though the disappearance of the CEO had caused Stark Industries' stock price to plummet, it was still around $100. Three hundred thousand shares of stock were worth $30 million just at market value.
Not to mention the series of rebounding effects these Sidewinder Missiles would bring once they were delivered to the military on time. Obadiah Stane's gift was worth at least $50 million!
And while the selling price of a box of missiles was over $10 million, what about the actual cost?
Never mind, that's a trade secret!
"No need, I think these things are enough as payment!" If it were before, he might have been a little surprised at the compensation Obadiah was prepared to give him, but after ten years of training, he didn't care much about this small amount of money!
He had, after all, been a man who had once owned a kingdom. How could he abandon his principles for a mere $50 million?
"Add a zero, and it's almost right."
"Since that's the case, I won't say more. However, I must ask that you be mindful of the impact. It's best if this batch of goods doesn't circulate within the United States!" Seeing how insistent the other party was, Obadiah Stane didn't press the matter further, only offering a final word of caution.
Of course, the main reason he handed over so many high-powered weapons to Li Qingyuan so easily was because his background seemed quite reliable.
S.H.I.E.L.D. was an intelligence agency directly under the United Nations. Not to mention mere missiles, they possessed even super weapons like Sky Carriers and Nuclear Missile Launchers. Compared to those things, Sidewinder Missiles were practically toys.
If it weren't for William's extravagant praise of Li Qingyuan, giving Obadiah the idea of investing in this person, he, as the vice president, wouldn't have needed to get involved in such a small matter!
"President Stane!" Seeing the bald man preparing to turn and leave, Li Qingyuan naturally couldn't let this opportunity slip by, quickly taking two steps to catch up.
"It was a pleasure meeting you!"
"Likewise. I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future." Although he failed to recruit him, as a qualified businessman, Obadiah Stane wouldn't deliberately show a cold face. Instead, he smiled and shook hands with Li Qingyuan.
"Host has come into contact with the key figure Obadiah Stane, unlocking the qualification for a new instance transfer!"
"Definitely!" Li Qingyuan said with a smile, quickly retracting his hand.
Obadiah Stane felt that the smile on the other's face was a bit unnatural, but he didn't have time to delve into it. He was busy every second of the day, and it was already difficult enough to squeeze out some time to see the other person. He didn't have time to pay attention to the other person's small thoughts.
Indeed, the other party might be a very talented weapons genius, but the most worthless thing in this world was genius.
If Tony Stark hadn't been sleeping on the gold mountain built by his old man, he would never have become a world-renowned billionaire, no matter what.
Nikola Tesla and Shengun De, those were all bloody lessons!
'Clang—Clang—Clang—'
Li Qingyuan was completely unaware of Obadiah Stane's thoughts, as he had already entered the mission world!
The changing scenery outside the window told him he was in a train car. Judging by the dim environment outside, it was a subway!
He took a few steps to look around the car and saw only six or seven people. The subway's business must not be good.
But then he looked up at the clock hanging above the train, and he realized…
It wasn't that business was bad; it was actually doing great!
It was already midnight, and there were still so many people. During rush hour, wouldn't it be packed like a sardine can?
He found an empty seat and sat down, Li Qingyuan pondering which story he had transmigrated into this time.
The first time, the system had explained the mission world immediately. The second time, it announced the mission as soon as the protection period ended.
But last time in the Caribbean, the dog system waited until he met the protagonist before explaining the mission. This time, it was probably the same!
Just looking around this train car, there's nothing useful to see.
The passengers all had generic white faces, with one black man mixed in!
He took another careful look, but didn't recognize a single face. Was he in some low-budget movie again?
Ding—
The subway seemed to be arriving at a station. The doors on the side instantly opened, and people began to get on and off in a scattered manner.
Could his mission target be among these people getting on the train?
Because he didn't know what his mission was, he had no idea where he should go. He could only sit on the subway aimlessly.
However, the system clearly wasn't going to make him wait long. Just as the subway crowd was half-way through boarding, a burst of gunfire suddenly erupted from outside the train car!
'Bang bang bang bang——'
The sound of gunfire outside the car grew closer, and everyone inside immediately ducked down, covering their heads and huddling in the corners. Aside from a few women who were softly sobbing, everyone else remained silent and kept hidden.
As expected of a free and democratic country, no one panicked in this situation. They must see this kind of thing all the time!
Li Qingyuan didn't play the hero and rush out. He knew that even though his offensive capabilities might allow him to act as a mobile artillery platform, his defenses were weak.
If he was hit by a stray bullet, he would be seriously injured, even if he didn't die.
This was also why Black Magic had gradually declined in the Caribbean world.
After decades of arduous cultivation to master Black Magic, a few bullets could easily take him down. The cost-effectiveness of that exchange was simply too low.
