A Certain Marvel Super Player

Moreover, it cannot be a big show produced by oneself.

At this time, led by Locke and led by the Midtown College Student Union and the Trinity College Student Union, including New York City and New Jersey, the so-called New York and New Jersey Student Council Knowledge Competition was a good fit for this choice.

When the board of directors was held last year, Tony was not there. Although the executive's proposal was suppressed by Obadiah Stan, after the incident, Obadiah Stan found Pepper and asked Pepper to find an opportunity to propose a proposal to Tony. For a moment.

In the words of Obadiah Stane, the investment and gains of the Maria Stark Education Fund are indeed not enough.

but……

Pepper would have to be crazy to tell Tony about this.

Not to mention, Tony had entrusted her with the Maria Stark Education Fund three years ago. The executive said that in the meeting. To put it bluntly, he was just blaming her.

It's okay to blame yourself.

But this was an educational foundation founded by Maria Stark herself. Pepper could swear that as long as she mentioned that to Tony, Tony would directly expel her.

And it’s the kind that doesn’t hesitate at all.

But it’s okay not to talk about it.

Just right.

The last time Gwen chatted with her, she mentioned the knowledge competition that Locke was setting up the stage for. After Pepper went back, he had an idea and thought of a solution.

Locke is a college student from New York City, no, the entire Federation, and even vaguely overseas.

and.

This event is sponsored by Locke and is headed by the University Student Council. Compared with the knowledge competition of the University Alliance, it is more able to attract high-quality students.

Pepper also asked Gwen for the drafted tournament regulations. Although the framework seemed to be transferred from the college league knowledge competition, the content had changed drastically.

There are team competitions and individual competitions.

It doesn't look like a ticket player at all.

obviously.

Pepper, like Gwen, felt that Locke planned to leave his name through this, and then pave the way for his future.

but……

As God is my witness, Locke was an organization from the beginning.

Brush points.

Frankly speaking.

Locke didn't understand. He just wanted to set up a game for himself to earn points. How did he feel? The more he played, the bigger he got.

Especially the five-year plan in the charter, which strives to be extended to the entire federation. Whenever Locke sees that word, he always feels an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

"The Maria Stark Educational Fund is willing to sponsor $10 million."

"..."

Pepper Potts didn't say anything, but when he spoke, he started with ten million. He looked at Locke and continued to place chips: "At the same time, our building on the banks of the Hudson River has just been renovated. It was originally intended to be an art exhibition hall. How about the building that can also be used as a venue for competition activities? President Broughton, are you satisfied with this level of sponsorship?"

Locke looked up and looked at Gwen, who said he was dissatisfied, and then, his expression was full of hope for cooperation and help.

quite a while.

Locke shrugged and said, "Okay, but, Pepper, you have to know that you are giving me money directly. Aren't you afraid that you will be made trouble by the board of directors again?"

He created this knowledge competition not to benefit the people, but to benefit himself. However, he must be the first to earn points, and the first place will definitely win most of the prize money.

So, from a certain perspective, Pepper, to put it bluntly, was giving him millions.

And it’s still free.

I guess no one would refuse to accept the free money.

Pepper smiled and shook his head: "Of course not. During the press conference, I will announce that if I win your first place, I will receive an additional two million after-tax stipend from the Stark Education Foundation. .”

Locke raised his eyebrows and looked at Pepper: "Brilliant!"

Pepper smiled and said, "Thank you."

If this press conference really says that.

That heat...

Wouldn't it just explode? It may be too late this year. I'm afraid that by next year, it is estimated that the top talents in the United States will participate in this knowledge competition.

However, Locke is not opposed to Pepper's approach of promoting him as a boss.

One sentence.

The higher the popularity, the higher the reward.

Half an hour later.

The sponsorship contract is out.

Pepper Potts is not famous for nothing.

After Pepper and Locke signed their names on the cooperation agreement, they shook hands: "President Broughton, happy cooperation."

Locke stretched out his hand with a smile: "Remember during the press conference, let Tony Stark announce it."

Although Locke is unwilling to admit it, at present, Tony Stark is indeed more able to attract the attention of the media than him.

"I will."

"That's good."

Locke took back his right hand and looked at Gwen: "Let's go?"

Gwen nodded, made a wait gesture with Locke, and looked at Pepper: "Pepper, I made an appointment with Cindy to go shopping tomorrow. Are you free? Can we come together?"

Pepper handed the just-signed contract to the assistant next to him and asked curiously: "Last time, didn't you say you wouldn't go shopping until the summer vacation?"

Gwen sighed and said that although she was fine, her wardrobe full of clothes had suffered: "Besides, I can't go back for at least five months. During this period, I can only live in It’s over at Locke’s side.”

Pepper's eyes lit up: "We are living together, congratulations."

Said.

Pepper looked at Gwen with a smile on her face: "Gwen, are you using this incident to tell me the good news that you are living together?"

Gwen was stunned for a moment, then waved her hands quickly: "No, no, I don't. I just said, I have no clothes. Do you want to go together tomorrow? Forget it."

Pepper pursed her lips and said, "Of course, it's just in time. I also need to buy some clothes. I don't have enough clothes."

Although there are three wardrobes that Pepper uses to store her clothes.

but……

There is always one piece of clothing missing from a girl's wardrobe. Although the clothes that Pepper wears for attending some parties and dinners are specially customized, the value of the clothes that Pepper wears is not much different from that of most women. .

At most, it's just a little more expensive.

"Let's make an appointment with Maggie too."

"sure."

Gwen nodded and said, "I'm going to ask Maggie back, but isn't Maggie preparing for the wedding in June? I'm worried that Maggie won't have time to come out."

Pepper shook her head and said: "Maggie is eager to come out. After all, you know, preparing for the wedding is very anxious, but you are almost done, right? There are still four years left?"

Gwen blinked and turned around: "Goodbye, Pepper, I'll contact you tomorrow."

How can you be anxious about getting married?

I won't.

Pepper must be scaring me.

After going downstairs and returning to the car, Gwen glanced at Locke who was sitting in and thought so in her heart.

Locke over there had hung up the phone, started the car, and left here directly. He looked at Gwen and said, "Helen called to ask when we are going to Long Island. Let's go back to Long Island first, and then come up in the afternoon?"

Gwen nodded: "Okay."

If you make a promise to go to Long Island on the weekend, you can't just break your promise on the first weekend.

but……

When Locke drove through a block and passed by Osborne Bio-Industrial, Gwen, who was sitting in the passenger seat, seemed to notice something: "Stop."

Locke hit the brakes.

Gwen unbuckled her seat belt, opened the car door, and then crossed the street and shouted to a person on the other side who was about to enter Osborn Biotechnology: "Dr. Banner."

Locke also made a U-turn, stopped the car steadily, walked out of the car, and saw Dr. Bruce Banner, Betty Ross, and... Thaddeus Ross, whom he had met before.

"Gwen?"

Bruce Banner turned his head and looked at Gwen coming up from behind, with some surprise on his face: "Great, Gwen, I was still wondering if you would be here this weekend?"

Gwen was slightly startled: "Dr. Banner, are you here specifically to see me?"

Dr. Banner shook his head, then nodded: "Not really."

Gwen blinked.

at this time.

A team of people came out from the gate of Osborne Bio-Industry. The leader was Norman Osborne, the man in charge of Osborne, who was always in trouble.

"General Ross."

With a smile on his face, Norman Osborne shook hands with General Ross: "General, the laboratory is ready."

"laboratory?"

Gwen blinked and looked at Banner: "Dr. Banner, has Dr. Connors' human enhancement engineering experiment been completed?"

Gosh.

What have I missed.

I just didn’t come here for the winter vacation.

Norman Osborne, with a smile on his face, looked at Gwen who was speaking, and then looked at General Ross with a suspicious look on his face: "General, this is..."

General Ross looked at Norman Osborne with some curiosity: "Mr. Osborne, don't you know about your people?"

Norman was stunned.

my people?

Gwen said to Norman Osborn: "Mr. Osborne, I am Gwen Stacey from Midtown College, and I am also Dr. Connors' intern assistant."

It was normal for Norman Osborne not to recognize her.

Gwen also thought it was normal. If they knew each other, it would be called a strange thing.

When Norman Osborne heard what Gwen said, he didn't know what to say and nodded.

Betty Ross said to Gwen: "It's not Dr. Connors's human enhancement project. The general came here this time and was invited to visit Dr. Shim's human enhancement project."

"Dr. Smith..."

"Yes."

Gwen was a little surprised: "Dr. Shim's experiment was successful?"

Gosh.

What have I missed.

If Dr. Shim's human enhancement project is successful, what about her and Dr. Connors's human enhancement project experiment?

at this time.

General Thaddeus Ross said: "No, it's just that this experiment was signed and directed by my predecessor. I came here just to confirm whether there is any need to continue this experiment."

Gwen: "..."
