Egghead's face turned dark when he heard this. "Don't be so unkind. After all, ten years ago, I also provided you with information about the Hand. Isn't it considered a favor to you?"
"So you can still sit here and talk to me."
After regaining control of the initiative, Li Congxin nodded with satisfaction, casually took out two bottles of juice from the Fridge, threw one of them to the other party and said, "There is an old saying in our Huaxia, which is to go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, just tell us your purpose, right?"
Egghead was speechless after hearing this. The aura I deliberately created has been completely destroyed by you. If I say it now, it will look very lackluster!

But since Li Congxin asked, he had to say it.
I could only follow the lines I had thought of before and pretend to be nonchalant and say, "You know, you are not the only superhero in the world."
Li Congxin opened the juice and took a sip, then asked, "Are you talking about Tony Stark, your ace agent, or Captain Marvel from more than ten years ago?"
Seeing the black face getting more and more ugly, Li Congxin said cheerfully, "We are all thousand-year-old foxes, so don't play any nonsense with me. If you have something to say, just talk to me directly."

I can't continue talking today. This guy is simply a thorn in the side and doesn't know how to cooperate at all!
Finally determined that he could not gain the upper hand in terms of momentum, Egghead could only change his approach and said in a tone like chatting with an old friend, "Since you know so many things, you must also know that our earth is not as safe as ordinary people imagine."
Li Congxin also sat down on the other side of the sofa at this time. "So, you are planning to summon superheroes with righteous hearts under your unified command to fight against foreign enemies?"
Of course, Egghead heard the disapproval in his words, and quickly corrected. "It is not under my command. In fact, the organization I am planning to establish will be an independent superhero group. There is no direct relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D., and it will not restrict the freedom of its members. I just hope that when disaster strikes, everyone can work together to resist threats from the outside."
So, you are inviting me to join Avengers in disguise?
After thinking for a moment, Li Congxin felt that there was no harm in joining Avengers. After all, when the entire earth is facing threats, no one can be immune.
Nodding, Li Congxin decided to give him a chance. "Let's talk about it in detail."
"This plan is still a preliminary draft. I will ask someone to send you the information later." After receiving a satisfactory reply, Egghead finally took a sip of the juice with satisfaction and praised, "It tastes pretty good."
"Cheng Hui, 1 US dollar."

Do you want to buy someone a drink? Do you still have to pay for it?
Egghead tried his best to control himself so as not to spit out the drink he just drank in his mouth.
Seeing this, Li Congxin could only say helplessly, "What do you control? If it sprays out, I can charge you an additional $20 for cleaning up."

He immediately took out the One Beauty knife from his wallet and slapped it on the coffee table. The expression on his face had become serious. "Besides the matter of the superhero organization, I actually have another thing to do with you this time. I want to invite you to become Tactical Advisor of S.H.I.E.L.D.."
Tactical Advisor?
Li Congxin frowned slightly, which was obviously due to his ability to predict the unknown.
If you want to know about the so-called tactics, it's all nonsense. He Li Congxin is just a novelist and movie maker. Does he understand Mao's tactics?
But if combined with his familiarity with the plot, he can indeed put forward many important opinions in many cases.
With Li Congxin's current strength and status, S.H.I.E.L.D. did not dare to take any coercive measures against him, but he was unwilling to give up his precious resource, so he came up with this compromise method, right?
However, joining S.H.I.E.L.D. is still a detached position similar to that of the future technical consultant of Tony, and it seems to be a very good choice.
Now Li Congxin is already qualified to flip the table at the poker table, but if you want to get more benefits and have more say, having a political background is an indispensable factor.
This is also the main reason why America so many wealthy people are willing to spend huge sums of money to run for political office.
From business to government, S.H.I.E.L.D. you are undoubtedly a good breakthrough point.
What's more, as the frontline against alien threats on Earth, S.H.I.E.L.D. contains countless enviable black technologies. He must become a member of S.H.I.E.L.D. to have access to those gadgets.
Li Congxin expressed great welcome to Egghead's behavior of attracting wolves into the house, but since he had the opportunity to blackmail him, how could he win it so easily. "Do you know how much my annual income is now?"
"No money!"
Egghead said very decisively, "If you become Tactical Advisor of S.H.I.E.L.D., we can provide you with help in many aspects, but if you insist on talking about money, I'm sorry, we can't afford you."
Li Congxin smiled after hearing this, and then revealed his true purpose. "I want your S.H.I.E.L.D. research data on Gravitational Mechanics, not only the original data left by Howard Stark back then, but also all the results of your subsequent research and development over the years."
That's right, Li Congxin has been thinking about Anti-gravity's information in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s hands from the very beginning.
The information Howard left for Tony and S.H.I.E.L.D. should be exactly the same, but that was nearly twenty years ago. In these twenty years, to what extent has Tony improved this information? S.H.I.E.L.D. How far has he extrapolated it? These are all unknowns.
Just like the beginning of the same story, two authors can write two completely different stories. With the same basic information, the research results of Tony and S.H.I.E.L.D. must have many non-overlapping parts.
He wants to complete his gravity device as soon as possible. The ideal situation is, of course, to get both pieces of information.
In fact, even if S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't come to him, he planned to ask Sharon to invite Egghead to talk about this matter in a few days.
But in that case, it is inevitable that this Egghead will take the opportunity to blackmail you.
So, he kept putting it off. The reason is to wait for Egghead to be unable to resist and come to the door.
It's like now, it's not that Egghead is blackmailing him Li Congxin, but that he Li Congxin can be sold at a price.
Negotiation is actually very simple sometimes.
Whoever takes the initiative becomes passive.
After thinking for a moment, Egghead finally asked, "Are you sure you won't use it for commercial purposes?"
This is a promise!
Li Congxin also showed a satisfied smile, "I'm very sure."
