Chapter 2675 Hollywood Rhapsody (Thirty-three)
At the Schmitzger Orphanage in Brooklyn, New York, a boy with black hair and gray eyes was looking around. He picked up a bundle of branches wrapped in newspaper, but not to make a fire, but to check the time on the newspaper.
Very good, now is more than 30 years ago, Schiller is less than 10 years old. He was busy looking for an orphanage yesterday, and now he has time to confirm whether the time point he traveled through is correct.
He had found this orphanage before he traveled through time. It has a very good reputation and offers very good treatment. Because the Schmidzgers who founded the orphanage are scientists themselves, they have always provided orphans with basic natural science education. The orphanage is very popular among scholars and scientists. Many scientist couples who do not have children of their own will come here to choose suitable children to adopt.
Of course, this is also one of the government's face-saving projects. Most of the children who can enter here have passed some examinations. They don't have to be gifted, but they must at least be smart and have a stable personality.
After knowing this, Schiller of course headed straight here. Although he has now changed into the appearance of a child, he is an adult soul after all, so it is still easy for him to pass the exam.
In the original timeline, the Hamilton couple he chose adopted little Hamilton, but the three of them were killed by Hydra. Schiller planned to replace little Hamilton. In addition to saving his life, he could also create a reasonable life experience for himself.
There was not much mention in the reports of the murder case about how the couple adopted their adopted son, and the time was not very certain. It was only certain that it was this year, so Schiller could only stay in the orphanage and wait.
But he was not idle either. He basically visited the entire orphanage, especially the orphanage's Hall of Donors, which housed the orphanage's founder and successive donors, most of whom were famous scientists. Schiller also saw many familiar faces there.
And most importantly, Schiller stood out among all the children in the orphanage with his good performance and was deeply loved by all the teachers and the director of the orphanage. If there was a good adoption opportunity, he would definitely be recommended first.
After waiting for half a month, Schiller finally received news that a couple of scientists who had made great achievements in electronic engineering and computer science were willing to adopt the children and had sent over a list of all the children a day ago.
Schiller had already done some research and knew the couple's expertise, so he brought Ultron with him when he came. Ultron also showed great talent in computers and helped the orphanage solve many computer problems.
Sure enough, the next day, the deputy director of the orphanage called Schiller to his office. She was a fat lady with a amiable face. Schiller had helped her fix her computer before, and she had always liked Schiller very much.
"Come here, little Schil." The vice president took Schiler to the table and said, "Mr. Hamilton just called me and wanted to confirm with me whether what the dean said about your great interest in computers is true."
Schiller looked up at her and said, "Of course, I've always been interested in computers, but the computers here are too old. If I take them apart, I might not be able to put them back together, so I don't dare to take them apart."
The deputy dean smiled happily and said, "I know you are a sensible child, but we shouldn't waste your talent here. If the Hamiltons want to adopt you, are you willing?"
Although Schiller wanted to nod immediately, in order not to show any abnormality, he still showed a hesitant expression and said: "It's good for me to stay here. Can't I stay here forever?"
"Oh, of course not. Although the teachers and staff of the orphanage will do their best to educate you, we can never replace your parents, so the most responsible thing to do for you is to find a good adoptive family for you."
"Don't be too sad, Xi'er. This is our common wish. If you leave here, you can come back and have a look. I don't understand these circuit components. Maybe I can still count on you. You will become a good scientist, right?"
Schiller nodded. He had always been relatively taciturn, so he didn't arouse suspicion by not speaking. The vice president touched his head and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton will come to visit tomorrow. I will introduce you to them. Don't be too nervous. They are all very kind people..."
The vice president gave many instructions, and Schiller remembered almost all of them. After all, he had never been through the adoption process before, and there were indeed many things he didn't know.
The Hamiltons had an older son, but he had been away from home studying and had not been home for a long time. The couple felt a little lonely, so they wanted to adopt a younger son. Originally, they liked another child in the orphanage, but now they obviously liked Schiller more.
The next day, the Hamiltons came to the orphanage. As Schiller expected, both of them had black hair. Schiller's advantage over the boy was that he also had black hair, and looked more like their biological child.
Moreover, Schiller showed many specialties corresponding to their professions. After talking with Schiller, they felt very satisfied and wanted to sign the adoption agreement almost immediately.
However, this orphanage is relatively professional and is aware that some couples may have been childless for too long and want to take a cute child home immediately upon seeing one. This may be impulsive, and adopting a child on impulse is not good for either party.
Therefore, no matter how much the adoptive parents like the child, they must wait a week before signing a formal adoption agreement. This week is a cooling-off period for them. After they are sure that they really like the child and have the ability to raise and educate them, they can sign a formal agreement.
Although Schiller wanted to finish the story as quickly as possible, he had always been a taciturn person, and it was not easy for him to say that he was going to his new home right away. There was only a week left anyway, so he could just wait.
But if you wait, something bad will happen.
On the third day, the vice-dean suddenly found Schiller in a hurry. He had a complicated expression on his face and kept staring at Schiller, which made Schiller a little confused.
"What's wrong, ma'am?" Schiller had to ask.
"No, it's nothing. You can't... Never mind. It's not your problem. I mean... um..."
"What happened?" Schiller asked puzzledly, looking at the vice president's confused and embarrassed expression. He really didn't understand what could go wrong.
"Well, I'm sorry, little Shil, the bad news is that the Hamiltons have given up on adopting you. The good news is that you have a new adopter, and we can't refuse him."
Schiller opened his mouth and asked, "Why? Why is this happening?"
The deputy dean thought he was hit hard and immediately hugged him and said, "Please believe me, it's not that the Hamiltons don't like you anymore, but someone found them before they signed the adoption agreement, discussed with them, and made them give up."
"The people who came to discuss this were the new adopters who wanted to adopt you. I heard that they saw your talent in computers and thought that only they could teach you well. After discussing this with the Hamiltons, both parties agreed."
"Now they asked me to ask you what you think, but I feel like… I mean, I know it's hurtful, and I'm not suggesting you say no at all."
The expression on the vice president's face was obviously very conflicted and a little painful, as if he had a lot to say but couldn't. After a few days of contact, Schiller was sure that the vice president was a good person and it was basically impossible to use benefits or coercion to make him say an answer against his will.
"Who is the person who wants to adopt me?"
"It's the Starks." The vice president held Schiller's arm and said, "They are outstanding scientists. Most importantly, they are very rich. They are well-known tycoons in the world."
"I know you may like the Hamiltons very much, but they are just ordinary scientists and their family conditions are not that good. But Stark is different. Stark is very, very rich..."
The vice president talked a lot, but finally fell silent. After a while, she looked into Schiller's eyes and said, "I know you may not understand the difference between the two now, but when you grow up, you will know that Stark will be a better choice."
"Of course, if you really don't want to, no one will force you, but I really hope you will agree. This is a rare opportunity." The deputy director's tone was a little hurried. She said, "Although many investors in this orphanage are famous wealthy people, they are not as good as Stark. Moreover, this is the first time that such a family is willing to adopt a child here. They can completely change your destiny. Even if you can only inherit a small amount of property in the future, you will have more money than you can spend in several lifetimes..."
Schiller didn't listen to the vice president's chatter at all. He was in a daze after hearing the name Stark.
No, wait a minute, why is it Stark?
Of course, he knew that the Stark of this era must be Howard Stark, Tony Stark's father, but didn't Howard already have a son named Tony? How did he come here to adopt him?
At this time, Schiller suddenly remembered that in most comic universes, Anthony Stark was not Howard Stark's biological son. On the contrary, he was Howard's adopted son.
The specific process is very complicated and involves aliens. Anyway, Howard has a biological son, but he cannot be raised with Howard. In order to protect his biological son, Howard adopted a foster son, Tony Stark.
In many comic universes, Tony Stark's biological father is named Jude, a Hydra.
But Schiller knew that Tony in the universe he was in was Howard's biological son. They looked very similar, and the relationship registered in the Death Realm was also blood relatives. There was no possibility of adoption. So why would Howard adopt him?
Wait a minute, Schiller suddenly thought, did the Starks also die at the hands of Hydra?
But it still doesn't work, because if Schiller was adopted by Howard Stark, he would definitely meet Tony Stark in advance, and the relationship between the two would change, affecting future events.
Schiller was about to refuse when someone knocked on the door and walked in, saying to the deputy dean, "Ma'am, the Stark family is here and is waiting for you downstairs."
"They are so impatient." The vice president complained, then turned to Schiller and said, "Well, it seems that we should first ..."
Schiller ran away.
If he heard correctly, the man just now was talking about the Stark family, which means Tony Stark is also here. He can't see Tony now, otherwise things will be messed up. If he doesn't run away now, when will he run away?
"Hey! Schiller... Schiller!!!"
Schiller turned a deaf ear to the deputy dean's shouts behind him.
"…Schiller!"
A familiar voice came, and Schiller had to stop.
He turned around and saw a young man with his arms folded, shouting a name he shouldn't have known with an expression he was very familiar with.
Remember this is a daily unit
