Chapter 2643 Hollywood Rhapsody (I)
Late spring in New York is neither hot nor cold. It is the warmest time of the year, with spring scenery everywhere.
The early morning light was gently smoothed by the thin curtains, and when it was sprinkled into the kitchen, it had turned into shallow spots of light, floating gently with the breeze that blew the curtains. The white ground seemed like a pool of spring water, with floating light and still shadows.
With two drips, a hand picked up the coffee cup under the coffee machine. The rising hot steam was blown away by the cool morning breeze, and the water droplets after washing the face were blown into refreshing coolness. Schiller drank a cup of espresso in one breath and let out a long sigh of satisfaction.
The matter in the Himalayas has come to an end for the time being. The cultivation of magical fungi will be a slow process. Now the fungus man, Pamela, the wizards and the scientific research team are watching there. Schiller returned to New York with nothing to do.
New York Presbyterian Hospital wanted him to return to work again, but the students Schiller had supervised there before had already spent enough time there, and most of them stayed in the hospital after graduation, so the shortage of staff was not so serious.
Schiller decided to give himself a vacation.
This is a major decision, because what controls this body now is greed, and the words "holiday" and "greed" put together are so ridiculous that they are laughable.
But Schiller still decided to take a vacation, because he had never taken a vacation before and didn't know how ordinary people took a vacation. But it didn't matter, didn't Arrogant also know how to clean the house?
Although Greedy was sleeping downstairs when Pride was moving, and he did not witness with his own eyes how Pride struggled with these trivial daily things, he could probably imagine it and believed that he would never be as embarrassed as him.
After all, moving is work, but taking a vacation means doing nothing. How can a person make mistakes if he does nothing? This is the simplest thing in the world.
Of course, Schiller had no intention of lying in his room. That would be too unconventional a way to take a vacation. Most Americans would choose to go on vacation after being busy for a while. Those with better conditions would go to major resorts, while those with less favorable conditions would go to another city to play for a few days.
Schiller feels that he is in a good position, so he has been looking at various world-class resorts.
Schiller originally planned to go to Hawaii. After all, it is a tourist destination for Americans. However, although he does not get seasick, he has no special interest in the sea. What's more, he is not good at fishing and has no interest in sunbathing on the beach. Apart from these, there is nothing else to do.
Schiller wanted to go back to China again. After all, there were air trains now, so traveling would definitely be easier. However, only after becoming a foreigner did he realize how troublesome it was to travel to China. The visa document requirements listed on the embassy’s official website stunned Schiller. He felt like he could hardly recognize Chinese characters.
According to Schiller, facial payment has now become fully popular in China, which means that you can go to the supermarket, pick up something and leave, and a special camera will recognize your face and deduct the money from your account.
If he wants to travel, he must first go to a website to enter his facial information, then open an account, and then bind the two together. Then, he must go to the US Embassy to submit a document to prevent the theft of facial models, and then lock his face and account separately. After reading the entire process, Schiller felt that it was unnecessary.
Next, Schiller began to consider traveling within the United States. He wanted to see the scenery of the West, but he didn't know which cities could really see the scenery of the West.
Just as Schiller began to search for information online, Ultron's voice sounded in his ears, "Doctor, there is a letter for you."
Schiller looked back and saw a robot vacuum cleaner lying on the ground, but he quickly turned back and said, "Okay, I'll check it out right away."
As he spoke, he opened his email interface, but soon Ultron's voice came from above his head again, "It's not an email, doctor. There's a letter for you in the mailbox at the door."
Schiller looked up and found that the surveillance camera was flashing red light at him and even winking at him with the light.
Schiller was slightly stunned, then stood up and said, "What era is this? How come people still put letters into mailboxes? I almost thought I had gone to that antique world."
"Who knows?" Ultron's voice came from the rice cooker next to him, and then the refrigerator also said: "When the automatic mail delivery robot came this morning, I was shocked. That thing was so ugly. I really don't know what the designer was thinking."
Schiller pushed open the door, and the electronic doorbell said to him: "Just ahead, I have opened the mailbox door for you."
Schiller walked over and saw that there was indeed a letter in the mailbox. It turned out that this mailbox was not just built for decoration, and people actually sent letters into it.
Schiller understood after taking out the letter. It was written in cursive English: "Mr. Stark and Miss Potts sincerely invite you to come - please give your blessing to our wedding."
The cell phone rang at the right time, and Schiller pressed the communication line on his wrist. Stark's mean expression was particularly obvious in the holographic projection.
"Did you receive my invitation? How is it? I told you I can handle everything!"
Schiller walked back with the invitations, saying, "You mean by taking care of everything about the wedding yourself, just sending out the invitations first?"
"You don't understand. People like us prepare for weddings in years. Some people have to make arrangements at least two years in advance to spare two days to attend a wedding, so of course they have to send out invitations first. It will be too late to send them out a month before the wedding."
"Do you want it to be held before or after delivery?"
"After the birth, of course, maybe even after the baby learns to walk," Stark said. "Then he can give us flowers."
"Wouldn't that be too much work for Pepper?" Schiller sat back in front of his computer and continued browsing travel websites. "Your wedding must be a hassle, not something that is suitable for pregnant women."
"It's not like there are only two of us," Stark said. "There are also my parents and Obadiah. Jarvis and Wanda will also help. More importantly, we have a whole team of professional managers. Pepper only needs to choose her preferences."
"It sounds like something like The Real Housewives of New York City," Schiller said of the variety show. "I think she could go on it and do some good for you."
"Come on, she'll think I'm crazy." Stark said, "Although I think she will never lose in a confrontation with those wives, it's not good for a pregnant woman to get angry. Maria said I should take her out to relax."
Schiller said, "A proper vacation can also be good for your anxiety disorder. Do you have any ideas?"
"Considering that she is not very happy to be in front of me 24 hours a day, and I know that I will definitely annoy her, we finally decided to postpone the honeymoon trip."
Stark's tone was full of regret. After the initial anxiety, he was now left with only the joy and excitement of being a father for the first time. Schiller knew too well how destructive an overly excited Stark could be. It was probably because of this that Pepper rejected the honeymoon trip for just the two of them.
"It looks like we have a chance to take a vacation together." Schiller said, "I was planning to take a vacation recently. I was too busy recently. Now I get a headache whenever I hear the sirens of the ambulance at Presbyterian Hospital."
Stark immediately became alert and said, "Vacation? You? Don't be ridiculous. What do you want to do? Are you going to come up with another big plan to ruin everyone's trip?"
"I think you have misunderstood me, and I am very sorry about that." Schiller said with a sad face, but soon he added: "Of course, if you are willing to reimburse all the expenses of the trip, I will reluctantly forgive you this time."
Stark snorted coldly, and after a long silence, he said, "Are you really going to take a vacation? Just a normal vacation? Just lie around in the hotel for a long time like an ordinary person, go out for a stroll, and do nothing?"
"That doesn't sound bad," Schiller said, resting his head on one hand. "I've never lived like this. Is it fun?"
"Honestly, it's boring, but it's not bad to try it occasionally." Stark sighed softly and said, "And after you try it, you will know that it's better to stop."
Schiller laughed, closed the webpage, put down the computer and said, "Where are you going to hold the wedding? Maybe we can go check out the wedding venue in advance."
"Although islands like Hawaii are romantic, for safety reasons, it will be on the American continent." Stark replied: "The specific location has not been decided yet. I won't say more. The wedding team will have an online meeting with me. I guess the meeting will decide the location. I will tell you then."
Schiller sat on the sofa next to him and opened the invitation. As expected, there was basically nothing written on it, no time or place. It was more like a marriage notice than a wedding invitation, informing everyone that there might be a wedding in the next two years.
It sounds outrageous that they start sending out invitations before they even have a plan, but in fact it is not the case at all. At Stark's level, a wedding can be held in any occasion, but it is not just a simple wedding.
It is conceivable that celebrities from all over the world and even the universe will gather together. Congratulating the newlyweds is not the most important thing. The preparation and planning required for such a large occasion of interpersonal relationship flow is no less than that of a war.
Therefore, it is very important to announce a possible wedding one or two years in advance. People need to judge their main goals in this wedding based on their existing social situations, which areas of personal connections they want to expand first, and which forces they most want to achieve what strategic goals with. These cannot be studied in a day or two.
They would write back to Stark, and Stark would compile all the people who had written back to say they would attend into a guest list, which would then be mailed to everyone so they could further determine who would be attending the wedding.
In this way, they can contact each other in advance, use the topic of wedding to narrow the distance, and ultimately truly reach an exchange of interests at the wedding. It is even possible that one grand wedding may lead to several weddings, thus achieving a perfect cycle of interpersonal relationships.
Schiller believes that people from Asgard will definitely come to Stark's wedding, Thanos may also come, and people from the three empires will also come. In this case, the resulting exchange of interpersonal relationships will be too complicated. No wonder the wedding has to be held after the child learns to walk.
As for the location, Schiller did not think that Stark would hold the wedding somewhere outside the earth for the convenience of aliens. On the contrary, the starport in the solar system has been almost built and is fully capable of accommodating the docking of spacecraft from the three major empires. The wedding will definitely be held on Earth.
A safer choice is New York, but Schiller feels that Stark will not settle for mediocrity. Of course, the biggest problem is that New York is a bit too crowded. With a large number of guests, it is easy for various traffic jams to occur, which would be so embarrassing that it would be like being on an alien planet.
According to this theory, the East Coast is basically not a good choice because it is a densely populated area in the United States. The appearance of various aliens may cause panic among the people, which is not conducive to social stability.
Relatively speaking, the sparsely populated West Coast is a better choice. There are also many big cities there. Compared with the fast-paced East Coast cities, the city style is more romantic and relaxed. It is also the first choice for many people to travel and vacation.
However, if the city wants to accommodate so many alien guests, it will inevitably have to undergo a certain degree of transformation. In this case, a large city with certain administrative functions will not be enough. It would be best to have a city that is already keen on tourism and has a relatively large land area that can accept investment and transformation.
The name of a city flashed through Schiller's mind, and then the communicator rang twice. Schiller saw that the text message sent by Stark had the name of the city in his mind written on it - "Hollywood".
