Following the press conference last night, Kingpin also launched his own internal force trading platform.
Once real-name authentication is completed, users can register their information and conduct internal energy transactions at designated locations in their city.
Then Americans saw on the website that the price of internal energy was skyrocketing at an insane rate.
The moment the website launched, the market price of a single strand of internal energy soared to $200, double the price Bai Ye had given as an example.
Two hours later, it rose to $230 per sliver...
Five hours later, it rose to $250 per sliver...
In just one day, the average trading price of internal energy reached $320.
Of course, compared to ordinary individual transactions, elderly celebrities who have verified their identities on the website need more inner strength at this time.
Bill Gates: $500 for a single strand of internal energy, acquisition of 365,000 strands of internal energy is now closed.
Steve Jobs: $700 for a single strand of internal energy, acquisition of 365,000 strands of internal energy is now closed.
Elizabeth: $1000 for every thread of internal energy; acquisition of 365,000 threads of internal energy is now closed.
At this moment, inside Stark Industries, Tony Stark sat calmly cross-legged on a yoga mat, meditating and cultivating his inner strength.
Beneath this building, the usually diligent office workers listened intently to their boss's instructions.
Chapter 97 Duplicity
Inside the Stark Industries building, the supervisor looked at the employees standing in front of him.
"You are all outstanding employees of Stark Industries, and now the company needs you."
“Mr. Stark is the core of our industry. Our company’s growth is entirely due to Stark’s intelligence and talent, and he needs more internal strength than anyone else in our company.”
"Now, put aside today's corporate orders. I require you to immediately cultivate your internal energy, and then collectively gather your internal energy to offer to our president."
"Of course, I won't ask you to contribute anything for nothing. The company will directly purchase your products at twice the market price."
“The entire Stark Industries has a total of 10 employees. Each person only needs to contribute a wisp of internal energy to the company. Taking into account losses, it is equivalent to the output of your twelve days of work.”
"If you can gather enough internal energy within twelve days, then these few days will be considered extra overtime for the company, and you will be paid triple wages."
Upon hearing what the supervisor said, the employees mentally calculated the money they had earned from twelve days of internal energy cultivation and gasped in shock.
I can earn at least $9000 in the next few days.
"Internal strength is a good way to make money," the employee thought to himself.
In the early stages of the internal energy industry, it was easy to make money in this blue ocean market. Once you've saved enough money, you can buy it back at a lower price when the price of internal energy drops.
Soon, a box of books was pushed in, and the supervisor clapped his hands and said, "Alright, these are genuine books that we purchased directly from the bookstore. Everyone take one and start practicing now."
Soon, seeing the employees step forward and pick up the books to study them seriously, the supervisor nodded in satisfaction.
Hearing his supervisor's words, one of his subordinates pondered for a moment and then asked with doubt:
"Manager, didn't the book say that the dantian's capacity is at most a thousand years? Ten strands of internal energy from one person would be enough to fill three dantians. Does the CEO really need that much internal energy?"
The supervisor rolled his eyes and then lectured him with a look of exasperation:
"Are you stupid? Our Stark Industries has more than one leader. Doesn't Mr. Obadiah need one? Besides, internal energy can be taken out separately, and any extra internal energy can be used as an annual outstanding employee reward."
Such an incident as that involving Stark Industries is certainly not an isolated case. Today, employees of many other companies have also been urgently summoned for reprimands, forced to immediately cultivate their inner strength and dedicate themselves to the company.
On numerous job recruitment websites, a new message has appeared: the company can make an exception for highly qualified talents and welcomes hardworking and dedicated employees.
Because internal energy has only been around for a short time, many changes have not yet occurred, but even the initial signs have already affected people's lives.
On Utopia Island, with a thunderous roar, Bai Ye landed smoothly.
Seeing the mutants on the island attracting attention from all around, Bai Ye waved his hand and threw Professor X and the others out of the space.
"I'm going to find Magneto now. You guys wait for me a bit." Bai Ye said, and the next moment his body became ethereal and disappeared into the ground, passing through the steel outer wall and entering the safe house.
Inside the room, Bai Ye's figure fell from the ceiling and landed on the floor.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Bai Ye return. Magneto asked, "How did things go? I saw that your identity was exposed, and Canada was also attacked by a nuclear bomb."
"It's alright, Professor X and the others have been rescued by me and are up there. They may be staying on your island for a while."
"Furthermore, I have already reached an agreement with S.H.I.E.L.D. that there is no risk of war for the time being. At most, the humans will know that I am a mutant."
Bai Ye directly revealed the concept of the Sentinel robots to everyone, making Magneto and Mystique's expressions extremely ugly.
Mystique, in particular, never imagined that the authorities would use her and Scarlet Devil's genes to create such a terrifying monster.
"What should we do next?" Magneto asked.
"What should we do? Just do as I said before and hold on." Bai Ye said, "I'll say it again, time is on my side. The longer it drags on, the greater my chances of winning will be."
"Give me just one more year, and I will change the entire landscape of the Earth," Bai Ye said confidently.
"Why do you insist on fighting against humanity?" At this moment, Chief George said from the side, "Can't we try to reconcile?"
As soon as he said this, all eyes turned to him, and the mutant's hostile gaze put George under immense pressure.
"Do you think we don't want to reconcile?" Mystique retorted sarcastically. "If it weren't for Bai's intervention this time, all the mutants would have been killed by Stryker. Why don't you go down and reconcile with him?"
"Director, I didn't say we couldn't reconcile," Bai Ye reassured him. "It just requires us to reconcile according to my method. Don't worry, I'm only overthrowing the upper echelons of power; the middle and lower levels won't be affected... I should be."
'You might as well be a little firmer,' George thought to himself, then asked, 'So what do we do? Are we just to stay here and be imprisoned by you?'
"Of course not. Now that things are resolved, I will send you back," Bai Ye said. "However, I hope you will keep this place a secret."
"You'd believe me if I said I'd keep it a secret?" George asked.
"Of course I believe you. My relationship with both of your families is so close," Bai Ye said with a smile.
'I don't believe it at all. Your professional ethics are too strong. You might inform on the government at any time,' Bai Ye thought to himself.
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who would turn on you and imprison you after being exposed? Please, you're thinking too badly of me, okay?" Bai Ye's face showed a hurt expression of being wronged.
'That's right, that's the kind of person I am,' Bai Ye thought to himself.
"Even for Gwen's sake, I will release you all unconditionally, but I hope you will not tell anyone else about what happened today."
Bai Ye looked at Gwen's family and said with utmost sincerity, "I trust you so much, and I hope you won't let me down."
'Just kidding, Professor X is on my side. Once we're out of the safe house, I'll have him give you all a divine hint. Inform me? You'll be lucky if he doesn't brainwash you all into becoming my people,' Bai Ye thought to himself.
The Gwen family, unaware of Bai Ye's true feelings, were somewhat moved, surprised that Bai Ye was actually a decent person.
Gwen, who was initially filled with resentment towards Camilla and other women, began to hesitate: 'Could it be that Bai Ye truly loves me?'
“This won’t do!” Magneto, who was standing nearby, immediately stepped forward when he heard that Bai Ye was going to let them go. “Humans are all untrustworthy. I was betrayed once because I saved someone.”
"Stop talking, I've made up my mind. I believe he won't let me down," Bai Ye said firmly.
Magneto: "Bai Ye, you'll regret this."
Chapter 98 The Difference with Magneto
On the scene, Magneto looked at Bai Ye and thought his boss was confused; how could he make such a mistake?
If George's family were placed in the human world, they would be a huge time bomb.
In the past, when he wanted to retire to the mountains, he used his superpowers to save a coworker, which resulted in him being reported and causing his wife's tragic death.
I originally thought that Bai Ye was the future Magneto of mutants, and I absolutely couldn't let Bai Ye fall into Charles's old trap.
With this thought in mind, Magneto's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and the steel balls swirling in his hands transformed into two rapidly moving trajectories that shot towards the foreheads of George and Hela.
The launched steel ball pierced the air, its terrifying kinetic energy capable of easily piercing a human's fragile skull, but it was intercepted by Bai Ye's palm before it could reach it.
Seeing Bai Ye standing in front of them, a wave of intense fear washed over the Gwen family.
They just had a brush with death.
“Eric, I think you should respect my decision.” Holding the deformed steel ball, Bai Ye stepped forward and stared directly at Eric with displeasure.
He never imagined that his words to Gwen's family would also entangle Magneto.
As the New York Police Commissioner, George couldn't be imprisoned here indefinitely. Anyway, with Professor X's psychological suggestion, it wouldn't matter if his family went back.
At the same time, this incident also made Bai Ye realize the uncontrollability of this group of terrorists. They always acted on their own assumptions and always thought of acting first and asking questions later.
"You guys go up first, Eric and I will talk alone," Bai Ye said to the others.
After everyone else left, he looked at Magneto.
"If you want me to improve the environment for mutants, you should also consider me."
Bai Ye placed the steel ball back into Magneto's palm: "You were too hasty. Your actions just now didn't solve the problem for me, but instead made me your enemy."
“That’s because your behavior is obviously…” Magneto was about to say when he was immediately interrupted by Bai Ye.
“That’s no excuse for ignoring my decision and making your own choice.” Bai Ye emphasized.
"They're just a few ordinary people. There are plenty of ways to control them. Charles is still sitting up there."
"What I want to tell you is that every decision I make is carefully considered. Even if there are problems, you should consult me privately before taking action, instead of embarrassing me in public."
“My God, in this respect, you are not even as good as Gwen. At least after she found out I was cheating, she did not make a scene immediately, but waited quietly for my explanation.”
With an incredulous expression, Bai Ye said, "Are you asking me to say in front of Gwen's family, 'Oh, it's okay, you can leave because I'm going to let Charles mind control you in a bit?'"
Magneto's face twitched, but he didn't refute it.
“Eric, if you really want to cooperate with me, I hope this won’t happen again,” Bai Ye said sternly, then gently patted Magneto on the shoulder before walking past him and heading upstairs.
Opening the blast door of the safe house, Bai Ye smiled and said, "OK, everything is settled. I'll send you back now, and then we'll act like nothing happened. You just need to keep it a secret."
"As for the bureau chief, you may need to work with your subordinates to come up with a suitable reason to cover up the fact that you were absent from work for half a day without cause."
"I'm so sorry to have taken up half your time, Gwen. I'll find some time later to talk to you privately."
Bai Ye walked briskly to George's side, took Gwen's family into the void, and then looked at Professor X beside him and said, "I need you to do a few things for me."
……
Half an hour later, after escorting the unsuspecting Gwen family and Camilla back to New York City, Bai Ye went straight to the Value Line Corporation headquarters to find Kingpin.
“Mr. Bai, the internet is full of discussions about your mutant identity,” Kingpin said, looking at Bai Ye who had suddenly appeared.
Before this, he had called Bai Ye several times, but no one answered.
