Chapter 1570: Rare talents, special gifts
Bob was seeking all possible assistance for the safety of his life. After hearing what he said, Stark realized his omissions in this regard.
He was only concerned about finding a suitable candidate, but he did not expect that the candidate might encounter under such conditions. This was really a bit unsatisfactory.
Of course, in this case, he could completely ignore Bob and send him over in a perfunctory manner. But he did not intend to do so. The reason is very simple, that is, Bob's value is worth his investment in enough energy.
Although Bob is an otaku, literary works cannot help the world, and martial arts cannot make a decision. But from a certain perspective, he was selected by Stark from tens of thousands of agents, and he can truly be regarded as a talent for the word "one in tens of thousands".
As for why I say so? This is mainly related to the conditions proposed by Peter.
In principle, Peter was willing to give in and accept Stark's supervision and control. But his request was that the supervisors specified by Stark could withstand the test of the Ghost Rider. What was the test of the Ghost Rider?
As long as you have a little understanding of these guys, you will know that the so-called test is simply to accept the judgment of the evil spirit knight on sin. In other words, it means that as long as Stark does not want to die a supervisor, he can only choose those innocent and kind-hearted people to take on this position.
This sounds simple, but it is not that easy to do. Because to find such a person in the intelligence system and government departments, and who is capable of taking on this position, to some extent, is actually no different from finding a needle in the sea.
You should know that the Ghost Riders’ judgment of sin is not based on the law. They have their own review mechanism, and under this mechanism, many problems that seem not serious may lead to a fatal result. For example, corruption, such as fraud, as long as it directly or indirectly leads to some serious consequences, it is basically impossible to escape death.
From this standard, Stark's subordinates are basically not going to end up being qualified to take on this position.
Because really qualified agents have basically been stained with blood in their hands, even those who manage intelligence and weapons research have more or less indirectly hurt others. This is enough to kill them. If this requirement is placed on the government department, their situation will not be much better.
In the government bureaucratic system, almost no one can ask himself if he has done nothing wrong. This is the most common situation, and there are very few exceptions. Even if there is, it is not because he is noble, but because he lacks personal abilities and does not know how to use his power for personal gain.
To be honest, the most basic principle of a successful politician is to speak well and do things well. If you can do these two things, if you want to use the power in your hands to get benefits, it is as easy as paying money in your own wallet. And even if you find such a thing, it is actually harmless.
After all, it is not to get a salary of hundreds of dollars a week for people to do what they have done, use their power for personal gain, take more and less, that is completely their ability. In most cases, the ruling class will turn a blind eye to such things. If they really startle them, then it can only be said that these people are too greedy. In other words, people who dare to be greedy are really not successful politicians.
With such a general atmosphere in government departments, it is naturally unlikely to find any clean people from this. Even if they really find it, Stark would doubt whether such a person can take on such responsibilities.
After all, a fool who can't even control power and can't even seek personal gain. Whether his abilities are high or low is simply a clear idea.
If possible, Stark certainly wants to find a mature politician. After all, only politicians know how to get the greatest benefit. Only politicians can achieve the most ideal level in their hearts. But unfortunately, the Ghost Rider's petty scruple in this regard prevented him from constantly thinking about this. If he sends such a politician, he will probably be able to handle his funeral as soon as he comes to the door.
This is a waste of valuable resources. Judging from the current American family background, Stark cannot withstand such waste. So he can only select people from some strange departments. With this choice, Bob, the ideal candidate, was naturally placed in front of him.
He has high IQ and has five doctoral degrees. He is capable. Although he is suspected of being cheating, he has always handled things in his business in an orderly manner and not messy at all.
After experiencing complete agent training, except for the poor actual results, the others are basically on the passing line.
The most important point is that he is as clean as a piece of white paper, and he can be said to be the cleanest person in the entire American intelligence system.
That's right, although it sounds a bit ridiculous. But Bob is indeed the cleanest, and of course, not the only one.
As an agent, Bob was summoned as a research talent and never did anything like a field fight. As a researcher, due to his unqualified work attitude, he had never been exposed to those destructive research projects. In addition, the intelligence work he did after becoming a logistics manager was mostly archived and submitted, so to some extent, he was so clean that he was simply not as clean as an agent.
Such an agent who doesn't look like an agent is placed in front of Peter Parker. I believe that even if Peter has any opinions about him, there is probably no reason for an attack. Of course, this is not completely safe, because Stark dares not be completely sure what kind of person Bob will be in his private life.
If he was a morbid guy in private, then the result would probably not be too optimistic. However, after some investigation, Stark had already put aside this unnecessary worry. Because he found that as an otaku, Bob really put the word harmlessness to the limit. After living for twenty-six years, he not only never fought, but even made friends with girls. He had never even experienced a fist. He was still a virgin fat man at the age of 25 or 26. If such a person is guilty, then the world should be really over.
This is why Stark chose Bob to take this position. Because among all qualified candidates, he is the cleanest and most capable. If he doesn't want to choose from those cleaning staff and grassroots workers to make up for the numbers, then Bob is his only suitable choice.
Such a person is as small as a treasure. Of course, Stark should take into account his life safety with a little cherishing attitude. Thinking of this, he pondered for a while, and then said to Bob.
"You do need some self-protection. But I think you also know that judging from the current situation, the government is not suitable for you to provide you with any excessive assistance. I cannot take any risk of exposing this action because of your relationship, so I cannot provide you with either personnel or weapons support. However, I cannot just let you go to die without any hand."
"So that's the case. I'll give you a set of steel armor in my personal name. At the same time, I'll open some of the AI permissions to you. I believe that with your achievements in this regard, you should be able to deal with possible dangers."
hat? At first hearing this, Bob immediately felt like he was dreaming. You know, it was the Iron Armor, the big toy that Iron Man Tony Stark relied on to become famous. He could become a superhero because these big toys were used to support him. Even it was not just him, including Colonel James Rhodes, who had already sacrificed the war machine. He was able to become a member of the superhero under the nickname of the war machine because Tony Stark gave him his toy.
Now Tony Stark actually said that he would give himself a set of steel armor. Doesn’t this mean that the important task of maintaining world peace will fall on him. Will he be able to show off as a superhero in the future?
Although even Bob himself knew that his idea was a bit too secondary and too unrealistic. But he couldn't help but want to imagine in this direction. He is an otaku, so it's normal to have such daydreams, right?
Of course, Stark could not do such a thing as letting go without giving any restrictions. So after giving this statement, he already said in a supplementary manner.
"Of course, I think you should also understand that I give you steel armor not to make you do whatever you want, but to protect yourself. Therefore, I will also impose certain restrictions on the use of this steel armor. Every time you want to use steel armor, you must go through the judgment of artificial intelligence. In other words, as long as it is artificial intelligence to judge what you cannot do, you can do nothing even if you want to do it. And if you dare to violate this regulation, then the steel armor I gave you is the best cage to imprison you. You should be able to understand if I do this."
"Of course, of course. I can understand."
The answer was already beyond expectations, so even if there was any restriction, he no longer cared about it. The only question he was concerned about now was when he could get such a treasure. And because of this psychological urgency, he almost rushed to ask Stark.
