There is a saying that is often used to describe people who are short-sighted, and it is called "seeing small gains and forgetting their true meaning." The word "petty profit" also has a very obvious derogatory meaning.
But the fact is that the vast majority of human beings are very easily bribed by small profits, and the essence is that when most things in an environment are satisfactory, they will instinctively relax and do nothing to please others.
The behavior is essentially creating such an environment, or at least creating such an illusion.
Letting people know they are safe is the first step to opening their hearts, letting people feel cared for is the second step, and letting people feel understood is the third step. This is also a method commonly used by psychopaths to create a safe environment.
People always wonder why there are so many people who cannot see through the true nature of scumbag men and scumbag women, and even think that they are stupid people who are good for themselves. But in fact, the people who are deceived are not stupid. This is because most people cannot resist a person.
I will do my best to please you by being humble and petty.
Even if it doesn't work once or ten times, they can try a hundred times a thousand times, and you will always be impressed once. And as long as this safe environment is created well, no matter how big the damage is in the future, it will always make you happy.
The victim recalled this safe, warm and comfortable environment that he had never seen before, and would even take the initiative to find reasons for the other person's sudden change in temperament.
In fact, there is no big change in temperament at all. The initial gentleness is just to create a safe environment. No one can say that they will never be fooled by such people.
Schiller knew when he entered the breakfast room that Ultimate Iron Man not only wanted to take this step, he also wanted to dance a tango in this area.
Sure enough, he was so excited that he had no time to reflect on whether there were any flaws in what he said yesterday. Instead, he planned to do more to lay a solid foundation.
Schiller stepped forward and shook hands with an alien whose appearance was not much different from that of a human. He recognized that he was the logistics manager of the Royal Chamber of Commerce of the Shi'ar Empire in charge of regional trade in the Star Ring region. He was an absolutely big shot.
The Ultimate Iron Man immediately came over with a smile, patted Schiller's arm and said: "Ms. Natch and I met at yesterday's dance. I originally wanted to introduce you to him, but I didn't expect that she was mentioned by a certain royal family.
I’ve heard of you.”
Schiller said a few words of humility, and then the three of them stayed polite for a while, introduced each other's background, and then walked to the table next to them to have breakfast and talk.
Mainly because Schiller was chatting with Mrs. Natch about the current situation of the Ring Sector. Seeing that it was almost time, the Ultimate Iron Man spoke up and said, "To be honest with you, madam, Dr. Schiller has stayed here for so long this time.
, I also encountered some troubles..."
The Ultimate Iron Man briefly introduced Schiller's situation. Mrs. Natch did not smile and deal with it like other aliens, but asked seriously: "Are you sure he was hit by a disc-shaped flying saucer?"
It was taken?"
This is just a background story made up by Schiller, citing mankind's most famous alien flying saucer theory, but looking at Mrs. Natch's expression, it seems that such a thing is really happening.
Mrs. Natch shook her head and said: "This is actually a bit troublesome. I seem to have heard of this kind of flying saucer, but I'm not sure. I can only tell you that there is a company called Red Linghua on the main star of Centauri.
The tavern there may have better information."
Schiller immediately showed a grateful expression, and the three of them chatted politely for a while. Looking at the look on the face of the Ultimate Iron Man, Schiller knew that the heat was almost over.
After Mrs. Natch left, Schiller hurriedly ran to the room. The Ultimate Iron Man did not catch up with him at all. Looking at Schiller's leaving figure, the Ultimate Iron Man's face darkened.
After a while, the Ultimate Iron Man came to Schiller's room and found that Schiller was packing his luggage. When Schiller saw him coming, he packed his things and said, "Thank you very much. This is my latest trip."
The most useful clue I've had in a while."
"People often say that opportunities are fleeting, so I have to rush over quickly. I will not forget your kindness, but I will tell you in detail when I come back." Schiller said very gratefully.
But what Ultimate Iron Man wants isn't gratitude.
He knew that this step was a good step, but it did not achieve the effect he wanted at all. Schiller's focus was not on his help and friendship at all, he only wanted to find his brother.
This is not good news. The Ultimate Iron Man knows very well that if Schiller and his brother have a closer emotional bond, and the two of them meet again after a long separation, then it will not be possible even with all his strength.
Get in between them.
At the same time, a person's emotional support can only be one other person, and there cannot be more. If he wants to gain the powerful abilities of these two brothers, he must find a way to become their only emotional support, rather than letting them
They rely on each other.
So Ultimate Iron Man said: "Congratulations, Doctor Schiller, but do you really want to go to Centauri now?"
Schiller looked up at him in confusion, and the Ultimate Iron Man cleared his throat and said: "It's a good thing to have clues, but from Mrs. Natch's vague tone, you should be able to guess that the person who kidnapped your brother is probably a very powerful person.
The enemy, are you sure you can rescue him?"
Schiller looked hesitant.
"And after so many years, if your brother is still alive, he may have already started a family on another planet. Your sudden appearance like this is likely to disrupt his existing rhythm of life, and he may not want to return to Earth.
.”
"You also have to consider that your superhero friends may not want such a powerful mutant to return to the earth. Maybe even the mutants themselves are the same. If there are people who don't welcome him, do you still want to start a war?
?”
Schiller showed an expression of sadness and disbelief.
But he actually said in his heart: "It's coming, it's coming, it's the necessary step after showing care, pour cold water on it, it's coming."
Many people will think that the so-called PUA is actually constant suppression and denying the existence value of the victim, but this is not the essence. As the saying goes, the essence of manipulation is love.
You must first let the other person feel your love, and then suppression and denial can take advantage of it without arousing the alertness of the person's self-protection mechanism.
After establishing a safe and warm environment for the other party, people will instinctively relax their protective mechanisms and open their hearts.
There is experimental evidence that people are more willing to think about things in a positive direction when their lives are going well, but when they encounter difficulties, they inevitably look at things with a pessimistic and skeptical attitude.
Therefore, in a safe and comfortable environment, certain words of suppression and denial will sound very much like sincere suggestions. Of course, denial alone is not enough. "Pour cold water on" is immediately followed by "I am also doing it for your own good", and
The real map of Yan State "I am gentle, calm and smart, but you are clumsy, reckless and stupid".
"Schiller, I think we are the same kind, so I really hope I can be of help. I advise you not to go to Centauri yet. I don't want to separate your flesh and blood, but I am simply considering your situation."
"Your brother and you have been separated for so many years. Even if there is still some family affection, it is definitely not as good as the friends and relatives you spend day and night with. Now you find him rashly and tell him that the universe is going to be destroyed, so I came to find you.
Help, doesn’t that sound a lot like taking advantage?”
"Your brother may not think that you went through all the hard work to finally find him. He will only think that you didn't look for him when you didn't need him. When disaster strikes, he will think of him. You miss him."
Family ties should not be misunderstood like this."
"Even if you bring him back to Earth, your superhero friends will think that we have been with you day and night for so long, but you don't listen to our opinions and insist on bringing a dangerous person back to our home. Isn't this also damaging?
Has it affected the friendship between you?"
"I understand that mutants themselves are not united. No matter which faction you belong to, all factions must consider the impact that your brothers joining forces may have on the current situation. If they have a grudge in the future, your situation will also be
Very embarrassing.”
The Ultimate Iron Man walked into the room and sat side by side with Schiller on the edge of his bed. He put a hand on Schiller's shoulder and said: "Of course I understand. You have been separated for so long and you can't wait."
If we want to see each other, we have a long way to go, and we have to make plans for the future, right?"
Schiller seemed to have suddenly calmed down. He took a deep breath and sighed. He turned to look at the Ultimate Iron Man and said, "You are right. I was a little impulsive. Thank you very much, Tony.
Not only did you help me find clues about Owen, you also helped me avoid a lot of trouble in the future."
A flash of ecstasy immediately flashed in Ultimate Iron Man's eyes. Schiller called him Tony for the first time, and I'm afraid he had called his friend the hero Iron Man this way before. It was also the first time that he revealed his brother's name.
This is a sign that he is demonstrating trust.
The Ultimate Iron Man sighed as if he was relieved and said: "You scared me a bit. When I just met you, I thought you were a gentle doctor. I didn't expect you to be more powerful than an agent. These
Haven't you ever gotten into any big trouble because of your impulsiveness?"
Schiller lowered his head and smiled sheepishly and said: "There are some troubles, but it's because other people tolerate me."
"Then you must have a pretty good circle of friends. Let me tell you, Dr. Schiller, you can't be so impulsive in this situation. All alien races are watching."
"If nothing else, the farewell you said to Mrs. Naqi just now was a little rude. You were a little too anxious."
It came, it came, it came, Schiller thought in his mind, it was finally time to suppress and destroy his self-confidence.
So, he opened his eyes quite cooperatively, as if he didn't understand why Ultra Iron Man said that. Ultra Iron Man smiled and said: "This also makes me a little embarrassed. After all, I was the one who invited Mrs. Natch here.
, I’m afraid she won’t invite me to the dance in the future.”
"God, I'm really sorry." Schiller deliberately raised his voice a little, weighing the degree of emotional expression in his mind, and then said: "I don't know, I might... I might be a little too anxious."
"It's okay." Ultimate Iron Man quickly comforted: "She is a very generous lady. I was just joking just now, but please don't do it again. It will be bad if someone catches you.
.”
Schiller nodded, making an expression as if he had taken Ultra Iron Man's words into his heart as a suggestion.
Seeing that Ultimate Iron Man showed his well-hidden satisfied expression again, Schiller smiled in his heart.
Early the next morning, when Ultimate Iron Man saw Schiller in the breakfast room, he found that his face was pale and he looked tired, as if he hadn't slept all night.
Schiller came over, gave the Ultimate Iron Man a wry smile and said, "Sorry, I look a little bad. I didn't sleep all night last night and kept thinking about what you said."
"I have to thank you again, and I also have to apologize to you. I was really too anxious before and didn't consider your feelings."
The Ultimate Iron Man suddenly felt an extreme joy explode in his mind. The wailing of the prey's ankles caught in the trap was like the most wonderful fairy music. The thick smell of blood triggered an even more intense hunger. The Ultimate Iron Man
Xia could hardly suppress the blood-thirsty cry in his heart. He knew that the time had come to close the net.
But there was only a small wave in Schiller's heart. His threshold had already been raised too high. This scene could no longer give him any effective stimulation, but looking at Ultimate Iron Man's almost uncontrollable excitement
Excited, he also knew that it was time to close the net.
