The monk of the way of beauty

Chapter 213 Dispute

The unit price of a Tomahawk cruise missile is about 150 million U.S. dollars; the unit price of a "Patriot" missile is about 300 U.S. dollars, the unit price of an intercontinental ballistic missile is about 4000 million U.S. dollars, and the unit price of a "Trident" submarine-launched missile is about $7000 million.

一辆M1A2坦克单价约为500美元，一架黑鹰直升机单价约为600万美元，一架搭载响尾蛇导弹的F16战机造价为3000多万美元，F-22战机的造价单价约为2.9亿美元。

If it is really possible to spend tens of millions of dollars to cultivate a loyal B-level powerhouse, it will definitely be a good deal for Nick Fury.

You must know that agents above level 7 like Coulson and Melinda have an annual salary of more than one million dollars alone, and the resources invested by S.H.I.E.L.D. on them are definitely no less than several million. An elite gunslinger.

Of course, the rewards are also very significant. Each of these people here has the experience of killing B-level or even B+ level powerhouses, and even killed more than one A-level powerhouse. Similarly, the price is very heavy , I don’t know how many weapons and ammunition were consumed, and I don’t know how many elite agents died on it.

This is why Nick Fury wants to form the Avengers. To deal with superpowers, only superpowers are the most suitable.

In order to encircle and suppress the Hulk Bruce Banner, General Ross used several helicopters, a dozen tanks, and countless bullets and shells, but in the end, Bruce Banner still escaped without seeing anyone.

And if more superpowers can be cultivated through Ling Xiao, even if it takes more than ten years and an income of tens of millions of dollars, it is definitely worth it. After all, the superpowers that belong to S.H.I.E.L.D. Or, at least, the Security Council will have a much happier time appropriating funds.

We must know that William Stryker spent at least tens of millions of dollars on the study of mutants, but in the end, it was not in vain.

Seeing that Nick Fury was really thinking about the feasibility of this plan, Melinda couldn't help but shook her head and said, "Director, things are not that easy, there are still many hidden secrets in it."

Nick Fury frowned. Although he had been in touch with a lot of things in the Eastern Continent, in terms of understanding, he was still not as good as Mei, who was born in China.

I only heard Melinda say with a serious face: "If you want to cultivate, it is best to start from childhood, preferably Chinese, so that it will be easier to accept the exercises. Because it is a child, Aegis The bureau has little influence on them, relatively, it is much easier for Ling Xiao to exert influence on them."

Seeing that everyone's expressions became serious, Melinda continued: "You must know that in Eastern culture, if you want to learn other people's kung fu, you must learn from a master. to something serious."

"Learning from others, you should be called a teacher." Hill said something rare.

"It's not that simple." Melinda couldn't help showing a wry smile on her face, and explained in a low voice: "In oriental culture, the world pays attention to the monarch, relatives and teachers. This is especially the case in martial arts. As an apprentice, you must not only obey your teacher's words, but also take care of your teacher until the end of your life when the teacher is old, and even stand up when someone troubles you. If you can’t do this, you won’t get the teacher’s true biography at all.”

"You mean, if we send people to learn from Ling Xiao, it is very likely that these people will put his interests above S.H.I.E.L.D.." Nick Fury frowned tightly. Trouble, once Ling Xiao and the SHIELD people conflict, then those people are likely to stand on Ling Xiao's standpoint and fight against SHIELD.

Taking a deep breath, Melinda said with a worried expression on her face: "In the world of oriental martial arts, masters habitually keep their skills, and even leave flaws in the exercises that only they can see. Once an apprentice Rebellion will also ensure that there are sufficient means of restraint in hand. Those on the evil path are more direct, leaving enough means of control on the apprentices when they are studying, especially those pharmacists, all kinds of means are even more sensational."

"So, don't you suggest that we send someone to study with Ling Xiao?" Natasha raised her eyebrows and stared straight at Melinda.

"No, actually I support sending someone there." Melinda's answer was beyond everyone's expectations, and she said seriously: "If Ling Xiao is really what Thor said If he is a descendant of the Eastern Immortal Clan, then we must send someone to learn from him."

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Melinda shook her head and explained: "What I said earlier was the martial art that still exists in the Eastern Continent. Even if this kind of person spends tens of millions of dollars to train a dozen In the beginning of the year, most of them possessed C-level strength, even in the east, there are only a few fighters with B-level strength, and as for A-level, I have only heard of one or two people in the past hundred years."

"C-level, is there only C-level strength?" Nick Fury couldn't help interrupting Melinda's words. His own cognition obviously deviated from Melinda's before.

"If Ling Xiao is really willing to train with all his heart, maybe one and a half of them will break through the C level and become a B-level strongman.

Although Melinda said so, she was not optimistic about it. She sighed, and she continued: "Of course, this is only in terms of martial arts. If Ling Xiao is really a descendant of the fairy clan, no, in the east, Generally, it is more accurate to become an immortal cultivator or a Qi trainer.

If Ling Xiao is really a cultivator, then his strength is likely to increase a lot in the future. It is not difficult to break through the B+ level and become an A-level strongman. An S-rank powerhouse like the professor.Therefore, it is very necessary for us to invest in advance, so that Ling Xiao can stand on our side in the future. "

"Oh!" Melinda's words made Nick Fury start to think seriously. A strong man who is likely to be an S-rank in the future, either start to win him now, or kill him in advance.

But in this case, obliterating him is not the best choice, especially under the premise that the gods of Asgard have just visited the earth.

"I think you have overlooked a problem from the beginning to the end." Barton, who was sitting behind Natasha, finally couldn't help but said: "Whether Ling Xiao is willing to help S.H.I.E.L.D. It is likely to turn against his manpower in the future."

The entire meeting room fell silent after Barton said a word, and while everyone looked at each other, they couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

S.H.I.E.L.D. is used to its own strength, and they never thought about Ling Xiao's refusal to help them train manpower. In their minds, it was nothing more than a question of how much they would pay and how much they could gain. But if Ling Xiao really refused directly, there would be no chance at all. If you don't give it, it will be really embarrassing.

"I don't think he will refuse." Natasha said suddenly: "According to Melinda, if Ling Xiao wants to continue to grow his strength, he will definitely need more resources, that is to say, more resources will be needed." Money. In addition, I have also been in contact with Ling Xiao. This man has the common weakness of ordinary men, and he likes beautiful women. As far as I know, he has a woman in Los Angeles and New York, and he has ambiguous relationships with several women. It is not impossible to make several targeted plans.”

"This matter is not urgent!" Nick Fury waved his hand and stopped letting Natasha talk about it. It's fine to talk about this kind of thing in private, and it's always embarrassing to get it on the stage.Nick Fury turned his head to look at Melinda, and said in a deep voice: "Mei, I know you don't want to get involved in front-line cases now, so I'll leave this matter to you, and select some suitable personnel to come out at the appropriate time." I will tell Ling Xiao about it when the time comes."

"It's the director!" Melinda pondered for a while, but nodded in response.
