[Victor: Brother, I have three requirements for the special medicine. The core technology must be difficult to replicate, it must be suitable for assembly line production, and the cost cannot be too high. No problem, right?]
[Royce: What problem could there be? Leave it to your big brother, it'll be handled perfectly.]
[Victor: Then I'll trouble you. As for the price, we'll go by the actual cost. After all, this is a long-term cooperation, and I can't always let you lose money, right?]
[Royce: Oh, no loss, no loss at all. You've shown your big brother a good path, little brother. If the Platform didn't disallow it, I'd give it to you for free.]
[Royce: By the way, little brother, your Planar Merchant Rank has increased. After completing the first promotion mission, it's time to build your team, right? Wait, I'll put some new items on the shelves.]
About ten seconds later, the other side sent three item names. Clicking on them would bring up the item information.

This stuff… is a bit strong!
The a-virus enhancement fluid is only 5 plane points more expensive than the t-virus · Harmless · Basic Version used for Norman, but its effect is 1 to 2 times the adult Peak, not a constant adult Peak.
No matter how you calculate the item price, the difference shouldn't be so small.
So it's very likely that... every Planar Merchant, when acquiring items from their own Planar, uses 'currency valuation' in the price field, not 'item selling price'.
The former is the valuation given by the Platform, which is the lowest price.
The latter is the price set by the merchant, which is the authority of a Rank 3 merchant — Victor, currently only a Rank 1 merchant, would automatically have a 10% plane points markup if he put items up for sale.
The number of vouchers cannot be modified by merchants of any Rank.
The fact that this A-Virus is only 5 plane points more than the t-virus, but its efficacy is so much stronger, can only have one explanation: Royce is listing it at the lowest price, which is the Platform's valuation.
Tsk tsk.
He's really sincere.
Victor really couldn't refuse this item.
His subsequent plans require this kind of biochemical agent for rapidly cultivating warriors, to cooperate with the military, thereby increasing his influence to achieve certain goals.
The original plan was to buy the formula for the t-virus · Harmless · Basic Version.
But the t-virus is Royce's fundamental product, so it was really difficult to ask for the formula.
Now it's good, there's a better choice.
However.
He couldn't refuse the item, but he could decline the good intentions. With his 'diamond mine', what kind of person would he be to take advantage of others?
[Victor: Brother, I do need this A-Virus series, but I can't take advantage of you. The price will be based on the finished product's selling price.]
[Royce: Oh, it's fine, it's fine. It's just something my subordinates researched haphazardly, it's not worth much.]
There was nothing he could do. He was forcing me to act cool.
[Victor: There are plenty of mines in my Planar, I'm not short on money. Discounted items can't reflect my status!]
The other side instantly fell silent.
After the chat box was quiet for about ten seconds, it started refreshing again.
[Royce: Little brother, what you said is amazing, I admire you, I admire you!]
[Royce: If only we could meet, otherwise your big brother here could have a good drink with you.]
[Royce: Alright, the price for the A-Virus series hasn't been agreed upon yet. If there's nothing else, your big brother here will go and discuss it with his think tank.]
Oh wow, this is impressive.
He even has his own think tank? Is it that formal?
While marveling, the text was sent without delay.
[Victor: Brother, wait! I have another deal.]
[Victor: Since you're handling the special medicine, you might as well design the medical pod as well. It needs network connectivity, identity recognition and storage, diagnosis of physical condition, injection of special medicine, and also some space reserved for me to install an x-gene detection System.]
This time, the other side didn't answer immediately, probably asking his subordinates if they could complete these functions.
About a minute later.
[Royce: The medical pod is no problem, it's easy. We'll go with the lowest price.]
[Royce: Don't be polite with your big brother this time. It just so happens that it can be bundled into the terminator of terminal illness series. You really are thoughtful, little brother.]
[Royce: Anything else? If not, your big brother here is going to be busy now, full of drive!]
This personality, definitely a Northeastern man.
After a friendly farewell with Royce, Victor looked at the bright moonlight in the sky, his thoughts continuing to wander.
What should he do next?
As for going out to do heroic deeds, he would wait until his Bloodline was strengthened, so he wouldn't capsize in a ditch.
Besides, he had just gotten a foothold, and S.H.I.E.L.D. must still be watching him. It was not advisable to act too abnormally.
The matter of cooperating with the military with the A-Virus was also not urgent. He wasn't in a hurry for influence right now.
This was a trump card that needed to be played at the right time, allowing him to gain many benefits that he normally couldn't obtain at the beginning of negotiations.
The special medicine for aids hadn't arrived yet, so it was unclear what equipment was needed for production, but he could first set up a company. Having his own subordinates would also make things easier.
Currently, he only had Felicia, and many things couldn't be carried out.
As for Norman Osborn's Osborn Group?
Forget it.
Norman only held 34% of the shares. Although he was the largest shareholder of the Group, he didn't have controlling power. Giving this sure-win business to Osborn would not only mean sharing money with them but also not getting the credit for himself.
He must create his own Group.
Osborn Tower, however, this iconic building on Manhattan Island, could be taken over as the headquarters.
So.
During this period, which unlucky large Group had a storyline that could be swallowed?
In an instant, a pretty boy popped into his mind — Justin Hammer.
Hammer Industries, in which Hammer held shares, was one of America's three major arms dealers.
After Tony stopped producing weapons, and Norman was on the verge of death and had no intention of competing, the vacant military order share was entirely swallowed by him. Now he was America's number one arms supplier.
Hammer, as the chairman, was simply rolling in money!
What's even better is.
According to the script's character setting, this arms dealer, also a billionaire, possessed many traits such as cruelty, cunning, greed, and jealousy of Tony, but his intelligence was somewhat lacking.
Simply put.
This rich, oily salted duck egg was unusually easy to fool!
It's decided.
He would quickly buy a seaside villa near Tony, sunbathe and strengthen himself while waiting for the beginning to show his face, and also find an opportunity to scheme against Hammer Industries.
The plan is perfect (¬_¬)
