In the original timeline, Spider-Man: Homecoming took place after Peter Parker started high school.

And now, Spider-Man Peter Parker is still a sophomore in middle school and won't start high school for more than a year. That is to say, even if the original timeline is advanced, Adrian Toomes has not turned into a vulture now, and is still just an ordinary contractor.

What's more, the wormhole that was supposed to open over New York had already appeared near Washington two or three years in advance.

The Chitauri were hit hard. The key to triggering the 'Alien Invasion Incident', that is, the Mind Stone and the Space Stone, also fell into Shi Xiaolei's hands. Under such conditions, the New York War that was supposed to take place more than a year later naturally came to naught.

All in all, Adrian Toomes' fortunes have changed because the storyline has taken a different direction. According to the current situation, it is basically impossible for him to be as black as in the original plot, and then become a super villain.

So is Quentin Baker.

The virtual reality augmentation technology developed by him was noticed by Stark several years in advance.

Do you still remember those 'dress-up props' that Shi Xiaolei gave to the girls? Although it can only be used for dry addiction, it can't really replace the clothes sold on the market, and it can basically satisfy the beauty of the girls as women. But for the girls, that thing has already become one of their favorites, and it is one of the daily necessities that must not be given up.

Those 'dress-up props' used to switch styles were made by Stark after being inspired by Quentin Baker's research results.

Being noticed by Stark in advance means that Quentin Baker's research process was influenced by him early. Including Stark's evaluation of this research, it has also become completely different - there is no disdain or contempt, but a few words of praise with praise.

Why is there such a change?

In the original plot, the bad reviews are given because Quentin Baker's research has reached the stage of near completion. To put it more bluntly, what Stark thought at the time was, "After working for a long time, I just came up with such a thing."

And now in this timeline, Quentin Baker hadn't started long before Stark noticed the project.

At the initial stage of research, it is impossible to directly produce impressive results. As a senior figure engaged in scientific research, Stark has long been accustomed to this situation.

The expectations in my heart were not high. In addition, Quentin Baker's research is still going on, and I still have some expectations, thinking that he may still come up with results that make my eyes shine... The research funds are given by Stark, even if it is for return This may increase the rate of return, and as an investor, Stark will not speak harshly to Quentin Baker in this situation, and dispel his enthusiasm for work.

Moreover, Shi Xiaolei seemed very satisfied after getting those small props, and Stark also benefited from the praise given by the ship girls afterwards.

A headache is coming soon, and Stark's attitude towards Quentin Baker is naturally not bad.

In fact, Stark not only praised him verbally. After getting feedback from Shi Xiaolei's family and receiving good comments from the ship girls, he temporarily arranged another surprise for Quentin Baker because of his high interest—a one-time gift with a value of up to 200,000 U.S. dollars. bonus.

For Stark, whose net worth is too rich to count, a mere $200,000 is just a drop in the bucket.

But for Quentin Baker, who is just an ordinary employee, this bonus is enough to make him excited. Plus the bonus itself comes with a sense of recognition and affirmation...

For Stark's employer, Quentin Baker didn't have the resentment in the original plot at all, but was full of respect and wanted to follow him from the bottom of his heart.

The mentality is different. After Quentin Baker received the transfer order from his superiors, his reaction will naturally change accordingly.

If it was that Quentin Baker that Stark once despised...

'I'm a scientist, you want me to make movies? Although the project I researched can indeed play a role in film and television special effects, but... is it possible that you have already determined that my project has only so little prospect, and that it can only be used to make movies at best? ’ There may be some differences in the wording, but generally speaking, because of resentment towards Stark, Quentin Baker’s reaction will definitely be darker, and he will inevitably think too much.

And now...

After receiving the transfer order from Pepper, Quentin Baker only thought about it for a while, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

Without the slightest hesitation, with excitement and anticipation, Quentin Baker left the laboratory~lightnovelpub.net~ and rushed to the headquarters building immediately, and contacted the secretariat to apply for an interview with Pepper.

"Miss Pepper is in a meeting." Looking through Pepper's itinerary, the little secretary replied: "If the meeting can end on time, there will be a break of about fifteen minutes. At that time, I will tell her Convey your application. Of course, it depends on Miss Pepper whether I can spare time to meet with you. "

"That's it... When will the meeting end?" Quentin Baker rubbed his hands and asked anxiously in anticipation.

"If there are no accidents, it will be within twenty minutes to half an hour." Closing the notebook, the little secretary pointed to the waiting room beside him: "You can go there to rest for a while. There are service staff in the waiting room , you can order a cup of coffee to relax yourself and sort out your thoughts by the way."

As the current CEO of the Stark Group, Pepper receives many applications for meetings every day.

There are junior employees who come to report work, and outsiders who come to seek investment or cooperation. Although these people will be screened by the secretariat first, and those who are not qualified to be interviewed by Pepper will basically be eliminated in advance, but this does not mean that when Pepper interviews the remaining people, every time Meetings can be efficient and meaningful.

After seeing Pepper, there are always some people who get flustered because of being too nervous, and then talk incoherently in the conversation.

Therefore, in order to ensure that such situations do not occur frequently, the secretariat specially added a waiting room, and arranged some small items in it to help people adjust their mentality and regain their composure.

"Thank you. I'll wait over there. If there is any news, please let me know immediately."

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation."
