174 Chapter: 174
On November 11, 2013(Almost a year later), for everyone in the Marvel world, it was originally just an ordinary day.
However, things are different now. Since Mark had traveled from his previous Earth where it's the Singles' Day, he had to make the residents of the Marvel world feel the fear of their wallets being dominated.
Mark had been planning the Singles' Day event with the company's executives and managers since the beginning of the year. In order to expand the impact of the event and truly create a brand for the Singles' Day shopping festival, Mark partnered with Stark Industries and various e-commerce platforms to join this project.
The reason for pushing forward with this project, besides Mark's own twisted sense of humor, was that the months of October and December were already crowded with holidays, not to mention the famous Black Friday.
However, in the past, those were all celebrations for physical stores, and they had nothing to do with e-commerce. This was mainly due to the slow delivery speed in the logistics industry which lagged behind the industry.
But things are different now. Not to mention that Mark had united numerous companies to make a joint effort, the discounts offered on Singles' Day had astonished everyone. Additionally, in order to provide more efficient logistics services, Mark had specially established a logistics company to provide delivery services to all partners.
This logistics company was named "Beehive Express," and it used fully automated robotic parcel sorting. The "bees" (unmanned drones) delivered the goods and ultimately placed them in the hands of the buyers or in Beehive Express pickup lockers near their residences.
Once this service was launched, it immediately ignited the enthusiasm of all e-commerce companies within the alliance, and they all signed service agreements with Beehive Express, becoming its customers.
After several months of cultivating user habits and analyzing big data systems, when the time finally came for Singles' Day, just ten minutes past midnight, the sales of the entire e-commerce alliance had already exceeded billions of dollars.
This result not only left all the partners of the e-commerce alliance grinning from ear to ear but also shocked the entire world. The news media that followed and reported this news couldn't believe it. If it weren't for Mark and Tony's reputation backing it up, they truly wouldn't dare to publish this report to the outside world.
After all, this data was simply astonishing.
Although the planning was a tremendous success, and Singles' Day gained reputation and praise, Mark was no longer interested in paying attention to this matter.
Over the course of nearly a year, Mark gradually shifted the focus of his life away from his research and began to deal with some company affairs. He also started to enjoy some ordinary pleasures in life and frequently went on vacation trips with Tony and Pepper.
The significant change happened due to the upgrade. Since accepting the modification from the Haeven's Eye Virus, Mark's brain utilization rate had once again increased, allowing him to quickly find answers to any questions he pondered.
Therefore, shortly after Christmas, Mark made another breakthrough in his research on the Mind stone.
Taking this research breakthrough as a blueprint, Mark designed a mirror perception system for Baymax's core intelligence.
As the name suggests, mirror perception refers to the ability to correspond with reality and create a completely symmetrical mirror image.
After integrating this system, Baymax can combine the emotional perception engine to form an emotional mirror for the analyzed and recognized objects. Through this mirror, it can experience the emotions and feelings that originally only belonged to real living beings.
And as the first subject of perception after Baymax's upgrade, naturally, none other than Mark.
However, it was precisely this first experience and perception of human emotions that caused Baymax's core intelligence to malfunction. After a full two minutes, Baymax finally rebooted and returned to normal.
After the reboot, the first thing Baymax said to Mark was, "Master, you have a serious mental illness and must undergo psychological intervention and therapy."
"?" Mark was naturally confused and had many questions in his mind.
Because Mark had never felt that there were any unresolved negative issues in his emotions. He could wholeheartedly engage in any activity and find joy and satisfaction in scientific research.
In Mark's view, even if he couldn't be considered mentally 100% healthy, he shouldn't have any connection to "serious" mental illness.
"Master, perhaps you haven't felt it yourself, but through the emotional mirror and the analysis of your emotional perception, I have detected an unusually high level of anxiety in your subconscious.
This anxiety compels you to believe that you must constantly improve and dare not relax your own expectations. As a result, you experience particularly heightened emotions and great pleasure in the scientific research lab.
Because only at that time can you temporarily escape the anxiety burdening your subconscious. Over time, this has become your coping mechanism for psychological issues, leading to more serious psychological barriers."
After hearing Baymax's explanation, Mark also realized the root of his problem. As a reincarnated individual, having grown up as an orphan, he naturally carried a certain amount of anxiety, which had become a habit over a long period of time.
After Mark's rebirth and learning that he was in the crisis-ridden Marvel Universe, this habitual anxiety was amplified once again.
In addition, his identity as a time traveler was also a significant source of Mark's anxiety. To cover up this truth, Mark created a protective barrier around himself and isolated himself from others, resulting in the pressure he had to bear having no outlet for expression. It could only build up within his inner self, and he would evade the issue by focusing on his research.
So, from that day on, Mark decided to undergo Baymax's psychological intervention and start changing his lifestyle and way of thinking. Firstly, it was to prevent a potential psychological breakdown when facing even greater challenges in the future and being unable to self-regulate.
Secondly, this subconscious anxiety, besides being a shackle on Mark's mind, also constrained his brain. It would occupy limited resources in the brain's activation area and restrict the brain's utilization space. By resolving this issue, it would provide some assistance in advancing future projects.
Therefore, Mark was willing to invest this time cost to solve this seemingly insignificant trouble.
However, after Mark was excited to see the data he had created on Singles' Day and the excitement it brought, an old friend's appearance interrupted his thoughts.
"Mark, I need your help!" Thor looked at Mark with an anxious expression, sincerely seeking his assistance.
