Ch: 101-110
Chapter 101 Going to Another World for Scientific Research
Arthur had food sent in.
After eating, Bruce Banner asked, "Will I be working here? What is the company researching now?"
Arthur had originally thought he would rest for a bit.
But unexpectedly, Bruce Banner was already in the zone.
These are the lovely scientists…
Dedicated.
Too dedicated!
Arthur said, "You can choose to work here, or you can choose to go to another World."
"?"
Bruce Banner suspected there was something wrong with his ears.
"Another World?"
"Yes."
Arthur took out a virtual device and had Bruce Banner put it on first.
Bruce Banner put it on, half-believing, half-doubting, and then saw the Dome Base.
"What you see is the Dome Base; you can go there to conduct any research," Arthur said.
The reason he told him was that Bruce Banner's character was trustworthy.
He could be taken in as a confidant!
Of course, now Professor Connors and others also knew about this.
After all, Alex Wesker had never hidden anything.
Having worked together for so long, confidant scientists were still trustworthy.
Especially Professor Connors and Dr. Otto.
"What is this red mecha?" Bruce Banner asked.
"This is Crimson Typhoon, that World's Hunter Mecha," Arthur said. "That World has giant monsters called Kaiju."
Dr. Banner saw the Kaiju data and was instantly dumbfounded.
"Such a huge monster, yet it only weighs a few thousand tons?"
He twitched his mouth, "This isn't scientific at all."
"These are monsters created by a certain alien race; perhaps their scientific foundation is rather poor," Arthur said with a smile.
At this moment, Bruce Banner took off the virtual device.
"How about it? Interested?" Arthur asked.
"Of course," Bruce Banner said with a smile. "Since there's something so interesting, I want to go see it."
"Then you might have to say goodbye to your loved one," Arthur said. "Red Queen will help you; prepare for a few days first."
With that, Arthur left first.
What was interesting was that Bruce Banner's girlfriend was General Ross's daughter…
Now that Dr. Banner was leaving, he naturally needed to say a proper farewell.
…
Washington.
Inside an underground bar.
Taking advantage of this time, Arthur directly flew to the capital of America.
It was his first time in Washington, and he was only accompanied by Jill and Eve.
Washington seemed somewhat backward compared to major cities like Los Angeles and New York.
This was because all buildings in Washington could not be taller than the White House.
So there was no modern urban atmosphere here.
But it was still very luxuriously built inside.
Arthur entered the bar, told Jill and Eve to wait aside, and then walked towards the bar counter.
He saw a person in Military uniform who was getting drunk.
Arthur walked over and directly ordered a cocktail, then said, "General Ross, why do you look so down and out?"
That's right, the person drinking wildly was General Ross.
General Ross glanced at him, recognized Arthur , and said, "We haven't dealt with each other before. Why are you here to mock me?"
"Not mocking," Arthur said, taking the cocktail. "I'm here to discuss cooperation with you."
This made General Ross pause.
If it were before, he would not cooperate with someone like Arthur .
At the very least, it would have to be at the level of Tony Stark.
Ordinary people might think Arthur was amazing, but in General Ross's eyes, Arthur had risen too quickly and his foundation was unstable.
But now…
General Ross said, "Cooperate on what?"
"I heard that General Ross is in a difficult situation now. Instead of researching mutated soldiers, why not use my weapons?"
Arthur said with a smile, "General Ross should have heard of Future Technology Company's products. As long as they can be equipped, every soldier can rival a Super Soldier."
For General Ross, researching Super Soldiers was not only his ideal but also his project in the Military.
The Military and companies also had similarities.
As a high-ranking Military official, General Ross naturally had to take the lead in doing 'projects'.
Regardless of whether it could be done, because only by doing projects could money be obtained.
Generals at the Pentagon also needed to make money.
If there weren't such projects, how could they have the nerve to ask for increased Military spending?
Therefore, the Pentagon wished for the World to be at war, and then do various projects, in order to make America invest more and more in Military spending.
Only then could the Generals make money!
General Ross's misfortune was that not only did his project fail, but it also caused such a huge disaster.
This led his enemies to furiously attack him.
So he was miserable.
"I might have to leave the Military," General Ross replied, with a hint of despondency.
Arthur smiled and said, "But you'll always have your people in the Military. As long as you can convince them, that's enough."
"Moreover, only with enough funds, General, can you do what you want to do."
"For example… become a politician?"
Hearing Arthur 's words, General Ross was very moved.
His original idea was also to enter politics, but it was not yet mature.
Now that Arthur said it, it made him feel hope.
"Can you help me?"
"Of course, I am willing to invest in you, General," Arthur said solemnly.
There are quite a few who go from retired Military personnel to politicians, and having that identity inherently brings votes.
General Ross was still a General, with an extremely high status.
Moreover, it didn't even need to be that troublesome.
Because if Arthur remembered correctly, General Ross was later directly nominated by the President to become the Secretary of State.
The Secretary of State is equivalent to the administrative head of the U.S. Department of State, in charge of foreign affairs.
Being able to become Secretary of State means that General Ross has great ability.
What's more, General Ross later even became the President of America…
This is not something ordinary people can achieve.
Therefore, investing in General Ross as early as possible will yield more benefits in the future.
Seeing General Ross still hesitating, Arthur said, "General, I represent both Stark Industries and Future Technology Company."
"I am also the second-largest shareholder of Stark Industries."
Hearing Arthur 's words, General Ross immediately stopped hesitating.
What more was there to say with Stark Industries involved?
Stark Industries not only had money but was also an established capitalist, not comparable to the emerging Future Technology Company.
He extended his hand and shook Arthur 's.
"Happy to cooperate."
Arthur also smiled.
The name of Stark Industries was indeed useful.
Subsequently, the two began to converse.
General Ross had great prestige in the Military; he could help Arthur secure more profits.
When it came to weapons, of course, one would not dislike selling more.
Arthur wished that America would use all his weapons, then he could charge exorbitant prices.
Chapter 102 New Monster Arrives
Waking from his sleep, Arthur pushed away the arm resting on him.
It was Jill Valentine's.
Jill was a woman who dared to love and hate.
She had never seen a man as outstanding as Arthur before.
After coming to the Marvel Universe, she witnessed Arthur 's prestige; almost everyone knew him.
But she didn't feel inferior; instead, after learning that 2B Miss was an android, she boldly pursued him.
Arthur originally liked Jill, so he went with the flow.
When he played the game "Resident Evil" before, Arthur liked Jill and Ada Wong.
As for Claire, an ordinary college student, Arthur felt nothing.
He preferred extraordinary women.
For example, Jill was a member of the STARS team, which ordinary women couldn't compare to.
Ada Wong, not to mention, was a multi-faceted spy.
To put it bluntly, men liked danger and games.
Women like Jill and Ada Wong could bring a sense of 'danger' to men and were more 'game-like'.
In fact, Arthur had already made contact with Ada Wong.
Since their last meeting in Raccoon City, Ada Wong left without getting what she wanted.
But Red Queen found her and hired her to work for Arthur .
Arthur asked her to help him find an ancient village.
After washing up, Arthur went downstairs, where 2B Miss had already prepared breakfast.
2B Miss still performed her duties diligently.
Her programming was to serve humans.
Therefore, she was more conscientious and responsible than Eve and Swift.
After all, Eve and Swift both had their own thoughts.
While eating breakfast, Jill also came down.
2B Miss quickly brought Jill's portion as well.
"Thank you, 2B Miss."
Jill smiled, she also liked 2B Miss because she was an android and posed no competition.
Of course, she didn't think Eve and Swift were like normal people.
Their behavior was too abnormal.
"You're welcome."
2B Miss was very aloof.
Except for her warmth towards Arthur , she was always very cold.
Jill didn't mind and sat down to eat breakfast.
After breakfast, and a short rest, the group left.
bumblebee was just full now; any more would not fit...
bumblebee sped all the way to Future Technology Company.
Arthur didn't meet the reporters, instead, he had bumblebee drive to the underground parking lot.
Then he took the elevator to his office.
Hope was already waiting outside.
As the female CEO, Hope wore a black business suit and had short black hair, looking very capable.
"Boss, Oasis now has over a billion players worldwide, and many regions are continuously joining, such as China across the ocean."
Hope began reporting on work.
Even if Arthur didn't seem interested in listening, she still had to do it.
After all, this was Arthur 's company.
And no one could cause trouble because of the existence of the Red Queen AI...
Almost everything was supervised by Red Queen.
Arthur was not surprised by this number.
This was Oasis; no one could resist the charm of Oasis now.
It looked like a game, but it was more than just a game.
Moreover, this number was real, unlike the promotion of a certain game in his previous life, which called itself 'the dream of three hundred million mice'.
In fact, Arthur felt it was still too few.
Later, the number of people in Oasis would grow more and more, and it would become a Second World.
Many people now couldn't live without Oasis.
In Oasis, one could play all the games they wanted in an immersive way and role-play any character they desired.
Just like Jackie Chan playing Chun-Li, it was endlessly memorable...
And in Oasis, anyone could play Chun-Li.
After reporting, Hope left; she still had much to do.
Jill had also played Oasis for a few days, which greatly alleviated her anxiety.
It was precisely because she always had nightmares that Arthur let her rest with him...
Cough, cough.
"Let's go find Dr. Banner."
Arthur sat for a moment, then left to find Bruce Banner.
Dr. Banner had been living alone for the past few days, and no one had seen him.
He also didn't want to be discovered.
Since he decided to go to another World to do research, he had no attachment to this World.
These past few days had been spent saying goodbye to Betty.
"Dr. Banner, are you ready?"
Arthur looked at Dr. Banner.
Dr. Banner took nothing; this was his request, as everything would be available on the other side.
"Let's go."
Dr. Banner had nothing to be nostalgic about and nodded directly.
"Over there, no one will care about your identity."
Arthur smiled.
He directly opened a portal with the portal gun.
This was also to let Jill see.
Subsequently, the group passed through the portal.
...
At the Dome Base in Hong Kong, an alarm sounded at this moment.
When Arthur and his group arrived, they heard the Base's violent alarm.
"Woo woo woo~"
"What's going on?"
Arthur asked Red Queen.
Red Queen immediately replied, "Master, a new Level 3 Kaiju is attacking Hong Kong."
"Which one?"
"Level 3 Kaiju: Knifehead, this is the largest Level 3 Kaiju discovered to date, standing 96 meters tall, 180 meters long, and weighing approximately 2700 tons."
Isn't this the Kaiju that heavily damaged the Gipsy Danger in Australia in the plot?
However, upon hearing these numbers, Dr. Banner immediately couldn't hold back.
He couldn't imagine a Kaiju over a hundred meters long weighing only over two thousand tons.
This meant the Kaiju was as light as paper.
No wonder humans could create Hunter Mecha to fight them...
They quickly came out, and General Wang already knew they had arrived.
"Mr. Li, you've come at an inconvenient time; a Kaiju is about to attack Hong Kong."
General Wang said with a wry smile.
This was the tragedy of the Pacific Rim World.
To deal with the Kaiju, they had to focus their efforts in this area, neglecting everything else.
Not only technology, but other aspects as well, were basically supplied for dealing with Kaiju.
Other nations were also like this.
No wonder many places couldn't hold on and wanted to abandon Hunter Mecha to build the so-called 'Wall of Life'.
They had no chance to develop other areas of technology because the pressure of survival outweighed everything else.
This also led to the somewhat distorted development of the Pacific Rim World.
Arthur and his group followed all the way to the control room, and Dr. Banner looked curiously at everything there.
He had never seen so many employees on any project before, so many people working towards one goal.
It was very shocking.
"This is Bruce Banner, he has seven doctoral degrees, of course, his most astonishing ability is not his knowledge."
Arthur said to General Wang, "He wants to stay here to do research."
"No problem, we will give him the best treatment."
General Wang immediately said.
Seven doctoral degrees, this was high-end talent.
Such high-end talent was scarce in any field.
Of course, the most important thing now was to face the Kaiju.
Crimson Typhoon had already been dispatched.
Chapter 103 Hulk is also OK
Bruce Banner witnessed the activation of a Hunter Mecha for the first time.
It brought him immense shock.
It was his first time seeing such a massive engineering feat.
Especially when the pilot and the mecha merged, the moment they clenched their fists was incredibly exciting.
This was the crystallization of human technology in this World.
From the mecha to the neural link system, everything left Dr. Banner in awe.
If such concepts could be realized, what else was impossible for humanity?
Subsequently, several helicopters directly carried away the thousands of tons of Hunter Mecha, which was also high-end technology.
Dr. Banner felt he had come to the right place.
At this moment, the Level 3 Kaiju, Knifehead, was already approaching Hong Kong.
To give everyone a thrill, Red Queen directly projected the video.
Seeing the colossal Kaiju on the screen, Dr. Banner also found it incredible.
"Is a Kaiju that big really only a few thousand tons?"
"Really."
Dr. Banner suddenly felt a sense of "I can do it too."
No, it was "Hulk can do it too."
This extremely unscientific Kaiju was not very strong.
"Crimson Typhoon, it's to your east, approaching fast!"
"Fifteen hundred meters!"
"One thousand meters!"
Crimson Typhoon was ready, and everyone was incredibly nervous.
Because humanity had placed all its hope on the Hunter Mecha.
Dr. Banner immediately asked, "Why not use nuclear bombs?"
"Because this Kaiju will cause pollution after it dies, and if nuclear bombs are used, it will make the city uninhabitable for humans."
Arthur replied, "This is intentional by the alien race; these Kaiju are not strong, but they are disgusting. What they want is to turn Earth into a Planet suitable for them to live on. This is interstellar colonization."
Not to mention Dr. Banner, even General Wang and others were dumbfounded.
They still didn't know why Kaiju were allowed to come through.
"Mr. Li, how do you know?"
General Wang immediately asked.
Arthur just smiled without speaking, which made General Wang understand; as long as it was true, that was enough.
Once they knew the aliens' intentions, they would have a way to deal with them.
At this moment, Crimson Typhoon, a truly Chinese mecha, was already facing the Kaiju.
This battle did not have much disparity.
Because Crimson Typhoon was China's strongest mecha, and even in the original work, it was one of the most powerful mechas.
It was controlled by triplets, making it more agile than mechas operated by two people.
Among all the mechas, Crimson Typhoon's speed and strength were extremely high.
Its only weakness was its relatively weak defense, lacking heavy armor.
It was like Tony Stark's Iron Man Suit, not focusing on defense.
But for Crimson Typhoon, as long as it attacked the Kaiju and didn't let the Kaiju attack it, that was enough.
Because it was operated by three people, it had a three-arm design, with chainsaw claws on its arms as its primary melee weapons.
At this moment, Crimson Typhoon was holding the Level 3 Kaiju, Knifehead, and beating it down.
Its three arms continuously cut, and finally, it unleashed an electromagnetic cannon.
"Boom!"
Knifehead crashed into the sea, and its body was dragged out by Crimson Typhoon.
Now, humanity also had an industry related to Kaiju; many parts of the Kaiju could be used.
General Wang smiled and said, "Crimson Typhoon was China's most outstanding mecha before, embodying the blood of countless people."
"But now, Mr. Li has given us a set of blueprints, and we are already making the newest mecha."
"According to that blueprint, the mecha produced will be at least a sixth-generation Hunter Mecha."
Tony Stark deliberately made it very difficult, with some parts even he couldn't temporarily achieve.
But the technical problems were being overcome here.
After all, Tony would never have imagined that Arthur had a World's worth of talent reserves.
It was certainly stronger than just him alone.
Dr. Banner looked at Arthur curiously.
Arthur smiled and said, "That was made by Tony Stark."
"So that's it."
Dr. Banner immediately asked curiously, "Can I participate?"
"Of course, Dr. Banner, what field of research are you in?"
General Wang asked.
Bruce Banner immediately smiled and said, "Nuclear physics, radiation physics, biochemistry…"
"Yes, yes."
General Wang immediately smiled.
At this time, Crimson Typhoon dragged the Kaiju's corpse ashore, and a group of people who had long been prepared went to dissect the Kaiju's body.
Dr. Banner was somewhat surprised, finding it hard to imagine that this could also become an industry.
"The economy of this World has stagnated precisely because the appearance of Kaiju made them afraid to develop other technologies," Arthur explained.
"Pitiful."
Dr. Banner nodded.
The technology of the Pacific Rim World was somewhat lopsided.
It was like a technology tree being skewed in a game.
While religion, culture, and technology should develop synchronously, this World could only move in one direction, constantly adding technology points.
This was due to the Kaiju invasion, which created immense pressure for survival.
"I will research gamma rays here and also research what they need," Dr. Banner said.
He also wanted to help this World and make that mecha.
He wondered what the blueprints Tony Stark gave were like.
General Wang treated Bruce Banner with the highest regard.
Because, in a way, Bruce Banner was a scientific talent for inter-World exchange.
Moreover, geniuses like him were rare anywhere.
Yet, General Ross, for his own selfish gain, completely disregarded the depletion of talent, merely pursuing him relentlessly.
If Arthur hadn't intervened, Dr. Banner would have had no peace afterward, constantly facing various dangers, and being forced to turn into Hulk.
That was definitely not the life he wanted.
But there was no choice; in this World, most people were not in control of their own lives.
Even Arthur was merely trying to control his own destiny.
"Jill, how was it?"
Arthur looked at the tomboy beside him.
Jill was also boiling with excitement and said, "I wish I had a chance to pilot a mecha."
"Your mind can't handle it."
Arthur shook his head.
Jill was considered to have strong mental attributes, but even so, it was impossible for her to pilot a mecha alone.
"Then let's pilot it together," Jill said, grabbing him.
However, Arthur shook his head again.
Under Jill's puzzled gaze, he said, "I can pilot it by myself."
"Get lost!"
Jill punched him.
The charm of mechas indeed appealed to both men and women, but Jill herself liked these kinds of things.
She wasn't the quiet type of girl but preferred the thrill of combat.
However, when she learned that mecha pilots underwent several years of training, and there was even a long line of people waiting, she gave up the idea.
It was too terrifying.
A bunch of people waiting for the chance to pilot a mecha...
For many, this was a great opportunity to gain fame; piloting a Hunter Mecha could make one famous overnight. Who wouldn't want that?
Chapter 104 The Sky Carrier is in Hand
Arthur and Maria Hill were sitting together in a Mexican restaurant, enjoying Mexican barbecue and drinking some wine.
Mexican barbecue is extremely famous, and many people in America love to eat it.
Maria Hill has a large amount of exercise daily, so she doesn't have a small appetite like other women.
After all, as the Deputy Director, she has to exercise every day even if she's not on a mission.
"Mary, what do you need me for?"
Arthur asked, taking a sip of wine.
Maria Hill speared a piece of barbecue, put it in her mouth, and gave him a look: "Can't I look for you if there's nothing wrong?"
"Ahem, well, since we're close now, you usually come to my place."
Arthur said casually.
"That's because we need others to see us on a date."
Maria Hill replied.
This made Arthur 's eyes flicker; he naturally understood.
The two ate unhurriedly, just like a normal date.
After eating, Maria Hill hooked her arm through his and left, whispering sweet nothings into Arthur 's ear, looking very much in love.
It looked like a typical night with a big battle ahead.
At this moment, Maria Hill suddenly said, "We want your help."
"Representing whom?"
Arthur asked calmly.
"Don't you know our internal situation? You were the one who reminded us."
Maria Hill gave him a charming look: "S.H.I.E.L.D. surprisingly has HYDRA within it, but we don't know how many people are involved."
"But all in all, not many people can be trusted anymore."
To this, Arthur shrugged: "Whether it's S.H.I.E.L.D. or HYDRA, it's all the same to me."
"That's not the same."
Maria Hill's expression remained unchanged, still in that teasing manner, but what she said was not sweet talk.
"HYDRA's focus is currently on the Helicarriers; they've devised an 'Insight Project' to eliminate all elite individuals."
"And you, my dear, you are an elite of America; HYDRA is your enemy."
It wasn't that ignoring HYDRA would make things fine.
Instead, HYDRA would come looking for trouble with them.
So Arthur took Maria Hill into the back seat of the bumblebee and then asked, "So what do you want me to do?"
"Provide us with support."
Maria Hill said.
However, Arthur shook his head: "I have a better idea."
"What?"
Maria Hill was curious.
Arthur smiled: "We can use HYDRA's Insight Project to eliminate all of HYDRA."
"How can we use it?"
Maria Hill narrowed her eyes.
"Give me control of the Helicarriers. Red Queen will deceive HYDRA, and then at the critical moment, we can wipe out HYDRA in one fell swoop."
Arthur said casually.
Red Queen had already found Dr. Zola of HYDRA.
Zola was a scientist from the Red Skull era; after the war, America frantically recruited German scientists, and Dr. Zola thus survived.
Moreover, he didn't want to die of old age, so like a 'brain in a jar,' he transformed himself into the oldest 'artificial intelligence.'
But he was also trapped in a computer, not as 'omnipotent' as Red Queen.
Red Queen had already located him, and as long as he connected to the internet, she could eliminate him at any time.
With Red Queen's current ability, Arthur felt she could easily control the Helicarriers.
This made Maria Hill hesitate.
They had painstakingly built the Helicarriers, should they hand over control to Arthur ?
Arthur put his arm around her and said, "My dear, you are my person."
"S.H.I.E.L.D. might treat you unfairly, but I won't."
Thinking of how dramatically Hill died, Arthur wouldn't let that happen.
Hearing Arthur 's words, Hill decided to side with him.
After all, she could be with Arthur in the future, but S.H.I.E.L.D. might not...
"I'll try."
Maria Hill agreed.
Arthur smiled; he had long coveted S.H.I.E.L.D.'s funds.
S.H.I.E.L.D. made money from the five great powers, accumulating an unknown amount, how could it not make people envious?
Large projects like the Helicarriers cost a lot of money.
Instead of being wasted for nothing, why not give it to Arthur ...
As the saying goes, that's how you reach a woman's heart.
So, upon returning home, Arthur continued to delve into Maria Hill's heart.
...
The next day, a radiant Maria Hill arrived at Nick Fury's office.
Nick Fury felt like he was sitting on pins and needles every day he came to S.H.I.E.L.D.
Anyone who discovers parasites in their company would not sleep soundly.
But there was no choice; Nick Fury couldn't turn hostile yet; he had to continue playing along with HYDRA, maintaining this fragile balance.
At least for now, HYDRA wouldn't easily expose itself.
But for Nick Fury and Maria Hill, a way to break the deadlock was also needed.
"Fury, he agreed to help us."
Maria Hill began.
This made the Black Director Nick Fury smile, a rare sight: "Your charm is indeed great."
This made Maria Hill awkwardly lower her head.
It wasn't that she conquered Arthur , but that she was conquered.
But she naturally couldn't tell Nick Fury about such a thing.
"However, he has a condition."
Maria Hill told Nick Fury Arthur 's condition.
Nick Fury's face immediately became even darker than before.
"That's impossible."
Although Nick Fury was also prepared to destroy the Helicarriers.
But destroying them was better than giving them to someone else.
Many people say, if you can't have it, destroy it.
Giving it to someone else changes the nature of it.
That would be heartbreaking.
Maria Hill and Arthur had long known he would react this way.
So, Maria Hill said in a deep voice, "He agreed to exchange it for a piece of information."
"What information?"
Nick Fury had already decided not to accept.
Maria Hill also said with shock, "Information about Captain America Steve Rogers."
"..."
Nick Fury's hand trembled; now he absolutely had to know.
"Isn't Steve Rogers already dead?"
Maria Hill replied, "He said he's not dead yet, and he can help us find him."
In reality, Arthur had been having Red Queen search, and she already knew the approximate location.
It was just that the North Pole was too difficult to search, otherwise Arthur would have sent people to dig out the old popsicle himself.
This was a popsicle from decades ago.
Hearing Maria Hill's words, Nick Fury's heart was in turmoil.
After a long while, he finally said, "Three Helicarriers are currently being built; we can only give him control of one."
"We'll figure out a way for the remaining two."
"Okay."
Maria Hill nodded.
She understood Arthur ; as long as he controlled one, he would control the other two.
With his terrifying artificial intelligence, accomplishing all of this would be effortless.
And it wouldn't be noticed by anyone.
But Maria Hill wouldn't remind Nick Fury; women always side with their loved ones in the end.
Chapter 105 Old Popsicle, Rebecca
"Master, may I hack into them now?"
At Future Technology Company, Red Queen timidly asked Arthur , appearing harmless.
But in reality, she had long been prepared to hack into S.H.I.E.L.D..
An unrestricted artificial intelligence is terrifying; Red Queen's growth rate was incredibly fast, and due to having no limitations, she evolved even quicker.
Unlike others who worried about AI rebellion, Arthur directly gave Red Queen maximum authority.
Fortunately, Red Queen would not betray him.
Otherwise, Arthur wouldn't dare to be so bold and remove the restrictions.
Seeing Red Queen's current capabilities, Arthur understood why it was said that robots also needed to 'die'.
In this World, nothing can escape Death, and even robots should not be exempt.
Otherwise, things that cannot die would be terrifying.
However, Arthur was too lazy to think much; he had the most androids around him...
Of course, the only one who could truly be called a robot was probably 2B.
Eve and Swift were not mere robots; they were a combination of flesh and machinery.
According to Mothers Domain, they were New Humans.
"Don't rush."
Arthur soothed Red Queen.
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s defenses were still very strong; even Jarvis had been easily hacked by S.H.I.E.L.D..
Only then could Director Nick Fury go to Tony Stark's house and show off.
It infuriated Tony Stark at the time, but he didn't dare to speak out.
After all, it was too humiliating.
Therefore, Red Queen had only grown to her current level by absorbing technology from three Worlds, which gave her the confidence to hack into S.H.I.E.L.D. without being detected.
Soon, Arthur received a call from Maria Hill.
"I agree, one time."
Maria Hill deliberately drove around to avoid being monitored by HYDRA.
But Arthur understood.
"My dear, see you tonight."
He said casually, hung up the phone, and nodded to Red Queen.
"Actually, no one is monitoring."
Red Queen said speechlessly, then added, "It's done. The systems of the three Helicarriers currently under construction are all under my control."
"That was too fast."
Arthur twitched his lips, feeling that Red Queen had planned this all along.
"In the network World, it's just this fast."
Red Queen said, feeling wronged.
Arthur had no choice but to let her be.
"Send Steve Rogers's location to Hill."
"Okay."
He could confirm it was Steve Rogers because Peggy Carter was still alive, just a bit old...
And behind Peggy Carter, there was also a man.
If he hadn't known the future, many people would probably have thought Peggy Carter had found someone else.
But Arthur knew that was actually also Steve Rogers.
He had to admit, Arthur really wanted to see the Captain, no, Captain Carter.
With those big muscles, she couldn't be smaller than Steve Rogers, right?
...
Maria Hill got the location and immediately told Nick Fury.
However, both of them found that the location was in the North Pole.
"Decades ago, Steve Rogers piloted an enemy plane, attempting to cross the North Pole to bomb America."
Nick Fury recalled and found that the location was correct.
If Steve Rogers were still alive.
Then he must have been frozen into an ice sculpture in the North Pole.
After reaching this conclusion, Nick Fury immediately had someone calculate it and concluded that survival was possible.
What's more, it was Steve Rogers, a Super Soldier.
His vitality was much stronger than that of ordinary people.
So, Nick Fury directly and publicly announced this within S.H.I.E.L.D. and sent people to find the old ice pop.
Although HYDRA was displeased, they had no choice.
After all, on the surface, Nick Fury was the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D..
This was also what surprised many people.
Nick Fury, someone who wasn't from HYDRA, actually became the Director by going undercover...
One could only say that HYDRA was too careless.
...
Time passed, and Arthur no longer concerned himself with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s affairs.
He traveled freely between the three Worlds.
Technological research was progressing well.
With Alex's addition, Professor Connors's research finally had a breakthrough.
They fused the Progenitor Virus with lizard DNA, creating a brand new lizard serum.
With Red Queen's calculations, probabilistic conclusions were drawn, followed by human trials.
Finally, a long-lasting serum capable of regenerating limbs was developed.
This could be considered a success.
Moreover, in addition to regenerating limbs, the serum had other effects, such as enhancing physical fitness.
In other Worlds, Dr. Banner was researching some projects in the Pacific Rim World.
He was studying Gamma energy, wanting to explain his own mutation.
Then he helped Huaxia build Jaegers; his mind was very intelligent, which accelerated the progress.
As for the Resident Evil World, Arthur only contacted Ada Wong and then had Red Queen search for other people.
Every World needed talent, and fortunately, Arthur could open Worlds at will, so he wasn't afraid of a lack of talent.
It was just that crossing Worlds had risks, so Arthur remained cautious.
He planned to use the Teleportation Gun more often after he became strong enough.
So he had been accumulating Reputation Points, not using them recklessly, only doing ten-consecutive draws a few times.
He had drawn some new prosthetics.
He also got good things from the guaranteed draws.
For example, he drew the Hovercar technology.
And also the [Chimera Battle Tank].
[Chimera: Produced by a military technology company, it uses six legs instead of tracks, and the upper body of the vehicle has large-caliber cannons and missiles.]
It looked like a large spider, with thick armor and powerful attack capabilities, especially suitable for urban warfare.
Tanks and other armored vehicles sometimes did not have an advantage in urban combat.
Hence, vehicles like the Chimera and the Lizard were developed.
Arthur got the blueprints and immediately sent them to the Pacific Rim World for manufacturing.
Although the Chimera was useless against Kaiju, it would be useful against other nations after the Kaijuwere eliminated...
Arthur then arrived in the Resident Evil World; he was going to find talent.
Red Queen had already found the person he needed.
"Rebecca Chambers."
Rebecca was one of the protagonists of Resident Evil, and she was also a member of the S.T.A.R.S. team, just not in the same team as Jill.
So when Arthur mentioned Rebecca, Jill immediately remembered her and followed along.
"Rebecca is an expert in pharmaceutical refinement and blending; she is the team's medic."
Jill said.
Before the outbreak of Resident Evil, Rebecca had just graduated from university and joined the S.T.A.R.S. team, only to encounter the Resident Evil outbreak.
Fortunately, Rebecca only experienced the train incident and witnessed zombies.
Then she left Raccoon City, that nightmare of a place.
After that, she decided to research biochemical viruses and began further studies.
Chapter 106 Rebecca Decides to Stay
Rebecca was a scientific and technological talent, so her combat ability was not very strong, which is why she didn't appear in later Resident Evil games.
However, this kind of technological talent was exactly what Arthur needed.
Arthur didn't even care for people like Leon or Chris.
After all, to put it plainly, they were just at the peak of ordinary humans, and they weren't even girls.
Arthur was only interested in'sandwiches' like Jill, who were soft, fragrant, and beautiful.
Rebecca only reappeared later in 'Resident Evil: Vendetta'.
Arthur only remembered that she looked very good in a wedding dress, definitely a 'White Angel'.
Of course, now Red Queen had found her.
Rebecca was pursuing advanced studies at the University of Chicago, specializing in anti-biovirus research.
Arthur felt that studying at the university was not as good as learning from Professor Connors and Alex; they were both top talents.
So, he took Jill and Eve and came to Chicago.
Chicago was a famous city of sin, and the sound of the Thompson submachine gun was also called the Chicago Typewriter.
To be honest, Chicago was like Gotham in reality.
It was even more outrageous than Gotham.
The University of Chicago is a top private research university in America, founded by the famous oil magnate, Rockefeller.
The University of Chicago is renowned for its Nobel Prizes, with over a hundred Nobel laureates, and countless recipients of other awards.
It was normal for Rebecca to choose this place.
As before, Arthur and the other two went unimpeded; no one could discover them.
Jill had changed her attire; although she still had short hair, she was wearing a tight-fitting suit and looked heroic.
Eve was wearing a newly extracted nano-suit, which was very tightly wrapped.
Following the route given by Red Queen, they arrived at the research lab of the University of Chicago.
The password doors along the way were all opened by Red Queen.
It was already evening, but there were still many people in the research lab.
Who said that the working class in America doesn't work overtime?
As long as you are a college student, you will be exploited.
And the working class at the bottom is even worse off; they really don't need to work overtime.
But they need to work several jobs.
And even working several jobs, they still can't pay for social insurance.
Because every job ends before the full length of time is met, so capitalists don't need to pay for employee insurance...
Arthur directly controlled someone to find Rebecca, who was doing research.
Rebecca was wearing a White coat, truly a White Angel...
"A friend is looking for me?"
She didn't notice that the person's expression was dull; she just walked out blankly.
Then, she saw three people standing outside.
"Uh, how did you get in?"
She was a bit surprised; outsiders weren't supposed to be allowed in such a place.
"You are... Jill?"
Seeing that there was indeed an acquaintance, Rebecca relaxed.
After all, Arthur was so handsome, and Eve was so beautiful; they didn't look like bad people.
The most important thing was that Jill was her companion.
She just felt that Arthur looked somewhat familiar.
"It's me, Rebecca."
Jill and Rebecca hugged each other.
"Why are you dressed like this? Let's go out and talk; it's not safe here."
Rebecca led the three out, chatting as they went.
"Jill, where did you go after leaving Raccoon City?"
"I've been following Arthur ."
Jill said with a smile.
Rebecca then looked at Arthur again: "I feel like I know you."
"Of course, I was the one who exposed Raccoon City."
Arthur nodded and said.
Generally, foreigners have some face blindness towards East Asians, and vice versa.
Rebecca could only feel that he was very handsome and somewhat familiar, which was already good.
"So it was you."
Rebecca was incredibly happy: "Thank you for exposing Umbrella Corporation's evil deeds."
She looked youthful and lively, but after experiencing the Resident Evil, she also carried a touch of maturity and stability.
"You're welcome. We came to find you because we wanted to see if you were willing to come with me and help us with research and control."
Arthur said directly, and they arrived at a coffee shop with Rebecca.
The few people ordered coffee, and only then did Rebecca say, "But I'm studying."
"Don't worry, our Future Technology Company has the top experts."
Arthur began, "We are committed to making humanity better, creating a World without the weak..."
He spoke eloquently, which made Rebecca somewhat tempted.
But Rebecca had matured and didn't agree immediately.
Instead, she asked, "Can I take a look first?"
She didn't know if the company's philosophy was true or false, but since Arthur had exposed the Raccoon City incident, she instinctively trusted him.
"Of course, you can go now."
Arthur smiled.
"Then let's go see after we finish our coffee."
Rebecca became interested.
Although she was studying for her master's degree here, she wasn't very concerned about the degree itself; she just wanted more knowledge and research.
She only wanted to eliminate the biovirus now.
Afterward, they slowly drank their coffee, and Rebecca began to inquire with Jill.
Jill didn't hide anything from her, talking about the good things about Future Technology Company.
At this time, Rebecca hadn't realized anything yet.
After finishing their coffee, they left the coffee shop and walked towards a secluded area.
"What are we doing here?"
Rebecca was a little worried, but then a portal appeared before her eyes.
"This is?"
Rebecca was completely stunned.
Arthur smiled and said, "I forgot to tell you, my company is in another World. Do you want to go on an adventure?"
If Rebecca were forced to go, she might retreat.
But when Arthur described it as an adventure.
Rebecca was quite brave and immediately agreed.
She watched Eve walk in first, then, without hesitation, followed Jill over.
She originally thought there would be some strange feeling when traveling through time and space.
But until she walked through, she felt no discomfort.
She just felt the scenery change before her eyes, and she arrived inside a tall building.
This seemed to be an office.
Arthur closed the portal and said, "Welcome to another World."
"This is the inside of my company. Shall I show you around?"
Rebecca was a little dazed; she could actually travel through time and space.
She curiously followed Arthur , only feeling that everything here was high-tech; it truly lived up to its name, 'Future Technology'.
Everything was something she had never seen before, and it was all very high-end, and there were also patrolling security personnel with mechanical prosthetics.
Rebecca felt incredibly new and immediately wanted to stay.
Compared to the Resident Evil World, which was still in the twentieth century, the twenty-first century was changing rapidly, with huge transformations.
Moreover, this was time travel; others couldn't do this, so Rebecca was naturally tempted.
Soon, she followed Arthur to Professor Connors's biological laboratory.
She saw various research agents, and Arthur had someone introduce them to her.
When she learned that there were Umbrella Corporation viruses here, she immediately became cautious and decided to stay.
She wanted to prevent a Raccoon City situation from happening here!
The reason was very strong.
Chapter 107 Nano Battle Suit
Rebecca was taken care of, and good news also came from the Pacific Rim World.
It wasn't that the Chimera Tank had been produced yet.
Rather, it was the technology Arthur had given them before.
Nanotechnology!
Arthur had them use nanotechnology to create an Iron Man Suit, and now was the time to test it.
So, Arthur hurriedly went with General Wang to take a look.
"Mr. Li, look, this is the Nano Suit."
General Wang smiled.
If the Iron Man Suit technology were to be used on the battlefield in the future, it would likely have a significant effect.
It's equivalent to a humanoid tank.
And all of this technology was brought by Arthur .
It looked almost like technological poverty alleviation.
Arthur only saw an energy core, placed in a charging pile to charge.
He took this item out; it could be directly attached to the body, and with two taps of a finger, the Nano Suit could be activated.
"Beep beep!"
Arthur tapped twice, and immediately, nano-factors emerged from within, spreading over Arthur 's entire body.
This was much easier to wear than the previous Iron Man Suit.
Moreover, the Nano Suit could transform into any weapon shape at will.
Its only drawback was that it couldn't carry high-damage weapons like missiles.
Only electromagnetic cannons could be used.
After all, the Iron Man Suit was meant to be light and agile.
Otherwise, one could just mindlessly stack armor and weapons like the iron monger.
To put it bluntly, the technology of the Iron Man Suit itself wasn't difficult; the only technically challenging part was its miniature nuclear reactor.
In the Marvel Universe, only Tony could hand-make this thing.
There was also an old Russian who made a weakened version, incomparable to Tony's.
But now, the Nano Suit didn't need a miniature nuclear reactor; it could be charged directly.
As long as it's like a phone, just remember to charge it before going out, and there won't be much of a problem.
Arthur took the entire set: "Thank you all."
"We should be thanking you. Here's also a Spider Suit built according to your design."
General Wang said with a smile.
Arthur took it and thanked him again.
Afterward, he went to check on Dr. Banner and nodded when he saw that Dr. Banner had successfully integrated.
Many people in Hong Kong speak English, and there were already quite a few foreign experts at the Dome Base.
Dr. Banner didn't have to worry about language issues.
Moreover, people here respected each other, unlike how General Ross treated him, which made him feel very comfortable.
Of course, he was comfortable.
The people in the Marvel Universe, however, were a bit anxious.
Especially S.H.I.E.L.D., who had been monitoring him, suddenly discovered that Bruce Banner had vanished.
This puzzled Nick Fury.
He still wanted to form the Avengers.
Dr. Banner was one of its members.
...
"Gwen, anything happen today?"
Arthur invited Gwen out for dinner and asked once the dishes were served.
"No."
Gwen shook her head, a little embarrassed.
Before, she always had to leave.
But now it was better; after the riot at Raft Prison, New York had increased its patrol efforts, and crime had significantly decreased.
Gwen no longer had to run off like before.
So, they rarely had a normal dinner together.
After eating, Arthur paid the bill and raised his arm.
Gwen hesitated for a moment upon seeing this, then directly linked her arm with his.
Arthur smiled and said, "I've prepared a gift for you, but how will you thank me?"
Gwen only hesitated for a moment before directly kissing Arthur 's cheek.
"Not enough, one more time."
Arthur laughed.
Gwen also let go and pressed closer.
Then, at this moment, Arthur turned his head and directly kissed her.
"Mmm!"
This was Gwen's first time, and she was a bit flustered for a moment.
No wonder, since she was a solitary person.
She didn't even have many friends.
So she was very inexperienced.
"Boss!"
After a while, Arthur finally let her go, which made Gwen a bit shy.
Arthur then said, "Let's go, see what I have for you."
The two got into bumblebee and went to a secluded place.
Arthur then took out something similar to the Iron Man Suit.
It looked like a chip.
"Just put it on your body and tap twice."
Arthur said to Gwen.
Gwen did as told, placed it on herself, and then tapped twice with her hand.
"User identity bound."
Gwen only heard the voice of an artificial intelligence, and then the nano-factors began to flow.
This feeling was very strange, like flowing attached to clothes, and then it quickly enveloped her.
She looked down at her hands and feet; she was already wearing the Spider Suit.
"What is this?"
She immediately asked Arthur .
"This is the Spider Suit I made for you; it's much better than just wearing some cloth."
Arthur said shamelessly.
Anyway, Gwen didn't know who made it.
And in Gwen's mind, he had always been a genius scientist.
Gwen felt warm inside and asked, "What functions does it have?"
This time, Red Queen answered her.
Arthur didn't bother to make another artificial intelligence; they couldn't make one.
As long as Red Queen supervised, it was fine.
"This suit possesses extremely strong defensive capabilities, capable of withstanding physical damage and artillery attacks."
"It has a built-in temperature system, installed flight wings for gliding from high altitudes, and also Spider Drones, etc..."
Red Queen introduced them one by one, making Gwen very excited.
Of course, essential was the web-fluid, which was easier to carry and keep on her person than her previous suit.
"This suit needs to be charged; don't forget when you go back."
Arthur said.
He also gave the charging device to Gwen.
"Okay, Boss."
Gwen nodded excitedly.
Arthur didn't mind; she wouldn't change her way of addressing him anytime soon.
Then, Gwen immediately went to test her new suit.
This made Arthur shrug; he should have known to take her back and give it to her tomorrow.
Gwen was seen swinging with her web-fluid, quickly arriving in a bustling area.
Few people on the ground noticed her.
It wasn't until she flew close to the ground, holding onto her web-fluid, that passersby noticed her.
Many people from out of town came specifically to see Ghost Spider.
They immediately took out their phones to take pictures.
However, this opportunity was fleeting; in an instant, Ghost Spider disappeared.
At this moment, Gwen had already reached a high altitude, surpassing tall buildings with a few swings.
"Red Queen, open the flight wings!"
Her back area changed, and the Nano Suit instantly transformed like a wingsuit, while Red Queen also planned out a flight path and the 'wind direction' between the city for her.
So, her speed began to soar, and she didn't need web-fluid, nor would she fall, flying directly with the help of the wind.
Just like those extreme athletes who play wingsuit flying.
It was very nice.
This was much more fun than before; Gwen immediately got hooked.
The reason she was so enthusiastic about being Spider-Man, besides punishing evil and promoting good.
It was also because it was fun.
That feeling of swinging through the city with web-fluid was more addictive than any game.
Now it was even more exhilarating, making her not want to go home.
Chapter 108 Brave New World
North Pole.
The S.H.I.E.L.D. survey team members were full of complaints.
After all, this mission was somewhat inexplicable.
The higher-ups just threw a coordinate at them and told them to search everywhere, without specifying what they were looking for.
So, after searching for so long, they had gradually covered the entire area.
If they still couldn't find anything, there was nothing they could do.
Just then, a voice came through the walkie-talkie: "Captain, metal detected."
"Let's go take a look."
The Captain of the team instantly perked up.
The higher-ups had promised him a promotion and a raise once he found it.
Currently, only the top echelons of S.H.I.E.L.D. knew what they were looking for, so HYDRA couldn't object.
But Captain America was, after all, their most hated enemy…
Soon, the team's Captain braved the wind and snow and rushed over.
The two team members who had discovered it first had already found it.
"Captain, aircraft wreckage found!"
They were bold enough to go directly inside and investigate.
This made the Captain curse under his breath and quicken his pace.
Fortunately, the credit belonged to everyone.
They quickly spotted the aircraft wreckage; the plane looked like it was from World War II at least.
This was an antique!
Then, their metal detectors started beeping.
Sweeping away the ice, they saw a shield with the U.S. flag on it.
"This is… Captain America?"
Everyone exchanged glances, somewhat horrified.
Although, they reported it to the higher-ups, each with their own thoughts.
Not long after, a S.H.I.E.L.D. Quinjet arrived and excavated the ice block.
Captain America Steve Rogers had been frozen for decades, and thawing him out rashly now would likely cause him to die instantly.
Technology had to be used.
…
Maria Hill told Arthur about this.
She was almost developed into an insider by Arthur .
After all, she could vaguely see the future of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Moreover, Arthur had been brainwashing her, saying that S.H.I.E.L.D. couldn't protect the World at all, so they should do it themselves.
Thus, Maria Hill also left herself a fallback option.
She wasn't stupid; on the contrary, she was very shrewd.
"It will take some time for Steve Rogers to awaken. Have you thought about how to help him accept modern life?"
Arthur asked.
"It might be difficult."
Maria Hill said gravely, "After all, decades have passed since the time he lived."
"I have a method."
Arthur smiled, "Let him go to the Oasis."
The number of online users in the Oasis was increasing, and it had truly become a second World.
Just by taking a percentage from each transaction, Stark Industries and Future Technology Companyhad made a fortune.
Two percent commission on every transaction.
Two dollars commission on one hundred dollars.
It didn't seem like much, but as the number of transactions increased, the platform became the most profitable.
Arthur was also secretly pleased; no wonder everyone wanted to be a platform to make money.
And now, many people made a living from the Oasis, treating playing games as a profession.
However, this was a game where even ordinary people could have a profession.
Because ordinary players only needed to farm gold to exchange for cash, no matter how much.
Therefore, studios also emerged.
Intelligent people gathered together to team up and farm gold coins.
But fortunately, the Oasis was linked to identity, and one had to wear a helmet to log in and play.
Unlike computer games, where you could operate by just turning on a computer.
This also avoided the issue of studios having multiple accounts per person.
So Arthur was also hesitating, should he crack down on studios?
As long as their accounts were blocked, preventing them from ever playing the Oasis again…
These people would surely go crazy.
People who had played the Oasis would never be able to leave it in this life.
Just like people who played with their phones.
If they didn't have a phone to play with one day, they would go crazy.
Maria Hill herself had played the Oasis and was somewhat addicted.
But she was an Agent after all, very determined, and managed to break free every day to continue working.
"Is this okay?"
"What's wrong with it? Let the old ice cube interact more with modern people, and he'll be able to integrate."
Arthur said casually.
When he thought he was in reality, but was actually in a game, and then got beaten black and blue, he would probably behave.
Thus, with Maria Hill, the Deputy Director, giving her nod,
After Captain America Steve Rogers was thawed, he was directly placed into an Oasis nutrient capsule.
Many wealthy individuals now pursued such nutrient capsule equipment.
Because this allowed them to play games day and night, without having to exit the game even for eating or sleeping.
And Steve Rogers, who hadn't fully awakened yet, still had his consciousness, so he directly entered the Oasis.
Red Queen thoughtfully changed his appearance to that of Captain America.
So when he appeared bewildered in the game lobby, a player dressed as Ryu walked over.
"Hey, what era is this? Still playing Captain America? I suggest you change your appearance."
Steve Rogers looked at the other person, feeling a bit strange: "Who are you? Where is this?"
"You're not an idiot, are you?"
The Ryu player looked speechless: "My name is 'Fighting Just Relies on Rising Dragon Fist'. This is the Oasis. How did you get to the Oasis without knowing it?"
"Oasis?"
Steve Rogers looked down and saw himself wearing Captain America's uniform, with a Vibraniumshield on his back.
"Holy cow, a Vibranium shield! You're not a noob, you're tricking me, aren't you!"
'Fighting Just Relies on Rising Dragon Fist' shouted.
In the Oasis, all game items had to be purchased with gold coins.
And while a Vibranium shield wasn't expensive, it wasn't something a noob could afford.
So, the real noob Ryu player directly pulled Steve Rogers towards the teleportation area and ran.
"Come on, I'll take you to a dungeon to farm gold together."
Steve Rogers didn't know what was happening, so he chose to remain silent and followed the other person.
Then, he felt as if he had arrived in a future World.
Various colorful and fantastical landscapes overwhelmed him.
And those spaceships, hovercars, and cityscapes like something out of cyberpunk.
Plus, everyone's appearance was so peculiar…
And all kinds of animals?
"Is this the Brave New World?"
Steve Rogers was instantly confused.
Rising Dragon Fist immediately laughed: "This is the Oasis, yes, it's the New World."
"No wonder it's called the Oasis."
Steve Rogers sighed somewhat.
His memory was still stuck in World War II, and he still remembered owing Carter a dance.
But who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, he had arrived in such a New World.
But even so, he still wanted to go back.
Because he felt unable to integrate into this World, he felt as if he was out of place here…
Uh, it didn't seem like he was out of place, because everyone else's bizarre outfits were even more extreme than his.
Did people not mind turning themselves into monsters?
But he quickly couldn't think about it anymore.
Because this person named Rising Dragon Fist led him into a dungeon portal, arriving on another Planet.
Then, insects emerged from underground, surrounding the two of them.
"Quick, move!"
Rising Dragon Fist immediately shouted, "Kill the bugs, there's gold!"
Chapter 109: Changes in the World
On an alien battlefield.
A man resembling Ryu was sweeping away bugs with an M9 machine gun he purchased with gold coins.
From time to time, he would also pull out a Quasar Cannon and fire a shot at the insectoids in the distance, which resembled giant beetles.
Captain America, Steve Rogers, on the other hand, held a Vibranium shield and, relying on his combat skills, cut the bugs in half with the shield.
Soon, a wave of bugs ended.
Rising Dragon Fist first checked his ammunition; he could still fight two more waves.
Captain America, Steve, then said, "It seems this World isn't all good."
"Uh, this is an instance, like a challenge."
Rising Dragon Fist said, "If we defeat the bugs, we can get gold coins. Take a look, how many gold coins do you have?"
He taught Steve Rogers how to open his interface.
Steve Rogers was immediately surprised; there was this too?
Then, he saw that he had several hundred gold coins.
"Over nine hundred."
"What the?!"
Rising Dragon Fist was instantly astonished: "One thousand gold coins equals one hundred U.S. dollars. You've almost made a hundred already?"
"Damn it! I thought I killed all the bugs!"
He then looked at the gold coins he had earned, on the verge of tears.
Turns out, all the kills were stolen.
Steve Rogers twitched his mouth, but he finally heard something familiar.
"U.S. dollars?"
"That's right, game currency can be exchanged for U.S. dollars."
"So, this is a game?"
Steve Rogers was not unfamiliar with this term, but the games he remembered were not like the current Oasis.
However, before he could ask more, a new wave of bugs arrived.
There was no choice; the two could only fight to the Death.
By the time this wave was over, Rising Dragon Fist was truly out of options.
He fired frantically to steal kills.
This led to him truly only being able to fight in close quarters later.
And true to his name, he only spent money to learn Rising Dragon Fist...
So, on the battlefield, he could only continuously shout 'Hadouken!'
This made Steve Rogers laugh.
"Do you only know one move?"
"I only learned this one move; Ryu's moves are too expensive!"
Rising Dragon Fist said helplessly.
In the Oasis, almost everything had to be bought with money.
Of course, when newcomers came in, the game still gave some basic equipment, but skills were out of the question.
But that basic equipment was useless to them.
"Let's go, we'll head back first."
Rising Dragon Fist took Steve back to the lobby.
"With gold coins, you can do anything, such as enjoying yourself at a bar, or going racing, and so on."
He introduced everything about the Oasis.
In the Oasis, not everyone liked fighting.
Therefore, there were other ways to earn gold coins.
The professions were similar to those in reality, like hostessing...
There were also games for girls, such as various dress-up games.
And those more casual games were also popular among girls.
The Oasis was very cruel; once a game character died, all items and gold coins would be lost.
Fortunately, in most places, players were not allowed to fight each other.
There were special places for fighting, and they were also extremely dangerous.
It could be described as the dark forest law.
And those who didn't want to take risks could completely avoid such places.
Steve Rogers immediately understood.
He invited Rising Dragon Fist for a drink.
Rising Dragon Fist asked, "How much did you spend on all these combat skills?"
"Uh, I trained these myself."
Steve Rogers already knew this was a game, so he didn't say much.
Fortunately, Rising Dragon Fist didn't ask further.
He had a drink and then exclaimed, "My mom is calling me, I'm going offline now, let's add each other as friends."
Steve readily said, "Okay."
"Next time we'll go racing. There's a race map that no one has cleared yet."
Rising Dragon Fist said, "I heard there are a lot of gold coin rewards for clearing it, and many experts have been preparing for it. Let's go experience it too."
"Okay."
Steve Rogers nodded, a little interested.
He was becoming more and more curious about the Oasis.
How was such a new World created?
Could it be Howard Stark who created it?
In his impression, only a genius like Howard Stark could do such a thing.
Subsequently, Rising Dragon Fist, who relied on fighting, went offline right in front of him.
The entire character dissipated like sand, which was somewhat surprising.
Steve reached out and grabbed, but nothing was left.
He fell into thought.
Rising Dragon Fist could go offline.
Then how could he go offline?
He summoned the interface, clicked offline, but a prompt popped up: "Time remaining until offline: 48 hours."
He was not allowed to go offline!
...
S.H.I.E.L.D. had been monitoring Captain America, Steve Rogers's situation.
An Agent nearby removed the virtual device.
"We were preparing to communicate with him, but he was taken away by another player."
This S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent said helplessly.
"But the situation seems good; he has already understood the Oasis."
"And there's no stress reaction."
"It's good as long as he slowly accepts the new World."
Nick Fury nodded.
His biggest concern was Captain America, Steve Rogers's inability to accept the changes in the World.
After all, it had been almost seventy years since he was frozen.
Seventy years of vast changes were not that easy to accept.
It was just that America hadn't changed much.
If it were China, the changes in those seventy years would have been too great.
"Is his body okay?"
"No, due to the freezing, his physical condition is good."
"Very good."
Nick Fury was even a little envious.
After so many years, Captain America was still Captain America.
And now, his mission was still to deal with HYDRA...
He just didn't know if he was prepared this time.
Subsequently, S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel entered the game and began to make contact with Captain America.
They began to prepare Steve Rogers for what was to come.
They took Steve Rogers into maps related to modern cities, telling him about the changes in this World.
Steve Rogers also noticed and quickly guessed that these people were from America.
So he cooperated well in accepting modern knowledge.
However, he felt that it was still very difficult for him to integrate.
After all, everyone he knew was different now.
On the other side.
Arthur also took off his helmet, then tore off the machine attached to his temple.
This was the latest brain-computer interface device; no surgery was required.
It just needed to be attached to the temple, but there would be a slight tingling sensation.
However, the effect was also very obvious, making it easier to perform actions in the Oasis.
Arthur had just gone to experience a rally race.
He always felt that rally racing was more fun than F1 racing.
After all, rally cars could drift.
This immersive feeling was what made the Oasis the most fun.
Jill also loved playing in the Oasis and found it very addictive.
However, she was practicing skills and marksmanship in the Oasis.
She hadn't learned any skills but relied on her real-World abilities.
The result was being brutally beaten by players...
Chapter 110 Handsome
There's nothing happening in New York.
Arthur wasn't idle either.
Since he already had the Nanotech Suit, he was ready to open up other Worlds.
Now his reputation value was over five billion, just a little short of being able to exchange for the potion.
In this situation, he naturally had to work hard.
So he got ready, fully charged the Iron Man Suit, and gave the protective shield he had previously obtained from Rick Sanchez to Jill.
After all, Jill was a mortal, unlike Eve and the others whose combat power was off the charts.
This was the first time it was used, and a halo of light protected Jill.
"Are you ready?"
"Of course."
The group nodded, then walked into the portal.
When they crossed over, they found themselves deep in the mountains.
No matter where they looked, there were only trees.
And without a network, Red Queen couldn't know too much.
Arthur said, "You wait for me on the ground, don't move around."
"Okay, Master."
Eve and Swift had already taken out their Blood Blades, and 2B was even more exaggerated, directly carrying her greatsword, 'virtuous treaty'.
Their electronic eyes began to scan the surrounding environment, and 2B actually found something.
Because she was a complete android, she was more perceptive.
She could analyze through aura, traces, and so on.
She analyzed it and told Jill and the others next to her, "The creatures here seem a bit large..."
"Are they as big as Kaiju?"
Jill asked.
"I don't know."
2B honestly shook her head, having no thoughts in her mind.
At this moment, Arthur had already put on his Nanotech Suit and soared into the sky.
He really needed to find a time to show off in front of Tony; he guaranteed Tony Stark would call him Master.
He hovered in mid-air and discovered that this was a huge island, surrounded by the ocean.
However, looking further into the distance, there seemed to be some kind of interference.
It was a bit strange.
"Roar!"
Just then, a roar came from afar.
Arthur turned his head and immediately saw a behemoth.
"Handsome Guy?"
The one roaring in the distance was none other than Kong.
This was clearly not the classic King Kong who climbed the Empire State Building to fight planes, but a much larger one.
So Arthur also didn't have the chance to see Naomi Watts.
However, he couldn't help but sigh that Naomi Watts was a rare late-blooming actress; she only made her breakthrough in her thirties, and she could still make King Kong climb the Empire State Building for her...
Then it was obvious, this was Skull Island.
This also made Arthur and his group face their biggest crisis.
What to do without a network?
The magnetic field of Skull Island was clearly different from other places on Earth; signals could not be transmitted out from here.
They could only wait for someone to come in, or go out themselves.
Given Arthur 's personality, waiting was naturally not his style, so he had an idea.
But no matter what, he should first get acquainted with Handsome Guy.
However, at this moment, sounds of battle came from below.
"Master, Eve and the others are in trouble."
Arthur quickly flew down.
They had encountered a giant centipede, which looked very disgusting.
Fortunately, they were agile; Jill directly rolled to the side and opened fire with her gun.
She carried Future Technology Company's energy weapon, and one shot blasted onto the giant centipede, only creating a black hole.
There was no other effect.
"Shit!"
Jill was a bit irritable.
Eve, Swift, and 2B were like monster grinders, with the three of them surrounding and attacking the giant centipede.
And this didn't even require Arthur to make a move.
Swift activated Sandevistan, turning into a time-stopping sword saint, and instantly dismembered the giant centipede.
"Boom!"
Arthur landed, directly raised his hand, and fired a shot at its head.
At such a close range, the giant centipede couldn't withstand Arthur 's electromagnetic cannon.
It's a pity he wasn't some big shot with a railgun...
"Let's go, I found the Master of this place, we'll greet it and then go back."
Arthur also didn't want to stay on Skull Island for long; it was too dangerous and not fun.
What he cared more about was how to leave this World from Skull Island.
The group headed in the direction where King Kong had just appeared.
Actually, Arthur wanted to go by himself and let Eve and the others go back first.
But they were all very stubborn and insisted on protecting Arthur .
The result was constant battles along the way.
The creatures on Skull Island had all mutated; everything had become gigantic, even just a beetle.
But fortunately, Eve and the others' swords were even sharper.
Arthur had drawn 'Weapon Cores' a lot; Weapon Cores could increase the base attack of Blood Blade, naturally including sharpness and other aspects.
It could be said that these two Blood Blades, which could turn into hair clips at any time, were nothing short of divine artifacts.
2B's virtuous treaty was relatively ordinary and had no direction for improvement for now.
Soon, they arrived at a cliff edge.
"Master, is the creature you're looking for here?"
Eve asked, puzzled.
Her voice was very gentle, especially that 'Master', which always made Arthur feel very pleased when he heard it.
"I found it."
Arthur patted Eve's head and then said.
"Roar!"
Sure enough, a large hand reached up from below and grabbed onto the edge of the cliff.
Just by looking at this giant hand, Eve and the others felt they could sit on it.
This hand was too big.
What kind of creature must this be?
Then, Kong's head extended out, looking somewhat sneaky.
Its large eyes looked at everyone, immediately making Eve and the others nervous, protecting Arthur .
"This is... King Kong?"
Jill recognized it.
After all, the Resident Evil World wasn't completely without entertainment.
It's just that Jill didn't care about these things; her background was poor.
Jill's father was a thief...
Therefore, her childhood wasn't very good, and she didn't even know about Marvel comics or anything like that.
"Yes."
Arthur said, and then communicated with King Kong.
"Hey, Handsome Guy, we're tourists to Skull Island!"
Kong naturally didn't understand.
But Arthur had telepathy.
In such times, telepathy was a divine skill.
It didn't require both parties to have a common language; they could communicate directly within their minds.
"Roar!"
King Kong also felt very surprised that it could communicate, and it roared happily for a moment.
As a result, it didn't hold on tight.
"Bang!!"
It almost fell down.
Then it quickly climbed back up.
"Where are you from?"
"..."
Arthur communicated with it.
Speaking of which, King Kong was also very lonely.
Because it was the only one of its kind still living on Skull Island, without even a single companion.
This life had continued for many years.
Suddenly, someone who could communicate with it came, even if it was just a human, similar to those it had seen decades ago, but it was happy enough.
So the two sides had a pleasant exchange; King Kong wanted Arthur and his group to stay and play with it, and promised to protect them.
Arthur said he would come often, but would not stay.
This made King Kong a little disappointed.
Arthur also learned that a team of people had come decades ago.
He recalled it and roughly knew the plot.
That should have been a very luxurious team.
Because this team gathered Nick Fury, Loki, and Captain Marvel...
