Chapter 39 - Chapter 39: The BOSS Who Appeared in Less Than Two Hundred Words

The task 'Hulk's Rage' has been completed!

Rewards obtained: 3000 experience points, 50 S.H.I.E.L.D. reputation, 'Hormone Gun' equipment, 'Impeccable' item, 'Invisibility Potion' item.

Equipment: Hormone Gun (Fires multiple tracking healing bullets, slowly healing the target while temporarily suppressing various abnormal states).

Item: Impeccable (Impeccably blocks any attack once; can be impeccably blocked by impeccable, and can also impeccably block impeccable impeccable impeccable...).

Item: Invisibility Potion (After use, the entire body enters an invisible state, lasting for half an hour).

The rewards this time are quite good!

Du Mu was very satisfied, especially with Impeccable, which can block any attack without taking damage, truly a god-tier item.

He'll give that game a good review when he gets back!

"Um, could you please help me find some clothes and pants?" Bruce asked, a bit embarrassed.

Due to the Hulk transformation, Bruce's underwear had become XXXXXXL, and he had to hold it up with his hand to keep it from slipping when he walked.

"Oh, in that case, follow me." Du Mu nodded and turned to walk into a nearby alley.

Bruce was puzzled but followed him.

Soon, they encountered several ruffian street thugs in the alley.

Seeing the two appear, the street thugs seemed to trigger some fixed program and immediately surrounded them.

"Hey, lend me some money... Big brother, don't shoot!"

Seeing the golden desert eagle in Du Mu's hand, the street thugs immediately skillfully raised their hands.

Du Mu turned his head to look at the dumbfounded Bruce and said, "Come over and pick one; take whichever set you like. Oh, by the way, do you have any specific requirements for underwear styles?"

Bruce: "..."

Soon, Bruce changed into a new outfit, a classic West Coast style.

Afterward, Bruce said he had to leave; he had a very important matter that he needed to complete.

Seeing Bruce's resolute attitude, Du Mu called Director Fury and relayed Bruce's words to him.

Director Fury thought for a moment: "Let him go. I'll have someone monitor all his upcoming actions."

"Understood, Officer."

"And my car..."

Du Mu decisively hung up the phone.

Are you kidding? There's no way he'd return a car he drove away, not even for the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.!

...

The next day.

Du Mu was at home, engrossed in a comic book.

He unintentionally discovered that DC Comics actually existed in this game World.

You know, DC and Marvel are famously rivals; after all, both are superhero companies, so competition is inevitable.

Yet, in a game with a Marvel background, there was a DC comic book!

Was this an Easter egg in the game?

To be honest, Du Mu was quite familiar with Superman.

In his era, DC had already rebooted the Universe for the 28th time and was about to film 'New New New New New New Superman: Prequel.'

With a Superman movie coming out every year, it was hard for Du Mu not to know about him.

Out of curiosity, Du Mu opened the DC comic book and ended up reading it for half the day.

He found that DC's superheroes had some similarities to the superheroes he encountered in this game World.

Especially Batman and Night Devil.

Both protected a chaotic area, wore pointed-ear cowls, and preferred to appear at night.

And they both had an unbreakable underlying code... oh no, a bottom line, which was the no-kill rule.

It's just that Matt Lawyer wasn't as rich as Bruce Wayne; after fighting criminals at night, he still had to go to work in the morning to earn money, which made him feel a pang of sadness.

Speaking of which, Batman's archenemy, the Joker, did have a bit of a player feel to him.

Absolutely insane!

Just as Du Mu was absorbed in his reading, the system's voice suddenly rang out.

"Player, please note, the BOSS event has officially begun!"

"Target: Defeat 'Whiplash' Ivan Vanko!"

"Reward: Determined by the amount of damage the player inflicts on the BOSS; the higher the damage, the richer the reward!"

"Hmm?"

Du Mu raised an eyebrow.

Who secretly started the BOSS event?

...

New York, Stark Expo.

Tony, wearing his Iron Man armor, was flying rapidly through the air.

Behind him, a dozen Iron Soldiers followed closely, continuously firing attacks at him.

Leading them was his good friend, Colonel Rhodey, now War Machine.

Boom!!

Tony narrowly avoided a missile and shouted to Rhodey through the internal communicator: "Rhodey, are you sure this isn't personal?"

Rhodey helplessly replied: "Ivan Vanko hacked into Hammer Industries' system and took control of this armor. What could I do?"

Hearing this, Tony's mouth twitched: "You shouldn't have allowed Hammer Industries to touch your armor! Don't you know their system is like a public restroom that anyone can enter?"

Besides Rhodey's War Machine, the other Iron Soldiers were all from Hammer Industries, built by that Russian man named Ivan Vanko.

This guy had previously attacked Tony on the F1 track in Monaco, almost electrocuting him into a Black man.

And now, he had taken control of War Machine and the other Iron Soldiers to collectively besiege Tony, determined to kill him.

Fortunately, with Du Mu's life extension, Tony had enough time to research a new energy source to replace palladium, giving his armor a more abundant energy supply, so he wasn't worn down by these Iron Soldiers.

Just then, Natasha's voice came through Tony's earpiece: "I've already infiltrated Hammer Industries' system and am preparing to reboot Colonel Rhodey's armor."

Tony's heart filled with joy: "Well done, Agent Romanoff."

He was right, Hammer Industries' system was indeed a restroom!

To prevent Rhodey from crashing, Tony immediately controlled his armor to land in the simulated ecological park below, with the Iron Soldiers behind him also diving down.

As soon as War Machine landed, Tony immediately shouted: "Now!"

The next moment, War Machine's system rebooted, finally breaking Ivan's control.

Tony and Rhodey exchanged glances, and without needing to say more, immediately turned their guns and fiercely opened fire on the other Iron Soldiers.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

Explosions rang out one after another!

Soon, under the combined attack of Tony and Rhodey, these Iron Soldiers were blasted into piles of smoking scrap metal.

But their armors were also severely damaged, their surfaces charred black and riddled with bullet holes, appearing extremely battered.

Before Tony could even catch his breath, Jarvis's voice suddenly rang out: "Sir, there's a high-energy fluctuation in the sky, readings far exceeding the Iron Soldier's peak."

"Ivan Vanko!!"

Tony knew who it was without even thinking.

Indeed, a few seconds later, a massive armored suit descended from the sky, crashing heavily in front of them.

The giant helmet slowly opened, revealing Ivan's unkempt face.

He looked down at Tony Stark and said in broken English with a Russian accent: "It's good to be back."

With such a cool entrance, Ivan expected to see a shocked expression on Tony's face.

However, he found Tony looking at him with a strange expression.

Ivan frowned: "Stark, are you scared senseless?"

Tony, hearing someone's voice suddenly in his ear, twitched his mouth: "I wonder if you've ever heard a saying?"

"What saying?"

"Who pilots a mech without wearing a helmet?"

"?"

Bang!

Before Ivan could understand, he heard a gunshot!

And then.

There was no 'and then'.

Under Tony's helpless gaze and Rhodey's bewildered stare, Ivan's head exploded, and along with his newly unveiled Whiplash armor, he crashed heavily to the ground.

A generation of super villains.

Appeared for less than ten seconds, and just like that, he was gone!
