Chapter 161 I am a mutant
In the evening, Su Yi went to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and only then learned from Jean Grey that Mystique Raven had visited.
Fortunately, Anna was fine and was rescued.
However, Professor X ultimately let Mystique Raven go, which was also expected.
Professor X also made his final decision: starting tomorrow, the Mutant Rise plan would be fully implemented.
This decision was not made by Professor X alone, but was the result of discussions with several X-Men.
Doing so naturally carried risks.
Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters would be exposed, and they, along with the students in the school, might face danger.
However, Professor X also believed that those people would not be so blatant.
Moreover, they were not alone; Su Yi and others would also help them.
Risks were definitely present, but they had to consider not only themselves and those in the school, but also many Mutants who were in danger.
Su Yi sighed, the original members of the Avengers had all appeared.
Mutants were also about to appear in the public eye.
Next, it would definitely be an era of changing fortunes and a free-for-all among super-powered individuals.
Su Yi was not too worried; at least, the Superheroes' forces had already taken shape, and some petty Villains didn't even require Su Yi to intervene.
Su Yi lingered there for a while, then quietly asked Anna to come out.
Anna had encountered Mystique, but fortunately, she was rescued.
After resting for an afternoon and recovering, she was full of energy.
After the two secretly chatted for a while, they continued to try to transfer energy to Anna.
Su Yi expected new changes to occur after Anna absorbed more energy.
The energy transfer process lasted for over an hour, and only ended after Anna's body reached its limit.
Anna's ability also evolved again.
Last time, Anna's energy basically did not decay, remaining permanently, and she also gained the ability to fly.
This time, Anna gained a new ability: telepathy.
However, Anna's telepathy was still relatively weak, far from comparable to Su Yi's, let alone on par with a great god like Professor X.
Nevertheless, Anna's growth rate was very impressive; as long as Su Yi frequently transferred energy, Anna would definitely grow rapidly.
Based on this estimation, Anna's potential was also immeasurable.
As Anna improved again, Su Yi also received feedback.
"By transferring energy, I can continuously enhance Anna's abilities, and I will receive feedback."
"By receiving feedback, I can become stronger."
"This way, I can transfer more energy to Anna, allowing her to gain more powerful abilities."
"Unfortunately, the system's rewards are relatively few; it can only be considered positive feedback. If the system rewards were more, that would be called exploiting a bug."
After a short rest, Anna quietly returned to the castle, preparing to go back to rest.
As soon as she entered the castle, she saw Jean Grey.
"Anna, were you just outside?"
Anna remembered being with Su Yi just now and immediately felt guilty.
"I, I was a bit too awake and couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk."
Jean Grey also had telepathic abilities, but had never developed them due to fear.
She could only sense that Anna was a bit guilty, as if she was lying, but couldn't perceive the specific reason.
"Mystique may not give up, so you still need to be careful and get some rest early."
"Teacher Qin, good night."
"Good night."
Anna breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran back to her bedroom.
One could only say it was extremely thrilling; if she had been discovered, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
After Anna returned to her room, she also sent a message to Su Yi, recounting her recent experience.
For now, she still had to keep it a secret for a while, and then confess to Jean Grey at an appropriate time... A new day, and Su Yi had new plans.
Meanwhile, Professor X had already begun to act.
As one of the high-IQ representatives in the Marvel Universe, Professor X held multiple degrees in fields such as biology and psychology.
Today, Professor X originally had an academic lecture, the theme of which was human evolution and Mutants.
Due to the Mutant incident, this topic was very popular, and many students attended.
This was not just an academic lecture; Professor X also planned to make an official announcement at this lecture.
Although Peter was not a biology student, due to his own mutation, he was very interested in this lecture and naturally planned to listen to it.
Gwen, not studying biology, did not attend.
Before the academic lecture even began, and with only a few students present, many media outlets had already arrived, having caught wind of the event.
Mutants were a hot topic, and Professor X was a relatively famous Professor in the field of biology, so many people hoped that Professor X would offer some profound insights.
Peter was very excited and arrived at the venue early.
Seeing the large crowd of reporters, he was amazed; there were simply too many people.
"Wow, it's really lively. What a pity that Su is not interested in this academic lecture."
Peter, without a friend to accompany him, could only wander around by himself.
Finally, the lecture began.
Professor X, from an academic perspective, discussed the reasons for human evolution and the process of evolution.
Of course, Mutants were also a manifestation of evolution and one of the themes of the academic lecture, so Professor X naturally mentioned them from time to time.
The lecture lasted for nearly an hour, and many students actively asked questions.
"Professor, I believe that the emergence of Mutants is not the result of human evolution. The evolutionary process is lengthy, yet Mutants are appearing in clusters in this era. I suspect that the emergence of Mutants is artificial."
From an academic standpoint, this view was indeed correct.
But the problem was, this student was a bit too ignorant.
"This student, your point is very good. You think Mutants are appearing in clusters in this era, but weren't there any before?"
"In fact, Mutants appeared a long time ago. Mutants might have existed hundreds, or even thousands of years ago."
"It's just that because science was not developed enough, because information transmission was too slow, coupled with various reasons, people didn't know."
"However, the Mutant gene gradually accumulated through heredity, becoming more and more numerous."
"Coupled with factors such as environmental changes, many Mutant genes became apparent, turning into Mutants."
..."Then, Professor Xavier, do you think the emergence of Mutants is good or bad?"
Professor X patiently elaborated on his views, "Everything has two sides, a good side and a bad side."
"I think the emergence of Mutants will bring a lot of trouble. For example, Mutants are superior to ordinary people, which is fundamentally unfair and will cause many social problems. Moreover, Mutants also possess abilities and can easily kill ordinary people. I have heard of Mutants harming people, but I have never heard of Mutants doing anything good."
Professor X listened attentively, "I think everyone has no need to worry about Mutants; gun violence clearly harms more people."
"As for Mutants only doing bad things and no good things, the reason is also very simple: because most Mutants dare not expose their Mutant identity."
"Once they expose their identity, the people around them will be afraid, will be jealous, making it impossible for them to live normal lives. In fact, many Mutants, even though innocent, are arrested and detained. And many Mutants are captured for experiments."
"I know these things, because I am a Mutant!"
Chapter 162 End of Speech
Professor X's on-the-spot announcement of his Mutantidentity immediately caused an uproar.
Many people hadn't expected Professor X to actually dare to admit his Mutant identity.
The students and reporters present were all shocked.
This was huge news.
It was known that Councilman Robert, who had gone missing not long ago, was suspected to be a victim of a Mutant.
At this critical juncture, Professor X actually admitted his Mutant identity.
Mystique Raven had long since transformed into an ordinary person, sitting in a chair, quietly watching Professor X.
Professor X really made the official announcement; it seemed he was truly planning to make a change.
However, Raven knew that human fear and discrimination would not disappear.
When people learned he was a Mutant, he and the students of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters would undoubtedly be implicated.
In contrast, Professor X was still somewhat idealistic.
Having experienced much, Raven knew that reality was often much crueler.
"Charles, you're thinking too optimistically. These people won't be as you imagine."
"They will only fear, discriminate, and want to eliminate us!"
"By doing this, you'll only drag yourself and the students in the school down with you."
Raven was not disappointed in Professor X; on the contrary, seeing Professor X willing to stand up and work for Mutants made her even happier.
At the same time, she couldn't help but worry for Professor X.
Indeed, after Professor X revealed his identity, he was immediately met with skepticism from some people.
"Professor Xavier, was Councilman Robert's disappearance recently truly related to Mutants?"
Professor X was almost certain that Magneto had done it.
However, since he hadn't investigated, he certainly couldn't just speak carelessly.
Moreover, Professor X didn't want to deliberately suppress his good friend on this occasion.
Professor X's goal was to help Mutants, not to start infighting now.
"Regarding Councilman Robert's fate, I am not privy to the inside story."
"However, Councilman Robert's previous remarks, blaming all problems on Mutants, I strongly disagree with."
"For many years, Mutants have been subjected to persecution."
"In the northern part of this state, there is a Mutant Prison. Many innocent Mutants, who have committed no crime and undergone no trial, are directly imprisoned."
"There are also many who covet Mutant abilities, secretly capturing numerous Mutants for inhumane experiments."
"Because of this, the vast majority of Mutants can only live in hiding, like I did before, concealing their Mutant identity."
"And once their Mutant identity is discovered, they are forced to wander, otherwise they are very likely to be captured."
Many people naturally didn't believe Professor X's words.
"Professor Xavier, do you have any evidence? We haven't heard of such things."
Professor X had long anticipated this, "Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. After this speech, I will hire a renowned lawyer to use legal means to allow those innocent Mutants who are imprisoned to return to society!"
After Professor X revealed his identity, his first target was the Mutant Prison.
The people present discussed animatedly; if what Professor X said was true, that would be huge news.
In this land of freedom, such things actually existed, which was simply appalling.
Professor X calmly and composedly answered a series of questions.
Such a big event occurred during an academic lecture.
The lecture finally ended, and Professor X prepared to leave to find a law firm to help him resolve these lawsuits.
Just as he was about to leave, Mystique, disguised as someone attending the lecture, quietly approached Professor X.
"Charles, you will fail. They are not to be trusted at all."
Professor X could naturally sense her true identity.
"Perhaps, but it's worth a try."
Mystique wasn't there to dissuade Professor X, but to remind him.
After giving her reminder, she naturally had to leave.
Mystique knew that achieving Professor X's goals would be difficult.
Therefore, she had to help, finding a way to obtain some evidence to ensure Professor X's plan could proceed smoothly.
Seeing Mystique leave, Scott was still a bit uneasy.
Having had multiple minor skirmishes with Magneto and Mystique, Scott was very wary of Magneto.
"Professor, will she and Magneto disrupt our plan?"
Professor X, however, trusted his old friend; their goals were the same, they had simply chosen different paths.
Professor X had repeatedly stopped Magneto precisely because of Magneto's methods.
"They are both thinking about the future of Mutants; I don't think they would do that."
Leaving here, Professor X had already begun searching for a suitable law firm.
The City of Freedom has many large law firms.
However, these were not within their consideration; they had already agreed on a law firm.
This law firm was recommended by Su Yi: Matt, the lawyer's, law firm, also known as Daredevil.
Although the firm was small, with only Matt, the lawyer, and Foggy, the lawyer.
However, both were very capable and possessed a sense of justice.
What's more, Matt, the lawyer, had the identity of Daredevil... At this very moment, news of the academic lecture had already spread.
Shocking news began to circulate online.
Professor Xavier is actually a Mutant!
Mutants have actually existed for many years!
Mutants have suffered unfair treatment!
Faced with this news, netizens discussed animatedly.
"There are so many Mutants? That's terrifying."
"I can't believe how dangerous it would be to have a Mutant around."
"Councilman Robert's disappearance must have been done by Mutants. Arrest them."
"What? Aren't Mutants human? Why arrest them if they haven't committed a crime?"
"I haven't actually heard of Mutants harming others, but shootings happen almost every day."
"I don't know what to say anymore, freedom!"
"I'm so envious, I also want superpowers and to become a Superhero like Spider-Man."
Everyone was discussing, and Peter was even more excited beyond words, contacting Su Yi immediately.
"Hey, Su, do you know what I encountered at the academic lecture just now? You absolutely won't believe it."
"Professor Xavier is a Mutant, right?"
"What? How do you know? I contacted you as soon as the lecture ended."
"The internet is obviously faster, and besides, I already knew about this beforehand. Their revealing their identity was actually my suggestion to them."
Peter was speechless. He had originally wanted to share good news.
As a result, Su Yi already knew the good news, and there was no sense of surprise left.
"You suggested it to them? Why?"
"Mutants are in a very bad situation, being captured and persecuted. I'm just helping them so they can live normal lives."
Chapter 163 Reactions from All Parties
The news spread quickly.
At S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury fell into deep thought as he read the news.
After its establishment, S.H.I.E.L.D. had naturally encountered Mutant incidents.
It had investigated and tried to win over Mutants, but the results were not ideal.
This was because incidents of Mutants being captured and used as experimental subjects were real.
Many Mutants were unwilling to show themselves, fearing trouble.
However, after Professor X's actions, more and more Mutants would definitely become active.
If they caused any trouble, S.H.I.E.L.D. might even have to deal with it.
This situation was actually considered relatively good.
The worst-case scenario would naturally be the full exposure of the Mutant Prison and Mutant experiments.
If someone led a large group of Mutants to start causing trouble, the impact would be significant.
Mutants possess various abilities; a single Mutant might be easy to handle.
But a group of Mutants gathered together would definitely have astonishing destructive power.
If an incident of this scale occurred, it could potentially cause more destruction than the Hulk's battle with Abomination.
"Mutants, if not handled carefully, could lead to a backlash, and the consequences would be unimaginable."
Nick Fury knew the situation with those councilmen, and he estimated this matter would cause problems.
Although Professor X's group hadn't agreed to join the Avengers, overall, they could still be won over for cooperation.
If something happened, the number of Avengers might truly not be enough.
Thinking of this, Nick Fury knew that he had to prepare early.
He picked up his leather coat, put it on, and prepared to go find Captain, who was currently practicing boxing, to discuss this matter.
Arriving at the old boxing gym, it was empty except for Captain Steve, who was practicing against a sandbag.
Being alone in this era, Captain Steve, apart from regularly visiting Carter, spent most of his time training, always ready for a mission.
"Captain!"
Steve didn't stop at all; he was just a little surprised by Nick Fury's appearance.
"Director, is there a mission?"
"Not yet, but there will be soon. I came here to inform you to be prepared."
Steve felt a faint sense of anticipation. "I've been preparing for nearly 70 years, so now, who is our enemy?"
Nick Fury said, "Mutants."
Steve looked puzzled, not understanding what he meant at all.
"Mutants?"
Nick Fury had no choice but to patiently explain, "Mutants are people who acquire superpowers due to genetic mutation."
Steve understood a little, but not much.
"The opponent also has superpowers. Is there any specific information? I need to formulate some plans based on the opponent's abilities."
"There's no specific information, and I'm not even sure how many Mutants will become enemies."
Over this period, Steve was slowly adapting to this era and had learned some information.
He knew that there were several Superheroes active in this World.
Now, Mutants had appeared again.
It sounded like there were quite a few of them.
"I originally thought I was the only monster in the World; now it seems I'm quite normal."
"To fight a group of super-powered individuals? I alone won't be enough."
Nick Fury naturally knew that no matter how powerful Captain Steve was, he was still just one person.
Facing a group of Mutants, one Captain Steve would definitely not be enough.
"I've prepared a team!"
Nick Fury took out some documents and placed them in front of Captain.
Nick Fury knew the power of Mutants; if Mutants truly gathered to cause trouble, the few individuals in the Avengers Initiative might not be enough.
If Su Yi could act, that would be ideal.
If not, he would have no choice but to ask Captain Marvelin Space to return for a visit... As Professor X's old rival, Magneto Erik was also watching the video at this moment.
The content of the video was precisely Professor X's speech revealing his identity.
Seeing Professor X's actions, Magneto wasn't worried at all; on the contrary, he was somewhat pleased.
In their youth, the two were good friends.
They had a common goal and fought together.
Later, due to differing ideologies, the two went their separate ways.
But in reality, both were for the future of Mutants.
Professor X came from a wealthy family, had not experienced great hardships, and belonged to the elite class, so he chose to get along amicably with ordinary people, established the Xavier Institute, and rarely appeared in public.
Magneto, on the other hand, came from an ordinary background and had many tragic experiences due to his Mutant identity.
Years of suffering turned Magneto into a radical, even somewhat extreme.
He would use any means necessary for the future of Mutants.
Although the current Professor X still maintained friendliness, he hoped to improve the future of Mutants through relatively gentle means.
"Charles, you've finally realized that we need to fight to secure a better future for Mutants."
"It's just that your plan is destined not to succeed."
"Mutants are far stronger than humans. For the strong, humans want to control them; when humans find they cannot control them, they will choose to destroy them."
"They cannot control Mutants, and thus they will be afraid and will want to eliminate Mutants."
Magneto really wanted to debate with Professor X, but unfortunately, they were in different places.
"Old friend, you're going to act according to your method, and I will continue my plan."
Magneto's method was to transform all normal people into Mutants.
The plan was good, but the machine still had significant problems.
Councilman Robert did indeed become a Mutant and gained abilities.
However, not long after, Robert turned into a puddle of Water and completely died, leaving not even ash behind.
Although Magneto's plan suffered a setback, he did not give up.
As long as the machine could be improved, it was still possible to continue the plan.
Magneto's immediate priority was to adjust the machine and continue his plan... Of course, there were also ordinary people and Mutants paying attention to this huge commotion sweeping the internet.
The exposure of the Mutant Prison made the Wardenfurious.
There were still Mutants stirring up trouble outside, and they even wanted to deal with him.
William Stryker had always planned to turn Mutants into weapons and eliminate all Mutants.
Professor X's speech this time, although it didn't expose his deeds, made William Stryker feel threatened.
"Mutants, all deserve to die!"
After many years of research, William Stryker's understanding of Mutants was definitely far ahead.
For this, William Stryker had prepared several plans.
William Stryker's plan was, of course, the Sentinelprogram.
Using Mystique Raven's genes to create Sentinel robots.
However, Mystique came and went without a trace, constantly changing, and he had no opportunity to obtain Mystique Raven's genes.
He was very confident that Mystique Raven would appear during this incident.
As long as he seized this opportunity, he could obtain Mystique Raven's genes and complete his plan.
Chapter 164 You Really Cause Trouble
The matter of the Mutants caused a huge stir online.
Everyone's attitude towards Mutants was quite different, leading to a frenzy of debate.
Su Yi, however, was just watching the show, with no intention of getting involved.
Initially, Su Yi thought the movie was a bit exaggerated; how could so many people harbor such great hostility towards Mutants?
Now, it seemed, Su Yi realized he had completely underestimated these people.
Looking at these outrageous remarks, Su Yi understood the differences between people.
In the eyes of many, Mutants were not considered human at all.
Some planned to march, demanding that the authorities arrest all Mutants.
Others were even more extreme, stating that if they encountered a Mutant, they would simply unleash a barrage of bullets.
After seeing all this, Su Yi didn't know what to say.
"Forget it, it's none of my business anyway. As long as these people don't provoke me, it's fine."
Su Yi stopped bothering with these matters; there were others to worry, and it wasn't his turn to be concerned.
Su Yi peacefully went about his business, continuing to move among his girlfriend confidantes.
Recently, Su Yi had been quite busy, because Jane Foster was returning.
Jane had been observing and researching outside for a long time and finally returned to the City of Freedom.
Because he had no fixed residence, Su Yi couldn't even teleport easily.
Now, Jane had returned and had notified Su Yi early on.
Su Yi greeted the two Jane Fosters.
Jane's attire was similar to before, looking travel-worn.
Upon seeing Su Yi, she immediately threw herself into his arms.
"Su, did you miss me?"
"Of course I missed you. This time, how long do you plan to stay?"
Jane ran her fingers through her hair, "I'm not sure, maybe a month, maybe a week or so."
Su Yi knew this was Jane's career, and also Jane's dream.
Of course, Su Yi couldn't persuade Jane to stay and be a canary in a gilded cage.
Moreover, if Jane stayed, there would be more people in his backyard, and more problems would arise.
Maintaining the current situation was quite good.
"Oh, what a pity. I wish you could stay longer."
The two were very intimate, and Daisy, who was beside them, couldn't stand it anymore.
"Hey, have you two hugged enough? Can't you consider my feelings?"
Su Yi said with a smile, "Daisy, do you want a hug too?"
Su Yi's bold move made Daisy a little flustered.
Su Yi naturally gave her a simple hug, without any excessive gestures.
"Don't be so petty. We have an idiom in the East that says 'tolerance is a virtue'. People like you should be open-minded."
Daisy and Jane both couldn't help but laugh at Su Yi's joke.
"Two beauties, it's time to go. I've booked a restaurant."
Su Yi was preparing a welcome dinner for the two beauties.
They arrived at a high-end restaurant, and both Jane and Daisy were full of admiration.
Especially Jane, who saw people coming and going, all dressed gorgeously, looking wealthy and distinguished.
Her and Daisy's attire, in comparison, looked a bit ordinary.
Jane had basically been living rough, and didn't have much spare money.
Neither of them had ever been to such a high-class restaurant.
Jane was still a bit uncomfortable, but Daisy was very happy.
"Jane, this place looks amazing! It's my first time in such a nice restaurant."
Jane echoed, "Me too."
Su Yi knew their concerns, "I rarely come here myself. I prefer to cook. But I heard from someone that the food here tastes good."
"Today is the day you two return, so of course, we have to make it special."
Jane also dispelled many of her doubts, and the three of them took their seats together.
The food here was indeed not bad, at least it suited Jane and Daisy's tastes well.
Perhaps Su Yi still preferred Chinese food, as these dishes, in his opinion, were just average.
Su Yi chatted with the two, discussing some light and pleasant topics.
Just as the atmosphere was getting good, Su Yi noticed his phone ringing.
"This call is really ill-timed."
Su Yi initially didn't want to answer, but the other party didn't give up.
Su Yi had no choice but to pick up the phone.
"Jane, Daisy, I have a call, I need to leave for a moment."
"No problem."
Su Yi left his seat and went aside to answer the phone.
"Hello, I'm Su Yi."
"Hey, Su, I hope I'm not disturbing you?"
Su Yi was too familiar with this voice; it was clearly the playboy Tony.
No, the current Tony Stark had already turned over a new leaf.
"Tony, you almost ruined my date. Tell me, what's so important?"
"Nothing important, just an old man who was frozen for nearly 70 years, asking me to join the Avengers to deal with potential crises."
Su Yi was a little surprised, "Are you talking about CaptainSteve?"
"Yes, that's him!"
The plot of The Avengers 1 hadn't even appeared yet, and the two major figures of the Avengers had already met.
Such a memorable scene, it was a pity he wasn't there.
"Is that all?"
Tony Stark's call was naturally about the Mutant topic that had been so popular these past two days.
S.H.I.E.L.D. and Steve's actions at this moment were to deal with the impending Mutant crisis.
Speaking of Mutants, Tony Stark had some understanding from Su Yi.
Especially, there was a Mutant named Magneto who could control metal.
The impending Mutant crisis was no small matter.
No matter how arrogant Tony Stark was, he knew that he couldn't deal with a large group of Mutants alone.
Moreover, time waits for no one, and the Mutant crisis could appear at any time.
Tony Stark had a suspicion that this matter might be related to Su Yi.
He made this call to confirm it.
"The Mutant situation, wouldn't it be related to you?"
Su Yi replied, "Sort of, I just gave them a few suggestions."
"..."
Tony didn't know what to say, because Su Yi's suggestions dramatically increased his tasks.
He was originally going to research nano-suits and deformable Iron Man vehicles (Autobots).
Now, a Mutant crisis suddenly appeared, making him extremely busy.
"Su, you really know how to cause trouble. You have no connection with Mutants, there's no need to interfere in their affairs."
"Who says there's no connection? There are quite a few beautiful girls among the Mutants, and some of them might become my girlfriend confidantes."
Tony Stark was completely speechless, "Su, you're still young, you need to take care of your body!"
Su Yi joked, "Oh, Tony, you wouldn't..."
When it came to a man's dignity, how could Tony not take it seriously?
He immediately bristled, "My body is very healthy, it's just you, given your situation, perhaps in another year or two, you'll be completely finished."
Su Yi looked indifferent, "Impossible. With my current physical fitness, 100 more wouldn't be a problem."
Tony realized that Su Yi's physical fitness couldn't be considered normal; perhaps his kidneys were also stronger than ordinary people's.
The important topic ended, and the two began to joke around.
"If there's nothing else, I'm going to hang up. I'm still on a date."
"One more thing, my research has made new progress. Come to my Villa tomorrow!"
"OK!"
Chapter 165: Excellence Series Armor
Su Yi was a bit speechless; he was on a date and Tonyinterrupted him.
Fortunately, it didn't take up too much time.
The matter Tony discussed with him over the phone should be about the Iron Chariot.
Su Yi hadn't expected Tony to be so quick; he had nearly completed the research in less than a month.
He would go check it out tomorrow.
That night, Su Yi naturally had a long talk with Jane and Daisy.
The next day, Su Yi made time to visit Tony's Villa in the evening.
With a new Mistress, the Villa looked a bit livelier.
"Tony, I'm here!"
Su Yi teleported into the workshop again, looking at the messy chaos and realizing a lot of effort went into building this thing.
Su Yi's gaze naturally fell on the central position, which was a car that didn't look quite normal.
To facilitate transformation, the vehicle certainly couldn't use large, solid pieces of steel but was assembled like armor.
Tony meticulously designed the transformable modules, which was no small amount of work.
After all, once a car transforms, it becomes a car robot.
Its huge size naturally increased the workload.
"Hey, Su, you're finally here."
Su Yi observed it for a while and came to a conclusion.
"Tony, you truly are the top genius in the World. This structural design is simply perfect."
Tony Stark was waiting for this moment to receive praise.
"However, it doesn't seem to be painted yet, so the final step hasn't been completed."
Tony said, "No, there's one last test. I need to test various data of the Iron Chariot Mark 2, and this task requires your help."
"You mean, you want me to try wearing this?"
Su Yi was quite interested; who wouldn't want to own a car robot?
However, before Su Yi could get in, Tony stopped him.
"No no no!"
"What I mean is, I'll use you to test the data. I think only you can withstand the true power of this armor."
"..."
Su Yi's interest instantly waned by half. He originally thought he would be wearing the armor, but it turned out he was just a punching bag.
Being a punching bag was fine. Considering he could get a free set of armor later, Su Yi put up with it.
"OK, but I need a custom-made set of armor!"
The Mark series created by Tony was already very expensive; just the cost price might be tens of millions.
This didn't include the Arc Reactor technology or Tony's labor costs.
Including these, it would definitely be an astronomical price.
And this Transcendence series armor used more materials and was more complex, so its value was naturally higher.
However, when Su Yi said he wanted a custom-made set of armor, Tony agreed without hesitation.
"No problem."
"By the way, what did you name this series of armor?"
Tony proudly introduced, "I named it the Excellence series."
"Well, stop talking and let's start the test."
Tony was waiting for this moment.
Su Yi was also looking forward to seeing the car transform.
"We can't do it here. Let's go outside for the test."
"No problem."
Tony drove out of the lab, and Su Yi followed the car, flying out slowly.
After leaving the Villa, they arrived outdoors.
Tony could no longer contain his excitement.
"Jarvis, activate the Excellence Armor!"
The first thing to change was naturally the seat.
The seat began to envelop Tony's body, becoming the inner layer of the armor.
This inner armor was more advanced than the Mark 5 portable armor, basically approaching the Mark 41 separable armor.
It was also due to plot changes that Tony didn't spend too much time building functional armor.
Moreover, early exposure to and research into Nanotechnology allowed Tony's armor to evolve much faster.
As the seat enveloped his entire body, becoming the inner armor, the car also began to transform, standing up directly to become a mechanical giant nearly 3 meters tall.
During this process, the subtle changes were astonishing.
It seemed simple, but in reality, ensuring the transformation process was accurate and flawless required an astonishing amount of work.
Only Tony, with Jarvis's cooperation, could complete it so quickly and so perfectly.
The transformation process was relatively long, taking nearly 1 minute.
However, once the transformation was complete, the effect was astonishing.
Su Yi looked at the Excellence Armor in front of him; it really resembled the Mark series, as if it had been scaled up proportionally and made slightly bulkier.
It looked full of power and technology.
Most importantly, there was no sense of disjointedness.
"Hahahaha, hoo!"
"Su, what do you think?"
Su Yi flew around the Excellence Armor, scrutinizing it up and down.
Indeed, there were still gaps. If Ant-Man were to encounter it, he might be able to show his skills.
Ignoring Ant-Man, this armor was already very perfect.
"Tony, can you see what's behind you now?"
Tony proudly replied, "Do you think I would be foolish enough to overlook the issue of vision?"
"Of course, I designed it to ensure I can observe everything in the vicinity."
"Then, do you have any means of attacking to the rear? It seems your arms can't reach behind you. Not only that, with such a huge body, movement will inevitably be a bit slow."
Tony knew this, so he was prepared.
Several openings suddenly appeared on the back of the armor.
These concealed offensive capabilities, which would certainly be very dangerous for an ordinary person caught off guard.
Su Yi was naturally no ordinary person and wasn't afraid at all.
Tony also didn't attack; he merely showcased his design.
Finally, Su Yi couldn't help but exclaim, "It looks really good!"
Tony was still a bit dissatisfied, "I spent a lot of time on the transformation aspect, and there are still many capabilities and functions yet to be added."
"Also, Nanotechnology. If this armor could be made with Nanotechnology, it would definitely be even more perfect than it is now."
Tony was still not very satisfied with the armor, but Su Yithought it was quite good.
Although it wasn't presented like in the movie, at least it looked very good and had that car robot vibe.
"Tony, don't waste any more time, let the test begin."
"OK!"
The two began the test, which was, of course, an earth-shattering battle.
Su Yi deployed an energy shield, while Tony consumed energy, swinging his fists and smashing them over.
The immense force impacted the energy shield, causing it to dent inward, but it couldn't completely destroy the energy shield.
"Increase energy output efficiency, raise it to 40%!"
"Increase it again!"
...Tony was very unwilling. He was already running in overload, yet he couldn't break the energy shield, let alone touch Su Yi.
One must know that in an overloaded state, the power of that punch was nearly a hundred tons.
Unfortunately, it was still not enough.
"Hey, Su, can you not use your superpowers? Try with the strength of your body."
Su Yi was also helpless. For the sake of his armor, he could only be a punching bag to the end.
"OK, let's start directly!"
"I'll start with 30% energy."
Su Yi was a bit impatient, "Let's start directly from 60%. Starting from 30% is too troublesome."
"Oh, that won't do. We need as much data as possible. Are you ready?"
Su Yi suddenly realized that Tony, that old fox, must have had an ulterior motive; he probably planned it all along, no wonder he called him specifically yesterday.
"Let's begin!"
Chapter 166 You Are a Monster
Tony had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Tony had been constantly simulating and calculating Su Yi's various data, but it was still not enough.
Today, taking advantage of this opportunity, he could properly collect data.
Looking at the collected data, Tony began to question his life.
Su Yi had blocked such a powerful force with just an energy shield.
Next, Su Yi was going to use his physical strength to contend with the Excellent Armor.
Tony, as per Su Yi's request, directly used 60% of the energy to deliver this punch.
This powerful force had astonishing destructive power, capable of easily demolishing homes and destroying cities.
However, Su Yi merely used his hands to catch the Excellent Armor's massive fist.
Fine cracks spread out from his feet, yet Su Yi remained completely still.
"This power isn't bad."
Tony had anticipated it, but he still couldn't help but want to utter some expletives.
"F...!"
"Su, again."
Su Yi also prepared to try, to see if he could withstand the force of this punch while in the air.
"OK, I'll try too, to see if I can catch this punch in the air."
Su Yi directly floated into the air, even managing to remain perfectly still while catching the punch.
If Su Yi wanted to, he could even push back with his own strength.
Tony looked at the Excellent Armor's output efficiency; Su Yi was actually able to increase his strength, pushing the thick mechanical arm back, and without even damaging the armor.
This kind of disparity could not be compensated for by a single suit of armor.
Su Yi's power made Tony feel a deep sense of despair.
Su Yi's physical qualities were incredibly powerful.
Super strength, speed, and defensive capabilities.
Such physical qualities were basically invincible.
Tony had considered that completely eliminating Su Yiwould be very difficult.
The first method, naturally, was to use an ultimate weapon without Su Yi's awareness.
The cost of this would be immensely heavy, and it might not even succeed.
Because Su Yi's flight speed was too fast, and he also had teleportation.
As long as Su Yi was given even a tiny bit of time to react, he could teleport away.
There was also another method, which was to become a despicable poisoner.
Su Yi's physical qualities were indeed superhuman, but he was still considered a biological entity.
As long as it was a biological entity, some toxins could have an effect, it was just a matter of the degree of effect.
Besides these, only extreme environments could be utilized.
For example, sending Su Yi to Space, freezing him with ultra-low temperatures, or projecting him into the Sun, and so on.
Similarly, there was also a very serious problem, which was Su Yi's teleportation ability.
As long as Su Yi was able to use his teleportation ability, he could not truly be killed.
Aside from these methods, Tony found it very difficult to think of a way to kill Su Yi... "Shall we continue?"
Tony looked at the data displayed by Jarvis, "A few more times."
After about ten attempts, the test finally ended.
The combat performance was still good, but due to its large size, it was slightly cumbersome.
Having completed the test, the Excellent Armor transformed again.
Relying on the device on its back, the entire armor lay down.
During this process, it quickly transformed.
Finally, it reverted to the appearance of a vehicle.
And Tony Stark also sat up from his lying position.
Subsequently, he got out of the vehicle.
"How was the test?"
"My armor definitely has no problems, it's just that the transformation process is a bit complex and needs optimization. If nanotechnology could achieve it, it would certainly be much easier."
Su Yi was quite satisfied with this Excellent Armor, at least in terms of appearance and capabilities, it met Su Yi's expectations.
"I think it's already pretty good as it is."
Tony was certainly not satisfied; this armor couldn't even test the limits of Su Yi's power.
"Su, tell me, how much power did you actually exert?"
Su Yi was too lazy to calculate, "Maybe one percent, maybe not even one percent."
Su Yi's strength was 100,000 tons, while the output of this Excellent Armor was only about a hundred tons.
Tony looked at Su Yi in disbelief; this Excellent Armor was already so strong, yet its power was less than one percent of Su Yi's.
If this was truly the case, Tony felt that relying solely on armor might genuinely be unable to rival Su Yi.
"You truly are a monster!"
Su Yi was very calm; this was a monster?
His level was stuck at Lv7; if he advanced to a higher level, what would he be called then?
A God?
Su Yi had no interest in being a "God."
After their test ended, they naturally had to go back.
However, the cracks on the ground made it impossible for them to ignore.
"Tony, I think you should find an opportunity to repair this place."
Tony, however, didn't care at all; for such a minor matter, he would just find someone to do it later.
The two returned to the Villa, where Maya was waiting for them.
"Hi, Maya, you're getting more and more beautiful."
After Su Yi greeted Maya, the two continued to chat.
About Mutants, about the Avengers.
After Su Yi left, Tony returned to his workshop to continue his research.
"Jarvis, continue to refine Su Yi's model!"
Jarvis projected a virtual screen, displaying Su Yi's appearance, followed by various data.
All of this was data Tony had secretly investigated and collected.
It was just that it wasn't very precise in all aspects.
"Jarvis, increase the strength attribute by 100 times!"
Looking at Su Yi's strength attribute, it reached a terrifying 100,000 tons.
"Super strong physical qualities, 100,000 tons of strength, speed exceeding 10 times the speed of sound!"
"As well as abilities like teleportation, flight, energy shields, and perhaps other abilities."
Looking at the data model in front of him, Tony felt a headache.
Solving Su Yi was much more troublesome than creating an Excellent Armor.
First, Su Yi's teleportation superpower had to be restricted.
Then, there had to be a means to kill Su Yi.
Tony immediately began to think, and he did have a few feasible ideas.
However, they were only theoretically feasible; in practice, they would probably all fail.
After much thought, Tony came up with a method: clone a Su Yi.
As the saying goes, you have to fight magic with magic.
To defeat Su Yi, the best method would certainly be to use Su Yi to defeat Su Yi.
Tony hesitated for a moment regarding this method, but ultimately chose to abandon it.
Tony suddenly recalled the story of the "Avengers Civil War" that Su Yi had told him when he went to resolve the Red Room incident.
In that story, Tony had used Thunder God Thor's hair to clone a robot Thor.
The outcome of the Civil War was naturally not very pleasant.
If he did that, Tony knew that he would definitely lose Su Yi as a friend and end up with everyone turning against him.
After much deliberation, Tony still made his final decision.
"Jarvis, destroy the data model. There's no point in studying this monster!"
"He has a lover, he has a family."
"If he wanted to destroy the World, I wouldn't need to act; his lover would definitely stop him."
Soon, Jarvis's voice came, "Sir, the data model has been destroyed, all data has been cleared."
"It's time to spend some time with Maya!"
Tony turned and left the workshop; the busy period was over, and it was time to rest.
Chapter 167: New Avengers Members
Su Yi returned from Tony's place and stopped by to see Pepper.
After Stark Industries got back on track, Pepper also found an assistant.
Although it was much easier, she was still the president of a large company, so there was still a lot to do… Su Yireturned to his normal life until he received a message from Natasha.
Su Yi was a bit surprised; Natasha was the quietest and had never contacted him proactively.
The others would more or less proactively contact Su Yi to chat about their feelings.
But Natasha had never done so.
As soon as he had free time, Su Yi immediately teleported to the Helicarrier.
Su Yi appeared in Natasha's room via teleportation, but Natasha wasn't there.
Su Yi used the Helicarrier's internal communication system and quickly found Natasha's location.
"Natasha, did you call me for something?"
Natasha walked closer to Su Yi, "I missed you."
Natasha's slightly teasing tone and alluring expression.
Using this to test an old cadre, he definitely couldn't resist.
"I missed you too."
Training room?
The location was also quite good, perfect for special training!
After the special training, Natasha finally explained why she had called Su Yi.
"Su, I called you here for another purpose."
"What purpose?"
"You need to take Yelena and Antonia back."
"???"
Su Yi was a bit confused; what did this have to do with those two? Could it be that they were going on a mission?
Natasha slowly explained the whole story, "Because of the Mutant situation, Director Nick felt pressure, so he is recruiting Avengers members. And they will become Avengers."
Su Yi wasn't just a little surprised; he was extremely surprised.
"What, they're joining the Avengers?"
Su Yi quickly calmed down, because all of this was related to him.
Due to his spoilers, interceptions, and other actions, the plot was already completely out of whack.
The first generation Avengers had already changed drastically.
Aside from Captain Steve and Iron Man Tony Stark, the other members were definitely replaced by a large number of people.
Su Yi thought for a moment; Natasha should not be able to join the Avengers.
Because of the explosion plan, Natasha was officially a dead person on the surface.
At least, before HYDRA was eliminated, she couldn't operate normally.
Otherwise, she would definitely be noticed by Alexander.
Bruce Banner also couldn't transform into Hulk anymore, so he probably wouldn't become an Avenger member either.
Thunder God Thor, Su Yi was also unsure.
After all, Loki had been captured. If it weren't for Loki, Thorprobably wouldn't have a reason to come here again.
All things considered, half of the Avengers' original F6 had been changed by Su Yi.
Without these three, the Spider Trio of Su Yi, Gwen, and Peter would not overtly join the Avengers.
Captain Marvel was still in Space, which was like distant water that couldn't quench a nearby thirst.
Most of the time, she might not be able to rush back in time.
So, Nick Fury could only choose others to join the Avengers Initiative.
From Natasha, Su Yi also learned about Nick Fury's other choices.
Agent Sharon Carter, the second generation Widow Yelena, Taskmaster Antonia, Dr. Pym the Ant-Man, or Hope the second generation Wasp.
This lineup looked decent, but it felt like it was still lacking some strong output.
Sharon and Antonia were still in the range of agents; their abilities were still a bit lacking.
Ant-Man or Wasp's direct combat power wasn't actually very strong either.
Only Yelena had received the fire spirit orb from Su Yi.
She possessed energy attack methods and some special abilities, so her combat power was not bad.
"Is this Nick Fury's idea?"
Natasha explained, "I suggested to Nick that Yelena and Antonia join the Avengers."
"I plan to have them establish a base in the City of Freedom as a foothold for Agents."
Su Yi didn't press further, "OK, I'll take them over."
Natasha said, "Then you have to take good care of them?"
Su Yi looked at Natasha's expression; why did it feel a bit strange, as if she was doing it on purpose.
It was as if she was encouraging Su Yi to find a way to win them over.
"How do you want me to take care of them?"
Natasha hooked her arms around Su Yi's neck, looking at him with a playful expression, "What do you think?"
Su Yi felt like he was already too busy.
As for Yelena and Antonia, they were indeed quite beautiful.
At least, much prettier than what was shown in the movies.
Yelena, while not delicate and soft, wasn't overly muscular either.
Antonia, a warrior from a fighting nation not yet 20, also underwent the baptism of the Water of Life, and possessed top-tier looks.
"I will take good care of them."
"They should be ready; we should leave the training room."
Su Yi, however, didn't care, "Let them wait a bit longer; I still have something to discuss with you."
"What is it?"
"What should we name our child?"
...While the two were discussing important future matters, Yelena suddenly appeared in the training room.
Yelena's appearance interrupted their discussion.
Seeing them discussing their future child, Yelena knew she was a bit superfluous.
"I'm sorry, I came at the wrong time."
With that, Yelena was about to leave the training room.
After all, this matter had nothing to do with her; it was fine to let Su Yi and Natasha discuss it properly.
And in Su Yi's mind, a classic scene from a certain show suddenly flashed through.
On a whim, he blurted out the line, in English no less.
"No, you came at just the right time."
Yelena was a bit confused, frozen in place. What did this have to do with her?
Natasha also felt that Yelena could offer some suggestions on this matter.
So, Natasha personally stepped forward and persuaded her with a few words.
With Natasha's intervention, it was, of course, a success.
Thus, Yelena also joined the discussion.
They discussed for a long time but didn't come up with a conclusion.
Indeed, naming a child is a time-consuming and laborious task.
It was also good that Antonia was more patient.
If Antonia had also come to rush them, and four people discussed it together, they would probably have argued for most of the day.
It was getting late, so Su Yi teleported back to the City of Freedom with Yelena and Antonia.
His own Villa could still accommodate them, but it was clearly not very suitable for them.
After some consideration, he arranged for them to stay at the old Villa.
This old Villa had previously housed Qi Lin, then Pietro and Wanda, and now, Yelena and Antonia would temporarily stay there.
If they could find a better place to live, it wouldn't be too late to vacate it.
"These two rooms have been lived in. This one is Pietro's, and this one is Wanda's. They should still be coming back to stay, so you can only choose other empty rooms."
"There are also some daily necessities that you might need to buy yourselves."
"There's also a car in the garage, the keys are here. You can drive it whenever you need to."
Su Yi gave some instructions, settled the two of them, and then chose to return.
Chapter 168 Betty Moves
After Su Yi settled the two of them, he returned home.
Gwen, Liz, and Hanna were watching a show together, getting along very well.
This kind of life was naturally what Su Yi wanted to see.
Su Yi naturally sat in the middle and watched the show with the three of them.
Just then, Qi Lin returned alone.
"Qi Lin, you're back. Come watch the show with us?"
"I need to wash up first, I'll be back later."
About half an hour later, Qi Lin, having changed into home clothes, came to the living room.
Recently, Qi Lin and Betty had been busy investigating a shady dealership selling used cars.
This shady dealership usually conducted business normally.
But if it encountered people who didn't know much about cars, it would sweet-talk them, pass off inferior goods as quality, and sell them junk cars.
Betty and Qi Lin had almost finished their investigation recently, and would soon get the evidence, after which they would directly flatten the shady dealership.
"Qi Lin, how is your and Betty's investigation coming along?"
"It's almost complete. In two days at most, we'll have the evidence."
Su Yi reminded her, "You two better be careful. Running a shady business and swindling people, they might do even more outrageous things."
Qi Lin herself was a Divine Body, so there wasn't much to worry about.
However, Betty was just an ordinary person and could still be harmed by weapons.
Su Yi had also considered transforming all of his girlfriendinto Divine Bodies, but Divine Body technology was still somewhat complex.
This technology was very powerful, and Su Yi didn't have many people he could trust.
Besides that, he naturally needed capability.
It was simply too difficult for Su Yi to find someone he could both trust and who was capable.
Tony Stark was half of that; Su Yi couldn't fully trust him, and besides, he had his own things to be busy with.
Su Yi could only start researching and manufacturing equipment himself.
Although it was a bit slow, it would still be possible to produce the relevant equipment in a few months.
By then, he would strengthen all the girlfriend around him into First Generation Divine Bodies.
Qi Lin readily agreed, "I will protect Betty."
"And yourself too."
Qi Lin's cheeks flushed slightly, looking a bit shy.
"I know."
"Oh, Betty and Bella have already settled into their new home and invite you all to be their guests the day after tomorrow."
Su Yi naturally agreed readily, "No problem."
The group chatted on the sofa for a while longer, and as it was getting late, they all dispersed.
On the way back to their rooms, Gwen quietly pulled Su Yiaside.
"Su, when are you and Qi Lin…?"
Although Su Yi was a scoundrel, thoughts were thoughts, but he absolutely could not admit to something he hadn't done.
"Gwen, don't talk nonsense. There's nothing going on between Qi Lin and me."
Gwen naturally knew this, "It's precisely because there isn't, that she feels awkward seeing us so intimate."
Su Yi instantly understood Gwen's meaning; it seemed to make a little sense.
Su Yi considered it for a moment, thinking it was time to pluck the grass by his own nest first.
"I know what to do."
Since Gwen had reminded him, Su Yi naturally had to repay Gwen well.
As for Qi Lin's matter, it could wait a bit.
After all, Qi Lin wasn't as proactive as Liz and Hanna. Even if the dating process could be slightly expedited, the classic three steps—dinner, a movie, and then getting down to business—still applied.
Su Yi felt that there should at least be some dating process to make it easier for Qi Lin to accept… Two days passed in a flash.
Besides his regular classes, Su Yi also ran around to several places, trying to take care of everyone around him.
In the evening, it was a small gathering for Betty and Bella's move to their new home.
Bella didn't have many acquaintances, so she didn't invite many people.
Betty, on the other hand, simply invited Su Yi and the others.
Coincidentally, Betty and Qi Lin's mission was also complete.
After gathering all the evidence, the two decisively reported them, taking down the shady dealership in one swoop.
Afterward, Betty also wrote an article, which passed Bella's review and was published.
As a reporter, Betty had taken a crucial step.
Both Betty and Qi Lin were very happy, as this was also their achievement.
With two events coinciding, it was a double blessing.
At least, for Betty, it was.
After moving here, she was much closer to Su Yi's Villa.
By then, she could completely come over to visit often.
Bella also prepared a very sumptuous dinner, and everyone enjoyed a lively meal together.
The dinner was a pleasant occasion for both hosts and guests.
Tonight's time definitely belonged to Betty, so Su Yinaturally had to stay.
Gwen and the others were all implicitly aware, and after dinner, they rested for a while and then went home together.
Su Yi stayed behind to help tidy up.
Once everything was settled, Su Yi planned to return to the room with Betty to spend their intimate time together.
The two walked hand in hand back to the room.
With a thud, the door closed.
This door isolated the outside World; inside was naturally Su Yi and Gwen's two-person World.
The atmosphere gradually warmed, but then there was a knock on the door.
"Su, I need your help!"
To be interrupted at such a crucial moment, he felt an indescribable discomfort.
But fortunately, it hadn't started yet.
Good things never fear being late; it was just a short while.
Bella already knew about their relationship and wouldn't stop them, so Su Yi didn't need to worry about anything.
Su Yi tidied himself slightly, suppressed the rising Fire in his heart, and opened the door.
As soon as he opened the door, Su Yi saw Bella standing at the doorway, wearing pajamas.
"Bella, is there anything I can help you with?"
Bella immediately said, "My computer seems to have a problem. I'm writing an article, and this article is very important. I need to use it tomorrow."
"I hope I'm not disturbing you two."
Fixing a computer wasn't a difficult task.
His abilities should be able to solve this problem.
"Of course not, I'll go help you fix the computer right now."
Su Yi didn't need to explain to Betty; Betty was right there and heard everything.
Betty also smiled at Su Yi, "Su, you go help fix the computer first, I'll go wash up."
Su Yi looked at Betty deliberately seducing him, and the Fire he had just suppressed reignited.
"Go get all nice and clean, I'll make you look good later."
Su Yi followed Bella to her room to help fix the computer.
At this moment, Su Yi had only one thought: quickly fix this broken computer.
If things went smoothly, he could also wash up first.
"It's the computer on the desk, right?"
"Yes."
Su Yi decisively sat down, ready to check the computer's problem.
With just one glance, Su Yi found that there didn't seem to be anything wrong with the computer.
"Bella, it doesn't seem to have any problems. It's fully operational."
Bella leaned in closer, took the mouse, and tried it.
"Just now, the computer suddenly turned into a blue screen."
"My documents seem to have disappeared."
Su Yi looked at Bella, who was so close, and couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "You really don't treat me as an outsider, do you?"
If this continued, something big might happen.
So, Su Yi quickly interrupted, "It's okay, I'll help you look for them."
Chapter 169 Dating Qilin
Su Yi hadn't expected that fixing a computer would lead to such an incident, wasting so much of his time.
Although it was a bit improper, for Su Yi, being able to enjoy such a performance wasn't a bad thing.
Betty's moving was settled, and Su Yi also determined what he would do next.
The grass near the nest, Qi Lin.
Gwen keenly noticed Qi Lin's awkward situation.
There was nothing she could do; the house was full of beautiful women, all of whom were Su Yi's girlfriend.
Qi Lin was summoned by Su Yi and was considered his friend, not yet a girlfriend.
With a different status, seeing Su Yi intimate with other beautiful women naturally made her feel a bit awkward.
Having such a stunning Eastern beauty by his side, merely feasting his eyes wasn't enough.
Su Yi decided to go on a date with Qi Lin.
Since the previous shady business had ended and there were no major events recently, he could naturally leave work a bit earlier.
Qi Lin sat in the passenger seat, "Where are you taking me today?"
"Of course, I'm taking you on a date."
Qi Lin had never been in love before, and hearing Su Yi's bold and direct words immediately brought a blush to her face.
"A date?"
"Yes, if we don't date and fall in love, how can we deepen our feelings?"
Qi Lin knew Su Yi's intentions and already had a natural fondness for him.
During this time, having spent so long with Su Yi, she had also come to understand him quite well.
However, neither of them had pursued that aspect, so they hadn't taken that step.
Today, with Su Yi taking the initiative, Qi Lin wouldn't refuse.
Everything was so natural, like Water flowing into a channel.
"Alright then, where are we going?"
"To Chinatown, where the Eastern culture is richer."
Qi Lin was also full of anticipation.
Having been in this World for so long, Qi Lin had gradually adapted to life here.
However, being an Easterner, besides Su Yi, she rarely saw Eastern faces.
Going to Chinatown would indeed feel very familiar.
The two drove to Chinatown, and a lively atmosphere immediately emerged.
Here, one could see many Eastern elements.
There were also many familiar Eastern faces among the people walking on the streets, and familiar languages could be heard.
Su Yi also felt a bit emotional.
He had been in this World for a long time, but he had never been to the East.
Thinking of this, Su Yi was quite interested in the ancient Eastern country of this World.
In the comics, the East also had many Superheroes and a S.P.E.A.R. organization.
In the Movie Universe, only one Shang-Chi movie was made, and it turned out to be a 'disappointment,' which was truly irritating.
Su Yi also had no way to connect with S.P.E.A.R.
If possible, they could cooperate.
Su Yi quickly shook off these thoughts; the focus now was his date with Qi Lin.
Su Yi and Qi Lin got out of the car, and Su Yi actively took Qi Lin's hand.
Qi Lin's subconscious reaction was to attempt a grappling and over-the-shoulder throw combo.
But she still controlled herself.
Su Yi felt Qi Lin's small hand, soft and slender, which felt very nice.
"You don't mind me holding your hand, do you?"
Qi Lin had long experienced Su Yi's shameless behavior.
She replied helplessly, "You've already done it before asking; isn't it too late?"
Su Yi naturally displayed his shamelessness to the extreme, "It's just a symbolic question; whether you agree or not, it's useless."
"..."
Qi Lin also tacitly accepted Su Yi's action, even actively interlocking her fingers with his.
The two walked hand in hand down the street.
"Where are we going?"
"A hotpot restaurant not far ahead. You know, Gwen and the others can't handle spicy food."
Qi Lin asked curiously, "But couldn't we have hotpot with a clear broth base?"
"We have to let them gradually accept Eastern cuisine."
Su Yi took Qi Lin to eat hotpot.
If it were in his original World, taking a girl to eat hotpot on a first date would probably lead to a breakup.
But this was the Marvel Universe, and the date was with Qi Lin.
Qi Lin didn't mind; on the contrary, she was very much looking forward to it.
As soon as the two entered the hotpot restaurant, they smelled a familiar aroma.
Hotpot, it was still the familiar taste, still the familiar feeling.
Most of the people eating hotpot in the restaurant were Easterners, with only a few Westerners, as not everyone could accept hotpot.
Su Yi and Qi Lin were quite satisfied with the meal; both the food and the atmosphere were excellent.
The two walked out of the hotpot restaurant contentedly, "How was it?"
"Not bad. When we buy the ingredients in the future, we can also eat hotpot at home."
"Good plan."
Qi Lin looked at Su Yi, "Next, is it time for a movie?"
"According to the procedure, it should be. If you don't want to, we can skip this part."
Qi Lin knew Su Yi was deliberately teasing her, but she couldn't help but feel a little shy.
"Who said we're skipping it?"
"Then let's go. I wonder if there are any good movies."
The two chose a nearby cinema.
This cinema in Chinatown not only showed big-budget commercial films but also imported some films from the ancient Eastern country.
After all, it was Chinatown, and the cinema had to adapt to the surrounding environment and choose suitable films.
Especially during Chinese New Year, some animated films imported from the ancient Eastern country had quite good box office numbers.
Su Yi and Qi Lin entered the cinema, looking at the movies currently showing, unsure which one to choose.
They hardly recognized any of the stars, and Qi Lin's situation was even worse.
"Which movie do you want to see?"
Qi Lin looked around, also unsure what would be good.
"Then let's watch 'The Great Gold Robbery.' It looks like an action, suspenseful commercial film, and the scenes look pretty good."
"Not a romance movie?"
Qi Lin tilted her head, looking at Su Yi, "If you think the atmosphere for a romance movie would be better, I can accept that too."
Su Yi was indifferent; usually, the routine was a romance movie or a horror film.
"I don't care about these things. Then let's watch this movie."
In the cinema, Su Yi watched the movie intently.
He could only say that the plot was truly mediocre, full of loopholes.
It was a bad movie, with only a few scenes worth watching.
If he weren't with Qi Lin, Su Yi probably would have left halfway through.
Qi Lin, however, watched with great interest, seemingly enjoying it very much.
With nothing else to do, Su Yi began to study Qi Lin's small hand.
Her love line, career line, and fate line all seemed pretty good.
Qi Lin must have noticed, but she didn't pull her hand away or interrupt Su Yi.
She just continued watching the movie, enduring Su Yi's wandering hand.
The movie finally ended, and Qi Lin couldn't help but ask, "Is that enough?"
"Not enough. I feel like I could appreciate it for a lifetime."
Qi Lin blushed, but she didn't pull her hand away.
"The movie is over; it's time to go back."
Su Yi led Qi Lin back to the car, "Next is the final step. Qi Lin, are you ready?"
Qi Lin also knew what Su Yi meant.
Facing such a direct question, Qi Lin didn't act coy.
Qi Lin was slightly shy, and her voice became much softer, "Let's go home."
Seeing Qi Lin in this state, Su Yi could no longer hold back and leaned in for a kiss.
Chapter 170: A Deal
Su Yi experienced another kind of beauty from Qi Lin, one of gentle Water.
This feeling almost made Su Yi drown in the tender embrace.
"From now on, the king will not attend morning court!"
Su Yi truly wanted to stay in the tender embrace and not leave.
But in the end, Gwen interrupted him.
Su Yi was extremely reluctant, but he still struggled to get up and wash.
There would be plenty of time in the future, and he didn't need to rush.
At school, Su Yi also took stock.
Among his girlfriend confidantes, only a few had yet to be 'intercepted'.
First was Christine. Su Yi and Christine had already been on several simple dates.
The current situation was that Su Yi could complete the final 'interception' at any time.
Next in line were Felicia and Antonia.
The difference was that Felicia was the initiative one, constantly teasing Su Yi.
Antonia, on the other hand, had limited contact with Su Yiand required more process.
After school, Su Yi and Gwen were about to leave when they encountered Felicia.
More precisely, Felicia was waiting for Su Yi.
"Hi, Su."
"Felicia."
Felicia seemed a bit displeased with Su Yi's reaction. "Oh, Su, your attitude is so cold, it's really disheartening."
"Sorry, how can I make it up to you?"
"Shall we have coffee together?"
Felicia invited Su Yi and Gwen to have coffee together, and Gwen was already used to it.
She knew Su Yi's charm.
Felicia's change was well within expectations.
The three of them walked through the campus, preparing to leave.
Su Yi suddenly froze because he saw a Shadow that shouldn't have been there on campus.
A young gentleman, dressed in a fitted black suit, holding a cane, looked extremely noble.
The gentleman had a smile on his face, but it seemed to carry a hint of evil charm.
He was handsome and charismatic, but Su Yi didn't particularly like him.
"Hi, old friend, you don't seem very happy to see me."
Su Yi remained unperturbed, "Loki, you always find a way to sneak out!"
The person in front of him was none other than Loki, who should have been imprisoned in Asgard's prison.
His appearance here certainly wasn't because he was released, but because he used some method to sneak out.
Such an operation was not difficult for Loki.
Hearing Su Yi's words, Loki smiled even more brightly.
"You're right, I snuck out."
Su Yi didn't say anything, "If you're here for sightseeing, suit yourself. But if you intend to do anything, I think I've already warned you."
"As a smart person, you should know the consequences of doing so."
Loki, of course, knew Su Yi's strength; pinning him to the ground and rubbing him was no problem at all.
"No, no, no, I'm not here to cause any trouble. I'm just here to make a deal with you!"
Su Yi wasn't really interested in Loki's affairs; if he ran out, he ran out. Su Yi had no intention of bringing him back.
However, Loki's mention of a deal piqued Su Yi's interest.
There wasn't much in Asgard that interested Su Yi.
Although there were many Uru alloys and more advanced technology than on Earth, these weren't what Su Yidesired most.
To be precise, the things Su Yi was most interested in were the Infinity Stones.
Currently, there were no Infinity Stones in Asgard.
However, Loki could go to Thanos and retrieve the Mind Stone.
Su Yi didn't know what Loki wanted from him, but with his own strength, he wasn't afraid of Loki's tricks.
"A deal? I do have a treasure that interests me, and only you can get it for me. I think we can have a good chat."
"That's wonderful. I think we will cooperate happily."
"Then let's go together. We can talk over coffee."
The original coffee-drinking group expanded again.
Only this time, it became four people.
Loki also took the initiative to introduce himself to Feliciaand Gwen, "Two beautiful ladies, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"I am Loki, son of Odin, God of Mischief, from the divine realm of Asgard."
Loki introduced himself politely; Felicia had no idea who he was.
Gwen, however, had heard about Loki from Su Yi and was somewhat familiar with him.
As the God of Mischief, Gwen naturally had to be wary, concerned about any conspiracies in Loki's so-called deal.
"Hello."
...Loki's social skills were truly not weak.
If it were ordinary people, he would surely have blended in with just a few words.
Unfortunately, Felicia was very angry now, angry that Loki's sudden appearance had ruined her opportunity.
Gwen knew Loki's identity and remained vigilant at all times.
Upon arriving at the coffee shop, the group ordered coffee and began to chat.
"Loki, tell me, why have you come to see me?"
Loki directly stated his purpose, "The Dark Elves are about to attack. I want you to help ensure the safety of my mother and save Asgard."
"If you can do that, you will gain the friendship of Asgard, receive Odin's blessing, and also the conditions I promised you."
Ever since Su Yi's spoilers, Loki hadn't been idle in prison, reading many books and learning many things.
The power of the Dark Elves made Loki extremely worried.
Queen Frigga and Asgard were all parts of him that he couldn't abandon.
Therefore, after learning about future events through Su Yi's spoilers, Loki resolved to change destiny.
Even if he didn't guide the Dark Elves, their strength could still cause heavy losses to Asgard.
In such a situation, Queen Frigga could still be in danger.
If it were before, Loki would certainly choose to protect Frigga himself.
But now, Loki had some doubts about his own combat power.
What if he also couldn't protect Frigga?
After having this thought, Loki decided to find a powerful ally to cooperate with.
"What do you think?"
"The rewards sound generous, but my help comes at a high price."
Loki wasn't worried at all, "What do you need?"
Su Yi said with a smile, "I need an Infinity Stone, but Asgard doesn't have one right now."
"If you can get the Mind Stone from Thanos and give the Mind Stone to me, I can agree to your request."
Loki's smile froze. Thanos, the mad Titan.
He wantonly slaughtered across the Universe, his reputation notorious.
Because of Odin's existence, Thanos dared not invade the Nine Realms.
But now, Odin was old and frail, and he and the Nine Realms were about to lose their greatest protector.
If he offended Thanos, his fate would not be good.
As the God of Mischief, Loki naturally saw this point.
"You want me to offend Thanos? That's not a good idea."
"If he invades the Nine Realms, aren't you worried he'll bring disaster to this Planet? I remember you care a lot about this Planet, about them."
Su Yi said with a smile, "Of course I care about this Planet, just as you want to protect Asgard."
Loki fell into thought, "If you can stop Thanos, I can give it a try."
Su Yi knew that with Loki's involvement, the Mind Stonewas sure to be acquired.
"I will stop Thanos!"
Loki also readily agreed, "Deal!"
