Wanjie Hotel: Iron Man is not allowed to charge

Chapter 148 Divine Dragon, Please Revive My Third Uncle (7K views, please vote)
"Is there anything I can help with in the research on the Extremis virus?"

Wen Ming handed Maya a cup of coffee, which Maya happily accepted: "There are no problems at all. The progress is smoother than I imagined. I have never been so confident."

Moreover, you gave me so many materials that I haven't even figured out the herbs yet, and you've shown me the powerful treatment principles of the medical pod.

Now that I have obtained a sample of this undead monster's tissue, I even feel that I already have a research direction for the next three generations of my Extremis Virus.

I also heard from Little Wukong that Qinghou and Malena have already gone to work on the Super Soldier Perfect Serum, which is the foundation of my Extremis Virus. If I can get a sample of the Perfect Serum, my Extremis Virus can definitely complete its first version in the shortest amount of time.

I even feel like my knowledge is somewhat inadequate now, and I'm considering going to study under a top biologist with Bulma.

Maya couldn't stop talking excitedly about her extremist virus.

Wen Ming listened quietly until the other person finished introducing their progress and future plans. Then Wen Ming smiled and said, "When we first met, I said that I could offer you some help."

"Now it seems that the help you provided was even greater than I had imagined."

Maya smiled knowingly as she recalled their first meeting, then she thought of that tragic scene.

"What I want to talk to you about today is that it's now confirmed that if you're a time traveler who comes to the hotel like this, you'll have to make a choice between two options after your storyline ends."

Wen Ming also thought of that holy light, so he quickly steered the conversation to what he wanted to discuss that evening: "In other words, more than ten years later, you were originally going to die at the hands of Killian."

Your future is now very likely to be one of certain death but not quite. You will then have to choose between two options: either stay in my hotel permanently, or face an unknown future.

This unknown future is likely to be dangerous, because the experiences of Max and Marcus have shown us that surviving a seemingly certain death will inevitably trigger a second round of pursuit by the will of the universe.

Wen Ming's words gradually calmed Maya's excitement, and she smiled sweetly: "At that time, I will definitely have fulfilled my lifelong dream."

So what if I die?

Wen Ming said softly, "I certainly don't want you to die so young, and Tony certainly doesn't either."

"Is it?"

A flicker of emotion crossed Maya's eyes, but she quickly added with a snort, "Tony and I broke up, and he's got a new cover girl."

"That's terrible."

Without saying a word, Wen Ming severely reprimanded Tony.

Such scumbag behavior will seriously affect the work performance of my employees.

Wenming completely forgot that he had once acted as a go-between to introduce the Heaton sisters to Tony.

That was done by Xiaoming; it has absolutely nothing to do with me, Boss Wen.

"He's nowhere near as good as you."

Maya stared at Wen Ming, a glint in her eyes: "So, in 12 years, I'm destined to become yours, right?"

"They are my employees."

Wen Ming promptly corrected the other person's statement, but Maya chuckled and walked up to Wen Ming: "What's the difference? Aren't they all your people?"

Wen Ming looked down at the other person and said seriously, "There's a big difference. Not only will you get a salary here, but you can also travel to other universes."

"It seems that my life will actually get better after I become yours?"

Maya looked up at Wen Ming, increasingly tempted: "You came to talk to me, is it because you want me to become your person ahead of time?"

"That's right, I don't want to wait 12 years."

They were all adults, and Wen Ming didn't like to beat around the bush when he spoke.

The Maya are now considered outsiders; they are too inconvenient to use.

Maya chuckled upon hearing this: "So, you admit you can't wait for me?"

"good."

Wen Ming nodded, confirming again.

Maya suddenly took a step forward: "Then you have to show me the sincerity that would make me willingly become your person 12 years ahead of schedule."

Wen Ming shook his head and said, "I have given you everything I can, without holding anything back."

This is the greatest sincerity I can offer.

If you don't agree, I'll have Tony help me win over Dr. Zhao Hailun as soon as possible.

Although Wen Ming already has a medical pod, he definitely wants to get his hands on Zhao Hailun's regenerative cradle technology as well.

After all, Zhao Hailun's regeneration cradle is more advanced than the medical pod.

So Wen Ming has already arranged for Tony to help him invite this beautiful female PhD.

What is currently uncertain is whether Zhao Hailun has completed her doctoral studies.

"You're such a clueless straight man, can't you even comfort me?"

Maya scoffed, "You have to give me something."

"what would you like?"

Wen Ming looked at Maya intently, but Dr. Maya suddenly turned her head, took off her white lab coat, and said, "I want to have some midnight snacks."

"Sure, I'll make it for you now. Bulma also needs a midnight snack."

Wen Ming breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the other party only wanted to have a late-night snack.

I've got that biology PhD in my hands.

Once Zhao Hailun arrives, together with Rebecca, they will definitely be able to elevate the hotel's biological standards to an unimaginable level.

Hmm, there's one more person we need to win over.

Su Rui.

Female black panther.

A genius girl who recreates heart-shaped herbs using 3D printing.

With her around, she'll surely be able to figure out her genetic issues.

The thought flashed through Wen Ming's mind.

Indeed, Wen Ming wants to assemble the strongest team of biology PhDs in order to figure out whether he has the so-called perfect genes.

Unfortunately, Princess Shuri is destined to become the Black Panther, and given her importance to Wakanda, it will be very difficult to win her over.

Let's get Zhao Hailun here first.

By the way, if we can save Dr. Erkins from Hydra's assassination attempt, then this biological expert will also be one of our own.

It seems the future employees of the Iron Hotel's research department's biological laboratory will be incredibly talented.

As Wen Ming was pondering this, Maya laughed and said, "This midnight snack will just be for the two of us."

Wen Mingyang raised an eyebrow: "Okay, I'll go tell Bulma first."

"Go quickly, I'll be waiting for you."

Maya packed her things and left the laboratory.

"Strawberry, seal off the lab."

"Received, dear Wenming."

Wen Ming shut down the lab, activated the alarm, and then took the elevator to Bulma's room on the second floor. The Dragon Ball girl was already waiting impatiently: "She's Tony's girlfriend, why are you two chatting for so long?"

“I want to keep her at the hotel as a permanent employee.”

Wen Ming briefly explained Maya's future fate, then said, "I still need to negotiate with her later, so I'd like to talk to you about this wish."

Hearing that Wen Ming was going to discuss serious matters, Bulma stopped making a fuss. After enjoying a few bites of her late-night snack, she said, "Neither Goku nor I have any wishes. What do you want?"

"I want too much."

Wen Ming sighed softly. Sometimes, having too many desires can be a troublesome thing.

Bulma stared wide-eyed at Wen Ming: "Then follow your heart and find the wish you desire most."

Wen Ming was silent for a few minutes, then took out the seven Dragon Balls: "Let's make a wish now."

"Now? Here? Not in the open area on the roof?"

Bulma was somewhat surprised, but Wenming laughed and said, "It's raining heavily outside, we can't let the dragon get wet, can we?"

“But this place is so small, and the dragon is so big, how can it fit?” Bulma asked hesitantly.

How will you know if you don't try?
However, your room is indeed small; let's go to a larger room.

Looking at the seven glowing beads, Wen Ming suddenly remembered something and said into his phone, "Sea Queen, call Little Wukong over."

Soon, Little Wukong rushed in excitedly: "Wen Ming, are you going to make a wish?"

"Yes, haven't you always wanted to see what the dragon looks like? Let's summon the dragon together."

Wen Ming rubbed his crab-like head, and Little Wukong nodded heavily: "Finally, I'm going to see the dragon! I'm so happy!"

Wen Ming led the two back to his office, then looked at the seven Dragon Balls on the ground and said in a deep voice, "Come out, Shenron!"

"Ow—"

An ancient dragon's roar suddenly resounded inside the house.

A dazzling white light suddenly illuminated the faces of the three people.

A powerful dragon burst forth from the white light and soared toward the ceiling. As it twisted and turned, its enormous body exuded an immense sense of oppression.

As Wen Ming gazed at the divine dragon rising from the Dragon Ball, a shiver ran down his spine from head to toe, back to his brain, and he felt his whole body trembling.

This is a scene that appeared countless times in my dreams when I was a child.

Now, my dream has actually come true!

And you can even make a wish!
This feels like a dream.

Little Goku looked up at the dragon writhing on the ceiling, his eyes shining with excitement: "This is Shenron? It's so majestic! Even more majestic than in the comic books!"

Bulma excitedly grabbed Wenming's arm and looked happily at the dragon.

Even if you've seen it in comics, seeing Shenron up close still gets your blood pumping.

The dragon appeared, let out a roar, then sensed something was wrong and growled, "This place is way too small!"

"Please forgive me, it's raining heavily outside, and I'm worried you'll get wet."

Wen Ming quickly explained, and the dragon remained silent for a few seconds, then shrunk its body to a height of more than one person before saying, "Tell me your wish. Whatever your wish is, you can only grant one."

Without hesitation, Wen Ming stated his wish: "Please resurrect my mother."

Bulma and Goku looked at Wenming in surprise. They hadn't expected that Wenming's wish was to revive his mother. Then they remembered that Wenming's parents had died in a car accident a few years ago.

This made both of them feel sympathy for Wen Mingsheng.

"I'm sorry, I can't grant that wish. I can only resurrect people who died within the last year."

The dragon shook its head and refused the wish.

Although Wen Ming had expected this, he was still somewhat disappointed.

He had considered two ways to resurrect his parents.

One way is to make a wish through the dragon, and the other is through a time machine.

However, he was unsure whether using the time machine within the metaverse would cause adverse consequences, so he could only hope that Shenron would grant his wish.

Just like in the comic book, Shenlong is now unable to revive his parents, which makes him somewhat sad.

"Don't be discouraged, there's still Shenron from Namek. I can help you find Shenron from Namek."

Bulma gripped Wenming's large hand tightly, and Goku raised his hand as well, saying, "That's right, we can also get the Namekian Shenron to help."

"Thank you!"

Wen Ming composed himself, thanked the two, and then said, "Then I'll trouble the dragon to revive my third uncle, Wen Fugui."

After a few seconds of silence, the dragon shook its head and said, "I'm sorry, I cannot grant this wish."

"why?"

Wen Ming stared intently at the dragon.

The dragon's red eyes were also looking at Wen Ming: "I cannot answer that question."

Wen Ming immediately understood: "He's not dead yet, is he?"

The dragon avoided the question: "State your wish."

Seeing that Shenlong didn't answer, Wen Ming guessed that the Third Uncle was probably not dead, or perhaps he was in a place that he couldn't reach.

Otherwise, Shenlong would have directly stated that resurrection was impossible.

Although this wish was not fulfilled, it confirmed one thing for Wen Ming, so he was in a much better mood: "Then I'll trouble Shenron to keep Bulma young forever."

"what?"

Bulma looked at Wen Ming in surprise. She never expected that Wen Ming would help her realize this idea that had only recently come to her.

How did he find out about my idea?
Sure enough, he loves me the most!
But isn't such a wish a bit too wasteful?

"this is very simple."

Shenron looked at Bulma for a few seconds, then said, "Your wish has been granted. Well then, goodbye."

The dragon suddenly transformed into seven stones and flew swiftly out of the window that Wen Ming had opened beforehand.

Wen Ming didn't stop him, because he knew that the journey to find the Dragon Balls again would be the moment when Goku fought against the Black Ribbon Army, and it would also be an opportunity for Goku to grow again.

This time, Tao Pai Pai probably won't be able to injure Goku with a single Dodon Wave.

"Why did you give me your wish?"

Bulma touched her face, her expression a mixture of astonishment, happiness, and joy.

Stay young forever?

This is a dream that countless women have longed for!

My boyfriend is so good to me, I can only repay him with my body for the rest of my life.

Wen Ming smiled and looked at her: "Isn't it good to stay young and beautiful forever?"

"Of course!"

Bulma happily hugged Wenming: "Actually, there's no need to waste this wish. We're about to get the Super Soldier Serum, aren't we? And Maya's Extremis Virus is almost ready to be developed. Both of these things can make me stronger and keep me young."

"They're different. Besides, the Super Soldier Serum doesn't slow down aging. Natasha's serum does, but I feel like neither of them is as effective as the Dragon's Wish."

Wen Ming looked at the Dragon Ball girl, feeling quite pleased. If Bulma could stay young forever, she could always be at her peak and help him with his inventions.

I'm such a genius.

As long as Bulma continues her research, she'll eventually be able to create serums that are even stronger than those.

Wen Ming was very clear about whether he wanted to eat a full meal at one meal or eat a full meal at every meal.

As for yourself?

Wen Ming was not in a hurry.

As long as Goku and Bulma stay loyal to him, what Dragon Ball can't he get?

"Thank you!"

Bulma was so moved that she forgot everything else and jumped into Wenming's arms.

"Bulma, what are you doing?"

Goku looked at Bulma in confusion, but Bulma immediately scolded him, "Goku, go back to your room and go to sleep. I need to discuss my body with Wenming."

"Oh!"

Little Goku frowned: "Bulma's so mean, I'm going to sleep—"

Seeing Goku run off quickly, Bulma hooked her arm around Wenming's neck and said, "Wenming, it seems that Shenron went too far in modifying my body just now."

"Where does it hurt?"

Wen Ming looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Can the dragon still make mistakes?
"Today the medical pod adjusted my height and body to the optimal proportions, but the dragon seems to have made me bigger again."

"Feel it, see if it's gotten bigger."

……

That night, a fierce storm raged outside the Iron Hotel, while inside, a gentle breeze and drizzle fell.

Wen Ming worked diligently until four o'clock in the morning before returning to his room to lie down and properly study his body, which had become stronger again.

That's right, the Dragon Ball wish was fulfilled, the first volume of the Dragon Ball storyline ended, and the power-ups naturally followed at the same time.

This illustrates that in comics or TV series, you only get a boost to your character's strength once you complete a volume or season.

However, Wen Ming never expected that this enhancement would be so miraculous.

"This, this is a tail?!"

Wen Ming looked at the fluffy tail that had suddenly appeared behind him and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He had actually acquired Saiyan blood.

This is like a dream.

The problem is, what's the big deal about having multiple tails?

Wen Ming got up and opened the door. Ninth Brother, who was standing outside, immediately turned around: "Boss? Is something the matter?"

Has Queen Qing returned?

"not yet."

"No one is allowed to come in later."

"Okay, boss."

Wen Ming closed the door, turned on the music system in the room, turned the music up to the maximum, and then went into the bathroom.

Taking out a towel and stuffing it into his mouth, Wen Ming picked up a pair of scissors and walked into the shower room.

"Crash-"

With the showerhead on full blast, Wen Ming felt the tail that had only grown a few minutes ago. It was fluffy and felt real, no different from any other part of his body.

"It's a pity I can't keep you here."

Being strong is temporary, but being handsome is for a lifetime.

Wen Ming would never leave himself with this potential source of trouble.

Even if this tail could increase my strength tenfold.

Let whoever wants to transform go ahead and transform.

I would never turn into a gorilla.

Wen Ming bit down on the towel, picked up the scissors, aimed them at the base of the tail, and with a swift and decisive cut, just as a clap of thunder sounded.

"Crack!"

The Saiyans' greatest weapon, and also their most dangerous weakness, was cut off cleanly at the root without hesitation by Wen Ming.

"Well--"

Even though Wen Ming was mentally prepared, he still let out a low groan.

Fortunately, the loud music, the sound of the shower, the thunder, the soundproof doors, and most importantly, the towel completely masked the groan, so that Ninth Brother, who was on duty outside the door, did not notice what was happening inside.

"laugh--"

The first aid spray was quickly applied to the base of the tail, and the wound at the base of the tail visibly healed rapidly, leaving a dark red mark.

As time went by, the mark quickly dissolved and eventually disappeared completely.

"Next, it's the tail."

Wen Ming looked at the tail, which was over a meter long, in his hand and felt a headache coming on.

He thought for a moment, then went outside and called POD 153 in: "Use a laser to vaporize this thing."

POD 153 faithfully carried out the order. After the fluffy tail had completely disappeared, Wen Ming instructed, "Delete this record completely. It cannot be archived."

"Got it, boss."

The POD 153 warning light flashed once.

Still not entirely at ease, Wen Ming connected the POD 153 to the computer and quickly scanned its chip. Only after confirming that there were no records was he relieved.

I should have had POD 153 help vaporize the tail.

That way, you won't have to feel that pain.

However, if he could do it all over again, Wen Ming would still choose to cut off his own tail.

As Wen Ming perused the core code of POD 153, his mind raced, and many ideas quickly emerged. Wen Ming knew that this meant his intelligence had improved.

Bulma's intelligence must have also improved.

Poor Tony, he just had an intelligence boost and thought he could easily crush Bulma. Now that Bulma has also been boosted, the gap between them will only widen.

After all, the base numbers are different.

同样是提升30%，智力100提升之后是130，而智力130提升之后是169。

Moreover, the higher you go, the more difficult it becomes.

You can tell that from your own actions.

His original intelligence was far inferior to Bulma's, and even to Tony's. Now, after two consecutive intelligence enhancements, his level is probably only comparable to Tony's before the enhancements.

After all, even if Tony can't compare to Bulma, he's still a genius.

This is a complete hierarchy of contempt.

I hope Batman finishes one of his storylines soon.

By the way, what was the plot of the first Batman movie? The League of Shadows?
Now that Batman hasn't gone to receive training from the League of Shadows, will this plot still be triggered?
By the way, if I can obtain Goku's Saiyan bloodline, will I also be able to obtain Jason's immortality and Bulma's eternal youth?

Does anyone have someone to work for them in the first volume of Dragon Ball?

It seems not.

All of these characters have their own backstories, and none of them are destined to die but survive.

Now that the Iron Man 1 storyline is finished, Howard and his wife may have taken up a character slot. So, which character should Tomb Raider 1 choose?

There don't seem to be many special characters in it, except for the monk who prepared a cup of holy water that could heal Lara's wounds, which seems like something that can be obtained.

The question is, what use is he?

Now that he has a more powerful emergency spray, medical pod, and magic beans, he's going to the Buddhist hall to chant sutras.
Forget about Friday the 13th; Jason definitely won't bring anyone with him, since everyone in that movie is dead.

It seems that not all film and television universes can find suitable employees.

After thinking about random things for a while, Wen Ming stopped thinking and instead took advantage of his inability to sleep to perform a system upgrade on POD 153.

This drone system is very advanced, but it previously belonged to the YoRHa forces. Even though 2B kept it for himself, it still belonged to the YoRHa forces.

The Yorhakdi forces have the highest authority over it, how can that be allowed?

So Wen Ming brute-forcedly modified its system without saying a word.

After working so hard until it was broad daylight outside, Wen Ming finally fell into a deep sleep in bed.

Before going to sleep, Wen Ming didn't forget to take out a book called "Innate Doumu Purple Light Pill Heavenly Thunder Method", page 38.

The third uncle has a huge collection of books.

Three seconds later.

Loud snoring could be heard from the big bed on time.

……

On Sunday, the heavy rain did not stop. After becoming a little lighter in the early morning, it became heavy again around seven or eight o'clock.

In such heavy rain, a bald head stands out particularly conspicuously.

Why is it raining?

Lex, the bald man, cursed under his breath. The pretty girl walking beside him covered her head with a book and looked at the Iron Hotel in the pouring rain with amazement: "It's amazing. It's sunny in our universe, but it's raining so hard here."

"Hurry up, Lina, or you'll get soaked."

Lex looked at the girl beside him with affection, and then the two of them ran together toward the Iron Hotel ahead.

As soon as they entered the hotel, they saw the two towels that Charon had brought over.

"Thank you, Charon."

Lex grabbed a towel and quickly dried his bald head, then asked, "Where's Wen Ming?"

"The boss is still sleeping. He told me not to disturb him this morning because he went to bed very late last night."

Do you need breakfast? Or would you like some morning tea?

"Morning tea, my sister and I, the two of us."

Hearing that Wen Ming was resting, Lex frowned: "Who's in the underground hospital? Is Rebecca there?"

"Rebecca wasn't feeling well today and is resting."

Rebecca is resting too?
Lex frowned.

With his intuition far surpassing that of others, he was certain that Rebecca's discomfort was related to Wen Ming, but he couldn't guess why she was feeling unwell.

Did Rebecca get beaten up by Wen Ming?
I must save her!
"Who else is in the underground hospital? I want to get my hair treated. Wen Ming promised to treat my hair this morning."

With Rebecca not around, Lex had no choice but to settle for second best and ask who could make the decisions: "Should we call Pepper?"

"unnecessary."

Charon shook his head and said, "The boss arranged that after you arrive, I will be in charge of treating your hair, and Dr. Maya will assist you."

"Dr. Maya?"

Lex was somewhat surprised to hear the name for the first time: "Who is she?"

“She is one of the staff members of the biological laboratory in the research department of our Iron Hotel. You can come to her for any biological research orders in the future.”

After briefly introducing Dr. Maya, Charon pressed the combat power detector on his ear: "Queen of the Sea, has Dr. Maya arrived at the laboratory yet?"

"No, Dr. Maya said she wasn't feeling well and is resting this morning."

The Queen's voice quickly rang out, nearly choking Lex, who was drinking tea, on his hot coffee: "She's resting too?"

"Yes, she must have stayed up very late last night researching before going to sleep."

You know, researchers always stay up late.

"Wait a moment, I'll ask Bulma again."

A few seconds later, the Queen's voice came again: "Bulma is not feeling well either, she should rest today."

Charon smiled apologetically, which fueled Lex's resentment: "So, you're the only one left who can heal me?"

"Of course, the boss had Dr. Maya assist him because he wanted to understand the cause of your illness."

Charon's matter-of-fact answer made Lex involuntarily narrow his eyes.

Is Wen Ming still angry?
To thank you—no, Rebecca—for saving my life and curing my baldness, I brought my own sister with me!
Lina looked at Charon with some suspicion: "You can cure Lex's baldness by yourself? I don't believe it."

"In fact, it's not necessarily curable, after all, we need to determine whether Lex's condition is just ordinary baldness."

Charon paid no attention to their questions and gestured for them to come downstairs with him: "Actually, it's my off-duty time now. I only work the night shift."

So, Lex, you'll need to be paid overtime for today's treatment. Is that acceptable?

"Of course! It's just overtime pay, right? I'm willing to pay whatever it takes! I brought gold with me!"

Lex, who had been there a few times, knew that Charon only worked the night shift, so he generously took out his all-purpose capsule.

Charon gave a bright smile: "Don't worry, my salary isn't high, but rules are rules."

Lex shrugged. "I know, this hotel is all about rules."

Isn't it just money?
I have plenty of money!
Although I'm not as wealthy as the world's richest families like the Bulma, Child, and Wayne Group, I'm not bad either.

All I need to do is kill my damn father—Lenno Luther.

Charon led the two to the medical pod room in the underground hospital, politely pointing to the high-tech medical pod: "Lie down in there."

The usually composed Lex trembled with excitement as he looked at the high-tech medical pod.

I'm finally going to have hair!
