"Huh? Why are you eating standing up too?"

Laura looked at 2B in surprise, and 2B said naturally, "I don't want to get my dress dirty."

Ok.

This is a very good and powerful reason.

Wen Mingdu couldn't help but give 2B a thumbs up.

It seems we need to prepare more wooden chairs with greater load-bearing capacity in the future.

9S is 160cm tall and weighs 129.9kg.

2B is 168cm tall and weighs 148.8kg.

If the two of them were to sit on a regular chair, their combined weight would likely cause destructive damage to the chair.

Just like the T800 back then.

White hair, black stockings, high-heeled boots, uniform...

Tony was captivated by 2B's innocent yet sophisticated charm once again.

Fuck, how come this hotel attracts so many pretty young girls?

Although I've always preferred mature styles, which man wouldn't be attracted to this one?

Thinking of this, Tony moved closer to 2B: "You know what? I'm very good at researching artificial intelligence. I created the AI ​​Aqua Queen for the hotel."

"is it?"

2B carefully picked up the fried dough stick in front of her and put it in her mouth.

The crispy outer layer and the fluffy interior create an extreme contrast in texture, and the artificial human's structural components immediately transmit this wonderful texture to 2B's chip.

"Fried dough sticks are delicious."

2B glanced at Evan beside her and followed his example, soaking the fried dough sticks in soy milk. After the outer skin softened, the combination of soft and crispy textures immediately brought her a completely new experience.

Is this what humans actually eat?
It tastes so much better than what I ate in the bunker.

"Hey, how about we talk about artificial intelligence later?"

"Sorry, I'm more interested in the food."

Tony felt a wave of frustration wash over him when he saw 2B intently eating a fried dough stick.

What is going on?
Why can't I flirt with any of the pretty girls at the Iron Hotel?
Just because I can't cook?

Mom, where are you?

Can you teach me how to cook right now?

That damn Wen Ming, he uses his excellent cooking skills to flirt with girls everywhere.

Too foul.

……

Wenming saw 2B drinking soy milk seriously and was a little worried that the soy milk might corrode her components.

However, as Ninth Brother previously stated, their artificial humans possess complete human organ components, and they can do anything that humans can do.

Hopefully it won't leak.

Wipe your mouth.

Seeing that 2B had finished drinking, Wenming handed her a tissue. 2B said thank you and gently wiped away a trace of smudge from her lips.

Is this also a ritual for humans when they eat?

I don't think I've seen it in the book.

……

"Nick Fury used a wide-area jammer this time, cutting off all wireless networks, communication signals, and all physical networks."

Then my ninth brother and I rushed in and easily destroyed Dr. Zola's consciousness.

Tony sat on the sofa, legs crossed, and vividly recounted last night's events to everyone.

Howard, Maria, and Pepper occasionally exclaimed in amazement.

Miss 2B and Catwoman sat to the side, completely unmoved, which greatly annoyed Tony: "Did you know? To protect his true form, Dr. Zola has hidden three Hydra task forces in the underground fortress."

He had also installed a self-destruct device; if I hadn't deactivated it at the last minute, the entire bunker would have exploded.

"Tony, you're amazing."

Maria, as the mother, was the best straight man, and Howard also had a sense of pride on his face. After all, Hydra was his lifelong enemy, and now his son had eliminated the most crucial Dr. Zola, which was definitely something to celebrate.

However, 2B and Catwoman still didn't react, which made Tony even more embarrassed.

What do these two pretty girls actually like?
"Have you obtained the Hydra list yet?"

Wen Ming reminded Tony to get to the point.

For Ninth Brother and POD 153, a consciousness that uses an old, broken, and outdated computer as a container, even the famous Dr. Zola, is as easy as a cat playing with a mouse. They are not worried at all that Dr. Zola can cause any trouble.

"We got it. We found it after POD 153 scanned all the storage devices."

When the POD 153 was mentioned, Tony revealed a hint of covetousness; he was extremely impressed with the drone.

In this operation to take down Dr. Zola, the role of POD 153 alone far exceeded that of Nick Fury's secret operations team.

Nick Fury has spoken out, urging Tony to cooperate with Wen Ming as soon as possible to replicate the POD drone, which would enhance the combat capabilities of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s action teams and agents.

"Then let's go to each person on the list, from top to bottom, and take them down one by one."

Wen Ming breathed a sigh of relief. The current timeline is quite early, and Hydra is not fully prepared yet. After Dr. Zola is taken down, the remaining Hydra agents within S.H.I.E.L.D. should not pose a significant threat.

Tony immediately said, "While Nick Fury launched the raid on Dr. Zola, Alexander Pierce, Crossbones Brock Rumlow, Grant Ward, John Garrett, and Bakshi were also arrested at the same time."

As of this morning, all of them have been killed.

"So fast?"

Wen Ming sat up straight. Was Eggman really that fierce?

How did they manage to subdue these infamous Hydra Minotaur in such a short time?

All I can say is that Eggman truly deserves to be called S.H.I.E.L.D.'s number one Voldemort.

Pierce is alright, but Crossbones, Grant, John Garrett, and others are the elite of the elite. They are extremely difficult to kill, whether in the Marvel movies or Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Are they all wiped out overnight?

Doesn't this make Coulson, the top employee of S.H.I.E.L.D., seem a bit pathetic?

Or is it that your former boss, Nick Fury, is too good at fighting?

“Nick Fury didn’t tell me these things at first; he only told me after we got the roster.” Tony was a little angry. “I really dislike this habit of his; he doesn’t tell his teammate anything.”

"That's because he's cautious."

Wen Ming, however, largely agreed with Nick Fury's approach, and finally asked, "Did the Captain go looking for him? Did Captain Marvel contact him?"

"The captain has been found and is being retrieved. We'll see if he needs to be treated in a medical pod after he's thawed."

As for Captain Marvel, well, how should I put it, she wants to see you.

Tony's words surprised Wen Ming: "She wants to see me? Why?"

Tony shrugged: "Who knows? That woman's got a big nose in the air, she looks down on everyone."

Thinking of Captain Marvel's sour face, Tony's expression darkened even more.

Falk.

That woman was unmovable.

Just because you can fly doesn't mean you're anything special.

I can fly too!

"Alright, go ahead and ask her out. See if you can bring her to the Metaverse."

"By the way, why didn't you bring Nick Fury along?"

Wen Ming suddenly thought of a question.

Tony scoffed, "Him? He's afraid you'll kill him after I bring him here."

Wen Ming was taken aback, then burst into laughter.

Well, Nick Fury truly is a born secret agent; he trusts no one.

In this respect, he's comparable to Batman.

They are all patients with paranoia.

……

After finishing their conversation about Tony, Wenming gestured for him to leave, but Iron Man's eyes were only on 2B and Catwoman, so how could he possibly leave? He pretended not to see them.

Howard and Maria were quite perceptive; once they were certain that most of the Hydra leaders in S.H.I.E.L.D. had been taken down and their son's safety had been further improved, they said goodbye and left with peace of mind.

Maria was busy interviewing Wen Ming's assistant, while Howard went back to study the truckload of weapons John had brought back from Elysium.

Seeing that Tony wasn't leaving, Wen Ming didn't chase him away. Instead, he looked at Miss 2B and asked, "What were the results of your test?"

Miss 2B's face was filled with unspeakable sadness: "Everything you showed me was real. The truth of the world is so false."

"2B, cheer up. At least you don't have to live aimlessly like before."

When Ninth Brother saw 2B was sad, he immediately stood up to encourage her.

Miss 2B looked up at him and asked, "How did you come back to life?"

"Me? My corpse was possessed by a deranged serial killer, and then the boss took the opportunity to kill him, and used the Queen of the Sea's main program to combine the serial killer's and my original programs and memories..."

Ninth Brother gave a detailed account of his rebirth process. Wen Ming could see that although Ninth Brother was no longer the original 9S, he was still as enthusiastic about 2B as ever.

"I really envy you. You're not much different from a real human being anymore."

After listening, 2B was deeply moved. Ninth Brother quickly encouraged her again: "2B, you definitely have more emotions than me, I..."

I don't want to talk about this.

Miss 2B interrupted Ninth Brother's words and then looked at Wen Ming: "Boss Wen, you said before that as long as I am willing to accept employment or get you the Ho229 Type-S flight unit, you are willing to pay me gold, right?"

"Yes, are you going to save your companions?"

Wen Ming immediately understood 2B's plan, and Ninth Brother quickly said, "I just earned $30, which I can give to 2B to help you save your YoRHa comrades. Tony, pay up quickly!"

"what?"

Tony, who was watching the commotion, was stunned. He never expected to be called out to him. With a sour look on his face, he pulled out the Capsule of Origin from his pocket, took out gold and tossed it to Ninth Brother, while looking at Miss 2B: "Do you need to attack the enemy? My Iron Man armor is very powerful. Do you want me to help you? I can give you a discount, or even for free. I just want to make friends with you."

At this point, fearing that 2B might doubt his abilities, Tony immediately took out his Iron Man armor from the weapons cabinet and put it on: "I wore it last night and easily killed dozens of well-trained agents. My combat power is shown in the combat power detector to be a full 300!"

Looking at Tony, who was displaying his peacock-like display, Wen Ming just wanted to cover his face.

You've lost all sense of shame just to pick up girls.

2B glanced up at the Iron Man suit, a stream of data flashing in her eyes. The next second, Tony exclaimed, "Wow? Jarvis, Jarvis? Why can't I move?"

"Sir, I am under attack... I'm sorry, I cannot..."

Jarvis's voice seemed to be greatly disturbed, coming out in fits and starts.

Tony quickly fell out of the Iron Man suit and looked at 2B in surprise: "What did you do?"

"I'm sorry, you can't help me."

Miss 2B shook her head, and Ninth Brother next to her chuckled: "Your AI is too rudimentary. Although 2B is not a reconnaissance-type android like me, she is still very good at intrusion."

Tony's face turned bright red, whether from anger or embarrassment was unclear.

Wen Ming quickly smoothed things over: "The universe where 2B lives has been fighting against mechanical lifeforms for thousands of years. Even artificial humans like them have been created for over a hundred years. It can be said that they have been fighting against AI all along, so they can easily break through all firewalls."

Ordinary AI is basically no match for them.

Wen Ming's words made Tony's expression soften slightly.

To be honest, he has suffered too many blows in the past month. First Bulma, then Kara, and now 2B. Are all the universes these people live in really this terrifying?
The AI ​​Jarvis that I created was easily breached by the opponent in just a few seconds!
Even if the Iron Man suit's AI doesn't have a large mainframe to provide computing power, the speed at which it broke through the defenses was still too fast.
No, I have to upgrade Jarvis!

Seeing that Tony was silent, 2B looked at Wen Ming and said, "I want to end this war, wipe out all the killers among the machine lifeforms, and save all the YoRHa soldiers. I don't want them to go through the pain of rebooting again and again."

"I see."

Wen Ming also felt sorry for Miss 2B's plight.

Time and again, he killed his comrades, and time and again, he was restarted and re-optimized by the command. Every cycle was a torment.

If she hadn't known before, that would have been one thing, but now that she knows a deeper historical background than "humanity has long been extinct," Miss 2B is determined to end it all, and Wen Ming agrees with her decision.

"You are still under the control and surveillance of the headquarters. I suggest you bring A2 here and see if you can bring A2 to the metaverse."

"If possible, you can act as an inside man at headquarters, letting A2 and Ninth Brother gather strength here with me, and then strike when the time is right."

YoRHa Type A2 was the previous generation of combat robots and the prototype of the YoRHa forces. In the early operations, it was completely wiped out because the headquarters did not provide support, with only A2 surviving. After returning to the bunker, she copied her personality and transferred it to Type 2E.

After that, A2 left the bunker completely, seeking revenge against the machine lifeforms and headquarters.

Overall, A2 is worse off than 2B and 9S.

Eradicating all mechanical lifeforms wouldn't be easy, and Miss 2B was well aware of that. So she stood up and bowed deeply to Wen Ming: "Then I'll leave everything to you, Boss Wen. I'll contact A2 as soon as I get back." "Let's work together!"

Wenming is very much looking forward to the NieR: Automata universe, and wonders what reward he will get for helping 2B complete the story.

Even if we get nothing else, getting the entire YoRHa army would be great.

The thought of having a large number of 2B (a slang term for young, somewhat eccentric women) female employees in the future fills Wen Ming with enthusiasm.

Thinking of this, Wen Ming suddenly had a good idea: "Speaking of which, why don't you take advantage of every mission to bring every 9S partner you have to this universe?"

Wen Ming became more and more excited as he thought about it: "Anyway, 9S will eventually die after a while, so why don't you take advantage of the gaps in your missions to bring them to the metaverse?"

Once these androids arrive and learn the truth about the world, they will definitely be willing to fight alongside you.

I'll work with Bulma to upgrade their firewall and remove all the backdoors from your systems. That way, we'll have a large workforce ready for a counterattack later.

Miss 2B's eyes suddenly lit up, and she nodded vigorously: "I will carry out Boss Wen's plan!"

Tony and Selena listened from the side and nodded in agreement. Then Tony began to look down on Wen Ming.

So insidious.

I must be wary of him from now on.

Wen Ming happily reminded him, "Remember to back up your memories in your knife regularly, so that you won't lose all your memories if something goes wrong and you get rebooted one day."

"I know."

Miss 2B glanced at Ninth Brother, who thought she had something to tell him and excitedly came closer. But 2B didn't say anything. Instead, she stretched out her fair hand to Wen Ming and said, "Please give me a capsule. Next time you come, I will have A2 bring you back a Ho229 Type-S. At the same time, I will also try to get you the blueprints for all the androids and the POD."

Wen Ming was overjoyed and immediately took out an empty universal capsule from his pocket. Then he took out a combat power detector from his weapon box and handed it to Miss 2B: "This combat power detector is much better than your tactical goggles. It may be able to help you search for all mechanical lifeforms and A2."

"Thank you!"

Miss 2B looked at the white combat power detector in her hand, a strange emotion flashed in her eyes, she bowed deeply again, and then turned and left gracefully.

"2B, do you want me to come back with you?"

Ninth Brother stood behind Wen Ming, tiptoeing to look at 2B's back.

However, 2B didn't stop and drove straight away.

Ninth Brother was devastated, and Wen Ming was trying to figure out how to comfort him when the little boy immediately raised his face and said excitedly, "Boss, 2B must be afraid that I will get hurt if I go back with her, so she deliberately doesn't respond to me."

Wen Ming was taken aback, then patted him on the shoulder: "You're right!"

Ninth Brother immediately became smug: "2B is very special to me."

Tony, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand it anymore and retorted, "Even if you keep groveling like that, she won't give you a second glance!"

Catwoman immediately glared at Tony: "If you can't have it yourself, don't discourage others, okay?"

Tony scoffed, "I'm just trying to make him realize this sooner rather than later."

Selena looked at her ninth brother with some concern.

She sat next to me without saying a word, completely absorbed in shipping the couple. I'm really worried that Ninth Brother might be hurt by these few words.

However, to her surprise, Ninth Brother didn't seem to care much about Tony's words. Instead, he said, "I've been reborn. I'm no longer that possessive and yandere 9S."

"Right now, I just want to help 9S make up for his regrets and help 2B achieve his goal as soon as possible."

"what?"

Selena stared at Ninth Brother in disbelief. "I've been watching this for so long, and it's all for nothing."

Tony was speechless.

This kid is so stubborn.

……

"Finally it's my turn!"

After 2B left, Catwoman Selena stretched and said, "It's so hard to see you. Do you know how long I listened to the commotion outside your door last night?"

Tony couldn't take his eyes off her hot body.

"Oh? You're outside? I should have told you to come in with me."

Wen Ming's uncharacteristic counterattack earned Tony's thumbs up.

This is a real man.

Selena knew that Wen Ming had always been domineering towards her, so she immediately went along with it: "Of course I'd love to play together, it's just that you never invite me."

Tony swallowed hard, feeling he couldn't stay there any longer: "I'm going back to keep killing Hydra. Let Pepper know in advance when we're going to attack the Flying Fortress."

How could he tolerate such a beautiful woman spending all her time playing cards with Wen Ming?

I have to go back and play with the cover girl.

The kind of person who doesn't get out of bed all day.

"Okay, there's no rush now. I have a lot of things to do lately, and I need to deal with them one by one."

After seeing Tony off, Wen Ming turned to Selena and asked, "Tell me, did you kill your boss's wife?"

"of course."

Selena stood up and walked with cat-like steps to Wen Ming. She boldly sat in Wen Ming's lap: "With the confidence you gave me, I killed her easily."

"So, what is your area of ​​focus for improvement?"

Wen Ming examined his body and was momentarily unaware of which aspect had been enhanced.

Selena drew circles on Wen Ming's chest with her finger: "I feel like my overall abilities have more than doubled, but guess what has improved the most?"

"What is it?"

Overall capabilities more than doubled?

Wen Ming realized that this might be because the catwoman was resurrected by the divine cat and given powerful physical abilities, which were enhanced in all aspects. Therefore, after completing the storyline, she was also enhanced in all aspects.

This is a comprehensive statement.

"I can curl myself into a ball, do you want to play?"

Selena leaned close to Wen Ming's ear, her seductive voice making Wen Ming's heart itch.

"Flexibility?"

Wen Ming was somewhat surprised, but it was also reasonable.

Catwoman's flexibility was already very high, and now it has more than doubled. For her, performing a difficult contortionist move like curling into a ball is indeed not a big deal.

"Yes, flexibility, are you sure you don't want to try? I can put both mouths together."

Selena was somewhat surprised to see that Wen Ming remained unmoved.

Aren't these the things men love the most?

Now she was becoming increasingly curious about Wen Ming, this mysterious man.

You see, she wasn't lying. She knew exactly what Wen Ming had done last night, yet he remained unmoved.

This man's willpower is incredibly strong?

Upon hearing Selena's alluring words, Wen Ming felt a surge of heat rush to his heart, but it was quickly doused with cold water by a powerful mental force.

This suddenly made him realize something: "No, you've strengthened not only your body, but also your mental strength and charisma!"

Selena tensed up suddenly, her cat-like eyes snapping open: "You even know this?"

"Because you said it's an all-round improvement."

Wen Ming did not answer Selena's question directly, but instead passed it on to her. However, Selena had been comprehensively enhanced twice, so her intelligence was naturally not low.

She gazed at the mysterious man so close to her, her eyes gleaming with passion: "I'm finding myself increasingly infatuated with you."

Compared to the mysterious Wen Ming, what is that little bat?
He just has a little money.
Moreover, Wen Ming's wealth was not small.

Knowing that Wenming's business has already spread across multiple universes, Selena believes that Wenming will definitely be richer than Bruce in the future.

"Being fascinated is fine, but you can't steal anymore."

Wen Ming grabbed the restless little hand and then took out the Book of Spells: "Now that you possess powerful mental strength, you can study the spells in this book carefully."

Seeing the spellbook Wen Ming handed her, Selena's cat-like eyes shone even brighter. She quickly flipped through a few pages, and when she saw one powerful spell after another, she couldn't care less about anything else. She grabbed Wen Ming's head and kissed him passionately, asking, "Why are you so good to me?"

"I want you to become my employee."

Wen Ming made no attempt to hide his thoughts.

Catwoman, resurrected by the cat goddess, is no less powerful than Captain America, who was injected with the Super Soldier Serum. Now, with her comprehensive enhancement, only John, who has been enhanced four times, can suppress her. Ada Wong, who has been enhanced twice, is probably only evenly matched with her.

The current Catwoman has just been resurrected and hasn't fully become the female thief who pursues the thrill of theft. With proper training, she can definitely become one of the most capable secretaries.

"Can't it be a lover?" Selena had a big appetite, but Wen Ming smiled without saying a word.

Seeing that Wen Ming didn't answer, Selena wasn't angry. Instead, she asked, "Aren't you afraid that after I learn powerful magic, I'll betray or leave you?"

Wen Ming slapped the catwoman hard on her pert buttocks: "I thought that after witnessing the power of the divine cat and the enhancement after the end of the plot, you would be able to see the future more clearly."

"what--"

The catwoman let out a seductive moan, then glared at Wen Ming with a charming glare: "Can't you be a little gentler?"

I thought you liked me to be a little heavier.

Wen Ming slapped him again.

This time, the力度 (intensity/strength) is even greater.

"Now I understand why Sarah and the others aren't jealous."

After taking another deep breath of oxygen, Selena sat up straight, her face flushed, and looked down at Wen Ming: "I've prepared a gift for you."

"what gift?"

"I thought I wouldn't be able to bring it, but I just tried and it came to me."

Selena got up, walked to the window, and opened it. A beautiful tabby cat leaped in.

Upon seeing the tabby cat, Wen Ming jumped to his feet.

"You brought the divine cat?"

Selena proudly picked up the tabby cat and walked up to Wen Ming: "Midnight, this is Wen Ming, the owner of the Iron Hotel. You two should get to know each other."

The divine cat raised its neck at midnight to look at Wen Ming. Wen Ming felt incredulous. He reached out his right hand, somewhat hesitantly, and asked, "Can I touch it?"

"Of course, Midnight has a very gentle personality."

Selena handed Midnight to Wenming, who was flattered and hugged her tightly.

The fluffy tabby cat has a body temperature a few degrees higher than that of a normal person, so it's very comfortable to hold in your arms: "Hello, midnight."

At midnight, he looked up at Wen Ming and meowed.

Somehow, Wen Ming understood what the other person meant.

"Ninth Brother, go to the kitchen and make something for Midnight to eat. Remember to make a lot of fish."

Ninth Brother looked at the tabby cat in Wen Ming's arms in surprise: "This is a small animal? I really want to pet it too."

"Go quickly, once you've made it happy, it'll definitely let you touch it."

Wenming urged his ninth brother to hurry up and get the food, and then he began to pet the cat.

Feeling comfortable after being petted by him at midnight, Wen Ming lay in his arms with his eyes half-closed, grinning from ear to ear: "Now I finally know why so many people like to pet cats."

"Then, shall we leave Midnight here from now on?"

A smug glint flashed in Selena's eyes.

Laura?

Sarah?

Ada Wong?
Natasha?
Haha, who among you is smarter than me? Who is more capable than me?

This is a legendary cat!
A divine cat that can bring the dead back to life and bestow great power upon them.

I ask you, what makes you think you can compete with me?

I'm determined to win over this mysterious iron hotel owner!

Upon hearing Selena's words, Wen Ming did not rush to answer, but instead looked at the divine cat in his arms: "Midnight, would you like to stay with me?"

Upon hearing this at midnight, he jumped from Wen Ming's arms to the ground.

Selena's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, midnight's not happy?

Wen Ming understood what Midnight was going to do. He quickly stepped forward, opened the office door, and then saw Midnight strolling along the wall towards the fire escape.

Selena also understood what Midnight meant, and she followed after him with some surprise.

Where is it going?
