Wanjie Hotel: Iron Man is not allowed to charge

Chapter 168 The Ugly Emperor: Delivering Gold to Boss Wen in a Truck (7K Views, Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"Indeed, this universe called 'A Certain Magical Index' has a very advanced and scientific approach to the research of superpowers..."

Qinghou quickly gave the two a brief introduction to the historical background of "A Certain Magical Index", and then said: "This technology is very important. The boss's intention is not to sell it to you, but only to provide you with superpower activation services."

After all, this technology is different from medical pods; if it becomes widespread, it might not necessarily be a good thing for your universe.

Tony and Bruce exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat unwilling.

As severe sufferers of paranoia, the two naturally did not want to receive only an activation service.

They definitely want to control such powerful technology.

"Name your price, and I'll buy it."

Tony raised his chin.

Bruce raised his chin even higher: "My prices will only go up, never down."

Tony immediately objected: "Little Bat, are you trying to outdo me in wealth?"

Bruce remained unfazed: "Little Iron Man, you can't compare to me in terms of wealth."

Seeing that the two were about to start fighting, Qinghou had no choice but to say, "The hotel staff, including your parents, have all had their superpowers activated by the boss."

However, it's also possible that it might not activate, as some people's constitution and genes are inherently incapable of activation. Please be prepared for this.

Upon hearing that their parents could be activated, Tony and Bruce calmed down slightly, but they were still unwilling to give up: "The price is negotiable."

Can you guarantee that this technology will not be leaked?

The Queen of the Blues retorted, "Your universe is already chaotic. If it were given to you, Tony, are you sure Nick Fury wouldn't use the excuse of fighting Thanos to build a massive army of superpowered beings?"
Bruce, are you sure Lex won't send an army of superpowered beings to destroy your Gotham City and Superman's Metropolis?

Therefore, I would advise the boss that not only should this technology not be sold, but the activation service should be sold at an extremely high price, at least $100 million per person per activation, and there's no guarantee of activation.

Tony and Bruce exchanged a glance and nodded almost simultaneously: "This price is reasonable."

"Let's talk about these high-tech weapons first."

With a smile, Qinghou began promoting other products. Although Tony and Bruce were somewhat dissatisfied, they still kept their heads down and looked at the products from the two universes.

Molecular vibration electromagnetic wave transmitters, catapults, lasers, laser emitting rods, missile bays, precision-guided missiles, plasma cannons, bunker demolitions, excavating drills, plasma blades, liquid weapon turrets including acid sprayers, flamethrowers and liquid nitrogen launchers, rapid-fire cannons and large-caliber electromagnetic railguns...

Seeing so much high technology, their earlier dissatisfaction gradually dissipated.

"Buy them all! I want them all!"

The two placed their orders almost simultaneously. Qinghou said with a grin, "All military technology from 'A Certain Magical Index' will be sold for 30 billion US dollars plus a 10% commission on total sales."

All military technology in Elysium is priced at $20 billion plus a 10% commission on total sales.

Bruce, you cannot purchase the military technology from Elysium. In your universe, this technology has already been exclusively licensed to the Kara sisters.

"it is good."

Bruce didn't complain, after all, it was he who proposed the concept of exclusive licensing in the first place.

The only thing to blame is that I arrived late.

"The other technological data for these two universes are still being sorted out. Once the sorting is complete, you can place an order to purchase them."

Qinghou cleverly separated the various technologies and sold them separately to help Wenming earn as much money as possible. Tony and Bruce didn't care much about these things.

As long as they can put these technologies into practice, they can easily multiply their wealth several times over.

After Bruce and Tony finalized their shopping list, they were about to leave when Qinghou suddenly called out, "Bruce, don't rush off. Let's talk about your parents."

"Oh? Is there a problem with them?"

Bruce's attention was indeed drawn, and he looked at Qinghou with a puzzled expression.

Qinghou laughed and said, "We're about to let them experience the medical pod, won't you be there to watch?"

Bruce nodded. "Okay."

As a son, even if the treatment is very simple, I should still watch from the sidelines.

Qinghou then said, "They're about to start working at the hotel. Are you sure you don't want to talk to them?"

Bruce nodded again: "We definitely need to talk."

This job is a lifelong commitment, and they can never leave this hotel; they can only be Wenming's people. Bruce really had a lot of heartfelt words he wanted to tell the two of them.

A smile appeared on Qinghou's lips: "The most important thing is, after so many years, are you sure you don't want to have a good chat with them about what you've been through? They care about you a lot, especially your mother... Martha."

Bruce fell silent.

Tony initially wanted to mock him, but then he remembered that the other person's background was even more pitiful than his own, and suddenly he didn't know how to make a joke.

Although he disapproved, Tony knew it wasn't the right time to say anything.

He patted Bruce on the shoulder and then walked out.

By the way, has the hotel welcomed a new beautiful woman?
I heard that Wen Ming was working hard all night again last night.
No, I can't lose.

……

"Rebecca, has the boss gotten his hands on some new technology that can unlock our superpowers?"

At noon, all the staff of the Iron Hotel who had traveled through time excitedly gathered around Rebecca.

Rebecca looked at everyone's expectant eyes and said helplessly, "Please be patient. I still need to prepare these drugs and conduct experiments to see if they can work in the metaverse."

Perkins, who had already finished get off work, looked at Rebecca excitedly: "If the medical pod can work, this superpower technology must be fine."

Rebecca nodded and said, "There's a high probability that there won't be any problems, but you need to be mentally prepared."

"what?"

Everyone looked at Rebecca.

Rebecca opened the information for "A Certain Magical Index" and showed it to everyone: "While superpowers can be obtained through drugs, hypnosis, and electrical stimulation, one must be extremely intelligent to master and strengthen superpowers."

Because using superpowers requires calculating a great many parameters, it's not as simple as throwing a punch.

If you're not smart and hardworking enough, even if you gain superpowers, you'll probably have trouble even lighting a cigarette.

Besides that, I personally feel that the best way to activate it is to first inject the Super Soldier Serum to improve your overall qualities, then activate your superpowers, and finally, like those kids, learn all kinds of related knowledge so that you can continuously become stronger.

However, after the Super Soldier Serum is injected, the dosage of the drug, the intensity of the hypnosis, and the intensity of the electric shock all need to be retested. It will take some time to determine the new activation protocol.

And there's one more crucial point.

At this point, Rebecca looked at everyone's expectant eyes and felt a little reluctant: "Not everyone can be activated. Most people are likely not capable of this talent. Of the more than one million students in Academy City, the vast majority are powerless. Don't have too high expectations."

Even if activated, each person's abilities and level are determined by the "talent" dormant within them.

In other words, your genes determine whether you will be a superhuman, or what level of superhuman ability you will have.

Upon hearing that not everyone could activate superpowers, Marcus, Charon, and Max were somewhat apprehensive, but Perkins said directly, "In that case, I don't recommend waiting for the Super Soldier Serum. Instead, you should activate it first, then use the Super Soldier Serum to strengthen your body, and then enhance it further."

Also, don't worry if you can't activate it. You can wait for the Super Soldier Serum to activate it again, which is like having an extra chance.

If you still can't activate it in the end, don't worry, the boss will definitely find more ways to enhance it for us in the future.

"Rebecca, you prepare the medicine; I'll be the first to experiment!"

Selena hugged Perkins and gave her a big thumbs up: "Perkins, I support you!"

John looked at Perkins, knowing that she had always longed to catch up with him, and naturally wouldn't let go of an opportunity to strengthen herself.

He thought for a moment and said, "This is a good opportunity to make a comparison and see whether it's better to activate the effect first or inject the super soldier serum first."

Rebecca looked at Marcus and the others, who exchanged glances and then shook their heads, saying, "We don't need to wait for the super soldier serum. Let's activate our superpowers first."

If activation fails, the Super Soldier Serum can serve as a backup, giving you one more chance.

Rebecca said somewhat helplessly, "I'll prepare the medication first. It will take at least three days. After that, Dr. Maya and I will conduct a full-body examination and create files for you to monitor your physical changes over the long term, and then provide data support for your subsequent enhancement..."

"Just tell us what we want us to do. If we were smart, we wouldn't be assassins."

Marcus's words left Rebecca speechless: "So, you didn't listen at all when I said you need to be smart enough to use superpowers?"

Everyone burst into laughter: "Let's activate it first."

……

As Batman was recounting his experiences over the years to his mother, an orange school bus roared into the basement of the Flatiron Hotel.

"Hahaha, my dear Queen Qing, do you see? I've brought gold to the boss!"

Wearing a clown mask, Arthur got out of the driver's seat laughing.

From the passenger seat, a head wearing a clown mask appeared: "Hey guys, ready to move the gold?"

Selena walked up to Harley Quinn with a reproachful look on her face: "Harley, why didn't you call me to join in this fun activity? Aren't we in the same league?"

Harley jumped out of the car, hugged Selena apologetically, and said, "You know, time is tight. We have to rob a bank before Batman is in Gotham City, so we don't cause trouble for the boss."

"Alright, next time there's something like this, remember to call me!"

Selena wasn't particularly angry; she was just disappointed that she hadn't been able to participate in such a fun activity.

However, she also knew that among all the time travelers, probably only the clown would receive such support from the bank owner for robbing a bank.

If it were me, the boss would definitely whip me.

Marcus, Max, and the others stared in disbelief at the school bus filled with bags of money and gold bars: "Did they empty a bank's vault?"

"It's a pity the time was a bit short, otherwise I would definitely have been able to grab more."

Did you know? With the metaverse, robbing a bank becomes incredibly easy!

Arthur gesticulated wildly as he recounted how he drove the school bus directly into the bank, loaded all the gold bars and cash into the bus, and then brazenly disappeared into a culvert after leaving the bank.

"Wouldn't Bruce be furious?"

Looking at the mountain of gold in front of him, Perkins couldn't help but say, "I suddenly realized that all of you time travelers can rob people in this way."

In the past, the hardest part of robbing a bank wasn't how to rob it, but how to escape afterward.

Now that there's a metaverse, they can rob people and then run to the metaverse, and even if 911 works itself, it won't be able to find their trace.

"I guess only I would do that, since I'm a supervillain."

Arthur pointed at John: "John would never do that."

John shrugged: "Actually, I did think about it, but my boss was afraid I'd be wanted by the whole world, so he made me buy a lottery ticket."

"Buy lottery tickets?"

Marcus and the others laughed at the same time: "I bet you didn't win."

"Unload the truck quickly, before Bruce finds out."

The Queen's voice rang out behind everyone: "I finally managed to use Bruce's mother to pester him for half a day. After unloading the car, John, you can just drive the school bus into your world and destroy it."

“I suddenly realized, John, that we can cooperate more in the future.”

Arthur and John gave each other a big hug, then turned around and happily began carrying the gold bars and money bags.

Qinghou stood to the side, keeping a close eye on Bruce's movements through the monitor.

Half an hour later, John drove the school bus and quickly disappeared at the intersection, while a group of people excitedly crowded together to watch the gold bars being supported.

"A total of 807 kilograms."

The Queen quickly calculated the value: "According to the gold price in your time, Arthur, it's worth $973 million."

Marcus and the others all looked on with envy.

If this much gold were converted to the gold price in the metaverse, it would be worth a staggering 8610 million.

We really want to rob a bank too.

"Wow, I'm very happy with this price."

Arthur and Harley gave each other a high five, and then he said, "Please give 30% to Harley, 30% to me, and 40% to you and the boss."

"No, no, no, we only charge a 10% strategy service fee, it doesn't cost that much."

Qinghou waved her hand and said, "These are the hotel's rules, and you can't break them."

Arthur shrugged and said, "Okay, okay, let's do it this way. 45% goes to Harley, and 45% is mine. Please deduct my hotel expenses during this period."

I will store the gold in the hotel so I can use it to buy other products.

Harley waved her hand: "Me too."

"can."

With a 10% service fee, converted to the gold price in the metaverse, Wen Ming could earn $861 million.

The boss will definitely be very happy.

"We'll split the money in the purse after I convert it into gold."

Although his wallet wasn't huge, it still held over five million US dollars, and Arthur was already considering whether he should set up a clown base.

Why is there only a Bat Cave and no Clown Cave?
I want to build a haunted house.

No, I want to build a happy house.

Thinking of this, Arthur suddenly had a brilliant idea: "Should I invest in an amusement park? That way, I can bring joy to the children of Gotham! Then I can secretly hide a medical pod in a happy house, and whoever goes in can be cured by me!" "You're a genius!"

Harley exclaimed loudly, and the Queen also gave a thumbs up: "I think it's great."

Sometimes, things can be very simple.

While others are still figuring out how to circumvent the encirclement of those big capital firms, Arthur has already found the simplest way to realize Boss Wen's dream.

……

Wen Ming slept until 3 p.m. before fully waking up.

He pulled out his gun, went to the bathroom to wash away the blood, and carefully felt the powerful changes within his body.

Overnight, a surge of magical power was born within my body.

These magical powers continuously nourished every cell in his body, especially the brain cells, making Wen Ming feel energetic and refreshed.

His demeanor also gained a touch of mystery.

And these are not the most important enhancements.

"Zi-"

A streak of orange lightning appeared at Wen Ming's fingertip, and he smiled happily.

I have superpowers.

Moreover, it's Misaka Mikoto's signature superpower.

Code name: Railgun!
Last night, Jason was resurrected after being hit by Misaka Mikoto's Railgun, which gave him the superpowers of Misaka Mikoto, who already possessed lightning powers. This indirectly led to Wen Ming also receiving the same enhancement.

Wen Ming's superpowers are now on par with Misaka Mikoto's.

Go for it, Misaka Mikoto!

I look forward to you completing all your episodes so that my Railgun can get at least six upgrades.

By then, it's uncertain whether Aleister Crowley will be able to easily defeat him, but even someone as strong as Right Side Fire will probably be blasted to smithereens by his own shot!

It seems we won't have enough steel balls; we'll need to prepare some coins and steel nails to carry with us.

In addition, Wen Ming thought of a post on the forum where a netizen said that under the same mental strength, steel powder is far more lethal than steel ball, and it is also smaller, spreads more widely, and is more concealed.

Misaka Mikoto also has a special move: creating a thunder giant from dust and iron sand.

Because the dust and iron filings that make up its body rub against each other inside, constantly accumulating energy, and then by riding on this accumulated electricity, Misaka Mikoto's iron filings bullets will have enormous power, and even when attacking targets several kilometers away, the power will still be incredibly strong.

Thinking of this, Wen Ming felt he should fill a single capsule with dust and iron filings.

Unfortunately, there wasn't enough space in the hotel for me to practice this move.

Otherwise, you must try to see just how powerful the Thunder Giant really is.

Now we have to settle for second best and use electromagnetic force and iron sand to create an iron sand sword.

The high-speed vibrating iron shot can cut through objects like an electric chainsaw, and by manipulating the iron shot to fly up from all directions, it can be transformed into a storm of high-speed vibrating, slender assassination needles that can attack the opponent from all 360 degrees.

Scary to think about.

Thanks, Jason!

Keep it up! You've already achieved a pentakill. Looking forward to your ten-kill achievement and becoming a legend soon.

"Honey, where are you?"

Natasha's languid voice rang out, and Wen Ming, having dried himself off, went outside: "Are you hungry?"

"I'm hungry, I haven't eaten enough."

Natasha licked her lips and beckoned to Wen Ming with her finger: "I feel like you've gotten even more handsome, which makes me want to have another meal with you."

"I'll go get you something to eat. I also need to talk to Cassidy about something. I'll spend more time with you tonight."

Wen Ming walked over to Natasha, kissed her on the forehead, and then went out to the restaurant for lunch.

……

"Sorry to have kept you waiting so long. I was busy with work all night last night."

Back in his office, Wen Ming eagerly invited the evil trio to his office and poured them tea.

"I thought you spent the whole night exercising with someone last night."

Dean chewed his gum and made a joke.

Cassidy looked at Wen Ming with a serious expression: "Please take me to see Lilith's seal."

Wen Ming nodded, took out a brass key, and led the group back to Lilith's altar.

Cassidio carefully examined the altar, then said with a solemn expression, "There is no mistake, Lilith's true form is sealed here."

"Who is that Lilith walking outside?"

Wen Ming led the group back to the office and asked the question that concerned him most.

"Most likely, it's part of her soul."

Cassidio shook his head and said, "I haven't seen her in person, so I can't determine her current state. However, demons have many ways to secretly let part of their soul escape from the seal."

Furthermore, Lilith was the most crucial seal in the War of Apocalypse, so it's not surprising that her seal would weaken.

Cassidy's words instilled in Wen Ming a deep sense of apprehension about the future war of the Apocalypse.

We absolutely cannot allow Lucifer and Michael to fight each other in our hotel.

"So, what's the relationship between Supernatural and Diablo..."

"It is a universe, and Lilith did indeed steal the Worldstone from Heaven with the angel Inarius."

I do not know where the sanctuary they established is, because there is no record of it in Heaven, nor in the notes of the chroniclers.

However, the legends of the Nephalem have always circulated in Heaven, and we are also very afraid of the true awakening power of the Nephalem.

Cassidio, already melancholy, looked even more grim: "Once Lilith gains control of the Nephalem's power, Heaven will surely fall."

"Don't worry too much."

Wen Ming smiled and poured Cassidy a glass of water: "Anyway, your paradise will be rebuilt sooner or later."

Cassidy was even more frustrated.

After God disappeared, there was a war of demons outside Heaven and a civil war within it, with all the angels vying for control of the land.

After the War of Revelation, without the leadership of Michael, the civil war in Heaven reached its peak. Even a lowly scribe of God wanted to sit on God's throne and become God for a time.

The infighting in Heaven is far more exciting than the struggle for succession among the nine princes.

Therefore, Wen Ming was not wrong in saying that.

Let's wait for heaven to be rebuilt.

"Since Diablo exists, I'd appreciate it if you could help me collect some artifacts and treasures from this universe, such as the Horadric Cube, or Mara's Kaleidoscope. Any unique artifacts are fine; I'm not picky."

Wen Ming's outrageous demands left Dean and the other two speechless: "You said those are divine artifacts, very hard to find."

"Once I find them, I'll help you throw swimsuit parties, hotel parties, bar parties..."

Wen Ming was like a devil, constantly throwing out tempting offers to Dean. Dean only listened to three before he jumped up and said, "Sam, Ka, we've been here too long. We need to go back."

Sam looked at his brother helplessly. "For this little bit of money, you've already sold yourself?"
And me?

Cassidy also stood up: "I do need to go back. If you need my help in the future, just have Dean call me."

Wen Ming quickly stood up and thanked Cassidy: "If you have a girl you like, just tell me, and I'll help you pursue her."

In the later storylines of "Supernatural," Cassidy repeatedly lost his angelic powers and memories, formed families with ordinary humans, and played poker.

Cassidio's blissful expression at the time is a meme that many die-hard fans often use.

Therefore, even angels are not immune to the common occurrences.

"Me, and me!"

Sam finally couldn't hold back any longer.

Wen Ming patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, you'll definitely get a share of the party."

……

After seeing off the evil trio, Wen Ming welcomed Natasha, who had just woken up.

Natasha nestled lazily on the sofa, looking at Tony diagonally across from her: "Tony, thank you for making me smarter. I thought it was the new drug from the Red House."

"I never expected that we could improve at the same time like this."

Tony scoffed, "Right now, our Marvel Universe seems to be lagging far behind the DC Universe, both in terms of the number of characters and the pace of the story."

"Indeed, they have more people than we do. It seems we need to recruit more Avengers members as soon as possible."

Natasha thought for a moment and said, "We can't contact Thor right now, how about Hulk?"

"It will be 3 years before he is exposed to gamma rays."

Tony was getting impatient: "Why are the timelines of the people in DC so consistent, but none of mine are usable? Spider-Man hasn't even been reincarnated yet!"

Wen Ming laughed and said, "But you can make all the necessary preparations to deal with Thanos in advance. Hasn't Carol already made contact?"

Tony was even angrier: "Just the three of us?"

"Isn't the captain still here? Wasn't the captain already salvaged?"

Wen Ming also knew that the timeline of the Marvel Cinematic Universe was too vast, and it would be too difficult to bring so many people together at once like DC did. He could only try his best to appease them: "If all else fails, you can go and save Whiplash first, and end your second movie's storyline ahead of schedule."

Tony's expression became somewhat unnatural when Whiplash was mentioned.

That was a grudge from the previous generation, but it brought him a series of troubles.

Seeing that Tony was still a bit hesitant, Wen Ming stopped trying to persuade him: "Let's finish the Black Widow storyline first. For this attack on the Flying Fortress, I will send Yuan Ying, Yuan Bao, John, Selena, Qing Hou, and Ninth Brother."

I will also contact Ada Wong and Laura to work together.

When Tony heard that Wen Ming had sent out such a strong lineup, including even his personal bodyguards Qing Hou and Ninth Brother, he knew that Wen Ming was determined to get the Flying Fortress.

Natasha was mostly moved.

This man really takes his affairs very seriously.

They even used their own bodyguards on me.

I have to repay him properly; I'll give him a favor tonight.

"I promise I'll bring you back the complete flying fortress!"

Natasha walked up to Wenming, sat directly in his lap, and gave him a sweet kiss: "I also promise to bring my mother and my sister back to you."

Fake!

Tony was so angry when he saw this that he wanted to quit.

Not only is a beauty like Natasha throwing herself at him, but she's also planning to give her mother and sister to that bastard Wen Ming as employees. Who can she reason with?

Does this mean I'm just working for Wen Ming for nothing?

"Strike at midnight tonight, hopefully your lovers can all make it."

Unable to bear it any longer, Tony stood up and headed out. Wen Ming reminded him, "Should we use a powerful hypnotic bomb? That way, all the Black Widows you're after can be saved."

Tony's eyes lit up: "You have it?"

That bastard, he's usually unreliable, but this time he's surprisingly reliable.

However, why didn't I think of using a powerful hypnotic bomb before?
It must be because I was too busy to think of it.

"Of course, I'm ready."

Wen Ming smiled and said, "Of course I remember what you did."

Tony was immediately delighted: "Okay, I won't argue with you about the flying fortress."

Wen Ming smiled but said nothing.

Everyone who went this time was one of my people, so what makes you think you can compete with me?

However, Wen Mingcai would not provoke Tony.

Making money quietly is the best policy.

After Tony left, Wen Ming took out a multi-purpose capsule and placed it in Natasha's hand: "After making sure there's no one inside the flying fortress, use this to put it away."

This is Bulma's specially made version of the all-purpose capsule.

Natasha casually tossed the capsule aside: "What I need now are bullets."

"How much?"

"Hundreds of millions of rounds!"
