Wanjie Hotel: Iron Man is not allowed to charge

Chapter 172 The First Black Widow (7K views, please vote)
"what's the situation?"

Ninth Brother came over and took Thor's hammer from Perkins's hands. It turned out that Ninth Brother could easily lift this hammer, which was said to be impossible for anyone but Thor to lift.

"I'll try."

Empress Qing stretched out her hand, and Ninth Brother placed the hammer in her hand, resulting in the exact same thing.

"How is this going?"

Wen Ming couldn't help but take the hammer and examine it closely. This hammer was exactly the same as Thor's hammer in the movie, without any difference.

The question is, why is it that everyone can lift it?

If the Avengers found out, wouldn't they be furious?
They used every ounce of strength they had to lift the hammer.

After quickly calculating, Qinghou, who was connected to Haihou's new mainframe, replied: "There is a 67% chance that Odin's magical seal failed in the metaverse after crossing the spatial rift."

There is a 32% chance that the hotel's own array caused Odin's magic seal to fail.

There's a 1% chance it's because some of us possess a unique power that allows us to bypass Odin's magical seal.

Wen Ming tossed Thor's hammer around and suddenly poured his negligible amount of electricity into it.

"Zi-"

A powerful bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky and struck Wen Ming hard.

"boss!"

Qinghou, Perkins, and Ninth Brother looked at Wen Ming in shock. Yuan She suddenly rushed in front of Wen Ming and raised her hand to try to draw away the power of lightning, but Wen Ming waved his hand at them and then looked at his left hand with great joy.

The powerful lightning energy flowed continuously through every cell in his body, and Wen Ming sensed that the cells' ability to store lightning was increasing rapidly.

The upper limit of absorbed electrical energy has increased tenfold from 1kWh to 10kWh.

Previously, I would only use it to charge light bulbs.

It can now power all the appliances in the house.

"Cool!"

Even Wen Ming, who was usually calm and preferred to hide his strength, couldn't help but let out a satisfied cheer at this moment.

As Perkins and the others watched this scene, their awe of Wen Ming's mystery grew even stronger.

They all knew that Wen Ming was not just a simple hotel owner.

The earliest strength test was conducted with Perkins's assistance, and Qinghou also had some knowledge of Wenming's strength.

Although Ninth Brother, Yuan Ying, Yuan She, Yuan Bao, and Yuan Long were newly born, they all had a deep reverence for Wen Ming in their souls.

Now that everyone sees Wen Ming unharmed after being struck by lightning, it's clear that even if Wen Ming isn't as powerful as Thor, the master of Mjolnir, he's still far superior to ordinary superheroes.

"Qinghou, your speculation is very likely correct. The spatial rift and the hotel's magic array may have affected Odin's seal."

Wen Ming tossed Thor's hammer to Yuan Long: "Yuan Long, you guard this hammer. Don't let ordinary people see it or take it away. Wait for its owner to come and take it."

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency."

Yuan Long reached out and grabbed Thor's hammer, placed it under himself, and then squatted down.

Yuan Ying looked at Yuan Long eagerly: "Hey, I said, I haven't played with this hammer yet."

This is the most famous magical artifact; let me experience what it feels like to be struck by lightning.

"Don't try this lightly, especially you Transformers. That lightning can short-circuit you instantly."

Wen Ming did not explain why he was unharmed after being struck by the lightning, but instead warned them not to act recklessly.

Although he knew that these people, lacking the power of lightning, couldn't use Thor's Hammer to draw upon the power of nature's lightning, he was still afraid that Yuan Ying and his ilk might cause trouble.

"Please rest assured, no one can take Thor's hammer from me."

Yuanlong folded its wings, transforming into a giant statue, which infuriated Yuanying: "Can't I even hold it and play with it?"

The only response was silence.

This left Yuan Ying speechless: "Boss, look at them, they're all giving me the silent treatment, ignoring me completely."

"Then try to get them to talk more."

Wen Ming and Perkins walked towards the elevator together. Flora was almost finished exercising, and it was time to make her breakfast.

This morning, Qinghou and Yuanying will accompany Natasha to rescue her adoptive parents. Thinking of this, Wenming turned to Yuanlong and said, "Yuanlong, you'll be going on the rescue mission later too."

Yuan Ying, Yuan Bao, and Qing Hou cannot carry people, so Yuan Long is more convenient.

"As ordered."

Yuan Long stood up and saluted again, while Yuan Ying immediately said smugly, "As your senior, I need to remind you of some things to be aware of when going to other universes."

"A senior who was born three days earlier than me?" Yuan Long sneered.

"Even three days earlier is still earlier!"

Yuan Ying smugly hummed, "I've already been to two universes."

"They came back without firing a single shot?"

Yuan She, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up. Yuan Ying froze, looking at Yuan She in disbelief: "Yuan She, you spoke?"

"..."

The Yuan Snake fell silent again, which drove Yuan Ying crazy.

"Little snake, say a few more words, please? Your voice is so lovely, why don't you say more?"

"..."

"Little Snake, how about I talk to the boss and ask him to let you go this time?"

"..."

"Little Snake, shall we go get our engine oil changed together tonight? I know a brand of engine oil that's really good."

"..."

After busying himself with breakfast for a while in the morning, and seeing Index and Misaka Mikoto off, Wen Ming returned to his bedroom and rested for a few hours.

Although his body wasn't tired, Wenming habitually relaxed his mind to avoid being constantly tense.

When he got up, the beautiful Iron Lady and the young master of imitation were already in his office.

"Hello, Melina, Antonia."

"Hello, Wen Ming."

Melina and Antonia had already completed the beginner's PowerPoint presentation, so they knew exactly who the man in front of them was.

They were all somewhat reserved and respectful.

"I look forward to you, Qinghou, Bulma and the others working together to transform the flying fortress into a hotel exclusively for all of us time travelers to stay and do our activities."

Wen Ming stepped forward and gave Melina a warm hug, easing her anxiety.

This woman is much younger now than she was in "Black Widow," after all, that was 16 years later. Now, she has a face that is more fitting for someone in their prime—the female lead in "The Mummy" series.

Unfortunately, the female lead was changed in "The Mummy 3," which completely shattered Wen Ming's illusions about Evelyn.

In reality, she married 007, but who knows if James Bond will pull out a small pistol at her one day.

"It's my honor, and it's also something I'm good at."

Melina, the original Black Widow, underwent four Red Room training programs and is an excellent assassin and spy, proficient in hand-to-hand combat, shooting, and adept at carrying out various secret missions.

Her exceptional intelligence also made her the Red Room's most outstanding scientist, responsible for the development of the Flying Fortress and the Black Widow's brainwashing mechanism.

It can be said that Melina is much more well-rounded than Natasha, the second-generation Black Widow.

This woman, who is both righteous and wicked, offered her loyalty to Wen Ming without saying a word after watching the PPT and reviewing her own storyline: "I will fully cooperate with you in whatever way you want to transform the flying fortress."

"I'm having Qinghou use a supercomputer to analyze the blueprints of the flying fortress. Once the entire blueprint has been calculated and optimized, I'll let you participate in the design and modification process. Right now, you can work with Bulma to study the Namekian brainwave technology."

Bulma has essentially mastered this technology. You can combine it with your previous research projects and the learning device technology from the world of "A Certain Magical Index" to create an even more advanced brainwave device.

Wen Ming stated his requirements for Melina's recent work.

Upon hearing Wen Ming's vision, Melina immediately understood what he was planning: "Once this brainwave device is developed, I will never allow a second person to become its owner."

Wen Ming smiled happily.

It must be said that this Iron Lady is truly insightful and quick to understand.

Wen Ming looked at Antonia beside him and said, "I have another request."

"Antonia will be my third child."

Before Wen Ming could even finish his sentence, Melina had already pulled Antonia into her arms.

Wen Ming could no longer suppress his smile: "Natasha, I'm growing to like your mother more and more."

"She has even more impressive skills; you can have a more in-depth conversation with her later."

Natasha knelt down beside Antonia: "Antonia, I'm so sorry I couldn't rescue you sooner."

Natasha thought she wouldn't feel guilty for the rest of her life like in the movie for blowing up Antonia, but she never expected that Drekoff would be even more inhuman than she knew.

The only saving grace is that Antonia was not disfigured this time.

You should know that Antonia was a real beauty.

The actress who plays her has played Bond girls, was the lead actress in "Hitman 47," and is also a supermodel.

If such a beautiful woman were to be disfigured, Natasha couldn't even imagine how dark she would become.

"It's alright. You've saved me from that demon, and I've also been strengthened."

Despite her young age, Antonia was remarkably mature. She was not angry at the people in front of her for destroying everything her father had. On the contrary, she remained very calm.

He was calmer than a child.

Wen Ming also walked over to Antonia and squatted down beside her: "I can't guarantee that this place will be better than your original home, but I can guarantee that you will no longer suffer those inhuman experiments here."

I will arrange a good foster home for you in the Marvel Universe. You can freely choose to rest in the foster home or come to me every day, until you grow up and experience the storyline of "Thunderbolts," after which you can come to work for me.

Antonia shook her head and said, "I choose to go back and recharge for one minute every two days, and then slowly wait for my appearance in 'Thunder Force' to get my head blown off."

Upon hearing this, Wen Ming immediately understood that the little girl had completely lost trust in that cannibalistic universe. He stopped trying to persuade her and instead held Antonia tightly in his arms.

"Here you can meet friends around your age, such as Kara, Camille, Index, Misaka Mikoto, Son Goku, Bulma, Stiyl, and Yelena, and you can also play with the little Transformers."

What color would you like to decorate your room? Do you like pink?

"Will white be okay?" Antonia's face lit up with anticipation.

Ever since she was transformed into a master of imitation, she has never been able to properly enjoy the life of a princess.

Every day, I face a huge screen and constantly watch various battle videos.

She was almost sick of looking at it.

“Of course, Melina, I’m entrusting Antonia to you.”

Wen Ming winked at Melina, and the sharp-witted iron lady immediately bent down and hugged Antonia: "Come on, let's take a look at your new room together. Yelena, you come too. Do you two want to stay together?"

"Okay!"

Yelena followed along obediently. Before leaving, she waved to Wen Ming and said, "Even after 'Thunderbolts' ends, I want to be your employee forever."

"I am looking forward!"

After the others left, Wen Ming discussed the White House with Natasha before going downstairs to the server room.

"The tree diagram designer and the reactor are already operating at maximum power. AI Strawberry has also been connected to the supercomputer. Now, all the simulation work for the laboratory projects has been handed over to Xinhai for processing."

After introducing the work progress to Wen Ming, Qing Hou said, "I've decided to go to the Marvel Universe with Malena again right away and bring Dr. Erskine back. He'll be here sooner or later anyway."

"With the supercomputer and the research data on the super serum from the Red House, the super soldier serum can definitely be completed ahead of schedule, and we can then go to rescue Malena's husband without any worries." "Okay, Malena's husband can't be delayed any longer; we must rescue him quickly. You all set off in a bit, taking Yuan Long and Yuan Ying with you."

"it is good."

Qinghou responded and left, while Wenming entered Haihou's new system, reviewed Haihou's procedures, and then improved the entire scientific research system.

Over the past two days, Qinghou and Haihou have gone through all the technology trees. Howard, Maya, Rebecca, and Bulma have also sorted out the technology trees in their respective areas of expertise.

With the integration of technologies from multiple universes, such as Elysium and A Certain Magical Index, the Iron Hotel's technology tree is becoming increasingly vast. Many technologies are repetitive, while others can be mutually referenced, requiring a process of refinement and elimination.

When Ada Wong returned this time, she also brought over the yellow and blue herbs that Wen Mingxin had been longing for, further improving the biotechnology tree.

All the technology in the Red House has now been imported into the relevant categories by Qinghou.

This includes advanced technologies such as Black Widow serum research data, Widow Sting, and Flying Fortress super stealth technology, all of which have now become part of the Iron Hotel's technology tree.

The widow sting, a weapon capable of launching bullets, miniature bombs, tear gas balls, electric currents of up to 3 volts, and a "widow hook" wristband, has officially become standard issue for all combat staff at the Iron Hotel.

John, Perkins, Marcus, Rebecca, Max, and others have been strengthened once again.

The supercomputers, operating at full capacity, are rapidly analyzing data from numerous existing research projects. It is estimated that many long-delayed research projects will yield preliminary results in the coming days.

"Bulma, how have you been lately?"

Wen Ming was busy until after 7 p.m. before he stretched and went to Bulma's private laboratory.

Bulma was bent over studying the golden cudgel when she saw Wen Ming arrive. Without even looking up, she said, "What else can I do? Every day after school starts is a boring class. I'm even thinking of skipping a grade."

"Is your miniaturized watch finished?"

Wen Ming knew that Bulma was at her most irritable at this time, so he went straight to the point.

"A miniaturized watch? That little gadget has already been made."

Bulma casually tossed Wen Ming a pink watch: "It has two buttons and a spring. The buttons are for zooming in and out, and the spring is for adjusting the zoom level. You'll figure out how to use this little toy on your own after a little experimentation."

Wen Ming was pleasantly surprised to receive the shrinking watch, put it on his wrist, randomly selected a size ten and then clicked the shrink button.

whoosh-

Wen Ming felt a sudden dizziness, and then his vision began to expand.

"Haha, I caught you!"

Bulma, who had just been busy with work, suddenly turned around and grabbed Wen Ming, who had shrunk to 18.5cm.

Wen Ming stared in astonishment at the "giant" Bulma before him, magnified—or rather, shrunk down—the intense sense of displacement was quite peculiar.

I felt like I had suddenly arrived in the land of giants.

"Have you been bewitched by those old women these past few days? You haven't come to see me at all."

Bulma chuckled and tossed Wen Ming into her ditch: "Stay here obediently. After I finish this little bit of work, I'll take you back to the room to play together."

Wen Ming fell into the fragrant ravine, feeling both amused and exasperated. He wanted to press the zoom button, but was afraid of tearing Bulma's clothes, so he could only quietly hold onto Bulma's clothes and watch her study the golden cudgel.

However, as she walked back and forth, Wen Ming accidentally slipped and fell into the abyss.

Bulma, who was doing her research, suddenly stiffened. Her face flushed, she glanced at her ninth brother at the door and said, "Um, I'm going back to my room."

"Okay, is the boss going too?"

"Yes, I need to have a good talk with him about the progress of the research on the Golden Cudgel."

Ninth Brother smiled and nodded, saying, "Call me if you need anything."

Bulma hurriedly walked out, only to bump into Goku who was coming from the opposite direction: "Bulma, have you seen Wenming?"

"Why are you looking for him?"

Bulma walked out somewhat hastily, but Goku followed her like a shadow: "I want to try the gravity chamber with him and Master John."

“Wen Ming isn’t a soldier, you and John go.”

Okay, stop bothering me, I'm in a hurry.

Bulma casually dismissed Goku, telling him and Johan to go play in the newly installed gravity chamber.

Little Wukong scratched his head: "Wen Ming isn't powerful? Okay, but why do you smell like Wen Ming?"

Bulma's face flushed red upon hearing this: "Of course! We were just together. You should hurry up and train. You have so many enemies to fight in the future, you don't have time to chat here."

"That's right, I'm going to defeat Piccolo Daimaō! I'm going to train now!"

Upon hearing the word "enemy," Little Goku immediately roared and charged towards the gravity chamber on the second basement level.

Bulma breathed a sigh of relief and was about to enter the elevator when she saw Midnight the cat walking out of it.

"Meow--"

Upon seeing Bulma, Midnight greeted her. Bulma hurriedly stepped into the elevator, waving to Midnight as she pressed the elevator door button.

As a result, Midnight suddenly jumped in and bounced right into Bulma's arms.

"What do you want to do?"

Bulma nearly peed her pants in fright: "Midnight, I have something urgent to attend to."

Midnight looked at her suspiciously, and only after confirming that she was in a hurry did she jump down from Bulma's arms, and then strolled out on her own after the elevator doors opened.

Bulma breathed a sigh of relief and rushed into her room, whereupon the "Do Not Disturb" light immediately turned on.

"I'll drown you! You big bad guy!"

……

At 10 p.m. that night, Wen Ming met the legendary Professor Erskine in his office.

Professor Erskine, with his full head of white hair, spoke slowly but with great emotion: "I just tried your computer, and it's so advanced. What used to take me a month to calculate can now be done in just a few seconds."

Although I knew that Malena came from the future, I never imagined that the technology of the future would have reached such an advanced level.

With such a powerful computer, my Super Soldier Serum can complete the final calculations in three days at most.

"I've heard that the Super Soldier Serum has a flaw: it amplifies a person's emotions infinitely, making the bad worse and the good better?"

Seeing that Professor Erskine was talking about his serum, Wen Ming had no choice but to continue the conversation by asking, "Can this defect be overcome?"

"of course can."

Professor Erskine chuckled, “This problem might have been a bit troublesome before I met you, but it’s easy to solve now.”

Wen Ming looked at Erskine with a puzzled expression, about to ask why, when a possibility suddenly occurred to him: "Medical pod!"

"Not bad!"

Professor Erskine explained: "First, I need to clarify that the reason Schmidt turned into the Red Skull was not because his evil emotions were amplified infinitely, but because he was using a half-finished product. I was not prepared to give him the finished product at the time."

Secondly, what made him more evil was not the serum itself, but the powerful force it brought him, which inflated his ambition. That's why I later advocated using the serum on good people.

Power must be in the hands of those who can control their own emotions.

Finally, human emotions are actually controlled by the brain, especially by its multiple working areas and neurotransmitter systems.

Structures such as the amygdala, prefrontal cortex, hypothalamus, and hippocampus directly regulate the generation, expression, and regulation of emotions through the transmission of neural signals and the secretion of chemical substances.

In addition, the hormonal system and other organs in the body can also indirectly affect emotional state through other mechanisms.

With the medical pod, all physiological diseases can be treated at the genetic level, which means that a person's emotions can be regulated at the physiological level, making them less prone to negative emotions.

However, many bad people are not inherently bad, but rather their character is cultivated and shaped by their environment.

In other words, even if a healthy, emotionally normal person were to use my super-soldier serum to become stronger through a medical pod, if their nature is evil, the result would simply be the creation of an even more powerful villain.

Upon hearing this, Wen Ming understood completely.

It's like the clown; once the physical problems are solved, committing crimes again becomes a psychological issue.

The idea that bad guys who use the Super Soldier Serum will turn into Red Skull is just a myth.

"It's an honor to chat with an expert like you, and I welcome you to join my Iron Hotel."

Wen Ming stood up and hugged Professor Erskine. Professor Erskine excitedly said, "I should thank you. You not only saved my life, but also gave me a brighter future."

After reviewing the hotel's biological research data and the Mayan Extremis virus research data, I believe I can develop a second-generation super soldier serum based on this one, combined with the Mayan Extremis virus.

"I am looking forward!"

Wen Ming looked at the excited Maya beside him: "With Professor Erskine's help, I feel that your Extremis virus is no longer a problem."

"Of course! Professor Erskine is my idol!"

Maya excitedly pulled Professor Erskine towards the door: "Let's not waste time here. We see Boss Wen every day, but we can't delay our Extremis virus."

"Rebecca, have Charon arrange a room for Professor Erskine."

"Do not worry!"

Seeing the three leave, Wen Ming looked at the pale-faced Queen Qing and asked, "Where's Malena? Did something happen to her?"

Qinghou nodded and said, "Her husband, in just a few short days, somehow got brainwashed by the Red Skull and became a Hydra."

When we went to rescue him, he not only refused to come with us, but instead started shooting wildly at Malena, forcing her to reveal her secret.

Malena was shot three times, and we had no choice but to take her away. However, Red Skull had already laid an ambush outside the base with tanks and started firing at us.

We escaped back, but her husband tragically died in the shelling.

"what?"

Wen Ming jumped to his feet and strode towards the private elevator: "Have you used the emergency spray?"

"Rebecca performed surgery on her, removed the bullet, and used emergency spray and medical pods. She's basically fine now and just needs to rest."

Before the elevator doors closed, Qinghou reminded her, "The key issue right now isn't her gunshot wound."

"No one is allowed to disturb me tonight!"

Wen Ming closed the elevator door, waited anxiously for the elevator to arrive at the second floor, then rushed out and quickly arrived at Malena's room door. He took out the universal card and swiped it to open her room.

Upon entering the room, Malena lay pale on the edge of the bed, staring blankly out the window.

My pillow was already soaked with tears.

When she noticed Wen Ming walking in, Malena didn't react at first, but then she tried to sit up.

Wen Ming quickly stepped forward to help her up: "Don't get up."

"I'm sorry, boss, I've caused you trouble again."

Malena fought back tears, intending to apologize, but after saying only one sentence, she burst into tears: "Boss, he shot me! He shot me three times!"

Wen Ming hugged Sicilian Flower tightly: "He has been brainwashed by the Red Skull, he loves you."

"He...he's dead..."

Malena completely broke down: "Boss, he's dead."

Wen Ming gently patted Malena's back, trying to soothe her: "You still have me, and your colleagues at the hotel. We will always be your family."

Malena looked up at Wen Ming, her eyes filled with helplessness and sorrow: "Boss, you're the only person I can rely on."

Wen Ming gently stroked her long hair and said tenderly, "I will always be your support."

Moonlight streamed through the arched window, bathing the two of them.

Marlena nestled in Wenming's arms, gazing at the bright moonlight. Her emotions gradually calmed down, and she drifted off to sleep.

At the same time, a handsome man arrived at the hotel entrance.

"Excuse me, how do I get to your rooftop? I left something on your rooftop."
