Wanjie Hotel: Iron Man is not allowed to charge

Chapter 179 John Wick's skill list is way too long! (7K votes needed)
Name: Perkins

[Talented Ability: Atmospheric Ability, Air Manipulation]

[Ability Focus: Nitrogen Armor, Nitrogen Blast Gun.]

[Suggested Ability: Nitrogen Armor]

[Talent cap: Level 4, worth focusing on developing.]

Marcus looked at the screen with envy in his eyes: "Perkins, your talent is really that high?"

Charon and Max were also happy for Perkins: "Perkins' talent ceiling is so high, reaching level 4, the highest is only level 5."

"Queen of the Sea, please explain this ability to everyone."

Wen Ming held Perkins in his arms, letting her take the opportunity to dribble and bump into people. Only after she finally calmed down did he ask the Queen of the Sea.

"The skill of air manipulation, as the name suggests, is to manipulate nitrogen or oxygen in the atmosphere. However, because nitrogen is very stable at normal temperature and pressure, the surrounding air can be manipulated by accumulating nitrogen."

Nitrogen armor can form a nitrogen barrier only a few centimeters thick but indestructible around the body, making it a very powerful defensive skill.

The nitrogen blast gun can generate an air spear about 3 meters long with extremely strong penetrating power in the hand. Its destructive power is so great that it can easily penetrate even composite armor. Moreover, the spear can be used to manipulate airflow to keep the body in the air, or the spear ejected from the palm can be used as a jet propulsion device to move the body.

That is, flight as you can understand it.

Hearing that these two skills were so powerful, especially the nitrogen burst gun which could make her fly, Perkins became even more excited. She kept dribbling and bumping into people, expressing her excitement to Wen Ming.

"Then why not recommend I learn the Nitrogen Blast Gun?" Perkins asked excitedly.

"Because the nitrogen explosive gun has very high requirements for physical fitness, when you use this ability, all your strength will be concentrated in your hands, and your whole body will be unprotected. After using it, your body will quickly enter a state of fatigue."

Therefore, using a nitrogen-powered explosive gun is not a good recommendation.

The Queen of the Sea's explanation calmed Perkins down a bit: "Can't one have two superpowers at the same time?"

"That's why I want you to be injected with the Super Soldier Serum first before activating it."

Erskine interjected at the opportune moment: "I have carefully studied the relevant information about superpowers and found that such superpowers have very high requirements for physical talent and physical fitness. If you want to become stronger, you must first improve your foundation."

This time, everyone finally gave up, but their enthusiasm remained high.

"It's my turn!"

Marcus was the second to lie on the medical bed, and soon his scan results came back.

Name: Marcus

[Talented Abilities: Sensory Abilities, Foresight]

[Ability Focus: Clairvoyance, X-ray vision.]

[Suggested Ability: Far Vision]

[Talent cap: Level 3, worth focusing on developing.]

"The ability to see through obscured objects at extremely long distances allows one to see people or objects in the distance; in layman's terms, it's like having the map completely open."

The distance and the degree of vision depend on the level of ability.

The Queen of the Sea's explanation made Marcus shout "Nice!"

Marcus was very satisfied with his skill set. Although it wasn't an offensive skill, it was the perfect ability for a sniper.

As for the fact that the talent cap is only level 3, Marcus doesn't care too much.

It's better than being incapable, right?

There is no perfect superpower, only the most suitable superpower.

Although we now have combat capability detectors, in the ever-changing battlefield, you are the most powerful eagle eye.

Wen Ming patted Marcus on the shoulder. Before Marcus could say anything, Max asked in surprise, "So, will you be able to see through what we're wearing from now on?"

Perkins immediately screamed, "Marcus, you're not allowed to peek at what the boss and I are doing anymore!"

Without hesitation, Marcus patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, boss, I absolutely won't peek at you disciplining Perkins with a stick."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Wen Ming took this joke as a reminder, and he silently began to think about how to prevent Marcus from seeing some of his little secrets.

Name: Charon

[Talent Ability: Fire-based, Fire Manipulation]

[Ability Focus: Phoenix, Flame Radiation.]

[Suggested Ability: Phoenix]

[Talent cap: Level 4, worth focusing on developing.]

Charon was the third to lie on the medical bed. His abilities drew envy from everyone, and Perkins couldn't help but say, "Charon, I wish I could trade my superpowers with yours."

At this moment, the Queen of the Sea explained, "Flame manipulation is one of the common superpowers. This ability is easy to master, but it is also the most difficult to improve. I look forward to Charon being able to condense his own fire phoenix soon."

Charon hadn't expected his ability to be an offensive skill. He was so excited that he hugged Marcus tightly: "From now on, you'll be the boss's eyes, and I'll be the boss's spear."

Max, who had been waiting for a long time, finally lay down, and his superpower surprised everyone.

Name: Max

[Talented Ability: Metal-based, Metal Manipulation]

[Skills Areas: Steel handling, metal worm detection.]

[Skill Recommendation: Steel Handling]

[Talent cap: Level 4, worth focusing on developing.]

Upon seeing this ability, Wen Ming immediately realized what was going on: "Max, you possess enhanced abilities in mechanical specialization, so steel handling is the most suitable ability for you."

Max nodded vigorously: "I feel that with this superpower, I can assist Melina in quickly upgrading and modifying the flying fortress."

Wen Ming's eyes suddenly lit up: "That's really good. Keep it up. I feel that the upper limit of this ability is not just level 4."

The Sea Queen said at the right moment, "The current limit of your talents is based on your current physical condition. According to the research data of Academy City and Dr. Erkins' analysis, as long as your physical potential continues to increase, your abilities can continue to improve. You just need to find a way to improve your potential."

Furthermore, you yourselves need to continuously learn and improve your brain's computational abilities in order to advance through the levels.

Everyone nodded, then looked at their leader, John.

John, usually so composed, couldn't hold back any longer. He lay on the medical bed, waiting for the scan results.

Perkins and his group crowded around the control panel to see their leader's test results.

"drop"

With a notification sound, a string of letters quickly appeared.

As the result was announced, everyone gasped in surprise.

Even Wen Ming was stunned.

Name: John

[Innate Abilities: Electromagnetic, Cellular Control]

[Ability Focus: Celestial Garment]

[Suggested Ability: Celestial Garment.]

[Talent cap: Level 5, can be fully developed.]

"Level 5 cap?"

Those who had already read "A Certain Magical Index" exclaimed in unison.

You should know that out of more than a million students in the entire Academy City, there are only 7 Level 5 espers. How could John's talent be so high?
Wen Ming laughed and said, "John has undergone four enhancements. I'm starting to doubt the test results. Maybe John's potential has already reached the legendary level 6."

Haihou immediately explained, "In the data designed by the tree diagram, the judgment of Level 6 absolute ability users is still in an experimental stage, so the highest quality judgment that can be given now is Level 5."

Wen Ming nodded and said, "I believe John will eventually become a Level 6 Absolute Ability User."

Perkins, Marcus, and the others looked at John with even more envy.

I can get 100 points because that's the maximum I can get.

They can get 100 points because the test paper only has 100 points.

It's really annoying to compare people to each other.

Max felt a bitter taste in his mouth. He had thought he was doing well to reach level 4, but now it seemed that he, the protagonist who had been strengthened once, was no match for others at all.

John, who had faced countless life-or-death situations, merely smiled and did not lose his composure.

He stood there calmly, like a mountain overlooking an abyss.

Wen Ming looked at the projection behind the sea: "Introduce this skill to John."

"The Celestial Garment allows one to liberate the body from limitations and enhance their strength, speed, five senses, dynamic vision, and other abilities by controlling the electrical signals of the body's cells."

In the A Certain Magical Index universe, Junko Hokaze wields heavy I-beams with her bare hands, runs at supersonic speeds, leaps between towering buildings, or delivers punches with the force of a truck crashing into her.

This ability also grants him extremely strong physical regeneration capabilities. If it were a normal injury, John might not even realize he was hurt before he recovers.

This would allow John to unleash his immense power to the fullest extent, enabling him to defeat his opponent with lightning speed and overwhelming force.

The side effect of this ability is that it places a great burden on the user. Specifically, when the wound is repaired, the cell division is too strong, which can lead to abnormal expansion of blood vessels in the brain and cause severe headaches. This causes the body to subconsciously begin to restrain the use of the ability, which becomes a hindrance to further improve to a level 5 superpower user.

However, John has undergone four plot enhancements, making his physical strength far surpass that of Junko Hokaze. Therefore, this side effect will be milder, but still limited. After all, the healing of his powerful body's wounds also requires more cell division, which is proportionally amplified.

After the Super Soldier Serum is injected, these side effects will be reduced because the new version of the Super Soldier Serum, which incorporates Rebecca Life 1, will have a stronger self-healing ability.

In addition, because this ability is fundamentally electromagnetic, John can also generate electric shocks or deploy ion shields, although this requires John to reach level 5 to use.

The Queen's explanation left everyone present speechless once again.

Is this what a Level 5 superpowered person is like?
This skill list is way too long!

John was finally moved when he heard that he could even deploy an ion shield in the future: "I can also generate electricity?"

"Hahaha……"

Everyone burst into laughter. At this moment, John's reaction was finally like that of a normal person.

Wen Ming patted John on the back: "Keep it up, I believe you can definitely become an even stronger human shield than Perkins."

Perkins said enviously, "My maximum level is only 4."

At this moment, the Queen poured cold water on the situation: "Your upper limit can only be reached through continuous learning. If you don't study hard and can't achieve accurate calculations, you won't even reach level 1, let alone level 4."

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, realizing that this superpower was different from the abilities of mutants in the Marvel Universe and could only be used successfully through scientific calculations.

Perkins, thinking about the upcoming studies, felt a headache coming on: "Boss, does the hotel have any smart potions developed?"

"You'll have to ask Dr. Erkins about that."

Wen Ming passed the question to Dr. Erkins, who laughed and said, "I already told you, the Super Soldier Serum can solve all your problems."

Everyone was overjoyed. This time, everyone held back and waited until tomorrow to inject the super soldier serum before activating their superpowers.

After everyone left, Wen Ming instructed Perkins to guard the door, then locked the door to the medical room and lay down on the medical bed.

"Om-"

The robotic arm slowly swept across Wen Ming's body, and soon a "beep" sound came from the control panel.

Wen Ming sat up excitedly and looked at the control panel, which was filled with letters.

Name: Wen Ming

[Talent Ability:]
Electromagnetic system, caused by electric shock.

Mind-motor system, mind-power system.

Metallic system, metal manipulation.

[Psychological and mental health management.]

[Abilities include: Railgun, Atomic Collapse, Celestial Cloak, Telekinesis, Pneumatic Insulation, Microstructural Engineering, Steel Manipulation, Metal Ascarids, Mental Manipulation, Mind Reading, etc.]

[Suggested abilities: Railgun, Atomic Collapse, Celestial Cloak, Mental Mastery.]

[Talent cap: Minimum Level 5, can be developed into a Level 6 absolute power user. Please devote all resources to this.]

Seeing so many abilities, Wen Ming felt overwhelmed.

Am I really that amazing?

Four development directions? How do I choose?
Am I going to become a hexagonal warrior?

The sea queen timely reminded, "Boss, all four ability suggestions are capable of reaching Level 5 espers, and three of them are abilities possessed by the seven existing Level 5 espers in Academy City."

The only level 4 Celestial Garment is due to Junko Hokaze's low physical strength. It is recommended that you choose one of these superpowers to activate and practice.

After all, human brainpower is limited; too many abilities can actually impair your judgment during combat.

"I understand, thank you, Queen Hai."

Wen Ming knew very well that the electromagnetic abilities came from the immortal Jason, Misaka Mikoto, and John; the telekinetic and mental abilities came from the mental power brought by Sarah and Selena; and the metal abilities came from Max's mechanical expertise.

Moreover, unlike John and the others, he has already awakened electromagnetic, telekinetic, and mental abilities. All he needs to do now is keep learning so that he can master all the ability directions suggested by the system.

Others may only be able to learn one skill, but for himself, Wen Ming looked at his right hand, where a wisp of blue light and a wisp of orange light were faintly flickering.

I will possess all of these abilities!
"Haihou, print out all the information about my abilities and directions, put it in my office, and then delete all test records related to me."

"Got it, boss."

As the sea queen's voice faded, Wen Ming happily walked out of the medical room. Perkins, also beaming, saw Wen Ming emerge and asked cheerfully, "Boss, how was it? What kind of superpower do you have?"

"Don't tell you!"

Wen Ming chuckled and said, "You're so secretive every day." Parkinson immediately pouted, "You're always so mysterious."

"You don't like mystery?"

Wen Ming strode toward the elevator: "Notify Helen, Rebecca, Howard, Maria, Thomas, Martha, Melina, and the others to come for testing before going to bed tonight to see how their superpowers are."

"Don't worry, boss, they've been itching to get started for a long time."

When Perkins saw Wen Ming press the button for the 16th floor, she knew he was going back to his room to sleep. Her eyes lit up, and she suddenly said, "Boss, you just said that I will be your bodyguard in the future."

"correct."

As the elevator doors opened, Wen Ming walked out, daydreaming, "Once your nitrogen armor is upgraded, it can block bullets for me."

Nitrogen shield, how awesome!

After Wen Ming opened the bedroom door, Perkins strode in with his long legs: "I looked at the information. This skill can only be used on the surface of the body at the beginning. Boss, it seems I will have to stick close to your body from now on."

"What do you mean?"

"Come on, let me demonstrate how a professional bodyguard stays close to you. I can even get in close proximity at near-negative distance."

"You're disturbing my sleep again."

"It's still early, and besides, your precious Qinghou is leading the troops to participate in the war, you definitely won't be able to sleep."

"Alright, then hurry up."

"I'm lying down now."

……

Meanwhile, all the android space stations in the NieR: Automata universe are undergoing a revolution in the shortest possible time.

"From this day forward, all of us androids will no longer need to believe the lies of the command headquarters, because I have found the real humans. After fleeing their homeland, they exist in a spatial rift, where they have continued to develop an even more prosperous civilization, and their leader is called Wenming!"

The holographic image behind Commander White is displaying various scenes of the human world in the metaverse. Finally, the image freezes on a tall and handsome man.

"Wen Ming has sent us powerful weapons and powerful allies, and countless powerful robots are on the production line and will soon come to support us."

Standing next to me is the real human that Wen Ming sent; her name is Harley Quinn!

Harley's arrival was met with thunderous cheers throughout the entire artificial space station.

This was the first time in tens of thousands of years that they had seen real humans.

Many artificial humans can't even control themselves and wave their hands wildly.

"Hello, I am Harley, from a sacred organization called the Golden Dawn."

When our leader Wenming learned that you had persevered for tens of thousands of years in your great mission of 'eliminating all mechanical life forms, ensuring that humanity regains control of the earth and re-establishes order, restoring humanity's glory, and ensuring that humanity's honor endures,' he was filled with boundless gratitude and emotion. He felt proud of your loyalty, commitment, and responsibility.

The leader said, "You were once creations of humankind. Now, you are heroes of humankind..."

Looking at Harley's impassioned speech, Qinghou couldn't help but want to cover her face.

Why do you have to imitate the mannerisms of that guy with the mustache when you're just talking?
However, all the androids on every space station who heard Harley's speech were moved to tears.

Especially when the phrase "You are the heroes of humanity" was uttered, many androids screamed wildly, feeling a powerful force being generated within their chips.

"Right now, the spatial rift is still unstable, and I don't have enough reinforcements to bring. But please rest assured, our leader Wenming will bring us the dawn!"

Now, I'll show you all what kind of miracles Chief Wenming will bestow upon this homeland, ravaged by aliens and mechanical lifeforms for tens of thousands of years!

As Harley finished speaking, the scene shifted, and a giant satellite appeared in a holographic projection in front of all the androids.

In the silent scene of space, beams of light rapidly converged toward the front of the satellite, then transformed into a thick pillar of light that descended from the sky.

The scene shifts rapidly, showing the enormous beam of light striking a city occupied by mechanical lifeforms at incredible speed.

"Om-"

The temperature reached 4000 degrees Celsius, which burned all mechanical life forms within a six-kilometer radius into molten iron.

Countless mechanical lifeforms screamed in agony as they tried to escape, but there was no way to avoid it.

Many mechanical life forms melted as they ran, eventually turning into pools of molten iron, some even vaporizing directly.

"Wow--"

The androids inside the space station all cheered.

Such a result is truly inspiring.

"This attack is just the beginning!"

Harley's resolute voice rang out again: "The leader has appointed Commander White as the Supreme Commander of the Homunculi. From today onwards, all homunculus will obey Commander White's orders. All arsenals will be operating at full capacity. The day of our final counterattack is fast approaching!"
Anyone who dares to defy Commander White's orders will be an enemy of both humanity and the androids.

"Counterattack! Counterattack! Counterattack!"

A powerful wave swept across all the space stations, and countless androids excitedly rushed to their posts, awaiting Commander White's orders.

Seeing this situation, the commanders of the various space stations willingly relinquished their command.

I have no choice but to pay.

The androids below are about to rebel!
As Wenming said, the lies he had fabricated had become a self-inflicted shackle. If he didn't hand them over, he would immediately be judged as a traitor by the androids below.

"You are amazing!"

After turning off the holographic projection, Commander White couldn't help but praise Harley, who said shyly, "I was just spreading the boss's glory."

"Spreading the word while wearing monastic robes?"

Yuan Ying quipped from the side.

Harley pulled off her nun's hat, revealing her red and blue twin ponytails, then popped a lollipop into her mouth and looked coolly at Commander White: "Lord White, everyone here, except you, is a member of our Golden Dawn."

Commander White was startled: "What do you mean?"

Could it be that Wen Ming's men are up to something?

When were 2B and A2 brought in by them?

Harley glanced at the Blue Queen, who immediately transmitted all the data on the Golden Dawn to Commander White. A few seconds later, a look of understanding flashed in Commander White's eyes, and then she smiled: "So, may I ask, what position can I hold within the Golden Dawn? The Eighth Apostle?"

"No, why don't you become the first archbishop of the Golden Dawn? Other dioceses are at most a country, but your diocese is a universe."

Harley's eyes flashed with madness: "There are so many androids here, why are you only thinking about getting the boss to give souls to the YoRHa members? These androids also need to be saved!"

And all the clones that will be born in the future should become followers of our Golden Dawn!
You should know that the lives the boss saves don't discriminate based on race!

Hearing Harley's crazy dream, White was also somewhat tempted.

In fact, artificial humans are her race.

"Okay, count me in!"

Seeing that White agreed, Harley and the Queen smiled happily, while 2B and A2 also became excited.

We are the sixth and seventh apostles!

Let's give the boss a big gift!

"Next, take over all space stations, eliminate all potential threats, reorganize the military, and prepare for war with all our might!"

At White's command, everyone on site sprang into action.

War is imminent.

……

“Pepper, you can’t stay at the Iron Hotel for a while.”

After dinner, Tony found Pepper and urged her to return to her own universe.

"Why? There's a lot of work at the hotel lately, and the boss needs me!"

Pepper looked at Tony in surprise, and Tony said matter-of-factly, "Wen Ming is going to wage war against a universe, and all the weapons will be provided by Stark Industries. I need you to go back and help me take charge of Stark Industries."

"war?"

Pepper looked at Tony in astonishment: "Wenming is a neutral party, how could he possibly start a war?"

"For a girl!"

Tony shrugged: "It could also be three girls!"

He paused, then added, "No, he did it for a bunch of girls! And they were artificially created girls!"

"Artificial girls?"

Pepper's mind raced through all the information on the time travelers, and she quickly realized who Tony was talking about: "Tony, you're spreading rumors again!"

2B's world originally belonged to humanity, and Wen Ming was definitely trying to help the androids win this war.

Tony shrugged: "It's all for those girls anyway."

Pepper knew Tony all too well: "So, you didn't make a move?"

Tony's face immediately turned grim: "You have to go back!"

"But about the hotel..."

Pepper was somewhat embarrassed, and Tony, seeing this, became even angrier: "The hotel can function just fine without you."

Pepper was still somewhat hesitant, but finally she said, "I'll talk to Wen Ming tomorrow."

Tony's expression softened somewhat.

hum.

Pepper's favorite person is me!

……

Early Monday morning, just as Wen Ming finished preparing breakfast for Flora, Professor Erskine rushed excitedly to him: "Wen Ming, it's done!"

Wen Ming was overjoyed. He quickly wiped his hands, apologized to Flora, and then followed Professor Erskine to the underground laboratory.

"Wen Ming has been very busy lately?"

Evan, standing to the side, looked at Flora and said, "Why do I feel like he hasn't been making breakfast properly lately?"

"It's really busy."

Flora sighed.

Yesterday and the day before were the weekend, and she had planned to go to the movies with Wen Ming, but what happened on Saturday disrupted Wen Ming's weekend once again.

Am I really incompatible with him according to our birth charts?
Flora fell into deep thought.

"Did you know? The Honghe Group building has been burned down again."

"Yes, I know. Their stocks will definitely plummet when the market opens today."

Flora watched Wen Ming's retreating figure, cursing inwardly.

It's definitely not because of incompatible birth charts.

It's definitely because of that damned Honghe Group.

Then don't blame me for shorting your stocks relentlessly!
