Wanjie Hotel: Iron Man is not allowed to charge

Chapter 181 The Five Super-Powerful Second-Generation Assassins of the Iron Hotel (7K views, please vote)
Thor stubbornly clung to the side and drank some wine. Wenming didn't mind at all. Instead, he instructed Charon to book a room for him and made it clear that all the bills had been put on the tab.

Thor didn't care about any of that. He was completely drunk. He already owed a million dollars, so he didn't care about the room fee. He happily fell into a deep sleep in the king-size bed.

"Boss, I'm sorry, Tony needs me to go back and keep an eye on Stark Industries."

After learning that Wen Ming finally had some free time, Pepper went straight to the bar.

“It’s alright. Stark Industries is your stage, not a small hotel like this.”

Wen Ming was not surprised by Pepper's resignation.

Tony was constantly thinking about getting Pepper back, afraid that he might end up in bed with her.

Previously, the problem stemmed from a shortage of manpower, making it impossible to manage the workload. Now, Wen Ming is no longer worried about this issue.

"You're about to start a war, the hotel is so busy, and there are so many time travelers, I'm worried..."

Pepper hesitated, worried that Wen Ming was exhausted.

Wen Ming's hard work was evident to all the time travelers in the hotel.

Wen Ming smiled and said thank you, then called over Thomas Wayne, who was drinking with Martha at the next table: "Thomas, how have you been lately?"

Thomas laughed and said, "It's great, except for being a little free every day."

“Perfect timing. Pepper needs to go back to her own universe. How about you take over from her and help me manage the hotel?”

Wen Ming extended a sincere invitation, which surprised Thomas, but he readily nodded and said, "It would be my honor."

Pepper breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wen Ming hand over his work to Thomas.

Thomas had no problem managing the huge Wayne Group before, so managing a five-star hotel would naturally be no problem for him either.

"Have you decided what you want Martha to do?"

Wen Ming casually asked Martha for her thoughts, and Thomas waved to Martha, who was standing to the side: "Martha, Wen Ming asked me to replace Pepper as the general manager of the hotel, and I wanted to ask you what you think about the job."

Martha smiled excitedly: "Boss, I've thought about it for a long time, and I feel like I can help out in the housekeeping department. I used to work as a social worker for a long time, so I know a lot about cleaning staff."

"Well then, welcome to both of you as official hotel employees."

Wen Ming raised his glass to Thomas and Martha, who happily clinked glasses with him. Thomas was about to say something more when Martha nudged him with her elbow: "Shouldn't you go and hand over your work to Pepper?"

Thomas glanced at Peggy Carter beside Wen Ming and immediately understood his wife's meaning. He smiled and said to Pepper, "Pepper, shall we have a drink together?"

……

That night, Wen Ming and Captain Carter had an in-depth conversation. The two discussed Peggy's enhanced body, Peggy's upcoming assistance to Wen Ming in obtaining the Tesseract, and how to defeat Red Skull until 2:30 a.m.

Wen Ming only returned to his room after chatting with Captain Carter until he was satisfied.

As soon as he got back into the house, he saw his precious child: "How are you? You must be exhausted."

"Yes, I'm so tired. Boss, please give me a full body massage."

Qinghou jumped into Wenming's arms, acting coquettishly.

Wen Ming carried her to the bed and gently patted her back: "Do you want to rest for a while?"

"The boss can just hold me."

Qinghou rested her face against Wenming's chest, then rubbed against him happily. Satisfied, she began to describe the battle situation to Wenming.

"Boss, we have taken over all the space stations, and White has officially become the Commander-in-Chief of the Androids."

The time flow rate there is 1:3, so in these three days, Altair 2 launched a full-power attack every hour, attacking the ground nearly 40 times, completely destroying a large number of the mechanical lifeform's logistics bases and strategic targets.

The second and third Altair 2 satellites are already in full swing of production and assembly and will be online soon.

The mechanical lifeforms launched a total of ten counterattacks against Altair 2, but because we had set up defenses early on, none of these mechanical lifeforms returned.

During my contact with the machine lifeforms, I captured three of them and cracked their main program. I'm confident that I can work with Bulma and Mera to design a super virus targeting the machine lifeforms, thus plunging them into fighting each other..."

Hearing Qinghou's words, Wenming smiled happily: "It seems like things are going very smoothly."

"We mainly caught the mechanical lifeforms off guard, and there is a severe shortage of androids, so we need to replenish the robot army as soon as possible."

Qinghou said worriedly, "I'm afraid they will organize a larger-scale attack on Altair 2 and the space station next time."

White and I both felt we needed to launch a landing operation as soon as possible to divert the machine lifeforms' forces.

"Don't worry, Bulma will deliver the first batch of 1000 upgraded T800 robots to you tomorrow. As long as you can hold out for one day, 2000 upgraded T800 robots will be offline at the same time. Wait one more day, and from then on, 3000 T800 robots will be offline at the same time every day."

Bulma built a robot production line in the Dragon Ball universe a long time ago. Originally, she just wanted to set up her own robot company to save up some dowry, so the production line was not particularly large.

After Wenming told Bulma to do everything he could to help the androids take over the planet, she went back and increased the production line.

After 3 days, the robot's production capacity will reach 3000 units per day.

It's not that we can't increase production capacity, but that it's unnecessary.

Because it was designed for wartime use, the upgraded T800 version removed the bionic skin, leaving only a metal frame and weapons, but added an energy shield.

Bulma's company calculated that with large-scale procurement and production, the cost of one unit would be at least $30.

A production capacity of 3000 units per day would amount to 9 million US dollars.

Even with further increases in production capacity, Bulma could no longer afford such a large investment.

After all, this is a long war.

An army of robots costing $9 million a day, operating for 100 days without any return, would impact the cash flow of the world's richest man.

Therefore, Bulma also needs to reserve a production line to produce the civilian version of the T800 in order to support military production.

Commander White once used the Sea Queen to simulate that when the number of upgraded T800 robots reached 30000, a stable base could be established on the ground; when it reached 50000, it could pose a regional threat to mechanical life forms; when it reached 10, it could launch a local war; and when it reached 50, it could launch a general offensive.

The upgrade to 50 T800s would require a staggering $1500 billion.

Don't think it's not much; this is just the cost price, and it doesn't even include other costs such as the production costs of Altair 2, the subsequent supply of various firearms and ammunition, etc.

Given Tony's nature as an arms dealer, a 1% price difference would be the least he could offer.

To win this global war, Commander White would have to sacrifice at least $4000 billion worth of mineral resources.

This is because all of them are robots; if humans were involved in the war, this number would be several times higher.

War is all about money.

"If my virus works, it can save a lot of money."

Aoko was well aware of the pressure Bulma was under, so she decided to start with what she was best at.

"You've worked hard these past few days. Tomorrow is the day Ada Wong enters the storyline. I need to call on Yuan Bao, Yuan She, and Jazz to help her. She will be experiencing five storylines simultaneously: Resident Evil 2, 3, Operation Raccoon City, Outbreak 1, and Outbreak 2. It's extremely dangerous, extremely dangerous."

Wen Ming ruffled Qinghou's long silver hair: "Please forgive my willful desire to participate in this war."

"Boss, once we take over this universe, it will become your exclusive universe. I will do everything I can to help you take it over."

Qinghou raised her little face, her expression serious.

Wen Ming kissed her forehead with relief: "Go and rest."

"Boss, you should get some rest too."

Qinghou snuggled against Wen Ming's chest for a while before reluctantly leaving.

After she left, Wen Ming remembered that Yuan Long and Yuan She had accompanied Yelena, Antonia, Index, and Misaka Mikoto to the Dragon Ball universe and hadn't returned yet. He checked the time; it was already 3:30 a.m.

After hesitating for a moment, Wen Ming picked up the combat power detector: "Sea Queen, contact Strawberry and ask Melina if she has gone back to sleep?"

"Boss, Melina is still busy optimizing the plan in the lab."

"Video call."

A few seconds later, Melina's pretty face appeared in the video: "Boss, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I want to ask if Yelena and Antonia have returned."

Wen Ming's words warmed Melina's heart: "They made an appointment with me to play until tomorrow, no, this morning, and they'll probably be back in a few hours."

Wen Ming nodded, then looked at Melina seriously: "Now, immediately, go and rest."

"Ah I?"

Melina paused for a moment, then saw Wen Ming say to the person beside him, "Strawberry, force Melina offline and don't let her stay in the lab anymore."

"Received, dear Wenming."

Strawberry quickly saved the plan for Melina and then closed the port in front of her, preventing her from accessing the Queen's supercomputer.

Melina felt a warmth in her heart again: "Boss, you're still awake?"

"You go to sleep, I'll go to sleep too."

Wen Ming urged her again, and Melina couldn't help but stretch, revealing her graceful figure: "Boss, you're such a sweetheart."

"I'm only warm towards my employees."

Wen Ming waved to hang up the communication, then wanted to pick up a book to read, but was too lazy to do so. He was hesitating whether to take a shower or go to sleep when the combat power detector on the bedside table suddenly sounded an alarm.

"Warning: 20 armed men are rapidly approaching the hotel, within 3 kilometers in a straight line."

According to Haihou's assessment, the other party's route was straight towards the hotel, and they would arrive in 10 minutes.

Wen Ming's heart skipped a beat, and he sprang from the bed like a cheetah: "No need to sound the alarm for everyone. Notify Qinghou, John, Marcus, and Perkins to enter combat mode and continue searching for other suspicious persons."

"Roger that!"

When Wen Ming rushed into the underground parking lot, John, Marcus, and Perkins were already waiting in the car.

To Wen Ming's surprise, Melina was also in the car.

"Melina, you should go back now. You've been working for a long time." Wen Ming told her to leave without saying another word.

"No, boss, I'm also a member of the hotel staff."

Melina shook her head and pulled out two Desert Eagles: "I'm the original Black Widow."

Looking at the menacing weapon in the other person's hand, Wen Ming paused for a second and said, "I'll follow orders in a moment."

Melina smiled happily: "Okay, boss."

"set off!"

Perkins floored the accelerator, and the Jazz roared out of the underground parking lot.

"Boss, is this the Black River Society?"

"Definitely is."

Wen Ming looked at the center console: "Qinghou, block all surveillance cameras along the way, lock onto the other party's vehicle, immediately launch a network intrusion, and find the location of the Honghe Group's senior management."

"Got it, boss."

"John, Marcus, find the best sniping spot. Don't use unconventional weapons, use only conventional weapons."

"Boss, the best sniping spot is around the corner in the park ahead."

"Be ready for battle."

The park corner was very close to the hotel. After getting out of the car, Wen Ming quickly led Perkins and the others to a suitable sniping spot. Jazz was extremely aggrieved: "Why can't I join the battle?"

"You can use it as cover."

Amidst her busy schedule, Qinghou managed to quip a few words, while Jazz could only reluctantly find a spot at the intersection to help Wenming and the others block the other side's view. However, he secretly stuck a gun barrel out from under the car.

Hehe, who says the Autobots don't shoot from the shadows?

……

Soon, four black Chevrolet SUVs arrived at the traffic lights and came into view.

"Don't rush to fire."

Wen Ming took out a "Dispel Idlers" talisman from his pocket and was about to stick it on the ground next to him when several figures suddenly appeared at the crossroads.

Wen Ming was startled by the sudden appearance of the five people, but seeing that the red light was about to end, he didn't care about anything else and pressed the talisman in his hand directly to the ground.

The already deserted intersection suddenly became quiet.

"Yelena! Get down! All of you get down!"

Ignoring the fact that he might alert the other party, Wen Ming shouted loudly.

Index was somewhat surprised that she hadn't returned to Wen Ming's side but had instead come to this unfamiliar crossroads, only to find that Yelena had already pushed her to the ground.

Misaka Mikoto was also pinned to the ground; the person who did it was Antonia.

The two well-trained men carried out the order without hesitation the moment they heard Wen Ming's voice.

Little Wukong stood there dumbfounded, looking around for Wen Ming, when the next second he heard a loud gunshot.

"boom--"

With just one shot, the first SUV to start went out of control and crashed into the SUV next to it, while the two SUVs that had just started moving behind it narrowly avoided crashing into it.

"Fire!"

At Wen Ming's command, sparks flew from gun barrels all around the street corner. Upon hearing the dense gunfire, Xiao Wukong immediately realized that Wen Ming was in the middle of a battle.

He looked at the four SUVs, but couldn't sense Wen Ming's presence. He chuckled and pulled out the golden cudgel from his back: "Did you bully Wen Ming? Watch how I deal with you!" The mercenaries in the four SUVs were completely stunned.

They never expected that they would be ambushed before they even reached their destination.

Fake!

Could there be a traitor among us?

Without thinking too much, the mercenaries opened the car doors and used them as cover, preparing to fight back.

However, as soon as they opened the car door and jumped out, deadly bullets began to be fired from behind them.

The veterans immediately recognized the loud gunfire from the Desert Eagle.

Attacked from both sides!

Although the mercenaries were well-trained, in this one encounter, all four drivers were killed, and four people who got out of the car died instantly.

The remaining 12 men couldn't see the enemy at all, so they could only fire wildly in all directions.

But those deadly sniper rifles and Desert Eagles would kill them the moment they dared to show their faces.

"cast……"

Just as the lead mercenary was about to shout something, a stick came down from the sky and smashed his head open with one blow.

"What kind of monster is this!"

The remaining mercenaries looked at the child falling from the sky and thought they were dreaming.

No, whose child is this?
"Watch the fight!"

After landing, Little Wukong was like a tank jumping into a group of heroes, or a tiger entering a flock of sheep, wildly wielding his golden cudgel and slaughtering indiscriminately.

One mercenary after another was sent flying by his club. Wen Ming and his men around him worked together perfectly, and each one who was sent flying was shot three or four times.

"gun!"

The four little ones, lying on the ground, looked at the chaotic battlefield without trembling.

Yelena tossed out the multi-purpose capsule, quickly retrieved weapons from the weapon case, casually tossed a pair of Glock G19s to Antonia, and took a pair for herself.

"You two stay behind this car and don't move."

Yelena gave Index and Misaka Mikoto some instructions, then nodded to Antonia. The two sisters immediately poked their guns out from the front and back of one of the cars and calmly opened fire on the four SUVs.

Index muttered, "Can I use magic?"

"Of course not. This is a normal human neighborhood. Misusing magic will cause trouble for Wen Ming."

Huh? Why is there no other sound?

Misaka Mikoto carefully observed her surroundings and found the silence almost unbelievable, except for the gunshots.

"It was bystanders who dispersed them!"

Index's eyes lit up, and she was about to chant a spell, but Misaka Mikoto stopped her: "They're just a few bad guys, no need for magic. Watch me, Railgun!"

With a "sizzle," an orange flash of lightning appeared, and the game coin that Misaka Mikoto tossed up transformed into an orange bolt of lightning, creating a chaotic gust of wind and instantly blasting one of the SUVs to pieces.

"RPG!"

The already panicked mercenaries were now terrified and ran away in a panic.

Who exactly is lying in ambush on us?

Why are they using RPGs all of a sudden?
Index pouted, looking unhappy: "You won't let me use magic, but you use the Railgun, that's cheating!"

Misaka Mikoto grinned and pulled out another game coin: "Didn't you hear? They said I'm using an RPG."

"One more shot, Railgun!"

Another game coin was fired, and the second SUV was flipped over.

This time, however, the SUV exploded.

"Little Wukong, lie down now!"

Wen Ming suddenly shouted from a distance.

The engrossed Goku didn't understand why Wen Ming had stopped him; a huge shockwave sent him flying more than ten meters away.

"So hot, so hot!"

As soon as Little Wukong landed, he jumped up from the ground. His clothes on the back caught fire, and the skin on his back was blasted red.

"Lie down and roll around on the ground!"

Wen Ming, like a cheetah, pounced from behind cover towards Xiao Wukong, but another person was even faster.

"Don't move!"

John rushed to Little Goku, ripped off his burning clothes, threw them a distance away, and then quickly pulled out a first-aid spray from inside the clothes and began spraying Little Goku's back.

"Thank you, Master John."

Little Wukong felt a cool sensation and immediately looked up at John in relief. When he saw Wen Ming also coming to his side, he grinned and said, "Thank you, Wen Ming."

"Please be safe."

Seeing that Little Wukong was alright, Wen Ming picked up his gun and turned towards the SUV.

The SUV explosion sent the remaining mercenaries flying to the ground, and Marcus, Perkins, Melina, Yelena, and Antonia quickly took their lives.

"boom!"

As the last shot fell, Melina and Perkins strode towards the battlefield, carefully checking for any survivors.

In fact, there is no need to check at all.

The combat capability detector had already informed them that all 20 mercenaries on site were dead, but the Iron Hotel was known for its steady and reliable approach.

Even if he's dead, you have to finish him off with a shot.

"Boss, 20, not one missing, they're all here."

After carefully counting the heads, Perkins walked up to Wen Ming and asked, "What should we do with the bodies?"

"If you don't deal with it, just leave it here so everyone can see it."

This time was different from the previous times, so Wen Ming changed his strategy directly: "Clean up our hiding place, don't leave any traces."

Although he used black guns from the John Wick universe and carefully avoided leaving any fingerprints on the bullets, Wen Ming didn't want anyone to find too many clues.

"Don't worry, boss, I'm a professional."

Perkins turned around and joined Melina, Marcus, and John to begin wrapping things up.

Wen Ming walked up to Misaka Mikoto. When the girl saw Wen Ming, she blushed and bowed deeply, saying, "I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to."

"Just be more careful next time, you meant well."

Wen Ming did not criticize the other party, but explained, "All four vehicles should have bombs on them. They were planning to blow up our Iron Hotel."

"what?"

When Misaka Mikoto heard that these people were planning to blow up the Iron Hotel, her blood boiled: "How could they be so despicable?"

"When you arrive in a foreign country alone and inherit a hotel worth hundreds of millions of dollars, you will suffer the same fate as me, even though you are powerless and without influence."

Wen Ming ruffled her hair and said, "You, Index, and Yelena should go back first. We still need to handle the aftermath."

"We're going too!"

Misaka Mikoto couldn't figure out what Wen Ming was going to do, but Yelena and Antonia had already walked up to Wen Ming with guns in hand: "Boss, you need help."

"Don't worry, the few of us are enough. You've just come back from vacation, you must be very tired, go back and rest."

Melina, you go back with the children.

Wen Ming waved to Melina, but Melina shook her head and said, "Boss, I can't go back without you here."

Wen Ming slapped his forehead: "Go and drive our SUV over here."

Melina smiled and went to drive. Wen Ming squatted down in front of the four little ones, about to say something, when Misaka Mikoto suddenly spoke up: "The disasters our universe will experience are far more dangerous than the gunfight just now."

"Wen Ming, I beg you, I need to hone my skills on the battlefield. I want to grow up quickly and be ready for World War III."

The stubborn Misaka Mikoto looked intently at Wen Ming.

Yelena and Antonia remained silent, gripping their pistols tightly as they stood in front of Wen Ming, staring intently at him.

Index pouted, "Misaka wouldn't let me cast spells earlier, but I want to protect my universe and Wenming too."

Just then, Little Goku hopped over and said, "Wen Ming, they've teamed up to kill dinosaurs in my universe!"

Wen Ming was silent for a moment after hearing this, but finally did not insist: "Alright then, you can follow, but don't make any moves without permission."

Teamwork is key on the battlefield. Little Wukong, don't just jump into the crowd and start a fight recklessly.

"YES!"

The five little ones raised their hands together, gave each other a high five, and excitedly hugged each other.

Melina parked the car next to Wen Ming, jumped out, and said, "Their lives are destined to be different from ordinary children. The 'A Certain Magical Index' and 'Black Widow' universes have never been children's shows; there are countless life-and-death battles in them."

"The sooner they experience it, the better their chances of survival on the battlefield."

Wen Ming shook his head: "It's precisely because their past experiences were so difficult that I want to give them more happiness."

"There are many kinds of happiness, and the happiness that suits them best is the one they want."

Melina smiled and said, "Boss, you'll be a good father, but these children need to be treated differently."

"Fine, you've raised children, so you're in the right."

Wen Ming looked at Yelena: "Where are Yuan Long and Yuan She?"

Yelena quickly took the shrunken Yuan Dragon and Yuan Snake from her waist and gave them to Wen Ming: "They're here. They wanted to grow bigger and join the battle, but I didn't agree."

"You're right. Yuan She, turn into a motorcycle, I want to go for a ride!"

The Serpent landed with a thud and quickly transformed into a stylish Dodge Tomahawk. Its silver-white body was so cool that Misaka Mikoto was stunned: "I really want to try it."

"Then wait until you don't wear a JK uniform next time."

"JK uniform?"

Misaka Mikoto looked down at her pleated skirt and said angrily, "I'm wearing shorts under my skirt!"

Index chimed in, "Who would wear safety shorts under a pleated skirt?"

Yelena and Antonia nodded vigorously: "I thought your Japan didn't have this heresy about safety shorts."

Misaka Mikoto was so embarrassed she couldn't lift her head: "Oh dear, I love wearing this! It makes fighting much easier for me!"

Yelena patted Misaka Mikoto on the shoulder, with a knowing look on her face: "No wonder you've never been able to catch up with that Kamijou Touma. Who would like a girl who wears safety shorts?"

"what?"

Misaka Mikoto blushed and quickly glanced at the only man present.

Well, Little Goku doesn't count.

Is it really?

Should I stop wearing safety shorts from now on?
Wen Ming didn't notice the little girl's thoughts. He first looked at Perkins, and only after Perkins gave him an OK sign did he walk to the spot where he had been and remove the "Dispel Idlers" rune.

Then, with a long stride, he stepped onto the Dodge Battle Axe, and the excited voice of the Serpent immediately rang out: "Boss, I've finally become your personal mount!"

How's my butt feeling while I'm sitting? Should I adjust how perky it is?

The jazz chuckled from the side, "If Yuan Ying knew that you, Yuan She, had no restraint at all, he would absolutely go crazy."

Yuan She's voice immediately turned cold: "Don't mention that spoilsport at such a happy moment."

The jazz immediately burst into laughter.

"Let's go for a drive tonight."

Wen Ming looked at the little ones beside him: "Hurry up and get in the car, we need to speed things up."

We can't keep our guests waiting too long.

"Let's go!"

Little Goku and his friends cheered and rushed into the SUV. John sat in the passenger seat, while Marcus and Perkins got into the SUV.

"Crack!"

Marcus extended his gloved right hand from the passenger-side window, holding several grenades. He pulled the pin and casually tossed them under the four SUVs.

"Boom boom boom boom——"

With a loud explosion, Wen Ming took the lead and rushed towards the distant street.

Tonight, let's have some fun!
