Wanjie Hotel: Iron Man is not allowed to charge

Chapter 185 Starting today, every employee of the Iron Hotel is a superhero (7K views, please vote!)
When Wen Ming led Kanzaki Kaori and Misaka Mikoto out of the laboratory, the two girls were completely stunned.

Immediately, their faces turned bright red.

isn't it?
Everyone knows what we just did in there.
Taishe is dead!

Wen Ming was surprised to see everyone there. He bowed to them and thanked them, saying, "Thank you all. I'm sorry to have worried you."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Wen Ming was alright. Tony sneered, "While everyone else was waiting outside, you were having fun inside?"

Tony's sharp tongue immediately drew the ire of his mother, Maria: "Tony!"

Tony saw that Kanzaki Kaori and Misaka Mikoto's faces were even redder, so he pursed his lips and said nothing more.

Wen Ming noticed the two's discomfort, so he smiled and introduced them to everyone: "Let me formally introduce you to Misaka Mikoto, who has officially advanced to Level 6 Absolute Ability User."

"Walter?"

Almost everyone present had read "A Certain Magical Index" and knew what Level 6 meant.

This little girl has actually broken through the limits of her talent and reached the legendary realm?
How strong is she now?

As Misaka Mikoto was watched by everyone, her shyness gradually faded, replaced by a deep sense of pride and self-satisfaction. She raised her now-larger C-cup breasts and said, "Thank you all for your support. If you need my help with any missions in the future, please feel free to contact me."

Wen Ming naturally invited Ada Wong over: "Tonight, Ada needs to complete her storyline, and she has to complete all five parts at once. You can go to Ada Wong's world to train and get thoroughly familiar with your new body."

"And Kanzaki Kaori, Kaori, your power has increased considerably too. You just received the Super Soldier Serum. Why don't you come along?"

"Then I'll leave it to you, Sister Ada."

Misaka Mikoto bowed deeply to Ada Wong with delight. Kanzaki Kaori also snapped out of her shyness, glanced gratefully at Wen Ming, and then bowed to Ada Wong in thanks: "Thank you, Ada-neechan."

Aunt Wang, who had initially felt a little jealous, immediately felt Wen Ming's care for her. She glanced triumphantly at Natasha and Laura, and helped Misaka Mikoto and Kanzaki Kaori up with both hands: "I also need to thank you for your help. With you by my side, I feel much more at ease this time."

Seeing Wen Ming easily defuse the chaotic situation, Tony curled his lip again, wanting to say something sarcastic, but Wen Ming had already looked at him: "You can go in and strengthen yourself now. Do you need me to cheer you on?"

"Of course not!"

Tony grumbled as he walked into the lab, and Professor Erkins immediately followed. Howard and Maria, worried about their son, also went in.

Natasha watched Tony's retreating figure with great interest: "Iron Man has been injected with the Super Soldier Serum, so what use is Captain America?"

"I believe that I, an old man, am still of some use."

Just then, a voice appeared behind them.

Everyone turned to look and saw a burly man wearing a baseball cap standing at the elevator entrance. Selena stood next to him and introduced him to everyone: "This is the captain, Captain Steve Rogers. He just finished the tutorial."

"Hello, Wen Ming."

Steve politely shook hands with Wen Ming and greeted him, then stared intently at a beautiful figure behind Wen Ming: "Hi, Peggy."

"Hello."

Peggy Carter watched Steve with great interest, and everyone present also wore expressions of watching the drama unfold.

Everyone present had seen Marvel movies, so they all knew the situation between the two.

If CP fans saw this, they would definitely scream.

This is a meeting of the century.

How have you been all these years?

Steve was a little agitated, but Peggy's words immediately dampened his enthusiasm: "I'm sorry, I'm not the Peggy you know."

"Walter?"

Steve looked at Peggy with surprise and suspicion. Peggy shrugged: "I am Peggy Carter from Marvel's parallel universe 838, the Peggy you haven't seen for decades. She's lying in a nursing home right now."

By the way, did Nick Fury use the medical pod for that Peggy?

Steve then realized he had mistaken her for someone else, but looking at her face, which was exactly the same as the goddess in his mind, or even more beautiful and elegant, he still couldn't help but be deeply attracted: "I haven't met her yet."

"Then you'd better go see her."

Peggy sighed, "After all, in the main world, my lifespan is only 95 years. You can still see me at 80 years old now."

Perkins, Rebecca, Natasha, Laura, and a group of other female onlookers watched with great interest. Ada Wong, forgetting her own plot mission, stood with Misaka Mikoto and Kanzaki Kaori, watching this amazing scene unfold before them.

When Steve heard Peggy's words, he felt a strange pang of heartache for some reason.

It's as if you've been waiting bitterly under the ice for decades, only to be met with the goddess saying, "Let's break up."

No, it should be "I'm already married".

Wen Ming stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Come on, let Rebecca give you a full check-up first. Tony brought you here to help eliminate any potential health problems."

"Thank you."

Steve nodded slightly, then followed Rebecca with mixed feelings.

Wen Ming clapped his hands: "Alright, thank you all again. Go and rest. I still need to talk to Ada about her plot."

Seeing the smug look on Ida's face, Natasha smiled slightly, put her arms around her sister Yelena and Antonia, and asked, "How are things going with the boss?"

"The boss really likes us and bought us tons of clothes."

Yelena excitedly recounted the events of the past few days to Natasha, while Antonia nodded silently in agreement, indicating that she was also very happy.

Natasha turned to Melina: "Mom, tonight the four of us need to have a good talk about how to win over the boss."

"puff--"

Everyone present couldn't hold back anymore; Natasha really was the dirtiest one at the Iron Hotel.

none of them.

You four are clearly not related by blood, yet you talk as if you were a real mother and her four daughters.

Ada Wong immediately guessed that Natasha was talking to her, but she wasn't angry because Wen Ming was stuffing Transformers into her hands at that moment.

"These are the shrunken versions of Yuanbao, Yuanshe, and Jueshi. With the three of them, along with Misaka Mikoto and Kanzaki Kaori, even a tyrant can be crushed into dust by you."

"Once Tony finishes his enhancements, it'll be your turn. Go after you've enhanced yourself."

Ada Wong was beaming with joy, and Laura leaned over and said, "Wen Ming, you promised you'd help me take down Pandora's Box these next few days."

"Later, you and Ada will have your blood drawn first, so that the Queen of the Sea can analyze how much super soldier serum you should be given. After you complete the enhancement, I will send someone to accompany you to retrieve Pandora's Box."

Wenming treated everyone equally, and naturally wouldn't overlook the sexy countess; a satisfied smile appeared on Laura's lips.

Captain Carter smiled at Wen Ming's popularity and tried to pull Marlena away, but Marlena stopped in her tracks: "I still have to wait in line for my enhancement."

"Then I'll stay with you..."

Just as Captain Carter finished speaking, Steve came out. Refreshed after being treated in the medical bay, he was no longer heartbroken and extended an invitation to Captain Carter: "Want to grab a drink together?"

"Sorry, I still need to accompany Malena in her enhancement."

Captain Carter politely declined Steve's offer, which disappointed Steve, so he walked over to Tony, who had just come out of the lab: "How are you feeling?"

"This is awesome! I feel like I could find 24 cover girls tonight!"

Tony excitedly patted his biceps, then said, "Looks like my armor needs another upgrade, I've actually grown taller!"

"Congratulations!"

Wen Ming and Steve congratulated Tony at the same time. Tony strutted around in front of everyone like a peacock spreading its tail feathers. However, Malena, Ada Wong, Laura, Sarah and other women all went with Dr. Erkins and Rebecca to have their blood drawn for tests. Misaka Mikoto and Kanzaki Kaori went back to their rooms to take showers and prepare for their departure. The rest of the people also left.

Only Captain Carter and the Queen were left watching him, leaving him with nothing to show for it.

He could only look at Wen Ming: "What? You haven't had your injection yet?"

Wen Ming nodded: "You guys go ahead and strengthen yourselves, I'm not in a hurry."

Tony said smugly, "Even if you're enhanced, you still can't beat me."

Wen Ming nodded again without hesitation: "As long as my employees can beat you, that's fine."

"Your employees?"

The enhanced Tony was bursting with confidence: "Even without my armor, I can beat them now."

Wen Ming turned to look at Perkins: "Didn't you want to beat him up a long time ago?"

Perkins clenched his fist and smiled happily: "After being enhanced just now, I just wanted to find someone to beat up properly."

Tony has never been one to admit defeat, especially since he had long wanted to use his strength to wake up Perkins and make this ruthless female assassin look at him differently. So without saying a word, he said, "Let's go, let's go to the gravity chamber."

"Gravity chamber?"

Steve became interested: "Can I go?"

"Of course, it's on me. I'll show you how amazing I am."

Tony walked into the gravity chamber first: "Wen Ming, do you want to come? Oh, I forgot, you definitely can't withstand 4 times gravity right now. It seems you're destined to be surpassed by me."

Wen Ming shook his head, ignoring Tony, and turned to enter the laboratory.

Marlena and the others need to strengthen themselves, and I have to cheer them on one by one. I don't have time to pay attention to this old peacock.

"I believe you. You're not even afraid of zombies, so what's one injection? I'll give you ten tonight."

"Come on, you've already killed the Terminator, so what if it hurts a little? I'll take good care of you tonight."

"You are the best countess, you can definitely do it. I'm looking forward to having a deeper conversation with you tonight."

……

Ada Wong, Sarah, and Laura are all powerful women who have experienced the baptism of war and have been enhanced, so their serum injections were very successful.

Wen Ming's biggest worry was still Malena.

Malena underwent enhancements in both the Iron Man and Black Widow storylines, gaining increased intelligence and stamina respectively, but she remains essentially a fragile widow.

Before she was enhanced, Wen Ming recharged her in the underground hospital's lounge, and only then did she confidently walk into the laboratory.

"Boss, you really care about this married woman."

Perkins stood aside, offering his blunt criticism, but all he got in return was Wen Ming's back and Rebecca's escape: "Boss, I'll go get Malena a new outfit."

Perkins didn't realize it at first, but when she and Wen Ming were the only ones left in the observation room, she realized something was wrong.

"I thought your emotional intelligence would improve after being injected with the perfect version of the Super Soldier Serum, but it seems it didn't work."

Wen Ming's words made Perkins a little embarrassed. She wanted to say something, but Wen Ming dismissed her: "Go and tell Yelena, Antonia, and Bulma to get ready. They're next."

Perkins, feeling like he'd been granted a pardon, rushed out of the lab.

After she came out, she realized that something was wrong.

"Huh? The boss didn't hit me with the stick just now?"

……

Throughout the day, the laboratory equipment operated almost non-stop, with one employee and time traveler after another being sent into the laboratory to be injected with the perfect version of the Super Soldier Serum. The Iron Hotel's strength was visibly increasing.

"So, I've become the most ordinary person?"

Steve sat in the bar drinking with Tony, Natasha, Thor, Pepper, and Maya. Peggy Carter eventually came to drink too, but the atmosphere was clearly not what Steve wanted.

"From now on, everyone at the Iron Hotel will be a superhero."

Tony held his beer, his eyes darting around.

His eye was bruised and swollen, and Pepper wanted to apply an ice pack to it, but he refused.

Maya excitedly said, "The Super Soldier Serum is just the beginning. The Extremis Virus 1.0 version has been simulated and will soon enter live experiments. Now that we have the upgraded Queen of the Sea, calculating the data is too easy."

After the Extremis virus is injected, while not everyone will become a superhero, it will be much harder for anyone to target the Flatiron Hotel.

Maya's words made everyone in the Marvel Universe present pay even more attention to Wen Ming.

Because everyone knows that Wen Ming has a next plan—to give everyone superpowers and magic.

"I heard that your brother Loki got beaten up by Wen Ming last night, so will this trigger the plot of 'The Avengers' 1'?"

Tony looked at Thor, who looked completely bewildered: "I don't know."

Tony shook his head. This guy's an idiot.

No wonder your brother can play you so well.

Natasha chuckled from the side, "As long as Thor picks up Mjolnir again, everyone in the Marvel Universe will be enhanced once more. I wonder if we'll have a chance to acquire the physique of the Aesir or the ability to control lightning."

Tony's eyes lit up: "What are you waiting for? Thor, hurry up and figure out how to lift your hammer."

Pepper, Maya, and Peggy all showed great interest. Even Steve, who knew he would eventually be able to lift Thor's hammer, couldn't dwell on his sadness and began to fantasize about whether he could easily defeat Thanos if he possessed Thor's power.

Thor looked bewildered: "How can I lift it? My father doesn't approve of me, so I can't lift it."

"Then do something to earn his approval!"

Tony urged him with exasperation, "Stop drinking here. You should be helping others. Go help the elderly cross the street."

Thor looked at everyone and saw that they were all looking at him expectantly. He had no choice but to finish the last sip of beer in his bottle and walk out: "Leave me some beer, I'll come back for more after I'm done helping you out."

After he left, everyone continued drinking and chatting. Steve tried to move closer to Peggy, but Captain Carter had already turned to Malena, who looked like a goddess descending to earth: "How are you? Getting used to it?"

"I can't even believe it, is this really me?"

Malena's cheeks flushed with excitement: "I just lifted a ton of weight with ease, it's like a dream."

Peggy laughed and said, "You'll become even stronger in the future."

Malena's arrival means that almost all the Marvel time travelers have arrived.

Well, Thor, this unofficial member, doesn't count; everyone selectively ignores him because his IQ is too low.

Tony suddenly said, "In the plots of movies and TV shows, we have made many wrong choices and lost many partners."

I think we, the Marvel Avengers, need to rebuild a new alliance, or rather, a new mechanism.

Steve immediately guessed what Tony was going to do, and he nodded, saying, "We need to identify a leader."

Natasha, Maya, Pepper, Malena, and Peggy looked at the two of them and understood that this was yet another moment that required them to make a choice.

However, the situation faced by the current Avengers members is different from that in the movies and TV shows.

In the movies and TV shows, the Ultron incident caused the deaths of many civilians, which led to 117 countries jointly issuing a superhero regulatory agreement. This agreement required all superheroes to obtain permission before taking action and required all superpowered individuals to register and be subject to management. This caused a huge disagreement between Iron Man and Captain America.

In addition, Iron Man learned that his parents had been killed by the Winter Soldier, which ultimately led to a complete break between Iron Man and Captain America.

It was precisely because of the outbreak of the civil war that the Avengers were unable to work together when Thanos arrived, and were thus defeated one by one.

Now that everyone has a God's-eye view, they already know the cause and effect of everything, and Tony has already rescued his parents from the Winter Soldier.

Therefore, with the influence of past grievances gone, all that remains is the difference in understanding.

"I still disagree that all our actions should be monitored by those bureaucrats. It is unrealistic to wait for approval in life-or-death situations, not to mention the self-interest of those politicians and their willingness to disregard human lives. I have seen too much of that."

Moreover, Hydra was not completely eradicated; no one knows how many more of this organization remain lurking among politicians.

Steve's arguments are just like those in movies and TV shows.

His pursuit of freedom surpassed his loyalty to his country.

In particular, he was once thrown onto the stage by politicians to dance like a clown.

This time, Tony didn't directly oppose it because he was also reflecting on whether the agreement and the bill were correct, especially after Thanos snapped his fingers and the world's population was halved, and governments were falling apart. Who could still supervise the superheroes?
"However, we cannot be without constraints. If we are without constraints, wouldn't we become like those Homelanders? Who can guarantee that every one of us with superpowers is mentally sound?"

Tony's explanation made Steve somewhat unconvinced. He hadn't yet gone through various battles with Tony, so he spoke even more bluntly: "That's everyone's freedom."

Captain: Civil War is essentially a conflict about freedom, the rule of law, and contracts. Even with a God's-eye view, no one can find a good solution.

Just then, Malena suddenly raised her hand: "Why not ask Wenming for his opinion?"

Malena didn't quite understand what these people were insisting on, but she understood one person.

Wen Ming will definitely be able to give the most reasonable opinion.

The boss is omnipotent.

The group exchanged glances, and finally said, "Then let's ask Wen Ming to come."

……

Bulma, you're amazing!

Wen Ming held Bulma, who had just stepped out of the metal container, in his arms. The Dragon Ball girl excitedly bounced a ball around in Wen Ming's arms, saying, "Ahhh, I've gotten bigger again! Thank you, darling."

"I'll only feel at ease when you become stronger."

Bulma, who possesses a physique four times that of an ordinary person and remains eternally young, could have lived a carefree life if her universe didn't contain evil bosses like Piccolo Daimaō, Frieza, and Majin Buu.

"Can I cultivate Qi now? Can I fly without a flying machine?"

Bulma suddenly thought of a possibility: "Could it be that I can also personally beat up Piccolo Daimaō?"

"You think too much."

Wen Ming ruffled Bulma's blue hair: "To defeat Piccolo, you must undergo rigorous training. Are you willing to endure that hardship?"

"Don't look down on people."

Bulma said sweetly, squeezing Wen Ming's arms, "What hardship can't I endure?"

There's a kind of bitterness you haven't experienced yet.

Wen Ming leaned close to Bulma's ear and whispered something. Bulma immediately pouted and playfully bumped into him, saying, "You're so mean! I'm punishing you by making you my research assistant tonight."

"A game between mentor and student?"

Wen Ming's eyes lit up, and he was about to say something when Qinghou's voice came from outside. Wen Ming quickly took out clothes for Bulma to put on, and then walked out of the laboratory: "What's wrong?"

"Some people want a civil war."

The Queen covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

Wen Ming walked helplessly toward the elevator: "Can't you just let me play games in peace for a little while every day?"

Bulma waved to Wenming and said, "I'll be waiting for you."

Wen Ming nodded and turned off the elevator.

……

Is this question difficult?

Wen Ming looked at Tony and Steve as if they were idiots: "I thought that after you gained the God's perspective and underwent intellectual enhancement, this problem would become very simple."

Tony's face immediately turned ugly, and Steve was also somewhat displeased.

That's really dirty.

And it doesn't contain a single swear word.

Wen Ming was preoccupied with many things to do tonight, so he kept it brief: "First, you need to understand one premise."

Everyone looked at him.

Wen Ming pointed at everyone: "You are no longer human."

Everyone was shocked, and Steve retorted in response, "How is that possible? We are still human."

"You are just a new kind of human being with humanity."

Wen Ming cut to the chase: "In a sense, you are no different from mutants."

The group exchanged glances, and each saw fear in the other's eyes.

Are we no longer human?

Wen Ming knew that everyone needed time to process this, but he still continued, "In the eyes of ordinary people, anyone who is different from them will be considered a freak."

There is an old saying in the Great Qian Kingdom: "Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts."

What makes you think they would allow a bunch of freaks to stand on their heads and shit?
Especially those capitalists and politicians who consider themselves to control the world.

Wen Ming looked at Steve with disdain: "You want freedom? Do you want to see what happened to mutants? They're almost extinct."

You were hailed as a hero not because of your military achievements, but because politicians needed you to recruit soldiers and sell war bonds. Have you forgotten how you were made to dance on stage?

If Dr. Erkins' serum had been widely available back then, you would have become one of the war-making machines that politicians constantly replicate, instead of the hero being erected. All captains ultimately become stepping stones for politicians to climb the ladder.

Steve's face immediately turned ugly. His past of dancing on stage to recruit soldiers and please people was the last thing he wanted to talk about, but Wen Ming directly tore off his last veil of shame.

Politicians don't want heroes; they want tools to help them achieve their goals.

Even if he isn't a hero, that's fine.

Tony grinned happily when he heard Wen Ming oppose Steve. But before he could even laugh, Wen Ming looked at him and said, "It's not wrong for you to want to restrain everyone, but you can't entrust your future to a group of unscrupulous politicians who only know how to fight for their own interests, especially when that politician leads the way in stock speculation after taking office."

Tony's smile froze instantly, but Wen Ming's next words made him happy again: "You are not from the same world to begin with. When the world is in crisis, you go and solve it. This is a manifestation of your retention of the greatest part of humanity. But you can't expect everyone to retain the greatest and most beautiful part of humanity."

The existence of people like the Homelanders is not accidental, but inevitable.

Therefore, all superpowered individuals must be restrained. You can establish a Super-British Council, formulate your own code of conduct, and set up an ethics committee, an executive committee, and a technology committee. You can even buy a piece of land and become completely autonomous like Wakanda.

Only then can you truly stand up and speak.

However, you cannot openly break with humanity, neither now nor in the future, and you must not wage war against ordinary humans unless you can turn everyone in the world into superheroes.

So you can invite those more than one hundred countries to send people as observers, but they have no decision-making power, only the right to make suggestions.

Dignity is only on the edge of the sword, and truth is only within the range of the cannon.

With a base of operations and a sufficiently powerful fist, you will be equal to humanity.

After that, whether you want to unleash the greatest aspects of humanity to save the world, retire to the countryside in the end, or turn everyone in the world into superhumans, you will have enough confidence, instead of becoming pawns of politicians time and time again out of helplessness, like Yelena, Antonia, and the second captain.

The ending of "Thunderbolts" made everyone present realize that they simply couldn't outmaneuver politicians in politics.

Even with Wakanda as his backer, Black Panther was still constrained at every turn, but he was still better off than Captain America and Natasha, who were being chased and forced to wander the world.

This is also why Wenming previously suggested that Natasha fully accept the Red House and establish her own White House.

After undergoing the serum injection, everyone present had extremely active brains and quickly realized that what Wen Ming said made perfect sense.

In particular, they will become stronger and stronger in the future.

Immediately, everyone felt a sense of comfort spreading throughout their bodies; Wen Ming was indeed the most anticipated.

He resolved a major point of contention as soon as he arrived.

Seeing that everyone had figured it out, Wen Ming got up and walked out: "Keep it up. I believe your universe will definitely achieve superpower autonomy sooner than the DC universe."

Tony thought of the little bat and immediately stood up: "I need to use the sea queen to create a framework."

I want to be faster than Batman!
"Sure, but there will be a charge!"

Wen Ming waved his hand and was about to leave when Peggy suddenly stood up and walked to his side: "Let's talk about my universe alone. I'm single right now."

"Of course, but I have limited time, I'll be very busy tonight."

"Don't worry, it will only take you an hour."

"By the way, you're not exactly single, are you? Malena is from the same universe as you, so you should come along too, Malena. You're leaving soon anyway."

……

Watching Peggy's retreating figure following closely behind Wen Ming, Steve suddenly felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

Even though it's not my Carter, why do I always feel like my goddess is going to be ruined by another man?

And, it was my goddess who threw herself at me!
Heart hurts.

……

Ps:

It's almost the end of the month, let's make a big push for votes.
