Wanjie Hotel: Iron Man is not allowed to charge

Chapter 212 The Iron Hotel: The Fallen Angel Legion! (8K votes requested)
Zack watched as the greatsword hurtled toward his chest, feeling that death had never been so close. But what was even more terrifying was that Angel's Destruction Sword and Genesis's Crimson Sword also pierced toward him at that moment.

"I'm going to die?"

Zack tried to dodge, but he couldn't muster any strength while in the air.

Just when he thought he was doomed, a figure suddenly appeared beside him and caught him as he flew backward with one hand.

"This is my employee!"

A soft hum rang out, followed by the sounds of three swords and spears clashing. Sephiroth, Angel, and Genesis's swords were all knocked away by Wen Ming's Eternal Spear.

"If you don't want them to change their fate, why did you change the landing location of my spaceship so that I would have to meet them?"

Wen Ming hurled the Eternal Spear from his hand, and like a blue meteor, it strung together seven or eight Fira beads and returned them to his hand.

The Fira wailed in agony atop the Spear of Eternity, but Wenming suddenly flung it away, and seven or eight Fira vanished into ashes: "Or perhaps, it wasn't you Fira who led me here?"

Seeing that Fila was about to be killed, Wenming threw out the Blue Meteor again. Sephiroth and the others were now on guard and were no longer being manipulated by Fila. They joined in the siege of Fila.

Natasha, Melina, and the others took out railguns and began shooting Fila.

"Eat this magic bean."

While fighting, Wen Ming took out a Senzu Bean from his pocket and handed it to Zack. Without hesitation, Zack put it in his mouth. The next second, he was surprised to see that all the wounds on his body had healed.

"Boss, what kind of medicine is this? It's incredibly potent!"

Sephiroth and the others were quite surprised to see Zack alive and kicking again, fighting with his sword.

However, now is the time to kill Fila, and no one has time to think too much.

"Zi-"

The Queen appeared, protecting Lucia, and the heat rays quickly destroyed one Fira after another.

Vincent also stood protectively on either side of Lucy, holding a pistol with an extra-long barrel—Death's Judgment—and kept firing at Fira in the air.

The combat power of these individuals was considered to be among the highest of the humans on Gaia Planet. Facing these Fira, they were like cutting melons and vegetables, killing the vast majority of the Fira in just a few minutes.

Just when everyone thought the battle was about to end, the floor beneath Zack's feet snapped open with a crack, and caught off guard, Zack plummeted down into the city below.

Seeing this, the Fila flocked towards Zack. Wenming raised his hand and swung out the Eternal Spear. The Queen of the Blues rolled her eyes and suddenly one of her hands grew into a blue-gold data belt tens of meters long. It quickly fell from the sky, wrapped around Zack's waist, and pulled him up.

When the Fila saw this, they immediately flew up to pull Zack down, but Wenming's Eternal Spear quickly impaled them one by one.

Natasha, Melina, and the others also fired shots, turning them all into ashes.

"call--"

Zack returned to the floor of the second-level city, letting out a huge sigh of relief, and cursed, "Why, why did they have to drag me down? Why did they have to kill me?"

"Because you are the male protagonist of Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core."

Aoko quickly explained, "You need to kill Angel yourself, wake up Genesis who has become possessed by demons, be beaten to the point of near death by the corrupted Sephiroth, then be soaked in Mako liquid by Dr. Hojo for 4 years, and finally be shot to death by a Shinra soldier."

Now they just want to get everything back on track.

“Genesis, come here, let me hit you, and then you yell that you’re awake and you know you were wrong.”

Zack glared angrily at Genesis, who immediately retorted, "Why not just have Sephiroth stab you half to death? Then have a Shinra soldier finish you off with a single shot, skipping all the intermediate plot points?"

Angel stroked his chin and said, "I also feel that this would be faster."

Zaxton broke down immediately.

Why am I always the one who's hurt?
Wen Ming patted him on the shoulder: "Go back to the Yuan Universe with Qing Hou now and finalize your identity first."

"You guys should go too, and see who can go and who can't."

After Fila's outburst, everyone was convinced that everything in the tutorial was true, so without any resistance, they all joined hands and came to Qinghou.

Qinghou looked at Natasha and the others: "You should come too. We've been out for so long, we need to go back."

Miss 2B shook her head and walked to Wen Ming's side: "I want to stay by the boss's side."

"Don't worry about me, you guys go ahead, you'll be back in a few minutes, I'll be fine."

Wen Ming knew that Miss 2B was worried about him, so he hugged her, and she shyly disappeared from the spot.

Following 2B's disappearance, Natasha, Melina, and Index followed suit.

Seeing this amazing scene, Sephiroth and his companions became even more excited.

"Hurry up, let's go."

Before Qinghou's voice had even finished, everyone had vanished.

Seeing this, Wen Ming raised his eyebrows: "Looks like there are quite a few new employees."

Three minutes later, the group reappeared, each with a look of surprise on their face. Even Vincent, who loved to show off, couldn't maintain his composure: "We can go to a new universe?"

“You haven’t finished watching the tutorial yet, you idiot, you help them continue.”

After giving the instructions, Qinghou pointed to the few extra people behind her and said, "Boss, Selena says she has some information to report to you."

"What information?"

Wen Ming looked at Selena with a puzzled expression. Selena grinned and leaned closer, saying, "Your girlfriend Flora is going to give you a surprise. She bought a plane ticket for tomorrow to come see you."

"Find me?"

Wen Ming frowned: "It seems we need to speed things up. I'll go back and refresh the time."

When will this 3-day restriction be extended?

"I guess we'll have to wait until we get a few more time-space artifacts."

Qinghou shrugged, Wenming nodded, put on his Kryptonian glasses, and was about to head back to the Metaverse with Zack when he suddenly realized something was wrong: "Where's Angel?"

Only then did everyone realize that Angel was missing.

Qinghou laughed and said, "It seems he can rest assured and wait for the cradle of rebirth at the hotel."

Sephiroth and the others looked at Qinghou in surprise. Qinghou said, "He was destined to die in a few months. Now that he has gone to the hotel, he should be considered dead by the world will of this universe."

Remembering the hotel's rules, everyone gained another layer of understanding of the hotel's mystery.

Why is Zack still around?

Genesis's mind worked extremely fast. The Blue Queen smiled and explained, "His story isn't over yet, because he'll be captured by Hojo a year later, thrown into Mako liquid and soaked for four years, and then spend almost a year protecting Cloud back to Gaia."

In other words, he can stay in this world for another 6 years.

Zack grinned. "Now that I have a boss, I'm not going to go there and mess around with that stuff."

Fearing that Angel might get into trouble, Wen Ming quickly pulled Zack back to the hotel. As soon as they returned to the intersection, they saw Angel being watched by two little girls.

Are you cosplaying as Angel?

"That Destruction Sword you're carrying looks amazing, is it real? Did you have it forged by MS Swordsmith? You're really rich!"

"Haha, your wings look so fake, they're shedding feathers."

……

Angel was at a loss. This real man, who had never flinched even after being slashed dozens of times on the battlefield, was now almost in tears.

Fortunately, Wen Ming arrived in time, and Charon also quickly came out of the hotel.

"Wow, another cosplayer, is it Zack?"

"I cried for a long time when Zack died."

"But why does this Zack look so weathered? He looks like an old man! He's so old! The real person is definitely not as good as the original."

……

The conversation between the two little girls made Zack both happy and sad.

They recognized me immediately, but they were talking about their own death.

Do I really look haggard?
It must be because I've been doing too many tasks lately.

I'm not that old man Angel!
"They are professional cosplayers. If there is an opportunity in the future, they can come to our hotel to participate in a cosplay performance."

Wen Ming smiled and dismissed the two girls, then took out a new Kryptonian glasses and handed them to Angel: "You must wear these in the Metaverse from now on, and put away your Destruction Sword as well."

Charon, it's all yours now.

After saying that, Wen Ming pulled Zack back a step, and the two quickly disappeared from the spot.

Charon looked at the bewildered Angel and said with a smile, "It seems I'll have to prepare a new outfit for you. Are you used to wearing a suit?"

"Suit?"

Angel looked at Charon's clothes and shook his head: "Could you find me some looser clothes?"

"We have casual clothes too, but you'll have to put away your Destruction Sword and hand it over to me first."

Angel stared in astonishment as Charon pulled out a small capsule and swiftly made his beloved sword vanish into thin air: "What is this? Magic?"

"No, this is called technology. Come on, Hai will teach you all these lessons. Do you want to take a shower and rest for a bit?"

"Of course, thank you!" Angel smiled happily upon hearing that there would be a hot bath.

Since betraying Shinra, he's been living like a rat in the street and hasn't taken a bath in a long time.

"Can you fold your wings?"

"Sorry, I can't accept it yet."

"It seems you'll have to stay in the flying fortress. But the flying fortress will have to wait until the boss comes back to set it up. You'll just have to make do in your room for the next few days."

I can arrange a few field missions for you so you can get away and relax. Remember, always use the rooftop when entering or leaving the hotel.

"That's wonderful, thank you!"

……

Wenming returned to the Final Fantasy VII universe and looked at the waiting group, saying, "Now you may face Fira's interference at any time, pulling you back to your original fate."

Vincent and Lucy Lucia don't have much of a problem, since your main storyline won't trigger for several more years. You can choose to stay at the hotel permanently or continue living in seclusion on Mount Niebu.

Genesis, your storyline involves being defeated by Zack and then taken away by Weiss and Nero of the underground legion. However, you will also go into seclusion afterward, and you can make your own choices, just like the other two.

Therefore, the only troublesome ones are Sephiroth and Zack, as well as Cloud, the protagonist of the main series.

For the next few days, you guys go back to Shinra and pretend you know nothing, just like before. Once the Nibelheim quest is released, you take Cloud there and go through the whole story.

"Once the story ends, we'll destroy all of Shinra Corporation's Mako Reactors together."

At this point, Wenming looked at Sephiroth: "Would you mind killing Hojo?"

Sephiroth paused for a moment, then pondered quietly for a few minutes before shaking his head and saying, "He caused all this tragedy. If he had died a few years earlier, more people could have been spared from this disaster."

Wen Ming then said, "If you agree to kill him, you can free your mother and Vincent and complete the plot of 'Hell's Elegy' ahead of schedule."

Upon hearing this, Sephiroth immediately picked up his Masamune sword: "I'll go kill him right now."

Vincent wanted to say "I'll do it," but instead said, "Aren't you going to ask Lucia? Hojo is dead, she'll be sad."

Selena and the others all gaped open.

What the hell?

That's your number one rival in love!

If you kill him, wouldn't you be able to take over the position directly?
You actually thought that your goddess would be in pain after you killed him?
No wonder you could say something like, "As long as she's happy, I don't mind."

No wonder you haven't been able to touch the goddess's hand for over 20 years.

Wen Ming looked at Lucy Lucia, who only had her son on her mind, so she shook her head without hesitation: "I don't mind. I didn't expect his final plan to be to wipe out everyone on the entire planet."

Selena and the others looked at Sephiroth and really wanted to say that they were father and son, and that they had chosen the exact same path.

Sephiroth felt somewhat embarrassed when he saw the way the others were looking at him.

Falk.

I'm not that stupid guy who read fake books and drank fake alcohol.

……

Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, they immediately split up and took action.

After everyone left, Wen Ming instructed Qing Hou to send Yuan She back to the Yuan Universe so that she could impersonate him when needed.

This time I've been out for too long; it's not appropriate for me to keep hiding.

Selena and the other girls eagerly gathered around: "Boss, can this universe enhance us?"

"No, the main character is Zack, and the story is already more than halfway through. Angel has already defected to Shinra Company."

"Then can we replace Cloud? Anyway, the main storyline only needs a man who gets sent back to Midgar by Zack. I feel that you, boss, are more suitable to be the protagonist than that loser."

Selena said enthusiastically, "If we can make a replacement, we'll call all the hotel staff over to get a boost."

Wen Ming was both amused and exasperated: "How could that be? Claude is the destined male lead. You guys hurry up and get the magic crystals."

I just scanned Vincent's Primal Magic Crystal. There aren't many Primal Magic Crystals on the entire planet, only 5. You and Dizziness go find them, but don't take them all, because these were created by the planet to prolong its own life. Just take one.

Qinghou should also go. The location of the Primal Magic Crystal should be the location of the Chaos Matter. It would be best if we could find it. Remember to call Bulma, Zhao Hailun, and Erkins to study it and try to get our hands on the Chaos Matter.

"Little Goku, you can hone your martial arts skills by fighting the monsters on this planet."

"Boss, what about you?"

Upon hearing this, the group immediately prepared to split up. Selena's eyes darted around: "You're not going to look for Tifa or Alice, are you?"

Natasha and the others immediately distanced themselves from Selena: "Selena, are you possessed by Perkins?"

Selena quickly covered her mouth: "Oops, I let it slip! Boss, you can hit me now!"

"Then you can stay!"

Wen Ming's words immediately made Natasha and the others look on with amusement: "Will the boss use a whip?"

Selena was surprised that Wen Ming actually wanted to keep her, and she immediately became happy: "Not enough whips, it has to be an electric whip."

Natasha scoffed, "What's so fun about electric whips? Electric batons are the most exciting! I've been playing with them for days..."

Melina quickly covered Natasha's mouth and grabbed Qinghou's hand, urging, "Let's go quickly."

The sonic boom channel was activated immediately.

After the others left, Selena immediately threw herself into Wen Ming's arms: "Boss, did you miss me?" "No, I need you to help me steal something."

"Huh? Stealing things? I thought you missed me."

Although Catwoman said that, she quickly became itchy: "Boss, what do you want to steal? I haven't stolen anything in a long time."

Wen Ming looked up at the huge three-dimensional city: "The Shinra Corporation is incredibly wealthy. This is their headquarters, and also where all their good stuff is kept. Don't you have any ideas?"
"And magic crystals too. There must be a Shinra magic crystal warehouse here. Should we steal some?"

Shinra Corporation is exploiting the planet by draining its resources and conducting inhumane human experiments everywhere. Since such a company is doomed anyway, Wen Ming doesn't mind helping them dispose of some resources in advance.

"Boss, I love you so much! Let's go now!"

Catwoman's eyes suddenly lit up. She had been obediently working as a receptionist every day for the past few days, and she was almost going crazy with worry.

My hands itch so much every day that I scratch them, but I have to resist the urge.

Now Wen Ming is actually letting her have her way—no, stealing from her.

How could she possibly still stand? "Boss, if you let me have my way this time, I'll make sure you have the ecstasy you'll die from."

"Let's go! We only have three days. I need to go back in three days."

"Haha, Flora's sneak attack, right? Boss, you'd better act it out convincingly!"

"Shut up."

"Then you block it."

"With what?"

"A stun gun! I want to try it too!"

……

For three whole days, everyone at Shinra Corporation was practically going crazy.

First, a warehouse full of magic crystals was stolen, then several armories were emptied, dozens of military helicopters were lost, and the Shinra Bank's vault was completely emptied.

Most incredibly, they also stole thousands of the latest Shinra special forces combat uniforms.

This behavior of stealing everything left the Shinra Police Department completely baffled as to what the other party was trying to do.

However, this action also attracted the attention of the Shinra Company. All Shinra soldiers, including special forces, had their leave canceled and were determined to find out who stole so much stuff.

However, the other party was like a ghost, appearing and disappearing without a trace. Not only could they not catch them, they didn't even know how many thieves there were.

The vault door wasn't even damaged, yet all the gold inside had vanished without a trace.

Wherever the thief appeared, the surveillance cameras failed completely. Heidegger, the head of the security department, was severely reprimanded by the Shinra president, but still couldn't find the thief.

Fortunately, the frenzied theft finally came to an end three days later, and the Shinra Company was finally relieved. However, the huge losses made the Shinra Company's finances even more strained after the Five Platforms War.

Heidegger made a solemn pledge, promising to catch the damned thief within three days.

However, the thief he was so determined to catch has now returned to the metaverse, driving leisurely on a country road, while a beautiful blonde office lady sits in the passenger seat: "Isn't that a pleasant surprise?"

"Of course, I never expected you to come see me so suddenly."

With a big smile on his face, Wen Ming said happily, "To be honest, it's only been a few days, but I already miss the days when I made breakfast for you."

"Me too."

Flora smiled and said, "Have you decided where to go camping tonight? I'm so envious of the camping photos you send me every day."

"Of course we have to find a place with no signal."

Wen Ming glanced at the ringing phone on the center console and casually turned it off: "I suggest you turn yours off too."

"It absolutely has to be shut down. This time, no one can be allowed to bother us again!"

Flora also saw the name flashing on her phone, so without saying a word, she turned off her phone as well.

The two exchanged a smile, both noticing the burning passion in each other's eyes.

Wenming floored the accelerator and sped towards the campsite. When they arrived at the tent, Flora exclaimed joyfully, "Wow, there's such a beautiful lake!"

"It's a pity it's getting dark soon, otherwise I could go on a boat with you."

Wen Ming skillfully took out the charcoal stove, started a fire to burn charcoal, and then took out ingredients from the portable refrigerator to prepare a barbecue.

Flora sat on a camping chair, happily watching Wen Ming bustling around.

She hadn't seen Wen Ming working behind the scenes in the restaurant's open kitchen for a week. She thought she could wait, but she overestimated herself.

So she finally couldn't resist and took the initiative to come to him.

Screw it, take your time.

What red wine should we drink tonight?

"You are enough for me."

"You have two days and two nights to slowly savor this 22-year-old vintage red wine."

"Let's start with sobering up."

……

That night, the first autumn rain fell.

The summer heat was dispelled by the continuous drizzle. Miss 2B and Miss A2 sat in the jazz car, listening to music and whispering to each other as they looked at the tents swaying in the wind in the distance.

"Was that very enjoyable? This woman even flew in to do it with the boss."

"You'll be able to enjoy it soon too."

"The boss probably forgot."

"How could that be? Today is such an important day, the boss would never forget. You... you're here, I knew the boss wouldn't forget."

……

2B excitedly patted A2's arm, and A2 immediately sat up straight. Then she flung open the car door and rushed towards Wen Ming: "Boss, it's raining so hard, you..."

"Are you anxious?"

Wen Ming placed the umbrella over Miss A2's head, shielding her from the drizzling rain, and then reached out to wipe the rain off her face: "Why did you come out? I've already come all this way, and you're all soaked."

Miss A2 blushed slightly. She wanted to shake her head, but was afraid of splashing rainwater on Wen Ming: "I knew the boss would come."

"Come on, let my favorite A2 come to life."

Wen Ming raised his hand and a pure white energy appeared out of thin air in his hand. A2 looked at the pure white soul energy and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Am I finally going to become a complete life?

"Mmm... so comfortable..."

With the infusion of soul energy, A2 felt that the feeling described by Commander-in-Chief White and Miss 2B was not even one percent as strong as what she felt now.

No, one in a thousand.

"Boss, have I become a human?"

Miss A2 lay limp in Wenming's arms, so comfortable that she didn't want to get up at all. She had never felt so fulfilled and satisfied.

"We are not human, nor are we artificial humans, but a completely new race."

Miss 2B appeared beside the two of them at some point, smiling and saying, "Boss, why don't you give us a new race name?"

Wen Ming was surprised that 2B suddenly made this suggestion. After thinking for a moment, he said, "How about calling it Nifelin?"

"Nefrine?"

Miss 2B immediately understood the meaning of the word: "Nephilim, taken from the legendary 'being between gods and humans,' is the boss implying that we androids are destined to transcend the constraints of the creator?"
The YoRHa Force is essentially a 'fallen creation'—we are given a false mission, which is actually to cover up the truth that humanity has long been extinct. Yet we persist in fighting while deceiving ourselves, bearing the responsibility of the 'giants' level of civilization's survival with our insignificant bodies.

This mirrors Neferlin's existence as a 'deviant of divine will,' and resonates particularly with our tragic cycle of reincarnation.

Moreover, the pronunciation of this word is consistent with the naming system of the NieR series.

Boss, you're a genius! I love this name. What about you, A2?

“I like it very much too. We are the boss’s fallen angels, and all of us Neferin are the boss’s fallen angel legion.”

A2 stared at Wen Ming with a dazed look. Wen Ming wanted to say that he hadn't actually thought that much about it, and that he originally wanted to name them "Cyberpunk," but there were just too many cyberpunks.

But seeing how happy they both were, he didn't want to be so tactless: "Let's go rest in the car."

"boss."

Miss 2B suddenly leaned shyly closer to him and said in a voice that Miss A2 could just hear, "Was your time with Flora not very enjoyable?"

"?"

Miss A2 looked at 2B in surprise, "What are you talking about?"
Just as Wen Ming was about to say something, Miss 2B squatted down: "A2, didn't you just say you wanted to give it a try?"

"Huh? I didn't say that."

Miss A2's eyes immediately wandered away.

You idiot, when did you become so bold?

Does our program have such an item?

Oh no, we're Neferin now.

So is this your awakened racial talent?

Miss 2B took Miss A2's hand and with just a little force, A2 obediently squatted down: "Come on, I'll teach you. The boss trained me for a long time on the spaceship before I learned the right amount of force."

"What, force?"

Miss A2 was completely confused.

The continuous drizzle suddenly turned into a torrential downpour in the latter half of the night, lasting until sunrise before finally stopping.

At dawn, as the first rays of sunlight fell on the lake, Flora was awakened by a delicious aroma. She stretched lazily, got dressed, and stepped out of the tent, only to find Wen Ming already busy preparing breakfast for her.

Are all men in the Great Qian Dynasty this diligent?

"Pretty much. There are many people who are more diligent than me. I'm already considered quite lazy."

With a smile, Wenming placed a fried egg and a few slices of bacon in front of Flora, and then took the cooked red bean porridge from the campfire and brought it down.

The two nestled together, watching the rising sun, their hearts filled with contentment.

"I thought someone would come and bother me again."

"I bet Laura is still looking for us."

"Let her search freely. She's always been clinging to me since she was little."

"I want, too."

"Back to the tent?"

"Right here."

……

Wenming stayed by the lake all weekend and didn't go anywhere until Sunday night when he saw Flora off at the airport.

"Go on your road trip, don't rush back, those people are still causing trouble."

When Flora and Wenming kissed goodbye, she was somewhat reluctant to part, but she still told Wenming not to rush back: "This whole situation is very troublesome right now, and even my father and the others are not sure how to handle it."

However, it's all business. If you think it's profitable, don't hesitate, and don't worry about which side my father and I support.

In the United States, it's normal for a family to belong to several factions.

Of course, supporting the same thing is always better, so your resources won't be diluted.

"Thank you."

Wen Ming hugged Flora tightly, then waved goodbye to her.

Flora turned to look at Laura, who was pouting beside her: "Let's go, don't be late for work tomorrow."

"Damn it! I've been looking for you in the capital for two whole days and two nights! That's outrageous!"
You bought two tickets to different destinations! I can't believe you tricked me!

Laura stormed into the security checkpoint.

This operation ended in failure.

Furthermore, my boss isn't answering my calls anymore. Does he not have feelings for me?

……

After the twin sisters disappeared from sight, Wen Ming turned around and disappeared into the parking lot with a red-haired female secretary and two female bodyguards.

"Where is he? He's gone...uh..."

Two men in black suits hurriedly chased after Wen Ming into the parking lot, scanning the various vehicles for a chance to find him. Suddenly, something cold pressed against their backs: "Let's talk."

The two men in black suits quickly raised their hands: "Are we misunderstanding something? We're just... What? Fuck, where is this?"

The two men in black suits felt a sudden shift in their vision, and then a huge factory appeared before them.

In the brightly lit factory, more than a hundred women dressed in white combat uniforms stood in a row.

These women are blonde, blue-eyed, and have long legs; each one is more beautiful than the last.

Most importantly, these hundred-plus women were not only beautiful, but they also gave them a sense of familiarity.

The same breath.

No, it was an aura that far surpassed its own.

This is a strong player among its peers.

The question is, how can there be so many?
"Hi boss!"

Suddenly, hundreds of women bowed simultaneously in front of them, causing the two men in black suits to take a step back.

Whom are you calling boss?
Why does it feel like I've arrived in the Shang Dynasty of the Great Qian Kingdom?

A voice suddenly rang out from behind the two: "Hello, White Widows!"
