Wanjie Hotel: Iron Man is not allowed to charge

Chapter 248 Stellar Extraction Tower (8K views, please vote)
After receiving Wenming's orders, Starscream and Soundwave quickly retrieved the Matrix of Leadership from the pyramid, brought Megatron back to life from the trench, and then notified Fallen to come to Earth.

During this process, the news was "inadvertently" leaked to the Autobots, leading to the famous scene in "Transformers 2" where the three heroes fight the one pillar.

In the original storyline, Optimus Prime was incredibly powerful, protecting the male protagonist while also managing to destroy surfboards.

If she hadn't been distracted by looking for the male lead, she wouldn't have been killed by Megatron's sneak attack from behind.

Because Wen Ming obtained the AllSpark, and the protagonist did not inherit part of the AllSpark as in the original story, Optimus Prime can now focus on fighting the three Decepticons. Wen Ming does not want to cause any trouble, so he has Soundwave and the other Decepticons, who were lying in ambush, join in the beating.

"Tsk, I feel so evil."

Seeing Optimus Prime's chest pierced by Megatron's sword, Wen Ming couldn't help but stroke his chin: "This is Optimus Prime, the Autobot leader that so many people dream of."

Yuan Ying snorted from the side, "What kind of pillar brother is he? He would have to kneel down in front of me."

Yuan Bao chuckled and said, "Then go down and fight him one-on-one."

Yuan Ying immediately fell silent.

Optimus Prime's ferocity is unmatched by ordinary Transformers. Although Yuan Ying has undergone many enhancements and has always prayed to the AllSpark to become stronger, he is still a step behind Optimus Prime.

However, Yuan Ying didn't want to be looked down upon by the other Vajras, so he said, "Wait three months. After three months, I'll smash his head in."

Yuan Bao mocked without hesitation: "If you still can't beat Optimus Prime in three months, then you've really wasted all the resources the boss gave you."

Yuan Ying was furious and immediately wanted to fight Yuan Bao, but Yuan She suddenly said, "Shut up, everyone. If anyone disturbs the boss's viewing, I'll kick him off the stage."

"Huh? Little snake, you spoke?"

"..."

"Little snake, do you like this kind of thing? Kicking butts?"

"..."

"Little snake, you, ah—"

The noisy Yuan Ying was kicked away, and the Somersault Cloud instantly fell silent.

Yuan Long moved to where Yuan Ying had been standing: "There's much more space now, thank you, Yuan She."

"You're welcome."

Gwen watched this scene and couldn't stop laughing. The Super Girl sisters next to her looked helpless: "Every time we go out, Yuan Ying is like a chatterbox, he never stops talking."

"Karah, Camille, let's go to the pyramids and continue sunbathing."

Seeing that Optimus Prime was dead, Wen Ming put away the melon seeds and drinks, and used his brainwaves to control the Somersault Cloud to fly towards the pyramids.

Transformers 2 has virtually no plot to speak of.

In the first half, Brother Pillar is beaten to death by a group of people.

In the latter half, Optimus Prime is resurrected and returns, merging with Skyfire to become Skyfire Pillar, powerfully defeating the Fallen and scaring away Megatron and Starscream.

Overall, it's all about fighting and killing.

……

"Qinghou, go and crack the stellar extraction tower below, and see if you can obtain its technology."

The somersault cloud was extremely fast, and it arrived above the pyramids in just half an hour.

Qinghou chuckled: "Boss, since it's going to be destroyed by Optimus Prime anyway, I might as well just take it."

In the original storyline, the Stellar Extraction Tower was a massive machine used to extract stellar energy, which could extract energy cubes for the Transformers, making them stronger, more powerful, and longer-lived.

However, the Transformers have their own principles, which is not to use this machine on planets with life.

However, the Fallen violated this principle, which led to the main plot of Transformers 2.

Wen Ming thought for a moment, and it seemed that whether this thing was there or not wouldn't affect the final battle much: "Then let's remove it and put a holographic image there."

"Hehe, you've thought of everything, boss."

The Azure Queen transformed into a stream of azure-gold data and entered the pyramid directly. Wen Ming looked at the desert and the many pyramids standing there: "Melina, do you ever have the illusion that you are the Pharaoh's daughter?"

"Sorry, I really don't have any."

Melina naturally understood Wen Ming's joke; he was referring to the actor who played her, who had also starred in the "Mummy" film series.

In the Mummy series, the protagonist Evelyn is the reincarnation of the Pharaoh's daughter. Wen Ming mentioned this reference mainly to lighten the mood, but the next second, Qinghou's exclamation suddenly rang out:
"Boss, there's incredible power here! This stellar extraction tower has accumulated countless energy blocks over the past 19,000 years! My god! Come and see!"

Wen Ming was taken aback: "Doesn't the Stellar Extraction Tower require a leadership module to activate?"

"I don't know. Maybe it's because it's been so long that the machine started running automatically? Or maybe it's like a solar panel; even though it's not running at maximum power from the leader module, it's been running long enough to store a lot of energy?"

Qinghou was a little unsure, so Wenming didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he told Qinghou to open the sonic boom passage so they could go in.

However, just as Wen Ming and the others were about to walk out of the sonic boom tunnel and into the interior of the pyramid, the energy blocks stored in the stellar extraction tower suddenly erupted, and the sonic boom tunnel, which had not yet been closed, collided violently with this enormous energy.

The next second, the quantum bracelets on Wen Ming's arms suddenly emitted a strong purple light, and the three forces quickly merged together.

"No, hurry up..."

Just as Wen Ming was about to call everyone back to the hotel, the enormous energy formed a huge energy vortex, instantly pulling everyone into it.

"Boss? Boss?"

The anxious figure of the Queen appeared in the pyramid. She kept scanning around, but the only response she received was the clean echo from inside the pyramid and the unresponsive combat power detector.

"Okay, the boss must have started some kind of plot again."

Wen Ming had experienced this once before in the DC Universe, which took him directly to the Paradise Island timeline. This time, he didn't know where he had been teleported to.

Although Qinghou thought this way, she was quick to act. She swiftly collected the stellar extraction tower and the remaining energy blocks, and then placed a holographic imager on the ground.

"Red Spider, Soundwave, proceed according to plan. After killing the Fallen, continue to remain hidden."

Remember to secretly hide the leadership module.

The boss may have entered a hidden dimension within your universe, so try to avoid that pyramid during your battles.

"Has the boss started a new storyline?"

Upon hearing that Wen Ming had entered the hidden space-time, Red Spider and Soundwave's voices immediately became excited and joyful.

All the hotel staff knew that as long as the boss initiated the storyline, everyone would be able to be strengthened.

"It's not certain yet. I'll go back to the hotel and wait for the boss's message. You guys keep an eye on the boss's messages too. Soundwave, have Laserbeak come back to the hotel with me."

"Laserbird has set off."

……

Qing quickly returned to the hotel, only to find that Wen Ming had indeed not returned.

However, Qinghou was not in a hurry. Her super brain told her that the boss would definitely come back safely.

Putting everything else aside, his pair of quantum bracelets alone allow him to easily enter and exit countless dangerous places.

Not to mention that Wen Ming is protected by the Goddess of Junlin within his body.

The reason he hasn't returned is very likely the same as before: he must find the key plot character, and if he can't win them over, he may not be able to enter that timeline again.

With this in mind, Qinghou calmly informed Hill and Thomas that everything should proceed as usual.

In addition, she informed Hela, Carol, Frigga, the Ancient One, and others to prepare for the worst.

Hela was the first to arrive.

"Wen Ming has disappeared again?"

"It's highly likely that a new storyline is about to begin."

"take me!"

"We still haven't been able to get in touch with them?"

"I'll wait over there."

Qinghou raised her eyebrows; she could sense that Hela was different from before.

She was no longer concerned about the plot's progression; she was worried about her boss's safety and was extremely anxious about it.

"Carol will be here soon, you can come with her."

"What use is she? She doesn't know magic."

"Hehe, as long as I go to the Transformers universe, I can reach Wen Ming's side as soon as he uses the Quantum Bracelet. Can you do that?"

Hela was both amused and annoyed by Carol's taunts: "Believe it or not, I'll go back to Asgard right now and get the Space Stone to save him?"

"Then go get it!" Carroll challenged.

Hela was so angry that she turned around and was about to return to Universe 838. Qinghou quickly advised her, "You guys should hurry up and go to the Transformers universe. Maybe the boss will be back at the pyramids by the time you get there."

"Laser Bird, let's go."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hela's mood improved considerably: "I'll get you some good Asgardian engine oil later."

"Asgard has engine oil? My goodness, I must try it! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Laserbeak immediately transformed into a robotic dog, prompting Carol to scoff, "You're from 80 years in the future? Laserbeak, why have you become so stupid?"

Hela immediately glared at Carol.

Laserbeak paused for a moment, then realized that Hela couldn't return to Asgard yet, but he knew how to flatter: "Even oil from 80 years later is still good oil."

Hela felt relieved again and said smugly, "It's better than you, a penniless wretch."

Carol's breath hitched, and she felt a pang of pain in her heart.

No, I can't just save lives without making money.

The two had just left after their bickering when Frigga and Lucy Lucia arrived one after the other.

Lucy was noticeably different from last night; she was radiant and glowing, completely devoid of her previous gloomy demeanor.

But at this moment, her face was full of anxiety: "Wen Ming has disappeared?"

"It should just be the start of a new storyline. You can wait at the hotel or in the Transformers universe. I estimate we'll hear news soon."

Qinghou felt Lucy's heartfelt care for Wenming and quickly comforted her. Frigga, who was standing nearby, also breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's wait at the hotel. If he gets out of trouble, he will definitely go back to the hotel as soon as possible."

“Then I’ll go to the rooftop. He’s been enjoying going up to the rooftop lately.”

Lucy immediately rushed to the rooftop of Building 1, and Frigga got up and followed.

Soon, more employees arrived after hearing the news, their faces showing not only excitement but also deep worry.

Over time, everyone's feelings for Wen Ming have grown stronger.

Everyone was genuinely concerned about Wen Ming's safety.

After calming everyone down, Qinghou told them to prepare to participate in the storyline.

"I'm guessing the boss has entered the ancient universe era of Transformers and is probably going to have a showdown with Unicron and Primus."

"The creator of the Transformers universe is an entity from another dimension. He created Unicron and Primus. Do you think this creator might be the boss?"

"It shouldn't be that far into the past, and why hasn't anyone connected it to the pyramids? I guess the boss has entered the Mummy universe."

……

At the Seventh Heaven Bar, more and more employees and time travelers gathered, all discussing where Wen Ming had gone.

Tifa and Salvador quickly poured and served drinks for everyone, while cover girl Connie also helped out at the bar.

Amidst her busy schedule, Tifa asked Salvador with concern, "Is the boss really alright?"

"You have to trust the boss, the boss is a god!"

Salvador's eyes shone with adoration and fervor for Wenming: "He only needs a thought to come back."

"I hope he's safe and sound."

Tifa felt more confident after hearing what Salvador said.

Just then, she saw Alice enter the bar, and she quickly brought Alice a glass of juice: "What are you doing here?"

"I'm wondering whether I should use my ability to pray for Wenming."

Alice's eyes were filled with deep worry: "But after I left Gaia, my magical power was greatly diminished."

Connie, the cover girl who was busy serving drinks, turned around and smiled, "Then why don't we go and pray to the divine beast White Tiger? We can pray to it to learn black magic now."

"Yup!"

Alice's eyes lit up, and Tifa perked up too: "Shall we go together?"

"go together!"

The two women hurried through the sonic boom tunnel to the rooftop of Building 1, only to find that a group of people were already praying there.

"Hi, Alice, Tifa, are you here to learn dark magic too?"

Index and Misaka Mikoto waved to the two of them, and Yelena and Antonia also stopped praying and looked at the two of them.

Alice was a little surprised: "Why are there so many people?" "Everyone is worried about Dad!"

"The mutant Wanda said, shaking his head."

"dad?"

Tifa and Alice looked at Little Wanda in surprise, while Little Quicksilver chimed in, "It's Dad. Wenming treats us better than our own dads."

Jean Grey nodded vigorously: "That's right, I feel like Wen Ming is our real father."

Although Marvel Wanda and Marvel Quicksilver didn't say anything, their little faces conveyed the same meaning.

Tifa and Alice immediately understood that in the hearts of these little ones, Wenming had replaced their parents.

It has to be said that Wen Ming is extremely popular.

"We want to pray to the White Tiger and ask about Wenming's safety."

Alice knelt down beside the mutant Wanda, who shook her head and said, "I asked her, but she ignored me."

"Ignore you? I'll try."

Alice clasped her hands together in front of her chest and began to pray to the white tiger.

However, she could only sense the surging power and powerful dark magic inheritance in the white tiger, but she could not sense any consciousness in the white tiger at all.

This disappointed her, so she exited the prayer state and shook her head at Tifa and the others.

"It's okay, you have to trust your dad."

Jean Grey comforted Alice, saying, "He certainly won't disappear for five years like Zack did."

She then looked at Tifa and said, "Don't worry, Dad will definitely not stay away for seven or eight years without coming back to see you, or even dare to acknowledge you when we meet."

Alice was startled. She looked at Jean Grey in disbelief, never expecting that this little girl could guess her worries.

Tifa clenched her fist and placed it on her chest. How could Jean Grey possibly guess her inner thoughts and concerns?
Jean Grey winked at Alice and Tifa and said, "Dad has never broken a promise."

Alice and Tifa exchanged a glance, and the weight on their hearts eased slightly.

The two of them couldn't help but laugh: "If you call him 'Dad,' will Wen Ming answer?"

The five little ones shook their heads in unison, and then, the mutant Wanda and Marvel Wanda together waved their little fists:

"One day, I'll make him like calling me Dad!"

Jean Grey retorted, "Sooner or later, I'll be calling him 'Daddy' all the time."

Alice and Tifa smiled knowingly.

Wen Ming would definitely be unhappy if he heard that.

……

"Bah bah bah."

Yuan Ying spat out the sand in his mouth with a look of disgust, then scanned his surroundings and asked, "Boss? Where are we?"

"Most likely, it's still inside the pyramids."

Wen Ming looked up at the vast space they were in, making some guesses, but he didn't rush to explore. Instead, he looked at Gwen, Melina, and the Supergirl sisters: "Are you injured?"

Gwen felt a warmth in her heart: "No, I'm fine."

Melina shook her head, and the Super Girl sisters said with a smile, "We're fine too, Wen Ming, have we triggered a new plot?"

"It's hard to say."

Wen Ming looked at 2B, A2, and Yuan She, and after confirming that no one was injured, he ordered, "Yuan She, go out and check first."

The primordial snake immediately transformed into a pool of silvery metallic liquid, quickly traversing the ground before finding a crack and slipping out.

"Boss, it's a desert outside, there's no one there, you can come out directly."

With a loud bang, A2 blasted a pedestrian passage through the pyramid, and a huge wave of heat rushed out, with the sun blazing down outside.

"Yuan She, you and Yuan Long go together to find human society and determine what kind of time and space this is."

Looking at the endless desert and the sweltering heat outside, Wen Ming decisively took a step back and returned to the pyramid.

It's too sunny.

I need to consider Gwen and Melina's skin.

I'm such a good boss.

"Kara, Camille, go sunbathe."

The Super Girl sisters immediately cheered and rushed out.

The sun was so scorching hot that Wenming, Gwen, and Melina didn't like it, but the two of them loved it.

"Yuan Bao, you and Yuan Ying go inside the pyramid to look for clues. Scan all the murals here, compare them with the database, and find out whose tomb this is."

Yuan Ying immediately objected: "Boss, why can't I go on the mission with Yuan She?"

Wen Ming patted Yuan Ying's head: "That's because I need you more by my side."

Yuan Ying was immediately delighted: "I told you I was the most important Transformer. Boss, just you wait, I'll dig the mummy out for you soon."

After everyone had left, Wenming looked at Gwen: "Are you scared? Do you want to go back to the hotel first?"

"I'm not afraid."

Gwen looked at Wen Ming with excitement: "I didn't expect that my first time coming out with you would result in such an amazing experience. It's so much fun!"

Melina laughed from the side, "You're really lucky. You know, when the boss first initiated the Indiana Jones storyline, I couldn't participate at all."

Gwen's face was flushed, full of happiness and anticipation, wondering what exciting stories would unfold next.

Yuan She and Yuan Long were very fast. Wen Ming had just set up the beach chairs and had a cup of tea with Gwen and Melina when they came rushing back: "Boss, it's confirmed, the time is 1926."

"Year 1926?"

Wen Ming carefully recalled the timeline, and then, thinking of the pyramids, he couldn't help but look at Melina: "Melina, do you really not have the illusion that you are the Pharaoh's daughter?"

Melina shook her head in denial again, but she was also a very clever person and quickly guessed what it meant: "You mean, we've entered the Mummy universe?"

"It's not certain yet, but the only time I can think of is 1926, when Evelyn and her brother Jonathan found the protagonist O'Connor and went to Hamunaptra to find the Book of the Dead, accidentally resurrecting Imhotep, the ancient high priest who had been mummified and sealed away for three thousand years."

As Wen Ming was explaining, Yuan Bao and Yuan Ying rushed out of the pyramid: "Boss, there's nothing special about this pyramid, but look what we found!"

Wen Ming looked up and saw that Yuan Bao was holding the key to the black box that could open the "Book of the Dead".

Wen Ming reached out and took the black box, twisting it in Evelyn's manner. With a whoosh, the black box popped open, revealing a map leading to Hamunaptra.

"What a coincidence?"

Wen Ming opened the map, instructed Yuan She to scan it, and then put the map back. Yuan Ying, who was standing next to him, excitedly asked, "Boss, does this count as actively starting a new storyline?"

"It's hard to say, after all, this key is just a key prop."

Another person who was able to find Hamunaptra was the male protagonist, O'Connor.

Wen Ming carefully considered the matter: "Now that Evelyn's brother Jonathan hasn't bought the black box from the black market, it proves that the plot hasn't officially started yet. If we can find a way to join Evelyn's treasure hunt team, then we can participate in the plot."

etc……"

Wen Ming recalled the plot again and suddenly realized something was wrong. Melina also reminded him, "This box was not bought by Jonathan from the black market, but stolen by Jonathan from O'Connor."

"So, it's still a long way from when the plot begins, which means that O'Connor hasn't been arrested and sentenced to death yet."

Wen Ming thought for a moment and then instructed, "Yuan She, first make a complete replica of this box."

"Replica complete."

The serpent stretched out its right hand, which quickly transformed into a silver-white octagonal key.

As if dissatisfied with the color, Yuan She glanced at her right hand, and the silver-white octagonal key immediately turned black.

"Perfect!"

Wen Ming gave a thumbs-up, then ordered, "Let's go to the museum and see if Evelyn is working as a librarian there."

The group walked out of the pyramid and quickly rode the somersault cloud to the sky above the museum. Wen Ming, along with Yuan She, Gwen and Melina, descended from the sky.

As soon as she landed, a man in a white suit shouted at Melina, "Evelyn, Evelyn, have you found any new mummies lately?"
Let me tell you, mummies are selling like hotcakes in Britain right now, and a lot of people are eating them.

"You should quit your job; let's go dig up mummies."

Wen Ming never expected to run into Evelyn's brother Jonathan as soon as he arrived here; one could only say that his luck was second only to the Pope.

“This isn’t Evelyn, but I’d love to go with you to dig up mummies.”

"Not Evelyn?"

Jonathan looked at Melina with suspicion, and when he realized that she wasn't his sister, he was even more surprised: "Do I have a sister? No, that's not right. How come I didn't know? Are you here to claim the inheritance?"
"Hey, you just said you wanted to team up with me to dig up mummies?"

"Of course, would you like to go? But I need your sister to be my translator."

The Queen of the Blues wasn't by her side, and the Green Snakes, the Transformers, and 2B didn't have backups of the ancient Pharaoh language data. Although the combat power detector could translate, when it came to profound knowledge of Pharaoh, mummy history, and culture, the female protagonist Evelyn was the one who truly excelled.

There is no ancient script she cannot read, no mystery she cannot solve.

Upon hearing Wen Ming's praise of his sister, Jonathan immediately became smug: "That's right, my sister is indeed an expert in this field. You have a good eye."

No wonder you found a girlfriend who looks just like my sister. It's so strange, why would they look exactly alike? Are you sure you're not here to claim our family fortune?
I warn you, only my sister Evelyn and I are entitled to inherit the family fortune.

"Jonathan? Who are you talking to?"

Hearing the commotion outside, a beautiful figure emerged from the library. The moment Gwen saw the person, she couldn't help but cover her mouth: "They look exactly alike!"

The other person was wearing a simple and elegant white striped shirt, paired with a soft khaki long skirt, which swayed gently with her movements.

In this city of endless yellow sand, she is like a beautiful English rose, quietly blooming with her own beauty and fragrance.

Evelyn's hair was casually tied up in a bun, with a few stray strands falling gently beside her forehead, adding a touch of unruliness.

His deep, captivating emerald eyes, like the brightest stars in the night sky, sparkled with a thirst for knowledge and boundless imagination about the unknown world.

Her fair skin appeared even softer under the sunlight; at such a tender age, her skin looked so supple it seemed as if it could be pinched to release moisture.

Unlike Melina's weathered eyes, hers sparkled with innocence and curiosity about the world, yet also contained a profound depth of knowledge.

Those eyes alone are enough to make anyone fall for them.

Evelyn was somewhat curious when she saw the group of people outside, but when she saw Melina, she gasped in surprise: "What?"

She couldn't believe what she was seeing, but there was indeed someone standing opposite her who looked exactly like her. Apart from the clothes and hairstyle, the other person was clearly a carbon copy of herself.

If there is any difference, the other person's temperament is clearly more noble, mature and charming.

One is still in bud, the other is already in full bloom.

Melina was also somewhat surprised. Even though she already knew of the other person's existence, she still felt a sense of wonder when she actually saw someone who looked exactly like her standing in front of her.

Jonathan walked over to his sister, looked her over carefully, then turned to look at Melina closely, and scratched his head: "Evelyn, are you sure you don't have a twin sister?"

Thanks to the powerful capabilities of the medical pod and the beauty-enhancing properties of the Myostar Pearl, Melina appears much younger than her actual age. Moreover, she is from the year 2000, so she is not very old at this time either. Therefore, if you don't look closely, she and Evelyn are practically identical.

“Jonathan! How could I possibly have a twin sister?”

Shocked, Evelyn loudly retorted to her unreliable brother, "Weren't you at home when I was born?"

Jonathan scratched his head and had to change the subject: "They said they want to go with me to dig for mummies, but they want you to be their translator. As for the payment, oh right, you haven't mentioned the payment yet!"

Wen Ming smiled and took out a gold bar from his pocket. Jonathan's eyes lit up immediately, and he rushed over excitedly. However, Wen Ming gently raised his hand, dodging the other man, and then placed the gold bar in Evelyn's small hand: "This is your reward deposit. With this, you should be able to study the history you like."

"Thank you."

Evelyn then shifted her gaze from Melina to Wen Ming, and when she saw his gentle smile, her heart skipped a beat for a few seconds.

How could he be so handsome?

Where do you want to dig up mummies?

Evelyn put away the gold bars under Jonathan's gleaming gaze, then looked up at Wen Ming.

"Have you heard of Hamunaptra?" Wen Ming smiled slightly.

"Hamunata? Good heavens, you're going to that legendary city of the dead?"

Evelyn's mouth dropped open, her eyes filled with surprise, and a blush even appeared on her face.

Melina understood that Evelyn was the opposite of herself; she was born with an adventurous spirit.

The City of the Dead was more alluring to her than the gold bar was to Jonathan.

"So, how about it? Interested in joining?"

Wen Ming extended his hand to the other person.

Without saying a word, Evelyn grasped Wen Ming's hand and held it tightly: "I do!"
