Wanjie Hotel: Iron Man is not allowed to charge

Chapter 276 Time-Space Seal! (8K views, please vote with double monthly tickets)
Who is the person most familiar with Wen Ming?

It might have been the Queen of the Green before, but now it's Minerva.

Minerva noticed that something was wrong with Wen Ming, released the golden spear in her hand, and appeared beside Wen Ming in a flash. She looked at Wen Ming nervously.

All the employees present looked at Wen Ming in surprise, and the time travelers were also somewhat puzzled.

what's the situation?
Is Wen Ming planning to target Misaka Mikoto's mother?
No, Misaka Mikoto's father is still alive.

She's not a widow.

She is a married woman.

Mr. Wen, have you changed your taste?
Just as everyone was wondering, the Ancient One, who had fought alongside Wen Ming several times, realized what was going on and her eyes suddenly turned to Misaka Mirei: "This queen is so cunning."

"That's right, she actually separated a part of her divine soul and merged it into Misaka Mirei's soul."

Upon hearing Wen Ming's words, Misaka Mikoto finally realized what was going on. She looked at Wen Ming anxiously: "What should we do? Is there any way to save my mother?"

"It's not a big problem."

Wen Ming suddenly looked at Selena, who was petting a cat: "Come on, you know all of Imhotep's spells, let's test if you've been slacking off lately."

Selena pointed at herself in astonishment: "Me?"

"Correct!"

Selena then remembered that she had inherited Imhotep's magic and spells. She happily handed Midnight and Buster to Sarah, who was standing to the side, and then walked up to Misaka Mirei.

When she saw that the other person was still trying to kiss Wen Ming, Selena's eyes lit up. She said, "You have to help me suppress her body and prevent her from suddenly rushing up and interrupting my spell."

"Don't worry, I've already suppressed her."

Wen Ming gripped Misaka Mirei's head tightly with both hands to prevent her from moving. Selena recalled the relevant incantation and then quickly began to chant it.

"...The soul returns to its own body, it is no longer mine, it cannot remain..."

As Selena activated her magic, Misaka Mikoto, who was pouting and looking for a kiss, suddenly let out a painful wail. The voice of the goddess Hera also rang out from Misaka Mikoto's mouth: "You are so cruel. You don't even spare my last soul. Zeus will definitely find this space by following the beacon I left behind."

"Let them come, just kill them!"

Wen Ming snorted, "Anyway, Hades has already been killed, so the feud is already settled."

Queen Hera was filled with despair.

She knew that her status as a goddess, which she had always been proud of, and the power of Zeus were not taken seriously by the other party at all.

"who are you?"

"Me? A nobody."

Wen Ming chuckled as he looked at Hera: "You're trying to curse me before you die, aren't you? Don't bother, save your energy for my goddesses to absorb."

Empress Hera looked at Wen Ming in utter shock. She never expected that he would guess her last move.

In despair, her soul could no longer resist Selena's magic and was forcibly ripped from Misaka Mirei's soul.

With lightning speed, the Ancient One caught the last fragment of the soul in her hand, refined its consciousness and emotions, turning it into the purest soul sphere, and then handed it to Wen Ming.

Wen Ming casually pressed Misaka Mirei's forehead back: "Wake up!"

Misaka Mirei's eyes flickered, then she excitedly called out to Wen Ming, "Handsome boy, let's continue! These past few days, we've had so much fun... um..."

Misaka Mikoto quickly covered Misaka Mirei's mouth, and she blushed as she expressed her gratitude to everyone: "Thank you everyone for saving my mother, thank you, Wenming."

“This is what we should do. After all, it was because of my negligence that I didn’t tattoo the ‘forbid demon possession’ spell on your mother, which allowed Hera to take over her body.”

The "Forbidden Demon Possession" incantation is a tattoo that every Witcher in Supernatural wears to prevent demons from possessing them.

After confirming that Lilith was a demon from Supernatural, Wen Ming ordered all hotel staff and time travelers to have the "Prohibit Demon Possession" spell symbol tattooed on their bodies.

Even the Transformers have this spell symbol engraved on their bodies.

However, Misaka Mirei was a newcomer. After being taken to the hotel by Misaka Mikoto, she was immediately taken to Paradise Island to soak in hot springs and drink beer, without completing any newcomer training.

This led to Hera, the Queen of Gods, finding an opportunity to possess someone.

She is different from the learned one last time. The learned one used the Mind Stone to hide inside Aegis. That time, the smuggling used the power of the Infinity Stones, and Aegis was not from the Metaverse. He was brought back directly by Wen Ming.

Misaka Mikoto naturally understood this, but she shook her head frantically and said, "It's not your fault. I was too eager to bring Mom to the hotel, and you only agreed to let Mom come to the hotel because you meant well."

Wen Ming released Misaka Mirei and was about to raise his hand to rub Misaka Mikoto's head when Misaka Mirei's body suddenly went limp in his arms.

Wen Ming quickly reached out and hugged Misaka Mirei. Doctor Bertha rushed over and examined her carefully, saying, "It seems that after being possessed, her soul energy was consumed too much. Boss, you just replenished her soul energy, which caused her soul to be overburdened in a short period of time."

Just get some sleep.”

"That's good!"

Misaka Mikoto breathed a sigh of relief and was about to step forward to take her mother when she found that her mother was clinging tightly to Wen Ming's clothes. She could only blush and ask, "Please help me take my mother back to her room."

"This is what I should do."

Wen Ming scooped up Misaka Mirei in his arms, nodded to the Ancient One, and the Ancient One immediately opened the Mirror Dimension, and the Plaza of Building Three reappeared before everyone.

"The alert level has been lowered by one level. Zeus could come at any moment. The security alert must not be lifted without my order."

Hela, you must return to Asgard now and continue to enhance your power, awaiting my call at any time.

Wen Ming gave some instructions to everyone, then strode towards Misaka Mikoto's room.

Hela watched Wen Ming's retreating figure, then suddenly turned to Hela in Universe 838: "Let's go, let's release your true form together."

"Aren't we going together with Wen Ming?" Hela from Universe 838 looked at Hela from the main universe with a puzzled expression. "Didn't we agree to take down the mother of Universe 838 first, and then release the main body?"

"Let's not wait any longer. Zeus could arrive at any moment. We'll handle this small matter ourselves."

Hela is a decisive and efficient person; she will not allow DC's Old Gods like Hades and Hera to threaten Wenming's life time and time again.

Hela from Universe 838 has the same personality as her. Once they made up their minds, the two sisters immediately disappeared from the spot.

Meanwhile, Queen Hippolyta and the others continued to absorb the divine power of the Queen of Gods. Even though the Queen of Gods was powerful, she could not withstand such absorption, and her divine power was soon completely consumed by the others.

Rebecca also collected a sufficient number of blood and tissue samples at the same time.

Hela's body instantly transformed into countless points of light and dissipated within the hotel.

However, before those points of light had completely disappeared, a strong suction suddenly came from the direction of Building 1. The points of light surged toward Building 1 almost simultaneously, and the next second, several bolts of lightning appeared on the body of the divine beast White Tiger.

……

"Don't worry, your mother will be fine after a nap. You go and rest for a while."

Wen Ming put Misaka Mikoto on the bed, but just like Lucysia last time, Misaka Mikoto clung tightly to Wen Ming's clothes and wouldn't let go. Wen Ming had no choice but to persuade Misaka Mikoto, who had been worried for half a day, to go and get a room to rest.

"Thank you!"

Misaka Mikoto looked into Wen Ming's eyes, feeling deeply moved.

She saved her mother twice.

Wen Ming rubbed her head, and Misaka Mikoto immediately squinted her eyes comfortably, then slumped into his arms: "I will repay you properly."

Wen Ming smiled and said, "You know I don't care about these things."

"I care!"

Misaka Mikoto raised her head, suddenly hugged Wen Ming's forehead and kissed him, then ran out blushing: "I will definitely repay you properly."

Wen Ming shook his head and chuckled. He looked down at Misaka Mirei's face, which was almost identical to Misaka Mikoto's, and couldn't help but praise, "God really loves you two, mother and daughter."

"Is it?"

Misaka Mirei suddenly opened her eyes and winked playfully at Wen Ming: "I feel like you love us more than God does."

Wen Ming was taken aback: "You're pretending to be asleep?"

"No, I just woke up," Misaka Mirei denied outright.

Wen Ming looked at her suspiciously, and Misaka Mirei quickly sat up to cover up her unease.

"Thank you, handsome young man. Are you tired? Let me give you a massage."

"Would you like a drink? Have a drink with me, I was just frightened and need to calm down."

"Mikoto said your chicken soup is really delicious. Can I have some?"

……

Early the next morning, Wen Ming raised his head from Queen Semira's mountain peak, feeling suffocated after being confined all night.

After a quick shower and a loving breakfast prepared by Tifa, Wenming knocked on Peggy Carter's door.

Seeing Wen Ming arrive, Peggy happily opened the door: "Want to come to my place today?"

"Are you anxious?"

Wen Ming walked into the house, and Malena also came out of the bathroom.

She was wearing the same silk pajamas as Peggy, exuding a languid and alluring charm that gave Wen Ming a clearer understanding of the term "Ball Flower": "Did you two sleep together last night?"

"Isn't this what I've been waiting for you?"

Malena blushed slightly, Peggy's eyes darted around, and Wen Ming felt a little dizzy: "I got up a bit early today, I want to go back to sleep."

"Oh? You're not feeling well? Then come quickly."

Malena quickly got up and helped Wen Ming, who immediately found a comfortable pillow: "Let's go to Universe 838 first, and sleep together there."

"it is good."

……

In Universe 838, World War II is drawing to a close.

After Red Skull's death, Mustache lost access to advanced weapons and cutting-edge technology, and his defeat became increasingly apparent.

Wen Ming came here to verify one thing—whether Peggy would receive a plot enhancement.

Unlike the others, Peggy, despite being an important character in the story, doesn't have her own standalone movie; everything about her is simply a female version of Steve.

Even Peggy herself didn't have high hopes: "I feel that instead of hoping for the plot to be strengthened, it's better to get my hands on all of Mustache's treasures."

Malena giggled from the side, "Why are you so greedy now?"

Peggy snorted, "You're a little rich girl now, Wen Ming spoils you rotten, I want to save up some dowry too."

Malena chuckled immediately: "So eager to get married? Boss, you're so lucky."

Peggy glanced back at Wen Ming quickly, and immediately received a response.

Feeling the heat behind her, Peggy couldn't help but swoon: "We have to hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"Don't worry, I'm always quick!"
"2B, A2, you two go. Remember to find all the documents related to their hidden treasure and secret base first."

"Don't worry, boss!"

2B and A2 descended from the sky, quickly rushing towards the command headquarters. Wen Ming, supporting Peggy, looked down through the spaceship's huge floor-to-ceiling windows: "Now there's no rush, right?"

Peggy, pressed against the window, and together with Malena, turned into four round discs: "You're not here to help me complete the plot, you're here on vacation."

"Don't you like it?"

"I love it! More, more, more times!"

"it is good!"

……

Wen Ming came to Universe 838 just for a vacation.

He's been too tired lately, busy with things in various universes every day, which has left him feeling mentally exhausted.

As his personal secretary, Malena naturally knew how tired Wen Ming had been lately, so she tried all sorts of ways to help him relax.

Peggy was a little reserved at first, but she quickly gave up. As more and more people entered the hotel, she had less and less time to be alone with Wen Ming. If she didn't seize the opportunity, someone else would definitely take it away from her.

The three of them slept for more than three hours after their nap. When Malena and Peggy were full and slumped on the spaceship, a violent tremor made them scream again.

"Wow, here comes the enhancement!"

"My God, my God, this is so awesome! It's a full-body enhancement!"

"Wen Ming, I've become stronger again! My God, I love you to death! You're my god!"

……

Peggy was already exhausted, but this boost made her feel like she was fully charged, allowing her to turn the tables once again.

Wen Ming looked up at the rapidly bouncing balloon and smiled happily: "It seems that you are not anyone's appendage, nor anyone's copy. You are also the leading lady."

"Then you'll be my leading man!"

Peggy leaned down and kissed Wenming passionately.

The enhancement wasn't what made her happiest; rather, it was the enhancement that made her long-standing worries vanish.

Wen Ming's words were the words she most wanted to hear.

I'm the female lead too!
No one wants to be merely an appendage or copy of someone else, nor do they want to be just a substitute for someone else's parallel universe. Everyone wants their own universe to become the main universe.

Peggy isn't a saint; it's perfectly normal for her to have such thoughts.

The three of them fussed around for several more hours before finally relaxing and chatting together.

"Wen Ming, now that you've already taken action against the Celestials of the main universe, why don't you also take action against the Celestials of this universe?"

After receiving the enhancement, Peggy's highly strategic mind immediately began devising new and good ideas for her boss.

Upon hearing this, Wen Ming's heart stirred.

Indeed, since the Celestials have already extracted their own energy, why should the Celestials of this universe waste their energy here?

Thinking of this, Wen Ming hugged Peggy's head and gave her a big kiss: "I'll arrange for Megatron and the others to start stealing, no, extracting Thiam's energy."

Peggy smiled and said, "This time we didn't alert the Eternals, so we should be able to get more, right?"

"Take as much as you can."

Wen Ming snapped his fingers, and Qinghou immediately disappeared from the spaceship. Soon after, Megatron, leading all the Decepticons and Autobots, stormed underground and arrived at Tiem's ​​side. The Stellar Extraction Tower immediately went into full power.

"This is so awesome! I've lived for tens of thousands of years, and this is the first time I've obtained energy blocks so easily! Following the boss is great!"

Red Spider watched as one energy cube after another was rapidly produced, dancing with excitement.

Megatron's eyes also revealed undisguised excitement and joy.

It's so great not having those idiots like Optimus Prime causing trouble!
"Boss, how about we get two, no, three Stellar Extraction Towers?"

Soundwave was smarter than Megatron and Starscream, and its rhythmic voice rang out: "The Stellar Extraction Tower has been conquered and replicated by Blue Queen and Bulma. We can definitely speed things up."

Wen Ming shook his head and said, "No, if we exhaust our resources, we will easily attract the attention of Aristom. Our goal is not to kill Thiam, but to continuously obtain more energy."

We must fire stealthily, taking a gradual and persistent approach.

Laser Bird immediately chimed in, "That's right, the Iron Hotel is all about stability!"

Malena frowned and said, "Boss, you're here on vacation, why are you so busy again?"

Upon hearing this, Red Spider immediately chimed in, "Oh? The secretary is feeling sorry for the boss?"

Malena didn't seem to care at all: "Yes, I just feel sorry for the boss. He came here to rest, but he was still disturbed."

The robot dog immediately said, "Boss, leave this to us. Trust us, we will definitely not let anyone find out what we've been doing here."

"You can't do it on your own."

Wen Ming was deeply touched by Malena's thoughtfulness, but still ordered, "El Salvador and his mutant squad will stay here with you. If you encounter any Eternals, don't linger in battle; just leave."

"Please rest assured, boss!"

Megatron respectfully saw Wen Ming off, then looked at Starscream and Soundwave, while Laserbeak and the robot dog were completely ignored by him.

Starscream, unfazed by Megatron's glare, said, "What are you looking at? After the start of the third movie, I'll be a full-time employee at the hotel. You won't be in charge of telling the Transformers who to do what I want anymore."

Megatron nodded and said, "Indeed. However, I can beat you up."

Red Spider chuckled: "Do you know what the biggest difference is between a time traveler and a hotel employee?"

"What is it?" Megatron looked at Starscream with a puzzled expression.

Red Spider laughed and said, "I can send you back to the hotel anytime and then enter various universes at any time, while you can only obediently wait for me in the hotel for 5 days."

Megatron remained silent.

Starscream smiled even more smugly.

Finally, I don't have to be at Megatron's mercy anymore!

From now on, I'll be the boss of the Iron Hotel's Transformers!

"Then I'll postpone the plot of Transformers 3 and beat you up a few more times during this period."

"what?"

"After the Transformers series ends, I will choose to permanently join the metaverse, and then I can continue to beat them up."

"what?"

"I can also place an order at the Iron Hotel to beat you up."

"what?"

“I can also have someone guide me to track you down; wherever you go, I will go.”

"Great Megatron, you are the greatest Transformer besides the boss, and you will definitely be the next God of Transformers!"

"continue."

……

The end of Peggy Carter's storyline, and the resulting enhancements, thrilled everyone in the Marvel Superhero Council.

This means that as long as Peggy Carter continues to complete the storyline, she is very likely to bring additional story enhancements to everyone.

And this possibility is as high as 95%.

Peggy Carter, who was originally a marginal figure, suddenly became very important.

Relatively speaking, Malena remains a dispensable character.

But Malena didn't care.

She only had eyes for Wen Ming.

All she wants now is for Wen Ming to get a good rest.

To avoid disturbing Wen Ming, Malena had a brilliant idea and, together with Peggy, accompanied Wen Ming to Lara's universe—Tomb Raider.

Laura was naturally delighted by Wen Ming's arrival, as this was his first time visiting her universe. So she hosted a grand welcome dinner in her castle—for just the two of them.

"Have you been very busy lately?"

After finishing dinner, Wen Ming put his arm around Laura and sat on the roof of the castle, looking at the bright moon in the sky.

Laura rested her head on Wenming's shoulder, her face full of helplessness: "I want to save my parents, but for some reason, this universe can't start the time machine."

It's as if, as if there's a mysterious force that has sealed off the power of time here.

I've been busy lately searching for ancient texts, trying to find out why we can't go back in time.

"Can't we go back to the past?"

Wen Ming looked at Laura in astonishment; this was the first time he had encountered a universe where it was impossible to return to the past.

Although Wen Ming wouldn't use the time machine casually, he was never stingy with time travelers who were close to him.

"I'm sorry, I haven't been paying enough attention to you lately."

Wen Ming looked down at Laura, who shook her head and said, "I'm used to handling things myself."

Wen Ming was silent for a moment before saying, "Could it be because you got the Divine Light Triangle to the Iron Hotel?"

"It's hard to say, but I don't think so."

While the Divine Light Triangle possesses powerful spacetime forces, it could never be the foundation of this universe's spacetime forces. I feel it's more like some mysterious force has sealed away these spacetime forces.

"Has the power of spacetime been sealed?"

Wen Ming snapped his fingers, and Qing Hou appeared in response. Her super brain worked quickly and she immediately came up with a deduction: "There is a 69% chance that Zeus and other gods sealed spacetime and prevented ordinary humans from exploring the power of spacetime, because that is the authority of the gods."

27% is other unknown forces, and 4% is likely the Triangle of Light, which is the key to unlocking the power of spacetime in this universe. Without the key, time travel is impossible.

The Tomb Raider universe contains Pandora's Box from mythology, as well as Pandora sealed within it, which means that gods exist in this universe.

For Wenming, who had just killed Hades and Hera, the Olympian gods were naturally very sensitive.

"Wait a little longer. Once I'm stronger, I'll definitely help you bring your parents back!"

Wenming hugged Laura and made his promise.

Laura immediately collapsed into his arms: "I need your comfort right now."

"it's here?"

"Yes, right here."

"Come on, sit tight."

……

The next morning, Wen Ming got up early and strolled around Laura's understated, luxurious, and empty castle.

The Grand Castle is great in every way, except it lacks people.

Even though there are many servants busy here.

Wen Ming walked all the way to the Croft family tomb. When he saw that the mechanism there had been opened, he realized that Lara had found the workshop left by her father, following the clues to reboot the cinematic universe.

The place is a mess, with various maps scattered haphazardly on the table and on the walls.

Wen Ming casually flipped through the items, and as he walked past a display shelf, his eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of emerald green light.

He didn't pay much attention at first, but as he continued to look at other treasures, he felt something on his mind, so he stopped and went back.

"This hairpin..."

“I bought it from a street stall; it’s from Daqian.”

Laura's voice rang out at the entrance of the treasure room. Wen Ming turned around and saw that Laura was only wearing a white shirt, and her long legs could not be hidden at all. Even her perky breasts were half exposed.

Sure enough, when a woman wears a white shirt, men have nothing to do with her.

Not to mention, Laura tore this white shirt to shreds last night.

Laura walked up to Wenming, tilted her head back and kissed him, then looked at the emerald green hairpin: "Is there something wrong with this hairpin?"

"It looks familiar."

Wen Ming pulled Laura to sit in the chair in front of the desk. Laura shifted her position, found a comfortable spot, and slowly sat down, excitedly asking, "Which movie or TV series is this prop from?"

The staff at the Iron Hotel and the time travelers are now very sensitive whenever Wen Ming says something looks familiar.

Because this means that Wen Ming will have to actively trigger the plot.

Wen Ming stroked the emerald green hairpin, and the more he looked at it, the more it seemed to resemble the hairpin. He snapped his fingers, and Qinghou immediately appeared: "Boss, you guessed right, this is the hairpin that Jin Yanzi had."

"Golden Swallow? Who is she?"

Laura looked at Wen Ming with a puzzled expression. Wen Ming nodded and said, "I think I've figured out why you can't use the time machine."

"Walter?"

Laura unconsciously sat up straight, and Wen Ming gasped: "Let's watch a movie together."

How long is it?

"104 minutes."

"It's a bit short; it ended before you even warmed up."

"Then watch it twice."

……

The film "The Forbidden Kingdom" tells the story of Jason, an eagle boy who obtains the Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff) from an antique shop and is transported back to ancient times. There, he encounters kung fu master Lu Yan, Golden Swallow, and Silent Monk. Together, the four experience many hardships and finally defeat evil forces such as the White-Haired Witch and the Jade Emperor, completing their mission to save the Monkey King, Sun Wukong.

Yeah, the plot is ridiculous.

Two kung fu superstars and a pure and innocent beauty team up to play house with a foreign boy, traveling through time just to deliver the Golden Cudgel to the Monkey King.

The biggest surprise might just be the epic showdown between the two kung fu superstars.

The film grossed $1.28 million, resulting in a huge loss for the production company.

Keep in mind, this is a movie starring Jackie Chan, Jay Chou, Liu Yifei, and Bingbing. With Jackie Chan's global appeal, such a lineup, and the gimmick of a showdown of the century, it only had such a small box office. It can only mean that the production team was out of their minds.

The last film to be such a disastrous collaboration of different elements was "The Great Wall"—the opening ceremony of the ancient Olympic Games.

The jade hairpin that Lara bought is a divine artifact from "The Forbidden Kingdom" that can kill immortals like the Jade Emperor. It's not explained in the plot where Golden Swallow got it, but in the original story, after killing the Jade Emperor, the hairpin fell into purgatory along with his corpse.

As for how it ended up in Laura's hands hundreds of years later, Wen Ming couldn't explain it either, but to return to the past, he had to find the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) of the Monkey King, Sun Wukong.

"Can this Ruyi Jingu Bang really change its length, thickness, or shape at will?"

Laura looked at Wen Ming curiously: "Are you as good as me?"

"That's a divine artifact."

Wen Ming chuckled: "Throughout history, there has only been that one."

"Let's set off to look for it."

Now that the hairpin is confirmed to be the real thing, the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) must exist, and Lara can't wait to go treasure hunting.

Wen Ming shook his head and said, "I don't really recommend it."

Laura looked at Wen Ming in confusion: "Why?"

"Don't think that the real Jade Emperor is as weak as he is portrayed in the movies, and don't think that the Monkey King can only wield a stick."

Wen Ming pinched Laura's hand and emphasized, "Those are ancient gods. Each one of them could instantly kill so-called old gods like Zeus, Hades, and Hera."

Wow, that's amazing?

Laura's interest didn't diminish; in fact, it grew even stronger. "I really want to see it for myself. Will you take me?"

She kept twisting her body, making Wen Ming gasp repeatedly: "No, you can't do this, someone will die."

"Wouldn't it be better if someone died? Such a large estate is just missing an heir."

Laura wrapped her arms around Wen Ming's neck and said excitedly, "I want to be the first one."

Wen Ming quickly picked up the map from the table beside him: "Why don't you go and take a look at this island?"

Laura glanced to the side and said, "My father isn't in Yamatai. He's dead. I'm not the same person as the rebooted movie series."

"But didn't you say that there are many things you've experienced in the game? Maybe there are some magical things on that island."

Wen Ming stood up: "I'm here on vacation, let me go with you to take a look."

Laura trembled with excitement: "You've finally, finally agreed to go on an adventure with me."

Wen Ming tried to wipe away Laura's tears, but the more he wiped, the more tears she shed. He couldn't help but apologize, "I'm sorry I've neglected you these past few days. Now that I'm here, I'll spend some quality time with you."

Laura kissed him suddenly: "This time, you're not allowed to leave without leaving a little earl for my Croft Manor."

"Then open your mouth!"
