Wanjie Hotel: Iron Man is not allowed to charge

Chapter 288 A High-Level Version of the Wandering Little Broken Ball? (8K Views Requested for Monthly Tickets)
"So fast?"

Minerva stared in astonishment at the planet before her, her rosy lips parting in surprise.

Tifa and Alice were also stunned.

Has traversing the universe become this easy?

Wen Ming explained with a smile, "When in doubt, quantum mechanics."

The two women laughed so hard they bent over, but Minerva shook her head and didn't say anything.

Unbeknownst to others, she had been residing within Wen Ming's body and was acutely aware of just how terrifying Wen Ming's power had become. She also knew that after Wells' power was devoured by the divine beast White Tiger, a barely perceptible spatial fluctuation had surged into the quantum bracelet.

She guessed that the quantum bracelet must have gained Wells' ability to open interdimensional channels, so now all that was needed was to determine the coordinates to easily reach the places Wen Ming wanted to go within the same universe.

The only uncertainty is whether Wen Ming can freely open up the various multiverses.

Previously, Wen Ming had used the Quantum Bracelet to open a spatial portal from the Marvel Universe to the Mutant Universe. Now that the Quantum Bracelet is even more powerful, even if it cannot open various multiverses, Wen Ming's spatial teleportation capabilities will certainly not be weak.

Moreover, Wen Ming can now teleport.

With Wen Ming's current strength, ordinary people really can't trap him.

However, she is Wen Ming's guardian goddess, so she will never reveal any of Wen Ming's secrets, especially his secrets to survival.

Even Minerva, the god of life on Gaia, did not tell her.

She knew very well that she was now Wen Ming's person.

"Why does this planet look so familiar?"

After the joke was over, Wen Ming summoned Qing Hou. Upon seeing this sentient planet, Qing Hou immediately uttered a name that made Wen Ming happy.

Pandora!

Tifa and Alice looked at Qinghou in surprise: "You mean Pandora? Wen Ming was just talking about Pandora?"

Qinghou nodded and said, "The satellites orbiting the gas giant are colorful and have lush vegetation. Wait a moment, I'll scan the atmospheric composition with my combat spaceship to find out if it's Pandora."

Wen Ming looked down at the light blue planet, his eyes filled with longing.

"Phantom, I wonder if it's fun to ride?"

……

The combat spaceships detected the planet quickly. When they determined that the surface gravity was only 80% of that of an ordinary planet and that the atmosphere was rich in a mixture of gases such as ammonia, methane, and chlorine, they could basically confirm that the planet was Pandora.

This harsh environment was unsuitable for human survival, so Wenming had no choice but to send Qinghou with 2B and A2 to land on the planet for exploration, while he himself stayed in the spaceship with Tifa and Aerith watching Avatar.

The two women were a little shy at first, but remembering the crazy time they had spent with Wen Ming on his birthday in the King of Fighters universe, they reluctantly snuggled into his arms and pretended to be watching a movie.

Wen Ming's lips curled up.

Who would watch a movie at a time like this?

Soon, two strange voiceovers began playing in the movie music that was playing inside the spaceship.

It started out small, but later it completely drowned out the original sound of the movie.

……

The Avatar film series pioneered 3D movies and tells a very simple story.

A mega-corporation called RDA discovers a superconducting mineral called Unobtnium on Pandora, which triggers a violent CQ story of the expulsion and slaughter of the native inhabitants.

The male protagonist fell in love with the indigenous people, so he resolutely joined them in their fight against humans. In the end, with the help of the planet's powerful beasts and their bows and arrows, they successfully drove the humans away!
They chased them away...

With a bow and arrow...

While the first installment had some illogical elements, such as the company ignoring the more valuable Soul Tree and focusing solely on mining, and the fact that an interstellar civilization over a hundred years later still used conventional firearms and arrows could penetrate bulletproof glass, it still delivered a visual feast for the audience.

Especially as the first 3D movie, it left a significant mark on film history.

By the second installment, it was impossible to hold back any longer.

The story moves to more than ten years later, where the male protagonist becomes the chief of a tribe. Surprisingly, during these years, he makes no preparations for another human invasion, nor does he remind other tribes how to prepare. Instead, he has children, raises them, and lives a pastoral life.

As a result, when humanity returned, they not only wanted superconducting minerals, but also wanted to achieve colonization.

Under attack from humans, the male protagonist abandoned his people, resigned from his position as chief, and ran away with his wife and children.

Ran……

Although the director wanted to highlight the theme and showcase the magnificent special effects of the underwater world, the plot was genuinely difficult to maintain.

The first part was exciting, but the second part degenerated into a soap opera-style family feud. It was a continuation of the relationship with the villainous BOSS from the first part—the two families fought to the death over the BOSS's child, and this child even brought the BOSS back to life after the male lead had finally defeated him.

Don't ask why, it's just to set up the plot for the third installment.

From the tribal defense war in the first movie to the personal vendetta in the second, from the ruthless villain in the first movie to the sudden acquisition of a romantic relationship in the second, and crucially, the villain in the second movie knows that he is just a clone who has simply downloaded the memories of the villain in the first movie.

The most complex and vivid character in the entire film is a creature named Payakan called "Tukun." Tukun's emotional scenes overshadow all the other characters in the film, leading some to suspect that Tukun is the protagonist of the second installment.

For six whole hours, Tifa and Alice were completely engrossed in the show, and were moved to tears from time to time.

I don't remember the plot, but the two of them kept murmuring, "So beautiful, so incredibly beautiful."

Wen Ming praised, "It is indeed very beautiful."

The two of them turned to look at Wen Ming at the same time, their eyes full of seductive charm.

That's terrible, you haven't looked at the screen for hours.

They've been doing nothing but bad things.

……

"Boss, it's confirmed, it's Pandora, but we're too early, the story hasn't even started yet."

Qinghou excitedly showed Wenming a holographic map of the entire planet and quickly found the most important and tallest Home Tree in the first part of the story: "I just scanned it, and there are indeed rich mineral deposits on this planet."

And this place has the highest mineral content.

The tribe living on this home tree is the tribe of the female protagonist's clan.

"Well, she's still a little girl."

As Wen Ming watched the female protagonist and her family living carefree on the tree in their home, occasionally bursting into cheerful laughter, he couldn't help but sigh, "Can you calculate how many years it will be before the story begins? This might be their last moment of happiness."

"The original storyline officially begins in 2154. I haven't found any human space stations on the entire periphery of this planet, which means that humans haven't discovered this planet yet... Huh?"

As Qinghou was reporting the situation, she suddenly looked up and waved her hand to operate the holographic screen. Outside Pandora, a small spaceship was slowly decelerating.

"Humans have arrived."

Wen Ming immediately realized something: "Qing Hou, interfere with their detection instruments. If necessary, have Emma alter their memories."

"Don't worry, boss."

The sonic boom channel opened, and Qinghou disappeared inside the spaceship, quickly appearing on the enemy's spaceship.

A moment later, her voice rang in Wen Ming's ears: "Boss, it's confirmed to be the RDA interstellar expedition team. The time is 2129, the year they explored Pandora in the original storyline. There are still 25 years before the story officially begins."

"Find a way to get them to give up this planet."

Upon hearing that there were still 25 years left, Wen Ming smiled, realizing he had plenty of time.

“Emma has erased that part of their memory, and I’ve also modified their flight logs…”

Soon, the interstellar expedition's spaceship accelerated again and began to fly into the vast expanse of space.

……

"Honey, you're so lucky!"

Bulma excitedly held up the Unobtnium superconducting ore that Megatron and the Decepticons had collected, and said happily, "This is the ore I need. It can not only be used to make storage rings, but it can also bring about a revolution in our technology in the fields of energy, transportation, and medicine."

Wen Ming raised his eyebrows: "Looks like I'm in luck. Next up is the negotiation."

Wen Ming never expected that he would be able to find Pandora in one go without relying on Kanzaki Kaori's luck, and even find the ore he needed.

Looks like I'm not so unlucky after all.

"negotiation?"

Everyone looked at Wen Ming with suspicion, and Wen Ming looked at them with suspicion: "I only ever take things that are destined to be destroyed, and the ore here clearly belongs to someone, so I couldn't possibly take it without asking."

"Okay, boss, you're such a good person."

Starscream shrugged: "If it were us Decepticons, we would have taken over this planet immediately."

"So, you'll always be a lackey."

White Queen Emma walked to Wen Ming's side and took his arm: "Boss, how are you going to negotiate?"

“Send Minerva to meet with their planetary consciousness, Ava, and see what their attitude is.”

Wen Ming patted his chest, and Minerva immediately transformed into a golden light and flew into Pandora. Wen Ming then instructed, "You should all go back first."

"Huh? Boss, doesn't this count as you initiating a new storyline?" Starscream's eyes were full of disappointment, and Megatron was also staring intently at Wen Ming.

"The storyline is still 25 years away from starting, so it's hard to say now."

Wenming's words rekindled the Decepticons' hope.

25 years?
It's too short.

We Decepticons have lifespans of hundreds of thousands of years.

We can wait.

After everyone else left, Wen Ming walked over to Bulma and asked, "How large a storage ring can you make?"

Bulma glanced at Tifa and Aerith, and Wenming gestured for her to speak. Bulma glared at Wenming and said, "For the same weight, it's ten times more effective than the Materia from Final Fantasy VII. This is a very important strategic resource that we must obtain."

"ten times?"

Although Wen Ming had some guesses, he did not expect the ore to be so effective.

Previously, magic crystals could only create storage rings with a volume of 1 cubic meter. Based on this, Unobtnium superconducting ore could easily create storage rings with a volume of 10 cubic meters.

This size will definitely boost the combat effectiveness of all staff and travelers at the Iron Hotel, and make everyone's travel more convenient.

Not to mention that this is a superconducting ore.

Tifa and Alice looked at the ore in Bulma's hand in surprise. They had been studying science recently and knew very well what superconductivity meant, not to mention that both of them wore storage rings that Wen Ming had personally put on their fingers.

This is a rare find that other time travelers can't even buy.

"We'll see."

Wen Ming looked out the spaceship window at the beautiful planet, which appeared extremely small against the backdrop of the enormous gas giant.

Just like the powerful humans they will face in the future.

……

"Has the boss started a new storyline?"

Inside the Iron Hotel, everyone gathered at the Seventh Heaven Bar, all looking excitedly at Red Spider. Red Spider, chin held high, said, "It's not certain yet. After all, the boss arrived at that mining planet 25 years ahead of schedule, so yes, I think the plot has begun."

The boss is very cautious, you all know that; he won't make a decision until he's 100% sure.

"YES!"

Everyone cheered and raised their glasses, taking a hearty sip.

"How many contribution points are needed this time? Will the price of storage rings drop?"

Compared to Red Spider and the others' excitement, Liang, who had just joined the hotel, was more concerned about the price of participating in the collective enhancement storyline.

Ralph laughed and said, "Liang, you're the boss's favorite agent, why would he ask you for money?"

Liang is a new fighter from The King of Fighters XIV and The King of Fighters XV, and his specialty is the "face-slap kill".

In the original storyline, she became the lover of Kim Kap-ban's master, Goichi, and was nicknamed Liang Shiniang. She is a very popular new character in "The King of Fighters XIV" and "The King of Fighters XV".

She later joined Haddren's special agent team.

After Wen Ming entered the King of Fighters universe, he recruited her into Heidern's organization ahead of time, so her fate deviated from her original fate.

At 180cm tall, only Perkins could rival her among the female employees of the Iron Hotel, but Perkins' figure wasn't as voluptuous as hers.

Perkins was initially quite hostile towards her after she arrived, but he only calmed down after he, along with Miss Jay from "G.I. Joe: Retaliation," were measured by Wen Ming to see who had the longest legs.

But from then on, Perkins and Miss Jay became inseparable twin sisters.

……

"No, even if you're just Mrs. Liang, or even the boss's wife, you still have to pay up."

"It's a saber-toothed tiger, Viktor, standing to the side," he teased.

Ralph asked curiously, "So strict?"

Ralph and Clark, being close friends, frequented the Seventh Heaven bar and naturally knew who Victor was referring to as the proprietress.

They never expected that even Tifa, the boss's favorite, would have to obediently pay up.

"That's right, you have to pay for what you want to gain; that's the survival rule of the Iron Hotel."

Victor, the saber-toothed tiger, instinctively reached for his cigar, but immediately saw the menacing stares of Salvador and Connie. He couldn't help but complain, "The boss isn't at the hotel, so we can't smoke?"

"No way! Rules are rules. Just like the contribution value system, once it's set, it has to be followed."

Salvador tapped the table, then looked at Liang Shiniang and Ralf: "You've been with the boss for 28 years in the King of Fighters universe, so you should have accumulated quite a few contribution points. Besides, hotels allow you to charge your bills, so you can earn them back later."

Rules are rules, but the boss is very lenient. There are four people over there who are always eating and drinking for free, and the boss hasn't pressured them.

Everyone turned to look, and the Thor brothers and Loki brothers paused in their drinking. The Loki brothers immediately distanced themselves, saying, "We've made a huge contribution to the hotel; we even got the boss some artifacts."

The Thor brothers were immediately embarrassed. After a long pause, they finally said, "We helped Wen Ming fight before."

"That's right, you can earn contribution points by fighting for the boss."

Connie solemnly pulled out her tablet: "But your bill deficit hasn't decreased as a result; in fact, it's widening."

"Thor from the main universe, since you regained your strength, you've been drinking more than before. Your mother, Frigga, has been worried that you've given up on yourself again!" The Thor brothers were even more embarrassed and quickly changed the subject: "Weren't we talking about that new planet? It looked like a lot of fun just now. Want to team up and go check it out?"

Everyone shook their heads: "The boss hasn't given any orders, so let's not go over there and disrupt his strategy."

The Thor brothers nodded in unison: "We think so too."

Seeing that everyone's attention had been diverted, the two brothers immediately ran away quietly.

Jane Foster, watching from the side, shook her head in disappointment.

Immediately, she heard a murmur beside her. Turning her head, she saw Kula eating ice cream while whispering to Isla and Athena Asamiya, "Should we go find Daddy?"

"Didn't they say that if Dad doesn't call, we shouldn't go and bother him?"

"We're not going to cause trouble, we're going to have fun, uh, we're going to help Dad."

"Walk?"

"Walk."

……

A few girls sneaked out, only to bump into another group of people.

"Wanda, where are you going?"

"Kula, where are you going?"

"Let's go play."

"What a coincidence, we're going to play too."

"Together?"

"Together!"

……

Jane Foster shook her head. These little rascals, relying on Wen Ming's favoritism, were running rampant at the Iron Hotel.

They are much more favored than the boss's wife.

Uh, boss lady...

Jane Foster looked toward the bar. Although Tifa wasn't there, Jane Foster seemed to see her standing there wiping glasses again.

What type of woman does Wen Ming like?
……

"Dad, we're here!"

Wen Ming was studying superconducting ore with Bulma when he turned around and saw Wanda and her sister, Quicksilver and his brother, Phoenix, Kula, Athena Asamiya, Isla, and the Supergirl sisters rushing over laughing and joking.

Wen Ming patted each of their heads, and when it was the Super Girl sisters' turn, he said helplessly, "Are you sure?"

"We're sure! We are your precious daughters!"

Kara and Camille blinked and straightened their chests.

Their figures were preserved by the mother goddess Euthoma, so their destructive power is now unmatched by ordinary people.

In particular, taking advantage of the fact that no one knew, they brazenly continued to call him "Dad".

Wen Ming gave them both a little rub, and was about to say something when Minerva appeared inside the spaceship: "Ava agrees to see you."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Wen Ming praised, "Well done."

Minerva blushed slightly and, seeing a group of young girls staring at her, quickly flew into Wen Ming's body.

"Wow, Minerva is shy!"

Kara deliberately spoke loudly, and the little ones immediately looked at Wen Ming with a mocking expression. Wen Ming shook his head and chuckled, "You guys wait here, I'm going to meet the consciousness of this planet."

Seeing Wen Ming tear open the spatial rift and leave, the group became restless and secretly discussed among themselves: "Shall we go check out this planet? I heard the night sky here is beautiful, and that flying bird is amazing. Shall we give it a try?"

Tifa and Alice, who were standing nearby, quickly stopped them, saying, "You can't go. The air here isn't suitable for humans."

"Why not just make a mask? That's what the characters in the story do."

Jean Grey's eyes darted around, and she looked at Bulma: "Bulma, you're the most talented one. This kind of mask must be very easy for you."

"of course."

Bulma raised her head smugly: "In fact, your Guardian Angel mechs can guarantee your freedom of movement on this planet."

"Wow, let's go! Let's go! Let's go!"

Jean Grey cheered, and the little ones immediately rushed excitedly out of the spaceship. Tifa and Alice were immediately anxious: "Wait for Wenming to come back before you go."

"Don't worry, we definitely won't do anything reckless!"

The mutant Wanda pressed a button on her watch, and nanoparticles quickly began to spread throughout her body, soon transforming her into a small, crimson angel: "Don't underestimate us, we know to play it safe!"

Tifa and Alice breathed a slight sigh of relief, but still felt a little uneasy. They exchanged a glance, pressed their watches, and instantly transformed into two guardian angels.

A large group of people flew towards Pandora.

Bulma watched their retreating figures and shook her head.

"How childish! You think you can steal my boyfriend with this?"

"Also, don't think that only you guys know how to call someone 'Dad'."

"I am the one Wen Ming loves the most."

……

"Greetings, Your Majesty Goddess Ava."

"Greetings, esteemed Lord of the Metaverse."

Wen Ming landed under a Soul Tree. As he grasped the purple branch of the Soul Tree, his powerful spiritual energy immediately connected with the consciousness of this planet—Ava—through the Soul Tree.

Unlike the male protagonist, who needed to use the Na'vi braids to connect and pray unilaterally, Wenming clearly sensed the presence of the goddess Ava and even saw her dreamlike figure.

"You must have seen Minerva's memories. In a little over a decade, this planet will be visited by humans, followed by destructive development. In 25 years, the largest home tree will be toppled, and in 30 years, your children in the ocean will have nowhere to escape. This will be a very serious harm to you."

Moreover, this damage is ongoing and could eventually lead to the depletion of the planet's resources and its decline.

Wenming didn't mince words and directly stated his thoughts: "I can offer you two kinds of help. One is to give the Na'vi the military power to fight against humans, and the other is to make Pandora completely hidden and free from human invasion for the next few decades. However, the plot cannot be bypassed, and in the end, the Na'vi and you will still have to face all of this."

After a moment of silence, Goddess Ava said slowly, "I believe you. I can sense that you came to me with goodwill."

Wen Ming nodded without saying anything.

Ava has the ability to access memories, and she had already seen Minerva's memories before, so she must already know about the existence of the multiverse.

"War will only lead to more wars."

"Then we can only wait for our demise," Wen Ming warned.

“I know, so I’m willing to make a fair deal with you and settle this in one battle.” Ava’s sentiment lasted less than a second before turning into determination, which delighted Wen Ming.

He had initially thought Ava was averse to war, but it turned out she was just expressing her feelings.

Indeed, no one who can become a planetary consciousness is an ordinary person.

"Then let's work together to usher the Na'vi into an era of full evolution!"

……

"Wow, this is the Tu Kun! It's huge!"

Marvel Wanda joyfully flew across the sea, and when she saw a group of giant trolls swimming in the water, she and everyone else exclaimed in amazement.

Tu Kun is a massive deep-sea mythical creature that combines the characteristics of whales and dolphins, possessing both the enormous size of a whale and the spirituality of a dolphin.

"so cute!"

Kula waved her hands happily: "Can we control them? We don't have braids."

To control or subdue any creature on Pandora, one must use the Na'vi's vital organ—the braid, which is their neural interface.

This is an appendage about 1 meter long, resembling a braid. Unlike most other Pandora vertebrates, the Na'vi have only one neural interface. Therefore, one form of punishment among the Na'vi is severing this neural interface, permanently cutting off their connection to the many creatures of Pandora and drastically reducing their hunting and fighting abilities. This punishment is typically reserved for Na'vi who have committed very serious crimes.

Kula and the others had already watched the two movies before they came, so they were very envious of Tu Kun and really wanted to try to see if they could ride on it.

"Maybe I have a solution."

Alice saw the longing in everyone's eyes, smiled slightly, then clenched her fists and held them to her heart.

"Wow, Alice's mom needs to pray!"

"What 'Mom'? You should call her 'Sister'!"

"They're all the same, they're all Dad's favorites anyway!"

……

When Alice heard the word "mother," she shuddered and almost fell off the Flying Nimbus into the sea. Tifa, standing beside her, couldn't help but want to laugh, but she quickly stopped.

Because the mischievous Super Girl sisters had already gathered around her and called her "Tifa's mom".

These little guys must have done it on purpose!
No, they are not young at all. Don't be fooled by their appearance. Only Isla and Wanda are truly young in the real sense.

Ice Maiden Kula is not young anymore.

Athena Asamiya is older.

Alice composed herself and began to pray again. Her immense spiritual power immediately transformed into countless starlight, which fell into the bodies of the Kun creatures below.

"hold head high--"

The enormous Tu Kun emerged from the sea, letting out a deafening roar. Their brains have more and more complex neural connections than humans, so Tu Kun are actually much smarter than humans.

When they sensed Alice's kindness, the Tu Kun began to swim happily around her, forming circle after circle of lines.

"You can land on them now, but don't make any big movements."

Alice looked at the crowd, and the Quicksilver brothers cheered and were the first to jump off the Flying Cloud.

"Alice's mother is truly amazing!"

Kara exclaimed in praise. Alice's face was flushed, but thankfully her mech helmet covered her face, otherwise she would have been too embarrassed to show her face.

The Tu Kun possesses rich and profound emotions, can create beautiful music, and is a highly intelligent creature.

The little guys played with them for a while and then fell completely in love with them.

Thinking about how Tukun would be slaughtered by humans in the future, the mutant Wanda couldn't help but say, "Should we create a barrier for this planet so that humans can't find it?"

“Then why don’t we do what that movie in Dad’s hometown did, and let it leave here and wander through the universe?” Marvel Wanda came up with a better idea.

Jean Grey immediately said, "Then why don't we move this planet, Gaia's planet, and 2B's planet together? Dad can open a time portal."

"Yup!"

The little ones' eyes lit up at the same time, and Tifa and Alice, who were watching over them, were also stunned for a moment.

This method seems to actually work.

The group became more and more excited as they talked. Although the Tu Kuns couldn't understand what they were saying, they could sense that the group was worried about their future and fate, so they made beautiful sounds to comfort them.

Athena Asamiya stood up excitedly and, following the voices of the Tukun, began to sing a beautiful song.

In The King of Fighters, the most popular profession for fighters is music.

Athena Asamiya is an idol singer. The Hell Band, composed of Yashiro, Shermie, and Chris, often clashes with Iori Yagami's band.

Iori Yagami was so poor that he took a sales job just to earn money to buy a new bass.

Later, with the help of Athena Asamiya, Iori Yagami, Kyo Kusanagi, Nakoruru, and Terry Bogard formed a brand new band – the Fighters Band.

Therefore, Athena Asamiya's musical talent is undeniable.

The beautiful song attracted even more Tu Kun to swim over. This time, without Alice's mental power to communicate, they spontaneously fell in love with this pretty girl.

"You two have such a good relationship with them, how can you expect me to bring myself to take their brains?"

As soon as Athena Asamiya finished singing, a voice rang in everyone's ears, and Athena Asamiya immediately rushed over excitedly: "Dad, are you done with your work?"

"Could you please stop calling me 'Dad'? You're older than me."

Wen Ming was somewhat helpless. Ottoma agreed to restore all the fighters in "The King of Fighters" to their peak appearance. Athena Asamiya's best state was naturally when she was an idol singer. When she was popular, she was not only extremely beautiful, but also extremely youthful.

"No way, you are the father. Who told you to lay a hand on him when he was so young?"

Athena Asamiya snuggled into Wen Ming's arms and then said excitedly, "Daddy, how about you send this planet directly next to Gaia? We think that way we can protect these adorable Kunkun."

Wen Ming was taken aback; he had never actually considered this method.

The conversation I just had with Ava was about how to quickly advance the Na'vi to the technological age and use firearms to fight against future human invasions.

At the very least, we can use a magical barrier to hide the planet.

Move the entire planet away?

A high-level version of the Wandering Little Ball?

In the past, Wen Ming would have thought this method was crazy, after all, it was no small project, and the energy consumed was far more than what was shown in the movies.

However, his quantum bracelet was upgraded.

Wen Ming's breathing quickened suddenly as he looked at the white-haired woman beside him, whose body was shrouded in white light.

"Goddess Ava, how about we get a different Sun Daddy?"
