The only player in the Marvel universe

Chapter 143 Little Spider: Du Mu, I feel really bad.

After helping Sky Speed ​​Talk become a full-fledged member of the mission, Du Mu recruited her into his direct X Team as a technical scout, responsible for providing intelligence information to the team members.

Skye was stunned when she saw the members of Team X.

Have I stumbled into a group of superheroes?

Apart from her, all the other members were superheroes.

Spider-Man and Professor McGonagall, in particular, are frequent headlines in New York media. Skye is quite familiar with them. One relies entirely on the selfless contribution of his biggest fan, JJJ, for traffic, while the other relies entirely on Du Mu's money to hype them up. Their topicality is much higher than that of Harry, the little devil.

Harry, however, didn't care at all. As the heir to the Osborn Corporation, if he really wanted attention, he could simply follow Tony's example, hold a press conference in the name of the Osborn Corporation, and then declare on the spot that he was a little devil.

The others warmly welcomed Skye, the new member.

With Peter and Harry as assault operatives, Max as an engineer, and Skye as a scout, the X-Team is quite complete, except for Haji Bee, who is in charge of medical support.

After that, Skye also witnessed what a highly efficient task production line was like.

Whenever Du Mu, the leader of Team X, issues a mission, the superheroes immediately take action, head to the destination, and quickly complete the mission objective. Then, Du Mu uses the teleportation orb to instantly arrive at the scene and finish the job, all in one smooth motion!
These missions, which are dangerous for S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, are nothing to these superheroes. They can easily solve them in a few moves, and if they can't, they can just do it again.

Putting everything else aside, no one could withstand Peter's attacks in just a few moves.

However, after a preliminary understanding, Skye discovered that apart from herself and Du Mu, the other members of Team X were not S.H.I.E.L.D. members, or even non-affiliated personnel, yet they were all carrying out S.H.I.E.L.D. missions for Du Mu.

Skye was puzzled: "Why are these superheroes so keen on going on missions?"

Du Mu explained, "After completing the mission, they can exchange their items for what they need here. Both the little devil and Professor Mai have their own desired items."

"What about Spider-Man?"

"Uh, I'm not really sure, maybe it's just a strong addiction."

"."

To optimize the team's reward system, Du Mu had Skye develop a dedicated internal platform.

This platform uses a simple user interface, and all redeemable items are clearly categorized and displayed, including equipment, materials, items, and potions.
Small rewards include monetary sums, while larger rewards include supernatural items like life potions, covering almost every need.

Most of these items are equipment and resources that Du Mu doesn't need or has plenty of in stock. Instead of letting them gather dust in the game warehouse, it's better to use them to motivate the team members.

Du Mu named this platform the Exchange Mall!

Since the game doesn't have a cash shop, he'll create one himself.

Then Du Mu continued to expand his ideas. Based on the exchange mall, he asked Skye to create a task system for team members.

A quest system for NPCs!

Its function is similar to his task system.

When he accepts a daily task, the NPCs will also receive the task information, including the task rewards!

The only difference is that Du Mu's reward for completing the task is experience points, reputation, and game items and equipment, while the NPCs' reward is only points.

They can use the points earned from completing tasks to freely exchange for the items they need in the redemption shop.

This feeling is like having NPCs play a game in a game.

As soon as the exchange shop went online, the members of Team X became very enthusiastic, including Skye, who had just joined.

Du Mu also put the local specialties he bought from the New Star Empire into the exchange mall, including many effective beauty products. For female members like Skye, their appeal was no less than that of men seeing the latest 5090 graphics card.

Of course, the points required to redeem these items are quite high.

Du Mu set a point requirement that was ten times the original value. For a reward that could be obtained from a single daily task, members would need to complete at least ten, or even more, tasks to redeem it.

Such outrageous pricing did not dampen the members' enthusiasm; on the contrary, it fueled their passion.

The members started grinding the tasks like crazy, wanting to do them every single moment, just like Du Mu's state when playing games in the early stages.

With Skye's addition, the X Team's mission execution efficiency reached a new level. She was essentially a human mini-map for the team, providing precise coordinates and real-time dynamics of targets at any time.

Keith doesn't need to be there in person anyway, since she can't keep up with the other members' pace. She can just stay in the safe house and operate remotely via computer terminal, while leisurely eating snacks. Compared to the members who are running around outside, it's much easier for her.

With such an intense workload, all the other members lost weight, but Skye gained weight.

However, Team X soon encountered a significant problem.

This trouble comes from Harry's Osborn Group.

Since Tony, a Steel Armor enthusiast, pioneered this trend, coupled with Du Mu's Titan BT's fierce battle against the Abominations in Harlem and its powerful combat capabilities demonstrated in the Battle of New York, the military has developed a strong interest in individual combat mechs.

Even General Ross, a Hulk fanatic, couldn't help but turn his attention to the field of mechs.

Of course, he did not abandon his long-held belief that his super soldier program was not outdated, as evidenced by the resurrected Captain America.

A 70-year-old popsicle can run and jump as soon as it thaws. Isn't that enough to prove how awesome a super soldier is?

But the mechs are equally powerful. General Ross still vividly remembers the scene when Du Mu killed the Abomination with a single plasma railgun.

As for how to choose between super soldiers and mechs.

As an elderly man, General Ross gave a dismissive smile.

What's there to argue about? Just mix the two together and make a super soldier mech, you idiot!
Unfortunately, Tony has now gone ashore and made it clear that he will never use the Iron Man suit technology for military purposes.

Hammer Industries, which was willing to cooperate with the military, saw its chairman, Justin Hammer, arrested and imprisoned after Ivan Vanco was killed by Du Mu, and its plan to manufacture Tony Stark's Iron Man suit ultimately fell through.

Looking at the entire US military industry today, the only company with research and development capabilities is the Osborn Group, which has a wide range of business operations.

Therefore, at the request of the military, a major financial backer, the Osborn Group devoted all its resources to the research and development of mechs.

It must be said that the Osborne Group has a wealth of talent, and they quickly developed several decent prototypes.

However, a criminal gang successfully stole their newly developed 'Rhino' heavy mech, which resembles a giant metal rhinoceros and is not only incredibly defensive but also equipped with powerful destructive weapons.

This criminal group is the same organization that previously robbed the Osborne Group's plutonium-238 transport vehicle.

Because their leader's brother died in Du Mu's great fortune, they couldn't find the real culprit, so they decided to take revenge on Peter and Harry, who had been at the scene. With the help of an insider from Osborn, they obtained the new armor and caused a ruckus in the streets to lure the two out.

It's no wonder it's a cradle of supervillains.

To stop the criminals piloting the Rhino Heavy Machine, Peter and Harry rushed to the scene immediately.

However, the Rhino Jaeger's defensive capabilities were simply too formidable. Peter and Harry's attacks were completely ineffective, and due to the large crowds on the street, they dared not cause too much damage, suffering repeated setbacks. At this moment, their situation was similar to Tony's when facing Stanislavski's Iron Monger; in the face of sheer numerical superiority, any skill seemed utterly powerless.

Even Max, who arrived later, was helpless. The armor was covered with a special insulating layer that could perfectly shield him from the electric shock.

The evil Osborn Corporation!

Max felt targeted and cursed inwardly.

As for Skye, faced with this purely confrontational scenario, there was nothing she could do but sit behind her computer, watching the live footage while sipping her soda, just like a moviegoer in a theater.

Just then, Du Mu's voice came from beside them.

"BT, smash it!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a military green one-eyed Titan mech fell from the sky like a meteorite, whistling through the air, and landed precisely on top of the Rhino mech!
Bang! !

The deafening crash echoed throughout the entire street.

BT knelt down on one knee in a standard superhero pose, completely pinning the Rhino mech beneath him. The immense impact caused the surrounding ground to crack instantly, scattering debris everywhere.

The Rhino mech, pinned beneath, struggled frantically, trying to break free from the immense pressure, but against the BT, whose stats were far superior, all resistance was futile.

BT's single eye suddenly lit up, and its mechanical elbow joint snapped back, followed by a powerful elbow strike to the cockpit of the Rhino mech!
Muay Thai warning!

This was precisely the fighting technique that Du Mu excelled at.

Because BT and he achieved 100% neural synchronization, BT completely recorded all of his fighting habits and muscle memory, and could naturally unleash them.

The Fist of Titans is also Muay Thai!
Bang!
The elbow strike slammed heavily against the cockpit window, causing the specially made bulletproof and blast-proof glass to crack slightly. The criminals inside the cockpit were also stunned by the impact.

Before he could react, BT's elbow strike came immediately!

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud—!
The continuous heavy blows were like a storm, and cracks spread rapidly across the bulletproof glass, quickly covering the entire observation window.

In the criminals' terrified gaze, the glass shattered, and a gun barrel larger than a head pierced the cockpit and was aimed at him, accompanied by the cold, mechanical sound of BT.

"Hands up, and don't move!"

"I surrender! I surrender!"

The criminal was so frightened he almost wet himself, his trembling hands quickly raised above his head.

He had no doubt that if he hesitated even slightly, he would be blasted to pieces in the next second.

BT's robotic arm then reached in, lifted him from the driver's seat, and threw him onto the open ground outside, breaking countless bones and causing the criminal to scream in pain.

Peter swung down from the height and saw the criminals' miserable state. He couldn't help but click his tongue: "BT, can you be a little gentler next time?"

BT didn't speak, he just silently watched Peter.

BT: []
Peter: (゜_゜)
Harry landed on the ground from the glider, looked up at BT in shock, and exclaimed, "Is this Du Mu's mech? It defeated our Osborn Group's latest Rhino mech so easily! That's our group's best-performing mech to date!"

At this moment, Du Mu walked up to them, glanced at the rhinoceros mech that had been reduced to scrap metal, and his face showed undisguised disgust:
"What a stupid mecha design! Who made this? How could they leave such a large observation window exposed? What's the difference between this and piloting a mecha without a helmet?"

Harry: "."

I don't know. I'm just someone who signs off on approvals; it's none of my business.

"Guys, he looks bad, he needs to be taken to the hospital."

Peter couldn't bear to see the criminal in so much pain, so he knelt down to help him up.

No, don't.

Upon hearing that they were going to the hospital, the criminals, despite their excruciating pain, stopped howling and grabbed Peter's uniform tightly.

It's important to know that medical expenses in the United States are astronomical; going bankrupt from treating a cold is no joke. Therefore, many Americans would rather endure the pain than go to the hospital, and even criminals are no exception.

Damn it, hospitals are making money faster than they're robbing people!
Peter covered his mouth: "Don't talk in this state. I know you're unhappy with me. You want to say you don't want me to take you to the hospital, right? No problem, I've already contacted a hospital in New York. An ambulance will take you there for treatment soon."

Criminals: ∑(д)!
What a vicious Spider-Man! I'll never forgive you in this lifetime!

[Mission 'Mech Rhino' completed]

[Rewards: 1500 XP, S.H.I.E.L.D. Reputation +30, 'Spider-Man Suit' equipped]

[Equipment: Spider-Man suit (A Spider-Man suit from a parallel universe, handcrafted by his stepfather, utilizing cutting-edge nanotechnology, equipped with independently operable mechanical spider claws, combining offensive and support functions, and also featuring the 'spider-sense' passive skill, greatly enhancing his ability to anticipate danger)]

Looking back at the early stages of the game, opponents like the Rhino Mech could be considered mini-bosses.

But now, with Du Mu's improved strength, this kind of opponent is at most a regular side quest.

This is normal. Early-game bosses often become elite monsters or even easily defeated mobs later on. Players go from fighting to the death at the beginning to being able to easily finish them off later. This is something that every game goes through.

However, the mission reward was a Spider-Man suit, and it looked pretty powerful.

This is so much better than Peter's homemade Spider-Man suit.

It seems that Spider-Man is treated differently in each parallel universe.

Some Spider-Men, like Peter Parker on this server, have to go home and mend their tattered clothes with delicate fingers after defeating supervillains, while others can use nanotechnology to crush their enemies with high technology.

What a different fate from Peter's!

"Now that the matter is resolved, I'll head back now."

Du Mu waved his hand, preparing to teleport away.

He was fishing with Wanda by the lake in Sokovia when Skye suddenly sent him a distress message, so he teleported over immediately. The automatic fishing rod was still standing by the lake, continuing to fish AFK.

If he didn't hurry back, Wanda might discover the secret of the automatic fishing rod.

Imagine the scene where Wanda sees the fishing rod automatically reel in a big fish, and chaotic magic instantly floods her face—Du Mu felt a headache coming on.

Just as he was about to activate the teleportation, Peter suddenly staggered forward two steps and looked at Du Mu in bewilderment.

"Du Mu, I feel really bad. I don't know, I don't know what's wrong."

Du Mu: "?"
