Marvel: The Greatest Hero Era

It's fair to say that Peggy Carter is a seasoned veteran, and Zhao Chen could have easily consulted her about this issue, but he forgot about it and they were just speculating about it on their own.

Peggy Carter noticed everyone was watching her. A smile appeared on her face as she walked towards Zhao Chen and the others, saying, "If you don't mind, I can help you analyze things, but I don't know if you believe in my experience." "I'd love to hear your experience."

Chapter 701 Peggy Carter's Proposal

After Peggy Carter finished speaking, Tony quickly spoke up. The male protagonist did not continue to sit next to her; he took Natasha from Peggy Carter's hands.

They also pulled out a chair for Peggy Carter to sit down.

"Let me make this clear first, everyone. I didn't come here on purpose to eavesdrop on what you were talking about. I just pushed Natasha out for some fresh air and overheard your conversation as I was passing by," Peggy Carter said politely to the male protagonist and the others after sitting down.

“Miss Carter, you are too kind. In fact, none of us can compare to you in this matter. Your experience is probably the most extensive.” “I should have asked you for advice on how to solve this problem a long time ago. It’s all the captain’s fault. The captain kept you hidden for too long.”

The male protagonist now hopes that Peggy Carter can give them some direction, so he starts flattering her. The captain sits next to him, feeling very helpless.

"He's just sitting here, and trouble is falling on his head," Peggy Carter glanced at the helpless captain, then smiled and said, "Actually, you're overcomplicating things. There's no need to sever your ties with the department."

“We don’t want to be a sword in those people’s hands, we don’t want to be used by others, and I have no hope that the world can become a better place.” “But the best way to achieve these things is to have no contact with anyone in the department.” The captain answered Peggy Carter’s question very cooperatively from the side.

“Steve, I have a question for you. You founded the Howling Commandos before, how could you guarantee that everything the Howling Commandos did was correct?” Peggy Carter asked him after the captain finished speaking. “I think I can answer that question,” Tony said before the captain could speak.

"When the Howling Squad was formed, the world was at war, and the evil of Hydra was known to all."

“Actually, this can be explained in another way: the captain’s actions are in line with everyone’s thoughts, so no one questions anything he does,” Peggy Carter said with a slight smile after Tony finished speaking.

“Tony Stark is absolutely right. Back then, the Howling Commandos that Captain America formed dealt a huge blow to Hydra, so Captain America and the Howling Commandos had a very high reputation.” “Reputation is the most important thing. This time, your great battle has brought the Avengers’ reputation to its highest point. You are heroes all over the world.”

“If you were to go and call someone who always does good deeds a bad person, call them evil, and then kill them, half the world would be on your side.” Peggy Carter paused here, glanced at the male protagonists around her, and seeing that no one objected to her words, she continued.

"Your Avengers are currently under S.H.I.E.L.D., but S.H.I.E.L.D. can't control you, not only because of your strength, but also because of your popularity among the people." The male protagonist nodded to Peggy Carter.

“Miss Carter, you’re absolutely right. Right now, nothing else matters. The war has just ended, and like you said, we are heroes.” “But time heals all wounds. Even if we have a high reputation now, time will eventually…”

"This is the method you can use, and it's what I want to tell you. What you need to do is keep your reputation at this level for a long time."

"Gentlemen, we are now in a new era, where even if one of us is in the northernmost part of the world and the other is in the southernmost part, we can still meet and talk to each other."

“We don’t need to watch TV or read newspapers to know what’s happening in the world anymore. I don’t think anyone is more out of touch than me,” Peggy Carter said with a touch of exaggeration.

“Stark exposed all those videos that departments didn’t want people to see at the meeting. You can take control of the fishing boats yourselves.” “You don’t necessarily have to do big things, you don’t have to always be great heroes. You can start with small things, like doing things on the streets to help people.” “Like, where there’s a fire? You go put it out; where are the thieves? You catch them. That way, your reputation will stay at its peak.” “As for your own fishing boats, you’ll have them under your control. I think by then, no one will want to offend the public and come after you.” Peggy Carter’s words opened a window for the previously confused protagonist; he saw the light.

Chapter 702 has too large a span.

Peggy Carter's suggestion was actually very simple: keep the Avengers team in the public eye.

If their prestige can be maintained at this level for a long time without declining, then the Avengers will not face any problems.

Zhao Chen thought this method was excellent and was about to applaud Peggy Carter when Hawkeye asked a question. "If some people are dissatisfied with something we've done, they can also take control of the fishing boats and use them to criticize us," Zhao Chen said, glancing at Hawkeye.

“You can ask Tony how long it would take for something to be exposed worldwide by TV stations or video websites?” Hawkeye immediately realized what he was saying and slapped his forehead. “I take back what I just said. None of you heard me.”

"Do you believe I can show you taking a shower to the whole world within an hour?" Tony said to Hawkeye with a smile.

Tony's words made everyone present laugh. Zhao Chen's eyes were filled with gratitude as he glanced at Peggy Carter sitting next to him.

"Actually, there's something else. Mar-Vell said there are many problems in the universe, such as Thanos, Ronan the Accuser of the Kree, and the warmonger." "They could target our Earth at any time. Thor told us before that Asgard would be our ally."

“I have witnessed the power of Odin, the Allfather, but my friends, we cannot entrust our safety to our allies; we must become strong ourselves.” “So I have made a decision: I plan to travel into the universe and bring back technologies that are not available on Earth. Perhaps I can even gain more allies in the universe.” “If we can receive advance warning before war breaks out, we will not be in a passive position when war comes.”

“If anyone has ambitions for Earth, they can use those allies to stop the war outside of Earth, instead of fighting on Earth like this time.” “This time, we won, but many people were injured in Manhattan, not only that, some people died, and some families were wiped out.” Zhao Chen said this while gesturing wildly.

"Zhao Chen, are you implying that we need to establish contact with planets or countries in the universe?" Tony asked, voicing a question that had been bothering everyone.

“You’re right, but it’s not just about establishing contact. If possible, we should set up an outpost in space.” “The captain once said something about ending the war before it even begins. There will definitely be casualties, but what I want to tell you is this: If someone targets our Earth, we won’t just sit at home and wait for those bad guys and robbers to come knocking on our door. We can fight them.”

After Zhao Chen finished speaking, everyone present fell silent. It wasn't that they objected to what Zhao Chen said or expressed, but the leap was a bit too big, and they needed time to digest it.

Zhao Chen also knew that what he said was too far-fetched, and they needed some time to think about the issue and digest what he had said.

At this moment, Zhao Chen looked towards Banner, because Banner never spoke, and he wanted to tease him. "Banner, after listening to what we've said, do you have any good suggestions?"

"I'll listen to everyone. I'll do whatever you say. I don't have any good suggestions for you."

Banner always goes with the flow. Whatever Zhao Chen and the others say, Banner does; he'll do as they say, always putting on a nice guy act. "Banner, you need to know you have seven doctorates. Such a brilliant talent shouldn't be wasted. You need to give us some advice," Tony chimed in. (Wang Li Zhao)

Banner then looked at the crowd with a blank expression. His seven doctoral degrees were genuine, but this was not his area of ​​expertise, and he had no way to offer advice.

But with all eyes on him, he felt awkward not to speak.

"This isn't my forte, so I really don't know what advice I can give you. I'll just listen to you. Or should I call Hulk out? Maybe he has some suggestions."

"Get out of here."

After a moment of silence, everyone spoke in unison, and then continued the discussion. After some time, they made several decisions.

Chapter 703 Solving the Funding Problem

Entering space is not a simple matter, and they were thinking of waiting for Thor to return from Asgard before they could go to Asgard together.

Then we'll decide about going to space.

Peggy Carter and Betty Ross were invited to join the Avengers team.

Regardless of S.H.I.E.L.D., they applied to their superiors to establish the Avengers' superhuman organization, which was designed to monitor and prevent the emergence of superhumans or superhuman crimes worldwide.

The final decision was to eliminate Hydra.

They had all witnessed Peggy Carter's abilities, so her joining the Avengers was a good thing for them.

After Peggy Carter joined the team, she was responsible for intelligence, logistics, and communication with the outside world.

Betty Ross and Bruce Banner were in the same lab and did the same academic research; both were outstanding.

So Betty Ross could definitely work as an assistant to Tony and Banner.

The third thing they decided to do was to wait until they had completely eliminated Hydra before discussing the matter, because they didn't know how many departments Hydra had planted people in.

Zhao Chen had seen many people in the story before, such as Director Qian from S.H.I.E.L.D. and some unseen figures, so Hydra must be eliminated.

Even if they can't completely eliminate Hydra, they should at least remove the spies within the department, otherwise they might be stabbed in the back.

Peggy Carter had been out of work for a long time, so she spent the last few days getting back into the swing of things. Once that was over, her work abilities came to the fore.

Peggy Carter's work ability is so strong that it shocked everyone. The first thing Peggy Carter did was to solve the funding problem that the Avengers needed.

Peggy Carter felt that since they could earn their own money, there was no need to spend Tony Stark's money. Peggy Carter would try to save Tony Stark money because Tony Stark was her nephew.

Zhao Chen was a little surprised after learning about this relationship, but after thinking about it, he felt there was no problem.

Pagecat even went so far as to start a company and quickly applied for the copyright to the Avengers' images.

Peggy Carter took on the part-time job of an agent, selling the images of all the Avengers members to toy manufacturers and some film companies.

Everyone has an endorsement deal, and the most expensive one is Natasha. The company that approached Natasha is Zhao Chen's herbal medicine group.

Natasha is God's favorite; she has an angelic face and a devilish figure. Peggy Carter immediately offered a high price.

“Miss Kate, I don’t think you can set such a price. Natasha is my wife, and the Herbal Group is my company.” “My Herbal Group is essentially Natasha’s, so why should she pay such a high endorsement fee for endorsing me?”

Zhao Chen didn't care how much Peggy Carter charged; he was even willing to let Natasha earn his money. It was just that the company's managers called him every day.

“Well, Zhao Chen, this is a business transaction between us. As the boss of a group, I think you should be able to understand. Look, Tony is sitting next to you and doesn’t say a word.” Peggy Carter’s businesslike manner left Zhao Chen feeling quite helpless. He had no choice but to deal with the managers himself.

Peggy Carter's next move stunned everyone, but also earned their deepest admiration.

The funding issue has been initially resolved, and Peggy Carter then filed a complaint against the department staff for abusing the captain's image rights.

This reason is perfectly valid, and the whole thing is perfectly reasonable. It's like a slap in the face to those people in that department.

Actually, the people in the department had signed a three-year contract with the team leader. Then the war broke out, and nobody expected that the team leader would reappear after so many years.

This left the department staff feeling utterly helpless. Of course, they couldn't bring themselves to give it back, as that money represented a huge source of funding for them.

This matter also made it very difficult for the court to resolve. Tony, who was always eager for drama, even lent his large legal team to Peggy Carter so that she could deal with the people in the department.

For a period of time afterward, the members of the Avengers team led very fulfilling lives, not only filming commercials but also appearing on television.

They were originally the world's superheroes, but now Peggy Carter has turned them into celebrities who need to wear hats, sunglasses, and masks when they go out.

Tony and Captain America weren't too bothered by this; they were already household names before becoming stars.

Chapter 704 Severely Injured Nick

Although Zhao Chen is not as well-known as the captain or Tony, he frequently appears in public and can be considered to have one foot in the public eye.

Natasha and Hawkeye are different; they are spies, and they generally don't appear in the public eye. They hide in small houses on their own.

So after becoming public figures, they felt uncomfortable everywhere they went.

“I need to talk to Tony and ask him to find me a really remote place and build me a house there. I don’t want my kids and wife to be exposed,” Hawkeye said. Tony, who was standing next to him, looked up.

“If we build you a house in a very remote place, your wife and kids will probably only be able to see you once every few months.” “And are you sure your wife and kids would want to live in such a remote area?” Tony’s two questions left Hawkeye speechless.

“You two need to get used to this. This is just the beginning. We’ll be in the public eye a lot more often from now on because we need to keep our reputation at its peak.” After Tony finished speaking, Zhao Chen added, and Hawkeye and Natasha nodded. They would gradually adapt.

At this point, Thor still hadn't returned, and Zhao Chen was getting a little annoyed, but he could only continue to wait. Several more days passed, and there was still no news from Thor.

There was no sign of it returning, and Zhao Chen was now very anxious to absorb some of the Cosmic Cube's properties into his own body, so he decided to contact Heimdall.

Zhao Chen tried several times but couldn't get in touch with Heimdall, so he could only wait there for Thor to return on his own.
