Marvel: Randomly load a protagonist template

Chapter 4 is actually Universe 838

Two months later, in the basement.

"287, 288, 289300."

Wearing a tank top, Hawking gritted his teeth and did his three hundredth push-up before finally managing to stand up and plop down on the ground.

"As expected of a Saiyan's body, it's incredibly resilient."

His body is about eleven or twelve years old now. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't be in junior high school yet. If he were trained according to the methods he's been using these past few days, he would probably have been ruined long ago.

At the very least, rhabdomyolysis is almost certain to occur.

But every time he trained until he was completely exhausted, as long as he ate a full meal and slept, he would be full of energy and fully recovered the next day.

Moreover, I can clearly feel that my body is getting stronger every day.

In just two months, his strength had already reached that of an average adult male.

Now, he finally understands the joy of those fitness enthusiasts who are obsessed with exercise. It's actually like leveling up in a game—it's very fulfilling.

It can really become addictive when someone finds themselves improving every day.

"The economy is still a bit weak right now."

Sokovia is currently undergoing reconstruction, and Oleg and Elena have found good jobs.

Normally, raising three children wouldn't be a problem, but Saiyans have an insatiable appetite.

If Hawking were to eat whatever he wanted, Oleg and Elena's salaries alone wouldn't be enough to feed him.

It's worth noting that in the World Martial Arts Tournament, Master Roshi won 50 yen in prize money, but Goku ate 48 yen of it in one meal.

This is why his current training intensity has not actually reached its maximum.

He was considering whether to let the Goku template possess him. With Goku's strength, it wouldn't be a problem for him to go out and make some extra money.

Sokovia's security situation isn't great these days; people can steal money by cheating and robbing, and incidentally accumulate some justice points along the way.

But after careful consideration, he ultimately rejected the idea.

He suddenly remembered that there seemed to be another Hydra stronghold in Sokovia, whose leader, Baron Strucker, was fond of studying people with special abilities.

If he were to act rashly and be discovered, not only would he be in danger, but he would also endanger Wanda's family.

If he can maintain his Goku form, he has nothing to fear; he could even single-handedly destroy a Hydra base.

After all, the strength of a Hydra base may not necessarily be as great as that of the Red Ribbon Army.

However, he can only maintain the Goku form for one hour, after which he will feel exhausted.

Although this side effect has become smaller and smaller as his own strength has increased, it is still very dangerous.

The most important point, and also the one that gives him a headache, is that his personality has been affected after transforming into Goku. He can no longer handle problems as rationally as he does now, because he is too kind, too righteous, and too fond of fighting.

So he felt he shouldn't be in a hurry; it was only 2000, and there were still ten years until Iron Man appeared.

Play it safe for a while, at least until you're strong enough, before you start thinking about making money and gaining justice points.

After resting for a while, Hawking stretched out his tail, which was hidden at his waist, and then rolled up a chair to continue exercising his tail.

The tail is a Saiyan's weakness; once it's grabbed, the Saiyan will instantly become powerless. So naturally, they need to spend time training in advance.

"Hawking, Hawking, come out quickly! The moon is so round tonight, let's go to the second-floor balcony to look at it!"

Just as he was diligently training his tail, Wanda and Pietro peeked their heads out from under the door and waved excitedly.

Hawking froze for a moment upon hearing this, then turned around and smiled.

"You see, I don't like looking at the moon."

Just kidding, he now has Saiyan blood flowing through his veins, just like Son Goku. If he goes out and sees the full moon, the whole of Sokovia will be in for a big commotion.

I reckon the next day will be big news all over the world: King Kong wreaks havoc in Sokovia!

Then major organizations around the world would send people to cause him trouble.

There are twelve full moons in a normal year. He must be careful to avoid each full moon until he can control himself from transforming, or maintain his sanity after transforming.

"All right!"

Upon hearing Hawking's answer, Wanda and Pietro immediately showed expressions of disappointment.

In their eyes, Hawking was a very mature and steady older brother who took good care of them, so they always wanted to involve Hawking in everything they did.

In addition, their parents often get off work very late, which makes them quite bored.

"Okay, after you finish looking at the moon, come down to the kitchen on the first floor, and I'll make you some noodles."

Seeing Wanda and Pietro's disappointed expressions, Hawking smiled and comforted them.

His unique family environment in his previous life taught him to live independently at a very young age, and he naturally knew how to cook.

While not comparable to any famous chef, they can certainly cook ordinary home-style dishes.

He felt embarrassed that he had only been eating and doing nothing at home, so now he takes care of all the meals and housework, which he considers a form of exercise.

This actually aligns with the training philosophy of the Turtle Hermit School: daily life and labor are forms of training.

Foreigners have different tastes than Chinese people, but that's okay, he can make appropriate adjustments.

Wanda and Pietro loved his tomato and egg noodles the most, the kind that was super sweet.

As for Western food, well, to be honest, it's not that difficult to learn on the spot.

"Oh, that's great!"

Upon hearing that there would be noodles to eat, the two little ones' disappointment vanished instantly, and they immediately clapped and nodded happily.

In their eyes, Brother Hawking was simply amazing. He could cook all sorts of delicious food, knew a great deal of knowledge, told them all sorts of stories they had never heard before, and always protected them like an adult.

"Hawking, this is a comic book my dad gave me a long time ago. I've already finished reading it. You can borrow it to take a look."

Before leaving with his sister Wanda, Pietro suddenly remembered something and handed a comic book to Hawking in a boastful manner.

"Thanks."

Hawking rubbed Pietro's head, who was half a head shorter than him, and casually took the comic book.

Although he wasn't particularly interested in comics, it was a child's gesture, and refusing it would hurt the child's feelings.

"And here's mine, this is my absolute favorite DVD, I'm giving it to you."

Not to be outdone, Wanda handed over a disc, which was the first season of her favorite sitcom, The Dick Van Dyck Show.

"Thank you anyway."

Hawking also patted little Wanda's head.

After the two left, he put the comics and DVDs aside and prepared to wash up before going down to the kitchen on the first floor.

However, just as he finished dressing and was about to go upstairs, he inadvertently glanced at the cover of the comic book, and his expression immediately changed.

"What's going on?"

The comic book cover depicted a woman holding a shield and a man with a red skull fighting, with several words prominently displayed next to them.

"Captain Carter vs. Red Skull".

Shouldn't it be Captain Carter fighting Red Skull instead of Captain America fighting Red Skull?

He picked up the comic book and quickly flipped through it, then murmured to himself:

"Could it be that I've traveled to that universe 838?!"
