Marvel: The games I made have invaded reality.

Chapter 72; Alien! Arcee Gundam, Human-Machine Integration (5,000 words)

A month later.

Inside a villa in a neighborhood near Third Avenue in Manhattan.

A game streamer is currently engrossed in broadcasting live from his computer.

In the game, the android detective Connor, under his control, arrives on the rooftop. On the edge of the opposite rooftop, the android superhuman Daniel is holding a little girl hostage with a pistol, and is in a highly agitated state.

"I know they want to replace you, and you're unhappy about it, isn't that right?" Connor asked, drawing on the clues he had just gathered.

Daniel, holding a pistol to the little girl's head, said with a look of grief and indignation, "I thought I was part of this family, I thought they cared about me..."

"In the end, I was just a toy, something to be used and then thrown away!"

…………

1. Use of firearms

2. Sacrifice yourself

3 Compromise

4. Rejection

"Guys, we've tried to appease him as much as possible. We can see that Daniel's trust level is already 99%. For the final step, we'll choose to compromise." Calvo interacted with the audience while clicking option 3.

After clicking the option, Connor in the game spoke again.

"Daniel, you have to trust me. Release the hostage, and I promise you'll be fine!"

Daniel swallowed hard. "I don't want to die..."

"You'll be fine, we're just talking, nothing will happen, I promise!"

Daniel stared at Connor, his lively expression and eyes making the anchor and viewers feel as if the other person was looking at them on the screen.

100% success rate!

"OK...I believe you..." After the success rate reached 100%, the abnormal android chose to believe Connor and released the hostage.

Calvo smiled when he saw the hostages leave safely.

"While the game's character modeling and storyline are exquisite, the gameplay..."

"Bang!"

But the next moment, a gunshot in the game startled him.

In the scene, the sniper hidden in the shadows pulled the trigger without hesitation, and Daniel's head parts were instantly blown off, blue splattering everywhere.

"Thump!" Daniel fell to his knees, staring at you in disbelief.

"You lied to me... Connor! You actually lied to me!"

Kavor stared blankly at Daniel's questioning and disappointed eyes through the screen.

The intense background drumbeats then began, making his heart pound.

…………

After a long while, Calvo snapped out of his daze as he watched Connor leave expressionlessly and the mission completed.

"Well, it seems this game isn't as simple as it seems."

Honestly, my heart skipped a beat when Daniel was hit.

Yes, especially the other person's eyes, they were so real.

I was wrong. I thought Rockstar's new storyline would be a super-exciting shooting game. I was so naive.

…………

A flood of audience comments appeared.

Calvo glanced at the number of viewers on his live stream; it had already reached over a million, whereas normally he only had around a hundred thousand.

The Apple City affair could no longer be kept secret, and the mysterious Rockstar Games platform also came into the global spotlight, attracting much attention both online and offline.

Therefore, when Rockstar's new story game was released, many game owners immediately went to find it on the map.

Basically, if a player starts streaming, the viewership will be high.

Players have found another way to get rich.

…………

[New game reputation points have reached 10 million... 20 million... 30 million... 50 million...]

Merlin, who had just left the hospital, felt like crying as he listened to the constantly flashing reputation points in his mind. He thought back to when the Morality and Rule of Law were released, when it was only a mere five million a month.

Now that their reputation has spread, their fame skyrocketed as soon as the new game was released.

[Congratulations, host, on acquiring medical android chip technology, security android chip technology, domestic android technology, sex toy android technology... android exoskeleton technology, and blue-blood energy technology.]

【智力+1+1+1+1+1】

A total of fifty million, which is exactly five points of intelligence.

With this wave of advancements, they have essentially acquired all the technologies related to androids.

Good heavens, I've never been this rich before.

It looks like we'll have to go on a bigger spree next time.

"So happy to be discharged?" Happy, holding Merlin's belongings, saw Merlin grinning foolishly in the sun and wondered if the child had gone crazy from being in the hospital or if the explosion had left him with aftereffects.

"Oh, I just remembered something happy." Merlin helped Happy put his luggage into the trunk and smiled.

"Thank you so much for your help during this time."

"It's nothing, as long as you're safe."

After closing the trunk lid, Merlin sat in the back seat.

After Happy was seated in the driver's seat, he suddenly remembered something, leaned forward, and whispered, "Do you know anything about androids?"

"An android? An AI girlfriend?"

"right!"

"Of course I know, but right now, apart from silicone... well, the technology isn't mature yet. If it comes out, I'll definitely buy one." He seemed to realize he was being a bit inappropriate and quickly changed the subject.

What type of person do you like?

"Of course, it's the hot and sexy ones," Happy replied without hesitation.

"OK, got it!" Merlin nodded and sat back down.

"Why are you asking these questions?" Happy asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I'm just curious to find out more." Merlin waved his hand, not saying anything more.

Happy shrugged, not paying much attention, and started the car.

…………

……

"Green people's lives matter too! We need equality!!!"

"Equality for all!!! Green people should not be discriminated against!"

"We are the victims!"

…………

As Happy drove Merlin through the streets of Manhattan, a group of green-skinned and black people crowded the streets with signs and began to march.

Over the course of the past month, urban transportation and the economy have gradually recovered.

On the players' side, after investigation, the police detained several individuals with more serious crimes.

As for the Green Men... there are hundreds of thousands of them, and there are simply not enough prison cells to hold them all. Under pressure, they were eventually released after only a few words of advice.

However, after being released, some of the Green Men faced rejection from their families and fear and discrimination from passersby. Eventually, some of the Green Men, familiar with the situation, gathered other friends and began to march in the streets.

The slogans were still the same, only now the black people had been replaced with green ones.

Some associations have also set their sights on the political power of these hundreds of thousands of people and have begun to intervene.

That's how the Black people joined the Green Men.

"This city is always so magical, but at least it's more reasonable than those environmentalists," Happy said casually, looking out the car window at the parade.

Merlin raised an eyebrow, looking thoughtfully at the green man outside.

…………

After getting home, Happy told him to be careful and then drove away.

Because of Stark Industries' transformation, the company's stock skyrocketed after the building was rebuilt, keeping Stark and Pepper extremely busy every day.

However, Pepper was preoccupied with company matters, while Stark was engrossed in researching the Transformers' spark at his villa.

After the war, most of the Decepticons, including Starscream, escaped the scene first. Only Frenzy, being a rather cumbersome tank, was torn to pieces by Ironhide and his crew, and its embers were casually placed in the Rockstar Store by Merlin.

Stark, of course, readily bought the spark. After selling the Arc Reactor, he was looking for a way to spend his money.

I've been staying home lately, mostly trying to figure out what to do about my palladium poisoning.

While palladium solved the biggest problem of cold fusion, if it is embedded in the body, it can generate toxins, leading to palladium poisoning.

Stark clearly wants to replace the new elements by studying the energy contained in the spark of Cybertron.

Or perhaps they will discover new energy sources.

…………

Merlin opened the door and saw that the house was spotless; clearly, someone had helped tidy up during his month-long absence.

Merlin grabbed a bottle of cola, sat on the sofa, turned on his computer, and began to consider the matter of creating androids.

"Ding!" At that moment, an email popped up, with the name Hammer Industries in the email address.

Hey Merlin, I heard you've been discharged from the hospital. Interested in joining me for the Monaco Formula 1 race next week?

The Monte Carlo circuit in Monaco is one of the world's four most famous circuits. It is a street circuit and the shortest F1 circuit. It has the most famous tunnel and the slowest corners, requiring extremely high skill.

The championship at this race is something many racing drivers dream of.

Upon seeing this email, Merlin roughly guessed some of Hammer's predicament.

Originally, after Stark closed its weapons business, Hammer Industries had the opportunity to become the leader in the defense industry, and this was indeed the case with the surge in defense weapons orders.

However, once Iron Man's identity was revealed, the mere mention of cold nuclear fusion energy overwhelmed Hammer Industries once again.

Some time ago, he even contacted members of Congress, wanting to convene a meeting through moral condemnation to force Stark to hand over the Iron Man armor technology.

But he was humiliated in court.

All the embarrassing incidents that happened when Hammer Industries collaborated with the military to research mecha armor were exposed.

…………

Upon seeing the email invitation from Justin Hammer, Merlin's eyes lit up as he pondered.

Just when we were worried about the production of androids, this happened.

Merlin replied with an email, agreeing.

Once the problems with androids are solved, the problems with mass production of satellites and weapon vehicles can also be solved.

"Phew... next up is..."

"Hehehe..." We can't waste the android technology.

He quickly began modeling on the computer: Rem, Saber, 02, Nezuko, Esdeath...

Let's put professional chips and such aside for now.

"Ding!" But just as he selected a plan, another pop-up window appeared.

However, this time it was the little mute who called, so something must have happened offline.

Los Santos?

Recently, they have started to expand offline to Los Angeles, but they haven't recruited any players yet; they're just testing the waters.

Clicking on it reveals a surveillance video. The video was taken at night on a relatively secluded street, where it was completely silent and there wasn't a soul in sight.

Just then, a dark figure suddenly darted out, but the next moment it seemed to have been hit by a heavy blow and collapsed to the ground.

After Merlin saw the true face of the shadowy figure in the image, he couldn't resist moving closer.

"Alien?"

In the image, a creature that walks on two legs like a Tyrannosaurus Rex has a body structure that resembles a skeleton cast in steel, with exposed teeth, a long skull that runs down its back, sharp claws and bone spikes, and layers of bone whips that resemble a natural killing weapon.

The reason it suddenly stopped was a burly humanoid creature that slowly appeared, wearing an ancient and bloody mask and exuding the aura of a savage hunter.

Predator.

The two sides clashed like savage beasts, ultimately ending with the Predator ripping off the Xenomorph's head.

"Bang!"

"Buzz buzz buzz..." The surveillance camera was destroyed, and the image disappeared.

"Hmm...an unexpected bonus!" Merlin looked at the photos of the Xenomorph and Predator he had captured and couldn't help but show his excitement.

"Little mute, keep track of them and see if there are any other aliens. It would be even better if we could find their lair."

Predator, Alien...

He wasn't too concerned about the Predator, but he was more interested in the Alien...

…………

Because of the appearance of the Alien and the Predator, Merlin felt a sense of urgency and immediately began designing his own Transformers armor.

He plans to continue modifying Arcee, but this time he will not modify her original form, but rather enlarge her size and engine, transforming her into a Gundam form.

Simultaneous connection is achieved to realize the effect of human-machine integration.

Without hesitation, he immediately began designing the blueprints according to the ideas in his mind.

…………

In the evening, Merlin returned to Merlin Modification Shop, which was well preserved because it was equipped with an electronic security system and was located in a remote area.

"Whoosh..." The roller shutter slowly rose, and Arcee quietly stopped at her workstation. Upon seeing Merlin, she immediately transformed into human form with great joy.

"Merlin, are you alright?"

After it was over, Optimus Prime led them away first and hid in Merlin's modification shop.

Optimus Prime was severely injured, and they could only wait for Merlin to return.

"It's all done. Go check on the pillar." After Merlin finished speaking, he stroked his chin and stared at Arcee for a while, beginning to imagine the other's modification plan in his mind.

"Um... are you really alright?" Arcee felt a little shy as Merlin stared intently at her.

"Of course it's nothing, I just want to become one with you."

"ah!?"

Merlin ignored Arcee, who had turned into a motorcycle, and was about to go to the backyard to look for Optimus Prime and the others when the roller shutter door opened again.

A middle-aged man with a receding hairline, dressed in a formal suit, walked in.

"Hello! I'm Coulson, my name is a bit long, you should know it by now." Coulson took out his ID and introduced himself in a friendly manner.

"Yes, I know. Please come in." Merlin invited him into the shop.

After entering, Coulson paused briefly at the modified Ducati at his workstation before politely walking over to the sofa and sitting down.

"Would you like some Coke?"

"No, thank you, that would affect the growth of my hair follicles."

Merlin couldn't help but chuckle. "You're quite the comedian. What's up?"

"I've been waiting for you. Congratulations on your recovery."

"Thank you! But it's not a serious injury. I could have been discharged in two weeks, but Ms. Pepper kept stopping me."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, once the atmosphere was right, Coulson got down to business.

"I've come to invite you to join a team of superheroes. Mr. Stark has agreed, and you're on the shortlist."

"Superheroes?" Merlin thought of something, took the document and looked at it.

The Avengers...

"As expected..." He raised an eyebrow knowingly when he saw the English annotations on the document.

"Becoming a candidate will not have a significant impact on your life; you will simply be called upon when needed."

"Of course, you will also have many privileges, such as all your violations can be wiped clean."

Most of the things Merlin did were illegal, including modifying weapons and firearms, heavily modifying vehicles, and he also became a partner of the platform.

Because the situation in Apple City has not yet calmed down, once things stabilize, there will definitely be a crackdown on the platform's partners.

If I can't find a platform to counter your schemes, and I can't shut down the platform, then I can at least crack down on your offline collaborations, right?

Furthermore, according to Natasha, the other party also privately developed armed helicopters, frequently hacked into the police system and surveillance, and planned missions.

"What you can give me, District Seven can give me too, so it's not very appealing," Merlin said indifferently, handing the proposal back.

Coulson wasn't surprised and calmly smiled, "You probably don't know this, but in the past month, District Seven has been disbanded."

"The agent who contacted you, Simonster, has also been dismissed for negligence."

"You've been fired?" Merlin was somewhat surprised, not expecting it to happen so quickly.

"You probably don't want George to know about your situation, so I bypassed him and came directly to you." Coulson pushed the plan back again.

Merlin: "…………"

"I'll think about it. The president of Hammer Industries invited me today. Rather than joining a secret service, I prefer to focus on research." Merlin shook his head and pushed the proposal back again.

"I believe Hammer Industries can also solve these problems for me."

"Well... alright, we respect your wishes." Coulson paused for a moment, but didn't make any threats or threats. He calmly withdrew the proposal and provided his contact information.

"If you'd like to join, feel free to contact me; I'm always available."

Hammer Industries can indeed solve Merlin's problems now, and even the old ones weren't a problem.

"Okay! Is there anything else?" Merlin stood up to see the guest out.

Coulson looked at Arcee at her workstation and was about to speak when a ringing bell suddenly interrupted him.

"Sorry..." He took out his phone and answered the call.

Not long after, he regretfully put down his phone.

"The team welcomes you anytime. I have something urgent to attend to, so I'll be leaving now." He shook hands with Merlin and then hurriedly left the shop.

A mysterious meteorite landed in New Mexico last night, leaving behind a mysterious hammer in the crater. Is it a coincidence or an extraterrestrial event?
