Marvel: The games I made have invaded reality.

Chapter 87; Justine Hammer, Contract Signing, Merlin Laboratory Established

After Merlin's healing and modification, Optimus Prime underwent a complete transformation. His injured areas were basically filled with adamantium, and his overall power and physique were greatly enhanced.

It's like how humans modified mechanical prosthetics.

"Are there any problems now?" Merlin asked with a smile, seeing their excited expressions.

"There's absolutely no problem; it's even more powerful than before."

"If I didn't see you repairing it yourself every day, I really wouldn't believe that a human could do this." Ratchet stroked Optimus Prime's body with a look of fascination, praising him excitedly.

"Hey! Hey! Don't touch me like that!" Although the Cybertronian features weren't very obvious, Optimus Prime still felt uncomfortable when the ambulance touched him like that.

"Boss, I've never asked you for anything, just let me take a look!" The ambulance continued to press against Optimus Prime relentlessly.

"Get out of my way, or I'll tear you apart!" Optimus Prime shoved his face and said helplessly.

"That's perfect, let Merlin give me a makeover too!"

Seeing the ambulance that wouldn't listen to reason, Optimus Prime was starting to feel numb.

…………

"What are your plans for the future?" Merlin asked, perched on Bumblebee's shoulder.

They sat together and began to discuss.

"Find Megatron and retrieve the AllSpark," Optimus Prime immediately declared.

"Um... to be more specific, the Earth is so big, you can't just have a few people searching for it."

"I have already sent a signal to Cybertron, and they should arrive on Earth one after another in the next few years."

"The Decepticons are the same; we can only fight them by cooperating with the military," Optimus Prime said after a moment's thought. These were ideas he had come up with during his recovery period.

"This is indeed a good option, after all, the military controls the satellites."

Compared to them roaming around the earth and constantly being tracked by human militaries, cooperation is the best option.

"I will forward your applications to various countries, but it would be best to wait until the Decepticons have made a certain impact on Earth before making a move."

"Understood!" Optimus Prime nodded. If they rashly showed up without any enemies, they would be treated as enemies.

They then discussed some more details, and Merlin left the shop after getting Simmons' contact information.

Once Whiplash joins Hammer Industries, we can start preparing for the next game.

…………

Merlin had just returned home when he was greeted by George, who had been waiting for him. A woman with red hair and wearing a long black dress was standing next to him.

"I'm Justine Hammer. My father sent me to discuss a contract with you," Justine introduced herself, tucking a strand of her long red hair behind her ear and giving a slight smile to her red lips.

"We need to discuss the contract from Hammer Industries," George said, waving the folder in his hand.

Merlin nodded and then opened the door to let the two into the room.

"Are you really sure you want to join Hammer Industries?" George asked seriously after the two sat down.

"Yes, Mr. Hammer has invited me many times, and only Hammer Industries can help with my research, so I can't refuse," Merlin nodded and explained.

"Mr. Hammer values ​​me highly, and I think joining Hammer Industries is a good choice."

"Yes, actually my father was going to come in person today, but he had some urgent business to attend to and couldn't get away. However, to show his sincerity, he still sent me instead," Justine chimed in with a smile.

But deep down I was thinking that this guy was indeed a high school student, with naive ideas.

She had recently heard that her father, Hammer, had found a scientist who could create a legion of Iron Man armor, so Merlin was no longer the most important person.

So this time they just sent her instead of her coming in person.

"Hammer Industries... I don't think it's very good," George said suddenly after a moment of thought.

He wasn't very optimistic about Hammer Industries, especially after Stark exposed their embarrassing incident some time ago. The company gave off a... clown-like feeling.

Upon hearing George's words, before Merlin could even speak, Justine's heart tightened.

"I know Sheriff George may have some prejudice against our company, but setbacks are inevitable in the process of development."

"But this setback doesn't define the future," she quickly said.

George shook his head noncommittally, then looked at Merlin, "I've read the contract. Although the terms are very generous, it's essentially selling ourselves to Hammer Industries. We can concede a little on that."

"Okay!" Merlin nodded.

George then mentioned many details of the contract, but said that all changes would be made only after obtaining Merlin's consent.

Ultimately, Justine reluctantly revised some parts of the contract, and the conversation only ended after Merlin signed it.

…………

"Welcome to Hammer Industries!" Although it was somewhat different from what was expected, Justine was still very enthusiastic about Merlin's joining.

"I hope the new department and funding can be finalized as soon as possible. I can't wait to start work," Merlin said with a smile, shaking hands.

"must!"

After exchanging a few polite words, Justine left the apartment with the contract.

"What are you planning to do about the school?" George asked as he turned around after Justine left.

"I explained the situation to the principal, and he agreed. I can just come to the prom when I graduate," Merlin replied. "The school should have already sent you the email."

"That's good. Remember to contact me if you need anything in the future." Hearing that Merlin had already made arrangements, George felt relieved.

…………

……

One month later, in the western suburbs of Apple City, at the Merlin Laboratory.

Hammer Industries has a close working relationship with the U.S. government, even collaborating at a meeting in Washington in an attempt to extract Stark's armor technology.

Hammer Industries was responsible for manufacturing the equipment and supplying it to the Eagle Nation's military.

But now, he has found another person who can make armor: Ivan.

At the end of the month, Hammer Industries will hold a press conference to launch its mech army, and boldly declare that the highest technology in future warfare will be Hammer Industries' mechs.

Hammer Industries will continue to lead the world as the number one technology company.

Merlin's addition didn't cause much of a stir, and he was happy to relax as long as the conditions weren't too many.

As stipulated in the contract, Hammer Industries built him a laboratory covering more than 6,000 square meters in the suburbs of Apple City.

The funding was also in place.

"Merlin, this will be your laboratory from now on. Don't you really need any assistants or anything?" Justine, who was still in charge of welcoming them, looked at the empty laboratory and asked in confusion.

"As long as the purchasing department has no problems, that's fine!" Having androids will be enough from now on.
