Marvel: The games I made have invaded reality.

Chapter 91; Rockstar Games Launches, Item League Begins, Liberty City and Los Santos Shake Up

After checking it again and confirming that there were no problems, Merlin turned to look at Hammer's unmanned armor system again.

After the mute boy silently hacked in, he discovered that Ivan had hidden something within the system.

However, as the saying goes, "the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind," the three are like nested dolls, all hidden within this system.

"We'll wait until tomorrow."

During this time, in addition to securing the raw materials for the vampires, Merlin also took control of the alien nest and used a high-voltage current device to continuously stimulate the alien queen to lay eggs in order to increase the amount of materials needed for synthesis.

More than three thousand alien eggs will be used to synthesize Material 002 once the vampires arrive.

The 003 Deadpool Alien is still in a state of uncertainty. Since Deadpool found the Alien Queen, he has been treated as a perpetual motion machine, constantly producing aliens.

They are currently trapped in the tunnel like wild beasts, just waiting for the time to break free.

002 The Vampire Alien is infectious and has obvious weaknesses, making it a relatively common monster in the game.

The 003 Deadpool aliens are fewer in number, but they are all immortal, making them elite monsters.

Of course, since it's a game, there has to be a main storyline. Unlike the Lizard Incident game, this time there's only one main storyline: destroy the source of monster production—the Alien Nest.

Furthermore, with the development of androids and Marvin robots, the platform has become wealthier and can now offer some prizes.

…………

With the tournament approaching, Merlin meticulously rehearsed the game's unfolding scenarios to ensure nothing was overlooked.

This time, unlike the lizard incident, the preparations involved a much wider range of aspects.

"Little mute, how many skill chips have been produced so far?" Merlin suddenly remembered something and asked.

"1,630 combat proficiency chips, 1,660 firearms proficiency chips, 530 swordsmanship proficiency chips, 960 short dagger proficiency chips..."

"...a total of five thousand nine hundred," the little mute reported one by one.

"Three thousand were randomly selected for testing."

"OK."

…………

It was still a bit rushed, but we couldn't wait any longer; if we waited any longer, we would be exposed.

…………

By the time Merlin looked up from the computer, it was already past one in the morning.

"Ha~~~" He yawned, then closed his laptop, washed up, and prepared to lie down in bed and fall asleep.

But just then, a knocking sound suddenly came from the window, and Merlin, who had just lain down on the bed, immediately sat up and looked towards the window.

Under the bright moonlight, Gwen's Spider-Man, dressed in a black and white bodysuit that perfectly accentuated her figure, quietly crouched by the bedroom window.

"Spider-Man..." Merlin paused for a moment, then seemed to realize something, and his face immediately turned somewhat embarrassed.

It seems that Gwen had told him a while ago that she would invite him to a movie, but around that time Bullseye had just delivered Elman Metal to Optimus Prime to heal and modify him, and Hammer Industries had just completed the construction of Merlin Laboratory.

Therefore, he was always busy and rarely went home, so he forgot about it.

Merlin scratched his head, about to say hello, when the other person shoved a spider envelope into his hand, then, after giving Merlin a glare, leaped down and disappeared from the window.

"Okay..." He looked at the spiderweb-like envelope on the table and opened it.

"Meet me at the Lions Cinema in Queens at 10 PM three days from now! Don't disappear again!"

Merlin raised an eyebrow at the familiar handwriting.

"Three days later... about that."

After casually putting the envelope in the drawer, Merlin collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Tomorrow will be busy, so I need to get some rest.

…………

The following evening, at MacPherson Stadium.

"Merlin! Over here!" In the gymnasium corridor, Pepper, who had been waiting for a long time, waved and called out as soon as he saw Merlin.

Merlin, still carrying his steel backpack, quickly led the two of them to Pepper.

"Who are they?" Pepper hugged Merlin happily, then looked at the two women behind him with a puzzled expression.

One was a hot woman wearing a tank top that exposed a lot of her shoulders and navel, while the other was a woman wearing a formal pencil skirt, with her black hair neatly tied up, dressed smartly like a secretary.

However, upon closer inspection, the two individuals appeared expressionless, which seemed somewhat strange.

"Elna, Melinda... the androids I created over the past two months."

"Elna is a gift for Happy, while Melinda is an assistant-type android who can act as your assistant. Managing a company must be very stressful, right? Melinda can definitely help you a lot." After Merlin finished speaking, Melinda automatically walked up to Pepper.

"Hello, Miss Pepper, I am ML300, an assistant-type android."

Pepper stared wide-eyed at the incredibly lifelike Melinda in front of her and couldn't help but reach out and touch her face. The touch was almost indistinguishable from that of a human.

If Merlin hadn't just said that, she might not have been able to tell that the woman in front of her was an android.

"My God, I can't believe it, is she really an android?" Pepper exclaimed in amazement.

The newly hired secretary next to him also looked at the android in front of him with surprise.

"So... what model is she?" After talking with Melinda, Pepper turned her gaze to the hot-bodied Elna.

"Hmm... Mr. Happy is still single, isn't he? So you know..." Merlin paused, waved his hand, and said meaningfully.

"Indeed..." Pepper nodded in understanding and smiled.

"Okay, even though I've already hired an assistant, one more won't be a problem."

Merlin glanced at Pepper's new assistant. He remembered that it was originally supposed to be Natasha's, but her identity had already been exposed to Stark during the rescue mission.

The person in front of me...

Agent Hill.

The name immediately popped into his mind.

"Justin Hammer! His booth is in the main hall. The exhibition is about to begin. Please enter the hall as soon as possible." At this moment, a notification sound rang out in the stadium.

"Let's go inside. To be honest, when the Steel Legion came out, I thought it was something you made for Hammer Industries." Pepper smiled at Merlin and then headed towards the main hall.

Melinda quickly followed.

"I've been so busy this month, I haven't had any time to make Iron Man armor."

"I came here to see who can create Iron Man armor like Stark."

…………

As they talked, they arrived at the spacious main hall. When they arrived, the place was already packed with people. Military and government officials, as well as technology companies from all walks of life, had come to participate in the exhibition.

After all, this is a groundbreaking technology exhibition, just like Iron Man.

…………

"Knock knock knock..."

As a burst of rousing saxophone music began, Hammer, on the booth, flamboyantly tap-danced to the beat of the drums and walked to the microphone.

"Yay!!!" Hammer shouted down as if he were on home turf.

"Clap clap clap clap..." Sparse applause rang out from below, which was considered a small gesture of respect for him.

"I think... why don't you join Stark Industries? Your boss seems a bit... "

"Like a clown," Merlin bluntly stated Pepper's thought.

"Pretty much. Anyway, I'm the CEO now, and I'm in charge of the company. I don't need to worry about that Stark guy anymore."

Leaving aside the Baymax medical robot, today's android really frightened her. If she could bring Stark Industries over, it seems the arms ban wouldn't be so strict.

"Let's talk about it after the exhibition ends today," Merlin shook his head, not giving a direct answer.

Pepper rested her chin on her hand and pondered for a moment. She felt she should go back and talk to Stark about it.

At this moment, the music in the hall stopped, and Hammer on the stage finally began to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, for too long our nation has sent brave soldiers to fight at great personal risk."

"Then Iron Man arrived, and we thought we wouldn't lose any more lives!"

"But... he refuses to disclose his advanced technology, which is unfair! It's wrong!"

"That's such a shame..." Hammer shook his head regretfully, seemingly condemning Stark's selfish behavior.

Pepper, sitting in the audience, nearly rolled her eyes out when she heard Hammer's shameless remarks.

Merlin was used to the other party's shamelessness. He talked about fairness and openness, but Hammer Industries only supplied armor to the American military, while keeping the technology tightly under its wing.

"However... today, ladies and gentlemen!"

"We at Hammer Industries will strive to be at the forefront of global technological advancement, and we are proud to introduce ourselves to you!"

Hammer paused for a moment, then began to introduce the topic solemnly, word by word.

"A brand new face in the US military—the Hammer Steel Soldiers!"

The moment he finished speaking, the rousing music started up again, and the swaying sound of the elevator echoed throughout the hall.

"Army Steel Soldiers!"

A row of heavy, gray, fortress-like steel armor slowly rose on the display stand, each of the army armors equipped with an anti-aircraft cannon that resembled an antenna.

"Naval Steelworkers!"

A legion of blue-clad naval soldiers carrying missile launchers on their shoulders rose up.

Next up are the Air Force and the Marine Corps, the steel legions.

The armored vehicles were unusually bulky, resembling Shield Mountain and burly gorillas.

"Clap clap clap clap clap..." The enthusiastic applause, accompanied by bursts of rousing and festive music, raised the atmosphere of the scene.

"Although this is revolutionary technology, soldiers are still needed!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is an honor to introduce the first Air Force rapid reaction individual combat suit and its pilot..."

"James Rhodes!"

…………

"What?!" Pepper's eyes widened when she saw Rhodes appear wearing the armor made by Stark.

"Fuck! These people are robbers! These are clearly Stark's stuff, they just added some weird weapons and called them theirs?" She couldn't help but curse when she saw the abnormally bulky modified Iron Man armor.

Recently, she has been negotiating with the military about the armor, but she didn't expect that the other party would directly take away the right to use it.

They even displayed it openly.

Just as she was about to step forward, a whooshing sound suddenly rang out overhead, attracting the attention of all the spectators present.

"Hmm... Our Iron Man is coming!" Merlin smiled when he saw the familiar figure.

The original circular energy source on the opponent's chest was gone, replaced by a new triangular ark reactor.

In other words, Stark has found a new element!

"Bang!"

"Whoa!!!"

"Clap clap clap clap clap!!!"

"Ohh ...

The moment Iron Man landed, the entire venue erupted like gunpowder! Everyone stood up excitedly and cheered loudly.

This demonstrates Iron Man's prestige within Apple City.

"It's starting!" Merlin grinned excitedly when he saw Stark arrive.

"The game is finally about to begin!"

…………

After a heroic landing, Stark slowly rose to his feet and looked at the war machine in front of him. Just as he was about to speak, a piece of music that made him tremble suddenly started playing.

That's right! The same voice was heard in the lizard incident too!

His heart skipped a beat. Was it coming again?

Suddenly, the lights in the entire venue went out, and then a picture appeared on the large screen on the exhibition stand. The picture showed a ferocious-looking, pitch-black vampire with hideous fangs, like a velociraptor version of a vampire alien.

Its eerie, smooth, jet-black exterior, the sticky liquid dripping from the corner of its mouth... all evoke a sense of unease.

But remember not to prepare for too long.
