Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

Sherlock's lips curled into a slight smile as he plopped down in a chair next to the table, picked up the tablet, and began examining its contents.

According to the information on the tablet, the entire tower is divided into three areas. The bottom level is the commercial area, which combines entertainment, commercial weapons forging, and even training grounds.

It covers a vast area, and has everything that exists outside, as well as things that don't exist outside.

In other words, within the commercial area below, you can have almost anything you want, regardless of whether it would be illegal outside the tower.

The middle level is the residential area, where most of the superhumans of the Pure Realm live. Interestingly, aside from the differences in room size due to body size, almost every room is configured the same as the room Sherlock is currently in, and no changes are allowed.

In other words, you can't take over other people's rooms just because you have money. Each person has one and only one room, and the room size cannot be changed unless an application is made on the tablet due to uncontrollable factors.

The only uncontrollable factor is the small room size caused by changes in body shape.

Just like the Hulk and Dr. Banner in their normal state, the room where Sherlock is usually is more than enough for Dr. Banner, but it is quite cramped for the Hulk.

Furthermore, any fighting is strictly prohibited inside the tower except in the training grounds, and even deathmatches are forbidden within the training grounds. Unless something unexpected happens, the Hulk's size will remain constant, like Dr. Banner in the future.

As for the top level of the remaining tower, it has been designated as a restricted area. Access to the upper level of the tower requires authorization. If someone forcibly enters, they will be regarded as an intruder by the Clean Realm, and a high bounty will be placed on their head. They will be ostracized by the entire Clean Realm without exception.

According to the tablet, if someone forces their way into a high-level building, they won't even be exiled; they'll only face death.

However, these rules made Sherlock frown even more. The reason was simple: the rules inside the tower were actually creating a utopia for the superhumans based on these rules.

In other words, if you follow the rules of the tower, you are a member of the utopia; if you break them, you will fall from the clouds to the ground.

Most importantly, although at the beginning, the cult leader Jay repeatedly told Sherlock that the duty of the superhumans in the Cleansing Realm was to eliminate the invasion of the Impure Realm and protect the daily lives of the Cleansing Realm's civilians, Sherlock actually did not see any regulations related to the civilians outside the slab inside.

In other words, the superhumans inside the tower do not actually prohibit superhumans from persecuting ordinary people; the only remaining standard is that they cannot be discovered!

Or to be more precise, don't give them any leverage. As long as you don't give them any leverage and follow the rules, this is a paradise for the extraordinary.

Chapter 764 An Unconventional Drinking Party

As we all know, the so-called utopia, although it looks like a paradise, is in reality not as wonderful as it seems. Moreover, Sherlock absolutely does not believe that this place is really a so-called utopia.

Keep in mind that this is Sakaar, the cosmic junkyard, a place known as a place of exile. The probability of a utopian society emerging here is about the same as winning five million in the lottery and being pursued by Liu Yifei.

Furthermore, the cult leader Jay was talking about a dimensional matter. The so-called Pure Realm, Impure Realm, Chaotic Realm, and Dirty Realm are definitely not ordinary dimensional existences. You must know that the energy of the dimensional lord is not such a simple matter.

Given the Grandmaster's comical level, calling him the Lord of Dimensions is really a bit of a disregard for a being like Dormammu, even though this is Sakaar.

The so-called dimension theory can only fool people who don't know the truth; Sherlock would never believe it.

Most importantly, the moment those two pairs of best friends advanced, the awkward feeling that lingered in Sherlock's heart never subsided, and it even intensified after they reached the tower.

It's obvious there's a big secret here, but for now, Sherlock has only just arrived and hasn't figured out what the so-called 'Lord Tianyuan' is up to.

Moreover, with the captain still in their hands, Sherlock couldn't just launch an attack without fully understanding the situation.

As luck would have it, just as Sherlock was thinking about the captain, there was a knock on the door. The knocking interrupted Sherlock's thoughts, which annoyed him a bit. However, when Sherlock opened the door, the scene in front of him still left him somewhat taken aback.

Because standing in front of Sherlock was none other than Captain Steve Rogers.

However, at this moment, Sherlock almost didn't recognize the captain.

The captain standing at Sherlock's door no longer looked like he did when he first set off from Earth in his all-black combat uniform. He was now wearing a cowboy hat typical of Western cowboys, a leather vest, a large beard, and trousers with a distinctly Western style.

Through the shirt beneath the leather vest, Sherlock could still vaguely see the black combat suit the captain had brought from Earth, except that only one of the two shields on the arm remained.

Most importantly, the captain had a revolver hanging on his waist and a samurai sword hanging on the other side.

This damned eclectic style left Sherlock completely stunned. He even had to double-check before recognizing the person in front of him as the captain.

The captain's reaction completely surprised Sherlock. After Sherlock opened the door and confirmed that Sherlock recognized him, a frivolous smile immediately appeared on the captain's face.

After raising his arms and enthusiastically pushing Sherlock into the house, he greeted Sherlock with great excitement.

"Su Nuo! You really came! I knew you would never abandon me. It's been so long, I missed you so much!"

The captain called out Sherlock's pseudonym name instead of his real name, which made Sherlock narrow his eyes slightly. He didn't reply, but instead crossed his arms, wanting to see what the captain was up to.

The captain seemed to have expected Sherlock's reaction completely, paying no attention to it whatsoever. Instead, he put his arm around Sherlock's shoulder and spoke to him very enthusiastically.

"Come on, come on, I'll treat you to a drink! I've been here for five years, and I've made some friends. Let me introduce you to them, and I can also show you some of my new skills!"

After saying this, the captain grabbed Sherlock's arm and pulled him toward the room without saying another word. However, Sherlock noticed that when the captain pulled his arm, he deliberately chose the arm that Sherlock had used to draw blood, and even pressed hard on the needle hole that Sherlock had just used to draw blood while pulling him.

Seeing the captain's demeanor, even if Sherlock were stupid, he would know that the blood draw just now was definitely suspicious, and there was a high probability that there was surveillance inside the tower, which prevented the captain from showing any abnormality.

That's why Sherlock didn't refuse the captain. He was pulled out of the room by the captain and, following the captain's instructions, took an elevator to the commercial district below the tower.

This was Sherlock's second visit to the commercial area inside the tower. However, compared to the first time he was brought here by Teacher Wu and only caught a fleeting glimpse, this time, with the captain leading the way, Sherlock had a much more thorough look around.

It must be said that the commercial area inside the tower is quite developed, with a wide variety of shops that exude a cyberpunk vibe, and the things they sell are truly astonishing to Sherlock.

If I had to pinpoint the difference between this and cyberpunk, it would be that the commercial area inside the tower lacks the dark alleyways found in cyberpunk.

The entire commercial area was brightly lit, and the roads were so clean and tidy that it was almost excessive.

Along the way, the captain chattered away, introducing Sherlock to the goods and functions of the surrounding shops, as if they were old friends he hadn't seen in a long time.

The captain's enthusiasm only vanished after he led Sherlock into a bar and into a private room, though he still maintained that warm smile on his face.

Meanwhile, some people were already seated in the private room, and among them were two people Sherlock was very familiar with: one was the cult leader, Jay, whom he had just met, and the other was the teacher, Wu.

As for the remaining few people, although Sherlock had never met them before, he could still recognize them to some extent from some of their characteristics.

The guy with long, dark red hair tied in a half-ponytail, a knife hanging at his waist, and earrings on his ears looked exactly like a grown-up Tanjiro from Demon Slayer.

Aside from Tanjiro, the other guy sitting next to him was undoubtedly more eye-catching.

There's no other reason than that this person is simply too tall, and his clothes are also extremely distinctive, making him easily recognizable.

Corazon!

Doflamingo's younger brother from One Piece, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. His ability is the Silent Field, which can make all sound disappear within a certain range!

Strangely, after the captain led Sherlock into the private room, neither the cult leader Jie nor the teacher Wu Tongyan, who knew Sherlock's identity, revealed it to him. They continued to call Sherlock by the name he used under his pseudonym, Su Nuo.

Not only that, but he even enthusiastically invited Sherlock to drink with him, though the teacher was drinking juice.

The six people, including Sherlock, drank and chatted in the private room, showing no signs of anything amiss. They didn't discuss anything related to the Cleansing Realm, only talking about random gossip and amusement. Sherlock could also sense that Corazon's power was actually shrouding the room the whole time.

It wasn't until after several rounds of drinks that Sherlock finally managed to piece together the message the captain wanted to leave him, during a brief moment when the captain was drunk and interacting with him.

"Agreed to stay inside the tower."

Chapter 765 A Drinking Party Packed with Information

After delivering the message to Sherlock, the captain clearly began to relax, and the conversation shifted from gossip to his observations of the so-called Pure Realm.

Through the captain's conversation, Sherlock sketched out a simple map of the Pure Land in his mind.

The entire Pure Realm is a large residential area with the central tower where they reside as its core and six branch towers as its guards. The six branch towers are located in the six directions of the tower, forming a kind of circular archway.

Between the central tower and the surrounding branch towers lies a vast expanse of farmland in the Pure Realm, while beyond the branch towers is a forest stretching for tens of kilometers around the entire Pure Realm, known as the Misty Forest.

That forest is shrouded in a poisonous mist all year round, and it was also the outpost for the invasion of the Pure Realm by the Impure Realm. However, due to the terrain and the poisonous mist, even though people from the Pure Realm knew something was wrong there, they would not casually step into the misty forest.

Of course, there are always one or two days each year when the fog in the Misty Forest dissipates, and that is the time for the Purification Realm to eliminate the monsters hidden in the forest.

Almost every year, the Pure Realm sends out so-called superhuman expeditionary forces to clear out the monsters in the Misty Forest when the fog dissipates.

As for what lies beyond the forest?

Of course, some extraordinary individuals would be curious about this question. After all, in the original world, most extraordinary individuals were the chosen ones, so they would naturally be suspicious of the so-called Cleansing Realm.

However, the reality is quite cruel. It's not that no one has left the Misty Forest to see what lies beyond it, but rather that after seeing what lies beyond the Misty Forest, they have become even more convinced of the so-called Pure Realm Dimension.

The reason is simple: outside the Misty Forest lies an endless sea of ​​garbage!

After all, this is Sakaar, the garbage dump of the universe. It is perfectly normal for a sea of ​​garbage to appear here. Or rather, the most difficult thing is that a 'paradise' like the Pure Realm has been preserved in such a sea of ​​garbage.

As for other things like the Impure Realm, it's mostly because the people of the Pure Realm have personally witnessed the invasion of the Impure Realm, with a monster the size of Godzilla crossing the Misty Forest to attack the Pure Realm.

According to legend, the superhumans of the entire Pure Realm suffered heavy casualties in that battle, and even the cities were severely damaged. However, the outcome was relatively good. They destroyed the giant monster that the Impure Realm had released to attack the Pure Realm, and the Impure Realm has remained peaceful until now.

None of the people present at the scene of that battle participated, but they had personally witnessed the videos and evidence, which cannot be faked.

Sherlock listened silently to the information his captain and the others present revealed to him in a casual tone, and quietly organized it without saying much.

It wasn't until after a few rounds of drinks that the captain started clamoring to show Sherlock his new skills and dragged him to the arena inside the tower.

The others present did not object. Corazon even withdrew his Silence Zone as soon as the captain stood up, allowing the ambient sounds to return to his ears, as if the Silence Zone had been created simply to allow for a quiet reunion dinner, as if it were the natural course of action.

Sherlock naturally noticed this, silently noted it down, and then followed a group of people toward the arena, while letting Teacher Wu drape his arm over him as if he had no bones.

Even after arriving at the arena and Sherlock and the others took their seats in the audience, Teacher Satoru clung to Sherlock.

Sherlock, however, paid no attention to the teacher's behavior. Instead, he looked at the captain and Tanjiro, who had almost simultaneously drawn their katanas from their waists.

As the whistle blew, Sherlock's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

It's quite normal for Tanjiro to use Sun Breathing and unleash flames as bright as the sun, but it's really abnormal for the captain to be able to unleash flames in the same way!

Captain Nima, who's known for his muscular, physically strong kung fu skills, has started using enchanted attacks?

This is as outrageous as Captain America and Agent Carter's niece having a second marriage!

Sherlock almost instinctively wanted to use his Analytical Manifestation to see how the captain had learned the Breath of the Sun, but before he could activate it, he felt a spatial force enveloping him.

It wasn't an attack, but a defense, and Sherlock was quite familiar with how this spatial power worked. It was none other than the teacher Wu, a sorcerer with no bottom line, who was attached to him.

It is clear that teachers do not want to activate their abilities.

Sherlock didn't resist. He quietly watched the captain and Tanjiro spar for a while before the unusual drinking session came to an end. However, the captain didn't take on the task of taking Sherlock back to his room. Instead, the teacher, Satoru, took over the job.

After escorting Sherlock back to his room, Teacher Satoru fully displayed his goofy personality and told Sherlock a piece of information that, while not exactly big news, movies that haven't been released outside can be watched in advance inside the tower.

He repeatedly urged Sherlock to watch the movie Captain America wrote called 'Shameless,' looking like he was eager to see more drama and was afraid Sherlock wouldn't teach Captain America a lesson.

Sherlock naturally didn't refuse, but he narrowed his eyes and casually shooed the teacher out.

Of course, after driving the people away, Sherlock wouldn't let go of the movie written by the captain. Since there were so many things that were wrong, and Teacher Wu even brought up the movie, Sherlock didn't believe that the movie based on him wouldn't reveal anything.

Lying in bed, Sherlock used the tablet he was given to play the movie written by the captain.

Well, after watching it, Sherlock's blood pressure went up. Damn, Captain America really doesn't let me off the hook at all, daring to put all sorts of embarrassing past events on the screen.

Fortunately, despite the elevated blood pressure, it's absolutely impossible for Sherlock not to discover any information in this movie.

The entire movie is adapted from the original story of the Avengers getting drunk, and it almost perfectly recreates the Avengers' hangover.
