Marvel Gashapon Maniac

Chapter 17 Biological Remains

"The first installment in the Devil May Cry series, Devil May Cry 3, has been officially released."

Fu You himself put up a banner at St. Freya Academy to promote his game.

There's no other way; Stark Industries isn't very well-known in this world, so Fu You has no choice but to honestly return to selling games at a stall.

However, Fu You also found it quite novel.

Previously, we would sit in the office and do live broadcasts to promote the products, and every time a product was released, we would immediately clear out the stock.

It's not bad to sit at a street stall and sell things slowly.

Sigh, the lives of the rich are so boring.

"Why did you choose this time to come here to sell things?" Thor, who had been pulled in to sell goods with him, looked puzzled, like a salted fish stall owner.

"The Valkyries will be out of class soon, and this is the only way back to their dorms."

"Am I not very good at business?" Fu You boasted proudly.

“Yes, yes.” Thorye didn’t understand what business acumen was, so he just nodded in agreement.

"By the way, where is Luo Ji?" Fu You suddenly asked.

“Loki said she forgot something at the palace and needs to go back.”

Fu You sensed something was wrong; it seemed that Luo Ji had indeed noticed something.

Fu You, carrying Thor on his back, connected to Tan Lesheng's communication.

"Hey? Tan Lesheng, keep an eye on Luo Ji for me. It seems she's discovered my identity."

"So what if they found out? It's not a big deal, is it?" Tan Lesheng asked, puzzled.

"This is a big problem, it concerns my dignity as a man, go now!"

Fu You was still a little worried even after urging Tan Lesheng to get to work.

If that brat Loki found out this secret, she'd keep threatening her.

Just as Fu You was pondering, the bell rang, and a group of Valkyries ran out of the teaching building as class ended.

It seems that no matter what world it is, leaving school is an exciting thing for students.

Kiana and the others rushed out first, with Kiana, who was leading the way, immediately spotting Fu You's stall.

"Hey, Fuyou, the game's been released!" Kiana greeted.

As a beta tester, she was really looking forward to the game, since fighting demons and Honkai Beasts felt quite similar in terms of physics.

"Yes, would you like one?"

"Okay."

Kiana took the game; the cover featured a silver-haired, energetic young man surrounded by various fallen demons.

The title on the cover is "Devil May Cry 3".

"Why is it called Devil May Cry 3? What about 1 and 2?" Kiana asked curiously.

"I plan to air games 1 and 2 as story-based episodes, so the game count starts from 3."

The first and second Devil May Cry stories can be considered sequels, while the third story is the beginning.

Dante in Devil May Cry 3 is just a greenhorn who has just learned Devil Trigger, while Dante in Devil May Cry 2 is a hero who has conquered the demon world.

There are still many conflicting settings and unimpressive aspects of the system, so Fuyou plans to present Devil May Cry 1 and 2 in a story-driven format.

Kiana and the others' purchases aroused the curiosity of many Valkyries around them, who also came closer to see what was being sold.

It's said to be a DLC for a virtual training space, and many Valkyries who were interested bought one.

If there's one person, there are ten. Virtual games have piqued the curiosity of these girls who are still at the age where they love to play.

While Fu You was busy selling games, a figure came to her side.

"Miss Fu You, I have something I need to discuss with you."

Rita is a Valkyrie appointed by destiny.

After thinking for a moment, Fu You instructed Thor to help sell the goods and then left with Rita.

……

“Bishop Otto requests your presence at the Destiny Headquarters, Miss Fu You,” Rita explained.

"Huh? Otto? What does he want with me?" Fu You asked, somewhat surprised.

~

She and Otto usually communicate via phone, and this was the first time she had asked to meet in person.

Fu You suddenly fell into deep thought and had a bold idea.

They're not planning to arrest me...

Let's lock him in a dark room and make him play games.

"The Valkyrie team of Destiny was attacked by an unknown creature. There are no records of such a creature, so Bishop Otto thinks that you, from another world, might have some clues."

"Unknown creature?"

"Yes, a creature that has never been recorded before."

Fu You had considered that the appearance of the unknown creature in this plot segment might be related to the dissection of tissues.

Currently, only our own side and the organization have the ability to travel between different works.

I just don't know what the organization is planning.

“Alright, I’ll go with you to take a look,” Fu You nodded in agreement.

Fu You decided to go to the Destiny Headquarters with Rita.

Despite skipping the Destiny Database storyline and Kiana's rampage storyline, Fu You still followed the storyline to the Destiny Headquarters.

Fortunately, there's no need to fight this time.

……

Upon arriving at the headquarters of Destiny, Fu You, led by Rita, went to Destiny's laboratory.

Upon entering the laboratory, Fu You looked around and surprisingly discovered many familiar weapons, all of which were things he had seen in the game.

And there are many things I've never seen before.

In some areas, people are even getting tattoos of the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon... cough cough, no, I mean, holy marks.

As Fu You curiously touched and explored everything, the two arrived at the experimental table further inside.

When Otto saw Fu You arrive, he said, "Miss Fu You, I've wanted to see you for a long time."

“I’ve heard about Bishop Otto’s deeds before, and we don’t see each other often when we talk on the phone.”

"That's different. After all, face-to-face conversations feel completely different."

Fu You had a feeling that Otto was hiding something, but she didn't want to ask him now, so she decided to get to the point first.

"Let's get down to business first. What is this strange creature that Your Excellency is talking about?"

Otto stepped aside and pointed to the lab table behind him: "That's it."

Fu You had noticed the strange creature on the lab table before, but now he could see it clearly.

It was the remains of a living being, but it was described as a machine because the thing in front of me was more like a mechanical object than a living being.

The creature's main colors were red and gray.

The monster had an armor-like shell, its obvious metallic structure clearly indicating it was a mechanical creation. On its head was a horn-like structure, bright red in color.

“We initially thought it was a new mech created by Anti-Entropy, but after research, we discovered that it is actually a biological entity,” Otto explained.

"However, this creature does not show any Honkai energy reaction, which means it is not a mutated Honkai Beast."

"Not a Honkai Beast?" Fu Youye looked down and saw that it was indeed not in the design style of a Honkai Beast.

Fu You could see the names of items through the system, so he picked up a fragment to examine it.

A dialog box popped up in front of Fu You:

Code VII: The Wreck of the Tank

"War chariot? What's that? Is it Bobo Little Licks Shit?" Fu You was a little confused.

1. Bought a house, time to pay the mortgage, tough times are coming. I need to find time to save up some drafts, otherwise I won't have time to write whenever something comes up.

2. Congratulations to all the college entrance examination candidates on their liberation!

3. (Continued from image) The battle between the Demon Kings, *sizzle*

Chapter 18 The Obscure Truth

Fu You searched his memory but did not recall the so-called chariot.

Because Honkai Impact was still ongoing when Fu You traveled through time, she couldn't be sure whether this creature was native to the Honkai world.

But it must have been created by the organization, because this kind of creature doesn't exist in this storyline.

"Can the technology of Destiny analyze biological types?"

"Unfortunately, it's unlikely to happen in the short term."

"I see." Fu You nodded and explained, "I can see the names of these creatures; you can think of it as a kind of eye technique."

"This thing is called [Code VII: Chariot]."

"The Chariot...Tarot cards?"

Fu You nodded: "That should be true. Then other tarot cards should also have this creature. There should be more than one of these creatures."

Otto smiled with pleasure: "Interesting. I'll have someone keep an eye on it, and I'll let you know if there's any progress."

"Rita, take Miss Fu You to see the Destiny Headquarters."

“Yes, Your Excellency,” Rita replied with a slight bow.

Fu You also planned to visit the headquarters of Destiny, so he accepted the invitation.

Otto watched the two figures leave in silence.

After the two had left, Otto looked at the remains again.

"A tank?"

Recalling the Valkyrie's report on capturing the creature and the video recorded at the time, the creature suddenly appeared during their mission, emerging from a deep blue energy tunnel.

According to the researchers, it is a quantum tunnel.

“The world of quantum realm is not peaceful. Could it be…them?” Otto fell into deep thought.

Fu You, who had just left the laboratory, was about to visit the headquarters of Destiny when he suddenly felt a jolt in his waist.

The communication phone rang; it was the Avengers' dedicated line.

Fu You glanced at the caller ID; it was Tan Lesheng.

The call connected, and Tan Lesheng's voice came through the phone:

"I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear?"

Fu You raised an eyebrow: "Tell me the good news first."

"The good news is that the quantum algorithm for the Honkai world is complete, and we can now attempt to enter the quantum realm."

"What about the bad news?"

"The bad news is... Loki has already figured out your identity."
