Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life...

Of course, Mindy's high attack and high defense berserker attributes were a complete surprise.

Watching the two girls frantically pushing their way upstairs, a daring plan emerged in Sherlock's mind. Little did he know that the director, who dared to scheme against even Sherlock, would be surprised to see two girls suffering from severe firepower deficiency phobia.

What would it be like to think about girls whose ideas are incredibly strange, and who can only be considered 'Chichimora' when they combine?

Chapter 130 sequel

Annoyed by Sherlock's laughter, Zhao Weike could only glare at Sherlock before turning around and leaving the so-called entertainment center.

Anna and Mindy's tactics are so overpowered that there's practically no chance they won't complete the mission.

If this strategy has any flaws, it's probably that the two mission objectives were also terrified by the two of them.

Besides that, the biggest problem is that no cleaner can take on this job and just clean up the site. No amount of gold coins will make it possible!

This was naturally no challenge for the two clever girls. After planting the bomb, Anna casually threw a few thermite bombs into the amusement park.

Amidst raging fires and explosions, the gang that dared to kidnap the daughter of a tycoon vanished overnight, leaving behind hardly any remains.

Even from the official perspective, it ultimately amounted to nothing more than a gas explosion, or simply a brief mention of a gang fight before being hastily concluded.

As for how many people died, whether they were killed or died for some random reason, it didn't matter to the authorities.

Even the public, let alone the authorities, wouldn't care; they might even applaud it.

After all, no normal person would like a criminal who breaks the law, right?

As for whether this eliminated gang will be followed by a behemoth like the Rom Gang to retaliate against Anna and Mindy?

Unfortunately, this is highly unlikely to happen.

After all, if such a gang really had powerful backers, it wouldn't appear on the mission list of the mainland hotel. Or to put it more bluntly, any gang that knows the rules wouldn't easily provoke someone with a lot of cash.

Once Anna and Mindy successfully delivered the tycoon's daughter, their target, to the Continental Hotel in Er Mao, their debut mission was considered complete.

However, it was quite obvious that while the mainland hotel was very satisfied with the two men's performance in completing the task, Zhao Weike was not!

After the two returned to their hotel after completing their mission, Zhao Weike immediately appeared, grabbed them, and dragged them into his room, giving them a good scolding.

Just when the two were feeling extremely down, Sherlock stepped forward and cheerfully said that he had prepared a small gift for them, which he would give to them when they returned to New York.

This once again lifted the two girls' previously low spirits.

This left Zhao Weike quite helpless, and he could only lead the two girls into the room to summarize and review the mission.

It's worth mentioning that although Zhao Weike didn't like the two players' aggressive style of play, he had to admit that it was quite efficient.

In this respect, Zhao Weike was still fair and just, but he still didn't forget to give the warnings he was supposed to.

Hotels in mainland China have their own rules, and one of the ironclad rules is to minimize the possibility of exposure.

This requires assassins to keep a low profile when carrying out missions. Only novices would be as high-profile as the two of them. After all, if you are too high-profile, or even attract the attention of the authorities, then you will be in trouble unless you can escape their pursuit.

Otherwise, mainland hotels will absolutely not acknowledge your existence. This involves the official image, a shackle that a mainland hotel killer cannot escape.

And the two of them did indeed break these taboos during this mission.

However, since they were both beginners, neither the Mainland Hotel nor Zhao Weike said much. But Zhao Weike's plan to test their fighting skills was now off the table.

Therefore, Zhao Weike had to take the two of them to Japan and ask his friend to arrange a mission for them to test their combat skills.

As for Sherlock, he didn't go with them this time. Instead, he used the Anywhere Door at Er Mao's place to go home.

After greeting Helen, Sherlock locked himself in his studio and got to work.

Helen had no idea what Sherlock was busy with, nor why he was the only one to return first. Out of concern for Sherlock, Helen took the initiative to take on the responsibility of delivering food, while Doro became both the delivery person and Sherlock's handy companion to rub occasionally.

This continued for nearly half a month, during which time the online discussions about Sherlock were quietly replaced by new trending topics, and Zhao Weike returned with Anna and Mindy, looking weary from their journey.

Compared to when they left, Zhao Weike, Anna, and Mindy all had different injuries. However, compared to Zhao Weike, whose injuries were relatively minor, Mindy and Anna were undoubtedly more seriously injured.

Having already discovered the magical effects of Sherlock's bathroom in the past two weeks, Helen scolded Zhao Weike without saying a word, and then led the two girls into Sherlock's bathroom to take a bath.

Zhao Weike could only become a doorman for several women, living a miserable life.

Out of sheer boredom, Zhao Weike thought for a moment and then knocked on the door of Sherlock Studio.

Compared to Zhao Weike, who only suffered minor injuries, Sherlock looked extremely disheveled. His face was covered in black soot, and even his hair was slightly burnt and curly. The smell emanating from him was so strong that people wanted to stay away from him.

But Sherlock was incredibly excited, especially when he saw Zhao Weike; he became even more excited.

"Old Zhao! You're back! Where are Anna and Mindy? I have gifts for them!"

Faced with the excited Sherlock, Zhao Weike sensed something was wrong almost instantly. He had a strange, ominous feeling, but couldn't pinpoint the source. He could only hold his nose and say to Sherlock.

"Anna and Mindy are injured, and Helen took them to your magical bathroom. Sherlock, whatever you want to do, I suggest you take a bath in my bathroom first!"

Reminded by Zhao Weike, Sherlock realized his own shortcomings and forcibly gave Zhao Weike a hug, only to be met with Zhao Weike's disgusted look. Then, Sherlock excitedly ran towards Zhao Weike's bathroom.

Half an hour later, Sherlock, Anna, Mindy, and Zhao Weike gathered in Sherlock's living room.

When Sherlock presented his so-called 'gift,' Zhao Weike's ominous premonition finally came true.

Chapter 131 Zhao Weike Gives Up Treatment

Sherlock's 'gift' was, unsurprisingly, an alchemical item he had made himself. After Sherlock placed the prepared alchemical item on the coffee table and explained how to use it to Anna and Mindy, Zhao Weike felt a sudden darkness engulf him.

The first item Sherlock took out was actually a 'gift' he had long intended to give to Anna, but after witnessing Anna transform into the Jade-Faced Grenade King, Sherlock made some modifications to it.

The alchemical item given to Anna is called 'Ninja Toolkit'. It's a tool-type item with about five cubic meters of storage space.

Of course, the storage space of this thing is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that when this thing is fully charged, it can automatically generate three kinds of alchemical products every day: flash pills, smoke pills, and most importantly, explosive tags!

When fully charged, the total quantity of the three items is approximately 150. Once the power is depleted, this thing becomes nothing more than a storage pouch that hangs on your lower back.

Of course, if that were all, it wouldn't be enough to make Zhao Weike's vision go black. This thing has an incredible function: if the user is willing, when fully charged and in conjunction with the explosive gloves that control the explosive tags, it can activate an extremely powerful function in an instant while consuming all the power.

Multiply the explosive tags!

Indeed, Sherlock spent nearly half a month solving the problem of the continuity of the multiplicative detonating tags, and the result was naturally very gratifying.

Once the multiplicative detonator is activated, the number of detonators will self-replicate with each explosion, lasting for nearly five minutes, and cannot be stopped.

In other words, given enough time, the thing Sherlock provided could create a carpet-like effect of explosion.

And such an outrageous function is based on charging?

It was obvious that Anna's eyes lit up the moment she received Sherlock's gift.

Although Zhao Weike said that assassins shouldn't make too much noise, and Anna did indeed seriously learn many techniques from Zhao Weike, it has to be admitted that compared to Zhao Weike's technical approach, firepower coverage is damn easy.

After hearing about the function of the thing Sherlock gave him, Zhao Weike's vision went black. Ever since he discovered that Anna had been led by Mindy on a crazy road, heaven knows how much effort Zhao Weike had put in to barely correct Anna's course.

Now, Sherlock's gift has rendered all of Zhao Weike's efforts futile.

Sherlock's 'fatal blow' to Zhao Weike was far from over; the gift he gave to Mindy made Zhao Weike's vision go black again and again.

Compared to the complexity of Anna's gift, Sherlock's gift to Mindy was undoubtedly much simpler, consisting of nothing more than a transformation device called 'Weapon Master'.

That's right, it looks similar to Ultraman's Spark Lens, but the effects are quite different.

The normal Spark Lens is for transforming people into Ultraman, but the Spark Lens given by Sherlock is for transforming Mindy into a 'Berserker'.

Once activated, the petite Mindy will be forcibly fitted with a set of 'heavy armor' that can quickly self-repair. Its design is somewhat similar to the 'canned food' in the Warhammer world, except that it is not made of metal.

Of course, since the title is Weapon Master, the focus is naturally not on defense but on the weapons in hand.

After transforming, a belt will appear on the waist of the heavy armor, and the belt's design is somewhat similar to that of Armor Hero. Mindy can summon the belt to simulate three 'guns' by customizing the action.

These are submachine guns, rifles, and sniper rifles.

Although it sounded like a useless thing, Mindy's eyes lit up instantly after Sherlock briefly explained his concept of firearms to him.

Take sniper rifles as an example. Aren't sniper rifles simply those that can be scoped in, kill in one shot, and have a long range? Anything that meets these criteria is a sniper rifle, isn't it?

What? You mean submachine guns? The biggest feature of those is their high rate of fire, right? There are tons of those high-rate-of-fire weapons out there.

As Sherlock explained, Mindy became excited and even eager to try out the 'submachine gun' called '1130 Close-In Weapon' in the mission to see how it would perform.

Undoubtedly, both girls were very excited after receiving Sherlock's gift, while Zhao Weike alone looked deeply saddened and even began to worry about the future.

Zhao Weike found it hard to imagine what it would be like to have two assassins in a mainland hotel who would casually say, "You and the cover will fly together."

Seeing Zhao Weike sprawled on the sofa looking utterly hopeless, Sherlock grinned mischievously and gave the two girls a lecture on his concepts of 'infiltration' and 'protection'.

The so-called infiltration means that as long as no one discovers me, I have infiltrated. It doesn't matter whether I bypassed everyone or killed everyone. Just say whether I was discovered or not.

As for the so-called protection, that's even simpler. When faced with the threat of the enemy, I first make sure that the enemy's lair and the enemy themselves are destroyed, so that they won't pose a threat to my VIP. Wouldn't that count as a successful protection?

Sherlock grew increasingly excited as he spoke, and the two girls looked at him with a growing sense of excitement and wisdom, as if they were seeing a path in Chichimora completely different from any they had ever seen before slowly opening its doors to them.

Sherlock kept talking until his throat was dry, and only then did he send the two increasingly excited girls away. After they left, Sherlock pulled up Zhao Weike, who had given up on treatment and was sprawled on the sofa, and said to him in an annoyed tone.

"Why are you behaving like this? Didn't we already agree that I would arrange a way for them to escape the quagmire of mainland hotels?"

"Heh, you think you're just jumping out of the mud? You've fucking overturned the whole mud pit!"

Zhao Weike looked utterly hopeless, his lips twitching as he complained to Sherlock. Zhao Weike had now given up on the idea of ​​making the two of them follow in his footsteps.

Zhao Weike didn't show up at the hotel in mainland China because he was afraid that the two girls would really bear his name, so he didn't show up.

But now it seems that although Anna and Mindy did not live up to their own names, they did live up to Sherlock's names!

Seeing Zhao Weike's somewhat lifeless expression, Sherlock suddenly remembered something and asked Zhao Weike with some curiosity.

"By the way, did you ask them why they were able to come up with such an action plan from Er Mao? They even went so far as to seal off all the doors."

Hearing Sherlock's question, Zhao Weike rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. He didn't say a word, but simply sent Sherlock a link on his phone. After that, he went to Sherlock's bathroom to take a bath without saying a word.

Sherlock opened the link Zhao Weike sent him with a face full of question marks, and couldn't help but sigh after just one glance.

"Holy crap! The new brain really works better!"

On Sherlock's phone screen was a question-and-answer page from Zhihu (a Chinese Q&A website), with a large title clearly stating...

My boyfriend designed a game for me. My target has been kidnapped and is being held in an amusement park with about three or four hundred enemies. How can I rescue my target? (No restrictions whatsoever)

And below this question is a cunning answer from Jia Xu, who has 14 billion followers.

Chapter 132 An Unexpected Gift

Having discovered that Anna and Mindy were somehow involved with the rabbit's internet, Zhao Weike had essentially given up entirely.

After all, even a killing machine like Zhao Weike frowned and called the suggestions from netizens inhumane when he saw them. How could you expect to bring the two people who were enjoying themselves back?

It's absolutely impossible! Even Zhao Weike was completely baffled by some of the questions, exclaiming, "Can you even do it like that?" Over time, while teaching the two skills, Zhao Weike was also quietly nurturing them in the direction they preferred.

Furthermore, the focus is more on skills-based topics. As for tactics and strategies, well, all I can say is that netizens are incredibly talented; their words are not only pleasant to hear but also highly creative.

Sherlock stopped interfering in their affairs, since with the protection of Sherlock's alchemical artifacts, Anna and Mindy could practically walk around freely among the assassins at the Continental Hotel.

Nevertheless, Sherlock did not forget to give the girls the necessary advice, but he only warned them not to reveal that they possessed their own alchemical artifacts.

Possessing a powerful treasure is undoubtedly a terrifying thing under the current circumstances. Sherlock only wants to give the two girls some more trump cards, not to take their lives.

Although Anna and Mindy didn't know why Sherlock said that, they still listened to him and continued to learn diligently from Zhao Weike.

There was only one thing that completely led the two of them astray, and even Zhao Weike couldn't change their ways.

Indeed, Sherlock's outlandish theories about guarding and infiltration were ultimately carried out to the fullest by the two girls, making them famous at the Continental Hotel.

Of course, these are all things of the future, and Sherlock is unaware of them at this moment.

Having settled things with Zhao Weike, Sherlock's life returned to normal. He resumed his previous routine of sleeping in until he naturally woke up, then reading and drinking coffee, taking a bath in the afternoon, driving around, and shopping. He even had time to do some crafts or bake a cake with Doro.

They were living a very fulfilling life, and not only Sherlock's side, but Zhao Weike's side had also calmed down.

Nowadays, aside from setting aside some time each day to train the two girls, Zhao Weike spends most of his remaining time with Helen. The couple is gradually recreating the memories that Helen once said they should.

They would even occasionally invite Sherlock, Doro, Anna, and Mindy along, and the six of them would take a short trip from time to time. With the help of two modified 'motorhomes', nothing unpleasant would happen.

As for Anna and Mindy, the two are practically inseparable. Despite having no blood relation, their similar experiences have made them as close as sisters, and they even go to the mainland hotel to pick up missions together.

Of course, most of the sisters' tasks would be reviewed by Zhao Weike, and the intensity wasn't that high; they were just meant to give the two of them experience.

Gradually, the two even earned the nickname "Ghost Sisters," which circulated in small circles in hotels across the mainland.

Everything was so ordinary, so natural, so peaceful that Sherlock almost forgot he was living in the Marvel universe.

As the depths of winter approached and Christmas was just around the corner, the entire United States was immersed in the Christmas spirit. Sherlock was busy preparing his 'gifts' when an unexpected gift arrived first.

"Ding dong~"
