Lu Mingfei doesn't want to be a superhero

Chapter 97: Wizard Hulk, borrowing money online and not repaying it

Lu Mingfei originally thought that he would appear at Tony's house during this time travel.

After all, the mechanism of traversal is that he will appear near things or people who are closely related to him in this world. The closer the connection, the greater the probability of appearing. In this world, the person who has the deepest connection with him is Tony, the place where he appeared before It's also basically near Tony every time.

But unexpectedly, he appeared in Kamal Taj this time.

Standing in this antique building, Lu Mingfei knew why he was here in the next second.

The portal with the unique edge of the mage flying Mars opened in front of him, and the ancient mage and Dr. Banner walked out together.

He had studied in Karma Taj for a while before, and now two people who are related to him are in Karma Taj. The triple relationship is superimposed, so it is not surprising that he appears here.

"Master Gu Yi, Dr. Banner, good evening." Lu Mingfei waved to them.

"Evening?" Dr. Banner was taken aback, "I just had breakfast."

"It seems that it was night when you came here," Gu Yi smiled, "Come with me, Karma Taj is now having breakfast, although it's just a simple meal."

……

in the quiet room.

The three sat opposite each other.

Lu Mingfei burped.

Master Gu Yi said that simple food is really modest. During the time Lu Mingfei was studying here, he always felt that Karma Taj’s food was quite good. , the chef in charge of the canteen is very skilled, and even ordinary ingredients can be quite delicious.

And the food here is good, which can be seen from another aspect - I haven't seen him for a while, and Dr. Banner has gained a lot of weight.

"So during this time, Dr. Banner, you have been staying in Karma Taj for further study?" Lu Mingfei held his chin, "You are going to give up science and embrace magic."

"The generally accepted definition of modern science is 'an orderly knowledge system based on testable explanations and predictions about the form, organization, etc. of objective things. It is knowledge that has been systematized and formulated.' From this perspective, magic is nothing more than It's just a relatively niche branch of science." The person who said this was not Banner, but Master Gu Yi.

"When I was chatting with Sol, he seemed to have said similar things, saying that for Asgard, magic and technology are actually the same thing," Lu Mingfei said, "To be honest, I really want to bring Tony Come and learn magic, for someone as smart as him, he must be good at magic."

"Magic needs to borrow power from magical entities in other dimensions. Since it is borrowed, there is always a price to pay. Whether you are smart or not only determines the speed of learning magic, but whether you can balance the cost and restrain your desire for power is the only way to achieve it." It is the most important characteristic of a mage," Gu Yi paused, then smiled, "Of course, this statement is not absolute, and occasionally you can take advantage of some small loopholes."

"Small hole?" Lu Mingfei was curious.

"Ahem!" Dr. Banner coughed twice, folded his palms together, and then pulled them apart suddenly. A thin live wire was connected between his two palms.

With the rotation of Banner's palm, the line of fire split into more lines, first became a simple geometric plane, then became more complex, and finally turned into several layers of complicated magic circles in front of Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei's eyes widened: "Dr. Banner, have you learned magic?"

The magic circle seen by Banner's hands went out, and he said, "Actually... To be precise, Hulk and I learned magic together."

Lu Mingfei's eyes widened.

Hulk... learning magic? !
The image of a green giant wearing a mage's robe suddenly appeared in Lu Mingfei's mind, and Lu Mingfei shook his head to dispel this weird image.

Hulk learns magic?What kind of magic did he learn?Learn to take your staff and knock your enemies from one end of the Pacific Ocean to the other?

"Come on, let's use the spirit body to speak more intuitively." Banner closed his eyes.

Lu Mingfei also closed his eyes. After his spirit body emerged from his body, he found that Master Gu Yi's spirit body had also left his body, and next to him, Banner's spirit body was...separating in mid-air?

Falling into Lu Mingfei's field of vision, Banner's translucent spiritual body seemed to have two overlapping shadows, which felt a bit like people looking at things when they meet each other.

After a while, the two layers of shadows separated, and one of them swelled up in an instant, turning into a green giant.

"Hulk," Lu Mingfei greeted Hulk, "Long time no see."

"Hulk! Magic!" Hulk hammered his chest.

"Dr. Banner, have you been able to separate and talk to Hulk?" Lu Mingfei turned his head and asked Banner who kept his original shape.

"Well, under the guidance of Master Ancient One, I managed to separate from Hulk in terms of spirit, and I was able to have a conversation." Banner was a little distressed, "But Hulk is still not willing to listen to me."

"Banner! Listen to Hulk!" Hulk roared.

"Okay, okay, I listen to Hulk, Banner listens to Hulk..." Banner quickly comforted Hulk.

After a while of comforting, Hulk calmed down, and Banner turned his head and said: "That's it, now Hulk and I can talk directly in this way, and our magic, and the mages of Kama Taj Learning magic is actually different."

"Not the same?" Lu Mingfei was curious.

"The power of a mage is borrowed from powerful beings in other dimensions. Some of these beings are cosmic gods, some are powerful magical creatures, and some are energy life forms. Some of them were even mages once," Gu Yi explained. Corresponding energy sources are needed, just as different engines need different types of fuel."

"For example, most of the magicians of Kama Taj have contracts with Emperor Weishan. They can borrow power from Emperor Weishan to cast Emperor Weishan's spell. If they learn other spells, they are not able to use this spell. If you even sign a contract with the source, you won't be able to cast the spell even if you learn it. If you force the power of Emperor Weishan to cast other spells, the consequences will be unpredictable."

"Therefore, which magic entities to sign a contract with is also a question that mages should carefully consider," Gu Yi said leisurely. "There is a huge gap in the power of magic entities. Emperor Weishan is the leader among them, and in Weishan Under such a powerful existence as the Emperor, there are still many weak magical entities."

"Those weak magical entities will not choose a powerful mage when they sign a contract, because it is very difficult for them to charge the price across the distance between dimensions. If the mage's strength is too strong, they may resist paying the price," Gu Dao said, "The magic of Banner and Hulk comes from those weak magical entities."

Lu Mingfei froze for a moment, a bold guess appeared in his mind.

"When the contract was signed, Banner came forward. In the eyes of those powerful magical entities, he was just a low-level ordinary mage who had just started," said Gu Dao. "When the price needed to be paid, Hulk came forward."

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath.

Isn't this prostitution? !

Banner scratched his head: "I didn't think this was good at first, but the Ancient One said that signing a contract is mostly similar to making a deal with the devil in mythology. This kind of transaction does not require the spirit of fairness or contract. , but a clever method, deceiving the devil is what a mage should do, and Hulk and I are born with this advantage."

Lu Mingfei couldn't help looking at Gu Yi with strange eyes.

Master Gu Yi, why do you look so skilled? …

Although he was also very interested in magic, Lu Mingfei hesitated for a while and still didn't study it.

First, he is not like Hulk and Dr. Banner who can play tricks.

Secondly, he always feels that the things he borrowed are not practical to use. Anyway, he has no urgent need for strength. Wouldn't it be worthless to play yourself into it?
Besides, he was targeted by the devil the first time he came out of his body, which is enough to prove that his luck in this aspect is really not good, so it is better not to take risks.

Because he still needs to study for a while, Banner still has to stay in Karma Taj. Lu Mingfei has nothing to do here, so he asks Master Gu Yi to say goodbye. Master Gu Yi kindly helps Lu Mingfei open a teleportation The portal, but according to her, the portal can only be opened in a place familiar to the mage, so she only opened the portal in a small alley on the streets of New York.

Walking out of the alley, Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment - he saw a familiar figure on the street.

A teenager wearing glasses was running wildly, chasing after a school bus.

If Lu Mingfei's memory is correct, the boy who was chasing the school bus was Peter Parker, a friend he met in high school when he first came to Tony's World.

Lu Mingfei quickly chased after him. With his current physical fitness, even a trot was faster than most people running wildly. After a while, he caught up with Peter.

"Hey! Peter!" Lu Mingfei shouted at Peter.

"Ah!" Peter was startled, subconsciously stopped, turned his head, a little surprised, "Ming Fei? Why are you here?"

"I'm here for a walk," Lu Mingfei made up a random excuse, and then looked at Peter with a strange look, "Peter, your way of exercising is very unique."

"What exercise? Oh, no!" Peter slapped his head and turned to look over. The school bus he was chasing before had already driven away.

"I'm not exercising. I missed the school bus," Peter regretted. "Today the teacher took us to the Columbia University Academy of Sciences to see the genetic engineering of spiders. That bus took us to the Columbia University Academy of Sciences."

"Is that so? Uh... I'm sorry that I seemed to have caused you to miss the bus." Lu Mingfei was a little embarrassed and scratched his head, "How about I take you there? My house happens to be nearby. I will ask the driver to pick us up right away. .”

"Will this trouble you too much?" Peter was also a little embarrassed.

"It's nothing, I have nothing to do now anyway," Lu Mingfei said.

……

In front of the Columbia University Academy of Sciences, the students in Peter's class had gathered at the gate, and a certain Rolls-Royce stopped by the side of the road.

"Dad, can we find a corner to park?" In the Rolls Royce, Harry looked reluctant.

"Why?" Norman Osborne, who was sitting next to his son, pointed to the door with a puzzled look on his face. "The main entrance is right there."

"Dad, we're a public school, and I don't want to go to the class trip in a Rolls-Royce." Harry shook his head.

Norman froze for a moment, and did not refute his son, but stared out the window: "How about riding a Maybach Zeppelin?"

"We still have this car in our family?" Harry was a little surprised, "Didn't it mean that it is limited worldwide, only [-] units?"

Norman pointed out the car window: "The one percent is there."

Harry looked over, stunned.

Not only because of the car, but more importantly, the person who walked out of the car was actually his friend Peter!

Not only Harry, but other people at the entrance of the Academy of Sciences were also stunned.

Although they couldn't recognize the specific model of the car, the car was more than six meters long and was expensive at first glance.

If the person in the car was Harry, no one would be surprised, but the person who stepped out of the car was Peter Parker!

When Peter got out of the car, the eyes of the whole class were on him, which made him quite reserved.

Fortunately, someone shared these gazes for him in the next second.

"It's Mingfei Lu!" Someone exclaimed.

As the second largest shareholder of the Stark Group, Lu Mingfei is now a frequent visitor to various news, not to mention that Tony made a huge commotion in the school back then, leaving Lu Mingfei a legend, so he As soon as he stepped out of the car, he was recognized.

"Go Peter, I'm not going to join in the fun," Lu Mingfei said, "I'm not interested in spiders, and I've gone through the withdrawal procedure before, strictly speaking, I'm an irrelevant person now and can't go in."

Of course, in reality if he wanted to get in, all he had to do was ask Jarvis to call the president of Columbia University.

"Hey! Peter! You are...Mingfei, right?" Harry got out of the car and walked over, silently thanking Peter and Lu Mingfei for helping him attract the attention of others.

"Harry?" Lu Mingfei confirmed.

The time to study here is only two or three days, and Lu Mingfei only knows two friends, one is Peter at the same table, and the other is Peter's friend Harry.

"I'm so glad you still remember me." Harry seemed very happy, shaking hands with Lu Mingfei.

"Are you Mr. Lu Mingfei from the Stark Group?" A middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Harry walked over. Although he was dressed as a businessman, he had the elegance of a scholar.

"Hello, are you... Mr. Norman Osborne, the chairman of Austen Group?"

Lu Mingfei was trained by Tony before and watched various business scenes, so he knew a lot about many big businessmen. Although he had not met Norman Osborne, his Osborne Group was also quite large. Although the arms dealer cannot be compared with the Stark Group before the transformation, it is not inferior to Hammer Military Industries.

Of course, it was the Hammer military industry before the accident. Since the time when the war robot lost control, Justin Hammer was taken away for investigation, and Hammer military industry was greatly affected by this.

"Yes, it's an honor to meet you, Mr. Lu Mingfei." Norman shook hands with Lu Mingfei.

"Me too."

Peter and Harry left first because they were going to visit the Academy of Sciences. Lu Mingfei exchanged some pleasantries with Norman, exchanged contact information in a business-like manner, and then parted ways.

Lu Mingfei had already given Peter his current contact information in the car before. Unlike Norman, he gave Peter a relatively personal contact information.
