Happy Member in Marvel
Chapter 323 Xinyue Metal
Chapter 323 Joyful Metal (Two in One)
One billion is not a lot of money to the current Xu Fan.
Today, he has the No Class Gang, the Superhero Association, and even a country like Wakanda under his name, and his monthly income is quite astonishing.
The reason why he persisted was not just a matter of money, but more of an attitude.
If you don’t ask for anything in return, and you do what others tell you to do, then today you may be Strange, tomorrow you will be Banner, the day after tomorrow you will be S.H.I.E.L.D., and the day after tomorrow you will become the Security Council.
Therefore, this is Xu Fan's principle and his bottom line. No matter who the other party is, he will be treated equally. Do you want to ask yourself for help?OK, then take the money out.
Of course, Xu Fan is not the kind of person who speaks like a lion, all he wants is an attitude, like Strange, since he quit his job as a doctor, he has no salary.
All the income of the Holy of Holies basically depends on the tuition fees paid by those rich second-generation mages, which is also mentioned in the comics.
Except for Strange and Wang, there are more mages who want to learn magic, yes, but they have to pay.
But most of the 'tuition fees' collected are used to take care of the Holy of Holies, as well as the maintenance of the instruments.
Especially in "Reunion 3", when Strange and Wang wanted to solve their food and clothing, they found that they only had a piece of five-meter gold on them, which can be said to be very miserable.
Based on such and such a relationship, Xu Fan didn't directly ask Strange for tens of billions like he did with Tony or S.H.I.E.L.D.
In addition, part of the relationship is because of Xu Fan's golden finger. He has only unlocked Xinyue 4 now, and Xinyue 5 needs more than 8000 billion.
The existence of Xinyue Mall also destined Xu Fan, who doesn't like money, to have to deal with money.
And without Modu, the remaining mages would be a mess.
In addition to the mage team of the Holy of Holies, the superheroes of the Superhero Association also attacked quickly.
When Xu Fan and others returned to the Holy of Holies, Modu's group had already been suppressed.
But what surprised Xu Fan was that Xiaoyu also participated in this operation and stole the limelight.
Xiaoyu used the shadow kingdom to evade black magic again and again, and defeated the mage with smooth body skills.
It has to be said that Xiaoyu today is completely different from that little girl before.
"Maybe it's time to make a glove for her." Xu Fan thought, and then handed over the aftermath to Strange.
And Tony also took advantage of the media, advocating the Super Heroes Association. Thanks to their efforts, New York is also a day of peace today.
Besides, the stock of the Superhero Association has always been a popular stock. Due to the interests, coupled with Tony's push, the Superhero Registration Act is actually the existence of no one cares about it.
Tony knows very well that the greatest credit should actually go to Xu Fan, even though he has done a lot, but without his ideas and determination.
I'm afraid I might be in a civil war with Rogers now.
When the Modu incident subsided, Xu Fan also returned to the Avengers base, but because of the damage he caused, Tony had to change a room for him and sent the Iron Legion to take care of the repairs.
At the same time, the level of Luke and Ai Cui was even better than Xu Fan imagined. After a few days, they sent a message to Xu Fan, telling him that the alloy problem had been solved, and hoped that he would have time to do so. come over here.
In any case, the research and development of new metals is to help Xu Fan make weapons. How can he be a key person if he is not present?
dong dong.
Just when Xu Fan was about to go out, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
Accompanied by Xu Fan's polite voice, Tony Stark opened the door and walked in.
"Tony? What's the matter?"
"Honestly, I don't know what to say."
"Ok?"
"I'm going to propose to Pepper, you know... her belly." Tony gestured at the process of his belly bulge as he spoke.
In fact, Tony thought about this matter for a long time, especially after experiencing the Mordo incident, Pepper protested her heroic career again. She felt that Tony could even pass on the code name of Iron Man to others.
"Isn't this good." Xu Fan nodded. When he was watching a movie, he liked the couple Tony and Pepper very much.
"But apart from the proposal, I plan to give Pepper a special wedding."
Xu Fan responded, expressing his understanding, after all... For ordinary people, there is only one wedding, and it is only natural to treat it well.
"So... can Euphemia be the witness for this wedding?"
Tony took a deep breath and expressed his thoughts, and he immediately felt much more comfortable.
Xu Fan was stunned for a moment.
Although Euphemia was just one of his identities, Tony didn't know it.
To others, Euphemia is the noble, elegant Seraph.
She actually wanted a blazing angel to be her witness...
But if you think about it carefully, this is quite in line with Tony Stark's style.
"You scared me, Tony." Xu Fan couldn't help complaining, "You know Euphemia is a..."
Tony interrupted Xu Fan directly, and he nodded vigorously, indicating that no one knew this better than himself.
"However, isn't it precisely because of this that the wedding is so different? Besides, doesn't Euphemia want to understand all human behaviors that focus on money?"
Tony paused, "And you know, I'm not someone who doesn't even have the courage to try, otherwise, I wouldn't be Iron Man."
"It's kind of hard, Tony..."
"Well, tell me, how much is there hope? To be honest, I really hope that Euphemia can be my witness." Tony said sincerely.
Not only Tony himself, but even Pepper is a follower of Euphemia.
Even Pepper compiled a doctrine for Euphemia, but because of various things that happened later, this matter became delayed again and again.
So Tony felt that Pepper would be so happy if he could invite Euphemia.
"I'll do my best." Xu Fan didn't give Tony an affirmative answer.
"I understand." Tony nodded, saying that Xu Fan didn't need to feel pressured, and it didn't matter if Euphemia wasn't invited in the end.
He knew in his heart that it was a seraphim, and it was a fantasy to ask her to be the witness of the wedding.
But for Pepper, Tony is willing to challenge this fantasy, even if he fails, it doesn't matter.
In this way, after talking with Xu Fan about the details of the wedding, Tony turned around and left here.
"call……"
Xu Fan took a deep breath, "As expected of Tony, his wedding cost at least hundreds of millions. It's really scary."
Ok……
If one day I get married, do you want to have a tens of billions of weddings?
"Speaking of which, there are really angels in the Marvel world, why don't you go back and ask Johnny, if all the angels sing hymns, it should be very interesting."
Xu Fan couldn't help but murmured, although he is not a believer in the Guangming God, but as long as it is interesting.
Of course, the wedding is still very early for Xu Fan now, and he doesn't even have a girlfriend now.
"Forget it, I don't want to."
Xu Fan took a deep breath and put this matter behind him. Anyway, Tony hadn't proposed to Pepper yet, and it would be too late to give him an answer when he came back from Wakanda.
However, before preparing to leave for Wakanda, Xu Fan suddenly had a new idea.
He hurried downstairs and found Xiaoyu.
The result was exactly as Xu Fan thought. At this time, Xu Fan was about to run a ten-kilometer run.
"Xu Fan?" Xiaoyu saw Xu Fan walking towards her, and she also took off the Bluetooth headset, "What's the matter?"
"Come with me to Wakanda." Xu Fan said without thinking.
"Wakanda?" Xiaoyu tilted her head, not knowing what she was going to do in Wakanda.
But Xu Fan didn't answer directly, but called the mage to help him open the portal.
Xiaoyu came to Wakanda with Xu Fan with doubts.
Because it was Luke who took the initiative to inform Xu Fan this time, hoping that he could come over, so he prepared someone to welcome Xu Fan in advance.
"Isn't Nightingale here?" Xu Fan followed the royal guards to Luke's studio, but he didn't see Nightingale all the way.
Every time she came by herself, she always ran over to hug herself for the first time.
"I encountered a little trouble, I let her deal with it, but don't worry, let's take a look at this." Luke explained the reason why Nightingale was not there, and at the same time drew the attention of Xu Fan and Xiaoyu to the workbench, and after a while After the operation, a piece of metal was slowly pushed onto the table.
"This is the result of our hard work. It not only has the hardness of Adman metal, but also has the characteristics of vibrating gold absorbing kinetic energy, and Uru metal being endowed with spells." Ai Cui interrupted the conversation at this time, "I dare say, it It is the strongest metal in the universe."
Ai Cui even felt that the artifact made of this metal alone was far more powerful than Thanos' Infinity Gauntlet.
Not to mention joining the branches of the world tree.
"However, this brand new metal has no name." Ai Cui added.
Although this thing was made by himself and Luke, it was an idea provided by Xu Fan, so Ai Cui felt that the work of naming should be handed over to Xu Fan.
"Then is this metal stronger than Rogers' shield?" Xiaoyu couldn't help asking. As a fan of Team Mi, she can be said to be a walking Rogers encyclopedia, and she knows the shield Rogers used like the back of her hand.
Now hearing the metal properties described by Ai Cui and Luke, she immediately thought of Rogers' shield.
Luke and Ai Cui looked at each other, they had never heard of Rogers.
But one thing is beyond doubt.
"This thing can easily shatter Rogers' shield." Xu Fan said without thinking, then picked up the metal model that had been made, and stroked it gently with his fingertips. Xu Fan could feel the difference of this piece of metal.
"Very good." Xu Fan nodded and praised Luke and Ai Cui.
"As for the name..." Xu Fan frowned, thinking of the name was the most troublesome thing for him.
"Just call it Xinyue Metal."
Xu Fan thought for a long time but couldn't think of a suitable name, so he simply used the name of Xinyue Mall.
Luke and Ai Cui exchanged glances with each other, and then nodded, thinking that this name is quite good.
Once the name was settled, all that was left was production.
Before Xu Fan came, Ai Cui prepared a lot of weapon designs for Xu Fan to choose.
But who knew, Xu Fan shook his head directly, "My weapon is not in a hurry."
"Ai Cui, can you make the gloves you made for Thanos again?" Xu Fan asked.
"The Infinity Gauntlet?" Ai Cui's heart was filled with hatred for Thanos as soon as he recalled that artifact.
"Of course, but the main function of the Infinity Gauntlet is to carry the power of the Infinity Gem. Without the Infinity Gem, its power is actually not as powerful as the Storm Axe." Ai Cui explained.
"It's not an infinite gem." In order to let Ai Cui better understand his thoughts, Xu Fan directly took out the Rabbit Charm and asked Ai Cui to study.
Ai Cui also felt strange when he saw the spell. He thought it was just an ordinary stone with animals printed on it, but soon he found out that he was wrong.
And it's so wrong.
How could the things Xu Fan took out be ordinary things?
"It's amazing, it's the first time I've seen such a treasure." Ai Cui held the amulet in his hand, even though he didn't activate the super acceleration of the rabbit amulet, he could feel the infinite divine power contained in it.
"There are five charms like this one. Is there any problem with inlaying them on the glove?" Xu Fan asked again.
In fact, there were twelve spells in total, but Xu Fan didn't plan to exchange that many.
"No problem." Ai Cui returned the talisman to Xu Fan. This one alone was enough to surprise him, but he never expected that there were five such things.
In fact, even Luke suddenly became interested, took the spell from Xu Fan, and then studied it.
"It's amazing, Xu Fan, how did you get this thing?" Luke asked curiously.
"Secret." Xu Fan said with a smile, and then looked at Ai Cui, "Besides, I hope you can add something to the glove, such as genetic code."
Xu Fan felt that what he said was a little ambiguous, so he simply pointed at Xiaoyu, "Add her genes to the glove, and no one but her can activate the power of the spell when wearing the glove."
And when Xu Fan said this, Xiaoyu was taken aback.
She thought that Xu Fan was building an artifact for himself, but unexpectedly, he was doing it for herself.
even……
At this moment, Xiaoyu seemed to understand why Xu Fan insisted on bringing him to Wakanda.
Ai Cui took a meaningful look at Xiaoyu. The power of just one charm is amazing enough, let alone a glove that can carry six charms. Xu Fan actually gave Xiaoyu such an artifact.
From the looks of it, this girl should be very important to Xu Fan.
"No problem." Ai Cui replied, saying that as long as Xu Fan needs it, he can make any kind of thing.
"Luke, start the furnace of Silent City." Then, Ai Cui turned to Luke and said.
"Yeah." Luke pushed the tactical eyepiece, his eyes suddenly became wild, "I can't wait."
