Chapter 57

: We need to find a container.

"Consuming 60000 Special Popularity Points... [Superhero Blind Box] draw in progress..."

In the space of consciousness, the two familiar blind box orbs of light reappeared, spun, and then exploded.

The first blind box exploded.

A flash of silver-blue light appeared.

"Ding! Congratulations, host! You have obtained a special building/facility: Cyberdyne T-850 Terminator Fully Automated Production Line."

Item Description: This is a complete industrial production line that can continuously produce T-850 Infiltrator robots for you, provided that sufficient metal raw materials and energy supply are provided.

Performance Description: The T-850 Terminator features a super alloy endoskeleton, is resistant to plasma weapon attacks, is powered by a dual-hydrogen battery, has a service life of 120 years, and its outer skin is made of active human tissue, giving it extremely strong combat and infiltration capabilities.

Current production capacity: 10 units/day (limited by the grade of raw materials; if higher grade materials are used, the production capacity will decrease, but the individual combat power index will increase).

Attached technologies: Skynet basic fire control algorithm (stripped of self-awareness, absolutely loyal), and realistic skin cultivation technology.

Note: This facility must be deployed in a physical space, covering an area of ​​approximately 5000 square meters. Once deployed, it cannot be retrieved or moved.

Wu Yanzu's eyes lit up.

T-850! Arnold Schwarzenegger is eating a cigar!

Although in the Marvel Universe where gods and monsters fly everywhere, the T-850's individual combat power might only be enough for Hulk to dismantle and play with, or for Thor to use as a lightning rod.

But its core value lies in mass production, loyalty, tireless work, no salary, and working 24/7 for 120 years!

Moreover, it can be upgraded with vibranium or other high-strength metals.

"This is a good deal." Wu Yanzu was already planning where to put this thing.

Then, their gaze turned to the second ball of light.

"Ding! Congratulations, host! You have obtained a special item: Paramecia-type Devil Fruit."

Item Description: A specialty from the Grand Line. Consuming it grants a superpower that breaks the rules.

Side effect: Those who consume it will be rejected by the sea and become unable to swim for life. Seastone has a very strong restraining effect on this.

Note: The current world's seawater also contains a small amount of special keratinous particles that counteract Devil Fruit abilities.

The light dissipated.

Wu Yanzu now held a strange-looking fruit in his hand.

It resembles both a cantaloupe and a pineapple, but its skin is covered with strange spiral patterns, and its entire body has an unsettling purple hue.

"Devil Fruit..."

Wu Yanzu played with the fruit, which showed no appetite whatsoever, his brows furrowing slightly.

Although he can fly, the chances of him falling into the sea are slim. But in the Marvel universe with Namor and Atlantis, turning himself into a landlubber is clearly not a wise move.

And... this thing supposedly smells like poop.

He continued to ask the system which Paramecia-type Devil Fruit it was.

Upon hearing the system's reply, Azu threw it into the safe without hesitation and ignored it.

"Ashley!"

He pressed the call button on the table.

Less than ten seconds later, Ashley yawned and rushed in, her high heels clicking on the floor.

"Sir? Are you going back? I'll arrange a car for you."

"Don't rush off work, Ashley." Wu Yanzu stood up and walked to the French windows. "I need you to do something. Find a secluded place in upstate New York. Whether it's an abandoned bomb shelter or an old mine, I need to build an underground project there."

How big?

"Over 10,000 square meters. It must have an independent nuclear power supply system and the highest level of security measures. No one but me can enter the core area."

Ashley paused for a moment, but wisely didn't ask any further questions.

"Okay, sir. What's the project code?"

Wu Yanzu looked at the night outside the window, a flash of red light passing through his eyes.

"Code name... Skynet."

……

After explaining the "Skynet" operation, Wu Yanzu sat back down on the sofa.

Just then, Ashley, who had just left the office, came back with a tablet in her hand.

"Sir! You'd better take a look at this!"

"As per your request, our commercial satellites have finally detected an anomaly in London, in the Hillingdon district..."

Wu Yanzu took the tablet that Ashley handed him.

The image shows an abandoned factory area in London.

But the scene is very strange.

A cargo truck weighing several tons was floating in mid-air like a balloon.

Several children were playing there, throwing cement bricks into an invisible "hole," then watching the bricks disappear and fall out again from another place hundreds of meters away.

Space overlaps, gravity anomalies.

Wu Yanzu's pupils contracted slightly.

This is... a alignment of nine stars, a celestial convergence that occurs only once every five thousand years, linking nine great nations into a single line.

And... the Aether particles sealed in the abyss... also known as the Reality Stone.

That's the most bizarre Infinity Stone in the Marvel Universe. It turns lies into truth and matter into dark matter.

"Good stuff... The plot of Thor 2 has begun... Hehe." Wu Yanzu couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Although he is currently very powerful, he is still somewhat inadequate in front of a true cosmic-level powerhouse.

Even if it's just to prevent Thanos from snapping his fingers, we have to get our hands on this gem.

In the original storyline, Thor's girlfriend Jane Foster accidentally enters the folded space, is possessed by the Aether, and triggers a series of mishaps, ultimately awakening the dark elf Spicy Chicken who looks like a corrupted version of the Teletubbies.

But he was also well aware that the ether particle was a bit strange.

Like a parasite, it lives inside a host and drains its life force.

I really don't know how Jane Foster, that mortal, managed to survive. It must be the blessing of a true protagonist. No wonder she's the future female Thor.

Although he is physically fit, it is still unknown whether he can withstand the erosion of the Infinity Stones, and he cannot risk his life.

"We need to find a... container."

Wu Yanzu picked up the office phone and dialed the number.

"Beep...beep..."

"Feed? What? In the middle of the night..." Jessica Jones's slurred voice came from the other end of the phone, clearly still nasal from the alcohol. "If you're asking me to film some bullshit guy, I'll crawl up the phone line and beat you to death."

"Good evening, Your Majesty." Wu Yanzu's voice was full of magnetism. "Still drinking? That's not in line with the health regimen of a superhero."

"I'm off work, you bastard. It's 1 a.m.!"

Wu Yanzu laughed, "Stop drinking, let's get ready."

"What are you going to do?"

"Come with me to London first thing tomorrow morning."

"No way! What's the point of going there? What's there besides awful fish and chips and endless rain?" Jessica was clearly uninterested.

"A vacation." Wu Yanzu lied without batting an eye. "You've been under too much pressure lately. Ashley said you almost broke the makeup artist's wrist... We need to relax. By the way... there's a local charity gala there, and they specifically requested 'Queen Jones' to attend. The appearance fee... two million."

There was a three-second silence on the other end of the phone.

"...US dollars?"

"GBP."

"...What time do we depart?"

"Tomorrow morning at eight. Dress warmly, it's cold in London."
