Could You Spare Some Heart-Shaped Herb?

"Mr. Xia, you just said you had other things to discuss with us. Why don't we talk about those first, and we can discuss the Vibranium issue later?"

T'Chaka wisely chose to avoid the topic for now, fearing that Xia Yu would drive him crazy.

The rest of the conversation went quite smoothly.

Xia Yu's main goal is to share certain technologies with Wakanda.

The Avengers features a plethora of advanced and alien technologies, while Wakanda, with its abundant Vibranium, also possesses a remarkable technological civilization. Both sides could learn from each other.

Xia Yu's main interest is Shuri, T'Challa's sister, who is definitely an all-around genius who is no less than Tony. Who knows what kind of sparks might fly between the two of them.

The Avengers' fighting strength will depend on them from now on. At least they won't be like in the Battle of New York, where they were exhausted and in constant danger of losing their lives fighting a bunch of Chitauri soldiers.

Tony is already constructing Avengers Nano Armor for each Hero, but if you add Vibranium and Shuri, the final result will definitely be more than just 1+1.

Therefore, Xia Yu readily invited Wakanda to send scientists to join the spaceship design and research, a point that T'Chaka readily agreed to.

Then Xia Yu requested that T'Challa join the Avengers. This request surprised the old king, but in Xia Yu's words, Wakanda could not remain independent of the world forever.

Why not let T'Challa join the Avengers as Black Panther first, so he can get some exposure to the outside world? Regarding this, the old king said he needed time to consider it. Xia Yu saw the longing in T'Challa's eyes and smiled, saying that he was welcome to join anytime.

Then there's the research on the new alloy, which is actually related to the spaceship design. However, because the Avengers have Asgard's special metal, Xia Yu expressed his willingness to provide some of that metal to Wakanda to make a new Black Panther Suit after the new alloy is developed.

"After all, pure Vibranium would be destroyed by high-frequency sound waves, but alloys shouldn't be." Xia Yu pointed out the fatal flaw of the Vibranium Armor without hesitation, leaving T'Chaka with no choice but to accept Xia Yu's good intentions.

Next, Xia Yu dropped another bombshell.

A simplified version of the Yijin Jing /Tendon Changing Classic) from a system-generated edition.

It is a training method that allows the human body to break through its own limits, and after breaking through, it can better absorb the Heart-Shaped Herb, making its combat power even stronger.

Xia Yu wasn't just making this up; after absorbing the Heart-Shaped Herb, everyone's combat power will definitely be different, and physical strength determines your upper limit.

Although Xia Yu didn't know the upper limit of combat power that the Heart- Heart-Shaped Herb could provide, Xia Yu believed that ordinary people simply couldn't unleash its full potential.

Examples around Xia Yu show that the Captain's current strength is at least 50% greater than in the movie, and even ordinary humans like Natasha Hawkeye are stronger.

While his physical strength still couldn't compare to Bucky or Spider-Man, he had still pushed his limits.

Tony can now lift more than two tons with both hands, while Natasha and Hawkeye are even stronger.

Most importantly, this exercise can improve the human body, making it the most suitable option for the elderly T'Chaka.

"What do you want?" T'Chaka certainly didn't believe Xia Yu would give away such a good thing for nothing.

After all, Xia Yu acted like a vampire.

Heart-Shaped Herb!

Xia Yu's words were always shocking; one sentence nearly scared the Black Panther father and son to death.

The Heart-Shaped Herb is a power bestowed upon the people of Wakanda by the Bast. It is forbidden for anyone other than each generation of Black Panther to use it, as it is a very serious matter for Wakanda and involves their faith.

'Bang!'

This time, T'Chaka slammed his fist on the table.

Xia Yu remained unmoved; he hadn't expected to agree to this so readily in the first place.

"Absolutely not, not even if Wakanda is destroyed. Only Black Panther can use the Heart-Shaped Herb. This is a long-standing rule of Wakanda, and a revelation given to us by the Bast. It must not be changed."

The old king refused without hesitation.

"Although I don't believe in your goddess, I do believe that the Bast initially guided you to find the Heart-Shaped Herb and stipulated that only warriors who have obtained the title of Black Panther could use it, in order to ensure the strength of the chief and prevent the tribes from falling into war again, right?"

Xia Yu spoke eloquently.

How could T'Chaka, as a king, not understand this principle? However, as a stubborn old king, following the rules left by his ancestors was something that absolutely could not be changed; Wakanda had always lived that way.

So in the movie, Wakanda only opened up to the world after it came into T'Challa's hands, not only because of T'Challa's ideals, but also because the leaders of the various tribes were replaced by a new generation.

They use high-tech internet, they are very interested in the outside world, and many of them have even studied in other countries, so their thinking is definitely different.

But for T'Chaka's generation, some things cannot be changed.

So no matter what Xia Yu said, T'Chaka rejected Xia Yu outright.

This was within Xia Yu's expectations. He had originally planned to succeed on the first try, so Xia Yu wasn't in a hurry. If things didn't work out, he could just steal it himself; who could stop him?

Yijin Jing, Xia Yu still gave the Yi Jin Jing to Wakanda without making any other conditions. He believed that T'Chaka's personality meant he would never pass it on to anyone other than his own family.

"The Heart-Shaped Herb is a request I made, and you certainly have the right to refuse. This exercise method isn't a bargaining chip; it's just a gesture of our sincerity, so you must accept it."

Xia Yu avoided the topic of the Heart-Shaped Herb. He was genuinely afraid that T'Chaka would make a move immediately. Should they fight or not?

T'Chaka gave Xia Yu a deep look, secretly thinking that he must cover the area around the Heart-Shaped Herb with cameras.

But in the end, he still accepted Xia Yu's Yijin Jing.

Ultimately, it came down to the issue of Vibranium. After discussing many other things, T'Chaka realized what was going on and offered a solution.

Since Wakanda will be sending people to conduct the research anyway, we'll bring 500kg of Vibranium first, and replenish it as the research progresses.

"There isn't even a ton in the warehouse right now. I'll arrange for them to mine. It won't delay the spaceship's progress," T'Chaka said.

This is blatant lying; of course he knows Xia Yu knows it too.

But we're just telling you outright that our people will join you on your spaceship, and we'll give you as many as you need. Don't even think about secretly keeping any for yourself.

On this point, it was absolutely the worst decision T'Chaka ever made.

After he finished speaking, Xia Yu gave Tony a look.

Tony returned a knowing look.

Because of that sentence, Tony more than doubled the size of the spaceship he originally envisioned. Four tons? Haha!?
