The Original Avengers Assemble

The Avengers were training Hulk in the desert, and the bored group actually got closer to each other for the first time through Captain America's story.

"You humans are too fragile. But you're over sixty years too late. My father once spent a full hundred years on a single campaign; I was only seven years old then..."

Thor relapsed into his old habit, about to launch into a long tale about Asgard, when Xia Yu drew his Heaven Reliant Sword and watched Thor trim his nails. Thor wisely shut his mouth.

"I'm hungry." Thor looked at his older brother with a wronged expression.

By this time, the Sun was gradually setting, and the temperature in the desert was gradually decreasing.

So Xia Yu decided to eat out again. Xia Yu's ring never disappointed. A long table, various fruits and drinks, cakes and desserts, steak, lamb chops and pork knuckles.

Xia Yu filled a long table to the brim, making it look like a buffet in a high-end hotel.

Time was stopped inside Xia Yu's Space Ring. He had stockpiled a large amount of food and drinks on Earth and in Asgard, some of which were freshly cooked, such as Asgard roasted lamb chops.

Because it was still hot, the aroma was irresistible. The group had just started eating when suddenly a thunderous gurgling sound rang out.

Everyone stopped eating and looked towards the source of the sound: Hulk.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Hulk tried to push the hammer away again with both hands, but it still wouldn't budge.

"Hulk is hungry." There was even a hint of shyness in his voice.

Finally, he spoke. To be honest Xia Yu had already made preparations to camp here.

Xia Yu took a large roasted lamb chop, walked up to Hulk, and handed it to Hulk from a distance, saying, "Here you go."

Hulk didn't stand on ceremony, took the bite and stuffed it into his mouth, even chewing the bone to pieces, and swallowed it in no time.

A piece of food barely enough to Hulk's teeth made his stomach rumble even louder.

"Hulk isn't full." Hulk strained to look up at the table.

Xia Yu smiled, "It's easy to handle once you've said your piece."

"I can remove the hammer and let you get up, but on one condition: you can't fight us. You can eat whatever you want, though I have more. But you can't lay a hand on any of us. We just want to be friends with you."

"Eat your fill first."

Who said Hulk was simple-minded? He didn't even answer your question directly.

"No, you have to agree first, or I won't give you anything to eat." Xia Yu refused.

"Hulk promises you, you're not allowed to pin me down with that Hulk anymore, not ever again." Hulk began to negotiate.

"Okay, I promise you." Xia Yu winked at the others.

Thor and the Captain stood in front of the crowd.

Xia Yu nodded and reached out to recall the hammer.

Hulk suddenly jumped up, startling everyone.

Hulk ran to the table in two strides, grabbed a lamb chop in each hand, and stuffed it into his mouth. Only then did everyone slowly lower their guard.

Apart from the thick-skinned Xia Yu and Thor, everyone else was on high alert, cautiously getting food from the other side of the table. Even the Captain was holding food in one hand and his shield in the other.

A gluttonous person showed up, so Xia Yu had to bring out a lot more roasted meat and a large barrel of beer. Xia Yu had collected quite a few of these things in Asgard.

Hulk devoured the food on the table in a whirlwind, leaving it spotless.

"You, Hulk's friend." Hulk plopped down on the sofa and pointed at Xia Yu.

"Since we're friends, let's talk. We're here to invite you to join our Avengers. We'll provide you with everything, and we need you to fight alongside us." Xia Yu tried to be as straightforward as possible.

"Hulk loves to fight, so don't you dare use that hammer on me again." Hulk was clearly traumatized by the Mjolnir.

Xia Yu laughed. "Don't worry, I definitely won't use a hammer to crush you again, but we have one condition: when we're not fighting, you need to transform back into Dr. Banner."

"No Banner, I want Hulk! No Banner!" Hulk roared, slamming his hands on the ground.

Xia Yu quickly reached out and pressed down on the air, "Calm down, calm down, Hulk. Listen to me, you're too strong. You might accidentally break things or hurt someone. It's easier to live as Banner when you're normal. Hulk can just focus on fighting, isn't that better?"

"No Banner! I said no Banner! Roar!~!~!" Hulk roared.

"But Hulk often smashes things and scares people." Xia Yu used the patience he had for dealing with unruly children from his previous life.

"Hulk didn't do it on purpose. Hulk is always very angry and furious."

"We can help you control your anger, vent your anger, Hulk, we can help you," Captain interrupted.

Tony chimed in, "But we have to take it slow. It's fine here, this is the desert, buddy, you can fight however you want. But you have to come back to New York with us, it's all skyscrapers and people there."

A group of people started coaxing the child, and after a lot of effort, they finally convinced Hulk to turn back into Banner and go back to New York with them. Then, every now and then, they would let Hulk out for some fresh air.

Just in case, Xia Yu still needed to try out the acupoint striking technique. After communicating with Hulk for a long time, they finally agreed to let Xia Yu punch him to test it out.

Hulk sat on the ground, Xia Yu aimed for the Anmian point acupoint behind his earlobe.

He gathered his Internal Energy and threw a punch, using little physical power but focusing his Internal Energy on the acupoints.

The punch landed precisely.

'Bang!' Hulk raised his hand and punched Thor, who was standing to his side, sending him flying.

"I'll let you use the hammer to pin Hulk down." After saying that, Hulk slowly fell to the ground and fell asleep, his body gradually shrinking as he fell, turning into Bruce Banner.

"This is amazing! It looks like a giant, color-changing sponge," Tony exclaimed in amazement.

Thor flew back too. "What is a sponge?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Thor's crotch.
