"Sir, if I want to buy these things, how do I need to pay? Gold? Dollars? Or something else?"
After experiencing a series of strong sensory and psychological shocks, Coulson quickly forced himself to regain his composure, and carefully asked about the specific transaction method.
Although he didn't think that a civilization like the other party, which was obviously from a higher level, would recognize the "lower" currency printed on the paper.
But if you ask, you won't get pregnant.
What if you agree?
But unfortunately, Allen immediately broke his beautiful fantasy.
"Sorry, those waste papers with colorful patterns are meaningless to us. All transactions in Wonderful House must follow one principle, that is, equal exchange. You must pay a price of equal value if you want to take away something of equal value. This price can be It can be rare metals, it can be technology, it can be Familiar magic items, it can even be souls. But only paper currency does not have any value, and even in your world, its purchasing power is still declining at an extremely fast rate."
"The U. S. dollar is... waste paper?!"
Coulson couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly when he heard these words.
Obviously, this was the first and probably the last time in his life that he heard someone describe the U. S. dollar in such a bad light.
But if you calm down and think about it, the other person seems to be right.
After all, a hundred years ago, one dollar could buy a pair of exquisite handmade leather shoes.
But now?
In a place like New York where prices are high, one dollar is not even enough to buy an omelette.
After thinking about this, Coulson immediately put on a helpless expression and said, "You may be disappointed. I don't think I can afford anything."
Allen smiled and stretched out a finger, gently waving it in front of the other party's eyes. "No, no, no, you underestimate yourself. In fact, every customer who can walk into Wonderful House has been carefully selected, and not just anyone can become the object of the transaction. Since Wonderful House has chosen you, it means that you will definitely carry certain values."
"Oh? Is there any value in me that I don't even know about?" Coulson blinked in confusion.
"Maybe not yet, but there will always be in the future. As the first customer after Wonderful House opens, I will give you a slight discount. Come on, please give me your wallet." Allen stretched out his right hand meaningfully.
"For the record, I only have $2,432 in my wallet."
As Coulson spoke, he took out his wallet without hesitation, took out all the documents such as driver's license and credit card, and finally handed over the wallet together.
In his opinion, no matter what he can exchange for the little money he has, he will definitely make a profit without losing anything.
Allen opened it, glanced at it, and threw it on the counter behind him. He took out a dozen bottles of the lowest-grade Basic Healing Potion from the shelf at the door, plus ten bottles of Basic Mana Potion, and gave them to the "good old" agent in front of him.
"Those red ones are healing potions, which can help injured people recover quickly, and the blue ones are mana potions, which can replenish the magic power of the user. I believe these things can allow you to go back and report to that stupid director. In addition, I am now going to cleanse the part about Sorcerer Supreme in your memory."
"Do you have to do this?" Coulson was holding a pile of red and blue vials, his face full of helplessness and bitterness.
"Well! Not only do you need to be cleaned, the director also needs to be cleaned."
After saying that, Allen's fingers began to shine with the light of magic.
The next second...
A white light flashed in front of Coulson's eyes, and then his eyes were glazed for about three to five seconds, and then returned to normal quickly.
He shook his head slightly first, and then asked in an uncertain tone, "What just happened? Why do I feel a little dizzy?"
"No, it's nothing. The deal is done. You can leave now."
Before the other party could react, Allen snapped his fingers with a smile.
Snap!
After a crisp sound, Coulson found that he had appeared on the street a hundred meters away from Wonderful House at some unknown time.
When the agents waiting around saw this scene, they immediately gathered around and asked all sorts of questions.
"Sir! Are you okay?"
"Sir! What's going on with these little bottles?"
"Sir! What did you see inside?"
"Sir! The director personally called just now and asked you to return to the headquarters immediately and report the situation directly to him after you come out."
Soon, under the escort of these agents, Coulson finally embarked on the journey back to the headquarters.
Not long after, he appeared in Director Egghead's office.
The moment two people and three eyes met together, a flash of white light was suddenly released from Coulson's left eye.
"Farke!"
Although Nick Fury had long expected a similar situation to occur, he immediately turned over and clutched under the table, trying to avoid it.
But unfortunately, his movements obviously cannot move faster than the speed of light.
As a result, he was only halfway through drilling when he realized that his mind was blank.
After about two or three seconds, he slowly recovered.
"Director?! Are you okay?"
Coulson also realized at this time that the situation was not good, and hurriedly rushed forward to help his director up from the ground.
Nick Fury hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. This shouldn't be anything lethal, but cleaning a certain fragment of our memory."
After saying this, he immediately turned on the surveillance in his office and began to quickly search for what important content he had forgotten during this period.
It didn't take long before the words Sorcerer Supreme and Kamar-Taj appeared in their memories again.
"Damn it! That guy is serious! He really erased both of our memories about this part." Director Egghead's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
Because since Allen can clean part of his memory so simply and easily, it can definitely control and even tamper with the brain's memory accurately.
In other words, with the current social structure of Earthlings, Allen is completely defenseless.
As long as the other party is willing, it can turn the powerful ruling groups of various countries into puppets under its control at any time.
It was such a horrific sight that Nick Fury shuddered just thinking about it.
"Who exactly is Sorcerer Supreme? What kind of organization is Kamar-Taj? How can someone with such terrifying power take the initiative to cover up traces of their existence?" Coulson raised a question that he believed to be critical.
In his opinion, with the knowledge, technology and power possessed by Allen and the other three people, they can completely conquer and rule the earth without any effort.
Even most ordinary people cannot feel this process.
But now, the other party is willing to abide by the most basic order of human society just because it has reached an agreement with Sorcerer Supreme.
"I don't know! But it is certain that Sorcerer Supreme and Kamar-Taj must be the most powerful forces on earth. They have been hiding in the dark and silently Guardians mankind. This means that we are not actually completely without bargaining chips." Director Egghead's one eye flashed with excitement.
In his understanding, as long as the other party still needs to abide by certain rules and bottom lines, then there is the possibility of transaction and cooperation.
Maybe...
We can also use this as a springboard to connect with Sorcerer Supreme and Kamar-Taj, thus forming a human unified line First Shinobi World War.
Coulson obviously noticed the thoughts of his director, and immediately took out his mobile phone and pressed the video recorded in Wonderful House.
moment!
Along with Allen's explanation, one thing after another that far exceeds the technology of the earth appeared on the screen.
The part about magic is far beyond even Nick Fury's understanding.
When the video ended, he turned his attention to the small transparent bottles placed on the table, as well as the red and blue potions in the bottles.
"Coulson, do you think the things you saw in Wonderful House are real?" Director Egghead frowned and picked up one of the bottles.
"Sorry, Director, I don't know. To be precise, I didn't know what I was doing or thinking the whole time. I just accepted it passively. If you really want to confirm, prepare enough equivalents for exchange. I personally think that gold is a good choice. As long as you spend a few golds, you should be able to exchange some knowledge, technology and items from the other party, and then you can naturally confirm the authenticity." Coulson suggested cautiously.
Nick Fury nodded thoughtfully. "Well, it seems that although the threat level of these foreign visitors is high and scary, the actual threat is not high. At least judging from their attitudes, they are more inclined to engage in some exchanges and cooperation. Immediately create a special file for each of the three targets, and find psychological experts to analyze each of their personalities and preferences as much as possible."
"Well... Director, you know this is not a job I'm good at."
"I know! Don't worry, I will send Agent Romanoff to assist you. Remember, this is very important to the entire region and mankind. If we can obtain advanced knowledge, technology and Superpowers from them, then the next time we face a similar crisis, we will not be as powerless as we are now." Nick Fury warned in a serious tone.
"Understood! As long as the funds are in place, I will take action immediately. But you'd better make a list, otherwise I'm afraid I will be spoiled for choice when the time comes."
Just as S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Egghead was discussing how to take action with his most trusted subordinates, the two tactical teams on Hydra couldn't wait to start approaching Wonderful House.
The person responsible for commanding this operation is none other than Alexander Pierce's right-hand man, senior agent Sitwell.
Ever since he saw Coulson enter Wonderful House and then come out with a lot of small bottles, he couldn't help but want to find out.
After all, according to the information obtained from the headquarters laboratory, these three people, who were defined as Level 10 secrets by Nick Fury, are very likely to possess power powerful enough to easily destroy the earth.
So if Hydra can get part of it, then there will no longer be a need to roam around Tibet like rats like now, for fear that once it is exposed, it will be suppressed and wanted by the whole world again.
While this Hydra senior cadre was imagining the wonderful scene after the organization successfully rules the world, "Crossbones" Brock Rumlow, who was responsible for the specific actions, immediately raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.
"What's going on? Why did you stop?" Sitwell asked immediately.
"Didn't you notice? We have been running around in circles! There must be some kind of power protection around that house that we don't know about. Outsiders cannot enter without the owner's permission." Crossbones gave the answer with a gloomy face.
"Then how did Coulson get in just now?" Sitwell asked a very pointed question.
Crossbones turned over angrily Byakugan: "How do I know! Maybe his good-natured appearance played a role. In short, we can't get close to that house now. What should we do now? Retreat first, or report the situation directly to the superiors?"
"No way! Let's retreat first. With Nick Fury's character, he will definitely not let such an important target escape his sight. I believe it won't be long before Coulson will return with more manpower. We only need to place spies in the new action team to get first-hand information. What's more, isn't the thing S.H.I.E.L.D. ours?"
When saying these words, an extremely sinister and cunning smile appeared on Sitwell's face.
You must know that with the efforts of Dr. Zola, Hydra has infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. into a sieve, and even used this once hostile organization as its own incubation base.
If it weren't for Nick Fury's cunning and suspicious character, who likes to separate and hide all secrets, it is estimated that Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D. could be combined into one and directly perform what it means to be resurrected on the spot using a chicken to lay an egg.
"Hmph! That's right." Crossbones also grinned.
The moment he made the retreat gesture, he suddenly found that the weapon in his hand became extremely heavy, and finally reached the point where he could not pick it up at all.
In fact, not only himself, but other team members around him also had similar reactions.
And as time goes by, the weight of weapons is getting heavier and heavier.
One member's pistol was so heavy that it ripped open his gun bag and fell from his waist to the ground with a snap.
Some people even had their arms dislocated due to being pulled by the heavy gun.
Before they could figure out what happened, a sarcastic voice echoed in everyone's minds.
"It's not polite to approach someone's home with a weapon. Since this is your first offense, I won't hold you accountable. Leave the weapon behind and get out of here."
Sitwell Hearing these words, his face suddenly turned pale, and beads of sweat fell down his hairless head.
No hesitation!
He was the first to throw away all the firearms and tactical daggers on his body, and ran towards the parked vehicles on the street without looking back.
Crossbones and other team members also followed suit, discarding all their weapons in less than a minute.
The speed at which Taozhi Yaoyao raised his hands was exactly the same as the France military salute.
