The Unwillingly Named Hawkeye

"Congratulations to the host for successfully killing the supervillain Brock Rumlow, completing the first battle with a plot character after crossing over and achieving victory. The host will receive the reward 'System's Encouragement,' which will be issued now."

"Host, you're amazing!"

"Reward issuance complete, host please continue to work hard!"

Hearing the system's prompt in his ear, Li Congxin's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

This was truly encouragement from the system!

Besides encouragement, there was nothing substantial!

Speaking of which, Crossbones was a key villain, so why was he so worthless?

Moreover, when did this God-Tier BGM System turn into a comedian?

However, upon hearing the system's prompt, Li Congxin gave up the idea of going up to deliver another blow to Crossbones. He turned to look at Nalan Qing, who was lying behind a trash can, his wounds still bleeding profusely.

"Big Brother!"

At this moment, Nalan Bai also rushed over from the alley entrance behind them, looking nervously at the fallen Nalan Qing, unsure of what to do.

From the tears streaming down her face, it was evident that she had been secretly watching the battle.

However, Nalan Bai, being from a martial arts background, had seen some action even though she hadn't practiced martial arts herself. She knew that jumping out in the previous situation would only cause trouble, so she had quietly hidden to the side, only running out after everything had settled.

Turning off the BGM, Li Congxin endured the severe pain in his arm, removed the weights again, and threw them aside. He then asked Nalan Bai, "Why did you run over here?"

"When you left, you forgot to ask me for your Walkman. Big Brother drove me here specifically to bring it to you," Nalan Bai explained. "We didn't expect to chase you all the way here and coincidentally see you fighting that guy with the skull mask. Big Brother told me to hide, and he charged forward with his stick himself."

Hearing Nalan Bai's explanation, Li Congxin couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart.

He hadn't forgotten about the Walkman at all; he just didn't ask for it because he saw Nalan Bai enjoying listening to it. Anyway, the item was just a decoration for him, and he could buy a new one later.

He never expected that such a casual decision would drag them both into this big mess, and even cause Nalan Qing to be seriously injured.

This was not the time for reflection. Li Congxin immediately said to Nalan Bai, "If you have a car, that's best. Help me lift your brother into the car and rush him to the hospital."

"But your arm..."

"I won't die!"

Nalan Bai was not strong, and Li Congxin's arm was injured. It took all their might to lift Nalan Qing into the car.

Fortunately, the Nalan family's car was a medium-sized minivan with a spacious interior. Nalan Bai helped Nalan Qing lie down on the rear seats and said to Li Congxin without looking up, "I'll take care of my brother, you drive."

Li Congxin: ...

After a moment of hesitation, Li Congxin braced himself and said, "Um, Nalan Bai, do you know how to drive?"

"I don't..." Nalan Bai turned to look at Li Congxin, then asked somewhat sheepishly, "It should be okay for you to drive with one hand, right?"

Li Congxin's old face turned red. "It doesn't matter how many hands I use to drive, the problem is I don't know how to drive."

"Um, do you need any help?" Suddenly, a voice came from behind them. Turning around, they saw a man with a bow and arrow on his back and an eyepatch, showing them a harmless smile.

Li Congxin was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "Hello, my name is Li Congxin, you can also call me Clark Li. May I ask who you are?"

Received Impression Points +10 from Clinton Francis Barton!

Clinton Francis Barton?

Hawkeye?

Another plot character!

Hawkeye, completely unaware that his identity had been exposed by Li Congxin's cheat with true name recognition, continued to feign mystery, "If I wanted to reveal my identity, I wouldn't be wearing an eyepatch. But don't worry, I only have a driver's license, no malicious intent."

Looking at the man's attire, which resembled that of a circus performer, Hawkeye probably hadn't joined S.H.I.E.L.D. yet.

Furthermore, if the man really had malicious intentions towards them, Li Congxin, in his current one-armed state, wouldn't be able to resist much. He probably wouldn't bother playing dirty tricks on him.

Understanding the key point, Li Congxin nodded at Hawkeye, "Then I'll trouble you."

Hawkeye didn't stand on ceremony and got into the driver's seat. "Where to?"

"The hospital," Li Congxin paused slightly, then added, "The best hospital in New York!"

Upon arriving at the hospital, Hawkeye, who didn't want to reveal his identity, voluntarily disappeared. With the help of the medical staff, Li Congxin sent Nalan Qing to the emergency room and stayed behind himself.

"Oh, isn't this Clark? You're here again."

The nurse who was treating Li Congxin's wound happened to be the same nurse who had taken care of him during his previous hospitalization. He remembered her name was something like Christine. Back then, Li Congxin was overwhelmed by the Quantum Realm incident and didn't bother to ask for her full name.

However, the way this girl greeted him was truly hard to complain about.

But Li Congxin wasn't in the mood to complain now. He quickly asked, "How is it?"

"The situation is not good," Nurse Christine sighed and shook her head. "Besides the bullet, there's a large amount of iron shot mixed with the bullet that was fired into your muscle tissue. You'll need surgery to remove all the iron shot inside, otherwise, your body's faster-than-normal recovery speed will only make the situation worse."

"I'm not asking about myself!" Li Congxin listened for a long time, and it was about his own wound. He quickly pressed on, "What about the patient who came with me, the one who was shot in the abdomen? How is he?"

"His condition is even worse," Christine said. "The bullet penetrated his left kidney, causing massive bleeding. The difficulty of the suturing surgery is extremely high; ordinary doctors cannot perform such an operation."

Nalan Qing was sent to the emergency room, and Nalan Bai, who had come with him, could only wait for news with Li Congxin. As soon as Christine's internal news came out, the little girl immediately cried out, "Waaah," covering her head.

"Nalan Bai, don't worry, there will be a way," Li Congxin quickly comforted Nalan Bai and then asked Christine, "You said ordinary doctors cannot perform such surgery, which means extraordinary doctors can, right?"

Christine nodded. "As far as I know, only Dr. Stephen Strange would be confident enough for this kind of surgery. But he just got off work not too long ago, and he's never willing to work overtime. And the patient's condition, if not treated promptly, might not hold on until tomorrow morning."

Hearing Christine say this, Nalan Bai's tears once again streamed down her face.

Li Congxin patted her shoulder with his still-functional right hand and said in a low voice to comfort her, "It's okay, I'll figure something out."

"Stephen Strange, is it? I'll make him work overtime."

"Miss Christine, could I trouble you to give me Dr. Strange's phone number?"
