Both Sides Wanted to Mold the Other into Their Own Shape!!!

After hearing Catalina's report, Nick Fury thought for a moment before speaking heavily. "Agents, we have a problem!"

"We cannot allow high-tech weapons to fall into the hands of those who should not have them. Those weapons may end up pointed at us."

"Yu Xian, Y Squad's current mission is to investigate the transaction chain, identify everyone involved, and trace the flow of funds."

"At the same time, secretly monitor Tony Stark and determine whether he knows about this. If he does not, then the problem may lie with Stark Industries' upper management. If he knows and chooses to ignore it, we need to make him understand the seriousness of the situation!"

"Finally, identify the buyers and find out where these weapons are going. Terrorists? Or other uncontrolled forces? Find them and cut off the supply chain!"

"Remember, do not alert them. Before obtaining crucial evidence, do not alarm Stark or the military. If action is necessary, we must ensure the evidence is conclusive and avoid complications."

"Alright, my agents, move out! I look forward to your triumphant return!"

Beep beep beep beep!

Listening to the busy signal from the phone, Yu Xian sighed inwardly and glanced sideways at the unusually excited Catalina, who looked as though she had taken stimulants.

"I took on pressure I should not have had to bear because of you. You probably can't keep thinking about slacking off during work from now on, got it?"

After all, if even you, my tool person, start slacking off, how am I supposed to happily loaf around?

"Don't worry, leave it all to me!"

Now that she knew they had received a major assignment, Catalina said it without a care.

[Detected that the host felt pleased after PUA-ing a subordinate. Pleasure Points +100]

Since it had already been decided, he needed to maximize the mission's value.

Could he use this process to earn Tony's friendship?

If he could, would that give him a chance, like little Spider-Man, to receive a suit of armor from Tony?

He had coveted that armor for a long time. He could take this opportunity to see whether he could max out Tony's favorability!

But what exactly should he do?

He did not even know Tony right now. Even if he paid him a visit, with Tony's Playboy personality, wouldn't Tony just take him for a fool?

Even for someone as perfectly normal as himself—

If a stranger suddenly wanted to be friends with you, you would have to wonder whether you had done something immoral lately!

What should he do?

Yu Xian's mind spun rapidly, and before long—

He came up with several ideas.

First: tell Tony about Obadiah Stane's ambitions, let Tony discover the danger lurking around him, and earn his favor.

Second: tell Tony the cause of his father's death and gain his trust.

Third: since Tony would be kidnapped by the Ten Rings while demonstrating weapons in the Middle East, Yu Xian could step in when Tony was at his most desperate and offer help in the snow.

All of those could earn Tony's trust. He would choose the third option.

While gaining Tony's trust, he could also save Dr. Yinsen. Suddenly, he wanted just a tiny bit to see Tony die of embarrassment.

When Tony recalled Yinsen and poured out his true feelings, Yu Xian would suddenly bring Yinsen right before him.

Tsk tsk tsk~

Just imagining that scene was almost too wonderful~

Still, he might need to put on an act.

Since he knew the future plot of the Marvel universe, he should not recklessly alter the major, critical storylines.

As for the details—

As long as he could achieve the final outcome, trimming and cutting the middle portions of the story would not be a problem, so long as the most crucial plot points remained unchanged!

As long as he could benefit from it, even deviating from the proper "ghost" path should be acceptable, right?

For now, he did not possess the strength to dominate the universe. Stability came first, with weaving his own little schemes into the storyline second.

Could anyone who transmigrated, while knowing the plot in advance, really make massive changes to it?

Probably not, right?

Shouldn't they take advantage of their foreknowledge and steer the plot in a direction beneficial to themselves?

Once he became strong enough to swagger across Earth, he would no longer need to care about such minor details.

Even drastically changing the plot would not be a problem then.

However, in that case, his best choice was to stick close to Nick Fury and carry out his own little schemes according to Fury's rhythm!

Ah, poor Nick Fury!

As one of the few subordinates who were not Hydra, he was still being used by Yu Xian. How pitiful.

Amen!

And Skye, the team member Yu Xian had already chosen, would have to be recruited afterward.

Poor Skye, just stay in that beat-up little van of yours a while longer!

When I return, I'll rescue you.

Inside a mobile trailer.

"Achoo~"

Skye rubbed her nose and continued speaking. "Search from the sky, or search from the ground?"

"How will you make us stay silent this time?"

"How will you do it? The truth is already known to everyone, visible everywhere."

"You cannot stop Rising Tide."

"You cannot find us, and you cannot meet us."

"But without question, we will rise up against those who hide the truth from us!"

"..."

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s New York branch, Y Squad's dedicated office.

Yu Xian was eating fruit pizza with a satisfied expression.

[Detected that the host felt pleased while eating delicious food during work hours. Pleasure Points +100]

At the desk across from him, Catalina was scribbling away at all sorts of mission reports.

After a long while, she finally finished the task.

Catalina gently let out a breath.

She looked at Yu Xian, who was drinking coffee and watching a show, and her delicate brows could not help but rise.

If she were not keeping an eye on him, this guy would probably throw a party in the office every day, wouldn't he?

Sigh, since she could not change the surrounding environment at all—

She could only take matters into her own hands and change the environment.

No, the captain was far too lazy. He was clearly powerful, yet he still lay around doing nothing.

Wasn't that simply wasting the talent heaven had given him?

He could clearly spend his time on the right things. Wouldn't it be better to go out and catch more bad guys?

It was time to begin the Captain Development Plan.

I'm going to mold the captain into my shape.

"Captain, everything is ready. Shall we leave now and begin the secret investigation into Stark Industries?"

Catalina timely interrupted Yu Xian's enjoyment.

"Ah~"

Yu Xian stretched comfortably in his recliner and yawned.

When he looked up, it was already past three in the afternoon.

Oh, time for afternoon tea.

Yu Xian leisurely looked at the energetic Catalina and knew that the girl could no longer wait to head out on the mission.

That would not do. As my subordinate, how could she not understand how to properly enjoy life?

Work was endless!

Perhaps I should change her a little?

Right now, he could not even find someone to play games with. Half his happiness was gone.

A teammate who could handle work and play with him was what he truly needed!

Sure enough, loafing around by himself was merely a minor path. Getting everyone to happily loaf around together was the true path.

That was the essence of the Great Dao of Loafing Around.

It was time to begin his team member transformation plan.

Perhaps he could use this chance to set an example and create a model for the members who joined later.

Yu Xian and Catalina looked at each other and said in unison, "Let's go. Target: Stark Industries!"
