Natasha doesn't easily believe anyone; this is one of the basic safety rules for an agent.
"My world is peaceful. There are no mutants, no Mutants, and no evil organizations like Hydra. So, for someone like me, it's quite Bored."
"Coming here will give me more wonderful experiences in my life, and that's my purpose."
"Although my position prevents me from easily trusting your words, I still choose to believe you."
Ling Yi smiled slightly, "Thank you. It's noon, let's go have lunch together."
"With pleasure." Natasha smiled brightly, took Ling Yi's arm, and the two walked out like a couple.
Jiang Chen, who was on the opposite side, happened to witness Ling Yi and Natasha leaving.
Looking at the empty " Darkness Shop," I couldn't suppress my curiosity any longer.
Ling Yi's appearance was too sudden and too strange. Given that they were both Easterners, he suspected that Ling Yi might also be a time traveler.
Or rather, Ling Yi, like him, came from the same Earth and transmigrated to the Marvel Universe.
Humans are strange creatures. If they were the only bug in the world, they could play however they wanted without any pressure.
But having another "kind" can create a great sense of crisis.
Even if this person is from the same hometown, even if this person has no hostility towards him.
However, he was no longer the "only one," a feeling that made Jiang Chen very unhappy.
Jiang Chen was not a Sage; he was just an ordinary person before he transmigrated.
It's enough to be alone in this world and do whatever you want; if another person comes along, it becomes very difficult.
The Shadow beneath his feet flickered, and the next moment, two dark figures appeared in front of him before disappearing into the ground. When they reappeared, they were already inside Ling Yi's shop.
However, the next moment, Jiang Chen frowned. He could clearly feel that the two Shadow had instantly cut off contact with him after entering the " Darkness Shop ".
This means that both Shadow are dead.
Although the Shadow only existed for a moment, Jiang Chen still managed to see the situation inside the shop through the last bit of Sharing memory transmitted back by the Shadow.
"That guy."
Identical items: game health potions, Ebony Blade, cloth armor...
Exactly the same, no, there's one difference: these items are indeed one cent cheaper than their own prices.
However, the " Darkness Shop " was clearly fraught with danger, with some kind of trap inside.
It feels more like Formation from a fantasy novel.
If it weren't for this, Jiang Chen would probably have rushed in by now.
Around 2 PM, after having lunch with Natasha, Ling Yi finally returned to the shop.
I could see Jiang Chen in front of the shop from afar.
Unable to contain his curiosity and fueled by all sorts of wild imaginations, Jiang Chen finally decided to meet Ling Yi.
"Who exactly are you?" Jiang Chen asked Ling Yi, frowning.
"My name is Ling Yi. We're from the same hometown, you should understand."
Ling Yi Perception Jiang Chen's disgust and his murderous intent towards him.
This made Ling Yi somewhat disappointed in this Jumper.
Come to think of it, this was the first Jumper to actually have a conversation with him.
"I was skeptical before, but it turns out it really is someone from my hometown. It's truly a joy to meet someone from my hometown in this world."
Jiang Chen laughed and said, "How did you transmigrate here? You must have some kind of cheat code, right?"
Ling Yi shook his head. "You'll find out later."
"You..." Jiang Chen was somewhat annoyed.
Ling Yi shook her head again, waved her hand to interrupt him, and said, "You do your thing, don't worry about me."
"I don't want to get involved, but what's with you opening this Darkness Shop? This is clearly competition, or rather, malicious competition."
Jiang Chen suppressed his disgust and inexplicable anger, and said indifferently.
"Oh, sorry, this is my cheat system. I rely on this to increase my strength."
"So, I can only apologize. After all, the market is only so big, and competition is inevitable."
Ling Yi didn't care much about this " Darkness Shop " at all, or rather, he thought it was just a prank.
He'll shut it down and leave soon.
He has countless ways to spend money on in-game purchases.
But seeing Jiang Chen's current state, Ling Yi smiled disdainfully and changed his mind.
"Your cheat ability isn't...?" Jiang Chen asked, frowning.
"It's a pay-to-win game. You get stronger by spending money, so there's nothing you can do about it," Ling Yi said with a shrug.
Is that really the case? Jiang Chen was speechless, but he felt that this was too much of a coincidence.
They exchanged a few more casual words and then went their separate ways.
"As Jumper, as Traitor, where does such resentment come from?"
"If it weren't for wanting to spend more time in this world..." Ling Yi said dismissively.
S.H.I.E.L.D.. sent Natasha to test the waters, then Jiang Chen came to test the waters, and finally Hydra also sent someone to test the waters.
It has to be said, Hydra is Hydra.
The method of probing was indeed... Hydra.
The 20-man squad, all elites, unleashed a barrage of heavy firepower.
Jiang Chen watched the commotion from inside the shop.
He experienced all of this when he first joined Marvel and opened this "rip-off" shop.
His little shop has been destroyed several times.
He was waiting to see Ling Yi's shop destroyed so he could go and "comfort" her.
However, Ling Yi was not Little White like Jiang Chen.
The " Darkness Shop " was surrounded by attack Formation.
After a barrage of bombardments, the shop was completely unharmed.
The attack was completely blocked outside the shop by an unseen force.
Then, a bolt of Lightning struck from the sky.
The twenty Hydra were blasted to charred remains with perfect accuracy; a gentle breeze then turned them into dust, which scattered with the wind.
"Wow, is it really that good right from the start?" Jiang Chen was a little taken aback.
I opened my newbie gift pack and got a wizard class, but the opponent is going for a fantasy/xianxia (fantasy martial arts) style.
To be honest, the fantasy genre is pretty exaggerated, okay?
Whether in terms of attack power or methods, it seems that they are beyond the reach of my wizard profession.
Although you can advance and become stronger simply by spending money.
However, this foundation is far inferior to that of the Xianxia (fantasy/martial arts) genre.
"No, I want to spend money on in-game purchases, I want to make money."
For a period of time afterward, the two stores began to engage in "malicious competition."
However, the intensity of this competition left the "customers" speechless.
"These two guys, if they're going to compete, can't they be a little more competitive? Lowering the score by one point at a time, what's going on?" Nick Fury said, rubbing his head.
"So, which store should we order from today?" Coulson asked.
"Of course it's Ling Yi's shop; every penny saved counts."
"The important thing is that Ling Yi is easier to talk to than Jiang Chen."
"See if you can get him a bigger discount." Nick's broke too, so he'll naturally try to save money wherever possible.
So, Coulson went to Ling Yi's " Darkness Shop ".
Just before entering the store, I saw Jiang Chen come out. I gave an awkward smile and then went inside.
Jiang Chen gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Damn it, he stole my business again."
But should we drastically reduce prices? It's not that we can't, but we're worried.
Once this precedent is set, the outcome becomes difficult to predict.
Although there's one more competitor, these equipment and items are all unique.
As long as Ling Yi doesn't drastically lower his prices, he will still have customers.
With the existing channels already in place, it's still possible to make money.
Therefore, a significant price reduction is impossible, and he felt that Ling Yi wouldn't do that either.
However, what he didn't know was that Ling Yi's cheat ability was different, or more accurately, on a different level.
Ling Yi can buy things a hundred times cheaper than Jiang Chen in the System Shop.
In addition, Ling Yi doesn't necessarily have to sell items from the Pay-to-Win Shop.
He can Manifestation something with similar power through the Hunter System.
It's practically a risk-free business.
In other words, Ling Yi isn't worried at all about malicious competition.
"Mr. Ling Yi, dealing with you is truly a pleasant experience."
This was different from the cautious and apprehensive manner he displayed when communicating with Jiang Chen.
Being with Ling Yi made Coulson feel very comfortable and relaxed.
First, Natasha has already relayed Ling Yi's previous words to S.H.I.E.L.D..
This gave everyone at S.H.I.E.L.D.., including Nick Fury, the feeling that Ling Yi was a kindred spirit.
Secondly, Ling Yi did not have that arrogant attitude.
Therefore, even if Ling Yi doesn't lower his price, S.H.I.E.L.D.. would still prefer to deal with Ling Yi.
Previously, only Jiang Chen's store had a monopoly, and there was nothing that could be done about it.
Given the current choices, people will naturally choose the " Darkness Shop " that makes them more comfortable.
Ling Yi thought for a moment, then bought a spatial ring from the store and handed it to Coulson.
A 10m x 10m x 10m spatial ring, priced at 10,000 gold coins (equivalent to 1 million dollars) in the store.
This deal brought him tens of millions of dollars in revenue; $1 million was nothing to S.H.I.E.L.D., he wouldn't mind giving it away for free.
Coulson found it somewhat perplexing; giving a ring as a gift—was it a customary practice in the East?
Isn't a ring only given as a wedding gift?
"This is a spatial ring," Ling Yi explained.
"Empty, a spatial ring? Yes, is that the spatial ring I understand?"
Coulson's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief.
"You'll know once you drip your blood on it."
Coulson was dumbfounded. Did such a thing as a spatial ring really exist?
He had seen space equipment before, but most of them were unstable and only appeared by chance.
There are quite a few of these items in S.H.I.E.L.D.. 084's personal inventory, but none of them have any functional or practical uses.
"Seeing how much trouble and danger you had transporting the equipment, consider this a gift."
"Give it away? Give it away?" Coulson was genuinely shocked.
"This spatial equipment might be difficult for you to obtain, but it's not difficult for me."
"But you should understand the significance and value of this item, so I won't sell it, but you can give it to a friend."
Coulson said gratefully, "Thank you, thank you."
"Let the blood drip."
Without further hesitation, Coulson took out a tactical knife, cut his finger, and smeared the blood on his ring.
The spatial ring flashed with light and then automatically slipped onto Coulson's finger.
Coulson instantly understood how to use the spatial ring.
It's a huge space, 1000 Cosmic Cube, which is equivalent to a giant warehouse.
The key point is that this space is a vacuum, and time is frozen.
You don't have to worry about anything getting damaged if you put it in.
"After this device is bound to me, can only I use it?"
Coulson was somewhat surprised, but also a little excited.
He was initially worried that the bureau chief would confiscate it when he got back.
I didn't expect there to be this restriction.
"Unless you die, no one else can use it."
When Coulson left, he seemed to be floating on air, as if he had reached the Pinnacle of his life.
Jiang Chen on the other side frowned slightly...
"Strange, no deal? Why did Coulson leave empty-handed?"
