Ling Yi didn't answer Nick's question, but smiled and said, "The director of the Divine S.H.I.E.L.D. has personally appeared, so it's obvious you've already figured something out."
"For example, a pistol that can make bullets curve, or equipment with Invincible Defense?"
Seeing Nick's slightly surprised look, Ling Yi smiled confidently and continued, "You guessed right, those equipment were indeed made by me. Let me formally introduce myself, my name is Ling Yi, and I'm an enchanter."
"An enchanter can transform ordinary equipment into magical equipment. Do you understand now?"
Nick nodded, but his expression was clearly displeased; this passive stance made him feel very awkward.
"Give it a try!" Ling Yi pulled out a pistol and tossed it to Nick.
Nick was surprised that Ling Yi would just throw such powerful equipment at him like that.
Nick checked the magazine, and then, to Ling Yi's astonishment, he disassembled the pistol into a pile of parts in the blink of an eye, before putting it back together a moment later.
Nick released the safety pin and scanned the area, seemingly searching for a test target.
"Let's go outside!" Ling Yi put on his shirt and slippers, and walked out of the bedroom.
Nick didn't waste any words and followed immediately.
Upon arriving at the warehouse on the ground, Ling Yi randomly picked up a beer can and placed it behind a wooden crate.
Then he said to Nick, "Try attacking that can."
Nick frowned; he couldn't see the can from his angle, but he didn't ask any questions and pulled the trigger directly at the wooden crate.
To Nick's astonishment, the bullet he fired automatically traced an arc, flew over the wooden crate from above, and then plummeted vertically downwards.
A series of Dingdang sounds followed, the sound of the struck aluminum can bouncing up with Dali before tumbling to the ground.
Even with Nick's extensive training in facial expression management, he couldn't help but be moved at this moment.
Nick then fired several more shots at the can. Even if he was pointing the gun at something else, as long as he was thinking about the can, he was sure to hit it.
At this moment, Nick Fury was absolutely enamored with the gun in his hand.
He could almost picture what it would be like for the agents of the S.H.I.E.L.D. to carry out their missions once they were equipped with such weapons.
"I can provide you with ten of these pistols, and in the future, I can even provide you with more powerful magical equipment."
"What do you need?" Nick knew as soon as he asked that question that he was in a passive position again.
"A legal identity, ownership of this warehouse and the surrounding land, a set of high-density CNC machine tools and supporting facilities, a small metal smelting furnace, and a supercomputer."
"Add defensive magic equipment," Nick said.
Ling Yi shook his head. "Don't even think about it, at least not for now."
"Why?"
"There's no reason why. Of course, you can try to steal or rob, but..." Ling Yi snapped his the Snap.
"Try this gun again!"
Nick was taken aback. After changing the magazine, he fired two more shots at random and was surprised to find that the gun had turned into an ordinary pistol again, completely losing its previous magical effects.
This is a new system function that Ling Yi discovered.
Since the system can enhance equipment with status skills, it can also remove status skills.
After Nick appeared, a series of thoughts flashed through Ling Yi's mind.
As an enchanter, collaborating with the S.H.I.E.L.D. to trade enchanted equipment might be a good option.
Trading is necessary, but Ling Yi would never allow the equipment he trades out to one day pose a threat to him.
So he tried removing the status skills from the equipment, and surprisingly, it actually worked.
Not only did it succeed, but it also unexpectedly triggered a new system function.
The deleted status skill will automatically generate a Skill Stone Skill Stone, which can be used to enhance other equipment.
However, deleting a status skill does not require touching the equipment, but re-enhancing a status skill requires touching the equipment.
In addition, the system's backpack function was activated.
Ling Yi guessed that, according to the system's original settings, the generated Skill Stone would be automatically stored in the system's inventory.
However, the system does not currently have a backpack function. In order to achieve this setting, the system backpack function module that should have been there was forcibly activated.
However, the system inventory can currently only store Skill Stone, which is a big drawback!
Ling Yi had a hunch: was it possible that he might activate other functions of the system in the future?
The so-called system reset may not actually delete the functional modules, but rather put them into an initial state, requiring certain conditions to activate them.
"This kind of deal isn't fair." Nick immediately understood Ling Yi's intention: he was telling him not to expect to use his weapons against him; it was impossible.
"No, it's fair. Of course, you can refuse."
"How much magical equipment can you provide each month?" Nick asked, frowning.
"It depends on what I need."
Nick's face darkened. He hated the feeling of being manipulated by others; it was awful.
Nick left with ten pistols enhanced with increased accuracy.
Ling Yi, on the other hand, returned to the basement and began frantically upgrading his equipment before extracting Skill Stone.
The reason Ling Yi hadn't upgraded more equipment before was because he was worried that if something unexpected happened here, the equipment might leak out, which was something Ling Yi didn't want to see.
But now it's different; all he needs is a set of equipment.
The remaining task is to stockpile Skill Stone for future use.
After all, the status skills generated each day are random, and no one knows whether the status skills refreshed today will appear again in the future.
We were busy until almost midnight.
Looking at the hundreds of Skill Stone with a 100% hit rate in my system inventory, I felt incredibly satisfied.
"Bite!"
Just after midnight, the familiar notification sounded in Ling Yi's mind again.
Ling Yi eagerly opened the system interface to check the status skills that had been refreshed today.
System: Equipment Enhancement System (Fragment)
Host: Ling Yi
Status skills (refreshed today):
Touch of Greed: When hitting a target, there is a 10% chance to Plunder the target's attributes. The Plunder percentage is random, with a maximum Plunder 100%. There is also a 0.1% chance to Plunder the target's skills. (Note: This effect cannot be stacked!)
"Holy crap!" Ling Yi stood up abruptly.
"This skill, this skill, haha!" Ling Yi was so excited he could barely speak.
He now has only one thought: Laozi going to be invincible.
This status skill is absolutely crucial for Ling Yi right now.
You see, what he lacks most right now is strength.
Although this status skill cannot be stacked like the previous two skills, it is already powerful enough.
" Skill Stone, let's get them."
Ling Yi spent almost the entire day enhancing his equipment and converting Skill Stone.
He even forgot to eat, and was in a semi -Madness state.
The pressure from the Marvel Universe was simply too much for him.
Like all the Protagonist, he suffers from a common ailment: a fear of inadequacy.
If you lack strength, you will feel uncomfortable all over your body.
Ling Yi worked until after 10 p. m., and his backpack contained more than 1,500 Skill Stone.
Only then did Ling Yi finally feel hungry, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, realizing that he had overestimated his ability to withstand pressure.
Ling Yi knew very well why this was the case; it stemmed from a fear of the future.
The Marvel Universe is extremely complex, Main Universe, parallel universes, the multiverse...
Before Ling Yi's time travel, Marvel movies had already begun to explore the multiverse.
The Time Variance Authority, which Loki brought in, was just the beginning.
After calming herself down, Ling Yi went to the kitchen and cooked herself a sumptuous meal: braised pork ribs, stewed beef with Potato, and rice—perfect.
However, when Ling Yi brought the dishes into the living room, he saw a voluptuous and alluring woman with fiery red hair sitting at the dining table looking at him.
"Water Specialist, do you guys at the S.H.I.E.L.D. like to appear and disappear so mysteriously?"
" Natasha Romanoff, Level 8 Agent of the S.H.I.E.L.D.. Also, the name 'S.H.I.E.L.D. ' is quite good; from now on, I won't have to use that long, tedious name when introducing myself."
It has to be admitted that Natasha is truly... alluring, the kind of woman who exudes a fiery charm from head to toe.
This kind of charm is incredibly alluring to men.
However, this charm didn't have much effect on Ling Yi.
It's not that Ling Yi's resistance was particularly strong, but rather that he had a different perspective; he knew Natasha's past, present, and future.
Moreover, Ling Yi has not yet integrated into this world. To him, everyone in this world is like a game data NPC.
"Want to eat together?" Ling Yi casually invited.
Natasha was already drawn in by the aroma of the food and naturally sat down at the table.
"With me, you can drop all pretenses. I know everything about you—your past, present, and even your future—better than you know yourself."
Ling Yi was in a slightly passive position regarding the deal with the S.H.I.E.L.D.. A simple transactional relationship wasn't secure enough; Ling Yi needed to make himself more mysterious.
"Do you enchanters also do fortune-telling on the side?"
Ling Yi shrugged and didn't explain. Instead, he said, "In the future, you will be a hero. You used your life to Guard the people you wanted to Guard."
"Really? That's quite good!" Natasha laughed, though how much she believed her was anyone's guess.
"I'm not worthy of being a hero." Natasha shrugged, and that was the truth of her words; Natasha genuinely felt she didn't deserve the title of hero.
She was once a special agent trained by the Red Room. Anyone who could walk out of the Red Room had hands stained with blood, from both enemies and comrades.
"You certainly deserve it, even more than the Captain Steve Rogers, he was a hero created by the times. There are many people with a sense of justice; perhaps someone else could have done the same."
"You emerge from darkness, yet carry light within you; this is the most precious quality you possess."
Ling Yi could tell that Natasha didn't believe him.
But Ling Yi believed that these words would definitely have some impact on Natasha.
Ling Yi wants to gradually build an "omniscient" persona for himself, and these words are just the beginning.
Ling Yi's words weren't just for Natasha's ears; they were also for Nick Fury.
He knew that Nick, the Old Liu, was secretly listening to their conversation.
Of course, Ling Yi is not wrong either. No matter how Black Widow is portrayed in other novel worlds, Black Widow performance in the Movie Marvel Universe is indeed worthy of praise.
Thor, Tony, Hulk, Steve, Hawkeye, Doctor Strange, Wanda... which of these people doesn't have selfish motives? Their ideals of Guard the world are not pure, or rather, most of them are passive.
Ling Yi's words truly touched Natasha's heart; this was the first time someone had ever spoken of her in such a way.
Natasha lowered her head, forcibly suppressing this strange yet familiar emotion that she hadn't felt in years.
"Thanks!"
"No need to thank me. The reason I'm willing to trade with the S.H.I.E.L.D. and give the magical equipment to Nick is simply because I know you've been working hard to Guard this world."
"Although Nick's methods are somewhat dark, he is indeed Guard this world."
At this moment, in the headquarters of the S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury heard Ling Yi's evaluation of Natasha and himself, and a rare smile appeared on his usually Bing Shuang face.
Ling Yi's words clearly worked.
