Ling Yi's words immediately won over Nick and Natasha, which was one of Ling Yi's goals.
Trust is built up little by little, and this is a good start.
Ling Yi is an outsider, but he is very familiar with the Marvel Universe, especially the Movie Marvel Universe.
It is precisely because of this familiarity that Ling Yi can instinctively step outside the plot and these characters, and approach these people and everything that happens in this world from a third-party perspective, making a more rational decision.
Natasha enjoyed her meal very much and felt relaxed, a feeling that was truly precious to Natasha.
"This is the land ownership certificate. From now on, this entire area around here belongs to you."
"Some equipment and materials will be delivered tomorrow, and I will be in charge of coordinating with you from now on."
Nick originally intended for Coulson to handle the relevant matters with Ling Yi, but after hearing Ling Yi's evaluation of Natasha, he felt that it would be better for Natasha to handle the matter with Ling Yi.
After finishing her business, Natasha tossed the documents to Ling Yi, then stood up, looked around, and said, "If you don't mind, may I stay here?"
"Of course, I don't mind!" Mind was useless; he knew Nick had sent him to "keep an eye on" him.
Even without Natasha, it would have been any other agent from the S.H.I.E.L.D.; none of the other agents are as pleasing to the eye as Natasha.
Or should we bring in a middle-aged Uncle with a receding hairline that's practically sky-high?
"Let me clean up!" Natasha offered to take over when she saw Ling Yi about to clear the dishes.
"Okay!" Ling Yi did not refuse.
Watching Natasha walk into the kitchen, Ling Yi couldn't help but smile. This feeling was quite nice, wasn't it? It felt a bit like home now.
Natasha chose the bedroom Mindy used to have. But what will happen when Mindy comes back?
By then, this place will probably have changed drastically. Since the land here belongs to him, Ling Yi naturally intends to turn it into a villa estate.
This will be his home in the Marvel Universe from now on.
Moreover, Natasha couldn't keep an eye on him forever.
Ling Yi was lying on the table, designing some small, miscellaneous equipment blueprints for himself.
Ling Yi felt that his previous thoughts were somewhat ridiculous.
Why must equipment consist of weapons and Firearms?
Since the system doesn't care about the appearance of equipment, wouldn't it be better to just have a bunch of rings, bracelets, necklaces, and other small items?
In any case, as long as you wear it, you can get comprehensive defense without any blind spots.
This is the limitation of mindset. For example, when people think of defensive equipment, they think of shields and armor, but in reality, status skills have no such limitation.
"Are you designing a ring?" Natasha asked curiously as she finished tidying up the room, just in time to see Ling Yi sketching out a design.
"This is magical equipment," Ling Yi explained. He couldn't help but touch his nose when he smelled the pleasant fragrance emanating from Natasha. Natasha Ling Yi continued working.
Was this woman doing it on purpose? She definitely did it on purpose.
For a secret agent, especially a beautiful one, using her body to complete missions is perfectly normal.
Realizing this, Ling Yi's last lingering affection for Natasha vanished.
Seeing that Ling Yi ignored her and made no attempt to explain, she knew that her actions might have offended Ling Yi.
As a skilled agent, I understand the principle that too much of a good thing can be bad.
At this moment, Ling Yi was drawing a dragon on a blueprint, but Ling Yi had no drawing skills at all and overestimated his manual dexterity.
After making a few strokes, he simply crumpled the drawing into a ball and threw it aside.
Are you trying to carve a snake on it?
Ling Yi's forehead creased with annoyance. "This is a dragon, a dragon, an Eastern dragon, not a snake."
Seeing Ling Yi's sullen expression, Natasha couldn't help but smile.
"Why don't you let me try?"
"You can do this too?" Ling Yi said, handing over the pencil.
"Tell me your philosophy?" Natasha sat down next to Ling Yi, grabbed a piece of paper, and asked Ling Yi earnestly.
"I need ten pictures: the four sacred beasts— Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise; the four auspicious beasts— Qilin, Phoenix, Qiongqi, Taotie; and the last two—a sun and a moon—representing yin and yang, the Yin and Yang and the moon."
Ling Yi told Natasha his thoughts.
"I've been to the East and understand its totems. Give them to me."
Is this what makes top agents so amazing? They really can do everything?
Natasha pondered for a moment, then began to sketch the outlines of the Ten Rings.
Watching Natasha skillfully outline the Azure Dragon's texture, and more importantly, with a damn three-dimensional effect, Ling Yi was filled with admiration.
"Amazing!" Ling Yi's words were genuine praise, and he gave Natasha a thumbs up.
Natasha finished in about an hour.
It's fast, efficient, and most importantly, the drawings are really good.
Ling Yi looked at the eight rings and two finger rings on the paper and couldn't help but marvel.
"Find me a factory to produce a thousand, no, five thousand sets!"
"Okay!" Natasha didn't ask any more questions. She could tell that although Ling Yi had praised her a lot before, he was very wary of her.
She could clearly sense that Ling Yi was deliberately keeping his distance from her.
This young man from the East is not as simple as he appears on the surface.
It's almost midnight now.
Ling Yi pretended to yawn. Even though Natasha knew Ling Yi was faking it and that she should leave, she was still quite annoyed.
She'd been so busy helping Ling Yi for so long, and he hadn't even said a word of thanks...
"Thanks for your hard work today. Get some rest." Ling Yi said with a yawn. Natasha rolled her eyes. Well, at least he got a thank you, even if it didn't seem very sincere.
But as a top agent, controlling emotions is a fundamental skill. She gave Ling Yi a smile and said, "Goodnight, Enchanter."
Ling Yi waved and returned to his room, then locked the door, rubbing his hands together, waiting expectantly for the system to refresh.
"Bite!"
As the familiar notification sound rang out, Ling Yi opened the system panel.
System: Equipment Enhancement System (Fragment)
Host: Ling Yi
Status skills (refreshed today):
Double Critical Hit: When attacking, there is a 10% chance to trigger Double Critical Hit.
Ling Yi was somewhat disappointed with this status skill.
This skill isn't very useful to him. With the Touch of Greed, as long as he keeps triggering the Touch of Greed effect, Ling Yi has the confidence to fight even the strongest enemy head-on.
The effect of Critical Hit is not so obvious.
However, this status skill isn't very useful to him, but he could sell it to Nick.
I'm sure Nick will like it.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore, I'm going to sleep!" Ling Yi's enthusiasm had waned considerably, so she decided to talk about it tomorrow.
The next morning, as soon as Ling Yi got up, he smelled the familiar aroma of millet porridge.
Ling Yi was taken aback for a moment, then realized that Natasha must have made breakfast.
There's also a secret agent in the family.
"What are your requirements for the decoration style of the manor villa?" Natasha asked during the meal.
"Retro, close to nature, as long as it doesn't turn into a prison, Nick is going to fund the construction of a manor for me?"
Natasha nodded and said, "That's all?"
Ling Yi shrugged and said, "I don't know what kind of building would be suitable right now."
"I'll find some sample designs later, you can choose one. By the way, the ring and band have already been made, they should be finished tomorrow."
"I won't look at the blueprints. I don't know anything about this. Just do what you think is best."
So what are you planning to do this morning?
Ling Yi thought for a moment and said, "Practice enchanting equipment."
Ling Yi shrugged. "Go ahead and watch. If you can figure it out, I'll admit defeat."
Instead of hiding it, we should show it off openly and tell Nick and the others that this is our unique skill, and they could never learn it even if they were blind.
Throughout the morning, Ling Yi continuously enhanced a dagger with new status skills, then deleted them and converted them into Skill Stone.
In Natasha's eyes, Ling Yi was simply pressing and pressing on a dagger repeatedly, as if he were giving the dagger a massage.
This quickly killed Natasha's interest, and she made up an excuse to run off and report to Nick.
Nick sighed after hanging up Natasha's call; it seemed impossible for him to steal the knowledge.
Just then, a red cesium phone on Nick's desk rang.
Nick frowned; this phone number was directly connected to the official Amaileken.
On Nick's desk were three telephones: a red one, a blue one, and a white one.
Blue Sesame is the internal phone number of the S.H.I.E.L.D.; only high-ranking agents are authorized to call it.
The phone used by Bai Ce is only used when special events occur.
It is also the most secure of the three phones.
Using this phone means something big is about to happen.
"This is Nick!" Nick said curtly after the call connected.
" Thaddeus Ross messed things up; the situation is getting out of control."
At the same time, a video connection request appeared on the monitor in front of Nick, and Nick chose to answer.
Immediately, a set of live footage taken from high altitude appeared on the monitor.
As Nick watched the green cesium monster on screen swatting at a tank like a fly swatter, his lips twitched rapidly.
"Is this the trouble Thaddeus Ross caused?" Nick's voice was full of Taunt and anger.
Nick knew that Thaddeus Ross was doing biological research, but Nick never expected that Thaddeus Ross, that idiot, would cause such a big problem!
Nick was intrigued by the terrifying power displayed by this completely out-of-control monster.
If this power could be controlled...
"What do you want the S.H.I.E.L.D. to do? Take down these two big guys?"
"That's the responsibility of the S.H.I.E.L.D.!" came the voice on the other end of the phone.
"Marjakov, the S.H.I.E.L.D. ' job isn't to clean up the mess left by your military," Nick snapped.
"I'll Sharing a copy of Thaddeus Ross's research data with you." The person on the other end said this and then hung up.
Nick smiled. That old guy is pretty smart.
But how do we deal with this thing? Goodness, it can even withstand missiles launched from helicopters; conventional weapons are definitely out of the question.
At that moment, the green cesium monster in the scene grabbed a missile that was being fired and bit off the signal trigger on top of the missile.
He then swiftly threw the missile at the attack helicopter.
The next moment, the screen shook, then turned into a snowflake.
Nick exclaimed, "I didn't expect this monster to have even a little Wisdom, though not much."
After thinking for a moment, Ling Yi picked up Bai Se's phone and dialed a number directly.
"I need to access Satellite surveillance, immediately."
