In a deserted corner behind an office building in the heart of New York City, Ling Yi emerged from Teleport Gate.
He removed a tiny, inconspicuous black cesium shard, no bigger than a mung bean, from his shoulder, and raised an eyebrow with a wry smile, saying, "It really is impossible to guard against."
He casually tossed the little thing onto the ground.
He needs to find a real estate agency because he's unfamiliar with the area and buying a house here would be troublesome; it would be more convenient to use one.
Ling Yi needs to get everything sorted out before tonight, but most real estate agencies obviously can't do that.
The key point is that Ling Yi has very high standards. He doesn't like ordinary houses; he wants a villa. Villas are not only expensive, but the transaction procedures are also very complicated.
Most real estate agencies can't handle everything within a day.
Just as Ling Yi was wandering aimlessly down the street, a bright red sports car suddenly stopped beside him.
The car window rolled down, and Ling Yi warily looked at the Black Widow sitting in the car, greeting him.
"Hey, Ling Yi, I think I can help you."
Natasha was very direct; her words almost directly told Ling Yi Ling Yi she had investigated him and therefore knew what Ling Yi was doing.
Ling Yi thought for a moment, then simply opened the car door, got in, and fastened his seatbelt without saying a word.
Natasha chuckled, looking at Ling Yi's frustrated and helpless expression, and for some reason, she found it quite amusing.
Ling Yi wants to buy a villa, a high-end villa at that, and complete the formalities and move in tonight. This is something that might be difficult for others to do, but it's too easy for S.H.I.E.L.D..
Now that she knew Ling Yi's needs, everything was easy. Natasha didn't say much and drove Ling Yi directly to the front of a detached villa in the suburbs.
It's called a villa, but it's almost like a small estate.
There is an artificial lake in front and mountains and forests behind. The villa is surrounded by a large number of ornamental trees and has three floors in a European style.
The first floor includes a living room, kitchen, study, gym, and a game room with several retro game consoles.
The master bedroom on the second floor faces the artificial lake, there are three other bedrooms, and an enormous bathroom.
The villa's interior design is minimalist, primarily using black, white, and blue tones, creating Shang-Chi and futuristic feel.
"How does it feel? If you're not satisfied, I'll have another option."
The two stood on the balcony, gazing into the distance. Natasha could clearly sense that Ling Yi was very satisfied with the place.
Sure enough, Ling Yi looked at Natasha and asked, "How much?"
Natasha handed the file folder to Ling Yi. "These are the transfer documents. Once you sign them, they're yours."
"How much?" I asked again.
Seeing Ling Yi's somewhat indifferent gaze, Natasha frowned. It wasn't that easy after all.
After learning about Ling Yi, Nick Fury naturally hoped that Ling Yi could join S.H.I.E.L.D..
But Natasha didn't share that view. She was a very opinionated boy, and she could sense that Ling Yi was very wary of, and even hostile towards, S.H.I.E.L.D..
" S.H.I.E.L.D.. is not affiliated with any official organization; it is overseen by the World Security Council and is responsible for all unconventional events that threaten humanity worldwide."
" The World Security Council is full of people from the Ugly Nation!"
Ling Yi said calmly, "That's right. Those five members of the so-called World Security Council are all from that damn Ugly Nation. Nobody believes in their so-called justice."
Natasha shrugged. The reason was compelling, and she also understood that Ling Yi truly knew a lot about S.H.I.E.L.D..
"Well, it seems Nick Fury is going to be disappointed." Natasha shrugged.
"However, your hostility is too strong. I think there might be some misunderstanding, or perhaps some people in this country have had a very negative impact on you."
Ling Yi remained silent; discussing such matters was completely pointless.
There's no way there could be a misunderstanding; no one knows Serpent S.H.I.E.L.D.. better than him.
"Okay, thirty million, here's the account number!"
Seeing Ling Yi's attitude, Natasha immediately surrendered.
Then Ling Yi called the bank, and the transfer was completed quickly. Ling Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although doing so might not change S.H.I.E.L.D..'s attitude towards him, Ling Yi could use this method to express his own stance.
As for whether Serpent S.H.I.E.L.D.. would take action against him because of this, Ling Yi wasn't worried at all. If they dared to take action, Ling Yi would let them know what it meant to court death.
"Goodbye!" Ling Yi told Natasha to leave.
Natasha wanted to say something, but seeing Ling Yi's resolute and indifferent gaze, she swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue and turned to leave without saying a word.
Watching Natasha's fiery red car drive away, Ling Yi shook his head, sneered, and went straight into the e-sports room.
I checked the game currency; it takes 21,000 to 50,000 game coins to draw the next game.
Ling Yi selected the single-player matchmaking mode and entered the game.
After playing for more than a day, people are already very familiar with the game "PUBG".
Compared to other players, Ling Yi's advantages are too obvious.
His reaction speed alone was enough to completely overwhelm other players, after all, he was the only one in the entire game who could enter the e-sports room with his Transcendent physique.
Moreover, Ling Yi's gaming skills are already very strong.
After entering the game, Ling Yi immediately started the slaughter mode. The kill notifications in the lower left corner of the screen would appear almost every now and then. Almost every player who played the same game as Ling Yi Ling Yi remembered his game account.
But Ling Yi felt rather annoyed, because the game's drop rate was just too low.
Ling Yi had been grinding from noon until night, and all he got were three white cesium attribute fragments and six blue cesium fragments.
As for the fragments of supernatural power, there wasn't a single one.
Ling Yi, however, had amassed a considerable amount of game coins, enough to draw the next random game.
But after Ling Yi finally decided to wait a while before making a decision.
It's clearly inappropriate to suddenly add a new game after people have just become familiar with this battle royale game.
Today, as expected, there were far fewer Lottery announcements from players, only three announcements a day, and the rewards were significantly reduced.
Players have clearly noticed this, and although they are annoyed, it hasn't dampened their enthusiasm.
After all, this game really does offer various things that can change one's destiny, which is a chance for ordinary people to turn their lives around.
Even ordinary rewards are quite valuable; at the end of the day, as long as you can get a chicken dinner, it's considered a gain.
"Let's play one last game, then go eat."
Ling Yi was getting a little tired of playing. Ling Yi wasn't particularly addicted to games; in his previous life, he only played them for entertainment and never wasted too much time on them.
Given that today's harvest was really not great, Ling Yi lost the will to continue playing.
New Titan... Thanos left the e-sports room with a worried look on his face.
Purple Sweet Potato Spirit spent two days parachuting in the game. Although his performance was decent, with a considerable number of kills in each game, he never managed to win a chicken dinner.
Thanos doesn't plan to use the game currency for now; he intends to save up for at least 10 consecutive draws before opening the treasure chest.
In the game, failing to win is like losing a chance to Lottery, so Thanos feels a pang of pain every time he gets eliminated.
Thanos was helpless; he had never played games before, especially "low-level" games controlled with a keyboard and mouse.
After all, Thanos has the technology to create a virtual game without any problem.
Moreover, Thanos was a family planning official with lofty "life goals," so he wouldn't have wasted his time on games in the past.
In addition, he was really not used to this type of FPS game, which made Thanos play very awkwardly.
As for the others, needless to say, only Ebony Maw, one of his subordinates, received a mental Li Qiang from opening the chest, which was the best reward he could get. The others gained almost nothing.
While Thanos was frowning in worry, Tony on Earth was figuring out how to create a game cheat.
Because of the rules of esports rooms, no data cheats can be used, so Tony couldn't work on the game's source code. He changed his strategy and prepared to create Physics cheat.
Using JARVIS, he created a mechanical aid that greatly improves finger dexterity and allows for fine-tuning of movements, enabling mechanized gun control and improving shooting accuracy.
Unfortunately, Tony was warned by the game as soon as he entered the game.
"Player detected using illegal hardware device. First offense warning. Please disable it immediately, otherwise account will be banned."
Tony, looking annoyed, removed the glove-like device and tossed it aside.
"You're impressive, but I'll figure you out sooner or later."
Opening my friends list, I found that Ling Yi was offline, and Rhodey and Happy were two noobs who would die as soon as they landed. Playing with them was less worthwhile than playing solo.
So Tony went solo queue, and then tragically got smashed into a box by a player using a frying pan.
"Water Special!"
Tony, furious, immediately left the e-sports room.
He realized that this game was very unfriendly to him. Now he either had to wait for the great Ling Yi to guide him, or he had to crack this damn game himself.
But as a top-tier player, Ling Yi obviously couldn't possibly have time to mentor him every day; he was aware of that much.
"Since we can't keep bothering Ling Yi, then... JARVIS, find me a few top esports players, World Grade ones. You decide on the commission; whatever others offer, I'll pay ten times."
Online, news about PUBG has exploded.
Ling Yi's account has already made Facebook, and he is now a recognized e-sports god online. Of course, there are also brainless haters who say that Ling Yi must have used some kind of cheat, and as a result, he was attacked by others.
If some players really can cheat, then all other players will do is envy them. Instead of trying to find someone to help them, why would they criticize them? And what about fairness? Players who can cheat will definitely become strong players in the future.
Professional esports players have become highly sought-after, with their salaries rising again and again.
Some savvy esports players have even founded esports schools specifically to teach people how to play games, and have made a fortune in a short period of time.
Some schools have even hired esports experts as teachers to offer esports courses for their students.
Players' skill levels are rising rapidly, especially those on Earth.
Ironically, Earth's technology is among the lowest in the Marvel Universe.
Professional gamers are a unique phenomenon that only exists on Marvel Earth.
As a result, many people have set their sights on Earth, preparing to go there to steal some professional gamers. Thanos is one of them. However, because the Ancient One and Odin are still alive, Thanos does not dare to come directly, but he can use this opportunity to test Earth.
Meanwhile, some forces in the universe have also Light Lock on Earth.
People have realized that the emergence of battle royale games will inevitably change the landscape of the entire universe.
Whoever controls these professional gamers will have more say in the future.
Even Ling Yi probably didn't expect that professional gamers on Earth would become so sought-after.
Many Interstellar Hire, such as Star-Lord's Yondu Corps, are heading towards Earth.
This sounds ridiculous. Is it really that difficult to train a group of top esports players?
That's not the case. Someone is deliberately exaggerating the skill level of esports players on Earth, even offering extremely high prices for it...
