Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Fifteen-year-old Mindy has grown increasingly beautiful and tall.
Ling Yi's fears about gaining weight and growing out of shape did not materialize.
It's really... Chloë Moretz, who played Mindy, has gone way too far as she's grown up.
At Midtown High School, Mindy stared at the incessantly chattering guy in front of her with a pained expression.
" Mindy, trust me, this barbecue restaurant is absolutely the best in all of New York City. It's all over Twitter."
"You should know that a business owner who can afford to spend so much money on advertising must have absolute confidence in their barbecue to do that."
"Last time was just an accident. I've inquired, and it turns out that the restaurant changed chefs. The chef is the soul of a restaurant."
"I refuse!" Mindy said, enunciating each word clearly.
" Peter, you should go and invite Gwen Stacy," Mindy added.
This Peter is none other than Spider-Man from the Marvel Universe, and not long ago, he was bitten by a spider and successfully mutated into A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality.
Peter blushed slightly upon hearing Mindy's words.
"You know, I tried, but I failed."
"You didn't even say a word." Mindy rolled her eyes.
Hali was there too!
"You'll always find some excuse, I'll never help you, and you even mentioned barbecue, you actually mentioned barbecue, buddy, barbecue is my most hated food, bar none."
"If you want to pursue the girl you like, you should take the initiative instead of resorting to underhanded methods."
"I'm worried about being rejected, that would be so embarrassing, and besides, as long as I don't ask, I'll always have a chance."
Mindy was utterly speechless. How could they even come up with such a reason?
"You've got it backwards. If you don't speak up, you'll never have a chance. Believe me, Gwen Stacy will soon be in Hali's arms and become Hali girlfriend, while you'll be crying in your bed."
Little Peter's face was contorted in distress, and he almost pleaded, "So, you have to help me. I'm going to treat you to barbecue."
"Don't mention barbecue again."
"Why?"
"I ate at that restaurant you mentioned three years ago, and I swear, it was absolutely the worst food in the world, bar none."
"Okay, so how can I bribe you to help me?"
"Goodbye!" Mindy picked up her schoolbag, turned around and left.
"What? There's still one class before school ends, are you skipping class again?"
Mindy gave him the middle finger, and when they reached the classroom door, they ran into Little Hali, the future Green Goblin II, Harry Osborn.
"Hi, Mindy!" Hali greeted her politely, then Peter to slip away from Mindy. Unlike Mindy, Hali was quite afraid of Mindy.
Hali had witnessed Mindy single-handedly defeat more than a dozen upperclassmen; her Combat was off the charts. Now, Mindy was an untouchable presence in the entire Midtown High School.
The principal's nephew once pursued Mindy using unconventional methods, and now all four of his limbs are broken, leaving him confined to bed or a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
Even so, Mindy was Wuyang, and the headmaster even came over to apologize to her Mindy, as if Mindy would burst into tears if she didn't forgive him.
Having grown up in high society, Hali knew very well what this meant.
Mindy grabbed Hali's shoulder and asked, "You seem afraid of me?"
"I swear, absolutely not," Hali said quickly.
"Hmph, here's a task for you: win over Gwen Stacy within three days."
"Walter?"
"Let Peter give up completely; I've heard that heartbroken people rarely speak."
Hali couldn't help but laugh and cry at the thought of Peter's sharp tongue.
"Perhaps you should try a different approach!"
For example?
"For example, beat him up?"
"Great idea!"
"I... I was just kidding."
"Then you have to win over Gwen Stacy within three days. It's a deal. If you can't, you should know the consequences."
Although Little Hali also likes Gwen Stacy, being forced into it is completely different from taking the initiative himself.
However, considering the consequences of offending Mindy... Little Hali decisively chose to agree.
After leaving school, Mindy quickly rode her motorcycle home.
Upon seeing Ling Yi sitting in the courtyard reading a book, Mindy immediately Leap and threw herself into Ling Yi's arms.
" Ling Yi, let's go on a trip."
Ling Yi grabbed Mindy by the collar and threw her away, saying speechlessly, "You skipped class again?"
Are you surprised that I skipped class? Or do you not want to see me come back? Or did I disturb your time with Natasha?
"I've said it so many times, Natasha and I are just friends."
Mindy has grown up; this is something Ling Yi has only recently come to realize.
Because Mindy learned to be jealous, and she became jealous of Natasha.
This left Ling Yi somewhat helpless; before he knew it, Mindy had reached the age for puppy love.
To Ling Yi's utter surprise, Mindy actually developed feelings for him.
He's forty years old!
This feeling is almost too much to bear.
What Ling Yi didn't realize was that although he was forty years old, his level brought about attribute evolution, making him look like he was only in his twenties. Both his appearance and physique were close to perfect.
Except for that dazzling bald head!
If he weren't a homebody at the highest level, who knows how many phone calls he'd receive if he went out for a stroll.
Fifteen-year-old Mindy is at the age when she is just beginning to experience romantic feelings, and in Mindy's heart, no one in the world Peter Ling Yi.
Moreover, Mindy would never be interested in ordinary people. Her evolution at the level of life itself means that Mindy naturally has no feelings for ordinary people.
"Hmph, that's what you think. I don't care. I want you to come on this trip with me, and it will just be the two of us."
Ling Yi was a bit overwhelmed. To be honest, he couldn't quite explain his feelings for Mindy.
As a 40-year-old homebody who has never been in a relationship, I simply cannot distinguish between romantic love and familial affection.
He had absolutely no idea how to handle his relationship with Mindy.
"If you don't want to go to school, that's fine. As for going on a trip, forget it. If you really want to go out and have fun, then Natasha can take you."
"You might as well just stay home forever," Mindy said, clearly annoyed. She knew Ling Yi was the kind of person who could stay home forever.
The idea of going on a trip was Mindy's way of wanting to spend some time alone with Ling Yi, but clearly, that was impossible.
Since arriving in the Marvel Universe, Ling Yi has hardly ever left, except for the initial defeat of Kingpin.
Outsiders will probably never understand the dedication of someone whose homebody Attribute Points are maxed out!
Just then, Nick suddenly appeared in the yard.
Upon seeing Ling Yi, he excitedly exclaimed, " The Tesseract is lost!"
"..."
"Wow, this is the best news I've heard in the last three years!" Mindy exclaimed happily.
If other time travelers saw Nick and Mindy like this, they would be completely bewildered.
The Tesseract is lost! Shouldn't we be angry and worried? What's with you two reacting so differently – one is excited, and the other is happy?
"It seems Loki is still sticking to his usual ways and causing trouble."
Ling Yi also breathed a sigh of relief.
"According to you, an alien army should be invading soon, and we can finally upgrade again."
Nick laughed.
Ling Yi felt that although Marvel's main storyline hadn't changed, these characters seemed to have all "gone astray."
In the past three years, almost nothing has happened on Ling Yi's side.
In the first year, Banner, Tony, and I often spent all our time in the virtual lab, never leaving.
Not only did they find a substitute metal, but they also mass-produced Magic Nanotech Bracelet and managed to create the Gene Battle Armor.
The key to Gene Battle Armor lies in the issues of gene engulfment and gene Fusion.
They've been stuck on this issue for almost three months—that's three months in the real world.
In the virtual laboratory, none of the three of them knew how long they had been working on it.
Even with Ling Yi and Banner's intelligence levels of 80+ and 30+ respectively, they could only figure it out little by little without any reference points.
The most difficult part is not how to achieve gene engulfment and Fusion, but how to identify beneficial genes and how to complete benign gene matching after engulfment.
Genes are the origin of life, the direction of evolution, and the upper limit of life levels.
The slightest mistake, and it collapses, turning into some strange, bizarre thing.
Gene Battle Armor, somewhat similar to the bio-armor in the Japanese anime " Bio Booster Armor ".
The focus of Gene Battle Armor is on adaptability, controllability, and Infinite Evolution.
If this cannot be done, it is meaningless.
Fortunately, both Banner and Tony are super geniuses.
What defines a super genius? It's not about how high their intelligence is, but rather the ingenious ideas and extraordinary thoughts that can turn ordinary things into gold in their minds.
With an intelligence score of 80+, Ling Yi can instantly make infinite deductions based on data support, arrive at the best result, and judge the feasibility of the theory.
In terms of creativity, Ling Yi is far inferior to Banner and Tony.
The three men Gathering genes from almost every living organism on Earth through Nick.
Continuously match, adjust, improve, reject, and then match again...
None of the three of them knew how many times they had repeated this process.
As a result... the Gene Battle Armor Generation 2 has now appeared, and every member of the team has one.
Now, the Magic Nanotech Bracelet and Gene Battle Armor have become standard equipment for the team members.
Over the past three years, Tony has also leveled up to level 9 by gaining experience points.
After all, Nick and his team haven't been idle for the past three years; in fact, they've been involved in far more and more complex matters than S.H.I.E.L.D.. in the movies...
In order to gain experience by finding various enemies, Nick and his crew did far too many things that were outside their area of expertise.
