Neither Natasha nor Coulson dared to stop Ling Yi from leaving.
They already had a guess as to how Obadiah died; this invisible, intangible, and inescapable Power of Curses simply terrifying.
Without anyone even showing up, Iron Monger was already dead because of the power of the "curse." If Ling Yi wanted to deal with them, it would probably only be a matter of one curse.
Ling Yi returned to the hotel after 10 p. m.
With a thought, he opened the system repository.
The system repository contains a large number of miscellaneous items.
Room key card, bank card, some cash, several sets of clothes, cell phone, several boxes of chilled cola... and a pale purple Light Ball.
The next moment, a pale purple Light Ball appeared in Ling Yi's hand.
It feels a bit like a glass ball, but it's relatively softer and slightly smaller than a ping-pong ball.
A faint purple halo flowed within it, giving it a very mysterious appearance.
These are the 3 points of constitution Plunder from Obadiah. The system presents them in the form of this energy Light Ball, which is quite convenient.
After examining it for a moment, Ling Yi put the Light Ball directly into his mouth. The Light Ball turned into a warm current as soon as it entered his mouth. It had no taste, only a faint liquid texture.
Ling Yi could clearly Perception that his body felt much lighter, the obstacles had disappeared, and the pressure had decreased dramatically.
The attribute of constitution manifests as one's resistance, defense, endurance, and... vitality.
The stronger one's physique, the stronger one's vitality. This is a fundamental improvement, although it doesn't reach the level of a sudden sublimation, it still makes Ling Yi extremely happy.
And this is just the beginning...
Because the Iron Monger incident only occurred in Stark Industries ' underground laboratories, not many people know about it.
Obadiah's death did not attract much attention.
Tony is currently focused on researching Iron Man Armor, or flying around the world fighting terrorists. During this time, terrorists all over the world have suffered.
The terms "Iron Man" and "Iron Man" have gradually begun to appear online.
Tony makes no attempt to hide his actions; he even occasionally flies low over the city, which is captured in numerous photographs.
The Iron Man incident, with its online spread and extensive media coverage, eventually spiraled out of control.
Before Iron Man, apart from Captain America, there were no true heroes.
Iron Man's actions clearly align perfectly with the image of a hero in people's minds.
At a press conference, when a reporter asked about the relationship between Tony and Iron Man...
Tony finally uttered those words: "I am an American!"
As for Ling Yi, he has been busy with his own affairs during this time.
With Pepper's help, I bought a commercial building facing the street—not just one room, not just one apartment, but the whole building.
The building has 12 floors, with each floor measuring 800 square meters, for a total area of nearly 10,000 square meters and a value exceeding 200 million US dollars.
This was a gift from Tony to Ling Yi. Having a rich friend is definitely a great thing.
The first floor was decorated by Ling Yi into a general store, the top floor was where Ling Yi rested, and the other floors were completely idle. Ling Yi didn't know what to do with them, so they remained unused.
As for what to sell in the general store, Ling Yi looked at the thousands of Attribute Orb of various types in the storage warehouse and had some ideas in mind.
However, Ling Yi has not yet decided whether to do it or not, or rather, the timing is not right yet.
As for where these Attribute Orb came from, Ling Yi could only sigh: Hydra is a good source of leeks, one crop after another, they can hardly ever be harvested.
Tony's rescue and Obadiah's death meant that Hydra's investment in Obadiah was wasted, and their plan to Plunder Stark Industries was completely aborted.
Therefore, Hydra's hostility towards Ling Yi goes without saying.
During this period, Pierce orchestrated more than a dozen assassination attempts against Ling Yi, with at least a few dozen people involved and up to a hundred on the most recent attempt.
Without a doubt, all of these people failed, and their fates were dire.
Any Hydra came looking for trouble with Ling Yi were afflicted with level 1 or 2 bad luck. Keep in mind that once the system reaches level 3, level 1 and 2 bad luck become permanent.
In reality, Ling Yi never made a move; these people were forced to flee due to the various negative effects brought about by the Bad Luck Aura.
During this period, Pierce was in a real bind.
Any Hydra who is permanently Bad Luck Aura is practically useless.
Choking on food, choking on water, falling while walking, exploding while driving... Some Hydra couldn't even endure this "curse" and chose to end their own lives.
Having lost thousands of Hydra, Pierce finally dared not provoke Ling Yi again.
But things were far more complicated than Pierce had imagined.
Most of the Hydra Pierce used were actually operating under the guise of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..
With so many S.H.I.E.L.D.. agents cursed, and without Nick Fury's knowledge, how could Director Nick not be suspicious?
Nick finally discovered dissenting voices within S.H.I.E.L.D.. Although he didn't know what force had infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D.., it made Nick wary in advance.
The conflict between Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D.. is about to erupt.
Tony's palladium poisoning is getting worse, and Tony is becoming increasingly anxious.
A hammer just fell from the sky in Mexico, and the Thor storyline officially begins.
The curtain has slowly risen on Marvel...
Meanwhile, Ling Yi was shopping with Natasha.
After Coulson discovered that Ling Yi clearly had unusual feelings for Natasha, he reported this to Director Nick.
Director Nick promptly assigned Natasha to Ling Yi's side.
Since Ling Yi was planning to open a shop, Nick asked Natasha to come and help Ling Yi.
Of course, Ling Yi, Nick, and Natasha were all very clear about the details.
But Ling Yi did not refuse, Natasha naturally would not refuse Nick's order either.
However, during their time together, Natasha eventually discovered that Ling Yi, aside from his curse abilities, was just an inexperienced young man.
"There's a Turkish barbecue restaurant here, let's have that for lunch," Natasha said, pointing to a restaurant across the street.
Ling Yi wore a puzzled expression. Could this barbecue restaurant be the one that got all the superheroes giving it a bad review in Avengers: Age of Ultron?
You should know that there are very few Turkish barbecue restaurants in the entire Great Pretty City.
"What's wrong?" Natasha asked curiously, seeing Ling Yi's expression.
"It's nothing." Ling Yi also wanted to see what the barbecue restaurant, which was disliked by all the Avengers heroes, actually tasted like.
About half an hour later, Ling Yi and Natasha walked out of the barbecue restaurant with pained expressions.
"I swear, this is the worst thing I've ever eaten in my life; it can't even be called food," Natasha said with obvious disgust.
"I think we need to have a really good meal to make up for it, otherwise, I'm afraid I'll develop anorexia."
Ling Yi also wore a bitter expression. No wonder this shop was disliked by all the Avengers heroes; it was truly awful.
"What suggestions do you have?" Natasha asked, unable to resist laughing at Ling Yi's bitter expression.
"Let's eat hot pot."
I know about hot pot in Dragon Country, but I've never tried it.
"We'll go buy the ingredients, and we'll prepare the seasonings ourselves."
Are you sure?
"Never doubt a foodie's expertise in culinary arts," Ling Yi said in a very childish and chuunibyou-esque manner.
Natasha was amused by Ling Yi's little expression.
" Ling Yi, you should be wary of a secret agent."
Ling Yi seemed to trust her a lot, which Natasha saw as foolish and dangerous.
"A sense of vigilance?"
Suddenly, I found myself in the Marvel Universe, leaving behind my family, friends, and everything familiar.
Ling Yi often felt lonely in the quiet of the night.
The system could only provide Ling Yi with a sense of security, but it couldn't shield Ling Yi from his loneliness.
Ling Yi shook his head and chuckled, wondering how the other transmigrators adapted to the Marvel Universe so quickly.
"Roar!"
A Beast, beast-like Roar interrupted the two people who were studying the hot pot ingredients.
Both of them looked in the direction of the sound.
It was an ugly monster with spiky skin, spikes on its back, and a height of over two and a half meters.
" Hulk, come out and die! Hulk, Hulk!"
The monster smashed everything around it while Roar madly.
Do Abomination?
Ling Yi was surprised to encounter a plot involving the Hulk, and his eyes lit up.
The crowd in the street screamed and scattered in all directions.
Soon, only Ling Yi and Natasha remained on the street, standing in the middle of the road, looking quite conspicuous and out of place.
"Can you handle this? This guy looks really strong," Natasha asked.
"We should at least give it a try," Ling Yi said with a smile.
"I never expected there would be such a fearless little bug."
Upon seeing Ling Yi and Natasha, the Abomination, who had grown somewhat Bored with the vandalism, immediately became interested.
At the same time, a system notification sound also rang out.
"Ding, you have sensed the hostility of Abomination towards you. You have absorbed 3 points of Hostility Points."
"Ding! Successfully activated Level 3 Bad Luck. Target is now Abomination and will remain in a Level 3 Bad Luck state for 24 hours."
"Ding! Successfully Plunder 89 points of the target's constitution."
"Ding! Successfully Plunder 89 points of power from the unlucky target."
Ling Yi was overjoyed. He hadn't expected to not only activate level 3 bad luck, but also successfully complete two Plunder.
As the system's voice faded, Abomination visibly shriveled up, quickly returning to a normal human size.
But the Bad Luck Aura won't disappear just because your stats have been Plunder.
Still in a daze, Abomination was hit by an advertising board that inexplicably fell down.
From the shoulder down, the poor Abomination was nearly sliced in two.
Moreover, because the billboard is connected to a lightbox cable.
As the wire struck the Abomination, it also Entanglement itself around Abomination body.
In an instant, electricity crackled, and blinding sparks crackled across the Abomination's body.
Immediately afterwards, the Abomination's body, due to the electric current, became so hot that it burst into flames.
In just a few minutes, it turned into a pile of charcoal.
"That's terrible," Ling Yi couldn't help but sigh.
Natasha nodded involuntarily. It was indeed quite tragic, or rather, Ling Yi's Power of Curses was simply too domineering. Even such a terrifying monster couldn't withstand it at all; it was practically invincible.
However, the matter does not seem to be over.
A series of notification sounds rang in Ling Yi's mind. At the same time, the ground shook, and in the distance, a large, green creature leaped out of the pit and ran straight towards Ling Yi and his companions...
