Smithsonian Museum, Washington, D. C.
Sam Wilson has recently taken to running around here in the mornings, and the museum here also has a section dedicated to Captain America and the Howling Commandos.
It's just that the information isn't as comprehensive as in New York. Ever since I bumped into Captain America at a museum in New York Wilson, perhaps out of a fan mentality, I've decided to go for Sam morning run here.
Just as dawn was breaking, Sam Wilson had finished his second lap around the museum when he saw two SUVs speeding past him on the road to his left.
Sam Wilson glanced over instinctively and caught a glimpse of Captain America's shield flashing across the partition above the trunk.
This isn't one of those square shields you see in museums; it's the same round Vibranium Shield the Captain is using now.
He didn't know if the piece in the car was Vibranium, but it was definitely the same as Captain America's shield.
The car turned a corner and entered the museum. Sam Wilson followed curiously, wanting to see if the museum had added any new exhibits about Captain America.
But as soon as they arrived at the entrance, they saw two burly men in combat uniforms carrying someone out of a car in the parking lot.
Although he was far away, Sam Wilson could still vaguely see the man's clothes and half of his profile.
It looks like it's Steve Rogers himself.
The shield, the clothes, and half a profile— Sam Wilson was almost certain that the person being carried off the vehicle was Captain America.
Sam Wilson quickly hid behind a tree by the roadside and took out his phone to take several photos inside.
The Captain was carried inside, and then another man in black wearing a combat vest was carried down.
Upon zooming in on the photo, I realized it was Hawkeye, the same Hawkeye who appeared in the recent battle in Wakanda.
Sam Wilson realized he had discovered something extraordinary.
Going in alone is definitely not appropriate. Should I call the police?
The idea was immediately nipped in the bud by Sam Wilson.
Does anyone know which government departments are involved?
The group carried the Captain and Hawkeye into a room in the museum, and came out empty-handed five or six minutes later, got into a car and drove away.
Sam Wilson glanced at the tall gate and the guards inside, then turned and walked towards the wall beside it.
The next morning, during his commute, Nick Fury still couldn't reach Hawkeye. He called Coulson and told him to drop everything and go find Qin Xiao to help him locate Hawkeye and Captain America.
He himself took the elevator to the World Security Council, which was located forty floors above his office.
Qin Xiao's system upgrade is finally complete, and the Level 3 Shop upgrade is finished.

The C-Class Combat Suit is an upgraded version of the D-Class Combat Suit. In addition to possessing all the functions of the D-Class Combat Suit, it adds 60% kinetic energy elimination, making it immune to all thermal weapon attacks below the strategic level.

1500 points.
C-Class Cold Weapon Customization: An upgraded version of the D-grade weapon, capable of easily breaking through high-grade alloys on Earth. It possesses sufficient toughness and resilience to contend with advanced materials of cosmic scale. The overall material is comprehensible to be slightly weaker than Vibranium, and it does not have the characteristic of ignoring kinetic energy.
1500 points.
Intermediate Spatial Storage Device: storage space of fifty Cosmic Cube, shape can be customized: such as rings, bracelets, watches, necklaces, etc.
P. S.: If you like, you can even turn it into a diaper, as long as you don't mind the things in your space being flooded with urine.
3000 points.
To unlock the Level 4 Shop, you need to accumulate a total of 50,000 points.
After the Level 3 Shop is opened, the permissions that only the user can use in the Tier 1 and Tier 2 stores are removed.
This is definitely a huge benefit, but the bad news is that Qin Xiao only has 4800 points. Let alone giving them away, Qin Xiao still can't afford even the awakened and advanced intermediate body of Asgard.
However, after Qin Xiao accidentally took out the Tesseract after the system upgrade...
"Highly condensed cosmic primordial energy has been detected near the host. The system can absorb it and convert it into a large amount of points. Absorb?"
The sudden notification startled Qin Xiao Qin Xiao, but the sound of absorption turning into a large number of points made him frown.
"You mean to absorb this Space Stone directly? This is one of the Six Infinity Stones, you just want to absorb it like that? Of course, if the system gives me a billion or eight billion points, I'll reluctantly agree."
Indeed, unless one can directly accumulate enough points to become invincible, or at least reach Skyfather Level like Odin or the Ancient One in their prime, it feels like a waste of time and resources.
"Host, you're spouting nonsense again. Ten billion or eight billion points, do you even know what that represents? When did this system say I could absorb the Infinity Stones? I was referring to the square energy Tesseract protective layer surrounding the Space Stone."
As Qin Xiao Qin Xiao expected, things weren't that easy, but he was still quite happy to have absorbed the outer protective layer, since this thing was generally not something an ordinary person could handle with their hands.
It couldn't fit into his own spatial storage device, which gave Qin Xiao a huge headache. Absorbing external things and turning them into a small gemstone would make it much easier to carry around, and Qin Xiao was more than happy about that.
Absorption confirmed!
As soon as the words left Qin Xiao's mind, he felt a powerful suction force erupt from his hands, and the outer layer of the Tesseract melted away like ice.
It transforms into a viscous, petroleum-like liquid energy, which is directly absorbed by the system through one's own body.
"Points increased by 2700!"
"What? System, you said a large number of points is only 2700? Are you kidding me? This is the Tesseract, it should be worth at least ten or twenty thousand points."
Although the outer shell of the Tesseract was a bit of a waste for Qin Xiao, it was still Tesseract after all. Qin Xiao felt he was losing out if he only got less than 3,000 points in exchange.
"This system will award points to the host based solely on the total amount of energy consumed. If the host is not satisfied, you may choose not to accept the points!"
"Yes, yes, yes! You're awesome!"
Qin Xiao reluctantly gave the system a thumbs up, and then, as if afraid the system would regret it, he directly exchanged his current 7500 points for an Intermediate Divine Body and Advanced Fighting Skills.
