Marvel: Starting with the Shadow Legion
Chapter 1: I just left a comment and transmigrated? The cheat code is late but it arrived.
"Boss... Boss... Boss, stop sleeping! Grandpa Xu is here!!!"
At this moment, in a noodle shop in New York Chinatown, a slender and graceful young girl was gently pushing Chen Tian, who was sleeping with his head on the cash register.
The latter opened his eyes impatiently, but... he was instantly dumbfounded!!!
"What the hell!"
"Where is this??"
"Who are you?"
"What kind of place is this??"
Chen Tian asked three questions in a row, causing the girl to roll her eyes. She said, "Boss, don't joke around like that. Grandpa Xu is here to eat noodles, and you're still sleeping..."
"I told you not to play games so late at night, but you wouldn't listen, and now..."
The girl's voice was chattering incessantly in his ears. The next second, Chen Tian felt a pain in his head, as if something that didn't belong to him had shot... ahem, been forced in.
When Chen Tian realized what had happened, he was speechless...
"Wait, is transmigration really this easy now? No need to jump off a cliff, jump into a river, or jump off a building? Didn't I just leave a comment in that guy's comment section about wanting to transmigrate? I just left a comment and ended up in Marvel?? Is the transmigration service this cheap now??"
"Can't it be more high-end?"
"Can't it be more luxurious?"
"Can't it be a bit more classy?"
That's right, Chen Tian was not from this world. Speaking of this... damn it, it's infuriating. I just left a comment in the comment section of the book "I Play the Heavens in Journey to the West" saying I wanted to transmigrate.
And the next second, I freaking transmigrated???
Transmigrating is one thing, but why come to Marvel? Is this a place for humans to stay??
All kinds of superpowers emerge one after another, all kinds of ghosts and gods are constantly battling, and there is also a lovesick man who makes the Universe tremble with fear... Thanos!
Dammit...
It is said that this jerk, in order to suck up to his Death Goddess, wiped out half of the Universe's life. But... the Marvel movies are different, so whether it's the movies or the comics... that's hard to say.
But regardless of which one it is, half of the life in the Universe will die. It's a fifty percent chance... who the hell can be sure they won't be in the half that dies??
But!
There's no help for it. Who told him to have itchy hands? Fortunately, I transmigrated into someone in Chinatownwith the same name. If it were anyone else... it would be really hard to handle.
First of all, Chen Tian doesn't speak English, he only knows the phrase "I love you to death". Secondly, I don't have an ID card for this world, so what should I do??
So, ending up in someone with the same name saves a lot of trouble. As for how this guy died... Heh, have you ever seen someone die suddenly from playing games for ten days and ten nights without sleep??
"Boss!!!"
The young girl saw Chen Tian sitting there like a meditating monk, and she was instantly infuriated... So... so after all that I said, with Grandpa Xu sitting on the stool waiting for so long, you didn't hear a single word I said!!!
"I know, I know... I played games too late last night, and my head is still foggy from just waking up." Chen Tian sighed helplessly.
This girl is named Chen Shuyi. Her parents came to the USA before she was born. Her parents have quite a bit of assets, but this girl has read too many novels and decided not to follow the beaten path, running to Chinatown to find a job herself...
As for Grandpa Xu... It is said that he was a veteran from back home, and eventually, for some reason, he didn't return and settled down in Chinatown.
"I say, Little Tian, playing games is fine, but don't stay up too late. Staying up late every day is bad for your health." Grandpa Xu looked at the two youngsters with a chuckle.
"I know, Grandpa Xu." Chen Tian smiled, then went to cook the noodles...
"Sigh... am I going to be like the others and suck up to the main character group? I don't have anything good. Don't they all say transmigrators have an essential cheat code? Where is my cheat code??"
"There isn't one! I'm going to report this to the Heavens Transmigrator Association. Bad review!!"
Chen Tian thought while cooking the noodles. Through the memories of his predecessor, he knew this was Marvel, because... that playboy Stark hadn't been kidnapped yet, and Thor hadn't appeared either.
It can be said that Marvel hasn't truly started yet.
But what can he do to improve himself?? It seems... there's no way...
Chen Tian only graduated from middle school. In terms of the language here, the most he can piece together is "Fuck you mother", what else is there? It's not even as much as "Yamete kudasai."
If he walks out of Chinatown, he's screwed. He might even run into some gangsters who would cut out his kidneys. This is a disastrous start!!
"Damn it, one step at a time. First, get the language down. Then go see if I can score some serum or something. Didn't the Hulk have a brother who almost killed him? Can I go??"
"Go your sister! That place... is heavily guarded!!"
"As for the others? Billionaire Stark won't even look at you. Thor... where is he?? Black Widow from S.H.I.E.L.D., Hawkeye..."
"Damn! Am I just going to wait for death? Wait for that fifty percent chance??"
Chen Tian felt like crying but had no tears...
Although he had watched Marvel a few times, how could it be so easy for an ordinary person to become strong? As the saying goes, the poor rely on mutation, and the rich rely on technology.
Look at Stark, his technology points are maxed out. The Captain's serum is basically a mutation, and the Hulk is also a mutation...
What can a Chinese person like him do???
[Ding--Heavens Lottery System bound to host!!]
"!!!" Chen Tian.
"I knew it, the cheat code is late but it arrived!!"
Chen Tian looked happy. He finished cooking the noodles, added the seasoning, meat sauce, and beef, and brought it to Grandpa Xu, smiling as he said, "Grandpa Xu, eat slowly. Little girl, you wash the dishes when you're done. I need to catch up on some sleep and will reopen tomorrow."
After saying that, he slipped away...
"..." Chen Shuyi.
"..." Grandpa Xu.
The two were instantly speechless. This boss... most likely had something going on in his game again and ran back to play.
"System, introduce yourself!" Chen Tian lay on the bed on the simple second floor of the kitchen, thinking to himself.
But... the System didn't even pay attention to him.
"It's okay, maybe the System is still booting up! Hmm... I'll wait a bit."
Ten minutes passed...
"..." Chen Tian.
What the fuck??? Garbage System! It's not even an artificial intelligence!!
There was no other way, Chen Tian had to figure it out himself.
Another half hour passed before Chen Tian finally understood this System.
The Heavens Lottery System, simply put, is for lucky draws. He can draw anything from the myriad worlds, it all depends on his luck.
There are six prize pools for the lottery. For example, the Knowledge category, where you can draw all kinds of knowledge, such as languages, combat mastery, or various technological knowledge. Also, things like formation arrays and artifact refining are all in the Knowledge category.
There is also the Ability category, such as various superpowers: lightning, space, time, magnetism, flight; these are all in the Ability category.
There are also Cultivation Techniques. This one is very simple; all kinds of cultivation techniques from the myriad worlds are included.
There is also the Servant category. Simply put, you draw servants. The Servant category is different from the others. You might draw some powerful cultivator or demon from a cultivation world to be your servant, or you might draw some beggar to be your servant. Of course, the most obvious ones are various legions.
Perhaps some people are confused, do legions count?? Of course, in this prize pool category, legions count. For example, if you draw a private legion, regardless of the size, let's say three thousand people, they are also servants. Once these legions are drawn, they count as servants. These servants will be ninety-nine percent loyal, and that loyalty will never drop.
The last two are: one is Magic Treasures, which is also self-explanatory, and the other is Items!
Chapter 2: Starting Off by Drawing the Ninja Shadow Corps, That Is a Villainous Laugh, Hey!
The 'Item' category contains a lot of things, for example, some special items, serums, super soldier genes, or even cultivation spirit stones, spirit veins, or things needed for various formations; it has them all.
Items might not be impressive, after all, compared to magical treasures... they are indeed too childish. Even the worst magical treasure is at the spirit tool level, and the strongest is the Great Dao Dao Tool...
That is why the Item category is indeed too childish.
But if Chen Tian draws a Formation Analysis, or Artifact Refining Analysis or something, the Item category could provide the things needed for formations, as well as artifact refining materials and so on.
Especially since this Heavens Lottery System is different from other novel systems that Chen Tian has seen.
They might make the host approach the protagonist group of this world, or witness some major event to get a lottery chance.
But this system... it could be called a total slacker!
Obtaining a lottery chance is very simple, once every day...
Once every day, can you believe it???
You don't need to do anything, just be a slacker every day, and you can get a lottery chance!!
"Hahahaha, I like this system!" Chen Tian laughed after understanding the system and thought to himself.
It's pretty good that the system isn't anthropomorphic. Chen Tian himself is a slacker; all day long, aside from work, he just sits at home picking his feet and shooting the breeze. Ask him to go out?
Wouldn't that be more painful than killing him???
"System! Start the lottery!"
Since there is a chance today, why not use it? Especially since now Marvel... oh no, the Avengers haven't truly begun yet, and it's at least a few years until Thanos arrives.
Let's not say too much, for example, five years. One year has three hundred and sixty-five days, five years is one thousand eight hundred and twenty-five days, over one thousand eight hundred lottery chances...
Even if one is unlucky, they should be able to draw something good, right?
It's best if it's from Cultivation Techniques, Magical Treasures, or Items. Even if I just draw the Captain serum from the Item category, that's a win, right??
[Drawing...]
At this moment, something like a virtual projection suddenly appeared a few meters in front of Chen Tian.
A huge turntable appeared in the projection, divided into six areas, and as the system finished speaking, the turntable spun...
"Item! Item!! At the very least, give me a serum!!" Chen Tianroared in his heart. This is just like gambling...
But this is far more addictive than gambling, right??
Those things, even if an ordinary person gets just one or two, it's enough to show off for a lifetime!
As the turntable gradually slowed down, the pointer... pointed to Servant...
"No! No! Spin again!! Spin again!!" Chen Tian was anxious...
Servant...
What's the use of a Servant now!!
What he needs most right now is his own strength, not a faction!!
[Ding—Congratulations to the host for drawing the Servant category, obtaining the Ninja Shadow Corps(Perfect Edition)]
[Ding—Does the host wish to use it??]
"???" Chen Tian.
(⊙o⊙) Wow?!!!
What kind of god-tier luck is this??
Is this the turnaround after being unlucky??
System!!
I love you!!
At this moment, Chen Tian laughed like an idiot, squatting on the bed with one hand supporting his face. Under his large hand, his mouth was stretched to his ears, his expression gradually twisted, his heart gradually became evil, and from time to time, he let out a weird "Jie Jie Jie" laugh...
This is the mandatory laughter that only a villain has, hey!!!
But you can't blame him, the Shadow Legion...
This is a bug in jackie chan adventures!
They have Immortality; even if they die, they will immediately revive, and they are boundless, truly countless.
However, there is a flaw: once you put on a Shadow mask, it's like being possessed. Even if you don't use a mask and use a sticker instead, your heart will be swallowed by darkness...
Just look at the Dark Queen Cheng Xiaoyu, you'll know, the queen of the Shadow Empire!!
"Examine Shadow Legion!" After laughing, Chen Tianwiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and thought.
[Ding—Ninja Shadow Corps: A Ninja legion from the Shadow Empire in the Dark Dimension of another world, they have Immortality and are endless.]
[Ding—Note: The Perfect Edition Ninja Shadow Corps, after use, will sign a master-servant contract with the host. After being modified by the system, they will not affect the host, the host will not be swallowed by dark energy, and they will be loyal to the host forever.]
[Ding—Also, the Shadow Legion requires the host to draw to unlock. The Ninja Shadow Corps has one thousand members; after drawing the second Shadow Legion, the Ninja Shadow Corps will be completely unlocked, and so on. After the host controls all Shadow Legions, they can unlock the Shadow Empire, and the host will be the Emperor of the Shadow Empire!]
[Ding—Special Note: Because the Shadow Legion comes from the Shadow Empire, after the host uses the Shadow Legion, dark energy will baptize the host's body, making the host's body stronger and stronger. This effect depends on the host's control over the Shadow Empire.]
After reading the introduction of the Ninja Shadow Corps, Chen Tian nodded.
As long as he won't be affected by the dark energy, that's fine. Although there are only one thousand Ninja Shadow Corps members at the start, that's still a lot, okay.
And... the Shadow Legion can lead to the Shadow Empire...
Although he hasn't unlocked it, can't the Shadow Legionjust take him there? Just like with Tohru.
As long as Thanos comes, before he arrives, I'll just go to the Shadow Empire. It's not in the Marvel World, so how can you kill me? I ask you, how can you kill me!!
Especially, this summoning of the Shadow Legion, that dark energy from the Shadow Empire will baptize his body. Although it definitely won't be that obvious at the beginning, the more Shadow Legions he controls, the stronger he will become!!
Maybe by then, I'll even be able to fight Thanos...
Or... be more confident, one punch to kill Thanos!!
"Ninja... I remember this guy is the dark power that Shendu extracted from his mask, right? And what he controls is the most primitive Ninja legion." Chen Tian touched his chin and thought: "System, use!!"
"Hum...!!!"
When Chen Tian finished speaking, the very next moment, he just felt a connection in his mind. This feeling was indescribable, very wonderful.
But he could feel one thousand people sharing the same thought...
That is respect, worship, admiration...
"Shadow Legion."
"Swish, swish, swish...!!!"
Just as Chen Tian opened his eyes and finished speaking, the next moment, countless blood-red eyes appeared on the entire renovated second floor!
And in an instant, they emerged from the darkness. Their attire was that of the Japanese, and they appeared before Chen Tian in various poses.
The next moment, many Ninja soldiers knelt on one knee towards Chen Tian, lowering their heads.
"Hmm, not bad." Chen Tian smiled as he looked at so many servants, and he felt a special power appear in his abdomen, then flow to various parts of his body...
"Is this the baptism of dark energy?" Chen Tian smiled, looked at the Shadow Legion and said: "You guys retreat first, I will call you out when I have orders."
After speaking, the Shadow Legion instantly merged into the darkness...
Chapter 3: Bickering Couple, Drawing the Lightning Ability
Chen Tian came downstairs and saw that girl Chen Shuyistanding in the kitchen, cooking noodles. The condiments were all prepared, and there were still a few customers in the noodle shop eating.
"Didn't I say you didn't have to work today..."
Chen Tian gave a bitter smile. Damn it... this girl just doesn't know when to quit. Who doesn't want to be a slacker? The boss personally gave you the day off, and you still insist on working? Isn't that just foolish?
"Brother Tian... if I don't work, where will I get money for food..." Chen Shuyi replied, her face full of sorrow...
Are you being too much of a slacker??? Most people wish for more customers to make more money, but you...
"Fine, fine." Chen Tian sighed helplessly, then sat at the cash register to play on the computer.
His predecessor had immigrated here with his parents to run a business, but his parents met their end three years ago in an accident. His predecessor stopped or sold off those businesses and bought this storefront instead.
As for his assets, there were still over 200,000 U.S. dollars left, which is why his predecessor was such a slacker...
"Hey, that playboy went missing???"
"Yeah, missing for a long time. That woman has bought up all the airtime, broadcasting for who knows how many days."
"Has it been a month or two???"
"Who cares? It's none of our business if he's missing."
"But that money is a lot... 50 million. How awesome would it be if we got that???"
"What are you thinking? Even if you found Stark, you probably wouldn't get that much. Plus... they said it was in the Saku Saku Desert. Even if you have the life to go, you might not have the life to come back."
"True. I heard our boss say a friend of his went to do business near there a while ago. And the result??? He was kidnapped directly. He had to pay hundreds of thousands to ransom him. When he finally came back, his limbs were broken. He looked absolutely miserable..."
"Damn, if you put it that way, isn't that guy dead for sure???"
At this moment, the conversation of the customers eating in the noodle shop caught Chen Tian's attention. They were all looking at the large TV in the shop, and Chen Tianlooked over too.
"Today's report: Prominent chairman Mr. Tony Stark has gone missing in the Saku Saku Desert. Ms. Virginia Pepper Potts has issued a bounty. If you find Mr. Tony Stark and bring him back safely, you will receive 50 million U.S. dollars..."
At this moment, the noodle shop's TV was broadcasting the day's events. Although it was in a foreign language, fortunately, the one Chen Tian bought had Chinese subtitles...
"Heh... damn, I just transmigrated and you get kidnapped? If I hadn't transmigrated, would you have been able to live freely for a while longer???" Chen Tian thought speechlessly.
Damn... Isn't this too coincidental? How long have we been transmigrated??? It hasn't even been an hour, and you're already kidnapped???
"That guy was right. It's none of our business. He won't die in the end anyway."
After taking a look, Chen Tian continued playing his game. He wasn't short on money right now; with over 200,000 U.S. dollars, how much could a slacker spend in a day? No need to panic. If he runs out of money, he can just have the Shadow Legion take care of it, right??? After all, Chen Tianwas just a slacker; he wouldn't spend much money, and it wasn't like he needed a huge sum all at once. What was there to be afraid of???
"50 million... think of how many beautiful clothes, cosmetics, and bags I could buy..."
Chen Shuyi served the noodles to the customer while watching the news on TV, her eyes full of shock. She began counting on her fingers: "Lancôme, Dior, Estée Lauder, Chanel, Shiseido, LV, Motorcycle Bag..."
Chen Tian just put his head in his hands... Do women only care about these things??? Can't they focus on, you know, other things???
"Alright, alright, you're actually counting..."
"It's not like you got the 50 million. Can you not show your infatuated look? And... you're drooling..."
Chen Shuyi touched the corner of her mouth upon hearing this. There wasn't anything... Then her face turned bright red, and she glared at Chen Tian, saying: "Brother Tian!! Can't I even daydream about it?"
"Daydreaming is fine. You can go sleep now; it's daytime anyway."
"..." Chen Shuyi. Hearing Chen Tian's words, she silently walked to the kitchen and picked up a rolling pin... "Die, you bastard!!"
Chen Tian was startled and ran upstairs without hesitation, shouting: "Hey, hey, hey! Big sister, that thing hurts like hell, you know? Don't mess around!! You're murdering your husband!!"
"Husband your sister! Today, either you die or I die!! Let's go to war, you evil capitalist!!"
"What the hell... when did I become an evil capitalist? I offered you a day off and you refused, okay!!"
A few customers laughed out loud at the scene. They frequented this noodle shop often, and the boss, Chen Tian, often bickered with the waitress. It was always noisy and chaotic; the two of them were just a bickering couple.
Soon, the next day arrived.
"A beautiful day begins. Today is another day full of energy. A day as beautiful as this naturally starts with a lucky draw."
"System! Lucky draw!!" Having just woken up, Chen Tiandidn't hesitate to start the draw.
[Drawing...]
As a voice sounded, the wheel appeared before Chen Tianagain, and then it began to spin...
"Come on! I'll trade ten years of Chen Shuyi's irregular periods for an awesome magical artifact, or at the very least, a Super Gene from the Super Seminary!!" As the wheel spun and the indicator rotated, Chen Tian shouted in his heart.
[Ding -- Congratulations to the Host for drawing an Ability type, obtaining the Lightning Ability!!]
[Ding -- Does the Host wish to use it??]
"Lightning Ability?" Chen Tian was stunned, then opened the introduction interface for the Lightning Ability.
[Lightning Ability: After use, you will gain the ability to wield lightning. The initial level is Lv1, and as proficiency increases, the Lightning Ability will strengthen accordingly. (Note: The ability goes up to level ten, and reaching level ten attains the level of Law.)]
"Holy crap!!" Chen Tian was shocked. Damn... it can reach the level of Law?? That means... the Three Thousand Great Daos of Law from those novels??? Is it that overpowered??? And... this thing doesn't require any so-called cultivation; you just need to keep grinding for proficiency. It's worth it!!
"Sigh... it looks like that girl Chen Shuyi is in for ten years of misery." Chen Tian sighed, but... it doesn't matter!! Girl!! You just go ahead and walk boldly forward!! As long as I'm awesome, that's all that matters!!
"Use!!"
"Zzzzt...!!" As soon as Chen Tian uttered the word "use," instantly!! Chen Tian felt as if his whole body was being swept by a special force!! This force surged through every part of his body, and finally, it all flowed toward the center of his brow...
"This feeling... is really good..." Chen Tian felt his own body and looked at himself. It seemed like wisps of white electric light were on the surface of his skin, but they quickly merged into his body and disappeared.
[Ding --]
[Host: Chen Tian.]
[Knowledge: None.]
[Techniques: None]
[Abilities: Lightning Ability Lv1 (0/100).]
[Servants: Ninja Shadow Corps.]
[Artifacts: None.]
[Items: None.]
The next moment, his personal interface appeared before Chen Tian's eyes. This interface was based on the six types of lucky draws. As for the cultivation levels in those novels... sorry, there weren't any!!
Chapter 4: Kill One Hundred People to Level Up First, the Most Base and Filthy Scum
After all... Chen Tian, this thing cannot be defined by cultivation level.
Take the Lightning Ability, for example.
Even if Chen Tian is just a mortal right now, as long as he maxes out his proficiency, he can master the Laws of Thunder!
This is absolutely not something that can be determined by cultivation level.
Therefore, this interface completely excludes cultivation level. If comparing by ability, then a Level 5 Lightning Ability could arguably be called the strongest on the surface of the earth, though that is not certain...
Because this... Level 1 proficiency is one hundred. According to Chen Tian's understanding of these things, Level 2 must be one thousand, Level 3 ten thousand, Level 4 one hundred thousand, Level 5 one million...
So, the "strongest on the surface of the earth"... that is not certain either.
"Zzz..."
At this moment, a White light appeared in Chen Tian's hand, flickering as if... oh no, it actually had lightning lingering within it!!
"But... how do I grind this proficiency?"
Chen Tian touched the White light in his palm and spoke blankly.
After using this Lightning Ability, it felt just like his own arm, easy to use. As for the power of the Level 1 Lightning Ability... Chen Tian didn't have a rough idea, since he had just obtained it.
[Ding-- Killing living beings can increase proficiency points. Killing one life equals one proficiency point. Because there is origin within life, while killing, the Lightning Ability can absorb the origin to strengthen the host's body and enhance the power of the Lightning Ability.]
"So that's how it is. Killing life—do ants count too??"
[Ding-- Life is measured in human units. Ants can increase proficiency by 0.01.]
"Good grief, you might as well just slap the label'serial killer' on my head, right??" Chen Tian was speechless.
Damn it...
Kill people directly??
He had never done this kind of thing before. He had followed people in his village to kill chickens and pigs, but people...
Although he was not in Chen Tian's original world now, killing people still gave him a bit of a psychological barrier.
Chen Tian shook his head and said: "Forget it, forget it. Anyway, it's killing with the Lightning Ability. What does it have to do with me if they are electrocuted to death?"
Listen!
Everyone, listen to this!!
Is this even human language??
Electrocuted to death?
Isn't the electricity controlled by you??
Aren't you still the one killing them??
"Besides, there are so many black guys here in the USA; if I kill them all, wouldn't I reach Level 4 directly??"
"Right... if it's calculated by human units, then wouldn't those who surpass the human body help me grind proficiency even faster??"
Suddenly, Chen Tian remembered that in the Marvel World, there are all kinds of Mutants, and they all surpass the human body, right? Although many Mutants are trash, that doesn't stop them from having abilities.
If I kill these people, how much proficiency would I gain??
"Forget it, forget it. Let's not think about that for now. First, I need to upgrade to Level 2. Level 2 requires one hundred people..."
"Stark has been kidnapped. The mercenaries who kidnapped him should have at least one hundred people, right? Saving him and extorting a few hundred million along the way—as the chairman of Stark Industries, is ten billion too much to ask??"
"Didn't that girl Chen Shuyi say yesterday that she wanted bags, clothes, and cosmetics? Ten billion greenbacks should be enough for you to buy them, right??"
As he spoke, Chen Tian laughed...
Look at that; he remembered what she said yesterday until now. This guy is definitely lusting after her!!
Chen Tian: "Bullshit! I'm just letting her feel the boss's care!!"
...
At this moment, deep in the great desert of the USA, there was a fortress filled with various weapons, missiles, and so on.
Inside that steel-constructed cave.
In the large cave in the deepest part of the mountain, the lights were bright. Imprisoned here were the richest playboy in New York, Tony Stark, and a scientist specializing in launch mechanics and electronics, Yinsen.
Tony Stark was wearing a crudely made, tattered tight-fitting suit, with anti-slip gloves on his hands. His eyes were firm and full of courage, and his voice was exceptionally low: "Yinsen, we must speed up."
Stark was standing in front of Mark I, spreading his arms and letting Yinsen assemble the armor for him.
Last night, Raza had used tongs to hold red-hot coals and placed them in front of the mouth of Yinsen, who was pressed onto an anvil, forcing them to speed up their work progress and demanding they finish the assembly tonight.
To prevent Yinsen from suffering desperate torture, Starkwas forced to agree to this request.
The originally loose schedule suddenly became tight.
This was also his last chance to escape from here. If he missed tonight, he would definitely be tortured to death by this group of angry robbers.
Because he hadn't assembled the missile at all.
Yinsen's expression was slightly flustered: "Okay, let's confirm again. 41 steps straight ahead, turn right at the door for 16 steps..."
(Hungarian) "Knock, knock, knock! Open the door! Open the door!"
Stark's eyelids twitched slightly as he maintained surface calm: "Yinsen, just reply to him with something to stall for time."
The latter, Yinsen, turned slightly pale, and his hands, which were putting the armor on him, began to tremble. He said speechlessly: "Damn it, I don't speak Hungarian!"
Stark exhaled to control his emotions and smiled: "It's fine, the detonator bomb must understand Hungarian."
Stark was also very panicked inside, but he could still rely on his strong psychological fortitude to stabilize the situation.
Even though he didn't know if his head would still be intact in three minutes.
At the doorway, there was a detonator bomb that Starkand Yinsen had worked together to create.
As soon as the door was pushed open, the bomb would detonate, easily taking the lives of anyone nearby!!
But just at this moment! A sudden change occurred!!
(Hungarian) "No! Help! Help! Knock, knock, knock!"
(Hungarian) "Ahhh! Demon!"
...
Countless screams rang out from outside the door, and after a while... there was no more sound.
"What is... what happened? Could it be that they want to use this to make us go out?" Yinsen was confused, but it was clear that Stark was the backbone now.
"No need..."
"Clap, clap, clap..."
Before Stark could finish speaking, the sound of clapping suddenly came from behind them. The two turned to look...
They saw an oriental man in his twenties sitting on a chair. Behind him were a group of masked warriors with scarlet eyes and gray bodies... oh no!
These looked like ninjas from the Wa Islands.
"Hey brother, who are you? We aren't taking guests here anymore; we're closed." Stark looked at the person in front of him and teased, but he was panicking like crazy inside...
He didn't even know when this person had appeared, especially since... this place only had one exit, which was the big door in front of him!
Where did he come in from???
However, the person did not answer. He walked up to Mark I and knocked on it, causing it to emit a heavy metallic sound.
Only then did he speak: "Not bad, not bad. As expected of a genius. To be able to build such armor in this kind of environment."
"You... who are you? Are you Japanese..." Yinsen asked, a little afraid.
"Click..."
But before Yinsen could finish, a ninja suddenly emerged from the ground, grabbed him by the throat, and lifted him up...
Seeing this, Stark immediately yelled: "Stop, stop, stop!! You can't do this, he didn't offend you..."
"Everything was fine... why do you have to insult people?"
But the next moment, the man continued to sit on the chair, his eyes indifferent, like a Celestial judging mortals...
At this moment, Stark seemed to remember a saying from the East, that if they are Japanese, it means they are the most base and vile scum in the world...
Chapter 5: It Literally Blew Up! Lightning Ability Upgrade
"I am from the Rabbit nation."
At this moment, the man looked at Yinsen, whose face was flushed red, and then turned to Stark, saying, "Do you speak Chinese?"
(In Chinese) "I... I speak a little..." Stark stammered.
As a big boss, and considering that in Iron Man 1, people from that side attended Stark's parties, it was perfectly normal for him to know a little Chinese.
"Plop..."
The next moment, the ninja released Yinsen, and Chen Tian spoke, "Now, I would like to ask the famous Mr. Tony Stark, how much... is your life worth?"
"My... my life?? What?? Sir, who sent you to kill me? I can pay double! Triple! Even ten times!" Stark immediately blurted out. Damn it... I knew there was a conspiracy behind this!
Being attacked out of the blue, now relying on that iron thing in my chest to stay alive, and being threatened to develop weapons—which bastard wants to kill me, the handsome Chairman of Stark Industries??
"No, no, no. I wasn't sent by anyone. I saw the news, and your good secretary put out a bounty to save you—fifty million greenbacks. However... I think you're worth more, aren't you?"
"Hahahaha, that's for sure, sir!"
After hearing Chen Tian's words, Stark laughed and said, "Sir, since you were able to come and save me, I will definitely pay the fifty million, but for saving me, I will pay ten times that amount!!"
Five hundred million greenbacks. That's enough to live very lavishly anywhere, partying with models every day without ever repeating the same one.
However, Chen Tian shook his head and said, "Double it again."
Stark nodded immediately upon hearing this, "Fine!!"
He had plenty of money; he didn't care about money!!
Even that little brother surnamed Ma in the East is trash!!
What "not caring about money"? What "never touched money"? What "no interest in money"? He is the real deal; he is the most awesome entrepreneur, the strongest genius.
It's only one billion. If he lost this billion, he was confident he could earn it back tenfold, or even a hundredfold.
"Alright, let's get out of here first. It's filthy and foul here."
After Chen Tian finished speaking, two Shadow Soldierscarried his chair and merged into the darkness. The next moment, two Shadow Soldiers appeared beside Stark and Yinsen, supporting them as they merged into the ground...
"Oh my god, is... is this magic??"
"Fuck! Such a powerful mage came to save me. Potts, you are my Angel!!"
The two foreigners were making a fuss. When their mouths merged into the ground, they thought they would drown, but that wasn't the case; they could breathe normally.
As for entering the ground, it was pitch black, and they couldn't see anything at all...
Soon, they emerged from a wall. The moment the sunlight hit them, Stark and Yinsen felt as if they had come back to life.
But when they saw the scene before them clearly, they were completely dumbfounded.
The people who had kidnapped them were now lying on the ground, wailing with their tendons cut. Counting carefully... there were about two hundred of them.
"Fuck! What is going on?" The two were dumbfounded, but they felt no sympathy, because these people... honestly, they deserved it!!
They definitely had more than one life on their hands!!
"Zzzzz..."
Just at this moment, the two heard the sound of electricity, and then they saw... they were completely stunned!!
The person who saved them now had a bolt of lightning in his palm...
Fuck!!
Mutant!!
This guy is not just a mage, but also a Mutant!!!
"Boom...!!!"
The next moment, Chen Tian pointed at the hundred people in front of him, leaving a few dozen behind.
In an instant!
Lightning flashed!!
One hundred mercenaries were covered by lightning in an instant, and they were already wailing endlessly...
"Boom boom boom...!!!"
But soon, the wailing stopped, and it could be seen that those one hundred people had blown up!!
That's right, their bodies were like bombs, literally blown to pieces, with flesh and blood flying everywhere!!
Numerous Shadow Soldiers instantly shielded Chen Tian, but Stark and Yinsen were not so lucky; they were covered in the exploded bits of flesh and blood...
"Fu... fuck! Ugh..."
"Oh my god... God... ugh... fuck! This... this is a finger! I don't just have blood in my mouth, I have a finger!!"
"That's nothing! What is this? This is... this actually exploded into my mouth!!"
The two vomited for a while; their bodies were covered in rotting flesh, and some had even exploded directly into their mouths...
Not just them, but the few dozen survivors were scared out of their wits, and they also had bits of flesh on them.
However, compared to them, Chen Tian was completely clean.
"Damn... is it that powerful? It's so disgusting..." Chen Tianwanted to vomit too. Damn... I thought Level 1 Lightning Ability would at most electrocute people.
I didn't expect... I really didn't expect...
It blew people up directly!!
Especially since Chen Tian was feeling a bit dizzy now, like carsickness. Fortunately, Chen Tian was sitting in a chair, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to stand.
"Does Lightning Ability consume mental energy?"
[Ding -- Slain living being, Lightning Ability proficiency +1.]
[Ding -- Slain living being, Lightning Ability proficiency +1.]
[Ding -- Lightning Ability upgraded to Lv2.]
"Whoosh...!!!"
But just as Chen Tian was in a daze, a powerful force swept through his body again, not only making Chen Tianfeel much better mentally, but even making the lightning more powerful!!
"Not bad, not bad. It seems next time I should try to draw mental-type items, or things that improve the body in all aspects, otherwise I won't be able to handle it..." Chen Tiansmiled, then looked at Stark, who was vomiting while cleaning the flesh bits off himself.
Chen Tian stroked his chin, looked at the few dozen survivors in front of him, and remembered something: "Stark, do you want to know who kidnapped you?"
Stark had vomited until bile came out, but after a while, he felt better and stood up: "Yes, of course I do. I want to make this guy pay the most painful price in this world!!"
A Shadow Soldier stood up, instantly understanding his Master's intention, and grabbed one person from among the dozens.
This person was named Raza, the leader of these people.
"This guy was caught by my men from their base camp. Perhaps he knows."
Hearing this, Raza hurriedly raised his head and begged for mercy: "I'll talk, I'll talk! It was Obadiah! He paid us to kill you. Tony!! We didn't kill you, we only kidnapped you. Please, spare me, spare my men!!"
Stark's face was full of anger and disbelief: "Impossible, it can't be him!?"
Chen Tian took a look, and then a Shadow Soldier thoughtfully took out a camera confiscated from Raza and played one of the clips, which contained the record of the arms deal between Obadiah and Raza.
Stark's expression froze, his eyes slightly unfocused, as if his entire spirit had been broken, and he stood there blankly.
Obadiah, this elder who was like an uncle and a father to him, the elder who had supported him for half his life, was actually the murderer who wanted to kill him.
"Can't bring yourself to do it? How about I kill him for you? It's not expensive, fifty million greenbacks. How about it??"
Chapter 6: Back to Chinatown, this... this can even be drawn?
"Can't bring yourself to do it? How about I kill him for you? It's not expensive, fifty million greenbacks. How about that?"
At this moment, Chen Tian offered helpfully.
Stark was speechless upon hearing this. Not expensive?
Fifty million isn't expensive?
Brother, I'm your client now, can't you give me some kind of discount? How about a hundred thousand?
My life is naturally valuable, but him? Damn it... he was trying to kill me, so he's not worth a damn thing!
"No need, sir... I'd better handle this myself." Stark shook his head, his eyes incomparably firm!
Since he knew about this, especially since this guy wanted to kill him, then sorry, you have to die...
"Fine, fine. These scumbags won't live much longer. Leaving the stuff here will only harm others, might as well just flatten the place." Chen Tian shrugged helplessly, then raised one hand...
"Rumble...!!!"
In an instant!
Countless bolts of lightning gathered in Chen Tian's palm, the terrifying power causing the very space to distort...
"Fuck!! Are you trying to kill us both too!!"
"No, don't..."
Stark and Yinsen were scared out of their wits again. Damn it... what the hell... what the hell is going on, Big Brother! We aren't your enemies! We are your customers!!!
Don't they always say the customer is God??
Is this how you treat your God? Just slapping them in the face?
That monstrous power made their skin feel the scorching heat and the sensation of electricity. If it were unleashed...
Holy shit!!!
"Boom...!!!"
In an instant, that monstrous power surged toward the dozens of survivors in front...
"So noisy..." Chen Tian rolled his eyes.
Then, the Shadow Soldiers instantly took Chen Tianunderground, while four other Shadow Soldiers took them and merged into the ground as well.
Just after they left, the monstrous power exploded instantly. Those dozens of survivors were like vaporized, suffering no pain at all, simply annihilated.
Besides them, all the weapons and equipment here were completely destroyed!!
...
Chinatown, inside the noodle shop.
Chen Tian, Stark, and Yinsen appeared here, and the Shadow Soldiers went to make lunch for Chen Tian.
Have to say, the Shadow Legion is truly great. They can do everything; no wonder some people call them the Nanny Legion.
"Want to eat?" Chen Tian chuckled.
He had told that girl Chen Shuyi yesterday that he wouldn't be opening the shop today and asked her not to come, so the noodle shop wasn't open today.
"Hey sir, I think we should go eat with me. I know a restaurant where the food is really spot on." Stark said with a smile, sitting on a stool.
As for why he said to go eat elsewhere...
Just kidding, the magic user and Mutant in front of him had just casually killed over a hundred people. Stark was terrified that if he accidentally provoked this guy, he wouldn't even know how he died.
So, it was better to leave first.
As for the money, that naturally had to be paid. He'd just let him give an account number, and then Pepper could wire it.
The most important point was this thing in his chest; there was still shrapnel inside that needed to be removed, right?
"Alright, I saved you, I didn't kidnap you."
Chen Tian understood Stark's thoughts and smiled, saying, "Just walk out yourself, the rolling door isn't locked. Also, I'll give you a phone so your broken body doesn't have to walk back to Stark Tower. Besides..."
As he spoke, a Shadow Soldier immediately took out a slip of paper, and then Chen Tian continued, "This is my account number. Wire it within ten days."
"That's naturally no problem. We'll be heading off now. Also, this is my private number. Sir, if you need anything, feel free to call me." Stark took the paper, then stood up and said with a smile.
As for Yinsen...
He naturally had nothing to say.
According to the original plot, he was supposed to have died.
When Stark and Yinsen pulled open the rolling door and walked out, they realized they were in Chinatown.
"I didn't expect the magic users from the East to be so powerful... Damn reporters, reporting nonsense and lying every single day!" Yinsen sighed as he walked and looked at the street.
Damn it...
It's all the fault of those damned reporters. They often talk about the East being destitute, poor, and backward.
But what about the result???
Such a powerful magic user, and a Mutant on top of that!
If he started causing trouble, who could stop him???
"Brother, that's very normal. Those damned reporters only know how to fool the common people."
Stark laughed, looking at the noodle shop sign... Number One Noodle Shop...
That's some serious bragging!!!
But it's true, the noodle shop owner is truly awesome. Casually coming from the Sahara Desert to New York's Chinatown—who wouldn't be bewildered by that ability?
"Let's head back first. We'll come back for noodles when we have the chance."
"Alright then."
Stark walked on the street and used his phone to call his private intelligent butler, Jarvis. Soon, Pepper Potts, who is also known as Pepper, arrived with people to pick up Stark.
After Stark returned, he immediately underwent an examination, but it was discovered that there was no way to deal with the shrapnel at present. They could only wait until medical technology advanced enough to precisely remove the shrapnel.
In the original plot, it wasn't until Iron Man 3 that the shrapnel was removed from his body and the Arc Reactor was taken out.
As for Chen Tian, after resolving the matter, he started playing games. He wasn't opening the shop today, and he didn't want to go out, so what else was he supposed to do besides play games?
As for whether Stark would pay, he wasn't worried at all. Not pay? What would he keep it for?
Besides, Stark didn't care about that little bit of money.
...
Soon a day passed.
When Chen Tian woke up from bed, the Shadow Legionhad already prepared his toiletries, including breakfast.
As expected of you! Nanny Legion!!!
"The first thing to do every day upon waking up is to draw a little prize to liven things up!"
"System, draw a prize."
[Drawing prize...]
As a voice rang out, the wheel appeared in front of Chen Tian again, and then the wheel began to spin...
"Hmm... That girl Chen Shuyi has had irregular periods for ten years, I won't mess with her. I'll just draw like this."
[Ding -- Congratulations Host, you have drawn an item-class prize, obtaining Men's Pure Cotton Boxers, antibacterial, breathable, large size, loose-fitting, allowing your lower body to breathe fresh air.]
"..." Chen Tian.
No...
No, what the hell is this???
This is allowed???
Underwear???
I...
I drew a... a pair of underwear???
And damn it, it's breathable...
Brother, does your lower body have respiratory organs? Can you do anything other than fart with it?
"Fuck!!! What the hell are you giving me underwear for!!!"
Chen Tian broke down...
His good mood for the day was just... just gone!
"System, are you targeting me? You can even draw underwear?"
Chen Tian seriously suspected that the System was clearly an AI, but it was just pretending!
Damn, the previous two times were such good things, and the third time is just this??
[Ding -- The lottery system is divided into six categories and can draw anything from all the worlds, everything depends on luck.]
"..." Chen Tian.
Does that mean my luck sucks today? Am I going to get hit and die if I go out??
Chapter 8: You Call These Employees? Working Overtime Tonight
Sigh... Chen Tian felt helpless.
The things from the Myriad worlds—I miscalculated. I thought everything I drew would be great, but... the Myriad worlds don't just have good things.
It seems next time I must swear by that girl Chen Shuyi!
Girl, I'm sorry, but your boss is about to persecute you.
"Forget it, forget it. A pair of underpants is just a pair of underpants. I'll take a shower tonight, change into them, and draw again tomorrow!" Chen Tian got up and went downstairs, where the Shadow Soldiers had already prepared his toiletries.
Just as he finished washing up and was about to eat, Chen Shuyi pulled open the rolling shutter door and walked in.
"Ahhh..." As soon as she entered, Chen Shuyi screamed in terror!
What did she see...
Holy crap!
Why was there a group of strange, black-clad figures with red eyes behind her boss???
The key thing was that these strange figures... their skin seemed to be dark blue, and they were dressed like ninjas from the Japanese side.
Damn!!! What the hell is this!!!
"Don't be nervous, these are all employees of our shop." Chen Tian rolled his eyes, speechless.
Chen Tian hadn't intended to hide them anyway; after all, the Shadow Legion was from the jackie chan adventuresworld, which didn't exist in the Marvel World.
Although jackie chan adventures was also set in the USA, Chen Tian had checked for a long time. Even the moment he obtained the Shadow Legion, he had secretly ordered them to search, yet they couldn't find key figures like Jackie, Jade, or Uncle.
Let alone them, even Valmont and Ratso weren't there.
So, this was just a Marvel World, not a fusion of many worlds.
Besides, Stark already knew about it, so what was there to worry about? Even if that egghead from S.H.I.E.L.D.showed up, what could he do to him??
Even if you have many weapons, if I can't beat you, I can hide—can't I just go straight to the Shadow Kingdom? Once I check in and get something awesome, I'll wipe out your country, what can you do?? You can't do anything!
Therefore, Chen Tian had no intention of hiding anything.
"You... you call these employees??"
The little girl was dumbfounded. These people didn't seem to have pupils; their eyes... oh no, their entire eye sockets were blood-red!!
"What else would you call them??" The latter shrugged.
"Fine... seriously, these days are really not peaceful. Mutants have appeared in the north, Stark has been kidnapped, and now these monsters have appeared around you. I seriously suspect you're behind it all." Chen Shuyisighed and opened the main door wide...
"Mutants, huh..." However, after hearing this, Chen Tian fell into deep thought.
Mutants did exist in the Marvel World, like Quicksilver, but was this a fusion of the USA and comics???
But who cares? We should just have fun. Once Stark sends the money over, I'll go buy a Villa in a while, and that's when I can truly lie flat.
What does the apocalypse have to do with me?
Anyway, my main focus is one word: lie flat!!
I worked like a dog in my past life; now that I finally don't have to struggle for three meals a day, why should I work so hard?
Maybe if I'm lucky, I'll draw a palace, and it would be pretty nice to become an emperor on Earth. Don't say I can't draw a palace; heck, they even arranged underpants for me, how could I not draw one? It just depends on luck.
"Boss... why are you looking at me with that resentful face?"
After a while, Chen Shuyi looked at Chen Tian, who was sitting at the cash register looking at her with a resentful expression, and said speechlessly, "I didn't hit you last time, okay?"
"It's fine, as long as you're fine."
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Shuyishivered... No... what's wrong with the boss today? Did he take the wrong medicine???
Soon, the first customer of the day arrived.
"Grandpa Xu, the usual??" Chen Shuyi said, standing up with a smile.
Back home, many people eat noodles for breakfast; for example, in Tianfu, many people on early shifts or those getting off night shifts choose to eat noodles before working or going home to sleep.
"That's right, Xiao Yi, the usual." Grandpa Xu nodded kindly, then looked at Chen Tian and teased, "Yo, up pretty early today? Didn't stay up late last night?"
Then he looked at the Shadow Legion in their black ninja outfits and frowned...
"Don't make fun of me, Elder Xu." Chen Tian smiled helplessly and said, "I didn't feel like playing around with that recently. By the way, these are the new employees in my shop."
"Japanese?"
Grandpa Xu was still frowning.
Chen Tian naturally knew that the hatred for the Japanesewas deeply ingrained in the bones of the people from the East, especially for people like Grandpa Xu who had once been soldiers.
"No, Grandpa Xu, please don't ask." Chen Tian waved his hand and smiled.
Seeing Chen Tian's attitude, Grandpa Xu nodded: "Alright, kid Chen, the Japanese aren't good people; keep your eyes open when hiring."
Afterward, Chen Tian chatted with Grandpa Xu again, mostly about how business was going or how work was going. Chen Shuyi brought the noodles over, and Grandpa Xu chatted with Chen Tian intermittently.
However... Chen Tian noticed that Grandpa Xu's brows remained furrowed, and it wasn't because of the Shadow Legion; it seemed there was something else.
"Grandpa Xu, is something going on lately?"
Elder Xu was the second person Chen Tian had met after his rebirth, so he naturally felt closer to him in this world. Therefore, if Elder Xu encountered any trouble, Chen Tianwould choose to help if he could. If it were anyone else... well, what did that have to do with him? He wouldn't even call an ambulance if they died; at most, he'd take a photo to record it.
"It's nothing, it's nothing." Grandpa Xu laughed, continuing to eat his noodles, but as he ate, his eyes became misty.
"Grandpa Xu, tell me, maybe I can help!" Chen Tian said immediately and seriously, his tone not one of negotiation, but rather... a bit commanding.
"You kid... sigh, actually it's no big deal, it's just... these noodles are delicious, and my old squad leader loved eating this kind. But unfortunately, he can't eat them now..."
Under Chen Tian's urging, Elder Xu finally spoke up. It was because at five or six in the morning, he had received a call that the border had been attacked. It seemed to be two or three waves of foreign mercenary groups, and his old squad leader was one of the administrators at the border.
Everyone knows that bullets on the battlefield have no eyes. Unfortunately, the old squad leader was injured. Although it wasn't life-threatening, he would only be able to eat liquid food from now on...
"Mercenary groups?" Chen Tian was stunned.
Isn't this just walking right into my crosshairs?? It just so happens that I was holding in some frustration from this morning's draw, and I need to upgrade my Lightning Ability. Using all of you to level up would be best, and it can be considered a little help to the home front in this world.
Besides, even the big brothers at the border didn't react in time, and some detectors didn't go off either, allowing that old squad leader to get hurt. This is definitely not simple... maybe some scum are fishing in troubled waters!
"Looks like I'll have to work overtime tonight."
Chapter 9: Reach Level Three First, Then Just Kill Them All
Chen Tian did not tell Elder Xu about the matter. Elder Xualso knew that Chen Tian was just a small shop owner; what help could he provide? It was just more satisfying to say it out loud.
Soon, Elder Xu finished eating and left. There were other customers in the small shop, but eight or nine out of ten were Easterners.
After all, eating noodles in the morning... this was completely impossible for these foreigners. Most of them only had milk and bread, or burgers and coffee; how could they possibly eat noodles??
Besides, this was Chinatown, a gathering place for Chinese people. There were some foreigners, but most were Chinese.
Chen Tian also sat at the cash register, bored, with faint sparks of Lightning Ability appearing at his fingertips...
I should be able to reach Level Three tonight, right??
[Ding--] [Host: Chen Tian.] [Knowledge: None.] [Cultivation Method: None] [Ability: Lightning AbilityLv2 (0 / 1000).] [Servant: Ninja Shadow Corps.] [Magic Treasure: None.] [Item: High-end Men's Antibacterial Breathable Underwear.]
"..." Chen Tian.
Damn it... I get pissed off every time I see this!!
"One thousand people. If I wipe out the mercenary groups at my doorstep, that should be enough for Level Three, right? Or should I go to Myanmar? I heard they care about our family's kidneys over there, so I'll wipe them out too."
Chen Tian pondered, then looked at the shadow cast by his palm under the sunlight and whispered: "First, go and figure out those mercenary groups at my doorstep. See how many people there are, then go to Myanmar and capture all those who are cutting out our family's kidneys. Wait for me to go over there tonight."
Two scarlet eyes quickly appeared within the shadow. After the eyes expressed respect, they instantly vanished.
Having the Shadow Legion is truly great. Look at this—the service rate is extremely high, and they never talk back. Whatever orders I give, they will risk their lives to complete them.
"Hmm... just wait until night..."
"Ding dong..." At this moment, before Chen Tian could finish speaking, his phone rang. He picked it up and looked.
Sure enough, that guy Stark had transferred the one billion greenbacks.
It seems he went to talk to the bank people earlier; otherwise... it's one billion! How could it be transferred so easily? This isn't a novel!
Stark is the youngest billionaire; it's very normal for him to just say a word to the bank. After that, Chen Tian stopped paying attention to it. He was now thinking about what would happen if he upgraded his Lightning Ability to Level Three tonight...
Soon, the day passed just like that.
Night fell.
In this New York, and even in countries outside of home, the night is extremely dangerous. If you are unlucky and run into a few hoodlums, they might screw you, rob you of your money, cut out your kidneys, and maybe even kill you.
Therefore, in the whole Earth, only home is safe. You can go out for skewers or take a night run freely. Although you might still encounter some perverts, but...
People are divided into good and evil. Where there is good, there is evil, so it's normal. It's just that home is much safer.
Without anyone noticing, Chen Tian had already been brought outside his doorstep through the Shadow Soldiers.
He was now inside a fortress, and hundreds of mercenaries were kneeling before Chen Tian. They were of all different skin colors, and each mercenary had a Shadow Soldier standing beside them.
In jackie chan adventures, the Shadow Legion might look like small fries, but for ordinary people, they are a nightmare!!
No matter how awesome these mercenaries are, they aren't as powerful as those Mutants, right??
"Where are the people from Myanmar?" Chen Tian asked.
"Swish..." Instantly, all the Shadow Soldiers looked at the people kneeling to the front left and rear.
"Hehe, not bad, not bad. But... it's not enough. There are at most four hundred here. I want one thousand people."
Once these words were spoken, the Shadow Soldierslowered their heads, blaming themselves for their incompetence.
The Shadow Soldiers cannot speak, but their loyalty is unquestionable, especially in their ability to do things for their Master in advance.
"Alright, I'm not blaming you."
Chen Tian chuckled, then looked at the mercenaries kneeling on the ground in fear...
"Who speaks Chinese?"
"My... My Lord, I... I can speak it!!"
At this moment, a mercenary with Chinese features appeared. Chen Tian gestured, and the Shadow Soldier holding a Tang Dao and suppressing him brought him to kneel before Chen Tian.
"From the Dragon Kingdom?"
"Yes, yes, yes, My Lord. I am from Shenhai, near the Chunshen River in the Dragon Kingdom..." The man said with a fawning smile.
This person in front of him is a fellow countryman; then he shouldn't die, right??
"You... don't look like a mercenary." Chen Tian looked at his clothes; it was obvious he had come for tourism, then had been starving for a few days, and was covered in dirt.
The man burst into tears upon hearing this...
Damn it...
It would have been better if you didn't say anything. Now that you've said it, I feel so aggrieved!!
Since the afternoon, everyone in the mercenary groups had disappeared inexplicably. By the time it was his turn, he only saw a pair of blood-red eyes, then he passed out. When he woke up, he was kneeling on the ground...
Damn!! That's terrifying, okay???
I finally managed to take my family out for a trip, but not only was I captured and robbed by mercenaries, I also had to endure this stuff...
As expected, what they say on the internet back home is right—everyone outside is a damn bad guy!!
"My Lord, I... my name is Lv Baoguo. I brought my wife and children here for a trip, but we were kidnapped in Myanmar. My wife and children were captured by them. It is said they want to force my wife into prostitution and cut out my children's organs..."
Chen Tian suddenly realized. He glanced at the Shadow Soldier, and the Shadow Soldier immediately sank into the darkness underground.
As for what it was doing, it was naturally going to save people. It didn't matter if he didn't know before, but now that it was right in front of him, he would help if he could.
Afterwards, he waved his hand and said: "Alright, alright, my men have already gone to save them. When everyone arrives, I'll have them send your family back. For now, you will act as a translator. Ask them who it was that invaded our doorstep recently?"
"Yes, yes, yes, thank you, My Lord!!" Lv Baoguo nodded immediately, then started chattering away at the group of mercenaries.
At this moment, all the mercenaries looked toward the one hundred people in the middle...
"Zzz... Boom!!" At this very moment! Chen Tian saw that they were all silent, so he immediately struck them with Lightning Ability!
A mercenary exploded instantly! Flesh and blood flew everywhere!!
This scene scared these people until they pissed themselves... They all pointed at the one hundred people and chattered away.
Lv Baoguo was also scared paralyzed, but soon heard what those people said. He immediately stood up and said tremblingly: "My Lord! It's them! They invaded our doorstep recently and even hurt our people!!"
"They said it wasn't their intention; it was ordered by a politician from the USA..."
"Hmm..."
"Then just kill them all."
Chen Tian looked at the Shadow Soldier and said: "Go and kidnap that politician's entire family. Remember! The entire family! Don't even let the dog in the house go!!"
Once these words were spoken, the killing intent was overwhelming!! It was as if the entire fortress had instantly dropped ten degrees, and everyone was trembling all over...
Chapter 10: Why the Hell Did I Keep Running Outside? Lightning Upgrades Again
Zzzt, zzzt, zzzt...
Boom, boom, boom...!!!
However, in the next moment, Lu Baoguo truly understood what a demon was...
In his eyes, the hundreds of people who were alive just a moment ago—Chen Tian simply waved his hand, and countless bolts of lightning flashed!
In an instant!!
Hundreds of living people exploded in an instant!
Flesh and blood splattered everywhere, mutilated remains littered the ground, and countless piles of mangled flesh accumulated on the floor, staining the Earth blood-red, with some white liquid mixed in...
How could Lu Baoguo not know? That white liquid mixed in with the blood and minced meat on the ground—that was human brain matter!!
Blegh...
Lu Baoguo immediately dry-heaved uncontrollably.
He really wanted to travel back in time to a few days ago and slap his past self hard. Why the hell did you come out here to travel for no reason?
Was the scenery of the Great Wall not good enough, or was Mount Laojun covered in flying snow not beautiful enough? Or was the solemn and majestic Capital Squarenot impressive enough??
Why the fuck did you run out here...
"Go ahead and puke. You'll get used to it," Chen Tianchuckled.
[Ding—Slayed a living being, Proficiency +1.]
[Ding—Slayed a living being, Proficiency +1.]
[Ding—Slayed a living being, Proficiency +1.]
...
Then, the system's voice rang in Chen Tian's mind, but he was speechless and said, "Can you mute this stuff? It's really noisy!"
[Ding—Muted. Will only notify upon leveling up.]
[Ding—]
[Host: Chen Tian.]
[Knowledge: None.]
[Technique: None]
[Ability: Lightning Ability Lv2 (369/1000).]
[Servant: Ninja Shadow Corps.]
[Magic Treasure: None.]
[Item: Men's Antibacterial Breathable High-Grade Underwear.]
"Not bad."
Chen Tian chuckled, "Still short of over six hundred..."
"Then let's kill everyone in these places. Go and capture seven hundred people for me."
As he spoke, Chen Tian glanced at the Shadow Soldiers. The Shadow Soldiers left instantly, leaving only a hundred behind to guard Chen Tian, ready to obey his orders at any time.
Buzz...!!!
At this moment, two hundred Shadow Soldiers arrived, each carrying about three people.
Some were carried, some were escorted under guard. Clearly, those being carried were kidnapped Chinese people who had suffered inhumane treatment...
And those being escorted were, of course, those damn scumbags.
However, when they arrived here and saw the scene before them, they, like Lu Baoguo, began to vomit uncontrollably...
Damn it...
What the hell...
Where the hell is this?!
What's going on?!
Fuck, if we are to become a piece of minced meat here, I'd rather stay where I was!!!
"Alright, Lu Baoguo. These people are all Chinese. I will have them take you back to the country, to the Inspectorate Bureau. As for how to get back after that, figure it out yourselves," Chen Tian said, glancing at Lu Baoguo, who was still vomiting to the point of throwing up bile.
"Blegh... yes... yes... thank you, My Lord... blegh..."
He couldn't help but vomit.
Holy shit!!
He had only seen scenes of severed fingers in movies before, but... seeing living people blown into minced meat with his own eyes, this... this almost scared him into losing control of his bladder and bowels, okay???
Chen Tian smiled, then glanced at a Shadow Soldier.
That soldier directly took Lu Baoguo, along with the Chinese people carried by the other soldiers, sinking into the darkness to leave this place.
As for those being escorted...
Of course, they only had death waiting for them.
...
Next, Chen Tian sat in the place littered with minced meat. He killed one batch, and the Shadow Legion brought another batch.
As for that USA politician's entire family, they were killed directly; Chen Tian didn't even bother to ask.
Don't ask why he didn't change locations. After all... keeping the minced meat piled in one place avoids polluting other places, doesn't it??
[Ding—Lightning Ability upgraded to Lv3.]
In an instant!
As the system prompt rang in Chen Tian's mind, in the next moment, lightning raged across the surface of Chen Tian's body, and violent, destructive lightning energy surged through his body!!
Chen Tian not only had the Lightning Ability but also the Dark Energy of the Shadow Kingdom continuously strengthening his body. However, compared to the gentleness of the Dark Energy and its body-strengthening effects, the Lightning Ability was far more terrifying!
Under the stimulation of the Lightning Ability, countless cells in his body rapidly strengthened, his blood was refined to contain more energy, his heart beat more powerfully, and a sensation of immense power surged in his heart.
The lightning energy skyrocketed again, multiplying several times over. Moreover, waves of enlightenment appeared in his mind; his control became stronger, and more ways to apply the Lightning Ability were unlocked one after another!
It wasn't that Chen Tian hadn't thought about condensing lightning into various forms to unleash it and enhance its destructive power before.
He had seen those TV shows and movies where all kinds of awesome characters manipulated lightning into various weapons or other things, but he had been unable to do so.
Chen Tian's level had been too low, and the lightning energy and total volume within his body were definitely insufficient. Therefore, limited by the total energy and various issues, he had always failed. Now, he could finally do it!!
Zzzt, zzzt, zzzt...
At this moment, Chen Tian opened his eyes. With his palm facing up, several bolts of lightning wove into a net, eventually condensing into the shape of a leopard, which quickly turned into a tiger roaring at the sky, and then into a thunder dragon looking down upon the mortal world!!
As the shape constantly shifted, sensing the destructive power and a trace of spiritual power within it, Chen Tiandispersed it with satisfaction.
"Not bad, not bad. The level three Lightning Ability is much stronger than level two. Compared to killing mercenaries so slowly before, now with a snap of my fingers, the lightning shifts, insta-killing a whole crowd!"
"This makes things much easier. I wonder what level four will be like."
The lightning energy in Chen Tian's body now was extraordinarily massive.
Look at level one before, which could barely gather at his brow. After level two, it swept through his entire body. At level three, even his entire skeleton, flesh, and cells underwent changes.
One could only imagine how vast the level three lightning energy was.
"Can I beat Thor now??"
Thinking that there was still a Thor in the Marvel World—he was a god with a divine body, so killing him might not be very likely, but defeating him...
Hmm... I must find an opportunity to try.
"This matter is considered finished. Let's go home!"
After speaking, the Shadow Soldier behind him grabbed the chair and slowly melted into the darkness...
But it wasn't over here. One thousand people wasn't a lot compared to all the mercenary groups combined, but it still attracted attention. Especially those who liked to seize territory—they were scared shitless when they arrived here.
The ground was raised by more than ten centimeters by the minced meat, brains, severed limbs, and bones everywhere, combined with the mercenaries who had mysteriously disappeared...
They all knew that this place was no longer peaceful; a god of slaughter had emerged. In the end, rumors even turned it into an alien invasion...
Even the leaders of various territories (countries) on Earthreceived the news...
Killing a thousand people in one night was nothing for firearms, but disappearing mysteriously and then being found as mere remains—how could this not cause a sensation???
Of course, Chen Tian naturally didn't know about this. Even if he did, he would just smile casually. Aliens? No! I am an otherworldly being!!
