My surname is Stark, who changed my job to become a female big gun?

Chapter 586 Zhao Hailun: Then...will Thor also participate?
By the time the Avengers returned to the Avengers Building in New York on the Quinjet, it was already afternoon. After being tired for most of the day, everyone finally got a chance to relax.

However, before the triumphant crowd was ready to return to their respective rooms to take a relaxing bath, Dr. Zhao Helen, who had been staying in the Avengers Building, took the lead and came up to Clint.

"Can you show me your wound?"

Dr. Zhao Helen's eyes were filled with surprise and disbelief at this moment. It seemed that she still couldn't accept the fact that Clint was still safe and sound.

But then she realized that she was too abrupt and quickly apologized:
"I'm sorry, I'm just... I'm just too surprised that there are such magical things in this world. For a moment, I was a little..."

"It's okay, I understand, and I've witnessed even more outrageous situations before."

Clint smiled slightly, not taking it too seriously.

"Yes, you know, the guy next to me was shot through the chest by his brother, but he is still fine now."

Tony patted Thor's shoulder teasingly, and without waiting for the latter's reaction, he walked to the bar alone to pour himself a drink.

He now urgently needed something like alcohol to numb himself and force himself to forget those heart-wrenching things.

"Yes, Lainie's stuff is very reliable. Even in Asgard, it's hard to find an alchemist as amazing as her."

Thor patted his strong chest, showing great pride.

"Alchemist?"

Dr. Zhao Hailun was a little confused.

In her understanding, alchemists seemed to exist only in those vague myths and legends, and their areas of expertise were more like materials research in the field of modern science and technology than medical healing techniques.

It is even more impossible to repair the originally shocking wound to its original state with just a few simple treatments like what is happening now.

"Don't be ridiculous, how is this possible?"

"He's not kidding, Dr. Zhao, Lainie's magic is actually much more than that."

Dr. Banner, who had more private interactions with Dr. Zhao Hailun, patted the latter's shoulder comfortingly.

"I know this goes against our common understanding of the material world, but what Lainie is mastering should actually be considered another realm..."

"You mean... magic?"

Dr. Zhao Helen was stunned for a moment. She was not a stubborn person, so she could naturally understand what Dr. Banner meant.

What's more, Zhao Hailun is not very old and has a strong ability to accept new things.

"not quite."

Lainie also went to the bar and poured herself a glass of whiskey, then walked over to the others with the glass in hand.

"In fact, compared to those magicians who are really good at casting magic, my control over magic power can be said to be quite superficial. All I can do is to mix and combine some alchemical products with superb effects."

He carefully examined the wound on Clint's waist and confirmed that the previous injury did not leave any obvious marks, then he smiled with satisfaction.

"But at least for trauma, they're working pretty well so far, right, Clint?"

Lainie slapped the exposed wound on Clint's waist in a teasing manner, and everyone screamed at her indecent behavior.

"Hey, Lainie, even though there aren't any obvious marks on his wound, if Clint's girlfriend saw your slap, his backyard would probably be on fire."

Rhodey chuckled and teased, and even Steve next to him couldn't help but laugh and shake his head.

"That's very unseemly."

Seeing this, others also started to make a fuss, and even Clint himself joined in the condemnation.

"If I didn't have a girlfriend, I would have cheated you out of a French dinner just for what you did."

Hearing this, Lainie, who didn't care about other people's booing, couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.

But when she saw that Natasha didn't say anything or react, Lainie simply didn't find fault with Clint's words.

Anyway, what they said was not wrong. He really didn't have a girlfriend. He just had a pregnant wife and two lively children.

The timely jokes coupled with the relaxed atmosphere around them helped to soothe the nerves that were originally tense due to the battle.

Lainie's smile widened and she clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention.

"Alright, alright, let's stop with the teasing for now. If there's anything more interesting, we can save it for the celebration party later. Let's let our only injured patient recuperate and give him some time to call his mother to let her know he's safe."

"Oh~"

Everyone laughed, it turned out that you, Lainie Stark, were the most offensive person.

"I'll just assume that you care about me."

Clint shrugged helplessly, and then cast a grateful look at Lainie without leaving a trace.

Among all the people present, only Lainie, Natasha and Agent Hill knew that he was married, and he did not want to reveal the existence of his family too early.

This has nothing to do with trust or not, but is simply due to the nature of the job and I don't want Laura and the others to be involved.

After playing around, everyone felt completely relaxed and went back to their rooms to rest.

Dr. Zhao Helen got what he wished for from Lanie, a sample of an alchemical potion called Golden Goat Milk, along with a report on SHIELD's past clinical tests on the alchemical potion.

"I can't believe it. I originally thought that Dr. Hansen's desperate serum technology was a groundbreaking product in the history of modern human medicine. I didn't expect that you actually hid such a magical thing..."

After only a cursory glance at the report, Dr. Zhao Hailun was deeply attracted by the contents recorded in the report. He was so surprised that he was incoherent for a moment.

"It's okay, but these alchemical potions are purely consumables. I can't find the raw materials to make them for the time being. For example, the golden goat milk in your hand, you can probably guess what its main ingredient is just by listening to the name."

Lainie drank the whiskey in the glass in one gulp. The technical exchange ended here. She also had to take a good rest because there was a very important matter waiting for her to deal with later.

"So, you don't have to worry about my alchemical potions affecting the future commercial development of your regeneration cradle technology. For now, I can't put these things into the market. We may not even have enough for ourselves."

Dr. Zhao Hailun's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she wanted to explain that she was not worried about these things, but Lainie did not give her the chance to continue, but simply waved her hand.

"Don't worry about it. I don't mean anything else. You should go to bed early. If possible, please attend the celebration party later."

"This……"

Zhao Hailun was a little hesitant. After all, she was not a member of the Avengers. Wouldn't it be a bit...

However, Lainie saw her concern and shook her head with a smile.

"It's not as complicated as you think. It's just a celebration. According to Tony's personality, this event must be open to the public and anyone can participate."

Hearing this, Zhao Hailun reluctantly agreed, but after agreeing, he asked Lai Ni in a low voice with a guilty conscience:
"Then...will Thor also participate?"

Seeing this, Lainie smiled. "Of course he will attend, but I still have to advise you that although he did have a big fight with his girlfriend Jane recently, but..."

Lainie signaled Zhao Hailun with her eyes to look at the fitness area on the other side of the lounge.

"But you're not the only one who likes Thor here."

The latter followed Lainie's gaze and immediately saw a beautiful figure in the fitness area, concentrating on feeling the golden holy sword in her hand.

Dr. Zhao Helun naturally knew this person. Like Thor, she was also the goddess Sif from Asgard in Norse mythology.

"She is indeed a tough competitor..."

Dr. Zhao Hailun murmured, but then he puffed out his chest confidently.

"But I'm not bad, am I?"

Lainie didn't comment, just smiled and said nothing more.

Lainie didn't want to interfere too much in their affairs, and she didn't think that Dr. Zhao Helen would be able to get a response from Thor, the straight man.

That guy is a stubborn person. He probably looks down on everyone except Jane.

……

After Lainie had a comfortable rest and returned to the Avengers Hall, it was almost evening outside. There were not many people gathered in the hall. Only Tony and Dr. Banner were discussing something in the experimental area.

"What are you talking about? How are you going to handle dinner later?"

Lainie pretended to be calm and walked up the stairs to the two of them. Her eyes lingered for a moment on the Loki's scepter that had been set up on the test bench.

Dr. Banner looked a little unnatural when he saw this, and he tried to think of an excuse to get away with it.

"Um, yes, let's... let's talk about it later. Can we try the hot pot you mentioned before tonight... hot pot, that's the right word, right, Tony?"

As Dr. Banner spoke, he kept winking at Tony when Lanie wasn't paying attention.

Obviously he felt that what they were discussing now was not suitable for Lainie to know.

However, Tony on the side did not continue to go down the steps given by Banner, but met Lanie's gaze somewhat awkwardly, and gave up resisting after a while.

"Okay, I know you heard everything. We were indeed discussing Ultron."

As the person who knows Lani's personality best in the entire Avengers Building, Tony naturally knows that Lani's nonchalant look is just an act. With her ability and authority, it is easy for her to know what the two were researching just now.

In response to this, Lainie naturally smiled and did not refute.

"You should remember my previous warning, Tony."

"That's natural, but you've seen what happened today. We alone can't do everything perfectly."

Tony's expression remained unchanged as he looked Lainie straight in the eyes.

"So I didn't stop you from developing the Iron Legion."

"But that's not enough."

Tony glanced at the steel machines displayed in the equipment area at his feet. Among them was a damaged robot with the number 04 marked on its chest that was being dismantled and repaired.

"We can't predict everything, Tony. There are always unexpected things that happen."

Lainie also noticed the robot, and her gaze shuddered as she looked at the scrap parts.

"But Ultron can!"

Tony met Lainie's eyes again.

"If we can create Ultron, it can help us better deal with situations like today and avoid those accidents."

The accident Tony mentioned was referring to the incident during the previous operation when the defenders of Baron Stark's castle indiscriminately fired towards the city in order to stop the attack of Tony and his companions, which eventually led to a large number of civilians being attacked by stray bullets.

In Tony's opinion, this is the responsibility of the Avengers, and he is also obliged to avoid similar situations from happening again as much as possible.

"Not even with Jarvis?"

Lainie looked straight at Tony. She knew very well what Tony was worried about at the moment, or what he was afraid of.

"I know Jarvis and I know exactly where his limits are."

Before this, Tony had discussed the concept of artificial intelligence Ultron with Lenny, and the two had even agreed and argued with each other on certain issues more than once.

Therefore, Tony hopes that Lainie can understand, and he also thinks that Lainie should understand.

However, a complex expression flashed across Lainie's eyes. She sighed softly and said slowly:
“Tony, you and I both know that the development of artificial intelligence is full of unknowns and dangers. We cannot ignore the possible risks in pursuit of greater power.

Ultron, it may become our most powerful ally.

But it can also be our worst enemy.”

"I understand your concerns, Lainie."

Tony's tone was firm.

"But we can't stop moving forward because of fear. We need Ultron. We need it to make up for our shortcomings and protect this world."

Lainie looked at Tony's persistent eyes and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

She knew that once Tony made up his mind, it would be difficult to change his mind.

He is like a flying stone that will not turn back until it hits the wall. Only when it hits the wall hard will he realize that some roads are not as easy as he imagined.

So, she took a deep breath and nodded reluctantly:
"Okay, Tony, I agree."

But then, Lainie added:
"But I have to state in advance that this is just my personal agreement with you, and does not represent the opinion of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Lainie had to take precautions in advance. She did agree with Tony's idea, but many things were far from as simple as imagined.

Especially regarding the creation of artificial intelligence Ultron, which involves too many uncontrollable risks, and there is even a high probability that it will trigger a world-destroying disaster. She cannot make such a decision on behalf of the entire S.H.I.E.L.D.

"I understand." Tony nodded, a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

"I will ensure that the creation and operation of Ultron are under strict control and no accidents will happen."

Hearing this, Lainie just sighed.

"I hope so."
