A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 101 The Sun Has a Problem

"Build a floating city here?" Tony was genuinely astonished by Levi's wild idea. "We've only been here a few minutes. What were you thinking?"

“Not now, of course, but only if we are certain that there is no great danger here and that we can move freely around!” Li Wei explained.

"I see..." Upon hearing this, Tony couldn't help but start to consider the feasibility of Levi's suggestion—it seemed like it wasn't entirely impossible.

Originally, their plan for the floating city was to emulate S.H.I.E.L.D.'s future space carriers by optically stealthing the floating city and adding artificial clouds (the way the red house was hidden in the movie) for cover.

But without a doubt, even the most advanced technology can still be exposed.

Of course, this doesn't mean that building a floating city in a desolate place eliminates the possibility of it being discovered, but without a doubt, the already low chance of being discovered will be reduced to an even lower level.

Moreover, the wilderness is clearly not within the currently known area of ​​the Earth.

Therefore, if a floating city is built here, it will be difficult for other countries to attack it even if they find out about it in the future.

“However, transporting building materials would be a huge problem if we were to build here!” Tony said.

“We can just use what we have here… If I’m not mistaken, the resources here are quite abundant, and the quality is even higher than in the outside world,” Li Wei said as he finished drawing the beacon.

"Using local materials? That's a good idea... but what about manpower?" Tony countered.

This time, Li Wei didn't answer. Instead, he gave Tony a knowing look and patted Tony's shoulder—or rather, Tony's suit.

Tony was taken aback at first, then realized what was happening, and his face immediately darkened.

"Come on, I think we need to discuss who the boss is." Good grief, this kid means he wants me to mass-produce battle suits—more precisely, the steel legion that Levi once mentioned to him.

They're planning to use him as a laborer!
But by then, Li Wei had already opened a portal and returned to the Alliance headquarters.

However, the next second, Li Wei reappeared at the location of the dimensional beacon.

Clearly, after testing, the recall scroll was not rendered unusable due to the unique characteristics of the Wilderness.

This is good news.

"Alright, now's not the time for idle chatter. We should thoroughly investigate this area first, and of course, we can't forget to look for that explorer lady while we're at it!" Li Wei said, looking at the Ancient One. "Master, will you be joining us from now on, or..."

Although their initial goal was to find Elena and complete the commission.

However, once the existence of the Wildlands was known, the commission became less important.

The important thing has become the wilderness itself!

"Make yourselves at home, I'll just look around!" Gu Yi said with a smile.

Clearly, he meant that he did not intend to go with Li Wei and the others.

Levi was not surprised by the result, and then looked at Natasha, Frank, Bronsky and Jessica.

"Natasha and Frank, you two form a team, Jessica and Bronsky, you form a team. Look around for any trace of Ms. Elena. Although there's no cell phone signal, our radio communication still works, so stay in touch!" Levi gave the order.

"...No, aren't you going to ask me? I don't want to be in a group with you!" Tony objected upon hearing Levi's instruction!
Since they're paired up, does that mean he'll be paired with Li Wei?
He didn't want to team up with this guy who treated the boss like a beast of burden. Wouldn't Natasha and Jessica, those two young girls, be better?
“I didn’t intend to be in your group either.” However, in response to Tony’s objection, Levi smiled slightly, and at this moment, he also put on his Iron Man suit.

"Huh?" Tony was stunned by Levi's reaction. "Didn't you notice something was wrong?" Levi asked.

"What?" Although he was the smartest man in the world, Tony admitted that he couldn't quite keep up with Levi's wildly imaginative thought process, because it wasn't a matter of intelligence at all.

This kid is just plain crazy!

That's right, this kid is mentally ill!

Mental illness!
“It’s the sun. It was already afternoon when we teleported here, but the sun here is at noon… More importantly, half an hour has passed since we arrived because Victor has been drawing the teleportation beacon, but the sun hasn’t changed at all… This is obviously abnormal,” Natasha said, pointing to the sun in the sky.

"Huh?" Tony was stunned upon hearing this.

“…Or do you think we just stood by and watched while you were chatting with Victor? We’ve figured out not only the anomaly of the sun, but also the situation around the teleportation array.” Natasha shrugged. Apart from Jessica, she, Frank, and Bronsky were all either soldiers or agents. They didn’t need to be told what to do; they knew exactly what to do.

When it comes to "wilderness survival", these three are the real experts!

"I see, so this sun is fake, it's an artificial sun, and even the sky might not be real!" Tony exclaimed in sudden realization.

"Huh? Why do you say that? Could it be that we're no longer on Earth?" Jessica was the one who spoke.

All I can say is that this violent little girl has truly unleashed her full potential in terms of strength.

“That is indeed a possibility, but it’s not very likely, because normally celestial bodies are in motion, so even on other planets, it’s unlikely that the sun would remain unchanged!” Tony explained.

In the past, he would have answered Jessica's question with an affirmative tone and astronomical support.

However, ever since he learned about the existence of things like magic and the Infinity Stones—things that are very unscientific—at least according to current scientific theories, they are unsolvable—he rarely uses affirmative statements to talk about common sense.

Just like the sun, according to the original scientific theory, celestial bodies must be in motion and changing.

But now... what if some powerful alien species could control a star?
It's only because Li Wei didn't know Tony's thoughts that he would definitely give him a thumbs up.

"I see..." Jessica nodded, seemingly understanding, as if she were starting to understand.

"So what you meant just now?" Tony asked, looking at Levi.

"Go up to the sky and investigate the situation. See who gets there first!" As soon as Li Wei finished speaking, he activated his battle suit and flew into the sky.

? ? ? ?
"You bastard, you cheated!" Tony yelled, realizing what had happened.

But without hesitation, he chased after Li Wei.

The communication channel was filled with the sounds of the two bickering.

"Let's go, let's get to work!" Natasha shook her head and told Frank to get to work.

Meanwhile, Bronsky led Jessica in another direction to begin the investigation.

As for the Ancient One... she had already left on her own when Levi and Tony started arguing.
