Wanjie Hotel: Iron Man is not allowed to charge

Chapter 113 Super Criminal, Here We Come (asking for monthly ticket)
Arthur's arrival brought a joyful atmosphere to tonight's welcome dinner and celebration dinner.

Arthur found that he was becoming more and more comfortable telling jokes in front of others. He couldn't remember the last time he laughed uncontrollably.

Just as he finished telling a joke with Wen Ming's cooperation, a childish laugh suddenly came from the door: "Arthur, this joke is so funny."

Arthur saw who was coming and rushed to the door in surprise: "Little Wukong? Why are you here?"

"I wanted to eat the food cooked by Wen Ming, so I thought about him and came here."

Little Wukong jumped into Arthur's arms with a smile, then looked at the delicious food on the buffet table: "Wen Ming, I want to eat meat."

Wen Ming smiled and rubbed his head, then picked up the phone to notify the kitchen to send 50 kilograms of beef.

This big eater.

Even 50 kilograms of beef may not be enough to fill his teeth.

Bulma was wearing a green T-shirt and shorts, looking energetic. She moved closer to Wen Ming, put her hands behind her back, and raised her chin: "Wen Ming, did you miss me?"

"I thought about you two!"

Wen Ming smiled and called Rebecca, Charon, Marcus and others over, introducing them to Bulma and Goku one by one.

Little Wukong is like a happy person who is loved by everyone. His arrival makes everyone present happy.

When Bulma saw Rebecca, her eyes lit up. Why does this girl look so much like us Xidu people?

However, it seems that there are more beautiful women around Wen Ming.

I don’t know if Wen Ming has changed his mind.

Just as everyone was enjoying the food and drinks, Hai Hou's voice suddenly rang out through Wen Ming's Bluetooth headset: "Boss, there's a bald man at the hotel entrance. It's most likely Mr. Luther."

"Who?"

"Lex Luthor."

Wen Ming picked up his mobile phone. Hai Hou had already turned the camera to the phone. When he saw the signature bald head appear, Wen Ming couldn't help but frown.

Appeared!
The super criminals are finally starting to show up!

Moreover, the first person he appeared on the scene was Lex Luthor, who is ranked third among the TOP100 comic book villains and fourth among the greatest comic book villains in history.

But Wen Ming was not panicked.

Because I have stronger criminals.

Double number one criminal!
"Arthur, we have a new guest. Please help me greet him and invite him up to the party."

Wen Ming waved to Arthur, who immediately came over excitedly: "Where is he?"

"Here, he's just outside the gate. Go to the first floor and bring him up."

Wen Ming pointed at the big bald head on the phone screen, and Arthur smiled happily: "This customer looks very familiar, boss, leave it to me!"

Arthur, who was entrusted with an important task by Wen Ming, tidied his hair, walked out of the activity room door with his head held high, took the elevator to the lobby on the first floor, and quickly walked towards the bald man who was looking around.

"Hello, welcome to the Flatiron Hotel."

Lex Luthor saw the other person's smile and immediately responded with a polite smile: "Hello, I don't think I have heard of this hotel before."

“I hadn’t heard of it before, but I’m an employee at this hotel now, so why not come and check it out?

Our boss is hosting a party, and he knows you're coming, so he asked me to invite you upstairs to the party."

Arthur politely invited Lex Luthor upstairs. Lex glanced at the people coming and going in the lobby, their touchscreen phones or computers in their hands, and the small Bluetooth headphones on their ears, and a big smile appeared on his face: "It's my pleasure."

Arthur and Lex smiled at each other and walked into the elevator together.

"I feel like you look very familiar. You must come to our hotel more often in the future."

"Thank you. I will definitely come here more often. You look very familiar to me. What do you do for a living?"

"I'm a stand-up comedian, and I specialize in stand-up comedy in this hotel. So, do you like stand-up comedy?"

"That was awesome, I love stand-up comedy."

……

"How have you been out in the wild these past two days? It must have been tough taking care of little Goku."

After Arthur left, Wen Ming looked at Bulma beside him.

Bulma immediately nodded shyly and said, "He just doesn't know much about life. Wen Ming, you have to work with me to teach him well."

"He has a pure mind, and gradually he understands these common sense of life."

Wen Ming nodded and changed the subject: "I tried to make some adjustments to Haihou's main program. Are you free tomorrow morning? I want you to help me take a look."

"Oh my god, Wen Ming, you can program? Let's go to your room and see later."

"Shouldn't we go to the computer room?"

"It must be more comfortable to watch it in your room! I prefer to work in bed, what about you?"

……

Soon, the door to the activity room opened, and a bald young man walked in. "Hello, it's an honor to be invited to your reception. I'm Lex Luthor, you can call me Lex."

"Hello, I'm Wen Ming, the owner of this hotel."

Wen Ming walked up and shook hands with this super criminal whose IQ was comparable to Batman.

Everyone present, except Arthur, knew very well that this person must also be a time traveler from a film and television universe, otherwise the boss would not have invited him, so they all raised their glasses to greet him.

The rich young man has an extremely strong personal charm, and his smile is a bit naughty. If an ordinary girl sees him, she will probably be immediately fascinated by him.

However, the women present only raised their glasses politely. Even the most crazy Bulma did not react much after seeing him.

A trace of doubt flashed in Lex's eyes. This was the first time he felt that his charm was not as good as before.

This shouldn't be the case. Is there something wrong?

But he still chatted with Wen Ming with a smile on his face.

Wen Ming answered his questions politely and kept asking about his background.

Wen Ming soon confirmed that this Luthor came from "Smallville" and that he and Clark still lived in a small town called Smallville.

……

Unlike the settings in other comics and movies, in "Smallville", Lex Luthor's father is not an alcoholic, but a billionaire, and Lex is best friends with the young Superman Clark in this series.

During the 10-season plot, he and Superman had a love-hate relationship. He was killed by Green Arrow in the 8th season, but was resurrected in the 10th season finale.

Similarly, he also appeared in the series "Supergirl", where he was killed by his sister Lena Luthor, but was resurrected.

In a word, this is a super criminal who can be killed and resurrected again and again.

DC's writers were just so reluctant to let this super popular criminal die a quick and easy death.

The same is true for criminals like the Joker.

……

It has to be said that Lex has an extremely strong personal charm. There is sincerity in his eyes, and he constantly exudes kindness towards Wen Ming. Wen Ming did not deliberately reject him, but instead chatted with him about the situation of the hotel.

Lex took a sip of the champagne in his hand, a thoughtful glint in his eyes.

"So, I passed through a space crack?"

Wen Ming nodded. He didn't lie to Lex.

This Lex Luthor's intelligence is on par with Batman's. In the comics, he was even detected by Brainiac to have "level nine intelligence". Moreover, Lex is proficient in most of the knowledge in astronomy, geography, information technology, and artificial intelligence.

Wen Ming even suspected that he had guessed this result on the way up here.

After all, in "Smallville" and "Supergirl", the multiverse is not a strange thing at all. In the near future, Lex will even be able to travel to the 31st century and obtain all kinds of powerful technologies.

So he was very straightforward and didn't intend to hide anything.

Moreover, although Lex Luthor is a super criminal, no matter how unscrupulous he is, he has an idea that is supported by many people.

That is, the existence of supermen deprives humans of their potential.

Humanity does not need Superman. The future of humanity should be decided by humanity itself, rather than relying on the likes and dislikes of a superhero.

This theory is also one of the reasons why Lex is liked by many people.

From a human perspective, his idea cannot be said to be wrong.

Therefore, under the premise that there is no conflict of ideas, Lai Tu is still a very interesting person.

Just like now.

"Oh? So, can I buy a lot of super-tech stuff from you?"

"Of course, settlement in gold, do you accept?"

"No problem at all."

……

Lex's eyes lit up.

Although he is still young, he has great ambitions and a mind to match.

When he saw the person downstairs using a touch screen phone just now, he had already set his sights on this technology.

Although the other party's Bluetooth headset also exists in his own world, he does not have such a delicate miniature Bluetooth headset.

If he could get hold of these technologies, he would definitely be able to establish his own Luther Group in the shortest possible time and quickly become a billionaire who didn't need to rely on his parents.

Lex took another sip of his champagne.

This hotel looks very nice, but I don't know...

Just as Lex was thinking quickly, he suddenly heard the voice of a child talking to someone.

"...Why do I feel like you're very powerful? Do you want to fight?"

Little Wukong was stuffing beef and juice into his mouth when he suddenly looked up at John who was pouring juice beside him.

John shook his head and said, "I don't hit children."

"No, I'm already a big boy, so come on, let me see how powerful you are!"

Little Wukong quickly swallowed the beef in his mouth, and flames began to burn in his eyes.

That is the desire to fight that comes from the Saiyan bloodline.

John turned to look at Wen Ming and saw Wen Ming shrugged helplessly: "You can fight if you want, but first, don't hurt anyone, and second, don't damage anything in the house. If there is any damage, Xiao Wukong, you will work for me for the rest of your life to pay off your debt."

Little Wukong nodded frantically: "No problem, no problem!"

Wen Ming didn't know whether this warlike little guy had listened to him or not. He also wanted to see how strong John was after the fourth upgrade.

You know, before the improvement, John already possessed the peak physical fitness of a human being. Even though five years of retirement made him a little dull, he was still a top killer.

John also understood what Wen Ming meant.

After several promotions, he never had the chance to stretch his body properly.

The blind Kane, who was once his equal, can now be easily defeated with one hand, so he has always wanted to test his body against the brute-force Saiyan kid in the comics to see who is stronger.

When everyone heard that Little Wukong was going to fight John, they raised their glasses and cheered.

"John, don't bully little Wukong." Helen laughed and slapped the table.

Arthur frowned and whispered, "Little Wukong, be careful, this guy is not simple."

"Don't worry, Arthur!"

Little Wukong grinned, waved at Arthur, then shouted "Hey Ya", and rushed towards John in the center of the room like a small cannonball.

boom!
John stood still, his long right leg sweeping out like a whip, aiming straight at Little Goku's lower body.

Little Goku instinctively jumped back, but John's move was faster - he stretched out his hands like lightning, suddenly grabbed Goku's wrist, and with the force, swung him and slammed him to the ground!

Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling.

"Wow!"

Little Wukong was slammed to the ground, but he rolled over and stood up the moment he touched the ground, his eyes gleaming with excitement: "Amazing!"

He turned over like a wild beast and pounced again, his punches and kicks were random but incredibly fast!

John didn't dodge or evade, but slapped his hands left and right like iron gates, blocking the attack easily. He took advantage of the gap in Goku's attack and elbowed him with a backhand.

Boom!
It hit Goku right in the chest.

Little Wukong was hit in the chest, but he just groaned and grinned: "It doesn't hurt!"

When Arthur saw this scene, his worried heart relaxed a little.

Helen on the side comforted him: "Don't worry, John knows his limits."

Arthur nodded, his eyes turning to Goku again.

John narrowed his eyes—the boy had unusual strength.

He changed his strategy instantly and hooked his right leg.

"Dawai Qiao".

Little Wukong immediately lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground. Lock technique, activate!
John's joints tightened like a vise, his knees digging into the boy's spine. Little Wukong struggled desperately, his tail stretched straight with pain.

"Give up?" John asked.

"No way!" Little Goku suddenly burst out with brute force and rolled over to break free from John's stronghold, but John had already predicted it.

A precise blow to the throat!

"cough!"

Little Goku staggered back two steps, his face twisted in pain.

This is the body's most vulnerable point, even for young Saiyans.

John didn't give Goku a chance to breathe. Bang! Bang! Bang! A series of jabs hit Goku's face, and finally a spinning kick.

There was a "clang" sound.

Little Wukong smashed through a wooden table like a cannonball, sending splinters flying!

He struggled to get up, but the next second, John's hand had gripped his throat like an iron clamp.

"Game over." John said lightly.

Wukong blinked, then finally grinned and raised his hands: "You win...Uncle is so strong!"

John nodded, letting go of his hand and placing him on the ground.

This battle was a collision of pure skill and savagery—and he was still the monster “Night Devil” who controlled everything.

There was silence.

Everyone was stunned.

Ordinary people like Helen, Arthur, Bulma, Pepper, Charon, and Lex didn't even see what happened before the battle was over.

However, Perkins, Marcus and Rebecca, as professionally trained killers and special forces soldiers, were so excited that they found the film very exciting.

Night Demon, so strong!

Wen Mingze had already anticipated this result.

In terms of fighting skills, before becoming Master Roshi's apprentice, Goku always relied on instinct to fight.

Even after becoming Master Roshi's disciple, he was still completely defeated when he met the top killer Tao Pai Pai.

And John Wick?
The Night Demon is proficient in various fighting skills, and his peak human physical fitness has been continuously improved and strengthened four times. If he didn't know how to use shock waves, even Tao Paibai and John might have the strength to fight him.

"John, you're getting better and better!"

Wen Ming was the first to applaud, and everyone present followed suit.

Little Wukong touched his neck, then ran to John as if nothing had happened.

"Can I learn martial arts from you? I feel like you're much stronger than that Master Roshi."

John squatted down and touched Xiao Wukong's head: "I can teach you these fighting techniques, but Qi is a very magical thing. I feel that you can go further if you learn from him.

If you have learned Qi, could you teach me too?"

Little Wukong said with a grin, "Okay, it's settled!"

……

Lex was stunned. He looked at Wen Ming in surprise: "That person?"

"Yes, he is from the same universe as well. He is a professional killer."

Wen Ming pointed at Perkins behind him and said, "This one too."

Lex looked at the 1.8-meter-tall, long-legged beauty behind him in astonishment.

Is this woman also a professional killer?
As good as that guy?
"Oh, by the way, one of them is my security chief, and the other is my personal bodyguard. I have a lot of strong people like this."

Wen Ming flexed his muscles slightly to scare the bald Lai who was full of evil intentions.

Although he knew that Lai Tu was capable of developing a large number of high-tech weapons, he still had to let him know that the Flatiron Hotel was not a place where he could act recklessly.

Lex raised his champagne and toasted John and Perkins: "It's an honor to meet you."

John nodded slightly and returned to sit next to Helen.

Little Wukong walked in front of Lex, raised his neck and looked at the tall bald man. "Arthur said you like to listen to talk shows too?"

"Oh, yes, I like it very much."

Lai Tu did not dare to underestimate this little boy. In the battle just now, he saw how fast this little guy was.

"Then let's watch Arthur's performance together."

Little Goku stood beside Raito and watched Arthur walk to the center of the room.

Lex looked at Wen Ming beside him. Wen Ming nodded, indicating that Arthur was also from another universe, which immediately aroused Lex's interest.

Does this talk show host have any special abilities?

3 minute later.

Lex looked at everyone present smiling and applauding with a dull look. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
"Isn't what Arthur said very funny? Why aren't you clapping?"

Little Goku's innocent voice sounded, and Lex quickly smiled politely and clapped his hands: "That's so funny, I've never heard such a funny joke before."

"Yeah, it's really funny!"

Little Wukong turned to look at Arthur with a smile and waved at him: "Arthur, come on, one more."

Arthur was greatly encouraged. He smiled and bowed to everyone, then started telling the next joke.

Lex rubbed his temples, feeling like something was not right.

Is this the joke in other universes?
Or is it that his ability is just to make others laugh?
Now that he's done that, he's really ridiculous.

A smile appeared on Lex's lips involuntarily.

This hotel is becoming more and more interesting.

After Arthur finished his joke, the music started and everyone moved to the center of the room and started slow dancing.

Wen Ming also put down his glass and pulled Pepper onto the dance floor: "If Tony sees me dancing with you, he will kill me."

"All he has eyes for is his Iron Man suit and Cover Girl."

Pepper stood in front of Wen Ming, swaying relaxedly while shaking her head. "Let's not mention this annoying guy at such a happy moment."

Wen Ming smiled but said nothing.

Annoying?
The person who loves him the most is you.

Bulma stared at the slender figure twisting with Wen Ming and bit her lip.

When will I be as big as her?

"Beautiful lady, would you please have the honor of dancing with me?"

Lex walked up to Bulma and extended an invitation to her.

Although Lex was smart enough at this time, he was still young, so his eyes were not looking at mature and beautiful women like Pepper and Perkins, but at Rebecca and Bulma.

Bulma saw the bald man inviting her and shook her head: "Sorry, I can't dance."

Ugly rejection.

Lex was not discouraged and turned to walk towards Rebecca.

Rebecca was kind enough to agree, and the two of them walked onto the dance floor together.

"Which universe are you from?"

Lex danced while asking Rebecca about her background.

Rebecca thought for a moment and said, "I come from a hell."

"hell?"

Lex looked at Rebecca in surprise. Rebecca said seriously, "To be exact, it comes from a biological hell. I'm working with my boss on how to save the future of this biological hell."

The girl was so righteous that Lex was unsure of what she meant.

But the word "biochemistry" made his eyes light up: "I'm also good at biology. Can I join your research?"

"Really? That's great! With you joining us, we will definitely be able to save more humans."

Rebecca smiled happily: "Are you ready to join the Golden Alliance?"

"Of course, I have just reached a cooperation intention with Wen Ming. I will use the gold to purchase various high-tech products from the Golden Alliance."

Lex looked proud that he was already a member of the Golden Alliance.

Rebecca was even happier: "Will you fund our research?"

"Of course, I can support you no matter how much money is needed."

Lex's mouth curled up even higher.

It turned out that the hotel owner was in urgent need of money.

Even better.

I happen to have money.

Well, my dad is rich.

It's almost like I have money.

Then can I also take this opportunity to acquire some shares of this hotel?

Lex was already imagining a better future: "My family is the richest in my city."

"Really? What a coincidence! We have many of the richest people in the universe here. The girl you just invited is also the daughter of the richest man in the world."

Rebecca kindly introduced Bulma to Lex.

The smile on Lex's face suddenly froze. "There are many richest people in the world? You mean the richest person in the world? Not the richest person in the city?"

"Well, according to the boss, the last thing we lack here is the world's richest man."

Rebecca looked innocent: "The boss said that these world's richest people are very kind and they fund our research for free without asking for anything in return. They are all good people.

So, you’re a nice person too, right?”

Lex opened his mouth. He felt something was wrong, but he had to nod: "Of course I'm a good person."

Rebecca excitedly turned around and jumped in front of Wen Ming. "Boss, this Lex is willing to spend money to fund our biochemical research, and he doesn't want anything in return!"

Wen Ming, who was dancing with Pepper, smiled in surprise: "Really? Lex, you are such a nice person.

So, how much are you going to give me for free?"

Lex gave a dry laugh. "How about $10?"

Why do I feel like I've been cheated?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
I'm so smart, there's no way I'd be cheated.

I'm just being kind.

Wen Ming expressed his sincere gratitude, "Thank you, you are such a kind person."

At this moment, Bulma suddenly appeared out of nowhere and said, "10 US dollars, isn't it too little? Goku spends 10 US dollars for one move."

"Five million dollars?"

Lex looked at the afro-haired kid who was eating voraciously in surprise: "He spends so much money in one go?"

"Yes, the same goes for Uncle John, and it seems that the prices of both of them are going to go up, Wen Ming, am I right?"

Bulma looked at Pepper.

Hehe, I found the opportunity to interrupt your dance.

"About the same. After a while, I plan to raise their price to $10. This is the cost price, and the external sales price will be raised to $20."

Wen Ming's casual words finally made Lex realize a problem.

His father's assets didn't seem to be anything unusual in this hotel.

So, that female soldier just now was not fooling me?
Wen Ming looked at Lex's thoughtful expression and understood that at that time, all his wealth came from his father, and it was very generous of him to promise a funding of 10 US dollars.

If it's more, I'll probably have to discuss it with his father.

So Wen Ming did not look down on the other party because of this.

The timeline of "Smallville" is a little different from others. Clark was not a baby when he arrived on a spaceship in 1989. His high school years were probably from 2001 to 2005. Now Lex's time point is most likely around 2004, or even before 2004.

The price of gold during this period was approximately US$14 per gram.

Gold worth $10 can easily be multiplied seven or eight times if converted into the currency of the Metaverse.

What's more, this $10 is free funding.

Who wouldn’t love such a good Lex?
