Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 129 It's just a hole, what do I need it for? (Fourth update)
As he spoke, Gu Yi reached out to his side, and a golden halo immediately appeared out of thin air.

"You see, a weaker spatial structure isn't entirely without its advantages; at least the difficulty of spells in this area will be greatly reduced."

As she spoke, Gu Yi reached into her pocket twice and then pulled out a weapon.
"pistol?"

Although Luca really wanted to continue criticizing the Ancient One's assessment of the advantages of weak spatial structures, he was immediately drawn to the pistol she took out of the portal.

The main thing is that Luca didn't expect it either.

The 'trade' that the Ancient One mentioned is actually a 'core component'!!

"You, you, you can sense the difference in this thing???!!"

Luca had always believed that only he could see the cheat code.

Now that the Ancient One has so openly presented it to him, how could he not be surprised?

However, the Ancient One looked at Luca calmly, as if she had just done something very ordinary.

"Are they different? I can't tell."

"what?"

Seeing Luca's dazed expression, Gu Yi smiled and explained.

"It's just that on certain timelines, I saw you get really excited after obtaining this, so, well, you know~"

"This"

Upon hearing the Ancient One's statement, Luca, who was initially somewhat shocked, was immediately speechless.

"So, Master Gu Yi, your so-called deal is to give me things that I would have gotten later anyway?"

Although, I wouldn't have minded giving the [Hex Core] to the other party in the first place.

'But the way you're doing it, aren't you just fooling people?'

"In fact, out of tens of thousands of futures, only a very few will result in obtaining this, um, a pistol."

However, upon hearing this, Luca not only didn't feel like he had gained something, but instead frowned even more.

"Old Deng! You still say you weren't watching my timeline?!"

next moment.

"Boom~"

Another invisible attack struck Luca on the head.

"No way, you can even read minds?!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yi rolled her eyes again.

"You need mind-reading to read your face? I've lived for hundreds of years, don't you know anything about micro-expression psychology?"

After being reprimanded by the Ancient One, Luca could only purse his lips.

What else can we do? Fight this old man?
Blocking out this unrealistic thought, Luca still took the 'pistol' that the Ancient One handed him.

Calling it a pistol isn't entirely accurate; structurally, it's more like an air gun used in shooting competitions.

Most of the gun's structure is exposed, and its overall weight is very light.

Of course, even more important is the cheat code panel that pops up in front of Luca at this moment.

[Dehydration Energy Gun]

Megamind World 2/5

[Manufacturer: Magmay]

[Core Component: Pneumatic Training Pistol]

[Crafting Materials: 1 Baby Pacifier, 1 Mini Dryer, 1 Mini Energy Storage Device, 1 Dimensional Wormhole] [Item Description: Named the Dehydration Pistol, it actually uses energy rays to compress objects into blue energy cubes the size of a thumb. The size and weight of the compressed cube are unaffected by the object's original size or whether its material contains water molecules. The compressed energy cube will return to its original shape after contact with a small amount of water.]

[Friendly reminder: After being compressed into an energy cube, the original person or object will be placed in a special space where time is frozen. Isn't that a kind of alternative immortality?]

'Hmm? Another prop from the Supervillain world.'

'And judging from this description, this thing seems... kind of awesome?'

Judging from the description alone, Luca even felt that this thing was no less than the previous [3D Puzzle Hammer].

The most troublesome thing for Luca right now is how to store and transport those two hundred-plus tons of [Boxer] mechs.

The idea of ​​using mechs weighing hundreds or thousands of tons to fly around, like in Pacific Rim, is simply unrealistic. Even Stark doesn't have that kind of technology now.

At present, the huge [Boxer] mech Luca is only temporarily in control of it, and it is stored in a temporary warehouse with a large number of personnel guarding it.

They were constantly on edge, fearing that a bunch of spies from various factions would suddenly appear and try to steal some parts or something.

Even so, it's only because of the vast ruins in New York that it's still relatively easy to move around.

Once the city is rebuilt, given the size and weight of the [Boxer] mech, one stomp will leave a huge crater in the ground. It won't be able to walk more than a few steps before the road administration department sues it into bankruptcy.

If we had this [dehydration energy gun] that's comparable to Pym particles, it seems like carrying anything wouldn't be a problem anymore?
'And it's not just convenient to store and carry; if you're going to shoot someone, wouldn't you be able to take them down with a single shot?'

'However, this thing doesn't seem to mention any objects? Could there be some kind of restriction?'

However, when Luca saw the last consumable needed for the synthesis, all his other worries seemed insignificant.

"This"

'Dimensional wormhole'—there's one right in front of Luca right now.

But the [Hex Core] was originally intended for use in a deal with the Ancient One, so I can't have it both ways, can I?

Luca looked up at the Ancient One with some hesitation, but after several attempts to explain, he didn't know how to begin.

'If I said that, I'd probably get beaten to death by Harden.'

However, seeing Luca stammering and not saying anything for so long, the Ancient One seemed to be getting impatient and asked directly.

"How is it? Are you satisfied?"

"Well, I am satisfied, but..."

"Young people really don't know how to speak properly. 'Satisfied' is enough, but what 'but'? Alright, I'm busy now, see you later~"

With that, Gu Yi waved her hand casually, and a portal immediately appeared. She then turned to leave.

"Hey, hey hey hey? Ancient One? Your dimensional wormhole??"

Although Luca really wanted to synthesize the [Dehydration Gun] as soon as possible.

However, compared to that, Luca is more concerned about the goodwill that a powerful figure like the Ancient One has for him. Conveniences such as the portability of the gadgets can be addressed in other ways as well.

Moreover, I might not be able to get another 'dimensional wormhole' to synthesize this item later.

Moreover, since the Ancient One took this thing to repair the world barrier, I might as well just hand over the [Hextech Core] obediently.

just
Hearing Luca's call, the Ancient One, who had already stepped into the portal, turned back again.

His response was still that familiar look of disbelief, as if he were an idiot.

"You silly child, you should read more books. A dimensional wormhole is just a hole; what would I need it for?"

After saying that, the Ancient One didn't explain further and simply stepped into the portal and disappeared.

Luca was left alone in the laboratory, staring blankly.

"No, if you don't want to trade with me, then what are we going to do?"
