Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 76 Luck, Chance Encounter

Unbeknownst to Tony Stark and his team, who were busy with their work, Loki was using the Tesseract more and more frequently because of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s increasing pressure. He was even considering a tentative collaboration with some of the natives on Earth whom he had once looked down upon.

Luca, on the other side, was even less likely to know this.

At this moment, he was happily strolling around the mall.

The reason he was so happy was that after searching for many days, he finally found a brand new item today.

And it just so happens to be the 'Detective Conan World' prop that he has been looking forward to.

[Bow-tie voice changer]

[Detective Conan World 3/5]

[Manufacturer: Professor Agasa]

[Core Component: Red Bow]

[Consumables: 1 miniature battery, 1 small microphone, 1 small sound player]

[Item Description: An ordinary-looking voice-changing bow tie. By rotating the hidden knob inside, it can mimic various different voices. Anyone, regardless of age or gender, who speaks in front of you while wearing the bow tie can have their words recorded and perfectly imitated.]

[Friendly reminder: Using this item can effectively reduce your presence and obscure the direction of your voice, making it difficult for others to notice you even if they are very close!]

That's right, it's the very item that's probably the most frequently used by the Grim Reaper in the Conan world.

Although Luca bought several ill-fitting children's clothes from the children's clothing store in order to get the bow tie, which attracted strange looks from many passersby.

However, he no longer cared much about such trivial matters.

Moreover, this acquisition of the item also made Luca notice another characteristic of the cheat code.

The core component of this [bow voice changer], the 'red bow,' according to the shop assistant, seems to be for easy adjustment of tightness.

The bow tie itself has two drive knobs on the back, one on the left and one on the right.

'It seems that the more similar the item is to the original, the higher the probability of it becoming a core component? No, no, that's obvious. It should be said that the more similar the item is, the fewer crafting materials are needed?'

Yes, perhaps because the bow tie itself has a 'knob', the item description clearly mentions that the 'knob' needs to be rotated, but the crafting materials do not mention the need for similar materials.

'If that's the case, if I want a certain item, and I can create something that's about 70-80% similar, could that directly become a core component, allowing me to add some high-tech features to the item through synthesis?'

The more Luca thought about it, the more likely it seemed, so he immediately wanted to go back and test it. If one attempt failed, he could always find a simpler tool and try mass production.

If Luca could really manufacture the 'core components' on his own, he felt he might be ready to take off immediately.

Fortunately, Luca managed to remain calm.

Mass production, manufacturing props, and even selecting suitable materials for manufacturing are not things that can be accomplished in a short period of time.

It's still early.

After a moment's hesitation, Luca decided to take advantage of his good luck today and browse through other shops.

And as expected.

What happened next seemed to prove that Luca's choice was not wrong.

Not long had passed.

In a rather simply decorated watch shop, Luca spotted that familiar white light again. However, this time, the light seemed to be held by a father and daughter, who were examining it and preparing to pay.

At this moment, Luca didn't care about Samira and Longbow following behind him, and quickly walked to the counter.

However, upon getting closer, Luca realized that he actually knew the father and daughter who were shopping for watches.

"Chief George? What a coincidence to meet him here."

Indeed, the father and daughter standing in front of the watch shop counter, hesitating whether to pay, are none other than New York Police Commissioner George Stacy and his daughter, the famous Gwen Stacy.

Although Luca had never met Gwen in this world, he recognized her at a glance.

At this moment, Gwen seemed to be about the same age as Luca, with bright blonde short hair, and her whole being exuded a youthful and vibrant girlish charm.

However, Chief George, who was standing next to her, seemed to be in a completely different state from his daughter.

Although it was clear that Chief George had taken good care of his appearance and kept a smile on his face because he was shopping with his daughter.

However, his somewhat sunken eye sockets and slightly messy stubble still revealed his undeniable fatigue and haggardness.

'It seems that New York has been giving this bureau chief quite a headache lately.'

As Luca was thinking this, Chief George, who had just heard him greet him, was still somewhat dazed and didn't react.

Instead, Gwen Stacy, who was standing next to him, was the first to turn around and look in their direction.

However, as soon as she saw Luca, she immediately put on a strange expression, and her eyes looked inexplicably odd.

Seeing this, Luca was slightly puzzled and spoke first.

"This young lady must be Chief George's daughter, right? Have we met before?"

Gwen, who was already a little nervous, immediately began to shake her head frantically when she heard Luca's question. At the same time, she quickly took a step back and hid half of her body behind her father.

From the other person's strange gaze, Luca actually detected a hint of fear and 'delight'?
'Did I misread it? Perhaps George, Stacy, and Gwen talked about my past?'

Just as Luca was thinking this, George Stacy, who had come to her senses, took over the conversation, mustered her spirits, and politely returned Luca's greeting.

"So it's Mr. Orange. What a coincidence! What brings you here?"

As she spoke, George Stacy subconsciously glanced at her daughter beside her out of the corner of her eye.

He didn't actually want his daughter to have too much contact with people like Luca.

Leaving aside the fact that this young master of the Orange family once shot and blew up a dump truck.

In fact, George Stacy was aware of the attack on the Orange family mansion a few days ago, and that Mr. Orange, along with his bodyguard, had killed his own uncle who had been 'kidnapped'.

However, the Orange family, their lawyers, and even the Connecticut police all gave the same account of the matter.

The entire process of the case was reasonable and legal. As the New York police chief, who was only one of the locations where the crime occurred, he naturally wouldn't cause trouble for no reason and offend everyone.

At this moment, he simply didn't want his daughter to have anything to do with such troublesome people.

'But about that incident before... sigh, I should have never told Gwen.'
