The only player in the Marvel universe

Chapter 40 Are you here to apply for a researcher position or a combatant?
Ivan died very suddenly, even somewhat hastily.

Before Tony and Roddy could react, he had already collapsed.

"It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early."

Du Mu walked over from a distance, shaking his head and sighing.

I wonder what kind of quirk these people in steel armor have.

Despite the high defensive capabilities of their steel armor, they all seem to prefer talking with their helmets open.

He had just arrived at the scene following the map markers when he saw Ivan sticking his head out and reciting his lines.

Who can bear this?
Without hesitation, Du Mu decisively drew his gun and fired.

And that's how the scene just now unfolded.

Poor Ivan, a supervillain, had less screen time than the steel soldiers he created.

The cause of death was not wearing a helmet!

Tony and Roddy's lips twitched slightly as they looked at Ivan's dead body.

They secretly vowed that from now on, as long as they were wearing armor, they would never take off their helmets!
Just as Du Mu walked up to Ivan, the system's voice rang out.

You have successfully defeated the BOSS 'Whiplash' Ivan Vanko!

[Start calculating damage rewards.]

[Rewards are as follows: 10000 experience points, 5 free attribute points, equipment 'Whiplash Armor', skill 'Silent Step', item 'Ladder for Free Access', item 'Never-Ending Torch', item 'Unconventional Wig']

[Equipment: Whiplash Armor (A steel armor crafted by Ivan Vanko, equipped with two powerful energy whips. Its drawback is the lack of a helmet, making it vulnerable to attacks from certain "old coins." Note: The built-in self-destruct system has been removed; please use it with confidence.)]

[Skill: Silent Step (When activated, your movements will be silent)]

[Item: Ladder (With this ladder, you can enter any area without encountering any obstacles)]

[Item: An Everlasting Torch (a pixel-style torch with flames that never go out)]

[Item: Unconventional Wig (Wearing it will reduce the number of enemies you see by half, greatly increasing your courage)]

The next second, Ivan's whip armor suddenly disappeared.

Du Mu was speechless for a while.

Wow, you're doing on-site reporting, huh?

Seeing Tony and Roddy looking at him, Du Mu immediately explained, "Don't look at me, I didn't do it."

"Just say so."

Tony chuckled, becoming even more convinced that Du Mu had stolen his reactor last time.

As an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., there are basically no holidays.

Whenever you have free time, there's always a slave owner around urging you to work.

Although the slave owner was a black man.

Du Mu was watching a Batman movie at home when he received a call from Nick Fury.

“Agent Du Mu, I need you to infiltrate the Osborn Corporation to investigate Norman Osborn’s secret experiments in cooperation with the military.”

Mission: Investigate the Osborn Corporation

[Objective: Infiltrate the Osborn Corporation to investigate Chairman Norman Osborn's secret experiments in collaboration with the military]

[Rewards: 1000 experience points, 20 S.H.I.E.L.D. reputation, 1 random item]

Du Mu asked curiously, "Why not Black Widow? Isn't she better at undercover work?"

Nick Fury explained, "I've assigned Agent Romanov other tasks, and Norman Osborn is an old man, not like Tony Stark. Anyway, this task is yours."

Du Mu understood.

Norman Osborn was old and frail, immune to Natasha's seductive charms, and not as easy to approach as Tony.

Osborn Corporation, the largest biotechnology company in the United States, has a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars.

Of course, biotechnology is only the main business of the Osborne Group. The Osborne Group has also achieved remarkable success in many other fields such as military, energy, and industry.

Looking across the entire United States, only Tony Stark Industries can rival it.

Du Mu drove to the Osborne Building. It must be said, Nick Fury's car was indeed excellent, especially the air conditioning system—it was incredibly comfortable!

This person really knows how to enjoy life!
Du Mu mentally grumbled as he strode into the Osborne Building.

Guided by the receptionist, he quickly found the Osborne Group's recruitment office.

"Is this your resume?"

The Osborne Group recruiter looked at Du Mu's resume with a look of shock on his face.

"Doom, male, an outstanding graduate of MIT, with a PhD, specializing in biochemistry, genetics, gene engineering, close combat, firearms, and stealth. Uh, are you sure you're here to apply for a research position?"

The recruiters were stunned.

Are you here to apply for a research fellow position or a combatant position?!

"Yes."

Du Mu nodded.

As a resume for recruitment, the more exaggerated the better, since it's information fabricated by S.H.I.E.L.D., the other party can't tell if it's true or false.

As he expected, the recruiters verified the resumes and found that they were indeed genuine.

The recruiter exclaimed, "Wow, your resume is incredible! I'm surprised we've never heard of you before."

Du Mu said, "It's normal that I haven't heard of it. I've always been a low-key person."

"Congratulations, you have been hired by the Osborne Group."

Without much thought, the recruiter hired Du Mu and made him start as an assistant.

But Du Mu was not willing: "I don't want to be an assistant. I need an independent laboratory to continue my research project."

"What project?"

Du Mu took out a bottle of red potion from his pocket; it was the life-saving potion he had given to Blade.

"This is what I've been researching: the potion of life. One sip will refresh you, two sips will keep you tireless forever, and three sips will grant you immortality. Well, I can't do that, but it can cure most diseases."

Hearing the sales pitch sound like it was for fake medicine, the recruiter asked suspiciously, "Are you sure it's really that miraculous?"

"Of course, if you don't hire me, I'll go to Stark Industries next door. Tony Stark, that mustachioed guy, would be very willing to take me in."

Upon hearing this, the recruiter immediately became serious and said, "Wait a moment, I need to ask for instructions."

As he spoke, he immediately picked up the phone and contacted his superior.

Not long after, an older man in a suit walked into the room.

"Oh, Mr. Osborne?"

The job applicant was shocked; how did they end up hiring their own boss?

Norman ignored him, his eyes fixed on Du Mu and the life potion in his hand.

"You mean, this stuff can cure most diseases?"

[NPC: Norman Osborn]

Codename: Green Goblin

【Favourability: 0】

[Review: Marvel Goblin, Spider-Man's nemesis, and one of Peter's uncles]

[Status: Suffering from a hereditary disease, with little time left]

"That's right!"

Looking at Norman's information, Du Mu chuckled and added, "Even if it can't cure terminal illnesses, it can effectively alleviate symptoms for hereditary diseases, allowing patients to return to a healthy state. Continued use can free them from the torment of illness."

Hearing this, Norman seemed to see a glimmer of hope, but he remained outwardly calm.

"Can I send this bottle for testing?"

"of course can."
