"Tsk, what a little glutton!" Josie raised an eyebrow, took two more peaches from the system warehouse, and teased the little guy.
This is a young silverback gorilla, the largest living primate, which is now considered an extremely endangered species with a population of less than a thousand.
Josie had met it a few days earlier at a market in another small town. The little creature was pitifully locked in a cage with a small white lion.
Josie bought the two little ones because she liked them. They were only twenty pounds, which was incredibly cheap, and Josie was also able to afford to raise them.
After the purchase, the baby gorilla was named King Kong, and the little white lion was named Simba.
Two familiar names.
During his years in this world, Josie had never heard of the legend of Skull Island. However, a movie called King Kong was released in the 30s, just like in the original timeline.
Therefore, in theory, Titans should not exist in this world.
Although gorillas are the largest primates, they are also the most docile. Their diet is mainly vegetarian, and they only eat insects, baby birds, and bird eggs on rare occasions.
They have a huge appetite; an adult gorilla can eat more than 30 kilograms of plants a day.
Perhaps this is why Little King Kong is so clingy, following Josie around all day asking for food.
In contrast, Simba the lion cub is like most felines—relatively aloof.
Except when he's hungry and looks for Josie, he usually finds a corner in the yard to take a nap.
"Boss, Vito and the others are back!" Just as Josie was playing with the gorillas with peaches, a subordinate rushed in to report.
"Finally back!" Upon hearing this, Josie was slightly taken aback, breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't care that King Kong had successfully snatched the peach from her hand. She immediately walked towards the reception room.
"Boss, I have accomplished my mission!" A few minutes later, in the reception room, Vito respectfully placed a box in front of Josie.
"You only have 7 people left?" Josie didn't rush to open the box, but instead frowned and asked the members of this operation behind Vito.
“Yes, our luck was mixed. While searching the heart of Wakanda, we encountered their King Azuri and his royal guard, so we failed to find the exact location of the vibranium mine. We lost five brothers and four Velociraptors, but we did obtain a part of the Black Panther suit and a vibranium spear from the royal guard. Also, on our way out of Wakanda, we encountered two defeated British soldiers, from whom we learned the exact location of Wakanda's capital, Bonin Zana.” Vito recounted his group's experiences in detail.
"Have the bodies of our brothers been disposed of?" Josie nodded and then asked.
“They were all cremated, and the ashes were taken with them! The Velociraptor’s body was also disposed of, leaving no trace,” Vito replied. Returning to one’s roots is not just an Asian custom; basically, Europeans and Americans would do the same if conditions allowed.
Josie nodded again, without saying anything more, and opened the box. Inside lay a black panther armor arm and a piece of back armor, along with a spear.
He picked up the spear and weighed it in his hand. The spear looked like it should be very heavy, but it was actually quite light.
After all, vibranium has a relative density that is only one-third that of iron, and about the same as that of aluminum.
However, its hardness and sharpness are the greatest on Earth.
The vibranium in the movie universe is different from that in the comics; it's not the strongest metal in the universe—as seen in Avengers: Endgame, Captain America's vibranium shield was smashed to pieces by Thanos's giant blade, which speaks volumes.
Besides Thanos's giant blade, Corvus Glaive's weapon is also made of a material more powerful than vibranium—otherwise, it would have been impossible for Vision to pierce through a vibranium body with a single blow.
In addition, infrasound at specific frequencies can also passivate vibranium.
Therefore, vibranium is not as perfect as many people imagine.
But this does not prevent this metal from still being the strongest metal on Earth.
Suddenly, Josie threw the spear at the wall to the side.
The sharp spear pierced through the thick wall as easily as piercing a piece of paper, flying into the courtyard and embedding itself deeply in the ground.
Simba, the lion cub who was sleeping in the shade of the yard, suddenly let out a sharp roar that was very characteristic of a lion cub. The roar was full of fear because the spear had landed less than five centimeters away from him.
If it were even slightly higher, the lion's life would be in danger.
Hearing Simba's terrified roar in the yard, Josie in the living room felt a little embarrassed. He had anticipated the destructive power of the vibranium weapon, but it was purely accidental that he had almost killed his newly bought pet by casually tossing it.
“Now that we’ve achieved our goal, let’s go back. The trouble Wakanda has caused this time won’t end so easily. Africa will be in great chaos from now on, so it’s time to go back!” Josie instructed Vito and the others, signaling one of his men to retrieve the spears.
As the situation in Africa becomes increasingly chaotic, this is no longer a place to stay. It is believed that before long, the intelligence agencies of the United States, Russia, and other countries will also intervene in this region. Josie does not want to stay in the center of this vortex any longer.
Moreover, with a large number of US military-grade equipment appearing in Africa, Britain and France will soon discover the shady dealings involved.
Following these clues, they traced the trail back to Josie and her fellow "American businessmen."
Although Josie wasn't afraid, there was no need for her to confront the opponent head-on.
So it's time for Josie and the others to leave Africa.
Just as Josie had predicted, less than two days after they left, British troops found the compound.
Unfortunately, Josie and her group had already flown back to Austria by then.
Just two days after returning to Austria, Josie received another piece of good news.
"Josie, thank you for your help, we succeeded!" Through the trading device's communication, Elo Partjae excitedly expressed his gratitude to Josie.
It turns out that while Josie was wandering around Africa, Elo Patje, in the torn apocalyptic plane, finally led the resistance army to overthrow the rule of the Church of Jehovah.
Besides the help of the beast-transforming potion provided by Josie, John Preston, the protagonist of the originally torn post-apocalyptic world, also played a significant role.
Yes, unlike in the original storyline, Elo Partjae was easily shot and killed by John Preston.
After obtaining the dimensional trading device, Patjee, after completing a cleanup mission, had his secret of regaining emotions discovered by John Preston.
However, thanks to the beast-transforming potion, Patjee ultimately survived.
On the contrary, John Preston, having failed to kill Patje, faced suspicion upon returning to the church.
Thus, they were gradually forced to rebel.
In this process, John's two children, who had secretly stopped using the Possian potion long ago because of their mother's death, also played a crucial role.
Ultimately, with John as an inside man, Patjee led the resistance army, and together they broke through the Jehovah Church.
Josie didn't really care whether the Jehovah Church was destroyed or not.
However, Patje's success meant that the formula for the Posian potion had been officially obtained—as for the training materials for gunfighting, Josie had already obtained them a month earlier.
"Congratulations, you're free now!" Josie casually congratulated Patje.
After obtaining the formula for the Posian potion, the value of tearing apart the post-apocalyptic world to Josie was greatly reduced, so he was no longer as enthusiastic.
Although he lacked enthusiasm, Josie did a good job of putting on a show. After all, the two sides would have some dealings in the future, and there were still plenty of precious metal resources in the world.
Even a mosquito bite is still meat, and Josie wouldn't mind.
"By the way, Josh, there's one more thing I'd like to ask you for help with!" Just as Josh was about to end the transaction, Patje made a request.
"No need to be so polite, just tell me. I'll definitely help if I can!" Josie said upon hearing this.
“As you know, John and some other former members of the clergy, including myself, were once executioners of the church. So even though we have overthrown the rule of the Jehovah’s Church, we have been largely ostracized. Therefore, John and some others hope to have a new living environment, and you once said that you could provide dimensional migration services!” Patjee said.
Josie immediately understood.
This is a good thing!
The church's former clergy were a truly elite force.
To be honest, if it weren't for the hidden big shots in his universe, Josie would have wanted to take these people in.
Now, it seems only Daenerys and Yuri will benefit.
Here's a 4,000-word chapter to start, and another one will be released this morning.
Chapter 152 The 152nd Jedi Knight
"Lord Josie, is it not possible in your world?" Patje asked, puzzled, after some conversation.
After Patjee proposed immigrating the priesthood led by John Preston, Josie unequivocally recommended the worlds of Daenerys Targaryen and Yuri.
However, after Josie's description, Patjee was not very interested in either of the two worlds.
Because during their transactions with Josie, one of them had already begun to enter a semi-industrial society, while Yuri developed even faster, establishing a nearly semi-modern city on Cretaceous Earth.
However, the former was ultimately a feudal lord society, while the latter had a population smaller than that of the torn apocalypse itself.
In contrast, Patjee believed that the modern society in which Josie lived was more suitable for them.
Josie struggled with this decision.
Was he interested in the priesthood? Absolutely.
But after a fierce internal struggle, Josie decided to give up the idea.
He is still young, and with the Possian potion and the gunfight training manual, it's only a matter of time before he trains his own priesthood.
However, bringing people from other dimensions into one's own world would bring a greater risk of exposing the existence of the trading device.
It seems like a case of losing more than you gain.
"Personally, I would suggest that Lord Yuri's world would be more suitable for you. Don't rush to reject it. Lord Yuri has a time machine. He was only stuck in the Cretaceous world because his energy was exhausted. But now the energy recovery is on the agenda, and returning to the original timeline is only a matter of time. So the problem of inconvenience caused by too few people that you are worried about is actually non-existent!" Josie finally persuaded Patje.
"A time machine? Does such a thing really exist?" Patje's eyes widened when he heard Josie mention a time machine.
“Yes, there is, but I advise you not to get your hands on that thing. It’s not something we can handle!” Seeing Patje’s expression, Josie couldn’t help but advise him.
Yes, a time machine is a good thing, but unless absolutely necessary, Josie doesn't want to touch it and absolutely doesn't want anyone in her world to use it.
The various temporal and spatial instabilities it may cause have already been fully demonstrated in both the Red Alert universe and the Marvel universe itself.
Josie is living a good life, and she has no regrets to make up for in this world. Only a madman would do something like this.
“Alright, I agree!” Seeing Josie’s insistence, Patjee finally agreed to his proposal and agreed to send John Preston and the others to Yuri’s world.
After learning about the situation, Yuri also expressed great interest in these powerful warriors from other dimensions.
