The only player in the Marvel universe.

Chapter 323 Friend System, Chat Group

Although the human in front of me is sharp-tongued, vengeful, treacherous, and despicable.

However, Hei Kong had to admit that the other person's physique was indeed outstanding, far superior to Erica's, and they were not even in the same league.

More importantly, this guy, who was clearly a sorcerer from Kamar-Taj, was as clean as a blank sheet of paper, without the slightest trace left by a dimensional demon.

It's important to know that in the world of mages, almost no one can avoid getting involved with dimensional demons.

When they cast spells, they often have to sacrifice themselves to borrow the power of dimensional demons. Their bodies or souls will then be tainted by the demon's aura, as if they have been given a label that says "this thing has an owner."

Other demons could tell at a glance that someone had already reserved it, and they usually didn't bother to try and snatch it, to avoid any potential conflicts.

But Du Mu was different.

He was clean and tidy, without a trace of any demonic aura from any dimension, and didn't look like a mage at all.

Hei Kong became more and more excited as he thought about it.

Isn't this the perfect, ideal container?!

He wasn't targeted by demons from other dimensions, and his physical abilities were so strong.

If he could seize Du Mu's body, he could bring more of his power to Earth, and he could also stay on Earth openly and legitimately using Du Mu's identity, unlike the current vessel which was smuggled in. Even if the Sorcerer Supreme investigates, he might not be able to find anything unusual.

Since his vessel was already at its limit, he might as well take a gamble rather than fail like this.

"Let's give it our all!"

A greedy glint flashed in Hei Kong's eyes. Ignoring his collapsing body, he forcibly stopped his self-repair.

He grabbed Du Mu's arm, and black energy surged out like a floodgate being opened, continuously flowing towards Du Mu.

The next second, a notification sound rang in Du Mu's mind.

[NPC Black Sky voluntarily offers you Beast Power. Do you accept?]

Du Mu raised an eyebrow and instantly guessed Hei Kong's thoughts, his expression becoming somewhat subtle.

Is this demon out of his mind?

Without even thinking, he clicked "accept".

【属性：力量104→105，敏捷63→64，体质63→64，精神63→64】

The moment Du Mu accepted, all of his attributes began to soar rapidly.

Du Mu's breath hitched, and he quickly withdrew the energy output from his eyes, feigning a terrified expression: "Damn it! What do you want to do?"

Hei Kong was completely oblivious to what was wrong and laughed arrogantly: "You destroyed my vessel, so you'll pay with your body!"

""

"Damn it! Stop it!"

Du Mu raised his voice, channeling his inner actor, his voice carrying three parts fear, three parts panic, and four parts terror.

"Hahaha, give up the struggle!"

Seeing Du Mu's reaction, Hei Kong became even more smug and immediately accelerated the speed of energy invasion, pouring all his remaining power into Du Mu's body.

Once my power successfully enters Du Mu's body, I can completely control Du Mu's body, just like I control this current vessel.

Under the infusion of black energy, Du Mu's body was emanating black mist, and he began to tremble violently, as if he were desperately resisting.

"Wait, no..."

'

"Hahaha, it's too late to beg for mercy now!"

"No, no, don't stop!"

"???"

Hei Kong suddenly sensed something was wrong.

After his power was poured into Du Mu's body, there was no reaction at all. It was as if he had been sucked into a black hole and disappeared without a trace.

Buhou, you've fallen for their trap!

Hei Kong's heart skipped a beat. He reacted instantly and desperately tried to withdraw his power, but it was too late.

His warm energy was completely transformed into cold, hard numbers on Du Mu's attribute panel, leaving nothing behind.

"How could this happen!?"

Hei Kong's expression froze instantly; this wasn't quite the scenario he had imagined.

Seeing that Hei Kong had stopped, Du Mu urged, "Keep going! Why did you stop?"

"Continue my ass! His strength has been completely drained, not a single drop left!"

The black air erupted in fury: "You cunning human, you've deceived me!"

Seeing this, Du Mu stopped pretending and said cheerfully, "I didn't lie to you. You gave me your strength willingly."

"asshole!!"

The black air made him tremble all over.

He was tricked by that bald-headed sorcerer once, lending out his power and never getting it back.

He never expected that he would fall into the same pit twice, and this time he even jumped in on his own initiative.

Hei Kong wanted to curse a few more times, but his power had been completely absorbed by Du Mu, and he couldn't maintain his basic shape at all.

Seeing that there was nothing left to squeeze out of Hei Kong, Du Mu grinned and said, "To thank you for your generous gift, I'll send you back to your hometown."

""

Where else could Black Sky's hometown be but Hell, of course!

Before Hei Kong could reply, Du Mu unleashed a dazzling light from his chest and charged up to unleash his power!

The energy beam enveloped Hei Kong completely. Without the support of power, his body gradually dissipated within the energy beam.

"No--!"

Black Sky let out a roar of unwilling anger.

As expected, his body completely dissipated under the destruction of the energy beam.

Du Mu looked at his personal panel.

[Attributes: Strength 111, Agility 70, Constitution 70, Spirit 70]

Thanks to Black Sky's generous contribution, his attributes surged, increasing by more than twenty points.

This is incredibly lucrative!

Du Mu was both surprised and delighted, thinking to himself, "No wonder the Ancient One often borrowed money from those dimensional demons; it's practically a risk-free business!"

Unfortunately, this approach cannot be imitated.

Firstly, those dimensional demons aren't easy targets. Aside from Black Void, who practically offered himself up, they wouldn't just lend you their power.

Secondly, the reason why the Ancient One could act as a deadbeat was because she was tough enough, and she must have other trump cards up her sleeve, so she wasn't afraid of the dimensional demons settling scores with her later.

If any other mage dared to do this, they'd probably be buried with grass several meters tall by now.

Just then, the system's voice sounded again.

Mission: The Five Shadows' Scheme - Completed!

[Reward: Level 9 S.H.I.E.L.D. (Hydra) Agent Qualification]

Your S.H.I.E.L.D. (Hydra) privileges have been upgraded to Level 9.

[New feature modules unlocked!]

[Function 1: The employment system is now activated]

[Function 2: Interactive System is now activated]

[Hiring System: You can hire NPCs to help you accept or complete tasks]

[Interactive System: You can add NPCs as friends, send private messages, create chat groups, send location information, etc.]

It's like a pillow coming to someone who's sleepy.

Du Mu was worried that he had to go to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters every day to report to the X-Team, get daily tasks, and then go back to report in person. It was too much of a waste of time to go back and forth like that.

Now that he has the employment system, he can simply leave these things to the X team to handle themselves. No matter where he is, he can still get the rewards for daily tasks.

As for the interaction system, this feature is common in other games, but it is mostly used in multiplayer games to interact with other players.

It's quite rare to see someone interact with an NPC in a game like this.

After dealing with the Black Sky, Du Mu put away his Ultron armor and walked over to the group of superheroes who had been watching the show for a while.

Daniel looked at Du Mu cautiously: "Are you alright?"

Du Mu waved his hand: "It's nothing."

Daniel looked at Du Mu, who was covered in black mist, and saw that he looked almost as big as Luke Cage.

This doesn't look like anything's wrong.

Knowing that Daniel was worried about being influenced by the power of the Black Void, Du Mu explained, "Don't worry, I am filled with a sense of justice, and this evil power cannot affect my will."

'

""

Those present didn't quite believe it.

Rather than this, they preferred to believe that it was Du Mu's evil that suppressed this force.

However, Du Mu did not seem to be under control, so they were somewhat relieved.

Anyone present could turn evil, but Du Mu was the only one who couldn't.

They had all witnessed Du Mu's strength just now. If something happened to him, all of them combined wouldn't be enough to defeat him alone.

Du Mu didn't care what they thought. He glanced around at everyone present and first looked at Jessica: "I feel like we get along quite well. How about we add each other as friends?"

Luke Cage's face turned green on the spot, thinking that Du Mu had some feelings for Jessica.

He wouldn't need to worry about anyone else, since Jessica's strength is beyond what ordinary people can withstand, but Du Mu's physique is clearly not within that range.

However, Du Mu didn't just focus on Jessica; he sent friend requests to everyone present.

The group didn't know what Du Mu was up to, but they still agreed, even Frank, who always looked unapproachable, didn't refuse.

After all, Du Mu was someone in a higher position, with official status. Perhaps he could inquire with the other party to see if his wife and children were in that position, and if so, see if he could ask someone to help take care of them.

Soon, Du Mu's friend list was filled with the names of superheroes, all of whom were online and could be clicked to view their detailed information.

Out of curiosity, Du Mu sent Matt a private message.

"Are you there?"

Matt paused for a moment, then asked Du Mu, "Was that you speaking?"

Du Mu did not answer directly, but instead sent another message in the private chat: "It's me. I'll try out the new ability."

Matt frowned.

He clearly felt that Du Mu's mouth did not move, but the voice did appear in his mind.

Then, a picture suddenly appeared in his mind.

In the photo, he lies in Luke Cage's arms like a submissive wife, while Jessica stands beside him, covering her face and crying like a helpless wife.

This is one of the silly photos Du Mu took after defeating them.

Matt's face darkened: "What kind of photo is this? Delete it right now!"

But he quickly came to his senses.

I'm not blind, so why can I see the photos?

Upon hearing Matt's words, Du Mu thought to himself that this function was quite something, as even blind people could see the pictures directly.

He was quite satisfied with it.

This is equivalent to having a simple telepathic channel, so you can save on eye contact and just send messages secretly.

News of Hell's Kitchen spread quickly.

Many people witnessed Du Mu and Hei Kong fighting that night, and the news spread throughout most of New York overnight.

Some people say they saw angels and demons fighting. The angels couldn't win at first, but then they put on high-tech armor and completely overpowered the demons.

When the news spread, many people's first reaction was emotion.

What the hell?

Angels wearing high-tech armor?

Has Paradise become this cyberpunk now?

The incident caused an uproar on major online platforms, with continuous discussions.

"Holy crap, angels and demons really exist?"

"Is that guy in the armor really an angel? He looks like a relative of Iron Man to me."

"Could it be that the angels are aliens, and the armor is actually alien technology?"

"You're all missing the point. The point is, there really are demons in Hell's Kitchen!"

The gangsters in Hell's Kitchen also received the news and cowered away, afraid to show their faces, lest the angel boss pass by, take a dislike to them, and instantly kill them with a single basic attack.

The underground world of Hell's Kitchen was unusually quiet for a while.

But another group of people rushed in like they were on steroids.

A large number of outsiders suddenly appeared on the streets of Hell's Kitchen, all in search of the mysterious angel.

This is a chance to go to heaven; who wouldn't want to try?

Du Mu himself, who was at the center of the storm, didn't take these things to heart at all.

He teleported to several places, even back to the X-Men universe, and added almost everyone he knew to his contacts.

My friend list went from just a handful of friends to a huge, densely packed string of them.

There are all kinds of people.

Superheroes, gods, mutants, and even a few who aren't human.

In terms of the richness of his friend list, probably no one can compare to Du Mu.

After adding him as a friend, Du Mu began to explore the chat group function.

He opened the interactive interface, clicked "Create Group Chat," and found that he could invite friends to join the chat group at will without any restrictions.

Du Mu glanced at his friends list and suddenly noticed something interesting. He immediately pulled two friends into the chat group.

Pietro Maximov has joined the chat group.

Pietro Maximov has joined the chat group.

Pietro: ? ? ?

Pietro: ? ? ?

The two Pietros stared blankly at the semi-transparent chat interface in front of them.

Especially Quicksilver from X-Men, who lived in a much earlier timeline, didn't even have a smartphone, let alone chat groups, so he had no idea what this was.

However, Du Mu posted the basic instructions for using the chat group in the group announcement. Quicksilver read it twice and roughly understood what it was for.

But he soon realized something was wrong.

Pietro: Who are you? How come your name is exactly the same as mine?

Pietro: I should be asking you that question. Why do you have the same name as me?

Pietro: Funny, that's been my name since I was a kid. Pietro: Coincidentally, me too. Pietro:

Pietro:

Just as the two Pietros were completely bewildered, Du Mu appeared.

Du Mu: Let me explain to you. You are the same person from different worlds, both named Pietro Maximov, both codenamed Quicksilver, and both possess the ability of high-speed movement. It's just that you live in different universes and experience different things.

Pietro: ? ? ?

Pietro: ? ? ?

Both of them were dumbfounded. The silly guy opposite them was actually themselves from another world?

This was a lot of information; it took both Pietros several seconds to process it.

However, since they were both naturally easygoing and the words came from Du Mu, they quickly accepted the situation.

After accepting, the two Pietros became interested and started chatting.

To make them easier to distinguish, they changed their names: Marvel's Pietro used his original name, while X-Men's Pietro used Quicksilver.

The two chatted for a while and gradually figured out each other's backgrounds.

Quicksilver: So, you've been locked up in Hydra's base and trained every day?

Pietro: Yes. Quicksilver: Sigh, me too. I have to train every day. Pietro: Oh? You also have to undergo ability training?

Hearing this, Pietro felt much better; at least someone else was in the same boat as him.

Quicksilver: Huh? No, no, I'm not training for abilities.

Pietro: Then what should we practice?

Quicksilver: Image Management Training for Superheroes.

Pietro: ? ? ?

Quicksilver: Now I'm a newly launched superhero from Marvel, with hundreds of thousands of fans. I have to manage my image well. Every day is either training or doing commercial activities. My powers are completely useless; I can only use them to count money. It's so boring! I really envy you for being able to train your powers, Pietro.
