He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 11 Return to Marvel

"Five seconds left, almost there."

After Ji Nai left, Li Chuan looked at the return countdown on the panel, quickly opened the box in front of him, threw a black pill into his mouth, and swallowed it at the last second.

The countdown ended, and after a moment of disorientation, when he opened his eyes again, he was back in his own office in Sokovia.

"come out!"

The first thing he did upon waking was not to be stunned, but to slap his stomach and spit out the black pill he had just swallowed.

"I didn't expect it to actually work."

Looking at the black pills on his desk, still covered in his saliva, Li Chuan's face showed a knowing expression.

According to the panel's instructions, nothing can be carried when traveling between the main world and the smaller worlds; even clothing will be different.

He wore a suit when he was in Marvel, but when he went to become the Hokage, he changed into the clothes of a prince of the Land of Fire.

It seemed there was no loophole to exploit, but Li Chuan still had a sudden inspiration and came up with a little idea.

If he has just finished eating and is in the process of digesting his food while traveling between worlds, then you can't isolate the food in his stomach from his body, can you?

With this in mind, he asked Ji Nai to buy a soldier's ration pill in advance, and then ate it before returning.

To confuse the system, he deliberately ate a lot of other normal food before taking the soldier's ration pills.

As expected, things turned out the way he thought; the panel did not forcibly expel the food he had already eaten, allowing him to vomit it out again upon his return.

Soldier pills are a type of special food and medicine that ninjas always carry with them during missions and battles.

It can not only quickly restore chakra and stamina, but also serve as a very good way to satisfy hunger.

Li Chuan brought the Soldier's Ration Pill to Marvel so that his company's scientists could analyze its ingredients and, like with the previous research on the Enhancement Cream, create a replica and a simplified version suitable for sale to the general public.

Even if the counterfeit product isn't as effective as the soldier's ration pill, it's like having an extra temporary chakra and stamina boost when he's fighting in this world.

The simplified version removes the chakra recovery effect, retaining only the stamina recovery and hunger relief effects, and can even be operated as two new products.

If done well, it might help him open up the market in New York this time.

The specifics of how to operate and promote it are to be handled by the company's professionals; he's not particularly good at those things.

"Six, have Dr. Smith come to your office."

After wiping the ration pills with a tissue and putting them away, Li Chuan pressed the phone on the table and gave instructions to Xiao Liu outside the office.

Xiao Liu is one of Li Chuan's subordinates cultivated over the past few years. On the surface, he is Li Chuan's male secretary, but in reality, he is secretly protecting Li Chuan's safety.

Although he was a powerful martial artist, he could not withstand modern firearms. When facing professional assassins, especially if there were many of them, he needed his subordinates to help him.

Dr. Smith was a well-known biology PhD whom Li Chuan poached from the UK at a high price.

The company's best-selling and most profitable health supplement, Dali Wan, is a product that Smith replicated by researching and analyzing the strengthening ointment provided by Li Chuan.

The strengthening ointment is applied to the whole body to improve physical strength, and its effects are even better when used in standing meditation and breathing exercises.

The strengthening ointment played a significant role in Li Chuan's ability to recover his physical peak from his previous life within three years.

While the "power pills" cannot achieve such good results, long-term use can slightly improve physical strength and make the body stronger.

Of course, compared to the long-term health benefits of the "power pill," it also has a short-term effect that is immediately noticeable after consumption.

It is precisely this effect that has made it so popular, even selling overseas and generating huge profits for the company.

That is, within half an hour of taking it, even if you are an impotent patient, even if you are over fifty years old, you can become a virile man in bed and conquer all sides.

However, you should only take one pill a day at most, otherwise your body will not be able to handle it afterwards.

"Boss, Dr. Smith called to say he's not feeling well today and has taken three days off."

Xiao Liu replied over the phone.

Li Chuan frowned slightly upon hearing this:

"Send a few people to Dr. Smith's house to investigate."

Taking three days off at once is not something that old man Smith would do. That guy would rather stay in the lab 24 hours a day without rest.

As the company grew, it was inevitable that some people's interests would be affected. Although he dealt with them all with swift and decisive measures, it was always better to be cautious than to make a big mistake.

Half an hour later, a robust young man respectfully reported to Li Chuan:

"Boss, Third Brother just took some men to Dr. Smith's house, but the doctor wasn't there. There were signs of outsiders entering and leaving the house, so we can preliminarily conclude that the doctor may have been kidnapped."

"There's no one in Sokovia who dares to touch my people!"

Li Chuan narrowed his eyes and gave an order to the young man in front of him:

"Xiao Liu, notify Uncle Li and tell him to use all his connections to investigate. He must find Dr. Smith and find out who did it."

To the average person, Li Chuan is Sokovia’s biggest philanthropist, but to some high-ranking officials in Sokovia, everyone knows he is a real man-eating lion.

Those who dared to target the "power pill" product, in particular, are now completely wiped out.

"Yes, boss!"

Xiao Liu nodded and then respectfully withdrew.

After carefully putting the ration pills into his pocket, Li Chuan stroked his chin and muttered to himself:

"It couldn't be you guys, could it?"

"Ding-dong, a new side quest has appeared nearby, please check it out!"

Just as Li Chuan was pondering, he suddenly heard a panel notification sound. He quickly opened the panel and checked the newly appeared side quest.

Mission: Rescue Dr. Smith, who has been kidnapped by Hydra.

Reward: Five detonating tags.

Mission: Kill Baron Strucker at Hydra's base

Reward: C-rank ninjutsu - Fire Release: Great Fireball.

Mission: Eliminate the Hydra base in Sokovia.

Reward: Rank B Ninjutsu—Shadow Clone Technique.

"It really was those Hydra guys who did it!"

Upon seeing the newly appeared side quest, Li Chuan's expression turned cold.

He had always known that there was a secret Hydra base in the mountains outside Sokovia. He also knew that many Hydra agents were among the high-ranking officials in the Sokovian government.

Previously, they had kept to themselves and didn't want to provoke each other, so he pretended not to know anything.

In retrospect, it seems that the long-term effects of the "power pills" gradually became apparent, arousing the other party's interest, which led to the kidnapping of the company's chief scientist, Dr. Smith.

Hydra has always been an organization dedicated to researching super soldiers and superhumans.
