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

Chapter 122 The Ancient One's Visit (Third Update)

"I'm back!"

In the evening, when Li Chuan Apparated back home, Wanda was using cooking magic to prepare dinner.

He doesn't always take Wanda with him on missions. He only takes her with him when there are events that might involve combat, so as to help her gain practical experience.

He usually handles tasks like finding cats and dogs, putting out fires, and rescuing people all by himself, and most of the time he only appears briefly, solving the problem with a single spell. He avoids showing his face whenever possible.

Even so, he and Wanda have made the news many times in just one week.

At first, people didn't believe in their existence. After all, so far, the only real superhero is Tony, and Tony is involved in technology, which everyone can accept.

But what Li Chuan and Wanda used was magic, including some of the ninjutsu Li Chuan used, which, in the eyes of New Yorkers, was also magic.

Magic is something that normal people believe is impossible, has no scientific basis, and is absurd.

So at first everyone thought it was a rumor, that the magic used some high-tech products, and that the photos and videos were composites, processed like movies.

It wasn't until later, when more and more people witnessed Li Chuan and Wanda using magic in real life, that people had no choice but to believe that magic really existed.

After dinner, Wanda handed a flyer to Li Chuan.

"This afternoon, Mei brought little Peter here to play and gave me this card, asking if we wanted to go with them tomorrow. Apparently, it's going to be very lively."

Li Chuan took the flyer and looked at it.

The image above is the cover photo of the giant open-air exhibition hall in Queens, with the caption:

"Hammer Industries' new product showcase features groundbreaking inventions, including land, sea, and air combat robots. A grand fireworks display will conclude the event. Everyone is welcome to visit!"

"A big fireworks display? Let's go check it out!"

He originally didn't plan to attend Hammer Industries' new product showcase, and he had Jack throw the official invitation letter from Hammer Industries into the trash.

He knew that the fight between Ivan Vanko and Tony Stark would definitely cause chaos on the scene, and Jack and his group might be affected.

Moreover, he was busy completing tasks to earn time in the small world, so he didn't have the time.

However, he could clearly see the expectation in Wanda's eyes, so after thinking about it, he agreed.

Although we may not be able to see the official fireworks display, we will definitely see the robot explosion fireworks, which will be a unique fireworks show.

"Great, I'll call Mei back. She's still waiting for my reply."

Upon hearing that Li Chuan had agreed, Wanda immediately turned around and started making a phone call.

At this moment, Li Chuan also opened the panel as usual and checked the tasks on the side panel.

"I thought it wasn't there, but it turns out it was just a little late."

When he turned to the last page, he quickly saw a newly refreshed task, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Tomorrow at nine o'clock, stop the robot riot at the Hammer Industries exhibition. The reward is thirty days of Small World time."

For any slightly famous event, the panel will basically issue a corresponding task; this is a pattern that Li Chuan himself summarized.

However, there hadn't been any updates on the Hammer industrial robot demonstration task for the past two days, and he thought he had made a mistake in his summary, but it turned out he was just a little late.

However, this also made him sigh that the rewards were indeed different depending on the difficulty of the task.

He spent the entire week working non-stop to complete a large number of side quests, and as a result, the total time spent on all the small world quests he had accumulated was only a month.

As a result, this one task earned him a month's worth of rewards.

But thinking about it, it's understandable. His usual opponents in missions were just ordinary people with guns, complete weaklings, while this time he was facing a fully armed robot.

If you add up all the enemies he's encountered this week, they probably wouldn't be enough to withstand a few shots from those robots at the exhibition.

The difficulty levels are naturally on completely different levels.

"Ding-dong! Ding-dong!"

Just as Wanda finished her call and Li Chuan closed the panel, the doorbell rang.

"Is this Pietro's turn?"

Wanda turned and walked towards the door.

"They're here."

It's already 9:30, and normally no one would come looking for them this late, except for Pietro's brother.

As she walked to the door and opened it, a middle-aged woman, dressed in a bright yellow robe resembling a monk's robe, appeared before Wanda.

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

Wanda looked puzzled.

The bald woman gave a gentle smile.

"My name is Gu Yi. I want to talk to you and your husband because there are some things I want to discuss with you."

"The Ancient One?"

Li Chuan, who was sitting on the living room sofa, twitched his ears and suddenly stood up.

"The Ancient One actually came. Why? Is it because Wanda and I have been casting spells in front of everyone lately, and she's come to warn us, or does she have some other purpose?"

Li Chuan's expression shifted between light and shadow, but he quickly regained his composure and said to Wanda at the door:

"Wanda, since you're a guest, please come in and have a seat. We can talk about it after we're seated."

In fact, with Li Chuan's current strength, he has basically nothing to fear from S.H.I.E.L.D., Hydra, and government agencies. As long as they don't go too far, he can't be bothered with them.

What he truly feared were alien civilizations far surpassing Earth's, such as Asgard, the realm of gods, as well as various pantheons, celestial groups, dimensional demons, and Kamartai, the largest mage organization on Earth.

The Ancient One is the leader of Kamar-Taj, the Sorcerer Supreme who has lived for over five hundred years. She is an extremely powerful being who can intercept and repel demons from various dimensions and never returns the power she borrows from them.

With Li Chuan's current strength, he absolutely cannot win; he can't even think about escaping.

She is also the guardian of the Time Stone, one of the Primal Stones of the Universe.

He hadn't expected the Ancient One to visit him, because in his view, although the Ancient One was powerful, she was also very lazy. Unless there was a crisis that would destroy the world, she was basically either lying down in Kamar-Taj or in one of the various sanctuaries.

Even during the Battle of New York, when a large number of aliens invaded Earth, the Ancient One only symbolically killed some aliens that approached the Sanctuary, and ignored the rest.

They shouldn't be looking for them because they used magic, especially since they were doing good deeds with magic.

However, since it was a formal visit by ringing the doorbell instead of opening a portal to take them back to Kamar-Taj for trial, it probably wasn't too serious.

It was only when he thought of this that he was able to calm himself down.
