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

Chapter 16 Scientists are all treasures

"Your Excellency, Baron."

Dr. Lister looked at Baron Strucker, whose smile was growing wider and wider, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.

He didn't know why the Baron wasn't angry or sad when his base, which he had invested so much effort in and managed for so many years, was bombed; instead, he was so happy.

"Dr. Lister, don't be sad. Soon you will have a larger laboratory, better equipment, and everything will be better than before."

Li Chuan looked at the bewildered Dr. Lister and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

Upon hearing this, Dr. Lister's eyes lit up. It turned out that the Baron had already secretly prepared a way out.

"Land right there, on that mountaintop."

Li Chuan looked down to observe the terrain, pointed to the top of a small hill, and gave an order to the Hydra pilot flying the helicopter.

The Hydra pilot nodded quickly and began maneuvering the helicopter down toward the top of the small hill in the distance.

The helicopter came to a stop, and Li Chuan led Dr. Lister and Dr. Smith off the plane. Then, under their horrified and astonished gazes, he swiftly snapped the neck of the Hydra pilot.

He then deactivated the transformation spell, revealing his original appearance.

"Mr. Li Chuan!"

"Who are you? Where is the Baron?"

When Dr. Smith saw Li Chuan, his expression of fear immediately turned to surprise, while Dr. Lister's expression turned to fear.

"Dr. Smith, congratulations, you are saved."

Li Chuan reassured Smith, then turned to look at the terrified Dr. Lister:

"I'm sorry, your Baron has already been blown to pieces after you pressed the self-destruct device. Let me introduce myself again. I am Li Chuan, the president of the Li Group, and also your future boss."

"This...this..."

Dr. Lister looked at Li Chuan, his mouth moved as if he wanted to object, but remembering the pilot whose neck Li Chuan had just broken, he swallowed his words.

He was at the mercy of others, like a fish on a chopping board; if he didn't want to die, he had no choice but to agree.

Seeing that Dr. Lister was sensible and didn't try to scare him further, Li Chuan stepped forward politely and said:

"Dr. Lister, rest assured, as long as you work diligently for me, I can give you everything Hydra can give you, and even more."

Although he didn't know much about the Marvel universe, he knew that the scientists in that world were all formidable individuals, and if used properly, they could be an enormous asset.

Captain America's Super Soldier Serum was created by Dr. Abraham Erskine, Dr. Banner turned himself into the Hulk by researching gamma rays, Doctor Octopus almost created a man-made sun, and there's the Extremis virus, and so on.

The Marvel universe is full of cutting-edge technology, most of which were developed by scientists.

Therefore, if a top-notch team of scientists can be built, it would be excellent for expanding the company's scale through future research products, improving gene therapy agents, or enhancing its own capabilities.

This is why he spared Dr. Lister's life all the way.

To be honest, if a drug could be developed that allows someone to transform into the Hulk while retaining their true self after injection, he would dare to chase and beat up even Kage-level powerhouses in the Naruto world.

"Young Master!"

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out from ahead.

Immediately afterwards, a dozen or so young men dressed in camouflage and carrying various firearms appeared in front of Li Chuan, led by an old man.

It was Uncle Li who had received orders from Li Chuan in advance and was waiting at the foot of the mountain with his men.

"Uncle Li, I'll leave the rest to you. I'm going home now; Wanda is waiting for me to have dinner."

"Yes, young master!"

Seeing that Uncle Li and the others appeared as planned, Li Chuan checked the time, stopped worrying about what would happen next, and drove away first.

Uncle Li was better at this kind of finishing work than he was.

"Five explosive tags, one scroll of the Fireball Technique, one scroll of the Shadow Clone Technique, one sharp longsword, one valuable jade Buddha statue, and one box of 999 Cold Remedies."

As Li Chuan drove towards his villa, he opened his mission item space.

The quest item space is a storage space on the panel. Every time he completes a side quest, the rewards he receives will be sent to this storage space.

He can take out the reward items he gets from the mission at any time, and he can also put them back in, which is very convenient.

However, the downside is that it can only store items that are rewards from missions; other non-mission items cannot be put in. Even when he wrapped the long sword with tape and put it in, the tape would automatically fall off.

If that weren't the case, he wouldn't have needed to swallow the soldier's ration pills and bring them back.

The three items at the very front of your inventory are the rewards you got from completing those three tasks.

"This explosive tag is not bad either."

Of the three mission rewards, the best is undoubtedly the Great Fireball Technique. This is because it's a secret Uchiha ninjutsu, and it's very difficult for anyone outside the Uchiha clan to inherit it.

The Shadow Clone Technique is more useful, but he can easily obtain it once he returns to the Naruto world.

Although it was a B-rank ninjutsu created by the Second Hokage, it was so practical that it spread far and wide, and many ninja villages even made improvements based on it.

They're all pretty much the same, like water clones, earth clones, lightning clones, etc.

What Konoha truly struggles to obtain is the Second Hokage's upgraded A-rank forbidden technique, the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, which can create a large number of shadow clones at once.

However, it consumes too much chakra, and if a ninja with insufficient chakra uses it, it can easily injure their own life.

As for the five explosive tags reward for this last mission, they're really not worth much. With his wealth as the Hokage, he could easily buy a lot more.

In the Marvel universe, the explosive power would be roughly equivalent to that of a hand grenade.

The only advantage is that it's made of paper, so ordinary people wouldn't be wary of it. It's not bad for surprise attacks on enemies.

Moreover, modern detection equipment can hardly detect it.

Before 6 p.m., Li Chuan finally drove back to his villa, but when he parked, he saw another familiar car.

"Is that Pietro?"

Pietro Maximov, his brother-in-law and Wanda's twin brother, was born twelve minutes earlier than Wanda. This black car belongs to Pietro.

After a moment's thought, Li Chuan smiled helplessly. He roughly guessed why Pietro had come over.

Perhaps the Spanish dish, Asturian stew, was too difficult for his wife, whose cooking skills weren't great, so he asked his brother, who was an excellent cook, for help.

"Looks like we'll be able to have a nice dinner tonight."

With Pietro's help, at least the food won't be as salty as it was three months ago in the mornings, which is a good thing.

And since Pietro was here, we could talk about settling down in New York.
