Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

Before the captain could finish speaking, he manually muted his microphone. Even as the captain forcibly muted himself, Falcon seemed to hear the captain still muttering something.

Seeing the utterly terrified expression on the captain's face, Falcon was filled with even more questions. He couldn't quite tell whether the captain in front of him was the legendary moral exemplar, or the captain with such poor character who was now standing before him.

After a long silence, Falcon took a deep breath to suppress his anger at the captain's insulting words and asked the captain with a serious expression.

"Captain, what exactly is going on? What are you trying to say?"

Chapter 328 The Birth of a Quality Captain (Part 3)

Ten minutes later, on a bench next to the park, Falcon looked at the notebook in his hand with a complicated expression, then at the captain sitting next to him with a sincere expression, but with his mouth practically glued shut with tape.

Good news! After some thought, the captain successfully found the bug in Sherlock's Elixir.

The bad news is that even though the bug allowed for normal communication, the team leader felt his reasoning was utterly absurd, despite the fact that what he said was true.

After a while, Falcon took a deep breath and pointed to the notebook that the captain had just taken out of the side compartment of his motorcycle.

"So, it's because you took the hair growth pill prepared for you by the alchemist that it caused a side effect, making your mouth think for itself. It's like your mouth is coated with honey, and the words you utter are completely beyond your control. When you open your mouth, you utter beautiful and melodious swear words?"

Upon hearing Falcon's question, the captain nodded frantically to Falcon with a sincere expression, even though Falcon's description was a little sarcastic, it was harmless.

In order to convince Falcon that he wasn't just making up some ridiculous excuse, he even took off his hat and showed Falcon his bizarre hairstyle, which he had created using a whole bottle of hairspray.

If he weren't unable to speak, the captain would have even sworn to the heavens in front of Falcon that he was absolutely not a racist and that those words, which were a prime example of racism, were not what he truly meant to say!

Seeing the captain's incredibly sincere eyes, Falcon, though speechless, still nodded and returned the notebook to the captain.

"Alright, that's a good enough reason!"

On the contrary, the captain's sincerity turned into surprise after hearing Falcon's words. He quickly wrote something in his notebook and showed it to Falcon.

"You believe it?"

However, the captain quickly realized that his words seemed somewhat ambiguous, so he quickly took back his notebook and added a sentence on it.

"No, I mean, do you really believe my explanation?"

Seeing that the captain's explanation, which seemed to be getting worse due to his anxiety and the fact that he could only communicate through text, Falcon's lips twitched involuntarily. He waved to the anxious captain before speaking.

"Alright, don't rush me, Captain. I understand what you're trying to say."

Although this reason seems incredibly absurd, I genuinely believe your explanation. After all, since the Battle of New York, your Avengers have attracted almost the entire world's attention.

The military, of course, wouldn't let you off the hook. They've already secretly conducted psychological and threat assessments on you all, which naturally included an assessment of the alchemist's personality.

At this point, Falcon paused as if he had remembered something interesting, and with a knowing smile that any man would understand, he continued to speak to the captain.

"In the military's psychological evaluation, the most impressive assessment of that mysterious and powerful alchemist, which was as thick as a book, was just one sentence."

A despicable, logically consistent, and intensely morbidly horrible pervert!

After hearing Falcon's reply, the captain looked at the mocking smile on Falcon's face and subconsciously recalled the combat suits he and Natasha wore on the battlefield—suits that could practically be described as sexy.

The captain immediately covered his face in exasperation. Damn it, his glorious image, which he had maintained for over seventy years, collapsed overnight because of meeting Sherlock!

Would you consider this a prime example of someone who falls in love at first sight and is doomed for life?

More importantly, damn it, the combat outfits that he and Natasha wore are still top-tier on Pixiv, and the captain even found replicas of their outfits in the adult product sections of supermarkets and stores.

Moreover, not only offline, but also online, the sales of their own and Natasha's battle outfits remain high!

God knows how much the captain wanted to die when he saw the offline and online sales figures for this thing! Of course, it's not much better now either.

Especially after the captain learned that the whole world had evaluated him back then, his biggest wish now is to confirm that he really died and came to hell, rather than being resurrected by S.H.I.E.L.D.

What's the difference between this and publicly broadcasting yourself defecating?

Seeing the captain's colorless, ashen appearance, Falcon knew exactly what the captain was thinking. He patted the captain's shoulder with amusement and tried his best to 'comfort' the captain while suppressing his laughter.

"Don't be too sad, Captain. At least you have to admit that alchemists have really good taste. Even now, the fact that your and Black Widow's suits are still in style is the best proof!"

As soon as Falcon finished speaking, the captain completely lost his composure, while Falcon burst into laughter.

To put it simply, the slight resentment Falcon felt at being insulted by the captain vanished instantly, leaving only a feeling of exhilaration.

Hearing Falcon's hearty laughter, the captain really had an urge to remove the seal on his mouth and let Falcon face reality!

You big-eyed bastard with thick eyebrows, you didn't even think about letting me go!

Fortunately, the ringing of his cell phone at that moment saved Falcon's life. After the captain took out his phone and saw the mission information sent by S.H.I.E.L.D., a smile finally appeared on his face.

The mission was sent by Black Egg: a S.H.I.E.L.D. cargo ship has been hijacked by Hydra, and Black Egg is asking Captain America to rescue the S.H.I.E.L.D. members on board.

Looking at the task sent to his phone, the captain, who had felt hopeless about life, suddenly felt hopeful again.

Well, while my sharp tongue, with its own ideas, might cause me endless trouble when dealing with friendly units, I don't have as many reservations when it comes to enemy unit captains.

Falcon watched as the captain stared at his phone for a while before standing up excitedly, ripping off the tape from his mouth. He looked furious, silently making a cross for the captain's enemy in his mind.

Well, although we don't know who the captain's enemy is, it's clear that the captain has now made up for his last weakness.

It's hard to imagine how desperate those captain's enemies must feel when facing a captain who unleashes massive magical attacks and frequently launches a campaign to protect his parents.

Falcon has a deep understanding of the pain of being unable to win a fight or win an argument.

Of course, the captain himself thought so too, but what he probably didn't expect was that the first to suffer the blow of his words was not the enemy, but his own teammates.

Even the captain himself, despite having such honey-smooth lips, suffered some real damage.

Chapter 329 The Birth of a Quality Captain (Part 4)

For the captain, the mission issued by Black Egg was nothing more than an extremely simple rescue mission. During World War II, the captain had carried out at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, missions like this.

In the captain's view, this mission could be simplified to just three steps: first, get on the plane; second, jump off the plane; third, fight; and finally, the mission is complete. It's that simple.

However, to the captain's utter surprise, this rescue mission, which he thought would be the simplest, encountered difficulties in the early preparation stage.

That's right, with the captain's current hairstyle, he simply can't wear his signature helmet!

The captain now faces only two options: either abandon the helmet and gamble that the hardened shell created by the solidified hairspray from an entire bottle on his head will have the same effect as a bulletproof helmet.

Or you could just honestly wash the hairspray off your head and go on the mission with a head full of frizzy hair.

After returning home, the captain went through a difficult decision-making process before finally deciding to honestly wash off the hairspray from his head.

To be fair, Sherlock's hair growth pills were indeed remarkably effective. After the captain washed off the hairspray, he simply dried his hair with a towel without even using a hairdryer, and his afro quickly returned to its original fluffy state.

Feeling the wet, golden ball of fur on his head, the captain decisively gave up struggling and even released the seal on his mouth, but his main target became Sherlock.

Using Sherlock's nine clans as the radius and Sherlock's family tree as the scope, the captain sang a beautiful little tune as he packed up the things he would need and changed into his combat uniform.

Even after a moment's thought, the captain put on Sherlock's transformation device.

Well, the captain, who was initially quite confident about the mission, inexplicably became less confident after experiencing the initial helmet problem.

Riding his motorcycle, the captain, sporting a head full of golden afro, arrived at the mission's rendezvous point. As he carried his equipment bag into the cabin of the plane arranged by S.H.I.E.L.D., everyone in the cabin fell silent almost instantly.

Both Crossbones' team and Black Widow sitting in the cabin stared intently at the captain with his fluffy afro, as if they had seen something new and interesting.

The captain naturally noticed the stares of his 'teammates' around him, but what could he do? He could only find a seat in the cabin without saying a word.

Instead, Crossbones, seeing the captain sit down without saying a word, looked at him with a hint of mockery, pretending to break the awkward silence, and teased the captain.

"Your new hairstyle looks great, Captain!"

As Crossbones said this, a few suppressed laughs rang out in the room, as if they couldn't hold back their laughter but felt embarrassed and forced themselves to suppress it.

Although the captain really wanted to curse, he gave up after considering his honeyed words and only glanced at Crossbones before continuing to organize his equipment.

Crossbones shrugged at the silent captain, ignored him, and instead told his team members to sit down and the aircraft to take off for the mission location.

On the contrary, Black Widow kept looking at the captain's expression and thought for a while before mouthing a question to the captain when Crossbones and the others weren't paying attention.

"Sherlock?"

Upon seeing Black Widow's question, the captain nodded subtly, his expression full of helplessness.

Seeing that the captain had responded, Black Widow pointed to her throat, as if asking if the captain couldn't speak. However, this time the captain's response left Black Widow scratching her head.

The captain nodded, then shook his head, meaning he could speak, but it wasn't necessary!

Clearly, Black Widow didn't understand what Captain America meant by this action, and Captain America didn't seem inclined to explain.

The entire cabin gradually took off in an eerie silence, heading towards the mission target: the hijacked cargo ship.

After flying for nearly 45 minutes, Crossbones finally came from the front cabin of the plane to the rear cabin where the captain and the others were, and spoke to the group who had remained silent the whole way.

"Come to the front cabin, the mission briefing has been sent over."

With Crossbones's words, everyone got up and headed towards the front cabin.

In the front cabin, in front of a screen, Crossbones had already adjusted the content on it, which displayed the structural diagram of the cargo ship and the gathering point of S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel.

Despite being a cargo ship, all S.H.I.E.L.D. bases share one thing in common: they all have a well-defended refuge. Clearly, this cargo ship is no exception.

After understanding the basic map information, Crossbones then pulled up the list of people who needed to be rescued.

It must be said that S.H.I.E.L.D. really does have its own unique features in some aspects, such as this so-called personnel list.

Aside from basic information such as photos and blood types, almost everyone is shown a code name instead of their real name.

The reason for doing this is simple: to prevent people from different projects from becoming too familiar with each other, which could lead to information leaks. Most importantly, these code names are also subject to change at any time. The only thing that remains constant is the identity verification code below the code name.

This is why the so-called code names are so varied, and many of them are even chosen by the people themselves. However, you can roughly tell a person's position from their clothing in the photo.

Those wearing white coats are mostly researchers, while those in black suits are mostly field staff and managers.

Looking at the various names on the screen, even Crossbones couldn't help but twitch his lips, but fortunately he managed to control himself and simply circled a few people on the screen.

"These people wearing white coats are the key researchers for this project, and the higher-ups have demanded that their safety be guaranteed!"

In addition, the "Iron Man is the most handsome man in the world," the "alchemist is the strongest," and the bespectacled man who says "Compared to Captain America, Iron Man is the role model for men" also need to be ensured to be safe.

If any of these three are injured or killed, remember to erase all biometric information immediately to prevent the leakage of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s high-level data.

After saying this, Crossbones paused, looked at his squad members in front of him, as well as Black Widow and Captain America, and asked everyone.

"Is there anything else you don't understand?"

As soon as Crossbones finished speaking, everyone's attention instantly turned to the captain.

Well, among all the codenames that are everywhere, those that seem to be related to the captain are extremely rare, and the few that are there are those that treat the captain as a stepping stone.

Yes, everyone on the scene wanted to see how the captain would react, after all, such a funny scene was rare!
