Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

Given such a huge advantage, Tony could actually accept the so-called fragility of nanotechnology, since fragility could be compensated for by quantity. However, the advantages it brought were unmatched by other armors.

It was precisely because of this that when Tony saw Dr. Zhao Hailun's research, he pulled Zhao Hailun into becoming his partner, which led to today's trip to Xiaoxiba.

Of course, although Tony doesn't want to admit it, there are reasons why he doesn't want to become chewing gum or be ruined by Sherlock Holmes while researching nanotechnology.

Seeing that the group of people were still standing there looking at a loss, Sherlock rolled his eyes in annoyance, slapped the captain's American-style buttocks, and then said.

"Why don't we go out and see for ourselves what's going on?"

After a pause, Sherlock seemed to remember something, turned to look at Black Widow, and said to her with a lewd expression.

"Black Widow, I suggest you take advantage of Tony's rest time to experience more of this place. Little Xiba has amazing entertainment; even the concentration of the blue pills in the Han River is hundreds of times higher than the legal limit!"

Upon hearing Sherlock's words, Captain America and Hawkeye's gazes immediately fell upon Black Widow. Even the veteran agent Black Widow couldn't help but blush and pointed at Sherlock, roaring with unusual excitement.

"Slander! This is slander! He's slandering me! He's slandering me!"

Chapter 579 A Day Trip to Xiaoxi

Despite Black Widow's vehement defense that it was Sherlock's slander and wishful thinking, she ultimately shut her mouth after seeing the 'don't explain, I understand' expressions from Captain America, Hawkeye, and Thor.

Using the body of the Ben Affleck version of Batman, she stomped her foot shyly, blushed, and ran out. After all, given the situation, Black Widow really couldn't stay there any longer.

However, Black Widow, who ran out, did not notice the rather strange expressions on the faces of the three people inside the house.

Well, after being a woman for half her life, suddenly becoming a man and wanting to try picking up girls is understandable. But the fact that his sister, with her big body and face, was stomping her feet like a little girl really disgusted the three of them.

Sherlock even had the same feeling he had when he first saw Thor wearing a skirt!

Thor, however, showed no reaction, his eyes filled with admiration for Black Widow's discovery of such a masculine approach.

To alleviate this damn physical discomfort, Sherlock decisively pulled out a few sets of clothes and threw them to the group, then followed Black Widow out of the house.

For some reason, Sherlock felt that the Avengers were heading in a strange direction, and the most important thing was that Sherlock couldn't quite put his finger on what was so strange about it.

After Sherlock rushed out, the entire research institute located in Little West Eight was revealed to him.

It has to be said that Dr. Helen Zhao and Tony are absolutely two wolves in sheep's clothing. Just a short while after they started teasing Black Widow, the wooden stick on Tony's waist had already been pulled off.

What should have been a large hole was now covered by some wriggling, pure white stuff that looked like slime.

Sherlock knew that the slimy-looking thing was actually a nanobot, and although it looked somewhat unsightly, it was essential before Tony's kidneys could be repaired.

At that moment, Dr. Helen Zhao, with Tony's assistance, was frantically typing something on the computer in the ward. Sherlock stood outside for a while before he could barely figure out what the two of them were doing.

To put it simply, the nanorobots covering Tony's wounds at this moment are not the complete form, but rather 'temporary emergency' robots. On the contrary, the nanorobots that Helen Zhao is editing are the real robots used for treatment.

Its scientific name is stem cell recombinant nanorepair robot. Before this thing is set up with all the parameters and replaces the white nanorobots that are wriggling on the wound, those white nanorobots will temporarily replace the function of Tony's kidney.

After figuring out what was going on, Sherlock lost interest in the matter and headed out of the research institute.

You know what, this is Sherlock's first time in Little West Eighth District, across both lifetimes combined.

To be honest, whether in this life or the past, under the influence of the Japan-Korea divide, it would be pure nonsense to say that Sherlock has absolutely no feelings for Nishimura.

If you take a walk around Xiaoxiba, you'll find that the filter is absolutely true; all your stereotypes about Xiaoxiba can be found in reality.

It's no exaggeration to say that Sherlock could tell at a glance who was Little Sherlock and who was Little Rabbit when he walked down the street.

The one who saw Sherlock staring at her without any restraint, and even seemed a little eager, was definitely the little rabbit. But the one who immediately lowered her head and looked away when she met Sherlock's gaze was definitely the little devil!

After a brief stroll, Sherlock lost interest in the streets of Little West Bay.

You might not believe it, but if you see a beautiful woman on the street in Xiaoxiba, without a doubt, she's either from Xiaoxiba or an artificial beauty; there's absolutely no third possibility.

As for where all those beauties from Xiaoxiba went? Well, they're all on stage.

The rest? Small eyes, big face, damn it, half the country uses the same modeling formula for Sherlock, it's ridiculous.

After losing interest in people, Sherlock decisively chose to see the so-called scenery, taking a taxi directly to Gyeongbokgung Palace, which Xiao Xiba had raved about and claimed was comparable to the Forbidden City.

How to describe it? Putting aside the size, any rural courtyard you randomly pick in Northeast China is more exquisitely decorated than that so-called 'palace'.

If we disregard size, any prince's mansion in the capital could easily outclass Xiao Xiba's so-called 'imperial palace' in every way.

Heaven knows where Xiao Xiba got the confidence to try and take advantage of the Forbidden City. Seriously, if he had known it would turn out like this, Sherlock would have been better off going to the Forbidden City and asking the staff where the biggest and most luxurious toilet in the Forbidden City was. He could have just visited the Forbidden City himself and found that the toilets there were much more cost-effective than Xiao Xiba's so-called palace.

Don't worry, it's definitely much more exquisite than the so-called "Royal Palace" of Xiaoxiba. Both the craftsmanship and the materials used far surpass the so-called "Royal Palace" of Xiaoxiba.

After being betrayed by the scenery once again, Sherlock had no choice but to go and have some good food.

However, to Sherlock's utter surprise, the Korean food at that place was nothing short of a pickled vegetable feast! And Sherlock was eating what was supposedly the most luxurious and traditional Korean meal at that place, Xiao Xiba's "royal banquet"!

Putting aside the fact that they didn't get enough to eat and the prices were ridiculously high, if we were in ancient times, the emperor would be eating pickled vegetables while holding a grand meeting. How terrible would the common people be?

(Fun fact: all Korean restaurants in China are essentially 'Korean-style restaurants,' including stir-fried squid or spicy kimchi stir-fried pork belly, which are Chinese-style Korean dishes. Anyone who eats authentic Korean food will curse you. At least around 16-17, these kinds of restaurants didn't exist in China.)

Sherlock didn't understand, Sherlock was greatly shocked, Sherlock's eyes were opened.

When Sherlock arrived, he finally understood why Dr. Helen Zhao had been so anxious when she saw Tony injured. It's no exaggeration to say that in a country where corn silk, corncobs, and corn kernels could be sold separately, this was the biggest source of funding for the research institute.

If Tony were to suffer any mishap and cancel the institute's sponsorship, Dr. Zhao Hailun would probably take off her pants on the spot, wear a triangular basket, join a girl group on stage, and break her back on stage, but that still wouldn't be enough to fill the institute's hole!

Of course, Xiao Xi Ba isn't without its merits; to be honest, the coffee there is truly delicious.

But thinking about it, it's normal. After all, Little Xiba has almost evolved to lose its ability to sleep. If it didn't rely on coffee to keep going, Little Xiba would probably be dead by now.

Sherlock wandered around for almost half a day, until night fell. Looking at the still bustling streets near midnight, Sherlock took out his phone and checked it with some confusion.

Aside from the two 60-second voice messages Falcon and Rod sent him in the afternoon, there were no other notifications. At most, there was a brief update from the two in the group chat regarding the follow-up actions of the five philanthropists.

Chapter 580 The Master of Picking Up Girls - Black Widow?

Sherlock clicked on the message the two people had shared in the group chat with some confusion.

Well, although the Avengers had already taken the Mind Scepter, the greatest treasure in the Hydra base in Sokovia, its massive amount of research data and experimental records were still of immense value.

It was precisely because of this that the five philanthropists still engaged in a small-scale conflict to determine the allocation of resources within the base.

To Sherlock's surprise, thanks to his beating of the American commander before leaving, the Americans performed poorly in the final melee, only managing to eat slightly more than the British and French.

They only drank a little soup with minced meat, while Rabbit and Da Mao clearly had the upper hand, taking the lion's share.

Sherlock was not at all surprised by this, but the two men's report did open her eyes. To be honest, the way those heartless maggots shifted the blame and their reasons really made Sherlock feel like she had opened the door to a new world.

Although the price of opening this door is one's own integrity.

After checking his phone for a while and confirming that there were no messages from Captain America, Hawkeye, Black Widow, or Tony Stark, a huge question mark slowly appeared above Sherlock's head.

Having been betrayed three times in a row, Sherlock lost interest in continuing his stroll and turned to walk towards the research institute.

However, when Sherlock returned to the research institute, he found Captain America and Hawkeye, dressed in casual clothes, sitting side by side on a bench in the smoking area next to the institute's main entrance.

The two men didn't have any cigarettes in their hands, but each had a can of beer in their hand, and there were even a lot of empty beer cans at their feet. Between them was a box of stir-fried rice cakes that had long since gone cold and a small bag of neatly packaged peanuts.

Most importantly, the sense of bewilderment and dejection emanating from these two middle-aged men after losing their jobs slowly raised a huge question mark in Sherlock's mind.

It wasn't until Sherlock walked up to the two that Hawkeye, who was usually known for his vigilance, noticed Sherlock's figure and looked up at him with a weary expression.

"Sherlock! You're back?"

???

When Sherlock realized that Hawkeye only noticed him after he got close, his question mark above his head grew even larger. Looking at the captain and Hawkeye, who looked like two middle-aged, decadent uncles, with a face full of doubt, Sherlock finally asked.

"Wait, what's going on? Where's Thor? Did you both break up at the same time? But that doesn't make sense. Captain, you're an old bachelor, you don't even have a female friend besides Black Widow, what kind of breakup could you have? Could it be that you found out the child isn't yours, Eyes?"

If this were any other time, Sherlock would have dared to tease the two of them like this, and they would probably have already come up with their fists and put on a full-blown fight with Sherlock. But today, after facing Sherlock's teasing, the two of them just looked at each other and then showed a wry smile.

The captain pulled a can of beer from a bag next to him and tossed it to Sherlock before speaking to him.

"Take it, you'll need it later. As for Thor, you don't need to worry about him. He's already asleep after drinking all the medical alcohol in the research institute."

"????"

The captain's tone was quite confident and calm, as if Sherlock would definitely join them later, which only made Sherlock's head full of question marks.

Putting aside the captain's unwavering attitude, how come you didn't stop Thor from drinking all the medical alcohol in the research institute?

Seeing the two who remained silent and offered no explanation, Sherlock frowned slightly, decided to ignore these two suddenly acting out individuals, weighed the can of beer in his hand, and turned to walk into the research institute.

However, when Sherlock entered the research institute, he realized that something seemed a little off.

Inside the transparent glass ward, Tony had somehow put on Sherlock's Gundam helmet again and lay motionless on the bed.

If it weren't for the ECG monitor showing Tony still had a heartbeat, Sherlock would have doubted whether Tony was really dead.

Of course, that wasn't the most strange thing. What really made Sherlock's eyes pop out was the bench in the corridor outside Tony's transparent hospital room.

At this moment, Black Widow, now transformed into Ben Affleck, was embracing Dr. Helen Zhao, the two chatting and laughing.

What's even stranger is that Dr. Helen Zhao's gaze towards Scarlett Johansson was practically dripping with lust!

No, is that right?

……

Ten minutes later, on a bench in the smoking area next to the institute's main gate, Sherlock sat down next to the captain, opened the can of beer in his hand, sighed deeply, and took a big gulp.

Sherlock now understood why Captain America and Hawkeye were sitting there drinking alone. It wasn't for any other reason than they were completely disillusioned by Black Widow's flirting skills.

Not to mention Captain America, who's a bachelor, even Hawkeye, who's married and has kids, was completely blown away by Black Widow's flirting skills. Sherlock even wanted to rush over, grab Black Widow by the collar, and ask her how she, a woman, could be so good at picking up girls.

After asking the questions, use the Space Stone to teleport one to the South Pole and the other to the North Pole!

How outrageous is this?

Let's put it this way: in the short ten minutes that Sherlock overheard, the topics that Black Widow and Helen Zhao were discussing would be pure sexual harassment if spoken by real men like Sherlock and his group!

The topic was so explicit that it was something anyone could easily go into, but Black Widow, despite having Ben Affleck's body, said it without any problems. Even Helen Zhao's gaze towards Black Widow started to turn into a lecherous one.

No, is that right?

Sherlock didn't understand, Sherlock was greatly shocked.

Of course, although we don't understand and we are shocked, the most miserable one is definitely not the three brothers sitting at the door questioning their existence, but Tony lying in the hospital room!

This guy couldn't walk or move, so he was forced to lie in bed, getting beaten to a pulp by Scarlett Johansson while listening to their raunchy banter. He was completely stuck on one end of the line.

Sherlock said that Tony, who disliked the Gundam armor so much, would never actually put the helmet on his own head. It turned out he had no other choice.

The three of them sat at the entrance of the research institute drinking all night. The next morning, as the sun rose, Sherlock seemed to have made up his mind. He suddenly smashed the beer can in his hand on the ground and rushed into the research institute like a madman.

Then, under the incredulous gazes of the captain and Hawkeye, Dr. Helen Zhao's screams and cries, as well as Black Widow's angry shouts disguised as Ben Affleck, echoed from inside the research institute.
