Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

The reason why he didn't want to tell Anna what the electric pill in his hand was was simple: Sherlock wanted to live an easy life!

The creation of the Electric Ball in my hand was during Sister Hua's training session for the Avengers. As for why it looks like a toy, the reason is simple: this thing is just a prototype!

That's right, after Sherlock built this prototype, he abandoned his research on the Electric Ball.

The reason is simple: after Sherlock made this thing, she had a sudden realization!

Without this thing, their training would just be training, and training always comes to an end! But if he actually used this thing in Sister Hua's training, whether Sister Hua found out or not, there would only be one outcome: Sister Hua would definitely drag him out to 'spar' with her swordsmanship whenever she had the chance.

Sherlock was almost traumatized by Flower Sister at that time, so how could he possibly think about sparring with her from time to time? Wouldn't that be like an old man eating poison, wanting to die of old age?

Of course, Sherlock didn't hold back when Anna tried to change the subject. He not only ignored Anna's question, but after a brief moment of thought, he turned and looked at Anna with a serious expression.

"Don't even think about escaping punishment. You'll have to write a 5000-word self-criticism, not a single word less. And that's not all. When we get back, I'll drag Zhao Weike to your school's dormitory for a check!"

It can only be said that the devil is always one step ahead. After hearing Sherlock's words, Anna's confident smile instantly turned into panic. She desperately tried to stop Sherlock from going to her school dormitory.

Anna's performance further convinced Sherlock of one thing: damn it, the metallic hydrogen Anna obtained from S.H.I.E.L.D. was definitely more than what he was seeing! Who knows how much that brat had secretly hidden away!

Ignoring the increasingly anxious Anna, Sherlock briefly communicated with Anna's surviving sister. After confirming that Anna's sister no longer wanted to be an assassin, he relayed a message to the High Table through Winston and then took Anna and Mindy back to the Continental Hotel.

Fortunately, it wasn't just Sherlock who knew these two girls; Zhao Weike also did. While Sherlock was negotiating with Anna, Zhao Weike had already quietly cut off the live stream signal.

When Sherlock returned with the two young girls, he saw Zhao Weike and Kane, two old men, sitting in the empty bar of the Continental Hotel, drinking and reeking of alcohol.

The female judge who had been sitting in the corner had left sometime earlier.

The two girls instinctively sensed something was wrong, but they couldn't grasp the vague clues. In the end, they could only give up, complaining a bit about how their master was peacefully drinking while they were fighting to the death, before going to the front desk to book a room to rest.

After the two girls left, Sherlock had a final conversation with Kane. Before Kane left, Sherlock not only got Kane's phone number, but also gave him the electric pill he had in his hand.

Of course, Kane's expression was much more uncomfortable when faced with the Electric Ball, which was treated like a toy.

Well, you could say this thing isn't powerful? Sherlock could even use it to fight himself while drinking. But you could also say it's powerful? This thing looks like a toy sword, it's just a blunt weapon.

(Holding the Electric Spark Ball really does allow you to do this!)

Most importantly, this thing is neither too big nor too small, just right in the line between not being able to hide it or display it. Coupled with its bright colors, to be honest, Kane actually felt a little embarrassed holding it!

However, Kane's reluctance to return it to Sherlock stemmed from its unique properties, and he could only leave with a constipated expression, clipping it to his waist.

Seeing Kane's strange expression before leaving, Zhao Weike sighed helplessly. He could only say that Kane hadn't had much contact with Sherlock. If it were him, he probably wouldn't have cared about the damn color scheme of the Electric Ball.

After all, Sherlock had trained her to the point that as long as she herself wasn't embarrassed, it was always someone else who was embarrassed.

Of course, Zhao Weike would never have imagined that in the assassin world of the future Continental Hotel, Kane would earn the title of assassin sword saint by relying on the electric pill given to him by Sherlock.

It's a dual-wielding swordsman, for crying out loud!

One hand holds a lightning bolt, the other a sword embedded in a staff!

What? You're asking how Kane wields a gun? Kid, back then, the handle of Kane's cane wasn't round or curved anymore; it was practically a pistol! You could say she was a master of both magic and martial arts, handling both melee and ranged combat.

Chapter 675 The Head of Teaching Affairs, the Class Teacher, the Class Monitor, and the Military Officer

The next morning, Sherlock was dragged out of bed by Zhao Weike. After listening to Gao Zhu's assessment of the matter, he pursed his lips in annoyance, seemingly very dissatisfied that Zhao Weike had dragged him out of bed for such a trivial matter.

Although no official documents about this matter have been circulated, it's not surprising that Zhao Weike knew about it given his extensive network of contacts at the Mainland Hotel.

As for Sherlock's thoughts on the High Table's handling of the situation, unfortunately, no. The High Table's handling of this matter was entirely within Sherlock's expectations.

It's worth noting that Anna and Mindy, those two crazy girls, already made the High Table wary when they faced the X Organization with their military-like fighting style using their alchemical tools, not to mention the huge treasure Anna pulled out in the end in a fit of madness.

Although the thing Anna finally produced had little to do with Sherlock, it was a different story for the High Table. The 'nuclear bomb' made of metallic hydrogen in Anna's hand was almost subconsciously categorized by the High Table as Sherlock's creation.

This means that the High Table will inevitably be hesitant to take any drastic action against Sherlock or anyone related to him, since the High Table doesn't know if the other side truly possesses something as powerful as Anna.

Even Gao Zhuo didn't dare to try and get his hands on a "Heaven and Earth Together" item, since the ownership of such a thing was a poisoned cake.

Whether it exists is one question, and whether it can be held onto is another. The best example is the comparison between Niger's 2 kilograms of enriched uranium and Langzi's unknown amount of enriched uranium.

Those guys at the High Table wouldn't dare compare themselves to Akiko.

Sherlock already knew this after his conversation with the High Table. To put it bluntly, the High Table was no different from the rotten oranges that had cursed back the higher-ups, at least to Sherlock.

Of course, Sherlock knew in his heart that the so-called isolation at the High Table was most likely just tiered isolation.

People like Zhao Weike, Anna, and Mindy are definitely not someone the High Table would dare to provoke. They are in a lawless state, and as long as they don't go too far or openly embarrass the High Table, the High Table will likely ignore them no matter what they do and will not impose any restrictions.

However, for people like Winston and Kane who know Sherlock but aren't particularly close, the High Table won't say anything. They'll just pretend they don't know about their relationship with Sherlock and let things be as they are. At most, they might subtly offer some preferential treatment to avoid making things too awkward.

The good news is that, after this incident, Sherlock's group will at least no longer be harassed by the High Table or the Continental Hotel.

The bad news is that Anna and Mindy are destined to come into the spotlight after this battle, and it's hard to say whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Sherlock couldn't say anything about it, but before Zhao Weike left, he asked Zhao Weike to create a group chat for his friends in the industry. He said that if there was anything, Sherlock would help resolve it if he had time, just to help Anna and Mindy build up some connections.

Zhao Weike was naturally quite moved by this, but he didn't say much. Understanding Sherlock's meaning, he simply patted Sherlock on the shoulder and left. After Zhao Weike left, Sherlock sat on the bed and rubbed his face hard, letting out a helpless sigh.

I feel like I have more and more things to do, and I'm going against the peaceful life I initially dreamed of, or even running wildly down the opposite path.

After sitting on the bed grumbling for a while, Sherlock finally got up, tidied himself up quickly, and then leisurely went to the restaurant for breakfast before meeting up with Zhao Weike and the two crazy girls in the lobby.

After reuniting, Sherlock led the group away from the lobby of the Continental Hotel using the Space Stone's power. Their destination? Anna and Mindy's university dormitory!

This was the first time Sherlock had ever stepped into the magical place of the girls' dormitory in both his lifetimes. In Sherlock's mind, the girls' dormitory was a place where boys were not allowed to enter.

But reality, or rather, the reality on the American side, taught Sherlock a harsh lesson.

Damn it, American universities have co-ed dorms!

It's not just about shared accommodation; they also give out free baby condoms!

No, is this fucking right?

Sherlock stared at Zhao Weike, Anna, and Mindy, who all looked completely at ease, and fell into a long silence. His mouth opened and closed several times before he finally chose to remain silent.

Without uttering a word, he began searching the two girls' dormitory amidst Anna's panicked and Zhao Weike's puzzled gaze.

The good news is that Sherlock has wiped out all of Anna's inventory this time.

The bad news is that Sherlock found more than a dozen small spheres containing metallic hydrogen!

With a blank expression, he stuffed these 'contraband' items into his four-dimensional pocket in front of Anna, whose face had turned green, ignoring the 'I'm doomed' look on Anna's face.

Dean of Students Sherlock walked out of the dormitory with a smug look on his face, leaving only homeroom teacher Zhao Weike staring intently at Anna, the 'class warrior,' with a dark, gleaming face.

Of course, Mindy, the 'class monitor' in the same dormitory, didn't look much better either, especially when he thought about how he was sleeping on a pile of bombs every day.

It's important to know that metallic hydrogen is stored in a special container, and it can explode as soon as it comes into contact with air. With a little modification, it can become a simple nuclear bomb.

No one would feel good sleeping on a pile of nuclear bombs every day.

As for Sherlock, after completing his task, he smiled and waved his sleeves without leaving a trace, confident that Zhao Weike, the homeroom teacher, would be able to handle Anna, this 'military general'.

Even if Zhao Weike doesn't handle it well, Mindy, the 'squad leader', will help.

Sherlock even thoughtfully left his car and keys to Zhao Weike before leaving, to make it easier for Zhao Weike to deal with Anna's mental health issues and to make it easier for him to get home later.

I'm just too thoughtful.

What? You're asking Sherlock himself?

Sherlock said he could do whatever he wanted; he could just use the Space Stone to teleport back. There was no need to stay and watch Zhao Weix discipline his brat, was there?

Moreover, when Sherlock found all of Anna's 'treasures', the look Anna gave him was truly something else. Sherlock decided it was best to give Anna a little face.

Chapter 676 Abstract Daily Life

Well, to be honest, the main reason Sherlock didn't stay with Zhao Weike to watch the fun was because he had a ton of work to do at home. Dealing with Anna and Mindy's revenge was a welcome break from his busy schedule.

While Sherlock and Zhao Weike were dealing with Anna and Mindy, Tony had already completed the construction of the Justice League's mechanical skeleton and secretly transported it to Sherlock's alchemy workshop, waiting for Sherlock to return and "polish" it.

Sherlock was in a hurry to return so that he could complete the construction of the 'Justice League' as soon as possible, and also experience the daily life of a lazy bum.

Almost immediately upon his return, Sherlock retreated into the workshop and began a very structured life.

After waking up naturally during the day, Sherlock would take a glass of iced Americano and go into the workshop, not emerging until late afternoon looking exhausted.

After having a bite to eat at Helen's house, Sherlock would pick Doro up from Helen's and take him home. Then they would play games together for a few hours or go out to buy things. Occasionally, they would go to the PAB club for a drink in the evening and have some fun.

It's worth mentioning the game Sherlock played with Doro every afternoon.

Every time Sherlock takes Doro away from Helen, within half an hour, a frantic barking can be heard from Sherlock's house.

At first, Helen even thought that Sherlock and Doro had a dog at home. Later, out of curiosity, she took a look and swore that she would never understand the thought process of Sherlock and Doro, the two of them.

Can you believe these two are actually playing a game?

A real-time 1v1 battle game called "Dog Way" has a very simple gameplay. All you need to do is bark. Whoever barks the loudest and most times wins!

There are no language barriers, and players from all over the world start on the same footing. You can be randomly matched with opponents, select your opponent to fight, and even have a damn ranked ladder!

The most outrageous thing is that, in order to optimize the competitive experience, this game even uses voice control for the menus! One bark confirms, two barks move the cursor, and three barks cancel the action!

Sherlock and Doro barked at each other for hours on end! Helen rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. She wondered if Sherlock had suffered some kind of mental shock and even wanted to take Doro away to prevent him from learning bad habits from Sherlock.

However, Helen tried for a long time before sadly discovering that Doro was even more addicted to the game than Sherlock!

Most importantly, the crazy barking that emanated from Sherlock's house every afternoon gradually attracted the curiosity of some neighbors. After inquiring about the reason, this damned game quickly became popular in the PAB community.

One evening, after finishing his work, Tony decided to relax at PAB. When he opened the door and heard a chorus of barking dogs, Tony wondered if he had gone to the wrong place.

Ultimately, under the encouragement of this bunch of bastards from the PAB group, Tony also successfully fell in love with this 'competitive game,' and even Captain America, Black Widow, and Hawkeye were not spared.

After all, who can resist a thrilling barking battle?

It was Wanda, Quicksilver, and Vision who suffered the most. Whenever the three of them saw the Avengers fighting like dogs, with the air filled with an atmosphere of utter silliness, their faces turned particularly grim.

Vision maintained the same expression as an old man on the subway throughout the entire game, completely unable to comprehend what kind of psychology drives a human to bark like a dog with another person wearing headphones and a microphone, and even less understanding why such a game exists.

It can only be said that compared to humans, let alone AI, even a silicon-based life form like Vision cannot comprehend human abstractions.

Of course, Wanda and Quicksilver weren't much better off. Whenever they saw this scene, they would doubt whether the Avengers they had joined were a legitimate organization, since the scene was just too bizarre.

This further strengthened Quicksilver's resolve to study hard and get into the Rabbit's side, since he genuinely felt that if he stayed any longer, he might easily be infected with the virus called "Silly Sculpture."

What? You mean Wanda?

Wanda could only cry. As a terrible student, she just couldn't learn it! She only wished that Hogwarts didn't exist, otherwise she would have worked her butt off to get in!

Fortunately, although the Avengers, led by Sherlock, were heading in a silly direction, they didn't neglect any important matters.
