Lu Mingfei doesn't want to be a superhero

"The address is... Miss Natasha Romanov's home." Lu Mingfei told Jarvis.

"The pilot is preparing to leave, please wait a moment," Jarvis replied instantly, "In addition, according to Mr. Stark's instructions, the helicopter will take you directly to his home. He and Mr. Steve have important matters to discuss. Tell you."

"Is it important? Why is it so urgent?" Lu Mingfei was curious.

"Mr. Stark said that you will know when you arrive. In addition, he also said that since you are at Ms. Natasha's house, bring her with you." Jarvis said.

Lu Mingfei's head was filled with questions.

Discussing important matters... Then why call Natasha?

He turned to look at Natasha in confusion. With her hearing, she should be able to hear Jarvis's voice on the phone.

Understanding Lu Mingfei's confused eyes, Natasha handed him a mysterious smile. Lu Mingfei could probably read this meaning from her face - Are you curious?Not telling you.

Lu Mingfei narrowed his eyes slightly.

Natasha got up and was about to go to the bedroom to change clothes, but Lu Mingfei stopped her: "By the way, Natasha, do you have a lizard at home?"

Natasha's steps froze.

Lu Mingfei had already started looking for lizards in the cracks of the living room furniture.

"Ahem," Natasha coughed slightly, turned around, and smiled, "I think I want to discuss with you the cooperation between SHIELD and you, right?"

"What kind of cooperation?" Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, and then a bold idea came to his mind, "Wait a minute! Is the cooperation you are talking about..."

Natasha smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's about SHIELD's cooperation in helping Captain run for president."

Lu Mingfei: ...

146. Chapter 145 Let’s make a “Captain America” movie!

Tony's home.

Natasha, Lu Mingfei, Steve and Tony sat at the conference table in clockwise order.

Natasha put on ordinary casual clothes, while Lu Mingfei looked curiously at the round table full of futuristic technology they were sitting around. The glass table top exuded a bright blue light, and every point on the table was can project a holographic screen.

"Tony, when did you build this table? It's so cool." Lu Mingfei touched the table left and right.

"I made this a few days after you left so we could have a meeting," Tony said, holding champagne in one hand and a burger in the other. "The meeting about Steve running for president, of course."

"So, SHIELD has really become our ally and wants to help Steve run for president?" Lu Mingfei asked, and at the same time, he couldn't help but look at Natasha, who was sitting here on behalf of SHIELD. .

"Well, that's what I want to tell you," Tony said. "Not long ago, with Steve and I's efforts to persuade, use emotion, reason, coercion and inducement, etc., Fury... We are willing to cooperate with us in a more in-depth way to help Steve run for president."

In order to use that series of idioms, Tony specially said this sentence in Chinese, but...

"The last idiom is wrong, it's not a good word." Lu Mingfei complained.

"Well, maybe I'm wrong." Tony blinked.

Natasha smiled: "And I am the representative responsible for SHIELD's contact with you."

Lu Mingfei said that it was indeed the case. Natasha was a representative of S.H.I.E.L.D., but for such a big thing as running for President of the United States, did Fury only send representatives?Could it be that he is busy with something more important?

"But strictly speaking, SHIELD is not completely our ally," Tony looked at Lu Mingfei, "Procedurally speaking, you still need your approval vote before SHIELD can truly join us."

No wonder Tony was so anxious for Jarvis to bring me here.Lu Mingfei suddenly understood.

Lu Mingfei shook his head and said, "Tony, you and the captain can decide on this matter. I'm just here to join in the fun."

"Treat running for President of the United States as 'fun'..." Tony nodded with satisfaction, "Well, I like your metaphor."

"You are also a member of our team," Steve said more seriously, "As one of the first three members of the team, your opinion is very important."

At this point, Lu Mingfei didn't want to be pretentious, so he nodded and said: "Then I also agree that SHIELD will join."

He still knows a little bit about SHIELD. From a certain perspective, this group of people can be described in one word - a plus version of the FBI.

There is no reason to refuse such an ally, not to mention that even Tony agreed, which means that even if SHIELD has any hidden dangers as an ally, Tony should have considered it. Lu Mingfei has no reason to disagree.

"Then from now on, we are all in the same boat," Natasha stretched out her hand towards Lu Mingfei, "Why don't you shake hands?"

"No," Lu Mingfei shook his head and picked up the burger at hand, "I guess Natasha you haven't washed your hands yet."

Natasha was silent.

She came just after dinner, so she didn't order any fast food, and naturally she didn't wash her hands.

Lu Mingfei took the burger and asked: "By the way, Tony, how is the campaign going now? Has the title of captain been established?"

The most important thing about running for president is to build momentum and win votes. In other words, the first step is to gather a large number of people's hearts.

"Captain America's name has always been famous," Tony said, "but Steve is different."

"What?" Lu Mingfei asked, biting into his burger.

"As I expected before, most politicians and the forces behind them have reached a consensus and do not want Steve to share the cake of the United States," Tony said. "They have been making public comments in various media To create momentum, question Steve's identity, and dwarf the glorious image that 'Captain America' has always been."

"However, the latter is not a big problem at the moment. The concept of 'Captain America' has developed since World War II and has become one of the spiritual totems of a considerable number of Americans. It is not something that will be affected casually, and the military does not Politicians will be allowed to slander the image of this hero, otherwise they will no longer be able to use Captain America to advertise for military recruitment in the future," Tony said. "The bigger problem is the former. All major media are questioning Steve under the instruction of the sponsors behind him. The identity of Captain America, for example, he is fake, plastic surgery, etc.”

"In the world of public opinion, what is true can become false, and what is false can become true," Lu Mingfei took a sip of Coke and said, "But isn't this because SHIELD is here? Since they were in the North Pole, Once the captain is discovered, the whole process should be recorded, right? Can't the record be released?"

"Yes, yes, but this is a big killer weapon. In theory, it should be used to equalize the situation when we are at a disadvantage, or it is better to use it when we have an advantage to win in one go. The current public opinion environment is relatively chaotic, so it is better to use this big weapon directly. It's a bit wasteful to throw away the killing weapon," Tony said, "And the records are not absolutely easy to use. You said it yourself, true or false, is not important in the war of public opinion. Although the records are true, they are not the same. Be careful and you will be slandered as fake..."

Steve smiled bitterly: "I heard that there has always been a difficult problem in philosophy to prove 'I am me'. I didn't expect that I would also encounter this problem in political science."

"So, our top priority is to completely bind Steve to the image of 'Captain America' in the eyes of the public?" Lu Mingfei concluded.

"That's right," Tony said, "No matter how legendary the story of Captain America is, if people can't immediately bind this image to Steve when they think of Captain America, the legendary story won't be Be our support.”

"Wait... a legendary story? The legendary story of Captain America..." An idea flashed in Lu Mingfei's mind and he slapped his thigh, "I thought of it!"

Tony and the other three were startled by his movements.

"What did you think of?" Natasha asked.

"Tony, does Stark Group have any involvement in film and television?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"No," Tony shook his head, "But there can be."

After a brief thought, Tony seemed to realize something: "Do you want to..."

Natasha also showed a somewhat surprised expression.

"Film and television?" Steve, whose concept has not yet been completely modernized, is a little confused.

"Captain," Lu Mingfei looked at Steve, "Are you... interested in becoming an actor?"

"To be honest, my interests do not include being an actor. During World War II, I used to be a role promoted by the military and performed many performances to boost morale and recruit soldiers." Steve shook his head, "But I still prefer Fight on the battlefield.”

"I'm afraid you have to return to the stage for a while, Captain," Lu Mingfei raised the Coke cup, "Everyone, let's make a movie called "Captain America" ​​and tell the legendary story of Captain America in the movie. . Steve, you play Captain America!"

Steve:! ! !

147. Chapter 146 The gift of blood?

Early in the morning, at Lu Mingfei’s home, at the training ground.

"clang--"

The sound of metal hitting metal echoed throughout the training ground.

Lu Mingfei slowly lowered his fist, leaving a deeply sunken fist mark on the thick steel plate in front of him.

The previous metal collision sound was caused by the contact between Lu Mingfei's fist and the steel plate. The pitch-black scales covered his entire arm, and the scales were as tough as most alloys.

After agreeing to join SHIELD at Tony's house last night and briefly formulating the "Captain America" ​​movie plan, Lu Mingfei returned to his home.

Although Tony's house is large and has many rooms, so you can just rest when you are tired, Lu Mingfei still likes his own big bed.

This morning, after the blond housekeeper in a miniskirt maid outfit woke him up instead of the cold alarm clock, he came to the training ground to do morning exercises.

Now he no longer needs a fighting skills coach. It's not that he is invincible. It's just that with his current fighting level, the coaches who can be hired through normal means have nothing to teach him.

If we use a more moderate concept to describe it, Lu Mingfei's current fighting skills are only one step away from being a "grandmaster", and this step can only be taken by himself.

By the way, judging from Lu Mingfei's perspective, Senior Brother Chu's sword skills should be called a "grandmaster". However, Senior Brother Chu's sword skills have such a distinct personal style that even if he can learn them with the spirit of speech, they are not suitable. His fighting style was far less effective than Senior Brother Chu himself.

However, if you don’t count the word spirit and only fight with bare hands, Senior Brother Chu should be able to defeat him. If he fights with weapons, Senior Brother Chu has no chance of winning. Murasame is an excellent alchemy weapon, but no matter how good he is, he can’t compete with him. The Sword of Silver is comparable.

After all, although he is a bit behind Senior Brother Chu in terms of skills, he is better than Senior Brother Chu in all aspects of physical fitness.

After being inspired by Tony for the second time, Lu Mingfei discovered that he not only improved his physical fitness again, but also gained the ability to cover his body with scales as a defense.

As time went by, his scale defense seemed to be slowly improving day by day.

And when the scales cover the body, the strength of his corresponding muscles will also increase.

This change is similar to the hardening of scales. The degree of strengthening of muscles will gradually increase over time. When he first had the ability of scales, covering his body with scales could only simply add a layer of protection to himself, but now he has been In areas covered by scales, the muscle strength is more than doubled.

Because the melee combat ability will be greatly improved after the body is covered with dragon scales, Lu Mingfei called this ability "dragon scale mode" or "dragon scale state" very casually.

He also consulted Tony, who told him that this was a normal phenomenon, which proved that his current physical fitness had not reached the limit of his current genes, so his body would slowly continue to get stronger.

Just like a strong golden monkey evolved into a malnourished human. Although a malnourished human is stronger than a golden monkey dozens of centimeters tall, this malnourished human can still "become stronger" as long as it continues By eating a reasonable diet and exercising, he will change from a "malnourished human being" to a "strong and healthy human being."

No matter what, getting stronger is always a good thing, but there is one thing that is more distressing - although his scales and muscles will be strengthened in the dragon scale state, his bones will not be strengthened, which will cause him to lose strength when he exerts too much force. The muscles in turn put pressure on their own bones.

Although his bones are still quite strong at the moment and will not break easily in dragon scale mode, the increase in strength of his muscles in the dragon scale state will gradually increase. If it increases by two or three times in the future, will his bones still be able to withstand it? It's hard to say whether it's strong or not.

He also asked Tony if he had a solution. Tony said that he could only wait for the third version of the potion, but the third version of the potion was still far away. Tony said that he had not even found a breakthrough yet.

Therefore, the more realistic method at present is for Lu Mingfei to use continuous training to control his strength in the dragon scale state and use skills to protect his bones. Moreover, the training cannot be interrupted, because before reaching the limit of the current gene, the dragon scales The power of the state will continue to grow.

"Hello? Is it Tony?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Mingfei, come on! My research is successful!" Tony said.

……

In Tony's laboratory.

Lu Mingfei held up a closed test tube: "Tony, is this the potion you said can transform ordinary people into hybrids?"

The liquid in the test tube looks a bit too clear and translucent - it looks like distilled water!

"Well, this is the safest version currently," Tony said. "It can only give people a trace amount of dragon blood. It is definitely not comparable to your blood, but it is stable enough and will never turn into death." The risk of waiting."
