It's none of my business. I'm just a lunch box seller.

"Fighting? Can crushing insects on Earth be considered fighting?"

"It will be a glorious and easy battle," Loki stressed, "but only if your army is truly as invincible as you say."

"How dare you question the Chitauri and their decision?" General Chitauri reminded Loki: "Don't forget who handed the scepter to you, who taught you the truth about the universe, and who gave you the true mission. Who was it when you were exiled and devastated..."

"But the Cosmic Cube is still in my hands." Loki laughed at the Chitauri general, and he also said: "I don't mean to threaten you, but you must remember that as long as the portal is not opened and your army is not led by me, everything you say is just empty talk."

"Then make war, Asgardian! But if you fail, you'd better hope..."

……

"I hope the aliens this time aren't just some random people that can be killed with a pinch."

Denise looked at Boss Cheng, who was sorting out his equipment and talking to himself in the underground base, and couldn't help but show a worried look. She was not worried about whether Boss Cheng would be in danger, but about Boss Cheng's psychological problems. Because every time he mentioned aliens or destruction, Boss Cheng would always become irritable, angry, or nervous.

Denise also felt the pain of losing her country and her race. But unlike Boss Cheng, Denise was already an adult when she felt this pain. The only person who could fully resonate with Boss Cheng was Xiao Xiangcheng. Because they both witnessed the tragic deaths of their families and the burning of their homes when they were young.

"Boss, you don't need to..."

"No need for anything?"

"You don't have to spend all day in front of your terminal. Didn't you say that you've killed not only aliens, but also alien bugs?"

"That's different." The boss explained to Denise: "Although killing aliens in the game feels very real, those are scenes created by the competitive world, not real alien life."

Boss Cheng didn't know that the programmer was looking at the screen and muttering, "A life that has been wiped out of its own consciousness is no longer a life? If the devil is fake, then how did you get cursed by the devil?"

In the blink of an eye, it was lunch time again, and this time the people who came to visit Boss Cheng were not Nick Fury, but Nick's right-hand men - Phil Coulson and Maria Hill.

"The boss hopes that you ..."

Boss Cheng interrupted Coulson and handed him and Hill each a dinner plate.

"This is the rule here. Eat first, and then talk about business after dinner. It's $12 per person. If you want unlimited fried chicken, you have to pay an extra $2."

Coulson took the initiative to hand over 28 yuan, and Boss Cheng also issued a VAT invoice from Jilin Province to Coulson. Although Coulson didn't know what the invoice could be used for, he still accepted it.

After that, Coulson and Hill had a delicious meal at Boss Cheng's restaurant. After the lunch rush, Coulson told the two why they were there.

"The boss hopes you can take a couple of days off and go on vacation with us."

Maria Hill added: "As a diet and nutrition consultant for the Avengers."

That's right, Boss Cheng's identity and status are similar to that of "Iron Man" Tony Stark. One is a scientific and technical consultant, and the other is a diet and nutrition consultant. After all, joining the Avengers as a consultant not only allows Boss Cheng to have the greatest degree of freedom of movement, but also allows Boss Cheng to be incorporated into the Avengers' combat system.

Coulson also told Boss Cheng that the top brass of SHIELD wanted to capture Loki and retrieve the Cosmic Cube as soon as possible, and Nick also hoped to settle the matter before the aliens invaded New York.

Boss Cheng thinks Nick's idea is correct. As long as the Cosmic Cube is retrieved in advance, New York will not be invaded by aliens. Boss Cheng not only wants to do business with wealthy New Yorkers, but also does not want the scene of devastation that once happened in New York, which has a large population.

So, Boss Cheng readily accepted Agent Coulson's invitation.

But before Boss Cheng set off, he took two agents to his underground base. Coulson and Hill, who saw the space battleship for the first time, were like Iron Man before, and stood there at a loss.

"The boss never..."

"Because he promised me." Boss Cheng told the two: "Nick promised not to reveal the news of the space battleship to outsiders, and it seems that he did it. So you two must also promise me that before I take the initiative to drive the battleship out, you will not reveal any information about the battleship to outsiders."

The two immediately raised their hands and swore: "We promise! We promise not to reveal it to anyone."

Afterwards, the two were brought to the terminal by Boss Cheng. Boss Cheng operated the "Participant Mall" on the terminal, and then asked Agent Coulson to stand on a vertical scanning device.

And as Boss Cheng pressed OK, the scanner began to scan Agent Coulson.

“Do you want to save the new scan record?”

Boss Cheng chose “No”.

Ten seconds later, the big box connected to the terminal opened automatically with a "dong" sound. Boss Cheng took out a strange purple-black suit from it and stuffed it into Agent Coulson's arms.

Then, Boss Cheng pointed to a corner of the base and told Coulson, "That's the base's garbage disposal room. You can use it as a changing room."

"Eh? Change clothes?" Coulson looked at the strange thing in his arms and asked, "Is that clothes in my arms?"

"To be precise, it should be called a tight combat suit. During my absence, a genius improved the Gantz combat suit into an armored combat suit. I know you probably don't understand what I'm talking about, but you just need to know that I want you to help me test the protective performance of this suit of armor."

"Oh, ok, happy to help."

Soon, Agent Coulson, wearing a tight armored combat suit, came out of the garbage incinerator. At this moment, Boss Cheng raised the MA5B rifle in his hand. Before Coulson and Hill could react, Boss Cheng pulled the trigger.

However, when the 7.62mm armor-piercing bullet hit Coulson's combat uniform, Coulson only felt that he was gently pushed twice. The coating on the surface of the armor was scratched by the bullet, but when Coulson used his hands to pick at the scratches, he found that the marks on the surface of the armor were not the scratched coating, but the metal debris left on the surface of the armor plate by the bullet.

The armor plate was completely intact!

"This..." Coulson was a little confused. He had never thought that the so-called help from Boss Cheng was to let him be shot with live ammunition. But he had never thought that the tights on his body, apart from strangling his balls, could actually provide such a good protection.

Hill, who didn't believe in evil, also pulled out his own gun, pointed it at his colleague and poured out a whole magazine of 9mm ammunition. Then Hill believed that it was not that Boss Cheng's gun was too weak, but that Coulson's armor was too hard.

"As a reward for helping me test the bulletproof effect, the tight combat suit you are wearing belongs to you from now on!"

As a reward for helping Boss Cheng test the bulletproof effect with 9mm ammunition, Agent Hill also received his own tight combat suit. However, unlike Coulson, Boss Cheng invited Hill to personally choose his combat suit on the terminal.

However, Hill did not choose Coulson's tight combat suit with a thick outer armor plate. Instead, he planned to choose a combat suit without an outer armor plate that could be hidden under normal clothes.

But Boss Cheng stopped Hill's choice. He walked to Coulson and removed the armor plates on the outside of his combat suit with just a few moves.

"The combat suit with outer armor plate is only 70pt more expensive than the one without outer armor plate, but the protection is increased by 50%. Moreover, if you take off the outer armor plate, it can become the combat suit you want to wear under the outer clothes. So, you must read the manual carefully before buying electrical appliances in the future. Otherwise, it is easy to suffer a big loss and be cheated!"

Then, Boss Cheng followed two SHIELD senior agents in combat uniforms and boarded the SHIELD Quinjet. Captain Rogers, who was carrying two shields, had been sitting in the cabin waiting for a long time for several people to set off together. Then the Quinjet took off and flew straight to the sea off New York.

In the cabin of the Quinjet, Agent Coulson, who officially met Captain America for the first time, expressed his admiration for him. Coulson also told Captain America that he had seen him when he was asleep.

"You were still lying in the thawing chamber at that time. I have to admit, Captain, you have a great figure!"

As a result, the captain looked embarrassed.

"Uh..." Coulson organized his words excitedly and spoke again: "It is really a great honor for me that you can join us. Also, we have made appropriate modifications to your armor, and I also made some insignificant suggestions."

However, under the scrutiny of Boss Cheng, who was looking at him with a look of "Really? I don't believe it", Coulson finally changed his words and said, "Okay, we have made some appropriate changes to the color of your armor. We want to make the flag elements on the armor more obvious, while trying to avoid the elements being too abrupt."

The captain asked Coulson: "Wouldn't the elements of the Star-Spangled Banner seem...too outdated now?"

Coulson told the captain: "Considering the current situation and the upcoming fierce battle, people may need some spirit from the past."

0131 Monitoring the whole world

Off the coast of New York, on an unnumbered aircraft carrier belonging to S.H.I.E.L.D.

The Quinjet carrying Boss Cheng and Captain Rogers slowly landed on the flight deck. Agent Coulson was the first to walk out of the cabin and ordered the staff who came to pick him up to fetch the captain's armor.

Then, Captain Rogers and Boss Cheng followed Agent Hill out. Boss Cheng looked at the huge flight deck and couldn't help but exclaimed. However, he was not amazed at how advanced the aircraft carrier was, but...

“With so many people on a ship, it must be very profitable if the kitchen can be outsourced!”

Rogers glanced at his friend and wondered why this guy was so passionate about cooking and making money from cooking?

At this time, a beautiful woman who was not very tall (compared to Denise) but was almost as hot as Denise took over Boss Cheng's words and joked with him, "If you can take over the contract, I'd like to buy a share."

Even Rogers chimed in: "Count me in, I can help you wash the potatoes."

Agent Coulson looked at the three familiar people and immediately introduced them: "Agent Romanoff, this is Boss Cheng, our nutrition consultant. This is Captain Steve Rogers. Boss, Captain, Natasha Romanoff, codenamed Black Widow, one of our best field agents."

"Is he as good as that Hawkeye who betrayed us for no apparent reason?" asked Boss Cheng.

Hearing this, Agent Coulson hurriedly explained: "Agent Barton is likely..."

"That's why I used the modifier 'incomprehensible'." Boss Cheng shrugged.

Strangely enough, Natasha was very impressed by the word "inexplicable" and even expressed her gratitude to Boss Cheng. As for whether she was really impressed or not, or whether she was really grateful or not, Boss Cheng didn't know. After all, Boss Cheng was just a cook, not a psychologist. He didn't have the ability to see through the inner thoughts of a movie star-level agent.

Nick called Coulson and Hill away, leaving only the boss, the captain and Natasha to hang out on the deck. The three of them chatted while strolling, and Natasha told the captain that when he found his crashed plane in the ice, it caused quite a stir in SHIELD, and that Coulson almost fainted with excitement when he heard the news.

"Did he ask you to sign his treasured Captain America hero card?"

"Hero card? Mine?" the captain asked Natasha. "Like a baseball star card?"

"Yes, it's a rare and valuable collection, and he has always been proud of it."

"Wow! A die-hard fan!" Boss Cheng smiled and said, "My memory tells me that when I was young, I stole money from my family to sell Jay Chou's autographed CDs. In the end, I was cheated and lost everything. My grandfather also used me to make a pot of stewed meat with belts."

The captain looked at Boss Cheng with a half-smile and asked, "Didn't you say that your memories were all fabricated?"

Boss Cheng shrugged and said, "Anyway, I have this memory, and this memory tells me that I really got beaten. But from the perspective of someone who experienced it firsthand, I know nothing."

"Haha, that's a really strange memory!" Natasha shook her head and said with emotion: "It would be great if I had this ability too."

Not long after, when Boss Cheng ran to the parking area to touch the carrier-based aircraft, the other two also met a middle-aged man wearing a sloppy suit and looking very nervous on the deck of the aircraft carrier. When he saw Natasha and the captain, he immediately ran over as if he had seen a life-saving straw.

"Dr. Banner, right?" The captain took the initiative to extend his right hand.

Dr. Banner nodded and stretched out his right hand. He happily said to the captain: "I heard from them that you would come here."

"I also heard from them that you can find the lost Cosmic Cube."

Dr. Banner looked embarrassed again and asked the captain, "Have you heard anything else about me?"

The captain shook his head and said, "I only care about the Rubik's Cube."

Dr. Banner nodded gratefully.

Not long after, Boss Cheng returned and asked Natasha why it was 2012 and there were still backward things like Harrier fighters parked on the deck of the SHIELD aircraft carrier.

"Or are these fighter planes borrowed from some aircraft graveyard and placed on the deck to make up the number of planes so that the flight deck will seem too empty?"

Natasha: [?_??]

"Aren't many Hollywood military films shot this way?"

Natasha was really speechless, but it was not Boss Cheng who made her speechless, but she didn't know what these "ancient relics" on the aircraft carrier deck were used for. Because Natasha had never seen these fighters take off from the deck of an aircraft carrier.

Just like what Mr. Cheng said, the existence of these fighters is to make the aircraft carrier look impressive, so as to cover up the embarrassing situation that the F35 production capacity is seriously insufficient and the aircraft carrier has no fighters available.

"Why don't we go to the command center?" Natasha told the three of them. "It's going to be suffocating here soon."

As soon as Natasha finished speaking, a series of "rumbling" sounds rose from under everyone's feet. Everyone walked to the side of the ship and looked in the direction of the sound. They saw a huge turbofan slowly rising from the sea level. And there were three other turbofans of the same size also slowly rising out of the water.

Captain Rogers, who had learned a lot from Boss Cheng, asked Natasha: "Don't tell me that this boat is actually an oversized quadcopter!"

But obviously, the captain guessed right.

Even Boss Cheng complained: "They actually came up with a way to make the boat fly into the sky. This is not a question of how big their imagination is, but what kind of patient with advanced brain cancer could come up with such an unreliable and idiotic plan."

"Idiot?" Natasha looked at Boss Cheng in confusion.

"What else? Such a big thing is flying in the sky, and there is no other frigate to escort it. Even if this ship is equipped with an anti-gravity device, how high can a spacecraft that uses propellers to provide basic lift and control balance fly? 20,000 meters or 30,000 meters?

Besides, this is an aircraft carrier, with a bloated hull, which is a perfect target for ballistic missiles and space-based weapons. Even if it can be invisible to both vision and radar, it is just a slightly harder target to hit. It is impossible that such a large propeller can also be 100% noise and heat shielded! If you really have this technology, why are you still squatting on the earth? "

Then, the aerospace carrier slowly lifted off amidst the complaints of Boss Cheng. Nick Fury, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation in the command center, was also furious at Boss Cheng's words.

Who said you can’t see?

Nick's face had changed from the color of a braised egg to a dark, shiny dark soy sauce color. People who cook often know that dark soy sauce mixed with water is the color of a braised egg.

Do you think the Director of SHIELD looks ugly?

But Nick knew that what Boss Cheng said was right, because this ship was really suitable as a target ship. But this ship was already the highest technological achievement that human civilization could create. The research work on energy shields had not made any progress, and Tony was guarding against any advanced technology that could be used in war, for fear that it would be plagiarized by S.H.I.E.L.D.

If it weren't for the fact that the construction drawings of this aerospace carrier did not include any offensive weapons, Tony probably wouldn't even help build the ship.

But when Boss Cheng and his team arrived at the command center, Nick still had to greet these "ancestors" with a friendly face. He first thanked Dr. Banner for participating in the Rubik's Cube recovery operation, and then thanked the captain for helping him find the Rubik's Cube. But when it came to Boss Cheng, before he could even thank him, the other party pointed at his face and asked:

"You look really bad. Did you use shoe polish on your face as skin cream?"

"Pfft!"

Natasha, who knew everything, and the captain, who had sharp insight, couldn't help laughing.

Nick continued to tell Boss Cheng with a sullen face: "I used to be quite proud of myself before I saw the thing in your base."

"That's why they say that face-saving projects are not worth doing!"

Boss Cheng shrugged deliberately, and Nick Fury was so angry that he almost broke down. Nick felt that he was naturally restrained by Boss Cheng. Every time he met Boss Cheng, he was either physically beaten or mentally hurt.

"Where's Tony?" Boss Cheng asked Nick, "Why didn't he come?"

"He said that with you and the captain here, he basically has nothing to do. Instead of coming here to cause trouble, he might as well continue to study some new titanium alloy technology he got. So that's where he got his technology, right?"

"more or less."

"Haha, you are so generous."
