Lu Mingfei doesn’t want to be a superhero

Avengers base, in Lu Mingfei's office.

The little devil sat on the edge of the large desk, with his left hand holding a pergola in front of his forehead, squinting his eyes and looking at the mountains and forests outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

Although the Avengers' base is not in a downtown area, it is not considered desolate. The lush forest in the distance was transplanted by Tony in order to add some pleasing greenery to the base.

"Long time no see." Lu Mingfei walked over, put his hand on the little devil's head and rubbed it, as if he was really saying hello to his younger brother.

After all, we have been getting along for a long time, and the little devil has indeed helped me a lot. Although I am becoming more and more wary of this guy of unknown origin, at least on the surface, when we get along with him, we are naturally quite friendly.

"Yeah, long time no see." The little devil raised his head and opened a pair of big watery eyes. "So brother, why don't you consider giving some business support to the brother who hasn't seen you for a long time? For example, spend a quarter of your life. Just buy something and think of it as supporting your lovely brother’s performance.”

"Then it's better not to see you." Lu Mingfei took two steps back.

"Just kidding, we devils are very principled and will never let customers spend their precious lives buying unimportant things." The little devil said sternly.

"Really?" Lu Mingfei looked unbelieving, "Aren't devils synonymous with cunning?"

"Of course it's true. As far as I know, the most egregious deals my colleagues have ever made are selling refrigerators to the Eskimos, electric heaters to the Africans, and selling to the Atlanteans. Dehumidifiers and selling garlic pie on silverware to vampires.”

"I won't complain about the first two. What the hell are the last two... There can't really be Atlantis and vampires in this world, right?" Lu Mingfei twitched the corner of his mouth.

"How come there isn't?" said the little devil, "Brother, why are you showing such a surprised expression? If we really want to talk about it, you are much more unscientific than Atlantis and vampires, right? You are God! "

"If I were God, I would tie you up first, hang you up and flick your forehead a hundred times." Lu Mingfei complained.

"Chenghui, one quarter of life," the little devil stretched out his hand with a determined look on his face, "Brother, how do you want to be tied? Tortoise-shell bondage or European straight-arm bondage? How about I become like Esdeath? As long as I accept the reward. , we always serve wholeheartedly, if you want me to become Mai Shiranui and Tifa, it’s no problem!”

Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes and refused to answer the words of this wretched little devil. Instead, he said: "You have said that I am God twice, and I can indeed hear voices that sound like believers in my ears..."

"Chenghui..." The little devil stretched out his hand.

"Farewell!" Lu Mingfei waved his hand, "You'd better give me a different style!"

"No, no, no, this is a free gift." The little devil stopped him quickly.

Lu Mingfei shrugged and motioned for him to continue.

"Brother, of course you can't be regarded as the God described in the Bible. Those monotheistic believers are not ashamed to brag. If the God in the Bible really jumped out, Dormammu would have to call him daddy," Xiao The devil said, "But the God in the book does not exist. Brother, you are really the 'God' in the hearts of a large number of believers on the earth."

"Because some people believe in me devoutly, so their ideas came to me and I heard them?" Lu Mingfei understood somewhat.

"That's not how it works. If only a few people believe in you, even if they believe enough to die for you, it's impossible for you to hear the voices of believers," the little devil said, "There must be a considerable number of people who believe in you. , only the most pious among them can pass on their prayers.”

"Then why are there robbers among my most devout believers? After all, God's teachings will not directly allow or even encourage believers to rob, right?" Lu Mingfei complained.

"Not following the doctrine does not mean not believing in God." The little devil's words left Lu Mingfei speechless.

"No, just wait a moment," Lu Mingfei suddenly reacted, "You said that a considerable number of people must believe in me for this situation to occur. How many people are needed?"

"It depends on factors such as the number of believers, life level, belief time, degree of belief, daily prayer time, etc.," Lu Mingze said, "However, a conservative estimate is that at least three million people must truly believe in you. exist."

"Please note that this is not the kind of belief that leads to religion just by giving an egg. It is the belief from the bottom of one's heart that your 'God' does exist in the world and is willing to believe in you," the little devil said. "Considering that there are at least three million true believers, There will be no shortage of ordinary believers who follow the crowd. Brother, you estimate that there are at least eight million believers in this world."

"I heard that there are 2.2 billion Christians in the world. I only have 8 million, which is not much...what a ghost!" Lu Mingfei went crazy, "Didn't God's things be over before? ? How long have I been away, why are there eight million more believers as soon as I come back? There may not necessarily be eight million people in New York!"

The little devil spread his hands innocently.

"Brother, relax and think on the bright side," the little devil said. "It's not a bad thing to have such a group of believers. Their faith will provide you with strength."

"You mean the power of faith?" Lu Mingfei guessed.

"Well, the more believers there are, the stronger the power of faith, which can be used to do many things." The little devil nodded and counted on his fingers. "In addition to the unstable source, it will affect the user's mentality, and it may pollute the holder. There are no shortcomings except that it transforms into the image of a believer's faith and that it is inconvenient to use external energy."

"These shortcomings alone are enough, okay?" Lu Mingfei complained, "Based on these alone, I will never touch this thing."

"Brother, please wait until I finish," the little devil said. "Although the power of faith is useless most of the time, as long as there is a suitable converter, it is not completely unusable."

"Converter?" Lu Mingfei was stunned.

"The power of faith, in the final analysis, is actually the spiritual power born from the hearts of believers and dedicated to the gods in their hearts," the little devil said, "As long as these spiritual powers can be purified, they can still be used as energy. . Of course, it is best not to directly use it as your own energy source. Even if it is not contaminated, using your mind as your energy source can easily cause you to become mentally ill."

"Psychic power? Purification?" Lu Mingfei's eyes lit up, "I have the power of the Phoenix!"

Before he could be happy, the little devil poured a basin of cold water on him: "Don't think about it, brother. Using the power of the Phoenix will not purify the distracting thoughts in the power of the mind, but destroy all the power of the mind."

"What else can be used?" Lu Mingfei frowned and thought.

"Brother, do you still remember what I told you when you absorbed the energy of the space gem?" the little devil said, "There are six infinite gems in this universe, and they are..."

Lu Mingfei continued: "Remember, they are space, time, power, reality, mind...etc., the mind gem!"

"If you have the soul gem, you can use the power of faith, which is essentially spiritual power, at will." The little devil said.

"Bullshit," Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes, "Every Infinity Stone is a treasure in the universe. It's lucky to have space stones and time stones on the earth. Is it possible that I want to do this for the power of faith?" Going to find the Mind Stone all over the universe? What's the difference between asking me to fight king crabs in the sea for a bowl of vinegar?"

"Brother, please calm down. If the Mind Stone was somewhere else, I definitely wouldn't have brought this up," the little devil said with a smile, "To be honest, the Mind Stone that shook the universe is actually also on Earth. .”

Lu Mingfei:? ? ?

"No, wait a minute," Lu Mingfei touched his hair, "Is this the earth or the country of gems? There are only six infinity gems in the entire universe, and there are three on the earth. People who don't know think that there are only six infinity gems in the entire universe. There are two living planets, Earth and Asgard.”

"Of course, that thing was not originally on the earth. It was sent by a kind person who traveled thousands of light years away." The little devil said.

"I would like to thank that kind person who was struck by lightning," Lu Mingfei complained, "I would rather give up the power of faith than to have another such outrageous thing on the earth."

"But isn't the Soul Stone at your place now, brother?" the little devil said.

"In my place?" Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment and thought for a few seconds, "Wait a minute, it's not on Earth. A kind person sent it to me. It's in my place. The Mind Stone... holy shit! It can't be Loki's scepter!"

He reviewed several things he owned or even touched, and the most likely one was the scepter he had captured from Loki.

If you think about it carefully, the scepter that saved Loki from the attack of the Phoenix Force was definitely not a mortal thing.

And Loki also used the scepter to control Professor Selvig, and even later when Professor Lizard used the scepter as an energy source, the power of the scepter perfectly integrated it with Professor Connors' personality. This is probably also the power of the Mind Stone.

The question is...who would have thought that such an inconspicuous thing is actually one of the Infinity Stones, the Mind Stone!

It's like a gangster on the street used a laser gun that can kill people instantly when it hits, and then he was captured and disarmed by the police. As a result, someone came out and told the police that the gangster was not an ordinary laser gun, but a "cosmic laser gun." "Super Invincible Explosive Divine Light Laser Cannon", which can not only kill people, but also blow up planets. .

"Correct answer! My brother is so smart. That's the scepter, and the gem on it is the soul gem." The little devil nodded.

Lu Mingfei:......

I'd rather answer it wrong.

"Of course, it's definitely not possible to use the Mind Stone directly. The Infinity Stones are extremely difficult to control. And if, brother, you can control the Mind Stone freely, why do you need the power of faith?" said the little devil, "My method Yes, if you use the Silver Oak Sword to absorb a little bit of the power of the Mind Stone, the Silver Oak Sword will naturally be able to absorb, purify and store the power of faith."

"But I have tried it. The Silver Sword cannot shake the energy of the Mind Stone, so it cannot absorb it." Lu Mingfei shook his head.

The Sword of Silver came from the hand of the Dwarf King and is already an extremely powerful weapon, but it is still too difficult for the Dwarf King to directly absorb infinite gems.

If the Silver Sword is like a tiger with excellent teeth, then the Infinity Stone is a hard and smooth diamond ball. No matter how sharp the tiger's teeth are, it cannot chew anything off a smooth and hard ball. Come.

That is to say, part of the energy of the space gem is stored in the scepter, which is equivalent to the diamond ball falling into pieces before being eaten by the tiger. But even so, it needs the help of an external object - the power of the Phoenix. Digestion.

The Mind Stone is still very complete, and the Silver Sword has no room for discussion.

Lu Mingfei was not unmoved by the energy inside. The little devil said before that the Mind Stone was with him, which was actually not entirely true, because he gave the scepter to Tony for research before he left, hoping that Tony could help him research it. Ways to harness its energy.

At that time, he was very confident in Tony, but now he was worried about him. After all, no matter how talented Tony was on earth, things were one of the most precious treasures in the universe, and he might not be able to handle them.

"Since I brought it up, there must be a way for you, brother, to absorb the Silver Sword." The little devil said.

Lu Mingfei's eyes shone: "My good brother!"

"Chenghui, one quarter." The little devil stretched out his still slightly fleshy hand.

"You stingy and stingy devil!" Lu Mingfei changed his face at the speed of light, "Can't you just give me the method for free?"

"Brother, listen to what you have to say. Are we the stingy and stingy devils?" The little devil looked aggrieved.

"Is the price really not negotiable?" Lu Mingfei tried to struggle.

"Brother, what is your psychological price?" the little devil asked.

"Free." Lu Mingfei looked serious.

The little devil disappeared from the desk.

"Hey, brother, don't leave. We are in business. I will counter-offer on the ground, but you can raise the price on the ground..." Lu Mingfei called.

The air was silent.

After shouting twice, Lu Mingfei stopped. It wasn't that he gave up, but that he heard the sound of someone approaching outside.

After a while, the office was opened.

"Boss?" Wanda opened the door and was stunned with a feather duster in one hand.

"Wanda?" Lu Mingfei was also stunned for a moment.

Wanda opened the door and walked in, wearing an exquisite OL secretary outfit, a white shirt and a black jacket. On the chest of the jacket was a simple sterling silver badge inlaid with diamonds, with her name and position written on the top and bottom lines. The lower body is a one-step skirt that hangs just above the knees, outlining the young girl's beautiful figure and revealing a pair of snow-white slender calves.

"You finally came to work, boss." Wanda took the feather duster, closed the door of the office and walked in. "Can I be curious, where have you been during this time? As a newly appointed secretary, in the past two months, The biggest workload is to come in and build your office every four days - this is a job I took the initiative to do, otherwise the two of me would have done nothing."

"Isn't this bad?" Lu Mingfei asked, "It's always a good thing to have free time at work, right?"

"But I feel uneasy after receiving this salary." Wanda didn't know what kind of expression she should put on, "I feel like I'm almost becoming a wage thief."

She said it more tactfully. If it weren't for Lu Mingfei, a man, she would have wanted to complain, "Even the kind of lover who is kept by a big shot, I'm afraid the work intensity is higher than mine" - after all, lovers are still I have to sleep with big shots often.

"That's right, that's just right. I'll give you a task." Lu Mingfei said.

"No problem, boss." Wanda instantly stepped into the role of secretary.

Just as Lu Mingfei was about to speak, the office door that Wanda had just closed was violently kicked open.

A pair of pointed-toe office high-heeled shoes and black stockings, with graceful curves, stepped aggressively into the office.

One step later, Natasha strode in with a folder under her arm. The sound of her high heels hitting the ground became a drumbeat.

"Lu! Ming! Fei!" Natasha's voice resounded throughout the building, with the ferocity of a wife caught in bed or the police arresting a drug lord, "You are finally back!"

"Wanda, your first mission is to stop her!" Lu Mingfei ran away.

Wanda:? ? ?
