Lu Mingfei doesn’t want to be a superhero

Lu Mingfei's home, Lu Mingfei's private laboratory.

Wanda looked at the scepter in front of her silently.

"Huh? Wanda, why don't you move?" Lu Mingfei was puzzled.

Wanda turned her head and glanced at Lu Mingfei - Is this why you called me here?

"Oh, by the way, the energy contained in the gem on the scepter is very strong. Wanda, you have to be careful." Lu Mingfei walked to Wanda's side, and the cold air in his hand condensed into a shield, "Let's do this, I will protect you from the front. You, it’s safer this way.”

As he spoke, Lu Mingfei stood on the ground with a giant tower shield as tall as a person in his hand.

Since absorbing the complete Finbul Winter, his cold energy has improved dramatically in both quality and quantity. Although the shield looks like just a piece of crystal clear ice, its defensive power is far better than most alchemical metals. .

Taking a breath, Wanda turned her face away from Lu Mingfei, raised her hands, and the light red energy spread out a smoke-like trajectory in the air, connected to the mind gem in the scepter, and followed Lu Mingfei's instructions. As he said, he began to use his own power to resonate with the gem, allowing the energy in the gem to be released.

Different from her brother's ability that was awakened by the power of gems, although part of her power comes from gems, most of it is actually the power she was born with, which is just hidden deep in her body.

The energy from the Mind Stone mainly helped her to stimulate the dormant power in her body, and thus infected her with some of the properties of the stone.

As Wanda continued to adjust her energy to the same frequency as the gem, the mind gem, which was wrapped in the red smoke-like energy, began to glow obviously.

If the light it emitted before was just like a fluorescent ore, now it can almost be regarded as a bright light bulb.

"Very good, the energy is getting more and more active," Lu Mingfei looked at Wanda and reminded, "Wanda, how are you? If you feel any discomfort, you must stop immediately."

Although he wanted the power of the Mind Stone, he didn't want Wanda to be hurt by it.

The threads of the Silver Oak Sword quietly spread on the ice tower shield in the hand. If there is an energy impact next, the Silver Oak Sword can absorb part of it.

"I'm fine... No, boss, although the contents inside the scepter are fine, the outer shell seems to be broken!" Wanda reminded.

"Shell?" Lu Mingfei nodded, "I understand, continue shaking the gem."

After he succeeded the Supreme Mage, the Eye of Agamotto left to him by the Ancient One Master was the container of the Time Stone. Although he had never opened it, he also learned about the appearance of the Time Stone from the description of the Ancient One Master - A green, oval-shaped gem the size of a grape.

If all the Infinity Stones are about the same size, then the gem the size of a baby's fist on the scepter is definitely not the real Mind Stone, but just a shell of it, just like the Space Stone wrapped in the Cosmic Cube. .

Sure enough, after Wanda spoke, the surface of the gem at the top of the scepter gradually cracked into cracks, but more powerful energy was revealed in the cracks.

A large amount of cold air emerged from Lu Mingfei's side. While strengthening the tower shield in his hand, it also built a thick ice wall defense around him and Wanda. Some of the cold air even condensed into a wall along the wall of the laboratory, making it stable. Protect the building structure from collapse in the subsequent impact.

As more and more gaps appeared on the surface of the gem shell, the shell's condition became increasingly unstable. Until a certain moment, the shell surrounding the Mind Gem on the scepter shattered. A huge energy impact suddenly spread, and the scepter was ejected. Flying out, there was only a small yellow gem suspended in Wanda's energy package in mid-air.

Fortunately, the energy impact caused by the shattering of the gem shell does not match the power of the infinite gems. Although it is still not to be underestimated by the standards of earth weapons, that's all.

The energy impact first destroyed the ice wall created by Lu Mingfei, and then fell on the tower shield attached to the Silver Oak Sword. A large amount of leaked energy was instantly absorbed by the Silver Oak Sword - this energy cannot be regarded as the soul gem. Core energy is relatively easy to absorb.

Since a large amount of energy was absorbed by the Silver Sword, the energy impact was greatly weakened when it passed through the tower shield. When it spread to the wall, it only caused a few cracks in the ice wall.

Moreover, the energy shock came and went quickly, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Lu Mingfei's eyes lit up, he glanced at Wanda, and after confirming that her condition was not affected, he shouted: "Wanda, hurry up, take advantage of the situation." Now, let the gems unleash their true power."

Wanda nodded, and as her energy output further increased, a thick yellow halo rippled around the suspended Mind Stone.

Under Lu Mingfei's control, the threads of the Silver Sword instantly wrapped the Mind Stone, greedily devouring the released energy.

As the energy output was increased to stimulate the power of the gem, Wanda, who was only slightly tired before, felt that her physical strength was being consumed at an alarming rate, and her whole body quickly became exhausted.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Mingfei felt that the Silver Sword had reached its limit. He turned to look at Wanda and nodded: "That's all."

At this time, Wanda had a layer of sweat on her forehead and her face was a little pale. When she heard Lu Mingfei speak, she breathed a sigh of relief and stopped outputting energy. The Soul Gem suspended in the air fell and was struck by the Silver Sword. It was held by a flickering silk thread and placed on the experimental table.

Lu Mingfei took back the Silver Sword and felt the extra energy belonging to the Soul Stone in it.

Wanda was panting heavily and her face turned pale. The moment she stopped releasing energy, she felt as if she had suddenly stopped while running vigorously. Her vision went black for a while, and dizziness surged uncontrollably in her head. Her feet went soft and she fell straight. He fell towards Lu Mingfei.

"Wanda!" Lu Mingfei quickly supported her, "Are you injured? Tell me how you feel!"

"I'm fine." Leaning in Lu Mingfei's arms, Wanda's originally pale face suddenly turned red and her whole body felt weak, "It's just that the physical exertion is a bit heavy."

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll take you to have a rest." Lu Mingfei said decisively.

The energy of the gem has been stored inside by the Silver Sword and cannot escape. It will be the same if he checks it later. But after all, Wanda came to help him to become like this, so it is better to take care of him first.

In order to avoid being invaded by the power in direct contact with the gem, Lu Mingfei used the Silver Sword to transform into a "tentacle"-like form to pick up the Mind Gem. He found a lead box in the laboratory and put it in, then supported the weak Wanda walked out of the laboratory.

…

The living room of Lu Mingfei's house.

Pilcher was playing "Bayonetta" on Lu Mingfei's PS4, but he was a little distracted.

"Is it really okay for my sister to go to the same room with Lu Mingfei? She is still a child. If there is no way to protect herself from Lu Mingfei..." Pilcher bit his nails, "Although Lu Mingfei sees He doesn’t look like a bad guy, and as a boss he spends a lot of money, but it stands to reason that a young, handsome and rich man like him will definitely have no shortage of women..."

"Well, and he has such a good relationship with that playboy Tony Stark, he might be like that guy, switching women every day... No, maybe several a day! He must be entangled with many women Unclear!"

Pilcher slammed the controller on the sofa and gritted his teeth: "No! My sister must not be with Lu Mingfei. Even if he is rich, my sister will not be happy! And he probably just wants to have fun. , this kind of scumbag cannot be trusted!"

"What kind of scumbag?" Lu Mingfei's voice came from the other end of the corridor.

Eh? Is this coming out? If you have this little time, you shouldn't be doing that kind of thing, right? Although it would be more than enough if you just wanted to do that kind of thing, but if you include the time it took Lu Mingfei to convince his sister and half-assed it, it would not be enough. So they probably didn't do that kind of thing.

Pilcher breathed a sigh of relief and looked in the direction where Lu Mingfei's voice came from——

At the other end of the corridor, her sister, with a rosy face, was "snuggling" in Lu Mingfei's arms. The little bird was leaning against him, and he was leading her over in a "half-hug, half-hug" posture.

Moreover, the hair on her forehead and temples was obviously a little wet, and it was sticking to her face at the moment.

Pilcher's eyes widened.

"Pilcher, why are you standing there dazed? Come here and help your sister! She has exhausted too much energy and seems to be a little overdrawn." Lu Mingfei said.

Too much physical exertion? ! Pilcher felt as if his heart had been pierced by an invisible arrow.

What did you do? Why did my sister lose so much energy in such a short period of time?

Helping Lu Mingfei help Wanda rest on the sofa and let her lie down, Pilcher looked at Lu Mingfei: "What did you do to my sister? Why did she suddenly become like this?"

"Well," Lu Mingfei pondered for two seconds. Considering that it was about the Infinity Stones, he looked at Pilcher sincerely. "It's not convenient for me to reveal too many details. You can ask Wanda after she recovers." . But I can guarantee that your sister was not injured, and there will be no next time."

Pilcher must not be told about absorbing the energy of the infinite gems. The less people know about it, the better. Even Wanda, who helped her release the energy of the gems, didn't know that the thing inside the scepter was the mind gem.

Moreover, the Sword of Silver has also swallowed up the energy of the Mind Stone. Even if there are other gems in the future, Wanda's ability should be of no use to them. There is really no need to ask her for help.

"It's not convenient to disclose, but there won't be a next time?" Pilcher's eyelids twitched, and while maintaining the last bit of reason, he knelt down and looked at Wanda, "Sister, what did the boss do to you?"

Wanda, who was full of exhaustion, glanced at her brother with dull eyes and shook her head slightly: "Brother, I don't want to talk now..."

"I'll take a nap first and then I'll tell you." Before she could say this, Wanda saw Pilcher jumping up from the sofa as if he had been greatly stimulated and launching his attack towards Lu Mingfei. He made a suicidal charge: "Asshole boss! I'll fight you!"

Lu Mingfei:? ? ?

Wanda:? ? ?

…

A moment later, Lu Mingfei grabbed Pilcher's arms and pinned him down on the coffee table.

Although he can't keep up with Pilcher's speed under normal circumstances, in the final analysis, Pilcher's speed is not caused by his physical fitness, but the effect of his supernatural powers. Although his actual physical fitness is stronger than that of ordinary people, it is not stronger. qualitative gap.

At least his own physical defense would never be able to withstand bullets.

In this case, Lu Mingfei doesn't actually need to keep up with Pilcher. He just needs to create a large-scale cold field centered on himself and lower the temperature. Pilcher's cold resistance is also stronger than ordinary people. Must be limited.

If the temperature is lowered to a certain level, Pilcher's speed will be greatly affected. It will not be difficult for Lu Ming to catch him - especially among the frost giant witchcraft he knows, there is also a kind of frost giant that can create fire in a certain area. A large number of fine ice crystals, a spell that enhances insight.

After being held down by Lu Mingfei, Pilcher had to calm down and communicated "calmly" with Lu Mingfei.

"So, you really misunderstood. How could I do that kind of thing with your sister?" Lu Mingfei's mouth twitched and he let go of Pilcher who was being held down by him. "There is something about me that looks like a pervert." Are you caught by a hungry ghost?"

"Uh..." Pilcher stood up, looking embarrassed.

If something really happened, then he could point at Lu Mingfei's nose and shout righteously, "I see you look like a pervert!" But now that it was proven that he had misunderstood, he said nothing. Justify the loss.

Wanda, who was lying on the sofa with a tired face, simply covered her red cheeks with a sofa pillow.

What did the bastard brother say? Said she was talking to the boss... to the boss...

"And if I remember correctly, you seemed to have used my car to hook up two girls at a pool party last week and go to the hotel together, right?" Lu Mingfei asked with blank eyes, "Where do you come from? I?"

"Brother, you are such a person!" Wanda opened the pillow covering her face, glared at Pilcher angrily, and then quickly covered herself under the pillow again before meeting Lu Mingfei's eyes.

"I...I..." Pilcher looked guilty, "Boss, how did you know? You weren't using Jarvis to spy on me, were you?"

"Still using Jarvis?" Lu Mingfei's face was dark, "You just use my car to pick up girls, but you actually use my identity as my exclusive driver to go to a hotel under my name to get a free room. What do you think about the hotel? Will the person in charge not report it to me?"

"Boss, I was wrong!" Pilcher decisively slid to his knees.

"One or two, can you not play so much in normal times? Don't forget that you are my exclusive driver and represent my face. Don't make scandals everywhere," Lu Mingfei scolded, "Can't you just learn from me? I have never had any promiscuous relations between men and women, I don’t even have a girlfriend, and I don’t even know a few girls.”

"Boss, this is not something to be proud of," Pilcher complained.

"Still talking back!" Lu Mingfei showed off his boss's aura.

"I'm sorry, boss, I was wrong!" Pilcher stood at attention.

Lu Mingfei sighed helplessly and sat down on the other corner of the sofa.

Wanda quietly moved some pillows away, peeked at Lu Mingfei from the corner of her vision, and found that he looked thoughtful.

Because Lu Mingfei discovered something he had not expected.

After sitting on the sofa, he began to let the Phoenix Power digest the power of the Mind Stone absorbed by the Silver Sword - only a power of the Phoenix Power's level could use the power of the Infinity Stones for his own use.

And the power of the Phoenix began to absorb the power of the Mind Stone, and tiny bits of power began to be incorporated into the Silver Oak Sword - these powers that came from the Mind Stone were actually the same as those that originally existed in the Silver Oak Sword. The power of the Space Stone resonates!

No, it can't even be said to be resonance. After the power of the Mind Stone is absorbed by the Silver Sword, it directly and actively merges with the power of the Space Stone and merges into one.

Not only was the power of the space gem not affected by this, but it began to increase significantly.

Are the powers of the Infinity Stones integrated into one body? Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, but he wasn't too surprised.

After all, Lu Mingze had told him that the Infinity Stones were born together and were connected to each other, so it seemed normal that the energies could merge with each other.

However, this fusion is not a simple addition. Lu Mingfei can feel that as the power of the Mind Stone is integrated little by little, the Space Stone, or the new fusion power, is growing at a geometric speed.

Is this a qualitative change caused by the energy fusion of the infinite stones?

While Lu Mingfei was studying the characteristics, Pilcher said: "Boss, let's send my sister to the guest room to rest... Hey, someone is coming outside!"

Lu Mingfei looked toward the door in search of sound, and happened to see a tall and beautiful figure pushing the door open. Different from the sloppy image when they spent time together in the laboratory, Dr. Zhao now wore a designer dress that showed off her figure. , also put on light makeup, full of the elegant charm of an intellectual woman.

"Dr. Zhao? Why are you here?" Lu Mingfei stood up from the sofa, a little surprised.

Helen Zhao, who walked into the living room, smiled slightly: "Mr. Tony told me not long ago that you were back. It just so happened that I had some new ideas about the regeneration cradle that I wanted to talk to you about, but you never came to me, so I had to come to your house. Visited."

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but although Helen Zhao smiled and looked elegant and intellectual when she spoke, Lu Mingfei always felt that her words seemed to be mixed with a trace of...complaint?

Wanda, who covered herself with a pillow, quietly removed the pillow and narrowed her eyes to look at Helen Zhao. Her female instinct made her feel that something was wrong with the woman in front of her.
