Lu Mingfei doesn’t want to be a superhero

In a certain room at Tony's house.

Although Lu Mingfei didn't turn on the speakerphone when answering Peter's call, he didn't specifically avoid it, so both Tony and Banner heard Peter's words.

"Wow," Banner looked at Tony and joked, "It seems that the technology patent of a certain great genius is going to be broken?"

Tony frowned deeply.

It's not that he's worried about others mastering controllable nuclear fusion technology. After all, when he was attacked by Ivan Vanko with a set of whip rope armor and a micro-reactor, it was already proven that he was not the only one in the world with Ark Reactor technology. ——Compared with the fact that the other party had the technology of the Ark Reactor, he was more concerned about where this thing came from.

Because for him, although the so-called micro-reactor technology is indeed considered high-end, it is far from the level that allows him to make a living with it - what he relies on is never a certain technology, but his own wisdom.

What he worried about was simple - the reason why he did not announce the reactor technology and was just an energy supplier was because he was worried that the world structure would be affected too early and wanted to do it step by step.

If he is willing to use micro-reactor technology to make money without restraint, the income will be dozens of times more than simply selling energy.

So when he heard Peter say that someone was researching controllable nuclear fusion technology, his first reaction was - how would the other party use this technology?

This is a technique that can cause three wars if you are not careful.

"Tony?" Lu Mingfei looked at Tony, obviously having the same worries as him.

As the atmosphere changed, Dr. Banner also reacted and showed a solemn expression: "Wow, this is really...a bigger trouble than the Hulk."

Tony nodded towards Lu Mingfei.

"Peter, continue talking," Lu Mingfei turned on the speakerphone, "Just in time, Tony and Dr. Banner are both here."

"Great! Everyone is here," Peter said. "To make a long story short, Dr. Otto is a university professor, and he and Professor Connors are friends. They have both accepted research funds provided by the Osborne Group. The difference is that he The research of Professor Connors is far more important than that of Professor Connors. Not long ago, because of Professor Connors, I went to attend Dr. Otto’s lecture, and he mentioned nuclear fusion technology in the class.”

"Because Dr. Otto was funded by Harry's family, Harry later asked me to meet Dr. Otto and his wife in private. He introduced me to his nuclear fusion device and research in more detail. Of course , he only told me the theoretical direction, and did not talk about any specific technology or parameters." As he spoke, Peter's tone became solemn: "But I feel that Dr. Otto's current technology is very unstable, and I am afraid something will happen."

"Wait a minute, he didn't give you any techniques or parameters. Why do you think his technique is unstable?" Banner was stunned.

"Because of my spider sense, Dr. Otto has a model of his nuclear fusion device running at low power in his laboratory. As his reference device, every time I look at that device model, I tremble all over and feel like I'm Standing next to a hydrogen bomb," Peter said.

"Be confident and get rid of the feeling." Lu Mingfei said.

"Anyway, I feel something is wrong. Dr. Otto said that he will demonstrate his new technology at the largest technology exhibition center in New York tomorrow, but if... I mean if, that device goes out of control..."

"It's going to blow up all of New York - physically, not rhetorically, right?" Tony interrupted.

"That's right, so... can you go and see it with me tomorrow?" Peter said cautiously.

"Do you only think of your friends when things like this happen?" Lu Mingfei complained.

"Is that so..." Tony rubbed his chin.

"Is that so..." Banner rubbed his chin.

Then the two of them turned to look at Lu Mingfei almost simultaneously, and said in unison: "Mingfei, why don't you go there tomorrow?"

"Damn it! When did you develop a tacit understanding in this regard!" The corners of Lu Mingfei's mouth twitched.

"It's not a tacit understanding," Banner said, "because Tony and I both have things to do, and the most suitable one is you."

Tony nodded, patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder, and said in a tone as if his father was encouraging his son to learn skateboarding: "After all, you are the only one left here."

Lu Mingfei's eyes were empty, and he swatted Tony's hand away: "Okay, okay, why don't you let me go?"

Tony and Banner were right. In the next few days, they would work together to create a large amount of dragon blood metal. Although the raw materials were now available, the manufacturing process also took time.

And after creating enough dragon blood metal, they still need to use these special metals to create a body for Ultron in the regeneration cradle, and some of them are very busy.

So the most suitable person to attend is indeed Lu Mingfei.

"If something unexpected happens then, you will just freeze the device." Tony said.

"It's easy for you to say, that's a nuclear fusion device." Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes.

Freeze it. If you want to be safe, it's best to use the final stage of Finbul Winter, "Wolf Winter". Even he will be quite exhausted.

…

The next day, in front of the largest technology exhibition center in New York.

Lu Mingfei sat in the Rolls-Royce and looked at Peter on the other side of the street through the glass - he seemed to be talking on the phone.

"Boss, is that your friend?" Pilcher sat in the driver's seat, "He looks younger than you."

"He is indeed younger than me. He is about to graduate from high school and I am already in college." Lu Mingfei shrugged.

"He too... huh?" Pilcher winked.

He wanted to ask Peter if he was also a superhero, or if he was from the Avengers, but judging from his slightly obscene expression, it seemed more like he was asking Peter if he had some kind of special profession - that is. The kind of profession where you dress fancy in bars and use sweet words to trick girls into buying drinks.

Is it time to rein in Pilcher's behavior? Ever since this guy started showing off everywhere, he has been getting closer and closer to being a playboy.

Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes: "Peter is a serious person, but... he is indeed our kind. Have you ever heard of 'a good neighbor to New Yorkers'?"

"He's Spider-Man?!" Pilcher looked surprised.

"Don't tell me you're a Spider-Man fan." Lu Mingfei narrowed his eyes.

"No, but every party I attend, there are many girls who are fans of Spider-Man. I talk to them about the insider information about Spider-Man that ordinary people don't know, and I get it right. They don't want to leave until late at night. , and as long as you give them a few Spider-Man dolls or pillows, they will rush to kiss you," Pilcher beamed, "By the way, according to my personal survey, the most popular superhero dolls are Spider-Man and Iron Man. It can only be ranked second.”

"Very good, I'll tell Tony when I get back. I can't wait to see his expression... Wait! Where did you get the inside information about Spider-Man!" Lu Mingfei suddenly realized something was wrong. How could Pilcher know a bunch of information? "The inside story of Spider-Man that ordinary people don't know"?

"Uh...well...actually it's not a big inside story, but as you know, boss, our Avengers is a superhero organization. Although the logistics base is full of ordinary people, everyone is very interested in superheroes. , I often talk about various topics related to superheroes, so I wrote them down." Pilcher said.

"Oh..." Lu Mingfei thought for a few seconds before reacting, "That's wrong! What kind of inside information do you think this is? It's just gossip heard on the roadside!"

"I heard this from the Avengers. Even if it's gossip... then it's considered authoritative gossip, right?" Pilcher said cautiously.

"What the hell! What's the difference between combining the words "gossip" and "authority" with "snow white" and "briquettes"?" Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes, "What gossip have you spread? "

"Well... for example, some people say that Spider-Man is actually a spider that was mutated by radiation and turned into a human, so his wife is actually a giant spider." Pilcher said, "Her wife was also exposed to radiation, but because The level is not enough, so only the upper body is human, and the lower body is still a spider, just like the 'net bride' in Japanese ghost legends."

"Huh?" Lu Mingfei was confused.

"This is a relatively niche theory! Some people say that he is actually a human being chosen by the spider god. There is also a more specific version that says that before white people landed on this continent, Indians lived here and worshiped animal totems. Later, As the number of Indians decreased, the belief in animal totems disappeared, and Spider-Man was the last person to believe in animal totems. He believed in spider totems, so spider totems gave him the power of spiders."

"Haha...has it started to develop into a myth?" Lu Mingfei deeply realized how wild gossip can be.

"There is also a scientific version. Some people guess that under the mask of Spider-Man is actually an ordinary rich and handsome man. Because his parents were killed in a robbery in an alley when he was a child, he inherited hundreds of millions of fortunes at a young age and was determined to punish criminals. He The ability to climb walls, as well as speed and strength all come from his suit. The reason he sprays out spider silk is because he has a high-tech spider silk launcher. He usually uses his identity as a playboy to be a superhero, but when necessary, he will change into a superhero. Be a 'good neighbor to New Yorkers.'"

"The script you mentioned sounds a little familiar to me, but not completely familiar," Lu Mingfei said.

"Of course, this is not the point. In fact, not many people pay attention to his origin. Everyone cares more about the private things of superheroes, such as whether they have had girlfriends or boyfriends," Pilcher said, "Anyway, we talked about When we talk about this kind of topic, I tell other girls that Spider-Man is a super charming love interest and has the most girlfriends in New York, so they will shift their target from Spider-Man to me."

"I will tell Peter this, wish you good luck." Lu Mingfei opened the door and walked out of the car.

"No, boss!" Pilcher quickly begged for mercy, "Wait a minute, Spider-Man can't catch me, right? Boss, can you help me get a few autographs? This is much more lethal to girls than sending dolls!"

Before closing the car door, Lu Mingfei politely raised his middle finger to Pilcher.

…

Lu Mingfei walked to the other end of the street.

There, "the man chosen by the spider god and the spider totem", "the rich and handsome man who uses high-tech suits to punish evil and promote good", "the super charming love prodigal", "the man who has had the most girlfriends in New York" , was on the phone with a dejected look on his face.

"I'm sorry, Mary Jane, I'm so stupid, I can't even do things like go to your show on time." Peter was completely immersed in the phone and didn't even notice Lu Mingfei approaching.

After saying a few more words, Peter put down his phone dejectedly.

"What's wrong?" Lu Mingfei asked from the side.

"Wow!" Peter was startled, "Mingfei? When did you come?"

"It probably started when someone said, 'I'm so stupid.'" Lu Mingfei shrugged.

Peter scratched his head: "I originally promised Mary to go to the theater to watch her show briefly, and she also prepared front row tickets for me, but I couldn't get there on time... You know, a little 'work' happened An accident."

I understand, it means that there is danger again, and Spider-Man needs to put out the fire, right?

But why Mary Jane again!

Lu Mingfei couldn't complain.

He now prefers that Peter be the "love slut" and "New York Love Saint" as Pilcher said in the gossip, rather than hang himself from a tree by Mary Jane.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's go," Peter raised the camera in his hand, "I still have to take pictures."

"Do you still have this kind of hobby?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"No, I'm working part-time as a reporter for the Daily Bugle, uh... a non-staff reporter. Although I don't get paid, the newspaper will buy my photos on a per-photo basis," Peter shook the camera and said, "I specialize in taking photos of Spider-Man. But in order to make ends meet, I have to shoot other things occasionally.”

Lu Mingfei was silent for a few seconds.

You're the first superhero I've ever seen who's so stupid that you take photos of yourself and sell them for money. Peter, do you dare to be more miserable?

"Well, after all, as an intern non-staff reporter, I only get half of the salary. If I don't take more pictures, it will be difficult to support myself. Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei are old, and I have to go to college again. I can't add more to them. More burdens," Peter said.

Okay, I take back my preamble, you can really be worse.

After glancing at Peter, Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment, and while following him into Dr. Otto's venue, he began to think about whether to let Peter join the Avengers.

Logically speaking, it is not good for minors to join a violent organization like the Avengers, as it will hinder the growth of teenagers - even if the teenager's strength can be measured in tons.

But from another perspective, although joining the Avengers will have an impact on growth, it is still better than what it is now, right?

Following Peter into the venue, Lu Mingfei and Peter walked to the front row of the crowd under the guidance of on-site maintenance personnel - this time Lu Mingfei came as a representative of the Stark Group, so naturally he did not have to squeeze in with other reporters. together.

He had a table in the front row with Dr. Otto's financial provider, "Norman Osborne."

"That's great Mingfei," Peter followed Lu Mingfei to the table. "This angle can take the clearest photos. James might give me more compensation. Oh, James is my newspaper boss."

Lu Mingfei:...

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot the most important thing," Peter whispered, "Mingfei, if something unexpected happens later, we need to save people as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, I brought a person who is very suitable for rescuing people." Lu Mingfei took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Pilcher.

[Be prepared and come in to rescue people immediately if there is an accident. 】

Pilcher replied instantly.

[No problem, boss. 】

Putting down his phone, Lu Mingfei looked up at Dr. Otto.

In fact, he had some impression of this doctor, because he had studied and communicated with many academic leaders back then, including Dr. Otto.

But it was just a one-sided relationship.

After exchanging polite words with Norman Osborn next to him, Lu Mingfei was a little surprised to see that Dr. Otto did not start the experiment immediately, but installed a set of "mechanical tentacles" on himself to control the device.

The installation method is... to use metal needles that can connect nerves to be directly inserted into the spine and connected to the spinal nerves.

hiss……

Looking at Dr. Otto's "experimental preparations", Lu Mingfei took a breath of air-were all scientists so cruel to him?
