Lu Mingfei doesn’t want to be a superhero

Lu Mingfei thought that he would appear at Tony's house during this time travel.

After all, the mechanism of time travel is that he will appear near things or people in this world that are closely connected with him. The closer the connection, the greater the probability of appearance. In this world, the person with the deepest connection with him is Tony, where he appeared before. Basically always around Tony.

But unexpectedly, he appeared in Kamal Taj this time.

Standing in this antique building, Lu Mingfei knew why he was here in the next second.

The wizard's unique portal with swirling Mars on the edge opened in front of him, and the ancient wizard and Dr. Banner walked out together.

He studied at Karma Taj for a period of time before, and now two people who are related to him are at Karma Taj. With the triple relationship superimposed, it is not surprising that he appears here.

"Master Gu Yi, Dr. Banner, good evening." Lu Mingfei waved to them and greeted them.

"At night?" Dr. Banner was stunned, "I just had breakfast."

"It seems that it was evening when you came here," Gu Yi said with a smile, "Come with me, it's time for Kama Taj to have breakfast, even though it's just some simple meals."

…

In a quiet room.

The three of them sat across from each other.

Lu Mingfei burped.

Master Gu Yi said that he was being humble when he said that he had a simple meal. During the time when Lu Mingfei was studying here, he always felt that the food at Kama Taj was quite good. Although the ingredients were all very common home-cooked ingredients, this place is still full of crouching tigers, hidden dragons. , the chef in charge of the canteen is very skilled and can make even ordinary ingredients quite delicious.

And the food here is good, which can be seen from another aspect - Dr. Banner has gained weight after not seeing him for a while.

"So during this period, Dr. Banner, you have been staying at Karma Taj to study in depth?" Lu Mingfei held up his chin, "You are giving up science and embracing magic."

"The generally accepted definition of modern science is 'an orderly knowledge system based on testable explanations and predictions about the form, organization, etc. of objective things. It is knowledge that has been systematized and formulated.' From this perspective, magic is nothing more than It's just a relatively niche branch of science." The person who said this was not Banner, but Master Gu Yi.

"When I was chatting with Thor, he seemed to have said something similar, saying that for Asgard, magic and technology are actually the same thing," Lu Mingfei said, "To be honest, I really want to take Tony with me." Come and learn magic. For someone as smart as him, he must be good at magic."

"Magic requires borrowing power from magic entities in other dimensions. Since you are borrowing, you have to pay a price. Whether you are smart or not only determines the speed of learning magic, but whether you can balance the cost and restrain the desire for power will determine the speed of learning magic. It is the most important characteristic of a mage," Gu paused and smiled, "Of course, this statement is not absolute. Occasionally, you can take advantage of some small loopholes."

"Small hole?" Lu Mingfei was curious.

"Ahem!" Dr. Banner coughed twice, clasped his hands together, and then suddenly pulled them apart. A thin line of fire was connected between his two palms.

As Banner turned his palm, the line of fire split into more lines, first turning into a simple geometric plane, then becoming more complex, and finally turning into several layers of complex formations in front of Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei's eyes widened: "Dr. Banner, have you learned magic?"

Banner saw the magic circle extinguished with his hands and said: "Actually... to be precise, Hulk and I learned magic together."

Lu Mingfei's eyes widened even more.

Hulk...learns magic? !

The image of a green giant wearing a mage's robe suddenly appeared in Lu Mingfei's mind. Lu Mingfei shook his head to dispel this strange scene.

Hulk learns magic? What magic did he learn? Learn to use a staff to knock enemies from one end of the Pacific Ocean to the other?

"Come on, let's talk in the spirit body, so it's more intuitive." Banner closed his eyes.

Lu Mingfei also closed his eyes. After his spirit body emerged from his body, he found that Master Gu Yi's spirit body had also left his body, and next to him, Banner's spirit body was...separating in mid-air?

In Lu Mingfei's field of vision, Banner's translucent spirit body seemed to have two layers of overlapping shadows, which felt a bit like people seeing things when they look at each other.

After a moment, the two shadows separated, and one of them expanded in an instant and turned into a green giant.

"Hulk," Lu Mingfei greeted Hulk, "Long time no see."

"Hulk! Magic!" Hulk hammered his chest.

"Dr. Banner, are you able to separate and talk to Hulk?" Lu Mingfei turned to Banner, who kept his original shape and asked.

"That's right. Under the guidance of Master Ancient One, I successfully separated from Hulk in spirit and were able to have a conversation." Banner was a little troubled, "But Hulk is not willing to listen to me yet."

"Banner! Listen to Hulk!" Hulk yelled.

"Okay, okay, I listen to Hulk, Banner listens to Hulk..." Banner quickly comforted Hulk.

After a while of comfort, Hulk calmed down. Banner turned around and said, "That's it. Now Hulk and I can talk directly in this way, and our magic and the magicians of Kama Taj Learning magic is actually quite different."

"It's different?" Lu Mingfei was curious.

"The power of mages is borrowed from powerful beings in other dimensions. Some of these beings are cosmic gods, some are powerful magical creatures, some are energy life forms, and some even used to be mages," Ancient One explained, "The casting of magic spells Corresponding energy sources are needed, just like different engines require different types of fuel."

"For example, most of the magicians of Kama Taj have contracts with Emperor Weishan. They can borrow power from Emperor Weishan to cast Emperor Weishan's spell. If they learn other spells, they are not able to use this spell. If you even sign a contract with the source, you won't be able to cast the spell even if you learn it. If you force the power of Emperor Weishan to cast other spells, the consequences will be unpredictable."

"Therefore, which magic entities to sign a contract with is also a question that mages should carefully consider," Gu Yi said leisurely. "There is a huge gap in the power of magic entities. Emperor Weishan is the leader among them, and in Weishan Under such a powerful existence as the Emperor, there are still many weak magical entities."

"Those weak magic entities will not choose powerful wizards when signing contracts, because it is difficult for them to collect the price due to the distance between dimensions. If the wizard is too strong, he may resist paying the price," Gu Dao said, "The magic of Banner and Hulk comes from those weak magical entities."

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, and a bold guess appeared in his mind.

"When the contract was signed, Banner came forward. In the eyes of those powerful magical entities, he was just a low-level ordinary mage who had just started," said Gu Dao. "When the price needed to be paid, Hulk came forward."

Lu Mingfei took a breath of cold air.

Isn't this just free prostitution? !

Banner scratched his head: "I thought this was not good at first, but Master Ancient One said that signing a contract like this is most of the time similar to making a deal with the devil in mythology. This kind of transaction does not require a spirit of fairness or a spirit of contract. , but clever means, deceiving the devil is what a mage should do, and Hulk and I are born with this advantage."

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but look at Gu Yi with strange eyes.

Master Gu Yi, why do you look so skilled?

…

Although he was also very interested in magic, Lu Mingfei hesitated and still did not study.

First, he is not like Hulk and Dr. Banner who can play tricks.

Secondly, he always felt that the borrowed things were not practical to use. Anyway, he had no urgent need for strength. It was okay to stab himself if it couldn't be done. Why did he have to play some "devil's deal" in case he was not careful in the end? If you play with yourself, wouldn’t it be worth it?

Moreover, he was targeted by the devil for the first time when his spirit body came out of his body, which proved that he was really unlucky in this regard, so it was better not to take risks.

Because he still had to study for a while, Banner still had to stay in Kama Taj. Lu Mingfei had nothing to do here, so he went to Master Gu Yi to say goodbye. Master Gu Yi very considerately helped Lu Mingfei open a teleportation But according to her, the portal can only be opened in a place that the mage is familiar with, so she only opened the portal in a small alley on the streets of New York.

Walking out of the alley, Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment - he saw a familiar figure on the street.

A young man wearing glasses was running wildly behind a school bus.

If Lu Mingfei's memory was correct, the boy chasing the school bus was the friend he met in high school when he first came to Tony's world - Peter Parker.

Lu Mingfei caught up quickly. With his current physical fitness, even a trot was faster than most people running for their lives. After a while, he caught up with Peter.

"Hey! Peter!" Lu Mingfei shouted to Peter.

"Ah!" Peter was startled and subconsciously stopped and turned his head, a little surprised, "Mingfei? Why are you here?"

"I'm here for a walk," Lu Mingfei made up a random excuse, and then looked at Peter with a strange look, "Peter, your way of exercising is very unique."

"What kind of exercise? Oh, no!" Peter slapped his head and turned to look over. The school bus he was chasing had already driven away.

"I wasn't exercising, I missed the school bus," Peter regretted. "Today the teacher took us to the Columbia University School of Science to see the genetic engineering of spiders. That bus took us to the Columbia University School of Science."

"Is that so? Uh... I'm sorry that I seemed to have caused you to miss the bus." Lu Mingfei was a little embarrassed and scratched his head, "How about I take you there? My house happens to be nearby. I will ask the driver to pick us up right away. ."

"Would this be too much trouble for you?" Peter was also a little embarrassed.

"It's nothing, I have nothing to do now anyway." Lu Mingfei said.

…

In front of Columbia University's Academy of Sciences, the students in Peter's class had gathered at the door, and a certain Rolls-Royce stopped on the roadside.

"Dad, can we find a corner to park?" Harry looked reluctant in the Rolls Royce.

"Why?" Norman Osborne, who was sitting next to his son, pointed to the door with a puzzled look on his face. "The main entrance is right there."

"Dad, we are a public school. I don't want to take a Rolls Royce to attend the class trip." Harry shook his head.

Norman was stunned for a moment, and did not refute his son, but stared out the window: "How about taking a Maybach Zeppelin?"

"We still have this car at home?" Harry was a little surprised. "Didn't it say that it is limited to only 100 units worldwide?"

Norman pointed out the car window: "The one percent is right there."

Harry looked over and was stunned.

Not only because of the car, but more importantly, the person who walked out of the car was actually his friend Peter!

Not only Harry, but other people at the entrance of the Academy of Sciences were also stunned.

Although they could not identify the specific model of the car, the car was more than six meters long, and it seemed expensive at first glance.

If the person in the car was Harry, no one would be surprised, but the person who stepped out of the car was Peter Parker!

When Peter got out of the car, the entire class's eyes were on him, making him quite self-conscious.

Fortunately, someone shared the gaze for him in the next second.

"It's Mingfei Road!" someone exclaimed.

As the second largest shareholder of Stark Group, Lu Mingfei is now a frequent guest in various news. What’s more, Tony also made a huge noise in the school, leaving Lu Mingfei a legend, so he As soon as he stepped out of the car, he was recognized.

"Go ahead, Peter, I won't join in the fun," Lu Mingfei said, "I'm not interested in spiders, and I've already gone through the withdrawal procedures. Strictly speaking, I'm an unrelated person now and can't go in."

Of course, in reality if he wanted to get in, all he had to do was ask Jarvis to call the president of Columbia University.

"Hey! Peter! You are...Mingfei, right?" Harry got out of the car and walked over, silently grateful that Peter and Lu Mingfei helped him attract the attention of others.

"Harry?" Lu Mingfei confirmed.

He had only been studying here for two or three days, and Lu Mingfei only knew two friends, one was his deskmate Peter, and the other was Peter's friend Harry.

"I'm so glad you still remember me." Harry seemed very happy and shook hands with Lu Mingfei.

"Are you Mr. Lu Mingfei from the Stark Group?" A middle-aged man who was somewhat similar to Harry came over. Although he was dressed as a businessman, he had the elegance of a scholar.

"Hello, are you... Mr. Norman Osborne, the chairman of the Osborne Group?"

Lu Mingfei was trained by Tony before and watched various business scenes, so he knew a lot about many big businessmen. Although he had not met Norman Osborne, his Osborne Group was also quite large. Although the arms dealer cannot be compared with the Stark Group before the transformation, it is not inferior to Hammer Military Industries.

Of course, it was Hammer Military Industries before the accident. Since the time when the war robot went out of control, Justin Hammer has been taken away for investigation, and Hammer Military Industries has been greatly affected by this.

"Yes, it's an honor to meet you, Mr. Lu Mingfei." Norman shook hands with Lu Mingfei.

"Me too."

Peter and Harry left first because they were going to visit the Academy of Sciences. Lu Mingfei exchanged some pleasantries with Norman, exchanged contact information in a business-like manner, and then parted ways.

Lu Mingfei had already given Peter his current contact information in the car before. Unlike Norman, he gave Peter a relatively personal contact information.
