Chereads / My stand-in is Steve / Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

"This... It's really a treasure. "

Looking at the purple claws on Steve's hand, Fang Mo was obviously a little surprised.

It has to be said that Tony Stark is indeed a genius.

Even in such a difficult environment, he managed to build the small arc reactor.

As played out in the Iron Man 1 plot.

Of course, because of the emergence of Fang Mo's uncertain factor, Stark is not trying to make the MK1 warframe as in the original book, and then use the warframe to escape or something.

Of course, Ethan didn't die because of this.

However, after witnessing the atrocities of the terrorists, Stark has planted a seed of change in his heart, and it is only a matter of time before it comes to fruition.

Just like now.

Originally, the three of them discussed leaving here directly.

But after Stark left the cave, he suddenly changed his mind.

He saw that the valley was filled with countless weapons and missiles, all marked with the name Stark Industries, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

So he couldn't help but say to the two: "Can you wait for me?" I think I probably forgot something very important that I had to take some time to deal with. "

"What's going on?"

Ethan asked with some doubt.

"I have to destroy these weapons." Stark's expression was somewhat complicated: "I... Well, seriously, I never thought that these weapons would fall into the hands of terrorists, I thought they would bring peace to the world, but now it seems that I was wrong. "

"There is nothing wrong with weapons themselves, Stark."

Ethan tried to reassure.

"I know, but I can't escape the condemnation in my heart." Stark shook his head: "You know what? Even the terrorists were making fun of me, saying that Tony Stark was the most terrible murderer in the world. "

"Okay, so what are you going to do?"

Ethan asked.

"Give me a little time."

Stark explained: "I can make a time-lapse detonation device to make sure these weapons don't fall into the hands of other terrorists..."

As a genius who can rub out the reactor with his bare hands, Stark finished the detonation device almost with his eyes closed, and not long after the three left the valley, a deafening explosion resounded throughout the desert, and the blinding fire almost stained half the sky.

The vast desert, except for a few cacti, is full of scalding yellow sand.

This dull color extends to the end of everyone's field of vision, and the sun has made the temperature here very high, and even the air has turned into a boiling heat wave visible to the naked eye.

It didn't take long for Tony and Ethan to develop dehydration and even faintly suffer from heat stroke.

However, looking at Fang Mo's side, he seemed to be walking leisurely in the early morning forest, and there was no sign of pain on his face.

Even out of nowhere, he took out a few large cucumbers to hydrate the two.

Stark and Ethan chewed on the crisp and juicy cucumber, and their hearts couldn't help but rise with surprise and envy, they felt that Fang Mo's body seemed to be full of mysteries, and the more they touched it, the more they could feel his magic and difference.

And as for Fang Mo's own side.

In fact, when he encountered terrorists before, he had already realized it.

Steve, as the half of Fang Mo's soul, has shared all of his characteristics with him.

Now, Fang Mo's body has been completely digitized.

During the previous dispute with the terrorists, his braincase was shot through by bullets, and the result was only a small hole, and it was quickly refreshed.

As we all know, Steve does not have the setting of thirst, as long as he is full enough, he can walk like a fly in the snow or the desert, neither feel the cold, nor feel the heat, or even never feel tired, even if he is seriously injured almost fatally, he can recover in a few seconds.

And when Fang Mo inherited these characteristics, he had almost become a complete monster.

It was precisely because of Fang Mo's help that Ethan and Stark persevered, and as the sound of the helicopter got closer and closer, the two couldn't help but wave their hands excitedly.

The helicopter quickly noticed several people on the ground and slowly landed to the side.

As soon as the hatch opened, a dark-skinned sturdy soldier rushed out from inside, and Fang Mo recognized the identity of the other party in an instant, this guy was Tony Stark's good friend, the future war machine, Colonel Rhodes.

"Is the happy little jeep comfortable sitting?"

After seeing Stark, Colonel Rhodes was visibly relieved and teased with a smile.

Stark didn't speak, just gave a relaxed smile.

"Next time you get in a car with me, okay?" Colonel Rhodes patted Stark on the shoulder, and then the two directly embraced each other, showing brotherhood.

"These two are...?"

After greeting, Colonel Rhode noticed Fang Mo and Ethan on the side.

"Hello, my name is Ethan."

Ethan smiled and held out a hand: "It's a surgeon." "

"What about you?"

Colonel Rhode reached out and shook Ethan's hand, and then shifted his gaze to Fang Mo.

"A man trapped in the desert for five years, was found wearing hundreds of millions worth of diamond armor, and claimed to be an MC player." Compared with the honest Ethan, Fang Mo's self-introduction was obviously informal.

"What?"

Colonel Rhode was directly stunned.

"Ink below, just a passing stand-in messenger." Fang Mo said again.

"..."

Rhode did not speak, but instinctively became vigilant, and his right hand subconsciously put on the gun on his waist.

"Hey, Rod, don't be so nervous."

Of course, Stark also noticed this situation, in fact, after a period of getting along, his attitude towards Fang Mo also eased, although the other party's ability is strange and powerful, and often finds trouble for himself verbally, but it does not seem to be a heinous guy, at most it is a little neurotic: "Both of them are my lifesavers, and we said we want to go back to the United States together." "

"Is that so?"

When Colonel Rhode heard Stark say this, he slowly relaxed his guard.

Although his heart was full of doubts, he also knew that now was not the right time to ask questions, so he waved his hand and beckoned the three advanced helicopters to speak.

Soon the helicopter here started, of course, did not fly directly back to New York, but flew to the nearest military base, after all, this distance is still very long, so everyone also changed to a military transport plane.

It didn't take long for the transport plane to arrive at a military base in New York.

The hatch slowly opened, and Pepper Potts, the secretary who had already received the news, and Harpy, the butler, were already waiting here.

"Your eyes seem to be a little red."

After changing into a clean suit at the military base, Stark's temperament obviously became a little messy, and I saw him slowly walking towards his little secretary: "Let me guess, it won't be tears for your long-missing boss, right?" "

"It's because of joy."

Potts' eyes were red, but he laughed: "I finally don't have to look for a new job." "

"Oh, that's right."

Stark raised his eyebrows unexpectedly: "Your vacation is over." "

After a short exchange, Stark also introduced Ethan and Fang Mo to Potts, and then several people got into the car directly, and at Stark's instruction, Harpy stepped on the accelerator and drove directly to the nearest burger restaurant.

After drinking and eating, Stark directly held a press conference.

Journalists are always the fastest creatures in any country, especially the press conference of Tony Stark, the richest man in the world, who will never be absent no matter what.

And Stark did not live up to them.

He threw a bombshell news and shut down Stark Industries' weapons division.

In an instant, the whole society seemed to shake, the shareholders were angry, and all kinds of news were overwhelming, which instantly plunged all layers of the entire Stark company into a state of anxiety.

However, Stark didn't care about all this.

After settling Ethan and Fang Mo, he went straight into his laboratory without moving.

As for Fang Mo's side.

He didn't bother Stark.

Fang Mo, who had read the original book, knew that Stark was not crazy, he just wanted to catch the spark of inspiration that flashed in his mind, after all, now that he has a small reactor, is it far from the steel armor?

What's more, Stark's side aside, Fang Mo himself also needs some time to experiment now.

No way, after all, Fang Mo is now new to the Marvel world, many stand-in features have not yet been tested, rather than suffer losses because of not understanding the characteristics in the subsequent crisis, it is better to test more now.

Combined with his previous encounters, and after a series of detailed tests.

Fang Mo finally thoroughly understood his stand-in ability.

The first is the aspect of strength.

Fang Mo found that his physical strength was very terrifying, and it was not a problem to kill a person with one punch.

Fang Mo guessed that this should be because he shared his life with the stand-in, after all, the body has been digitized, then naturally it surpasses humans, Steve can break a tree trunk with a diameter of one meter with his bare hands, why can't he do it?

In addition to the increase in strength, Fang Mo also discovered something else.

Probably due to the factor of flexible movement of the module, Fang Mo's stand-in is extremely flexible in the real world, not as dull and stiff as in the game, and it can even pull out a knife flower with an iron sword in mid-air.

Of course, in addition to this good news, Fang Mo also found a very serious problem.

Steve can't gather resources in the real world.

As early as when he was in the cave, Fang Mo tried to let Steve dig the rock, and the result was that there was indeed one cubic meter of rock missing on the mountain wall, but he did not find any drops.

Fang Mo, who did not believe in evil, dug another cactus on the road, but the result was the same.

The cactus did disappear, but it didn't have any drops.

Fortunately, the blocks that Steve brought out of the MC world were not limited in this regard, and could not only be placed at will, but also re-excavated, which made Fang Mo slightly relieved.

And in addition to these features.

Fang Mo also found another characteristic that attracted him very much.

I saw him control Steve to take out an apple from his backpack and hand it to himself.

The apple held by Steve in his hand still maintains the unique pixel style of MC, but when Fang Mo reached out and touched this apple, suddenly the white light flashed, and the pixel-style apple directly turned into a real red apple.

This process is irreversible.

Fang Mo tried to reinsert the apple into Steve, but failed.

"So that's it..."

After some research and comparison, Fang Mo nodded subconsciously: "Items in the MC world can be transformed into items in the real world, but not the other way around... That is, is this a logical rule of one-way circulation? "

As he was thinking, Fang Mo suddenly noticed the hand of the ender in Steve's backpack, and suddenly his heart moved: "Then if something that does not exist in this world has been transformed..."

"And what will it be?"

Looking at the purple glow in his palm, Fang Mo was also stunned.

He never thought that his stand-in Steve could still play like this.

Due to the fact that the rules of the real world are different from the MC world, the nature of the hand of the ender has changed very significantly after being touched by Fang Mo.

In the game, the function of the Ender Hand is actually very simple.

The left button deals 6 damage, the right button grabs a block and throws it at the enemy, and then holding down SHIFT+right button allows the player to teleport.

But after being touched by Fang Mo, this thing is no longer a game item.

Instead, it becomes something that really exists in reality.

This is actually very unreasonable, it feels like Fang Mo put forward an unreasonable request, and then let the rules of this world look at it by themselves, how can they transform it into something relatively reasonable.

Now, the transformed Ender Hand has been completely integrated with Fang Mo.

As long as Fang Mo's mind moved.

His hand will glow purple.

Fang Mo tested it a little and found that this was probably something similar to an energy force field, which could not only increase the power of his fist, but also be used to take objects through the air.

Even if Fang Mo wanted to, he could teleport in a small area.

"Groove... That's pretty cool..."

Fang Mo clenched his fists, obviously a little excited: "This is much easier to use than the hand of ender in MC." "

After tasting the sweetness, Fang Mo transformed some other items one after another.

However, it turns out that not everything can be transformed into Fang Mo's ideal appearance like the hand of ender.

Take a stone pickaxe as an example.

Fang Mo touched a stone pickaxe, and then white light flashed, and a pickaxe made of stone and wood really appeared in front of him, but after losing the excavation rules in MC, Fang Mo just hit the ground with this stone pickaxe, and the tip of the pickaxe was directly collapsed out.

In addition, Fang Mo also tried the torch.

The result was an extra burning torch in his hand.

This torch also lost the rule of never extinguishing in MC, and after burning for a while, gradually turned into a small pile of ashes.

Fang Mo thought for a while and felt that the problem still lay in the rules of the world.

Things like stone pickaxes, torches, or various foods, because they already exist in reality, they lose their MC characteristics after transformation and become ordinary items that can be found everywhere in the real world.

But the Hand of the Ender is different.

You know, this thing originally did not exist in the real world.

It is precisely because of this that the hand of the ender can reasonably retain its original ability settings after it is transformed, such as being able to grasp objects, teleport, or increase the power of fists.

"It seems that the glass sword can't be transformed casually."

After figuring out the principle of this, Fang Mo's heart also rose a glimmer of understanding.

According to the logic of this transformation characteristic, if you transform the glass sword, then it is very likely that because there is glass in the real world, you will directly give yourself a polished glass strip.

Fang Mo said that he wanted that thing to have a fart ah.

"Forget it, let's eat something first."

Shaking his head, Fang Mo temporarily put down the test of the double's ability and prepared to rummage through the refrigerator instead.

This is also a characteristic that Fang Mo only understood in the burger restaurant before, and the satiety of himself and Steve is also shared, Steve's side can gnaw carrots to restore satiety, but at the same time, Fang Mo can also eat real-world meals to fill hunger.

Whether it is Steve or Fang Mo, as long as either of them is full, the other one will also be full.

"Jingle bells!"

However, before Fang Mo could open the refrigerator, suddenly there was an electric bell at the door.

"Huh?"

Hearing the doorbell, Fang Mo was also slightly stunned.

You know, the location of the house he is living in is actually very remote, so under normal circumstances, no one will disturb him.

Opening the door with some doubts, Fang Mo found that a somewhat balding middle-aged man was standing outside the door.

"Hello, Mr. Fang Mo."

The man outside the door was wearing a suit, although his hairline was a little worrying, but his temperament was very approachable, and at this moment Fang Mo showed a smile: "My name is Phil Coulson, from the Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency, I came to consult you about some things this time." "

"I guess Nick Fury must have made you work overtime a lot."

Fang Mo looked at Coulson in front of him, and couldn't help but complain: "With your pitiful hair, I can't help but want to sprinkle a handful of bone powder on your head." "

"... Do you know the chief? "

Hearing this, Coulson was also a little surprised, and the intelligence did not say that the other party knew his top boss so well.

"The famous Maja Fake man, who doesn't know this." Fang Mo nodded, and then greeted, "Anyway, let's sit first." "

"Okay."

Although full of questions, Coulson walked in with the other party.

As soon as he entered the house, Coulson looked around, after all, according to the description in the intelligence, the guy in front of him should be an Eastern wizard or something, and as an agent, collecting intelligence is his job.

It's a pity that he didn't see anything like a magic array, an altar, or a candle, and although the whole room was not spotless, it was still clean and nothing suspicious.

"Sit down."

Fang Mo sat on the sofa with a casual expression: "Didn't you say that you want to consult me about something?" Now it's time to ask. "

"We already know your specific situation." Coulson asked, "Did you approach Stark for any purpose?" Your special abilities... Or how did witchcraft come about? "

"It was said that I was a stand-in messenger."

Fang Mo spread his hands and said: "This thing is what I naturally awakened, there are more functions, I can't tell myself, in short, it is a kind of thing like a guardian spirit." "

"Then you approach Stark..."

"I just ran into Stark in the desert." Fang Mo interrupted: "Whether it's his money or the strange science and technology in his head, I'm not interested, it's better to say that he is quite interesting, I don't mind having such a friend." "

"But Stark is the richest man in the world."

Coulson was obviously a little unconvinced: "Your appearance is too mysterious, we have reason to suspect..."

"You know a hammer."

Fang Mo rolled his eyes and asked, "Have you ever heard of alchemy?" "

"That was... What the? Of course Coulson hadn't seen it: "Is it the one I understand?" Midas in Greek mythology? "

Fang Mo shook his head, and in the next second, his mind moved slightly, and Steve standing behind him silently took out a gold ingot and handed it to him, and the original pixel-style gold ingot directly turned into a giant gold brick the size of a millstone the moment it touched Fang Mo's palm.
