"Don't get excited, Pietro. Things aren't what you think, and it wasn't him who killed your adoptive parents."
"If you really want to know the truth, you should find him and get to know him," Ted said, trying to calm him down.
"Hmph, then count me in on this mission," Pietro responded thoughtfully.
"No problem. Let the employer know to come and collect the deposit, and call Wanda. The four of us will go together," Ted said as he turned off the TV with the remote.
"Hurry up and clean up the table, Wade. It's time to open for business, and I don't want you messing with my money. And remember to give the leftovers to Wilson."
"I don't get it! Why does the dog outside have the same name as me and wear the same eye mask? This is an insult to my great Lord Deadpool! I really want to stew him and make a hot pot! Damn it!" Deadpool spread his hands and complained non-stop.
Ted rolled his eyes. "Yes, yes, great Lord Deadpool. The dog outside the door might be you in a different time and space. You have no idea."
"If you don't shut up, I'll chop you up and throw you out for the homeless outside to eat. You know, the people in Hell's Kitchen don't care what kind of meat it is."
Ted silently thought to himself, "Open the all-seeing eye and start scanning."
"Ding."
"The all-seeing eye has been opened, and you can view the other party's corresponding information!"
A blue box appeared next to Deadpool, displaying several lines of text:
Basic Information:
Name: Wade Winston Wilson
Title: Deadpool
Race: Human? (Superhuman)
Favorability: Three Stars
Skills: Combat Skills lv10, Sword Skills lv9, Self-Healing Factor, Chatterbox lvMax, Taunt lvMax, Money Making lv6, Close Combat lv9, Endurance lvMax, Immortality, Mind Immunity, Breaking the Fourth Wall (Not Opened Yet)…
Looking at this luxurious panel, Ted couldn't help but feel envious.
Fortunately, this time the favorability unlocked the self-healing factor, giving him some self-protection ability. If it had been like last time, Ted would probably want to find a wall and restart right then and there.
That's right—the system rewards are random each time, and Chatterbox is okay. But previously, he had randomly received all kinds of bizarre skills like seduction, coercion, and male-male collision from those black-market deals.
Luckily, the system has a decomposition option, which allows him to improve existing skills after breaking down useless ones.
Each time random attributes are applied, his mood swings like a roller coaster. The dog outside is indeed a Deadpool dog. Ted's eyes swept over the Deadpool dog lying outside the door.
Basic Information:
Name: Wade Wilson
Title: Deadpool Dog
Race: Dog
Favorability: Four Stars
Skills: Animal Language lvMax, Self-Healing Factor, Acrobatics lv8, Endurance lvMax, Catching lv10, Rolling lv10, Sensitive Sense of Smell, Hearing lv10, Space-Time Factor…
Yes, this Deadpool dog had already reached four-star favorability with Ted, but each time it only unlocked skills like rolling and Animal Language.
What's the use of a human knowing how to roll? Out of frustration, the only skill Ted kept was Animal Language.
As for the Space-Time Factor, Ted was also envious of this skill, which might explain why the Deadpool dog came to this time and space.
Generally, there's only one Deadpool in any given time and space.
Ted was also very worried that this time and space might be the one where Deadpool broke through the fourth wall and learned that Marvel was just a comic book.
However, based on the news, the Iron Man in this world seemed similar to the movie version of Tony Stark.
The most urgent task is to rescue Tony Stark from Afghanistan and then become friends with him. Ted felt burdened by the weight of his knowledge.
Thinking of this, Ted said, "Wade, there's a business opportunity that's sure to make money. Do you want in?"
"What about me? Take me with you, Ted. Remember to call me if there's anything good," Pietro said, suddenly teleporting in front of Ted and shaking his shoulders excitedly with both hands.
Ted slapped Pietro's hands away in annoyance and said, "Can you use your superpowers less? Do you want the whole world to know you're a mutant? Fortunately, this is Hell's Kitchen."
Name: Pietro Maximoff
Title: Quicksilver
Race: Mutant
Favorability: Five Stars
Skills: High-speed movement, Strength lv10, High-speed Particle Vibration State, Endurance lv10, Fighting lv3, Gunmanship lv2…
Ted thought Pietro had a great superpower but used it every day in this place. His favorability reached five stars. Saving this kid and Wanda wasn't in vain.
But his combat skills were really weak. Ted needed to train Pietro well in the future.
"We can't let him get shot to death like Quicksilver in the Marvel movies," Ted thought.
Thinking of this, Ted wanted to complain. Quicksilver's death might have been due to the special effects being too expensive, so the director just wrote him out.
In any case, Pietro relied too much on his high-speed movement and didn't train properly. Ted needed to supervise him closely.
"What business? No money for nothing," Deadpool said, lounging on the sofa with his hands behind his head and one foot resting leisurely on the table.
Ted couldn't hide the smile at the corner of his mouth and said with a grin, "I'm going all in this time. I remember someone wise once said that going all in is a kind of wisdom."
"I plan to put all my cash—minus daily expenses—into the stock market and short Stark Industries."
"How about it? Do you want to go crazy with me?"
Pietro's expression collapsed instantly after hearing Ted's illogical plan.
"You're crazy. Even if Stark Industries' stock price falls now, it's only temporary. When Tony Stark comes back, the stock price will rise again. You're playing with fire!"
Deadpool turned around, ignoring Ted, and thought investing all his wealth in the stock market to short Stark Industries without leverage felt like a fool's judgment.
After considering it, Ted sneered. "You don't know what's good for you. When I make money, don't cry and ask me to lend you any!" If only they knew that Stark would shut down the weapons department in the future, causing the stock price to plummet.
