Chapter 2920: Leisure Time (1)

~11 min read 2,114 words

The weather in New York is always very sunny. The sky is too blue, making all the buildings on the ground look deep. The sunlight increases the contrast of everything, making the bright brighter and the dark darker. However, at nine or ten o'clock, it was already dazzling enough to make people unable to open their eyes.

Accompanied by the drip-drip sound of the coffee machine, the coffee liquid exuding a rich aroma flowed to the bottom of the cup. Shiler picked it up, took a sip, and let out a long breath.

The food delivery robot delivered the fried toast to the dining table. Aisha stretched her neck and looked at the robot's arm curiously. Just as her sharp teeth were exposed, she heard a helpless mechanical voice.

"Sorry, Miss Aisha, I guess you have a tendency to use your teeth to test the strength of the body. Please don't do this. My cost is very expensive, and I don't have medical insurance."

Aisha immediately showed a disappointed expression, her eyeballs turned, and her gaze fell on the plate again.

The tall Jason seemed to fill the entire kitchen space. He used a spatula to flip the bread, Tim was washing the butter off his hands, and Dick and Raven were dealing with the broken toaster.

Putting the coffee on the table, Shiler shouted, "Dinner is served!"

Obviously, Ultron was also notifying the people in the room synchronously. Pamela, with a bird's nest head, walked out of the room, let out a big yawn, and walked to the dining table in a daze and sat down.

"What did you do last night again?" Shiler put the coffee in front of her and said, "I must emphasize to you again, I don't want to stop you from chatting online, but I hope you wear at least one piece of clothing when chatting, underwear is fine, okay?"

Pamela reached out to touch a cigarette, but thinking that Aisha was still here, she withdrew her hand. However, she performed a smooth non-physical smoking performance, exhaled a breath, and said, "I am very conservative, and I wouldn't do such a thing."

"And then you sent your photos to 63 Tiktok bloggers in one day." Shiler rolled his eyes slightly and said, "You are simply the frontier tester for the accuracy of their software's big data push."

"This software is great!" Pamela took out her phone again and started taking pictures of her breakfast, typing clatteringly, not knowing who she was chatting with.

"You don't want to get Seeing Natasha anymore?"

"Children make choices, adults want everything." Pamela said the popular internet slang fluently, yawned again, and said, "Nick invited me to work at S. H. I. E. L. D. for a period of time, so I have a legitimate reason to approach Seeing Natasha..."

"In order to approach Seeing Natasha, you are even willing to work for Nick." Shiler had to give her a thumbs up.

"Do you think a professor at Gotham University would be any better than Nick? I work for them for free, but Nick at least pays me. He even promised to arrange my vacation on the same day as Seeing Natasha's."

"You are really too naive. What he meant by saying that is that you two will never have a vacation again."

Jason brought up the mixed salad, Tim was still cutting sausages, and Dick rearranged the ingredients they messed up in the refrigerator, saying while organizing, "There are too many things I haven't seen here, Doctor. I put them on the top layer, you can clean them up yourself."

"You really don't have to be so polite." Shiler said.

"Oh, don't say that, Doctor." Jason smiled at him and said, "We just arrived, it's only right for us to make a breakfast."

"My meaning is, if it weren't for you insisting on being polite, we should be eating a rich Chinese breakfast this morning, instead of this kind of white people's food." Shiler took a bite of the butter-fried bread, chewed it, and nodded.

"Can you cook? Doctor?" Harley was already dressed up and was fiddling with her new phone, but it seemed that she didn't have as much interest in Greed as she did in Pride, more like treating him as a good friend.

"I cook much better than that professor you know." Shiler said while eating bread, "Are you going shopping later? Do you want me to find you a companion?"

Harley hesitated slightly and asked, "Is he handsome?"

"1.9 meters tall, 180 pounds, specializes in butter-fried toast."

"And his last name is Todd, right?" Harley rolled her eyes and said, "I don't want to go shopping with men, they only spoil the fun."

"What are you thinking? I'm talking about Captain America. If you don't want him, then I can ask his girlfriend Carter. She should happen to be free."

Harley obviously had heard of Captain America. Her eyeballs turned and she said, "Is he and Iron Man real? I mean..."

As soon as Iron Man was mentioned, Shiler seemed to have just remembered something. He also took out his phone and started sending messages. Halfway through, he stopped, looked up at Ultron, and said, "Help me search for the largest mother and baby store, book a flying shuttle. Pepper is out of confinement. I bet Tony definitely forgot to take her out for some fresh air."

"What is confinement?" Pamela asked curiously. Shiler said these two words in Chinese, and she didn't understand.

"Tony Stark's wife Pepper gave birth to a child more than a month ago. Xu Shangqi introduced a Hong Kong nanny to Pepper, letting her follow the Oriental way to sit in confinement. Pepper is very satisfied overall, and she recovered very well. However, when I went to see her before, she said she was a bit stuffy. I suggested Tony take her out for a stroll, Tony should have been busy and forgot."

Harley seemed to know something about this. She said, "I heard that Oriental people drink a lot of herbal soup after giving birth, and have to lie in bed all the time. That's too terrible."

"That's all old almanacs from hundreds of years ago. They combined the classical and modern to develop a new way. Although herbal soup still needs to be drunk, they also arranged recovery courses like yoga exercise. I heard it's not bad." Shiler said.

Just as he wanted to continue saying something, his phone started ringing frantically. As soon as he picked it up, Stark's wailing came from the other side.

"It's over, I forgot!!! Where is the largest mother and baby store in New York?! I want to book a flying shuttle there right now!!"

"I've already booked it for you." Shiler sighed and said, "If the nanny leaves today, you give her a big red envelope... I know Pepper must have given it already, but you giving it is your business."

"You'd better be diligent when you go back, hold the child more, and it's best not to bother her with company matters. If the sky falls, your uncle will still be there to hold it up."

Hanging up the phone, Shiler shook his head. Harley, while cutting toast, said, "It sounds like his Stark Group is not running smoothly."

"It's not because of this, it's just that the interstellar transport system is not going well in the central region. Tony has been so angry by those rednecks recently that his anxiety is almost cured."

Harley laughed gloatingly and said, "He encountered the most difficult part of his career—letting rednecks accept new things."

"But he will also encounter a turning point soon." Shiler thought for a while and said, "The efficiency of commodity circulation across the country is rising infinitely. If they still intend to use trains and highways, this year's farm financial report will give them a punch."

When breakfast was nearing the end, several people started discussing their arrangements for the next few days.

Harley finished eating first. She wiped her mouth and said, "I didn't come here to play. I heard that you have already started interstellar colonization. I want to be the first to invest in some industries. The future appreciation prospects should be good."

"In the next few days, I plan to stroll around New York first, then go to the West Coast, and finally go to the Andromeda Galaxy and the Centaurus Galaxy. If possible, I also want to visit the capitals of the three empires."

"I'm not interested in aliens." Pamela said, "S. H. I. E. L. D. provides me with some optional tasks, and the rewards are quite good. I plan to work for a period of time first, and after having start-up capital, I will find a way to exchange it for technology and materials I can use."

"So you are going to Washington?" Jason asked, because he knew that S. H. I. E. L. D.'s headquarters had moved to Washington, not far from the FBI headquarters now.

"No, I won't leave New York first." Pamela ate the last piece of bread and said, "I will contact the New York branch first."

"Because Seeing Natasha is in the New York branch?"

"It's not entirely because of this." Pamela thought for a while and said, "I found that the public opinion environment in this universe is more inclusive than ours. Perhaps I can return to my old profession."

"Can the power of the Green be used here?" Shiler asked.

"This is in a Battleworld dungeon." Pamela said, "I didn't add a power limit card, so of course it can be used."

Shiler just remembered that they didn't come to this world through time travel, but directly queued for dungeons in Battleworld, and with the help of the Battleworld system, some powers of the two universes can be shared.

This is also relatively fair, otherwise mages like Constantine or Doctor Strange would become ordinary people after leaving their original world, then they would basically have no need to participate.

"You want to cultivate man-eating plants again?!" Dick said helplessly, "You have already dismantled two laboratories. It's not entirely unreasonable for those plant protectionists to complain about you, right?"

"I agree with them." Tim said, "If a cabbage in a vegetable field turns into a man-eating cabbage, it's simply unfair to other cabbages that can't move. You are favoring one side."

Pamela was obviously talking about something else. She said, "But I usually don't go to the vegetable field to pick vegetables. The vegetables I cultivate are carefully selected in the laboratory..."

"If you replaced the protagonists of your evil experiments with animals, I would find a way to send you to the police station." Dick said, "Kidnapping, dissection, hybridization, viruses, genetic modification, biochemical experiments..."

"I'm afraid you can indeed only find such laboratories in S. H. I. E. L. D." Shiler said, "I think you will have a lot of common topics with Nick."

"Why not with Seeing Natasha?"

"She is the product of biochemical experiments."

Jason pulled the topic back from the edge of danger. He said, "I do want to earn some money, but it doesn't matter if I don't have it. I am very interested in that solar system development plan. Where can I learn about relevant information?"

"Go find Captain America." Shiler also wiped his mouth and said, "The FBI has been recruiting agents to participate in the solar system development plan. Captain America is responsible for teaching newcomers. I can give you a student quota, so you can learn about internal news."

"That couldn't be better." Jason also took out his phone and fiddled with it twice, then said, "I followed Captain America's Tiktok. He posted many self-defense tutorials. I think he is a very charming person."

Dick leaned over, took a look at Jason's follow list, and then said, "You actually followed this robot called Master Ultron?! You don't think he can really conquer the world, do you?"

"I don't, I just think it's interesting." Jason said, "A robot actually has its own social account."

"I think it's a complete scam." Tim drank coffee and said, "There must be a team manipulating it behind the scenes. Didn't you see that there are shopping links under his videos? There are always people who will do anything for traffic."

Shiler laughed, and everyone else looked at him, but he didn't say anything. Dick took a look at Raven who was busy eating, and then said, "We also plan to stroll around New York first. I heard the scenery of this city is not bad."

"I'm going to Stark Group." Tim raised his hand and said, "If you can also get me an internal employee quota, that would be great!" ===== CHAPTER 2921 =====
