Chapter 3006: Mercury Record (3)

After the banquet ended, several people got into the car against the cool evening breeze. Lex indicated that this was a matter within your Justice League, so he wouldn't participate, and Arthur prepared to drive to pick up the last person, Oliver.

Oliver was working in a bar in Metropolis now. When Arthur arrived, he saw him mixing drinks at the bar. He went up and greeted him. Oliver said somewhat pleasantly, "Why are you here? Finally have time to come for a drink?"

"We have something to find you. Can you ask for leave?"

"No problem. The bar owner is an acquaintance of mine. I saved his life from drug dealers before, so he's quite easy to talk to. You wait a moment, I'll make a phone call."

"Oh, right, we might stay overnight there, so bring a few bottles of wine, bring some snacks, do you have ice cubes? Bring a bucket..."

Soon, the two left the bar with large and small bags. There were only the two of them in Arthur's car. Arthur put the things into the trunk, entered the driver's seat, and then said, "It looks like you've been doing pretty well recently. Are you still chasing that group of drug dealers?"

"No matter how much I kill, I can't kill them all." Oliver sighed and said, "The lair of this group of guys is in Mexico. One batch is killed, and there's another batch."

Arthur nodded and chatted with him about work at the bar and other issues. Oliver said, "I'm glad you didn't chat with me about Mexico. Everyone is asking for my opinion, as if I can't live without leaving there, but it's just a part of my life."

"It sounds like you found another part." Arthur teased, "Is it that blonde girl I saw last time?"

"Which one?" Oliver rolled his eyes and said, "There are many girls where I work. They all like me, feeling that I'm a person with a story."

"Don't beat around the bush with me. It's that blonde girl you saved in Mexico before. You two even had a big adventure on some cruise ship. You saved her so many times, she must have promised herself to you, right?"

"You mean Dinah? I have no feeling for her." Oliver shook his head and said, "I feel she's still a little girl."

"Don't say it as if you are very old yourself." Arthur said, "Mera said Atlanteans will have a longer lifespan than humans, which means I'm still a child now, younger than Bruce."

"You are a mixed-blood, don't be so shameless." Oliver ruthlessly complained, then he thought about it and said, "Are you and Mera going to get married? Is it decided just like that? Won't it be a bit too hasty?"

"If I want to inherit Atlantis, I must marry Mera." Arthur said, "She is the Queen of Xebel, the most powerful vassal state of Atlantis. The combination of the King of Atlantis and the Queen of Xebel will make the situation in the underwater world more stable and will also make us possess stronger power."

"I'm not talking to you about politics. Do you like her?"

"I feel it's not bad. She is beautiful, strong, and has her own opinions. When I am active on land, she can completely help me rule Atlantis. We prosper together and suffer together. This is the best husband-and-wife relationship."

"I didn't expect you to be quite mature in this regard. I thought you would say something about pursuing love."

"Love is never reliable. This point has already been verified in my parents. Only equal strength and interest binding can be stable enough. One party's alms to the other party won't go far."

Oliver seemed to have thought of something and fell into deep thought. Only then did he notice that the car was driving in the direction of Cat Getan.

"We are going to Cat Getan? What to do?"

"That guy Bruce built a base on Mercury without making a sound. The portal is in Cat Getan. Although we can all fly over, I'm worried about your safety, so let's take the portal."

"Mercury?!" Oliver raised his voice and said, "That planet closest to the sun? How did he get up there?!"

"He got a set of equipment from another universe through the Battleworld. I heard it was a fool-proof operation to launch it up. After landing, you don't have to care about it, everything will be built automatically. But I hold a skeptical attitude toward the quality."

Oliver nodded, feeling that what Arthur said made sense. Human technology now obviously hadn't reached the point of being able to mine Mercury. Fully automatic didn't sound very reliable either.

However, when boarding the Mercury base, they were still stunned. This place didn't look like Mercury at all.

"God, you hollowed out the entire crust of Mercury?!" Clark looked at Bruce and said, "According to my feeling, it's not three-quarters, but it's close to two-thirds. How did you do it?"

"I already said it wasn't me who did it, it was the equipment Tim got from another universe. Humans in that universe have already developed to the space colonization era. Forget it, don't talk about it. You guys see if there is any problem with this base, and we will adjust it again."

The Mercury base in the Marvel universe has undergone several innovations. Now it is no longer just a simple ground facility. About two-thirds of Mercury has been completely transformed, and it already has the prototype of a planetary warship.

Almost all of Mercury's surface has been hollowed out and made into a huge industrial base. The slightly upper layer is the living base. Just the accommodation area is several square kilometers, and ordinary employees all live here.

For such a mere five people, this base is a bit too big. However, this has also further stimulated their ambition. It's too wasteful not to get more people here for training with such a good base.

Diana and Clark excitedly started to draw up the list of trainees. Bruce and Oliver started testing the network here, and Arthur wandered around the base.

Not long after, they concentrated and started voting for consultant candidates. Unsurprisingly, Shiler was ranked first.

"Since we don't have Martian Manhunter, we do need a psychology expert to help us conduct some psychological analysis." Oliver said very objectively, "However, I heard that Professor Shiler's research direction isn't behavioral analysis. His analysis can't give objective evidence, which will make us waver when making judgments, but if we blindly believe, it's also a bit irresponsible."

"I can be responsible for providing evidence in terms of behavioral analysis." Bruce said, "I have studied for so many years after all. Although I perfectly avoided the research direction of my mentor, it is fortunate that I achieved good results in fields with no overlap with my mentor."

"You are still quite proud." Clark pressed the back of his head and said.

"I feel Professor Shiler's opinion has a lot of reference value." Diana said with her chin on her finger, "Even if he can't give evidence, he can provide us with quite a bit of inspiration. Moreover, he has relatively close contact with people from other universes. If things reach the final juncture, perhaps there can be some turning point on his side."

"I have no opinion." Clark said, "I think Professor Shiler is knowledgeable and reliable. As long as Bruce doesn't make him angry, he is the best teammate."

Everyone looked at Bruce.

"Why look at me?" Bruce glared back without showing weakness and then said, "We just had some small contradictions before, and now they have been resolved. Do you think I am the kind of person who doesn't care about the overall situation?"

"You are." Diana said very simply, "Forget it, I will communicate with Professor Shiler later. Clark, you are responsible for watching Bruce. That's it."

Oliver looked down at the list and said, "Who proposed Professor Victor Fries? Can you tell me the reason?"

This meeting lasted for about half an hour, almost finalizing the list of consultants. Besides science and technology like Shiler and Victor, there were also Zatanna and Constantine as magic consultants, Madame Xanadu as the consultant for other worlds and alien creatures, Beelzebub as the hell consultant, Michael as the heaven consultant, etc...

Then they finalized the list of the first batch of trainees, such as Robin, Wonder Twins, Raven, and Flash were all on the list.

That's right, Flash Barry is now a member of the Young Justice League because he is indeed younger than the other few, and he is still studying, so he doesn't have that much time to fight crime, so he can't become an official member and can only be a substitute for the time being.

Of course, it also added excellent young talents from major forces like the Amazon, Atlantis, Cat Getan Magic Academy, and the Mexican Revolutionary Army. These talents are the backbone of the future Justice League.

For some reason, no one in this universe wants to build the Justice League into a superhero organization. They want to build a spy organization like S. H. I. E. L. D. more.

That is to say, these superheroes with different personalities actually aren't the main force, mostly only playing a leadership role. These young agents from major forces are the ones who really do the work, and can handle all kinds of problems on land, in the ocean, and even in magical other worlds.

After deciding on this, they started sending emails step by step, then returned to their respective territories to pick people. They prepared to utilize the large space of the Mercury base to organize a three-month intensive training to further screen and allocate talents.

Before leaving the Mercury base, Diana found Bruce and said, "I almost forgot to tell you. One of the reasons Professor Shiler asked me to go over was that the curse Circe put on him recurred. His state seems to be not very good. You can go see him."

"State is not good, how not good?"

Diana told Bruce the process of Shiler being cursed and turned into a snake, thinking the curse was broken, but now it recurred. Bruce said quite surprised, "Turned into a venomous snake? Did he really not bite a few students who didn't hand in their papers to death?"

"If he could, he would definitely bite you to death first." Diana said unpleasantly, "Did you write your doctoral thesis? If not, wait for him to poison you to death."

Of course, Bruce didn't write it, but he wasn't afraid either, because he was now immune to all poisons.

People always experience such a process when writing a thesis. At first, they will feel sad when being scolded, then they will feel suspicious of themselves when being scolded again, then they will feel quite pressured when being scolded, and finally, they only want to laugh when being scolded.

Bruce was now at this stage of being laughed at by his own dish.

So he came to Shiler's new home without any burden, knocked on the door, and found no one. It wasn't until he made a phone call to Shiler that he knew Shiler was hospitalized again, still in the bed next to Killer Croc.

"Look, Professor, I said you have an atavistic bloodline." Killer Croc threw down a deck of cards while sitting cross-legged and said, "But it doesn't matter. Isn't there me accompanying you? You have to know, scales are a kind of fashion. When I went to the comic con, they all asked me where this realistic skin suit was made..."

Shiler's spirit was obviously not very good, a bit listless. He said, "Can you really adapt to poikilotherms having to sunbathe for more than ten hours a day? Without the sun, I don't even want to move."

"Of course

"This hospital is quite professional," Schiller said, somewhat speechless.

"Of course, that was a suggestion I gave them. This is one of the survival welfare facilities for cold-blooded animals. We don't shed, so we saved them a huge amount in cleaning fees. Isn't it normal for them to install a light for us?"

What else could Schiller say? He could only give him a thumbs up.
