Chapter 3076: Romantic

Upon hearing this name, Dr. Beast frowned slightly. He shook his head and said, "This is not a good choice. I admit that Essex has some talent, but he lacks the most basic respect for life. Such a person will only be a source of disaster."

"Besides, I don't think he will sincerely help Captain America. Once he plays any tricks, it will be troublesome."

"He indeed won't sincerely help anyone in the Avengers, but we don't just have the Avengers here." Wei En smiled and said.

Stark, who was studying the machine's wiring, seemed to hear the implication in Wei En's words. He walked over and nudged Wei En's arm with his elbow, saying, "Don't mess around. If this Essex is an evil scientist, then Hydra won't get any benefit from him either."

"Let's listen to the opinions of normal scientists first." Captain America said, "When will Connors and the others arrive?"

"Connors has a very important experiment on hand, and it will take at least 2-3 days to finish the handover. Dr. Pym suffered an experimental accident a few months ago and hasn't recovered yet. Doctor Doom said he has no research on the X-gene, and if magic means are needed, contact him again..." Peter put down the phone and said.

"So Reed is the only one who can come?" Stark rolled his eyes and said, "That guy is really annoying."

"Reed's personality is indeed a bit strange, but his professional level is beyond doubt." Steve patted Stark on the shoulder and said, "Although I think he is far worse than you in mechanical engineering, his attainments in medicine and biology are quite good."

Stark's expression also became strange. Steve was flattering him, and logically he should be happy, but thinking about having to get along with that Reed Richards next, Stark suddenly felt hopeless.

The Avengers' prejudice against Reed was not influenced by Wei En, nor was it because he had really caused any unmanageable messes, but because he was very difficult to get along with, and his temper was strange to the extreme.

Originally, everyone thought Strange was already synonymous with being strange and aloof, but they didn't expect there to be someone even more so. Even Peter, who had the highest tolerance, sometimes wanted to hit Reed, which shows how bad his temper was.

However, just as Steve said, temper aside, his professional ability was impeccable. His willingness to help this time was also beyond everyone's expectations. After all, the Avengers had never gotten along with him before, and they really couldn't talk about any friendship. Such scientists are very busy all year round, and his ability to spare time was a pleasant surprise.

Stark also knew that this time they had to accept Reed's favor. People were here to help, so even if he spat out foul language, you had to endure it. Stark felt hopeless just thinking about how he might be fuming with anger later because of Reed and yet be unable to refute him.

But what also surprised everyone was that Reed didn't come alone. Behind him followed a beautiful lady. Wei En recognized her; this should be the Invisible Woman, Susan.

However, because the Fantastic Four in this universe didn't participate in space work, they didn't become the Fantastic Four. She was now just an ordinary female scientist. Although she also participated in the solar system development plan, her academic status was still quite far from Reed Richards'.

Then logically speaking, it was unlikely they would run into each other. Wei En didn't know if they knew each other before. Could this be a reunion?

As a result, as soon as Reed arrived, he started winking at Wei En. Wei En carefully observed the interaction between him and Susan, and only then understood. He said, "Why is this guy so active? It turns out he's here to pick up girls."

It seemed that the two hadn't established a formal relationship at all. Reed was still pursuing Susan. Susan's current attitude toward him was not dislike, otherwise she wouldn't have agreed to come on vacation with him. But she seemed to still have doubts about Reed. Wei En hadn't yet seen where this doubt came from.

But it doesn't matter. Whether they make it or not, Franklin will be born, because in all universes, Franklin is bound to his mother, Susan. Only in the main universe is his father Mr. Fantastic, Reed.

That is to say, as long as Susan chooses to have a child, the one born will inevitably be Franklin, regardless of who the father is.

But Reed can be considered to have the advantage of being close to the water. Susan appearing here with him shows there's a chance. Wei En wasn't sure whether to facilitate them. After all, if it were him, he would also have doubts about Reed. This guy's ability and talent are beyond doubt, it's just that his personality is too strange.

Reed walked up, clearly wanting to show off his good popularity. Seeing his purpose, Wei En took the lead to walk up and hug him, then said, "How have you been, Dr. Richards? Any new breakthroughs in near-Earth research?"

"Oh, of course. I have new ideas about the Earth's shield layer of the joint Kamar-Taj magic defense network. Mutants helped me find a terrestrial planet for experiments. Magneto Erik just called me and said it's best to help Captain America, so I came."

"My God." Stark roared in his heart, "This guy can actually speak human language. Is this the power of love?!"

Steve was also very happy. With such a powerful scientist helping, the child should be safer. He walked up and shook hands with Reed, smiled and glanced at Susan, and said, "Everyone here should envy you for having such a beautiful and excellent lady to spend your vacation with."

Reed's expression brightened at a speed visible to the naked eye. He shook Captain America's hand vigorously and said, "I have to thank you for giving me this opportunity. But you're right, this will definitely be a quite unforgettable vacation."

Susan gathered her hair, walked up with a smile, and hugged Captain America, saying, "Captain, my brother and I are both your fans. You must give me an autograph. It would be even better if we could take a photo together..."

Once these words were out, you could look at Reed's face; even if Strange came, he would only win second place in a face-length competition.

Steve patted Susan on the shoulder as enthusiastically as ever and said, "I thought I was already out of style. Miss, let me introduce you. This is Sharon Carter, a level 7 agent of S. H. I. E. L. D., and also my fiancée."

It seemed that nervousness took the upper hand, causing Carter's body's emergency mechanism to start. During this period of time, she actually didn't have such severe adverse reactions. At this moment, she stood up, tried her best to cheer up, and shook hands with Susan.

Soon, the ladies gathered together and began to discuss the child in Carter's belly.

Steve looked at Susan while nudging Reed with his elbow from the left, saying, "I feel there's a chance."

While Stark stood on Reed's right and shook his head, saying, "I don't think so. Her attention to you isn't high enough."

Reed stretched out both hands, grabbed their arms from left and right, then turned and walked back, saying as he walked, "I won't hold grudges about the past. You must help me this time."

Stark just wanted to argue with him about what "past things" meant, when Steve cleared his throat and said, "It's difficult, very difficult. Has she always been keeping you at arm's length? Sometimes responding to your kindness, but sometimes pretending not to see it? Sometimes very enthusiastic toward you, but sometimes very cold..."

Stark immediately followed up, "Sometimes looking like she appreciates your talent, attracted by your charm, but sometimes looking like she wants to run far away. Sometimes looking like it's almost done, but sometimes making you feel desperate."

Reed looked to the left in surprise, then to the right, and then nodded vigorously, his face full of the expression "Can you two read minds?"

Stark sneered in his heart. This is the normal performance of the ambiguous period. Both sides are testing each other's feelings and are unwilling to easily hand over their hearts. This Reed looks decent, but he didn't expect his emotional experience to be so poor.

"According to my experience, she should be testing you." Steve touched his chin and said, "I guess you might have met most of her requirements for a lover, but there is still a small part that cannot be determined."

"Which part?" Reed asked hurriedly.

"That's a long story." Steve sighed and said, "It's almost lunchtime. You and we will prepare barbecue together, and by the way, tell us how you met her and what you have done during this time."

Reed nodded and was taken away by Steve and Stark together.

Others left the house in twos and threes. Beast covered the machine with a cloth, and Wei En left after locking the door.

Today's sun was still scorching. After opening the door, one could feel the heat wave rushing toward them. Because of Carter's matter, everyone had no appetite, so they decided to eat some snacks for lunch and hold a barbecue party on the beach in the evening.

In the dietary habits of Westerners, lunch is not important, and in the United States, breakfast is actually not important either. If there is time, eat fried eggs with bread; if there is no time, drink some milk. Lunch is even more perfunctory. Most of the famous "white people food" is lunch.

Some people might think that white people food is already bad enough, but no matter how bad it is, it is still food. Many young Americans eat a bag of potato chips or drink a small cup of yogurt at noon, and standing in front of a street stall to have a hot dog is considered a reward for themselves.

For Americans, there is only one proper meal a day, and that is dinner. Most of the big meals are eaten at dinner time. American housewives will even spend a whole day preparing dinner.

Wei En still cannot adapt to this eating habit. When he was in the small clinic, he cooked three meals a day, which led to Pikachu and Peter developing the habit of eating properly.

Returning to the living room of the Stone House, Stark casually took a bag of corn chips from the cabinet under the bar, and picked up the coconut juice he hadn't finished drinking. This should be his lunch.

Steve really had no appetite to eat, but to set an example for Carter, he went to heat up the breakfast sandwich Wei En made, cut an orange, and poured two packs of energy drinks.

Elektra had just coaxed little Jack to take a nap and had just taken a nap herself. After waking up, she felt a little dizzy, so she poured herself a glass of ice cubes and chewed them crunchily. This was her lunch.

Wanda was even more perfunctory. She followed Wei En directly, and after he finished cooking, she took a photo and posted it on social media, considering it as having eaten.

Only Wei En and Peter were truly busy in the kitchen.

Wei En didn't have much appetite either. He took chicken breast, shredded it, mixed it with chili and lemon juice, then crushed potato chips as breading, deep-fried the chicken legs marinated with Mexican-style marinade in the refrigerator, and made oyster sauce lettuce. Lunch was done.

Because there were only two people and one mouse eating properly, they didn't come to the dining table, but leaned against the bar to eat. While eating, Pikachu browsed the mobile phone interface, wanting to see if he could order takeout here.

Wei En took back his phone and said, "Don't think about ordering cake. The nearest cake shop is about 200 kilometers away."

Pikachu let out a wail and said, "I haven't eaten dessert for a long time!"

Wei En thought for a moment and said, "There are some simple ingredients in the refrigerator. Maybe I can make you a pound cake later." ===== CHAPTER 3077 =====
