Chapter 3690

Wanda, standing outside the window, looked at the chaotic kitchen in a daze. She opened her mouth and closed it again.

"Is roast duck so hard to make?" Wanda said in surprise, "What happened? Did the oven explode?"

"Of course not, I'm not that kitchen terrorist Stark. This was caused by a naughty little guy. Oh, by the way, let me introduce you, Jeff the Land Shark. Cute, right?"

Shiler lifted Jeff in front of Wanda. Wanda let out a scream, grabbed Jeff over, first carefully touched its head, found that it was not a doll, and kissed Jeff's nose hard.

"My God! How can there be such a cute little shark!" Wanda's eyes were full of little stars. She turned Jeff left and right, flipped it up and down, like rubbing a doll, and rubbed it back and forth.

"It's a genetically modified organism. Normal land sharks are fused with shark and dinosaur genes, but it should be fused with shark and dog genes. You can treat it as a puppy in the shape of a shark."

"My God! Which genius scientist came up with this idea?! Perfectly making up for the regret that there are no sharks on land and no dogs in the sea! I will award him the Nobel Prize!"

"Not a good person." Shiler said, "Most land sharks are ugly. To be precise, Jeff is a failure..."

Jeff could obviously understand human language, and as soon as he heard "failure", his four legs and shark fin drooped. Wanda immediately shouted at Shiler: "Hey, don't say that, you hurt its heart! Our cute little shark is not a failure. You are the cutest baby in the world! Come, let me kiss!"

Shiler shook his head helplessly. He knew Wanda would like Jeff. Wanda's orientation for pets is strange, she doesn't like those pets bred by humans, she likes fierce beasts with sharp teeth and claws. But her moral bottom line doesn't allow her to bring back beasts that originally belonged to nature as pets, so besides those Flerkens, she didn't raise ordinary dogs.

"Oh, by the way." Shiler said as if he remembered something, "This should be the perfect pet that doesn't shed hair that you want. Sharks shouldn't shed hair, right?"

Wanda's eyes were even brighter, looking at Jeff like looking at some rare treasure. Soon, Shiler poured cold water on her: "However, Jeff already has an owner, just temporarily fostered here with me. I'm afraid it's hard for you to take what others love."

"Ah, why is that." Wanda was obviously very disappointed, then he said, "Then there are no other shark puppies?"

"There is definitely none in our universe, and the scientist who made him shouldn't have turned into MODOK, so I'm afraid there won't be any in the future. But if you go to other universes to find the scientist who made it, maybe you can make one."

"No, forget it." Wanda hesitated for a while, then sighed and said, "The experimental process of genetic modification must be terrible. No shark or dog should suffer such suffering. Even if it is cute, I won't do such a thing."

Jeff understood her words, didn't say anything, just leaned his head against her chest and rubbed her neck gently with his nose.

"Ah, my little baby! I said it right, didn't I? That damn scientist must have abused you! Don't worry, if I go to your universe one day, I will definitely beat him up and help you take revenge!"

"By the way, Doctor, almost forgot the business." Wanda patted her head and said, "How is your cooking? My ratatouille has been successful, just the final adjustment process is left. Jarvis's frosting donuts are also good, he said the Captain likes this the most."

Shiler's alarm bells rang immediately, he said: "Damn AI! He wouldn't have invaded S. H. I. E. L. D.'s monitoring equipment to get the intelligence, right?!"

"Not really, Steve said it several times himself..."

"That doesn't count." Shiler said, "He says it's delicious with a happy face no matter what you give him, but he might not think so in his heart. The taste of old-fashioned donuts is too strange, maybe he prefers the modern version."

"But Jarvis is just a robot, it's already very good that he can make donuts." Wanda said, "Steve will definitely be very happy."

"I shouldn't have performed too well in the past." Shiler lamented, "If my performance in the past was only 10 points, then taking out 30 points this time would be good. But my performance in the past was 80 points, this time it must reach more than 95 points..."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. It will definitely be a very harmonious scene, everyone will praise the dishes others make. Ah, Tony might be an exception. God, you reminded me, I think I still have to go back and optimize the plating to avoid being picked on by Tony..."

Wanda came and went like the wind, and soon left. Shiler knew she was just here to inquire about the progress, to avoid falling too far behind. Finding that most people's progress was not that fast, she was relieved.

Soon, Gwenpool came back with big bags and small bags. She put all the shopping bags on the table in the reception room and unpacked them one by one. There are many clothes and bags, as well as various toys, car models, figures, etc.

Shiler watched her unpack a room full of things and said helplessly: "Are you planning to use the exhaustive method?"

"Of course not, I'm sure he likes these things. I asked."

"Asked who? Captain America?"

"No, of course it's the screenwriter... I mean, it's the person who draws comics in our universe. He said Captain America likes these. Look at this small car model, I'm going to assemble it myself and give it to him. He will definitely like it!" Gwenpool appreciated the assembly toy in her hand happily. It was a somewhat retro assembly small car model.

Shiler shook his head. He didn't think so. Their universe's Captain America is different from the main universe's. And, even if Steve likes small cars, there is the invincible cool version of the flying old car that Stark gave him, he probably wouldn't look at any model toys.

Of course, Steve will cherish every gift. It's just that it's impossible for Gwenpool to stand out from the crowd with this gift.

Shiler is actually also thinking about what gift to give Steve that can truly reach his heart and amaze everyone.

After all, his dish preparation has been delayed. If it's the day of the banquet and he can't reach a perfect level, then naturally he has to rely on gifts to add points.

Shiler originally had no ideas, but today he met Gwenpool, and he suddenly had a bold idea.

He is a traveler, feeling that he has traveled to the comic book world. But others don't know, and Shiler has never told them. In his own world, superheroes are comic book characters.

Since this is the case, Shiler can completely draw a comic book, draw all the stories they have experienced into it, and then give it to Steve. Steve himself likes comics very much and can draw himself, so this gift will definitely be to his liking.

Speaking of comics, Shiler has never drawn one. However, he has an art foundation, has drawn oil paintings and acrylic paintings, and the comic style itself is relatively realistic, as long as he learns more about comic storyboard knowledge, he can draw roughly the same.

But speaking of storyboards, that's difficult. Comic storyboards are different from movie storyboards, comic storyboards are static. It's not easy to explain a story with static storyboards, either it will be drawn wordy, flat, and not impactful enough, or it will be too fragmented to explain the plot.

On this matter, no one around him has experience. Although Eddie switched to being a director, he is only good at using dynamic shots. Chris's movie storyboards are drawn well, but after all, they are different from comics.

Thinking about it, the one who knows a little bit about comics is Gwenpool. Gwenpool was a die-hard fan of Marvel comics before traveling here, even if she hadn't seen a pig run, she had eaten pork. So Shiler told her his idea, intending to let her help advise.

"You want to draw comics?!" Gwenpool was very surprised, she said, "Then you must draw me in. Can I be the heroine?"

"I'm afraid not, what I want to draw is a comic book themed on Captain America, he is already married, and even has children. The heroine must be his wife, Agent Carter."

"Alright. Do you want to draw their love story?"

"Not really. I'm afraid I'm not very good at drawing love, I want to draw Captain America's personal issue, which is the story of his life over the past 100 years. I think he will like it very much."

"Makes some sense." Gwenpool nodded and said, "However, if you draw from the beginning, it might look like a running account. How about one year old, how about five years old, how about ten years old, no reader will want to see this. You have to grasp the key points."

Shiler nodded and said: "Indeed. In your opinion, what is the most representative event in Captain America's life that he thinks?"

"You mean he thinks himself?" Gwenpool pinched her chin with her hand, thought carefully, and said, "If it's a fan, they must think that defeating Hydra is very important. But if standing from his own perspective, I think it might be that he was frozen."

"Oh? Why?"

"Defeating Red Skull is a matter of course for him. He knows very well that this evil regime will inevitably fail, and victory must belong to the side of justice. But for his personal life, being frozen under the ice and skipping decades of life must be of great significance. This means he crossed an entire era. There are no enemies of his in the new era, and there are enemies everywhere, not clearly distinguishing between good and evil, but full of chaos. He must have also worried and anxious about this, had the intention to retreat, but eventually overcame everything. This is more worthy of his boasting than defeating any enemy physically."

"Indeed." Shiler expressed great agreement. He quickly went upstairs to get paper and pen, spread the paper on the table, hesitated when he started writing, but still wrote on the paper—"Captain America's Golden Age".

Shiler stared at this line of words, as if thinking of something, shook his head with dissatisfaction, crossed out the words, and wrote a line of words below—"Steve Rogers' Mercury Age."

Then he drew a sketch of the cover with a few strokes: under the thin ice, countless year numbers flowed like mercury, a pair of azure eyes were immersed in it, Steve stretched out a hand, and the cracks in the ice spread from his fingertips.

?? Great painter!
