Beauty Man: Infinite Possession

Chapter 541 Vulnerability
[From the legend of Spider-Man Peter Parker...]

In the antique shop, Li Ran looked at the reputation displayed by the system and thought about it.

Needless to say, the mysterious man Ned bumped into was naturally arranged by Li Ran.

[Radiation Dragonfly] Although it is not very useful to him now, Li Ran, who holds two A-level character cards, doesn't like the mutation ability brought by [Radiation Dragonfly].

However, this does not prevent him from making some arrangements with the [Radiation Dragonfly] prop.

Before, through the way of [High Priest], Li Ran has already known that even if he does not officially appear on the stage, he can gain a certain amount of fame by influencing the events created by some people through the power of cards.

There is the example of Emil Chang, of course Li Ran will not stop there.

After all, there is still a limit to the popularity obtained by relying solely on the avatar, especially in the future, the number of reputations that can easily reach 100 million. If Li Ran uses the avatar to execute each of them, it may take how long it will take.Not to mention, after the A-level character cards, there are S-level character cards.

Even in the most fortunate situation, Li Ran needs to open at least five, and now it should be four [Golden Treasure Chests] to make up the fragments of an S-level card. This is a legend of 400 million Speed, not to mention that it is impossible for him to be so lucky to open the fragments from the [Golden Treasure Chest] every time.

Therefore, after some thinking, Li Ran came up with the plan of launching an 'artificial superhero' through his own hands.

There was no doubt that Ned was his prime test subject for this plan.

Although the mutation ability brought by [Radiation Dragonfly] is not very powerful, it can barely transform Ned into a third-rate superhero.

And the consumption of a tasteless prop, even if it failed in the end, would not make Li Ran feel too distressed.

Of course, if he can, he naturally hopes that the 'artificial superhero' project can be successful.

After all, if it goes well, then Li Ran will get rid of the initial restraint and enter the path of real sustainable development.

By then, what Avengers.

He can create a large group of superheroes or villains such as the Justice League, the Dark Alliance, and the Dark Avengers by himself, and provide himself with fame.

[From the legend of Dragonfly Ned Leeds...]

"Success?!"

In the antique shop, just as Li Ran was thinking about embarking on the road of rapid development through the "artificial superhero".

The data flashed from the system data panel also seemed to confirm the authenticity of his plan.

Staring intently at the short but conspicuous data on the data panel, Li Ran felt his heart beat a little faster.

[Warning, a system loophole has been found! 】

However, before the smile on Li Ran's face bloomed, the bright red words on the data panel instantly froze the expression on his face.

[System self-inspection, the vulnerability has been repaired, and the vulnerability has been dealt with. 】

[Revised the calculation of the popularity of some unreasonable superheroes, please check the host for details. 】

"I knew it wouldn't be that simple."

"The loopholes in the system are really not so easy to exploit."

Looking at the "artificial superhero" project that has just been launched on his side, he immediately encountered a merciless blow from the system.

Li Ran sighed helplessly, knowing that his plan was aborted.

While putting on a dejected expression, he clicked on the details prompted by the system.

"Perhaps, the situation is not as bad as I thought."

However, after Li Ran read the details, the dejected expression on his face changed a little.

Although the "artificial superhero" plan was aborted, it was obvious that the system did not kill him directly, and it left him a little angry.

Judging from the details, although it is impossible to create countless superheroes out of thin air to gain fame like Ned did.

However, according to the introduction of the system, Li Ran can create and transform a limited number of unreasonable superheroes that do not exist in the comic book world by consuming fame. Of course, this consumption of fame is superimposed by multiples. Yes, similar to the exchange calculation of treasure chests, the first superhero may only need one hundred legends, the second one will be one thousand, and the next one will be tens of thousands or one hundred thousand.

This calculation method of the system is obviously a means for Li Ran to deliberately manufacture superheroes on a large scale to gain popularity.

After all, if he really has a reputation of 100 million, his first thought is to exchange for the [Golden Treasure Chest] to open A-level cards to increase his own power, only fools will create superheroes for others.

His eyes stayed on the details of the system for a long time, and Li Ran's eyes flickered for a moment.

In his heart, 100 fame is the bottom line, and there is no need to think about the upwards of [-] million.

In other words, there are still four superheroes that can be born from Li Ran's hands.

Thinking of this, Li Ran couldn't help but be thankful. Fortunately, the system didn't include Ned, the fat dragonfly, in the quota of superheroes. Otherwise, Li Ran would have one less leek that he could make.

Now, although four leeks are better than nothing, if used properly, the amount of fame he can harvest should far exceed the reputation he invested.

However, regarding the remaining four leek candidates, Li Ran obviously wouldn't be as casual as he was with the fat dragonfly.

At the very least, he had to observe more and select some suitable candidates before proceeding with his "artificial superhero" plan, which had already been greatly reduced in effect.

Fortunately, although there were obstacles in the 'artificial superhero' plan, Li Ran's other plans were still proceeding in an orderly manner.

Through the activity of each avatar, the reputation is still continuously entering the system's data panel.

"In the end, in the end, you still have to rely on yourself."

Looking up at the provocative reputation on the system data panel, Li Ran sighed silently and said helplessly.

……

"You lived up to my expectations, Scott Lang."

Dr. Hank Pym was obviously very dissatisfied with Scott Lang's private use of the Ant-Man suit he had given to participate in the Avengers' operations in Canada.

He doesn't have a good relationship with the Avengers, or S.H.I.E.L.D.

Otherwise, of course, Scott Lang would not be allowed to sneak into the Avengers' warehouse to get things instead of going directly to retrieve his invention in a fair manner.

"I have no choice, Dr. Hank Pym."

On the other side of the phone, Scott Lang's tone was obviously a little helpless.

"This is the Avengers, and it's a big deal to save the world."

"Don't give me these illusory excuses. This world has never been saved by anyone. I used to think like you that the world couldn't do without me until..."

Halfway through the conversation, Dr. Hank Pym's tone suddenly paused, as if thinking of some bad memories, he said to Scott Lang in a silent tone after a long time: "In short, your unauthorized actions The foundation of trust between us has been destroyed, and if the Ant-Man suit remains in your hands, it will implicate me sooner or later, so return the suit, or let me pick it up myself."

"Dr. Hank Pym, I..."

Facing Dr. Hank Pym's merciless approach, Scott Lang was naturally very surprised.

He had just acquired the identity of Ant-Man not long ago, and if he left the Ant-Man suit, he would turn back to the former thief who was nothing before.

However, before Scott Lang finished speaking, Dr. Hank Pym hung up the phone directly.

Dr. Hank Pym himself is a very stubborn existence, which can be seen from his resolute withdrawal from S.H.I.E.L.D. and his relationship with his daughter.

After finishing this unpleasant phone call with Scott Lang, Dr. Hank Pym got out of the car with a deep breath.

click-

Entering the home, Dr. Hank Pym glanced at the scene in the house, but there was a slight change immediately.

Reaching out his hand to touch the pocket of his suit on his chest, Dr. Hank Pym stepped into the room cautiously, but soon found an unexpected guest in his living room.

"Tony Stark?!"

Seeing the familiar figure in the living room, Dr. Hank Pym frowned subconsciously.

"Dr. Hank Pym."

Sitting at Dr. Hank Pym's dining table, Tony looked at Dr. Hank Pym who was on guard, and just nodded and greeted him without any outsider appearance.

"Nice to meet you."

"I don't think there's anything to be happy about."

Regarding Tony's greeting, Dr. Hank Pym didn't change any expression on his face. He sat down on the chair opposite Tony with a blank expression on his face, and at the same time stared at the uninvited man in front of him. guests.

"Especially with people associated with S.H.I.E.L.D."

"About the misunderstanding between you and S.H.I.E.L.D...."

Dr. Hank Pym's unfriendly attitude did not shake Tony's expression.

"Misunderstand!"

However, Tony's words clearly irritated Dr. Hank Pym.

He interrupted Tony without hesitation, and said with a cold face: "I don't think it's a misunderstanding. SHIELD secretly conducted research on the 'Pym Particle' behind my back. Next, wanting to steal my experimental results, this kind of betrayal cannot be explained by a simple misunderstanding."

"Well, S.H.I.E.L.D. is sorry for Dr. Hank Pym on that point."

Tony declined to comment on what S.H.I.E.L.D. was doing.

Although his father was once one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., Tony himself has little to do with S.H.I.E.L.D. I don't know.

"However, S.H.I.E.L.D. has been disbanded long ago, and the purpose of my coming to see you, Dr. Hank Pym, is not because of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s relationship."

"I'm here only to represent myself."

"I wish you, Dr. Hank Pym, would join me."

Facing Tony's sincere invitation, Dr. Hank Pym refused without hesitation.

"I'm not going to join your so-called Avengers."

But Dr. Hank Pym never wants to contact any organization related to S.H.I.E.L.D. in his life.

"Not the Avengers."

However, facing the rejection of Dr. Hank Pym, Tony shook his head and gave an unexpected answer.

"Not the Avengers?"

Hearing Tony's words, Dr. Hank Pym couldn't help frowning, and couldn't help but look up at Tony in front of him, with a slightly surprised expression on his face.

He originally thought that Tony Stark was here for the Avengers.

"The purpose of the existence of the Avengers is to protect the safety of the world and resist threats."

Under the gaze of Dr. Hank Pym, Tony said calmly: "However, with the actions of the Avengers, I gradually discovered that passive defense is obviously not enough to protect our fragile and beautiful world, especially It was the incident in Canada that made me completely understand that the Avengers alone are not enough to protect the world, we need more means and methods."

"Illuminati!"

"This is a completely different organization than the Avengers in my vision."

"If the Avengers are the sharpest blade against the enemy, then the Illuminati is the shield."

The idea of ​​the Illuminati is an idea that has been lingering in Tony's mind since he fought the [Holy Lord] in Canada. In his conception, the purpose of the Illuminati is to solve the crisis that threatens the earth and the universe. Only when a potential huge crisis is discovered will a secret meeting be held to discuss coping strategies and take precautions before the crisis occurs.

Rather than being forced to fight back only when a crisis occurs.

Therefore, a member who can become a member of Tony's Illuminati must have enough wisdom, not just a reckless man with pure power.

Because of the particularity of the Illuminati, Tony does not want other members of the Avengers to join, not even Banner. Although Banner is not weaker than others in terms of intelligence, the nature of Hulk determines that he is a time bomb. Once the Hulk goes wrong, Banner becomes a threat in his own right.

For this reason, Tony ruled out the option of Banner when he decided to form the Illuminati.

At the same time, Tony also considered many candidates for joining the Illuminati, including Captain Reed of the Fantastic Four, who was one of the members he selected.

And Dr. Hank Pym also entered Tony's selection range because of Scott Lang's relationship, and after his consideration, he finally became one of the candidates invited to join the care meeting.

Being able to discover the existence of 'Pym Particles', naturally, there is no need to doubt the degree of its wisdom, and Dr. Hank Pym himself has also been actively fighting as the first generation of Ant-Man, and he knows many unknown secrets, which is undoubtedly the light in Tony's mind suitable members of .
