My last name is Stark after I changed my job to become a female musketeer?

Chapter 596: Seemingly as steady as an old dog, but actually panicking

It has to be said that all male creatures in this world always seem to be passionate about various overt and covert competitions between each other, and never tire of it.

The same goes for several superheroes in the Avengers Building right now. They all showed strong interest in the seemingly simple but childish challenge of who can lift the hammer.

"Wait a moment..."

Tony tried to lift the hammer with his bare hands, and like Clint before him, he also tasted failure.

But he was not discouraged. Based on experience, he attributed the failure to the fact that his strength was not strong enough.

So he returned to the equipment area and put on the Mark 43 arm armor, preparing to use the power of the tool to forcefully pull the hammer away from the coffee table.

However, reality gave him a loud slap in the face again.

When Tony activated the Mark 43's arm armor and tried to use the power of steel to shake the hammer, the hammer still sat there steadily, as if it didn't care about all the challenges.

The atmosphere was a little tense for a moment, and Clint simply returned Tony's words to ridicule him on the spot.

"The silent judgment also fell on you?"

Tony looked a little embarrassed, but he didn't argue with Clint.

After all, he has experienced such things as being slapped in the face with boomerangs more than once or twice, so he still has this cheeky spirit.

"Rody, come here and help."

So Tony called his good brother Roddy. Since he had already been slapped in the face once, he naturally didn't mind bringing his good brother over and giving him another slap in the face.

Then there is the following scene——

Roddy, who came to help out, did not try anything with his bare hands. He took off his coat and put on the steel arm of the war machine like Tony, preparing to join forces to try.

The two of them exerted force at the same time, and the small boosting devices on the steel arms were activated together, and the halo emitted seemed to burst out with amazing power.

However, the hammer remained motionless as if it had taken root. It was like a cricket shaking a tree, unable to shake the hammer that seemed to weigh only a few kilograms.

"Have you tried your best?"

Roddy couldn't help but question Tony.

"Okay, what's the difference between you and me..."

However, in the end, no matter how much the two men pushed the power of the armor's arms to the limit, they still had to end in failure.

No matter how much Tony didn't want to admit it, the reality was before his eyes, and he had to accept the cruel fact that he had missed out on rewriting Asgard's laws.

Of course, this does not prevent Tony from making excuses for his failure.

"This is illogical. The quality of this hammer is simply amazing."

"Mjolnir's hammer body is made of Asgard's Uru metal fused with the core of a decaying star, so its mass is naturally extraordinary."

Leni, who had been sitting on the sofa watching the show, couldn't help but smile and explain, and then she saw the people around her who were watching the fun like her were all looking towards her.

The meaning is obviously self-evident, and it is clearly to let Leni, the talker, go up and try it.

"No, I can't lift it. I actually knew this very early..."

"Just give it a try, there's nothing to lose anyway."

As an active member of the team, Skye naturally refused to let go of this opportunity to see Leni's jokes, and she encouraged her with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Leni glanced at the motionless but seemingly immobile Mjolnir hammer, with a trace of hesitation flashing in her eyes.

To be fair, Leni considers herself to be by no means the kind of person with noble qualities, because she also has her own selfish motives and secrets that she doesn't want others to know.

However, looking at the expectant looks in the eyes of the people around her, Leni also understood that if she didn't give it a try, she might be labeled as a "talker" by everyone.

So Leni finally stood up amidst the cheers of everyone and walked towards the legendary hammer Mjolnir.

"May I?"

Leni looked at Sol, who was still calm and composed, and asked for his consent.

"certainly."

Thor was naturally fine, but what made him a little concerned was that Leni's words just now seemed to reveal that she had tried to lift a hammer in the past.

But Sol did not show this concern on his face, and he was not a stingy person.

After all, there were so many people who had tried to lift the hammer before, and it was only natural that Leni would be one of them.

"Okay, then I'll show off a little bit..."

After getting Thor's approval, Leni simply pretended to cheer herself up and rolled up the non-existent sleeves on her arms twice in a funny way.

"But you are wrong about one thing. I don't really have the ability to communicate with Mjolnir, but it took the initiative to respond to me..."

As she spoke, Leni bent down slightly and reached out to hold Mjolnir's hammer handle, and then whispered to the hammer on the table:

"Mr. Hammer, if you can hear me, please give me a little face."

As soon as these words came out, everyone who was still watching the excitement instantly fell silent. Even Thor looked at her slightly sideways, seeming to be full of curiosity about Leni's actions.

However, in Clint's eyes, this scene immediately evoked his memory of inspecting Mjolnir with Coulson and Leni.

Zhila!

To everyone's expectation, just as Leni finished speaking, the hammer on the coffee table that looked like a dead object suddenly released a small arc of electricity, touching Leni's finger as if in response.

The appearance of this scene instantly attracted the attention of everyone present, and everyone's eyes could not help but gather at the position of Lainie's fingertips.

Even Thor, who was originally calm, couldn't help but sit up straight with his eyes wide open, and his face was full of shock.

But the expected surprise scene of raising the hammer did not appear, as if to confirm Lainie's previous statement. The flash of electric arc was just a response to Lainie's call, not really acknowledging her.

No matter how hard Lainie tried, the hammer placed on the table remained motionless, ruthlessly killing everyone's expectations on the spot.

"No way? This doesn't work?"

Skye's eyes widened, and his face was full of disappointment.

On the other side, Thor, who sat up straight in surprise on the sofa, now relaxed and leaned back again in a funny way.

"Well, I've said it before, I'm still far from reaching the level that meets its requirements."

Laini loosened her right hand that was tightly holding the hammer, and then shrugged nonchalantly.

She didn't try to use any other external force like Tony and Rhodey did.

After all, if you can't lift it, you can't lift it. As long as you don't get recognition, no matter how hard you try, it's just a waste of effort.

Those who can lift it don't have to work hard, and those who can't lift it can't do it even if they break their arms.

"So who's next?"

After calling out, she brought the silenced people around back to their senses, picked up her glass and took a sip, and then nestled back into the sofa to watch the show.

There are not many opportunities for everyone to be together, and Lainie naturally enjoys this relaxed atmosphere.

It's a pity that Coulson, who is responsible for managing all matters at the new SHIELD headquarters, has been closely watched by Egghead these days, otherwise she would have to pull this good old man out of the hub headquarters to help him get out of the sea of ​​suffering for a while.

Of course, the premise is that there are no more troubles waiting for her to deal with later.

"Can I try?"

Fitz, who has always been very curious about magic, took the initiative to speak. He didn't think he could lift the hammer, but just wanted to get a closer look at the magic of this hammer.

"It's okay, just try it."

With the special "failure" example of Lainie in front of him, Thor simply relaxed completely.

After all, even Lainie, who seemed to him to be the most likely, failed, so the possibility of success for others would not be much higher.

So Thor also relaxed his mind, drinking beer leisurely while enjoying the "interaction" between everyone and the hammer.

Fitz walked forward, stretched out his hand, and gently touched the cold and hard surface of the hammer.

The unique metal texture of the hammer made Fitz frown involuntarily. This feeling was different from any metal material he had touched.

I don't know if it was psychological factors, Fitz always felt that there seemed to be some kind of power that he couldn't describe on the surface of this hammer.

"Sorry, Mr. Hammer."

Fitz knew that he might not get the same response from Mjolnir as Lainie, but he still greeted the hammer politely, then took a deep breath and tried to pull the hammer off the coffee table.

However, just as Thor expected, Fitz's attempt also ended in failure.

"You have tried your best."

Simmons patted Fitz's shoulder with understanding to comfort his sweetheart.

However, Fitz was not so disappointed. On the contrary, thanks to the close contact just now, Fitz became more interested in Asgard's magic materials.

"No, Jemma, I am not disappointed. On the contrary, I seem to have some new ideas!"

"Really? That's great."

Ignoring the whispers of the two young lovers who suddenly got excited, everyone turned their attention to the other men and women who had not tried yet.

"Then let me do it!"

Skye volunteered to get up from the sofa and walked to the side of the hammer impatiently to try it.

Unexpectedly, Skye did not start right away, but squatted down and stroked the smooth and hard hammer with both hands.

It looked like stroking a docile house cat, giving the hammer a massage from beginning to end.

"Please, Mr. Hammer, please respond to my call and let me have that amazing power!"

Her funny behavior made everyone present laugh, causing everyone to laugh happily.

But Skye didn't care about it. Instead, she closed her eyes and chanted more devoutly. After repeating it several times, she dared to secretly open one eye to see if the hammer responded to her like Lainie just now.

However, the hammer still stood there quietly, and no matter how attentive she was, there was no movement.

"Okay, stop playing tricks, Mjolnir won't fall for it."

Laini chuckled and completely broke Skye's fantasy, signaling her to get up quickly.

"Tsk, I thought I could get some special treatment."

Skye curled her lips, with a regretful expression on her face, but she quickly recovered. After all, she didn't really believe that she could lift the hammer.

You know, she was lucky enough to be favored by the obelisk once. How could she still hope to have the power of Thor's hammer?

Sure enough, Skye tried to hold the hammer and pulled it hard twice. Seeing that the hammer didn't move at all, she gave up her fun and sat back on the sofa.

After that, Banner, Simmons, and Maya all tried one after another, but all failed as expected.

During this period, Banner also roared in a very funny manner, seemingly pretending to be Hulk and wanted to have some fun.

However, everyone's reaction was quite calm. They obviously knew that this was just Banner's joke and did not take it seriously.

Banner was a little embarrassed for a while, and only Natasha cast a look of pity on him, caring about the little fool.

After that, it was the turn of Captain America Steve, who had always maintained a spectator mentality. Among the many men present, he was already the last one who had not yet tried. No matter what, it would be his turn.

However, Captain America also does not have any expectations that he can lift the hammer. He boasts that he is far from reaching that high moral standard.

However, among the people present, there was far more than one person who was optimistic about Steve.

Except for Leni, who knew the inside story in advance, people like Clint and Natasha who knew Captain America's character well thought that Steve might be an exception.

"Come on, Captain."

Clint encouraged Steve, his eyes full of anticipation.

Natasha nodded slightly, her eyes also shining with confidence in Steve.

On the other hand, Leni, who had already foreseen what would happen next, suddenly turned her head and glanced at the camera hidden by her at some point in the corner of the sofa.

After confirming that the camera was open at this moment and could completely record the next scene, Leni was ready to enjoy the wonderful show that was about to be staged.

So, Steve, who was prepared, rolled up his sleeves, held Mjolnir's hammer handle tightly with both hands, and then took a deep breath. The muscles in his arms tightened and the veins popped out. It was obvious that he had used All the strength in the body.

Then there was a soft "squeak" sound!

The hammer that had never moved at all no matter how hard everyone tried, actually trembled slightly at this moment!

Even though the tremor was not large, and could even be said to be fleeting, it was enough to shake up Thor, who had been watching all this casually!

The smile on Thor's face disappeared.

Although he was sitting relatively calmly, he was not as surprised as when Leni triggered the hammer response just now.

But Leni, who was sitting opposite him, could see clearly that Sol was so frightened that his face changed.

In her words, "Although Thor seems to be as stable as an old dog on the outside, he is actually quite panicked on the inside."

Leni bet that if Steve raised the hammer right now, the first person who couldn't accept it would definitely be Thor himself.

absolute!

Fortunately, Steve didn't actually pick up the hammer from the coffee table, but after trying it a few more times with a normal expression, he let go of his hands with a smile and said that he didn't have that good luck either.

Seeing this, Thor let out a long sigh of relief. At the same time, he raised the wine glass in his hand as if to cover up, and drank a sip of beer to calm down his shock.

He comforted himself secretly and said:

"Maybe it's just a coincidence..."

But what Saul didn't notice was that his current wonderful show of changing faces faster than flipping through a book had actually been completely recorded by Leni's hidden camera, and would become strong evidence for the other party to laugh at him in the future.
