Chapter 334 Natasha's Words

Lu Mingfei's house, in the laboratory.

Sitting opposite Lu Mingfei, Natasha suddenly had a bad feeling.

If an ordinary person was asked "Do you desire power?", they would be more or less moved.

But Natasha is a senior agent, and is also responsible for almost all paperwork and intelligence work in the logistics department of the Avengers - these are her serious work when she doesn't have to argue with other forces about the "God's appearance".

So she is not only knowledgeable, but also has a lot of information about those superheroes.

Therefore, she knows very well that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility may not necessarily be, but the enemy is definitely stronger.

For example, Daredevil, who is very famous in Hell's Kitchen, is just a street hero, and his enemies are just some gangs and killer organizations.

The Punisher, an old friend of Director Fury, is very dangerous, but he doesn't even have superpowers, and his enemies are just some vicious ordinary criminals, at most with a little bit of high-tech equipment that he doesn't know where he got from.

For Spider-Man like Peter Parker, the enemies are more varied, and he often has to deal with villains with superpowers or special technologies.

And above them, there are Tony, Banner, Thor, and Lu Mingfei...

Natasha doesn't want to recall.

Since she met Lu Mingfei and Tony, she has encountered enemies including but not limited to the War Machine Corps, alien weapons - according to the information provided by Thor later, this weapon is called "Destroyer", the alien Loki who claims to be a god, and the Chitauri Corps, the lizard professor who turned into a dragon...

She wondered how a mortal like her could encounter these deadly things.

Therefore, when Lu Mingfei asked her if she wanted power, her first reaction was to be alert -

I have to deal with these things without superpowers, and I dare not imagine what I have to deal with with superpowers.

So after hesitating for a few seconds, Natasha decisively said: "No, I don't need power, I think it's good now."

Lu Mingfei was stunned - this situation really exceeded his expectations.

"Can I ask why?" Lu Mingfei asked curiously.

"Well..." Natasha pondered for a few seconds and said, "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."

Lu Mingfei: ...

After a pause, Natasha added: "And I believe there is no free lunch in the world, especially from a businessman like you who is as black-hearted as Tony."

Lu Mingfei was even more silent - what does it mean to be as black-hearted as Tony?

"If there is nothing else, I will go back to sleep. I have to go to work tomorrow." Natasha stood up and said.

"Wait," Lu Mingfei said, "It's free power, the kind that doesn't charge money."

Natasha quickened her pace - free is the most expensive.

Looking at Natasha's reaction, Lu Mingfei also realized that for an agent like her, what seems to be free is the most costly, so he changed his words without hesitation: "Okay, actually I need you to do one thing, the so-called power is the reward I give you in advance."

Natasha's pace almost reached the door and slowed down.

"Let me be frank. This power is to give you similar power to mine. Your physical fitness will be greatly improved, and you will have a superpower, but it will be much weaker, but you will not be controlled by me like Deadpool," Lu Mingfei said, "Tony also gave himself this kind of enhancement. He will not betray himself, right?"

Natasha almost stopped.

"Well... there is another small use. It can extend people's lifespan to a certain extent and slow down aging..."

Natasha turned around instantly and walked quickly towards Lu Mingfei: "When do we start?"

Lu Mingfei: ? ? ?

...

Natasha changed into a surgical gown and lay on a mechanical chair shaped like an operating table.

Lu Mingfei came over wearing a mask and buckled the leather restraints on Natasha's chest, wrists, ankles and waist one by one.

"What? Is the enhancement method surgery?" Natasha looked at Lu Mingfei puzzledly - even if it was surgery, the patient would not be tied up, right?

"It's not surgery, it's just an injection." Lu Mingfei took out a syringe.

This lowest-level hybrid transformation serum can be made after he has looked at Tony's research materials. There is no need to go to Tony's laboratory. His own laboratory can also make it.

Moreover, he has slightly improved it on the original basis, and the bloodline of the person receiving the enhancement will be a little higher.

However, compared with the original version, the improved version also has a small disadvantage-when receiving the enhancement, the person may be slightly more uncomfortable.

While comforting Natasha, Lu Mingfei injected the medicine into Natasha's vein.

"Well... if it's just an injection, why tie me up?" Natasha frowned and said, "Do you have any strange habits, or... Damn! It's not that the enhancement process is very painful, and these restraints are used to prevent me from struggling!"

"Huh?" Lu Mingfei was stunned and nodded in agreement, "You can guess this, you are worthy of being a professional agent."

"Wait! Can't you give me an anesthetic injection in advance?" Natasha asked quickly.

"It's okay to do it before the injection, but now... the medicine I just injected into you is already strengthening and transforming your body. Injecting anesthetics at this time may have adverse effects." Lu Mingfei said.

"Why didn't you give me anesthesia before? At least you should ask me if I want it first, right?" Natasha asked through gritted teeth - she felt that her body was beginning to feel a little painful and itchy.

"I don't have any anesthesia here, and it's useless to ask. That's a prescription drug. How can I, a law-abiding citizen, illegally possess prescription drugs?" Lu Mingfei shrugged, "I can only give you some over-the-counter painkillers. Do you want them?"

"Are painkillers useful?" Natasha's voice had begun to deform slightly because of the constant pain and itching.

"Painkillers are useless for your current situation at the pathological and pharmacological level," Lu Mingfei shook his head, paused, and added rigorously, "but they may have a psychological comfort effect."

"Lu Mingfei! I...you...you..." Natasha stared at Lu Mingfei with gritted teeth.

Because her eyes were really scary, Lu Mingfei wisely swallowed the words "Eating raw lizards is useless" that were about to come out of his mouth.

As for why he didn't prepare anesthetics for Natasha...

He had experienced several blood awakening upgrades, and he never used anesthetics each time. He had to endure it all by himself. Why could Natasha use anesthetics?

And experiencing more pain in this process will help the enhanced person understand that strength is hard-won, and will have a deeper understanding and attention to the strength he has obtained.

Well...probably.

Looking at Natasha struggling violently under the restraint of the restraint belt, Lu Mingfei thought while stroking his chin.

...

About half an hour later, Natasha, who had been struggling under the restraint of the restraint belt, gradually calmed down, and the itchy pain that penetrated deep into her bones was rapidly subsiding.

Natasha lay weakly on the mechanical chair like an operating table, gasping for breath.

"Natasha?" Lu Mingfei stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her, "Are you okay? Are you okay?"

Natasha glanced at Lu Mingfei, but did not answer. She just silently let her wrists be bound, her hands clenched into fists, and at the same time stubbornly raised a middle finger.

Lu Mingfei untied the restraints on Natasha.

Natasha sat up from the mechanical chair, her face full of surprise - although the strengthening process just now was indeed a bit painful, she had to admit that the pain was worth it as she felt her obviously enhanced physical fitness.

And she did vaguely feel in her mind that she had gained some kind of ability.

"How is it? What superpower did you get?" Lu Mingfei asked curiously.

In order to facilitate communication, he directly called the "Word Spirit" that the hybrids should awaken as "superpower" when talking to Natasha.

Although in his world, most hybrids would not master the Word Spirit when they just awakened their bloodline, but in this world, the bloodline of hybrids has been obviously strengthened, such as Tony who immediately awakened the Word Spirit "Snake" after being transformed into a hybrid.

"Superpower?" Natasha thought for a while and said, "I'll try it."

As the golden pupils lit up, the emotions in Natasha's eyes were quickly removed, and her eyes were calm.

"This is my ability. In this state, I will remain almost completely calm and will not have any messy thoughts. I can fully concentrate," Natasha said, "I can think about three different things at the same time with the highest efficiency. If I think more, my thinking efficiency will decline. I can think about six things at most at the same time."

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment. Comparing with the Word Spirit Periodic Table in his memory, he was surprised to find that Natasha only received the lowest level of bloodline enhancement, but awakened a Word Spirit with a sequence of up to 48 - "Focus".

As the name suggests, the effect of the Word Spirit "Focus" is to make the releaser extremely focused, without any distractions, and focus all his thinking ability on useful things.

And this ability also has a good effect on strengthening combat. Being able to fight with full concentration means that the reaction ability is stronger and the way to deal with the battle situation is more clever. Although it cannot improve the physical fitness of the releaser, which is more fatal in the era of cold weapons, in the modern era of the popularization of hot weapons, stronger reaction ability is much more practical than stronger physical fitness.

But compared with the increase in combat effectiveness, this Word Spirit has a better effect in civilian work - it can greatly improve the efficiency of the releaser in processing information.

In Lu Mingfei's opinion, this is the most suitable word spirit for her!

The improved physical fitness and recovery ability after becoming a hybrid allows her to work longer every day, and the word spirit can improve her work efficiency on this basis.

It can be said that she is a chosen social animal... no, a chosen employee.

"I can feel from the way you look at me that you are not thinking of anything good." Natasha released the word spirit and rolled her eyes at Lu Mingfei.

"No way," Lu Mingfei's eyes wandered for a moment, and then returned to normal, "I was just thinking about how to explain to you that I need your help."

"Oh, what is it that makes it so mysterious?" Natasha asked curiously.

"Actually, it's related to Thor..." Lu Mingfei said.

...

After a while, Lu Mingfei roughly explained his plan to stimulate Thor.

"I see!" Natasha suddenly realized, "But why did you look for me to stimulate Thor with the death of a teammate? In Thor's eyes, let alone whether I am a teammate, it's hard to say whether I can be considered a chores person on Earth."

"Don't think Thor is arrogant because he calls everyone a mortal. He is actually not arrogant, and he doesn't mind making friends with ordinary people," Lu Mingfei said. "For workers, the most important thing is... a few teammates will die anyway. Even if you are not important to Thor, as a teammate, dying in front of him will definitely increase his stimulation."

After a pause, as if the leader was making a summary speech at the end of the meeting, Lu Mingfei said: "At worst, just be a bonus."

Natasha:...

"Hey... and your acting is so good, wouldn't it be a waste if you don't participate?" Lu Mingfei said, "Tony also called Steve. One of you is an agent and the other has been an actor. You should be the best actor in our group... if Loki is not counted."

"Yeah, how about your acting skills? You, Tony and... Hulk, can you act like it?" Natasha doubted.

She didn't know much about Lu Mingfei and Tony's acting skills, but Hulk's acting skills... it's a bit too much to ask an oversized green baby to have acting skills.

"Hulk... I told him to act accordingly and play dead if he can. Even if he can't help but get up halfway through playing dead, it doesn't matter to everyone. Anyway, with Hulk's physical fitness, it's normal for him to get up, and Thor won't doubt it." Lu Mingfei said.

"As for my acting skills, don't worry. I can make up for it with magic." Lu Mingfei pointed at himself - although the illusion he learned from Loki can't help him fake a lifelike expression, it can fake a body full of fatal injuries, and whether the expression is vivid enough or not will not have much impact.

"As for Tony... do you think he needs acting skills?" Lu Mingfei shrugged.

Natasha also shrugged: "I almost forgot that he hides in an iron shell all day long and doesn't need to show his face at all."

"Yeah, just like the stuntmen in special effects suits don't need acting skills, anyway, no one can see their faces," Lu Mingfei said.

"One more question, when will the plan start? Can it be done earlier?" Natasha yawned and asked, "I still have a lot of work to do?"

She has completely evolved into a qualified urban social animal...

Looking at Natasha's appearance, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but feel a little emotional and sighing.

...

A few days later, in Lu Mingfei's laboratory.

Lu Mingfei, who was thinking about a pile of data, suddenly changed his eyes, turned off the holographic screen showing the data, and raised his hand to summon the Silver Oak Sword.

The original silver body of the Silver Oak Sword was now flashing yellow and blue alternately on the surface - the Silver Oak Sword had completely digested the energy of the absorbed mind gem!
