Planning in the Shadows?

"Tony Stark, fully protected by SHIELD and the military, can't be approached."

"But Ivan Vanko can definitely be kidnapped and brainwashed to produce original Arc Reactors endlessly!"

In fact, Qi Jun really wanted to kidnap Tony Stark and have him build new Arc Reactors for him every day.

Even building Arc Reactors with a casing of Vibranium, the same material as the Cosmic Cube—those would truly be something.

Qi Jun even wondered if Vibranium, an isotope of the Cosmic Cube casing, had obtained the ability to link with the Space Stone. Otherwise, how could it have such powerful endurance?

Qi Jun even speculated that unless used at high power for extended periods, the Vibranium Arc Reactor, powered secretly by the Space Stone, could potentially operate indefinitely.

"Although the original Arc Reactor made with palladium still has limited energy, it's absolutely enough for early development!"

"At least, compared to scavenging from corpses, the original Arc Reactor is ten times, a hundred times more powerful!"

"Maybe I could even infiltrate HYDRA?"

"After all, SHIELD would turn them over eventually, and if not SHIELD, then the Avengers would follow. It might as well be better to use those resources to upgrade myself."

"And Wakanda, it seems they've developed Vibranium into a new energy source? I could absorb some of that, too.

"Right, the Inhumans' sanctuary—the Kree's underground city, seems to have Terrigen Crystals? Could those be absorbed?"

"Mjolnir, apparently forged from a dying star, wow, such immense energy? Could it be directly absorbed?

"Hehehe~~~ If I absorbed Mjolnir, I wonder if Thor could still grow?"

"I just don't know if there's any of Odin's consciousness in the hammer?"

Staring out the window without

 Focus, Qi Jun was muttering and plotting silently in his heart.

"Right. It's almost been a day since I crossed over, and I haven't checked out this world yet."

After pondering for a while, Qi Jun returned to his senses, looked at the remaining nine energy points, not knowing what to do, and suddenly remembered he hadn't yet familiarized himself with this world. He quickly took the top-of-the-line Huawei laptop he had materialized earlier to look up information.

Qi Jun hadn't checked the news section when he was looking for housing to establish his identity, but now he finally had the time.

"The Captain America Museum?"

"Hmm, as expected."

"Osborn Industries, wait, let me take a closer look~"

"Norman Osborn's son, Harry Osborn, let me see, twelve years old?"

"Huh? Only twelve years old?"

"What the heck?"

"Middle school?"

"Just starting middle school?"

"Sss~~~"

"So, according to the timeline, is this the Tom Holland version?"

"But with Osborn Industries around, so is this Spider-Man a composite?"

"Super Spider-Man and the Tom Holland version merged?"

"Hmm~~"

"I'll have a chance to check it out later."

"Should I turn Peter Parker into Spider-Man ahead of time?"

"That spider-sense is a very powerful ability, too. Copying it and then enhancing it would definitely be an amazing skill!"

"Uh... never mind, let's deal with Ivan Vanko first."

"Spider-Man, being Marvel's favorite, copying his ability would definitely not be cheap in terms of energy consumption."

"Hmm, let's see what else."

"I wonder if this is a movie universe or a comic universe."

"Let's see if there's any information on mutants."

"Hmm, think, what was the name of that school in X-Men?"

Qi Jun frowned and scratched his head.

"Right, was it called 'Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters'? Seems like it."

"Let's check."

Qi Jun's hands rapidly typed on the laptop's built-in keyboard.

"Huh?"

"Nothing?"

"What was the address again?"

"Think, think, think hard..."

"Right, Westchester County, New York."

"Specific address?"

"Wow, I really don't know that!"

Qi Jun scratched his head again, looking a bit embarrassed.

"Forget it. What can I find with such a search!"

"It's better to search directly by name, directly search for superhuman events."

"As long as mutants exist, there must be unmistakable traces!"

"Professor X, Charles Francis Xavier, not there?"

"Magneto, real name - Max Eisenhardt, not there? Alias - Erik Lehnsherr, also not there?"

"Wolverine, Logan Howlett, not there?"

"Storm, Ororo Munroe, not there?"

"Deadpool, Wade Wilson, also not there?"

"Mystique, Raven Darkholme, also not there?"

"What about the Sentinel Program? Still not there?"

"What about William Stryker? Also, not there?"

"One last check, Trask Industries?"

"Still not there?"

"None of these are here? So, this world isn't the comic universe, is it?"

Rubbing his temples, Qi Jun seemed much more relaxed.

Compared to the Marvel comic universe, the Marvel movie universe is much safer.

[This book won't include mutants, strictly the Marvel movie universe. This chapter is just an explanation. It's a public chapter. Just padding the word count, don't mind it~]

[In a couple of days, 'X: Dark Phoenix' is releasing. The trailer looks good; the author is planning to check it out. Is anyone else coming? [smile]]
