"Thor, I always thought you were the God of Thunder, and the hammer was your weapon," Bruce Banner said seriously to Thor.

"I am the God of Thunder!" Thor immediately felt speechless.

"No, now it seems that the hammer is the God of Thunder, and you are the weapon of the hammer," Bruce Banner continued.

"Dr. Banner!"

"Even without the hammer, you can still function, but without you, the hammer cannot," Tony Stark almost burst into laughter. "Who is the main body and who is the accessory between you and the hammer? Isn't it clear?"

"Stark, just when I think you're not completely hopeless, you remind me of how annoying you are," Thor felt the urge to swing the hammer hard at Tony Stark's face.

[The second question begins, please prepare.]

[Who among the following can make Bruce Banner, who has transformed into Hulk, regain consciousness?]

[A. Thor, the God of Thunder]

[B. Hawkeye, Clint Barton]

[C. Black Widow, Natasha Romanoff]

[D. Iron Man, Tony Stark]

[Correct answer rewards a consciousness-restoring spell bracelet. The user wears the bracelet and shouts, "Hulk, little fist punches my chest," and Hulk will transform back into Banner. Incorrect answer deducts one year of lifespan.]

"Pfft~" This question made the viewer, Li Cheng, burst into laughter. Little fist punches the chest? Hulk?

It's probably the case that Hulk's "little fist" would simply smash a person to pieces!

How did no one notice before that this quiz system is so unserious?

Not only Li Cheng, but Tony Stark and Thor also had strange expressions. They knew what Hulk looked like—the green, bulky figure pounding his chest—it was a sight too magnificent, and just thinking about it felt absurd.

Steve Rogers appeared unchanged, but he quietly turned his back to the others, his shoulders slightly shaking, clearly stifling laughter.

"This bracelet is a good thing. Although the consciousness-restoring spell is a bit embarrassing, it's very useful for me. I need it," Bruce Banner didn't feel any discomfort. Others may know how terrifying Hulk is, but only he truly understands the extent of Hulk's power.

For years, he lived in constant fear, walking on thin ice, afraid of hurting others. If there was something that could bring him back to his senses, it would be a treasure to him. As for the embarrassing incantation, so what? He wouldn't have to shout it out himself anyway.

"Regardless, this bracelet is very practical," Steve Rogers turned around, his face showing no signs of abnormality. "During the Battle of New York and the Age of Ultron, Dr. Banner was manipulated by the enemy. With this bracelet, even if the enemy succeeds, we can immediately bring Hulk back to his senses."

"So, it's crucial to answer this question correctly," Tony Stark said to Bruce Banner. "Dr. Banner, you and Hulk are one. You understand Hulk better than anyone else. Please share your thoughts."

"My thoughts...," Bruce Banner shook his head lightly. "My thoughts are that it's simply impossible. For all these years, I've only done two things. The first is to prevent myself from turning into the Hulk; the second is to figure out how to calm the Hulk down if I do transform. But no matter how hard I've tried, all I can do is control my emotions and increase my anger threshold. Once I truly transform into the Hulk, there's no way to control it."

"Since the question is posed like this, there must be someone who can do what you think is impossible," Thor chimed in. When he first entered the quiz space, he also had doubts about the questions, but now he firmly believed in the system.

"I really can't imagine anyone who could calm the Hulk down," Bruce Banner said softly. "I'm sorry, everyone. I know you're all counting on me, but I can't figure it out. I guess I'll just have to choose randomly, which still gives me a one in four chance."

"I thought Dr. Banner needed a doctor," Steve Rogers pointed to one of the options. "But it seems that the options provided are all warriors, so I really don't know who to choose."

"Could it be me?" Thor rubbed his chin. "In the previous round, I encountered Dr. Banner, or rather, the Hulk, on an alien planet. I tried to get Banner out of the Hulk by fighting. Maybe we need to use physical force to make the Hulk calm down?"

"Thor, that sounds reasonable, but I have to tell you, it's better not to do that," Bruce Banner said. "The Hulk easily gets angry, and the more you fight him, the angrier he gets. The angrier he gets, the stronger he becomes. I don't know how to calm the Hulk down, but fighting definitely won't work."

"Even if physical force is used, Thor, it doesn't necessarily mean the answer is you," Steve Rogers said. "You just saw it, the future Tony Stark is incredibly powerful, almost on par with a god like you."

"No, Stark won't be my opponent," Thor said confidently. "I admit that, just now, oh no, in the future, when we teamed up to fight Thanos, his armor was already formidable, but I am even more powerful."

"Dr. Banner, I remember Nick Fury once said that the Hulk's intelligence is equivalent to that of a child," Steve Rogers said. "Shouldn't we approach it from that angle?"

"The Hulk is a child?" Thor asked. "Captain, are you suggesting we use coaxing?"

"Who knows, it just came to me," Steve Rogers said. "But if we were to sing a lullaby to a child, among the four options, only Natasha Romanoff might be able to do it."

"Romanoff? Hopefully, she won't sing something like 'Daddy chops off my head with an axe, Mommy blinds my eyes with chopsticks.' That would be terrifying," Thor even learned how to make jokes.

"Captain, in terms of intelligence, the Hulk is indeed equivalent to that of a young child," Bruce Banner said. "But don't children have volatile emotions?"

"That's true. The Hulk is very different from a typical child, and the usual methods of dealing with children might not be effective," Steve Rogers said, looking at Tony Stark with a puzzled expression. "Stark, you've been quiet since earlier."

"That's because I've been thinking."

"Have you figured it out?"

"Dr. Banner, since I found out that you would be our teammate in the future, I've investigated you. I've accessed the highest level of authorization for JARVIS, the military, the Department of Defense, S.H.I.E.L.D., and so on. I've practically infiltrated every place in the world that can be invaded," Tony Stark didn't answer Steve Rogers and looked at Bruce Banner. He hesitated several times before speaking up. "I've discovered something that might be helpful in answering this question."
