The center of the hand is equipped with a conversion grappling hook and a power system, enabling free climbing of flat buildings when there is sufficient energy.
In addition, disposable pulse bombs, tranquilizer darts, and other strategic items were also installed inside the back of the hand.
You could say that with this one arm, you're like 007 reincarnated.
"So you still want to change it?"
Luo Xing stared at Coulson speechlessly.
The metal arm saved his life, but Coulson still couldn't forget the original: "If it weren't for this arm, I wouldn't have dared to give chase."
Coulson calmly shook his head and said, "I'm just an agent. I must clearly understand my own capabilities. Even if I have to sacrifice myself, it must be a worthwhile sacrifice..."
The presence of the metal arm made Coulson unable to assess his own strength, and he almost sacrificed himself in vain due to a moment of impulsiveness in chasing the Winter Soldier.
"And because of my rash actions, the Winter Soldier might very well escape the city."
Coulson sighed softly, "Alright, the self-criticism is ready to be handed over to Nick Fury."
"Actually... I do have a way to help you find Bucky."
Luo Xing's eyes darted around, and he revealed a mysterious smile.
"What method?"
"Look at this..."
Luo Xing opened a project document that Raven had just sent him on his phone and handed it to Coulson.
"This...it seems like it might actually work!"
At first glance, Coulson thought Luo Xing was joking, but upon closer inspection, he realized it might actually be feasible.
The plan was written in large characters: "Superhero Advertising Plan."
This was an idea proposed by Raven, who wanted to leverage the connections with Locus to have some superheroes who were willing to appear in public film commercials and earn some extra money.
—This specifically refers to Steve Rogers, who is temporarily unemployed and has to live with his nephew Tony.
Originally, Captain America's funding came from the deep-pocketed S.H.I.E.L.D....
Provided.
But now S.H.I.E.L.D....
They're already struggling to survive; the total funding allocated by their superiors isn't even as much as the funding from a previous plan.
Having Steve Rogers shoot a series of commercials is a win-win situation.
First, Captain America himself would receive a large sum of money enough to live comfortably, and Los Angeles Corporation's new products would also receive a significant boost in promotion.
Most importantly, as long as Luo Xing's company is willing to spend money and promote the advertisement extensively, it will definitely reach Bucky.
If Bucky sees his old friend Steve, he will most likely regain those... long-forgotten memories.
"You really are a business genius."
Tony, who was listening to their conversation, couldn't help but speak up.
What the hell is this about getting Captain America to film an advertisement... Luckily, Tony Stark has plenty of money and won't embarrass himself.
Wait a minute... he seems to have already lost face at the engagement ceremony.
Thinking of this, Tony's expression suddenly changed, and he patted Coulson on the shoulder: "I think what Law said is right. I've done precise calculations. Hydra's brainwashing program needs to be repeated regularly to solidify it. As long as Steve's advertisements are numerous and brainwashing enough, that... Bucky will definitely wake up."
"How can we let him lose face alone? He's right."
Luo Xing glanced at Tony. Although he knew Tony was just spouting nonsense, he had actually guessed quite a few things correctly.
Once Hydra's brainwashing techniques are triggered, they cannot "heal" on their own.
They must be re-brainwashed.
Moreover, even without being stimulated, those who have been brainwashed still need to hear a set of "words" every now and then.
To solidify one's own memory.
Now that Hydra is no longer in New York City, Bucky naturally can't get "supplies".
Memory will inevitably recover gradually.
However, this recovery will be extremely slow, perhaps taking several days.
Chapter 214 Enemy of the Officials
After a two-week adjustment period, the three who had just arrived in the main world had gradually adapted.
Kasha owes Luo Xing a "debt".
Furthermore, after learning from Luo Xing that defeating more and more small fry would be useless in the fight against the Void, he abandoned his original hunting plan.
Instead of wasting time killing endless void minions, it's better to stay here and find a way to improve yourself...

Kasha owes Luo Xing a "debt".
Furthermore, after learning from Luo Xing that defeating more and more small fry would be useless in the fight against the Void, he abandoned his original hunting plan.
Instead of wasting time killing endless void minions, it's better to stay here, find a way to improve our own strength, and then deal with the source later.
—With the release of her first song, Kasha found herself "paying back" every time.
Afterwards, their strength will increase slightly.
This feeling was something the Void Shell couldn't provide; it was clearly the effect of the new body she was wearing.
This gave her a goal and motivation.
Ahri, on the other hand, simply wants to repay a debt of gratitude and enjoy human life.
She has gained complete control over her transformation ability and can truly become a "human".
Thus, the original goal was lost.
Evelyn, however, suffered the most.
Because of Maisa's restriction, she must fulfill three wishes of Luo Xing.
These three wishes are things she cannot fulfill, nor can they lead her to suicide.
As a result, Luo Xing's wish was for her to obtain seven PhDs, and then use those PhDs to benefit the Earth... Knowledge is infinite, while life is finite. Ordinary humans cannot accomplish this in their entire lives, but Evelyn is a demon, made of shadow energy.
Therefore, this was a wish she could fulfill, and she had to grant it to Luo Xing.
Not to mention that Luo Xing now knows her real name; her life or death is entirely in his hands.
Fortunately, Evelyn discovered that this so-called "superstar"
The negative emotions she garnered were no less than those from her previous... clone's killing spree.
After absorbing some of the negative emotions and understanding their source, Evelyn had an epiphany.
She understood that the essence of tragedy is... to destroy beautiful things for humanity to see.
Her goal is... to transform herself into something "beautiful".
When she's adored and loved by countless people, she'll announce that everything was just Luo Xing's mission... The negative emotions she'll feel will surely be intense and sweet.
And so, the four of them, each with their own different ideas, stood on the stage.
This is the first superhero duo to legitimately appear in the public eye, but it certainly won't be the last.
For example, some companies, after recognizing a company's potential, will entrust cutting-edge technology to a particular spokesperson, turning them into a "superhero."
It is well known that the poor rely on mutations, while the rich rely on technology.
Even if those...technologically constructed...can't surpass Iron Man, as long as they can generate buzz, they won't lose money.
Perhaps it is precisely because of its emergence that some potential superhumans have seen this path and will choose a different approach.
As for the possibility of capital controlling superhumans, Luo Xing had already considered it.
This world is real; there are no super-good people like Kent, nor are there superheroes like those in The Boys who are dirty and smelly.
Only children whose minds are not fully developed would think the world is black and white. (For the latest chapters, search "Miwenge" or visit m.miwenge.com.)
They either think the world is too wonderful and want to embrace everyone, or they think the world is too dark and become cynical.
Therefore, Luo Xing only needs to manage the people related to him.
If a superhero like those in The Boys were to appear, Luo Xing could easily handle it.
Did they really think they were carrying a "superhero"?
Their names are... superheroes... those Eastern... feminists claim to be women's rights, but are they really women's rights? Terrorists claim to be righteous, but are their attacks really righteous?... On stage, the four of them finished their energetic song and dance performance and began answering the reporters' questions.
One of the issues that everyone is concerned about is the relationship between the four of them and Luo Xing.
"It's a superior-subordinate relationship, but as for the specifics, you can guess."
Evelyn answered, intentionally creating a hazy, ambiguous feeling.
Those with pure hearts may see them as simply boss and employee, senior and junior, while those with yellow glasses may see them as master and slave, or even as superior and subordinate in terms of sexual position.
"No way, could they have that kind of relationship with Apokolips?"
"Mom, my heart is broken..."
"Damn, I'm so envious!"
Sure enough, as soon as she said that, she immediately garnered a lot of refined negative energy.
Compared to her... now-vanished, not-so-picky clone, Evelyn was swayed by Zoe's words, "The Void loves to corrupt the strong, and demons love to lure the weak."
Became: extremely picky about food.
Evelyn won't be like her previous... clone, transforming into various forms to hunt humans and obtain negative emotions.
This would be beneath her dignity.
She wanted to acquire him in an elegant way, and the only one worthy of her seduction was her current master.
Look at this.
Skye suddenly moved closer to Luo Xing and held up a virtual screen in front of him.
