Everything is fine, except...
Chapter 1600 S.H.I.E.L.D.
The black cover of the little book features a silver eagle with outstretched wings. Xu Fu was very familiar with this symbol because he had seen someone rushing towards him with something like that just yesterday.
"Shut up, Coulson"
Xu Fu shook his head, astonished by the intelligence department's disregard for him—was this the trap?
Putting aside Umbrella, how much power would S.H.I.E.L.D. need to disregard Xu Fu's last hunting team? Even if Nick Fury didn't care, what would Hydra do?
Why can't you stop Coulson from saying so much?
It's now obvious that you have a mole in your house!
"By the way, what level of agent are you?"
Xu Fu grinned at Johnson. Thinking about anything else was useless now. He believed that Johnson wouldn't be afraid, and that was enough. As for S.H.I.E.L.D., oh, and Hydra, you can't afford to mess with them. If you do, they'll provoke you and keep playing games with you.
"This is classified information!"
Johnson looked at Xu Fu's mocking gaze, hesitated for a moment, and then calmly said that he was afraid of barbed wire. Really, how could he not be afraid?
Putting aside the fact that he is a high-ranking agent, the fact that this is the home of the superhero "Watchmen" is enough for S.H.I.E.L.D. to assign a team to monitor him 24 hours a day.
If it weren't for Johnson's concern for his feelings, and if Johnson had assured him that he could make connections, Xu Fu would have been under constant surveillance, even hourly. However, even without real-time monitoring, wiretapping is quite rare.
"Oh, level seven, that's a high level. No wonder you're so busy!"
Xu Fu paid no attention to Johnson's constipated face and muttered to himself.
In fact, all of this was because as soon as he got a small device, all the listening devices within a 20-meter radius went out.
"Why don't you quit your job and help me? There's no future in spying on S.H.I.E.L.D."
Xu Fu had just said it casually, but suddenly, he seemed to remember something, his eyes lit up, and he rushed into the kitchen, pulling Penny, who was chopping vegetables, along with him.
“Penny Penny, what do you think about having Johnson resign? Let him come and help me manage my company. It’s a company as big as Stark Industries. Without your help, I can’t trust the people below.”
Xu Fu gave Penny a sly look. She paused for a moment, then blinked back to indicate that she understood.
“Let me tell you, S.H.I.E.L.D. is a terrible organization. It’s a mixed bag. Instead of sitting there all day listening to blind and one-eyed bastards talk, you might as well come out and help me start a business.”
Who is the Cyclops?
Penny asked, somewhat puzzled.
Xu Fu quickly winked at her a few times before she answered.
“Oh, my son is right, Johnson, why don’t you resign?”
Xu Fu and Penny stared wide-eyed at Johnson, leaving him completely bewildered.
"What the hell? Shouldn't I be recruiting this guy into S.H.I.E.L.D.? Why is he recruiting me? Wait, let me think..."
Fortunately, Johnson isn't black, otherwise he would be a vivid black face with a question mark right now.
"Don't worry, I've blocked out everyone who's eavesdropping around. You can speak freely. Also, you must trust my abilities; S.H.I.E.L.D. won't dare to do anything to me anyway."
Xu Fu wasn't bragging, but what made S.H.I.E.L.D. despise him wasn't his ability, but rather the ability of a certain bald principal.
This is the benefit of living in harmony with mutants: having a supreme leader who can slaughter all humans in an instant, regarding them as accomplices, madmen, and thieves.
Not to mention the 35 percent stake that Xu Fu gave to Scotty, and the numerous jobs that Xu Fu's businesses provided for many mutants during this period, which was enough to garner sympathy from Professor Charles and the faculty and staff of the Mutant Academy.
This 35 percent represents a massive industry worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Whether mutants want to establish orphanages, build their own communities, or even establish mutant nations, they all require enormous financial support.
Xu Fu handled these matters!
If Xu Fu's system had the function of awarding titles, then the most magnificent and dazzling words above his head at this moment would definitely be those.
"Mutant friends!"
Let me re-examine this issue.
To be honest, Johnson was a little annoyed, but his job at S.H.I.E.L.D. was something he had dedicated his life to, and it would be too much for him to give it up.
"Alright then. As for my question, I'll tell Nick Fury that I'm not interested in S.H.I.E.L.D., but his special forces unit is worth considering. He'll understand what I mean!"
Johnson is only at level seven, so he probably doesn't have access to information about the Avengers yet, which is why Xu Fu didn't say anything.
Only after Penny insisted and strictly forbade discussing business in the house did the conversation finally subside.
Xu Fu didn't ask anything else, and Johnson and Penny didn't intend to interfere too much with Xu Fu's nightlife. After all, Xu Fu was an adult, and according to American standards, even if Xu Fu had moved out and was living on his own, they couldn't say anything.
In fact, Xu Fu himself had no ill intentions toward organizations like S.H.I.E.L.D., and his original intention in establishing S.H.I.E.L.D. was good.
Howard Stark is a member of the Brotherhood of S.H.I.E.L.D., and he is genuinely dedicated to the survival of humanity.
Unfortunately, they themselves are not up to par. They can't even manage a good organization properly. What kind of cowardly, vicious, and incoherent 953 group? It's one thing to have them, but you didn't even set any limits for them.
Dr. Zola was able to develop such powerful abilities single-handedly within S.H.I.E.L.D. Did the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. team have their brains eaten by zombies? Did they all collectively succumb to the writers' incompetent plot armor?
In any case, Xu Fu now has absolutely no interest in this corrupt organization, no matter who he wants to find!
Moreover, he was waiting for it to disintegrate and take in all sorts of talents. He could leave aside those who had become seasoned veterans, but he was here to save those highly intelligent talents from the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy.
But for now, it's best to deal with senior executives.
Xu Fu cannot guarantee that his hypnosis and control techniques will always be effective. If they suddenly become ineffective one day and he is no longer around, wouldn't he have helped someone else?
Therefore, the primary task is to seize the superpowers from Kylo and hand them over to someone Xu Fu trusts.
At first, Xu Fu wasn't in a hurry, but after talking with Johnson today, he realized that he really needed someone like that to help him handle everything.
Just as Tony has Pepper and Jarvis, Bruce has Alfred and Lucius, and how could a tycoon like them abandon a complete steward?
Chapter 1601 Future
Christmas is approaching, and Xu Fu, as a high school student, has gained another privilege: winter vacation.
American high school students' winter break usually starts about two weeks before Christmas, because Christmas is like the Spring Festival for Chinese people—it must be celebrated.
Xu Fu didn't particularly like Christmas, but this holiday was good news for him.
Xu Fu had no intention of dropping out of school. For someone with a photographic memory and exceptional insight, learning was indeed a very enjoyable experience.
The pain of learning lies in not understanding what you don't understand. If you treat mathematics as a book, you will naturally feel pain. But Xu Fu doesn't feel that way. He understands everything he learns and learns very quickly. How could he not be happy?
Do you remember when we were little, sitting on small stools listening to our teachers explain how the world works, why it rains, why the wind blows, why the sun rises in the east and sets in the west...? That feeling of sudden enlightenment can easily captivate us, and Xu Fu experienced it firsthand. Why wasn't he happy?
Ultimately, although Marvel has gods and demons, it is still a world of Scientology.
Besides, Xu Fu possesses countless advanced technologies, so there's no need for him to force himself to cultivate into an immortal. Cultivation is merely a means for him to improve his strength. He has a talent tree system, so it's not difficult for him to improve on his own. The challenge lies in how to help everyone improve together.
Science and technology is a universal path of development, unlike cultivation of immortality or magic, which require exceptionally high talent and randomness.
Technological advancement is the inevitable path for all mankind to become gods. Just look at the Kryptonians near DC. When everyone is a superman, they will naturally be space spheres, fighter jets, and the like. They will be nothing but trash.
Unless there is a cultivation method that can allow Xu Fu to directly reach the level of the five creator gods in Marvel, technological advancements are more promising for him. This is his worldview, and this is how he is determined. In the Marvel world, he must adhere to this worldview.
Even after becoming the owner of Embraer and possessing a talent pool that could be exchanged for various technologies, Xu Fu continued to improve his scientific and cultural literacy. This was because to foresee what would happen next, one needed to acquire certain knowledge; it was a matter of perspective.
So why is this holiday good news for Xu Fu?
Xu Fu didn't want to drop out of school or leave, so he spent a lot of time at school every day, leaving him no time for anything else.
For example, his company, Embraer, produced its first high-profile news story.
"Dr. Otto-Gunther, hello."
"Not bad," Xu Fu commented in a low voice. "The Doctor Octopus in front of me is not as short, lecherous, and ugly as he is in the comics, but more like the old Spider-Man from the trilogy—elegant, wise, and dashing."
"Hello, are you Mr. Kevin Lin?"
Otto looked doubtful. No wonder he was like that. Ivan Vanke thought so too. After all, Xu Fu's expression was too childish, like a primary school student. It was hard to believe that he was the president of a company with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars.
In the comics, Doctor Octopus is a very bad character, unlike Otto Gunther in the movies, who is more like a brilliant scientist.
Xu Fu studied the man standing in front of him; he would be a cash cow for Embraer for a long time to come.
Energy is a major problem that plagues the entire world, and countless people are searching for countless ways to solve it.
Solar energy, hydropower, wind power, and geothermal energy.
But in the end, it turned out that the real solution to the problem was nuclear energy.
Nuclear energy is further divided into nuclear fission and nuclear fusion based on the reaction method.
Currently, all nuclear power plants in the world are fission-type, characterized by large scale, large land area, high energy consumption, significant safety hazards, strong radioactivity, and insufficient power.
Unlike fission, fusion almost completely solves all these problems.
Fusion reactors offer more powerful and stable energy, lower radiation, virtually no environmental pollution, and many other advantages over fission reactions, making the realization of fusion energy production a research topic for scientists worldwide.
Otto-Gunther is a leading expert in this field.
In fact, Tony's Arc Reactor is also a type of fusion reaction, only the research direction is slightly different.
Otto is turning his efforts toward fusion reactions because they have a higher overall energy value and energy output, require more affordable fuel, and are moving toward large-scale power generation. Once built, such a reactor could provide electricity for at least a modern metropolis.
On the other hand, the arc reactor is a cold nuclear reaction, which is far inferior to the fusion reactor in terms of overall energy and power. The required fuel is also more difficult to find, and its use is more for large-scale equipment and special situations.
In other words, Tony's reactor is not suitable for large-scale power generation. It is too expensive and lacks sufficient power. It might be suitable for use in some covert special organizations or aircraft carriers, but it is not appropriate for powering cities.
