I'm grinding for Marvel attributes

Chapter 131 Russell's eyes lit up

A demon god who's trying to scam people?

On a sudden impulse, Tony blurted out, "Mephisto?"

Tony remembered.

Several months ago, the Avengers assembled for the first time to travel to the Quantum Realm to rescue Russell.

However, they ended up seeing Russell, two Ancient Ones, and Mephisto playing mahjong.

And, to conduct a transaction.

Russell nodded, confirming Tony's guess.

“That’s right. In the quantum realm, I earned 20 billion units of energy from Mephisto.”

Upon hearing this number, Tony couldn't help but sigh.

"Russell, if you want to earn a lot of energy, it seems you should set your sights on the Dimensional Demons."

Russell nodded; he thought so too.

It's a very simple mathematical calculation.

20 billion ÷ 3/day ≈ day ≈ 183 years

The energy extorted from this one dimensional demon is equivalent to Russell's liver for 183 years.

This doesn't even include the stable annual returns.

"Russell, aren't you afraid of things going wrong?"

After his initial exclamation, Tony asked another question.

Earning energy from dimensional demons is certainly a high-reward endeavor, but it is also a high-risk endeavor.

Russell smiled confidently: "No matter how many dimensional demons there are, none of them are my match."

"It's not just this, there's also the problem of magical energy erosion."

"Don't worry, that won't be a problem either. Tony, have you forgotten about my special energy?"

When Russell's special energy was mentioned, Tony immediately connected the two things.

"So, Russell, you can convert ordinary magical energy into your kind of special energy that has no effect?"

“That’s right.” Russell nodded.

What is the ratio?

"1:1"

“Exchanging energy for a profit is certainly one way to earn energy,” Tony said thoughtfully.

"But the problem of energy transmission is not easy to solve," Russell said helplessly.

"No, Russell, you don't understand business."

"Energy has no expiration date, so this problem doesn't need to be solved at all."

"Compare your special energy to a commodity."

"You can find distributors and have them help you sell them."

“That way, Russell, you can also earn energy from the mages and other gods,” Tony explained.

Russell's eyes lit up.

The blinding light momentarily blinded Tony and Steve.

“Tony, that’s definitely a good idea.”

Russell nodded in satisfaction.

When it comes to business matters, it's always a good idea to ask for professional advice; it's another way to build up your skills and knowledge.

Once this sales channel is established, the energy that can be earned will probably be no less than what one could extort or blackmail from dimensional demons.

wrong.

After extorting money, the Dimensional Demon God can also become its own distributor.

The two are not in conflict.

Now, in the initial energy accumulation stage, we can only continue to struggle against the dimensional demons.

With his mind opened up, Russell also thought of something else.

That is to emulate the planet devourer and cultivate agents to help him find suitable dimensional demons for extortion.

"Jarvis, get me some wet wipes."

Tony covered his eyes, took the wet wipe Jarvis handed him, wiped his eyes, and then complained to Russell.

"Hey Russell, what's wrong with your eyes? They suddenly look like flashbangs."

"That's called a pleasant surprise."

"It means that you suddenly understand a principle or suddenly think of something, and you have a new way to solve the problem."

“I’m praising you, Tony,” Russell explained earnestly.

"Shit!" Tony couldn't help but curse.

"Russell, you'd better stop praising Tony. I don't think he'll like that kind of praise."

Meanwhile, Steve also received a wet wipe from Jarvis. He applied the wipe to his eyes and rubbed them, which made him feel a little better.

Since Steve received the super soldier gene serum injection experiment, his physical abilities have been greatly enhanced.

Even looking directly at the sun is fine.

This is the first time I've ever been blinded by a bright light.

All I can say is that Russell is utterly inhuman.

At this moment, Steve's idealized view of Russell shattered.

Russell's proactive action against the cosmic villains, the Dark Order, once made Steve think that Russell was a kind and loving person with a heart for all living beings in the universe.

"Steve?"

Suddenly, a slightly hesitant voice rang out.

"Is that you, Steve? And where is this?"

Bucky, the Winter Soldier, has awakened!

Ignoring the slight sting in his eyes, Steve removed the wet wipes from his eyes and opened them to look at Bucky.

"Bucky, it's me."

Steve got up and gave Bucky a big bear hug.

He then inquired in a low voice about what had happened after Pakistan fell off the cliff.

Just as the two were catching up, Tony opened his eyes and looked at Bucky.

A dangerous glint flashed in his eyes.

After a brief moment of excitement, Steve remembered the important matter and asked with concern, "Bucky, do you remember what you did in 1991?"

"I"

Bucky opened his mouth, then closed it again.

He also noticed the way Tony was looking at him from the sofa.

In an instant, countless fragments of memories flooded in, helping him to piece together the events.

"I know what I did, I'm sorry Tony."

Bucky lowered his head in remorse, his voice low and somber.

"I know I hurt you, but I want you to know that I'm sorry."

“You have no right to apologize.” Tony’s voice was flat and cold. That wasn’t what he wanted to hear.

“That’s right, I don’t deserve to live.” Bucky’s body relaxed, showing no will to resist, seemingly wanting to die.

“Bucky, this isn’t true. The one who did those things wasn’t you. It’s all Hydra’s fault.”

Seeing this, Steve quickly defended Bucky.

“I can speak for myself, Steve.” Bucky slowly raised his head and looked at Tony. “I did those things, and I take responsibility. But I’m truly sorry.”

"Steve is right, Hydra is wrong."

Sergeant Barnes, I don't need your apology.

“All I need is for you to tell me who ordered you to assassinate my parents, Howard Stark and Maria Stark.”

Tony's tone remained calm, but it had lost some of its coldness.

After careful consideration, Bucky replied:

"I don't know his name, I only know that other people call him Colonel."

"A Hydra colonel who infiltrated the former Soviet Union? You should remember what he looked like, Bucky?" Tony continued.

“I remember,” Bucky nodded.

“Okay, then describe it. Jarvis, based on Sergeant Barnes’ description, draw a sketch and search for it.”

"He is a..."

As Baki narrates, a sketch of a middle-aged Russian man appears on the screen.

“Jarvis, deduce what he looks like now.”

Tony continued to instruct Jarvis to deduce the colonel's current appearance based on how he looked more than twenty years ago.

“As far as I can remember, this colonel hasn’t changed. He must have also been injected with a special gene serum,” Bucky reminded him.

Jarvis

This is a version of the Winter Soldier apologizing that hishe made.
