Chapter 65: The Military's Compromise
Arthur held the "Life and Death Pill" in his hand, and his heart blossomed, and the true dragon essence blood not only greatly increased his strength, but also enhanced his superpower "equivalent exchange". Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although the superpower of "equivalent exchange" is powerful, there are various limitations, such as the exchange items must be similar in nature and of equal value, etc.
Take the "Life and Death Pill" as an example, in order to trade this miracle medicine that reverses life and death, it is necessary to exchange ten copies of the "Regeneration Elixir" with similar properties, but when the production of the "Regeneration Elixir" is needed, it takes a lot of time to exchange the "Life and Death Pill".
However, the enhanced "equivalent exchange" superpower no longer has such a troublesome prerequisite, and it does not need to be similar in nature, and there is no need to make a finished "regeneration potion", as long as the value is similar, it can be exchanged.
In the past few days, Arthur has used the raw materials of the "Regeneration Elixir" and some spirit stones to exchange twenty "Life and Death Pills", and it is even easier to exchange "Lower Grade Spirit Stones", as long as there are raw materials for the "arc reactor", Arthur can have as many spirit stones as he wants, and he traded a hundred spirit stones at once and put them in the "Space Acceptance Ring" in case of emergency.
Arthur's superpowers are now ten times more efficient than before, and even the energy spent on using superpowers is only half of the original, which virtually saves him a lot of time and energy.
"Hah!" The feeling of harvest is too good, Arthur smirked directly in the office alone, he was confident that he could use the existing resources in his hands to make his cultivation go further in a year's time, and it was only a matter of time before he broke through the "Condensation Realm".
Arthur longed to be immersed in cultivation twenty-four hours a day, but it was a pity that the visit of one person broke Arthur's peaceful life.
…………
Arthur looked at Major Casey, the military representative in front of him, and was amused in his heart, he hadn't seen Major Casey lose a lot of weight in a few days, and it seemed that the matter of Skull Island was scolded by his superiors.
"Mr. Arthur, this is the reward for the mission that was promised to you!"
Casey held a long knife with a sheath in both hands and placed it in front of Arthur, this long knife has a dark scabbard, the handle is made of pure wood, the knife is golden, the blade is straight, three fingers wide, and one meter long, which is a standard "Tang knife".
Arthur unceremoniously picked up the long knife and pulled it out, and the bright silver sword light flashed around, making a crisp knife groan.
"Good knives!" Arthur praised it heartily, and then tapped the blade lightly with his index finger, listening to the unique sound of the long knife.
"Weng~~"
Arthur stroked the long knife lovingly, and after a full five minutes, he put it away and handed it to Kane, who had already shining.
Kane excitedly took the long knife, holding it in both hands and looking at it carefully, he didn't want to let go, his long knife had previously retired honorably to deal with the "Iron Overlord", and now this long knife made of "Edelman alloy" came at the right time.
Edelman alloy is one of the hardest metals existing in the Marvel world, derived from the combination of cosmic meteorite and vibranium, it can be described as indestructible after molding, Kane waved the knife a few times as soon as he got it, no matter the weight or quality, this knife won his heart, Kane tried the sharpness of the knife a little, and cut off the corners of the pure wooden desk with a slight wave, the sharpness can be imagined.
"Is Mr. Arthur still satisfied?" Casey seemed very reserved in the face of Arthur this time, not only was she humble, but she didn't even dare to look at Arthur.
Of course, Arthur knew the reason for Casey's change in attitude, and I was afraid that the scene of the battle between Arthur and Magneto three days ago had already been known to the U.S. military, so he sent Casey to find out the attitude of Arthur and the Night Stalker's office.
In fact, it is indeed as Arthur thought, the military discovered three days ago that one of the culprits responsible for the disaster in New York was Arthur, and Professor X only modified the minds of ordinary people, not the powerful organs such as the military or S.H.I.E.L.D.
After the military discovered the culprit, they did not overreact, Arthur's strong strength shocked some people, and the military once held a high-level meeting for Arthur's problem, in which the military top brass was divided into two factions.
One faction believes that the culprits of the New York disaster should be severely punished and Arthur brought to justice.
The other faction believes that they should plan and then act, temporarily conceal the truth that Arthur is the culprit, not be an enemy of him, and should also take the initiative to show goodwill, understand the inside situation, and seize Arthur's weakness before acting.
Soon plotted the upper hand of the faction and successfully persuaded those radicals, after all, no one was willing to risk their lives to trouble Arthur, Arthur showed strength beyond the army's bearing limit, and without the use of nuclear bombs, no one was confident that Arthur could be captured, if Arthur was forced to destroy the city in a hurry, the military could not afford the consequences.
Major Casey came to the Night Stalker Office this time, in addition to giving Arthur the balance of the previous Skull Island mission, indicating that the military had revealed the matter of Skull Island, he also had a very important mission.
"Mr. Arthur was at war with Magneto in New York before, and I don't know why?" This is probably a question that everyone wants to know.
It's depressing, in fact, Arthur himself doesn't know how to answer Casey's question, he fought with Magneto inexplicably, and the end is even more inexplicable, but he knows that Casey is coming to explore the cause of the New York War on behalf of the military this time, and he must give a reason to say the past.
"I was tasked with dealing with Obadi-Stein, and on the way to escort him to the police station, Magneto led people to rescue Obadi, and this is how the fight started!" Arthur knew that the reason he said was very, until the moment of Obadi's death, Magneto was unmoved, obviously not caring about Obadai's life and death, but he only knew this one reason, and he had already told the whole truth, as for the US military was not satisfied, it was none of his business.
"Why did Magneto save Obadi?"
Arthur heard Casey's question and fell silent, he really didn't know the answer, he could only say it truthfully.
"I don't know!"
Hearing Arthur's answer, Casey was about to explode his lungs, Arthur didn't know if he could explain the 2,000 innocent victims affected by his battle with Magneto? So far, the U.S. government has not counted the losses in the battle of New York, but Gu Casey knows that it will be at least billions of dollars, or even more than 10 billion dollars.
But Casey didn't dare to show a little temper in front of Arthur, but he had seen the surveillance video of Arthur's battle with Magneto, Arthur's fist breaking through the ground and kicking the steel torrent was still in his mind, once he annoyed Arthur, Casey didn't know what he would do.
Casey didn't dare to ask Arthur about Magneto, so he took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Arthur, and said with a pleasant face.
"This is a new commissioned mission from the military, and Mr. Arthur is invited to take a look!"
Naturally, Arthur would not refuse, and after he took the document, he saw a photo on the first page of the document, and the green figure in the photo made his pupils shrink.
"Hulk?"
