Chapter 20: Who's the Protagonist?
Although Natasha was a target of S.H.I.E.L.D. in her early years, after switching to S.H.I.E.L.D. under the coordination of Level 7 Agent Clint Patton, S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury trusts her very much.
As an extremely good agent, Natasha has lived up to Nick Fury's trust and completed many difficult tasks extremely perfectly.
In fact, she already has level 7 clearance, which is really not easy for agents who have switched from outside.
"She tested the potion?"
Melinda thought for a moment and shook her head:
"Haven't you heard of any major injuries she've been doing lately?"
"This ......"
Coulson hesitated, but lowered his voice:
"Grapevine, it is said that on a mission to rescue Iranian scientists a while ago, Natasha was pierced in the abdomen by a bullet, leaving a wound that cannot be healed.
So she was distressed because she couldn't wear a bikini since then – and of course she said it would limit her ability to go undercover on certain special occasions. ”
“……”
Melinda held her forehead:
"So she found out about this potion, and she went straight to spend a lot of money? That's 5,000 dollars, five throws, and we're getting a civil servant's salary. ”
"Once the potion is confirmed, the money will be reimbursed."
Coulson shrugged, unsurprisingly seeing Melinda roll her eyes.
"Okay, this potion is indeed very powerful, and it can even shock the entire medical community, but if you want to say that the seventh-level level that threatens national security, it's still a little reluctant, after all, it's not the era of cold weapons anymore."
There are a variety of high-power, modern weapons produced by Stark Industries, and the usefulness of this potion on the battlefield is infinitely reduced.
Of course, it can still shine on the battlefield as a top-secret level of scientific research, but ......
"That's right, that's not enough for Dr. Lin to have such a high level of mission, and the same is true for his other invention, air purification and green plants."
When Coulson said this, his face became a little strange:
"But this time, the task was given by the director himself, and the reason why he was allowed to copy the file and bring it out was because Dr. Lin's information was only level six.
What really brought the mission level to level 7 was the order given by the director himself. ”
"What's going on with such a mystery?"
An order from Director Nick Fury himself? How did Dr. Lin offend him?
As such an excellent scientist, this Dr. Lin can be said to be super low-key.
"The director of the bureau...... He said......"
Coulson saw that the "Emerald Dream" green plant shop in front of him could be seen, and began to slow down, as if he was a little unspeakable:
"He said, 'Investigate Oakes Lin's ...... as much as possible without offending the target.'"
Looking at Melinda's increasingly dangerous gaze as he slurred, he swallowed and uttered the last two words:
"His cat."
“???”
Melinda stared at Coulson, a smile on her lips:
"Coulson? Listen to Coulson, if this mission is a ghost idea you came up with to make your mother happy, I have to say that you screwed up. ”
"You're my best friend, and I really don't want to wait for me to drive you straight to the hospital."
"No, no, no Melinda, everything I say is the truth!"
Coulson was sweating on his forehead, and there was a riotous Audi R8 roadster in front of the green plant store in front of him, he looked at the car, and then at his classic car, and muttered in a low voice:
"Hey, Laura, you're my favorite, those looks that haven't been precipitated by time can't be compared to the classics."
"Hey, Coulson, if you don't explain it in 30 seconds, the repair cost of the car in front of you will be charged to your bill."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa...... It's too dangerous to snatch the steering wheel, Melinda! ”
Coulson hurriedly parked nearby, and was about to calm Melinda, who was about to explode, when he saw the door of the plant shop open.
A compelling figure strode up to the Audi R8, opened the door, and motioned for the blonde lady behind him to get into the car.
Coulson and Melinda watched as the man who seemed to shine golden light put on his sunglasses, sat in the cab, made a phone call, and then started the car and drove away, looking at each other.
Tony Stark...... and his assistant Pepper Potts. ”
Before Coulson could speak, Melinda spoke, and there was no trace of anger on her face:
"Involved with this big man, it seems that this store is not simple."
"The mission target is Oaks Lim's cat, is this cat a modified creature? Or a robot cat? Or is it a biologically and mechanically modified body? ”
Coulson was silent for a moment and sighed:
"Anyway, go on a mission, and Melinda, you should read fewer novels and movies."
"In the face of a true Level 7 classified target, we must demonstrate the professionalism of a senior agent."
Melinda snorted coldly, opened the car door and got out of the car first:
"Don't forget, although the incident in Bahrain had a great impact on me, I also faced that incredible ability, and the reality is more exaggerated than novels and movies!"
So, after Tony Stark left, Zhang greeted the new guests.
"Welcome, you two, you can take a look."
Zhang smiled and introduced the business to Coulson and Melinda:
"You two should have sensed that the world is different from the moment you step through the door."
"It's really different, I thought maybe I could consider buying a few potted plants to go back, the air is so comfortable."
Melinda seemed to be scanning the potted plants on the shelves, but in fact she quickly analyzed the information of the entire field of vision.
A young Asian clerk in his twenties, super greenery with amazing purification effect, and an unremarkable storefront.
In the materials I just saw, there is also a brief description of this store.
After glancing around, finding no target, Melinda quietly exchanged glances with Coulson.
Coulson turned to Zhang, with a signature smile on his face that was more relatable than Melinda's affinity as a woman:
"It's a great masterpiece, but we're here today for that special potion - the one Dr. Lin posted on the forum."
"Oh, recovery potion?"
Zhang's spirits are lifted, and he is a local tyrant, no wonder his face is calm and unhurried:
"As a successful man, your eyes are amazing!"
A bottle of emerald green potion was carefully placed on the counter by Zhang, and he glanced at Melinda, who seemed to be admiring the greenery, and squeezed his eyes at Coulson:
"Sir, you have come at a good time, the boss has unlocked the new features of this potion not long ago, you and this lady will definitely be satisfied."
"What's new?"
Coulson was stunned, has this potion been revised?
"Tony Stark's Romantic Night with Ten Cover Girls—"
Zhang showed a meaningful ambiguous smile:
"This potion, but the protagonist!"
