"Mr. Ye is the Vice President, and I'm the Deputy Director. I think we're quite a match~"
Hill spoke with awkward flirtation, trying to seduce Ye Li.
"Heh... Our situations aren't quite the same~"
The Vice President, a little smug, said, "Our club's President just got schooled by me, the Vice President~"
"I'm serious..."
Hill thought Ye Li was looking down on her status, so she slid her red plaid shirt halfway off, revealing her smooth, slender back, and leaned over him seductively:
"I don't just want to play with you once... anytime you want in the future... I'm always available..."
"Oh? That good?"
Ye Li caressed her back and said,
"Do you want me to help you dismantle Hydra's Insight Plan?"
"What?"
Maria Hill was shocked and quickly looked up, asking,
"What do you know?"
"Hehe~"
Seeing her switch to a serious tone so quickly, Ye Li couldn't help but laugh and slid his hand down, pinching her butt cheek as he said:
"You're really not good at seduction, Agent Hill."
"This is important! Please tell me!"
Hill clung to his shoulders with both hands, her gray-green eyes locked onto him, expression deadly serious.
"Why so serious? Weren't you smiling so nicely just now~"
Ye Li teased the strong woman with amusement, tapping his lips with a finger:
"Give me a kiss first, and then I'll tell you... mmph!"
What he didn't expect was———
Before he could finish, Hill decisively pressed her soft lips onto his, offering her awkward first kiss...
As expected, she's swift and direct...
…..
"Hah~..."
Hill pulled away from Ye Li, face a bit unnatural, and said: "Now can you tell me?"
"Your technique's not that great..."
"Hurry up, you promised me!"
"Alright... alright..."
Ye Li didn't mess around with the beauty and gently ran his hand across the smooth skin of her back———
huenn~
A blue light flashed.
On her beautifully curved, sleek back,
A silver laptop appeared.
"What did you put on my back?"
Hill sensed something strange behind her and thought Ye Li was starting some sort of kinky shame-play...
'On the back... '
'...Could it be wax play?!'
Maria Hill blushed, unsure and suspicious, and began to struggle!
"I might reluctantly agree to other things! But not this one!"
She was no damn masochist!
"What are you doing? Stop moving."
Ye Li held down her restless back and inserted Egghead's silver USB stick into the laptop.
[Beep———]
The USB had a tracking system that would auto-send coordinates to S.H.I.E.L.D. upon connection, but he blocked it right away.
"What are you... doing?"
Hill turned her face, shaking the deep brown curls that were in the way, and finally realized———
Ye Li was actually operating a laptop on her back...
"You're trying to hack the data on the USB?"
"Correct. I'll give you a reward later."
tata...tata...tata...
After a few taps on the keyboard, Ye Li found the data in the USB was being protected by some sort of artificial intelligence, constantly reorganizing itself to resist the computer's read commands.
He wasn't going to let that slide.
He immediately lit up his index fingertip with golden light and tapped lightly———
Wuenn~
With the combination of the Mind Stone's power and hacking skills,
A strand of Ye Li's consciousness successfully infiltrated the data network.
In this world entirely composed of code, there was a balding dwarf-like man wearing round glasses, looking pervy, ugly, and exuding evil.
He was Arnim Zola, also known as Doctor Zola.
(A Hydra member who, before death, used consciousness storage tech to convert himself into a pseudo-AI, and was the mastermind behind the Insight Plan.)
"Someone else can enter the data world with their mind, like me?"
Doctor Zola was quite surprised upon detecting Ye Li's intrusion.
However.
After the shock faded.
He began attempting to rewrite the intruder's thoughts using code, trying to control Ye Li.
However.
Zola's program attacks were instantly blocked by an invisible force upon nearing Ye Li's golden mental construct———
——— [Absolute Mind Shield]: Nullifies all attempts to influence consciousness.
"How is this possible!?"
Arnim Zola always considered the data world his undefeated domain—he never expected to be shut down like this!
wuenn~!
Before he could respond again, the golden light began rewriting the surrounding code, trapping him in place.
"Still trying to invade me? Doctor Zola, you really don't know when to quit."
Ye Li recognized Arnim Zola and approached, golden light attempting to decode his program.
"Cooperate nicely, hand over the consciousness storage tech, and I'll spare your life."
If he could obtain Zola's tech and combine it with the Mind Stone, Ye Li would be practically invincible in virtual cyberspace.
After all, in Marvel's What If series, the "Zola Virus" could even affect the Six-Stone "Infinity Ultron."
Even if this world was different, it probably wouldn't be too far off.
Ye Li could only win thanks to the "Absolute Mind Shield," which left Zola unable to fight back.
