I hate it when people only say half of what they mean!" Huang Wen grumbled, clearly annoyed. Then, he swept his thoughts around, confirming that Gu Yi had truly left. Still not reassured, he continued to use the Dream Butterfly Escape, traveling far west before finally stopping.
"How was it, Silly Girl? Were you able to calculate her strength?" Huang Wen asked Silly Girl after confirming that no one was around.
"Based on the values you provided, a rough scan shows that her physical fitness is not stronger than yours, Boss. However, the power contained within her body, not even counting qualitative changes, is at least ten times yours..." Silly Girl quickly gave a general answer, letting Huang Wen know the absolute gap between himself and Gu Yi.
"Ten times or more. Even with Silly Girl's power and the Diamond Indestructible Divine Art, I might not be her match!" Huang Wen couldn't help but ponder, "Moreover, Charles and the others should also be at the legendary level, but Gu Yi might not be. If she has surpassed the legendary limit, the Diamond Indestructible Divine Art might hit a bottleneck..."
"The most crucial thing is, this is only a rough scan. If she truly uses her full power, she might be even stronger. Although she isn't omniscient and omnipotent, on this planet, she is absolutely invincible!"
Even in such a comprehensive Marvel world, with all sorts of variables, Gu Yi's strength would definitely rank at the very top. And what Huang Wen worried about most was that Gu Yi possessed more power than what was shown in the movies.
"Forget it, I won't think about it anymore. She's not my enemy, and she hasn't discovered anything unusual about me. Instead of thinking about her, I should think about how to get more draws or improve my own strength!" Huang Wen quickly recovered. He continued westward, crossing the somewhat chaotic Middle East, and eventually reached the Mediterranean region.
"Hmm? Now that I think about it, isn't it time for Stank to be kidnapped?" Huang Wen suddenly remembered something, glancing at the Middle East he had just passed. "After all, the Hulk has been around for a long time, and it's almost time for Iron Man to emerge..."
"There doesn't seem to be any need to save Stank. After all, he has his own path of growth. Besides, saving an Iron Man who wouldn't have been in trouble anyway probably wouldn't give any rewards, right?"
"However, if I calculate it this way, the Battle of New York is only four years away. That's the big event I need to focus on personally. After all, nothing can happen to the people in Chinatown. Four years should be enough time for Wolverine and the others to master their martial arts..."
"And even if I don't get stronger rewards, this long period of time should allow me to improve my strength further. It's just that whether it's special abilities or Bai Zhantang's Sunflower School martial arts, they're both a bit stretched at the legendary level... Hmm?"
Huang Wen was still calculating in his mind when he suddenly felt a faint, strange fluctuation flash in the distance. Huang Wen subconsciously looked over but found nothing.
"Silly Girl, did you feel that? What's that place?" Huang Wen asked, pointing into the distance.
"Silly Girl didn't scan any abnormalities. As for that direction, it should be France," Silly Girl replied after using a passing satellite to scan the direction Huang Wen indicated.
"Interesting. Let's go take a look first. Maybe a mission will be issued!" A gleam flashed in Huang Wen's eyes, and he smiled as he headed in the direction he had sensed earlier. After a while, night fell, and Huang Wen arrived in a forest.
"Strange? The fluctuation I felt earlier was clearly here, so why can't I feel it now?" A hint of doubt flashed in Huang Wen's eyes as he released his sensing ability. "Hmm? A carriage? An oil lamp? Is this place that backward?"
In Huang Wen's perception, an old man wearing a hat was carrying an oil lamp and driving a carriage. Suddenly, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the sky above the forest, followed by a bolt of lightning striking a large tree in front of the old man, directly felling it and blocking the path the old man was supposed to take.
"How come I feel like I've seen a similar plot somewhere?" Huang Wen scratched his head in confusion, subconsciously walking towards the old man.
"Alright, we'll have to take another route, Philippe, let's go." The old man gently pulled the reins and headed in another direction. As the old man and the carriage entered that road, something incredible happened: snow began to fall from the sky, but it was only June!
"This is it!" Huang Wen's eyes lit up. The fluctuation he had felt earlier came from here. "A barrier? Magic? Interesting!"
"Awooo!" Just then, a wolf's howl interrupted Huang Wen. The old man was gradually surrounded by a pack of wolves and frantically drove the carriage forward, but the carriage hit a branch and instantly fell apart. The horse broke free from the reins and ran off due to fear. The old man fell onto a rock, surrounded by the slowly approaching wolf pack. It looked like a critical moment, a life-threatening situation.
"I'll save him," Huang Wen nodded and issued a mission, "Save this old man's life."
"Mission generating: Save Maurice's life. Reward: One mortal-tier item draw. Do you accept?"
"Accept! Another cushion!" A smile appeared on Huang Wen's lips. Now, he would never look down on mortal-tier item draws again. Was there any better cushion than this draw?
With a 'whoosh!', Huang Wen's figure flashed, and he appeared beside Maurice, smiling as he said, "Old man, are you alright?"
"Be careful! There are wolves all around..." The sudden appearance of Huang Wen startled Maurice for a moment, but in a life-or-death crisis, he couldn't afford to think too much. He quickly warned Huang Wen, and then he saw a wolf, unable to hold back, pounce first.
With a 'bang!', Huang Wen threw a punch, directly sending the wolf flying, where it landed heavily on the ground, whimpering.
"Gulp!" Maurice subconsciously swallowed, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing. This was punching a wolf away with bare hands.
Of course, Maurice didn't know that Huang Wen hadn't used his full strength at all, otherwise, the wolf would not have just been sent flying.
"Not leaving yet?" Huang Wen raised an eyebrow, looking at the wolf pack, who were somewhat fearful but still hadn't retreated, and shouted.
"Awooo!" The wolf pack didn't disperse; instead, they roared and pounced at Huang Wen again.
"Eh?" Huang Wen seemed to sense something, and he glanced in the direction he had come from with some surprise. He continued to throw punches, sending all the wolves flying. After the wolf pack retreated, Huang Wen nodded to Maurice, "Hurry and leave. It's not safe here..."
