Chapter 55: Sky Carrier! Tom Arrives!
General Ross, inside the command vehicle, looked very displeased when he realized Banner had escaped again! He no longer had the ability to pursue, so he could only make new plans. Soon after, Bronski arrived in the command vehicle with Banner's backpack.
"General, this is Bruce Banner's backpack!"
"Good, take the injured away. We're returning to New York!"
Bronski, who had entered the command vehicle, handed Banner's backpack to General Ross. General Ross's heart leaped with joy when he saw the computer inside, thinking he might be able to obtain some information from it! He then instructed Bronski to arrange for the injured and immediately return to New York.
Bronski looked at General Ross, wanting to speak but ultimately not asking his question. He left the command vehicle to direct the soldiers to take the injured away! His mind was full of doubts about Bruce Banner, as the other party had suddenly become so powerful. General Ross's purpose in pursuing him was probably to obtain that power.
Although Bronski was a soldier, it didn't mean he couldn't think. Bruce Banner was indeed an excellent scientist, but even if he had stolen the Military's experimental data, it was unlikely that a Lieutenant General would lead a team to pursue him. However, if it was for that power, then it was possible.
...
Over the past month, Jiang Bai's relationship with Tom and Jerry had improved significantly. Tom's favorability had not yet broken through 100%, likely as he had thought—it would probably reach 100% once he bought Tom from his Master.
During this time, Tony had been visiting quite frequently and had informed him of the chosen location for the Illuminati Base! Construction had already begun at that site. With Tony personally researching various machinery, the construction speed was unusually fast. In this past month, it was already nearing completion.
One could only say that the construction companies in this World were too outrageous. Realizing this was the Marvel Universe, he felt relieved. In the timeline, after the Battle of New York, New York quickly recovered to its original state! This showed how formidable the construction companies within the Marvel Universe were.
However, Tony was using a construction company under Stark Industries! During this period, no strange monsters appeared. Jiang Bai also made a transaction with Grey Wolf, and the item of transaction was a Sky Carrier! It was a Sky Carrier that required various black technologies.
Grey Wolf didn't specify exactly what he wanted, only saying that he would tell Jiang Bai when he needed it! It seemed that this was the effect of their friendship. He wasn't worried that Jiang Bai wouldn't keep his word, and Jiang Bai readily agreed. Friendship is a give-and-take, and that's how relationships grow closer.
Once Grey Wolf's favorability towards him reached 100%, he could directly invite Grey Wolf to this World. Jiang Bai also intended to use the Sky Carrier for the future Illuminati and himself. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't take it out unless there were some emergency situations.
Additionally, he planned to first raise Tom's favorability to 100%. Looking at the gold bar in his hand, Jiang Bai prepared to contact Tom. As for Tom's Master, he had already figured out it was that black lady! This way, buying Tom should be much smoother.
After connecting with Tom, he was currently lying on the sofa with Jerry, watching TV and eating cheese. During this time, Jiang Bai had given Tom and Jerry many delicious foods and snacks.
"Tom, give this gold bar to your Master, and have her bring out what I traded to you!"
During this time, Jiang Bai had mentioned it to Tom a few times. Tom was very hesitant at first but later agreed! Then Jiang Bai traded a circular device and a gold bar to Tom. The circular device was a holographic projection. As long as he hadn't reached 100% favorability, he couldn't go to Tom's World.
He could only buy Tom from the black lady through the holographic projection device. With Tom's agreement, a gold bar and a circular device appeared in Tom's hand. Then the circular device instantly transformed into Jiang Bai's appearance. These were all pre-set and not controlled by Jiang Bai through the system.
Grey Wolf's technology wasn't advanced enough to control things across a World. Jiang Bai, wearing a white suit, appeared in front of Tom and was quickly discovered by the black lady!
"Who are you? How did you get in?!"
"Hello, madam, I would like to buy your cat. This is the price I'm offering. Tom, give it to her."
"A gold bar!!! Yes! Deal, Tom is yours from now on!"
"Alright!"
The black lady looked at the holographic projection of Jiang Bai with a serious expression, her eyes full of vigilance. Because the holographic projection made Jiang Bai indistinguishable from a normal person, she didn't know it was just a projection! Then Jiang Bai stated his purpose and signaled Tom to give the gold bar to the black lady.
Upon seeing a gold bar, she didn't even think twice and instantly agreed to sell Tom to Jiang Bai. After snatching the gold bar from Tom's hand, she excitedly weighed it and even bit it to confirm it was real gold, becoming even happier. Tom, however, looked dejected.
The moment the black lady agreed to the transaction, Jiang Bai noticed that Tom's favorability towards him reached 100%. He would be able to enter Tom's World, and Tom could also enter his World! Not just Tom, even Jerry could come to this World through Tom.
"Tom, don't be disheartened. She doesn't know what kind of treasure she missed. Don't worry, I will cherish you more than her!"
Noticing the dejection on Tom's face, Jiang Bai sincerely spoke to Tom. Tom nodded and regained his usual vibrancy. Then Jiang Bai invited Tom and Jerry to his World. The next second, his holographic projection device was in Tom's hand, who then grabbed Jerry with the other hand.
They instantly vanished from the spot. The black lady looked at this strange scene with a bit of fear, but after realizing the gold was real, she patted her chest and walked towards her bedroom!
"Ding! Detected that the transaction target has arrived in the host's World. Once the transaction target leaves his World for too long, the transaction target's World will gradually detach from the system with time and space, and eventually, the transaction target will never be able to return to his original World! The transaction target must return to the original World within one year to ensure the original World does not detach from the system!"
At this moment, the system suddenly popped up a notification, which initially made Jiang Bai a little nervous, but he relaxed when he saw the one-year timeframe. As long as Tom returned once a year, it would be fine, so there was nothing to worry about! As the system's voice faded.
A white light appeared in front of Jiang Bai, revealing a blue and white cat and a brown mouse—it was Tom and Jerry!
The moment Tom saw Jiang Bai's true form, he immediately rushed over and hugged Jiang Bai's leg.
