Peter Parker's transformation originated from a farm."
"Twenty days ago, Peter Parker was still an ordinary person, often bullied at school, feeling inferior and timid. Aside from being good at studying, he was useless in everything else."
"We consulted some relevant individuals. Peter, on the morning twenty days ago, saw someone at the entrance of their high school. He then became that person's student, and that person is the Master of this farm."
"Peter's changes are most closely related to this person."
"Tell me, who is he?" The one-eyed Black man was expressionless.
"We checked and found that this farm belonged to other people forty-five days ago. Forty-five days ago, the Chairman of Stark Industries, Tony Stark, bought this farm, but the name on the property deed was not Tony Stark, but a person named Zhao Yu."
"This is his photo, an image we extracted from the surveillance video of Stark Tower."
Fury took the photo from Hill's hand and looked at it carefully for a moment: "This is just a young man, he looks only eighteen years old."
"Yes, he looks only seventeen or eighteen. But we continued to investigate and found that this person had no relationship with Tony before that. Zhao Yu, English name Owen Green, an orphan, left the orphanage two years ago and had been working at a courier company until forty-six days ago."
"You are very clear about the playboy's character, boss. I am very puzzled as to how this person named Zhao Yu convinced Tony and made Tony pay a sum of money to buy the farm and give it to him."
Fury pondered for a moment: "Perhaps something we don't know happened to him… So, what about that pill? Has its composition been tested? What are its effects?"
"The composition cannot be analyzed. Through various means, we only detected one component, which, when acting on the human body, produces a large amount of energy, making people energetic and healthier, but that's all."
The effect of the Essence Qi Pill is inherently like this, used to supplement the nutrition and energy required by the physical body. And it must be absorbed quickly during the process of cultivating martial arts and fist techniques to enhance physical fitness. If ordinary people take it, at most they will be healthier and more energetic.
As for the composition, it is naturally difficult to analyze the composition of pills refined through alchemy methods. Moreover, it is a system product!
"Many biological drugs can achieve such effects," Hill added.
Fury thought for a moment: "Call Coulson over."
A moment later, a formally dressed man with short hair, a receding hairline, not very tall, and gentle eyes walked in.
"Sir."
"Take this." Fury handed a stack of documents in his hand to Coulson: "I'm giving you a mission. Go visit the farm mentioned in the documents. I need to know what kind of person the Master of that farm is."
"Alright."
Coulson nodded and said: "Any hints?"
"That's for you to find out," Fury said. "If I knew, I wouldn't send you."
Coulson shrugged with a smile.
...
Outside the farm, Coulson was dumbfounded.
He had just arrived here, intending to ring the doorbell, and walked towards the gate under the idiotic gazes of the reporters squatting around. Then, his vision blurred, he saw some illusions, and somehow, he was back where he started.
Frowning in thought, he walked over to a nearby reporter with a chuckle: "Sir, could you tell me why this is happening?"
The reporter shrugged: "We don't know either. But as long as you get close to the gate, you'll be confused by illusions and inexplicably walk back."
"Only the gate?" Coulson asked.
"No. It should be the entire farm," the reporter said. "We've tried many methods, but obviously, the entire hundred-acre farm, every corner around it, is very secure."
Coulson thanked him, turned to look at the farm gate, and fell into thought.
Suddenly, he saw a young man—the young hero mentioned in the documents, Peter Parker—walk out from inside the gate.
The reporters immediately swarmed him like sharks smelling blood.
The young man easily pushed past these reporters and said: "Hi sir, Master asked me to invite you in."
Coulson looked around, pointing at his chest: "You, are you calling me?"
"Of course." Peter smiled: "Follow me."
Watching Peter lead that guy in, the reporters tried to follow, but unfortunately, they were still dumbfounded and returned to their original positions.
"God, I almost thought I'd be going back the way I came today."
Coulson followed closely behind Peter, complaining slightly: "Young man, what exactly is going on here? Why are such things happening? It's very magical, isn't it?"
Peter shrugged: "This is just to prevent harassment. You know, those reporters are not easy to deal with."
Coulson smiled with great amiability, saying: "Reporters are like sharks; wherever there's a smell of blood, they swarm, very annoying."
"Exactly, exactly." Peter agreed deeply: "They even forced Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei to consider moving. You know, they've already described this place as Ghost Farm…"
"Ghost Farm? That name is quite fitting. You know, I was quite startled just now. Let's get acquainted, I'm Phil Coulson. You're Peter Parker, right?" Coulson said with a smile.
"You know me? Uh… I guess you would." Peter remembered his current title as a young hero and was no longer surprised.
Coulson smiled without explaining.
"You just said your—Master? He knew I was coming to visit? Are there cameras at the gate?"
Peter shook his head: "Definitely not. He's always prescient—I remember the first time I came, he was waiting at the gate early in the morning, as if he knew when I would arrive. And Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei, he told me to go to the gate, and then they came."
Coulson nodded subtly: "Then he must be a very remarkable person. Is he a wizard? Or a superhuman?"
"I don't think so." Peter scratched his hair: "He told me that as long as one cultivates to a certain realm, all things in the World, from the sun, moon, and stars to atoms and quarks, from matter to energy, and even laws, are as clear as lines on one's palm. Anyway, I don't quite understand what's going on, but I should know later…"
"You mean, Cultivation?" Coulson seized the keyword.
Parker realized: "Sir, are you asking about something?"
Coulson felt regretful inside and said with a smile: "I'm just very curious, aren't I? Don't you think all this is very unusual?"
Peter shrugged: "Then you should ask my Master."
He stopped talking.
Seeing this, Coulson knew it would be difficult to get information from Peter, so he didn't say anything more. Along the way, he just looked around, checking if there was anything special, such as the source of this farm being called Ghost Farm.
From a distance, a small Villa was seen standing by the lake, nestled against the mountains and beside the Water, with pleasant scenery.
A woman was outside tending to the lawn. The two walked over, greeted her, and then entered the Villa.
Coulson was not surprised by Zhao Yu's young face. He had Zhao Yu's information and had read it many times.
"Hello, Mr. Zhao."
Coulson took out an ID from his jacket pocket: "I am Coulson from the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, nice to meet you."
"Strategic Homeland what?" Zhao Yu feigned a frown.
"S.H.I.E.L.D. for short," Coulson said with a smile.
"Please sit." Zhao Yu gestured with his hand, and after Coulson sat down, he said: "It sounds like your department is similar to the CIA or FBI. So, Mr. Coulson, why are you here to see me? I don't recall breaking any laws."
"S.H.I.E.L.D. is not the CIA or FBI. It is subordinate to the International Security Council and has no direct affiliation with the Government," Coulson explained.
"Then your purpose?"
Coulson smiled gently: "It's like this. The main purpose of S.H.I.E.L.D. is to protect the safety of humanity. Both externally and internally. Mr. Zhao is not an ordinary person, and should have some understanding of the other side of this World. We mainly deal with matters in this regard."
Zhao Yu didn't speak, just hummed, signaling Coulson to continue.
"Mr. Zhao, because he possesses power that Transcends ordinary people…"
"Wait." Zhao Yu waved his hand: "How do you know I possess power that Transcends ordinary people?"
Coulson chuckled, pointing to Peter beside him: "Peter Parker, twenty days ago, was just a scrawny high school student, but now, he is a hero."
Zhao Yu nodded: "So, what are you going to do? Recruit us?"
"No, Mr. Zhao may have misunderstood," Coulson said with a smile: "We will not recruit anyone. I came today, representing S.H.I.E.L.D., to have a simple meeting with Mr. Zhao. We get to know each other to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings in the future."
"Such as?"
"For example, when protecting the safety of this World, we can help each other," Coulson said with a smile.
"What you say is very pleasant to hear," Zhao Yu laughed: "Helping each other, not assisting you?"
"Of course not." Coulson said very sincerely: "We are born free and equal, aren't we?"
Zhao Yu laughed heartily, then said: "Besides that?"
"Besides that, I need to understand you, Mr. Zhao," Coulson said: "In order to estimate our own strength in certain situations and respond appropriately to any crisis."
"I understand what you mean." Zhao Yu waved his hand: "I don't like to stir up trouble; I prefer peace and quiet. So, you don't have to worry about me doing anything crazy. Of course, if you have a tricky situation and I have time, I am willing to offer some help. Or, Peter, my apprentice, he is more willing to do what he can for this World."
"As for myself… it's hard to describe, you will know later."
Coulson listened and smiled: "I can see that." He pointed outside: "Your farm is indeed very peaceful."
He stood up: "In that case, I will take my leave now. I Hope that in the future, we can become friends."
"Of course."
