In Sokovia, on a lush green lawn, a lavish wedding was currently taking place.
Aside from a few reporters with various professional camera equipment, the wedding guests were mostly the wealthiest and most influential people in all of Sokovia.
Clearly, the protagonists of this wedding were not ordinary people, or at least one of them was not.
"Li Chuan, do you take this woman to be your wife, to be wedded to her, to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health, and, forsaking all others, be faithful to her as long as you both shall live?"
The priest stood on the stage and asked a tall, handsome Chinese man on the left.
The man replied solemnly, "I do!"
The priest nodded, then looked at the woman on the right, dressed in a white wedding gown, with a prominent figure and a face that appeared both alluring and pure, and asked her the same question:
"Wanda Django Maximoff, do you take this man to be your husband, to be wedded to him, to love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health, and, forsaking all others, be faithful to him as long as you both shall live?"
The woman looked at the man opposite her with a blissful expression and nodded gently.
"I do!"
"Mission complete. Initiating Small World extraction. Small World extraction in progress. Extraction complete. Please view the extracted Small World in the World options."
After hearing Wanda utter the words "I do," a cold, electronic prompt sounded in Li Chuan's ear.
However, he had no time to attend to the prompt just yet, as the ring exchange and kissing part of the ceremony was about to begin.
Li Chuan, twenty years old, was originally just a rich second-generation idler in Sokovia. His parents' accidental deaths left him with a vast family fortune.
Three years ago, his temperament suddenly changed drastically. He began to actively intervene in the family business and, through a series of decisive actions, resurrected the once third-rate family enterprise, transforming it into the wealthiest and youngest Chinese entrepreneur in Sokovia today.
At the same time, he successfully entered into marriage with a girl who worked at a convenience store, whom he had been dating for three years.
This was the Sokovia News's assessment of Li Chuan, the rising genius entrepreneur.
In reality, three years ago, the original owner of the body had already died in an accident, and a transmigrator took over his body, leading to these Earth-shattering changes.
Not long after Li Chuan arrived in this World, he discovered that the World he was in was actually the incredibly dangerous Marvel Universe.
Although he was a skilled fighter in his previous life, it was not easy to train this body, which had been hollowed out by alcohol and women, back to its peak.
Moreover, even if his body recovered to its peak, he could not possibly stand against Thanos and his Universe fleet, which could destroy Planets.
To put it bluntly, even a more powerful Earth firearm could take his life.
Fortunately, he also awakened a golden finger, a mysterious virtual panel.
The virtual panel would give out some main and side quests. Completing main quests allowed for the extraction of Small Worlds for transmigration, while completing side quests provided various rewards.
For example, there were special ointments, sharp weapons, and even money, among a wide array of other things.
His first main quest, and currently his only main quest, was to make contact with Scarlet Witch Wanda, who worked at a convenience store and had just turned seventeen.
The main quest had three completion levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced.
The higher the completion level, the better the initial identity and talent provided when a new World was extracted.
The beginner completion level for the Scarlet Witch quest was to become good friends with Wanda, someone she could confide in. The intermediate level was to become boyfriend and girlfriend, and the advanced level was to get married and become husband and wife.
Originally, Li Chuan only wanted to become boyfriend and girlfriend, as marriage was not a game. But he never expected that after three years of being together, he would actually fall in love with Wanda.
There was no other way. Wanda was not like normal Western women; she was conservative in her thinking, gentle in nature, and especially serious about love.
Her ideal life was to become a housewife, then raise children and live a peaceful life with her husband. These aspects perfectly aligned with Li Chuan's criteria for a spouse.
In his previous life, he fought underground boxing matches abroad for money, precisely because he wanted to find such a wife and live a rich and stable life. So, in the end, he still couldn't escape the "true fragrance"law (law of true fragrance).
At night, after Wanda had fallen asleep from exhaustion, Li Chuan finally had time to open his virtual panel and check the day's information.
"Extracted World: Naruto World.
Due to the host's advanced mission completion level, you are granted Five-Element Chakra talent, Naruto World physique bonus, and a high-level identity: Prince of the Land of Fire (son of the Fire Daimyo's younger brother).
Time: Three months (Small World time can be acquired through side quests).
Main World time and Small World time are not synchronized; time will not change upon return.
Items cannot be exchanged between the Main World and Small World; please do not carry extra items."
"Indeed, the treatment for advanced completion is excellent!"
Seeing the description on the panel, Li Chuan's eyes lit up.
Although many years had passed, he no longer remembered the plot of the naruto anime that clearly. But he knew that Ninja with five elemental talents were extremely rare, even in the entire Ninja World.
Moreover, people in the Naruto World have 130 trillion cells, significantly more than people in a normal World, so their physique would naturally be enhanced.
As a Prince of the Land of Fire, he wouldn't have to worry about money or living expenses, and his initial safety level would be very high.
"Three months, that's a bit too short."
After finishing the main quest completion rewards, Li Chuan immediately scrolled to the side quest section, looking for any side quests that would increase his time.
After a while, he actually found one:
"1. Settle in New York City: Take Wanda to settle in New York. Reward: Six months of Small World time."
"New York, that's not a safe city. But staying in Sokovia doesn't seem safe either."
Although Li Chuan wasn't a die-hard Marvel fan, being abroad, he knew a bit about Marvel movies.
If he remembered correctly, the location of the first Avengers battle was New York, and there were also many messy things happening there.
But thinking about it carefully, Sokovia didn't seem much better. Not only was there a HYDRA Base hidden there, but in the future, the entire city almost disappeared.
Crucially, many of the side quests issued on the panel had New York as their mission location.
Although there were no penalties for not completing either main or side quests, only by completing more quests could he gain rewards and improve his strength to face this dangerous Marvel Universe.
In his previous life, he fought death matches for money, and he knew deeply that if he didn't train hard off-stage, he might be the one to die in the next match.
He quietly got out of bed from under the blanket, went to the balcony, closed the door, and called his subordinate.
"Jack, you can take your people to New York now. Our plan to expand into the New York market is starting early!"
Expanding his family business to New York was a plan he had before, and now it was just brought forward because of a side quest.
Li Chuan knew that in this Marvel World, no matter how rich you were, you couldn't deal with an enemy of Thanos's caliber. But if you didn't have money, even small-time thugs could come looking for trouble.
Since he was settling in New York, his company would definitely also open in New York, then develop and grow there, becoming a first-class capitalist.
This way, if shameless government agencies came looking for trouble, he would have enough means to deal with them.
After making the call, Li Chuan returned to the bedroom to continue resting. He needed to get enough sleep, as he would be going to the naruto Small World tomorrow.
Wanda and her brother Quicksilver had not yet joined the HYDRA organization's experiments, nor had their inner powers been stimulated by the Mind Stone, so their abilities were not particularly strong.
Wanda could cast some minor magic, but its destructive power was not great. Quicksilver ran faster than ordinary people, but his speed wasn't that exaggerated.
As for himself, over these three years, with the help of rewards from some side quests and his own daily diligent training, his strength had recovered to his previous life's level, but he was still vulnerable to powerful hot weapons.
So, if he were truly to settle in New York, it would be after he had learned Chakra refinement and some Ninjutsu in the Naruto World.
