*Burp~*
"I'm clearly not drinking soda, yet I'm still burping. This isn't scientific at all."
After Xia Yu finished the strengthening potion in one gulp, he felt his physical constitution improve once again. As resident evil Xia Yu had said, the strengthening potion is most effective the first time you drink it.
Although subsequent improvements were negligible, an improvement is an improvement. Besides, this stuff isn't expensive and has no side effects.
AI Xia Yu and resident evil Xia Yu joined forces to forcefully mass-produce this strengthening potion. Now, the two of them are planning to create a potion to strengthen the mind, aiming to elevate The Xia Yus' mental power once more.
Since they had both become rulers in their respective worlds, they had to find something to do in their spare time. Slacking off wasn't in their nature; after all, one was a researcher and the other was a future AI.
Marvel Xia Yu was currently on a plane to Africa. He knew very little about Wakanda, only that it was an isolationist technological powerhouse whose technology was years ahead of the outside world, possessed vibranium veins, and was roughly located in Africa.
Although he had seen marvel movies and comics before, his knowledge of Wakanda came entirely from the Avengers movies. He hadn't seen Black Panther's solo films, neither of the two.
However, he wasn't worried about encountering any danger. After all, Wakanda's performance in Avengers: Infinity War was truly underwhelming.
Engaging in melee combat with vibranium spears that can fire lasers—that tactic was simply brain-dead. They didn't even have long-range weapons or large-scale missiles, making it impossible to feel any sense of vigilance toward them.
With the artificial intelligence little red and soul slavery, Xia Yu felt his success in this operation was practically guaranteed. In any case, almost no one in the current world knew the true face of Wakanda.
Xia Yu carelessly set a flag for himself. If he couldn't control Wakanda like this, and somehow got counter-killed instead, he! Would! Eat! This! Plane! On! The! Spot!
The tedious journey passed quietly as time flowed by. Before long, Xia Yu stepped onto African soil alone.
He didn't need to find local transportation. With his current physique, he could run faster than an average car. Combined with the boost from his telekinesis, he was practically flying at low altitude.
However, with the flight device AI Xia Yu had sent him, he wasn't stupid enough to run. With little red constantly connected to the satellites in the sky, he wasn't afraid of getting lost or being photographed.
In less than half a day, Xia Yu arrived at the border of Wakanda.
Hidden by an optical projection from a stealth shield, Wakanda appeared to the outside world as a small, ordinary agricultural nation.
Of course, this bit of camouflage couldn't hide from Xia Yu's perception. His mental power had already sensed the living people within Wakanda. No matter how strong the technology, it was useless against invisible and intangible mental perception.
"little red, it's up to you."
"Understood, Master."
little red in the phone had changed into a distinctive Matrix-style outfit: a black trench coat and black sunglasses, and even her hair had become long, straight, and black.
Although Wakanda had its own internal network, little red still used special means to forcibly infiltrate it.
No matter how isolationist they were, it was impossible to truly ignore everything happening in the outside world. And to understand the outside world, they naturally had to interact with external networks.
Despite Wakanda's powerful technology, for some reason, they hadn't developed their own artificial intelligence. Thus, little red—an enhanced AI—though not as good as AI Xia Yu, could still enter as if into an uninhabited territory.
As the internal firewalls were cracked layer by layer, little red soon left her mark on Wakanda's network. If not for the need to remain hidden, she could have infiltrated even faster.
In a few moments, the infiltration was complete.
"Reporting to Master, little red has perfectly completed the mission!"
A serious-looking little red gave a military salute. If she didn't have the appearance of a 2D little loli, she would actually look quite dashing.
"Good. Loop the surveillance footage; don't let my figure be recorded. Once I'm out of range, restore the live feed."
"little red understands!"
After giving the order, Xia Yu walked toward the energy shield. At that moment, a gap opened in the shield, just large enough for one person to pass through.
Of course, to avoid causing a commotion, Xia Yu did his best to prevent any Wakandans from spotting him.
With his mental perception, he could perfectly avoid every Wakandan. If he truly couldn't avoid someone, he would use his mental abilities to forcibly change their thoughts, making them unknowingly move away from their original path.
Wakanda, the capital—Birnin Zana!
The technological state made Xia Yu feel as if he had arrived in a future world—not a post-apocalyptic one, but a futuristic world of science and technology.
Tsk tsk, this is truly spectacular."
Lurking in the shadows, Xia Yu observed Wakanda's capital. Through little red's search, he had already identified the high-ranking members of the Royal Family.
As long as he controlled the Royal Family, he could practically take over the country without shedding a drop of blood.
At this time, T'Chaka was still in power in Wakanda. Although he had experienced coups and rebellions, T'Chaka had suppressed the uprisings with his strength and continued his rule.
In the Royal Council Chamber, King T'Chaka was currently handling official business, though his furrowed brows revealed his lack of peace.
vibranium had brought countless benefits to their country, but it also brought greed hidden in the shadows. Those who learned of the vibranium veins used dirty methods to seek their country's vibranium resources.
T'Chaka knew who the mastermind was: Ulysses Klaue, a physicist specializing in acoustics who wanted to seize vibranium resources after discovering its properties.
The man had originally wanted to acquire vibranium through trade, but Wakanda had refused. Consequently, he had become enraged and prepared to obtain vibranium resources through smuggling and mercenaries.
T'Chaka was troubled by this matter. He was never soft-hearted toward enemies, but greedy jackals were not so easily dealt with.
The Black Panther did not fear jackals, but he would grow weary of their never-ending harassment.
Last time, Ulysses Klaue had teamed up with N'Jobu—T'Chaka's own brother—to stage a rebellion in Wakanda, but it was ultimately suppressed by him.
However, during the fight, he had accidentally killed his brother N'Jobu, while the mastermind, Ulysses Klaue, had escaped. This failure hadn't made Ulysses Klaue give up; instead, it made his actions even more secretive and cunning.
T'Chaka was vexed by this. These jackals weren't strong, but they were disgusting; they would always sneak a bite when you least expected it and run away immediately—a true definition of disgusting and troublesome.
"King of Wakanda, it seems you have something on your mind."
"Who's there!"
T'Chaka suddenly looked up and stared toward the door. There should have been guards outside, but now there wasn't the slightest sound, and he hadn't heard any fighting just now.
Thinking of this, T'Chaka's heart gradually sank. He narrowed his eyes at the door, his right hand slowly reaching for the necklace on his chest.
His entire being was like a Black Panther ready to pounce. As soon as the enemy showed themselves, he would don the black panther suit and extend his claws to tear the enemy's throat apart.
*Tap, tap, tap...*
