Magic Journey from Hogwarts

Chapter 949: Challenge from the Mob? Favorable Treatment for Mercenaries

"Poor Skye." Aaron looked at her with pity, "This is the father you have been looking for. I hope your mother will not be like him."

"Can't you say something nice?" Skye glared at him speechlessly. "I've been looking for my mother for so many years, but there's no news about my mother. As for this father, he showed up on his own initiative."

"Maybe, I mean maybe!

Maybe your father knows where your mother is!

Even if he didn't know, he certainly knew whether she was dead or alive."

Skye paused for a moment, and said unnaturally: "We have to find him first."

Coulson switched the screen, and several people's portraits and their identity information appeared on the big screen.

"John Bruno, a military assassin obsessed with finding new ways to kill people." Coulson pointed to a burly black man on the screen and said, "He's one of the people on the list."

"You can tell at first glance that he is simple-minded and strong-limbed." Aaron said disdainfully, "Excuse me, may I ask if Mr. Bruno has any extraordinary abilities?"

"Uh...no."

"I can handle it." Mike said unconfidently, "I don't like violence, but for this kind of guy, it seems that violence is the only option."

"I'm glad you finally realized it." Coulson looked relieved. The beast in the skin of a mechanic finally became self-aware.

"John is much cuter than the second guy." Coulson zoomed in on the image of a man with his mouth sealed, "David A. Angell's vocal cords were subjected to an experimental energy shock wave, which cured the tumor but allowed his voice to trigger the central nervous system.

A whisper from him could cause a nervous breakdown, and if he yelled in a busy city, a hospital would be full in an instant."

"That sounds good." Aaron sneered, "But it seems that as long as his ears are blocked, his 'supernatural power' loses its effect."

"That's how we caught him."

"And this." Coulson looked at a man with glasses and a rooster comb. "Wendell Levy, a genius IQ, but no sense of morality and no respect for life."

"I prefer to deal with those with lower IQs." Mei complained, "These high-IQ ones are usually not easy to catch."

"Francis Noche, a gangster, wanted to improve his beating skills so he got some experimental steroids.

That made him very powerful, but not very smart.”

“And finally this one, Kara Fay Gideon, has blades permanently grafted onto her fingers.

She worked in a medical lab with her abusive boyfriend and she wanted to protect herself, but her boyfriend wasn’t the only one she killed.”

"So... Skye's father recruited such a bunch of rabble and wanted to start a war with your team?" Aaron smacked his lips and asked with a skeptical smile: "Are you sure he's not here to boost your performance?"

"That's not a funny joke." Coulson looked at Aaron, "Can you do me a favor?"

"Catch them?"

"If it's convenient for you, just think of it as helping Skye."

"Not interested." Aaron refused bluntly, "My time is precious, even my rest time.

It is not worth wasting your precious time on these trash who are not even extraordinary people.

Besides, I am speechless about the system of SHIELD. None of these people are innocent. If they were killed when they were caught, there wouldn't be so much trouble as it is now."

Coulson shrugged, "We have to respect human life."

Aaron scoffed at this, but did not refute it.

"If you can handle these messes, don't bother me."

Coulson smiled awkwardly but politely, "Just tell me! I want to borrow your compass.

The sooner we catch them, the less disaster they will cause.”

Aaron blinked and spoke clearly in a calm tone, "Get lost! You can't go further just because I confiscated your money this time!"

Colson: ...

"Okay! We'll take you back first."

"That's more like it." Aaron sat back on the sofa and silently opened the task panel.

[Investigate the origins of the Inhumans;

Completing the mission rewards 300 magic points; there is no penalty for mission failure; Completed]

"receive."

"Congratulations to the host for completing the system task and obtaining 300 magic points."

Hearing the pleasant prompt tone, Aaron nodded slightly.

The number is a little less, but it still requires him to sign in diligently for two and a half months.

Moreover, compared to his current magic points which were less than three digits, three hundred was already a very impressive number.

But what is more important is the information about the Inhumans. In the past, he did not take the Inhumans too seriously, thinking that they were no more than the mutants.

But now he has to be careful, because the Inhumans, who have developed for thousands of years, must have their own foundation.

Even if it doesn't exist, he has to treat it as if it does exist until he is really sure. After all, the reason why he can survive safely in this troubled universe is because of the word "caution".

......

Time quickly came to mid-July, and as the midnight bell rang, Aaron's inner world became lively again.

Yak, Naga, Ramon, Banner, Frank, Jane, Bucky and Aaron's psychic Slytherin all appeared on the top of the mountains and sat at the conference table.

"A lot has happened in the past three months. Is everyone okay?"

"Not bad, I feel healthy and everything I eat tastes delicious." Slytherin said with emotion, "This is the life that people should live. Compared with the fears I had before, it's really... hard to describe!"

Hey!

Aaron almost started cursing, and for the first time he felt like he deserved a beating.

Although this is true, is it appropriate for the clone to show off in front of the original person? Of course it is not appropriate.

Wait, I'll switch places with you someday.

"Besides this?" Aaron smiled and squinted his eyes. "How is the construction of Bohart Star going?"

“All cosmic civilizations have placed orders, but the output is limited. Most of the ingredients have been snatched away by advanced civilizations or powerful forces, and the rest of the forces can only drink some soup.

The food section alone has earned us at least ten times the profit. If there are more advanced ingredients for auction, the profit will definitely be more than a hundred times.

but..."

"But what?"

"But I also consumed some of it." Slytherin's voice was a little more embarrassed, "So it's hard to become bigger and stronger and create more glory in a short period of time."

"It's okay." Aaron nodded in agreement, showing his understanding.

After acquiring the ability to eat, the thought body completely evolved into a glutton, and one meal was equivalent to an ordinary person's food for a month.

However, thanks to the diligence and hard work of the thought body, a lot of energy has accumulated in his body. Although it is not magic power, it has greatly enhanced the endurance of his physical combat.

"What about the universal capsule? How is the production going?"

“The production speed of the universal capsule is relatively slow. Motorcycles are still okay, but airships, villas, and spaceships are not easy to produce.

However, scarcity makes things valuable, which in turn raises the value of the universal capsule. Some people even buy it at ten times the price on the black market."

"So we won't be short of money in the future?"

"Absolutely not. Bohart Star is now the largest money-making tree and treasure pot in the universe."

“Very good, now that the basics have been stabilized, it’s time to do something else.

You should know what to do!"

"of course."

"Isn't it... a fight over territory?" Banner asked tentatively with some trepidation.

"Dr. Banner, are you looking down on me?" Slytherin asked with a half-smile, "I am an honest businessman, why should I do something that is beneath my status?

And one day in the future, we will leave this universe. It will be a waste of time and energy to spend a lot of time and energy to grab territory if we can't take it with us when we leave.

More importantly, although I control the Bohart Star, I don't have any troops at my disposal. I can't rely on Yak and the others to start a war!"

"Uh... sorry." Banner smiled bitterly, "What do you want to do?"

“To purchase resources, the boss needs various rare resources.

Rare minerals, elemental crystals, precious plant and animal tissues, etc.

Aaron spread his hands and said, "Even if you make money, you can't keep it forever!

It just so happens that I am a potion master, and the materials in the universe may allow me to update the potion formula. The little blue bottle and the little red bottle in the game may be worth my consideration.

As for rare minerals... I still need to practice my alchemy to reach the next stage, but once I reach the next stage, I will be able to enchant bullets nine times.

The alchemical bullets with nine enchantments can injure the Sub-Father, but the materials that can carry the nine enchantments are very rare, so I need minerals like Uru Sacred Steel.

Any questions, Dr. Banner?"

"No, I was judging others by my own standards."

"Is there anything else to report?"

"There is indeed something more interesting." Slytherin snapped his fingers, and a video projection appeared above everyone, showing a green planet.

"This is Bohart. Not long ago, the Kree fleet tried to occupy this planet, but we repelled them."

As soon as he finished speaking, the dark space in the video suddenly cracked, and three huge Kree warships flew out from the cracked space.

"Is this space jumping technology?" Banner asked in surprise.

"Yes, the technology on Earth is still far behind that of advanced civilizations."

"Isn't this too disrespectful?" Aaron sneered.

"This is just a test from Kree Star. If they really wanted to attack, they wouldn't just send a few warships."

In the video, the three fleets appeared for less than a minute, and all their guns were aimed at the green planet below.

Countless energy bombs fell like a rainstorm, but they were all blocked by a faint blue barrier outside the Bohart star.

This defense did not make the Cree give up their attack. Instead, it aroused their anger and they vented their artillery fire even more fiercely.

If you stand on the surface of the planet Bohart and look up, you can see gorgeous light golden fireworks blooming in the atmosphere, creating layer after layer of shock waves, and the smell of gunpowder is particularly strong.

The five-minute artillery coverage did not have much effect. Although the protective shield was a layer shallower than before, it was still strong.

At this time, the Kree warship retracted all its gun muzzles and opened some special muzzles. However, these muzzles did not release energy bombs, but instead dropped dozens of missiles.

boom! boom! boom!

After a round of heavy bombardment, the barrier reached its defense limit and shattered and dissipated into the void of the universe.

"This is too perfunctory!" Aaron said unhappily, "The barrier of Bohart can't even defend against missiles?"

“The protective net covers the entire planet and requires a huge amount of energy to maintain.

Fortunately, the size of the Bohart star is not large, otherwise this barrier might not be able to hold up.

In addition, this time we are just testing the upper limit of the protective shield. After all, the purpose of setting up this barrier is just to warn the armed forces on the Bohart star and tell them that the enemy is coming."

Without the protective shield, the three Kree warships did not rush to attack, but slowly descended.

After all, their goal is to occupy this planet, including the fantastic ingredients on this planet, the universal capsule production base, and the talents of various races recruited from all over the universe. A rash attack will damage the future property of the Kree Empire.

At this moment, more than ten warships of different styles flew over the planet and surrounded the three warships of the Kree Empire.

The next moment, endless firepower burst out like a flood, and the various colored shells fired by these warships instantly engulfed the three Kree warships.

Even though their protective shields were deployed in time, they were unable to even fight back in the face of such terrifying firepower and could only hastily flee back to the space jump point.

Even so, one battleship was severely damaged and almost one-third of its flank was destroyed.

"There is no doubt that the Kree Empire's attempt failed." Slytherin said with some regret, "I was planning to use them to test the power of demon hunting, but in the end I didn't even get a single head.

But it can be regarded as killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. With the Kree Empire taking the lead, the planet Bohart will be safe for quite some time in the future."

"What were those just now?" Buggy looked at the dozen or so giant warships on the screen in disbelief, his expression extremely wonderful.

The planet Bohart actually has such a large armed force. Where on earth did the Kree Empire get the courage to invade?

"Space Plunderers." Slytherin explained with a chuckle, "You can think of them as mercenaries in the universe. We will select plunderers with sufficient credibility, strength and uprightness from various plunderer factions and hire them to guard the Bohart Star.

They are paid per capita, with one million cosmic coins per person per year. If they die in battle, they will receive a pension of three million. They are also allowed to live freely on the star Bohart as long as they abide by the rules.

With these conditions, the predators, who have no fixed foothold in the universe and whose living standards are unstable, are almost crazy with joy, and will naturally work hard to protect this planet. "

"Are these conditions too generous?" Banner asked Aaron in confusion.

Aaron has explained before the exaggerated purchasing power of Cosmic Coin. With one million a year, a predator can enjoy retirement life in advance with just one year's salary.

"I can't help it, I have money!" Aaron said proudly, "The currency of this universe will be worth less than waste paper when it returns to my world. The sooner I spend it, the better it will be for me.

Moreover, the cost of building an army is much higher than hiring looters, which is a completely stupid waste for me who will leave this universe sooner or later."

Banner: ...

It makes so much sense, I'm speechless.
