Chapter 71

Wakanda.

After a few days of interaction, Bai Xiaofei and the old king T'Chaka became close friends despite their age difference, and with his son, the future Black Panther T'Challa, he became an intimate friend with whom he could share everything.

Although this Marvel universe is based on the movie's timeline, some character and setting details have not changed much.

For example, Iron Man, the Hulk, the old king, and his son. For Bai Xiaofei, who deeply understood their personalities, it was not difficult to approach them and become their friends.

Understanding the target's background to benefit oneself is the most basic common sense for a穿越者 (穿越者 means "穿越者" in Chinese, which can be translated as "穿越者" in English, but in this context, it means "time traveler" or "穿越者").

Clearly, Bai Xiaofei did his homework very well!

Especially when Bai Xiaofei generously contributed alien medical spray and the formula for the magical elixir, which significantly improved Wakanda's medical standards, the old king and T'Challa trusted him without any doubt. So when Bai Xiaofei proposed that he wanted to consume the Heart-Shaped Herb, the old king T'Chaka hesitated for a moment but then agreed to Bai Xiaofei's request.

In the old king's mind, since he had chosen to cooperate with Bai Xiaofei and the other party had shown sufficient sincerity and trust, he could not be too stingy.

If he could sell Vibranium, a Heart-Shaped Herb was no big deal!

Although this was somewhat against the rules, for Wakanda's future, the old king was willing to take the risk!

Bai Xiaofei's mysterious nature and the incredible powers he displayed, as well as his high-tech items, made the old king see great potential and benefits. The old king believed that this was definitely not Bai Xiaofei's limit, and he must have even more amazing and outstanding high-tech items. For example, Bai Xiaofei's spatial storage technology was incredibly mind-boggling!

Although Vibranium was extremely rare, compared to Bai Xiaofei's endless stream of magical items, it was practically garbage!

To gain the opportunity and qualifications for further cooperation with Bai Xiaofei, the old king believed he must show more value and trust. Otherwise, the medical spray and magical elixir would be the end of their cooperation.

The old king was originally worried about how to demonstrate his value, but when he heard that Bai Xiaofei wanted the Heart-Shaped Herb, he almost laughed out loud.

It was like someone was sending a pillow when he was feeling sleepy!

Thus...

To show more value and his importance and trust in Bai Xiaofei, the old king pretended to hesitate for a moment and then put on a very difficult expression, saying, "Bai, the Heart-Shaped Herb has traditionally only been consumed by the kings and guardians of Wakanda. However, for the sake of our friendship and cooperation, I am willing to make an exception. I hope that in the future, you will consider us Wakanda first for any new projects!"

"Of course!"

Bai Xiaofei, who had successfully carried out his plan, naturally agreed without hesitation.

On one hand, it was a response to the old king's goodwill, and on the other, Bai Xiaofei had also decided to establish his own support base in Wakanda.

After all, this was the Marvel universe, a world where monsters roamed and criminals were as numerous as dogs, a dangerous place even if it wasn't the comic version. The likes of HYDRA, the Extremis virus, the Abomination, Loki, the Chitauri, and Thanos were all formidable foes. To make a name for himself here, he needed a support team; relying solely on his own strength would be foolish!

Originally, Tony Stark was Bai Xiaofei's first choice, and he had even risked his life to gain Tony's trust and friendship. However, the appearance of S.H.I.E.L.D. made Bai Xiaofei realize that Tony's identity was too sensitive, and his frequent presence around Tony would attract too much attention, making it difficult to act freely.

Then, Bai Xiaofei thought of Wakanda.

Not only did it have the world's largest Vibranium ore, but its technological power was also very strong. Moreover, Wakanda's wealth and the Heart-Shaped Herb were not to be underestimated.

If he planned well, he could build his own support base here. With his ability to traverse endless dimensions, using Wakanda as a base, he could gradually expand and eventually devour the Marvel world, turning it into his colony!

Therefore, to achieve his ambitions, Bai Xiaofei came to Wakanda.

So far, his plan had been very smooth. He had obtained enough Vibranium, became a partner and friend of the old king and the next king, and even obtained the Heart-Shaped Herb, which only the king and the Black Panther could consume, laying a solid foundation for his future goals and plans.

...

The Vibranium armor designed by Bai Xiaofei was being forged by a special department in Wakanda according to his requirements.

After receiving the Heart-Shaped Herb from the old king, Bai Xiaofei exchanged some pleasantries and then chose a secret room, ordered no one to disturb him, and locked himself in, claiming he was in seclusion.

Then, Bai Xiaofei took out the spatial positioning card from his dimensional space.

"Beep!"

"A spatial positioning card has been detected. Do you want to use it?"

"Use it!"

"Beep!"

"Congratulations, host! You have successfully located the coordinates of the Marvel world, specifically the ninth level of the Wakanda Palace's secret room. With this coordinate, you can spend 50,000 energy points to travel at any time!"

"Hmm? 50,000? Not 100,000 energy points?"

Bai Xiaofei was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Traverser, I think you should give me an explanation!"

The Traverser replied, "50,000 to come in, 50,000 to go back, totaling 100,000 energy points. Is there anything wrong with that? Don't you think you need to spend energy points to return after completing your mission?"

"..."

Bai Xiaofei opened his mouth but had no words to say.

After a moment, Bai Xiaofei decided not to argue with the cold Traverser, as it was pointless. Instead, he took out the Heart-Shaped Herb and prepared to consume it to enhance his strength.

The Heart-Shaped Herb looked very ordinary, just a heart-shaped green leaf.

If it weren't for Bai Xiaofei's powerful mental strength, which could faintly sense the powerful energy within the ordinary leaf, he would have doubted whether the old king was fooling him.

Bai Xiaofei put the Heart-Shaped Herb in his mouth and immediately felt an indescribable bitterness fill his mouth.

Then, he felt the Heart-Shaped Herb turn into a cool liquid that flowed down his throat into his body. Soon, his body began to heat up, and his limbs and bones started to itch, as if millions of ants were crawling inside him, causing intense itching that made Bai Xiaofei want to scratch his body!

"Endure, I must endure!"

Bai Xiaofei quickly sat cross-legged, cleared his mind, and calmed his breath, forcing himself to endure the intense itching.

When the old king gave him the Heart-Shaped Herb, he had warned him, "When you consume it, your body and bones will be transformed, causing unbearable pain and itching. No matter what, you must endure and not scratch, or you will scratch yourself to death!"

Fortunately, Bai Xiaofei's mental strength was very powerful, ten times that of an ordinary person. The old king and his son, the future Black Panther, could withstand the effects of the Heart-Shaped Herb, so Bai Xiaofei could too.

...

More than two hours later.

As the deep, bone-penetrating itching gradually subsided, Bai Xiaofei knew that the Heart-Shaped Herb had successfully integrated.

He took a deep breath, feeling the strength overflowing from his limbs and bones, and thought that the two hours of pain were worth it. Then, he opened the Traverser's attribute enhancement interface to see how much he had improved.

Bai Xiaofei's current physical attributes were as follows:

Host: Bai Xiaofei.

Physical Attributes:

Intelligence: 47.

Spirit: 122.

Strength: 71.

Stamina: 71.

Agility: 77.

Mastery of skills, ... (To save space, the list of skills is omitted. New skills will be mentioned when they appear!)

Bai Xiaofei's eyes lit up, and he thought, "Intelligence and Spirit each increased by 20 points, Strength and Stamina each increased by 44 points, and Agility increased by 39 points. My overall strength has increased by nearly 3.5 times. Not bad!"

It was rumored that the Heart-Shaped Herb could grant humans superhuman speed, agility, strength, endurance, healing speed, and enhanced vision, smell, and hearing.

For an ordinary person, the effects would be very noticeable.

But Bai Xiaofei's foundation was too high, with his physical attributes almost reaching the limits of a human, especially his mental strength, which was more than ten times that of an ordinary person.

The higher the physical attributes, the higher the limits and resistance in various aspects. The main power of the Heart-Shaped Herb was used to break Bai Xiaofei's physical limits, especially his mental strength, which alone consumed nearly a third of the Heart-Shaped Herb's power.

In the end, only about a third of the Heart-Shaped Herb's power was used to enhance Bai Xiaofei's physical attributes!

Bai Xiaofei was quite open-minded about this result. Although the effects of the Heart-Shaped Herb were not as good as expected, they were still decent. At least, it saved him several thousand energy points, and he was very satisfied.

Moreover, with the breaking of his physical limits, Bai Xiaofei's physical strength had advanced from the peak of Mingjing to the higher level of Anjing. If he could quickly master the skills and cultivation methods of Anjing that A Li had taught him, his strength would make a significant leap!

A single herb had brought him such great benefits, and Bai Xiaofei felt he had made a huge profit!

...

After familiarizing himself with his new strength, Bai Xiaofei closed the attribute interface and took out the high-end smartphone that JARVIS had made for him. He opened his personal email and found that Tony had sent him nearly 80 emails.

Bai Xiaofei opened the emails and began to check them one by one. Out of the 80 emails, nearly 60 were complaints and rants from Tony.

Only about 10 emails were related to the Mark II armor.

"Mark II succeeded?!"

When Bai Xiaofei saw the latest email Tony had sent him, he was greatly surprised and said in disbelief, "How could it be so fast? According to the movie's timeline, the creation of the Mark II should take several months, but it's only been a few days. Tony, are you that incredible? Or... is this the damned butterfly effect again?"

"The Vibranium armor is being rushed, but even with accelerated production, it will take at least three days..."

Bai Xiaofei stroked his chin, deep in thought, and said, "Regardless of the reason, Tony's Mark II has been completed ahead of schedule. According to the original movie plot, it should be scrapped due to freezing issues, and then the Mark III will be created with a gold-titanium alloy shell. Once the Mark III is completed, it won't be long before Tony's battle with the Ten Rings and the final showdown with Obadiah Stane's Iron Monger!"

"The movie plot seems to have been advanced significantly. It looks like... I need to speed up my progress, or the variables will be too great, which will be very detrimental to my future plans!"

"However, before that, I should contact Tony and get a better understanding of the situation!"
