“I always feel like you're thinking something offensive.”
Gu Yi looked at the pensive expression on Shimizu's face and pointed at him.
“Of course not.”
“I don't believe you. It's definitely only 'of course,' and no 'not'.”
Gu Yi said definitively.
He must be thinking about holding some Supreme Mage Seventh-Day Memorial Karaoke Competition, right?
Damn it, why is this guy always thinking about doing this?
If Shimizu couldn't answer with a clear explanation, then he…
Then he couldn't do anything about it.
Gu Yi got angry, and was angry for a bit.
After all, his current physical condition wasn't ideal. Although he could still eat, run, and jump like a normal person, he could no longer withstand too much energy erosion.
Given that Shimizu was indeed quite strong and also had an Infinity Stone, unless he risked his life and used all his strength, it seemed he really couldn't beat him.
Shimizu casually made up a story:
“I was thinking, old man, if you can't hold on, and the new Supreme Mage hasn't appeared yet, what if a new dimensional demon invades? You died after the last one, what if a second one comes?”
“You're not dead, you can just go up and fight. I'll sit here and cheer you on,”
Gu Yi said as he devoured a braised prawn.
He would soon die and accompany the Eternal God, so he had to eat more good food before he died.
“Knows magic, has an Infinity Stone, and his strength is passable, so it's not like he can't…”
“Not like he can't become the Supreme Mage?”
Shimizu's eyes lit up.
“...be a temporary worker.”
Gu Yi said with a sly smile.
Shimizu: (￢_￢)凸
A look of contempt + a middle finger.
“Ahem, of course, it's not like there's no way to become permanent. After all, I see that the problem with the foreign will on your body has been resolved, but…”
“But what?”
“You have to agree to a few small conditions.”
Shimizu frowned.
“You don't have some kind of trap waiting for me, do you?”
“Is the trust between us so fragile?”
Shimizu stroked his chin again and nodded.
“Aha, you really were thinking something that let me down.”
“You old codger, you think too highly of yourself.”
Shimizu said, looking at Gu Yi's old face.
Who would make a mistake with your face!
“There's no trap, you really have a chance now.”
“Master Gu Yi, you are indeed the most handsome, most intelligent, and most insightful Supreme Mage in history, possessing a noble and admirable spirit of selflessness, tirelessly guarding the Earth for hundreds of years, even at the last moment of your life, you…”
“You what? Keep going?”
Gu Yi had one foot on the chair, gnawing on a chicken leg, with grease all over his mouth.
“...also don't waste food…”
“Huh?”
“...and don't forget to fill your stomach, paving the way for future generations with the fullest and most昂扬姿态…”
“Keep going, why did you stop?”
Gu Yi, who was feeling great after being flattered, spat out the chicken bone in his mouth and said to Shimizu.
“I understand.”
“You understand what again?”
“So that's the trap? Deliberately deceiving me into flattering you, and after I'm done, you won't fulfill any promises. Hmm… that's indeed something someone as unscrupulous as you would do.”
Gu Yi: (￢_￢)凸
“It's rare for me to be serious for once, but you judge a gentleman's heart with a petty person's mind.”
“Ah? Are you really serious?”
“You have to agree to a few conditions first. If you can't do it, then the position of Supreme Mage will definitely have nothing to do with you.”
“Ahem, esteemed Master Gu Yi, please speak.”
“First, every year you have to burn a set of the latest generation of high-end computers and the latest PS game consoles in front of my grave, with the top 100 single-player games, movies, anime, and novels from the previous year's comprehensive charts downloaded.”
“So you can really play games after you die.”
“Why not? It's just a pity that I can't connect to the internet.”
“Then is this even considered death?”
“Just tell me if you want to be the Supreme Mage or not. If you don't, then forget it. Anyway, you'll have to be a beast of burden for hundreds of years, worrying about everything.”
Shimizu waved his hand and said:
“Then go ahead and tell me what the remaining conditions are.”
“Hmm…”
Gu Yi suddenly straightened up and became very serious.
If you didn't look at the grease on his messy white beard.
“The following condition is a condition that you must abide by and must fulfill as the Supreme Mage. If you can't do it, I will absolutely, absolutely not agree to let you be the Supreme Mage.”
Seeing Gu Yi's attitude, Shimizu also sat up straight.
“Please speak.”
“That is, you must promise me that after becoming the Supreme Mage, you must not, under any circumstances, hold a Supreme Mage Seventh-Day Memorial Karaoke Competition on the day of my seventh-day memorial.”
Ah?
So this old man knows I want to hold a seventh-day memorial competition!
That's right, with the Time Stone, if he had looked at the timeline of himself becoming the Supreme Mage in the future, he would definitely know about this.
“Okay, I promise!”
Shimizu said readily.
It's just a matter of changing the name of the seventh-day memorial competition!
Well, I just don't know what to call it…
“You can't change the name either. In short, on that day, you can't hold any similar activities!”
Hiss…
It's not impossible to agree.
It's fine as long as it's not held on the seventh-day memorial.
I might as well change it to the Supreme Mage Death Anniversary Karaoke Competition, or call it the Memorial Cup or something. The first session will be held on the day Gu Yi croaks!
“And also, the Wi-Fi password of Kamar-Taj cannot be changed to HHHHGYSL, absolutely, absolutely not! I want to invite the Vishanti to witness us. Whoever violates it will have to flick the other's little GG a thousand times.”
That's even simpler!
“Okay, I promise too!”
The password cannot be changed to HHHHGYSL, so change it to HHHHHGYSL.
One more H!
No one stipulates that the Wi-Fi password can only have eight digits, that's just the lower limit requirement.
He, Clea Water, has a plan!
Seeing Shimizu agree so readily, a look of suspicion suddenly rose on Gu Yi's face.
Could this kid be tricking me?
Does he have a backup plan?
But the Vishanti have been invited to witness, so there should be no way to violate it…
It's a pity that he can't use the Time Stone right now, so he doesn't know what kind of scheme this bad kid Shimizu is plotting.
“How about you think about it again?”
Gu Yi said to Shimizu with a hesitant look.
“Hey, hey, hey, what is there to think about? Let's cast a spell and have the Vishanti witness it…”
“Well, no rush, no rush. Let’s talk about this tomorrow. First, let’s talk about Strange. Even if he doesn’t become the Sorcerer Supreme, with his talent for magic, he will be a huge help to you in the future. When that time comes, you can be like me and be a hands-off shopkeeper. If there are troubles they can’t solve, you can just step in with the Infinity Stones.”
“Eh?!”
Shimizu raised another finger.
He had another idea.
“Then, as long as Strange can’t become a mage, wouldn’t there be no one to compete with me for the position of Sorcerer Supreme?”
Gu Yi held her head, looking at Shimizu like he was a simpleton.
Could he really be a genius?
“Strange, he… although he’s a little arrogant, it’s not a capital offense, right? He is one of the most outstanding doctors in the world, saving many lives, and he has merit. If you want to kill him, wouldn’t that violate the principles of being the Sorcerer Supreme…”
“Who said I wanted to kill him? Wouldn’t it be fine just to not lead him in the direction of magic?”
Does this old man see me as such a cruel person?
However, if necessary, he could indeed be ruthless. As for now, as long as Strange doesn’t get in the way, he doesn’t need to bother him.
Every qualified ninja is not a good person. Without exception, they are all executioners with blood on their hands, and many are crazy and insane, but that doesn’t mean all ninjas are like that.
At least Shimizu's values are relatively normal, just like other ninjas, his bottom line is slightly lower.
Well, looking at Gu Yi's appearance, the requirements for character and bottom line to be the Sorcerer Supreme shouldn't be that high. After all, flexibility is required, and too high of a bottom line for character and morality can easily lead to extremes, like Mordo.
Of course, the bottom line cannot be too low or non-existent, otherwise Earth and humanity would be finished.
Gu Yi shook her head again and said:
“That’s not a good idea either. Strange's magical talent has already reached an extremely rare level. He is destined to attract magic from birth. As long as there is a slight opportunity, he can achieve great talent in magic, so if he encounters some dark magic and goes astray, it will cause big trouble in the future.”
Shimizu muttered:
“So, it’s best to just kill him after all?”
“You are supposed to be the Sorcerer Supreme, not a bandit, a villain, hey!”
“Hey, it’s okay, don’t forget my identity. Tomorrow, I will acquire the hospital where he works, so he will be my employee, and then I will specially recruit him into . and arrange for professional agents to guide him.”
Shimizu waved his hand indifferently and said, then said:
“Come on, old man, let’s continue talking about the pre-Vishanti contract…”
Gu Yi hesitated for a moment, staring at Shimizu and said:
“This… alright, but I want to add some supplementary clauses!”
… …
… …
A week later.
Early morning, new . headquarters.
Shimizu sat on the swivel office chair with his legs crossed, eating a donut.
“The special operations force has been rebuilt and is now led by Steve Rogers.”
The cold voice broke the crunching sound of Shimizu eating donuts.
Maria Hill held a paper document in one hand, reporting in front of Shimizu.
A pair of black tactical boots matched with long legs, and a black slim-fitting special agent uniform that fits the body curve, together outline the tall and slender graceful figure of the iceberg beauty like a bamboo.
It's very pleasing to the eye.
Not to mention that Maria Hill is excellent in all aspects of her abilities. She is a first-class agent and management talent. She can arrange everything for Shimizu in an orderly manner. She is simply the best candidate for a secretary.
It's a pity that she is too deeply involved with Nick Fury. No matter how useful she is, Shimizu dare not fully delegate power to this woman.
Otherwise, I really want to operate it to my own company.
“Sharon Carter has already started to make contact with Stephen Strange. Currently, she is a colleague of his ex-girlfriend, Clea. The plan has officially begun, reported by Level 8 Agent Romanoff.”
Regarding Strange, Shimizu handed this matter over to the Black Widow, asking her to find a way to set up a situation and trick… recruit this top surgeon into ..
As an all-around super agent, this kind of thing should not be difficult for the Black Widow.
As long as he enters the bureau and becomes a member of ., subsequent matters will be much more convenient.
The report continued.
“New Level 5 Agent Daisy Johnson has brought back Item 84, the Obelisk. It has now been sealed in the Science Department and is led by Dr. Banner for research. It is recommended that this news be designated as Level 8 access.”
“Level 8 Agent Coulson has now contacted Dr. Hank Pym. The other party refused to cooperate, but his team has successfully infiltrated Klaus Technologies and is expected to successfully steal the technology of Pym Particle shrinking technology.”
… …
After Shimizu finished eating the donut, he supported his chin with one hand and approved the reports made by Hill.
Most things can be arranged properly with Hill and other . high-level executives, but he still has to personally give instructions for some more important events.
He is very busy, but he doesn't want to be bound by the position of Director of . and squeeze too much of his own time, so he can only do this.
But fortunately, Hill, the tool person, is really good-looking and easy to use.
And with the existence of Weet Oos, almost no information within . can be hidden from him, so there is no need to worry about being emptied by Nick Fury.
The latter is now leading Shadow . in Europe to track down another Hydra leader, Baron Strucker, and is making rapid progress.
It is expected that the headquarters will soon mobilize agents and dispatch the Avengers to destroy this Hydra branch.
Although the black egg is annoying at times, there is no doubt about his abilities. Perhaps this is why Alexander Pierce, as an opponent, admired Nick Fury.
After finishing official business, Shimizu raised his head and said to Hill:
“By the way, where is the thing I asked you to bring?”
“It’s here.”
Hill took out a USB flash drive from the close-fitting pocket of her uniform.
This USB flash drive contains a video Howard Stark filmed for Tony Stark before his death.
The secret of the palladium element isotope is hidden in it.
Shimizu also wanted to try to see if he could create a second-generation Ark Reactor.
Back to the Water Estate.
Laboratory.
The USB flash drive was inserted into the interface, and a holographic projection immediately projected a plane, revealing Howard Stark's face.
“Tony, you are too young now to understand these things, so I recorded it as a video for you. One day, you will find that this represents everything…”
“This is the key to the future. I am limited by the technological limitations of my era, but one day, you will solve it. By then, you will change everything for mankind…”
