Chapter 168: Chapter 167
The 10 minutes passed quickly. The system's prompt sounded again:
"Beginning teleportation countdown: 10, 9, 8... 3, 2, 1!"
When the countdown ended, everyone in the white room was enveloped in a red light and disappeared.
...
Enveloped in the red light, a virtual interface appeared in front of Chen Ye. The interface showed a young Chinese man who bore a slight resemblance to Chen Ye.
"Reincarnator 'Asura,' this is your default appearance in this world. If you are not satisfied, please modify it now!"
Hearing the system's prompt, Chen Ye glanced at the default appearance the system had created for him. Finding it satisfactory, he chose to confirm.
The system prompted again:
"Please choose your name..."
"Note: The default identity is civilian and cannot be changed!"
Chen Ye quickly entered the name "Ronan Anderson."
Yes, he intended to use this name consistently!
"Identity confirmed. Preparing to teleport to the instance world..."
The next moment, the red light faded, and Chen Ye found himself on a street in New York City.
It seemed to be early morning, probably around five or six o'clock, as there were not many people on the street, giving it a deserted feel.
"Attention: You have five hours of preparation time. In five hours, the Chitauri will begin their invasion..."
Hearing the system's prompt, Chen Ye smiled slightly.
Suddenly, a hand clapped onto Chen Ye's shoulder.
"Hey buddy, we need to have a little chat."
Two young black men hooked their arms around Chen Ye's shoulders, half-dragging him into a nearby alley.
At the same time, a sharp knife pressed against Chen Ye's side.
"Buddy, if you make a sound, you'll get a new hole in your body!"
Chen Ye smiled faintly and cooperatively walked into the alley with them.
This setup clearly indicated a mugging.
Chen Ye had heard that Chinese people often got mugged in the US, but he hadn't expected it to happen to him so soon.
The two black men, seeing he was Chinese, dared to rob him in broad daylight.
However, it was still unclear who was robbing whom...
...
Less than a minute later, Chen Ye emerged from the alley unharmed.
He glanced back at the two unconscious black men lying on the ground and sneered, "Pathetic!"
From these two black men, Chen Ye "obtained" a total of 27 US dollars!
It wasn't much, but it was enough for a taxi.
Hailing a cab, Chen Ye got in and spoke in fluent English, "Take me to Stark Tower!"
"Sure, sir!"
Twenty minutes later, Chen Ye got out of the cab and looked up at the towering building, feeling slightly impressed.
Tony Stark was indeed wealthy!!
Chen Ye had come to Stark Tower for Tony's Iron Man suits.
The first step of his plan was to acquire a suit, and then proceed with the subsequent steps.
Entering the tower, the first floor was the reception hall, accessible to the public.
However, taking the elevator upstairs required identity verification.
And Tony's Iron Man suits were on the rooftop...
Given the importance of the suits, the building's security level was extremely high.
Chen Ye even saw that the security guards were armed!
The checks were strict.
Without an internal employee card, one couldn't access any areas beyond the reception hall.
After confirming he couldn't sneak in, Chen Ye left the building.
He didn't go far, instead sitting in a nearby café, ordering a hot drink and some breakfast while he waited.
The cab ride had only cost six dollars, leaving enough for a hearty breakfast.
Chen Ye didn't try disguising himself as an employee to go upstairs.
This wasn't a movie!
The security guards weren't idiots!
If anyone could sneak in with a random employee card, Tony's Iron Man suits would have been all over the world by now.
Moreover, the building had a powerful AI: JARVIS!
Sneaking in was nearly impossible.
Therefore, Chen Ye's plan was simple: break in.
But not just yet.
Since the Avengers hadn't started fighting the Chitauri, breaking in now could attract the Avengers.
He didn't fear any of them in a one-on-one fight.
However, taking on the entire Avengers team alone?
Chen Ye wasn't that arrogant.
Actually, besides breaking in, there was another potential plan.
Waiting for Loki to arrive.
In the original plot, Loki set up a teleportation device on Stark Tower's rooftop, opening the portal for the Chitauri army to invade.
Chen Ye suspected Loki might teleport directly to the rooftop using the Space Stone.
If he broke in, JARVIS would surely report it to Tony.
...
Time passed, and four hours later, it was now mid-morning.
The streets were bustling with people.
Chen Ye stretched as he exited the café.
Suddenly, he sensed something and looked up at Stark Tower's rooftop.
There, a blue light flashed, creating a portal from which Loki and his minions emerged!
Seeing this, Chen Ye slapped his forehead in exasperation.
He had forgotten that Loki had the Space Stone...
Teleporting directly to the rooftop was indeed a clever move!
Counting on Loki was pointless; Chen Ye had to rely on himself.
With this in mind, Chen Ye headed to the back entrance of the tower.
There were fewer people at the back.
Finding an optimal spot, he crouched down and began to gather his strength...
The next moment, his legs exploded with power.
Boom!
The stone pavement cracked, with spiderweb-like fissures spreading around the deep pit where Chen Ye had stood!
"Whoosh!"
The sound of breaking air accompanied Chen Ye as he leaped high into the air, heading towards the building.
This wasn't flying.
It was the result of Chen Ye's explosive leg strength!
With his current power, jumping ten meters high was no problem.
Bang!
Chen Ye crashed through a window on the eighth floor.
"Ahhhh!"
Seeing someone crash through the window, several working women screamed in terror.
They thought it was a terrorist attack!
