Chapitre 421: Chapter 420: Effects
After the examination, if there were no issues, S.H.I.E.L.D. would need to find a way to purchase several doses of the strengthening serum.
One could be used for research, and the remaining ones could be considered as rewards for the elite agents.
Currently, Coulson had returned to the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, but the subsequent journey didn't go smoothly.
The price for the Sand Puppet Shop's physique-enhancing serum was high – 300 million US dollars worth of Vibranium.
On the other hand, the Sound Village didn't have any strengthening serum for sale.
Of course, it was only a temporary absence.
While visiting, Tayuya didn't explicitly state that there would never be any similar strengthening serums for sale.
The Sound Village did have other means of enhancing strength; it just wasn't their current intention to sell them.
Returning to S.H.I.E.L.D., Coulson knocked on Nick Fury's office door.
Seeing Coulson, Nick Fury asked, "Any progress?"
"The results are as we analyzed. The Hidden Sand Village also has its own physique-enhancing serum, but they don't want energy cubes."
Nick Fury directly asked, "What do they need?"
"They want 15 kilograms of Vibranium, a total of 15,000 grams, worth 300 million US dollars."
Hearing Coulson's report, Nick Fury was left speechless. Was 300 million US dollars expensive for a dose of the physique-enhancing serum?
It's hard to say. However, in terms of cost, using the Tesseract to produce 200 energy cubes would never cost 300 million US dollars, it wouldn't even reach 30 million.
As for 15 kilograms of Vibranium, it wasn't as simple as 300 million US dollars; it is an extremely rare material.
Although the cost price when purchased from the impoverished and backward country of Wakanda was $10,000 per gram, the quoted price for external transactions was $20,000 per gram.
"Is there a limit on the quantity?"
"Temari didn't mention a specific limit, but Wakanda only sells a limited amount of Vibranium to the outside world each year. Fifteen kilograms is a considerable amount."
Nick Fury thought for a moment and then said, "Consider it as an alternative. Mainly, we will buy from Charles Agency."
"Yes, Director."
"Also, about the Sound Village, Tayuya said they don't have a physique-enhancing serum.
However, they do have items to enhance strength. It's just that the village currently has no plans to sell them. If they decide to sell, they will contact us immediately."
No strengthening serum from the Sound Village? Just as Nick Fury was contemplating, the office door was knocked once again.
"Come in!"
At this moment, a medical professional wearing a white coat walked in. "Director, Barton's physical fitness test results are out."
"How is it?"
"Remarkable. His strength has reached 8 tons, running speed is 30 meters per second, reaching a speed of 100 kilometers per hour. Most importantly, at this speed, he can run continuously for an hour without exhaustion and still has the strength to continue fighting."
Upon hearing the doctor's report, Nick Fury and Coulson exchanged glances, both filled with pleasant surprise.
"Are there any abnormalities or side effects in his body?"
"His body is in excellent condition. It's as strong as an ox. Currently, we haven't detected any issues."
"But also because of time, the detailed examination results for some specific issues haven't come out yet."
"By the way, Director, Barton says he needs a weapon replacement. The previous bowstring can no longer fully unleash his strength."
"Alright, I got it. Continue the testing, and make sure to conduct a thorough check on Barton to ensure there are no issues with his body!"
"Yes, Director!"
After the doctor left, Nick Fury rubbed his chin and then said, "Order two sets of physique-enhancing serums from the Sand Puppet Shop. I'll figure out a solution for the Vibranium quantity."
"Also, communicate with Charles. Find out when the next sale of physique-enhancing serum will take place."
Upon hearing that the Director wanted to order two sets of physique-enhancing serums from the Hidden Sand Village, Coulson nodded to indicate his understanding.
"Director, besides that, I received another piece of information."
"Thirteen years ago, there might have been a significant war among the ninjas."
"According to the Hidden Sand Village's Kazekage's daughter, Temari, Mist Hidden Village once attacked Konoha, and Uchiha was in charge of the battlefield aginst the Mist Hidden Village. Simultaneously, Cloud Hidden Village also attacked Konoha."
Nick Fury rubbed his chin, thinking, "1999? Did a war happen in the ninja world in 1999?"
"Why would other ninja villages dare to attack Konoha, the first major ninja village?"
Coulson shook his head, "It's unclear why the other ninja villages attacked Konoha. Perhaps it was that battle that confirmed Konoha's status as the first major ninja village."
Nick Fury nodded thoughtfully, prompting Coulson to continue.
"According to my understanding, besides being allies with the Hidden Sand Village, Konoha's relationship with the other three major ninja villages is not harmonious. This may give us a significant opportunity."
"Hidden Sand Village, appearing right after Hidden Leaf Village, may represent the alliance between the two."
"Otherwise, the ninja village born after Konoha wouldn't be Sand Village; it should be the result of co-operation between Konoha and Sunagakure."
"Perhaps in the near future, the other three major ninja villages and smaller ninja villages will also emerge."
Hearing that more ninja villages would emerge in the future, Nick Fury felt a headache. The number of extraordinary ninja was simply too much.
Thinking that the other party might inject physique-enhancing serums from childhood and undergo chakra refining, Nick Fury felt that these ninja organizations were a super huge trouble.
If all of them were to emerge, he feared that it would change the world's landscape.
"Initiate global monitoring. Whenever a ninja appears, S.H.I.E.L.D. must establish contact with them as soon as possible."
"As for their relationships, we need to obtain more intelligence before we can leverage it."
"Yes, Director!"
...
The next day-
After Charles spent the entire day in the training ground, practicing his new ninjutsu, especially the combination of Suiton (Water Release) and Raiton (Lightning Release) to create a ranged attack, he was very satisfied.
Coming out of the system space, he found that another day had passed.
Check-in!
Ding! Check-in successful. Reward: 50 servings of delicious ramen.
After collecting the delicious ramen, Charles pushed open the door and walked out. It was already noon.
Just as he was heading downstairs, he happened to meet Ginny, who had come to report something.
"BOSS, there's something I need to report to you!"
Behind Ginny was John, holding a briefcase.
"What's the matter?"
"The 50 Ark Reactors you asked me to purchase from Tony have been obtained. Tony said he won't be producing so many in a short time."
Hearing Ginny's words, Charles nodded and said, "Alright, I got it. Give me the stuff."
"Also, inform Tsunade to come to the conference room for a meeting. You can come along too."
"Okay, BOSS."
