บท 45: chapter 45

After leaving the mirrored space, Yihu used a key to open the front door of the house. The house had undergone many changes thanks to Stark's improvements, and the interior was much more luxurious.

"Welcome home, sir!" Elisa's projection bowed slightly to Yihu. After seeing the Barbie-like appearance of the other person's projection multiple times, Yihu no longer found it terrifying. Baymax, who was daydreaming around the corner, heard the noise and walked over with small steps. Yihu quickly said, "I don't need a check-up, thank you!"

Baymax stood still, with his hands open, blinking his small eyes, somewhat unsure. Yihu learned from Elisa that Jessica had gone out to fight the Chitauri, and after hesitating for a moment, he chose not to pay it any mind. Jessica had considerable strength, and the remaining Chitauri troops couldn't harm her.

With a thought, Yihu opened a spatial portal to the underwater laboratory. Ivan and The Leader, who were working, immediately became alert. Seeing Yihu walk out from inside, the two of them holstered their weapons and respectfully shouted, "Boss!"

Yihu nodded and quietly placed the Chitauri soldier's body from his backpack into the warehouse, saying in a low voice, "Study their technology carefully."

"Yes, Boss!"

A gleam of excitement flashed in Ivan and the The Leader's eyes. They had witnessed the live broadcast of the citywide battle and were very interested in this extraterrestrial race. Yihu paid no attention to their excitement and let them wander around the armory on their own. Inside, there were energy weapons confiscated from the alien as well as weapons brought back from the Pacific Rim world and Stark's new energy sources.

When Stark manipulated the blueprints in front of him, Yihu had kept an eye on the scene and memorized it. With the specific structure in mind, Ivan quickly reproduced the items. After integrating the Space Stone, the evaluation behind the names on the back panels changed to "All Father" level.

Yihu understood that his "All Father" status was largely due to his ability to store energy. Although he couldn't match the power of someone like Odin, even the normal Thanos would be no match for him. However, his ability to preserve his own life was stronger than most All Fathers.

Once he absorbed the Power Stone, he would be able to manipulate the immense energy within him and be confident enough to go head-to-head with the peak Odin. After some contemplation, Yihu decided to take a break in other worlds. While he was submissive in the main world, he could transform into Uchiha Madara in other worlds, making his enemies dance before him, and when they were at their most proud, he would slap them to death.

Yihu casually picked up a few weapons, gave some instructions to Ivan, and then returned to the residence. He asked Elisa to inform Jessica that he had some matters to attend to and would be going on a trip. He then went to the bedroom on the third floor and stared fixedly at the options in the World Selection, particularly the characters XiaoYuer and Hua Wuque. Remembering Jiang Huang with his bangs and the fear he had once felt when looking up at him as a child, even though he knew Jiang Huang couldn't beat him now, he couldn't help but recall the fear that had been imposed upon him.

The reason he chose this world was that he didn't need to take action personally Yihu only needed to make his move in the final decisive battle and take down the two individuals mentioned in the plot. It perfectly matched his intention of taking a break.

With a mental command, Yihu confirmed and disappeared from the room. When he reappeared, he found himself on a lively street. Although Yihu's appearance stood out in the crowd, the people around him automatically ignored the issue due to the influence of his psychic power.

Yihu borrowed some startup capital from a kind-hearted, plump person and went to a restaurant to experience the ancient cuisine.

"Have you heard? The number one martial arts tournament in the world will be held in three days to determine the new number one!"

"Hehe! I'm going to compete for the title of the strongest fighter this time!"

"Tsk~ What's the big deal? If you want a big event, it has to be the Huashan Sword Tournament held by the Song Kingdom. It is said that this time they will be competing for the Nine Yin Manual left behind by the grandmaster Huang Shang."

"That's nothing! Just recently, Hua Wuque from the Yihua Palace caused a scene at the wedding banquet of the daughter of the Minister of War, and he brought the groom back to the Yihua Palace for execution. It was truly satisfying!"

As Yihu listened to the discussions at the surrounding tables, he frowned slightly. Considering the plot of being the number one in the world, Yihu felt that even the Iron-hearted Divine Marquis might not be able to defeat the corrupted Jiang Huang. Even though Zhu Wushi's absorbing technique was superior to Jiang Huang's Flower-Substitution Art, it would never surpass his own thermal energy beam. With this in mind, Yihu couldn't help but sigh and say, "This damn storyboard is getting more and more proficient at bundle sales."

Leaving the restaurant, Yihu took a deep breath. Perhaps it was an illusion, but he felt that the air in ancient times was indeed more comfortable than the modern one. Unconsciously, he arrived at the entrance of the Number One Manor, looking at the lively crowd. In his heart, he couldn't help but wonder if his M1911 could win the title of the number one concealed weapon.

Yihu entered the Number One Manor and, using the M1911, successfully defeated 21 concealed weapon experts in a row, obtaining the title of this year's number one concealed weapon. He only needed to defeat the current number one to obtain the identity token.

Yihu arrived at the martial arts arena of the Number One Manor. To liven things up, he joked with Gongong, who had obtained the title of the number one illusionist through his angry spirit, and Qin Ye, the number one strongman. Afterward, Yihu faced the current number one concealed weapon expert in a duel.

"Hmph, have you heard of my title as the Invincible Dart Master?"

An old man wearing a gray robe with white hair and a beard slowly walked up to Yihu, his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky with the appearance of a lonely master. Yihu took seven steps back and whispered, "I wonder if the senior has heard of the saying that a gun is fast and accurate beyond seven steps, and within seven steps, it's even faster and more precise..."

The old man tilted his head as if about to say something, but he heard a thunderous boom. Yihu blew on the smokeless muzzle and calmly walked to the old man's side, taking the identity token from the lifeless body without batting an eye.

"Good! Truly worthy of the newly crowned number one concealed weapon!"

Shangguan Haitang flew into the martial arts arena from the rooftop, looking at Yihu with admiration. Even if she hadn't been prepared, that attack could have killed her on the spot. Shangguan Haitang decided to investigate Yihu's background. If everything checked out, she would recommend him to her adoptive father to see if he could become the number one in the Huang faction.

Yihu nodded in response to her previous praise and watched as Shangguan Haitang took the First Gentleman away. Yihu immediately understood that the plot was beginning, but none of this concerned him. The reason he came to claim the title of the number one concealed weapon was to freeload off the wealth and resources in the Wan San Qian business industry using this identity token.

Borrowing money all the time wasn't a good idea, but freeloading was the best. Yihu greeted the people who had approached him to establish connections and then sat in the seat where the old man had been sitting before. He accepted the new bowl and chopsticks handed to him by a maid and took a sip of the tea on the table.

"By the way, have you heard?" The thin man next to Yihu glanced at the others with a lecherous gaze and whispered, "The leader of the Tiandihui, Xiong Ba, was promoted to Grandmaster a month ago."

"Ptuh..." Yihu spewed out all the tea he had just drunk. Looking at the gazes of the others, he apologized with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, everyone. This news is indeed quite shocking. I hope you all understand!"

The people at the table waved their hands with smiles, indicating that they didn't mind. Their titles were all superficial, unlike Yihu, who had real skills.
