"Whew—! Holy crap!"
Logan tore off his helmet, breathing heavily.
That scene had been even more realistic than the virtual training room at Xavier's Academy!
A monster more than three meters tall had smashed him to death!
It was brutal!
"Oh my—what am I seeing?!"
"Look at me! Look at me, Logan! Logan! Wake up! Wake up!"
Banner rushed over, grabbing Logan's head and shouting anxiously.
Finally, under Banner's roar, Logan snapped back to his senses.
But the adamantium claws on his hand lashed out instinctively—scratching Banner by accident!
Seeing the bloody wound, Logan immediately realized that he had been too deeply immersed in the virtual world… and had hurt someone who was trying to help him.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry, man!"
"It's fine!" Banner said calmly.
After all, before Xu Dan found him, he'd already spent years dealing with this sort of thing in Brazil.
"Wow, this wolf almost went berserk. Let's inject him with a tube of T-virus," the Red Queen said coldly. Seeing her little brother Banner injured, she immediately manipulated a laboratory instrument and moved toward Logan.
That nearly scared Logan out of his skin.
He had a deeply buried fear—
Needles.
Back then, more than a dozen needles had pierced his body, injecting adamantium directly into his bones. That kind of pain was something no human could endure.
If not for his obsessive determination at the time, even someone with his terrifying regenerative ability would have died.
Now, the moment he saw that long needle, fear surged from the depths of his heart.
Logan jumped up and instantly hid behind a piece of equipment.
At that moment, Banner smiled and said, "Logan, it's fine. Don't be scared. The Red Queen is stitching my wound."
Sure enough, the Red Queen wasn't injecting any virus. Instead, she disinfected and anesthetized Banner's wound, then quickly stitched it up.
Finally, she sprayed it with the company's proprietary medication.
A wound nearly ten centimeters long would heal in just a week.
It had to be said—Antarctica Biotechnology's rapid development owed much to those so-called "mad scientists."
Their willingness to experiment boldly had produced all kinds of astonishing technologies.
Take this rapid-healing medicine, for example. Without daring experimentation, who would ever believe that a ten-centimeter wound could heal in just one week?
"Phew…"
Xu Dan let out a sigh, looking at the honest Banner. Truthfully, he could have ignored Logan completely—let him lose control for a while and he would've woken up on his own.
Banner had been injured for nothing.
Xu Dan then turned his attention to Logan.
According to the detectors, there were no issues during the experiment. Inside the game, everything had functioned normally—the system had run perfectly.
Outside the game, Banner had monitored Logan's physical reactions through the safety systems in the helmet. Everything resembled normal sleep.
The machine indicated no abnormalities.
So… could the virtual game be declared a success?
That question had to be answered by the participant himself.
"Logan, do you feel any discomfort?" Xu Dan asked seriously.
Logan felt a bit guilty and answered honestly, "My head hurts a little, but it's nothing. Just a slight pain."
Xu Dan frowned immediately.
He asked cautiously, "What kind of pain? Is it the kind you heal from, or just an ordinary headache?"
Logan thought for a moment. "The first kind."
That single sentence brutally crushed the hope Xu Dan had just formed.
Sure enough, this game still caused damage to the human brain.
In other words, only someone like Wolverine—whose freakish regenerative ability allowed him to recover from any injury—could withstand the game's damage.
Was this game… made specifically for Wolverine?
Had all his effort gone into developing a toy for a single wolf?
Obviously not.
This game was meant for the entire world.
"Banner?"
Despite being injured, Banner never stopped working. He sat at the computer, rapidly analyzing the experimental data from moments earlier.
In the end, he reached a conclusion.
Because this time the subject was a human, the results were far clearer than those obtained from mice.
"Xu Dan, you should probably come take a look. According to this data, the current game helmet still causes certain harm to ordinary humans. If you want the whole of humanity to be able to play this game… then unless you upgrade the physical constitution of all humans."
Easy to say.
Impossible to do.
How many people were there in the world?
Seven billion.
Even if you gave every person a miraculous enhancement pill, that would be seven billion doses. You'd grind your skin off—no, even your bones wouldn't be enough.
"This isn't realistic."
"No, it isn't."
"So we still have to continue researching…"
Xu Dan pursed his lips helplessly, then looked up at Wolverine.
"This experiment lasted twenty minutes. You'll receive four hundred thousand. If you're willing to continue participating, the price stays the same—until it succeeds."
Four hundred thousand!
For ordinary people, that was an astronomical sum.
Yet Xu Dan handed it out as casually as buying a pack of snacks.
Logan nodded. To be honest, the money was tempting.
Just lying there and making money—perfect.
"Well, if possible, I'd also like to enter the game again. That bastard destroyed my village. I want to kill him."
"Your village… Fine. Do whatever you want."
It seemed Logan had developed a sense of belonging toward that small village.
Xu Dan wondered how many players would feel the same way once countless people entered the game in the future.
Unfortunately, full access was still a long way off.
At that moment, his phone rang.
He took it out and saw—it was Riva.
"Hey, what's up?"
Riva said cheerfully, "Dan, Daisy found a really fun place and invited us to go together this weekend!"
"Where?"
"New Mexico!"
Xu Dan froze.
A chain of thoughts flashed through his mind.
Daisy…
Jane Foster's assistant…
Jane Foster…
Thor's girlfriend…
New Mexico…
"Mjolnir. Thor's hammer!"
On the other end of the line, Riva was confused. She thought Xu Dan's silence meant he was about to refuse—what did a hammer have to do with anything?
"Dan? Sorry… what are you talking about? I didn't catch that."
"Thor. Asgard… Asgardians!"
Banner had said earlier that if this virtual game were to be launched, upgrading all of humanity's physiques would be unavoidable.
But now—
That was no longer necessary.
Because Xu Dan had suddenly thought of a perfect experimental subject.
A race with naturally powerful bodies—
The Asgardians.
