Dr. Selvig's research focus was the Cosmic Cube. To prevent a repeat of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s previous disaster, Xu Dan arranged for guards.
Goenitz was a solid choice—loyal and capable.
After notifying him, Xu Dan finally went back to rest.
—
News of the New York incident exploded worldwide. Some fearless U.S. reporters had captured close-range footage of the battlefield, including scenes of Xu Dan overwhelmingly slaughtering alien monsters.
Entertainment news went into total overdrive.
After washing up the next morning, Xu Dan ate a Chinese breakfast while watching TV and muttered, "These stations have gone insane…"
Global media would milk an event like this for months.
In any case, the world now knew Xu Dan's other identity—what the media labeled a "superhero."
While scrolling on his phone, he opened the Antarctic Forum app. As expected, even the forum had been completely overtaken.
Before, discussions were about virtual games—even World of Warcraft's dominance had been shaken.
Now every post was about Xu Dan.
He tapped a trending post titled:
"I'm on my knees! Xu Dan Dad's other identity—game developer on the surface, secretly saving the world behind the scenes!"
The post contained an edited battle clip of Xu Dan:
From the moment he nearly killed an alien with a sky kick… to the "Golden Flash" instantly wiping out Chitauri flyers… to closing the space portal.
1F: kneeling.jpg2F: When did Xu Dan Dad start making movies? Way better than that old Ma's films. Weak question: when's the release date?3F: I study film post-production. This is NOT CGI. It's real footage! My God! Alien invasion was this close to us. Thank goodness I'm studying in London!4F: 2F is clueless. Go watch the news.
…
Some doubted. Some questioned. Some were stunned. Some worshipped.
For a long time, players saw Xu Dan as a gentle, caring game creator—less a businessman, more like a kind father. He had even fulfilled a dying child's wish once.
Before seeing his photo, many imagined him as a bearded, pot-bellied middle-aged uncle.
Later, when they saw he was young and handsome, girls went crazy and boys willingly accepted him.
But now this man—already successful in business—was also a superpowered hero.
How could someone be this perfect?
A post read:
"Next Sunday going to New York to marry Xu Dan hubby. Hot registration 1/99999."
Girls were now chasing not celebrities—but a businessman and "superhero."
1F: 2/999992F: 3/999993F: 4/99999…
Objectively, this behavior was extreme—and could attract criminals.
Left with no choice, Xu Dan personally posted a pinned thread:
"I am Xu Dan. Please stay calm."
He wrote a persuasive message. They were his fans—no need to turn into irrational celebrity chasers.
Then he dropped another bombshell:
"Virtual Game officially launches in three days."
Originally it was planned for two weeks later, but he advanced the launch to divert attention.
After posting, he set down his phone and finally drank water in peace.
He still had one major task today:
The Chitauri main ship.
Logically, it was his war trophy. As an independent individual with no superiors, what he captured belonged to him.
But according to the Red Queen, every spacefaring nation had already sent spacecraft up.
Fortunately, her invasion capabilities were overwhelming—Earth's precision systems were trivial to her.
She now fully controlled the Chitauri flagship. If she wished, no Earth ship could approach.
—
Under Xu Dan's order, the Chitauri flagship slowly descended.
This nearly scared U.S. leadership to death—the White House held an emergency meeting.
But the ship caused no damage, hovering steadily above the Clinton district.
Xu Dan landed aboard by plane. Yesterday there had been no time to handle things—thousands of Chitauri corpses still littered the interior.
"Red Queen, send our transport aircraft. Clean up the bodies and send specimens to Banner."
Alien bodies had immense research value.
Like dissecting frogs in med school—this was foundational.
And these were extraterrestrials; countless secrets could be uncovered.
Their lifeforms were unique—research value even higher.
Plus several massive "Leviathan" creatures to study.
They were enormous, yet flew without visible engines. Earth desperately needed that tech.
"Red Queen, inventory what we can develop and use from this ship."
Her projection appeared.
"Master, first: the warship itself has development value. However, Chitauri ship design has many flaws. For example, weak defenses—despite its size, it cannot withstand modern Earth firepower…"
