Chapter 40 - Chapter 40 Are You Applying to be a Researcher or a Combatant?

Ivan died extremely suddenly, even somewhat hastily.

Neither Tony nor Rhodey reacted before he had already fallen.

"It's truly a case of better late than never."

Daniel walked over from a distance, shaking his head and sighing.

He wondered what kind of fetish these people in Iron Armor had.

Even though the Iron Armor had such high defense, they all liked to open their helmets to speak.

He had just arrived at the scene, following the map marker, and saw Ivan with his head exposed, delivering his lines.

Who could resist that?

Daniel didn't hesitate and decisively pulled out his gun and shot.

Thus, the scene just now unfolded.

Poor Ivan, a dignified Super Villain, whose screen time was even less than that of the Iron Soldiers he created.

His cause of death was not wearing a helmet!

Seeing Ivan's death, Tony and Rhodey's mouths twitched slightly.

They secretly swore in their hearts that as long as they were wearing their suits in the future, they would never take off their helmets, no matter what!

As Daniel walked over to Ivan's side, the system's voice sounded at just the right moment.

You have successfully defeated BOSS 'Whiplash' Ivan Vanko!

Starting damage reward settlement.

Rewards are as follows: 10000 experience points, 5 free attribute points, equipment 'Whiplash Armor', skill 'Stealth Step', item 'Ladder of Free Passage', item 'Everlasting Torch', item 'Non-mainstream Wig'.

Equipment: Whiplash Armor (Iron Armor crafted by Ivan Vanko, equipped with two powerful energy whips, drawback is not wearing a helmet, prone to sneak attacks from certain old sly ones. Note: Built-in self-destruct system has been removed, please use with confidence).

Skill: Stealth Step (When activated, your movement will not make a sound).

Item: Ladder (Holding this ladder, you can enter all locations without any obstruction).

Item: Everlasting Torch (A pixel-style torch, the flame on it will never extinguish).

Item: Non-mainstream Wig (After wearing it, you will see half fewer enemies, greatly increasing your courage).

The next second, the Whiplash Armor on Ivan suddenly disappeared.

Daniel watched, speechless.

Good heavens, on-site collection, is it?

Seeing Tony and Rhodey's gazes, Daniel immediately explained, "Don't look at me, I didn't do it."

"If you say so."

Tony chuckled, becoming even more convinced that his reactor had been stolen by Daniel last time.

As a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent, there were basically no holidays.

Whenever he had free time, there would always be a slave owner whipping him to work.

Although this slave owner was a Black Egg.

Daniel was at home watching a Batman movie when he received a call from Fury halfway through.

"Agent Daniel, I need you to go undercover into Osborn Group to investigate Norman Osborn's secret experiment in cooperation with the Military."

Mission: Investigate Osborn Group.

Objective: Go undercover into Osborn Group to investigate Chairman Norman Osborn's secret experiment in cooperation with the Military.

Reward: Experience +1000, S.H.I.E.L.D. Reputation +20, Random Item * 1.

Daniel curiously asked, "Why not Black Widow? Isn't she better at undercover work?"

Fury explained, "I've assigned Agent Romanoff other tasks, and besides, Norman Osborn is an old man, not like Tony Stark, who… Anyway, this mission is yours."

Daniel understood.

Norman Osborn was old and frail, immune to Natasha's honey trap, not as easy to approach as Tony.

Osborn Group, America's largest biotechnology company, with a market value of hundreds of billions of U.S. dollars.

Of course, biotechnology was only Osborn Group's main business; in Military industry, energy, industrial, and many other fields, Osborn Group also achieved remarkable success.

Looking across the entire America, only Tony's Stark Industries could rival it.

Daniel drove to the Osborn Building.

It must be said that Fury's car was indeed excellent, especially the air conditioning system, which was incredibly comfortable!

This Black Egg really knew how to enjoy himself!

Daniel grumbled inwardly as he walked into the Osborn Building.

Guided by the front desk lady, he quickly found Osborn Group's recruitment office.

"Is this your resume?"

The Osborn Group recruiter looked at Daniel's resume, a shocked expression on his face.

"Daniel, male, outstanding graduate of MIT, Ph.D., proficient in biochemistry, genetics, genetic engineering, close combat, firearms, stealth. Uh, are you sure you're applying for a researcher position?"

The recruiter was stunned.

Are you here to apply for a researcher or a combatant!?

"Yes."

Daniel nodded.

For a recruitment resume, it was naturally better to make it as exaggerated as possible; anyway, this was information forged by S.H.I.E.L.D., and the other party couldn't verify its authenticity.

As he expected, after the recruiter verified it, he found that these credentials were indeed real.

The recruiter exclaimed, "Oh, your resume is incredible! I'm surprised we haven't heard of you before."

Daniel said, "It's normal not to have heard of me, I've always been low-key."

"Congratulations, you've been hired by Osborn Group."

The recruiter didn't think much of it and decisively hired Daniel, having him start as an assistant.

But Daniel was unwilling: "I won't be an assistant; I need an independent laboratory to continue my research project."

"What project?"

Daniel pulled out a bottle of red potion from his pocket; it was the Life Potion he had given Blade before.

"This is what I'm researching, the Life Potion. One sip refreshes the mind, two sips banish fatigue, three sips grant immortality. Uh, that last part isn't possible, but it can cure most diseases."

Listening to this sales pitch that sounded like fake medicine, the recruiter suspiciously asked, "Are you sure it's that miraculous?"

"Of course, if you don't hire me, I'll go to Stark Industries next door; Tony Stark, that mustache man, would be very happy to take me in."

Hearing this, the recruiter immediately became serious, "Please wait, I need to consult my superior."

With that, he immediately picked up the phone to contact his superior.

Not long after, an old man in a suit walked into the room.

"Oh, Mr. Osborn?"

The applicant was shocked; how did he manage to summon his boss?

Norman ignored him, his eyes fixed on Daniel and the Life Potion in his hand.

"You're saying this bottle can cure most diseases?"

NPC: Norman Osborn.

Codename: Green Goblin.

Affection: 0.

Evaluation: Marvel Goblin, Spider-Man's nemesis, one of Peter's uncles.

Status: Suffering from a hereditary disease, not long to live.

"That's right!"

Daniel looked at Norman's information and happily added, "Even if it can't completely cure terminal illnesses, for things like hereditary diseases, it can effectively alleviate symptoms, allowing the patient to return to a healthy state. Consistent use will keep them free from the troubles of illness."

Hearing this, Norman seemed to see hope, but his expression remained calm.

"Can I send this bottle for testing?"

"Of course."
