"Are you infiltrating S.H.I.E.L.D.'s internal network?" Dr. Banner stared at Tony Stark in surprise. "Tony... why would you do that?"
"What did you say?" Captain Arica stood up and walked towards Tony Stark upon hearing Dr. Banner's remark. "Mr. Stark, it's ti for us to unite. You should focus on doing what's right."
"Sorry, Captain." Tony Stark had his own thoughts. He pulled out a bag of snacks and started munching, offering, "I'm not so old soldier who blindly follows orders. Hmm... want so?"
Captain Arica remained silent, staring at Tony.
"Fine." Tony put away the snacks and turned to Dr. Banner. "Dr. Banner, don't you find it strange?"
"Well..." Dr. Banner hesitated for a mont, then removed his glasses with a wry smile. "Please spare . I just want to end all this as soon as possible. Don't ask serious questions like that. I don't want to talk about it."
"Do you also think there's a problem, Doctor?" Captain Arica also sensed sothing amiss. He was traditional and conservative, but he wasn't foolish. At least he was willing to trust Dr. Banner. "Can you shed so light on it?"
"Alright..." Dr. Banner sighed helplessly and then beca serious. "Captain, how do you perceive the Tesseract?"
"The source of disaster," Captain Arica responded without hesitation. "The Red Skull used it as an energy weapon, nearly destroying the entire Earth. I wish that thing could remain at the bottom of the ocean forever, just like . Howard shouldn't have salvaged it."
"Oh, by the way, Howard happens to be my father." Tony Stark spoke up. "I didn't expect that my father used to be your colleague."
"Howard was a truly remarkable man." Captain Arica clearly didn't hold much affection for Tony. "As his child, you should learn more from him."
"Now is not the ti to discuss these matters, Captain." Tony Stark dismissed the topic and locked eyes with Captain Arica. "Nick Fury inford that my father was one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., and he recovered the Tesseract from the Atlantic Ocean. So... why didn't he tell about his private research on the Tesseract?"
"Perhaps you weren't considered worthy," Captain Arica suggested.
"I'm also a genius, Captain." Tony said seriously. "Do you know how much money the military wanted to pay for my armor? They only need a small palladium reactor to power them, and they can even be unmanned."
"Is manufacturing weapons a noble endeavor?" Captain Arica frowned. "Weapons are only necessary during tis of war, but the world is at peace now."
"You're right, that's what I wanted to say." After hearing Captain Arica's statent, Tony Stark snapped his fingers. "Captain, Nick Fury is a spy. He's the king of agents. How many secrets do you think he's hiding? If he had nothing to hide, why did we only find out about the Tesseract now? If the aliens hadn't invaded, would we even know about it?"
"But our current enemy is extraterrestrial." Captain Arica hesitated for a mont, then took a deep breath and firmly said, "For now, we should follow orders."
"I'm not a soldier, Captain," Tony shook his head. "But I think you said sothing right. The Tesseract should indeed remain at the bottom of the Atlantic. J.A.R.V.I.S. is currently deciphering S.H.I.E.L.D.'s internal network, and it won't be long before we uncover all of Nick's secrets. All we have to do now is wait."
"Captain, when I was last in New York, I heard there's a massive green creature there. They said it was a monster created by the military, and it was that Sorcerer who helped resolve the situation."
Dr. Banner chid in at the right mont, "Captain, they never stopped manufacturing weapons."
Captain Arica fell silent.
Soon, he left the lab without uttering a word.
Just as Captain Arica left, Fang Mo entered the room, humming a tune and carrying a steaming tal bucket.
"What do you have there?" Tony Stark asked, feeling sowhat perplexed.
"It's milk," Fang Mo explained. "Specially brought from my world. It's incredibly fresh. I had the chef warm it up a bit. Want to try so?"
"Now everyone is busy fighting aliens, and you went to warm up milk?" Tony couldn't help but comnt. "Are all you Sorcerers peculiar like this?"
"Do you want to have a taste?" Fang Mo smiled, scooping out a cup.
"No, thanks," Tony turned his head haughtily. "If you were pouring a glass of whiskey, I might have been interested. Milk... pfft, it's just a child's drink."
"You don't want it?" Fang Mo smiled. "Alright then."
"What are you going to do?" Tony Stark suddenly felt sothing was amiss.
"I just rembered that there might still be so palladium in your body that hasn't been fully removed," Fang Mo said slowly, pulling out the Cleaver from behind him. "Normally, milk helps tabolize heavy tals, but since you don't want to drink it, well, I suppose I'll reluctantly scrape them out for you..."
"Wait, wait!" Tony quickly raised his hand. "I was just joking. Hurry up and pour a glass to taste. Drinking milk is a great thing, after all..."
"That's more like it." Fang Mo happily handed him a glass of milk.
However, in the next mont, he shifted his gaze to Doctor Banner, who looked bewildered next to him.
"Doctor, would you like a glass too?"
"I..." Dr. Banner hesitated.
"Or should the Hulk have a glass?" Fang Mo inquired.
Doctor Banner glanced at Fang Mo, then at the enormous purple cleaver he sohow produced, and decisively chose to surrender. "Okay, please give a glass of milk."
So Fang Mo happily scooped a glass of milk and handed it over.
Observing this scene, Tony discreetly rolled his eyes where Fang Mo couldn't see him. Honestly, he wasn't particularly interested in milk. Whiskey and sports cars were the true essence of manly indulgence. However, amidst the ongoing crisis, there was no need for Iron Man to engage in pointless disputes with his teammates over such a trivial matter.
After all, milk couldn't be worse than chlorophyll, right?
But the mont Tony took his first sip of milk, a rich aroma enveloped his mouth. It was an unparalleled tenderness, sweetness, and richness.
Even the world's wealthiest man couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression in that mont.
"Delicious"
Dr. Banner, on the other hand, had the sa expression. "Wow, this is simply the best milk I've ever tasted. Mr. Fang Mo, could this be milk squeezed from a magical cow?"
"In a way, you could consider it magic cow milk," Fang Mo shrugged. In the world of Minecraft, cows could produce an infinite amount of milk as long as you had enough buckets or other containers. It was absurdly abundant, and Minecraft cows could single-handedly dominate the global dairy industry, boasting surprisingly delightful taste.
In fact, this could also be considered one of Fang Mo's tested
Stand abilities. Regardless of the food or drink, once Fang Mo brought sothing from the Minecraft world into reality, its taste would always be exceptional. Even a simple baked potato, once brought into reality, beca filled with rich potato flavor, crispy and delicious.
"By the way, what were you researching?" Fang Mo poured himself a glass of milk and inquired, while taking a sip. "I saw you, Tony, working on sothing on the computer earlier."
"I wasn't working on anything significant, just browsing... random stuff," Tony Stark hesitated, glancing at Fang Mo. He wasn't sure if he should share the information with him. After all, Fang Mo seed to be acquainted with Nick Fury. What if they were both involved?
Surprisingly, Fang Mo could sense Tony's hesitation.
"You're hacking into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s internal network, aren't you?"
"Do you understand technology? Are you a scientist?" Tony was taken aback but quickly retorted, even using Fang Mo's own words against him. "Dr. Banner and I hold multiple doctoral degrees. What could a sorcerer like you possibly know about computers? I'm rely enhancing the gamma-ray search program. It's a newly developed alpha-ga-ultra program..."
"I can see the future," Fang Mo calmly stated, looking directly at Tony.
"I don't believe you." Tony was a staunch believer in science. After a brief pause, he stubbornly stood his ground. "Apart from Laplace's demon, nothing else can accurately predict future events..."
"So, you guys want to know what Nick Fury is concealing, right?" Fang Mo continued nonchalantly, disregarding the tense atmosphere. "Well, he has been conducting research on energy weapons. From individual combat to large-scale weapons of mass destruction. Ever since Howard acquired the Tesseract, their research on it has never ceased. And there's sothing about mutants and the Infinity Stones... In short, he's harboring nurous secrets from you all."
Just as Fang Mo finished speaking, the sound of footsteps approached the door. Soon, Nick Fury entered, pushing it open.
"I heard from the chef that you just ward up a bucket of milk, filling the whole corridor with a delightful aroma," Nick Fury casually remarked, placing a stack of docunts on the table. "Give a glass too."
Fang Mo nodded and handed a glass of milk to Nick Fury.
"This milk tastes really good." Nick Fury's eyes lit up, clearly relishing the unique flavor of Minecraft milk. He drank it while asking, "By the way, what were you guys discussing just now?"
"Oh, I was simply informing them that S.H.I.E.L.D. is covertly developing weapons of mass destruction," Fang Mo cheerfully replied.
