"Prepare, prepare."
Tao Wen repeated the words he'd just heard on the phone, murmuring to himself.
For him, the best preparation was to go farm Fragments.
He already had 5 Fragments, and 6 wasn't far off. After getting new equipment, his strength would increase again.
As for eating, it was easy for him. Before his transmigration, a few steamed buns were enough. After, two burgers would do the trick, especially the Tingfeng Burger from Mandanglao, which he particularly liked. Add a Happy Fatty Water, and he was completely satisfied.
"Where should I go to farm Fragments?"
Tao Wen couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache. In S.H.I.E.L.D., there weren't many places left to farm Fragments. Barton and Natasha had almost been squeezed dry. Natasha only had the option of knocking her out, but under normal circumstances, he didn't plan on doing that. Natasha was a woman who held grudges, and knocking her out would definitely give him a headache.
"I wonder if the bar is open now? As long as I can run into Quicksilver, one word will satisfy the Fragment requirement."
Tao Wen, lost in thought, unlocked his phone and checked the opening time for Queen's Bar: 7 PM.
Looking at the schedule, Tao Wen immediately abandoned his plan to find Quicksilver. It was only six o'clock, and he wouldn't make it in time. By seven, the helicopter would have arrived, so he had to give up.
What should I do? Does this mean I can only farm Fragments from Hulk?
Tao Wen muttered to himself, feeling helpless. His defense was decent, but he still lacked offensive power. He could still fight Abomination, who had constant strength, for a while, but he was at a disadvantage against Hulk, whose strength increased with his anger.
After all, Hulk was a terrifying existence who could beat Kee-mei to the point of questioning her life. Even if he wasn't that strong now, he still couldn't be matched by Tao Wen currently.
"I've got it!"
As he was thinking, a figure approached in the distance. Seeing the figure, his eyes lit up, and he had an idea.
The person coming was Coulson.
The impeccably dressed Coulson, his hair slicked back and gleaming, looked energetic. Upon seeing Tao Wen, he immediately greeted him, "Tao, you haven't left yet?"
"No, I haven't. Coulson, would you like to have dinner together?" Tao Wen asked sincerely.
"Of course, I would."
Coulson replied, his heart filled with excitement. As a fervent fan obsessed with superheroes, he wouldn't miss this chance. Moreover, he knew some information about Tao Wen. He had a feeling that he would need Tao Wen's help to find his idol, Captain America.
He had to build a good relationship.
He hadn't seen Captain America in many years.
"I'll book the restaurant. I know a French restaurant that serves excellent Foie Gras."
Coulson spoke, picking up his phone.
"Of course, but make it quick. I need to be on a mission in an hour."
Tao Wen replied.
"They're always fast, and the restaurant is in the building across from us, so it won't delay you."
Coulson flashed a winning smile, looking pleased.
"Really?"
Tao Wen looked across, surprised. The opposite side was a block of residential buildings; he hadn't considered that direction at all.
"Let's talk as we walk. It's a special private restaurant. I eat there because of a friend's recommendation. Their food is wonderful; you'll definitely like it."
Coulson said as he walked, and soon took Tao Wen to the tenth floor. The entire tenth floor was a restaurant called Miao Yuan Restaurant, with a unique and distinctive style.
There weren't many customers in the restaurant, most were in private rooms, and some voices could be faintly heard. However, a tempting fragrance permeated the air inside. The owner was a middle-aged man, a bit bald like Coulson. Upon seeing Coulson's arrival, he proactively ushered them into a private room.
"That was fast, indeed."
After entering the private room, Tao Wen's eyes lit up. The table was already laden with food.
There was Truffle, Foie Gras, Baked Snails, Caviar, steak, and red wine. It all looked very high-end. This made Tao Wen a little excited. These dishes were famous French delicacies and were expensive, not something ordinary people could afford.
These foods all emitted a tempting aroma, with both appealing color and fragrance. Just looking at and smelling them made Tao Wen's appetite surge, wanting to eat heartily.
"This is also why I often like to come here to eat. Not only is it delicious, but it's also extremely fast, very suitable for people like us who are always on missions."
Coulson invited Tao Wen to sit down and said with a smile.
"Cheers."
Tao Wen raised his glass with a smile, clinking it with Coulson's.
After tasting the food, Tao Wen instantly fell in love with the restaurant. The taste was top-notch, giving him a sense of complete enjoyment.
After dinner, the two chatted for a while.
"Coulson, could you do me a favor?"
As they were about to leave, Tao Wen said to Coulson.
"What is it, Tao?"
Coulson looked at Tao Wen, puzzled.
"Hit me."
Tao Wen said solemnly.
"Huh?"
Coulson was puzzled, not knowing what Tao Wen was trying to do.
"I've been feeling like my body is becoming increasingly steel-like, but I can't measure it myself. I want you to help me gauge my body's degree of hardness. Just two levels of force will do."
Tao Wen explained.
"Alright."
Coulson took a deep look at Tao Wen. In the information he had, there was indeed information about Tao Wen, especially the part about him only having less than a month left after being modified by Hydra. The agency unanimously believed that the reason Tao Wen had such a strong body hardness was related to the Hydra modification, and his body would definitely become harder and harder.
"Is this level of force okay?"
Coulson walked over to Tao Wen and lightly threw a punch, which landed on Tao Wen's chest with a soft thud.
"Yes."
Seeing that no Fragments appeared, Tao Wen immediately replied. He knew this level couldn't show it, and continued,
"Alright, I'll use a little more force."
Coulson threw another punch, significantly increasing the power. It landed on Tao Wen's chest.
"Wow, your body is as hard as steel, maybe even more so, almost on par with Vibranium!"
The punch produced a resounding clang, which made Coulson exclaim in surprise. He had heard rumors that Tao Wen's body was like steel, but he had only heard them. Now it seemed to be true.
Simultaneously, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. He could sense that Tao Wen's ability didn't seem to be the work of Hydra, but the thought was immediately dismissed.
According to the files, Tao Wen was a completely ordinary person before being modified by Hydra.
"Thank you."
During this impact, the data of Fragments +1 reappeared before Tao Wen's eyes, causing a different kind of light to shine in his eyes. He was genuinely grateful.
"It's nothing, let's rest for a while."
Coulson smiled and said, "I'll have the boss send over some Happy Fatty Water. The Happy Fatty Water here is specially made, you'll definitely like it."
After this experiment, Coulson became even more impressed with Tao Wen. He naturally knew Tao Wen's preferences and walked out of the private room.
"Let's see what I can get this time!"
Tao Wen's gaze landed on the Fragments in front of him. As his eyes swept over them, the Fragments integrated into the percentage, becoming 6/6.
At the moment of completion, 6/6 burst forth with a dazzling blue light. It bloomed suddenly, like a small, radiant sun, its brilliance captivating.
Tao Wen's anticipation in his heart couldn't help but reach its peak, wondering what he would obtain this time.
