Chapter 008: Being Watched

Not to mention the distant future, let's talk about the near future.

Tony Stark being kidnapped meant that the Marvel plot was starting to move. In a few years, the Ancient One would die, Odin would die, and the cosmic tyrant Thanos would arrive with his fleet to snap his fingers.

Hey, wait a minute, how could I have forgotten this?

Thanos snaps his fingers, and half of all life in the universe is randomly erased. Doesn't that mean the transmigrator would also be erased?

Of course, the probability is one in two.

For anyone, it's the same. For the transmigrator, and for Wang Bo.

If the transmigrator died and he lived, wouldn't that mean he could leave this world?

Of course, if it were the opposite, Wang Bo wasn't afraid either.

Don't forget, he had the ability to revive.

Even if he died, Wang Bo could come back to life.

The worst-case scenario was that both Wang Bo and the transmigrator survived, and they still never met, or met but didn't recognize each other, so he would have to continue living in this world.

Of course, this was just the worst-case scenario.

Wang Bo figured that with his luck, it couldn't be that bad, right?

Bang bang bang...

Just as Wang Bo was lost in thought, a knock came at the door.

Wang Bo snapped back to reality and said, "Come in."

The blonde secretary pushed open the door and walked in, followed by a red-haired woman. "Boss, this is the new assistant, Natalia. Starting today, Natalia will take over my previous work. Is that okay?"

Ever since the spaceship came out, Hammer Industries had been expanding, with orders pouring in like snowflakes.

The blonde secretary's workload had suddenly increased more than tenfold, leaving her so busy she didn't even have time to take a sip of tea. After persisting for a few days, she finally couldn't take it anymore.

So she asked Wang Bo for permission to hire a few assistants to take over her previous work and help her handle the idle tasks.

Wang Bo agreed; he wasn't some kind of demon.

But Wang Bo didn't expect that the first assistant his blonde secretary brought in would be her.

Natalia?

Bullshit, I think it's Natasha Romanoff! Do you really think I don't recognize Black Widow?

Wait, if I remember correctly, Black Widow has two names: one is Natasha, and the other seems to be Natalia Alianovna Romanova.

That's her original name, so it's not wrong for her to call herself Natalia.

Wang Bo took a few glances at the famous Black Widow and said, "Introduce yourself."

Black Widow straightened her curvaceous figure and said slowly, "No problem, boss. My name is Natalia Romanova, Russian, graduated from Oxford University, proficient in six languages: Russian, English, French, German, Chinese, and Italian. During my time at school, I received several scholarships..."

Wang Bo watched Black Widow speaking confidently, nodding slightly while thinking, "Looks like S.H.I.E.L.D. put in some effort; this resume is quite thorough."

"Alright, that's enough." Seeing that Black Widow seemed about to continue, Wang Bo raised his hand to stop her.

Black Widow obediently closed her mouth.

"You're hired." Wang Bo said calmly, pointing at the blonde secretary. "From now on, you'll take over her previous work. Remember to hand over the duties."

Black Widow showed a relieved expression, and a hint of joy appeared on her face.

As if she was genuinely happy to be hired.

Seeing this, Wang Bo couldn't help but snort inwardly. Drama queen. A famous spy like you, why do you need to add so much drama?

But Wang Bo wouldn't expose her. He could roughly guess what S.H.I.E.L.D. was thinking by sending Black Widow to his side. As long as Black Widow didn't go too far, Wang Bo planned to turn a blind eye.

He wanted a peaceful life and didn't want to get involved in those strange affairs.

"Alright, you may go now." Wang Bo said.

Black Widow and the blonde secretary nodded and turned around simultaneously.

"Wait." Wang Bo suddenly called out.

Both turned around, looking at Wang Bo in surprise. The blonde secretary said, "Is there something, boss?"

Wang Bo took a bag of coffee beans from the drawer, placed it on the table, and pointed at Black Widow. "You, take these coffee beans and brew me a cup of coffee."

Black Widow nodded, walked over, picked up the coffee beans, and left with the blonde secretary.

After the two left, Wang Bo stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. The continuous sunlight streamed through the window, shining on Wang Bo, warm and comfortable. Wang Bo couldn't help but let out a comfortable groan.

Having lived in the Time Villa for several months, Wang Bo rarely got to bask in real sunlight.

Although the Time Villa also had day and night, those were magic, not real sunlight. It could be said that Wang Bo hadn't been in the sun for a long time.

But that didn't mean his strength hadn't improved.

After all, Wang Bo had Ripple Qigong. Although Ripple Qigong wasn't as effective as real sunlight, it still gave Wang Bo powerful help, allowing his strength to rise steadily.

First was the Man of Steel physique. Not only did it become harder, but more importantly, Wang Bo's strength increased again.

At least doubled.

Now, casually throwing out three thousand tons of force was no problem for him.

If enhanced with Ripple Qigong and magic, throwing out tens of thousands of tons of force wasn't an issue either.

Tens of thousands of tons sounded terrifying, but this power was far inferior to even the Golden Age Superman. After all, Superman was weakest in the Golden Age.

But even that era's Superman could still push an ocean liner into a dry dock.

And an ocean liner weighed between a hundred thousand and several hundred thousand tons.

Clearly, the Golden Age Superman was not to be underestimated.

Not to mention that the Golden Age Superman's speed exceeded the speed of light.

As for Wang Bo, although his speed had increased, it was only about a dozen times the speed of sound. Enhanced, it could reach several dozen times the speed of sound, still far from the speed of light.

But besides changes in strength and speed, Wang Bo had awakened two more Superman abilities.

One was flight.

In the past, Wang Bo relied on witchcraft and magic to fly, but now he could finally break free from Earth's gravity and fly freely.

Now, Wang Bo finally had the awareness of being Superman, after all, a Superman who couldn't fly wasn't really Superman.

As for the second ability, it was heat vision.

That was the ability to emit light from the eyes. Initially, Wang Bo thought it was laser, but later he learned it wasn't laser; it was heat vision!

The Silver Age Superman's heat vision could melt and evaporate all matter.

But Wang Bo wasn't that powerful yet. His heat vision, at most, was just over a thousand degrees Celsius.
