Chapter 036: The Transmigrator Steve

In order to find the transmigrator, Wang Bo had dispatched his mechanical soldiers all over the world.

From the initial ten or twenty thousand, he increased them to hundreds of thousands, even millions.

Millions of mechanical soldiers seemed like a lot, but once distributed across the globe, they became very sparse, and Wang Bo still hadn't found the transmigrator.

However, Wang Bo did not give up. If a million mechanical soldiers couldn't find the transmigrator, he would continue deploying more.

One million two hundred thousand, one million five hundred thousand, two million, two million five hundred thousand...

With so many eyes scattered across the world, Wang Bo refused to believe he couldn't find a single transmigrator.

Unless the transmigrator wasn't on Earth at all, but on another planet.

If that were the case, Wang Bo would be in a bind.

After all, the universe was so vast; trying to find a transmigrator was nothing short of a pipe dream. He could only wait for the transmigrator to die of old age.

But the problem was, if this transmigrator was also a long-lived species, Wang Bo would have to settle down in the DC world.

Every time he thought about this, Wang Bo would get a headache.

Yet deep down, Wang Bo had other thoughts. For instance, last time in the Marvel world, the transmigrator had still appeared on Earth, not on some other planet.

What did that imply?

First, it meant he was lucky.

Second, it meant that when he traveled between worlds, the divine artifact always placed him on the planet where the transmigrator was active.

If his guess was correct, the transmigrator in this world was still on Earth.

A few days later, when Wang Bo increased the number of mechanical soldiers to three million, he finally found a clue about the transmigrator. A mechanical soldier reported to him that in New York, USA, it had discovered traces of a suspected transmigrator's existence.

Hearing this report, Wang Bo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It proved that his guess was not wrong.

So he decisively teleported to New York and found the mechanical soldier that had reported to him.

Led by this mechanical soldier, Wang Bo arrived in front of a house.

The mechanical soldier said to Wang Bo, "The owner of this house is George Fox, an old man in his seventies. However, during World War I, he once adopted a frail young boy."

"During the most intense period of World War I, this boy repeatedly tried to join the army to serve his country, but was rejected due to his physical condition."

"The boy did not give up. He tried to enlist several times, but each time he was turned away for failing the physical examination."

"Once, during recruitment, he stated that World War I was not the end; World War II would soon follow, and he hoped America would be prepared, as it would be an even more brutal war than World War I."

"Of course, his remarks were regarded by many as absurd, and he was publicly reprimanded by some officers."

"According to Friday's assessment, this boy is likely a transmigrator from after World War II. That's why he could mention World War II."

Hearing this, Wang Bo felt a strong sense of déjà vu about the boy's path to enlistment. He couldn't help but ask, "Have you found out his name? What is this boy called?"

The mechanical soldier replied, "Steve Rogers!"

Wang Bo: ...

Now he could be certain that this Steve Rogers was a time traveler. Perhaps many people were not very familiar with this name, but if they heard his alias, most would suddenly understand.

A superhero, Captain America!

But Wang Bo had never imagined that Captain America from the Marvel universe would travel to the DC universe and want to participate in World War I. Unfortunately, before becoming a super soldier, this Captain America was far too frail, even suffering from asthma and other ailments, making it impossible for him to pass the military physical.

Wang Bo remembered that the reason Steve Rogers was able to become Captain America was that he met a benefactor during his enlistment.

Dr. Abraham Erskine, the inventor of the Super Soldier Serum.

This doctor was originally a German scientist, but after witnessing Nazi human experiments, his conscience troubled him, and he fled to America under the arrangement of the U.S. military.

Then, under America's arrangement, he initiated the Super Soldier Project.

However, the Super Soldier Serum he invented not only turned humans into superhumans but also affected the psyche. After injection, it could make the good better and the bad worse.

To avoid creating a group of super villains, Abraham chose Steve Rogers, who was physically frail but possessed a righteous heart, as the test subject.

But this doctor's luck was not good; after the experiment succeeded, he was shot dead by a Hydra spy.

The formula for the Super Soldier Serum was lost.

Steve Rogers became the first super soldier in human history.

But all of the above were stories that happened in the Marvel universe.

Wang Bo had never expected that Steve Rogers, the future Captain America, would travel to the DC universe and even try to join the army.

But the problem was, without Dr. Abraham, with Steve Rogers's physique, passing the military physical was nothing but a pipe dream.

Therefore, in the DC universe, even if Steve Rogers tried his whole life, he could never join the army, let alone become a superhero.

Wang Bo withdrew his scattered thoughts and stepped forward to knock on the door of this house.

After a moment, an old man with white hair opened the door from inside and looked at Wang Bo with doubt. "Who are you looking for?"

"You must be Mr. Fox. I'm here to see Steve Rogers," Wang Bo said slowly. "His family misses him very much, so I've come to take him home."

"Are you a relative of Steve's?" the old man asked suspiciously.

Wang Bo shook his head and said, "I'm not his relative, but I was entrusted to send him home."

The old man opened the door and made an inviting gesture, saying slowly, "Come in. Steve isn't home right now; he's out working. You can wait for him in the house."

Wang Bo did not enter but instead asked, "Do you know where Steve works?"

The old man said, "He works at a newspaper office."

Wang Bo nodded and said, "Then I'll go find him at the newspaper office."

After finding out which newspaper office Steve Rogers worked at, Wang Bo took leave of the seemingly kind old man and, accompanied by the mechanical soldier, went to the newspaper office to find Steve Rogers.

This time it went smoothly. Without much effort, Wang Bo found Steve Rogers.

The future Captain America, one of the pillars of the Marvel universe.

But now he was still a thin, frail boy, hard to connect with the future Captain America who would dominate the battlefield.
