"I'm back!"
In the evening, when Li Chuan returned home using Apparition, Wanda was making dinner with Cooking Magic.
He didn't always take Wanda with him when he went on missions; he only took her to events where combat was possible, which helped Wanda gain practical experience.
Many tasks like finding lost cats or dogs, putting out fires, or rescuing people were basically completed by him alone, and most of the time, he would flash in and out, solving it with a single magic spell, avoiding exposure if possible.
Even so, after a week, he and Wanda had already appeared in the news many times.
At first, people didn't believe in their existence, as up until then, the only real superhero who had appeared was Tony, and Tony used technology, which everyone could accept.
But Li Chuan and Wanda used magic, including some Ninjutsu that Li Chuan used, which in the eyes of New York residents, was also magic.
In the eyes of ordinary people, magic was impossible, lacked scientific basis, and was something absurd.
So at first, everyone thought it was a rumor, believing that the magic was achieved using some high-tech products, and that the photos and videos were synthesized, processed like movies.
It wasn't until later, when more and more people witnessed Li Chuan and Wanda using magic in reality, that everyone had to believe that magic truly existed.
After dinner, Wanda handed a flyer to Li Chuan.
"This afternoon, Mei brought Xiao Peter here to play and gave me this, asking if we wanted to go see it with them tomorrow. They say it will be very lively."
Li Chuan took the flyer and looked at it.
On it was the cover image of the giant outdoor exhibition hall in Queens, with the words:
"Hammer Industries New Product Showcase, epoch-making inventions, land, sea, and air combat robots, and a large fireworks display after the exhibition. Everyone is welcome to visit!"
"A large fireworks display? Then let's go see it too!"
As for the Hammer Industries new product showcase, he originally didn't plan to attend. He had Jack throw the official invitation letter from Hammer Industries into the trash.
Because he knew that the battle between Ivan Vanko and Tony Stark at that time would definitely cause chaos at the scene, and Jack and others who went might be affected.
Moreover, he was busy completing missions to earn Small World time and didn't have the leisure.
However, he clearly saw the anticipation in Wanda's eyes, so after thinking for a moment, he agreed.
Although they might not get to see the official fireworks display in the end, they would definitely see the robot explosion fireworks, which could also be considered an alternative fireworks display.
"Great, then I'll call Mei back. She's still waiting for my reply."
As soon as Wanda heard Li Chuan agree, she immediately turned around to make the call.
At this time, Li Chuan also routinely opened his panel to check the missions on the side panel.
"I thought there weren't any, but it turns out they were just a bit late."
When he turned to the last page, he quickly saw a newly refreshed mission, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Tomorrow at nine o'clock, stop the robot riot at the Hammer Industries showcase. Reward: thirty days of Small World time."
As long as it was a slightly famous event, the panel would basically issue corresponding missions. This was a pattern Li Chuan had summarized himself.
However, there had been no missions refreshed about the Hammer Industries robot showcase for the past two days, and he thought he had summarized incorrectly. It turned out they were just a bit late.
But this also made him sigh, realizing that the mission difficulty truly varied, and the rewards given were also different.
This past week, he had been working non-stop to complete a large number of side missions, but the scattered Small World mission time added up to just one month.
Yet, this single mission gave a month's reward.
But thinking about it, it was understandable. His usual opponents in missions were just ordinary people with guns, absolute weaklings, whereas this time the opponents were fully armed robots.
If you added up all the enemies he encountered this past week, it probably wouldn't be enough for a few bursts of gunfire from the robots at the exhibition.
The difficulty was naturally not on the same level.
"Ding dong! Ding dong!"
Just as Wanda finished her call and Li Chuan closed his panel, the doorbell suddenly rang.
"At this hour, is it Pietro?"
Wanda turned and walked towards the door.
"Coming."
You know it was already half past nine, and other than Pietro, her brother, normally no one would come looking for them this late.
Walking to the door and opening it, a strange middle-aged woman wearing something similar to a bright yellow monk's robe appeared before Wanda.
"Excuse me, who are you looking for?"
A look of confusion appeared on Wanda's face.
The bald woman revealed a gentle smile.
"My name is Gu Yi, and I'm looking for you and your husband, as there are some matters I wish to discuss with you."
"Gu Yi?"
Li Chuan, sitting on the living room sofa, twitched his ears and suddenly stood up.
"Gu Yi actually came? Why? Is it because Wanda and I have been using magic in public recently, and she came to warn us, or is there some other purpose?"
Li Chuan's face was a bit uncertain, but he quickly stabilized his emotions and then said to Wanda at the door:
"Wanda, since she's a guest, please invite her in to sit first. We can discuss whatever it is slowly after sitting down."
In fact, with Li Chuan's current strength, he basically had nothing to fear from S.H.I.E.L.D., HYDRA, and government agencies. As long as they didn't go too far, he couldn't be bothered with them.
What he truly feared were alien civilizations far surpassing Earth civilization, like Asgard, as well as various pantheons, the Celestial Group, Dimensional Demons, and the largest Magician organization on Earth, Kamar-Taj.
Gu Yi was precisely the head of Kamar-Taj, the Sorcerer Supreme who had lived for over five hundred years, a super powerful being capable of intercepting and repelling various Dimensional Demons and borrowing their power without ever returning it.
With Li Chuan's current strength, he absolutely couldn't win against her, and couldn't even dream of escaping.
At the same time, she was also the Guardian of the Time Stone among the Infinity Stones.
Gu Yi's visit was something he hadn't expected before, because in his view, although Gu Yi was powerful, she was very much a slacker. As long as there wasn't a world-ending crisis, she was basically either at Kamar-Taj or lying flat in the various Sanctums.
Even during the Battle of New York, when a large number of aliens invaded Earth, Gu Yi only symbolically killed some aliens near the Sanctum and didn't bother with the rest.
She shouldn't have come looking for them just because they used magic, especially since they were using magic to do good deeds.
However, since she rang the doorbell and made a formal visit, instead of directly opening a space portal to capture them and bring them back to Kamar-Taj for judgment, it probably wasn't anything too serious.
It was precisely because he thought of this that he stabilized his emotions.
