Three days later, at the New York Lis Group laboratory.
"The focus of our upcoming work is to develop a genetic drug that allows human limbs to regenerate. This is Dr. Maya Hansen, who has already conducted very in-depth research in this area."
Li Chuan introduced the newly joined long-haired female doctor, Maya Hansen, to Lis Group research core members like Banner, Betty, Lister, and Ethan.
Three days ago, after he and Wanda subdued Killian and the others, he used the Mind Stone, the Imperius Curse, Obliviate, and False Memory Charms to fully brainwash them all.
At the same time, he also found Maya Hansen, who was still conducting research in the laboratory.
Maya Hansen was the main creator of Extremis, but she was different from Killian. She did indeed resent Tony somewhat, but it hadn't reached the point of wanting him dead, nor did she know about Killian's plan.
Like most biologists, she simply wanted her research results to be recognized and to benefit humanity.
Her initial cooperation with Killian was partly due to shared circumstances and partly because Killian had the means to obtain money so she could continue her research.
Therefore, when Li Chuan revealed Killian's evil plan to her and extended an olive branch, she decisively chose to join Lis Group, a conscientious enterprise that truly benefited human development.
Now, on the surface, Maya Hansen led the project, with Banner and others assisting, researching how to remove the other effects of Extremis while safely and stably retaining the ability for limb regeneration.
Secretly, the research results were sent to the Sokovia Base and handed over to doctors like Killian, Lister, and Smith to ensure that the Extremis injection would be one hundred percent successful.
After everything was on the right track, Li Chuan returned to his previous state, using Shadow Clones to practice magic and Ninjutsu, and completing some side quests that could provide time in the Small World.
His strength entered a state of steady improvement.
Just like that, 2010 passed quickly, and 2011 arrived smoothly.
During this period, some things happened that were insignificant to Li Chuan, such as news reports about Captain America, where a reporter captured footage of Captain America fighting a monster with a mechanical arm on an overpass.
Captain America had a dedicated memorial in New York, his story was in students' textbooks, and related animations, movies, and TV series had once swept the nation.
Therefore, after the government confirmed his identity, it caused quite a sensation for a while.
At the same time, he also learned from Coulson that under the leadership of Captain America, S.H.I.E.L.D., although it hadn't completely cleared out the HYDRA Agents led by Pierce, it could be considered to have regained legitimacy.
At least the Security Council and the high-level government officials already knew that Pierce and the others were indeed HYDRA, and that Nick Fury's group was the true S.H.I.E.L.D. that maintained World security.
Of course, this wasn't important to Li Chuan; as long as the HYDRA people weren't stupid enough to set their sights on him, he didn't have the time to deal with them.
Unless the panel released relevant tasks.
June 2011.
That day, after finishing his cultivation as usual, Li Chuan was taking a walk in the residential complex with Wanda when he suddenly received a strange call.
"Hello, who is this?"
He thought it was some telemarketing call, but unexpectedly, a familiar voice came from the other end of the line.
"Friend, it's me, Thor!"
"Thor, you actually know how to use a phone?"
A look of surprise appeared on Li Chuan's face.
The last time he saw Thor was during the Chitauri invasion of Earth. At that time, although Thor had lived on Earth for a while, he still didn't know how to use Earth's mobile phones very well.
"Jane taught me. I've come to settle in New York and I even bought a house. There's a celebration party tomorrow. How about coming over for a drink?"
Thor laughed excitedly.
"Coming to settle in New York, and you bought a house? Are you and Jane married?"
The last time he saw Jane with Thor, Li Chuan knew that the two had probably gotten back together, but he hadn't expected them to move so fast.
Thor chuckled upon hearing this:
"No, although we have that intention, it's not now.
Jane is returning to the school here in New York after finishing her research in Old Bridge Town. It just so happens that Loki, that guy, ran away, and there's no point in me staying here, so I thought about living in New York with Jane."
The two communicated briefly, and Li Chuan roughly understood the situation: they weren't married, but they were living together and were in the sweet phase, unwilling to separate.
The next day, Li Chuan took Wanda to attend Thor's housewarming party.
To his surprise, there were quite a few people at the party. Besides Jane's side—Erik and Daisy—Tony also came. This wasn't unexpected, as Thor and Tony also knew each other.
What truly surprised him was that quite a few people from S.H.I.E.L.D. had come: Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Coulson.
It turned out that after the last Chitauri invasion, S.H.I.E.L.D. had been sending people to Old Bridge Town to contact Thor. S.H.I.E.L.D. had even contributed quite a bit to the house Thor bought in New York.
Precisely because of this, Thor's impression of S.H.I.E.L.D. was not as bad as it was at the beginning.
Regarding this, Li Chuan could only say that S.H.I.E.L.D. had a good plan; by winning Thor over, they had a powerful weapon to deal with HYDRA later.
"Should I call you Natalie Shostakov, or S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Natasha Romanoff?"
At the party, Wanda looked at Black Widow, looking very unhappy.
Ever since she saw the video of Natasha fighting Chitauri Soldiers on the news last year, she had learned from Li Chuan that her good friend Natalie was actually a S.H.I.E.L.D. spy.
Natasha clearly expected Wanda's attitude; after all, with Thor throwing a party, it was impossible for Li Chuan and Wanda not to show up.
She took Wanda's hand and sat on the sofa, and within a few sentences, she dissolved the unhappiness in Wanda's heart, returning her relationship with Wanda to that of good sisters once again.
Leaving Li Chuan, who was drinking with Tony nearby, unable to help but shake his head.
Actually, it was very normal; for a super spy with high intelligence and emotional intelligence like Natasha, handling a naive sweetheart like his wife Wanda was really not too difficult.
He had sort of guessed this result long ago.
However, he didn't care. He liked Wanda's simplicity and kindness. If she were really the type like Natasha, given his personality, he wouldn't like her at all.
"Young Master, the Extremis improvement is complete."
Just at this moment, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. Opening it to check the new message from Uncle Li, a big smile appeared on Li Chuan's face.
Having spent more than half a year, Lis Group's limb regeneration potion had already been officially released a month ago, and today, Extremis had finally been improved to a perfect, side-effect-free state.
"It seems it's about time to go check out a new World!"
