A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 60: Aren't Winter Soldiers meant to be used?
It can improve physical condition and give one superhuman strength.

Although there is no clear standard, Li Wei believes that this is already very rare.

After all, anything that can improve one's physical condition is an extremely rare treasure in any world.

Li Wei even had a suspicion that the "person" mentioned in the Titan Elixir, who possessed superhuman abilities, might not necessarily refer to an Earthling.

Rather, they are very likely humans from Azeroth.

Anyone who has played the game and knows a little about the history of Azeroth knows this.

The humans of Azeroth are not the same species as the humans of Earth.

It was a species created by the Titans, the Vrykul, who were four or five meters tall, and which had degenerated into this species.

But even degenerated species possess strength and physique that are far beyond what humans can match.

It's not that Li Wei is belittling Earthlings or himself.

That's just how it's designed.

After all, only with such a powerful physique could one have the strength to fight against orcs and trolls whose average height exceeds two meters.

Therefore, Li Wei has reason to believe that an ordinary, trained Azerothian infantryman would probably have a physique similar to that of a super soldier like the Winter Soldier.

After drinking the Titan Elixir, he should be at least a bit stronger than an ordinary soldier of Azeroth, right?

Therefore, Li Wei's statement that the Titan Elixir is as effective as the Super Soldier Elixir might be a rather conservative estimate.

What? Captain America?

The concept of a 50/50 split is a conceptual one, and you can never understand it using common sense.

“The materials you mentioned are indeed quite valuable, but it’s not a big problem. Money talks. With a little money and time, we can get them!” Tony had Jarvis check the materials Levi mentioned and quickly replied, “How many do you need?”

These two rare and protected plants were previously beyond the reach of Li Wei's vast wealth.

But for someone as wealthy as Tony, it's not a big problem.

The problem is just that it costs a little more money.

“Underground orchids need complete flowers, while Welwitschia mirabilis needs complete true leaves. The ratio of the two is 1 to 7… One set of materials can make one or two bottles, and considering the probability of failure, you need at least three sets of materials… But seriously, the more of this stuff, the better, isn’t it?” Levi said, raising an eyebrow at Tony.

He didn't believe that Tony would be content with just one bottle of something this good.

Besides himself, don't forget about Chili Pepper and his future children...

Li Wei felt the same way; making more of this stuff and keeping it would never be a loss.

“You’re right. I’ll collect as many as possible while ensuring these plants don’t go extinct… I can also spend more money to build a plant breeding and conservation center—the plants we cultivate should be usable, right?” Tony asked Levi.

"If it's just transplantation, it should be possible, but I can't guarantee the same for something completely artificially cultivated," Li Wei said, shaking his head uncertainly.

Tony was naturally in complete agreement with the idea of ​​establishing a plant breeding and conservation center.

After all, if these plants were to become extinct, these remedies would no longer be available, which would be a loss for him.

Most of the plants in the botanical garden were transplanted from their original habitats, so Li Wei could confirm that they would be usable after transplantation.

But he genuinely didn't know anything about artificial breeding.

The Welwitschia mirabilis is a special plant that requires more than 10 years to make a potion. It took him many attempts to figure it out – it's really about what kind of year it will appear on the minimap.

Li Wei himself is still in the exploratory stage regarding these secondary professions. There's no mention of cultivating these rare herbs in the game.

He was indeed somewhat worried that the effects of these herbs, cultivated artificially, might change, just like those grown artificially.

But he himself didn't have the time or money to try it.

Now that Tony has brought it up, he is naturally happy to agree.

It has to be said that choosing Tony Stark, the world's richest man, as a partner was the best decision he ever made.

After all, these side jobs are all incredibly expensive.

Not to mention that many things are not necessarily available even with money—or more precisely, not available with a small amount of money.

With his own meager savings, he really can't make much of a splash.

At that point, we'll really have to spend all our time in the wild, gathering herbs, mining, and skinning animals.

Instead of what we have now, where we can just practice gathering occasionally and level up a bit.

The money he's spending on leveling up his skills is basically from the league's funds—in other words, it's Tony's money.

Of course, Tony's investments were not in vain.

However, the main reasons were simply because Levi understood the future trajectory, the rewards of revealing the truth about Howard's death, and the investment in future global crises.

But when Levi actually showed the Titan Elixir to Tony...

He couldn't help but think to himself, "It smells so good!"

After all, no matter how advanced the Iron Man suit is, his fragile body is Iron Man's biggest weakness, which is undeniable.

But now, this weakness is about to be remedied.

“I understand. These things will be delivered as soon as possible, but even at the fastest speed, it will still take quite a while…” Tony nodded. “A slight delay in this plan shouldn’t affect it, right?”

“Why wait? The Titan Potion is just a backup option. The first option is still the dragon bones in the Hand’s hands. We don’t need to take action ourselves. Five Winter Soldiers are enough to give the Hand a shock!” Li Wei said.

Daredevil and Erica are simply people with more acute senses and more refined martial arts skills than ordinary people.

Essentially, they still belong to the category of normal humans—of course, it's a different story after they become Black Sky.

Even with such a combination, they were able to fight each other so hard that they couldn't manage both ends.

Livy didn’t believe that five Winter Soldiers could be worse than these two, given that they were prepared and had a premeditated plan.
Not to mention, there's a tactical expert like Frank as the commander.

Just like in the DC universe, nobody wants to challenge Batman to a fight.

In the Marvel Universe, most superheroes are unwilling to challenge the Punisher to a duel.

Although the Punisher doesn't possess the formidable scientific research capabilities of his grandfather, the various tactical traps he sets up can still cause immense trouble for those extraordinary superheroes.

Not to mention, Frank now has Tony, a tech fanatic who's not much different from his grandfather, behind him.

And Li Wei, who has an external cheat code, serves as his backing.

“You’re right, these Winter Soldiers are a waste of their time!” Since he didn’t have to take any risks himself, Tony naturally had no reason to refuse.
