Lu Mingfei doesn't want to be a superhero

“I have to go, I have other things to take care of,” Fury said.

Whether it was her imagination or not, Natasha could hear the deep weariness in his voice, even though it was very calm.

……

Although Fury left, Natasha stayed on.

This is part of the "expense" Tony paid for "buying" Howard's stuff.

Natasha was locked out, and now only Tony and Lu Mingfei were inside.

"What conditions did you discuss?" Lu Mingfei asked curiously.

“It’s nothing. Nick Fury wanted to start a superhero group called the Avengers and invited me to join,” Tony said. “He also wanted you to join, but I told him you’re underage and told him to get lost.”

"So you joined?"

Two or three years ago, Lu Mingfei might have really been eager to join, but now he has no interest in being a superhero.

Why not be a superhero and make some money to eat, drink, have fun, and enjoy life?

“I didn’t have one either, but I promised him I could be a consultant,” Tony said.

"What do you mean?" Lu Mingfei asked.

“I’ll work if I want to, and I won’t work if I don’t want to,” Tony said.

"That sounds pretty good. By the way, who's on this team right now? Can you tell me?" Lu Mingfei asked curiously.

“Currently… I’m the only advisor. Fury said he’s still looking for other members,” Tony said.

"Then wouldn't your position as an advisor be completely ignored?" Lu Mingfei complained.

“That’s a good thing,” Tony shrugged. “According to Fury, the Avengers are only needed when there’s a major disaster that a single superhero can’t handle.”

"Sounds like a mule saving the world for free," Lu Mingfei quipped.

“That’s why I don’t recommend you join,” Tony said. “I’m responsible for the weapons I’ve sold before, but you don’t owe anyone anything.”

“Hmm…” Lu Mingfei’s expression changed slightly. “Tony, I have to go. My energy is about to run out.”

Tony wasn't surprised. Lu Mingfei had said before that he had come in a hurry and his energy was only enough to last until after his birthday.

“But before I leave, there’s something I need to remind you,” Lu Mingfei said. “That Natalie, her real name is Natasha Romanov, right?”

Tony nodded.

Lu Mingfei continued, "You should know that I joined the school's literary society back then in order to pursue Chen Wenwen..."

"Why is it Chen Wenwen again!" Tony felt like he was about to develop PTSD from this name.

“I’m being serious. After I joined the literary society, I read some Russian novels and learned something,” Lu Mingfei said earnestly. “Russian surnames are different for men and women. Simply put, the same surname is spelled and pronounced differently for men and women.”

“In Russia, Romanov is a surname used only by men; women should use Romanova,” Lu Mingfei said seriously.

"So you're saying her name is fake too?" Tony said.

“Perhaps it’s worse,” Lu Mingfei said seriously.

“How much worse could it get? It can’t be that she’s actually a man and therefore has the last name Romanov…” Tony stopped abruptly.

Lu Mingfei nodded silently.

“But she looks like a woman no matter how you look at it, and these naming rules aren’t completely fixed or mandatory, are they? What if she’s just a bit individualistic?” Tony licked his lips.

“With modern technology, it wouldn’t be difficult to slightly change her appearance, would it?” Lu Mingfei said leisurely. “Of course, this is just my guess. It’s also possible that, as you said, she’s just more individualistic.”

Tony remembered that not long ago he had accepted the wine and watch from Natasha, and goosebumps immediately rose on his skin. He subconsciously rubbed his arms.

"I'm going back now, Tony. Goodbye." Lu Mingfei waved to Tony and disappeared.

Tony rubbed his hands together, reassured himself, and walked out of the room.

“Mr. Stark”.

Natasha, who is still nominally Tony's assistant, walked over with long legs and a charming demeanor that could captivate any normal man.

Tony took a step back.

Although Lu Mingfei's guess was unlikely, it was still terrifying; just thinking about Tony made his scalp tingle.

So, meeting Natasha's questioning gaze, Tony decisively said, "You're fired."

Natasha: ? ? ?

Chapter 52. The Beautiful Female Bandit Su Xiaoqiang

That evening, in Lu Mingfei's room at the Regent Hotel.

His figure appeared out of thin air, and Lu Mingfei stretched lazily.

Lu Mingfei did not immediately call Angers to tell him that he wanted to join Kassel College.

According to Tony, since Angers had already told him that there would be admissions interviews for Kassel College in May, it meant that these people were not in a hurry. At least until May, if Lu Mingfei did not agree to join, they probably wouldn't take any action.

Therefore, Lu Mingfei plans to wait until his energy is restored enough to travel through time again before contacting Angers to tell him that he is willing to join Kassel College.

The reason is simple: if Kassel College raises any unexpected conditions or encounters any unforeseen circumstances, he can immediately discuss it with Tony.

Having made up his mind, Lu Mingfei walked to the computer, sat down, and turned it on.

When he was at Tony's house earlier, he took advantage of Tony locking himself in the lab to research new batteries and found a place to sleep, so even though it was night, he wasn't sleepy at all.

Fortunately, the room Uncle Su booked for him was very luxurious and even had a computer, so he could play games to pass the time.

After turning on his computer, Lu Mingfei first opened QQ, intending to look in the groups for people willing to play StarCraft with him.

However, apart from those who are extremely confident, most group members don't like playing StarCraft with him. After all, even using the red dot, Lu Mingfei is a top-tier player in the channel, and most people have no chance of winning against him, so naturally they won't come looking for trouble.

Masters are lonely.

But to his surprise, after logging into QQ, Su Xiaoqiang's avatar in his friend list suddenly shook and sent him a message.

"Are you there?"

What a coincidence! I wasn't online if you had sent it a little earlier.

While mentally complaining, Lu Mingfei replied, "Yeah, what's up?"

Su Xiaoqiang sent me a webpage link with the caption: "Take a look and see if this is you?"

Lu Mingfei clicked the link, which led to a video.

The video is set at night in a relatively bustling area of ​​the city. In the background, you can see many elaborately decorated shops and signs. Under the lights, a group of beautiful girls are gathered around a flower bed.

A tall, slender young man sat on the flower bed, a violin resting on his left shoulder, and beautiful music flowed from the strings. There were many coins of different denominations on the flower bed.

The boy's bangs hung down from his forehead, and because it was nighttime, his face was somewhat blurred under the lamplight, so only his long, slender fingers could be seen playing the violin.

"Damn it, how come I didn't know I could take such artistic pictures?" Lu Mingfei was full of surprise.

He reopened the chat window and replied to Su Xiaoqiang: "It's me."

"You even went to the streets to perform?" Su Xiaoqiang asked.

Lu Mingfei thought for a moment and typed a reply: "I did some work for a while to supplement my family's income, and that's probably when the photos were taken."

"Congratulations, you're famous now."

Su Xiaoqiang sent Lu Mingfei a message that left him completely baffled.

"What do you mean?"

"It means exactly what it says. Your video went viral online. I enrolled in a violin class before, and I'm still in contact with my teacher. She sent me this video."

Upon seeing the message from Su Xiaoqiang, Lu Mingfei was startled: "Huh?"

"She said the boy in the video must be very talented. Although he looks young, he is already better than many professional violinists."

Lu Mingfei: "Holy crap! Am I going to get photographed by paparazzi?"

"You're dreaming! You're just a little bit famous for a short time; people will forget about you in a couple of days." Su Xiaoqiang's message was full of disdain.

"That's good, as long as we don't get recognized." Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief.

And so, he started chatting with Su Xiaoqiang, talking about everything under the sun, occasionally exchanging a few sarcastic remarks, and time passed by without them even realizing it.

When Su Xiaoqiang sent the message, "It's getting late, I'm going to bed. Little Lu, you wait, I'll deal with you tomorrow!"

Lu Mingfei retorted directly, "Little Fairy, have you been watching too many palace dramas?"

Then I realized it was indeed late at night.

……

The next day.

Because Lu Mingfei chose to go to Tony's World on Saturday night, he didn't return until Sunday. After a good night's sleep, he had to go to school.

Stepping into the classroom, Lu Mingfei felt much more comfortable.

After Angers put on a "big show" for him, Lu Mingfei suddenly became the focus of the school, and wherever he went, he was given all sorts of strange looks by other students.

Fortunately, after a while, everyone quickly forgot about it. Although the legend of Lu Mingfei still circulated in the school, it was already a thing of the past, and the hype had died down.

Sure enough, when he walked into the classroom, the people staring at him changed from the whole class at the beginning of the semester to a few female classmates.

Although I don't know why it's mostly girls looking at me, it's a good thing that fewer and fewer people are staring at me.

Lu Mingfei sat in his seat. His deskmate was a math whiz who had gone to another city to participate in a math competition. It was said that the top three students would be specially admitted to those prestigious universities.

Lu Mingfei is not interested in math competitions; he is now more interested in computer science, both software and hardware—after all, Jarvis is really too useful.

In fact, he had already learned some things from Tony in Tony's world, but at that time his focus was still on the research and development of metallurgical technology.

Now that he has some free time, he plans to buy some computer-related books after school and study on his own.

Just as Lu Mingfei was deciding which specific areas of study to buy first, an unexpected girl walked over.

"Liu Miaomiao?" Lu Mingfei looked at the girl who was walking over.

Liu Miaomiao is a famous piano beauty in her class, no, in the whole school. It is said that she started learning piano from a young age. Ever since Chu Zihang graduated, Liu Miaomiao's piano solo has been a regular feature at every school party - when Chu Zihang was in school, his regular feature at the parties was his cello solo.
