Location: Times Square, Country M

"Task 1: Survive for 7 days and obtain at least 300 Nightmare Points before the mission ends."

"Task 2: Join any faction."

"Mission 3: Eliminate enemy faction participants (0/2)."

"Quest completion reward: 700 Nightmare Points."

"Beep beep beep!"

The words "Nightmare Space" spread out from the huge electronic screen in front of them, and the blaring of loudspeakers immediately pulled Lin Feng and Si Zang out of the illusory, noisy scene and threw them into the bustling crowd.

In an instant, the two were both drawn to the long-lost urban atmosphere and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Whatever, I almost thought I wasn't a modern person anymore."

Lin Feng nodded in agreement, saying, "It feels familiar."

"Sure enough, once you get used to vegetarian food, you can't help but crave some meat..." Just as he was remarking, Si Zang's strange words made Lin Feng realize that the other's gaze had naturally drifted to a group of blonde girls in short skirts.

Seeing this, Lin Feng immediately composed himself and was about to pull Si Zang away when he heard a new complaint: "Although I haven't been abroad in real life, this place is indeed just as my master said. Without the filter of movies, it's dirty where it should be dirty, messy where it should be messy, and the zebra crossings haven't been patched up. It's definitely not as clean as the props team."

Lin Feng chuckled and joked, "The real center of the world is in the bank."

Si Zang withdrew his gaze and said with amusement, "It's just a joke. For the people who own this place, the only valuable thing is the name 'Times Square.' As for those fools... tsk tsk."

"Never mind, what's the use of saying all this? Let me tell you what I found out from my senior brother."

Si Zang no longer lingered on the bustling surroundings, turned around and led Lin Feng along the street toward a less crowded area: "As our strength increases, when we enter worlds with characters like supervisors or guardians, there is a certain chance of attracting their attention. Therefore, we need some participants with the 'Grace' attribute to provide concealment of their identities. If not, we need some special items to shield our aura."

Gu Yi, Lin Feng immediately thought of that bald man.

"I have already done both of these things. The clothes you are wearing are the result of my research. They provide perfect concealment within the Earth level. In addition, you can quickly change your appearance when entering the workshop area and various mission worlds, so you no longer have to worry about changing clothes."

Lin Feng nodded. After putting it on, he tested it out briefly. Although it didn't have a very strong defensive function, the demonic power underwent a certain inertial transformation after being attacked, which pleased him more than simple defensive equipment.

"Then there's the Gundam we just talked about. To put it simply, can the energy inside your body reach the speed of light?"

"No," Lin Feng replied.

"That's simple then. Think about it, can you cut through armor that can withstand a beam saber? And can a mage's flames really melt a space mech so easily?" Si Zang said quietly, "Let alone ignoring the outer layer of hundreds of tank-piercing rounds, so never underestimate the world of technology..."

Lin Feng became more serious and was about to nod when Si Zang suddenly leaned over and said with a strange expression, "Of course, I'm talking about the technological world... not here."

"Um..."

With a thought, Lin Feng's eyes twitched as he answered.

The technology in the Marvel universe largely relies on special materials, commonly known as "black technology." Compared to some more legitimate technological worlds, there is a significant gap between the two.

Especially... this technological world obsessed with melee combat.

In reality, never underestimate any enemy because you have gained power, nor should you consider yourself superior because of your power.

"By the way, how much longer will the Ghost Lady take?" Si Zang suddenly remembered what had just happened. Before entering this world, Hong Linggui had not yet finished devouring and was temporarily sent to the Ghost Realm to wait.

"It depends. If there are any problems, I will help her finish them immediately."

As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, a screeching sound of brakes came from ahead, and the two of them turned their gazes toward the S.H.I.E.L.D. convoy that was crossing the street in the distance.

Following the sound of brakes, the four auras that had appeared in this world with them became unusually active.

They were all teleported to the vicinity of the square, very close by.

"hey-hey."

Seeing everything that was happening, Si Zang's lips curled up: "Whatever, I'm relying on you. If a fight breaks out later, just keep an eye on the one who's laughing the most!"

Forced Task Push Scroll (1500): Can push the current task world to the target participant's match list, replacing any of the other party's match worlds.

Si Zang's calculations were spot on. He was certain that those two wouldn't give up on this mission world, not only because they could easily obtain the Hulk serum, but also because he had overheard what they were saying in the last mission world.

"They're here."

A cold wind swept through the air, and a black-clad man standing on the frost, like an ice king, froze everything on the street, blowing out an even more biting cold current.

Beside him was a cyberpunk-style woman with clearly defined artificial skin on her face, wearing a glossy black combat suit, with layers of partitions around her waist and abdomen that looked like worms wriggling, and her hands were energy gauntlets that glowed with layers of crimson light.

After the cold snap, a rapidly flowing light of energy appeared beneath the mechanical seams on the woman's face, instantly teleporting her to a humanoid dinosaur with steel teeth.

“Dinosaur genetic modification, from the interstellar dinosaur world, with a brutal will. Watch out for his mouth, my Weng Jinchui got a bite out of him…” Si Zang finished introducing the humanoid dinosaur, then pointed to the man standing behind the dinosaur.

A man wearing a white shirt and a suit vest, with rotting flesh at the corners of his mouth that curls backward and blue light emanating from his eyes.

“Zombie modification, willpower attribute maniacal laughter, you know, kill him to death.” Si Zang hooked his arm around Lin Feng’s shoulder and cried, “Brother, you have to help me, he almost made me never see you again.”

"Wait a minute." Lin Feng agreed while looking for a safe place. "It's not too late to make a move after we've finished fighting."

"Hehe." Si Zang immediately chuckled to himself; he understood.

The two hid in a clothing hall. Lin Feng observed the outside world through the increasingly thick ice layer on the window, and also glanced at their mission before releasing Ironclad 99.

"Hacked into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s database and entered our information as Hydra elite agents."

"Huh?" Shizang's ears twitched, and he immediately saw the prompt that appeared in front of him.

"Task 2: Join any faction. (Completed)"

"Wonderful!" Si Zang couldn't help but exclaim. S.H.I.E.L.D. all said we were Hydra, so who would say we weren't? Even the Hydra agents lurking within S.H.I.E.L.D. wouldn't dare to say we weren't.

Ironclad 99 alerted: "Commander, three data streams have been detected attempting to seize control of the surrounding surveillance equipment."

"Ignore it and expose our data to S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Yes, Commander."

Ironclad 99 carried out Lin Feng's orders, and the battle outside reached a small climax at this moment. The street was completely transformed into an ice and snow world controlled by that man, blocking all those who tried to enter this world.

Upon closer inspection, strange patterns appeared on the remaining icicles all around. The concrete walls, the S.H.I.E.L.D. car, and even the dinosaur's skin were easily pierced by the icicles.

"Evenly matched, tsk tsk, no, I'm getting a little itchy." Si Zang picked up the Golden Hammer, gave it a light tap, and the hammer began to spin rapidly.

Whoosh!

In the instant before anyone noticed, Weng Jinchui transformed into a streak of light and instantly struck the dinosaur-man.
