Building a steel suit or a terrifying fighter mech?
These two options lingered in Jackson Chen's mind.
Like a suit, there was an iron lump similar to Iron Man's, fitting like a coat on his body. Layer upon layer, connected with sophisticated instrument lines, and then installed with various propulsion and firepower systems.
To be honest, Jackson was not very used to it.
It even felt a little bulky!
Being Chinese, if he wore a veil or a layer of inner armor, he could barely accept it, but being enclosed in an iron knot made him unusually uncomfortable. It was a matter of habit.
After much thought, Jackson gave up the idea of putting himself in a battle suit.
He then glanced at the mountain of Adamantium alloys and shook his head.
Injecting Adamantium alloy is risky, and the pain is simply beyond human endurance!
Wolverine survived because of his strong self-healing ability, allowing his entire skeleton to be transformed into Adamantium.
Anyone else? They'd be long dead!
Jackson didn't want to turn into a monster or even die in the process of transformation.
As for mechs...
They could be big or small, and using Vibranium and Adamantium to create a mech hundreds of meters high, like the Jaegers in Pacific Rim, would take too much time. Even if he used all the Vibranium and Adamantium he had, the resource and time costs would be enormous.
Although, if built, it would be practically invincible. The materials would be pure Vibranium and Adamantium, making it like Captain America's shield on a massive scale. Very few things could break through Vibranium's defenses!
But such a project...
Jackson shook his head. Right now, he needed to focus on other matters and had no time to build a mech that large. He set the idea aside.
A smaller mech, almost no different from a battle suit, didn't feel like it was worth the effort either.
Jackson wasn't very keen on either method to enhance his strength.
In his warehouse, he had some research items, and he could even create a serum similar to the one used by Captain America.
But Jackson wasn't interested in that for now. As a Chinese man, he valued agility and precision over brute strength.
He didn't want to become a hulking figure like Captain America, or even the Hulk.
Jackson's physique was already well-proportioned and natural. If he bulked up further, he'd turn into a muscle-bound giant.
As Jackson pondered, an image flickered on a screen in front of his console.
It was the next plan of action for the Avengers, information he had eavesdropped on earlier.
"Guys, I think it's time to expand our alliance!"
"We need new power!"
Iron Man's eyes sparkled with hope as he began laying out their plan.
The Avengers started naming potential recruits, the atmosphere growing more energetic.
Jackson stroked his chin, listening with interest: "Unite all the superpowers?"
"Interesting. The game's difficulty is finally increasing slightly."
"Otherwise, it's no fun."
Still, Jackson didn't underestimate his opponents.
He wasn't yet invincible.
He began pacing slowly, thinking of countermeasures.
In this world, where both mutants and Marvel superheroes existed, he had to be more careful.
These people had formidable abilities, and their teamwork could yield devastating results.
People like Ant-Man and Wasp, who could shrink and grow, or Quicksilver, whose speed approached the speed of light.
The Scarlet Witch's manipulation powers...
Facing them head-on, even with his current strength, still posed some risks.
This time, Jackson was up against more than just Captain America. He was facing a group of superpowered individuals, making the challenge far more difficult than before.
Jackson felt a spark of excitement as a smile slowly spread across his face, contemplating the challenge.
Taking down a group of superheroes would be far more rewarding than defeating Captain America.
The system's rating and rewards would be much richer, too!
Jackson sat slowly on the sofa, his fingers tapping rhythmically.
His biggest advantage now was that no one had seen his true face. Whether blowing up the Avengers' base or during the last bank raid, he had only shown his eyes and the corners of his mouth. The rest remained shrouded in darkness.
Jackson Chen often disguised himself as an Indian man.
In other words, even if these superheroes faced him directly, they might not recognize him.
So, for the time being, Jackson felt very safe. His ordinary actions were hardly hindered.
Building mechs or improving his strength, however, was still a source of frustration—not because he didn't have the means, but because he didn't have the time. Within a month, he planned to launch a major setup all over New York, leaving little time to tinker in his basement.
At that moment, while watching Iron Man in the video, a flash of inspiration struck Jackson.
Even though he didn't like wearing battle suits, why not create mechanical armor that operated automatically?
All he needed was a core system like "Jarvis"!
That way, he could build equipment in his warehouse that would bolster his survivability and strength even when he wasn't present. The armor could assist him at any time, whether for committing crimes or providing support in any situation.
The more time he had, the more mechs he could produce!
Even building that towering 100-meter mech could become a reality in the future!
It was perfect.
Without wasting time, Jackson went straight to the console, pulling up Iron Man's design from the network.
He quickly began making improvements, modifying the design based on the original.
Jackson's slender fingers danced across the console, opening dialogue boxes one after another, as light green virtual projections began to materialize on either side of him. Armor models were scanned and re-scanned.
Finally, after a long while, a voice devoid of emotion emanated from the console.
"Dear host, Nyx is happy to serve you."
Jackson paused, and a smile curled on his lips.
Research and development were complete!
