In the end, Natasha was just complaining casually.
If the bigshot really gave her back ten thousand points and asked her not to practice Qi Refinement, she wouldn't agree.
Earn an Qi Refinement skill by doing a mission? Thinking about it that way, it wasn't a loss at all.
But sometimes, it wasn't good to be too smart.
The female agent felt a little stifled after seeing through other people's tricks. She could only comfort herself. Maybe she could get some points back after a thorough inventory!
She didn't ask for much. She could at least make up for the ten thousand points … right?
Unconsciously, Natasha began to miss Batman.
That man was too straight, but he was fair when he said something. At the very least, he didn't play tricks!
At the same time, Luke, who was checking the base's assets, looked away from the screen in surprise and checked the system panel.
System: Natasha Romanov has been promoted to a one-star teammate.
She had gone from a Light Green Friendly to a Light Green Teammate. That was a huge improvement.
Could it be … that she was grateful for the points he had given her? I didn't expect you to be such a Black Widow! Luke murmured inwardly, but his lips couldn't help but curl up.
As a professional, Natasha had a high attendance rate in the Avengers, and she was also ruthless.
The people she had killed in the past few years were either agents with blood on their hands or bigshots who had committed crimes.
The points that Luke would be able to share from her in the future would probably be even higher than that of Mindy, a two-star teammate (10% for a one-star, 20% for a two-star, and 50% for a three-star).
After all, under Damon's guidance, the violent Lolita had been cultivating herself and studying hard. She rarely killed anyone, and would only cripple them at most.
…
On the third day after this talk Natasha went away.
It was her instinct to collect intelligence. With the thought that she did not want to lose her authority, she had spent the past two days looking around the base.
She had contributed to getting the base, so Luke didn't bother with her. He simply hinted to her with his ability not to reveal the existence of the base for the time being.
This Arctic base was floating and mobile.
It moved very slowly, and the process was complicated and dangerous, so it had to stay in shallow waters for a long time.
But it was indeed mobile.
Luke planned to let Phil and Tony inspect his spoils of war, as well as clean up the personnel and modify the base.
After that, the base would be moved to another place in the North Pole and become a top-secret base.
Luke had an unparalleled advantage over McAllen and the "doctor," and that was his inventory.
Such a huge base would definitely require a large amount of resources.
From time to time, Iron Mask soldiers would be sent out to fight. As a result, there was a hidden hole in the ice surface of the base, and people and supplies were transported through cabins by steel cables.
In addition, the entrance and exit of the underwater submarine were also indispensable.
Recently, in order to launch the nanoword warheads, McAllen had also obtained three long medium-range missile tubes.
Obviously, none of these were needed.
Luke had his own unique transportation method. He didn't need a bunch of iron-masked soldiers to guard him, nor did he have any plans to fire the nano worm warheads.
Therefore, the base began to undergo major changes.
The cabins were canceled, and all four submarines were stored in the storage space.
Thus, the base was separated from the outside world, becoming a completely isolated island in the sea. The personnel clean-up operation officially began.
Most of the management and researchers were single and did not need to go in and out of the base.
A small number of high-ranking personnel entered and exited the base through confidential procedures, and all of them entered and exited while unconscious.
If the surveillance wasn't strict, this base would have been exposed long ago.
After the base was remodeled and moved, the neutral yellow names and light red villains would be sent back to human society.
The big red names would all stay behind and use their brain and physical labor to atone for their crimes.
The iron-masked soldiers all had big red names with their hands stained with blood, and their brain injuries couldn't be treated.
Luke planned to adjust the control program and give most of them to Phil as coolies.
A small portion would stay behind as patrol and maintenance personnel.
This way, the base's personnel would be reduced to two-fifths of its original size, which was a little over three hundred people. The demand for supplies wouldn't be too high.
It wasn't that Luke couldn't afford more people, but that the warehouse function of the base was limited, and there was no need to waste too much.
The nanoword researchers who stayed behind would also be transferred to Space 2, and the base would gradually be replaced with a batch of suitable "candidates."
This place would become a primary production and processing center that specialized in producing low-level weapons and spare parts.
Compared with scientific research, manufacturing required a lot of space.
Smaller armor, cars, and motorboats were fine, but larger yachts and fighter jets took up too much space, and there wasn't much of a need for secrecy.
Those who could enter Space 2 were basically high-value and high-risk projects like Iron Man Armor, Life One (Blood Orchid), nanotoxins, and super soldiers.
For example, Luke had the invisible Quinjet, and SHIELD had it.
The Cobra stealth fighter had been developed by Luke himself, but it wasn't much worse than SHIELD's.
Luke wasn't interested in stuffing this kind of low-end product into his own space.
Of course, his smart kitchen in Space No.2 was a necessity, a necessity.
It was just like how no matter how high-tech the Arctic base was, as long as there were people inside, they had to eat, drink, and poop.
…
A few days later, Tony and Phil arrived at the invitation. They agreed to travel together and arrive together.
After entering through the submarine passageway, the two of them opened the visors of their armor and greeted the knights who welcomed them.
Through the exclusive tunnel, they arrived at the observation room on the top floor. After opening the external protective cover, this was the best place to view the scenery. Surrounding the transparent porthole was a shallow blue sea.
It wasn't as gorgeous and lively as the tropical ocean, but it had a peaceful and distant atmosphere.
Tony, who was used to seeing big scenes, was a little envious. "This base isn't bad. How about … I invest in it too?"
Phil also turned to look at Zhang Xuan.
Both of them knew the general situation of the Arctic base.
A mobile base in the sea could also do a lot of things.
But Tony was just saying it casually; he didn't need this base.
At best, it was a toy, and he could also refer to the relevant technology. One day, he could repair a personal item and take Pepper on a night trip in the deep sea or something.
Phil, on the other hand, really wanted this kind of base.
Compared with building a base in space, it was cheaper and more convenient to build a mobile base in the sea.
Luke didn't give them a chance to fantasize, and directly refused. "I'm going to use this place as a processing plant. If you want it, build it yourself. I'll provide the relevant technology and supplies."
Neither of them was angry at this answer.
It was indeed easy for problems to arise with mixed management, which had nothing to do with human relations. Otherwise, the three of them wouldn't be in charge of a team each.
Since Luke was willing to provide the technology, Tony's goal could be considered achieved.
Supplies? That was for Phil, the only poor person among the three.
With the technology alone, he might not be able to build a base in the sea.
As they chatted, Tony used the surveillance cameras to tour the various areas of the base, and then flipped through the construction files.
He also casually inserted a backdoor program into the base's system.
