Chapter 56: Meeting Dr. Banner

After Coulson heard what Bruce said, he instinctively frowned a little, feeling very surprised. To him, Bruce was just an ordinary human, no matter how ‘strong’ he was, he was nothing but cannon fodder at the end of the day.

"Coulson, Bruce is very strong. I agree with him, we should let him join us in performing missions together.” The Captain said. He knew Bruce well enough, in the previous spar they had, he actually hadn’t had an advantage despite being at his peak and using most of his strength.

After hearing Captain America speak up for him, Coulson was surprised once again. He knew Captain America, and he also knew that the Captain was not one to give his judgement on others easily.

“Okay Bruce, you can do this mission alongside Captain America.” Since Captain America supported Bruce, It was only natural that Coulson wouldn’t refuse. And besides that, he also had a decent grasp of Bruce’s abilities and strength.

The Black Widow who was driving the jet flashed a smile. She was now very interested in Bruce.

Time gradually passed bit by bit as the trio continued their small talk.

They had been talking for a long time already when Black Widow’s voice was heard,

"we will arrive soon, get ready. "

Bruce, the Captain and Coulson who were standing in the cockpit, all looked down. They saw a huge ship that resembled an Iron monster, looking very impressive, even for a S.H.I.E.L.D. base.

There were a lot of Quinjets on it, the whole ship in the vast sea gave people an incomparable feeling. Of course, that was only so for ordinary people.

As Bruce had already known what It really was, a secret base and facility belonging to S.H.I.E.L.D. – a Helicarrier.

Yet despite already knowing about It’s existence and even having seen It in the movies, he was still in awe when he saw It for himself, up close and personal.

Soon afterwards, the plane landed. Captain America and co. all stepped out of the plane and stared at the spectacular scene before them.

Meanwhile, on the deck of the Helicarrier, a man glanced at his surroundings with a little surprise. But despite the surprise, the man was on full alert, and he seemed to be ready to deal with anything that was thrown at him, Quinjets or otherwise.

After hearing the roar of the plane landing, he turned back and looked at Captain America and co.

“Hello doctor, Coulson had told me that you would come,” Captain America said with some surprise as he looked at the person in front of him.

“Yes Captain, he also told me the same thing,” the man said with a smile on his face. Yet the caution in his eyes remained, and could be seen by anyone.

Bruce stood aside with a gleam in his eyes. After officially entering the Avengers’s plot, he would see the most powerful superheroes of the first generation gradually appear before his eyes, one by one.

And currently in front of him, stood the green giant, the Hulk himself. Without hesitating, he directly walked up to him as he had done on a lot of different occasions now.

“Hello doctor, my name is Bruce Lite.”

The Hulk, also known as Dr. Banner, nodded his head in response and politely extended his hand as well.

"Hello, Mr. Lite."

As they were both named Bruce, he decided to refer to Bruce as Mr. Lite, in order to not stir up confusion.

And just like all the other times, right when their hands touched together, Dr. Banner’s information immediately popped up in Bruce’s mind.

——

——

The Hulk only had four abilities on him, but they could all be categorized as superpowers that were terrifyingly powerful. Especially the Hulk’s Rage ability, that was Dr. Banner’s signature ability as well as where most of his strength came from.

The more angry the Hulk was, the more powerful he got. In fact, if the Hulk was in one of his great frenzies, It would not be very difficult for him to destroy an entire city.

What made the Hulk really scary however, was that his ability Hulk’s Rage and Hulk’s Power had a direct connotation. If he wanted to strike in his most powerful form, he had to get that additional strength from his Hulk’s Rage ability.

A good example of this would be the plot of the Avengers during the Age of Ultron, where Hulk was not angry enough and he was suppressed by a Hulkbuster. But if Hulk was angry enough, he could easily deal with the Hulkbuster.

Unfortunately for Bruce, he didn’t have enough energy value for any of his abilities, at least not yet. This made him look forward to this First New York War even more. Only when the fighting began would he be able to accumulate energy value.

Currently, Bruce’s biggest problem was that he was unable to download Hulk’s most powerful abilities, It was pretty tragic actually.

But fortunately for him, the Regeneration ability that the Hulk had, hadn’t required energy value.

Yet although the Hulk’s Regeneration ability was also very powerful, It was not among his best abilities, so the system required data, and not energy value for It.

It was akin to an extremely upgraded version of his Self-healing ability. In fact, according to what Bruce knew, this ability’s regeneration power was so strong that It could even almost regenerate limbs.

It was very close to being an equal to Wolverine and Deadpool’s regeneration powers. Although the only catch, was that the ability required a lot of energy to use.

But if Bruce obtained this ability, even if he somehow lost his heart oneday, he could still keep his life. He would become very hard to kill, unless he was directly split apart into pieces.

As for the other abilities Hulk had, all Bruce could do was accumulate enough energy value and come back for them later on.

Bruce was feeling very helpless, It was like there was a mountain of gold in front of him, but he just couldn’t get it yet.

Regardless of that, one day, sooner or later, whether it be Hulk’s abilities or Iron Man’s abilities, he would download them all and become the strongest.

Immediately afterwards, Bruce decided to download the Regeneration ability, which required a whopping 1,000 GB!

Regardless of that, he could finish it within five minutes with the speedup function.

"Beep, connection successful.”

"Beep, Regeneration ability, size 1,000gb, download initializing.”

"Beep, current download speed is 5 mb/s.(Valid within 20 meters)”

Without any hesitation, Bruce used up one million of his funds and directly purchased the 1,000 x speedup.

"Bruce, we have other work to do, let's go first."

Just as Bruce was finished connecting however, Coulson’s voice was heard. This came as a big surprise to Bruce, as he had to stay within 20 meters of Dr. Banner for the next four minutes.

Otherwise, the connection would brake and the consequences were that the one million he used would have been for nothing.

"Yes, Mr. Coulson." Bruce said, as he could not start behaving weird in front of Coulson, especially not now that he was using the system’s abilities.

“It was nice to meet you Dr. Banner. I would really want to stay with you and chat for a while, but It appears that I have to go.” Bruce laughed.

This made the person in question and even the Captain feel weird. Everyone knew how terrifying Dr. Banner was when he was angry, yet this guy unexpectedly wanted to stay and chat for a while longer with him?

Just how bold was Bruce?

“Mr. Lite, there’s no rush, we still have a lot of time left,” Banner said, not doubting Bruce in the slightest.

Afterwards, Bruce let go of Banner’s hand and left with Coulson after saying his farewells to the others.

Twenty meters. I must keep within twenty meters!

Although he still had a lot of money left over, there were still a lot of superheroes that he had not met yet. So keeping that in mind, he had to leave some leeway for himself.

But now that Coulson had called for him to go, he had to think of something to delay their leave, at least for another three minutes.
