Due to the time difference between Wakanda and New York, when Leo flew to New York two hours later, it was only 7pm in New York City.
It's winter in New York at the end of December, and the days are naturally short and the nights are long.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the sky was already dark. When Leo flew over New York, what he saw was the beautiful city of lights, which was when the city was bustling.
Leo stayed in Wakanda for a total of two weeks. Except for the love dinner carefully prepared by Natasha on the first day, which gave Leo a hot meal, Leo had bottled drinks every day for the past two weeks.
Living with packaged biscuits and bread.
Those junk foods are okay to eat once in a while, but how can they be eaten every day?
So the first thing Leo, who had always been a bitch-faced, did when he arrived in New York City was to fly to Hell's Kitchen, put away his Viper suit, found his favorite Chinese restaurant, and ordered some spicy food.
The food was served and the meal was started.
As for Bucky, who also had a confused look on his face, he could only suffer for a few more days.
Leo, who had returned from Wakanda with a full load and no sympathy for Bucky, even had the leisure to order a bottle of cold beer and enjoy it while eating and drinking.
While he was eating and drinking, suddenly a beautiful figure sat opposite him.
That hot figure made Leo subconsciously look at the wrong place.
Suddenly, Leo felt something familiar, and immediately glanced upward, and sure enough he saw Natasha's slightly cold face.
"What a coincidence!"
Leo kept talking, eating and drinking, and said hello to Natasha.
When Natasha saw Leo eating like a starving ghost reincarnated, a trace of distress flashed in Natasha's eyes, and she said softly:
"When did you come back?"
“I just ordered this table of dishes when I arrived.”
There happened to be a set of cutlery on the table. Leo pushed the cutlery towards Natasha.
"Did you just get off work? You haven't eaten yet. Come on, let's have something together."
Natasha didn't refuse, picked up the tableware, took a bite of food, chewed and swallowed, and asked:
"Why haven't you seen Teacher Bucky?"
"We found Hydra in Africa, and he went to track it down." Leo lowered his voice slightly.
Natasha's hand holding the vegetables paused, a little worried.
Leo discovered this, waved his hand and said:
"It's okay, don't worry, even Bucky and Sienna can't beat him now."
"Oh? That means you have gained a lot from your trip this time." Natasha showed interest and acted like she was all ears.
Leo wasn't going to hide it from Natasha, so he was going to tell her about his great achievements besides cheating the system.
But the restaurant was crowded, so Leo thought for a moment:
"It's not convenient for people here to talk. Let's go back and talk."
Then he stopped the waitress who was passing by,
"Pack."
Leo ordered a total of eight hard dishes. He hadn't finished eating yet, so he couldn't waste it.
Ten minutes later, Leo and Natasha entered the house.
Eric was doing homework in the room upstairs. Old Tom had gone somewhere to hang out after get off work and had not come back yet.
So Leo put the food and drinks on the table and started chatting with Natasha while eating.
About half an hour later, Leo had eaten and drank enough, and Natasha also learned the ins and outs of what had happened in Wakanda in the past two weeks, and was greatly surprised.
Especially the black panther goddess, Natasha seemed very interested and asked Leo twice: Is she beautiful?
Leo, who was vaguely guessing, rolled his eyes twice.
After finishing the meal, Leo picked his teeth with a toothpick and watched Natasha skillfully put away the garbage after the meal.
Leo had to go back to work in the laboratory building, so he stood up and left. Before leaving, he said:
"As for the heart-shaped herb, after I cultivate it in a few days, you can take one first and I will let you know then.
Also, I will design a suit for you when I have time. If you have any comments or suggestions, think about them in the next two days and then tell me."
After hearing this, Natasha felt warm in her heart and nodded silently.
Suddenly, Natasha remembered something and quickly stopped Leo and said:
"By the way, Leo, Peter has been looking for you many times in the past few days. When you couldn't get through on the phone, he asked me. You'd better go and have a look tomorrow."
Leo smiled and nodded. He could roughly guess why Peter was looking for him.
It just so happens that Peter also works at the Marvel base during the day, so it doesn't hurt to take the time to meet him tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Leo took out the Viper armor from his storage belt, changed his outfit with one click in front of Natasha, then shrunk in an instant and flew out along the crack of the door.
Natasha stared blankly at the place where Leo disappeared. After a long time, she returned to the room and prepared to wash up and go to bed.
…
Marvel Base, Erwin Laboratory Building.
Leo flew directly into the laboratory on the top floor, and Stim, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, immediately came over cordially:
"Hmm~ Master, long time no see, welcome home."
Leo took off his armor and touched Stim's head with a smile. It still had the same comfortable feeling.
Looking at Stim who was still dangling at his feet, Leo felt that he could give Stim a new upgrade by combining it with Wakanda's advanced technology.
Including this laboratory, everything should be renovated.
After all, he brought a lot of cutting-edge equipment from Wakanda's Vibranium Research Institute, and he couldn't let them lie in his storage belt gathering dust.
Those advanced holographic simulation, holographic imaging and other technologies can be applied to Stim and the inside of the laboratory.
Of course, we can’t forget the remote communication function.
In this way, when Leo is flying in the air in the future, Stim can chat with him to relieve his boredom and provide technical support.
But there is no need to rush this matter. What Leo needs to do most now is to find a large enough empty room to properly place the heart-shaped herbs dug out from Wakanda.
Because if time passes, all these herbs will wither.
Fortunately, the growth of heart-shaped herbs does not require sunlight or outdoor planting, which saves a lot of trouble.
So Leo found a large enough space on the fifth floor of Erwin's laboratory building, laid a water-proof layer, and then arranged the heart-shaped herbs with roots and soil in order, like flower pots.
Next, he took out a sufficient amount of vibranium and began to set up a "cultivation array" according to the "heart-shaped herbal cultivation experience" taught by Lilith.
Of course, the name of the cultivation array is just a matter of Lilith's translation habits. In actual practice, the precautions for this array are how far apart a certain amount of primitive vibranium should be placed in the soil where the heart-shaped herbs are cultivated.
.
Moreover, there are regular replacements on a long-term basis.
Leo worked hard for most of the night and finally got this matter done.
Then a spontaneous thought occurred to him: It was time for him to hire a gardener to take care of the heart-shaped herbs.
But in the Marvel universe, who is the best at farming?
For a moment, Leo only thought of the old farmer Zi Ya Jing, but there was no way that man would obediently help Leo farm.
"Maybe, it doesn't necessarily need a living person, just Stim?" Leo thought.
There was no suitable candidate for a while, and even using Stim would require training, so Leo put this matter aside for now.
At this time, he was a little tired, so he went to the bedroom to rest.
After about an hour and a half, Leo regained all his energy and energy.
After being strengthened by the heart-shaped herb, his recovery power has improved again, and he is one step closer to becoming a monster that does not need sleep.
