At the end of May, DC once again welcomed good weather.
Several consecutive days of sunny weather have put ordinary people in a good mood.
At the beginning of the month, three aerospace carriers were launched into space, which was quite big news.
Many people even spoke out on the Internet, indicating that this was an experiment developed by the US government to deal with cosmic enemies.
This analysis is indeed correct; this is what the US officials originally thought.
Unfortunately, Hydra doesn't think so, and wants to use them to do something similar to the Chitauri fleet.
However, the mothership left very quickly and disappeared in the sky of DC in more than ten minutes. Ordinary people in big cities around the world had no idea that they almost suffered a devastating disaster.
In the following days, news came out on the Internet that the three motherships crashed in neighboring Virginia, which made everyone unbelievable.
Many people have been criticizing the incompetence and corruption of the US government for building such a shoddy warship.
These people didn't know that the three motherships almost successfully fired at their heads, and the lethality was no less than that of the Chitauri last time.
All I can say is that knowing fewer secrets is actually a kind of happiness for ordinary people who are powerless to change the world.
On the contrary, the mood of DC bigwigs these days has nothing to do with the weather.
Congress and the White House are shrouded in a persistent low pressure.
In a national cemetery in the suburbs, Steve looked at a tombstone with a puzzled expression: "A life of justice. Colonel Nicholas J. Fury. 1951-2006."
He looked at a middle-aged African man next to him who was wearing a pullover, big sunglasses, a big gold chain and a small watch.
With a strange and handsome African face, Nick Fury turned around and stretched out his hand: "I'm going to Europe. The Hydra there is living too comfortably. So they really won't come to help me?"
Steve shook his head and stretched out his hand to shake his. "I... have something else to do."
Nick Fury didn't care and tilted his head towards the tombstone: "If anyone asks you about me, let him come here to find me."
Steve remained silent and watched Nick Fury, who looked at least twenty years younger, leave.
"He's so nice to you. That's the politest thing he's ever said." A female voice sounded not far away.
Steve turned his head and found that it was a very ordinary white woman, only her figure was slightly familiar.
But he had seen this face before, the face that came with Natasha's nano armor.
He smiled and greeted him: "Are you sure? He was not polite to a certain big boss?"
Natasha was speechless: That might also include Batman—of course he has to be called the Dark Knight now.
Steve had no intention of continuing the topic, so he asked, "You're not with him?"
Natasha shook her head. "It's too unsafe for a living person to follow a dead person. And my identity has been exposed. I have to get a new one, which will take some time. It's just right for me to take a long vacation."
As she spoke, she took out a document from her bag: "This is the information you want, File No. 17. I got it from some old friends in Kiev."
Steve took the document and remained silent.
Natasha: "How about a date with the nurse in exchange?"
Steve: “She’s not a nurse.”
Natasha: "You're not an agent anymore."
…
After a moment, Natasha left with a word of caution.
Walking in the cemetery separated by green trees and grass, she raised her head slightly, and the quiet light and shadow flowed over her body, just like the years she spent as an agent, which passed in a flash.
"Wow, beautiful lady, you seem to be in a bad mood." A voice came from the side.
She turned her head and found a young white man with ordinary looks leaning against a big tree nearby, looking at her with a smile.
Natasha: "Who are you?"
Luke: "We haven't seen each other for more than ten days. I was working in the south at that time."
He made a shooting gesture with his hand.
Natasha gave a slightly awkward and alert smile, just like an ordinary person would when meeting a psychopath: "Sorry, you got the wrong person."
Luke chuckled, "Let's go, the boss is looking for you."
Natasha paused, hesitated for a moment, and followed him.
Not long after, Natasha "met" the boss in an ordinary suburban house.
The appearance of the big boss who sells everything is no secret, so the possibility of being impersonated is very high.
But after the boss casually summoned out the "Black Widow Armor" and asked her to put it on and feel it, Natasha was 100% sure that the boss was himself.
This skill of taking things out of thin air is the boss's signature ability.
Relying on this ability, the boss made a huge fortune from the Chitauri during the New York War in front of everyone, making many people hate him.
Another half an hour later, Natasha was sitting alone in the room in a daze. The boss had disappeared from the sofa on the side.
Black Widow felt confused at this moment.
Now, she also owes the boss a thousand points.
This debt can be offset by technology, resources, and intelligence, or you can accept the commission from a big boss and earn points to repay it.
If she wanted, she could even ask Tony to pay for her and "solve" the debt.
It’s up to her which one she chooses and how long it takes, as long as she doesn’t default on her debt.
According to the boss, Natasha has been promoted to "important partner".
From now on, she can publish and accept commissions from the boss on a limited basis, and purchase some common products in limited quantities.
Once the transactions between the two parties continue and the relationship deepens, they can be upgraded to "friendly partners."
At that time, she could freely issue commissions to the big guys, buy ordinary products at will, and buy special products in limited quantities.
At her consultation, the boss explained the level of "partner".
Tony, Batman and the boss are "strategic partners" and can publish and accept commissions and buy and sell products without any restrictions.
Of course, the premise is that both parties are willing, and "partner" can explain everything.
Only those who get along well can be called partners. If not, we can just go our separate ways.
If there is no such rule, then this rule is actually similar to the “ordinary member → V member → super V member” of some websites.
However, the big guys are definitely not interested in coming up with any super VV or super VVV membership.
But after Natasha thought about it for a moment, she realized that this rule was not a good thing.
Because the simpler the grading, the greater the gap between the three levels, and it will be difficult to upgrade the level.
Perhaps most of the "customers" will be "important partners" to the bosses for their entire lives.
Generally speaking, the reason why something is forcibly prefixed with "important" is most likely because it is not important.
The existence of the word "important" is simply to give others a little face and psychological comfort.
After all, in this system, “important” is not as important as “friendly”.
So “important” people are not necessarily your friends.
Natasha also heard some news about Batman from Tony.
She knew very well that friendship with the boss was the most important factor in the "partnership".
As for the highest-level "strategic partners", there are only two people, Iron Man and Batman, which obviously means they are the only ones in the same league.
It will probably be difficult for others to upgrade to this level in a short period of time.
