Nick's face instantly darkened, although no one could tell.
As the king of agents, Nick can speak Chinese, but he is used to speaking English, so when he introduces himself, he uses English.
What's worse is that he understood Zhan Liu's Chinese question.
It is the basic conduct of Lao Yinbi to do what he wants. He glared at Mei who was snickering next to him, pretended not to hear, smiled and apologized in Chinese:
"I'm so sorry, I forgot, Mr. Zhan doesn't speak English."
"Then let me introduce myself again in Chinese."
"I'm from the Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Agency, or SHIELD for short. I'm Director Nick Fury. Nice to meet you."
Zhan Liu nodded slightly, but did not shake hands with Nick.
It turned out to be black braised eggs, Zhan Liu immediately remembered it.
He took one look and understood immediately that May was an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
But he didn't say anything. These external identities meant nothing to him. He was not a native and had no respect for the federal government and the Security Council.
"Hello, please come in and talk."
He extended his hand to greet the guests and invited them to go towards the living room.
Although he didn't shake hands, Nick was still very satisfied. At least his attitude was very friendly.
As for the small matter of shaking hands, as the king of secret agents, Nick certainly knows that not all countries use handshakes as a courtesy. This is just a common Western etiquette.
Therefore, Zhan Liu's failure to shake hands with him does not mean that Zhan Liu is hostile to him.
And Zhan Liu's micro-expression told Nick that there was no hostility in this man's heart.
The living room is also furnished in Chinese style, with an Eight Immortals table in the middle, a landscape hanging on the wall behind the table, a Taishi chair on each side of the table, and two rows of chairs on both sides, arranged in parallel.
The three of them entered the living room and sat down respectively as guest and host. A registered disciple came over to serve tea.
Mei respectfully stepped forward to apologize:
"I'm sorry, Master, I'm actually an agent of SHIELD..."
Zhan Liu stretched out his hand to stop her apology and said with a smile:
"When you first entered the profession, I told you that no matter where you come from, there is no distinction between education and distinction. Therefore, if you are apologizing for something as trivial as being an agent, then there is no need for it."
What he didn't say secretly was that even if Hydra came to be his disciple, he would still accept it.
"I accept you as my disciple because of who you are and because you can successfully enter the realm of electric current promotion within three months."
"As for your identity, it doesn't matter."
"You have to remember that you will become a Martial God in the future. These external things are just like the hair on a person's body, so you don't need to care."
Zhan Liu was so reasonable, which made Nick more confident in the following conversation.
"Mr. Zhan, our SHIELD is an organization dedicated to protecting the earth. We have the responsibility to supervise and manage all alien life that may harm the earth."
When Nick spoke, he was very cautious and his words were polite. He was worried that Zhan Liu would fall out after hearing this.
He has had many interactions with alien life, and no matter what kind of life it is, he will resent being supervised.
Especially beings from some higher worlds cannot tolerate being supervised by a group of "bugs", and it is normal for them to fall out on the spot and take action.
But fortunately, Zhan Liu didn't care at all about this.
"Oh, don't worry about this. I have no interest in money or power in the world. Now I just want to promote the Ultimate Boundless Sect and cultivate as many martial gods as possible."
Nick felt relieved. The most dangerous moment was over, and the rest should be easier to talk about.
He immediately showed S.H.I.E.L.D.'s goodwill.
"Haha, if it is convenient for Mr. Zhan, you might as well hang up a consultant sign in our SHIELD. With this status, many things will be less troublesome."
"And if Mr. Zhan needs anything in the future, he can directly ask our SHIELD for help. Our organization is an international organization and its power is quite huge."
Zhan Liu thought for a while, nodded and agreed: "It would be nice to have less trouble, so as not to waste too much time."
If you don't accept it, the next wave may be Snake and Shield.
Nick smiled even wider, opening his mouth wide and exposing all his white teeth.
"Then I'll ask Mei to send you the consultant's ID later."
Nick has always been a habitual pusher.
"Also, Mr. Zhan, would you mind if we at SHIELD learn a lot of your Qigong?"
"I don't mind. Of course, the more disciples like Mei, the better."
"Ask them to come and worship as a disciple. As long as they worship the Patriarch, they will be my disciples of the Ultimate Boundless Sect."
What a pleasure!
The more the Martial God, the better!
As for being surpassed by his disciples, if he doesn't even have this little bit of self-confidence, what kind of martial god is he?
Nick's eyes turned into crescent moons as he asked further:
"We at SHIELD have many scientists who are very interested in the scientific principles behind Ultimate Infinite Qigong. Do you mind if they conduct research on this?"
"Oh, in fact, there are scientists in the Martial God World, and Ultimate Infinite Qigong can be practiced through scientific methods. Of course I don't mind the arrival of scientists."
"I have also done some research on electromagnetism and am willing to communicate and learn with scientists."
Although the system can provide opportunities for breakthroughs, according to Zhan Liu's character, it is impossible to place all hopes on a system. It would of course be better if we could gather the power of the world and break through this limit by ourselves.
If you want to break through the limit of the 50th Heavenly Level of Ultimate Infinite Qigong, you must not give up on both combat insights and scientific research, they must go hand in hand.
Now that someone has taken the initiative to send scientists over, Zhan Liu certainly welcomes them.
Nick is now really satisfied with the alien Zhan Liu. This is simply a golden finger given by God to S.H.I.E.L.D.
He looked at Shu again and said, "Then I will ask the scientists to set up some instruments and equipment here. Is it convenient?"
"I don't have any objections." Zhan Liu turned around and looked at the surrounding environment, "But my place is relatively old, and I don't know if it can be accommodated. In my impression, many scientific equipment are bulky."
This is simple, Nick waved his hand and sent a big gift package directly to his door.
"This place really doesn't suit your status. Well, SHIELD will build a large martial arts gym for you in the suburbs, and then you can just move there with your students."
Since S.H.I.E.L.D. intends to show favor, Zhan Liu will certainly not refuse.
"In that case, I won't be polite." Zhan Liu smiled and accepted the olive branch.
The two chatted happily until Nick spilled the beans.
In other words, he didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at all.
"Ultimate Infinite Qigong, can it really be practiced by willpower alone, regardless of talent, aptitude, physical fitness or other conditions?"
"Of course. But of course it will be much faster for those with good qualifications to practice. There are also people who can get started in one day. But the only factor that determines the upper limit is will."
"That's great. This is something tailor-made for agents. Mei taught Qigong to other agents before, but none of them learned it. I didn't know that there was magnetic field acceleration around you at the time. I thought……"
Nick suddenly noticed that the smile on Zhan Liu's face disappeared and his expression darkened.
He stopped talking and quickly went through what he just said in his mind, and found no problems.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"Did you just say that Mei taught Qigong to other agents?" Zhan Liuhan asked in a low voice.
"...Yes!" Nick still didn't understand what the problem was.
"Then you know that our sect is taboo on disclosing our skills privately."
A dazzling red light flashed in the system in Zhan Liu's brain.
