It was already noon the next day when the spell on Banner wore off.
Tony Stark's action of buying an island was very swift; he quickly acquired a small private island in the Atlantic Ocean near New York through wealthy channels.
The island already had a villa complex built by the previous owner, so they only needed to transport the experimental equipment and make a few adjustments to some of the villas for Banner to use as his laboratory.
Originally, Tony had planned to contact "Mr. Blue" Dr. Samuel Sterns, inviting him to the laboratory on this private island as a guest, hoping he could continue to cooperate with Banner to eliminate the mutation in Banner.
However, when Tony found Mr. Blue's laboratory, he discovered that the place was deserted, and all research equipment and experimental records had disappeared. Tony suspected that Mr. Blue had been taken into custody by the military.
Although Tony had General Ross as his target, he lacked concrete evidence, and since they were currently in a period of cooperation, it was not appropriate to directly confront him and demand Mr. Blue's release.
With General Ross's refusal to admit anything, Tony could only regretfully inform the awakened Banner of the news.
Banner felt great pity for the disappearance of "Mr. Blue," who had helped him, but he quickly pulled himself together and dedicated himself to the experiment of developing a serum to eliminate his own mutation.
Banner cherished this opportunity provided by Tony, wishing he could spend every moment researching how to turn himself back into a normal human.
Chen Yu also began his one-month basic sword training on the private island Tony had purchased.
Inside a villa on the island, in the newly completed sword training ground.
Deadpool, wearing a red and black tight suit, fought with Chen Yu.
To an outsider, this was a very unfair fight.
Deadpool was about one meter eighty tall, while Chen Yu was only one meter forty tall, making it look like an adult bullying a child.
But in reality, no matter from what angle Deadpool's wooden sword struck Chen Yu, Chen Yu could parry it.
A moment later, Deadpool panted heavily, threw the wooden sword, which already had cracks, to the side, and waved his hand: "Stop, stop, let me rest..."
Chen Yu held his wooden sword, his breathing even, as if he had just finished a slow jog and warmed up.
Chen Yu naturally knew Deadpool was faking it; Deadpool, with his immortal body, did not have such poor physical fitness.
Originally, Chen Yu thought Deadpool was a mercenary who worked for money, a good mercenary who would unhesitatingly fulfill all his employer's requests as long as there was money to be made.
It turned out that after being hired, he discovered Deadpool loved to slack off during work hours. He had only been sparring for less than half an hour before he started to shirk his duties.
Deadpool eyed the already set up parasol nearby, imagining how he could quickly enjoy sunbathing on the private island, and his panting grew a little louder.
When Deadpool pretended to catch his breath, Chen Yu handed him a towel.
Deadpool took the towel and meticulously wiped the non-existent sweat from his mask.
"Phew, it's too hot today. How about we take a break and sunbathe together!"
Deadpool pretended to wipe the sweat from his forehead and even twisted the towel in a convincing manner.
Chen Yu rolled his eyes at these fake gestures.
If you're really hot, then don't wear this tight suit and mask. Aren't you afraid of getting stuffy?
And aren't you afraid of getting a rash?
"BOSS, your swordsmanship progress is truly terrifying. In just one month, you've mastered the four basic stances I taught you, and you've almost learned the eight secondary stances as well."
"Your movements are very precise. The rest requires your daily practice, slowly integrating swordsmanship into your instincts. This requires a lot of actual combat practice; sparring alone won't do much, so I have nothing left to teach you."
Deadpool continued to coax.
"Unless you're willing to learn the Buttocks Sword Style, I can teach you how to grip the sword hilt with your glutes."
Seeing Deadpool promoting his Buttocks Sword Style again, Chen Yu once again refused to learn this bizarre sword art.
"Since you're not learning the Buttocks Sword Style, there's nothing else to teach. Why not take a good rest? Such good weather is too wasted on studying."
"You should know a saying: effort doesn't necessarily lead to success, but not making an effort will definitely be comfortable."
Deadpool, while coaxing, instinctively lay down under the parasol and began to enjoy his beautiful day.
But a "roar" of an explosion came from the villa used as a laboratory not far away, and Deadpool instantly knew there was other "work" to be done today.
Only to see a giant green monster emerge from a hole in one of the villas.
It was estimated to be about three meters tall, with a green face, fangs, and the head and body of a rat. The fur on its back was like a porcupine's quills, reflecting a sharp gleam in the sunlight.
"Alright, Banner accidentally let his little darlings out again. Looks like there's no rest for now."
Looking at the giant green rat that had broken through the wall, Deadpool slapped his forehead, an expression of painful memories on his face.
This was not the first time Deadpool and Chen Yu had seen such a situation.
After all, Banner's research into eliminating body mutations could not be achieved through mere imagination; he needed a large amount of experimental material for research to ensure the safety of the developed serum.
Banner did not want to create a remedy based on pure deduction and end up with a scene of sudden death upon consumption, or he would be laughed at by his peers even in hell.
The reason Deadpool and Chen Yu were training on the island was also at Pepper and Tony's request, to act as security on the island.
Protect Banner and repel invaders?
No, it was to protect the local ecosystem and prevent the green monsters Banner created from destroying the ecosystem of the island and the surrounding sea.
As for Banner's safety, Chen Yu and Deadpool did not need to worry.
If an experimental animal really attacked Banner, Banner would turn into the Hulk in minutes and tear the monster apart.
If real danger arose, who would be protecting whom was anyone's guess.
After waiting a moment and realizing the Hulk hadn't come out with the monster, Deadpool breathed a sigh of relief.
Solving the green monster was easy, but dealing with the Hulk that Banner transformed into was a very difficult task.
Looking at the green rat with violent eyes, Chen Yu quickly approached it, cast a Sectumsempra, and easily split the opponent in half.
Then he pulled out his Serenitea Pot and collected the green rat's corpse, preparing to feed it to the God Warrior.
The monster created by Banner's blood, although its life quality was not comparable to Norbert the dragon, was still within the range of sacrifices accepted by the God Warrior.
However, there was no way to deal with the souls of monsters created by Banner's blood; the God Warrior considered such offerings to be only one-third of a normal offering.
One-third it is, anyway, it's just a matter of nine mutated rats.
Banner was practically a source of mutation; a few drops of his blood could turn ordinary, non-combatant creatures into mutated beings with considerable fighting power.
I remember in the movie, the disappeared "Mr. Blue" was knocked down by Abomination, suffered a head injury, which caused the Hulk serum to drip in, causing a mutation. It is said that his intelligence increased 1000 times, turning him into a person who loves to read, has an insatiable thirst for knowledge, and also possesses telepathy and super willpower, calling himself the Leader.
The ability of these few drops of blood to create a villain BOSS, even if Banner removed his ability to turn into the Hulk, in a world similar to Resident Evil, he would at least be a progenitor.
"Roar! Hulk smash!"
"Woohoo... Looks like trouble..."
Hearing a deep roar, Deadpool shrugged and immediately jumped behind a tree, not wanting the Hulk to discover his presence.
Deadpool did not want to be smashed around on the ground by the Hulk.
He could use a small knife to annoy the Hulk's butt, but to subdue the Hulk, that was up to the BOSS.
Chen Yu saw a giant green figure running out of the villa, held his wand, and cast three consecutive Stunning spells at it.
"Stupefy!"
"Stupefy!"
"Stupefy!"
One Stunning spell was enough to knock out an adult wizard, but Chen Yu's three consecutive Stunning spells only made the Hulk feel sleepy.
When the Hulk was drowsy, Chen Yu could approach him, use an Astral Projection to knock Banner's soul out of the Hulk's body, and without Banner's soul to support it, the Hulk would automatically transform back into Banner after a while.
Ultimately, the Hulk was just Banner's alter ego, not a separate entity.
So, as long as the Hulk was drowsy and let down his guard, he could be turned back into Banner.
The two Hulk rampages in the past month were both subdued by Chen Yu using this method.
"Chen Yu!"
The Hulk roared again, looking towards Chen Yu.
The roar made Chen Yu shiver, and he was considering whether to just open a Dimension Door and run away, then come back when the Hulk reverted to Banner.
But the Hulk did not seem to intend to attack. After locating Chen Yu, the Hulk continued to roar: "Hulk, slept too long, Hulk hates sleeping!"
Chen Yu looked at the Hulk's face; at this moment, his green face had less ferocity and more calmness.
He didn't seem to want to suddenly hurt someone, so Chen Yu tentatively asked: "Since you don't want to sleep, what do you want to do?"
The Hulk continued to answer Chen Yu's question with his deep voice: "Here safe, Hulk wants to find friends to play!"
The Hulk's answer greatly surprised Chen Yu. The Hulk actually said it was safe here and wanted to find friends to play.
Chen Yu was deliberating on how to continue the conversation. Although the Hulk seemed harmless now, his intelligence was indeed not high.
If he angered the Hulk, Chen Yu did not want to experience the feeling of fighting a full-power Hulk.
Before Chen Yu could think of what to say, the Hulk continued: "Here no 'bang bang bang,' makes Hulk hurt a lot... Hulk likes here."
For a monster that could easily demolish a street into ruins to say it liked it here, simply because no one was using "bang bang bang" weapons against him, causing him pain.
Hearing what the Hulk meant by "safe here," Chen Yu felt a little sorry for the Hulk.
The Hulk only transformed when Banner was severely stimulated, which meant that every time the Hulk appeared before, it was not in a friendly environment.
Considering the Hulk's experiences since his birth, it's likely the Hulk had never experienced kindness from the outside world.
It seemed no one had ever tried to communicate with the Hulk; even Chen Yu himself subconsciously tried to send the Hulk back and bring Banner back.
Should he try to continue communicating with the Hulk?
"Hulk, wants friends, but, everyone hates Hulk..."
The Hulk's voice was a bit low; it seemed that everyone hating the Hulk made him very sad.
Chen Yu moved a little closer to the Hulk, saying with a hint of insincerity: "No, not everyone hates you. I can be your friend."
"Hulk, likes friends!"
"Chen Yu friend!"
The Hulk's voice became louder, his eyes sparkled as if stars were dancing, and an excited expression appeared on his green face.
Then the Hulk immediately returned to the laboratory. Deadpool, hiding in the tree, wanted to follow to see what the Hulk was going to do. As soon as he poked his head out, the Hulk came back carrying a giant green rat.
"Friend eat, gift!"
The Hulk's vocabulary was clearly not extensive, his speech simple, and communication relatively difficult.
Looking at the giant green dead rat, it seemed the Hulk had picked one from Banner's experimental subjects, preparing to give it to himself as... food?
Chen Yu quickly shook his head; he was not willing to eat this thing.
Although he was indeed not picky about food and had a varied palate, Chen Yu still kept his distance from things like rats.
Firstly, psychologically, he couldn't bring himself to do it. Although he knew these little rats were all experimental rats before being trained by Banner, cleaner than humans, Chen Yu still had some resistance to eating rats.
Eating spiders, scorpions, and centipedes was already his limit; rats were out of the question.
Secondly, these giant green rats had all been injected with Banner's blood. If he ate this stuff, it might cause a secondary mutation. If he turned into a big green guy, and couldn't change back like Abomination, his attractiveness would plummet.
Seeing Chen Yu refuse, the Hulk became disappointed, thinking that what he offered did not satisfy his friend.
Confirming that this large green rat was dead, and seeing the Hulk's disappointed expression, Chen Yu still collected it into his Serenitea Pot, planning to sacrifice it to the God Warrior along with the other dead rat later.
Oh, he must pay attention to Norbert. She had eaten a pile of rats given by Hagrid before. He absolutely must not let her eat these green rat corpses.
If she ate these green rats and Norbert also mutated, becoming more violent and disobedient, that would be a huge loss.
Chen Yu quickly told his clone in the Serenitea Pot to watch Norbert, then took out a large barrel of brandy and handed it to the Hulk.
"As friends, we exchange gifts! I'll treat you to a drink!"
After seeing the giant green rat disappear from in front of Chen Yu, the Hulk thought Chen Yu had accepted his gift, and his eyes became excited again.
Then he saw the large barrel Chen Yu took out, and hearing that it contained alcohol, the Hulk became even more excited.
The Hulk's thought process was very simple. He knew from Banner's memories that alcohol was something Banner only drank in social situations.
The Hulk didn't understand what "social" meant, but he could see Banner drinking with a group of people in his memories, and he thought alcohol could only be drunk with friends. He immediately became very happy, believing that Chen Yu was truly going to be his friend.
The Hulk took the barrel in his hand and, as easily as opening a soda can, pulled out the wooden stopper and poured it directly into his mouth.
Then the Hulk immediately spat out the alcohol, a hint of grievance in his voice.
"Chen Yu, drink, spicy, not good!"
