Pika Pika No Mi In Marvel - Chapter 38:
Chapter 38: “Diplomat” Professor X
Generally speaking, it’s too easy to circle the Earth at the speed of light. In one second, light can go around the Earth seven and a half times.
However, traveling the world is fundamentally different from circling the Earth.
Traveling the world naturally involves the aspect of sightseeing and exploring.
In fact, Yu Feng had long planned to travel the world and even had a plan to train himself by running at the speed of light while circling the Earth. However, in the beginning, he wasn’t familiar with the routes, and getting lost would be embarrassing. So he had put it on hold until now.
And now, this problem was easily solved.
In the past year, Yu Feng learned a lot about positioning and navigation from Hank, and he could create some positioning and navigation devices himself. After some tinkering, Yu Feng quickly had a navigation device in his hands that looked like a smartphone from his previous life.
Originally, Yu Feng had the idea to make it into a smartphone, but due to his lack of technical skills, he could only install GPS on it and turn it into a mobile navigation device for now.
By the time he finished traveling the world and became familiar with various maps and routes, he wouldn’t need the navigation device anymore. After all, with his memory, he wouldn’t forget a route he had once taken.
“Yu, traveling the world is not about aimlessly running around the Earth. It should have a purpose. Have you decided where our first stop will be?”
Although Jean was surprised by Yu’s sudden idea, she soon became excited.
Traveling the world, what a romantic thing to do!
“For the first stop… let’s go to the East, to my homeland, China! Let me show you the beauty of China’s five thousand years of history. You’ll definitely love it!”
In addition to enjoying and relaxing, Yu Feng also wanted to search for the mysterious location of “K’un-Lun” in the East.
In the Marvel world, K’un-Lun was a mysterious extradimensional space that only appeared at fixed times. The “Iron Fist” series of Defenders depicted the origins of K’un-Lun. There, there was a dragon named “Shou-Lao” who bestowed the power of “qi” upon each generation of Iron Fist.
Yu Feng speculated that there must be some mysterious substance within K’un-Lun. Perhaps there was information about the mysterious substance on the body of the dragon, Shou-Lao?
In any case, investigating it would be useful.
Even if he couldn’t find K’un-Lun this time and it hadn’t manifested yet, at the very least, he might be able to grasp some of the rules for K’un-Lun’s manifestation.
“Okay!” Jean happily nodded her little head.
She didn’t really care where they went as long as Yu was by her side. But after thinking for a moment, she suddenly paused and said, “By the way, Yu, although we can reach our destination quickly, sightseeing will take quite some time. Shouldn’t we inform Professor Hank or Professor Charles? What if they come looking for us and we’re not here?”
“Don’t worry, Professor and Hank won’t come looking for us. They’re going to Washington.”
Yu Feng smiled and said. Just a while ago, Hank had told him about this, saying that he and Professor X would be going to Washington for two or three days to meet some important people. Jean was at the library at that time and didn’t hear about it.
“Oh, I see. The Professor must be going there to discuss mutant rights with government officials, right?” Jean asked.
“Yes,” Yu Feng nodded. Professor X’s daily responsibilities were not just teaching the children, but also considering the rights of mutants. In other words, he was doing “public relations” work between mutants and the human government.
Professor X was like a “diplomat” between mutants and humans.
He desired peaceful coexistence between mutants and humans, but achieving true peaceful coexistence was not something that could be accomplished by mere slogans. It required substantial actions, preferably ones that could influence the government to establish laws and regulations favorable to mutants.
Soon, Yu Feng and Jean were ready for everything.
They embarked on a world tour that was simply a matter of saying it and doing it.
Accompanied by golden light flickering, they disappeared from the school in an instant. The next moment, they appeared within the borders of China.
…
Washington.
In front of a luxurious hotel, a luxurious champagne gold sports car arrived. As the car stopped, a gentlemanly butler got out of the car and opened the passenger door. With his refined British accent, he politely said, “Professor, we have arrived.”
“Thank you, Jarvis. I appreciate it.”
In the passenger seat, Professor X also showed a polite smile.
At this time, Hank came out from the rear door, picked up the wheelchair from the trunk, and lifted Professor X onto the wheelchair.
“Please.”
Jarvis stood aside. The hotel entrance, built like a palace, had a vibrant red carpet laid out, and there were special reception ladies on both sides, each with exceptional elegance.
Seeing this scene, Hank couldn’t help but be amazed, but at the same time, he was puzzled. He looked at Jarvis and asked, “Jarvis, Mr. Stark wants to invite the professor for a discussion. Is such a grand gesture necessary? And why did they choose Washington as the location? Isn’t Stark Industries headquartered in New York?”
Jarvis smiled and said, “Mr. Hank, originally Mr. Stark wanted to invite the professor and you to the Stark Industries headquarters, but considering that the professor is constantly busy advocating for mutant rights, Mr. Stark introduced someone who might be able to have a meaningful conversation with the professor.”
“Oh? Who is it?” Hank asked curiously.
“His name is Gideon Malik.”
