Tony Stark and his team, who were busy at the moment, did not know that precisely because S.H.I.E.L.D. was pressing hard, Loki's use of the Tesseract was becoming more frequent.
He had even begun to consider tentative cooperation with some of the natives on Earth whom he had previously looked down upon.
On the other side, Luca was even less likely to know about this.
At this moment, he was happily wandering through the mall.
The reason for his happiness was, naturally, that after searching for many days, he had finally found a brand-new item today.
And it just so happened to be the 'Detective Conan World' item he had been waiting for.
[Bowtie Voice-Changer]
[Detective Conan World 3/5]
[Manufacturer: Dr. Agasa]
[Core Component: Red Bowtie]
[Synthesis Consumables: 1 miniature battery, 1 small microphone, 1 small sound player]
[Item Description: An unremarkable voice-changing bowtie. By rotating the hidden knob within the bowtie, one can mimic various different voices.
Regardless of gender or age, anyone who has spoken in front of you while you are wearing the voice-changing bowtie can be recorded and perfectly mimicked.]
[Friendly Reminder: When using this item, it can effectively reduce your presence and blur the direction of the sound, making it difficult for others to notice your presence even if they are close by~]
That's right, it was this item, which was perhaps the most frequently used item by the God of Death elementary school student in the Detective Conan World.
Although to get this bowtie, Luca had to 'bundle' a few completely ill-fitting children's dresses at that children's clothing store, attracting many strange glances from passersby.
However, he no longer cared much about such minor details.
Moreover, this item acquisition also made Luca notice another characteristic of the Golden Finger.
The core component of this [Bowtie Voice-Changer], the 'Red Bowtie', according to the store clerk, seemed to have two transmission knobs on its back for easy adjustment of tightness.
'It seems the more similar it is to the original item, the higher the probability of becoming a core component? No, no, this is obvious. It should be, the more similar, the less synthesis consumables are needed?'
Yes, perhaps because the bowtie itself came with 'knobs', this time the item description clearly mentioned the need to 'rotate the knob', but the synthesis consumables did not mention similar materials.
'If that's the case, then if I want a certain item, and I create something that's about seventy to eighty percent similar, will it directly become a core component, and through synthesis, add some black technology concepts and features to the item?'
The more Luca thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, and he immediately wanted to go back and test it.
If one attempt didn't work, he could just find a relatively simple item and try mass production.
If he could really rely on himself to custom-make 'core components', Luca felt he might take off immediately.
However, fortunately, Luca was still able to keep his composure.
Mass production, manufacturing items, and even selecting suitable things to manufacture were not things that could be done in a short time.
It was still early.
After a slight hesitation, Luca still decided to continue browsing other shops while his luck was good today.
And sure enough.
What happened next seemed to prove that Luca's choice was not wrong.
Not long after.
In a relatively simply decorated watch shop, Luca's vision once again spotted that familiar white light.
However, the carrier of this white light seemed to have been favored by a father and daughter, who were holding it and playing with it, preparing to check out.
At this moment, Luca didn't care about Samira and Longbow, who were following behind him, and quickly walked two steps to the counter.
However, upon getting closer, Luca realized that the father and daughter who were choosing watches seemed to be people he coincidentally knew.
"Director George Stacy? I didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence."
That's right, the father and daughter standing in front of the watch shop counter, hesitating whether to pay and check out, were none other than Director George Stacy of the New York Police Department, and his daughter, the famous Gwen Stacy.
Although Luca had not met this World's Gwen, he recognized her at a glance.
At this moment, Gwen looked to be about the same age as Luca, with bright short blonde hair, and her whole person exuded a youthful and vibrant girlish aura.
However, Director George Stacy next to her seemed to be in a completely opposite state to his daughter.
Although it was evident that Director George Stacy had tidied up his appearance because he was accompanying his daughter shopping, and he consistently tried to maintain a smile on his face.
Nevertheless, from his slightly sunken eye sockets and somewhat messy stubble, one could still see the undeniable fatigue and haggardness on him.
'It seems that New York recently has indeed given this Director My Lord quite a headache.'
As Luca was thinking this, Director George Stacy, who heard his greeting, still looked a bit dazed and didn't react.
Instead, Gwen Stacy, who was next to him, was the first to turn her head and look over.
However, as soon as she saw Luca, she immediately showed a strange expression, and her eyes were indescribably peculiar.
Luca, seeing this, was slightly puzzled and spoke first, asking,
"This young lady must be Director George Stacy's daughter, right? Have we met before?"
Gwen, who was already a bit nervous, immediately began shaking her head frantically upon hearing Luca's question, and at the same time, quickly stepped back, hiding half of her body behind her father.
And from her strange eyes, Luca actually saw a hint of fear and 'joy'?
'Did I misread it? Perhaps Director George Stacy told Gwen about my previous affairs?'
Just as Luca was thinking this, Director George Stacy, who had regained his composure, directly took over the conversation, forcing a bit of energy, and politely returned Luca's greeting.
"It's Mr. Orange, what a coincidence, are you…?"
As he spoke, Director George Stacy subconsciously glanced at his daughter beside him with his peripheral vision.
He actually didn't want his daughter to have too much contact with someone like Luca.
Not to mention the previous incident where this young master of the Orange Family family shot and blew up a mud truck.
In fact, Director George Stacy was also aware of the Orange Family Villa being attacked a few days ago, and even Mr. Orange, along with his bodyguard, killing his own uncle who had 'kidnapped' him.
However, because in that matter, the Orange Family family, their lawyers, and even the Connecticut police all had consistent statements.
The entire process of the case was also reasonable and legal, so he, as Director of New York, which was only one of the crime scenes, naturally wouldn't go looking for trouble and offend everyone completely.
At this moment, he just didn't want his daughter to get involved with such a troublesome person.
'But, that previous matter... sigh, I knew I shouldn't have told Gwen...'
