Banner shrugged and told Tony that Captain America had gotten the job.
I don't know if Tony's frequent appearances have contributed to the increased cost of living in Stark City, since the cost of living there is not low.
Therefore, in order to ensure that the Avengers can continue to live in the city until they find a way back, most of the team members, including Captain America and Tony Stark, need to find new jobs.
However, the other members of the Avengers had it much easier than Tony.
Besides Captain Steve Rogers, who has become a security guard, Thor also became a full-time employee of the construction company a few days ago. Thanks to his Asgardian physique, Thor's work efficiency on the construction site is even higher than that of the construction robots introduced by Stark Industries.
In addition, Peter also found a job delivering pizzas, shuttling between the skyscrapers of Stark City every day.
"Is the beautiful captain safe?"
Upon hearing Banner's answer, and comparing it to the scene of Captain America Steve Rogers standing at the entrance of the residential area in a security guard uniform, Tony's face showed an expression that wanted to laugh. However, when he thought about his current situation, this expression turned into a helpless sigh.
Who would have thought that once they arrived in this world, the members of the Avengers would have to work to support themselves?
Aside from Avengers' Banner struggling to find work due to his own issues and the Hulk's threat, Doctor Strange needing to rethink his return to the team, and Tony Stark constantly running into obstacles, everyone else is doing well.
"Recently, there have been multiple attacks in New York City. The Stark City Council, which governs the city, has issued a warning to Tony residents, urging them to be cautious. This is clearly an attack specifically targeting Tonys. While the council has not released much information on casualties, news reports indicate that more than five or more Tonys have been injured in the attacks. Fortunately, no one has died. They are all safe..."
Seeing that Tony's emotions had calmed down, Banner turned on the television, where the news was reporting on the recent terrorist attacks.
"Attack Tony?"
Tony couldn't help but pay attention to the report broadcast on the TV screen by the WHIH news anchor on the front lines.
After such a long period of adaptation, the Avengers have a general understanding of the situation in Stark City.
Things here are far from peaceful. On the contrary, due to the large presence of Tony Stark, the entire Stark City lacks optimism, especially when the existence of the antisocial Tony is revealed.
"Xu Fu from WHI5.7H News Frontline arrived at the scene immediately." "We are now connecting with Xu Fu. Xu Fu, are you there?"
"Christina, I just came from the accident scene..."
As the news anchor introduced him, a reporter with a microphone soon appeared on screen. He looked at the television and reported on Xu Fu's situation in a fluent and skillful manner. Neither Tony nor Banner showed any surprising expressions.
Just as the Avengers found new jobs, Xu Fu also applied for a new position in Stark City.
With his extensive experience as a journalist covering both positive and negative stories, he returned to his old profession and successfully entered the television station, becoming a frontline reporter for WHIH News.
Chapter 970 Explosion Accident
"Thank you, Xu Fu, thank you for your on-site report..."
In the WHIH News Frontline studio, host Kristin spoke with George Na live, right after the camera returned to the live broadcast.
"Recently, in response to the rising crime rate in Stark City, Mayor Stark stated in an interview that the Stark Council must take necessary responsibility, and every Tony Stark must be held accountable, especially for the current superhero behavior..."
"In the process of saving the world, they will inevitably cause economic losses. In the past, these losses have often fallen on the shoulders of the Stark City government. Therefore, the mayor of Stark believes it is time to decide to levy a special loss tax on superheroes. Tony Stark City seems to have a different opinion on this. Let's see the report sent by war correspondent Xu Fu from the streets of the city."
As soon as host Christine finished speaking, the screen at WHIHNewsfront switched back to the interview footage shot outdoors.
"I don't think this is appropriate. The real cause of destruction isn't superheroes, it's Tony Stark who just wants to save others..."
Tony Stark, with his long, flowing hair, gives an interview.
"They're superheroes, not many Tony Stark would be willing to do that." "And not everyone has the courage to become Iron Man."
"Skinny Tony Stark said with a playful expression."
"In fact, we all know that Tony Stark is the root of the chaos in this city..."
In addition to interviews with Tony Stark, Xu Fu also interviewed ordinary citizens and expressed various opinions.
"Without a doubt, Tony Stark is responsible for this."
...
I guess not everyone likes Tony Stark.
In his temporary lodgings, watching a WHIH Newsfront interview on television, Banner couldn't help but sigh.
"There's nothing surprising about that."
Tony responded with feigned seriousness.
Even as a superhero, he is bound to be controversial, and Stark City is no exception.
If one Tony Stark is troublesome enough, then Stark City has hundreds of Tony Starks working in various industries.
"I didn't know you became mayor."
Banner noticed Tony on the TV screen wearing a suit and with a serious, politician-like expression. He turned his head and gave Tony a flirtatious look.
"To be precise, he's another Tony Stark."
Tony raised an eyebrow and said with a somewhat nonchalant expression, "He's already become mayor."
"Like Tony the Predecessor, Tony the Dessert, or Tony Stark, they are me, but at the same time they are completely different from me."
"Don't forget, there's also Tony's dog."
Banner added after receiving Tony's explanation.
Tony: "..."
Tony cast a questioning look at Banner, who was standing in front of him, and then turned the conversation to Doctor Strange in the darkness.
Does Strange still look the same?
Banner nodded and sighed.
"The same as always, the same as always."
Since arriving in this world, Doctor Dark Strange has remained silent, immersed in his own magical world, even refusing to eat or drink. If one could occasionally hear the urge to do something emanating from his room, the Avengers would have already stormed in.
"How long has he been out?"
Tony frowned, glanced around the room where Doctor Dark Strange was, and asked thoughtfully.
"I don't know, it must have been four or five days ago." "The last time I saw him was the day Saul got this job."
After thinking for a while, Banner said somewhat uncertainly.
Recently, the Avengers have been focused on adapting to life in Stark City, while the situation with the Dark Doctor Strange remains unresolved.
“This can’t go on. Although we all desperately want to go back, I don’t want to see Strange’s body lying in the room. Until then, we should let him go outside to get some sun and relax, instead of keeping him cooped up in the room studying these weird things…”
"The strange and unusual things you're talking about must be some kind of mystical knowledge you acquired before."
"Whoever he is, whatever he is, what Strange needs most right now is to get some rest."
Tony interrupted Banner's explanation and stepped into the room where Doctor Dark Strange was.
"and many more!"
Seeing Tony reach for the doorknob, Banner quickly opened his mouth to remind him.
However, before he could say these words, Tony's hand grabbed the doorknob right in front of his nose.
Immediately, a red light flashed, and Tony opened the door, appearing in the living room.
"How is this going?"
Looking at Banner in the living room, Tony turned to look at the door behind him. He clearly wanted to go into Doctor Strange's room, but how did he end up in the living room as soon as he opened the door?
“I forgot to tell you, Strange put a spell on the door to prevent anyone from disturbing him.”
Banner shrugged and turned to him.
He was alone and did not attempt to contact the Dark Stranger, but the latter clearly had no intention of meeting with them.
"Friday"
"Yes, sir."
After hearing Banner's explanation, Tony turned his head again and looked at the room where Doctor Dark Strange was.
The previous magical encounter didn't deter Tony; instead, it fueled his competitive spirit and selfless dedication. Tony clutched a 593 nanoparticle charging and storage device tightly to his chest, intending to break the magic Doctor Dark Strange had placed on the door in his own way.
rumbling
Suddenly, a deafening explosion not far from his temporary residence interrupted Tony's actions.
"Find the explosion site on Friday."
He frowned and looked in the direction from which the explosion had come.
"The explosion occurred three kilometers away. Judging from the sound propagation, the damage was most likely caused by a missile..."
"So, yet another attack?"
In the time the Avengers have been in this world, Stark has been attacked more than six times, and just minutes ago, Xu Fu learned about one of them through a news report from the WHIH.
rumbling
Just when Tony thought the attack would end quickly like the last one, an explosion suddenly occurred. The explosion was very close to the Avengers' temporary residence, and Tony and Banner, who were in the room, even felt the building shake.
Something seems off.
Upon noticing the unusual explosion, Tony didn't hesitate to put on his nanosuit, and his expression under the helmet became somewhat wary.
Meanwhile, the frequent recruitment meetings made him almost forget that he was an Avenger.
