Chapter 43: The Shield



According to what Bruce knew, Captain America’s Vibranium shield was different from other Vibranium weapons.

The shield used Vibranium as the main material, but some accidents occurred during the manufacturing process causing the material composition ratio of the shield to change, and even with the most advanced technology, It could no longer be analyzed.

Yet it was also because of this accident that the toughness of the vibranium shield managed to reach the next level, making it much more powerful than other objects made out of Vibranium. It could even be said that half of Captain America’s combat prowess came from his shield.

So, with that said, Bruce decided that he must have it, especially because S.H.I.E.L.D. would take it away relatively soon. Coulson was going to be designing a new battle suit for Captain America and he would be using the shield as a reference.

At this point, Steve turned to Hill after glancing at Bruce.

“My future helper?” He had only been awake for a short period of time and he could not yet fully grasp the situation he was in.

“Yes Captain, your body needs to recover gradually. During this period, Bruce will be helping you.” Hill replied, she was among the top echelon of S.H.I.E.L.D. but she still had a great deal of respect for Captain America. He was after all, a real hero.

Captain America nodded and remained seated after hearing her out. Hill looked at Bruce, and solemnly said, “Well Bruce, I will arrange everything for you. Captain America is our hero, and his strength is beyond your imagination.”

Bruce gave a small smile and answered, “I know.”

Bruce knew Captain America very well, and he certainly knew what he had to do. Next, Bruce walked towards Captain America, with the same small smile on his face.

He held out his hand and said, “Hello Captain, my name is Bruce Lite.”

The Captain looked at Bruce’s extended hand, and moved his to shake it while replying, “Steve Rogers.” And just as  the two’s hands touched, Captain America’s information was displayed in Bruce’s mind.

——-

[Name]: Steve Rogers.

[Identity]: Captain America.

[Ability]: Superb-level fighting technique (400mb), Super endurance (25GB, defective), Super-serum gene (50gb, defective), Body and Shield as one (100gb), Vibranium Shield (300gb), Strategic wisdom (2gb)

——-

There were six superpower-level abilities in Captain America’s possession, and two of them were defective, name his Super endurance and the Super-serum gene. Because Captain America had been asleep for 70 years, some of his abilities had been greatly affected.

But, according to Bruce’s prediction, Captain America’s strength should have been recovered by at least half. Bruce was eager because the Captain had two abilities that Bruce really wanted to get.

Bruce looked at the Vibranium shield and Body and Shield as one, and started the download.

“Beep, connection successful…”

“Beep, ability Body and Shield as one, size 100gb, download initializing!”

“Beep, ability Vibranium shield, size 300gb, download initializing!”

“Beep, current download speed is 2mb/s (effective within 10 meters)”

Captain America was really strong, and the two abilities he wanted to download off of him had a combined size of 400GB! It was too astonishing, even the 100x speedup would not do the trick this time, Bruce had to purchase the 1,000x one.

Bruce felt as if his heart was on fire, as he had lost yet another million. “It doesn’t matter, after completing this task, I will get 5 million USD as a reward.” Bruce comforted himself for a bit to ease his pain.

With the 1,000x speedup, the download would finish in less than 4 minutes. At the same time though, Hill walked over to Captained America and said, “Someone wants to give you a surprise, and he needs to use your shield for a while.”

The Captain just nodded, so Hill took the shield and said to Bruce, “take good care of the captain,” before walking out.

Now, only Captain America and Bruce were left in the room. “Although you are from S.H.I.E.L.D. I still want to arrange my next training by myself.”

Captain America looked at Bruce, after seeing such a young agent be sent to him, in the Captain’s eyes, he might be a little strong, but he would no doubt be inexperienced.

Bruce just smiled and looked at the Captain.

“Captain, if my guess is right, you should be unable to keep your state of fighting for prolonged periods of time, unlike before, am I right?”

After hearing his words, the Captain’s face changed. Endurance had always been his strong point. No matter what kind of an opponent or blow he had faced, he could always continue to fight.

However now, he had been asleep for 70 years and his endurance had been severely reduced. He knew this, but the problem was, how did this young agent in front of him discover it so fast?

Bruce kept on smiling and did not continue to explain, because this was enough. As he expected, soon afterwards, the system rang in Bruce’s mind again.
