Chapter 32 – Two months later
------2 months later / August 5, 1943
"Dude, please."
"Nah. This is your job and I have tons of my own work to do."
"Come on, you sit here and do yoga for days. Can't you sit cross-legged next to them?"
"No."
"Come on, they'll only accept it if you take my place. And I'll get you all the stuff you want from Brooklyn."
"Then go ask the governor to give you what you owe me, then turn all the money into gold and send it in bars to Howard's house in Brooklyn."
-------The next day at 8 am / Virginia military training camp
Last month, as the super soldier project was making great progress, I traveled with Howard to the training camp where the first test subjects for the super soldier serum would be selected.
Howard commuted back and forth between New York and the training camp all day long, but after a while I trusted my original construction and stopped hanging around with him and started staying here.
I had a simple tent, but it was more spacious than my office in New York, and there were far fewer people bothering me. Lately I had been using my general training technique non-stop and relaxing, but last night I had a visit from an officer who used the strange nickname Dum Dum dugan as his name.
This officer is in charge of supervising the soldiers during training, and for the past month, whenever he went to the city, I would order a large amount of food for him. Even if I didn't feel hungry and my body's blood levels didn't deteriorate when I was using the general cultivation technique, when I stopped the technique, I would feel a pent-up sense of hunger.
This officer came into my tent last night and started begging me.
According to the orders he had received from his superiors, namely Sergeant Phillips, I was the only person he could entrust with his mission if he wanted to go to his wife outside his vacation rights.
The officer had received a phone call from his wife yesterday and found out that she was pregnant, so he rushed to me. I felt like I was being used by Sergeant Philips, but I didn't want to refuse a man who was so excited.
As a result, all this made me get out of bed earlier than usual and walk like the rest of the people to the tent where the food was being distributed.
Since I was walking around in civilian clothes, unlike everyone else, almost everyone noticed me and reacted by quietly walking away from me, getting out of my way, gossiping behind my back. Of course, the more confident ones saluted me and tried to approach me like an officer.
But unfortunately, I was the one who let the officer approach me in the first place and I ignored the people who approached me and saluted, except for the girl in the white coat who normally worked at the science commission.
This girl, whose name I don't know, was a nerd who probably took more than a hundred photos of me. At first I was walking in the forest one night when I noticed someone following me and taking pictures of me, so I ignored her and in the morning I went to Philips and suggested that he replace the person following me with someone more professional, but Philips said that it was unreasonable for them to follow me when I was at the campsite.
Then one day when I was trying to improve my infinity technique I let this girl follow me into the forest and hid using my half-assed teleportation technique.
Then I followed her movements and tried to find out why she was following me. As usual, I thought she was a hydra agent, but hydra was not an organization that would make such a stupid mistake and in the current time period hydra is usually found in Europe.
As I found her tent and waited for her and a few other women to come out of the tent, I discovered that one of the people coming out of the tent was an old acquaintance.
After a brief and not at all intimate conversation with Agent Carter, I was able to learn a little bit about this girl, a blonde girl named Angela and a genius in the field of biology. The most important thing is that this girl is a comic book addict.
From there I understood her interest in me, but I kept on researching, research for more private reasons.
About three days ago, my little research came to a conclusion. This girl was not only a comic book fan but also an illustrator whose childhood dream was to create a comic book series.
She saw me the day I knocked everyone out without giving anyone a chance to react and started drawing me as the main character of a comic book. The most important thing is that I am the only one who knows this fact because I found out while going through her things.
After seeing her efforts, a plan started to form in my mind as an investment for the future and that's why I need to use this girl.
I started walking directly towards the girl who was filming me from the front of the food line with a state-of-the-art camera in her pocket. When she saw me approaching, she tucked the camera under her armpit, turned around in a hurry, grabbed a plate and waited for the man in front of her to move forward.
Meanwhile, the people at the head of the line, seeing me approaching the food line, immediately moved to the side to allow me to get food.
When I got to the head of the line, there was only one girl left. The man who had taken the food in front of her because I had arrived immediately started walking towards one of the tables without taking his soup and dessert. But apparently the girl was so excited that she didn't even realize it.
I stood behind the girl and waited in line for a while, until Peggy Carter, who had entered the food tent after me and noticed the strangeness of the situation, warned Angela.
