Chapter 11 The atmosphere was a little awkward
Tony looked at Yinsen anxiously as he rushed out, watching the progress bar on the computer jump continuously.
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
Finally, the progress bar reached 100%, and the Marvel world's first Iron Man suit, Mark I, was officially launched.
After putting on his mask, Tony turned to Lin Yuan and said, "Follow me, stick to the plan, and be safe."
Lin Yuan nodded and cast Mark of the Wild and Rejuvenation spells on Tony as well.
Following several Ten Rings members, they rushed into the cave, which was pitch black.
They advanced cautiously.
Suddenly, a Ten Rings member saw a ray of light in front of his eyes, and then he felt a huge force and was sent flying.
Lin Yuan's experience bar on the system interface jumped!
First Blood! ! !
The killing began.
A steel giant was moving slowly forward in the darkness, and wherever he went, only gunshots and screams were heard.
"Wow, this horror movie-like feeling is really great." Lin Yuan followed Tony, watching the scene unfold with great interest. He now had skills, and even if a few bullets occasionally hit the shield from Mark of the Wild, they couldn't penetrate his skin.
He, Lin Yuan, was very awesome now.
As Mark I was wreaking havoc with overwhelming force, Tony kept calling out to Yinsen, but Yinsen didn't respond.
It wasn't until they were almost at the cave entrance that Tony saw Yinsen lying on the ground, looking like he had been shot. Just as he was about to go up to check, he suddenly heard Yinsen shout, "Be careful."
Tony tilted his body to avoid the RPG shot by the bald man, and then a small missile exploded on the top of the hole on the bald man's head. The bald man just screamed and was knocked to the ground by the falling debris.
Tony didn't care whether he lived or died. He threw away the sandbag that was pressing on Yinsen and looked at Yinsen, who was covered in blood, with a sad face.
"Come on, we have to go, follow me, come on, we have a plan, we have to follow it."
"Everything is going according to plan, Stark," Yinsen said weakly.
Tony knew what he meant but encouraged him anyway, "Come on, you're about to see your family."
"My family is dead, and now I'm going to see them, Stark."
"Sure enough!" Tony confirmed his guess.
"It's okay, I hope so!"
Tony looked at the dying Yinsen and held back his tears. "Thank you for saving me."
"Don't waste your life." After saying this, Yinsen's head lolled to the side.
Seeing Yinsen's apparent death, the angry Tony turned around, wanting to go out and kill all those Ten Rings members, but he suddenly saw Yinsen move again.
Yinsen felt that he wasn't dead, so he tried the head tilt again. "Hmm~~~ Not dead yet?"
Watching Yinsen constantly tilting his head in a somewhat comical way, Tony felt his anger dissipate.
"Hehe~ Hehe~" Yinsen felt a little embarrassed and laughed awkwardly. "I think I can still live for a while."
Both of them fell silent, and the atmosphere gradually became awkward.
"Uncle Yinsen, you can live for a long time! Brother Tony and I still need you!" Lin Yuan walked out of the darkness with a smile and casually cast Healing Touch on Yinsen.
As a faint green light enveloped him, Yinsen felt warmth spread through his body, and the feeling of weakness vanished. The wound on his chest also began to react, and the bullets that were already near the surface of his skin were pushed out and fell to the ground with a clanging sound.
Yinsen stood up and touched his body with an incredulous look on his face.
"Hey, hey, Lin, how did you do that? How am I fine after being hit by so many bullets?"
"That's one of my special abilities. Before you rushed out, I gave you an invisible energy shield. Although the bullets penetrated the shield, the remaining force could only break the surface of your skin. I guess you were too stressed, and you were bleeding a lot, so you thought you were dying," Lin Yuan explained to Yinsen with a smile.
Yinsen had resigned himself to death, but after this near-death experience, he felt he shouldn't give up so easily. He had to do something for himself and his lost family.
"Ahem~" Tony coughed lightly, put down his mask, and walked directly out of the cave. "I'll go clean up outside first. You guys come out later."
"Brother Tony, go bravely! I've put a shield on you too," Lin Yuan cheered from behind, and then suddenly thought of something, casting Faerie Fire on Tony.
Tony turned around and looked at Lin Yuan intently, then turned back and walked out of the cave.
The Ten Rings members outside the cave were on high alert.
They saw a steel giant slowly emerge from the cave. He looked big, strong, and formidable.
"Fire!"
"Da~Da~Da" Countless bullets flew towards Tony but were easily blocked by the Mark I's armor. Tony raised his hands, and two bursts of flame erupted, incinerating the Ten Rings members.
Seeing this, a Ten Rings member on a nearby hillside pulled over a heavy machine gun and fired at Mark I with such force that Tony stumbled. Suddenly, a bullet hit the leg hydraulic system, causing one of Mark I's legs to become immobile.
Tony then ignited the ammunition at the cave entrance, activated the rudimentary flight device, and soared into the sky.
With the explosion of the base's ammunition, all the remaining terrorists inside were killed.
Mark I shot up into the sky in a huge ball of flames, then turned and plunged back down, crashing directly into a sand dune.
Tony lay amidst the disintegrated fragments of Mark I, feeling the scorching heat of the desert sun, as if he had been reborn.
"It's finally over. Not bad!"
Tony felt his body and thought, "No injuries? With such a strong impact, even though the armor cushioned it, it's impossible for me to be uninjured. Besides, I don't feel tired at all. I feel better than before the kidnapping."
"Is it because of Lin?"
"Oh my god!" Tony suddenly remembered something. "Lin and Yinsen are still in there! No, I have to go find them."
After getting his bearings, Tony walked towards the cave.
After walking for a while, he saw Lin Yuan and Yinsen talking and laughing in the distance, walking towards him with relaxed steps.
"Hi, brother Tony, you were so awesome just now!" Lin Yuan greeted Tony.
"Lin, thank you." Tony looked at the smiling child and felt touched.
"It's okay, Tony, you've saved me several times," Lin Yuan waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "What should we do next? Where should we go?"
"Let's go that way. The military must be looking for us," Tony pointed in a direction. "Let's head that way!"
The three of them began to walk in that direction. With the effect of the Rejuvenation spell continuing to restore their physical strength, and having finally escaped the dark cave, they walked with relative ease.
"Yinsen, where are you going next?"
"I don't know. I have nowhere to go. I should go back to my hometown and pay my respects to my family."
"How about this! I'll go with you then, and afterwards, you can come and help me. I need your help!"
"That's fine. I have nowhere else to go anyway. I'll help you."
The conversation felt a little too sentimental for Lin Yuan, giving him goosebumps.
"Lin, come with me. You will be my brother from now on," Tony suddenly turned to Lin Yuan and said.
Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile, "Okay, Tony! I'll leave it to you from now on."
Chapter 12 What is the Security Bureau?
Thump~thump~thump~
As two helicopters flew overhead, Lin Yuan knew that this desert journey was about to end.
Sure enough, the helicopter landed soon, and a large group of American soldiers rushed towards Tony, led by Tony's good friend Colonel Rhodes.
Colonel Rhodes originally thought that Tony must have suffered greatly and would be very weak after walking in the desert for so long.
But what the hell were these three people in front of him?
Tony looked a little disheveled, but aside from the device on his chest, he seemed even more energetic than Rhodes.
"Tony, were you just strolling in the desert?"
"Yeah, it was a really nice trip!"
"Who are these two?"
"This is Dr. Yinsen, and this is Lin. They saved me!" Tony introduced Lin Yuan and Yinsen.
"Thank you!" Rhodes shook hands with Lin Yuan and Yinsen in turn, then hugged Tony. "Let's go; they're waiting for you!"
"Good!"
As the transport plane landed at the military airport back home.
Tony's secretary Pepper Potts and Tony's driver and bodyguard Happy Hogan looked at the slowly opening door of the transport plane, their eyes filled with anxiety and excitement.
During the time Tony was kidnapped, they never got a good rest and never gave up looking for him. Happy also constantly blamed himself for not protecting Tony well enough.
Until today, when they received news from the military that Tony had been found, they came as quickly as possible to wait for him.
The hatch slowly opened, and Tony's figure appeared in their eyes. Then they were both stunned. The weak and listless Tony they had imagined didn't appear. On the contrary, Tony was wearing a relatively clean suit and had a ruddy complexion. Except for looking a little tanned, he seemed healthier than before he was kidnapped.
Pepper and Happy were dumbfounded. What was going on? After being kidnapped for three months, he returned in such good spirits. This was unscientific.
Tony got off the plane and waved away the medical staff pushing a stretcher. "How ridiculous! I look perfectly fine. Do I look like someone who needs a stretcher?"
"Hi! Pepper! Hi! Happy." Tony greeted them with a smile.
Pepper felt like her tears had been wasted. Did this man look like he'd been kidnapped? "Um, are you okay, Tony?"
Tony smiled and said, "What do you think? Are you crying? Are you sad that your boss was missing?"
"I'm happy. I just didn't want to have to look for a new job."
"Yes, your vacation is over."
As everyone got into the car, Pepper wanted to take Tony for a physical examination, but Tony flatly refused.
"Do you think I'm hurt? I've been locked up for three months, and there are two things I want to do most. One: eat a cheeseburger. Two: just..."
Tony was interrupted by Pepper before he could finish. "No, that kind of thing is definitely not okay."
"Puff!" Lin Yuan, who was drinking water in the car, sprayed it out. She truly deserves to be called Pepper Potts. She knows Tony too well. It wasn't surprising she thought that way; Tony had been like that before and couldn't seem to live without a woman.
Tony looked at Lin Yuan with disdain and handed him a tissue.
Pepper looked at Tony in surprise. This was the first time Tony had taken the initiative to care for someone, even if it was just offering a tissue.
"Who are these two?" Pepper asked curiously. Her attention had been entirely on Tony and she hadn't really noticed the other two.
"This is Lin; he'll be my younger brother from now on. And this is Yinsen, my friend. I was able to come back this time only because of their help." Tony patted Lin Yuan on the shoulder and introduced him to Pepper.
"Hello, I'm Lin Yuan; you can call me Lin." Lin Yuan greeted Pepper with a smile.
Pepper was even more surprised as she looked at Lin Yuan's young face. This was the first time Tony had shown such affection towards another man.
Tony just declaring him his younger brother was quite significant. This was a younger brother acknowledged by Tony Stark himself, which held considerable weight.
Thinking of this, Pepper smiled. "Hello, Lin. I'm Pepper Potts. Nice to meet you. Thank you very much for saving Tony!"
"It was my duty. Tony has saved me many times."
"Pepper, the second thing I said was that I was going to hold a press conference, immediately! Right now!"
"Press conference? For what?" Pepper looked confused. What was the purpose of holding a press conference right after returning?
"You'll know when the time comes. Happy, go buy some burgers first!"
"Yes, sir."
Inside the luxury car, Lin Yuan was happily eating a cheeseburger. Seeing Tony eating with relish, he couldn't help but say, "Brother Tony, is this the food you've been craving for three months?"
Yinsen was also enjoying his meal. "I think it's delicious!"
"Okay, as long as you're happy!" Lin Yuan sighed, stuffed the rest of his burger into his mouth, and muttered, "Once things are stable here, I absolutely have to go back to China for a good meal first."
The car soon drove through the gates of Stark Industries. A bald man led the employees in applause and cheers, welcoming Tony's return.
Tony straightened the collar of his suit, turned around, and said to Lin Yuan, "Lin, follow me!"
Lin Yuan responded and followed Tony out of the car.
The bald man came over with a big laugh and hugged Tony.
Tony looked genuinely happy and hugged him back, and the two exchanged greetings as they walked towards the press conference venue.
Lin Yuan followed quietly behind. He knew the bald man; his name was Obadiah Stane. He was Stark Industries' trusted advisor and one of Tony's most trusted people, but unfortunately, he would betray Tony's trust. He was the mastermind behind Tony's kidnapping.
I have to find a chance to warn Tony. I wonder if he'll believe me.
In the press conference hall, a large group of reporters had been waiting for a long time.
Tony Stark had been missing for three months and was holding a press conference as soon as he returned. He must have something big to announce, and the reporters were eagerly anticipating it.
Tony greeted the cheering crowd and walked towards the stage.
Looking at Tony, who was surrounded by the crowd, chatting and laughing, Pepper couldn't help but smile.
"This is how Brother Tony should be!" Lin Yuan exclaimed beside her.
"Mr. Lin, may I have a word with you?" A gentle voice came from beside him.
Lin Yuan turned his head and looked. Oh, isn't this Coulson, the chief of Marvel Novice Village? This hairline isn't much better than Yinsen's.
Agent Phil Coulson extended his hand to Lin Yuan in a friendly manner. "I am Agent Phil Coulson from the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division."
"Where are you from?"
"Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division."
"What country is that in?"
"Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division."
"What Security Bureau?"
"Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division."
"What Land Bureau?"
「.........」
Chapter 13 Is this a serious job?
"Mr. Lin, we know about you. We're here to ask if you can tell us the details of Mr. Stark's escape. As far as we know, Tony is almost unharmed. Can you tell us what happened?"
Coulson wisely changed the subject and asked directly.
Lin Yuan was about to answer when Tony called him up onto the stage.
"I'll go up first; we can talk later if there's anything else."
Coulson politely gestured to Lin Yuan, indicating he was free to go, as there was no rush.
Tony took Lin Yuan by the hand and introduced him to the reporters below. "This is Lin Yuan. He will be my younger brother from now on."
The reporters below erupted in an uproar. Tony Stark personally acknowledging his brother and announcing it at a press conference with such fanfare was huge news.
Lin Yuan was also dumbfounded. My dear brother, although I'm very happy to have Stark Enterprises as my big brother, I'm a support character. Shouldn't a support stay in the back and be the sixth man? Why did you pull me to the front?
Perhaps in Tony's eyes at that moment, since he had declared Lin Yuan his younger brother, he felt he had to let the whole world know. However, in a few years, Tony, having experienced more pain, would become fiercely protective of his loved ones and would never expose them to the world as publicly as he was doing now.
Lin Yuan, feeling touched but also a little helpless, had no choice but to smile and wave at the reporters in the audience.
Moment~
"Fuck, it blinded my kryptonite eyes!"
Lin Yuan was immediately overwhelmed by the flashing cameras.
Tony watched Lin Yuan practically flee down the podium with a smile, and then his face turned serious.
"Now I'm going to start talking about the second thing regarding today's press conference."
The reporters in the audience fell silent.
"I thought the weapons I created were protecting people, but I saw a young man being killed in front of me, killed by the very weapon I designed to protect them."
"What happened to you there?" a reporter called out from the audience.
Tony didn't answer and continued, "After all this time, I've finally realized that I can do more for the world than just make things that explode. Because of this, I have decided to shut down the weapons manufacturing division of Stark Enterprises, effective immediately! Until I can decide the future direction of this company!"
"Boom!" The whole venue seemed to have exploded, and all the reporters surged forward, shouting questions.
Obadiah Stane looked at Tony in shock and anger and quickly stepped onto the stage to stop Tony from continuing.
Lin Yuan watched the chaotic scene and couldn't help but sigh. This is so Tony!
After the press conference, Tony took Lin Yuan and Yinsen to tour Stark Enterprises. Looking at the massive Arc Reactor in front of him, Lin Yuan couldn't help but admire Tony's genius.
This big one looks completely different from the small one. How can a finished product be made in just a few days?
Tech giants are so scary.
As he was marveling, Obadiah Stane came in angrily. "Mr. Lin, Mr. Yinsen, I need to speak with Tony alone about something."
Lin Yuan rolled his eyes, turned around, and went back to the car with Yinsen.
After waiting for a while, Obadiah Stane and Tony came out arm in arm, talking and laughing. Lin Yuan knew that Tony had revealed his secret about the Arc Reactor to Obadiah Stane.
Alas, that thing in his chest is always a hidden danger. I wonder if Tony dares to remove the shrapnel now. I'll find a chance to talk to him about it!
In the following period, the news announced by Tony shocked the world, and Stark Enterprises' stock plummeted.
Lin Yuan, Tony, and Yinsen, however, lived a very comfortable life.
Tony and Yinsen were busy modifying the Arc Reactor in Tony's underground laboratory. After all, the one on Tony's chest had been made hastily, and both the materials and workmanship were subpar. Now that they had the resources, they needed to build a proper one. After all, it concerned Tony's life.
Lin Yuan felt even more at ease. He asked Happy to take him around to look for delicious food. He had eaten all over New York these days, trying all kinds of high-end restaurants, both Chinese and Western.
But to be honest, it was just so-so. Although there was a lot of delicious food, it wasn't really to his taste. Forget about Chinese food; except for a few dishes, most were not worthy of their reputation.
One day, after finishing his meal, Lin Yuan came to the laboratory to find Tony. As soon as he entered, he saw the Mark I Arc Reactor under a glass cover near the door.
"Hey, Tony, you've got new equipment. Did Pepper make this?" Lin Yuan knocked on the glass cover.
"Yeah, I asked her to throw it away, and she said she wanted to keep it as a souvenir," Tony replied helplessly.
"Where's Uncle Yinsen?" Lin Yuan hadn't seen Yinsen around. He had always been with Tony before.
"He went back to his hometown to pay his respects to his family. I asked Rhodey to find someone to protect him. I wanted to go too, but he wouldn't let me."
Lin Yuan found a place and sat down, watching Tony busy himself.
"Brother Tony, do you want to take out the shrapnel and close the hole in your chest? I can help you. It's 100% safe and you'll recover completely. There won't be any scars left."
"I know your abilities, Lin." Tony was stunned when he heard this, then he thought for a moment and said, "For the time being, I still need this thing. I plan to rebuild the one we made in the cave. I originally wanted to ask Rhodey to join me, but unfortunately, he didn't agree."
Then he smiled at Lin Yuan and said, "Anyway, I know that with your abilities, even if I stay like this, if something unexpected happens, you can still save me, right?"
"Of course. I'm a gold-medal support!" Lin Yuan said it was just a small matter.
"By the way, Tony, you need to pay more attention to Obadiah. I always feel like he has bad intentions."
"You're worrying too much, my dear brother. Stan has watched me grow up. He won't hurt me. He might just be a little angry. After all, I didn't inform him of such a big announcement beforehand. We talked about it when we were chatting earlier!"
He's more than just angry; he really wants to kill you right now! Lin Yuan complained silently.
"Anyway, just be more careful!"
"Don't worry, don't worry!" Tony dismissed his concerns.
"Lin, tell me honestly, am I good to you or not?" Tony came over and put his arm around Lin Yuan's shoulders, saying with a smile.
"You're okay!" Lin Yuan said, feeling quite proud.
Tony leaned closer and said, "Then help me with your rejuvenation technique!"
"You don't have any problems right now, why do you need rejuvenation techniques?" Lin Yuan was a little puzzled.
Tony said mysteriously, "Ever since you used the rejuvenation technique on me, I feel my physical strength has become much stronger, and I don't feel tired no matter how long I work."
"Is this the serious work you're talking about, Brother Tony?" Lin Yuan was speechless.
"It's serious, definitely serious."
"I don't believe you!" Lin Yuan rolled his eyes and cast a Rejuvenation spell on Tony.
With my current ability, this should last about six hours. When it wears off, come back to me for more! Lin Yuan thought, then considered something else. Now that Nourish was usable, he decided to give Tony a little extra protection. He subtly cast Nourish on Tony as well.
"Okay, you can go now. I have to start working," Tony said, having achieved his goal and immediately trying to get rid of Lin Yuan.
This job is really not serious~~
Chapter 14 This armor is not so good anymore!
"Brother Tony, Brother Tony!" Lin Yuan ran into the laboratory in a hurry.
"Lin, you're here at the right time. I'm just about to test the flight system of the battle suit. Please help me record it," Tony asked Lin Yuan for assistance without waiting for him to speak.
"Oh, okay!" He swallowed the words that were about to come out.
"Let's get started." Tony got ready.
"Wait a minute, Tony, I'll give you a BUFF." Lin Yuan cast Mark of the Wild on Tony. As for Rejuvenation, it had never stopped working on Tony. The continuous recovery of physical strength had made Tony, already a bit of a workaholic, even more dedicated.
"Are you ready? Let's start! Increase the thrust by 20% and prepare for takeoff." With Lin Yuan's magical protection, Tony became bolder and started directly with 20%.
Then, Lin Yuan watched Tony crash directly into the roof, making a large hole, and then fall to the ground with a thud.
The clumsy mechanical arm next to him sprayed Tony in the face with fire retardant a little too late.
Lin Yuan was laughing so hard he couldn't stand straight. These records were all part of Tony's embarrassing early attempts.
In the next few days, Lin Yuan didn't mention his own concerns. He watched with interest as Tony continued to improve the suit's performance. Being able to witness the true Iron Man suit slowly take shape was a memorable experience.
In fact, Lin Yuan's favorite part was Jarvis. The operating system, which he had only seen in movies before, made Lin Yuan envious.
"When Tony finishes his work, I must ask him to get me a system like this. It should be really fun to play games with! Hehehe~~" Lin Yuan drifted into a fantasy of a better life.
"This kid is good in every way except that he often does silly things." Tony looked at Lin Yuan, who was grinning foolishly, and shook his head. He installed the hand repulsors on the suit, turned around, and shouted, "Lin, stop grinning like an idiot. I want to test the flight stabilization device."
"Oh oh oh ~ OK." Lin Yuan snapped back to reality. "Go ahead, Tony, you don't have to worry about anything with me here."
At this time, Pepper also came down with a cup of coffee to find Tony. "Tony, Obadiah is waiting for you upstairs!"
"Aren't you going to stop researching weapons?" Pepper was a little confused, looking at what Tony had in his hands.
"This isn't a weapon; it's just a flight stabilizer." Tony got ready and began testing.
Then~~~~~Tony disappeared in front of them.
After a crackling sound, Iron Man Tony Stark was shamefully buried under a pile of parts.
Lin Yuan took out his cell phone and started snapping pictures!
Iron Man's embarrassing moments photo +1...
When Lin Yuan and Tony returned upstairs, Obadiah Stane was playing the piano leisurely.
The two exchanged pleasantries, and Obadiah got straight to the point:
"Tony, the board has requested to suspend you from your position. They believe you are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder."
What a load of bull from the board of directors! It was pushed forward by a damn bald guy like you! Lin Yuan fumed internally.
"Just because the stock fell 40 points?" Tony was a little incredulous.
"It's 56.5!" Pepper emphasized.
"What does it matter? I own the controlling stake in the company." Tony was clearly a little agitated.
"The board of directors has the right. They think your new project is not in the company's interest. You have to show them something. Give me the device on your chest so I can use it to convince the board," Obadiah said, pointing at the Arc Reactor, acting like he cared about Tony.
"No, this can only belong to me. No deal!" Tony refused without hesitation.
Obadiah tried to persuade him further, but Tony ignored him and went back to the laboratory.
All Tony wanted now was to finish the armor as soon as possible, prove those old fogies wrong, and show the world that he, Tony Stark, was still the world's number one genius.
Underground garage laboratory
"Day 11, Test 37, Version 2.0"
"Come on, Tony."
"Jarvis, start from 1% thrust and increase slowly." Tony was ready; pure white light beams emitted from his hands and feet. He hovered steadily in the air and then landed safely.
"Very good, now increase the thrust by 2.5%." The control was much worse this time. Tony flew all over the parking lot, and the flames almost set his luxury car on fire, but he managed to land safely without any real danger.
Lin Yuan clapped and cheered from the side. Isn't this more interesting than watching a movie?
The clumsy robotic arm next to him grabbed a fire extinguisher and tried to spray Tony, but Tony stopped it immediately. Lin Yuan saw a look of disappointment from one of the robotic arms.
In fact, Lin Yuan was also quite disappointed. He had also wanted to see Tony get sprayed, hehe~~
"I can fly, haha!" Tony looked excited.
The flight system had been tested, and the next step was to assemble the complete suit.
With the installation of all the surface armor of the Iron Man suit completed, except for the color, Iron Man's first real suit of armor—Mark II—was officially formed.
"So handsome, Tony! I want one too!" Lin Yuan looked at it, the desire in his eyes almost bursting forth.
"Isn't it cool? I'll get you one later," Tony said proudly. "Jarvis, get to work."
Then Jarvis came online, and the system began self-checking.
"System detection completed, preparing to shut down and start data analysis."
"Well, let's check the weather conditions and flight control first, and monitor ground control."
Jarvis understood immediately. "Sir, we need to prepare properly before the actual flight."
"Jarvis, before you learn to walk, you have to run first. Ready, 3... 2... 1~" As flames gushed from his hands and feet, the first flight of Mark II began.
With the roar of flames, Mark II flew out of the garage exit. Tony in the armor shouted excitedly, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
The feeling of flying freely in the air made Tony's adrenaline surge. It was an unprecedented experience!
After circling over the city, Mark II changed direction and flew rapidly into the sky.
At this moment, Jarvis suddenly sounded an alarm.
"Sir, something is approaching very quickly~"
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge bird with a body length of over 1 meter, a wingspan of over 2 meters, and a very impressive appearance appeared next to Tony.
"Brother Tony, I'm here!" Lin Yuan's voice reached Tony's ears.
"Lin?" Tony was shocked.
Yes, this bird was Lin Yuan, using his transformation ability. He had mentioned it to Tony before—that he could fly and wanted to visit his home. However, he had found Tony's Mark suit testing interesting and stayed in the lab!
It was only just now, when he saw Tony flying out, that he remembered. What surprised him was that the flying form granted by the "rabbit's unique skin" turned out to be the legendary Peng (Roc).
Of course, it was just the skin, and its size was equivalent to that of an ordinary large bird of prey. If it were truly as large as a Roc, he wouldn't dare to use it.
And although it was a little small, its speed was not slow at all. For example, right now, he could easily keep pace with the Mark II suit.
Lin Yuan could feel that as his magical power grew stronger, his flying speed should increase even more!
The dog system is indeed a super invincible auxiliary system. The optimization of auxiliary skills is truly amazing! Lin Yuan couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
Lin Yuan gave this flying form 5 stars! He was also looking forward to his other forms!
Tony looked at the armor on his body and then at the magnificent bird flying next to him!
I feel like the armor on my body doesn't look so good anymore!
This bird is so handsome!
I want one!
Chapter 15 I Can Kill You With Cuteness
"Jarvis, what is the flying altitude of the SR-71 Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft?"
"The altitude record for a fixed-wing aircraft is 85,000 feet!"
"Records are meant to be broken! Come on, Lin, let's see who can fly higher. Even if you can turn into a bird, a bird can't fly higher than a machine."
"That's not necessarily true, Tony. I'm not just any bird. I'm the Roc! The legendary beast from the Rabbit Family."
"Come on, let's compete!"
Two figures, one silver and one gold, rushed into the sky.
As the altitude got higher and higher, Lin Yuan felt a little chilly and saw a layer of frost forming on the surface of the Mark II armor next to him.
At this time, Jarvis also sounded the alarm: "Sir, ice has appeared on the surface of the aircraft. Ice may cause a major system failure!"
"Lin, are you okay?" Tony yelled to Lin Yuan beside him.
"It's so easy!" Lin Yuan felt no pressure at all.
"Then continue!" Tony's competitive spirit flared up again.
Three seconds later, the lower temperature caused the ice on the surface of the fuselage to thicken significantly, leading to a system crash and the Mark II shutting down.
"Ah~~~~" Tony let out a long scream and plummeted towards the ground.
Lin Yuan chuckled and transformed back into human form. Then he took out his cell phone and snapped a few photos.
Iron Man's embarrassing photo +1~
Changing back into his roc form, Lin Yuan let out a long cry and swooped down.
In an instant, the roc caught up with Tony, who was tumbling through the air. It extended its claws, grabbed Mark II's feet, stabilized the suit, lowered its head, and seemed to taunt, "What's wrong, Tony? Can't you do this?"
Tony was so angry his teeth itched. "Just you wait! When I improve myself and surpass you, I'll make you call me 'brother'!"
Lin Yuan laughed out loud.
"Okay, Tony, remove the ice first! We'll talk about it when we get back. I also have something to tell you!"
Soon, the Mark II, its system successfully restarted, was flying in the air again. The two chatted and flew back to the villa by the sea together.
On the rooftop of the villa, Tony hovered in the air.
"Turn off the power!" As soon as Tony finished speaking, Mark II smashed through the roof, crashing through the piano and floor on the first floor, and finally slamming into a luxury car in the underground parking lot.
The clumsy mechanical arm next to him finally seized the opportunity and excitedly sprayed Tony in the face with fire retardant.
Lin Yuan silently took out his cell phone.
+1 for Iron Man's embarrassing photo!!
After cleaning up the mess, Tony sat in front of the computer with a glass of green liquid.
Jarvis faithfully recorded Tony's improvement plans for the Mark armor.
"Brother Tony, you're drinking that to relieve the palladium poisoning, right?" Lin Yuan thought that Tony, now having the buff of Rejuvenation, shouldn't be suffering from palladium poisoning as severely as before. It seemed he had underestimated the potency of the palladium.
"How do you know?" Tony looked at Lin Yuan in surprise. He hadn't told anyone about this.
"Is it serious?" Lin Yuan asked with a worried expression.
"It's okay, I just feel a little uncomfortable. With your magic, it's no big deal!" Tony said dismissively.
"If you have any problems, please tell me. I should be able to help you solve this completely in a while," Lin Yuan said confidently. He couldn't use Detoxification yet, but when he could, any poison would be no problem.
"Lin, what's the deal with your transformation?" Tony changed the subject, asking curiously, "What kind of bird is that? It looks so cool!"
"That's one of my abilities. I have four forms in total: giant bear, cheetah, flying, and aquatic. The Roc just now was the flying form."
"A Roc? What kind of bird is it?"
Lin Yuan explained, "It's a bird in Chinese mythology, the Kunpeng. The 'Zhuangzi: Xiaoyaoyou' records: 'There is a fish in the North Sea, named Kun. The Kun is so large that no one knows how many thousands of miles it spans. It transforms into a bird, named Peng. The Peng's back is so vast that no one knows how many thousands of miles it covers.' The Roc I transform into is the Peng mentioned in the legend. I estimate that my aquatic form is most likely the Kun. Of course, my transformed forms can't be as large as the legends describe."
"Cool~~~" Tony was amazed. "What are your cheetah form and giant bear form like?"
"I haven't tried them yet. They should all be animal images unique to the Rabbit family!" Lin Yuan admitted he didn't know for sure.
"Then hurry up, change for me!" Tony looked interested. "Do you mind if I record it?"
"It's alright. I'll start then, beginning with the cheetah form."
After saying that, Lin Yuan disappeared from the spot, and what appeared in front of Tony was a ginger cat. Yes, a ginger cat.
Tony was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Hahahaha, Lin, is this the cheetah form you mentioned? This is clearly a fat cat!"
Lin Yuan was also confused.
He had always thought that the Kunpeng form was so majestic, so the cheetah form couldn't be too bad, right? Not to mention mythical creatures like the Zouwu, there might also be a Siberian tiger or a snow leopard, but he never expected it to be an orange cat, a fat orange cat at that!
"You damn system, come out and explain this to me!" Lin Yuan questioned the system internally.
The system voice, which hadn't appeared for a while, sounded in Lin Yuan's mind: "Host, you don't necessarily need to fight in cheetah form, so why the need to be so intimidating? You should know how wonderful cats are—safe and cute."
"Then you didn't have to give me a ginger cat! There are so many cats, and you chose the fattest one!" Lin Yuan gritted his teeth mentally.
"Host, in this world, orange cats are not to be underestimated!"
"Hiss~~" Lin Yuan took a mental breath of cold air. He remembered a certain internet meme. "Alright, alright, settle down!"
Tony was still laughing. "Come here, come here, let me pet you. Hahaha~"
Lin Yuan rolled his eyes at him and transformed back into human form.
"Come on, I won't laugh anymore. Actually, that cat is also very cute, just a little... well-fed!"
"Wipe that smirk off your face first. Do you want to see the other form?"
"Hahahahaha!" Tony was still chuckling. "Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore, just continue."
Lin Yuan originally didn't want to indulge Tony, but Tony insisted and strongly urged him to continue.
"Then stop laughing; I'm starting!"
With a flash of magical light, a giant bear form appeared.
"Oh my god, this is awesome!" Tony stood up with a look of surprise and hugged Lin Yuan.
Jarvis faithfully projected Lin Yuan's current appearance in front of him using a holographic display.
A cute giant panda.
Yes, it was a giant panda, the legendary iron-eating beast and Chiyou's mount. Chiyou relied on it to help defeat the Yellow Emperor.
Lin Yuan looked at the holographic projection in disbelief, then down at the black and white pattern on his body.
This was really a panda.
Did this dog system intend for him to defeat his enemies with this adorable image?
Although~~,
But~~~.
Lin Yuan thought, that's not entirely impossible!
