A Frank Conversation

Everyone enjoyed the hot pot dinner that day, but Rod kept talking non-stop all night. He felt a deep sense that he had fallen far behind Tony, Xia Yu, and the others.

It's not just themselves; the entire Earth has created a huge distance between itself and them.

For example, this hot pot meal. Although we know that Xia Yu has already been to the universe, our habitual thinking still makes us feel that leaving Earth is a very serious and great thing. But the Avengers and others actually came to outer space to watch Earth eat.

He's so casual! He'd change into a suit and tuxedo before going to a fancy restaurant in Manhattan, right? Xia Yu actually came up in a pair of slippers, which shows how casual they are about going into space.

And then there are all the topics everyone's been talking about: what are the Infinity Stones? What's Vibranium hybrid metal? What's the most powerful spaceship in the universe? Are you guys even talking about these things now?

Rhodey was last hurt by Tony's Nano Armor, which was still within his tolerance, but the things everyone was talking about this time deeply stung Rhodey's heart.

In particular, Tony seemed to be doing it on purpose, letting Spider-Man show off his Nano Armor.

Rhodey felt deeply hurt.

Once upon a time, after acquiring the Tony Armor, he felt he had reached the pinnacle of Earth. Every time he carried out a mission or exercise, he took off and landed amidst the envious gazes of everyone in the military.

You have to act nonchalant, but inside you're absolutely thrilled.

"Ugh!~!~!"

After finishing his meal and returning home, Rhodey, who was suffering from insomnia, remembered the strange look Tony had given him.

He silently began to calculate when he could apply for resignation.

Having suffered a severe blow, Rhodey, who usually led a very regular life, fell into a deep state of insomnia tonight, until the Sun rose.

The party that everyone had been looking forward to finally arrived. The date was chosen to be a weekend that was convenient for everyone. The Avengers members boarded the yacht early and headed to a place far from the coastline.

Everyone decided to take a good rest all day. The party officially started in the evening, and the wealthy Tony arranged for three large helicopters to pick up and drop off the guests on the shore.

Meanwhile, the Avengers' own people at the Avengers Compound, including Spider-Man, Aunt May, and Rhodey, boarded the yacht early with everyone else.

Barbecue, swimming, playing games, fishing; a carefree day.

Aside from Natasha remembering how Xia Yu and Tony had slept around with dozens of models on this yacht and giving Xia Yu a good pinch, everything else was perfect.

Finally, evening arrived, and the party officially began. After the helicopter made two round trips to pick up all the guests, Tony once again set off huge fireworks at the stern of the ship to announce the official start of the revelry.

However, this time Tony didn't hire a DJ; he simply set up many dazzling lights on the boat.

Xia Yu wandered aimlessly around the boat, hoping to bump into the white-haired old man.

Especially towards places with lots of beautiful women.

In Xia Yu's previous life, the old man made countless cameo appearances in Marvel movies, playing various roles such as a deliveryman, a school bus driver, and someone from an alien planet.

But most of the time, the old man is always surrounded by one or more beautiful women.

So Xia Yu started looking for places with lots of beautiful women.

Fortunately Natasha and Aunt May were busy talking about Spider-Man and didn't notice Xia Yu's unusual behavior. Otherwise, Xia Yu might have been pinched several times tonight, especially on a yacht with such a history of misconduct.

Xia Yu searched everywhere but couldn't find the old man. Helpless, he went to Tony and Thor to listen to them praising their girlfriends to each other.

Tony said that Pepper Potts runs the world's largest economy and is one of the best women in the world, while Thor said that Jane Fortes is now the best astrophysicist on Earth and may be a contender for the Nobel Prize next year, and so on.

People nearby rolled their eyes at the sight, and Xia Yu even gave the two of them the middle finger.

Two Avengers, they have no shame whatsoever. Xia Yu despised them.

Sitting at the bar counter inside the ship, Xia Yu looked at the two shameless Avengers standing beside him with utter contempt, preparing to turn around and listen to Rhodey's unfunny joke.

Then, turning around, I saw Stan Old Master Li's kind and gentle face.

Then, just like entering the system space in The Matrix, everything around him disappeared, leaving only the bar counter and two chairs, with Old Master Li and Xia Yu sitting opposite each other.

"I'm glad you didn't stop Ultron from appearing. It seems you understood what I meant last time."

Old Master Li and Xia Yu were becoming increasingly explicit in their conversations.

"Ultron's appearance is related to Vision. Actually, I don't mind if Ultron doesn't appear, but I think Vision should appear."

This was their third meeting, and Xia Yu was much more relaxed than before.

"I don't understand? Grandpa, the first time you met me you told me to just do as I pleased, the second time you told me not to change too many things, I don't understand!" Xia Yu continued to ask.

The old man picked up his wine glass, took a large sip slowly, and then spoke to Xia Yu.

"At the beginning, your abilities were limited, and you couldn't change too many things. I was afraid that this would hinder your growth. But now you can change a lot of things, so you need to restrain yourself a little."

"What would happen if many things changed? You mentioned last time that you would be targeted. Who exactly are they? Or rather, who are you?"

This time, Xia Yu decided to get straight to the point and ask some substantive questions.

"If you change too much, it will cause a backlash, a violent backlash. Never do that until you have absolute power."

The old man did not answer Xia Yu's last two questions.

But Xia Yu didn't intend to just let it go this time, and asked again, "Who's targeting you? Who's retaliating against you? And who exactly are you?"

"The Reality Stone is inside you, isn't it? You use it as a weapon and Armor, which is great. But when you're transforming your Armor or weapons, do you pay attention to every detail?"

The old man didn't answer Xia Yu's question directly, but instead asked Xia Yu a question in return.

"No!" Xia Yu said honestly. Since he already knew how it would turn out, who would pay attention to every detail?

"Binggo." The old man snapped his the Snap trembling.

"That's right, you already know what it will look like, and you don't care about the details. Let me ask you this: if your transmogrified Armor has even the slightest size discrepancy, like the left breastplate being a millimeter larger than the right, would you notice?"

Xia Yu shook his head again. He said that he might not even notice a millimeter or a centimeter unless he observed it carefully.

"What if there's a large bulge protruding from the chest?" the old man continued to ask.

"That's definitely not right. I need to check it carefully and re-transform it," Xia Yu said without hesitation.

He was stunned for a moment after saying that, and then he understood many things.

However, the old man still didn't tell Xia Yu what he wanted to know, so Xia Yu changed the subject.

"What if I have to make drastic changes to some things? Like, Tony and Natasha!"

Xia Yu steeled himself and said it directly.

There will be another chapter tonight!
