"Is this it? Why is it a bit different from the armor I saw online?"

Tony brought Chen Mu to the research lab and then to a suit of Iron Armor. Chen Mu looked at the armor and asked somewhat curiously.

Because this suit of armor was pure silver-white, without any paint. This was Mark 2, and Chen Mu naturally recognized it, but he had to pretend not to know.

"This is Mark II, an upgraded version of my armor. As for the paint, I haven't had time to add it yet. I'll add color to it later," Tony said calmly. He wouldn't admit that the armor he was letting Chen Mu wear was his discarded armor. Keeping it here was merely for collection value to him.

Tony had even reproduced the Mark I prototype and placed it in his collection room, referring to the clunky armor he had built in the cave.

Mark II, on the other hand, was the first suit of armor he had officially manufactured. It was while piloting it that he first flew in the sky. The armor he was currently using was Mark III, which had many problems improved. Of course, it was also the first time it was painted in his favorite gold and red, Iron Man's iconic armor.

Originally, Tony didn't have a "habit of collecting." However, after being ambushed by Obadiah and having his Arc Reactor stolen, he almost died. Fortunately, the reactor that he had previously asked Little Pepper to discard was collected by her and placed aside, saving his life. After that, he developed the habit of collecting old armor. Who knew if something would go wrong in the future, allowing him to have a backup.

"So that's how it is. But honestly, armor without paint looks even cooler!" Chen Mu nodded, appearing to believe him.

"Then, you can try it on. Jarvis, help Mr. Chen Mu put on Mark II." Tony directly instructed Jarvis and then motioned for Chen Mu to walk onto the platform of the donning equipment.

At this moment, the Iron Armor donning equipment was much more primitive than later models, but it was also the most mechanical. Chen Mu stood on the platform, and mechanical arms extended from all directions, disassembling Mark II and quickly donning it onto Chen Mu's body. It was very fast.

In less than a minute, Chen Mu had finished donning the Mark II armor and stood on the platform.

"How is it?" Tony asked, watching this scene with a smile. To be honest, if Chen Mu hadn't claimed to be an "Iron Man" fan, he might not have let him try on the armor.

"It's great, it feels so advanced!" Looking at the virtual display screen in front of him, Chen Mu marveled. He had to admit that Tony was truly a genius. The appearance of the Iron Armor was truly breathtaking.

"Can I try flying?" Chen Mu didn't have the command authority for Jarvis, so he could only ask.

"Of course, no problem. Jarvis, take Mr. Chen Mu for a flight outside." Tony said generously. After all, it was just letting Chen Mu fly, he wasn't so stingy as to refuse.

"Yes, sir." After Jarvis spoke, the wall behind Chen Mu opened, and he was already in the sky. Before he could react, the armor took him off and flew out the window, quickly circling Stark Tower once.

"Mark II armor, 100% analysis." "Portable Arc Reactor, 100% analysis." "Jarvis intelligent program, 100% analysis."

Killing three birds with one stone, Chen Mu was overjoyed.

"This is simply, too awesome!" Mark II returned to the building and went back to the platform. The mechanical arms quickly removed the armor from Chen Mu. Chen Mu still had an expression of wanting more, saying excitedly.

He was genuinely excited. He had only pretended to be Tony's fan, and unexpectedly, he had obtained three technologies he had dreamed of all at once! He finally got his hands on the Iron Man armor. Although it was only Mark II, it was actually not much different from Mark III. It was just a change in materials, adding an anti-icing system, and the weapon system. The other differences were not significant. What Chen Mu didn't expect was that Mark II also had an Arc Reactor! But then again, Tony keeping Mark II was not only for collection but also for emergencies. Therefore, Tony had also installed a reactor on Mark II. Moreover, if he remembered correctly, this Mark II was the armor he later gave to his good friend, Colonel Rhodey, the future War Machine. Rhodey didn't have a reactor on him, so it was reasonable for this Mark II to have a reactor. As for the Jarvis system? Was it because Tony copied a copy into every suit of armor? In any case, with just this one instance, Chen Mu had obtained all the technology he wanted!

'Xiao Ai, research and break through the technology of Mark II.' Having obtained the technology, Chen Mu eagerly instructed Xiao Ai to conduct research and breakthroughs. This way, Chen Mu could even manufacture an armor more advanced than Tony's Mark III!

"I'm glad you like it," Tony nodded and said, "Let's go. I'll show you the sights and sounds of New York. Also, I'll be hosting a party tonight, inviting all sorts of media, and promoting our new phone!"

"Oh, right. At that time, in the phone, the Jarvis intelligent program definitely can't be called Jarvis anymore. Do you have any plans? What would be a suitable name for it?"

"What name? Let me think, how about calling it 'Siri'?"

"Siri? Hmm, that sounds pretty good." Tony nodded, somewhat agreeing with the name. If it were a more Chinese-style name, he would definitely have refused. But for "Siri," he had no reason to refuse. So, Tony enthusiastically put his arm around Chen Mu's shoulder and headed towards the elevator.

Everything that needed to be done had been done, and everything that needed to make you "feel good" had been done. Now, it was time to get down to business.

While Tony might not seem interested in money, as a financial genius, how could he not love it?

Didn't he quickly look for new industries after closing the weapons division in the original plan?

It's just that now, with Chen Mu's presence, Obadiah, that old geezer, wanted to use mobile phones to enter the Chinese market. Through various coincidences, Tony also saw the future prospects of the mobile phone industry and was simply preparing to get involved.

And Chen Mu also presented some good products, which made Tony see him in a new light, somewhat acknowledging this young collaborator.

However, if Tony knew that Chen Mu had taken some of his technologies after merely trying on his Mark 2, would he be so angry he'd spit up three liters of blood?

This is truly impossible to guard against!
