Showing Off

For a week, Chen Mu stayed in the laboratory in the industrial zone all day, with Xu Jia taking care of his daily life. He remained in the lab, giving the impression that he was researching something.

Finally, on this day, Chen Mu emerged, holding a brand-new suit of armor.

In reality, this armor was an improved version of the Mark 2. However, thanks to the production capabilities of the Huaqiangbei System, the materials used for this suit were vibranium!

The production line of Huaqiangbei was simply unreasonable. It had no consumption whatsoever, yet it could produce anything one desired.

Of course, this suit of armor had actually been completed a few days ago, but Chen Mu didn't want to reveal it prematurely, so he chose to wait a few more days before taking it out.

During the extra time, Chen Mu had actually made several more identical suits of armor, just in case.

"It's time to have a chat with Tony Stark..."

Chen Mu had not forgotten how Tony had mocked him a month ago in America, looking down on him and saying he couldn't make an Iron Armor. Although Chen Mu hadn't said anything at the time, he was determined to prove Tony wrong and had not forgotten about it.

Therefore, these vibranium armors were essentially no different in appearance from the Mark 2, and were basically the same as Tony's armor. The only difference was their color – the pitch-black luster of vibranium.

Of course, the color of the paint could be changed, and it wouldn't have any impact.

"Hongmeng, call Tony."

With a surge of determination, Chen Mu had Hongmeng dial Tony's number.

"Hey, Chen Mu, good to see you. How's the phone production going?"

Just like Stark Industries' projection screen, a screen was projected in front of Chen Mu, displaying Tony's image.

At this moment, he was embracing a beautiful blonde woman, clearly carousing in a bar. It was nighttime in America, on the opposite side of the globe, so it was quite normal for Tony to be at a bar.

"The phones are definitely fine. We've reached a stock of five million units, with a daily production capacity of 200,000. We can start global sales anytime."

The cooperation on the phones had also been ongoing. Chen Mu had handed this matter over to his father. According to Chen Mu's plan, over a dozen new production bases had been built in China, greatly increasing the production capacity.

"China is really amazing!"

Tony exclaimed in admiration. As expected of the world's factory, China's industrial capabilities truly impressed him.

If the phone production were handed over to American factories, he doubted they could achieve such a level.

"Alright, the launch event is in three days. I hope you can come to America. This time, together, we'll definitely make a splash in the mobile phone industry!"

Tony was very confident. He had been using the Xiao Mu Phone these past few days, and he couldn't put it down. It was no wonder others felt the same. Therefore, he had no doubt that the Xiao Mu Phone would capture the market.

"Of course, no problem."

Although Stark held seventy percent of the shares, it wasn't a big deal for Chen Mu. Whatever Tony gained now, he would eventually have to give back.

"By the way, it's so late, why are you calling me?"

Tony asked curiously, finding it peculiar.

"A month ago, didn't I tell you I was going to make a suit of armor for fun?"

Chen Mu smiled, looking at Tony meaningfully.

"What? You gave up?"

Tony nodded, a look of amusement on his face. "You should have given up on this kind of thing long ago. There's no need for you to waste time on it. Instead of wasting time, why not think about how to design new phones?"

Tony couldn't help but admire Chen Mu's talent in phone design. The Xiao Mu Phone was truly remarkable.

"Heh heh... Look, what is this?"

Chen Mu chuckled and turned the camera to the side. A dark and imposing suit of armor stood there.

This was the vibranium armor that Chen Mu had created. In reality, it looked very similar to Tony's Mark 3, but the materials were entirely different.

"This... you made a model?"

Seeing this, Tony couldn't help but be surprised, but he still didn't believe Chen Mu could actually make an Iron Armor.

Coupled with the pitch-black color of vibranium, he had to assume that this suit of armor was actually a toy model...

One that hadn't even been painted yet.

"What do you think?"

Chen Mu asked playfully. He snapped his fingers, controlling the armor to activate. Its eyes emitted light, and the Arc Reactor in its chest also lit up with a blue glow.

The Arc Reactor had been activated.

"This!"

At this moment, Tony was startled. He had been sitting on the sofa, but upon seeing this, he couldn't help but stand up, pushing aside the woman next to him, and stared at the screen in disbelief.

Chen Mu had actually made an armor?

In Tony's opinion, making an Iron Armor wasn't that difficult; it was merely a matter of physical structure. What he found truly unbelievable was that Chen Mu could create an Arc Reactor?

With his expertise, he could naturally tell that the triangular Arc Reactor on the black armor was not just for show but a real power source. In fact, it even seemed more advanced than his own Arc Reactor!

"How is it? Cool, right?"

Chen Mu looked at the dumbfounded Tony with immense pride.

"This, this, how is this possible!"

Tony stammered, unable to believe it, and asked, "How could you possibly create an Arc Reactor?"

The Arc Reactor, even within Stark Industries, was highly classified. Tony found it hard to imagine how anyone else could have created a reactor!

Especially since it was made by a Chinese person he didn't particularly think much of.

"This isn't the Arc Reactor."

Chen Mu glanced at Tony with disdain, feeling a bit speechless. The guy was truly shameless, claiming the reactor as his own.

Even though this thing did originate from his Stark Industries, you don't have proof!

"It's this thing that wasted a lot of my time. I looked up information on Wikipedia and originally wanted to try building an Arc Reactor myself, but I just couldn't succeed. So, I tried developing a new element, and unexpectedly, it worked!"

"..."

According to the information on Wikipedia, you definitely couldn't build a reactor!

But, you just tried developing a new element and succeeded?

At this moment, Tony was speechless, falling into silence, unsure of what to say.

Were you going to accuse Chen Mu of plagiarizing your technology? But he was clearly more advanced than you!

Tony simply couldn't bring himself to say such a shameless thing!

He was currently troubled by the problem of palladium poisoning and wanted to find a new element to replace palladium. Now, you're suddenly appearing and saying that you tried to research the Arc Reactor, couldn't figure it out, but instead created an element and built a more powerful Arc Reactor!

Looking at the armor on the phone screen, with the triangle glowing a faint blue on its chest, Tony fell into silence.
