As Alvin silently prayed to the Emperor Lord not to blame him, he was unaware that the drunk Tony had made a bold decision.

"J.A.R.V.I.S., prepare for flight test." Tony, fully armed, staggered off the assembly platform and waved his hand.

"Sir, I've detected that you are currently intoxicated, with a probability of danger exceeding 95%. I do not recommend you proceed with the flight test in this state." As an intelligent butler, J.A.R.V.I.S. could only sincerely advise Stark not to risk his life.

"Hey, J.A.R.V.I.S., have you ever heard a saying?"

However, Tony was unconcerned and said carelessly, "Before we learn to walk, we must first learn to run."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Tony, J.A.R.V.I.S. could only place his hope on Alvin, who was beside him. "Mr. Valshus, could you please try to persuade Mr. Stark?"

In Tony's current state, he could barely walk without swaying. If he actually flew into the sky in his armor, who knew what accidents might happen.

What if he crashed into the Empire State Building? It would be quite comical if 911 happened again.

But unfortunately, before Alvin could even speak, Tony, impatient, directly activated the energy pack on his back.

Boom.

Four scorching vents poured out deep blue Energy.

The next moment, Tony, piloting the Mark II, like a heavy bomber, smashed through the obstacles in his path.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from Alvin's sight.

"Uh, you're a bit late," he said, pinching the bridge of his nose with a headache, grinding his teeth. "All we can do now is pray that this guy doesn't get into any trouble."

Humanity's greatest dream is to soar through the sky like birds!

For this, humans created airplanes and rockets, exploring further into the unknown. Flight has always symbolized the pursuit of knowledge and the courage to explore the future!

And at this moment, Tony, detached from the bulky and massive vehicles like airplanes and rockets, personally experienced the thrill of flying at high altitudes!

The silver humanoid battle suit, powered by the Energy backpack, broke the sound barrier at one point!

Boom!

The piercing sonic boom created a ring of sonic boom clouds in the sky!

He flew into the clouds, heading towards the moon that seemed within reach, his face filled with uncontrollable ecstasy.

Stimulated by alcohol, the continuous pleasure almost engulfed Tony, making him unable to resist letting out excited yells: "Woohoo--! Did you see that? Alvin, I conquered the sky, I'm flying, this feeling is f***ing awesome!"

"Ahem, excuse me, may I interrupt you for a moment?"

At this time, Alvin's voice came from inside the helmet: "I'm seeing your altitude continuously climbing vertically. Just a question. Have you prepared for the possibility of freezing due to cold at high altitudes?"

Tony, who had been excitedly yelling just moments before, suddenly fell silent.

"J.A.R.V.I.S.?"

"Apologies, sir, your preset plan does not include any measures for dealing with cold and freezing at high altitudes."

Within two and a half seconds of that statement, Tony glanced at the vertical altitude displayed on the left side of his helmet.

It had already surpassed the highest record of the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft, reaching an astonishing eighty-six thousand feet. But at this moment, it brought him not surprise, but sheer terror!

"Sir, the engine vents are icing over!"

As J.A.R.V.I.S. finished speaking, the armor lost power directly, and even the system temporarily shut down.

Well, it turns out he did fall after all!

Seeing Tony's communication cut off, Alvin was speechless. He swore he had warned him as quickly as possible, but he didn't expect Tony to ascend so fast.

"Aaaah--!"

What was it like to experience freefall from eighty-six thousand feet in the air?

Tony's answer was: it was thrilling, his heart almost stopped beating!

"J.A.R.V.I.S., open the ailerons!"

But unfortunately, due to the high-altitude icing, the armor's system had already been shut down.

"Oh, sh*t!" During the rapid descent, the airflow made it impossible for Tony to maintain a proper posture. He was like a spinning top, cutting through the night sky at super high speed.

Good news: at the last moment, he successfully activated the ailerons manually.

The ice layer on the armor's surface shattered, and as the system restarted, it finally regained some power.

But the bad news was: Tony glanced at the ground. The conditions were completely insufficient to take off again, so he could only try to slow down the speed of his fall as much as possible.

Then, he chose a relatively comfortable posture and plunged headfirst into the ground like a plow.

RUMBLE!!!

Fortunately, there was no one nearby; it seemed to be an abandoned factory area.

Thanks to the armor's excellent shock absorption system and the hardness of its alloy material, Tony broke through the factory's fence with his head and plowed for dozens of meters before stopping.

"How was the eighty-six thousand feet high bungee jumping experience?"

Alvin's teasing laughter came from inside the helmet.

"Super thrilling, I'd do it again!"

Even though Tony's heart nearly stopped from the shock, he still put on a brave face, "Hey, I just broke the record for the highest altitude a Human has ever flown, give me some applause!"

"Uh, excuse me, did I interrupt you?"

Tony limped, leaning on the wall. As soon as he stood up, he saw two people standing beside him.

One was wearing a red and blue form-fitting suit with an inverted spider emblem on the chest, like a heroic "Zorro," though his taste was frankly a bit lacking.

As for the other, Tony was silent for half a second, a complex and shocked expression appearing on his face: "J.A.R.V.I.S., did I drink too much? Why do I see a Lizard?"

"Sir, according to environmental data analysis, you are not hallucinating."

J.A.R.V.I.S., using its battle armor mode, scanned the Lizard directly and stated truthfully, "The target is suspected to be a mutated product with Lizard genes, and judging from the residual combat traces nearby, Sir is highly likely to be on the enemy's side."

"Hey, Spider-Kid, is this guy your enemy?" Tony turned his head to look at the person who seemed to be "justice."

"Wait a minute, can you explain why you fell from the sky?!"

Spider-Man's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. He exclaimed, clutching his head, "Good heavens, I'm really curious, why didn't you turn into a puddle of meat after falling from tens of thousands of feet?"

He was, after all, a top student from a prestigious university, excelling particularly in applied physics.

For this tin can in front of him to fall from tens of thousands of feet, even with several decelerations along the way, he shouldn't be completely unharmed, right?

What kind of shock-absorbing material could be this effective?

"Probably because the shock-absorbing system I designed is quite powerful."

Tony didn't hide his praise for himself, boasting smugly, "Fortunately, I anticipated the possibility of a collision beforehand, so I designed a separate shock-absorbing system!"

"Uh, sorry to interrupt you two, but the Lizard mutant over there is gone."

J.A.R.V.I.S.'s voice came through the armor, directly into their ears.

"Where did he go?!"

Spider-Man whipped his head around, his body stiffening.

The Lizard-Man he had been painstakingly chasing for so long had actually vanished without a trace!

"From the looks of it, he probably escaped through the sewer pipes." Tony glanced at the lifted manhole cover, shrugging, and said somewhat guiltily, "You can't blame me for this, you weren't paying attention."

Even though he was wearing a mask, Tony could clearly feel the intense resentment radiating from the other's gaze.

"Ahem, listen, Spider-Kid, this was an accident."

Tony cleared his throat a couple of times, putting on an innocent act. "If you don't mind, how about... I treat you to a drink?"

I've read all your comments~ I'll make the necessary changes promptly~ I hope you'll give me more follow-ups and monthly votes. This new book period relies entirely on you gentlemen. Otherwise, if the recommendation is lost, I'll likely have to put it on shelves early OTZ
