First Awkward Encounter with Tony

If I hadn't just obtained the Soaring Skill, I would definitely be incredibly jealous. Even so, a part of me still felt a pang of sourness. Why did he naturally possess the very thing I single-mindedly pursued?

Skye's 'Possessed by Evil Spirit' was vastly different when she equipped it compared to when I did. Besides the pair of wings that resembled dragon wings, the armor she wore was a somewhat sexy, female-style armor, primarily protecting the vital areas of her body.

Just by looking at it, it was clear that its defensive capabilities were several times weaker than when I equipped it.

Skye, experiencing this kind of power for the first time, was also feeling her own changes. Because her face was half-covered by the face mask, I couldn't see her expression, but the fact that she immediately leaped into the sky told me how excited she was.

Worried that the flight would be too taxing for Skye, I immediately used the Soaring Skill to follow her.

Under the sky, Skye soared rapidly. Her silver-white figure was like a bright, flashing meteor. As she streaked past me, she excitedly shouted, "Feeney, this armor is amazing!!!"

Nonsense, who would know better than me how amazing 'Possessed by Evil Spirit' is!?

I rolled my eyes, feeling a bit speechless at the ecstatic Skye. But seeing how happy she was, I didn't say much more.

'Possessed by Evil Spirit' was powerful, but it was an armor that consumed stamina as its price. Skye, who had only managed to equip it by relying on the 'Golden Great Deduction Technique' for enhancement, couldn't fly for more than a few minutes before she was exhausted and landed, automatically disengaging the armor.

Skye, so weak she could barely stand, still had an excited expression on her face, which was enough to show how happy she had been just moments before. "Feeney, how fast was I flying just now? Was it comparable to an airplane?"

Hearing this, I retorted with a touch of annoyance, "What are you thinking? You probably couldn't even catch up to an airplane's exhaust fumes."

Actually, with the evolutionary capabilities of 'Possessed by Evil Spirit,' its flight speed might not be inferior to an airplane's. But unfortunately, Skye herself was too weak. The speed she flew at just now was even slower than a car, and she still wanted to compare it to an airplane.

Skye didn't seem upset by this. She maintained her happy demeanor, then looked at me with her big, watery eyes, pleading, "Feeney, do you have any spare armor like this?"

"No, only one. I need it for myself. Not lending, thanks!"

I immediately cut off Skye's thoughts and added, "Besides, even if I gave it to you now, you couldn't use it. If you want to use it, you need to train your body well in the future. Using it consumes a lot of stamina."

Skye, having experienced it firsthand, understood the meaning of my words and immediately put on a determined expression, saying, "Starting tomorrow, I'm going to start running and working out."

This action allowed Skye to experience power while also saving her from her increasingly chubby physique. I felt this endeavor was quite worthwhile.

Looking at the weak Skye, I first sent her home to rest. Only then did I open a portal again to return here, preparing to continue testing my abilities.

Under the starry sky, on Mount Everest, I, clad in 'Possessed by Evil Spirit,' soared freely using the 'Soaring Skill.'

The Soaring Skill is an application of Qi, so its speed is not fixed. Just like how even 'Sumire's Fried Chicken Roll' can improve, every skill drawn by the system seems to have growth potential.

Therefore, the speed of the Soaring Skill primarily stems from my Qi Mastery and the Body's Limit.

While equipped with 'Possessed by Evil Spirit,' the limit of my speed tolerance is hard to say for now. However, at the current limit of my Qi Control, the maximum speed is not too fast.

Well, at least it's not supersonic yet.

I felt a bit disappointed. I remembered that Tony Stark was already easily breaking the supersonic barrier when he was building the Mark III.

Fortunately, I had only just obtained the Soaring Skill and hadn't practiced it much. And if I used the powerhouses in Dragon Ball as a reference, the potential upper limit was still very high.

After experiencing 'Possessed by Evil Spirit,' Skye indeed started working out. Her diligent efforts made me look at her with new eyes.

This made me recall that if I hadn't arrived, according to Skye's original fate, she would have become an Agent for S.H.I.E.L.D. It seemed her talent was still there.

Time quietly passed day by day. After Tony Stark returned and announced the closure of his weapons development department, all the media were focused on him, but he had gone into hiding.

Besides me and Tony's Assistant, Pepper Potts, no one else should know what he was doing.

"It's been almost three months. He should be almost done building it."

In the living room, watching the still immensely popular Tony Stark on television, I calculated the time in my mind, feeling that the Mark II might be close to completion by now.

"Should I go check things out?"

As soon as this idea popped into my head, I couldn't help but feel eager.

In fact, for the past two months, I had been pondering how to participate in this Iron Man Battle. But I hadn't come up with anything.

The most important point was that I didn't even know the date of the big fight between the two. If I waited for the news report and then rushed over, it might already be over.

So, I had been hesitating whether to take the initiative to control the timing of this battle and then participate.

But this also presented a problem: for the Iron Monger to appear, the Miniature Arc Reactor was indispensable. However, only Tony knew how to build this thing. How could I get one of these things for the Iron Monger?

Relying on my invisibility, teleportation, and flight capabilities, I decided to go to Tony's home to check the situation, get a grasp of his current dynamics, and if possible, use this to pinpoint the potential appearance time of the Iron Monger.

With that thought, I began to act. Although I really wanted to use the 'Compass' to locate him, I couldn't fully commit my mind to going to Tony's house. Helplessly, I had to ask Skye to meticulously search online. After finally confirming the location, I took a taxi according to the map and headed over.

Looking at the luxurious seaside villa before me, I suddenly felt that having more money seemed like a good thing. Anyway, now that I could open portals, I didn't need to worry too much about distance. Buying a large villa and enjoying myself seemed like a pretty good idea.

While my thoughts were racing in my mind, I quietly found a secluded spot, equipped 'Possessed by Evil Spirit,' and activated invisibility.

I first tried to enter through the front door, but when I found it wouldn't work, I reluctantly chose to activate a portal and entered the luxurious villa. I then quietly snuck towards the underground studio.

However, having stayed in Kamar-Taj for too long, I had forgotten that science, while different from magic, still had its unique aspects. As a result, as soon as I reached the entrance of the underground studio, I vaguely heard a voice.

"Sir, we detected some abnormal activity in your living room just now. This is the recorded footage from that time. We suspect an unknown threat has infiltrated your house."

Immediately after, I saw Tony, with parts of his armor equipped on his arm, pointing the weapon on his palm towards the door, scanning the surroundings with a solemn expression.

At that moment, I felt like such an idiot. Why did I look down on artificial intelligence? How could I forget about surveillance? And also, why would someone install surveillance cameras in their own home!

I felt utterly exhausted. I had once again messed up my first meeting with a Big Shot.

But now, is it still too late to leave!?
