For the next stretch of time, Li Si behaved himself quite well at Shao Industries.
Of course, that was only relative. He did not interfere with Liwen Shao's management of the company, but the newly established New Mecha Project Department had become his personal domain. He showed no restraint when requisitioning resources and personnel.
In less than two days, a lavish Research and Development team consisting of cross-industry employees from Stein Group, Otto Gunther, Samuel Sterns, Li Si, and Tony Stark was officially formed, launching into the great endeavor of building mechas with fervent enthusiasm.
Perhaps because he had started competing with Li Si, Tony Stark cooperated with him while still independently building his own mecha. He exchanged information with Li Si's R&D team, while Amara eagerly darted between laboratories every day to observe and learn. Cute and sweet-tongued, she quickly became everyone's mascot and little errand runner.
"Master, Master, Doctor Otto asked me to tell you that the Arc Reactor has been set up."
That day, Amara once again scampered into Li Si's laboratory.
"Mm, got it."
Li Si replied flatly, his eyes fixed on the holographic interface before him as his hands continued operating it.
Displayed on the panel was an incomparably complex structural blueprint for a mecha. Above it was a line of text—[Calamity Demon God].

After seeing Li Si's progress, Tony Stark had been bottling up his competitive drive. He was now so anxious that he stayed cooped up in the laboratory all day without stepping outside.
Overall,
