How Did I Not Think of This Method?

It was a pity that, in the end, no one got to see the billionaire relieve himself in public.

Because another Steel Armor had appeared on the scene.

"The party is over, everyone out!"

The newcomer was Tony Stark's good friend, Colonel Rhodey.

He had donned the Steel Armor, prepared to forcibly end this farce.

But Du Mu saw through it at a glance.

It was obvious that Tony had intentionally let him wear it.

Otherwise, how could someone without authorization possibly put on the Steel Armor? Did they really think Jarvis, that super-intelligent AI, didn't exist?

"Boring."

Du Mu shook his head, his look of fearing the world wouldn't be chaotic enough leaving Natasha speechless.

She regretted it.

She feared that if she let this guy persuade Tony, Tony wouldn't even be able to last 72 hours.

Natasha said quickly, "You stay here and keep an eye on Tony; I'm going to report the situation to the Director."

With that, she immediately turned and left.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

At this moment, the two Steel Armors were already fighting, trading blows with iron fists in a frenzy.

They fought from the hall to the gym, from the second floor to the first.

In an instant, the mansion was covered in the traces of the passionate brawl between Tony Stark and Rhodey.

By the end, both were desperate; they charged their repulsors and fired energy beams at each other simultaneously.

BOOM!!

The two energy blasts collided violently, instantly unleashing a powerful shockwave that rippled outward!

Fortunately, the crowd inside had been evacuated beforehand, otherwise, Tony Stark and Rhodey's kill count would have certainly increased by several dozen.

When the dust settled, Rhodey flew away in that silver Steel Armor without looking back, leaving Tony Stark lying alone in the ruins.

Du Mu kicked aside a piece of debris blocking his path, walked up to Tony Stark, and tapped on the steel faceplate with his finger.

"Hey, you dead yet?"

"Not yet."

The steel faceplate opened, revealing Tony Stark's exhausted face.

At his neck, one could see veins turning a distinct black, spreading upward like circuit patterns.

[NPC: Tony Stark]
[Codename: Iron Man]
[Affinity: 70]
[Evaluation: The representative figure of "the rich rely on technology, the poor rely on mutation," Tony Stank, Marvel Kryptonian]
[Status: Palladium Poisoning]

Good grief, in one day he had gathered both representatives of "the rich rely on technology, the poor rely on mutation."

Du Mu looked at Tony Stark's miserable state and asked curiously, "You were fine before, how did you suddenly end up like this?"

Tony Stark was silent for a few seconds before slowly speaking, "It's the Reactor... its energy core is palladium. Every time a palladium plate is consumed, a small amount of the element seeps into my blood, gradually destroying my circulatory system."

"But didn't you say that one palladium plate is enough to supply the Reactor with energy for decades?"

"That's under minimum power consumption. As soon as I put on the armor, the energy consumption increases drastically. I've been searching for a substitute for palladium, trying every possible combination of all known elements, but in the end, none have succeeded."

Perhaps because he had been holding it in for too long, Tony Stark blurted out his entire situation.

Du Mu asked in confusion, "So why don't you just install the Reactor onto the Steel Armor? Wouldn't that prevent the palladium from flowing into your body?"

Tony Stark: "..."

Right! Why hadn't he thought of that solution!?

Tony Stark wore a mournful expression, "It's too late, it's already too late."

There was basically no treatment plan for Palladium Poisoning.

After all, no one in history had ever installed a miniature nuclear reactor in their own chest; Tony Stark could be considered the first, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to name the disease after him.

"It's just a poison debuff, is there any need to act like you're at death's door?"

As Du Mu spoke, he pulled a strangely green potion out of his game inventory.

[Item: Antidote Potion (Can remove all poison status effects; synthesis materials include poison glands, seaweed, and coral)]

Before Tony Stark could even ask, Du Mu popped the cap, pried open Tony Stark's mouth, and poured it in.

"Mmph--!"

Tony was too weak to resist, forced to drink the thick green liquid in the bottle.

"Damn it! What the hell did you make me drink?" Tony felt a strange taste rush to his head.

"Antidote Potion, take a look for yourself."

Du Mu pulled out a small mirror and shoved it in front of Tony.

Through the mirror, Tony was shocked to find that the black lines on his neck had completely disappeared!

At the same time, a long-lost sense of ease flowed through his body, as if a heavy burden had been lifted!

"Sir, your palladium levels have dropped to less than 1%, and the symptoms of Palladium Poisoning have disappeared." Jarvis's voice sounded at the right time.

It was gone!

And it wasn't just alleviated, it was completely cured!

Tony couldn't quite believe it.

The Palladium Poisoning that had plagued him for days and was considered an incurable disease had been solved by a bottle of unknown green potion?

"You saved me again."

Tony looked at Du Mu with a complicated expression.

If he counted, this was the third time Du Mu had saved his life.

Du Mu waved his hand indifferently: "It's a small matter, consider it a reward for the entertainment you provided me tonight."

He took out his phone, opened the photo album, and played the highlights from tonight.

It was the part where Tony publicly drank his own urine.

"When I'm short of money later, I'll post this video and make a fortune. I've already thought of the title: Shocking! Iron Man Actually Drinks Urine in Public!"

Tony: "..."

I feel like I'd be better off dead!

Not long after, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents arrived at the scene.

Leading them was S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury, who had finally left his office.

Behind him followed Natasha, who had already changed into a sleek black combat suit.

Seeing Natasha's attire, Tony looked surprised and said, "So you're a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent too? I didn't expect you to be so well-hidden!"

Seeing this, Du Mu also sighed: "I'm sorry Tony, actually, I'm also an undercover agent. I've been hiding by your side as a bodyguard all this time. I guess you wouldn't have guessed, right?"

Tony's mouth twitched slightly: "..."

No, I guessed it completely. Even with half my intelligence, I could tell you were an undercover agent.

Next, Nick Fury ordered all S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to leave the second-floor hall, as he wanted to have a private chat with Tony.

Du Mu and Natasha went to the first-floor hall.

Under Natasha's speechless gaze, Du Mu naturally opened a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet and then tilted his head to stare at the ceiling with relish.

"What are you looking at?"

Natasha found Du Mu staring at the ceiling and was a little confused.

"Watching the subtitles."

Du Mu took a sip of wine, with an expression of discovering a new world: "I didn't expect Tony's father to be one of the founders of our S.H.I.E.L.D. By the way, did you know about this?"

Natasha: "..."

Now I know.
