Tony·Stark was asked in a later interview:
"Among your many excellent mechas, which one dissatisfies you the most?"
Tony squinted his eyes and fell into memories:
"The most dissatisfying thing... not really.
After all, they are all works that I am proud of...
However, there was one set of armor that really made me want to destroy it with my own hands..."
That is Mark 42, Prodigal Son--also known as "Anti-Tony Armor"
Prodigal Son is an engineering prototype.
With the iteration of Mark Armor, the ways of arming and transforming have become diverse with the genius-like ideas of Tony·Stark.
This engineering prototype was specially developed by Tony in order to experiment with a new wearing method - human implantation.
Stark Tower's free fall from the roof of the building and almost death caused Tony's no longer young heart to bear too much pressure.
He almost peed in fear.
Since then, the unprotected fall from high altitude has become the shadow of Tony's midnight dreams.
In order to eliminate this hidden danger, he implanted a micro sensor chip into his body.
In this way, he can remotely control the mecha to assemble it.
Since this technology is currently unstable, various situations will occur every time you wear Prodigal Son.
For example, the mecha module flying towards Tony cannot adjust its posture properly, so that it cannot fully fit.
It can't even control the speed of flying towards Tony.
As a result, Tony's lifeblood was hit hard. For several days, he could still feel bursts of pulling pain from his lower body...
After Battle of New York, Tony saw real alien technology.
This made him feel an unprecedented sense of urgency, and he began to make all kinds of Iron Armor crazily.
At the same time, Stark Industries's business projects have also successfully transformed from arms to clean energy, and they no longer eat bloody steamed buns.
Although he has made considerable progress at work, Tony suffered from severe anxiety due to focusing on research and development and being in self-isolation for a long time.
When not wearing armor, he would feel an inexplicable fear.
Even facing young fans who come to ask for autographs will cause Tony to feel uncomfortable.
Rather than saying it is an anxiety disorder, it is better to say that it is a kind of post-traumatic stress disorder, whose English abbreviation is PTSD.
This is a psychological disorder caused by experiencing or witnessing extreme traumatic events, which is mainly characterized by intrusive symptoms, avoidance behavior, negative changes in cognition and mood, and hypervigilance.
Tony currently meets at least three of the core symptoms.
Only when he puts on the armor will he return to normal.
Even when sleeping, he needs mecha to guard him.
Once Tony summoned a mecha in a nightmare, and almost hurt Ms. Pepper who was lying next to her.
Pepper·Potts attaches great importance to the abnormal behavior of their lover. Considering Tony's pride, Pepper can only find a solution privately.
After multiple inquiries, Pepper called Su Ming.
Mainly because the highly respected Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Nick·Nick Fury once said to him:
"As long as you give money, Destiny can solve any of your problems..."
Ms. Pepper was dubious at first, but Nick Nick Fury's tone didn't sound like a joke.
Considering Tony's character, finding someone else might be less effective, so I finally decided to place my bet on Su Ming.
In fact, there is another reason, that is, Tony is usually not popular.
Although everyone expressed condolences and concern for Tony when talking to Ms. Pepper, no one planned to really help.
"You know the character of Mr. Destiny, Tony. Anyway, please help me!"
When Su Ming heard Ms. Pepper's starting quotation of 8 billion, he re-examined Stark Industries in his heart.
The previous commissions Tony gave him were worth hundreds of millions, and they looked like they were in pain.
Unexpectedly, in order to treat Tony's small psychological shadow, Pepper opened his mouth to nearly 10 billion without blinking an eye.
Although Su Ming recognized Ms. Pepper's determination to treat Tony, the difference before and after made Su Ming feel a little unbalanced.
"The richer you are when you co-author, the more you dig into it..."
Thinking of this, Su Ming's smile faded a bit:
"10 billion. This is for the sake of old friends."
Ms. Pepper on the other end of the phone was breathing heavily.
She didn't expect that Mr. Destiny, who was usually harmless to humans and animals, would change his demeanor when money was mentioned, and she was a little angry.
At this moment, she instantly understood the hint of gloating in Nick Nick Fury's mouth.
"9 billion is obviously a sky-high price, but you're still not satisfied?"
Stark Industries is already equipped with a world-class medical team, but Tony·Stark is a stubborn person who refuses to admit that he has a mental illness and refuses treatment.
His abnormality has obviously affected his daily life.
A minor problem that can be easily cured as long as the patient cooperates has turned into a difficult problem that cannot be solved even with money.
Pepper was also very helpless: That's all, for Tony...
A bite of silver teeth:
"Okay! Just 10 billion, but you have to make sure Tony gets rid of that pain..."
Ms. Pepper seemed to be busy meeting someone. She was silent on the phone for only a few seconds before making a decision.
She has been the CEO of Stark for some time. Although she is gentle and considerate on weekdays, she is decisive and decisive in the mall and never drags her feet.
"Yo ho?"
Hearing the distrust in Ms. Pepper's words, Su Ming was happy.
My rule has always been to never refund the money. Since when did I provide after-sales service?
If you don't believe me, don't come, and stop talking useless words.
After going through so much, Su Ming is no longer the rookie who was tricked by others with just a few words:
"No guarantee! Moreover, no refund will be given if you transfer money first."
"What the f**k...?"
Pepper was so angry that Su Ming looked so confident that his face turned red:
You're just a Party B, who gave you such arrogant capital? Why don't you include after-sales service?
But considering that this is the only way to help Tony at present, Ms. Pepper said:
I have endured this wave, just wait for me!
At the same time, my impression of Su Ming was extremely bad:
I hope you can be as awesome as Nick Nick Fury said...
Drip, drip, drip...
"Oh? Is this... talks broken down?"
Listening to the busy signal on the phone, Su Ming didn't understand whether the deal was concluded or not.
As soon as I returned to the dining table and sat down, I heard the system prompt sound in my head:
[+10 billion. Account balance: US$1,268.6 billion]
"Taking another order."
Su Ming was in a good mood. Looking at Ned across from him looking at Alisha with trepidation, he couldn't help but smile.
The current Su Ming is actually not inferior to her 1 billion 800 million. He is just venting his anger for his past self.
Thinking back to the time when Tony bought a life from him for a mere 50 million, Su Ming really wanted to complain about who he was back then - what a country bumpkin he was.
At the same time, some people can't wait to visit System Shop again.
With more than 1200 billion, Su Ming's account balance has reached the highest figure in history, which also makes Su Ming full of expectations for his next improvement.
After breakfast, Alisha went back to the room to take a nap.
Su Ming followed Ned's description and opened a portal that led directly to Ned's room.
"Oh my god, sir! This trick of yours is so convenient... couldn't it be possible to go anywhere?"
Originally it was just Ned's emotion when he touched the scene, but it reminded Su Ming:
"That's right! After the portal is upgraded, of course I can go anywhere. All I need is some simple information..."
Hydra's laboratory, Wakanda and even Professor X's university... we can leave at any time, right?
Ned's unintentional words opened up Su Ming's thinking.
The little fat man who crossed the portal even waved goodbye to him and forgot to respond.
"There are so many things that can be done! You have to plan carefully..."
Muttering in his mouth, Su Ming returned to his room.
"System Shop, I'm coming..."
