Iron Man's Showcase?

"Haha!"

At Li Wei's sarcastic remark, the entire hall burst into laughter.

Tony Stark's expression darkened as well, but following Li Wei's words, he immediately strode up with confidence.

"You're right. Since you invited me up, here I am!"

He looked exceptionally confident, to the point of arrogance.

At this point in time, Tony Stark was extremely conceited. He believed his intelligence could solve anything, showed no respect for authority figures, and was a complete playboy.

That was why Li Wei considered him a jerk.

He had wanted to have a proper conversation with Tony Stark, but that was simply impossible.

This guy's emotional intelligence was practically nonexistent!

When dealing with someone like that, the only option was to have even less emotional intelligence than he did.

"Where's the spotlight? What's going on?"

Like now—Tony Stark was displeased that no one had given him the "main character aura," and immediately complained.

Only after the lights came on did he swagger all the way onto the stage.

Li Wei then waved at Dr. Otto, who had been prepared to come onstage, signaling that he no longer needed to.

Li Wei's face was full of smiles. He could feel the traffic about to explode, along with his Reputation Points.

Where there was Tony Stark, there was traffic!

So he was exceptionally welcoming, forming a sharp contrast with Tony Stark's arrogance. Anyone would think he was much more down-to-earth.

It couldn't be helped. People only stood out through comparison.

"Can you see more clearly from here?"

Li Wei asked.

Sure enough, Tony Stark had no emotional intelligence. Even now, he refused to give Li Wei any face.

"That's right. Now I can expose your fraud."

Li Wei did not mind. All he wanted was Tony Stark's traffic.

He handed the tablet in his hand to Tony and said, "Since you think it's fake, why don't you announce it yourself? You can also check whether the research procedures are complete. That should let you tell whether it's real or not, right?"

At Li Wei's words, the reporters below immediately erupted into commotion.

The online livestream was still ongoing, though the internet speed at this time... those who knew, knew.

America was a nation with an extremely underdeveloped internet.

Why did no one use their phones on the subway?

The answer was obvious: there was no signal, not because people had good manners.

So Li Wei had not expected much online buzz.

But he had still underestimated the influence of the two of them.

The online buzz was exploding as well.

"Mr. Li Wei, aren't you afraid Mr. Stark will steal your technology?"

A reporter immediately asked with blunt "honesty."

Tony Stark instantly got angry. "Are you saying I'd steal the technology of someone who never even went to college?"

"I graduated from MIT! What about him?"

Hearing Tony's words, Li Wei immediately smiled. "I graduated from Carrington."

The crowd immediately burst into laughter, making Tony furious.

He snatched Li Wei's tablet away and read aloud, "The product being unveiled at this press conference is..."

When he saw it, Tony Stark's face filled with disdain. "A Brain-Computer Interface?"

"This thing is indeed possible, but it can't be done yet, and it carries huge risks!"

He had wanted to continue mocking it, but his scientific instincts drew him in, and he immediately continued reading.

His expression changed at once.

The reporters keenly noticed this and immediately started frantically pressing their shutters.

"Mr. Stark, what's wrong?"

"This..."

Cold sweat instantly broke out on Tony Stark's forehead. With only a quick glance, he had realized that this actually seemed capable of succeeding...

No, not capable. It was highly likely.

The data was incredibly complete. It could even be called a finished product!

"Where did you get this data?"

Tony Stark stared at Li Wei in disbelief.

If all the data was this close to a finished product, couldn't they just manufacture it directly? Why the hell would they need research?

Li Wei immediately smiled. "You heard correctly. It is a Brain-Computer Interface."

"With a Brain-Computer Interface, every person fitted with prosthetics will become just like a normal person—perhaps even stronger!"

Li Wei was highly experienced with press conferences and had studied plenty of techniques.

All kinds of figures rolled off his tongue.

"To research the Brain-Computer Interface, our laboratory conducted over one billion simulations, created roughly ten billion models, and controlled the experimental error to within 0.01 percent..."

The reason he gave so many figures was to make it sound impressive and sincere.

As for whether there really had been that many?

Tony Stark's expression said it all.

He stood beside him with a look that plainly said, "Who the hell are you trying to fool?"

But it could not be helped. The reporters ate it up, and cries of "Wow!" immediately filled the venue.

"The Brain-Computer Interface is undoubtedly a major advancement for human civilization. It can improve the human body's capabilities, and it will be especially seamless for all kinds of network-connected operations in the future."

"..."

Li Wei continued speaking. At the same time, images of the Brain-Computer Interface were enlarged on the screen, along with complete experimental diagrams.

For example, under the control of a Brain-Computer Interface, humans could freely control cars, airplanes, and more.

In reality, all of it was AI footage created by Red Queen.

Before long, news of the Brain-Computer Interface began spreading across the internet.

After Li Wei finished speaking, Tony Stark said, "It's just a PowerPoint. Just like I said, all you can do is make PowerPoints. Do you have an actual product?"

Seeing Tony Stark's unconvinced expression, Li Wei smiled. "Of course. I've been saying all along that Future Technology has been researching artificial intelligence."

"Perfect. I've also researched artificial intelligence."

Tony Stark immediately stole the spotlight. "JARVIS."

"Yes, sir."

JARVIS's voice immediately rang out, and the reporters erupted in cries of amazement.

The voice was magnetic, and it had clearly taken control of the entire venue, operating the lights according to Tony Stark's wishes. For a moment, the place seemed to have turned into a karaoke bar.

Yet Li Wei still wore a smile.

He seemed particularly pleased to see this happen.

"Is this your artificial intelligence, Mr. Stark?"

Li Wei handed over the microphone.

"Of course."

Tony Stark said smugly, "This is the artificial intelligence butler I developed, JARVIS. It is highly intelligent, capable of autonomous learning and independent thought, and it also possesses powerful computing and analytical functions."

At that moment, the press conference seemed to have become Tony Stark's personal showcase.

Although Tony had not originally intended to reveal JARVIS, it no longer mattered now.

JARVIS cooperated with him as well, making a few humorous remarks.

As soon as Tony Stark finished speaking, applause immediately rang out beside him from Li Wei.

To Tony, it sounded exceptionally harsh. He spread his arms and said, "Where is your artificial intelligence?"

"She has already defeated JARVIS."

Li Wei smiled. "Red Queen."

"Master, I'm here."

With a flash of red light, Red Queen, glowing crimson, immediately appeared on the stage.

"Wow!"

This greatly surprised the reporters below.

Because they could clearly tell that she was not a real person.
