Any New Technology?

Doctor Otto had previously relied on chips to coordinate his mechanical arms.

Over time, this caused the chips to undergo a slight change, giving rise to a weak AI.

This was the mechanical arms' autonomous consciousness.

If mishandled, it might control Doctor Otto.

That made Li Wei understand why Doctor Otto was sometimes lucid and sometimes unstable, eventually becoming Doctor Octopus.

But there was no need to worry now. It had already been destroyed by Red Queen.

He would not become Doctor Octopus.

Now, he could directly issue commands through the Brain-Computer Interface, and it would not put too much strain on his brain.

That was the purpose of the Brain-Computer Interface.

Without a Brain-Computer Interface, the brain would have to bear an enormous burden.

It was like installing a miniature computer in the brain, greatly boosting its "computing power."

Soon, Doctor Otto came to a stop.

He supported his body with his mechanical arms, his feet off the ground as he walked on the arms.

"Whoa!"

Gwen was a little surprised. It looked like so much fun.

"How was it?"

Li Wei walked over.

Doctor Otto was equally excited. "It feels wonderful. They're like my own body. It feels as though I can move them as easily as my own arms and fingers."

The previous chips could not achieve such precise control and could only handle the simplest operations.

But things were different now. Doctor Otto felt that the mechanical arms were part of him.

So he immediately said, "I want surgery to install a semi-invasive Brain-Computer Interface."

"There's no rush."

Li Wei immediately stopped him.

A semi-invasive Brain-Computer Interface required electrodes to be implanted beneath the skull, pressed against the dura mater.

Although it did not penetrate the cerebral cortex, this was still not a surgery an ordinary doctor could perform.

"Someone will try it first."

Weren't those S.H.I.E.L.D. agents ideal test subjects?

After much persuasion, Doctor Otto finally stopped being impulsive.

In any case, for him now, this non-invasive Brain-Computer Interface was enough. It would allow him to conduct experiments more easily.

So Li Wei immediately sent the experimental results to S.H.I.E.L.D.

Coulson was still preparing the contract and related paperwork, but upon seeing it, he immediately sped things up.

This was indeed extremely useful to S.H.I.E.L.D.

With Brain-Computer Interfaces and prosthetics installed, agents could be sent back out on missions without losing much of their capability!

When it came to exploiting people, these organizations were the true masters.

"Li, do you have any new technology?"

Doctor Otto looked at Li Wei, eager to begin the next research project.

Li Wei checked his Reputation Points.

It had passed seven million.

"Don't rush. Let me think."

He reassured Doctor Otto.

It would be enough once Tony Stark returned.

Doctor Otto nodded, waiting for a flash of inspiration from this genius scientist.

"Achoo!"

Tony Stark sneezed.

He rubbed his nose, figuring that he had caught a cold.

That damned bastard had actually woken him up early in the morning, leaving him listless.

He could not even play the game he had planned to play and could only lie back in his chair.

Of course, his eyes were not idle. With his left hand supporting his head, he watched the flight attendants pole-dancing in front of him.

He had specifically selected beautiful private flight attendants with fair skin, all there to serve him alone.

He was currently aboard his private jet, flying across America.

If he said he was returning to New York, then he was returning to New York!

At this moment, the situation of New York's kings never meeting would be broken.

Several flight attendants swayed their arms and legs, their torsos trembling as if electrocuted, much to Tony Stark's enjoyment.

"Achoo!"

"That damned bastard has ruined my mood."

Tony Stark muttered that he would have to mock him viciously once he got off the plane!

Before long, the plane landed at the airport.

Happy, the driver, and Pepper, his assistant, had arrived long ago.

Pepper was also holding his favorite cheeseburger.

"Mmm, I am a little hungry."

Tony Stark put on his sunglasses, took the cheeseburger and bit into it, then handed it back to Pepper.

Pepper had no choice. Knowing that he no longer wanted it, she hurried after him.

"Li Wei hasn't been badmouthing me, has he?"

Tony Stark immediately asked.

"No, Tony. Do you think you should make up with him? There's a saying in his country: harmony brings wealth."

Pepper struggled to translate the phrase.

"Make up? Impossible!"

Tony Stark stopped walking.

"And he was the one who provoked me, not the other way around! Unless he apologizes to me personally on television, I will never forgive him!"

Just then, reporters approached. Tony Stark straightened his tie and took the initiative to walk over.

Pepper watched his back helplessly.

She only saw Tony instantly fly into a rage.

"Li Wei said I left New York because I was afraid of him? That bastard!"

"It should be him who's afraid of me..."

"It's rising, it's rising!"

Sitting in the Maybach, Li Wei watched his Reputation Points rapidly climb and immediately smiled.

He opened the car refrigerator and took out a bottle of champagne.

He was popping champagne already!

Tony Stark truly was a good man. How could someone so good not be in New York?

2B was focused on driving, while Gwen Stacy sat beside her.

Li Wei had Gwen take out two glasses, then poured two glasses of champagne.

"Boss, is there something worth celebrating?"

Gwen Stacy asked curiously.

Li Wei turned on the television, where Tony Stark's interview was being broadcast at just that moment.

"Look, Tony Stark has returned to New York."

Li Wei raised his glass, and Gwen clinked hers against it.

"Is that really something to celebrate?"

Gwen tugged at the corner of her mouth.

Hadn't Li Wei been trading barbs with that playboy all along?

Why was he so happy to see him now?

Gwen could not make sense of it.

"Of course."

After saying that, Li Wei realized something and quickly added, "Of course not. Now that he's back, I can mock him."

Gwen nodded thoughtfully.

"Drink up. We're almost there."

Li Wei put away the champagne. One glass was enough.

The Maybach had arrived in Queens.

Not far ahead was the FEAST Homeless Shelter.

Seeing the familiar place, Gwen was immediately surprised. "Boss, this is what you bought?"

"Yes. Why?"

"No, nothing."

Gwen could hardly say that she had come here just last night.

"I saw on the news that this place was robbed by a gang."

"Doesn't matter. It wasn't worth much anyway."

Li Wei shrugged.

Besides, money was not the important thing. He had come for Martin Li.

As the saying went, when fellow townsmen met, one would stab the other in the back.

Martin Li had shot at him first, so Li Wei naturally had to return the favor.

Soon, 2B smoothly parked the car outside the shelter.

Many reporters who had gotten the news had already arrived and now surrounded them.

2B first checked the surroundings and only unlocked the door after confirming that there was no danger.

"Mr. Li Wei, what do you think of Tony Stark saying that you should be afraid of him?"

"I look at it with my eyes."
