New York, Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.

As Manhattan's main north-south artery, it was lined with high-end department stores and luxury boutiques, offering luxury goods from all over the world.

Li Wei wore sunglasses, originally intending to keep a low profile.

But there was no helping it—2B and Eve beside him were simply too eye-catching.

Eve in particular had an incredible figure. Her posture leaned slightly forward, yet her curves were exceptionally beautiful and extremely sexy.

She immediately drew the attention of quite a few people, while Li Wei, caught between the two women, became the target of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

"Good thing I wore sunglasses."

Li Wei inwardly rejoiced, then led them into a luxury boutique.

Eve and 2B did not care much for things like handbags, but Eve was interested in all kinds of jewelry and clothes.

She tried on anything she thought made for a beautiful outfit.

She was especially fond of tight-fitting clothes such as leather pants and jeans, which showed off her figure even better.

Li Wei generously paid with his card.

After all, she was wearing them for him to see.

By comparison, 2B seemed rather awkward.

When she entered the mall and saw so many brands and clothes, she was instantly overwhelmed.

Eve had never actually seen a scene like this either. All she had ever seen was an Earth covered in wasteland.

But she adapted quickly.

2B, on the other hand, was somewhat unaccustomed to it. She was a combat android, for crying out loud!

So Li Wei directly had Eve help 2B choose.

Eve was delighted.

Before long, she picked out two evening gowns and pulled 2B into the fitting room with her.

When they emerged, the two women looked exceptionally elegant in their dresses, each with an outstanding air about her.

Eve possessed a gentle temperament, while 2B was icy and aloof, her eyes fixed steadily on Li Wei.

Li Wei felt like he could not take it all in. No wonder women loved wearing dresses.

They really did make someone look exceptionally elegant.

"Master, how do I look?"

Eve spun around in front of Li Wei and asked in a cheerful tone.

On another Earth, there was no such ease—only Naytiba everywhere.

Even Eve could feel the happiness of this place.

"Beautiful."

Li Wei answered honestly.

Having received praise, Eve became even more enthusiastic and dragged 2B off to continue choosing clothes.

Eve also took a liking to things like qipao dresses.

She even bought several pieces to alter herself after returning home.

Things like ripped jeans...

By the time they came out at noon, they were laden with shopping bags, each carrying who knew how many clothes.

Fortunately, Eve and 2B were strong. Li Wei was actually the most relaxed one.

Many women who saw this scene were incredibly envious of Eve and 2B.

They also recognized Li Wei.

"Are you Li Wei? Do you still need a female companion?"

"You already have two. You do not mind a third, do you?"

These bold women came over and said so themselves, but Li Wei bluntly turned them down.

He was not Tony Stark, indiscriminate in his tastes.

Li Wei was very "picky."

So the three of them hurried into the car and went to enjoy lunch first.

Before long, news of Li Wei taking girls shopping appeared on social media.

Many people believed that Li Wei simply did not take Tony Stark seriously and could KO him whenever he wanted.

Now, every move Li Wei made drew attention.

But Li Wei himself did not care. He enjoyed the feeling of "having celebrities with him."

No wonder everyone wanted to be a celebrity. The feeling that all of America was discussing you was great.

Especially when his reputation points were about to increase by another ten million.

He spent the entire day shopping with Eve and 2B before finally returning home.

Starting tomorrow, he would have to train hard and make sure he could beat the hell out of Tony Stark!

"Tony, are you serious?"

At Stark Tower, Pepper, who had been busy all day, asked Tony Stark.

Tony Stark was drenched in sweat as he uploaded several more pictures to social media to keep the buzz going.

"When have I ever not been serious?"

He casually liked online comments as he asked in return.

The fans whose comments he liked were thrilled. They had not expected a billionaire like him to personally like their posts.

Pepper was utterly confused. "But you're about to head to the Middle East. How are you going to fight him?"

Tony Stark smiled. "Exactly. When the time comes, I'll head straight to the Middle East and won't have time to fight him. Then the whole thing will be over."

"..."

Pepper understood. She immediately rolled her eyes at him and snorted. "I really hope he beats you to death."

"Come on. Youth beats age in a fight. He's so much younger than me—only an idiot would fight him."

Tony Stark took a sip of his drink.

By then, the publicity stunt would have achieved its purpose, and he would have an excuse to leave without having to get beaten up by Li Wei.

It was killing multiple birds with one stone!

And it was not like he was chickening out!

He had company business to discuss in the Middle East. There was nothing he could do about that!

Still, before then, he had to keep a low profile. For that reason, he had not invited any cover girls, only ordinary women.

Hanging out with ordinary women naturally did not generate any buzz, which was why Tony had preferred dating cover girls before.

It was not just because they were beautiful and had great figures. The public also loved seeing who he had hooked up with next.

Li Wei had no idea what the "cunning scoundrel" Tony Stark was thinking.

Over the next few days, he practically lived in the training gym.

Tony Stark was putting on such a serious act that Li Wei was genuinely afraid of embarrassing himself by losing to him.

Bang!

In the ring, Eve easily took Li Wei down, wrapped her legs around him, and lowered her head as she said, "Master, your center of gravity is unstable, and you should not rely on brute force."

Li Wei patted Eve's thigh, signaling for her to get up.

They were currently practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which centered on ground grappling and controlling position.

As a result, Li Wei was either being sat on by Eve or locked up by her.

Thankfully, the one sitting on him was Eve rather than 2B.

Eve was not particularly heavy, at least within an acceptable range.

If it were 2B, with her three-hundred-pound body pressing down on him, Li Wei felt that at least a few of his bones would break.

Still, after several days of intensive training, Li Wei's skills had improved noticeably.

At the very least, he would not go up there throwing wild punches anymore.

After Li Wei rested for a moment, 2B and Eve hurried over to massage his shoulders and pound his back.

Over the past few days, although Li Wei and Tony Stark had not spoken directly, they had shown remarkable coordination, frequently tagging each other online.

Today they announced they would fight using Taekwondo, tomorrow they said they would use Karate, and so on...

They had driven the hype to the max, and the public's anticipation was sky-high.

Li Wei did not even dare imagine whether the internet would turn on them if the fight failed to happen.

But never mind that. At least the reputation points were here now.

[Current Reputation Points: 40,872,000]

In just a few short days, his reputation points had reached forty million.

If this level of hype could last for a year, Li Wei felt that even exchanging for the Superman Serum would not be a problem.

But that was even less realistic than daydreaming.

He should start with a ten-pull first.

Just as Li Wei was about to make his move, the Red Queen appeared. "Master, Coulson has brought the test subjects."
