Still Prefer Androids

"Holy shit!"

"That damn Oriental actually said I was jealous because he was more handsome than me!"

At his seaside villa, Tony Stark, who had been about to have dinner with a cover girl, was instantly stunned.

He was deeply shocked by Li Wei's shamelessness.

Someone actually dared compare looks with him?

As for Li Wei's joking claim that Tony had sent someone to steal his data, Tony did not care nearly as much.

He did not think much of Li Wei's technology anyway. He still had that much confidence.

Tony Stark took a sip of wine. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, so he asked, "JARVIS, between me and that Oriental kid, who's more handsome?"

Li Wei's provocation had caused Tony Stark's technological prowess to advance by leaps and bounds.

Only through relentless competition could humanity progress.

Even JARVIS had progressed faster because of it.

At first, Tony Stark had looked down on Li Wei, thinking he was nothing more than a clown riding the hype.

But as Li Wei unveiled all sorts of high-tech products, Tony still looked down on him verbally.

Yet Tony had long since developed a different opinion of him in his heart.

Still, bastards like them could never make up. They would continue trading insults.

JARVIS was slightly speechless at the moment. "Sir, your question is like the Evil Queen asking the magic mirror in Snow White."

"..."

The comparison left Tony speechless. He immediately said, "Are you saying I'm the Evil Queen?"

"Sir, I did not say that."

JARVIS replied.

"The magic mirror has to choose from the whole world, but we're only comparing two people right now. That's called a comparison, JARVIS."

Tony Stark asked stubbornly, "According to the tastes of women around the world, who is more handsome?"

JARVIS had no choice but to analyze it.

Following its absolutely objective and impartial programming, it said, "Sir, first of all, you should understand that in the eyes of most women, anyone with money is handsome. Therefore, you and Li Wei are equally handsome."

"But in terms of aesthetics, Li Wei is younger than you, more masculine, more handsome, and taller..."

"Enough!"

Tony Stark could not listen any longer.

Artificial intelligence was no fun at all!

"Failed! There was a mysterious woman beside the target. I was no match for her."

In a safe house in Brooklyn, Yelena wore a tank top as she applied some medicine to herself.

"Yelena Belova, you are supposed to be the best."

A voice said displeasedly, "I do not want to hear your excuses. All I know is that you failed."

Yelena had nothing to say and could only remain silent.

She rarely failed, but that mysterious woman really was powerful.

The other woman wore a mask, yet she seemed able to observe everything. Even thinking about it now made Yelena feel lingering fear.

"You do not need to stay in New York anymore. Return to the base immediately. I have a more important mission for you."

"More important?"

Yelena found it rather strange.

To the Red Room, once one person had defected, none of the others could be trusted.

Especially when the one who had betrayed them was the current Black Widow.

At night, on Long Island in New York.

After making money, Li Wei had bought a luxurious villa here. It was one of the most expensive areas in all of New York, but it was also the safest.

Tony Stark owned property here as well.

However, after Li Wei moved in, Tony Stark stopped coming here as often.

Li Wei told the media that this was because "kings do not meet kings."

Everyone had remained vigilant throughout the afternoon, but nothing happened.

Li Wei even rewarded the security personnel who had gone out and arranged for others to patrol at night.

With money on the line, the security guards were highly motivated.

As for Li Wei, of course he returned to rest in comfort.

"Master, the bathwater is ready."

2B wore high-heeled boots, and the rhythm of her steps against the floor had a peculiar cadence.

Li Wei went to bathe, while 2B followed behind him like a little maid, carrying towels and other items.

Once Li Wei lay down in the tub, she began scrubbing him with practiced skill.

Her technique was about the same as what he had experienced at bathhouses before!

"2B, are you really a combat android?"

Li Wei asked in surprise.

"Master, although YoRHa was created for war, it was also created to serve humanity."

2B spoke with great calm. If she had human emotions, she definitely would not have been able to say that so calmly.

"All right, androids really are better."

Li Wei looked at 2B, who seemed to glisten with oil, and suddenly placed his hand on her.

2B merely looked at him in confusion before continuing to scrub him.

"2B, your skin is really nice."

Li Wei sighed.

The smoothest, most supple skin actually belonged to Black people...

And the worst skin condition, with the largest pores, belonged to white women.

After all, fair skin covered a hundred flaws.

But no matter which it was, none had skin as smooth and flawless as 2B's, making it impossible to put down.

2B explained, "YoRHa uses the latest bionic technology. We are almost as real as humans."

Other than needing replacement parts when damaged, 2B was practically no different from a human.

As expected, androids were still the best!

Li Wei sighed again. Under 2B's skilled hands, he became so comfortable that he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When he awoke feeling refreshed, he found himself already in bed.

The three-hundred-pound 2B had carried him here with ease.

He was alone in the room, which spanned dozens of square meters. Clearly, 2B had not fulfilled her duty of warming the bed.

Though with the air conditioning running throughout the room, she probably could not have warmed it anyway.

Unable to sleep, Li Wei checked his Reputation Points.

[Current Reputation Points: 1,073,000.]

"That much in one day?"

Li Wei said in surprise.

He took out his phone and checked. Sure enough, the news of him being attacked had become a global hot topic.

After all, people around the world loved seeing wealthy people encounter danger...

Especially since he and Tony Stark had been constantly trading barbs, which had made him famous.

"I almost want to get attacked every day."

He shook his head, though he was only joking.

Although the Maybach was bulletproof, it was not absolutely safe.

That gang had even possessed RPGs today. They simply had not dared to use them.

Li Wei had to find those people.

Since when did a mere little gang dare cause trouble for capitalists?

Although Future Technology Company could not compare to a giant like Stark Industries, it was not small either.

Moreover, Li Wei was nearly as famous as Tony Stark. Many people knew of his reputation as a genius scientist.

"In that case, let's do a ten-pull!"

Li Wei could not hold back anymore.

No one could resist a ten-pull.

If someone could resist even that, what else could they not do?

As Li Wei opened the system, one million Reputation Points vanished instantly, leaving him with only a pitiful few tens of thousands.

Ten glittering golden cards appeared before Li Wei. He only needed to flip them over to find out what rewards they held.

At that moment, Li Wei's gambler's instinct erupted.

"Wife Eve, wife Quicksilver, wife Android 18..."

Although there was plenty of high technology, Li Wei had gotten a taste of the benefits from 2B. He still preferred androids!
