Dr. Yinsen could not figure it out. No matter how he thought about it, he just could not figure it out.
"You were completely unharmed?! How?!" Unable to hold it in any longer, Yinsen voiced his disbelief.
After saying that, he seemed to realize it was not quite appropriate and hurriedly corrected himself. "It's not that I wanted you to get hurt, but I'm really curious—how did you dodge all those bullets?!"
"I didn't dodge..." Luo Bai answered with complete sincerity.
"I didn't dodge either... so why was I the only one who got hurt?!" Yinsen could not help complaining, his face full of frustration.
In such a cramped space, amid such a chaotic firefight, Luo Bai had killed every enemy and somehow remained completely unscathed?!
How had he done that?!
Yinsen was not the only one puzzled. Even Luo Bai himself found it hard to understand.
Things had been so chaotic just now. Logically, he should not have come out completely unharmed.
Thinking of that, he could not help asking, "Dr. Yinsen, don't you think I'm pretty lucky?!"
"Your luck really is quite good," Yinsen said with a sigh.
After all, killing enemies could be attributed to good marksmanship, but coming through a situation like that without a scratch could only be called luck.
But Luo Bai did not have long to celebrate, because the "battle" was not over yet. More terrorists were waiting for them.
When the terrorists heard no more sounds from those who had gone inside, they got smarter.
They stopped sending people into the cave and instead shouted from outside, "Stark! If you don't come out now, we'll throw in a bomb!"
The cave was so small that Luo Bai did not dare imagine what would happen if a bomb really got thrown inside.
Fortunately, the Iron Man armor had finished powering up by then.
When Yinsen saw Tony Stark walk out of the room wearing the massive Iron Man armor, he cheered through tears of joy. "It's finally done! We can leave this place!"
He was so excited that he broke into a violent coughing fit after speaking.
Noticing something was wrong with him, Tony Stark asked, "You're hurt?!"
Yinsen shook his head and hurriedly said, "Just a minor injury. It's nothing."
"Thank you for buying me time," Tony Stark said gratefully.
Yinsen shook his head again and quickly said, "It wasn't me, it was him! Luo Bai bought you time! He took down all these terrorists!"
Luo Bai?!
Tony Stark froze.
He looked at the terrorists lying on the ground, then at Luo Bai, the "fragile college student," his face filled with astonishment.
"He took out all these terrorists by himself?!" Tony Stark asked.
"Yes! He's amazing. His shooting is incredibly accurate—he never misses!" Yinsen praised him without reservation.
Tony Stark was completely stunned.
Never misses?
Was he really that good?
Though he was deeply curious, he had no time to ask more questions now.
"All right, Luo Bai, thank you. But we need to get out of here first," Tony Stark said.
With the Iron Man armor, it became much easier for the three of them to escape.
Stark, wearing the Iron Man armor, engaged the terrorists in a fierce battle.
He nearly blew their entire base to pieces. The remaining terrorists saw that things had gone wrong and fled if they could.
The three of them hurriedly took the opportunity to leave.
However, they had not gone far before Stark's armor broke down. It was probably because the hastily built suit could not withstand such an intense battle.
Fortunately, the plane searching for Stark appeared just in time.
Only after getting aboard the plane did Luo Bai finally let out the breath he had been holding.
It seemed heaven still favored him and had not let him die right at the start.
But how was he supposed to live in the Marvel Universe from now on? He did not even seem to have legal registration.
What a headache.
The U.S., New York.
No one knew how long they had flown, but the plane finally landed at a military base.
The moment he got off the plane, Tony Stark came over.
"Your name is Luo Bai, right? Where do you live? I'll have someone take you home," Tony Stark asked.
The three of them had just survived a near-death ordeal, and Stark was no longer as suspicious of Luo Bai.
To show his gratitude, he planned to have someone take Luo Bai home.
To his surprise, Luo Bai answered somewhat dejectedly the next moment, "I don't have a home here."
He was a transmigrator. How could he have a home in another world?
Tony Stark seemed somewhat surprised and continued, "You don't have any family?"
"I used to, but not anymore," Luo Bai said.
Tony Stark had clearly misunderstood something. After a moment of silence, he sighed. "What a poor child."
Before Luo Bai could explain, he immediately called out, "Pepper, take him to my apartment to rest."
A blonde beauty soon walked over.
Luo Bai recognized the blonde woman who had arrived.
Her name was Pepper Potts, nicknamed Pepper, and she was Tony Stark's personal secretary.
After receiving her boss's instructions, Pepper took Luo Bai to a Bentley.
Once they were in the car, Pepper immediately thanked him. "I heard you helped Tony escape. Thank you."
Luo Bai shook his head and politely replied, "No need to thank me. I only helped out a little."
"I imagine you must be tired. I'll take you to the apartment to rest first. Is there anything you'd like to eat? I can have someone prepare it right away," Pepper asked.
"Hot pot," Luo Bai answered after thinking for a moment.
Having narrowly escaped death, all he wanted now was a couple bites of hot pot to calm himself down.
"It's a little troublesome, but I can have the chef prepare it immediately," Pepper said, then made a call to arrange it.
That arrangement took fifteen minutes.
Only when the car stopped did Pepper hurriedly get out and open the door for him.
"Thank you," Luo Bai said as he got out.
The moment he stepped out, he froze.
Wait, had she not said apartment?!
Why had they stopped in front of a villa?!
"Tony said that to thank you for saving him, he's giving you this apartment. I've already had someone clean the rooms, and daily necessities have been moved in. Oh, and here are the keys." As Pepper spoke, she handed him the keys.
Only then did Luo Bai understand what it meant to be obscenely rich!
Tony called a villa an apartment, and he had just casually given it away to Luo Bai?
Though surprised, Luo Bai still accepted the keys with a calm expression and said, "Then please thank Tony for me."
"It's the least we could do. I'll be leaving now, Mr. Luo Bai. If you need anything, you can call the number in the room." Pepper smiled as she said goodbye.
"Goodbye, Pepper." Luo Bai waved farewell.
Once Pepper had left, he eagerly entered the villa.
Luo Bai's family had not been poor before he transmigrated, but they had not been wealthy enough to live in a villa either.
Especially not a villa this large—it looked big enough to be a hotel!
And the location was excellent too. It was only two or three streets from downtown New York, in an area where every inch of land was worth a fortune!
No wonder Tony Stark was a top-tier billionaire.
Still marveling, Luo Bai toured the entire villa. Exhausted from all the walking, he found a room at random and lay down.
Only then could he finally calm down and carefully think over everything that had happened before.
Not only had he escaped the terrorists' base, but he had not suffered a single injury.
He had originally worried that, unfamiliar with this world, he would have nowhere to stay. Yet Tony had given him a villa.
If that did not mean he had some luck on his side, he would not believe it.
"With luck this good, it'd be a shame not to buy a lottery ticket," Luo Bai muttered.
The moment he finished speaking, Luo Bai sensed that something was wrong.
He discovered that the scene before his eyes had suddenly begun to shatter, and the glass-like fractures kept spreading.
They spread until they covered everything, completely enveloping Luo Bai in a kaleidoscopic world.
"What the hell?!" Luo Bai muttered, shooting upright from the bed.
The moment he sat up, he saw a person in a yellow monk's robe and hood standing before him.
That outfit looked strangely familiar.
As Luo Bai pondered it, the visitor removed her hood the next moment.
A gleaming bald head appeared before Luo Bai's eyes.
Ah... a bald head... Gu Yi!!
