Yu Xian: Got the Reactor That Easily?

The next day, at a S.H.I.E.L.D. branch.

A text notification chimed on Yu Xian's phone.

"Ding—your funds have been credited!"

He picked up his phone and looked at it, the corners of his mouth rising involuntarily.

The first reward was in hand. Nice.

Five billion dollars had entered his offshore account, and the transfer procedures for 5% of Stark Industries' shares had also been completed.

The amount displayed on the screen instantly put Yu Xian in a great mood.

[Detected that the host is delighted after receiving a large payment. Pleasure Points +5000]

"Captain, it really worked?"

Carter stared at the number on Yu Xian's phone in disbelief.

The blonde girl's blue eyes were filled with astonishment.

God, all he had done was resell some piece of junk Tony didn't want!

Was it really this easy to make money off rich people in this world???

Before setting out yesterday, Yu Xian had told Catalina everything about his plan to resell the armor.

He had also told her that Obadiah Stane was the mastermind behind the illegal arms deals and the culprit behind Tony's kidnapping.

"Of course it's real. Did you think I was joking with you?"

Yu Xian smugly waved his phone around.

"Carter, now we're truly rich."

"I'll set aside one billion as the team's operating fund, and use all the rest to buy Stark Industries stock."

"The highest level of slacking off is making money while lying down, without having to work."

Catalina frowned, her face full of confusion. "Obadiah doesn't look like a simple man. Would he really trust you so easily?"

Yu Xian chuckled and patted her shoulder. "You're still too innocent!"

"He doesn't trust me. He's just been blinded by profit."

"When someone sees what they have always dreamed of, greed devours their rationality."

"I merely ignited that desire in him. And why do you think he paid up so readily?"

"The armor alone certainly wasn't enough. But what if I added a second deal—the Arc Reactor Tony built?"

Yu Xian gave another meaningful smile, leaving the rest unsaid.

And that wasn't all I wanted. I was going to devour that ambitious bastard whole!!!!

With such a massive advantage, if I didn't take the chance to develop properly, I'd be letting down my identity as a transmigrator!!!

Carter hesitated as if she wanted to say something, but after a moment, she still asked worriedly, "Can Stark Industries' stock really recover?"

"Don't worry. It'll definitely rise again."

Yu Xian stretched and loosened his muscles.

"Tony Stark isn't an ordinary man. He'll soon give the market a huge surprise."

"Come on, change clothes. Let's go see how Iron Man's armor is coming along."

Now that Obadiah had the armor, I needed to get the Arc Reactor into his hands quickly. I was still waiting for the next deal!!!

At the Malibu Beach House, in Tony's lab.

"Countdown. Three, two, one—"

"Ahhhhh!"

With a thunderous boom, Tony, wearing a half-finished Iron Man suit, slammed into the ceiling before crashing heavily to the floor in a shower of sparks.

JARVIS's voice rang out. "Sir, I suggest adjusting the thruster output."

"You think I don't know that?" Tony climbed to his feet awkwardly, removed his faceplate, and revealed a face covered in soot.

Just then, the lab's glass door was pushed open. Led by Pepper, Yu Xian and Catalina walked in.

"Heh, looks like you've completely recovered your spirits, Tony. The storm outside hasn't affected you at all. I'm very pleased," Yu Xian said with a chuckle as he looked at the disheveled Tony.

Pleased that I could begin the second step of my reactor recovery plan!

Tony turned around. Seeing Yu Xian, he replied with a hint of wariness and curiosity, "Yu Xian? What are you doing here, you ice-magic agent? Don't tell me you're changing careers and making magical tech products now?"

Yu Xian shrugged, looking completely relaxed. "Is this how you treat the person who saved your life? Aren't you going to offer me a cup of coffee?"

Tony looked at the man's overly familiar demeanor, raised a brow, and pointed to the coffee machine nearby. "Coffee's there. Pour it yourself."

Heh, even my own little secretary has never received that kind of service from me... and you want to be the first?

Yu Xian could only pour himself a cup. He examined the new armor Tony was building. "This visit is only incidental. Actually, we're rather interested in that little thing on your chest."

Tony subconsciously touched the Arc Reactor on his chest. "This thing?"

"Yes, that's it! Such a tiny thing contains so much energy. I don't think anyone could help being interested, right?" Yu Xian narrowed his eyes, wondering what excuse he could use to get Tony's reactor. It would be perfect if Tony let him take it himself!

Tony looked at Yu Xian's relaxed expression. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "Can you help me with something?"

"Oh? What is it?"

"I need to replace the reactor, but I can't reach the connection cable."

Yu Xian blinked. "So you want me to replace the reactor for you?"

The surprise had come too suddenly. Yu Xian hadn't expected it at all. Wasn't Pepper supposed to replace Tony's reactor?

Why did he suddenly want me to do it?

This surprise really came too suddenly!

Had I left such a deep impression on Tony in the Middle East?!

Would he entrust something this important to me?

"No problem, but..."

"You don't need that old reactor anymore, right?"

"Of course. You can have it! Do whatever you want with it!"

"That's really great. I hope you won't blame me later!!!"

Tony gave Yu Xian a strange look. "What are you talking about?"

"Haha, nothing. Then let's get started quickly!" Yu Xian smiled faintly and had Tony lie down so he could replace the reactor.

"Hey! Be careful with that wire—"

"Don't touch—"

"Ah—"

Tony's body began convulsing uncontrollably after he was electrocuted.

In the end, after Yu Xian's "difficult" replacement process, the new reactor was successfully installed.

The blue light on Tony's chest began flashing continuously.

"Thanks."

Tony extended a hand. "Yu Xian, want to grab a drink together? My treat."

"Hehe, now that you mention it, I'm suddenly wide awake."

Yu Xian quietly put away the old Arc Reactor, then grinned at Tony. "I know a nightclub with beauties everywhere."

Carter rolled her eyes. "You bastard... here you go again."

That night, at the most luxurious nightclub in Los Angeles.

Tony and Yu Xian each had a beautiful woman in their arms as they kept raising their glasses and drinking.

In the distance, men and women danced wildly, indulging themselves to the fullest.

The beauty beside Yu Xian wore a pair of thin white pants that tightly wrapped her rounded curves, to the point where the pattern of what lay beneath was almost visible.

The fair, delicate-skinned beauty wore a tiny white T-shirt that exposed her pale navel. Her low-rise pants irresistibly drew the eye downward, while her long hair, dyed rose-red and styled in large waves, gave off the aura of a woman in full bloom.

While Yu Xian and Tony were lost in their tender paradise, Catalina sat alone and quietly at another table, as though everything outside had nothing to do with her.

Carter watched Yu Xian playing games with Tony and the others, secretly gritting her teeth. "That bastard, has he forgotten the director's orders?"

It turned out that on the first day after Tony returned home,

Yu Xian had received an order from Nick Fury. "Yu Xian, this time, you must keep a close watch on Tony and protect his personal safety! This man is extremely important to my plan!"

Heh, wasn't it just the Avengers Initiative?

Protection?

I was an expert at that!

Wasn't it just freeloading food and drinks!

And since I had already gotten the armor from the Middle East this time,

I might as well go all the way and take the Arc Reactor Thor built too!

Who said you couldn't shear the same sheep twice?

That only proved the sheep wasn't fat enough yet!!!

Obadiah Stane, this time, if I can't scam you so badly that even your grandmother won't recognize you,

how could I possibly live up to all these talents I brought with me after transmigrating here?

Sigh, being too outstanding was truly troublesome!
