In the afternoon, Tony looked at the house number in front of him and compared it with the address mentioned by Lu Qi twice.
Finding that they were in the right place, Tony nodded to Saturday and Sunday who were carrying large and small bags behind them. He was about to knock on the door, but suddenly thought of something, took out his mobile phone and called Pepper.
"Hey, Tony? What's wrong?" Pepper on the other end was busy dealing with the backlog of things Stark Group had accumulated in the past few days. He waved to the hesitant secretary beside him, and Pepper said quickly with his cell phone.
Tony nodded, "It sounds like you are very busy?"
"Of course, Stark Group, how many things do you know, what's wrong?"
"I'm going to a mysterious place next. I may not go home for the next few days, and I won't be able to see you for the time being."
Pepper was stunned for a moment, looked at the secretary on the side and asked her to go out first, and then continued to ask, "Are you going to Asgard or Jotunheim or something like that?"
At present, those official organizations have not yet decided whether to tell the public about the existence of the other eight realms. Although the war that broke out at the Stark Industries base a few days ago informed the ordinary people of the existence of aliens, "myths are true" and "aliens are true" are two completely different concepts. Therefore, they have not announced this matter yet, and they have to keep it secret first.
Tony glanced at the house number in front of him, "It's not that far away, it's right on Earth."
He turned around and looked at Stark Tower not far away. Tony continued, "It's still very close to New York."
"How far is that?" Pepper said with a chuckle.
"Okay, actually I want to try out what it's like to be married to you."
"What do you mean?" Pepper didn't understand what Tony said. After thinking about it, he didn't remember that his father agreed to the marriage. Didn't he say that he wanted to test Tony again?
"Last time, Lu Qi helped me sort out the love experience. One of the things is that a little separation is better than a new marriage." Tony leaned against the door and looked at Stark Tower not far away. He looked at it intently, as if he could see the busy figure of Pepper inside the building.
Hearing Tony's explanation, Pepper covered his mouth and smiled twice, "Can you please stop being so naive? We have only been in a relationship for half a year, and our relationship only took a further step a few days ago."
"Okay." Tony said helplessly. On the other end, Pepper heard Tony's voice that instantly lost his energy. He was about to comfort Tony when he heard Tony's affectionate voice.
"But there is one thing I have to say, and that is that I am only naive to you."
After saying that, Tony stood there quietly, but heard the beep of the phone hanging up. He turned to look at Saturday and Sunday, who were carrying large and small bags. After a while, Saturday received the message.
"Boss, Thursday said that Miss Potts's face was completely red just now, and now he has entered the bathroom."
"The effect is good. It seems that as long as I take care of Pepper's father, I can prepare to propose marriage next time I go back?" Tony said with a smile, and was about to turn around and knock on the door, but found that the door was opened without knowing when, and a pair of eyes were exposed.
"Wow!"
There was a frightened sound, and several people looked at Sunday in surprise.
"Uh, I'm fine." Sunday reacted and stood up straight in an instant.
"How can you, a robot, be scared?" Tony said in disbelief. He then discovered that Sunday was timid. When you were soaring in Chitauri's beam before, you were not scared. Instead, you screamed with excitement.
"They are living beings too, and it is normal to be frightened." The mage inside the door said, but in turn he spoke for Sunday.
Tony looked at him in disbelief, "I thought you would reject them. After all, mages probably hate technology."
The mage looked at Tony as if he were a country bumpkin, "Mechanical life is also a type of life. In our opinion, they are the same as elemental life."
"Well, stereotypes can hurt people." Tony shrugged helplessly.
The mage watched Tony quickly change his attitude and nodded with satisfaction.
"That's good. Ignorance is not terrible. What is terrible is ignorance and arrogance. My name is Mordo. It was Ancient One who asked me to pick you up."
"Ancient One? Is that the lady who asked me for the WiFi password last time?" Tony asked Saturday and Sunday who were holding bags to follow and walked into Sanctum.
As soon as the door was closed, the original noise disappeared, as if the door had blocked off a whole world.
Tony looked back at the door and decided to install this kind of soundproof door in his home next time, and then followed Mordo to walk forward. Looking at the dazzling array of various items on both sides, Tony couldn't help but guess the uses of these items.
Mordo looked back at him and said, "These are all magical artifacts collected and left behind by the previous mages of Kamar-Taj. However, they have their own wisdom and will choose their own owners. If you are interested, you can come here and have a look later, and maybe one of the magical artifacts will choose you."
"Really?" Tony nodded, "Then it looks like I have to call a truck to pull it when I come over."
Mordo smiled and shook his head, leading him to a hall.
Here, there are different doors leading to every corner of the world. Mordo took him to a door and stood there.
Watching Tony looking at these portals curiously, Mordo called the Snap to attract his attention.
"Next, we will go to Kamar-Taj, where you need to forget all your previous knowledge in order to learn the knowledge there."
Seeing Tony become serious, Mordo nodded, opened the door, and walked over with Tony and the others.
On Stark Tower's side, Pepper wiped his face with cold water to eliminate the blush on his face and walked out of the bathroom.
"What else do we have to do next?" Pepper asked the secretary on the side.
"According to the scheduled plan, we will have a meeting in conference room 17 in three minutes."
"Oh, then we have to hurry up. What kind of meeting is it specifically?" Pepper walked out quickly, while Thursday, pretending to be a decoration, quickly followed.
"A biological research-related company called A. I. M. hopes to get some investment from us." The secretary replied quickly.
Pepper nodded and took her into the elevator. Thursday also walked in quickly.
Arriving all the way to the conference room, Pepper looked at the people inside and said in surprise, "Killian?"
Outside the conference room, Happy told the employees along the way to remember to wear their employee ID cards, but judging from the way those employees looked at him, it seemed that he was not very popular.
But at least his measures were implemented in the company. Happy nodded with satisfaction. At this time, he saw Pepper and a neatly dressed man chatting happily in the conference room not far away.
Happy frowned, looking at the man's malicious look, and decided to keep a close eye on him to prevent Pepper from having any accidents.
Sitting down on the chair beside him, Happy was looking at the conference room attentively, when a figure sat down next to him.
"Hello, Mr. Supervisor."
"Oh!" Happy was startled and turned around to look.
"Uh, Thursday, aren't you working as a housekeeper in the villa?"
"JARVIS is doing better than me. Mr. Tony upgraded my equipment specifically to protect Miss Potts."
Happy nodded, young man, you can't win against others and were sent here, but compared to Thursday, who can't win against his peers, he is the worst, and can't win against his own boss.
Sighing, Happy pointed to the conference room and asked Thursday, "Then why don't you go in to protect Miss Potts?"
Thursday shook his head helplessly, "Because Miss Potts doesn't want my work to be disturbed, so I usually try my best to eliminate my presence, but the conference room is still too small. Besides, I am actually just a means of transportation. To really protect Miss Potts, I have to look at those guys who are everywhere."
Those guys, they were normal before, at least they looked like human beings. But a few days ago, I don't know if they evolved again, and they were able to turn into black shadows and run around. They were completely inhuman.
However, they are still very powerful. When they were on a business trip abroad, a convoy surrounded them and wanted to kidnap Potts, but they were quickly and easily solved by those guys. Obviously, the job content changed from protecting the boss to protecting the boss's wife. It didn't take long for them to protect the company, ushering in the third spring of their career.
Happy turned to look at the conference room, only to see the man projecting a... brain?
Just as Happy looked at him in confusion, the man actually stood on the table and wanted to invite Potts to go up and watch it together!
Just when Happy couldn't help it, Potts rejected Killian's request. When she entered the working state, she motioned to Killian to continue explaining and she would evaluate whether there was a need for investment in this project.
This was good, Happy was relieved, but it also made him more and more hostile to Killian.
"We have to find a way to kick him out. That guy doesn't look like a good person!" Happy said to Thursday standing aside.
Thursday nodded and pointed to the unattractive man on the sofa beside him, "This man should be Killian's subordinate, we can start with him!"
Happy nodded and looked at the guy, "This guy looks like a gangster. What company would hire such a person? There must be something fishy about this company. We might as well follow them and see what they are doing."
Thursday heard that he remotely scanned the man and found that all the values of his body were very high, even his body temperature.
He looked at Happy with admiration. He was indeed a man who could steal a few years of life from JARVIS. He was just extraordinary. You could tell something was wrong with this guy with the naked eye.
Thursday nodded and said, "This guy is indeed weird. We can track him together later."
Happy nodded. At this moment, the door of the conference room over there was opened, and Potts and Killian came out.
"Your research is very good, but I'm sorry that your current results cannot bring any substantial benefits to people. Stark Group cannot invest in you just because the prospects are good." Potts looked at the notebook in his hand and said to Killian.
"Of course, if you have some specific results, you can skip the appointment process and contact me directly."
Killian nodded helplessly. Although he already had some research results, he could transform the human body into a biological bomb. But let alone his company has not obtained the certificate to conduct experiments on the human body. Who else could want the effect of turning people into unstable bombs except those freedom fighters?
Seeing Potts seeing off the guests, Killian turned around helplessly. The expression on his face turned a little violent for a moment. He pulled the buttons on his chest directly and Killian walked towards the door.
Upon seeing this, his men immediately followed, and Happy and Thursday also followed quietly.
Lu Qi, who was far away in Asteroid Belt, was not aware of the scene on the earth. Looking at the huge meteorite in front of him, a large amount of energy gathered, a huge magic circle opened, and an enhanced version of Bolts of Balthakk blasted out, blasting the meteorite into pieces.
At the same time, portals opened one after another to collect the fragments. At the other end of the portal was the dimensional crack where Shadow World and Material World intersected. A large number of fragments were poured directly into Shadow World, and were quickly digested to become part of Shadow Dimension.
This is also the fastest way to collect meteorites discovered by Lu Qi. It is much faster than the previous method of collecting meteorites one meteorite at a time, and there is no need to find particularly small meteorites.
Just as he was looking for his next target, Galacta, who was left behind in the spacecraft, connected to the communication.
"The design plan here is ready, shall we go back now?"
Lu Qi looked back at Galacta's spaceship, "How long has it been now?"
"It's been 6 hours. It should be 4 p. m. on earth."
Lu Qi nodded, "Then let's go back first."
After sensing Shadow World, I found that after six hours of busy work, my Shadow Dimension only increased to the upper limit of nearly one million.
Sure enough, using this method now is slow and troublesome, but it is more stable than before. Anyway, the map is already open, so if you have nothing to do, you can come over and dig some meteorites, which is a good way to exercise.
Lu Qi also wanted to rest for a while, so he opened a huge portal and took Galacta and her spaceship back to the outer orbit of the earth.
"I'm going back first. You can come to my house for dinner later." Lu Qi said hello to Galacta, then directly drew the portal and quickly returned to his own little home.
Thinking about the address he told Tony this morning, Lu Qi thought that Tony should have started learning magic at Kamar-Taj by now, so he called him.
"Are you back? Lu Qi?" Tony's unclear voice came over.
"What's wrong with you? Is this so bad that your face was swollen? You can't even speak clearly?"
Lu Qi asked with a frown, don't let this guy openly insult the Ancient One at Kamar-Taj and be taught how to behave by those muscular men.
The voice over there disappeared immediately. Just when Lu Qi thought something had happened to him, Tony said clearly, "No, how could I be beaten? I just suddenly discovered Kamar-Taj that there are snack streets everywhere here, and bought something to eat. It's time for dinner now, do you want to come over?"
Lu Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily, "Didn't you go there to study? Why are you eating so happily?"
Tony said unconvinced, "I can learn more in one day than you have in decades. Why is it not easy to learn?"
After taking a bite of the meatball, Tony continued, "Besides, I've been studying for most of my life, so I can't take a break?"
After swallowing the meatballs, Tony looked at the people around him and suddenly shouted, "I, Tony·Stark, will pay for tonight's consumption, everyone can eat as they please!"
Listening to the lively sounds over there, Lu Qi said helplessly, "Be careful, don't get kicked out by the Ancient One."
"Ancient One is not so petty. Besides, I shared the wifi password with him last time, so we still have some friendship. I can just have someone give her some snacks later."
Tony continued with a smile, "Besides, I walked around Kamar-Taj today and found that most of the mages here live relatively poor lives. As long as I treat them like this, I can get acquainted with them in seconds, which will be very helpful for my future studies! Don't you have a saying there? It's easy to do things with acquaintances. If I want to ask something then, I can just ask anyone!"
Lu Qi didn't expect that he would be taught sophistication by Tony, and he shook his head helplessly. But what Tony said was reasonable, and besides, he didn't lack the money.
Thinking about how you used to play Dual Cultivation and Eight Wastelands by yourself, when you got rich in the later period, wouldn't you go to the tavern and treat everyone to drinks to increase your favorability level every time you arrived in a town?
There is nothing wrong with this operation, and it is in line with Tony's character.
But listening to Tony's squeaky voice, Lu Qi felt a little unhappy and couldn't let this guy enjoy himself!
Thinking of the big eater here, Lu Qi's eyes lit up. You paid for everything tonight, right?
"Tony, I'll come over later and bring a friend with me."
"No problem, don't say one, both are fine."
Lu Qi smiled, a Galacta eats all night without knowing whether you can bear it. If her father is called, you, the so-called richest man in the world, will become the world's richest man tomorrow.
