"Now that your city is safe, can we sit down and have a good chat?"

Lu Qi touched his chin, he had come anyway, so he might as well solve Inhumans's problem now.

Several Inhumanss looked at each other, Black Bolt first shook his head, and Wang Zhizui Medusa quickly said, "What the king means is that our sudden arrival is not in line with etiquette. He wants to go back and prepare again before coming to see you again."

After saying that, Medusa also smiled awkwardly.

"We originally thought that those mechanical life forms were other races in the universe. We thought they were going to invade us, so we came here wearing battle uniforms as a precaution. Now that we have discovered that they are your subordinates, there is no problem. However, wearing battle clothes is still a bit... inconvenient."

Lu Qi looked at their uniforms and nodded.

I don't know what these superheroes think, but most superheroes wear tights as battle suits.

Lu Qi hadn't been surprised to see them before, but if he was going to have a formal meeting, it seemed a little wrong to have these guys sitting in front of him in tight clothes.

"Well, you go back and prepare first."

Lu Qi agreed to their request, watched them breathe a sigh of relief, and continued, "The best thing is, I hope you can come over tomorrow at the latest, because I may not have time later."

Of course, this is just a polite comment. Lu Qi is just worried that he will forget about it later, so it is better to solve it as soon as possible while he still remembers it.

Several Inhumans wanted to say something, but they were all stopped by Black Bolt, "In that case, I will go back and prepare first."

Medusa sensed Black Bolt's thoughts and said directly.

Several people touched Tetanus and disappeared in front of Lu Qi and Tony like piles of sand blown away by the wind.

"They don't seem to have any strange organs, but it's not obvious from their appearance that they have any abilities."

Tony watched several people disappear, and the helmet folded and disappeared again.

Looking at Tony with a curious look on his face, Lu Qi smiled and said, "I know you want to know more about them, so I'll just tell you a little bit."

"Inhumans is a new race created by the Kree Empire, one of the alien empires, on the basis of ancient humans - Homo sapiens. Their genes have been greatly optimized, making their basic values, namely lifespan, strength and speed, much stronger than humans."

"And they can also mutate again through something called Terrigen Crystal. If they are lucky, they can obtain superpowers. Once they obtain superpowers, they will immediately gain a very high status."

"So, they still have a hierarchy?" Tony asked curiously.

"It's not a hierarchy, but in Black Bolt, the man with the tuning fork on his head just now is the leader of Inhumans. Before he took office, those without superpowers were no different from slaves. But after Black Bolt took office, he slowly abolished the slavery system and gave equal status to ordinary people."

"But, equality only means that ordinary people no longer have to work for free, and have risen from slaves to workers. And if you are lucky and can successfully awaken your superpower during the awakening ceremony at the coming-of-age ceremony, you will immediately gain a very high social status. It can be said that you will do nothing in your life and have no worries about food and clothing."

"This is easy to understand." Tony smiled. Although the slavery system in Inhumans was abolished, and it seems that people with super powers and those without powers have the same status, in fact, people with super powers still have many privileges.

Just like the situation on earth, although everyone is equal, there are still some inexplicable differences between the rich and the poor, and their lives are also completely different.

"So, as long as you are lucky, ordinary people can still jump over the dragon gate and reach the sky in one step?"

"No." Lu Qi shook his head, "Don't forget what I said before. Inhumans is actually a race modified by the Kree Empire. Although their appearance is similar to humans, there is a big gap in their internal genes. To be honest, I believe that there is reproductive isolation between humans and Inhumans."

"And the awakening of their superpowers largely depends on whether their genes are powerful. After so many years, those Inhuman who are genetically powerful and can awaken superpowers have basically successfully entered the upper echelons of the social class. The remaining civilians... it is a miracle that two people awaken their superpowers in a year."

Speaking of this, Lu Qi remembered something interesting.

"Compared with civilians who find it difficult to awaken to superpowers, it is also difficult for upper-class families not to awaken to superpowers, but..."

Tony smelled the gossip, immediately became interested, and leaned over, "If a person is unlucky, his teeth will be blocked even if he drinks cold water."

Lu Qi nodded, "Black Bolt, as the king of Inhumans, is very powerful and has the power to control energy. Especially when he speaks, the energy will tilt out and transform into a powerful sonic wave that can tear the moon apart!"

Tony couldn't help but take a breath, "So strong?"

At this time, Tony realized why Lu Qi was directly in front of him. If he didn't know this person's ability, he might have been killed in one encounter. But now that he knew the other person's ability, it would be easier to handle.

Onomatopoeia is not a real sound wave. It can propagate without a medium, so it can also be transmitted in the universe. But don't forget, Wakanda has just been born, and the souvenir Vibranium inside has another name: Sound-Absorbing Steel!

Of course, this does not mean that Vibranium can absorb sound, but that it can absorb energy. But isn't Black Bolt's ability so much a sonic attack as actually energy?

In this wave, Black Bolt can be said to be completely restrained by Vibranium. However, Black Bolt's attack is a range attack, and the number of Vibranium is not large, so it is not completely restrained.

It seems that at some point I have to spend some money to buy some Vibranium and build a Vibranium armor. I hope that for the sake of helping me, Wakanda can sell some Vibranium to myself.

Tony thought with some pain that although he has a net worth of nearly 100 billion U. S. dollars, most of them are fixed assets and there is not much liquid cash. The price of Vibranium is about 10,000 U. S. dollars per gram. It is estimated that it will cost a lot of money to build a layer of Vibranium armor.

Hey, I didn't expect that one day I, the richest man on earth, would be troubled by not having enough money.

Wait, Wakanda is still a monarchy. The new king T'Challa owns the entire Wakanda, even Vibranium.

According to the price of Vibranium, the richest man on earth should be T'Challa.

Suddenly realizing that he was no longer the richest man on earth, Tony felt a little complicated for a while.

"What's wrong?" Lu Qi looked at Tony strangely, how could this guy turn himself into autistic after listening to gossip?

Tony came back to his senses and looked at Lu Qi's strange eyes, "It's nothing, I just found that my money making ability is not as good as others, I feel a bit... ugh!"

Lu Qi looked at his appearance and put his arms around his shoulders, "Knowledge is the most valuable thing, okay? The things in your brain are already priceless, so why are you comparing yourself to others?"

Tony reluctantly accepted Lu Qi's comfort, and his expression changed back.

"Then what's next? I haven't finished listening to the gossip just now."

Lu Qi watched Tony recover and continued, "As I just said, even those families with extremely excellent genes will have incompetent people. Black Bolt's extremely strong ability means that his genes are extremely excellent, but even in their family's situation, there is also an incompetent person."

"His brother is an incompetent person!"

Tony also feels a little incredible. I didn't expect that a person as strong as Black Bolt would have an ordinary brother.

"I guess this guy is often compared to me." Tony said, touching his chin.

It is said that it is relatively good, although I dare not say it on the surface, but behind the scenes, there may be many people who look down on Black Bolt's younger brother, but due to Black Bolt's face, they did not show it.

"There is definitely some comparison, but this guy is pretty good. Although he has no superpowers, he has still become a super scientist and has achieved quite a few achievements. But...Inhumans has long believed that superpowers are the real power. He doesn't take technology seriously, so he still endures a lot of pressure."

Tony Listening to what Lu Qi said, he couldn't help but put himself into the situation of the stinky brother, and said unhappily, "What's wrong, it can't be done without superpowers? I don't have superpowers, so I can still beat them down!"

"But those Inhumans don't think so. Thousands of years of concepts cannot be reversed in a short while. Although they have enjoyed the convenience brought by the technology created by that guy, his glory is still overshadowed by his brother, making everything seem so insignificant."

Tony also sighed. In this regard, Inhumans is quite human, with prejudices that are extremely difficult to change.

Just like those astronomers who proposed the heliocentric theory in the past, they were persecuted because their views were different from the concepts that people had formed for a long time.

The same goes for that guy I've never met before. He must be tortured a lot by stereotypes.

"Don't always put yourself in someone else's place. I'm just gossiping. Why are you so autistic?"

Lu Qi looked at Tony's bored look and patted him on the back, directly calling Tony out of the sadness in his heart.

Seeing Tony come back to his senses, Lu Qi shrugged helplessly, "It looks like you will become autistic if you keep talking, but it just so happens that you already have a magic armor now, and the threat to you from other Inhuman is already very small. In Inhumans, you only need to care about Black Bolt."

Tony stretched out and said, "Well, then I probably know. I also have a new idea here. If I go back to build layer armor, I don't have to be afraid Black Bolt."

"You really build an anti-war armor for everyone you meet." Although usually whoever resists will be demolished.

Tony put on his helmet and said to Lu Qi, "I've said it before, I don't like to wait for others to hit the door before I fight back. I usually prepare a counterattack at the first opportunity, so that I won't be in a hurry due to a sudden attack."

After finishing speaking, Tony gave a thumbs up, "Defenders Because Wakanda's previous battle was accepted and valued by many countries, there are many things going on now, so I won't stay any longer."

Lu Qi nodded and looked at Tony's flying figure. The long-awaited chat was over, so he had to get down to business.

Lu Qi turned to look at Megatron, "Inhumans, you don't have to surround others all the time. Just observe them from a distance. Don't let them run around."

Watching Megatron nod and leave, Galacta came to his side, Lu Qi also looked at Trading Station in front of him and smiled.

"Then next, it's time to talk to them about cross-world transactions and the expansion of Trading Station again."

After that, Lu Qi called over all the current franchisee representatives of Trading Station, including Thor, who is also the representative of Asgard.

It seems that the last time Lu Qi threw him off the roof, it did not cause any harm or psychological shadow to him. This guy still looks like he is not very smart.

However, during his conversations with other representatives, Lu Qi also noticed that this guy was slowly becoming shrewder. He said many things in vague terms and dealt with others casually.

Ignoring this guy's changes, Lu Qi immediately informed them of the cross-world transaction with Tiga World and the news of Trading Station's upcoming expansion.

Although these people seem a little surprised to be able to trade across the world, they have experienced so many things in the past year, and their ability to accept has become stronger.

In addition, cross-world transactions essentially involve one more trading party. These guys have experienced it many times and there were no problems. The meeting ended soon.

After finishing the matter here, Lu Qi also plans to go to the Ancient One's place to take a look, collect the weapons produced by the mage factory, and then have a few words with the Ancient One.

Galacta planned to chat with her little sister Shuri. After all, such a big thing happened to Wakanda, and she was quite worried about Shuri.

Furthermore, there are many topics to talk about between girls, and Galacta also has many secret things that he wants to say to Shuri.

In the Inhumans palace, Black Bolt was sitting on his throne, and a guard ran in from outside the palace.

"Those mechanical giants have left, but there is still a giant that has turned into a battleship and is observing us from a distance."

Black Bolt nodded and waved for him to leave.

As soon as the guard left, a Inhuman who had followed him to Earth looked respectfully at Black Bolt on the throne.

"Your Majesty, do we really have to go to Earth to talk to that person tomorrow?"

Black Bolt nodded and motioned to Medusa on the side to speak for him.

"Yes, we have promised him, so we must go, otherwise we will offend this strong man. With his power, I think if we make him unhappy, New Attilan will be promoted in the next second."

The expression on Black Bolt's face is very solemn. Although Inhumans has been living on the moon, it does not mean that they do not understand the things on the earth.

"Then can we leave here? Relying on Lockjaw's ability, I think we can move out secretly."

Seeing everyone looking at him, the Inhuman also continued, "Of course I know that even with Lockjaw, we still can't transfer all Inhuman out, but as long as we can transfer the upper level with super powers, then..."

"Do you want to abandon ordinary people?" A man with no sense of presence standing at the edge of the hall suddenly said. He is the younger brother of Black Bolt, ordinary person: Maximus.

Listening to what this guy said, Maximus was also a little angry after a long time, "So in your eyes, Inhumans without superpowers is not Inhuman?"

Inhuman glanced at Black Bolt and quickly said, "That's not what I meant. Isn't the main person not very good at killing people? Then even if we leave, the people of New Attilan will not be killed!"

Maximus was too lazy to listen to this guy's excuses and said angrily, "You are just guessing. What if that guy sees you running away and blows up the shield?"

Seeing that Inhuman was speechless, Maximus continued, "I'm too lazy to argue with you anymore. If you want to leave, just leave. I will stay here! By the way, I will not help you build any new bases. If you still want to move, I will no longer provide relevant technology!"

After saying that, Maximus didn't care about other people's expressions and walked out directly.

Black Bolt watched his brother leave with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

As for sighing, he didn't dare to sigh, otherwise the palace would collapse and not many people in it would survive.

Medusa felt Black Bolt's thoughts and said to the Inhuman: "Don't say such things anymore. Inhumans will not abandon any clan members. I will see Mr. Lu Qi tomorrow. It's settled."

After settling the matter, Black Bolt gave Medusa a look, and Medusa immediately walked outside. Although Black Bolt wanted to go and see her brother by herself, considering that she couldn't speak, Maximus might not be able to look at him slowly even if he was using sign language. Only she could do it.
