Fooling Little Morgan

"Hey! I'm talking to you!" Dissatisfied with Lin Yi's momentary distraction, Morgan lowered her head to fumble a glowing pink metal badge out of her pocket and shoved it into Lin Yi's hand, lifting her little chin proudly. "This is for you! It's an exclusive certification for Morgan's fans, you know!"

"With this, every week you can go to the Morgan Fan Building behind you to collect abundant daily living supplies! This is a benefit the young lady gives her fans!"

"The Morgan Fan Building?" Lin Yi instinctively turned around and looked all around, feeling a bit dazed as he didn't see any building that fit the description.

Morgan's endlessly clacking little mouth abruptly stopped. She eyed Lin Yi suspiciously up and down, a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone. "Hey! Are you even a real fan?! The Morgan Fan Building is right there! The tallest, greatest building in all of New York!"

As she spoke, she stretched out a small hand to point at the towering Stark Tower in the distance.

...Why did he feel like this was the expected answer?

"Oh well, whatever, never mind." Morgan rolled her eyes, waved her little hand, and returned to an excited state.

"As the tenth lucky fan, I, Morgan Stark, now officially bestow upon you a supreme honor!"

"Tonight, you can have dinner together with Miss Morgan. Rejoice, give thanks, my fan!"

Holy crap, there's a good thing like this?

He was originally wondering how to steer the conversation, and now it delivered itself right to his doorstep?

Lin Yi's eyes lit up. He desperately held back his awkwardness and laughter, squeezed out an expression of being overwhelmed with a tremor, and let out a wow.

"Really?! Miss Morgan! Do I really have this honor?"

He was shaking, he was trembling, holding back his laughter was so hard! Forgive him, this walking piece of intel was practically being fed right to his mouth, he simply couldn't refuse!

Given Stark Tower's level and the logos all over the streets, there was no better channel for gathering information than this!

Morgan just took Lin Yi's constant shaking as excitement. She lifted her chin, walked forward very naturally, reached out her small hand to grab Lin Yi's paw, and dragged him along as she walked.

"Of course I do! Don't waste time, we're heading to the restaurant right now!"

It was already five o'clock in the afternoon; calculating the time, it was almost dinner.

Lin Yi let himself be dragged along submissively, his mind already beginning to plot how to make indirect inquiries without arousing suspicion. He didn't notice the trace of craftiness hidden within the excited and proud expression on Morgan's face the moment she turned around.

JARVIS's undetectable voice came through the miniature earpiece. "Miss, the target's energy reaction index is too high. Ordinary contact cannot obtain biological information; it is deduced that an unknown force field barrier exists around him."

"Based on the target's appearance method and comprehensive energy reactions, the target's threat level is analyzed as a Level Five threat. It is recommended to immediately contact Mr. Stark for handling."

Hearing this, Morgan didn't show the slightest bit of fear. Instead, excitement and the light of "wisdom" (at least she thought so herself) coexisted in those big eyes, and she decisively rejected JARVIS's proposal.

Her inner abacus was clicking away loudly. Daddy always said she was young and wouldn't let her do this or touch that, not only feeling she needed protection, but even using that thing to fade her presence in other people's eyes!

Now, she was going to prove to Daddy what kind of intelligence and strength Morgan Stark possessed! The historical chapter of her superhero fame would begin with capturing the ill-intentioned illegal intruder right before her eyes!

What she didn't know, however, was that the very moment JARVIS's voice sounded, Lin Yi caught it.

Even less did she know that JARVIS only agreed to her on the surface while turning around to sync a message to Tony at Stark Tower.

As for high above in the distant low Earth orbit, the Stark Industries satellite locked onto the two of them the very moment Morgan made contact with Lin Yi.

Lin Yi's scalp tingled slightly for a moment. He looked up at the sky, then glanced in the direction of Stark Tower.

The drones had withdrawn for the most part, and now they were swapping to a satellite aimed right at him?

It seemed his guess was right; those logo-less drones also came from Stark Industries.

Also, JARVIS seemingly hadn't disappeared in this universe. As for the Level Five threat... though he didn't know what it specifically was, it somehow felt a bit low?

Moreover, Lin Yi lowered his head to take a look; he seemed to have underestimated the degree of "mischief" in this universe's Morgan...

In the Stark Tower workshop, Tony held a wine glass, quietly watching the screen showing an excited Morgan and a calm Lin Yi.

"Level Five threat... Where did this one come from, which planet, or some other universe?"

"And, did he just glance at me a moment ago?" Tony looked at Lin Yi's action in the screen; that glance just then had been cast toward Stark Tower, but he always felt that in that split second, the two of them had made eye contact.

"Sir, I must remind you, it is the minimum fifth level. The Nano Suit equipped by Miss Morgan does not possess the capability to handle threats above level five. Shall we take measures?"

Tony pondered for a moment, set down his wine glass, looked at the question mark on Lin Yi's profile, and after a brief hesitation, picked up an orange glowing object.

"Initiate war status for the Authority Satellite, preheat the N1 space-based weapon, I'll go myself..."

Meanwhile, Lin Yi had already been pulled by Morgan to a hotel beside an artificial lake.

The hotel was very tall. Although it didn't match that absurd Stark Tower, it was already the second tallest in New York.

The private restaurant on the top floor was set up to receive all kinds of important figures, and Morgan had the authorization to open it.

Standing before the floor-to-ceiling windows, nighttime New York was brightly lit, with coming and going pedestrians crawling about everywhere like ants.

"Mr. Fan, stop looking! Come eat!" Morgan carefully sprinkled some powder onto the steak in front of Lin Yi.

Seeing the colorless and odorless substance quickly blend into it, Morgan let out a sigh of relief and called out.

"Coming, coming!" Lin Yi felt a burst of amusement, pretending not to see the little trick Morgan had done with her back to him.

This kid's intent was too obvious. On the way here, she had already subjected him to a round of her somewhat childish conversational tactics, and under her indirect probing, she was practically one question away from asking Lin Yi how many hairs he had lost today.

Moreover, all her focus had been placed on gathering information, so Morgan hadn't guarded against some of the questions Lin Yi asked, which also allowed Lin Yi to acquire quite a bit of info.

Instead, all that huge pile of Lin Yi's profile data that Morgan thought she had mastered was just Lin Yi making up stories for her.

"Come on, hurry and try this steak! Master Jack's cuisine isn't something you can eat every day!" Morgan introduced it with an expectant expression.

"Huh? Is this that alien chef you mentioned earlier, the one helped by your daddy?" Lin Yi paused his action of picking up the knife and fork.

Morgan had already brought this up on the way here.

Aliens on the Blue Star now almost all came to Blue Star seeking asylum after their bodies were infected by the black-purple vein virus.

According to what Morgan revealed, it also allowed Lin Yi to confirm that this universe indeed shared the same cosmic virus model as his own.

And someone here seemed to have mastered the technology to isolate the Cosmic Virus, keeping all the cosmic viruses quarantined outside of Blue Star.

On the surface, Morgan acted as if she didn't know about this technology, but her acting was too naive.

She definitely knew something.

Seeing Lin Yi stunned there, Morgan grew a bit anxious.

"Eat up! It doesn't taste good when it's cold! Eat quickly!" To show that this thing was delicious, Morgan took it upon herself to cut a piece from her own plate and chew rapidly.

Look, she didn't even have that bit of patience! And she was practically writing there's a problem all over that anxious little face!

"Eat slowly." Lin Yi came back to his senses, glanced at Morgan, and instinctively pulled out a tissue to help wipe the juice from the corner of her mouth. This action made Morgan freeze.

Lin Yi's action of wiping the corner of her mouth was natural and smooth, looking like the skilled care of everyday behavior. Why did it feel a bit familiar?
