Faced with V's bossy, overbearing demeanor, the people in the situation room exchanged glances.
Steve was the first to break the silence.
Captain America, who is known for being a nice guy, showed a gentle smile.
He strode forward and extended his right hand toward V, the movement perfectly natural.
"Welcome here, V. No matter what you've been through in the past, at least here, you can consider us friends."
V paused slightly as he looked at Steve's outstretched hand.
In Night City, a treacherous place that devours people without spitting out the bones, if someone reaches out to you, they most likely want to stab you in the stomach.
But the kindness emanating from the muscular blond man in front of her seemed somewhat unbelievable to her.
She awkwardly extended her hand, shook hands with Steve, and then quickly withdrew it.
Natasha, on the other hand, very sensibly walked to the bar in the corner.
She opened the small the Fridge door, casually took out a can of ice-cold beer, and threw it with precision, tracing an arc through the air, towards V.
"Come on, consider this a welcome dinner to wash away the dust of your journey."
Natasha smiled slightly, leaning against the edge of the bar, and said, "Judging from your expression, you probably prefer this to Tony's sour, high-end coffee."
V caught the beer, the icy touch traveling through his palm.
She pulled the tab with one hand, tilted her head back, and took a big gulp.
The cool liquid slid down her throat; it was a clarity she could no longer taste in that wasteland, and her taut nerves finally relaxed a little.
The atmosphere here is completely different from the Joker Gang's basement, and there's none of the constant vigilance and tension of Night City you're always ready to draw your gun and shoot each other.
Even Dr. Banner, who usually seems a bit socially awkward, adjusted his black-rimmed glasses.
He smiled shyly at V and nodded slightly, as if to express his goodwill.
Chen Mo was very satisfied with this harmonious scene.
It seems this V has successfully registered at the Avengers headquarters.
With these people watching over him, even with V's straightforward personality, he shouldn't suffer any major losses.
Even if all else fails, there's always the Ancient One; it's not a big problem.
Chen Mo clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.
"Alright, now that the person has been delivered, I should get down to business."
Chen Mo casually stretched and yawned, his tone somewhat languid.
"There's Black Hand Batman roaming around in the next universe waiting for me to catch, so I'm not playing house with you guys here."
Chen Mo is now extremely interested in the Batman Who Laughs.
They dared to plot against him for their own amusement; they need to be held accountable for this.
After saying that, he turned around, raised his right hand, and prepared to tear open a spatial rift and leave.
Just then, Tony, who had been holding back for ages, finally couldn't take it anymore.
"Hey! Chen Mo, wait a minute! I still have something to say!"
Tony shouted for a halt, strode to the center of the situation room, and blocked Chen Mo's path.
He raised his chin smugly, cleared his throat, and then snapped his the Snap in a very cool manner.
" JARVIS, show this country bumpkin who's never seen the world."
With a crisp the Snap, the floor in the center of the command room suddenly slid open to both sides.
A futuristic-looking circular platform slowly rose up.
Chen Mo stopped what he was doing and looked over with great interest.
Why are there lift-up platforms all over your house?
On the elevator platform, a suit of armor, shimmering with a dual light of dark gold and cool gray, stood quietly.
As the platform rises, the nanoparticles on the surface of the armor flow and take shape like water ripples.
The streamlined metal casing reflects a cold texture under the light, exuding a strong sense of oppression.
"Don't interrupt, this is the armor I told you about before, specially made for you."
Tony walked over to the armor, patted the cold metal shell, and his face was full of smugness and pride.
"To make this thing, I emptied out all the stock you had left behind."
"I used almost every special mineral and rare alloy I had on hand; Vibranium wasn't even the main character in it."
"Furthermore, I incorporated the latest Eternals technology, designing a self-circulating Cosmic Energy network for it."
"Plus the Asgard rune technology I got from Thor's father last time, the genius Mr. Stark has perfectly combined them together."
Tony became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes gleaming with a fervent scientific spirit.
"It's no exaggeration to say that this is the strongest suit of armor I currently possess. Even I want to secretly wear it out for a spin."
Chen Mo looked the dark gold armor up and down, raising an eyebrow.
To be honest, this design is absolutely stunning.
It looks much better than the black carapace he casually conjured up using the Blacklight Virus.
The only problem is that it probably won't be as durable as the leather that came with it.
Chen Mo didn't speak, but instead gave his evaluation through his actions.
He instantly transformed into a surging mass of black and red mud, lunging directly at the suit of armor.
The black mud seeped into the armor's seams and the nanoparticle interface without any hindrance.
In the blink of an eye, the previously empty armor suddenly lit up with eyes.
A faint black and red glow appeared on the surface of the dark gold armor.
That was the Blacklight Virus completing a deep binding and fusion with this mechanical body, bringing it completely under its control.
Chen Mo moved his wrists and neck, the metal joints making a smooth, soft sound.
It's very suitable, smooth, and fluid. Aside from being a little weak, there are no other problems, but it won't break easily even with a little force.
Tony's actually quite capable.
Thanks, Xiao Tuo.
Chen Mo's voice came through the armor's speaker, carrying a metallic reverberation.
"I'll take this broken metal shell. If aliens ever demolish your building, I'll definitely help you settle the score for free."
Tony rolled his eyes at Chen Mo's infuriatingly ridiculous way of thanking him, too lazy to argue with him.
Chen Mo didn't delay any longer, and the void behind him instantly distorted.
The deep, bottomless spatial passage reappeared, emitting a faint Blacklight.
He took a step, ready to step inside.
"Hey, Chen Mo."
V suddenly spoke up and shouted.
Chen Mo stopped and turned the dark gold armored head to look at her.
V stared straight at him, showing no sign of backing down even in the face of that imposing suit of armor.
"You threw me into this world, you better not keep me waiting too long."
She gritted her teeth, her hoarse voice revealing a wild, unyielding spirit.
"Once I make a name for myself in this world, I'll definitely pin you down on the bed and show you what I'm capable of."
This woman is really outrageous; her room is full of people.
Chen Mo's mask slowly descended, revealing a face with a mocking smile. He first used his gaze to intimidate the few bystanders who were watching the drama unfold.
"Is that so?"
Chen Mo grinned, his tone casual yet tinged with anticipation.
"I'm really curious, I hope you won't disappoint me."
After saying that, he turned around and strode into the spatial passage without pausing.
