Chapter 304: Boost Fighting Spirit
Replace it with someone else.
With such an attitude towards himself, Tony would never have had a very good face.
Although he is a superhero who saves the world, it does not mean that he is easy to talk to.
However, in the face of the perfunctory attitude of the takeaway kid in front of him, Tony's face not only did not show any dissatisfaction, but subconsciously hooked the corners of his mouth, looking happy.
Tony was happy, naturally not because he deliberately accommodated when he saw that the other party was a child, but purely because he gloated when he saw the reluctant expression of the annoying imp in front of him.
That's right, the kid in front of him is the little ghost he saw outside the food truck not long ago, the little ghost who was taken in by [Xie Lu].
And the reason why he went to Stark Industries to deliver roast wheat was also Tony's suggestion to make the other party self-reliant.
Of course, Tony's purpose in making this suggestion could never be for the good of the other party.
On the contrary, it was precisely because of the displeasure with this imp that Tony came up with such a solution.
A reasonable and able way to vent.
"It came a little later than I expected."
Looking at the little face on the other side that was about to wrinkle into an orange, Tony only felt refreshed, and the depressed mood that he had been depressed by the other party's remarks was swept away, he glanced down at the mechanical bracelet in his hand, and said unceremoniously: "If you do this again next time, I won't tip you." β
"You'd better not pay!"
Hearing Tony's arrogant tone, the child's original wrinkled expression on his face became even more wrinkled, and he reluctantly dragged Tony in front of him with his little short legs, and handed the bag in his hand to the well-known Iron Man, and said in a fierce tone.
"So I don't have to come, and I don't have to see your nasty face again."
"How's that going to work?"
Raising his eyebrows, he casually took out the meal money and tips that had been prepared from his pocket and handed it to the child, Tony said lightly: "I told [Xie Lu], this is a kind of exercise for you." β
Smack-
"I don't need your workout!"
Although he said this, looking at Franklin in Tony's hand, the child still grabbed the money in his hand with a duplicitous look, and while looking at the obviously excessive fee with joy, he said casually: "While the roast wheat is still hot, eat it quickly." β
"Why, it seems, you still care about me?"
Hearing the child's persuasion, Tony's face couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
"Who said that?"
However, the look of surprise on Tony's face didn't last for a few seconds, and the child's next words made the expression on his face less rosy again.
I saw him carefully fold the Franklin in his hand and put it into the small pocket of his jacket, and then looked at Tony in front of him, and replied seriously: "I'm just worried about the taste of the golden ratio of the roasted wheat in the bag, although you hate it, but after all, the roasted wheat is innocent, I can't make the roasted wheat unpalatable because I hate you." β
[Legendary ...... from Tony Stark]
Hearing the serious reply of the little ghost in front of him, especially when he noticed that the other party's gaze was projected on the golden ratio of roasted wheat in his hand.
couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and he always felt that after meeting the little ghost in front of him, he was not in a good mood.
"I've paid for it, and now this bag of siu mai belongs to me, and I can eat it whenever I want."
"Are you sure?"
Raising his little head and looking at Tony, who was not kind to his tone, the child said with an unhurried expression: "For dim sum cuisine, time is life, especially Master Xie's golden ratio of roasted wheat, when it is just baked, it is the perfect time to taste, and the further the time goes, the more delicious the roasted wheat will continue to lose along with the heat, and then wait for a while for the skin of the roasted wheat to harden, even if you eat it again, the taste will not be as delicious as now." β
ββ¦β¦β
Hearing the imp's words, Tony stared at him in silence for a few seconds.
Only then did he remove his eyes, and hurriedly picked up the siu mai in his hand and began to taste it.
Although the little ghost in front of him is annoying, Tony has to admit that what the other party said does have some truth.
"Tony, don't tell me why you're ordering takeout."
In the office, Tony and the child are arguing.
Natasha looked at Tony with a strange look on her face and asked, "Is that what you're doing here?" β
"Of course not."
In response to Natasha's suspicious gaze, Tony swallowed the last roasted wheat in his hand into his mouth, and then replied with a serious face: "My main purpose is to make it easier to eat soasted wheat." β
Looking at Tony's serious response, the expression on Natasha's face had just changed a little, and then she saw Tony on the other side change her words, and continued: "The second is to let this little ghost taste the bitterness." β
"Hmph, I knew that!"
Hearing Tony's words, the child rolled his eyes and snorted.
"Why are you still here?"
Hearing the cold snort, Tony dropped his gaze, looked at the child who was still in the office, and unceremoniously issued an eviction order: "Since the roasted wheat has been delivered, your work is over, you can leave next, go and send other people's roasted wheat." β
"You think everyone is like you, eating a piece of roasted wheat and running errands."
In the face of Tony's eviction order, the child turned his little face and made a look of ignorance.
His gaze swept over the office layout, and soon fell on the scattered remains of the 'Pacifist' in the center, and he rolled his eyes with a grunt, ran to the robot in a puff of smoke, and stretched out his hand to ask, "What is this?" β
"Hey, little ghost, don't mess around!"
Looking at the child who didn't think of himself as an outsider at all, Tony couldn't help but frown and scare.
"Watch out for this guy attacking you."
"Do you think I'm a kid who doesn't understand anything?"
Hearing Tony's obstruction, the child pursed his lips, obviously not taking his words too seriously: "This guy has been broken like this, and he can still move." β
As he spoke, he stretched out his small hand and placed it on the body of the remains of the 'pacifists'.
Then, without any of the Avengers noticing, a wisp of silver-white metallic liquid quietly burrowed into the shattered chest of the 'Pacifist's wreckage along the child's palm.
On the surface, the child still made an expression of 'sure enough', turned his head and shouted to Tony behind him: "Look, I just said, how can this broken robot still be ......"
Click, click-
The words in the mouth are not finished.
The only remaining eye of the 'Pacifist' in front of him cooperated, and began to flicker like an old street lamp, and then the pitch-black muzzle of the cannon protruded from its half-cut mouth.
ββ¦β¦ Lock...... Target...... Enter the ...... Pattern ......"
Then the staccato sound came from the mouth of the 'pacifist', and the direction the muzzle of the gun was aimed at was the child in front of him.
"What?!"
[Legendary ...... from Steve Rogers]
[Legendary ...... from Tony Stark]
γFrom Natasha ......γ
Looking at the suddenly activated 'Pacifist', the Avengers members suddenly had stunned expressions on their faces.
However, before they had time to change their expressions, the next move of the 'pacifists' made several of them change their faces drastically.
Steve clenched the shield in his hand and subconsciously threw himself towards the child's location.
"Jarvis!"
Tony stretched out his arm as well, shouting at Jarvis.
β¦β¦
Bang β
"What the hell is going on?"
After a few seconds, Steve lowered his shield, revealing the intact child under the shield, and frowned as he looked at the more broken 'Pacifist' in front of him.
The 'Pacifist' in front of him was brought to Tony, so Steve was well aware that the robot had been damaged by the Defenders League and could not attack.
"I don't know."
Lowering his arm-wrapped arm, Tony's face was just as serious.
After all, just a little bit, the imp in front of him was about to be hit by the muzzle of the 'pacifist'.
If it weren't for the captain's quick reaction.
Glancing at the imp protected by Steve, Tony breathed a sigh of relief, and then his expression was correct, and he returned his gaze to the 'pacifist' in front of him, frowning and guessing: "Maybe there is a set of core programs inside the robot that have not been destroyed, but have entered a dormant state, and under the contact of this imp, they accidentally lifted the dormant state and re-entered the attack mode......"
"No matter what the situation is, it is very obvious that the existence of this robot is definitely not an ordinary guy."
Tony had seen the 'Pacifist' shoot from the muzzle of the gun that hit Steve's shield.
Although the laser was not as powerful as he imagined due to the serious damage to the machine itself, Tony clearly sensed the danger of this attack from the structure of the opponent's weapon.
To put it mildly, this is a more dangerous and clever design than the lasers he used before.
From the previous surprise attack alone, Tony had a lot of ideas for new weapons to modify.
"Captain, listen to what you just said, there are quite a few similar robots like this?"
Retracting his gaze, Tony turned to Steve and asked.
Nodding, Steve replied honestly.
"Listen to the defenders say that in Hell's Kitchen, there are more than ten 'pacifist' robots in this series as far as they know, and there are only more hidden unknowns......"
"Mass-produced robots?"
Hearing Steve's answer, Tony raised his eyebrows, and his original lazy mood suddenly disappeared.
He was eager to see if the 'Pacifists' he had been transformed by these unknown makers were greater, or if his Iron Armor was even better.
β¦β¦
S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, inside the Triple Wing Building.
Nick Fury looked down at the USB flash drive in his hand and was silent.
The contents of the USB flash drive were taken from Natasha's copy of the ship during the previous hostage rescue operation, and theoretically the contents were not important, but thinking of the vampire who appeared on the ship and the attacker with the metal arm that Steve said, Nick Fury felt that he needed to re-examine the contents of the USB flash drive.
"Closed office."
After a few seconds of silence, Nick Fury gave the order.
The office also fell into closed mode with his orders.
Glancing at the dark window behind him, Nick Fury took out the USB flash drive in his hand and inserted it into the S.H.I.E.L.D. supercomputer.
"Open the file."
"Access denied."
Accept Nick Fury's command, and the supercomputer responds.
"Run decryption."
Nick Fury was not surprised by this and continued.
"Decryption failed."
However, the next supercomputer's reply was somewhat unexpected by the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. director.
"Super empowered, Director Nick Fury."
Looking at the failure prompt displayed on the computer screen, Nick Fury raised his thick dark eyebrows and continued.
"Authorization failed, all files were sealed."
Surprisingly, under the authorization, the crack still failed.
"Who's giving the order!"
"Nick Fury."
Hearing the supercomputer's answer, the expression on Nick Fury's face deepened a little.
β¦β¦
"It's really rare for Nick to come to the Security Council on your own initiative."
The Triple Wing Building, the department of the Security Council.
Alexander looked at Nick Fury who appeared at the door of the office and couldn't help but look surprised.
"I thought you didn't want to come here again, after all, it took me a lot of effort to help you convince them to agree to your plan in the previous argument with the Security Council."
"Actually, that's what I originally thought." Reaching out to shake the hand of his old friend, Nick Fury turned his head to look at the scene on the other side of the glass, and could see that he had not come at the right time.
"Looks like you're busy."
"You know, because of the steamer."
Hearing Nick Fury's words, Alexander shrugged.
"Vampires, huh." Raising an eyebrow, Nick Fury said.
"That's right, those damn vampires."
Nodding, Alexander replied with the same helpless expression.
"Because of the extraordinary forces involved, the attitude of the Security Council is obviously stronger, and it took a lot of effort to appease them."
"Alexander."
Silently listening to the complaints of his old friend, Nick Fury suddenly said in silence: "Things have changed a little, I need your help, I hope to organize another vote to postpone the ongoing "Insight Project", maybe our previous ideas were too simplistic and did not really consider the danger of this plan. β
