Outside Tony's villa, Ivan's figure changed from hazy to solid.

If you don't count the specific month but the year, he is now 16 years old.

The height has changed from less than 1.6 meters to 175 centimeters now, although it is still a little shorter than Tony and Wade, but it has surpassed Natasha and Wei, and is no longer the minimum standard among the Avengers.

"It's going to be a long ......"

Evan is full of confidence in himself, maybe in another year or two of development, the transformed Dr. Banner will only be able to reach his knees......

Despite his slightly immature appearance, Evan's outfit is no longer as childish and maverick as he used to be.

On the one hand, the success of his character and the growth of his age require him to make this change, and on the other hand, his own growth and the heroes he has summoned, especially Sindra, give him the confidence not to care about others, eh...... Although he had never thought about it before.

Pulling the somewhat compact zipper down to make the neckline of the jacket more soothing, Evan pulled out a sheet of metal and shook it into the air, and the closed door slowly opened.

"Welcome, Mr. Glazer. ”

The slightly empty voice rang in his ears, and Evan put away his passcard and walked through the door, his mouth responding, "Thank you, Jarvis." ”

......

"Hey, Evan, welcome. ”

Pepper Potts greeted him, took the gift box that Ivan was holding in his left hand, looked twice at his metallic left hand, and led him to the living room.

With Syndra's help, Evan was able to roughly complete the basic construction of the "Source Project?Command", but the use of this ability was a high drain on his conscious energy, and could only be used as a means of stress rather than a conventional means for the time being.

In addition, Wei and Ahri also warned him in this regard, telling him not to oversqueeze the use of consciousness energy, so as not to cause the depletion and dullation of mental power, which will affect his health.

Therefore, with Ivan's current ability to bear, he should generally use two "commands" to exit the battle sequence to restore his consciousness power.

Three times was a red line, and after that, he basically lost the ability to act independently.

However, the necklace given by the Supreme Mage when he first met the Ancient One was able to soothe his mental exhaustion and help him recover and slowly grow his consciousness power, so even if he used the "Command" three times, it would not cause fainting.

Of course, the number of "instructions" here is calculated based on the highest consumption of "instructions" that he can master so far, and the "instructions" with low consumption can be used a little more often.

In any case, Project Source: Directive is not yet capable of replacing his other means.

Therefore, Ivan improved the "Five Rings" and made them into metal gloves inlaid with five gems of various colors, and wore them on his left hand.

In addition, he also embedded the "Displacement Disc", which has become close to maturity, in the back of his hand, and added the "Movement" ability to the "Super Gauntlet" that can be displaced at any time while ensuring that the related abilities such as "Frost", "Fire", "Lightning", "Activation", and "Force Field" are not affected.

However, unlike the spatial movement ability brought by the "Cosmic Rubik's Cube", the "Displacement Disk" can only allow Ivan to teleport on Earth by changing and alternating coordinate points, because it is the center of the earth that constitutes the origin of its reference coordinate system.

If you want to teleport in the universe, you also need to get more information about the relevant parameters in the universe, so as to carry out a second technological innovation of the "displacement disk".

"The problem of energy...... Maybe a solution can be found beyond the earth?"

Although the current "super glove" has almost exhausted all the technical means that Evan has mastered, it is already a mature technological product.

But everything, including the "displacement disc", still does not have the possibility of replication.

The issue of energy supply remains unresolved, and Ivan can now only power them with the permission given by Sindra, thus completing the drive for their related capabilities.

I have to say that the "qualifications" given by Sindra really helped Ivan a lot.

Although it was not visible from the outside, and no one could detect any changes in Evan, the truth was that if he wanted to, he could pick up an unopened light bulb and make it glow.

"Consciousness energy also has to be enhanced, this is not urgent, but it seems that the exercise of physical fitness should be on the agenda?"

Ivan has always had a clear understanding of his own shortcomings and shortcomings, but the fact is that these shortcomings are not transferred by personal willpower.

Compared with his peers, his physique is thin and thin, and the exercise of consciousness power will be half the effort.

But this does not mean that he has any pathologies, and what he lacks is not nutrition and fitness, but the sublimation of his physique.

Genetic medicine can do this, and he also gained Mondo's technical knowledge in biological research, and even made "Dr. Lizard" to infiltrate the Hydra base to conduct personal technical research and improvement work.

Now, making a genetic potion that boosts his physical fitness is not something that is impossible for him, but he still hasn't done it.

On the one hand, his assimilation of knowledge and the improvement of technology are in a stage of rapid growth, and he always feels that his previous plans and ideas are full of loopholes, and on the other hand, he is far less compatible with biology than mechanics and energetics, and the two big men Mondo and Hulk have also set a bad benchmark for him, so that he has always been unable to do anything to himself.

Therefore, he hopes to make up for his physical shortcomings with the help of effective exercise, and then wait for his scientific and technological level to reach a certain level, and then learn from Heimerdinger, Victor, Jace and other bigwigs, and directly clarify the path to sublimate the essence of his life.

"It's good to have one of the two grandmasters, the blind monk and Jax......"

Looking at the "legendary value memory" that was almost full, Evan thought about it more than once.

As for Olaf, who is still happily playing in hell, he is really afraid that his fragile little body will be wasted in the hands of the two of them.

......

"What is this?"

Tony Stark asked suspiciously, looking at the box in front of him.

"A gift for a visit!"

Evan who was sitting across from him replied, continuing to look at the metal gloves he wore on his left hand, and the more he looked at them, the more he felt that they were very similar to the one he remembered.

Thinking about whether to apply for an "art design patent", and when he met "Brother Taro" in the future, he directly threw the patent certificate in his face, and then reprimanded him for being a shameful "plagiarist and follower"......

"You're giving me a gift?"

Tony Stark had an expression of disbelief when he saw a baby's face in the sun, and seeing that Evan was not looking good, he decisively rounded up the topic: "I mean, I'm flattered. ”

"Open it and see?"

Pepper Potts, who was sitting next to her, suggested to her boyfriend.

"Uh......"

Secretly flicked a roll of his eyes at this stupid woman who didn't have a point in her heart, Tony rubbed his palm a few times on his knee, said "I'll go change my clothes and open it again", and got up and left.

Pepper took an orange and opened it, handed it to Evan, and said with a half-puzzled and half-teasing smile: "It's the first time I've seen him so formal......"

Before he finished speaking, seeing that Evan's expression was a little strange, he turned his head to follow his gaze, and saw Tony Stark, dressed in a new costume, walking over, swallowing all the words he wanted to say back, and the whole person froze there.

"Honey, you ...... Isn't that an exaggeration?"

Pepper looked at her heavily armed boyfriend in "Mark armor" and said in a ridiculous tone.

She glanced at Evan and turned angry at Tony's tone: "You should apologize, Tony, Evan is kind enough to send you ......"

"It's okay, Pepper," Ivan leaned back on the couch and said in a playful tone, "I can understand Tony, maybe the next time I give him a gift, I should change to a box that can be disassembled remotely, so that he can hide in the lab and huddle in the arms of a stuffed teddy bear that makes him feel safe, use the remote control to disassemble the gift, and then let the monitor give him a surprise under the box!"

"Hey, boy, listen up," Tony Stark cocked a finger, "I like your challenge." ”

"Jarvis—"

As the voice sounded, the steel suit instantly disassembled into a combination module, left Tony's body, flew into the loading room and disappeared.

Pressing the gift box with his hand, inexplicably, Tony was a little weak-hearted.

"Are you sure you don't need to bring your teddy bear here?"

"Humph!"

Tony Stark snorted coldly at the bastard's taunt and quickly opened the box.

Unexpectedly, there were no explosions, no smoke, and no flying punches to the cheek, which softened Tony's tense muscles.

"Huh," he whistled lightly, and Tony looked at the revealing gift, "A cowboy-style doll?"

"Well done, copy out a fifth of my handsomeness!"

It was a 30-centimeter-tall doll that looked lifelike.

The doll is Tony's appearance, dressed in a western cowboy style.

"Thank you, Ivan, I'll find him a good place to put it!"

"Preferably somewhere at eye level with you. ”

"Why?"

Tony looked puzzled.

"Because the 'Therapy Doll?' Tony Dog is activated by iris unlocking. ”

Evan explained solemnly, with a serious expression as if he could go to the door of the morgue to notify the family of the critical illness with a stethoscope.

"What do you call it?"

Tony Stark, who was looking at the puppet, raised his voice, but before he could look up, he met the puppet's eyes and ushered in a change.

A familiar melody sounds, followed by a synth that Nick himself can't make out the difference in - "Tony and Husky sit in a tree".

"Who sits on the tree with whom" is a classic American nursery rhyme to the effect that two people sit on a tree in a beautiful atmosphere and start kissing......

It is a hazy depiction of childhood love, so children often shout "who sits on the tree with whom" when they are heckling, which means that the two are in love.

Tony, of course, didn't fail to understand the meaning, glancing at his girlfriend, who was almost rolling on the couch with a smile, and reached out to pick up the doll to find the button to close.

However, the still puppet seemed to come to life, a short body, lightly dodging Tony's grasp, and pulled out two pistols inserted in his waist.

In the light and happy song of "Tony and Husky Sitting in a Tree", the puppet "breaks free" from the shackles of gravity and shoots at Tony frantically in the air with various difficulty twists.

"Ahh

"Oh-"

"Damn—"

"You're done, little bastard—"

The gun was not bullets, but water.

Tony's arms swaying back and forth didn't do anything, and with his exclamations and exasperation, his body was doused by the doll that looked like him.

After the water is shot, the puppet retracts the gun and lands in a very handsome position, resuming its standing posture before activation.

The pitch of the music also gradually decreases until it disappears completely.

When it was all over, the sense of vividness faded from the puppet's body, and it regained its lifelike appearance, which was instantly recognizable as a dead thing.

"It's over?"

Trying to calm down, Pepper Potts asks a question that draws angry eyes from her boyfriend.

"Hmm," Evan nodded, took the doll and placed it flat on the table, "Every time you use it, you need to complete the water storage before you can work again." ”

"Storing water?"

It was Pepper who was asking, and Tony, though he was a little curious, would never have spoken, and he now hated the doll only as much as a little bastard.

"Yes, it stores water by absorbing water vapor from the air, and when there is enough water inside, it can be unlocked through the iris and used again. ”

Saying this, Evan glanced up at Tony, who was wiping the water stains on his face, and continued: "Of course, if you can't wait, you can also speed up the process. ”

As he spoke, Evan reached out and picked up the kettle next to him and poured it on the doll.

The water stains disappeared at a rate visible to the naked eye, and in a few breaths, the puppet and the tabletop around it returned to their usual dryness.

"There's no need to do this, you can put a wet rag on top of it, which will dry the cloth instantly and replenish the doll's water storage without wasting water. ”

Evan patiently introduced the use of the technique, and Pepper nodded busily, as if he had learned some tricks in life.

Tony Stark saw his girlfriend's troubled appearance, and he was so angry that he wanted to let her sleep with the doll in her arms in the future, the water is going to pour on my face, and you use it to dry the rag?

However, the two people on the other side ignored his mood and continued to discuss the use of the dolls.

"This is the temperature adjustment button," Ivan said, pointing to the bullet bag-shaped button on the doll's back, "If Tony thinks the water is cold, it can be used to heat it, up to forty-five degrees." ”

"Should I thank you for not trying to disfigure me?"

Tony Stark scoffed.

Again, there was no response, and as Ivan pressed another button, a transparent chip the size of a small fingernail's fingernail was ejected.

"This is a chip used to store and correct the trajectory of the shot," Evan said with great interest about his latest development: "It stores a huge amount of traditional Chinese medicine knowledge, which can adjust the shooting direction according to Tony's facial expressions in time, stimulate specific acupuncture points, and effectively prevent him from facial paralysis." ”

"Can this thing prevent a cerebral hemorrhage?"

Tony asked angrily, still facial paralysis, I am now so angry that my facial muscles are trembling, and my facial nerves are very active!
