Chapter 81: First Contact with Iron Man
In order to be able to completely heal Tony Stark's injury, Ethan can be described as painstaking.
After staying in the New York Temple for more than half a month, he had only slightly determined his treatment plan, and then repeated arguments and making matching potions, and after all this, he had been staying in this place for a month.
During this time, Arthur even had a complete grasp of car driving and traffic rules, driving freely through New York, and he also found several 'evacuation' routes, so that everyone could evacuate in time when there was a sudden battle.
"So, you pretty much have a good grasp of the road conditions in New York?"
"Probably. ”
Ethan nodded and took out an address: "This place knows, right?"
Arthur just glanced at it and nodded: "This place seems to be going on with some kind of activity." ”
"Yes, the industrial fair organized by Stark Group. ”
It was with this news that Ethan got out of the experiment. There are still some details of his treatment plan that have not been completely resolved, but there is no time for him to stay at home, and when he sees the information that the expo is about to take place, he knows that the plot of Iron Man 2 is about to begin.
This is the period when Tony Stark fell from the peak to the trough of his life, and this is the most convenient time to get close to this famous tycoon, playboy, great inventor and philanthropist.
Because this Tony Stark is not an amiable person, he is arrogant, arrogant, poisonous, and has a bad attitude towards ordinary people, and in many ways this thing is not a suitable person to be a friend.
Of course, people have character flaws, and Tony Stark is still very reliable in big things, and he has a bottom line as a person, which is why Ethan is willing to help him.
"Are we going here?"
"Yes, wait until the fair officially opens. ”
At the opening, Tony Stark will be on the spot, and only that time will be more accessible.
Of course, if Ethan is willing to use some means, it is not difficult to break into Stark's house, but then it is easy to leave a very bad first impression, so this method is used by him as an alternative.
After making a plan, Ethan kept an eye on the time and perfected his treatment plan, and the time soon came to the opening day of the fair.
Ethan and Arthur came to the expo site early, and then watched Iron Man's very high-profile appearance ceremony throughout the whole process.
"This is the person we want to reach?"
Arthur already knew about Ethan's plans, and he knew a little bit about Tony Stark, mostly through newspapers and the Internet.
"Yes, that's him. ”
"I don't really like this guy. ”
In Arthur's opinion, he doesn't appreciate people like Tony Stark.
"It's okay, I don't really like him either. ”
When I watched the movie, I thought Iron Man was very interesting, he looked very relieved at all kinds of cynicism about the enemy, but if he came into contact with such a person in the real world, he was likely to be angry and vomit blood - this guy's cynicism was not all aimed at the enemy.
How many times Tony's good brother James Rod has been cheated by him can know that to be a friend of Iron Man, you must have a tough enough heart, otherwise it is likely that one day you will not be able to control yourself and directly chop him to death.
"We're not here to make friends with him anyway. ”
Arthur nodded, as the heir to the throne, he didn't like the current life under the fence. He wanted to earn some money with his own hands, but he didn't have much life skills other than fighting, and there was nothing inside the New York Temple that needed his help.
"Okay, he's off the stage, let's go up and say hello first. ”
Tony Stark didn't stay on stage for long, he just showed his face at the opening ceremony, gave a speech, and then he went about his business.
The only trouble is that Tony Stark will be guarded by security guards throughout the whole process, and the most loosely protected should be before he walks outside the fair venue and prepares to drive away.
Recalling the details of this memory, Ethan remembers that even around his car, there was a circle of security guards who cleared a safe distance, and the only woman who appeared next to the car was the sheriff in charge of issuing summons to Tony.
"So, how do we get close to him?"
Ethan was also having a headache before, if it was in the plot of Iron Man 1, it would undoubtedly be much more convenient to meet Tony, but now......
"It was a mistake. ”
Ethan only thought that the expo site was chaotic and that it might be easier to get closer to Tony Stark, but ignored that he would definitely be surrounded by security guards in such a situation, which would cut him off. Even if he successfully came to Stark, he would not be able to win the trust of the other party in a short time.
"I should have found a quieter time to talk. ”
"So what?"
"So the plan may need some adjustments.
Ethan quietly waited for his chance, and then when Tony Stark finally appeared in front of the crowd, interacting cordially with his fans and preparing to leave, he leaned in, and then left a message on him while he was in the chaos. Ethan then withdrew, without attracting anyone's attention.
Watching Tony drive the sports car in the direction of Washington, Ethan knew that the next step should be that wonderful talk show, and then Tony should go back to his home lab for two days, and he was going to pay a direct visit.
"Actually, we don't necessarily have to look for him, do we?"
"yes!"
"Then why do you have to go?"
Arthur thought it was strange and didn't understand why Ethan had to go to the man.
Ethan touched his chin, in fact, he didn't quite understand, maybe he just wanted to participate in the plot?
"Maybe it's just looking for something? Don't you find it boring to be in such a daze every day?"
The daily cultivation has never stopped, Ethan will continue to expand his knowledge, and the collection of books in the New York Temple is also open to Ethan, and he can consult it freely.
During this time, he not only perfected the method of healing Tony Stark's chest, but also crafted a new main weapon - although it was done with the help of the Ancient One, the main concept was still designed by himself.
At present, the prototype test of this weapon has been made and is undergoing final testing, and Arthur has been a sparring partner for Ethan during this time, just to test the strength of this weapon.
Overall, the strength is good, and it's easy to use, but there are a few minor issues that need to be tweaked, and once that is solved, Ethan will have a powerful weapon to use.
Maybe it was because the depressed days had passed for too long that he wanted to find something to do. There may be another reason, and that is that he wants to study the Ark reactor up close, to see if he can use the energy it creates.
After waiting for two more days, Ethan deliberately left a message for Tony Stark today. In order to leave a deeper impression and win the trust of Tony Stark, Ethan specially asked the Ancient One Master for help.
The mages of Kama Taj are very old-fashioned, and through this period of contact, Ethan can be sure that Master Daniel will not help him. Comparatively speaking, the oldest 'antique' of the Ancient One, on the contrary, was the most enlightened, and agreed to Ethan's request to help him open a portal directly to Tony Stark's home.
"I hope you don't tell other mages about today. This kind of thing can be big or small, but it's really not suitable for preaching everywhere, and Ethan certainly won't go around telling people. However, he kept this favor firmly in his heart, and even if Gu Yi didn't ask him for help, he also thought about how to solve Gu Yi's troubles.
This time, Arthur did not go along, but went to Kama Taj with the Ancient One to see how the masters cultivated.
As soon as Ethan stepped through the portal, he heard a shrill alarm in the room, and countless laser red dots pointed at several key points on his body.
Spreading his free hands slightly, Ethan said to the empty room that he had no ill will: "Take the liberty of visiting, Mr. Tony Stark, I think you should have read my message." ”
A figure stepped out of the darkness, the lights of the otherwise dimly lit room, and Ethan noticed that Tony had put on his steel armor and was fully armed to greet him.
"I'm sorry for this rude way of visiting, but I really couldn't have a better choice. ”
Perhaps because Ethan didn't act aggressively enough to make him feel like he could talk, Tony unsheathed the armor's mask to reveal his true face.
"Young man, if you want to meet with me, you can go to Stark Group to make an appointment instead of choosing to break into my home directly. ”
"Mr. Stark, if that's not the case, do you think I can make an appointment to speak with you face-to-face through the normal channels?"
Tony Stark paused, of course he knew that the real situation was that Ethan would never be able to make an appointment in his life, but he didn't want to admit that Ethan's words made sense. It's just that the way this young man left messages before, and the way he appeared today, made him very concerned.
How did that thing, which is an ordinary stone, release a hologram message? How did Ethan appear directly in his home? Is that aperture-like thing some new teleportation technology? Isn't this young man a super genius, finding himself in this way, does he want to invest in his own new technology?
"Well, young man, tell me what you are here for, and if you don't satisfy me, I'm afraid you're in big trouble. Tony Stark, a scientist, couldn't resist the temptation of these unknown technologies, so he decided to talk to Ethan.
"I'm here to make a deal with you. Ethan didn't play dumb riddles, and pointed to the extremely conspicuous reactor on Tony's chest: "I have a way to remove the toxins from your body, lest you be killed by your own invention." ”
Tony Stark's face changed slightly, he didn't believe it when he heard something, palladium poisoning is something that anyone in the know can detect. However, thinking of Ethan's message and the way he appeared, he had to pay attention to the other party's words.
"How do you prove you can do that?"
