Wanjie Hotel: Iron Man is not allowed to charge

Chapter 97 Tony's Birthday Gift (Please subscribe first, please give me a monthly ticket)
Hearing Wen Ming's surprise and praise, Tony's chin lifted even higher. "It's just a small robot. It didn't take long at all. In fact, I've almost finished the T600."

Sitting in the trunk was a silver tracked robot about 1 meter tall.

It is the first generation Terminator that appeared in "Terminator 3".

T1.

To be precise, it cannot be called a Terminator, it can only be said to be the predecessor of the Terminator.

When Wen Ming saw the two six-barreled machine guns equipped on T1's arms, he felt the hairs on his back stand up.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this guy looks like a fool, but he is definitely a deadly weapon.

"So, you haven't slept for two days again?"

After being shocked for more than ten seconds, Wen Ming suddenly asked.

Tony was stunned. He had been very proud to see Wen Ming's face full of surprise, and thought that this time he would definitely be able to broaden the horizons of Wen Ming, the mysterious owner of the Metaverse Flatiron Hotel. Who knew that the other party actually cared about whether he slept or not?

No, isn't your concern a little strange?
Shouldn't you try out the power of this T1 first?

I stayed up all night to make this!
Even though there are blueprints, I still added a lot of epoch-making designs to it.

This T1 is more than ten times more powerful and intelligent than the iron lump in the movie, so it is no problem for it to take on an elite team alone.

I say it's a work in progress only because I don't think it's a top-tier robot yet.

Do you really think I'm being modest?
If I give this to the military, they will definitely be begging me for orders.

You only care about whether I sleep or not?
You are really, really, so...

Tony suddenly found himself unsure whether he should complain about this bastard's lack of appreciation.

Sure enough, I am not suitable to deal with such mortals.

I hate this feeling.

A trace of emotion and helplessness flashed across Pepper's face.

She had heard Tony talk about Wen Ming before. Even if Tony didn't go into details, she could tell that the hotel owner was very concerned about Tony's health, and Tony cared about the hotel owner very much.

It doesn't matter what the other person's wealth is or what their products are.

But I care about him as a person.

This can be seen from the fact that he gave up drinking before going to bed.

Now that she personally felt Wen Ming's heartfelt care, she developed a great liking for him, and at the same time she also felt like she had found a soulmate.

This Tony is really hard to take care of.

Wen Ming turned to look at Tony, then shook his head and said, "Tony, I can't accept this birthday present unless you go to your room and have some sleep right now, immediately."

Tony opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the words were stuck in his throat and he didn't know how to say it.

The usually sharp-tongued little guy suddenly found himself like a child in front of Wen Ming, not knowing how to refute at all.

He even felt that it would be a very wrong decision if he refuted the other party.

He really didn't like this feeling, but he didn't want to destroy it.

Wen Ming turned to look at Pepper and said, "Pepper, if Tony dies suddenly one day and you lose your job, or if you are unhappy at Stark Industries, the Flatiron Hotel is always open to you."

"That's really nice."

Pepper showed a happy smile on her face, and Tony's face immediately turned the color of liver: "Wen Ming, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do tonight. I want to go back with Pepper."

"Well, please, leave Miss Pepper to me."

Wen Ming had a happy smile on his face: "It's just right, there will be one less person to eat the dumplings I made tonight. You know, there's a big eater coming tonight, and I was worried that there wouldn't be enough dumplings."

"Dumplings? You can make dumplings?"

A look of surprise crossed Tony's face.

"There are two kinds of fillings: pork and beef."

Wen Ming said casually, "Pepper, what kind of filling do you like?"

Pepper's face was full of surprise: "It's filled with beef! I like beef!

Wen Ming, you are really awesome. I really envy your girlfriend. I have never eaten a meal cooked by a man in my life.

I'm talking about men other than chefs, you know what I mean?"

Tony seemed to have not heard what Pepper said, and walked towards Wen Ming's private elevator. "Hai Hou, open the elevator. I want to meet the girl who can make a time machine. Is she here?"

"She's already here, Mr. Stark."

The Queen's voice echoed in the elevator: "Welcome, Miss Potts. I think you will like the boss's cooking."

A happy smile appeared on Pepper Potts' face: "I'm looking forward to it."

Wen Ming spat lightly.

Pooh.

Have I become part of your play?
Despite the scolding, Wen Ming still said loudly: "Tony, I told you that if you don't sleep, I won't accept your birthday present."

"I'll just take this sample back and sell it to those stupid military officials."

Tony waved his hands, looking nonchalant, but Pepper, who knew him well, could see that Tony was walking very fast.

This is a sign of his defense being broken.

A happy smile appeared on Pepper's lips: "Thank you, Wen Ming, I believe Tony will go back and have a good rest after dinner."

"Okay, remember to keep an eye on him. I believe he will be willing to listen to you."

Wen Ming sent Pepper to the elevator. Tony was already impatient waiting. Just as he was about to speak, Wen Ming stood outside the elevator and looked at him seriously.

"Tony, can I ask you a favor?"

Tony's mouth curled up slightly. He finally waited until you begged him: "Tell me, I can't promise that I will help you."

"It's very simple."

"You said."

"Could you please shut up for a moment?"

"Fuck you! You don't even want that T-1 anymore!"

"I didn't want it in the first place. Who knows if the product you made after staying up all night might be defective."

"Very good, you succeeded in irritating me!"

……

Ten minutes later, Wen Ming finally waited for his security supervisor to return to the underground garage.

John, looking exhausted, got out of the SUV with a strong smell of gunpowder. He first hugged Wen Ming, then hugged Helen who was running towards him and kissed her passionately.

Wen Ming looked closely at John's bulletproof suit, which was covered with small bullet holes.

This time when he returned, it seemed that the fight between him and Santino was very fierce, and it was unknown whether he captured the other alive.

But now is not the time to talk about this. I just hope John can come back alive.

He took the elevator upstairs with the two of them. John and Helen went back to their room to change clothes, while Wen Ming went directly to the top floor.

The elevator door opened and everyone present turned their eyes over.

Wen Ming smiled widely and said, "Thank you all for coming to my birthday party."

"Happy birthday!"

Everyone raised their cups, and Xiao Wukong, in Arthur's arms, raised a glass of juice: "Wen Ming, happy birthday!"

"Thank you everyone, thank you little Wukong!
Everyone, eat and drink well, and drink and eat well."

Wen Ming did not speak much, but walked in front of everyone and communicated with all the time travelers one by one.

"Hello, Miss Crawford."

Among these people, Laura was a complete newcomer, and Wen Ming came to her first.

"Hello, Mr. Wen, I already know some of the situation."

Laura's face was filled with surprise, but more of excitement.

A natural adventurer, she is not very opposed to the fact that she comes from a movie or game universe. On the contrary, she is more eager to explore the secrets of the origin of this world.

Who is the main universe?

Could it be that the universes these time travelers come from are all parallel timelines of this metaverse?

Is there a mysterious force at the core of this metaverse that controls everything?
Or is it the hotel that is in control of all this?
These mysteries and unknowns made Laura tremble with excitement. She looked at Wen Ming, the mysterious hotel owner, and just wanted to have a good and in-depth discussion with him. But she also knew that tonight was not a suitable time, so she raised her glass politely: "Let's find some time tomorrow to chat."

"Okay, I hope you enjoy tonight."

Wen Ming turned and walked towards Natasha and Ada Wang.

These two super agents seem to be natural enemies. When they stand together, they don't like each other, but they just can't separate.

When Wen Ming walked over, he heard Natasha teasing Ada Wang: "Isn't zombie saliva disgusting? Do you want me to get you some disinfectant wipes?"

"Thank you, I'm more concerned about whether you'll be screaming fake noises the whole time without that organ.

Well, at your age, you may not have done it yet. No wonder you always want to try it with Wen Ming.

Wasn't this part included in your training?
There should be, right?

I heard that some organizations will make you covered in masculinity on graduation night."

Aunt Wang was in full swing tonight, teasing Black Widow without losing out at all.

Wen Ming felt overwhelmed. He lifted his left foot, made an urgent 90-degree turn in the air, and then turned towards Bruce.

"Mr. Wayne, have you had any porridge?"

"Thank you, I already drank it."

Bruce Wayne didn't know whether he should be wary of the kind-hearted man in front of him, because since the first time he ate Wen Ming's free food, everyone he met had praised Wen Ming as a good person.

For someone who came from Gotham, the city of sin, this was simply unimaginable.

He even suspected that the other party was a hypocrite.

All Wen Ming did was to disguise his shady dealings in secret.

Because he had seen too many evil people like this along the way.

“Don’t eat too much tonight, and try to drink less alcohol, otherwise it will be bad for your stomach.

You need to recover slowly.

I'll give you an explanation tomorrow, so how about making some friends tonight?"

Wen Ming looked at the clown who was having fun with Little Wukong, and felt that if this scene was painted, it would definitely become a famous painting.

It really is too discordant.

Huh?
Maybe the innocent little Goku can really heal the clown.

You know, little Goku is purer than you.

……

"Dragon Ball" tells the story of Bulma, the daughter of the world's richest man, who, after hearing the legend that seven dragon balls can summon a dragon to fulfill wishes, embarks on a journey to find the legendary dragon balls. In the process, she meets Son Goku, a martial arts master who has lived in the mountains since childhood, which leads to a series of subsequent stories.

The early stages of "Dragon Ball" were all about adventures and funny stories, but in the middle and late stages, it began to become about passion, friendship, and battles.

The only thing that remains unchanged is probably Sun Wukong's sincere and pure heart.

Even if the world is about to be destroyed, even if close friends and relatives die in front of you.

He has never changed.

Now that Little Goku can make Arthur, who is on the verge of a mental breakdown, smile the happiest smile, Wen Ming feels happier than getting gold from Arthur's world.

Well, it would have been even happier if Arthur had converted all the money he later robbed from the bank in The Dark Knight into gold for himself.

"Wen Ming, is this the pork elbow you made? It's delicious."

Seeing Wen Ming, little Wukong laughed and raised a big elbow, waving at him in Arthur's arms.

Bulma, who was standing by, felt so embarrassed. She reminded him, "Goku, say thank you!"

"Thank you, thank you Wen Ming, it's delicious! I had a great time eating today. I haven't been able to eat enough after following Bulma for so many days."

Little Goku's face was covered in grease as he ate, and he didn't notice that Bulma had turned red.

I will endure!

I want to bear it!
I can't be unladylike in front of the handsome guy Wen Ming!

I am the daughter of the world's richest man, not a violent girl!
"If you like it, eat more. I'll make you some more when you leave."

Seeing the happy little Wukong, Wen Ming felt even better and didn't have any thoughts of trying to steal anything from him.

No wonder Arthur was infected and his face was full of smiles.

Who can resist this happy guy?

I really hope he can stay forever in the happy days before the World Martial Arts Tournament.

"Really? Wen Ming, you're so kind. I won't go looking for Dragon Ball anymore. I'll just stay here with you!"

Little Wukong looked at Wen Ming with great surprise, feeling as if he had arrived in heaven.
Wen Ming is such a good person.

He is actually willing to share so many delicious foods with me. In the future, I will also share all the good things with Wen Ming.

Bulma was furious.

This poor kid, whoever gives him milk is his mother.

During this period of time, I have been the father, mother and sister to you. I have served you food and drink, cooked for you, bathed you, wiped your butt and said sorry to everyone. And you just abandoned me like this?
Do you have a conscience?

Just when Bulma was about to break down, Wen Ming smiled and said, "You will grow stronger very slowly here with me. Don't you want to see more powerful martial artists?"

"Yeah, yeah, I want to practice! Grandpa told me to keep getting stronger!"

Speaking of training, little Wukong immediately stopped thinking about staying.

This is a desire that comes from his blood.

Nothing can stop it. Wen Ming looked at Bulma again: "Thank you for your hard work, Bulma. Goku has never entered the city before. It must have caused you a lot of trouble, right?"

"No no."

Hearing Wen Ming's gentle concern for her, Bulma felt her eyes were about to turn into hearts: "It's not that troublesome, actually. I still like taking care of children."

This boss is so gentle.

No, I won’t go looking for Dragon Ball anymore.

After finding the Dragon Ball, didn’t I just want to make a wish to the dragon and find a prince charming?

The person in front of me is tall, handsome, gentle, and can cook so many delicious dishes.

He is simply the Prince Charming in my dreams!

"Actually, I don't want to leave either."

Girls from the Sakura Country have almost no immunity to tall men, and in many cases it is even negative.

As long as the boy is tall enough, many girls in the Sakura Country are even willing to pay for him.

Bulma looked up at the tall and handsome Wen Ming and felt that Dragon Ball and other things were no longer important.

My wish has come true!

Or rather, the dragon must have known my wish and fulfilled it for me in advance!
Praise the dragon!

"Are you the girl who can invent a time machine?"

Just when Bulma was being infatuated, an impolite voice came, and Bulma looked at the person in confusion.

Well, so ugly, much worse than my Wen Ming. Let’s continue looking at handsome guys.

"Wen Ming, you are not lying to me, are you?"

Tony looked at the other person with an infatuated look and couldn't help but wonder if Wen Ming was deliberately teasing him.

This guy has a criminal record.

How many times have you played tricks on yourself?

Did he want me to take this girl as my apprentice and let me use my intelligence and talent to teach this little nymphomaniac?

I'm not that stupid.

"You can look at it with them tomorrow morning."

Wen Ming made a gesture.

Tony shrugged, picked up his glass, and walked towards Natasha, Ada Wang, and Laura.

These three girls all look pretty good.

Wen Ming finally did something that made me happy tonight.

Pepper, who was sitting next to Sarah and chatting, glanced at Tony's back, her eyes dimmed slightly. Sarah glanced at him and complained: "Sister, I advise you, if you want to find a boyfriend, find someone like Wen Ming.

It feels safe and reliable.

I know Tony loves you very much, but he doesn't know how to cherish you."

"Ah, what are you talking about? I'm just Tony's assistant."

Pepper's face turned slightly red, and she flatly denied that she was Tony's girlfriend, even though she had seen the movie and knew that she would give birth to a daughter for Tony in the future.

"as long as you are happy."

Sarah couldn't help but complain when she saw the other person trying to cover up his mistake.

Most of the people here have seen your movie!
How long are you two going to drag this out?

At this moment, Wen Ming looked at Arthur, who had been holding Little Wukong, and said, "How is it, are you ready?"

Arthur nodded sharply and said, "I feel like I'm in top form!"

"Then come on stage and give a performance. I'm looking forward to your debut."

Wen Ming clapped his hands and looked at the crowd: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am honored to have Mr. Arthur Fleck perform a talk show for my birthday party tonight. I hope everyone can give Mr. Arthur a round of applause."

All the time travelers present raised their glasses politely. Little Wukong raised the juice in his hand and shouted, "Come on, Arthur!"

Arthur bowed to everyone excitedly, then walked to the center of the terrace. He looked at everyone present and took a deep breath.

This is what my boss taught me.

Can't get excited.

Can't get excited.

There's no way I can mess up my boss's birthday dinner.

"I have a friend named Smith who went to the bank to apply for a mortgage. After the application was completed, the bank clerk told him that he would have to pay it off in ten years.

Smith asked: 'Will it be morning or afternoon ten years from now?'

The salesperson looked up at him and asked, "Will there be any difference between morning and afternoon ten years from now?"

Smith said helplessly..."

Arthur told the first joke with great emotion. When he was about to tell the last joke, he couldn't hold back his laughter any longer.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything more. He was about to burst into laughter when a thick hand gently patted Arthur's back and asked, "What did Smith say?"

Arthur felt that his laughter suddenly stopped, and he subconsciously threw out the burden he had carried countless times: "I have to pay back my student loan in the morning."

"Hahaha! It's so funny!"

Little Goku in the audience was the first to laugh out loud: "Bulma, what is a student loan?"

Everyone at the scene burst into laughter.

Well, you're funnier than Arthur's jokes.

Arthur's nervous mood completely relaxed at this moment. He first looked at Wen Ming beside him and said "Thank you, boss", then bent down and stretched out his hand to bump fists with Xiao Wukong.

Little Wukong had just learned this gesture, and he reached out with a smile and gently touched Arthur's hand.

Well, don't use too much force.

It will knock people away.

……

"Tsk, this joke is..."

"Tony, you promised Wen Ming."

Pepper tugged at Tony's sleeve, curled her lips, lowered her head to take a sip of wine, and then looked at Ada Wong beside her: "I have an even funnier joke, do you want to hear it?"

"No, I'd rather hear Wen Ming tell jokes."

Ada Wang rejected the playboy mercilessly.

Tony suddenly felt his face turn pale.

I actually lost to Wen Ming?

How is Wen Ming better than me?

Just as he was thinking about how to save face, Natasha giggled beside him, and her shaking body immediately attracted Tony's attention.

This size is very big.

Tony's lips curled up: "I think the light show over there is pretty good, do you want to go see it together?"

"No, don't bother me while I listen to Wen Ming and Arthur telling jokes."

Natasha already knew that Tony would be her future comrade-in-arms, but she rejected him without hesitation.

Tony was furious. Why did he keep banging his head against the wall tonight?

He looked at Laura, who was clapping and smiling politely at the moment because Wen Ming had finished telling the second joke with Arthur.

Tony touched his nose, picked up his wine glass and stood aside without saying anything.

He finally realized that in this hotel, since no one knew his super-rich identity, his self-proclaimed superb skills in picking up girls seemed to have lost all their effect.

Ok?
It's very likely that they have also seen their own information.

Then why don’t they want to talk to me more?
Are you shy?
Just then, a voice suddenly sounded: "Tony."

Tony turned his head and immediately saw Maya Hansen standing behind him.

Seeing this beautiful scientist, Tony smiled happily: "Maya, how are you doing recently?"

"Very good. Thank you for writing the equation for me. It would be even better if you could help me perfect it 100%."

Maya Hansen was different from Ada Wong, Natasha, and Laura. As soon as she came over, she clung to Tony's arm, and Tony found his confidence again.

He glanced at Ada and the other two girls casually, only to see that they were all staring at Wen Ming and Arthur on the stage, clapping and smiling from time to time.

He was so angry that he put his arm around Maya Hansen's shoulders and said loudly: "Don't worry, it's just a desperate virus. I can definitely help you cure it."

Maya opened her mouth wide with joy, there was hope for her desperate virus.

My dream is finally coming true.

Ada Wong and Natasha on the side glanced at Tony almost at the same time.

Desperate Virus?

It sounds awesome, what is that?
Tony noticed that the two people's attention was attracted, and happily picked up a glass of wine and started drinking again.

Haha, Wen Ming.

See? It’s easy.

When I pick up girls, it never takes more than 30 seconds.

……

Bulma sat next to Goku and listened to the jokes on the stage.

Maybe it was due to cultural differences, she didn't find it particularly funny, but she still smiled politely.

What she cared about more was how amazing Wen Ming was.

Make a precise move every time.

It's a pity that this one doesn't work very well, otherwise it would definitely be a qualified manzai combination.

How to do?
I like this hotel owner more and more. He is so warm and can tell jokes.

I don't want to look for Dragon Ball anymore.

I want to stay in this hotel, I want to get a presidential suite and live there forever.

The infatuated Bulma held her chin with both hands, her eyes full of peach-shaped hearts.

Little Wukong laughed heartily as he devoured the various pork elbows and lamb legs that Wen Ming had carefully prepared for him.

He didn't understand some of the jokes at all, but he thought it was funny to see Arthur and Wen Ming standing together.

He had never seen this kind of performance before and felt that anyone who could tell jokes must be very talented.

I must learn how to tell jokes from Arthur.

I'll try performing it for other people later.

……

Bruce sat in the corner, grilling sausages by himself. He wanted to pick up the wine glass and drink some wine, but remembering Wen Ming's instructions, he finally chose to drink juice instead.

This Arthur is really good.

These jokes are very close to life.

Perhaps I should pay more attention to what these ordinary people at the bottom care about most, rather than just criminals.

Well, I'll talk to Arthur later.

He seems nice enough, maybe we could make friends.

……

Malena and Sarah sat together, the two who had returned to the world and Helen who had bravely faced cancer, leaning against each other and listening to Arthur's jokes.

It doesn’t matter to them whether it’s funny or not. At this moment, they feel the beauty of life.

It's nice to be alive.

All this is thanks to Wen Ming.

If he hadn't provided so much help to everyone, I guess everyone would have ended up with a tragic ending like in the movie, right?
Wen Ming is such a good person.

……

Arthur became more and more excited as he spoke on the stage. He had thought that the laughter that was about to burst out would make his debut performance tonight a complete failure, but with the cooperation of his boss, he was able to relax and stop his uncontrollable laughter, and successfully finished his first joke.

One joke after another went on, and every time at the critical moment, Wen Ming was always able to act as a supporting role at the right time. In addition, there was a natural supporting role, Xiao Wukong, in the audience. Arthur felt an unprecedented confidence emanating from his heart.

The boss is right.

I can really be a talk show master.

Joy was constantly spreading, and everyone at the scene had a different smile on their face.

The summer night wind, with the gradually fading heat, continued to blow on everyone present, taking away everyone's different sorrows and bringing happy times.

At this moment, there are no billionaires, no clowns in the slums, no comic book world, movie world, or game universe.

Everyone has become a part of the Metaverse Flatiron Hotel.

Everyone is enjoying the beauty of life at this moment.

However, just as Arthur was dancing and preparing to tell the next joke, Wen Ming, who was standing beside him, suddenly threw him to the ground.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Perkins, gun! Throw the gun over here!"

Some people have suggested that the monthly ticket lottery gifts should be "John Wick" peripheral gold coins or physical monthly tickets. The meaning is also very good. What do you think?
