……

Gwen's pink girly room.

The phone kept ringing.

After receiving the skill from the frog.

In the depths of Yu Mu's eyes, the storm that was powerful enough to devour the soul had just subsided.

He thought to himself, "Fate is indeed a bastard who loves to play jokes."

It always pulls the rug out from under your feet just when you think you have everything under control, letting you see your true self.

The identity of the "Holy Child" of the Hydra Magic Branch is truly intriguing!

Beside this absurd memory, a magical rune shimmering with a dark light floats silently.

[Super Magic - Skyfall].

This is a gift from the supreme being of another world, an ultimate trump card capable of overturning the chessboard.

Strength is always the best tranquilizer.

Yu Mu snapped out of his thoughts and refocused his attention on reality.

He picked up his phone, and the name "Tony Stark" flashed on the screen.

"Feed?"

"I did it! Yu Mu! I did it!"

Tony's extremely excited voice came from the other end of the phone, interspersed with Jarvis's calm system notifications in the background, like a wild symphony dedicated to science.

"A perfect work of art, a technological barrier that is absolutely impossible to crack! Your company can open now, immediately, right now!"

"Come and see for yourself, and you'll understand everything!"

After saying that, Tony didn't even wait for Mu to reply before hurriedly hanging up the phone.

This guy...

Yu Mu shook his head upon hearing the noise coming from the other end of the phone.

He should go and see for himself.

"Yu Mu..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Mu looked towards the bedside and quietly gazed at Gwen. The ocean of memories in his heart, which had just been baptized by blood and fire, was now unexpectedly calm.

He could clearly sense the girl's heartfelt worry and relief at that moment, an emotion devoid of any impurities.

He thought that perhaps true wealth is not power or strength, but finding a warm light that always shines for you in this cold universe.

He reached out and gently patted Gwen's head, the gesture was incredibly tender.

"I'm fine now."

His voice was soft, yet it carried a reassuring power.

Gwen's cheeks flushed slightly; she could sense that Yu Mu seemed different after waking up.

Those eyes were still deep, but they held an indescribable sense of vicissitude, as if they had witnessed a thousand years of scenery overnight.

Just then, the bedroom door was gently pushed open.

Chief George Stacy walked in cautiously, carrying a tray, his face showing the awkwardness and clumsy concern of a middle-aged man.

When he saw that Yu Mu had woken up and was looking at him with a half-smile, the police chief, who was used to big scenes, instantly turned red.

"Ahem... Well, young man, it's good that you're awake." George placed a tray on the bedside table with warm milk and a sandwich on it. "Yesterday... was a misunderstanding."

He still can't understand how he could have "scared" someone into fainting simply by fulfilling his sacred duty as an old father.

"Oh? A misunderstanding?" Yu Mu raised an eyebrow. He slowly sat up, the sheets sliding down his perfect muscle lines to reveal his muscular upper body.

He looked at George, a hint of amusement in his smile: "I think the Director's welcoming ceremony was quite unique and very warm."

George's forehead began to sweat.

He couldn't read any resentment or anger in Yu Mu's eyes, only a... condescending scrutiny. It was as if he wasn't a police chief with power, but a clumsy clown performing on stage, whose tricks were all seen through by the audience.

This feeling made him extremely uncomfortable; a pressure originating from a life-level perspective made his hand holding the gun feel powerless.

"Dad!" Gwen was both embarrassed and angry, and glared at George fiercely.

"Alright, Gwen." Yu Mu took her hand, and the warmth of his palm instantly put the girl at ease.

He turned to George, his tone becoming flat, yet more authoritative: "Chief, I understand a father's feelings. But you must understand, there are some worlds that you can't reach with a gun. And Gwen, she's destined to see a starry sky far wider than the neon lights of New York."

He paused, the smile on his lips deepening.

"And I'm the one who takes her to see the stars. You can't stop her."

These words struck George's heart like an invisible hammer. He opened his mouth, but found himself unable to utter a single word. His pride, experience, and imposing presence seemed as fragile as a sheet of paper in the face of this young man.

In the end, he could only nod awkwardly and flee.

Watching her father's retreating figure, Gwen felt a mix of emotions. She felt reassured by Yu Mu's assertiveness, yet she also vaguely sensed that the ordinary, peaceful world she and her father lived in was being ruthlessly torn open by Yu Mu, creating a huge rift.

But she doesn't regret it.

Because she knew that one cannot step into the same river twice, nor could one return to the ignorant and safe past. What she chose was the vast and unknown sea of ​​stars ahead.

"I have to go, Tony's getting impatient." Yu Mu pinched her cheek, his smile returning to its usual gentleness.

"Hmm..." Gwen nodded reluctantly, then asked worriedly, "Are you really alright?"

"Don't worry." Yu Mu stood up, a black ring gleaming on his fingertip. "The world is vast, and there are many troubles, but I am the end of all troubles."

Before he could finish speaking...

His figure had vanished from the spot, leaving only a faint ripple in the space.

……

Stark Tower, top-floor laboratory.

Yu Mu's figure appeared out of thin air.

"You're finally here! Come see my masterpiece!"

Tony Stark, like a child who had received a new toy, dragged Yu Mu to a huge holographic projection.

In the center of the projection, a mechanical object the size of a palm floats.

Its streamlined shape and perfect combination of matte black and bright silver shell give it both the precision of ancient mechanical devices and the cool and futuristic feel of technology.

Its shape resembles a cheetah poised to pounce, with blue energy lines exposed at the joints of its limbs and a pair of electronic eyes that gleam with agile light.

"I've named it the modern version of 'Breaking Ground Seven,'" Tony boasted proudly. "Look at the design, the quality! The core is Stark Industries' most advanced Arc Reactor miniaturized technology, with a unique AI soul co-written by Jarvis and your Red Queen—no one can crack or replicate it!"

A hint of approval flashed in Yu Mu's eyes.

It must be admitted that Tony's talent in creating "toys" is unmatched.

He perfectly integrated his classically elegant outline of mechanical arts with the cutting-edge technology of the era.

"It shouldn't be called 'Breaking Ground Seventh Brother'," Yu Mu said slowly after a moment of contemplation. "It's a completely new species, a partner for the future. I've decided to name it—"

"Mech Pet"

Tony pondered the name, his eyes growing brighter and brighter: "Great name! Cool! So cool!"

"That's not all." Tony snapped his fingers.

The laboratory lights dimmed instantly, and the surrounding environment transformed into a vast primeval jungle amidst the shifting light and shadow.

"Put this on." Tony handed over a thin neural access device.

As soon as Yu Mu put on the device, the scene before him instantly became incredibly real.

He could feel the wind brushing against his cheeks and smell the fragrance of earth and grass.

The "mecha pet" enlarged before him, transforming into a colossal creature indistinguishable from a real leopard, emitting a deep roar filled with metallic texture and wild power.

"Welcome to 'Battle Pet Era'!" Tony's voice rang in my ears. "Here, your battle pets can evolve, learn skills, and battle against players from all over the world! This is a 100% immersive experience, a brand new virtual world!"

Looking at everything before him, Yu Mu felt a surge of emotions welling up inside him.

Heroic spirit!

Passionate!

He saw it.

He seemed to see a vast business empire rising from the ground.

As a household mechanical beast that can be used by everyone in this game, Yu Mu has always placed high hopes on it.

This is more than just a game.

This is the key to bringing the concept of "extraordinary" to the world in the safest, most universal, and most addictive way!

People will go crazy for it and spend a fortune to make their "battle pets" stronger.

And this money will be continuously converted into clover in the system, allowing his frog to go to a higher world and bring back even more powerful strength!

He could almost see himself sitting behind the scenes, smiling as he pushed the gears of the entire world, drawing everyone into this wave he had created, a wave called "entertainment game."

While everyone else was immersed in the virtual power, he alone was stepping onto the true altar in reality.

"Tony." Yu Mu exited the virtual mode and looked at his close friend who was looking at him expectantly.

"You're a genius."

This heartfelt praise brought a radiant smile to Tony Stark's face.

For him, nothing is more satisfying than the recognition from his own kind.
