I work as an editor at Marvel.

"Request a postponement of the mission!" Tony said immediately after realizing that time was not stopped when the mission was about to begin.

If it weren't for Ethan, he would have died in the attack long ago, so Tony couldn't let Ethan die because of him.

[Special Talent Competitor Privilege 1/1, Use?]

"Use it!" Tony was especially grateful that he was an intellectually gifted person when he saw that there was still room for maneuver in the mission.

[Privilege used up. Initial mission will begin in 7 days. Please note the time...]

Seven days, just seven more days. Tony wiped the sweat from his brow. He had to figure out a way to get himself and Ethan out of this place within those seven days.

On the other side, after watching Tony complete the key steps, Qi Yun withdrew his gaze. He had done everything he could, and if Tony still didn't survive, it was none of his business. After all, he was the supreme god, not a babysitter.

Tony glanced at the tools and parts scattered on the table in front of him. There was no way he could have done it in just seven days.

It seemed there was only one way, and Tony turned his attention to the Mechanic's Handbook.

Upon receiving Tony's gaze, the chip began to spin, then exploded into tiny specks of light. These specks danced in the air before combining to form text that appeared on Tony's retina.

[Mechanic Job Change Quest]

Task briefing: Mechanic is a special profession. To join, you must pass the Mechanic exam. After passing the exam, you will successfully become a Mechanic.

Task information: Successfully manufacture mechanical products of white level or above when the individual's contribution reaches 95% or more.

Task deadline: 24 hours.

Task reward: Become a junior mechanic...

Upon seeing the job assignment, Tony actually breathed a sigh of relief. Assembling a mechanical object was a piece of cake; he used to play games assembling things when he was a kid.

However, due to time constraints, the mech assembled for the mission could not be the one he had planned to build; he had to find one that could be manufactured quickly.

Tony thought for a moment, then looked at the missile wreckage on the platform and his eyes lit up. "Ethan, do me a favor. We need to do something else first."

Twelve hours later, thanks to Tony's extraordinary hands-on skills, a miniature missile appeared on the platform.

[Detection initiated. Product identified as white, score 3. Submit?]

Only three points?! Tony couldn't believe it. This thing couldn't be on a five-point scale, could it? Even if it's five points, it's barely passing!

He then clicked on the scoring details.

crudely made miniature missiles

Attack method: Electronic chip detonation, lethality 0-100, completion rate 70%.

Evaluation: The electronic miniature missiles made by beginners without professional equipment are of low quality and prone to malfunction.

"If I were you, I would never use it, no matter what. It will only kill you." — Han Xiao, legendary Starship Mechanic

Rating: 3 points for white-tier (Note: white-tier items are rated from 0-10).

Tony's face twitched as he read the comments in the journal. This was the first time in his life he had been ridiculed so much for his expertise in weapons manufacturing.

No way! Absolutely not! Tony made up his mind. He could forget about the mission reward, but he couldn't bear to be mocked by Han Xiao like that.

Watching Tony pause for a moment and then start working again with renewed energy, Ethan's worries grew. He wondered if the pressure was too much and had damaged Tony's brain. Unfortunately, he wasn't a psychologist and couldn't offer much help.

The 24 hours passed quickly, during which Tony did not rest except for eating normally.

He hadn't been this crazy in a long time; under external pressure, Tony unleashed two hundred percent of his abilities.

Not only were the blueprints for the miniature missile redesigned, but the miniature missile was also re-polished and reassembled. It can be said that in terms of dedication, this tiny miniature missile has far surpassed other weapons from Stark Industries.

Seeing that the time had run out, Tony submitted the mission.

Enhanced exquisite miniature missile - Modified

Attack method: Electronic chip and touch-activated detonation; lethality 100-150.

Evaluation: Manufactured from modified miniature missile blueprints, it is exquisitely crafted but has low manufacturing efficiency.

"A nice piece of craftsmanship, but when is this thing supposed to be useful?" — Han Xiao, the legendary Star Sea Mechanic

Rating: 7 points (White Tier)

Seeing the rating, Tony sighed. He had no choice; this was the strongest product he could create at the moment. After all, in this rudimentary place, it was quite impressive to have achieved this level of quality.

After the mission was submitted, the miniature missile disappeared into the air.

[Job change quest completed, rating A, job change in progress...]

An invisible force descended from the void and enveloped Tony. Under the influence of this force, Tony vaguely saw a cosmic fleet capable of traversing the stars.

[Successfully hired a mechanic, achieving basic mechanical affinity, fast reading, and stable assembly.]

Ethan, watching the scene unfold, was utterly dumbfounded. Things had taken an unexpected turn, and his entire worldview had been completely shattered in just a few minutes.

"Tony, this... well... never mind, are you alright?" Ethan looked around, stammered for a while, and finally asked.

“I’m fine, and I feel great right now,” Tony said with a smile.

"Then... what exactly happened?" Ethan reached out and touched the empty control panel, his words filled with disbelief.

"This is quite an adventure, I guess. I've joined..."

The moment Tony uttered those words, a warning echoed in his mind.

[Warning: A qualified individual has been detected subjectively revealing information about the Main God Space. Please cease this behavior. Unsolicited disclosure will be subject to punishment.]

Upon hearing this voice, Tony froze. If the Main God Space had directly stopped his actions, that would have been one thing, but now there was only a seemingly innocuous warning.

This only made Tony feel more uneasy. After thinking for a moment, he decided not to continue.

“Join…what?” Ethan asked, looking at Tony.

“It’s nothing.” Tony shook his head. “Anyway, this is good for our escape.”

Seeing that Tony didn't want to elaborate, Ethan understood what was going on and didn't press the matter further.

Then the two of them worked together to put the mech that had been placed aside back on the control panel.

After successfully changing jobs, Tony looked at the mech and had a strange feeling, as if these mechanical creations had come to life.

Sensing the unusual reaction, Tony ran his right hand across the back of his left hand and opened his personal information.

Name: Tony Stark

Occupation: Mechanic (Entry-level)

Level: 3 (A comprehensive rating based on individual physical fitness, knowledge of the sex profession, and exceptional abilities.)

Vitality: 71% (This attribute value is fixed and decreases from 100 downwards based on the severity of injury.)

Mechanical Strength: 10 (An energy unique to mechanics.)

Strength: 4 (related to carrying capacity, attack power, etc.)

Agility: 6+1 (related to nerve reflex speed, movement speed, etc.; the same applies to Mechanic job advancement.)

Intelligence: 10+1 (related to thinking speed, memory, mechanical strength, etc.)

Stamina: 4 (related to vitality, defense, etc.)

Charm: 7 (related to appearance, social interaction, etc.)

Luck: 5 (Special attribute, extremely difficult to improve.)

Note: The average total of the five dimensions for a normal adult male is 25 points, and the average luck value is 3.

(This information is for combat assistance only; please use it with caution.)

Mechanical Affinity (Beginner): Increases understanding of mechanics and improves initial control over all machines.

Speed ​​reading: Improve reading and comprehension skills when reading books related to mechanics.

Stable Assembly: Improves hand and foot stability during mechanical manufacturing and provides an additional stability bonus to personally crafted items.

High-tech invention (initial talent): Your inventions have a chance to transcend the effects of the item's original blueprint and further increase the item's quality.

Tony carefully reviewed his personal information several times and then wrote it all down. This level of personal assessment was something that money couldn't buy.

What surprised Tony was that after all these years of hard work, only one of his skills was recognized by the God Space; the rest were given after he changed jobs. This was quite unexpected for Tony.

However, with the skills of Mechanical Affinity and Stable Assembly, Tony clearly found himself much more adept at assembling and building mechs.

Previously, unexpected situations such as hand tremors could cause progress to be delayed, but these will not happen at all after changing jobs.

At this rate, Tony is confident he can complete the mech in just a few days. That means he should still have some time to prepare for the initial mission after escaping.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Qi Yun is currently busy with Tony's initial mission.

The 24 hours were not only for Tony to prepare, but also for himself.

As a newly established deity, he must carefully select the mission locations for his subordinates.

After all, you can't just throw Tony into a prehistoric world. At best, his initial mission would be to survive, and it might be very difficult to complete, because there are plenty of people there who could kill Qi Yun with a single slap.

"Holy crap! What the hell kind of world is this?!" Qi Yun wiped his sweat after escaping from the crystal wall using his special ability.

The world I just entered was terrifying. As soon as I entered, I saw hordes of insects filling my field of vision, as well as a magnificent and imposing interstellar fleet.

The two sides were fighting to the death there. Qi Yun had originally wanted to see if he could assign Tony a task, but then he discovered that both sides seemed to have a way to detect him.

Not long after they appeared, Qi Yun noticed that an elite fleet and a special insectoid group were sneaking over from the battlefield.

Fortunately, the method of shielding Qi Yun's senses was ineffective; otherwise, it's uncertain whether Qi Yun would have been able to escape.

What Qi Yun found strange was that these two sides were fighting so hard that their brains were spilling out, yet they seemed to be on the same side when facing people like him. Based on this, it's possible that this world was once ravaged by the gods.

Chapter 245 Monopoly is the Best Business (Part 2)

Late at night, in a hotel in the Land of Iron.

Shen sat by the window, with the bright moon before him, and was engaged in his daily practice and meditation. Although the world had been corrupted by some force, meditation, a way of cultivating one's spirit, remained unaffected.

The clanging of blacksmiths echoed in Shen's ears, like a symphony. Perhaps this was a specialty of this iron-producing country: blacksmith shops everywhere.

Compared to ninjas who demanded extreme agility, samurai, who have continued from the Warring States period to the present day, have much higher requirements for armor and weapons, even though they have been assimilated by ninjas to some extent.

The assimilation of samurai was something that greatly disappointed Shen. On his way here, through conversations with caravan members, Shen successfully obtained some information about this world, such as that ninjas, who primarily use chakra as their energy source, are the mainstream profession in this world.

Under these circumstances, Shin initially thought that the Land of Iron might be the only pure land, the only profession that still continued the original course of development of this world. However, after arriving in the Land of Iron, everything he saw made Shin very disappointed. In his eyes, the samurai here were no different from the ninjas hired by the caravan.
