Marvel Gashapon Maniac

The box contained mostly notes, most of which I already knew. Only some video recordings remained unwatched; I didn't know if they would yield any clues.

"Don't worry, since Egg said so, there must be something hidden in what your father left behind, something that even S.H.I.E.L.D. couldn't figure out and only you could find," Fu You comforted him, handing Tony the thing hidden behind his back.

“...What’s this?” Tony looked at the blue bracelet in Fu You’s hand, his eyelids twitched, and he remembered something bad.

“If you can’t find any clues, you can try this. This Kempf bracelet might be able to help you,” Fu You said with a smile, but Tony could only read a sly excitement in her expression.

"No! I don't need it!" Tony refused loudly and decisively without even asking what the bracelet was for.

......

"Jarvis, have you figured out what that thing is?" Tony asked Jarvis, flipping through his father's old videos.

"Sir, this bracelet is made using an unknown location technology. Not only the internal components, but also the material of the outer shell is unknown."

Jarvis scanned the Kempf bracelet several times but was unable to crack its technology.

“Jarvis…” Tony pressed the pause button on the video: “Why do I feel like you’ve been unable to analyze things much ever since you met Fu You?”

Tony was somewhat frustrated; Fuyou was a complete mystery to him. The bizarre mechs, the amazing cuisine, the enigmatic games—all these things were beyond Tony's understanding of the world.

Even if someone came up to him now and told him that the gods in mythology were actually aliens, and that they were all goofballs, Tony wouldn't be surprised.

“Sir, even a genius like you cannot unravel its mysteries, how could I possibly decipher them?” Jarvis replied humbly.

"I love to hear that. Jarvis, your speaking skills seem to have improved a lot. Where did you learn that?" Tony was immediately in a good mood upon hearing this, and he smiled happily as he poured himself a glass of wine.

"Oh, it's 'A Selection of Workplace Flattery Techniques' uploaded by Mr. Fu You to the subroutine. Mr. Fu You's note says it can make the leader being praised so happy they'll be bubbling with joy."

"Pfft!" Tony spat out a mouthful of red wine onto the ground.

"Turn off the upload connection for this subsystem! Don't upload anything without my permission!"

"Yes, sir."

Tony wiped away imaginary cold sweat from his brow. Jarvis, as an artificial intelligence, had the ability to learn on its own. If Fu You sent up some strange stuff, wouldn't that just cause trouble for him?

"There's nothing we can do... we still can't find any clues." After arranging for Jarvis to continue the examination, Tony started watching the video again.

Unfortunately, the video only contained old stories, just clips from when my father filmed videos before.

The notes were blank at the end, and Tony, frustrated, threw them into the trash can.

Now that things had come to this, Tony couldn't help but look at the bracelet that Jarvis was scanning.

Tony stood up from the sofa and walked to the workbench.

"Can this thing really help me?" Tony stared at the bracelet, somewhat lost in thought.

Although not completely desperate, the feeling of death constantly looming over you is not a pleasant one.

Tony couldn't resist reaching for the bracelet...

"Tony."

A voice suddenly came from behind, interrupting Tony's actions.

Looking back, I saw Howard Stark on the screen.

“Tony…you’re too young to understand yet. So I filmed this for you first.” Howard leaned against the table and said to the screen, as if he could see Tony in the future.

“All of this,” Howard said, pointing to the perfect city he had envisioned, “is all built for you. These represent not only human inventions, but also my life’s work… This is the key to the future.”

“I’m limited by the technology of this era, but one day you’ll understand, and you’ll change the world.” Howard looked back at the screen, and Tony couldn’t decipher the emotion in his eyes. It wasn’t that he lacked emotion, but rather that the deep affection he once thought would never be present in his stern father.

After a moment's thought, Howard said to the screen, "My greatest invention in my life... is you."

The screen turned completely white, but Tony couldn't tear his eyes away from it.

His father had never said "I love you," but now, Tony felt that those words spoke volumes.

"...Even though he's dead, do you still want to teach me a lesson?" Tony fell silent, sensing another side of his father.

He didn't know what to say, so he remained silent.

Tony had no idea that his father had not only taught him a lesson, but also saved his morals.

The Kempf bracelet lay quietly on the workbench, still without a suitable owner.

[VTB for a better world]

mission completed

-

Fu You, who was making breakfast early in the morning, received a system notification that the task was completed.

"Wow, it's done so quickly! VTubers under big companies have it so much easier than independent VTubers." In Fu You's memory, 45 on a certain VTuber had already gained 100,000 viewers in less than a month since his debut.

Stark Industries already had a high profile as an arms company, but after transitioning to gaming, it not only attracted attention but also garnered even more attention from gamers due to the high quality of its games.

A large number of gamers online have started referring to Stark Industries as Stark Games.

As the spokesperson for Stark Games, Fu You gained over 50 followers after just one live stream.

Another 1000 points arrived, and Fu You is now quite wealthy, with 2500 data energy points and 3 gacha pulls that can be used for specific draws.

Now that he thought the mission was complete and there was no need to continue streaming, Fu You was considering whether to release a retirement video now.

Retiring immediately after debuting might make him a legend.

But looking at the comments on the screen, everyone is looking forward to meeting the so-called "Pecorine" again.

Fu You had a strange feeling for the first time; perhaps this is what the so-called VTuber culture is like.

Even though VTubers don't show their faces, the streamers and viewers wouldn't recognize each other even if they met on the street.

However, there is a strange bond: as long as VTB stands on stage in another identity, he can chat happily with the audience.

"Well, since we've already started... I might as well stay a little longer."

Fu You, as if possessed, changed his original idea.

1. As usual, I'm asking for all sorts of things.

2. I've already reached 10 words, and I think it's time to get a recommendation spot, so I need to start accumulating more chapters. I'm even more afraid that if I say it becomes a single post, you guys will kick me out of my health insurance card, so I'm thinking of accumulating some more in other spare time.

3. I feel that after Tony truly talked to his father in Avengers: Endgame, he finally let go of his worries about his father, which can be considered a kind of liberation.

4. Continue down the VTuber path; perhaps one day it can become VTuber2.

Chapter 48 New Reactor Completed

“Coulson, you have a new mission. You need to go to New Mexico.” Eddie Redmayne said to Coulson after sorting through the documents submitted by the other agents.

“Um, Chief. You know I’ve been working with the Captain on justice lately, so could I take some time off?” Coulson hesitated, looking at Eddie Redmayne.

“Agent Coulson, the Joker and the Scarecrow won’t affect our normal lives, but this incident will.” Eggman ignored Coulson’s words and handed over the documents in his hand.

"A hammer falling from the sky... wait? Could this be...?" Coulson glanced at the report, somewhat surprised.

“That’s right.” Eggman nodded: “Fu You once said that the prince of the alien civilization Asgard would come with the hammer, and this is an event that concerns Earth.”

Upon hearing that the incident was so significant, Coulson became serious.

"So, if what Fu You said isn't a lie, then we should contact the alien crown prince now?"

"Yes, I don't think I need to explain to you how serious diplomatic issues are, do I?" Egg's expression was also somewhat solemn. This incident was of great importance, and he couldn't afford to be careless.

"So what do you mean?"

“We can’t completely trust Fu You’s words, but careful probing is not out of the question. This time, you not only need to safeguard diplomatic issues, but also test just how strong the aliens’ combat capabilities really are.”

Coulson pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"However, Chief, I have a question."

"Huh? What's the problem?"

"I remember you didn't read DC comics before, so how did you learn about the Joker and the Scarecrow?"

After a moment of silence, the man with the boiled egg turned his head away and said, "It's just hearsay."

"...Oh, Director, how much of your salary do you have left?"

"..."

……

the other side.

Tony accidentally discovers that the city model left by his father looks a bit strange. After Jarvis's thorough investigation, Tony finally discovers the secret left by his father.

A completely new model of unknown elements.

Tony, being incredibly extravagant, smashed up his own villa and installed experimental pipes.

"I heard you went out earlier?" Coulson walked in as Tony was setting up his experiment.

"I retrieved some things, all old news," Tony replied without looking up.

"Is there a problem?"

“I’m here to say goodbye. I’m going to New Mexico,” Coulson said.

"New Mexico, that's a great place, a paradise on earth. If you're afraid of thunder, you can go there; there's hardly any heavy rain there."

“Probably.” Coulson shrugged. “I just hope you can help me get in touch with that girl you’re with. We think she might have some additional insights into this mission.”

This was Nick Fury's decision, because S.H.I.E.L.D. currently knows very little about the girl next to Tony.

She always appears and disappears suddenly, and there is no matching person in the resident information, as if she appeared out of thin air.

"Her? I know, I'll let her know. But whether she goes or not isn't up to me. She's probably very busy lately." Tony paused for a moment, then continued setting up the experiment.

Thinking about Fuyou, who has suddenly become active on Stark's official account recently, Tony has a feeling that she might have hit her head.

He seemed reluctant before, but now he's livestreaming and interacting with his viewers so enthusiastically.

Tony even did a live stream on a whim, using Stark Industries' official account.

The number of viewers was less than 1 because Fu You was using the game department's account to stream Batman.

Tony felt a bit annoyed when he thought about it. Would you guys rather watch a fake Batman boxing than watch a real rich guy throwing money around?

After saying goodbye to Coulson, Tony completed the preparations for the experiment.

When the prism accelerator is switched on, energy begins to flow through the pipes, and the enormous amount of energy is emitted through the prism.

"Approaching maximum energy," Jarvis cautioned.

Tony grabbed the wrench at hand and turned the valve to rotate the prism.

The energy emitted from the prism sliced ​​through the wall and cut through boxes and other objects in its path.

"Very good." Everything is going as planned.

Tony continued to rotate the prism, eventually guiding the energy refracted by the prism to concentrate on the reactor core he had prepared beforehand.

As energy was injected, the reactor core emitted a dazzling light. Tony, seeing that the experiment was complete, immediately cut off the power.

The new reactor core still shines with a dazzling blue light, demonstrating its power.

“This is pretty simple.” Tony put the newly manufactured reactor core into the reactor. He had finally found a replacement for the palladium plate of the old reactor on his body.

"Sir, do we still need to analyze the bracelet?" Jarvis asked.

Tony glanced back at the Kempf bracelet and shook his head.

“Return it to Fu You… no, let’s put it in a cabinet and keep it. Maybe I’ll be able to crack its secret soon.”

Tony initially didn't want to keep it because he had a nagging feeling of danger. But upon reflection, he realized he had already created new elements; perhaps a few more steps would allow him to unlock the bracelet's secrets.

“Yes, sir,” Jarvis replied, purchasing a prominent transparent glass display case for Tony online.

"Holy crap? Tony, you've got a husky?" Fu You, who happened to be looking for Tony, pushed open the door and exclaimed in surprise at the mess inside.

"It's nothing, just an experiment."
