Marvel Gashapon Maniac

Tony placed the new reactor on the workbench for Jarvis to test, gave Fu You a bottle of cola, and opened a bottle of red wine for himself.

"I didn't expect you to keep Coke at home?" Fu You said curiously as he took the Coke.

"It's all for you." Tony poured himself a glass of red wine. "You're too young to drink alcohol, so I specially prepared some for you."

"Thank you so much." Fu You took a big gulp; he usually enjoyed eating potato chips and drinking cola at home.

“I’ve already completed the new element, and soon I’ll also figure out the secrets of your bracelet.” Tony proudly raised his chin.

"It would be best if you could succeed." Fu You shook his head and smiled.

It would be great if you could also help eliminate the side effect of transformation, but Fu You feels that it would be difficult for Tony to do so with his current technological capabilities.

"Oh, right. S.H.I.E.L.D. are looking for another you. They say there are some incidents in New Mexico that they need you to go with them." Tony suddenly remembered what Coulson had told him and said to Fu You.

"New Mexico, huh? Got it." Thinking back on the timeline, Thor, the Avengers' comedic relief, should be coming soon: "Where's the timeline?"

"In 2 days."

"I understand, I'll go help." Fu You nodded.

Just as the two were chatting, the phone suddenly rang.

"Looks like Coulson's getting anxious, huh?" Tony answered the phone. "Agent Coulson, you're not planning to tell me again, are you?"

"Tony, how are you?" A deep male voice came from the phone, startling Tony.

"We've gotten back in touch, hehehe."

"Uh..." Tony hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Excuse me... who are you?"

"...Ivan Vanko," the person on the other end of the phone paused noticeably, then said his name in a trembling voice.

Tony turned to look at Fu You: "Who was that again?"

“Your dad’s colleague’s son, the one who went to the racetrack looking for you in his philosophy clothes,” Fu You explained.

"Oh, it's you. How's it doing in prison?"

“…” Ivan, who heard everything clearly on the other end of the phone, fell silent.

1. Of course, it's still the same old routine: asking for all sorts of things.

2. I'm starting to catch up on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., even though I might not write a story, I still want to watch it, as I haven't watched it yet.

3. I was thinking about whether to let Tony research the Gem of Desire as well, but I felt that it might cause a collapse, so I decided against it.

4. I heard the spin-off of Bones got them married? Wow, is it true?

Chapter 49 Even Batman Can't Save You

"Tony Stark, I'll give you a surprise. I'll avenge my father," Ivan said ruthlessly before hanging up the phone.

"Sir, line tracing failed," Jarvis said after hanging up the phone.

"What does that guy want to do?" Tony said, somewhat annoyed. This guy was like a lunatic.

When I first met him at the racetrack, he was lying on the ground and said, "You lost." And now he's suddenly calling me and saying, "I have a surprise for you." Is this guy really out of his mind?

“Since the incident was caused by the Ark Reactor, it might be related to that,” Fu You said, pointing to the news in the next window.

Hammer Industries: Bringing a Better Tomorrow

It was news that Hammer Industries would be unveiling its self-developed mecha at the Stark Expo, along with the military's Patriot mecha.

"Hammer making armor? He'd be better off making a mechanical husky." Tony scoffed, now certain that Ivan was involved.

The mech suit made by Hammer Industries, which could break a pilot's back with a turn, was no different from trash in Tony's eyes.

“I need to ask Rhodes.” Tony dialed Rhodes’ number.

Rhodey's Patriot armor was prepared for him by Tony, who wanted Rhodey to inherit the title of Iron Man if he couldn't find an antidote.

Although she had considered Fu You, she couldn't accept the offer and there was nothing she could do.

"Rhodes, are you going to showcase your armor alongside Hammer Industries' armor?" Tony asked quickly after connecting with Rhodes.

“Listen, Tony, I’m sorry, this is an order from above, I…” Rhodes explained to Tony.

“No, that doesn’t matter. Where are you now?” Tony interrupted Rhodes directly.

"We're already at the expo, and we'll be going on stage soon. What's wrong?" Rhode was a little puzzled. Wasn't that what Tony cared about?

"Disable the weapon systems, don't move, I'll be right there." Tony quickly hung up the phone.

"Looks like you'll have to help me before you go help S.H.I.E.L.D." Tony picked up the reactor that was being tested and attached it to his chest.

“Sir, the test isn’t over yet.” Jarvis intended to stop Tony’s dangerous actions.

"No time, assemble the armor now." The reactor began releasing energy to provide power.

"My mouth tastes like coconut." Tony felt the energy release from the reactor leaving a strange taste in his mouth: "Why do I smell like roasted meat? Jarvis, is my chest burning?"

Along with the coconut scent, there was also a smell of barbecue, leading Tony to believe that the reactor overload had caused the flesh on his chest to burn.

“Sir, the smell of the roasted meat is because Mr. Fu You is using the overheated pipe from your experiment to heat up the pork belly rice ball,” Jarvis explained to Tony.

Tony looked at Fu You in surprise. Fu You was opening a box and placing rice balls on the wall of the pipe he had just experimented with.

"Um... I just wiped it, it's not dirty." Fu You looked at Tony somewhat awkwardly, holding the leftover rice ball from his lunch.

"That's not the point! Transform and follow me!"

……

At the Stark Industries Expo, Hammer was giving an exaggerated presentation of his land, sea, and air mechs on stage, while Rhodes, dressed in Patriot armor, also came to the front of the stage as he was being introduced.

At the same time, a low-key red and gold suit of armor descended from the sky and appeared in front of Hammer, marking the arrival of Iron Man Tony Stark.

"Tony? What's he doing here?" Potts asked in surprise when he saw Potts coming on stage.

"He's here to take care of some things," a voice came from the side.

Potts turned his head and saw a blonde girl in a white dress. The clever combination of the white dress and black stockings, along with her neatly styled hair, gave her an initial impression of youthful innocence yet undeniable spirit.

“Miss Moon Wheel.” Potts recognized the person in front of him at a glance.

Moon Wheel, which is the alias Fu You uses after transforming. Although he had considered using the pseudonym Fu Hua, he didn't use that name because the surname Fu is rare and he couldn't see his feet when he looked down.

After transforming, she found that most of the people in the stands had arrived, and a fight was probably about to break out. There were no phone booths available to change clothes, so she simply used SaberLily's sealing stone, changed into the white dress, and came out.

"Miss Moon Wheel, you look even more beautiful in this outfit." Potts was also amazed by the new clothes and couldn't help but praise her.

Fu You's eye twitched.

Actually, I'm here to protect you.

Before he could finish speaking, Tony on the stage took to the air, and the Hammer Industries mechs began firing in his direction, with Rhodey's armor following suit.

Under the machine gun fire, the glass in the ceiling shattered, eliciting shouts from the audience.

"One team will go after Tony, and another team will go find the Batman Hammer mentioned." Ivan thought to himself while remotely controlling the machine, and activated a portion of the ground-based mechs to head towards Potts.

Batman is likely protecting the CEO of Stark Industries; going directly to her should be enough to find her.

"Tony! A squad of Jaegers is heading for Poz! Go save her!" Rhodes shouted to Tony over the comms.

"It's alright, don't worry. Someone's taken care of things with Potts." Tony reached back and pulled out a flight suit of armor, showing no sign of panic.

"Please step back." Natasha, who had come with Potts, immediately recognized the armor's target and gestured for Potts to step back.

The armored warrior in front had just raised its cannon when it was electrocuted by an electrified gadget, causing its system to malfunction and knocking it to the ground. S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Natasha then stepped in to help.

"You...you?" Potts looked at Natasha with some surprise as she immediately entered combat mode and even took down a mech with her bare hands.

“I’ll explain later.” Natasha grabbed Potts’ hand and ran off the court.

"I'll leave the rest to you," she said to Fu You as she ran.

"The raid members all ran away first," Fu You couldn't help but shake his head and complain.

The surrounding mechs seemed to ignore Fu You and intended to continue the pursuit.

As they approached Fu You, a golden longsword appeared in Fu You's hand, cleanly and swiftly slicing several mechs in front of him in two.

"Don't ignore me!" Fu You gripped his sword with both hands. "Though I'm short, I'm still a 3-star War God!"

Ivan, who was controlling the mech on the other side, widened his eyes: "Disassembling a mech with a melee weapon, she's obviously a martial arts master, she's Batman!"

Having found his target, Ivan immediately gave the armor an automatic command and then went to put on the armor he had prepared beforehand.

……

Meanwhile, Tony and Rhodes, having dealt with all their pursuers, received a notification from Natasha that another mech had arrived.

A large armored vehicle, slightly smaller than the Iron Monger of yesteryear, descended from the sky and lashed out with electric whips in its hands.

Ivan's armor landed in front of Tony and Rhodes, and his mask opened to reveal his face.

"What? You've run out of tricks, so you're showing up yourself now?" Tony said mockingly to Ivan.

Ivan glanced at the scattered mechanical soldiers around him and snorted coldly.

"Hmph, looks like those mechanical soldiers can't do anything to you." Ivan flicked his whip: "But I created this mechanical armor, so even if that Batman came, he couldn't save you now! Prepare to die!"

"???"

Wait, who? Who will save me? Batman? How will he save me?

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

2. After all this trouble, I finally got the signing done. However, because I didn't know that I missed signing a few pages, I have to sign them all over again. But at least it's a partial victory.

3. I'll get notified tomorrow about the exam date. I need to take a certification exam, which might affect updates? Not necessarily. Let's see when the exam is. I'll try my best to keep updating twice a week.

Chapter 50 Polygamy and Castrated Legs

"Phew, all done." Easily dicing up all the pursuing mechs, Fu You wiped his sweat and put away the stone cleaver.

These dilapidated mechs were no match for Fu You, after all, these defective products only carried conventional weapons, and because they were automatic, their movements were not very agile.

If Fu You uses the artillery mode armor to tank the attack, there's no need to dodge it.

I wonder if Tony has resolved the issue?

The mechs had already been dismantled into pieces by Fu You and thrown into a corner, and Ivan's self-destruct device had long been cut off.

"I'll go help Tony." Fu You decided to head in the direction Tony had flown off to.

……

"Batman? Who's that?" Tony looked at Ivan like he was crazy.

“Don’t think that just because you’ve hidden that woman next to you, no one will know.” Ivan said dismissively, “She’s stronger than me and clearly skilled in martial arts. I’ve already heard about this so-called Batman from Hammer.”

"Her? Batman? Does she even look like a bat?" Tony was astonished; he couldn't understand how the other person had come to this conclusion.

"Does being called Batman mean you have to look like a bat? You're called Iron Man, but you don't use iron, do you?" Ivan argued forcefully.

“I…” Tony was speechless for a moment.

Just as he was pondering how to explain Batman to this Russian country bumpkin, Rhodes stepped forward.

“Let’s just take care of him now, Tony,” Rhodes said.

"Tony, you'd better stay away. This super weapon of mine can blow up a fortress."

Tony was taken aback: "Where did this come from?"

"It's the ex-wife missile, incredibly powerful." A launch port extended from the shoulder of the Rhodes mech, and a small missile streaked towards Ivan.

Then... the missile hit Ivan's mech, bounced off the ground, rolled a few times, and went out.

"...This is the superweapon you were talking about? Hammer made it, right?" Tony looked at Rhodes with a puzzled expression.

“…Hmm,” Rhodes paused for a moment, then nodded.

Tony shrugged: "OK, then we'll just have to go for it."

He then delivered a palm strike to Ivan.
