American Comics: The Matrix

"Primus?"

Hearing the name, Tony sobered up a little.

Before this, before he completely fell into despair, he had done a lot about his treatment plan.

Under the premise that the palladium element cannot be replaced, direct surgery to remove the shrapnel is also an option. This type of surgery is originally very risky, but after Norman Osborn announced the advent of a self-healing potion a month ago, the risk has become very small.

But Tony wouldn't try.

Because the self-healing serum was invented by someone else, and it is sold by the Osborne Group.

And the company he hated the most was Osborne!

If he used Osborn's self-healing potion, wouldn't that be admitting that he, and even Stark, were not as good as Osborn?

With such twisted stubbornness, Tony rejected Jarvis' proposal at that time.

However, he did not expect that the person in charge of Primus was so young. At the same time, Tony's mind became active.

Although he would rather die than use other people's technology for the sake of his persistence, the situation at that time was not as urgent as it is now. He was really about to die at this moment.

In this case, Tony's bottom line naturally became a little more flexible.

It's a bit embarrassing to buy the self-healing potion directly, but if the other party begs for help and then delivers the potion to me, then it shouldn't be considered a loss...

So Tony pretended to be indifferent and generous and asked, "What do you want from me, kid?"

At this moment, he was like a genie emerging from a magic lamp. He clearly had desires, but he still looked like: Tell me, three wishes.

Seeing this, Bant shook his head and laughed: "Look at you, Tony Stark, the famous genius, now you have fallen into this state, how much of your life do you have left to indulge?"

"What do you mean?"

"Don't play dumb. Smart people know that you won't live long. Palladium is a double-edged sword, right? You need to use it to absorb shrapnel and prevent them from flowing into your heart through your blood vessels, but at the same time, toxins are also corroding your body."

Bant walked forward, extended his index finger, and tapped the reactor on his chest.

That's right, he came to Tony this time to discuss this deal.

Readers who often travel through time know that it is easy to get some benefits from Tony, such as Stark Group’s stocks, new elements...

Although it is not very original, who wouldn't want to do something that would allow them to get something for nothing?

Besides, even if Bant doesn’t make it, braised eggs can make it. In that case, I might as well do it myself!

Tony's face turned grim when his situation was exposed.

Being weak is one thing, being seen through is another. He felt like a lost person wandering in the desert of death, with vultures hovering above his head and hyenas watching him around.

If she died, could Pepper keep Stark Industries?

I’m afraid it’s difficult?

Tony thought, you know, even when Norman Osborn was alive, he almost lost his company.

"what do you want?"

So Tony asked bluntly.

Since it was a deal, it was obvious that Bant had what he wanted, and he naturally had to pay a price.

"A small favor, easy for you."

Bant was not in a hurry to tell his purpose, but was very considerate and stood on Stark's side.

"I know you don't like Osborn or biological science, so I won't tell you to use the self-healing potion."

Tony was a little surprised, but not surprised.

If Bant's method was potions, there would be no need to make a special trip.

After all, self-healing potions are now clearly priced commodities. If Tony wants to use them, he can just buy them directly. Why bother to trade with him?

So, he raised his eyebrows: "What is that?"

"New elements!"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 119: Bant is not good at studying, what does it have to do with my little hero?

“A whole new element.”

Bant smiled and said: "It can just replace palladium. As a substitute, it does not contain any toxins, and the radiation has almost no effect on the human body."

Bant didn't pretend to be mysterious and said that Tony's father had known about the existence of this element and let Tony discover it himself.

no need.

On the one hand, it was difficult for him to explain why he knew about Howard Stark's deeds, and on the other hand, why should he give the ownership of the element to Stark?

Some people may think that this is even more unfair than salting an egg with salt, but Bant would like to ask, Nick Fury did not discover the new element but instead sent it to Tony. Is it because he did not want to discover it?

Of course it’s because he doesn’t have that ability!

After all, Howard only realized that such an element existed, rather than actually discovering and refining it.

It remains unknown.

It can be said that today, Bant is the discoverer of the new element, and even Howard Stark can provide him with very little help.

He did not have any inheritance left by Howard, and it was impossible for him to recall the appearance of the huge sand table in the movie.

Bant succeeded in extracting the new element only on the premise of knowing its existence.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is the discoverer of elements.

From today,

The new element is named Ban!

This is true even if Black Egg comes to confront him with Howard's relics.

Howard was limited by the times, so he was unable to discover the true identity of the new element. SHIELD and Tony didn't know about it either, so what else is there to say?

At most, great minds think alike, and the ideas of geniuses will always attract each other.

But for Tony, this was undoubtedly a huge blow.

During these days, he had also tried to discover a new element that could replace palladium, but after so much time, he still had no results.

But now, a teenager ran up to him and said he had discovered a new element?

This is not just a fantasy.

It also shows that he, the genius among geniuses, Tony Stark, who is unmatched, actually lost in terms of wisdom and technology!

Moreover, he didn’t lose in biological sciences, which he liked from time to time, but in physics and chemistry…

Complete defeat!

It can be said that Tony was indeed completely defeated.

The only difference is that the person he lost to was not Bant, but Little Wonder.

"Did you really discover a new element?"

he asks.

Even now, Tony still finds it hard to believe.

He had tried so many possibilities but to no avail. How could this person in front of him be possible?

Tony even secretly asked Jarvis to investigate Bant's academic performance. After seeing Bant's terrible grades, Tony found it even more ridiculous.

No?

You only got a B+ in chemistry?

Have you discovered new elements just because you have understood the little things in the textbook?

Jarvis's little tricks could not be hidden from Eunice.

Bant naturally knew that Tony had been secretly investigating his level. Thinking of his barely average performance, Bant's face turned red.

But Bant didn’t get full marks in high school chemistry. What does that have to do with me, the little hero?

Thinking of this, Bant did not hide it and directly pressed the spider silk launch button on his wrist, forcing Eunice to connect to Tony's computer.

Jarvis: Wait, don't come in!

A few seconds later, control of the computer was in Bant's hands.

He waved his hand, and a blue projection appeared in front of Tony's eyes. Countless particles intertwined and surrounded the room, like a miniature universe.

"This is……"

He looked over in surprise, with amazement flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, he finally understood that Bant was not lying.

He had indeed discovered a new element!

"I call him Kryptonian."

Bant explained.

If it were someone else, he wouldn't be able to display his scientific research results so defenselessly, but facing Tony, there was no need to worry.

With his self-esteem, it is impossible for him to do something like stealing other people's achievements.

As for the term Krypton Element, it comes from the world of Xiaopo Watch.

In the first season of Little Big Women, the Kryptonian element played a big role. The energy of this element was purple and was once snatched by the mummies, posing a huge threat.

But here, Bant just took this name.

At this moment, Tony's expression was conflicted and his facial features were twisted. He didn't want to admit that he was inferior to others, but now that the facts were before him, he was completely immersed in it.

After living for decades, this was the first time Tony felt such a huge sense of frustration.

He asked blankly.

"How did you do it?"

Bant shrugged, spread his hands, and said something that made him even more shocked.

"Just do some research."

"It's up to you whether to use it or not. Anyway, now that you've seen the structure of the new element, I believe that with your intelligence, it won't be difficult to extract it."

He threw the choice to Tony.

"or……"

Bant put on his mask again, walked to the window and opened it. Hundreds of meters in the sky, strong winds were howling.

"Or you can use it secretly. I might not be able to tell anyway."

After saying that, he leaped forward, and his dark figure suddenly disappeared under the sky.

Bant didn't say his purpose, but in fact he was still working for Hammer Industries.

It is said that a lean camel is bigger than a horse. If such a huge creature collapses suddenly, it will attract countless predators to eat it.

Primos doesn't have enough foundation, so it's not certain how much he will get when the time comes.

But Bant has a big appetite and wants to swallow Hammer Industries whole, so he comes to Tony.

This deal was very profitable. First of all, his action undoubtedly announced to Tony that he was the discoverer of the new element. Secondly, while he obtained the element, he also received help from Stark Industries.

All he had to do was spend a few days on research.

Bant left, but Tony, who stayed behind, was annoyed by his words.

"Use secretly?"

"Who does he think I am?"

Jarvis:…

After venting his anger, Tony sat back in his chair.

This time, he was completely sober.

The new element he had been searching for had already been discovered by others in advance. He felt unconvinced and a little frustrated.
