Child of Nature: "Want me to send you five more?"
Child of Nature: "As for payment, just send me a set of Iron Man armor when you finish.
No need to pack it with weapons—it's more for my collection."
Richest Man: "OK!"
Tony Stark barely hesitated before agreeing.
Ding! Group member Child of Nature has sent a special red envelope.
Ding! Group member Richest Man has claimed your red envelope.
Child of Nature: "I compressed the aura into a bead and wrapped it in a protective membrane. Just swallow it to use.
For ordinary people, one is plenty—it's got enough aura to take a long time to absorb."
For Brandon, aura was just another part of nature—he could shape and compress it at will. Trading with group members, he always wanted to be ready with something valuable. Aura beads were the perfect currency for this kind of crowd.
They were surprisingly versatile, good for healing, extending lifespan, or just boosting physical strength.
Richest Man: "ok!"
Ordinary Group Leader: "Wait, you can compress aura into a bead? That's only possible for top cultivators in xianxia novels!"
Ordinary Group Leader: "So… this is like a synthetic spirit stone?"
It was wild—Brandon's world had only just begun aura recovery, yet here he was, pulling off legendary feats.
Child of Nature: "Spirit stone? I didn't think of that, but yeah, basically the same. Just pure aura, no impurities.
If you compared it to a high-grade spirit stone, the amount of aura is less, but it's much purer."
He'd crafted the bead using his [Nature's Authority], condensing only the purest energy—impurities weren't possible unless they too counted as aura.
Ding! Group member Child of Nature has sent out nine red envelopes.
Child of Nature: "@Everyone, each envelope has three aura beads.
No matter how strong you are, a little aura is always useful—especially for you, Group Leader and Daigo, since you two are the weakest."
Child of Nature: "headache.jpg"
Child of Nature: "Just realized—Group Leader's body rejects aura.
I made the beads so anyone can absorb them, but if your body's an aura insulator… well, it might not work."
Child of Nature: "@Uchiha Dance King, I've heard aura can nourish the soul—maybe it'll help you, too."
Ordinary Group Leader: "Even if it doesn't work, once I become OP, I'll take care of you, Brandon!"
Ordinary Group Leader: "teary.jpg"
Ding! Group Leader Ordinary Group Leader has claimed your red envelope.
Stew Daigo Into Soup: "Same!"
Ding! Group member Stew Daigo Into Soup has claimed your red envelope.
Queen of Evil Spirits: "Thanks!"
Ding! Group member Queen of Evil Spirits has claimed your red envelope.
Come Be My Son: "Gurarara! Brandon, I like you more and more. Interested in being my son?"
Ding! Group member Come Be My Son has claimed your red envelope.
Uchiha Dance King: "I owe you one."
Ding! Group member Uchiha Dance King has claimed your red envelope.
Golden Flash: "If aura is that potent, it could help Kushina's condition, too."
Ding! Group member Golden Flash has claimed your red envelope.
Just Like That, Meow: "Perfect! One for me, one for Jessie, one for James—meow!"
Ding! Group member Just Like That, Meow has claimed your red envelope.
Invincible East: "I owe you another favor."
Ding! Group member Invincible East has claimed your red envelope.
Glory of the Northern God: "Woof woof woof.jpg"
With that, all nine red envelopes were gone.
Stew Daigo Into Soup: "How come everyone else had something cool to say?
I just said 'same' and now I feel awkward."
Ordinary Group Leader: "@Richest Man, here's a summary of what's about to happen to you.
Better get that Iron Man suit built fast."
Ding! Group Leader has uploaded a memory file.
An hour later, Tony had watched the entire memory dump from Iron Man 1. His eyes were full of shock and disbelief.
He hadn't expected his own uncle, Obadiah, to betray him. Tony had trusted him, handed him almost the entire company—and Obadiah had used it to line his own pockets with blood money.
Even so, it wasn't enough—Obadiah wanted him dead so he could take over Stark Industries.
If Tony hadn't started designing the first Iron Man armor in his head while captive, he'd be long dead.
Queen of Evil Spirits: "Setting aside the story… that suit is kind of… basic."
Queen of Evil Spirits: "No wonder Brandon wants it for his shelf, not for battle."
Compared to what she'd seen in her own world, it didn't measure up. Even the anti-spirits teams had stronger gear.
Come Be My Son: "Technology-wise, it's on par with Germa 66—but too fragile.
Even one punch from me, without using my Devil Fruit, would smash it."
Uchiha Dance King: "External tools are pointless."
Just Like That, Meow: "Cute idea, but not good for catching Pokémon—maybe if you made it a giant robot, meow!"
Just Like That, Meow: "Seriously, a mecha suit would be way more fun, meow!"
Richest Man: "???"
Richest Man: "That's just the first model! Of course it's weak.
Upgrade the materials, tweak the design, and you'll see power like you've never imagined."
Richest Man: "Never underestimate the power of technology!"
Tony could feel a vein popping in his forehead. It was easy for these manga and anime characters to run their mouths—they had all the cheats!
Reality didn't work like that.
