Actually, a long time ago, the diary mentioned that while Tony Stark's intelligence ranked among the top in the World, it wasn't the absolute pinnacle.
Zhou Cheng even made a ranking, believing that Playboy could only rank in the top five!
He didn't even make it into the top three!
The other party brazenly claimed that there were two people whose intelligence definitely surpassed his, Tony.
And there were a few others who were on par with his, Tony.
Tony Stark had long since experienced Zhou Cheng's consistent style of belittling him.
Naturally, he didn't truly take the other party's ranking to heart.
But regardless, Playboy was very interested in who this person, whom Zhou Cheng had definitively declared smarter than him, actually was.
Finally, just now, the diary has given a definitive answer.
Mr. Fantastic, is that you?
Haha!
Tony Stark couldn't help but chuckle.
According to the diary's spoiler, one of the other party's research projects didn't get investment, so it's clear that the other party's identity is the same as his, Tony's; they are most likely also a scientist.
So the question arises, if the other party is really that smart, why couldn't they get investment?
There's only one answer: the other party couldn't produce anything truly valuable!
Why would this be?
Undoubtedly, not smart enough!
What? Scientific research requires funding, capital, and without capital, nothing can be researched?
This certainly applies to ordinary scientists, but for scientists of Tony's caliber, it doesn't apply.
After all, didn't his, Tony, literally hammer out a set of armor in a cave with a mjolnir?
Even the most rudimentary Mark I armor, Playboy is confident, would absolutely cause a scramble if thrown out.
So Mr. Fantastic not getting investment, at the end of the day, is still because he's not smart enough!
What's more.
Since they are all in the scientific community, if there really was a scientist of his caliber, wouldn't Playboy know?
The smartest on Earth, it's truly laughable.
Even he, Tony Stark, only dared to consider himself the smartest in the country, not the smartest on the entire Earth.
What on Earth?
While disdainfully curling his lips, Playboy's gaze continued to sweep across the diary, and he was stimulated again.
Rocket Raccoon?
Looking at this name, it should be a Raccoon named Rocket?
Are you kidding me!
The diary is actually saying that Raccoon is smarter than Mr. Fantastic?
And Mr. Fantastic is smarter than his, Tony, which isn't that saying his, Tony, isn't as smart as a Raccoon?
This is a bit ridiculous, isn't it?
Could it be that the Raccoon mentioned in the diary is not the furry mammal he thinks it is?
Hmm, that's right.
Interstellar, after all.
Mr. Fantastic is the smartest on Earth, but when expanded to the interstellar, this position becomes Rocket Raccoon.
So it's clear that the Raccoon named Rocket is from an alien Planet.
Where are there Raccoons on alien Planets?
So that should be an alien species that looks similar to a Raccoon?
Hmm, it seems that's how it is.
And if that's the case, Tony Stark quickly dismissed Rocket Raccoon from his mind.
Anyway, alien Planets and Earth don't connect, so Playboy couldn't be bothered.
He secretly made a decision in his heart: he would definitely find out who that Mr. Fantastic was later, and see how much he was truly worth.
To make Zhou Cheng, the Master of the diary, think so highly of him.
[Rocket Raccoon, at present, should be the smartest creature in the entire Universe, right?]
[That's an existence that even Supreme Evolution envies, hates, and fears immensely.]
[Problems that Supreme Evolution painstakingly researched but couldn't understand, Rocket Raccoon, who hadn't even fully learned language, could quickly grasp after hearing a fragmented discussion, shocking Supreme Evolution.]
[No exaggeration, his intelligence is truly overpowered.]
[But unfortunately, such a brilliant brain is completely wasted on Rocket Raccoon; this guy doesn't do anything serious at all, focusing entirely on pranks.]
[Even during a critical moment like a prison break, he didn't forget to play tricks on Star-Lord.]
[He really has the style of Loki, the God of Mischief.]
The smartest creature in the entire Universe?
This is a bit too exaggerated!
Tony Stark couldn't help but click his tongue repeatedly.
It says the entire Universe here!
How many creatures are there in the entire Universe?
Don't even talk about the entire Universe; just look at Earth, and not even all creatures, just the human species, that's an astonishing six billion plus!
How many creatures are there in the entire Universe is simply unimaginable!
Under such a terrifyingly huge base, Zhou Cheng actually believes that Rocket Raccoon is the smartest?
To what extent is the other party intelligent!
"Supreme Evolution? Who is this again?"
And then, the name Supreme Evolution also attracted Tony Stark's high attention.
This name was mentioned for the first time in the diary, so Playboy naturally couldn't know who it was.
But even so, just by looking at the name, he knew that this must be a super big shot.
After all, not everyone dares to add words like "Supreme" to their name.
As for "Evolution"?
The direction of this word is still relatively clear.
So this Supreme Evolution is actually an interstellar scientist who researches biological evolution?
Tony Stark naturally made such a judgment.
As for what this Supreme Evolution actually researches, Playboy naturally couldn't know.
But it probably wouldn't be too simple of a problem.
No choice, the diary raised Supreme Evolution's prestige a bit too high.
After all, if he's "Supreme Evolution" and still researching very low-level problems, Tony Stark feels it would truly be an insult to his awesome nickname.
But that Rocket Raccoon, even without fully mastering language, could quickly grasp things, which is indeed very astonishing.
Language is a tool for communication!
Not fully mastering language means that effective communication cannot even take place.
Information acquisition may be missing and biased, which is fatal for scientific research.
In this situation, to grasp the result after hearing a fragmented discussion is indeed extraordinary.
Playboy admits this point.
It seems that Rocket Raccoon should indeed be quite intelligent; even if calling him the smartest creature in the entire Universe is somewhat exaggerated, being at the top of the Universe should be no problem.
However, Star-Lord?
The diary had mentioned this name before, and Playboy knew he was a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Could this Rocket Raccoon have some connection with the Guardians of the Galaxy?
However, based solely on Rocket Raccoon playing tricks on Star-Lord, it's impossible to draw a definitive conclusion.
After all, the diary made it clear that Rocket Raccoon is a Loki-like character, prone to mischief.
For such a guy, playing tricks on people he knows or doesn't know is always possible.
[But how to put it, one can only say that all of this is destined.]
[An unreliable guy like Rocket Raccoon met equally unreliable people like Star-Lord and the others.]
[In an equally unreliable way, they formed the most unreliable superhero team in the Universe!]
[Looking at the entire Guardians of the Galaxy, except for Gamora, there isn't a single normal person; each one is more unreliable than the last.]
[It's a miracle that such a team has been able to wander around the Milky Way Galaxy without being killed.]
[But sometimes, unreliable guys grouping together isn't necessarily a bad thing.]
[For example, when Ronan invaded Xandar, only an unreliable guy like Star-Lord could have thought of such an unreliable method to deal with Ronan, right?]
[The key is, it succeeded! Ronan was defeated by a dance!]
[Dancing to save the Milky Way Galaxy, can you imagine that?]
Unreliable?
The diary is indeed correct.
Even in a critical moment like a prison break, he didn't forget to play tricks on others; Rocket Raccoon's style is evident from this.
However, is this Rocket Raccoon really a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy?
Tony Stark's spirit couldn't help but lift.
Following the previously revealed Drax the Destroyer and Star-Lord, the diary finally revealed new members of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Adding Gamora mentioned below.
Then, the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy that Tony Stark has knowledge of number as many as four.
Actually, all along.
Playboy was very interested in this team that had fought alongside him on Titan.
Unfortunately, the diary never provided much information.
Until this moment, Zhou Cheng finally stopped being stingy and revealed more relevant information to Tony Stark.
But it must be said, Playboy never expected Zhou Cheng to give the Guardians of the Galaxy such an "unreliable" evaluation.
And it wasn't just mentioned once; the word "unreliable" was mentioned multiple times in just a few short sentences.
So to what extent must this Guardians of the Galaxy be unreliable?
To leave such a deep impression of "unreliability" on Zhou Cheng?
The diary mentioned forming the team in an "unreliable way," and Tony Stark naturally doesn't know what that way was.
But based on the context, could it be related to that prison break?
But as for the specifics, the diary doesn't describe much, and Playboy can't make further judgments.
He also couldn't learn more about the team's "various wanderings" in the Milky Way Galaxy, but did the Guardians of the Galaxy actually deal with Ronan?
Ronan was also mentioned in the diary; he was someone who made a high-level civilization like Xandar tremble!
Although he was once scared away by Captain Marvel, there's no doubt he's also a very formidable character in the interstellar.
But that Star-Lord actually defeated Ronan by dancing?
Are you kidding me!
Dancing?
Even with Tony Stark's super high intelligence, at this moment, he felt his brain wasn't quite keeping up.
What on Earth is dancing?
The diary describes it very clearly: that was a war to invade a Planet!
The word "dancing" at this time is completely out of place!
What kind of thought process would lead one to dance in an interstellar invasion war like this?
It's simply outrageous, beyond belief!
No wonder Zhou Cheng, the Master of the diary, would say how unreliable this team was; now Playboy has finally experienced it.
However, what's even more outrageous is that this incredibly absurd method actually succeeded, truly defeating Ronan.
Just like a joke.
This time, Playboy is truly a bit stumped.
He also became increasingly curious about the Guardians of the Galaxy, this miraculous team.
[It was precisely because of that battle that Star-Lord, an unknown person, truly rose to prominence in the interstellar.]
[Becoming a true legendary outlaw.]
[Even his father, Ego, heard of Star-Lord's great reputation.]
[Speaking of Ego, you really can't help but be impressed; I'd call him the Universe's number one Playboy.]
[He actually XXOOed with people, no, creatures of so many races, giving birth to so many offspring; it's truly amazing.]
[That's interspecies!]
[Oh, no, saying interspecies isn't entirely accurate either.]
[Because strictly speaking, Ego isn't a creature at all; he's just a Planet!]
[That's right, the legendary outlaw Star-Lord, his father is actually a Planet!]
XXOOed with countless creatures!
Gulp.
Tony Stark couldn't help but swallow hard, and even a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Star-Lord's father's taste is actually so heavy?
Playing interspecies?
And so many of them?
Playboy's mind couldn't help but conjure an image of a person and a pig, and he immediately began to shiver.
Warrior!
Star-Lord's father Ego is truly a warrior!
Although Tony Stark is not a historian, he has dabbled in some of China's history.
He knew that some emperors of Chinese dynasties could have thousands of wives.
But compared to Ego, they were like a small witch meeting a great witch, completely outclassed, weren't they?
Hmm?
Wait a minute!
While grumbling and muttering to himself, Playboy's mouth suddenly couldn't help but widen, revealing a bewildered expression.
Ego is actually a... Planet?
Planet?
Zhou Cheng didn't write it wrong, did he?
How can a Planet XXOO with a creature and have offspring?
Does a Planet have that function?
Tony Stark racked his brain, but he completely couldn't understand this incredible, utterly illogical thing.
"Jarvis, regarding Star-Lord's father being a Planet, do you have anything to say?"
Completely baffled, Playboy couldn't help but ask his intelligent butler.
"According to the current human social knowledge system, there is no theory that can explain a Planet giving birth to offspring with a creature."
"Perhaps, the Master of the diary used some kind of metaphor or exaggeration."
Jarvis, however, gave such an answer.
Tony Stark subconsciously shook his head.
Judging by the tone of the diary, the other party doesn't seem to be using any rhetorical devices.
As for what exactly is going on, he probably won't truly understand until the diary reveals more relevant information.
