Over the next month, Sonia had to both receive visitors and go out to discuss various matters.
So, she basically had to run around between the island and outside every day.
Fortunately, after a few days, Harvey had Sonia purchase a Cosmic Warship, otherwise, she wouldn't know how much time would be wasted traveling back and forth.
Of course, this Cosmic Warship wasn't just for Sonia's travel; when not in use, it could be given to Tony for research.
Originally, Harvey intended to directly buy a large Cosmic Warship, but Sonia persuaded him otherwise.
Not only did Sonia think it was too wasteful, but it was also inconvenient for her to travel in such a large Cosmic Warship.
Even if they bought a Cosmic Warship, there wouldn't be enough funds for Mr. Tony to conduct research.
Therefore, it was best to proceed gradually, letting Mr. Tony start his research with the Cosmic Warship.
Once Mr. Tony thoroughly researched the Cosmic Warship and began profiting from its production, he would have accumulated a considerable amount of technology and knowledge, and naturally, the funds for further research would be available.
A month later, Sonia spent 370 million to purchase a small island only 200 square kilometers in size, located fifty nautical miles from Void Island.
Factories were also built, facilities purchased, and a group of technicians trained for division of labor, allowing them to produce the precise components required for Gravity Device.
After the production and assembly were complete, they would be sent to Tony's laboratory on Void Island, and after Jarvis inputted some programs, a Gravity Device would be considered complete.
The 800 million order required the production of 800 Gravity Device.
Generally speaking, a Gravity Device suitable for medium and small-sized Cosmic Warship costs at least five million or more.
Those made by Tony Stark only cost one million each, directly cutting down four million.
Normally, this would indeed be a loss, but the production cost was only over 300,000, and including labor, it was only 420,000 each.
Moreover, for Tony Stark, who had just entered the arms industry, to bite off some meat from the various leaders in the arms industry, he had to take the path of higher performance and lower prices initially.
Once he gained fame, the selling price of the technology Tony produced could be raised.
Knowing that things were on the right track, Tony decided to relax a bit, as he would have enough money to buy a Cosmic Warship in just a few more months.
It was June 2010, which was the hot summer season on Xandar.
Many people gathered on the beach of Void Island, mostly men, with only three women among them.
There had always been very few women who dared to come to Void Island and persisted in their faith to receive blessings.
However, these three were like red dots in a sea of green, showcasing their hot figures in bikinis, dazzling the surrounding men.
When Tony arrived at the beach, he suddenly heard a "boom!" like a muffled thunder.
A spherical object flew towards him like a cannonball, Tony's eyes narrowed, and he spread his palm forward.
With a "bang!", when the spherical object landed in Tony's hand, it kept spinning and rubbing, emitting smoke. The explosive force caused Tony's feet to slide back two meters, leaving a clear Ravine in the sand.
Tony's hand was slightly painful from the scorching friction, but he didn't care, because the pain was rapidly disappearing.
Tony looked closely at his hand and saw that it was a volleyball.
"Tony, it's rare for you to come here, want to play?"
At this moment, a voice came from the side, inviting him.
Tony looked over at the sound and saw it was Renoli, inviting him to a match.
"It doesn't seem fair to compete with you."
Tony said with a smile, spinning the volleyball in his hand as he walked over.
"It's just for fun, of course, you can't use your true strength; you need to control your power to play."
"Otherwise, who would dare to play with that guy Kyle."
Renoli said, pointing his thumb backward.
Tony looked over at the remark and saw Kyle, as burly as a mountain, suddenly leaping over ten meters high in a thirty-meter-wide beach volleyball court.
His thick arm slammed down, and with a "boom!" the muffled thunder sounded again.
This sound alone conveyed an astonishing sense of power, yet the volleyball that was struck did not break.
It flew directly to the opposite side like a bursting meteor.
And Kyle's opponent was Lacey, wearing a black bikini and showing off her hot figure.
At this moment, Lacey's eyes were sharp, and with a movement of her body, she appeared at the landing spot, causing some impact on the sand beneath her feet, sending sand flying as she caught the volleyball.
After the volleyball bounced, Lacey stomped her feet, leaped high, and slammed it down with a "bang!" The volleyball flew like a bullet out of a gun.
Kyle had just landed, like a running giant bear, each step on the ground Makes a really low roaring sound, quickly catching and striking again.
Lacey and Kyle played volleyball with fierce intensity, yet the volleyball never burst, showing their exquisite control over their power.
"Okay, what are the rules?"
Tony said, spinning the volleyball in his hands, as he came to Renoli's side of the volleyball court.
"If you can't catch it, one point deducted. If it goes out of bounds, one point deducted. If the ball bursts, one point deducted. The loser treats."
Renoli saw some interest in Tony's eyes and explained the rules.
Because the members of the Void God Cult all had physical qualities beyond ordinary people.
So even common sports in the World of ordinary people would be played with unusual intensity by them.
However, various sports were also the most popular activities among the members of Void Island.
Because not only were there stakes, but it also allowed them to train their control over their power, and most importantly, if they won, it proved their superior control over power.
The damned desire to win made no one want to lose, so everyone's enthusiasm was extremely high whenever various competitive sports were held.
It was summer now, so more people gathered, enjoying the taste of a summer beach, being able to see beautiful women and play in the Water, and there were even bets, with everyone wagering on who would win.
Of course, the stakes weren't big, just a few treats.
Now, every member of the Void God Cult was a foodie; how could they be willing to gamble big and risk not having money to eat for a period in the future?
"It's my first time playing; I need to test the hardness of the ball."
Tony heard these rules, saw the lively atmosphere around him, and felt his fighting spirit rise.
Which man wouldn't want to show off his absolute style and receive cheers and applause in a similar competition?
"Suit yourself. You can even serve first later."
Renoli said indifferently.
The fourth update is delivered.
