Sonia went straight to take a shower, then changed her clothes and quickly headed to the temple.
Thus, Harvey's daily life on Xandar, in addition to eating, drinking, and playing every day, gained another pastime.
That was, when Sonia wasn't busy, the two would occasionally go to a private, uninhabited island to compete.
※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※
Time flew by, and three months quickly passed, bringing them to October.
Tony's Gravity Device was successfully delivered, and after the other party accepted it, the final payment was transferred.
After tax, there was still 720 million.
Tony only took 120 million of this, planning to use it later to purchase various types of Universe fighters for research, and also to keep some money for his daily lavish spending.
His rightful 240 million was returned to Harvey as a repayment.
Before this, he had always been eating and drinking at public expense, and also lived in Harvey's Villa.
So Tony was very clear that he already owed Harvey too much, and therefore Tony always kept track of the amount in his heart.
It had already been ten months since Tony came to the Universe, and he had two months left until he returned home.
In just ten months, Tony had mastered a lot of knowledge.
Now, his research into nanotechnology was also very deep, but for now, it couldn't be applied to the Iron Man Armor.
However, he wasn't in a hurry; it was only a matter of time before he developed the nano-armor.
The biggest gains in these past nine months were four.
The first was forging deep friendships with many members of the Void God Cult.
Especially Renoli, Prophet, Kyle, and Lacey.
If he ever found himself in trouble in the future, they would definitely come if he asked for their help.
The second was that he discovered Void Power was indeed a profound thing that could empower various materials.
However, there was one drawback: things empowered by Void Power would decrease in durability, only able to sustain ten minutes of combat before breaking.
Even if not used, if left for a period of time, about ten days to half a month, the empowered material would automatically break.
Tony hadn't yet figured out whether it was because the material enduring the Void Power was too weak, or for some other reason.
However, his Iron Man Armor could also temporarily gain stronger performance by being empowered with Void Power.
He named that mode Void Mode.
But now, the performance of the Iron Man Armor, which had been updated to the forty-fifth generation, was enough for him to deal with many enemies.
So normally, Iron Man didn't need to use Void Mode, and he wasn't too worried about burning through money frantically.
The third was that he had begun to move towards financial freedom in the Universe.
In just one or two years, he would definitely have enough money to transport large quantities of materials and elements that were scarce on Blue Star back.
The fourth was that, through the special training from Renoli and others, his control over his own power had become more precise.
Even without the Iron Man Armor, Tony's combat power was very strong.
It could be said that the plan was proceeding very smoothly, moving towards the goals he had set before coming to the Universe.
However, thinking about returning to Blue Star, he would have to tighten his belt and always wear the Iron Man Armor to appear in public.
Tony couldn't help but feel a little depressed; if only he knew Void Magic like Harvey, he could transform himself and change his face, making his actions more convenient.
For this, he actually went to ask Harvey, but Harvey said that his control over Void Power was too poor, and even if he wanted to teach him, he couldn't.
However, thinking that hiding his identity was only temporary, Tony didn't feel as depressed.
"Mr. Tony, a new order has arrived."
"This time, it totals 2.4 billion, and 1.2 billion has already been paid as a down payment."
"I heard you're going back to Blue Star in two months, aren't you?"
"Will you be able to complete the final procedures when you're not here?"
This day, Sonia proactively contacted Tony.
A month had passed since Mr. Tony delivered the goods.
After various tests, the other party highly praised the Gravity Device made by Mr. Tony.
Not only could it allow a medium-sized battleship to achieve different gravity modes in different areas.
It could also automatically adapt and change gravity according to the environment, and most importantly, it could release a gravity field directly around the battleship's environment.
It could help the battleship achieve more precise acceleration and deceleration; it could be said to be the pinnacle of Gravity Device design.
If one wanted to buy a Gravity Device of this level, it would cost at least eight to ten million, and one would also have to curry favor with the manufacturing company to possibly buy some.
However, the Gravity Device made by Tony Stark was fully functional, inexpensive, and most importantly, his attitude was not arrogant at all; the production period after placing an order was also very short, and there was no shoddy work to deceive people.
Unlike when they bought before, even if they were willing to pay, the other party would drag their feet and delay delivery.
Occasionally, some products would have defects, and you couldn't complain; if you complained, the other party wouldn't sell to you.
"Of course, I just need to create a dedicated smart AI to help with the subsequent processing."
Tony heard these words, looked up at Sonia, and nodded.
Since he was going back to Blue Star, he would naturally take Jarvis back with him; it was impossible to leave Jarvis here.
"How long will you be gone when you go back?"
"I'll note down the time; if it's for a long period, I'll prepare a list for you to review."
Once you confirm the accounts are correct, I'll transfer the payment to you."
Sonia said upon hearing this.
"I'm not sure yet, but it should be at least a few months."
"As for the list, you don't need to worry; you are Mr. Kassadin's housekeeper, I trust you."
Tony said with a smile upon hearing this.
When he would return to the Universe ultimately depended on Pepper's opinion.
However, after a year apart, Pepper would definitely want him to stay with her for a while before she would let him go.
"Even if Mr. Tony trusts me, this is a matter of work."
"And the amount involved is not small, so it's better to be clear."
Sonia shook her head slightly upon hearing this, speaking with a serious attitude.
"Okay, I'll look at the list before settling then."
Tony saw Sonia's serious demeanor, glanced at Harvey, and seeing no reaction from Harvey, he could only nod.
"Mr. Kassadin, will you visit Blue Star then?"
Immediately, Tony looked at Harvey and asked.
He said "visit" and not "return" because, for the people of the Void God Cult, no one knew where Mr. Kassadin actually came from.
He naturally wouldn't make such a low-level mistake in these conversations.
"Hmm, I should go and have some fun then."
Harvey nodded upon hearing this.
2011 was when Captain America was revived, and it was also approaching the time of the Avengers' first assembly; how could he not go back?
Sonia, listening nearby, heard that Mr. Kassadin was going to Blue Star and knew that Mr. Kassadin would also be leaving for a period of time; although she felt a little reluctant, she didn't say anything.
