Zhou Xuan's eyelids twitched, interrupting Tony Stark's easily censored metaphor, and said:
"Multiple special threads are mixed and woven into clothing, and then tempered with high-temperature and low-temperature energy to create the final product."
"Wow, special threads, and tempered with opposing energies. So besides absorbing heat, it must have other functions, right?"
As he spoke, Tony Stark pulled hard at the clothes with both hands, finding that they didn't budge. He then rubbed them vigorously, and the clothes didn't even show a single wrinkle or deformation, immediately eliciting a silent gasp of amazement from him.
Zhou Xuan's eye twitched as he watched Tony Stark pulling and rubbing his clothes in various ways, and said:
"Its main functions are to resist the penetration and cutting of sharp blades, blunt force attacks, and energy impacts.
Heat absorption, insulation, and dust-free properties are just incidental effects."
After listening to Zhou Xuan, Tony Stark looked at the clothes with a gentle expression, shook his head in awe, and said:
"Oh, that sounds amazing. I should analyze it; maybe I can create a new type of armor..."
After murmuring for a while, Tony Stark turned his gaze back to Zhou Xuan.
Well, to be precise, it was Zhou Xuan's pants; his eyes seemed to glow green.
"Zhou, don't You think I'm missing a pair of pants besides the shirt? Otherwise, my body temperature will be unbalanced, and I'll get sick," Tony Stark said.
Zhou Xuan was startled by Tony Stark's lecherous gaze and took a step back, his right hand subconsciously gripping his pants.
Seeing Zhou Xuan's reaction, Tony Stark showed a lewd smile and slowly stepped forward, seemingly intending to take action by force.
His eyelids twitched, Zhou Xuan raised his hand to block, using his spiritual power to manipulate the Yuan Qi and restrain Tony Stark.
At this moment, Zhou Xuan felt that if he didn't resist, Tony Stark would probably pin him to the ground.
Tony Stark twisted his body, feeling as if he had fallen into mud, making his movements incredibly difficult.
"Oh, my God... Confinement? Is this your superpower? What's the principle, and where does the energy come from?" Tony Stark said, looking in surprise at the faint, shimmering circle of restraint around his body.
"It's just the manipulation of energy between Heaven and Earth by spirit, a small trick," Zhou Xuan said cautiously.
"Manipulating energy with spirit? That's incredible..."
Tony Stark mumbled. Then he noticed Zhou Xuan's wary gaze, and immediately his mouth twitched, a dramatic sadness appearing on his face as he said:
"Hey, Zhou, what are You guarding against me for? I told You before, I have absolutely no interest in men, in You. I'm interested in women. OK?"
"I know, Tony, but do You know? Your eyes were almost glowing green just now, it was too scary. I had to be on guard, lest You've already tackled me to the ground."
Zhou Xuan explained, then slowly withdrew the Yuan Qi restraint.
"It's not You who's charming, it's your pants that are too charming," Tony Stark said with a smirk, his lips curling.
"Oh, I won't take off my pants in front of a playboy like You, it's too easy to cause misunderstandings, but luckily I have spares."
Saying that, Zhou Xuan took out a shirt and pants from his bag, throwing the pants to Tony Stark and putting on the shirt himself.
After Tony Stark took the pants, he didn't rush to change, but instead asked Zhou Xuan:
"Can You tell me your story? I'm very curious about your abilities, and even more curious about traveling between Worlds."
As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Xuan without blinking, his expression full of seriousness.
Looking at Tony Stark's eyes, Zhou Xuan raised an eyebrow, knowing he had to say something. After a brief thought, he said:
"Tony, life contains infinite secrets; people only understand a very small part of it right now.
Perhaps You've also heard that some people possess superpowers."
Zhou Xuan spoke while observing Tony Stark's expression. When he saw little surprise, he understood that Tony was no stranger to superpowered individuals, or at least had some knowledge of them.
"As for my story, there's not much to tell.
In the original World, I was just an ordinary Chinese man, lucky enough to awaken a special ability that allowed me to travel across Worlds.
The first stop on my journey was a World where extraordinary powers were extremely prevalent.
In that World, after cultivating their bodies and minds, living beings could absorb energy from Heaven and Earth to strengthen themselves, becoming incredibly powerful and possessing unbelievable strength.
There, I experienced a wonderful journey and learned amazing kung fu; manipulating the energy between Heaven and Earth was just a part of it.
And Tony, your World is the second stop on my journey."
Zhou Xuan used plain words to indicate that he was just visiting this World for tourism and would leave once he had had enough fun.
After saying this, he shook his left hand, revealing a bracelet on his wrist. Then, with a flip of his palm, the bracelet emitted a stream of light, from which a straw hat emerged.
After showing off his spatial equipment, Zhou Xuan coolly put the straw hat on his head.
This is... spatial equipment??
Tony Stark's eyes flickered, his gaze fixed on the bracelet on Zhou Xuan's left hand, while he also speculated about the truthfulness of Zhou Xuan's earlier words.
He believed at most half of it.
First, his mind was inexplicably filled with a large amount of junk information, telling him that an otherworldly visitor had arrived and that he should guide him to integrate into the World.
The idea that the Universe is not unique, Tony Stark, like many scientists, had speculated about it, but there was too little information to know the answer.
Tony Stark was very skeptical of the authenticity of the sudden, inexplicable information that had appeared in his mind earlier.
As Zhou Xuan just said, there are some people in the World who possess special abilities. Through some encrypted files, he knew of many such beings.
Who knows if any of them have abilities like information transmission or consciousness manipulation.
However, given the vast amount of information, this possibility was small.
Only after truly meeting the otherworldly visitor did Tony discover that this otherworldly person, just as the information stated, although he had an Asian appearance, was indeed human in form and could even speak English.
He hadn't recognized him at first.
And regarding what Zhou Xuan said earlier, perhaps he was telling the truth.
And even if it was a lie, it didn't matter.
What was important was what Zhou Xuan, this otherworldly visitor, could bring him, what knowledge he could exchange from Zhou Xuan. That was the key; guarding against and investigating Zhou Xuan came after acquiring knowledge.
Mysticism and scientific technology are both applications after analyzing the rules of the World, just with different methods.
In the field of science, Tony Stark felt that his knowledge reserve was extremely rich. However, regarding extraordinary powers, he hadn't even stepped through the door.
Now, the sudden arrival of Zhou Xuan, who possessed extraordinary power, was a perfect entry point.
Tony Stark was confident that he could decipher the mysteries of the extraordinary from the knowledge and power Zhou Xuan provided, making himself even more powerful.
