Chapter 3: Building the Armor! Sokovia!
Jiang Bai quickly saw Martin, who was directing workers in landscaping, after stepping out of the Villa. He slowly spoke when he reached Martin's side.
He was preparing to leave 100 million U.S. dollars and then buy all of Stark Industries' stock. Martin looked at Jiang Bai with a confused expression after hearing his words.
Acquiring Stark Industries' stock in this situation would be a complete waste of money. Even Stark Industries itself wasn't investing funds into the stock market. This was clearly a losing proposition! But after seeing Jiang Bai's determined gaze,
Helpless, he could only do as Jiang Bai said, though he did note the remark about Tony Stark's return. He gave Jiang Bai a meaningful look before heading into the Villa, ready to begin the process of buying Stark Industries' stock.
Jiang Bai didn't care about Martin's gaze. He revealed a faint smile and followed him into the Villa. While Martin could be trusted, he didn't plan on telling him about getting the System or what would happen in the future.
Not to mention, this matter was too shocking; if it got out, it would definitely cause trouble! He returned to the sofa and sat down, casually picking up a skewer of lamb to eat. He quietly waited for Grey Wolf's reply. With the lamb skewers paving the way, he believed Grey Wolf would continue to trade with him.
Grey Wolf: [What kind of trade do you need? I want more lamb!]
Jiang Bai: [I know Grey Wolf, you are a scientist, so I need you to help me build a suit of armor. If you can do it, I can give you a fat lamb!]
Grey Wolf: [Deal! Are there any special requirements for the armor?]
Jiang Bai: [Here are my body stats. As for the requirements, you can decide. I trust your ability.]
Grey Wolf: [Okay, I understand!]
After seeing Grey Wolf's reply, Jiang Bai's mouth curved into a smile, and then he began communicating with Grey Wolf! As for Grey Wolf's question about requirements, he directly kicked the problem back to Grey Wolf. With Grey Wolf's ability, the armor he built would certainly not be bad.
After all, if he made demands, he wasn't sure what stage Grey Wolf was currently in, so he could only let him decide how to build it. Otherwise, if it were the S1 season, would he now demand a Wolf Castle spaceship?
On the other side, after receiving Jiang Bai's reply, Grey Wolf immediately ran into his laboratory to start building the armor. He had given all those lamb skewers to his wife! To get more lamb, he was very willing to trade with the other party.
"Grey Wolf, where did you get those lamb skewers?"
"Wife! Those were given by someone. I don't know his name, but he's willing to exchange lamb for my inventions! So I'm making an invention for him now. Don't worry, Wife, I definitely won't let you and Little Grey go hungry!"
"Hmm~ Then you go for it. Little Grey has just been born, and both of us need to replenish our nutrition!"
"Okay, Wife, you go back to the bedroom to rest first. The laboratory isn't suitable for you and Little Grey to stay!"
After Red Wolf left the laboratory holding Little Grey, Grey Wolf's eyes became determined. Now that he had a channel to exchange inventions for lamb, he definitely wouldn't give it up! As Red Wolf's husband and Little Grey's father, he couldn't let them starve with him.
Looking at the design drawings on the table, he began manufacturing with full motivation. Various materials appeared out of thin air in the laboratory. Grey Wolf, holding a hammer, began to strike continuously, then changed angles, or used a welding torch to weld.
After putting all the lamb into the System Space, he waited for the armor Grey Wolf would build for him. His heart was no longer tense; he slowly exhaled and relaxed considerably. He picked up the remote control and started changing channels, stopping on a scene after a while.
"Sokovia is currently under attack by Terrorists, and even Sokovia's capital is no exception! The government is powerless to stop it..."
"Sokovia is almost completely falling into the hands of Terrorists...."
Watching the news report about Sokovia being attacked by Terrorists, Jiang Bai seemed to recall something in his mind! Suddenly, Jiang Bai stood up abruptly. He remembered, Sokovia was the hometown of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver in the Marvel movies.
And the two nearly died because of Stark Industries' missiles, which also made them resent Tony Stark! In the future, after awakening their respective abilities at the HYDRA Base, they began to help HYDRA deal with the Avengers.
However, thinking about Quicksilver's performance, Jiang Bai was speechless. Quicksilver could actually be killed by a bullet! It should be known that Quicksilver in the Mutant Universe was fast enough to directly change the trajectory of bullets, so how could he be killed by a bullet? Now that there are Mutants in this World, then Scarlet Witch: Wanda and Quicksilver: Pietro, would they still be in Sokovia?
He just didn't know if Wanda and Pietro in this World were from the comics or the movies! After all, Pietro's ability in the movies was indeed a bit unsatisfactory. Jiang Bai, however, had some thoughts about both of them. Whether in movies or comics, Wanda's power was terrifying.
If they were still in Sokovia now, he might be able to rescue them first, which would also be a safeguard for the future! Wanda, with Chaos Magic, in a certain Single Universe, with one sentence, directly made all super-powered individuals in that entire Single Universe become ordinary people.
Even Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One was like this, so Jiang Bai planned to go to Sokovia, but it wasn't the right time yet. As an ordinary person, even if he hired bodyguards, he wasn't sure if he would be affected in Sokovia. He planned to wait for the armor Grey Wolf was building!
At the very least, he had to ensure his own safety; otherwise, everything would be empty talk. A war zone is full of dangers; a missile could drop right in front of him at any moment. Without thorough preparation, he would not go to Sokovia.
...Afghanistan
"Where am I? What is this?"
"If you don't want to die, I advise you not to pull that wire, otherwise, the missile fragments in your blood vessels will enter your heart with your blood, and then you will die here."
"Shit, where is this?"
"This is their Base. They captured you. I performed the surgery on you. You've been lying down for so long, you must be hungry. Do you want something to eat?"
"I swear, I've never seen this kind of food in my life. Is this something a person can eat?"
In a cave within a valley, Tony Stark slowly opened his eyes, seeing the uneven rock walls of the mountain.
