Victor merely thought about the "Anti-Superman Armor" issue for a moment before dismissing it.
Even if Tony wanted to snipe Superman like Old Master Wayne, he would need Kryptonite.
Otherwise, Victor's only weakness is low magic resistance. Could Tony abandon his armor for magic and become a second Doctor Strange?
Forget about Tony being unwilling; it's a question of whether the boiled egg (referring to the Ancient One) would even accept him.
Understanding the stakes, Felicia also arrived with the car.
As a personal assistant, she wisely kept quiet, not saying much, and sat silently in the passenger seat, acting like air.
The journey was silent.
Returning to the living room of their villa, Wanda and her brother Pietro were both seated inside.
Seeing Victor arrive, Pietro stood up to greet him.
He said in a joking tone, "Hey, brother, you secretly went to see Tony Stark without a word. Didn't I tell you Tony is my idol? Come on, next time you absolutely have to take me with you!"
How much truth is spoken in jest?
Victor smiled and nodded, though he naturally didn't believe it in his heart.
Even if I didn't know your enmity with Tony, what's so admirable about that playboy? Is it because he's rich? This Young Master is also very rich now, alright.
"How about it? If you're not satisfied with the rooms on the first floor, why not stay on the second floor?" Victor asked.
Pietro was clearly tempted.
He glanced at his unmoving sister, and the look of temptation immediately vanished. He sighed, "No, I guess I'm just a good brother."
Victor chuckled in response, then changed the subject and asked, "I'm going to sunbathe, want to join?"
As he spoke,
Victor's gaze uncontrollably drifted towards Wanda, and the sensation of carrying her in his arms like a princess resurfaced in his mind.
Tsk tsk, it must be at least 38E, right?
Yet, Wanda's waist was relatively slender, completely lacking the large frame of other 38E women, perfectly embodying the ultimate combination of a wasp waist, full hips, and large breasts.
If she wore a swimsuit to sunbathe... Victor couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.
Of course.
On the surface, he concealed it very well, his gaze touching Wanda for only a moment before retracting, appearing to be nothing more than a polite invitation.
Naturally,
Wanda politely declined, her little face still flushed when she refused, looking very cute.
It could be pretty much confirmed that she was a virgin.
As for Pietro, he happily agreed.
How could he get close to his great enemy Tony without building a good relationship with Victor?
Victor didn't mind.
Anyway, he just lay down on the beach chair and then fell into a dream, quietly enjoying the lazy life of constantly recharging, strengthening, and amplifying his telekinesis just by sunbathing.
Building connections?
Come on, try to connect while sleeping.
Victor enjoyed himself.
Pietro, however, suffered.
He didn't have the BUG Bloodline that made him stronger by sunbathing, nor had his powers even activated. He was just a genuine ordinary person and didn't know how to use sunscreen.
After sunbathing for a whole morning, he had darkened by several shades.
But this guy was also a determined sort, resolutely sacrificing himself to accompany the Young Master. He sunbathed with Victor for another afternoon, and even with the ample sunscreen provided by Felicia later, he still started peeling from the sunburn.
At the dinner table that evening, he was constantly gritting his teeth and sucking in cold air; he was truly sunburned to the point of peeling.
Wanda watched him with great distress, occasionally giving Victor a resentful look.
Victor looked innocent.
He was asleep at the time and had no idea Pietro was enduring it. After all, he was a grown man; he should have known when to stop.
He could only ask the private chef to make Pietro a cold noodle dish, so he could slurp it whenever he felt pain.
Releasing pain and filling his stomach at the same time—perfect!
After dinner,
Victor, feeling quite energetic in the moonlit night, suggested driving out to explore Los Angeles.
In Pietro's condition, riding in a car was out of the question; he should just stay home and lie down.
Wanda also said she wouldn't go out, wanting to stay by her brother's side to take care of him... even though she looked very tempted.
Victor naturally couldn't leave Wanda and her brother at home, so the shopping plan had to be canceled.
Just as he was thinking of finding some game to pass the night, the Platform notified him of a private message from Raphael.
"OK, since you're all not planning to go out, I'll be busy for now. If you need anything, just tell Hardy."
After giving instructions, Victor turned and returned to the master bedroom on the second floor, then unhurriedly opened the chat window.
[Raphael: A merchant from the Douluo Dalu Plane has entrusted me to relay a message: if you acquire any Infinity Stones, they can provide you with a custom forging service for free. The usual price for this service is a minimum of one a-rank voucher and corresponding plane points.]
Huh?
A custom forging service worth an a-rank voucher, given for free?
What's the purpose?
Is the Douluo Dalu Plane the Douluo Dalu (Soul Land) I remember?
Confused, I searched the Douluo Dalu (Soul Land) plane shop.
It sold various "Martial Soul Bloodlines," "Modified Tang Sect Hidden Weapons," "Xuantian Gong," "Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track," and "Purple Demon Eye," but nothing related to forging.
Confused, I replied to Raphael.
[Victor: I can't find any "custom forging" products. Why is it free? What exactly does it do?]
He didn't ask why the other party didn't contact him directly.
As a first-level merchant, Victor could only contact two BUG-contact people; others were temporarily out of reach for communication.
The other side quickly replied, and uncharacteristically "talked a lot."
[Raphael: No problem, I'll explain it to you one by one.]
[Raphael: First, "custom forging" belongs to the special category {Other}, which requires a level six merchant to unlock. It's normal that you can't find it.]
[Raphael: Then, the function of "custom forging" can be understood as: if you provide Infinity Stones, the other party will forge them into your ideal concrete form. The "super battle suit" was forged by them.]
[Raphael: As for why it's free, it's because the other party is stuck at the A-rank "Plane" and is now trying to advance from "Plane" to S-rank "Universe." They need close contact with Materials containing Origin aura from an S-rank or higher Universe to achieve Breakthrough.]
[Raphael: Any other questions?]
After such a "long winded explanation," if Raphael said he hadn't received any remuneration from the other party, Victor wouldn't believe it.
He carefully processed the information in the message.
Victor had always wondered why his was called the Marvel Universe, Raphael's was called the DC Universe, but the Lord of the Rings was the "Lord of the Rings Plane," and Royce's was the "Resident Evil Plane."
Now, seizing the opportunity to get information for free, Victor naturally wouldn't be polite.
[Victor: Only S-rank or higher Planes are qualified to be called a "Universe"; Planes below S-rank are just Small Worlds?]
