"Jarvis, list all the materials and quantities required for the tools, and I'll go to the Star Race to collect them tomorrow."
Getting good news made Tony's mood even better.
After giving the command, Tony shut down the monitor and leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling.
Jarvis was fast; within 10 seconds, the data was compiled.
"Sir, it has been sent to your personal terminal."
"Hmm..." Tony hummed, closed his eyes, and feigned sleep, lost in thought.
"Sir, is Stark Industries going to expand into the universe?"
Jarvis's voice sounded again.
It was a remarkably intelligent AI system.
After receiving help from the symbiote and further developing his brain, Tony had upgraded Jarvis first.
Before the upgrade, Jarvis could already engage in civilized conversations with Tony and even make jokes.
Hearing Jarvis's question, Tony, with his eyes closed, wore a confident smile.
"Of course, Jarvis!"
"Blue Star is no longer enough for us to explore. There are basically no more secrets for us here."
"Next, you will follow me and embark on a new journey..."
Was Jarvis useful? Of course, he was. He had been diligently assisting Tony.
Whether in life, work, or even combat, Jarvis made things incredibly effortless for him.
How could Tony not bring Jarvis along for the journey into the universe?
"I am honored, sir..."
Jarvis's voice rang out, with a hint of an almost imperceptible emotion.
Tony couldn't detect it, but if Lin Feng were present, he would surely notice.
It was an emotional expression akin to human excitement...
Tony remained oblivious to this subtle emotion and stood up to leave.
"Prioritize Project Star One as the highest level. All other ongoing projects, except for the Symbiote Legion, are to be slowed down, then halted."
"I intend to venture into the universe within this year!"
...
Three days passed.
Lin Feng checked Kamar-Taj daily, finding nothing unusual.
He only saw the Ancient One sipping tea, and the disciples practicing magic in the courtyard. Everything was as normal as could be.
This morning, after another glance at Kamar-Taj, Lin Feng stopped paying attention.
There was still no activity, but Lin Feng planned to visit after dinner.
Wang Xinyong, being the Cosmic Cube, wouldn't tease him without reason.
Could something have happened that even the Ancient One couldn't detect?
Ah, whatever!
Lin Feng dismissed the thought, picked up a beach chair, and went outside.
His daily routine: sunbathing!
A beach chair, beachwear, shorts, and a pair of cool sunglasses he made himself.
Besides chatting about life with Susan, sunbathing was the most relaxing activity.
Lin Feng lay on the beach chair, exhaled comfortably, and felt very pleased.
Everything in his life was moving in a positive direction.
Ling Lu had recently sent him information about the prime universe.
In the prime universe, Blue Star, as Lin Feng had predicted, was soaring in the East, having fully entered a phase of rapid development.
However, the technology Lin Feng had provided hadn't been fully understood yet, so there was no immediate need to introduce new technologies.
His clones were also doing well, diligently climbing the ranks without being discovered, which would likely bring Lin Feng some unexpected surprises in the future.
As for Blue Star in the Marvel universe, there were no significant threats, at least for several years.
Lin Feng admired himself for nipping many potential threats in the bud, or rather, before they even had a chance to sprout, he had already acted.
Now he owned a planet, with a group of beautiful ladies on it.
Lin Feng had even considered bringing the entire Star Race planet with him when he returned to the prime universe.
After all, the Star Race's location was perfect for retirement.
When he was tired one day, he would retire and live on the Star Race planet with Susan and the others.
How wonderful!
Lin Feng closed his eyes, a smile on his lips.
But whenever Lin Feng started to focus on sunbathing, something always happened.
By noon, an discordant sound reached Lin Feng's ears.
Zzzt zzzt zzzt~~ It was a familiar sound, one Lin Feng knew all too well.
Hearing the sound, Lin Feng felt a pang in his head and opened his eyes, turning his head to look.
A familiar color, a familiar portal, and a familiar... bald head!
Alright, he hadn't gone to Kamar-Taj yet, and the bald sorcerer had found him via a portal.
The Ancient One's expression was more serious than usual, his smile gone.
"Lin Feng, please come with me."
So direct, so very direct. He used to at least say hello, but now he didn't even bother...
Alright, alright, Lin Feng stood up reluctantly, too lazy to even complain.
He didn't bother changing his clothes either. He pushed his sunglasses up, and walked into the portal.
It had been so peaceful this morning. What new mess had arisen now?
On the other side of the portal was the Ancient One's unchanging cottage.
As soon as Lin Feng arrived, he saw three people. His steps faltered, then he pretended not to see them and promptly turned to go home.
The Ancient One, with quick reflexes, reached out and immediately canceled the portal, cutting off Lin Feng's escape route...
Lin Feng: ........
"Sigh..." With a sigh, Lin Feng turned around, put on a smile, and sat down.
"King of Asgard, Queen of Asgard, good afternoon."
"Oh, and Lady Hela..."
Frankly, he didn't understand this group. Otherwise, he wouldn't have tried to turn and leave.
What was this? Frigga and Odin were dressed like farmers from a rural ranch.
And Hela was wearing tattered clothes, with her left arm bandaged and in a sling.
What on earth was this? Anyone would be confused.
Hela sneered, wanting to turn her head away from Lin Feng, but the bandage on her arm was so thick and amateurish, whoever had done it made it difficult for her to even turn her head.
Hmm, it looked quite comical... Lin Feng figured her father must have broken her arm.
However, her father also had a new injury on his chin. Truly a loving father and son duo.
"Greetings, Lord Lin Feng! We meet again!"
Old Odin, with a benevolent smile, greeted Lin Feng warmly, looking like a true old farmer.
"Lord Lin Feng, were you enjoying yourself at the beach?" Frigga also greeted him, noticing Lin Feng's attire.
It was very casual, as if he were a tourist who had just been at the beach moments ago.
Lin Feng's face twitched.
Superman really didn't want to talk right now...
This family of three looked like they had fled to Blue Star.
Lin Feng keenly sensed trouble.
Well, perhaps not very dangerous, but extremely melodramatic and bothersome, the kind he didn't want to deal with.
