Stark's father, Howard, had studied the Rubik's Cube decades ago, and invented the Ark Reactor through inspiration from that thing.

Like Howard Stark, he is also a scientist and has inherited his curiosity about the unknown. With Stark's nature, when he sees a strange object of the level of the Infinity Gem, he will inevitably burst out with great curiosity and want to study it.

As for why he knew that Shi Xiaolei had the Infinity Gems, but he didn't ask him for a chance to borrow something from Shi Xiaolei to study it...

One is because he has witnessed the trouble caused by the infinite stone.

The Red Skull used the energy of the Rubik's Cube to develop weapons and caused countless tragedies, which happened during World War II. Because it happened before Stark was born, he didn't catch up, so I won't mention it here. The reason why the impression of 'infinity gems equal trouble' formed in his mind was mainly because of the alien invasion incident caused by the previous superstar.

The opponent opened a portal across the starry sky by activating the energy of the cosmic Rubik's Cube, and came directly to the earth from the distant depths of the universe. Afterwards, the superstar caused such a big mess with only one person's power, and it was also because she held a mind gem in her hand, and used the power of that thing to strengthen her original mind control ability.

In addition, at the moment before the end of the war, Shi Xiaolei, who is Stark's friend, was suddenly hit, enveloped by the energy erupting from the gem, and instantly teleported to the depths of the universe...

I personally experienced that battle, and witnessed Shi Xiaolei's disappearance... To be honest, that scene at that time really left a lot of shock in Stark's heart.

And his awe of the infinite gemstones also came from here.

Secondly, it was because Shi Xiaolei had emphasized to him more than once how dangerous the Infinity Stone was.

It doesn't matter what Shi Xiaolei's original intention is. The key is to stand on Stark's standpoint. Hearing him reiterate again and again, some thoughts will inevitably arise-why keep mentioning this to me? Perhaps, he was worried that I would cause some trouble, so he woke me up in advance, and hoped that I would not have the idea of ​​playing infinite gems?

Not a person who likes to embarrass his friends, and Pepper happened to be pregnant with a baby at that time, which greatly distracted Stark's attention...

All in all, due to various reasons, Stark did not open his mouth to ask Shi Xiaolei for the Infinity Stones, and started researching them in order to satisfy his thirst for knowledge.

And now.

"Huh? What did you say? Did I hear wrong?" Suddenly hearing Shi Xiaolei said that he planned to give the Reality Gem to him as a wedding gift, Stark couldn't help but widen his eyes, showing a very surprised expression.

"Do you need me to repeat it again?" Looking at Stark with a smile on his face, Shi Xiaolei raised his eyebrows: "I said... If you plan to propose to Pepper and have a proper wedding, I might put the reality The gems are packaged and given to you as a congratulatory gift."

"Why?" Stark asked inexplicably: "Aren't you afraid of causing trouble after that thing falls into my hands? Dude, you didn't have this attitude before. It's because of what, let you Have you changed your mind?"

"Please note, what I just said was 'maybe'." Raising his hand and scratching his head, Shi Xiaolei's face showed a trace of confusion: "What you said really made me hesitate. But..."

The root cause of the idea to hand over the Reality Gem to Stark for safekeeping was the riot caused by Yolanda.

Whether Hela and Thor siblings, or 2b who has evolved into a silicon-based life, they can easily protect themselves in front of the spaceships driven by slaves. Whether it's the energy bullets from the muzzle or the electromagnetic waves released from the spaceship, they can't pose much threat to them.

But Stark, who was wearing a steel armor, couldn't do it with ease. Especially when the enemy releases electromagnetic waves and launches an attack similar to EMP, he will always feel as if he is stuck in a quagmire, and his movements suddenly become sluggish.

The chip equipped on the armor has limited computing power, and Jarvis's ability cannot be fully utilized, which of course accounts for part of the responsibility. But it is undeniable that the performance of the battle armor itself is really not good enough... To be more precise, that thing is enough to deal with all kinds of weapons made by using earth technology, and it can face all kinds of attacks caused by alien technology The means, but they can only deal with 70% to 80%, and they can't deal with it perfectly for the time being.

Not to mention how embarrassing it is, but the slightly passive appearance is clearly visible. Sensing Stark's powerlessness, Shi Xiaolei came up with an idea at that time, and felt that it was necessary to help him improve his strength.

In addition, the location is on the planet Saka, and it has only been a day or two since the Reality Gem was taken out.

Of course, one of Shi Xiaolei's first ideas was to hand over the Reality Gem to Stark, and use it to increase his personal strength.

Of course, that was just Shi Xiaolei's momentary impulse. After the battle ended and the situation calmed down, Shi Xiaolei, who regained his sanity again, felt a little hesitant in his heart, and felt that it was not very safe to hand over the Reality Gem to Stark for use.

"Don't blame me for thinking too much, you also know how dangerous the Infinity Stone is." Looking at Stark, Shi Xiaolei said what was in his heart: "As far as our friendship is concerned, I'd be happy to use the Reality Stone I will leave it to you, but considering that you are a scientific researcher, you may not be able to control your inner impulse and cause some trouble during the research process, so I am a little afraid to hand it over to you."

"I understand." Stark nodded.

"However..." After a short pause, Shi Xiaolei continued: "Thinking about it from another angle, it seems a bit wasteful to seal up the gems directly. After all, they are infinite gems. There are only six rare gems in the entire universe. precious."

"uh-huh."

"If someone can exert the effect of the gem...I mean using the infinite gem on the premise of ensuring safety and no mistakes. Then, not only the user himself, but the entire earth may get a lot of benefits."

"Um."

"Look, count the space gem that I made into the pendant. I already have three gems in my hand." Taking out the pendant under the neckline and shaking it at Stark, Shi Xiaolei said: "When there were only two before, I used one to hide one, and the ratio of those who were used to those that were not used was exactly one to one. With this ratio, I don't think it's too wasteful."

"But what about now? There are three gems in total, and only one of them has been used. The number of sealed gems is double that of the ones used. This feeling... I don't know how to say it. In short, my heart always It’s a little mindful, a kind of annoyance that I can’t make the most of it.”

"Um."

"If someone can help me share it, keep one of them, and use its ability under the premise of ensuring safety..." Looking at Stark, Shi Xiaolei unconsciously raised his hand and scratched his head: "Although I still I have some scruples, and I am a little worried that you will lose control of yourself and make something wrong, but I have to admit that you are indeed a good candidate."

"After all, the ability of the Reality Gem is rather special. How powerful it can be depends on the imagination of the user. The brighter the brain, the more suitable it is to be its owner. Conversely, if a stupid People who use it may not even be able to use one percent of its performance."

"If you have a good brain, your imagination is rich enough..." Shi Xiaolei continued after glancing at Stark: "The children's imagination is rich enough, but considering that they don't have common sense and don't know what is proper, so... You know."

"I don't dare to make a decision to hand over the gem to you ~lightnovelpub.net~ for the same reason. Sometimes, you who are engaged in scientific research are as innocent as ignorant children... Children will make troubles because They don't know what pre-judgment is, and they don't think about the seriousness of the consequences before doing it. And those of you who are engaged in scientific research will selectively ignore the risks caused by failure in order to satisfy your thirst for knowledge and creativity. Although the starting point is different, the final result is the same.”

He was still hesitating in his heart, and the thoughts in his head were a bit chaotic, which caused Shi Xiaolei's words to be affected.

It feels a bit confusing, and it is a little difficult to understand from the standpoint of the listener.

"To sum it up..." Fortunately, Stark has a flexible mind and is good at sorting out and analyzing: "It's just that you think it's a pity to seal up all the gems, and you want to find a suitable person to be the user of the gems. Then, choose Choose it, I think I am more suitable among acquaintances. As a result, I am a little worried that I will not be able to control my desires, and some impulsiveness will cause some trouble, right?"

"That's right." Shi Xiaolei nodded, first gave Stark a thumbs up, then put on a serious expression, staring at him firmly: "In my opinion, you are indeed the most suitable Candidates. Of course, the premise is that you can control yourself and make sure you don't mess around. Man, can you do it?"

"Well..." After pondering for a moment, Stark smiled wryly and shook his head: "To be honest, I'm not 100% sure. You know, among the accidents caused by the failure of the experiment, only a very small part is The operator is too greedy. In other words, even if I can always remind myself and promise not to make those attempts, I still cannot completely avoid the kind of results you are worried about."
