Perhaps it is because of the arrogance of a genius that he does not want to admit that his skills are inferior to others. Or maybe a project has already been established, and the next generation of steel armor is being developed with the goal of 'single-machine breakthrough through the atmosphere', and plans to fly a few more times to collect data... Ever since Shi Xiaolei asked Gu Yi to help build a fixed-point portal, Stark only Borrowed a few times. Most of the time, he wears his steel armor or travels between the continental United States and the Hawaiian Islands in his own private jet.

And today...

All he wanted was to meet Shi Xiaolei earlier and have a good chat with him about 'going to Asgard', Stark subconsciously gave up his usual reserve and used the portal again.

From hanging up the phone to appearing in front of Shi Xiaolei, it took less than two minutes.

"Is it necessary?" Looking at the shell armor controlled by Jarvis to fly into the sky, and then at Stark standing in front of him in a short Hawaiian style suit, Shi Xiaolei shook his head dumbfoundingly: "Dude, You are too impatient."

"The energy core mounted on the 'Albatross' is about to be replaced." Stark shrugged: "Just put it back and change a battery by the way."

"Are you sure you didn't want to hurry?"

"It's not that far from the main control center to the port area, why should I..." Under Shi Xiaolei's teasing gaze, Stark finally couldn't help laughing: "Well, I admit, I just can't wait, can you What to do with me."

"What else can I do, please drink a drink." Tilting his head to signal Stark to follow, Shi Xiaolei turned and walked to the shade of the tree: "Whatever you want to drink, take it yourself, and soak it in the ice bucket."

He conveniently took a can of drink from the bucket full of ice-water mixture, pulled the ring and took a few sips for himself. After a long hiccup, Stark put the half-drunk soda can on the table again with a look of disgust: "What is this, why does it taste so weird? Is there any beer, I have to rinse my mouth."

"You have a lot to do." He picked up a freshly cut iced watermelon from the tray on the table and handed it over, and then glanced at the soda can that Stark put on the table, Shi Xiaolei couldn't help laughing: "Don't take so many original flavors, but take a can of cherry flavored Coke, haha, you are quite sloppy."

"You said this thing is Coke?" After taking a bite of the watermelon, Stark picked up the can again with a look of surprise.

"Although the taste is weird, it is indeed Coke." Pointing to the maid who was helping Kangna clean her small tree house not far away, Shi Xiaolei introduced: "During the time I am not at home, girls They're all quite free. To pass the time, a few girls are obsessed with oil and earth, and when they have nothing to do, they always hang on to the Internet to watch live broadcasts."

"Girls, they are very curious and like snacks... I don't know which UP owner's review video they watched. The girls have recently ordered a lot of weird snacks and drinks from the Internet. Among them are the ones you just tasted. The can of cherry-flavored Coke. It was newly developed by the beverage company to suit the tastes of the islanders, and it has not yet been distributed in the United States.”

"..." Stark was speechless: "Is the taste of the islanders so weird?"

"Who knows, anyway, I'm not used to drinking this new flavor of cola." Shi Xiaolei shrugged: "In fact, including the zero-degree series that uses other ingredients to replace sugar, I also find it weird. Habit."

"Coke without sugar is evil." Stark echoed with sympathy.

"That's right. If you really want to pursue health, isn't it good to eat fruit? What kind of drink should you drink?" Shi Xiaolei gave a thumbs up: "My Coke doesn't contain sugar, it's healthier to drink... Let me tell you, I would choose that kind of Coke Most people must have the problem of self-deception."

He planned to continue to agree, but suddenly remembered what Pepper had said to the waiter when he went out for a meal.

Feeling a bit inappropriate, Stark stepped on the foot brake, and changed the subject a little awkwardly: "Uh, what, let's talk about something else. Dude, tell me quickly, what you said on the phone just now' Going to Asgard', what the **** is going on?"

"Oh, you said this..."

And so, blah blah, blah blah, Shi Xiaolei took a few minutes to tell Stark the ins and outs of the matter.

In the end.

"So, it's not up to me whether you can go with me or not. Do you understand?" Looking at his friend, Shi Xiaolei spread his hands with an expression of helplessness: "Although it's just a competition, it's also an invitation to fight. Carefully Come to think of it, it's a bit different from inviting a friend over to your house. I mean, it's a question of whether I'm a serious guest. Bringing a friend? Man, I'm serious, man It may not give me this face."

"Just ask and you'll know. Big deal, I'll be your assistant for a while, and I'll say I'm here to help you~lightnovelpub.net~ Stark proposed a plan: "Besides, it's not a life-and-death fight." Instead, go to the arena to compete... How many people stand on their side to help cheer? What about you? It can't be that there are no supporters. "

"Are you sure?" Looking at his friend, Shi Xiaolei laughed.

"Isn't it just a fight in the end?" Stark said with a relaxed face: "As long as they don't restrict the type of equipment. I mean, there is no requirement to use cold weapons. If steel armor can be used as equipment... yes Now, how is their strength? Not all of them are like Hela, especially able to fight, right?"

"That's not likely. Well, I'm guessing..." After thinking for a moment, Shi Xiaolei expressed his judgment: "The combat effectiveness of the few of them should be only a little higher than that of the US team. As for ordinary Asgardian soldiers, apart from physical The quality is better, and the combat skills may not be as good as elite-level agents."

"Coulson like that?"

"Yes." Shi Xiaolei nodded: "If Coulson's physique can reach the average level of Asgardians, I can guarantee that he must be stronger than ordinary Asgardian soldiers."

"Then there is no hesitation." Stark clapped his hands: "That's it."

"Eh? What's the deal?"

"If they don't refuse, no, they definitely won't refuse... Anyway, I'll make a decision this time." Stark stood up while throwing the gnawed watermelon rind into the trash can: "We still have to It will take a few days to leave, right? It seems that I should hurry up and organize my equipment."

"...Man, you, do you want to stop thinking about it?"

"What are you thinking about? It's a rare opportunity to experience an alien civilization in person. With my personality...hehe, do you think I will miss this opportunity?"

"All right."
