Chapter 318

If this name makes you feel it's not very realistic, then understand it as "code," the source code that builds the real world..."

"Whoa~"

Tony nodded thoughtfully, "I understand it when you put it that way."

Strange whispered a reminder, "Tony, don't disturb the Venerable's explanation."

"No matter."

Ancient One smiled at Stark, "Do you have any thoughts?"

Tony began to draw inferences: "Just like I build various instruments, recite spells, forge shields... sharp weapons... or something, you know, this is a metaphor... uh... to cast magic... but matter is conserved, I don't quite understand where the energy comes from."

"We collect energy..."

Ancient One gestured, and with a wave of her hand, formed a golden-orange magic circle, "... from other spaces in the multiverse."

Tony stared at the magic circle, somewhat mesmerized: "Wow~ multiverse..."

Beep—!

A ringtone interrupted him.

"Oh, sorry, taking a call."

He stood up and walked to the corner, answered the phone, 【Happy? What's the matter? I'm learning magic right now. You might not believe it, but magic really exists, and it's unexpectedly scientific.】

Happy: 【Alright Tony, magic really exists, but fire people who explode also exist.】

【What fire people?】

A few minutes later.

Tony walked to Ye Li's side and said in a serious voice: "I think I have to go back first. You let Strange and the others keep learning here."

Ye Li nodded.

He had already heard from his sister about the Extremis virus, and Tony was probably doing this for that.

Don't look at Iron Man as usually ruffian-like; his sense of responsibility is still stronger than his.

This time Tony didn't arrogantly declare war on terrorists in front of the media, so he shouldn't get his house demolished...

... probably.

Until two days later.

Ye Li casually opened the system's morning news channel to watch—

【Yesterday's News Column】

【Superhero "Black Cat" successfully eradicated the notorious Maggia gang in New York.

Gang leader—the vicious "Hammerhead" Joseph Harrow, was killed in the resistance...

Black Cat claimed to the public that it was an accidental killing, because she didn't expect the opponent to be so weak.

However, internet users seem more concerned about the pet that "Black Cat" has acquired.

According to experts, this pet is a mutated white cat, and some say it's a mutated white mouse.

The following are external links to internet comments:

"Your favorite Wade": 【This is definitely a mouse! The mouse tail I caught in a mousetrap yesterday looks just like it. Oh, speaking of that mouse, it stole my favorite burrito! I'm going to use my knife to stab it from its butt to the other end...】

"Liana is back": 【Nonsense! How could it be a mouse, this is clearly a cute kitty.】

".": 【Hehe... Black Cat... my Black Cat... I also want to be Black Cat's pet...】

"Summoning Fist in Attack Position": 【Don't generate electricity here, this is our club's Black Cat Goddess.】

【Why haven't I seen Black Spider for a long time! I want to be his pet!】

【That's not something you should want to be.】

【...】

【Today's News Column】

【Tony Stark declared war on the Mandarin in front of many media outlets. He claimed he was a coward and wanted to finish him off personally... and announced his home address...】

【...】

Seeing this, Ye Li shook his head; Iron Man was still courting death just like in the original trajectory.

... As expected of you... Tony.

As a bad friend, he sent Stark a text message—reminding him to prepare a few more sets of iron suits, and not to die holding onto that unfinished Mark 42 like in the original trajectory.

Then he didn't do anything else and continued to watch the news:

【Tomorrow's News Column】

【Dark Elves return, Malekith leads his army to descend on Greenwich... The Convergence, the Nine Realms align...】

【...】

【Dark Elves? So the Aether will appear soon...】

Ye Li remembered that for events with such a wide impact, defeating the villain leader would yield fixed extraordinary rewards, so he could go join in the fun... ===== CHAPTER 320 =====
