Chapter 39

I saved you twice... oh no, if you count the Electro-man time, it's three times.

I think you should still owe me.

Hurry up and make the things I want.

If I have something later, I'll come to you again."

Tony didn't reply.

He couldn't reply either.

He could only shout in his heart—

Old friend! Can you install the furnace for me first! I'm about to gg!

Ahem... although it wasn't this tone, the meaning was roughly that.

Obadiah, this shrewd businessman, grasped the mystery in Ye Li's words and immediately promised.

"Black Spider, I can also provide the things you need Tony to do for you!

And I can do it better!"

He didn't ask what Ye Li needed, but first boasted, giving people a sense of reliable confidence.

Tony, in silence, panicked—he couldn't speak now, couldn't make conditions! This isn't fair!

He felt he had no friendship with Black Spider, and Black Spider might really defect to Obadiah.

When Tony was worried.

Obadiah was still endlessly trying to bribe Ye Li.

"As long as you withdraw from this matter, I can give you more things!

Wealth, power, beauties!

Everything is up to you!"

Tony also desperately tried to speak—I can too! Don't listen to his BB!!

After Obadiah finished speaking,

He looked at Ye Li confidently.

"How about it.

I don't think anyone can refuse these conditions; we will have more opportunities for cooperation in the future."

"You're so noisy."

Ye Li, however, grabbed his neck,

"Uh, you—"

Obadiah, who was lifted up, clawed at the iron-clamp-like arm, staring in disbelief!

Ye Li tilted his head.

"You seem to have gotten one thing wrong?"

"There is only one Tony Stark, but businessmen like you are everywhere..."

"You take yourself too seriously."

As Obadiah struggled desperately with his legs, Ye Li used his favorite execution style, snapping his cervical spine.

Although he had no grudge against Obadiah, since he had already made a move, such a petty person still needed to be dealt with.

Obadiah didn't die.

But he would be a vegetable for the rest of his life.

If Tony decided to spare his life.

The blue-glowing Arc Reactor spun once in Ye Li's hand before he shoved it back into Tony's chest.

Thump.

Ye Li gave it a light tap, and the Arc Reactor sank in, successfully connecting.

"Cough! Cough! ...Cough!!"

Tony coughed violently a few times before he could catch his breath.

He patted his chest and looked at Ye Li with resentment, "Buddy, could you be a little more gentle..."

"Cut the crap."

Ye Li said with a sour tone, "Where's the suit? Don't tell me you haven't finished it yet?"

"It's already done. I was just about to notify you to come over."

Tony operated a console with his weak body.

A platform rose not far away.

On it were several high-tech suits—not the Iron Man armor type, but the more form-fitting kind.

"I owe you again this time."

Tony was grateful from the bottom of his heart.

However, his way of expressing it was hard to accept.

"[There is only one Tony Stark!]... Oh, if I were a woman, I would absolutely love you."

Ye Li took the suits and said with disgust, "If you disgust me one more time, I'll twist your neck around too."

Hearing this, Tony glanced at Obadiah, whose neck was crooked on the floor, his expression complex. "He..."

"He's not dead. Handle him yourself."

After stowing away the portable suits, Ye Li tossed a small black rod to Tony.

"Can you make this?"

"What is this?"

Seeing a switch on it, Tony curiously pressed it.

With a *zizz* sound, a blue light instantly erupted, slicing off the corner of a table.

It was fortunate he was holding it at an angle; otherwise, it wouldn't have been just the table that got sliced.

"God!"

Tony yelped and quickly straightened it, "You didn't tell me it was a lightsaber! I almost got stabbed!"

"So, can you make it?"

Ye Li didn't care if Tony got stabbed; he had an enhanced Horse Talisman in his hand that could bring back the dead—its ability to pull people back was peerless.

"Hold on."

Tony went to an instrument, turned off the lightsaber, and placed it on it. "Jarvis, analyze the construction."

Soon, a series of data and structural analysis diagrams were projected by Jarvis.

Jarvis's voice sounded: "Sir, I suggest testing at maximum power."

"Hold off on that for now.

By the way, delete Obadiah's permissions and elevate Black Spider's permissions to the highest level."

While giving the order,

Tony pulled up an analysis diagram of a crystal inside the lightsaber. "Is this... the energy source of the lightsaber?"

Jarvis spoke up at this moment.

"I'm sorry, sir, I cannot do that.

This Mr. Black Spider's information is isolated by a special field; it cannot be identified or recorded."

"What the hell?"

Tony looked at Ye Li in surprise, "Are you an alien?"

"Just do your job."

Ye Li said indifferently, "Permissions don't matter. I can enter your place whenever I want."

"..."

What else could Tony say? Very good, very powerful.

"The most special part of this lightsaber has been found."

Tony pointed to a crystal-shaped component projected on the screen, "It's this. Jarvis searched the database, and this material doesn't exist on our planet. And you still say you're not an alien?"

Ye Li thought to himself... Is this a Kyber crystal?

The lightsaber rewarded by the system didn't require the user to have the Force. He had thought the construction would be different; he didn't expect it to contain a Kyber crystal inside.

It seems this Kyber crystal is quite special, capable of igniting the plasma beam on its own. ===== CHAPTER 99 =====

"So can you make it? Find some substitute material or something." Ye Li proposed an idea.

"I need to test its capabilities."

Tony took Ye Li to the lower laboratory and took out some alloys to cut with the lightsaber.

"This is the gold-titanium alloy I use for my Iron Man suits. Let me try it... Ah, this!"

Before he could finish his sentence,

he saw the lightsaber in his hand part the alloy like a hot knife through butter...

This meant

that this simple, unadorned weapon could easily slice him in two while he was wearing his Iron Man suit.

Tony looked at Ye Li in silence.

Comparing people to others is infuriating.

He could just pull out something that could easily hack through the armor he had worked so hard to develop.

After composing himself,

Tony analyzed it for Ye Li, "Using Arc Reactor technology to replace the crystal as an energy source and changing the structure, I might be able to make something similar, but the power won't be this strong."

"The power will be weaker?"

Ye Li asked, "Insufficient energy?"

The Arc Reactor was a miniature nuclear device; it shouldn't be inferior to the system's special Kyber crystal.

"It's not because of insufficient energy.

The difficulty is how to constrain the light blade so it doesn't flare out, so the power must be reduced, otherwise it will go out of control."

Tony was also very interested in the lightsaber.

If his Iron Man suit could be equipped with this kind of melee weapon, his combat power would increase significantly.

So he asked for Ye Li's consent, "After I develop it, I want to equip the Iron Man suit with this weapon... Don't worry, without your signature, I won't mass-produce it, and the company has already closed its weapons division."

"Do as you please, but I have one condition."

Ye Li thought this was a good idea, "When the time comes, add it to the suits for Ghost Spider and the others too." ===== CHAPTER 100 =====
