Chapter 59: Stark: Inventing a Hammer, I've Suffered a Huge Loss (Fifth Update)
"Brother Yue, I think we should just let it go!"
Watching Yue Buqun speak with sarcasm, Song Yuanqiao, on the other side, couldn't help but say in his honest manner.
"For a newcomer to come like this, they've already suffered social death; why must you keep picking at their scars!"
As these words of consolation were spoken, Stark initially felt quite in agreement.
But after carefully ruminating on them, he discovered something was wrong.
What do you mean picking at my scars!
I, Tony Stark, am not weak; I have no scars, alright!
"Pfft, cough cough, you all continue, continue!"
On the other side, Yang Xue, who had been watching the show the whole time, couldn't help but laugh out loud, then hurriedly coughed twice to ease the awkwardness.
She hadn't expected that the guests here at the divine place would all be such eloquent, humorous, and witty people.
"You few, fine, I, Tony Stark, have noted this down!"
Looking around, Tony Stark made sure to remember all these people.
He looked at the egg fried rice, tea eggs, and beef noodles on the table.
Stark had been prepared to leave it all behind.
But after thinking about Su Mu's situation just now.
If he didn't eat it directly, he was afraid he might die.
Helplessly, Stark packed up the delicacies, cast a glance at the crowd, and turned to leave.
He didn't want to stay here for even another moment.
To actually look down on his reputation as Tony the Little Steel Cannon.
They didn't have a shred of discernment.
And as Stark left, everyone in the gourmet shop couldn't help but smile at each other.
They didn't take this little interlude with Stark to heart.
After all, coming here, the most important thing was the food.
Zhang Sanfeng, Yue Buqun, Xuan Ci, and the others all quickly polished off their food.
After saying a word to Su Mu, the group left.
In an instant, only Jiang He and Yang Xue remained in the gourmet shop.
Using two cups of watermelon juice, they had just managed to trade with Ying Zheng for beef noodles, egg fried rice, and tea eggs.
This time, however, the two did not leave after eating.
Because the news regarding this beast tide had already spread at the Nancheng base.
It was said that the beast tide suddenly vanished because the Fission-stage ferocious beast that initiated it, the Five-Colored Wagyu, had been slain by someone.
Two days ago, Jiang He and Yang Xue hadn't known, so they hadn't paid attention.
But now that they knew, when they looked at the beef noodles again, the two couldn't help but be stunned.
That beef, shimmering with different colors beneath the broth—could it be the meat of the Five-Colored Wagyu!
It wasn't that the two were overthinking; it was just that they still remembered two days before the beast tide.
Su Mu had suddenly said he was going out to gather ingredients.
And then, after returning with the ingredients, he put beef noodles on the menu.
This timing was just too coincidental!
"Shopkeeper, I'd like to ask, what is this beef?"
After hesitating for a long time, Jiang He finally asked cautiously.
And Su Mu, who was resting, immediately perked up upon hearing Jiang He's question.
"Oh, finally someone with a discerning eye! This beef is Five-Colored Wagyu I specifically gathered; the meat is fresh, tender, and delicious—a rare find!"
Seeing that Jiang He could actually spot the difference in the beef noodles, Su Mu couldn't help but look at him with approval.
This was clearly an expert in the world of foodies!
Being stared at by Su Mu with such a gaze, Jiang He could only nod awkwardly.
He wasn't some expert with a discerning eye.
He was just someone who knew where this beef came from!
It really was that Fission-stage ferocious beast!
Marveling inwardly, at this moment, Jiang He finally understood what kind of ingredients Su Mu had gone out to gather.
Having figured this out, the two didn't linger any longer.
After saying a word to Su Mu, the two left as well.
Meanwhile, in the Marvel world.
"Phew, I'm back!"
Wearing a bathrobe, the moment Stark stepped out of the shop door, he instantly returned to his villa.
Looking at the familiar surroundings, Stark felt a surge of wild joy in his heart.
Glancing at the beauty on the bed, Stark tossed the food aside and rushed over.
To hell with the delicacies!
He, Stark, was back, and he would never go there again.
Whenever he thought about the events at the gourmet shop, Stark felt that he would absolutely never go back.
Who would be stupid enough to go back to such a dangerous place?
Right now, he just wanted to relax properly.
In an instant, sounds of pleasure echoed within the villa.
The next morning.
When Stark woke up, the person beside him had already left.
Early in the morning, Stark opened a bottle of red wine and sat by the pool.
"Coulson from S.H.I.E.L.D. is here to visit!"
Just as Tony was enjoying life, Jarvis's voice rang out.
Hearing that a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent had arrived, Stark's expression immediately turned displeased.
"Jarvis, let him in in fifteen minutes!"
Getting up and walking toward his room, Stark, having experienced the events at the gourmet shop, prepared to change his clothes.
Fifteen minutes later.
"Mr. Tony, it really isn't easy to see you!"
Coulson, who had been waiting for fifteen minutes, sat down.
"Actually, I think it's best if we don't see each other at all!"
Holding his red wine, Stark only felt that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s arrival was a nuisance.
"That won't do; we still need your help!"
Shaking his head, his visit this time was to ask Tony for help.
After all, the Tesseract and the Avengers Initiative both required Tony.
As Coulson spoke, watching Tony drink red wine while his own throat was parched, he couldn't help but pick up the watermelon juice on the table.
Yesterday, when Stark returned, he had simply tossed the food onto the table.
At this moment, Coulson happened to pick it up.
"Drinking a cup of your juice shouldn't be a problem, right?"
He raised the watermelon juice and asked Tony Stark.
The latter, Stark, didn't pay much attention and simply nodded.
"Of course!"
But as the words left his lips, Stark's expression suddenly froze.
Juice?
How could he have that kind of thing here!
Turning his head abruptly, he saw Coulson on the other side already raising the watermelon juice and drinking it.
Seeing this scene, Stark's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Damn it, he had forgotten to throw away that food.
He cursed inwardly, but the next moment, Stark's expression went blank.
He saw Coulson on the other side freeze in place after drinking half a cup of watermelon juice.
His eyes were staring in terror at the watermelon juice in his hand.
After a long silence, Coulson exclaimed in shock.
"Mr. Tony, this watermelon juice of yours is simply too miraculous; it can actually increase one's lifespan! May I ask how you managed to do it!"
The excited Coulson couldn't care about anything else at this moment.
He ran excitedly to Tony and grabbed his hand tightly.
This was watermelon juice that could increase lifespan!
This invention was truly too great.
This was enough to change the entire human society.
With Coulson gripping him tightly, Stark’s mind was a complete mess.
Nani, what on earth?
That glass of watermelon juice can increase one's lifespan?
Invention? I haven't invented a damn thing!
Is this kind of thing something that science can explain?
