Chapter 58

As the light faded, the scene around Bai Xiaofei fell into his eyes.

This was a sealed space, pitch black everywhere. With the help of a few weak lights, it could be seen that this was an artificially excavated cave. The surroundings and the ceiling were all rocks, and two large iron doors sealed the cave's only exit. In front of Bai Xiaofei stood a group of disheveled foreigners. They gathered together, like doctors, frantically trying to save a person on a stone platform.

Strangely, these people were all still, motionless, as if time had paused.

Bai Xiaofei was the same; except for his thoughts, he was also frozen.

"Host, you have entered the world of 'Iron Man 1.' Now, I will issue tasks: Task 1: Save Yinsen. Success: Gain 10,000 energy points. Task 2: Escort Yinsen and help Tony escape danger. Success: Gain 20,000 energy points. Task 3: Obtain one set of Tony's Iron Man armor. Success: Gain 10,000 energy points. Task 4: Defeat and personally kill Obadiah Stane. Success: Gain 10,000 energy points."

"Complete all tasks, and you will receive an additional 5,000 energy points and one time-space grand lottery. Host, please try your best!"

After hearing the mission information from the time-travel device, Bai Xiaofei's mind raced.

"Yinsen seems to be a very important character; otherwise, he wouldn't have such a high energy value! But it makes sense. In the plot, Yinsen greatly helps Tony, not only saving his life but also helping him regain confidence and establish a new set of values. At the most critical moment, he even risked his life alone to buy time for Tony, ultimately dying tragically!"

"Without exaggeration, without Yinsen, there would be no Tony, no Iron Man, and no subsequent events! If Yinsen can be saved, it will play a crucial role! However... how to save him and escort them out of here is indeed a significant challenge!"

Although Bai Xiaofei's current strength was not insignificant, with his gun skills, knife skills, and telekinesis, his combat power was almost superhuman, but facing the "Ten Rings" gang, who could ambush regular armies and retreat unscathed, and who possessed numerous heavy weapons produced by Stark Industries, Bai Xiaofei's personal combat power was clearly still somewhat weak. A single misstep could lead to disaster.

If Bai Xiaofei were to escape alone, facing the Ten Rings' pursuit, he might not feel much pressure, but if he had to take Yinsen along, that would be a different story.

Moreover, the system required Bai Xiaofei and Yinsen to stay with Tony, making the task even more difficult!

Bai Xiaofei silently thought to himself, "I must come up with a perfect plan!"

Just as Bai Xiaofei was deep in thought, the time-travel device's voice sounded again: "Host, after the system upgrade, when entering the time-space world for training, the host can freely choose the entry mode. One is direct entry, where issues of identity and information are resolved by the host; the other is identity verification provided by the system, which eliminates worries but requires 100 energy points."

"Identity verification?"

Bai Xiaofei thought for a moment and understood what it meant.

In the three-part beginner mission "Wolf Warrior," the system had arranged a special forces identity for Bai Xiaofei, saving him a lot of effort. In "Chronicle," he was only given a U.S. green card, and in "Wanted," he got nothing at all!

Bai Xiaofei asked, "System, is identity verification like in 'Wolf Warrior'?"

The time-travel device replied, "Yes!"

Bai Xiaofei considered for a moment and then said, "I choose the second option!"

In some worlds, identity information requirements are not high, and Bai Xiaofei doesn't need to worry too much about identity issues, such as in "Chronicle" and "Wanted," where no one would suddenly investigate a stranger's identity. However, in the "Iron Man" world, or the Marvel universe, it's different!

There are too many dangerous elements in the Marvel universe, leading to strict information monitoring by the government, military, and organizations. A single mistake could expose him. Especially since Bai Xiaofei needs to be near the main characters to complete tasks and change the world's plot, a reasonable identity is essential to avoid significant resistance!

100 energy points, not much, and it's not worth saving this much energy and causing himself trouble. Bai Xiaofei is not foolish and would not choose the first entry mode!

"Beep!"

"Host chooses the system-provided identity verification, which requires 100 energy points. Do you agree to the deduction?"

"Yes!"

"Beep!"

"Host pays 100 energy points, identity verification begins..."

"Beep!"

"Identity verification successful!"

With the time-travel device's prompt, Bai Xiaofei's mind gained a new set of memories.

The system arranged for Bai Xiaofei to be a Chinese adventurer with a deep love for ancient literature. He heard that a very old ancient artifact had been unearthed in a small town in Afghanistan and traveled a long distance to observe and study it. Unfortunately, he was captured by the Ten Rings and brought to the cave as a slave.

Originally, Bai Xiaofei was to be executed to save food for the Ten Rings, but when they learned he had some medical skills and was fluent in multiple languages, he was thrown into the cave to help Yinsen treat Tony.

"Host, everything is ready. Do you want to start the time-space training and execute the mission immediately?"

"Wait a moment!"

Bai Xiaofei thought to himself, "I will definitely have to battle the Ten Rings in the future. To complete the mission and save my life, I need to prepare more! Weapons are not necessary; I have some, and the Ten Rings have many. The most important thing is to prepare some medical supplies for emergencies!"

Opening the time-space mall, Bai Xiaofei spent 100 energy points to buy 10 medical sprays that could instantly heal all injuries and diseases, and placed them in the dimensional space.

With the life-saving drugs secured, Bai Xiaofei had no other immediate needs.

"System, start the mission!" Bai Xiaofei said.

"Beep!"

"Time-space training mission begins, protection mode off!"

As the time-travel device spoke, a无形的波纹以Bai Xiaofei为中心突然荡起。然后，洞穴里的人，包括Bai Xiaofei在内，全都恢复了行动。

"***! 你这个白痴! 呆呆地站在那里干什么？还不快把生理盐水拿过来！"

Bai Xiaofei刚刚回过神来，耳边就传来一声怒吼。

随即，他感到屁股一痛。

草！

Bai Xiaofei身形一个踉跄，但为了任务需求，他没有当场发作。

不过，Bai Xiaofei心里牢牢记住了那个刚才踢了自己一脚的大胡子，他发誓，在和Tony、Yinsen逃离这里的时候，一定要狠狠地报复对方！

Bai Xiaofei手里端着一个丑陋的小盆，里面装着生理盐水，装作一脸慌张地快步来到石台跟前。

然后，他终于看到了钢铁侠的主角——Tony Stark！
