Chapter 64

Bai Xiaofei had a dream.

In his dream, he became a great and powerful figure, possessing boundless divine power, extreme authority, and immense wealth.

He dreamed of living in a vast and magnificent palace, enjoying the reverence and worship of countless subjects every day, as well as the devoted service of many beautiful women, living a life of boundless pleasure and freedom.

Heaven and earth obeyed his will, all generations followed his heart, all beings followed his intentions, and all realms revered him as the supreme!

That feeling was truly the most exhilarating!

Then, the dream suddenly changed!

Blood spread everywhere!

Slaughter swept in!

Thousands of concubines, countless subjects, jade palaces, vast palaces, power, and wealth all shattered and vanished!

Heavenly deities and warriors from various realms cornered him.

There was no way to escape, no place to hide!

He resolutely self-destructed!

Boom!

At that moment, Bai Xiaofei suddenly woke up, drenched in sweat, his face pale with shock.

Then, Bai Xiaofei saw a familiar face, with wise and deep eyes, a handsome face, and a characteristic mustache that perfectly matched the owner's personality!

Bai Xiaofei was taken aback: "Tony?"

Tony Stark, seeing that Bai Xiaofei had finally woken up, was very excited and said with a happy face, "Bai, my friend, my brother! You're finally awake! That's great! I thought I had lost you! Thank goodness!"

Tony was a genius and also a very proud person. He was free-spirited and unconventional, making it hard for ordinary people to become his friends, let alone his brothers.

Not only did Bai Xiaofei save Tony's life along with Yinsen, but he also provided great help when Tony was in his most difficult and destitute times. Bai Xiaofei even risked his life to buy them time to survive. All these actions combined could not leave Tony unmoved.

It could be said without exaggeration that without Bai Xiaofei, Tony and Yinsen would not have survived and would not have been able to return home safely. The bond of shared adversity and the debt of gratitude were enough to change Tony and Yinsen's attitude towards Bai Xiaofei!

Now that Tony called Bai Xiaofei his friend and brother, it clearly showed that he recognized Bai Xiaofei's character.

Bai Xiaofei was delighted, thinking that his efforts had not been in vain!

To win the recognition of the world-class genius Tony Stark and to be called a brother, Bai Xiaofei felt that all the severe injuries, unconsciousness, and life-threatening situations were worth it!

At this moment, Yinsen also appeared.

Yinsen, as always, was dressed in a well-fitted suit, wearing round glasses, looking like a kind and gentle scholar, someone who could easily win the favor of many people at first glance.

Yinsen walked to Bai Xiaofei's bedside and said excitedly, "Bai, you're awake! Thank goodness! It's great that you're awake!"

As he spoke, he devoutly made the sign of the cross, like a believer thanking the Lord.

Together with Yinsen, a blonde woman also walked in.

Pepper Potts.

Tony Stark's confidante, lover, love, company secretary, life assistant... Pepper had many roles and played a significant part in helping and influencing Tony, absolutely fitting the role of the leading lady!

Seeing Bai Xiaofei awake, Pepper was clearly very happy.

She smiled at Bai Xiaofei and said, "Bai, thank you! Without you, Tony probably wouldn't have come back, and I would have had to find a new job. These days, Tony has been by your side, not eating or drinking, and even ignoring beautiful women. I almost thought Tony had changed his sexual orientation!"

True to her sharp and clever nature, Pepper's words expressed gratitude, lightened the atmosphere, highlighted Tony's loyalty, and also expressed her dissatisfaction with Tony's neglect of her. Impressive!

Tony, upon hearing this, rolled his eyes and said seriously, "Pepper, my sexual orientation has always been normal!!"

Yinsen nodded and said with a smile, "Yeah, a bit too normal!"

Pepper covered her mouth and laughed, "Ha, that's the truth!"

Tony: "..."

Watching Yinsen and Pepper tease Tony's playboy personality, Bai Xiaofei also laughed and joined in the teasing. The three of them made Tony, who was alone, look extremely embarrassed.

...

Bai Xiaofei's injuries were severe. If treated with conventional medical methods, it would take at least two to three months to fully recover.

The alien medical spray was incredibly powerful, capable of instantly healing all injuries and illnesses. In the extremely dangerous Marvel world, Bai Xiaofei dared not use it casually. If it attracted the attention of some unscrupulous individuals, with his current strength, he might not even be able to protect himself. It was better to be low-key.

Fortunately, Bai Xiaofei had another miraculous medicine, a magical liquid from the "Assassin's Creed" timeline. As long as one was not dead, no matter how severe the injuries, soaking in the liquid for a few hours would restore one to perfect health without any scars.

Compared to the alien medical spray, the liquid was slightly less effective but not as shocking. Bai Xiaofei believed it would not attract too much attention.

Then, Bai Xiaofei called Tony over and told him the formula for the liquid.

First, to increase Tony's goodwill and trust, and second, since Bai Xiaofei was new to this place, besides Tony and Yinsen, and the newly acquainted Pepper, he did not know anyone else. The only person he could trust and who had the ability to execute the task was the idle Tony Stark.

After listening to Bai Xiaofei's explanation, Tony opened his mouth in disbelief and said, "Bai, are you saying that this liquid formula is really that miraculous, able to heal you in just a few hours?"

Bai Xiaofei nodded and said, "More real than pearls! Tony, go collect the materials quickly. I don't want to stay in bed forever!"

"OK! I'll go right away!"

With a try-it-out attitude, Tony went to the basement and instructed his AI butler, JARVIS, to search for the materials on Bai Xiaofei's list, contact the suppliers, and have them delivered quickly!

Then, Tony began the research and improvement of the Mark II, entering a workaholic mode.

...

Tony Stark's reputation was well-known. Whenever he needed something, the sellers were very attentive.

The materials needed for the magical liquid were delivered to Tony's house one after another within a couple of hours. Under Bai Xiaofei's guidance and JARVIS's precise assistance, Tony finally managed to successfully produce a swimming pool full of magical liquid!

Yes, a swimming pool!

As a billionaire, Tony Stark declared, "Money talks, and I can do as I please. If you don't like it, bite me!"

"This wasteful guy! I really can't believe you!" Bai Xiaofei, while criticizing Tony's show-off behavior, endured the excruciating pain and slowly walked into the swimming pool filled with magical liquid.

Ten hours later, the swimming pool had solidified into a white, candle-like substance, and Bai Xiaofei was sealed inside like a statue.

After finishing the design work on the Mark II's leg thrusters, Tony left the basement.

Seeing the completely transformed swimming pool, Tony was shocked.

"JARVIS, what happened?"

"Sir, I don't know."

"How is Bai?"

"Sir, Mr. Bai Xiaofei is in excellent condition. According to the data, the wound on his chest has completely healed. The components of the magical liquid are repairing the damaged functions in Mr. Bai Xiaofei's body and stimulating his bone marrow to produce blood, compensating for the large amount of blood lost. At the current rate, Mr. Bai Xiaofei will be fully recovered in 1 hour, 32 minutes, and 46 seconds!"

"Wow! So miraculous?" Tony couldn't help but draw a breath, finally believing Bai Xiaofei's words.

"Yes, sir. The components provided by Mr. Bai Xiaofei are simple, but when combined, they create a miraculous substance that greatly stimulates the body's repair functions, achieving rapid recovery with no side effects! Sir, should I upload this data to Stark Industries' server?"

"No!"

As a top businessman and genius, Tony Stark naturally understood the immense value of the magical liquid. This revolutionary treasure, once released, would attract the attention of the general public, businessmen, politicians, and military personnel. Without any proper measures in place, revealing it would only bring disaster!

At the same time, the fact that Bai Xiaofei had trusted him enough to share the secret formula of such an important magical liquid without reservation made Tony both surprised and moved, as well as a bit ashamed!

Tony valued Bai Xiaofei greatly, even considering him his most important friend, but out of caution and the national differences between them, Tony always had some reservations and defenses against Bai Xiaofei. This was not due to a lack of broad-mindedness or narrow-mindedness, but rather a biological defense instinct!

Now, Bai Xiaofei's complete trust in Tony had finally broken down the last line of defense in Tony's heart, shattering it completely!

From now on, Tony truly considered Bai Xiaofei a brother!

Tony's eyes sparkled as he pondered, "JARVIS, classify the magical liquid as a top-secret file, just like the Mark series, and store it in your private data server. Without my permission, no one is allowed to access it!"

"Understood, sir."
