Bai Xiaofei had to admit that he was indeed stimulated by Tony and Pep's display of affection.
The tens of thousands of critical damage points made the single Bai Xiaofei feel quite depressed.
"Should I also find a girlfriend?" This tempting thought had flashed through Bai Xiaofei's mind more than once, but every time it appeared, it also made him very conflicted.
The reason was simple: Bai Xiaofei's identity was too sensitive!
With the time-traveling device, he could traverse countless worlds. As his strength grew and improved, Bai Xiaofei's future was boundless, and even immortality might not be a luxury! How should such a person approach finding their other half?
The real world was peaceful and harmonious, it was Bai Xiaofei's root, and a pure land he could never abandon. His parents, family, and friends, almost all his ties, were there!
Then... what about a lover?
Bai Xiaofei had thought about finding a girlfriend in the real world, getting married, having children, and being filial to his parents; but the thought of possibly being immortal made him feel a headache.
It wasn't hard to enjoy the moment, but how would he face it decades later?
Would he watch them grow old and die, turning to dust? Or would he strive with all his might to obtain treasures to make them immortal like him?
No matter which choice he made, it would inevitably bring more problems!
The same went for the time-traveling worlds!
Different worlds had different rules, and the time Bai Xiaofei could stay in each was not the same. As a person who never stopped, how should he face the beauties that made his heart race in various worlds?
Should he be promiscuous, a playboy envied by all? Or should he part ways after the passion, forgetting each other in the world?
Or should he choose one and stay with her, spending every day together, crossing endless worlds?
Before, there was no choice, now he doesn't know how to choose?
Life is always changing, changing too fast, too drastically, making Bai Xiaofei feel a bit lost.
"Hey, buddy, you're sitting here with a gloomy face. Did you encounter some problem?"
Tony, who had just finished designing the Mark armor components and was preparing to relax, turned his head and noticed Bai Xiaofei's abnormal state. He walked over, sat down next to Bai Xiaofei, and handed him a cup of coffee he had made himself, saying, "Bai, we are brothers. Do you mind sharing your troubles?"
Bai Xiaofei took the coffee from Tony, smiled gratefully, but said nothing, just silently took a sip.
So bitter!
More bitter than pure Chinese medicine!
A bitter taste filled Bai Xiaofei's mouth.
Bai Xiaofei frowned slightly, turned to look at Tony, and was about to ask, "Are you deliberately messing with me?" when the bitter taste in his mouth suddenly changed, transforming into various flavors, stimulating all his taste buds, making him feel an extremely wonderful sensation!
At this moment, Tony smiled and said meaningfully, "Buddy, some problems are like this cup of coffee. Although they make you feel very troubled and hard to bear, as long as you persist in tasting them, you will gain many unexpected flavors! Bai, I don't know what you're facing, but I've experienced life and death. I have a saying for you: go with the flow, let things happen naturally!"
"Go with the flow, let things happen naturally!"
Tony's words were like a bolt of lightning, breaking through all the gloom and fog that troubled Bai Xiaofei, opening up new directions and paths for him.
"Those who come with a connection will stay, those who don't, even if you hope or beg, it will be in vain. If there is a connection, don't push; if there isn't, don't seek. Welcome those who come, and see off those who leave. Go with the flow, let things happen naturally. In this world, everything that is forced will not be satisfactory, and everything that is sought will not be sweet. What I can do is to do my best, be true to myself, and have no regrets!"
Like a sudden enlightenment, Bai Xiaofei suddenly understood.
"Ha ha ha... I get it!" Bai Xiaofei felt refreshed and extremely pleased.
Turning to look at Tony, who was smiling, Bai Xiaofei suddenly hugged him tightly and said sincerely, "Thank you! Tony, your words have made me realize and break free from my confusion, showing me the path ahead and clarifying my true intentions. Thank you! Tony, you will always be my best brother!"
Bai Xiaofei became more and more excited as he spoke, and the strength with which he hugged Tony's arm increased with his growing excitement.
At first, Tony was quite proud, feeling a great sense of achievement in helping Bai Xiaofei out of his confusion. He even thought about getting a psychological counselor certification, which would give him more capital to impress girls, making him invincible!
But soon, Tony's happiness faded, and his face turned increasingly grim.
Because Bai Xiaofei was hugging him too tightly!
So tightly that Tony was almost suffocating!
"Cough, cough..."
Tony's face turned red, and he couldn't help but cough while continuously patting Bai Xiaofei, groaning, "Let go, let go! You bastard, you... you want to kill me! Cough, cough..."
Hearing this, Bai Xiaofei immediately let go of Tony.
Seeing Tony gasping for breath and glaring at him with resentment, even with his thick skin, Bai Xiaofei couldn't help but feel embarrassed, realizing that his excitement had led him to hug too tightly, almost suffocating Tony. He hurriedly smiled and apologized.
"Sorry, Tony! I was too excited, and I accidentally... cough, I know, you are a big person, you won't hold it against me! You are truly my good brother! Magnanimous!"
Tony: "..."
Tony was also at a loss with Bai Xiaofei's shameless personality.
Rolling his eyes, Tony said, "Since you've figured it out, let's go upstairs for a drink to celebrate, and wait for Pep to return victorious!"
"OK! Let's go!"
...
Stark Industries.
Pepper, like in the movie plot, narrowly obtained the intelligence Tony wanted and unexpectedly discovered that Obadiah was the mastermind behind the attack and was secretly manufacturing the Iron Man suit.
As Pepper, fearing for her life, nervously walked out of the company, she encountered the long-awaited Phil Coulson.
To protect herself and expose Obadiah's plot, Pepper joined forces with Coulson.
Seeing Pepper and Coulson together, Obadiah knew he couldn't get the evidence back, so he hurriedly went to the secret 16th Zone under the Stark Industries' Arc Reactor to inquire about the progress of the Iron Man suit. Once the suit was completed, he would fear no one, not even the military!
Unfortunately, the engineer told him that the suit was ready, but the power source problem couldn't be solved.
Obadiah was furious, pointing at the giant Arc Reactor, and roared, "What the hell! This is technology! I just asked you to make it smaller!"
The engineer replied helplessly, "I'm trying, but honestly, it's impossible!"
Obadiah was angry, "Stop bullshitting! Tony Stark did it in a cave with junk materials, and you say you can't do it!"
The engineer said speechlessly, "Sorry, I'm not Tony Stark!"
Obadiah: "..."
At the same time.
Bai Xiaofei received a call from Nick Fury.
"Bai Xiaofei, this is Nick Fury. I want to talk to you. The address is..."
Seeing the big fish finally taking the bait, Bai Xiaofei said goodbye to Tony and drove his Audi sports car out of the villa to meet up.
However, not long after Bai Xiaofei left, Tony, who was on the phone, was taken down by the prepared Obadiah with a neural weapon, and the third-generation Arc Reactor in Tony's chest, as well as the second-generation Arc Reactor in the lab, were stolen!
