Chapter 15

Time passed quietly, and a month went by.

Zheng Xiaotian stood in a secluded corner of the neighborhood, looking at the ten-second countdown on his watch. He felt a bit nervous. This month, he should have been in the first stage of cultivation, and he was still in the first stage. No matter how he played around, he only had two air bullets. He didn't know what kind of monster he would face next. If it was a steel giant, what good would air bullets be?

Five, four, three, two, one.

Zheng Xiaotian's vision went dark, and he disappeared from this world.

"Second world traversal, Iron Man. The difficulty is slightly higher. The task requires finding the opportunity to complete it. The essential condition for completing the task is one set of Iron Man armor. With this condition, finding the opportunity, the task may be completed at any time, thus allowing departure."

When these words appeared in Zheng Xiaotian's mind, he was speechless. What did "at any time" mean? If he got the armor and upgraded to the second stage of cultivation, he might be able to leave, right? Also, he really was a jinx. He was afraid of coming to a place where air bullets wouldn't work, and now he was facing a steel giant. If they fought, what did it have to do with him? He was completely no match.

The restraints on Zheng Xiaotian disappeared, and his figure landed in a desolate place.

"What the heck is this? Last time, at least I landed next to Bai Xiaofei, but this time, I was sent directly to the desert. Damn, I'm of Eastern descent, I don't speak the language, I have no money, what am I supposed to do? Are you trying to push me to the brink so I can break through to the second stage?" Zheng Xiaotian cursed.

The system is just a system. No matter how you curse it, it won't respond.

A jeep appeared in the desert. The car drove up to Zheng Xiaotian and stopped.

With two claps, a figure got out of the jeep.

Zheng Xiaotian glanced at him, not recognizing him. He was a middle-aged man.

"Bro, what are you doing?" the man asked.

"Taking a walk!" Zheng Xiaotian replied irritably. The next second, he was stunned. He could tell that the man wasn't speaking Chinese, but it sounded like Chinese in his ears. And what he said wasn't English, but it sounded like proper London accent to the man.

"You're interesting. Taking a walk in the desert? How did you get here?" the man asked with a smile.

"What's it to you?" Zheng Xiaotian glanced at the man.

"Hey, I'm particularly interested in you." the man said.

"I'm straight, so you don't need to be interested in me." Zheng Xiaotian waved his hand, a bit haughtily.

"Don't worry, my preferences are normal, night after night." the man smiled and extended his hand: "Hello, I'm Tony."

"Tony?" Zheng Xiaotian thought, what a name. The name itself is so powerful, who would dare to strip who?

"Tony Stark!" Tony gave his full name.

"Wu Si, Zheng Xiaotian." Zheng Xiaotian extended his hand.

At this moment, Zheng Xiaotian was shocked. Tony Stark, the main character of Iron Man? Does this middle-aged man have that aura? Damn, how did he change the main character's face? Andy Wei, calm down. It's not certain if he's the real one.

As for why Zheng Xiaotian's name became five characters, it's because the other person's name is five characters, so his must be too. Although the language is smooth, if his name had two fewer characters, it would be a bit...

"Hello, Zheng Xiaotian!" Tony shook hands with Zheng Xiaotian and then withdrew his hand. "I happen to need someone to help me, and I'm afraid of those with a background. People like you, who appear mysteriously in the desert, are my favorite. Want to help me?"

"What do you mean by 'afraid of those with a background'? You mean I have no background? You're saying I'm like an idiot, right?" Zheng Xiaotian glanced at Tony.

"Not an idiot, a blank slate." Tony said.

"Whatever, you're not treating me as someone important." Zheng Xiaotian said.

"Hey, I'm offering you ten thousand a month to help me. Want to do it? If not, forget it." Tony was annoyed.

"Sure, why not? I'd be an idiot to turn down money." Zheng Xiaotian nodded. "Hey, I'll do it."

Tony gestured for Zheng Xiaotian to get in the car, then pressed a button on the key. In front of them, sand was kicked up. A large iron plate slowly lifted, revealing a passage.

Tony drove the car slowly into the passage.

Tony didn't just look at Zheng Xiaotian and think, "Wow, we have such a connection, you should help me." No, that's not it.

First, Tony used his eyes to scan the man's retina and face. Then, he searched for his identity online. His system, which was 100% accurate and unknown to anyone, told him that Zheng Xiaotian was just a nobody, an IT guy. He needed someone who could handle a computer without getting confused about which button did what.

After that, Tony recruited Zheng Xiaotian.

They entered the base. Then, a full-body scan was conducted, of course, on Zheng Xiaotian.

The base was huge, with rows of armor standing tall. Just looking at them, you could tell that their combat power was not ordinary.

The base was very spacious and empty, giving a cold and lifeless feeling.

"Welcome back, Iron Man." A projection appeared in front of Zheng Xiaotian and Tony.

"Activate the base, prepare to enter research mode!" Tony turned to Zheng Xiaotian and said, "Surprised? Actually, I'm the hero everyone sees, Iron Man. Yeah, it's me."

"Can Iron Man be eaten? What flavor? Tomato or coffee?" Zheng Xiaotian looked at Tony with a serious face.

Tony almost fell over. He thought, "Sure enough, a super无敌的苦逼戳男屌丝, who doesn't even pay attention to Iron Man while surfing the internet at home. This is just too amazing. But it's good, at least he won't feel the pressure of recognizing me like seeing a leader, which could lead to mistakes and unpredictable consequences."

Tony started to show Zheng Xiaotian, the nobody, around the base.
