Upon hearing Zala say that what she had was just the initial design and that Tony had more advanced equipment, Obadiah Stane thought of the military press conference he had seen earlier that day.
At this moment, Zala looked at Obadiah and said, "If there were a dozen of these ultimate weapons, it would be enough for me to conquer Asia!"
"And you would be able to have his kingdom," she continued.
The kingdom she referred to was none other than Stark Industries.
Zala moved away from the computer and sat down on the nearby sofa, pouring herself a drink as she spoke.
"If we continue to cooperate, I will give you all these design drawings and video data as a gift."
Obadiah put the blueprints together, revealing the appearance of the Mark I armor.
Looking at the hollow position in the Mark I blueprint and the markings on it, Obadiah seemed pensive.
Zala, holding her glass, looked at Obadiah and continued, "In return, I hope you can provide me with an army of Iron Men."
Observing Zala's raised glass, Obadiah took a few steps toward her, smiling, placing one hand on her shoulder and taking the glass from her with the other.
The next second, Zala was paralyzed by the low-frequency sound emitted from a device in Obadiah's hand, which resembled an MP3 player in size.
"This is the only gift you'll receive," Obadiah declared.
With the glass in one hand and the device in the other, Obadiah disabled the device and said, "Do you want technology? Technology is the fatal weakness of people like you."
Seeing Zala's eyes turning bloodshot with bulging veins, Obadiah removed the earplugs and said, "Don't worry, you'll be fine in 15 minutes."
"You should worry about the trouble afterward!" he added.
Having said that, Obadiah left the tent.
Outside the tent, Zala's men were all quietly subdued by Obadiah's bodyguards and were kneeling on the ground, disarmed.
Observing the scene, Obadiah ordered, "Load the computers and design blueprints into the car for me."
"Alright, clean up the battlefield."
With Obadiah's command, gunfire erupted instantly.
Sitting in the car, Obadiah immediately made a call to his subordinates, instructing, "Set up Section 16 under the Ark Reactor Project for all data to be kept confidential."
"Find the best engineers and get me a prototype as soon as possible."
…
The next day-
Charles Doyle woke up in his room and immediately entered the system space.
Check-in!
Ding! Check-in successful, reward: Copper Coins.
Collecting the copper coin reward, Charles opened the mission gathering hall. Tony's commissioned task was already displayed as completed. He clicked to claim the rewards.
Ding! Obtained 500 reputation points, 50,000 copper coins, and 1 ordinary treasure chest.
After collecting all the rewards, Charles looked at his current reputation points, which had reached 21,640.
Seeing the reputation points exceed 20,000, Charles didn't hesitate. It seemed like the right time to enhance the strength of his summoning beasts. After all, he had been using them as mounts, so some compensation was due.
Charles directly opened the page for the summoning beasts.
At the interface of the summoning beasts, Charles saw level 40 Aoda and the costs required for leveling up: 1000 reputation points and 100,000 copper coins, with the resource cost increasing with each level.
Without any hesitation, Charles embarked on the journey of upgrading. With continuous upgrades, Aoda quickly reached level 50, the maximum level.
For this, Charles had only spent 12,000 reputation points and 1.5 million copper coins.
At this moment, Aoda in the spiritual world suddenly howled to the sky, causing considerable commotion in the surrounding area, smashing a large area of the forest.
It was a complete recovery of Aoda's strength, making it exceptionally excited.
On the other end of the spiritual world, Park thought Aoda had gone mad from being ridden by an ordinary person. He grumbled, "Good thing I didn't jump on its head yesterday, or it would be flying around looking for a fight with me today."
Meanwhile, Charles received another system prompt after just maxing out Aoda's level.
Ding! Aoda is at max level. Do you want to activate the new summoning beast, Gamabunta?
Upon hearing about the new summoning beast, Charles immediately clicked to activate it.
The next second, a new summoning beast, Gamabunta, appeared in the interface, at level 0, with its inherent skill, Water Iron Cannon.
Looking at the low current upgrade cost of Gamabunta, 400 reputation points and 40,000 copper coins per level, and considering his nearly 10,000 reputation points, Charles continued his upgrading journey.
After a series of operations, Charles's reputation was depleted, and he stopped the process after Gamabunta reached level 15.
Satisfied with the results, he nodded.
In this process, Charles spent a total of 21,640 reputation points and 4 million copper coins.
Exiting the system space, Charles didn't even bother to freshen up. Instead, he directly used the Reverse summoning technique to enter the spiritual world.
He wanted to check his new summoning beast, Gamabunta, to determine whether it was an adult or juvenile. After all, the difference between the two was significant.
Upon arriving in the spiritual world, Charles immediately summoned Gamabunta.
Gamabunta, upon receiving the message, hurried towards Charles's direction, making a thumping sound with its jumps.
Hearing the noise, Charles realized that it was an adult Gamabunta, as only an adult could cause such a commotion.
The next second, a colossal creature 32 meters tall appeared next to Charles.
"Gamabunta!" Charles exclaimed, and Gamabunta immediately recognized Charles as its contractor.
"Lord Charles!" it greeted.
Satisfied with the Gamabunta in front of him, Charles nodded and instructed, "Gamabunta, use Water Iron Cannon. Let me see its power."
Without refusing, Gamabunta jumped and launched its attack skill.
"Water Iron Cannon!"
A massive water bomb spewed from Gamabunta's mouth, shooting towards the nearby forest.
The water bomb's speed was incredibly fast, and its power was tremendous, creating a large pit in the ground after destroying a large number of trees.
Satisfied with the display of power, Charles nodded. The damage inflicted was much stronger than that of a regular cannonball.
After using its ninjutsu, Gamabunta stood by and asked, "Any other orders, Lord Charles?"
Charles smiled and replied, "Gamabunta, no, I just came to see your strength."
"Though this place is not Myoboku Mountain, but it's still enormous. You can choose a piece of land for yourself."
"In the future, your family and tribe will also appear here. If you need anything, you can tell me."
