Peter continued rushing around the room. But he soon discovered that he could no longer just dodge like this.
When he only had one steel armor suit before, he was actually quite relaxed. Although this armored suit is controlled by artificial intelligence, the AI uses "algorithms" and lacks the flexibility of humans. With Peter's intuition and spider-sense, it was easy to deal with.
So he didn't panic at all, and he even took a glass of water to drink while busy - he was a little thirsty after being chased up and down just now.
But that was before. And now, three sets of armored suits, controlled by the intelligent system, came together to deal with him. They cooperated with each other and their power was greatly increased. If the difficulty level of the previous single armor was 2 to the power of 1, which is 2, then the difficulty level of the three armors is 2 to the third power, which is 8! The power has increased to 8 times its original value!
Quite scary. In this case, if he still just dodged, he would become more and more passive.
"We must find a way to restrain two of them!" Peter thought to himself and acted quickly.
As he passed through a relatively narrow place, Peter left a trail of separation web. The separation web exploded at the predetermined location and turned into a trip line.
One of the steel armors chasing behind him was tripped due to its excessive speed. At this time, the delayed spider web bombs Peter had reserved on the remaining sides of the trip line suddenly triggered.
Bang! Several clusters of web bombs exploded at extremely small intervals, layering the steel armor in webbing.
That steel armor was directly wrapped into a cocoon, much like the "capture belt" used by a spider to wrap its prey in silk.
Without the encirclement of one suit of armor, Peter suddenly felt that the pressure was greatly reduced. So he didn't stop and continued running along the walls and ceiling in the room.
The other two armored suits were also chasing him. At a certain moment, he suddenly braked hard, and at the same time, his hands shot out webs that stuck to the two armored suits.
The AI system noticed his deceleration and immediately ordered the armored suits to slow down and chase him, but it also fell into Peter's trap. Peter pulled the web lines hard, and the two armored suits collided directly and fell to the ground with a clatter.
Peter was startled: "Damn it, you didn't take apart Mr. Stark's suits, did you?"
"You kid, you sneaked into my office and took apart my suit?" A voice suddenly sounded.
Immediately afterwards, the nearby elevator stopped, and two people appeared inside.
Peter knew both of them. One was Iron Man Tony Stark, whom Peter had met. The other mature woman was Stark's rumored girlfriend and Stark Industries CEO Pepper Potts. Of course, Peter had never seen her before, but he usually paid attention to Stark Industries, so he often saw her on their official website and in some interviews, recognizing her at a glance.
"Kid, some estimate each of my Iron Man suits at $560 million. If you remove the fraction, that's exactly $1.7 billion. How are you going to compensate? By credit card or cash? How about working for me for the rest of your life?" Tony Stark looked at Peter with a very serious expression.
Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Peter jumped down from the ceiling in embarrassment, took off his spider mask, and said at a loss: "Yes, I'm sorry Mr. Stark, Ms. Potts, that's me."
Pepper Potts patted Tony's arm and glared at him: "You scared the kid."
Tony shrugged and snapped his fingers. Click, click, click— the armor fragments on the ground shook, flying into the air one by one, and then pieced together again in a few breaths.
On the other side, the armor bound by webbing spurted out flames, burning all the webbing on the surface. After a while, three pairs of armored suits that were as clean as new flew back to where the suits were stored.
Only the mess in the room could explain what Peter did here just now. Only then did Peter realize that Stark, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, was actually teasing him!
That's right, he didn't exert much force at all, and basically used clever moves throughout the process. How could he really cause damage to these suits made of a gold-titanium alloy?
And now think about it carefully, if each suit was $560 million, wouldn't three suits be $1.68 billion? Why was it $1.7 billion? Was there some rounding up operation?
What a ruthless capitalist! However, after thinking about this, Peter also relaxed. This showed that Tony Stark was indeed joking with him.
"Come on, kid, come and sit over here," Pepper walked over to Peter, took his hand, and led him to sit on the sofa. And Tony Stark was already sitting there nonchalantly.
"Tell me, Mr. Pajamas, if you're not doing your community service, why are you here?"
"I'm not Mr. Pajamas," Peter argued, but looking at the mess in this office, his tone softened unconsciously.
Fortunately, Tony got down to business, which gave Peter a way out. He picked up his backpack and took out a test tube and a packaging bag.
What was in the test tube was a spider silk optical microscope. Because this would break if taken out of a sterile environment for too long and could not be used, so he had to take a test tube and soak it in sterile water for storage.
The packaging bag contained the SPC-120703 polymer biomass fiber material. Although it is biomass fiber, it is actually the same as other polymer fibers, so it does not have much storage requirements.
Peter put the two items on the table and pushed them in front of Tony along with his planning book and research report.
Tony picked one up with interest. Pepper brought two drinks from the refrigerator and gave one each to Tony and Peter.
Tony was casual at first, then became a little more serious. Seeing his demeanor, Pepper also became curious. At this time, Pepper got herself another drink and sat down next to Tony.
Tony handed her the copy he had read: "Here, take a look at it too, it's very interesting."
Pepper put her drink on the table, took the research report and the plan and read them. Looking at the actions of the two, Peter felt very nervous. It was a lot like when he was interviewing to get into Midtown High School. That time it was for school. And this time, it is for investment, so that he can better devote himself to the superhero cause, and so that Aunt May can have a better life!
A few minutes later, Tony and Pepper had finished reading both of the items Peter had given them.
Tony looked at Peter in surprise: "Did you make this yourself?"
Peter hesitated and nodded. Although it was developed in the Amazing Spider-Man's universe when he was fused with that Spider-Man, it can still be considered developed by him, right?
