"Do you need anything else? If you ask me, you should just take a ton of each. What can you do with just a hundred pounds?"
"How many Iron Man suits can you make like the one you're wearing? Five? Six? Surely you're not gonna go mixing small amounts of Vibranium into large quantities of aerospace materials, are you?"
"No way… Really?"
Luke glanced at the secretly stunned Tony Stark.
He had specifically sought out Tony to have him contribute more in the future.
With Tony Stark's intelligence, combined with the three special metals, he should be able to create some powerful suits.
Even if they couldn't compare to the comic versions, they should at least be stronger than those in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
As the richest man, what was the point of spending all day developing dozens of suits using aerospace materials?
Only the later Nano Suit was somewhat decent, and only barely.
If Iron Man hadn't been famous enough, and the director hadn't effectively given him plot armor, how could a suit made of nanotech have fought Thanos?
Thanos's blade could cut through Captain America's shield, which was made from proto-adamantium fused with Vibranium.
How many hits could the Nano Suit really withstand?
Most likely, one strike would shatter both the man and the suit.
Luke didn't want to handle everything personally. He needed someone to take care of minor problems.
Tony Stark was reasonably reliable.
By combining the three metals, he might even be able to stand on equal footing with Thor and Hulk.
If he also studied some magic and enchanted the suit, his combat power would increase further.
Tony was also hesitating.
Although he couldn't immediately produce hundreds of billions, tens of billions were no problem.
He had only asked for two hundred pounds at first because he was worried the goods might not be genuine.
Now that the materials had been verified, it seemed he could increase the order.
If he missed this opportunity, he wasn't sure he would ever find another source like this.
In any case, Tony was certain that aside from Luke, there was no way he could obtain this much Vibranium and uru metal from anyone else.
Not even with more money.
Divinely regulated materials were not something to joke about.
"Then… I'll do as you say. One more ton of each."
Tony gritted his teeth and decided to increase the order.
The main reason was that he had too many plans to carry out.
The Anti-Luke Armor, the Anti-Godzilla Suit, the Anti-Hulk Suit, and the Anti-Thor Suit.
Especially the Anti-Godzilla Suit. He absolutely had to build a giant mecha suit.
That required a large amount of precious metal.
Even mixing a small amount, two hundred pounds, of Vibranium at a ten-to-one ratio would barely scratch the surface.
Since he had decided, if he was going to do it, he would do it properly.
Tens of billions meant nothing for this kind of shit. He could afford it.
"That's more like it. Much more fitting for the richest man."
Luke was very satisfied. He raised his hand and produced a cubic meter each of Vibranium and uru metal.
"Wait a moment. I'm going to cut them."
Tony's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
Cut? Vibranium and uru metal can be cut?
Damn, he didn't buy fakes, did he?
While Tony was worrying,
he saw Luke flip his right hand, revealing a can of spinach.
Printed on it was a sailor-like man with a pipe in his mouth and biceps like mountains.
His ridiculously exaggerated arms were as thick as elephant legs.
The arms were so thick they could practically swallow a person.
Luke pressed the can and squeezed hard. The can seemed almost sentient, automatically popping the pull tab, and the contents shot out in a perfect arc, flying straight into Luke's mouth.
The inside of the can was left completely clean, not a single bit remaining.
Luke closed his mouth, chewed vigorously, and swallowed it in one gulp.
"I am filled with endless power!"
Luke's base strength, multiplied by the Ox Talisman's thousandfold boost and the spinach can's ten-thousandfold boost, reached an extremely terrifying level.
Luke even felt that he could blow up the universe with a single punch.
Moreover, the can of spinach itself granted Luke some of Popeye's cartoon-like traits, allowing him to perform many unbelievable feats.
For example..
Luke slapped the cubic block of Vibranium. Upon impact, the Vibranium voluntarily split into two large blocks and one smaller block.
The large ones weighed a ton each, and the small one weighed several hundred kilograms.
Immediately after, he slapped the uru metal again.
The uru metal also voluntarily split into more than ten pieces.
The metal blocks lined up neatly and orderly, like soldiers awaiting a general's inspection.
Tony Stark stared with wide eyes.
Wait, how could he split special metal just by slapping it?
Stan Lee, I report that someone is cheating!
"How exactly did you do that?"
Tony couldn't help asking. This scene had completely overturned his understanding.
He had thought that no matter how strong a person was, summoning a meteorite capable of destroying New York should be the limit.
But now? Luke didn't even bother to pretend.
Even if he had at least curled his fingers into a blade, it would have been more believable.
Luke glanced at Tony with a half-smile but said nothing.
Seeing this, Tony stopped asking and immediately had Jarvis transfer the money to Luke's account.
Seventy-seven billion U.S. dollars.
Even Tony would need several months to earn that much.
His energy project was only just beginning, and he was still far from becoming an international energy giant.
Spending so much money all at once made Tony's heart ache.
But… it was all worth it.
With the three special metals, he could build a more powerful Iron Man suit.
He would be better able to maintain Earth's peace.
But if he wanted to develop the Anti-Luke Armor, he would have to take it slowly.
Just from Luke's performance today,
all the design plans he had previously made would need to be completely scrapped and redesigned.
Tony clearly used a special transfer channel.
However, just a few seconds later, Luke's phone received a deposit notification.
"The money has arrived. Pleasure doing business."
Luke proactively shook Tony's hand, then turned and left.
It was only then that Tony realized the surrounding scene had suddenly changed, as if he had entered a parallel universe.
Tony frowned deeply.
Right. While the two of them had been talking just now, the people around them had seemed completely unable to see them.
He knew his face was his biggest calling card. Wherever he went, people usually gasped in recognition.
"Is this magic? What a bizarre method."
"In the future, I should try learning more magic. Maybe it can improve my Iron Man suit."
Tony had already realized that pure technology would have a hard time countering Luke.
Only magic could deal with magic.
With the special metals secured, Tony immediately took them back to his manor to conduct various tests and upgrade his Iron Man suit.
News of the transaction between Tony and Luke quickly reached those with vested interests.
Although no one knew exactly what the two had discussed, they could roughly infer the identities of the three metals from Tony Stark's expression and attitude.
At the very least, adamantium and Vibranium were obvious.
The existence of Vibranium was no secret to the higher-ups.
Many people immediately became excited.
They wanted adamantium and Vibranium too.
Especially Vibranium. The material was far too precious. Even S.H.I.E.L.D., after decades of accumulation, had obtained very little.
Under normal circumstances, they could only use Vibranium for small-scale experiments, measuring it in micrograms and milligrams.
Yet Luke had casually produced tons of Vibranium.
If S.H.I.E.L.D., or even the United Nations, could obtain large quantities of this material, human technology would experience a massive leap forward.
If nothing else, they could at least stand shoulder to shoulder with Wakanda and become a true universe-level civilization.
