"Gamora, wait here for a moment. I'll be right back."
Looking at the Iron Man armors exploding in the projection, Xia Yu gave a casual instruction, then opened a portal and walked through.
Gamora, who had been instructed, gave an "mm" in response. Holding the bottle in her hands, she sat obediently on the chair, quietly waiting for Xia Yu to return.
On the other side, Xia Yu arrived at the port from the projection via the portal, which was the base of the villain Aldrich in Iron Man 3.
He hadn't paid much attention to the plot of Iron Man 3. After all, there weren't many significant benefits to be gained from the entire story, except for the Extremis virus at the end, which piqued his interest slightly.
After all, this rare tool-like virus was quite valuable for collection. In the plot, Tony's girlfriend, Pepper Potts, was injected with this virus and directly became a superhuman. Not only was she unafraid of fire, but she also gained powerful defensive and offensive capabilities.
Once the virus was extracted later, her body returned to its peak condition without leaving behind even a single side effect.
When he first saw this plot, Xia Yu wondered why anyone would give up such a great tool virus.
Inject the virus first, let it boost the host's metabolism and promote self-healing, and then extract the virus once the repairs are complete—wouldn't that be the equivalent of a perfect treatment?
Although he could understand why no one did this—since injecting the Extremis virus carried a risk of self-detonation—couldn't it just be improved? Completely abandoning such a tool virus because of its side effects was simply too wasteful.
In any case, once he collected the Extremis virus, he would definitely improve it and see if it could be integrated into the medical industry of Talos Company.
Currently, Talos's medical industry only consisted of the devils breath improved by Resident Evil Xia Yu and some future pharmaceutical data provided by AI Xia Yu.
Although it was already enough for him to dominate most of the medical industry, who would complain about having too many new products? That was all money.
Xia Yu pulled back his wandering thoughts, first casting a Breath Concealment Technique on himself before walking toward the center of the explosion.
Aldrich's remains, insta-killed by Pepper Potts, were still scattered there. The ground was covered with his fragments, which was perfect for extracting the Extremis virus.
In the center of the battlefield, Tony and Pepper Potts were still locked in a tight embrace, while a grand and luxurious fireworks display went off above their heads.
Xia Yu, with his presence completely concealed, stood to the side and snapped a photo of the scene using the Chat Group camera. After taking the picture, he couldn't help but marvel at how carefree Tony really was.
At this moment, Pepper Potts still had the Extremis virus in her body. If it accidentally exploded due to instability, the two of them would become a pair of doomed lovers.
Speaking of which, if he were to detonate Pepper Potts here, would the resulting turmoil directly affect deep space? After all, Iron Man was one of marvel's primary protagonists.
Hmm... Xia Yu suppressed this suicidal thought. He was afraid that as soon as he prepared to do it, some Deus Ex Machina would suddenly appear and flatten him.
Even without a Deus Ex Machina, the consequences would likely be far beyond his ability to handle. After all, there was a precedent for this.
The big shot Justice Buster Luo had once accidentally sent out a photo of Batman wetting the bed to a group, which directly led to the reboot of the DC Universe. Xia Yu was afraid that if he blew up Iron Man here, the Marvel Universe would also suddenly undergo a reboot.
If his world really did reboot, he would have no choice but to flee to another world.
Moreover, he was truly reluctant to abandon everything here. After all, he wasn't a quick-transmigrator, but a transmigrator.
After his mind wandered for a while, the Iron Man brand fireworks in the sky had finished exploding, and Xia Yu didn't linger any longer.
After collecting some of the Extremis virus from the ground nearby, he left immediately.
As a flickering portal opened, Xia Yu returned to his company. Seeing him back, Gamora hurriedly stood up to greet him.
"You're back."
"Mm..."
Xia Yu gave a casual response, then looked doubtfully at the portal, which had returned to normal. The flickering just now hadn't been an illusion, but why was the portal malfunctioning?
This was the first time he had experienced instability while using a portal. Was something about to happen again?
While Xia Yu was lost in thought, he suddenly felt a tug on the hem of his clothes. Turning around, he saw Gamora pulling at his shirt and looking at him.
Although she didn't say anything, Xia Yu could see the concern in her eyes.
Xia Yu smiled and reached out to pat Gamora's head. "It's nothing. Maybe I'm just being a bit paranoid. Don't worry."
As he spoke, Xia Yu closed the portal behind him. He then took out a cup of rich cola and smiled at Gamora.
"Come, let's keep toasting!"
...The next day, at noon.
Xia Yu snapped his eyes open as a soft female voice came from beside him.
"You're awake."
"Yeah, I was really tired last night and accidentally slept for quite a while," Xia Yu said to Gamora, clutching his head as he propped himself up.
His head still felt a bit heavy. Had he known, he wouldn't have studied so much last night. Tsk, it was his own fault; learning new knowledge was indeed quite addictive.
As the daughter of the cosmic deity Uncle Tun, Gamora had naturally inherited most of his high-level knowledge, making her almost omniscient.
However, since Gamora had never left home to explore, she had no idea how precious the knowledge stored in her mind was. Uncle Tun had always protected her well, which also meant she severely lacked common sense about the outside world.
For Gamora, that knowledge was simply stored quietly in her mind and didn't interfere with her thoughts.
Knowing this, Xia Yu naturally wasn't going to be polite. Hadn't he put so much effort into befriending Gamora precisely because she was a "treasure girl"? Now was the time to unlock that treasure.
Thus, Xia Yu directly asked Gamora to teach him how to use power, and she readily agreed.
Once he started learning, he became obsessed, not falling asleep until he was completely exhausted.
Seeing that he was tired, Gamora didn't disturb him and quietly spent her time learning about Earth's common sense through the internet.
And so, he had slept until now.
"Sigh, it really is too high-level," the now-awake Xia Yu sighed.
The power usage methods Gamora taught were far too advanced. Although he had studied all night, he hadn't even reached the beginner level.
But that was normal. After all, it was the knowledge of a cosmic deity; the fact that he could even understand it was a testament to Gamora's efforts.
"Sorry, it's my first time teaching someone else," Gamora whispered from the side upon hearing his sigh.
"It's fine, it's my own problem," Xia Yu comforted her. He wasn't thick-skinned enough to blame her for this.
After all, he was just a country bumpkin who hadn't even left Earth yet.
Just then, naike projected herself again: "Sir, please take a look at this."
As she finished speaking, a live news broadcast was projected by naike. In the news, a giant spaceship had appeared in Greenwich, London.
