Chapter 10: Blood and Flesh Bitter, Machines Soar (Ch 10)

…

After Leon finished his bath, the large-screen TV in the living room was replaying the scene where Tony decided to shut down the weapons department of Stark Industries.

“…Mr. Stark, what exactly happened to you during your kidnapping?”

“I saw young people die from the very weapons I was trying to build to protect them, and I saw that the system was comfortable with irresponsibility, and I became part of it.”

Speaking of.

Tony, who was sitting in front of the podium, suddenly stood up and returned to the podium.

“I’ve thought it through thoroughly.”

“I realized that I should have the ability and responsibility to contribute more to this beautiful but imperfect world, rather than just making some weapons that will explode.”

“So, I decided—”

“Close Stark Industries’ weapons manufacturing division, effective immediately!”

Tony trailed off.

The reporters in the audience were shocked.

Obadiah on the side couldn’t sit still anymore, and quickly went up to the stage to take over Tony’s words, trying to take back what Tony had just said.

But words once spoken cannot be taken away. Tony has made up his mind, and the closure of Stark Industries’ weapons manufacturing division is a foregone conclusion.

Leon had no interest in watching the subsequent replays.

He turned off the TV and was about to go back to sleep to replenish his lost energy over the past few days. At this moment, Jarvis reminded him:

“Master Leon, Mr. Stark called.”

“catch.”

“Leon, what are you doing? I’m not going home tonight. Pepper insisted that I stay in the company to handle the follow-up business of the closure of the weapons department.”

“If I come home and see the cover girl we agreed on lying on your bed, I’m going to kick your damn ass.”

“Oh, poor Tony, I can only feel bad for my brother.”

“Ghana~”

After the tea conversation, Leon immediately hung up the phone.

joke.

Will he listen to Tony?

I can do whatever the hell I want!

“sleep!”

“Good night, Master Leon.”

“Goodnight, Jarvis.”

…

When Leon got up and rubbed his hair which had become a mess, it was already noon the next day.

Tony had finished his work and returned home, and was now working on ironwork in his studio which also served as the underground parking lot on the lower floor.

Duang! Duang! Duang!

“Brother, are you still going to let me sleep?”

Leon complained while yawning and taking the elevator down.

“Leon, you’re just in time.”

Tony saw Leon coming over and took out a brand new small arc reactor and handed it to him: “Help me change this.”

“Wouldn’t it be fine if Pepper could do this little thing?”

Leon looked at Tony, who had taken off his shirt and was lying down, and asked.

“I’m afraid she’ll worry. She’s already under enough pressure.”

When he said this, Tony showed a rare hint of tenderness on his face.

“That’s true.”

Leon nodded in agreement, and quickly helped Tony replace the new arc reactor.

“So what should we do with this old one?”

Leon tossed the little gadget that saved Tony’s life up and down.

“Whatever you want.”

After putting on his shirt, Tony once again devoted himself to the manufacture of the armor. He planned to deal with the matter of his kidnapping after completing the second set of armor.

Tony originally disdained personal power because he was rich enough and felt that there was no problem in the world that could not be solved by money.

But after experiencing this kidnapping incident.

After seeing his brother Leon gain superhuman powers.

Tony’s thoughts gradually changed.

Nothing else to talk about.

He must regain his brotherly authority in front of Leon.

Otherwise, every time a similar incident occurs, his younger brother has to come to the rescue. As a billionaire and mechanical genius, doesn’t he have any face?

Tony will never allow Leon to be awesome on his own!

If we are brothers, let’s be awesome together!

Tony encouraged himself in his heart and gradually became more and more involved, not even noticing that Leon had scribbled on the back of his clothes.

The robotic arm that assisted Tony in his work did notice it, but when it wanted to remind Tony, Leon crushed the steel-shell graffiti pen in his hand into a ball.

Xiaodai suddenly stopped moving, pretending not to see what Leon did.

“It’s boring.”

Leon tossed the old arc reactor in his hand and soon lost interest in Tony’s boring armor assembly work because he couldn’t understand it.

‘System, are you there?’

Leon called out in his heart.

[Question: Do you want to sign in today? ]

“System, I heard it… Hey, wait a minute!”

Leon suddenly caught a glimpse of a round shield in the corner of Tony’s studio. It was red, blue and white with a five-pointed star logo printed in the center.

It is a high-replica model of Captain Beautiful Butt’s vibranium shield.

The original is still frozen in the Arctic along with Captain Beautiful Butt.

Leon walked over, and in order to verify a guess in his mind, he put down the old arc reactor in his hand, picked up the high-imitation Captain America shield, and started to sign in with the system.

‘System, I heard the echo of strong luck!’

“open!”

“Leon, why are you suddenly shouting so loudly? Get out!” Tony said angrily.

“Okay, bro.”

“Goodbye, bro.”

Leon threw down the high-imitation Captain America shield and walked away very decisively, just because… he could hardly suppress the crazy upward curl of his mouth corners.

As soon as he returned to his bedroom, he couldn’t help laughing.

“Hahahahahaha!”

“I did it! I f*cking did it!”

The system prompt that still echoed in Leon’s mind was such a pleasant sound~

Come on, we love to listen.

[Ding, today’s sign-in is completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the “Adamantium Skeleton”. ]

(ps: the protagonist will only be strengthened gradually, and will not be weakened intentionally. No matter if there are weaknesses or not, as long as they are overcome quickly, it is equivalent to having no weaknesses. Superman is so strong, but he is still afraid of kryptonite at the beginning. We have a daily sign-in system, so why should we care about you? If you want something, can’t you just sign in to one and be done with it? Also, are the bones of Soldier Boy really harder than adamantium? Can Homelander or Soldier Boy really withstand the nuclear bomb that Superman and the Man of Steel can’t withstand? The main theme of this book is a process of slowly strengthening, slowly upgrading, and slowly making friends. The protagonist will not be given too comprehensive abilities at the beginning or have ridiculously strong abilities as soon as they are obtained.)

[Adamantium skeleton: Made of the hardest metal known on Earth, the metal formula has been lost. This skeleton is indestructible, extremely resistant to high temperatures, specially supplied by the system, non-toxic, harmless, and has no side effects. ]

[Introduction: Congratulations, you have taken a step further on the path of not being a human being. ]

(ps: The biological stance of the later sign-in will directly offset the magnetic control. Don’t ask what to do if you meet Magneto. The self-healing ability will not be affected.)

“Awesome!”

“My guess was right!”

Combining the sign-in rewards from the previous few times, Leon can now be almost 100% sure that the system’s sign-in rewards are related to Leon’s own status, the environment he is in, and the objects he comes into contact with.

Maybe it has something to do with the characters around me, but this needs to be verified later.

In short.

It is determined that the system’s sign-in rewards can be artificially controlled within a foreseeable range, which makes it more operational.

Just when Leon was thinking that he would be able to punch Superman and kick Thanos soon, a sharp pain that pierced his heart and penetrated deep into his bones suddenly hit him!

“Fuck!”

[Explanation: The ‘Adamantium Skeleton’ begins to fuse. ]

“ha?!”

“Just started fusion?!”

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I thought you were going to have a painless abortion!”

Before his death, Leon complained to the system a few words, then fainted from the pain.

That’s the good thing about being young, they can fall asleep as soon as they lie down.

He was seen lying on his back in the soft and elastic double bed with his eyes rolled back, foam coming out of his mouth, and twitching from time to time.

It seemed like the person was still there, but in fact he had been gone for a while.

The other side.

Tony’s Mark II armor has also been prepared and has taken shape.

It seems like fate.

The two brothers forged their “iron bodies” in their own ways in perfect harmony, just as the famous saying goes:

Flesh and blood are weak, but machines ascend!

…

[Note: The Adamantium Skeleton will be regarded as the host’s natural constitution. The stronger you are, the stronger it will be. There is no upper limit.]

[Note: “Super Self-Regeneration” works normally on “Adamantium Skeleton” and is not affected by it.]
