American Comics: The Matrix

Chapter 22 I think your little brain must be overwhelmed by the heat (please read it later)

"These are all we have here. I'll send a message to Happy to buy some burgers." Pepper came over with some snacks.

"Why are you here?" Tony took the snacks blankly and blinked.

He felt that everything around him seemed a little strange.

"Jarvis, why did you release your underlying code?"

"Sir, you were the one who asked me to pull up the code," Jarvis said.

"Really?" Tony looked dazed, feeling like he was dreaming.

"That's because you need to rest!" Little Pepper said angrily, "You only slept for three hours in three days. You are crazy! If you work yourself to death, I will have to find a new boss!"

"Am I really too tired?"

Tony patted his head strangely. He really felt very tired.

But I feel that things are not that simple.

"I guess I'm just too tired. It can't be haunted, right?" He shook his head and laughed.

Jarvis:…

"Sir, you'd better rest immediately."

Jarvis cuts off the virtual projection.

It originally wanted to talk to Tony about the black shadow, but seeing how tired Tony looked, it didn't bring it up for some reason.

Moreover, it didn't have time to start the high-precision camera just now. Although it did record something, it was blurry. Even if it restored the image quality, it would be difficult to identify. The night was already very dark, and perhaps it was just an illusion caused by light and shadow.

It can't really be a ghost, right?
Jarvis, an artificial intelligence built based on science, naturally does not believe that there are ghosts in this world.

Outside Stark Tower.

Bant slid along the glass wall of the building. Biostatic electricity gave him strong adhesion ability, allowing him to maintain his weight even on the smooth glass surface.

"It's a pity that after the transformation, very few spider abilities are retained. Otherwise, with this biological static electricity, we can solve the problem of Flash Star's fear of slipping."

Bant leaped and landed on the roof of another building.

Then he jumped into the dark alley and walked onto the street.

Looking back at the towering building, the distinctive "Stark" logo glowed in the dark. He did not stay any longer and turned to walk towards the subway station.

It was almost an hour before he returned to Queens.

He did not go through the front door, but jumped through the window just like he did when he left.

Before entering the room, he glanced back at the window of his neighbor opposite his own--that was Mary Jane Watson's room.

The Mary Jane in this universe is not the same as the Mary Jane in Toby's version, as she had just moved here to live with her aunt not long ago.

"Peter hasn't come back yet."

Bant returned to his room. Instead of going to sleep, he immediately turned on his computer and turned into a little warrior.

"This old guy's performance is not enough to support Jarvis' level of artificial intelligence." Bant kept pressing the keyboard with his frog hands.

Just as he expected, after becoming a little warrior, his memory was greatly improved. Jarvis's underlying code flashed before his eyes like pictures. Even for the parts that were originally forgotten, he could fill in a rough outline based on the knowledge mastered by the little warrior.

He quickly typed on the keyboard, copying the code.

"Next, we just have to wait for Harry's money to arrive and then buy a supercomputer."

From this point of view, Bant needs to invest a lot of money in the early stage. Just a supercomputer may cost nearly 10 million US dollars.

"It's still more cost-effective to buy parts." He pinched his chin and thought. Buying a finished product would cost too much. He could just buy a slightly outdated supercomputer and modify it himself, which would save a lot of money.

But no matter how you calculate it, the money is still not enough.

The most Harry could personally come up with was tens of millions of dollars, and that was even if he had to sell some of his own valuable collections.

But Bant needs more than just a supercomputer.

"If the first product is mainly a mobile phone, at least several production lines will be needed, and advertising costs will also be a huge expense."

Even if R&D funds can be saved, Bant still has a headache.

Still need money!
"But who else do I know besides Harry who has enough money?"

His mind raced, and suddenly he thought of a blonde girl.

"Felicia?"

Felicia is indeed a rich girl.

Most of the Hardy family's money came from Felicia's father, the great thief Civet, who later set up a foundation to ensure that the wealth could be inherited.

"Should I sacrifice myself to be with a rich woman?"

Bant thought of Felicia's beautiful face and sexy figure, and suddenly felt that it was not unacceptable.

More importantly, Felicia has two faces after becoming a black cat, the blonde is gentle and quiet, the white hair is wild and moving...

Who wouldn’t be attracted by someone who is both pretty and rich?
But in the end, Bant gave up the idea.

In fact, Felicia couldn't afford to support him with much money. After the great thief Civet disappeared, the person who controls the Hardy Foundation is now Felicia's mother.

Bant had met this woman several times at school before. She was greedy, mean, and a little snobbish. It was impossible for her to invest money in an unknown person like Bant. Even if she did, she would want to take most of the profits.

"Difficult woman."

As Bant was thinking, the watch movement behind him flashed red again. He quickly jumped off the table and changed back to himself in mid-air.

After saving the file, he turned off the computer and lay down on the bed.

At this moment, his spider sense suddenly sounded.

Bant quickly looked out the window and saw Peter lying on his window like a big frog, stretching his head to look inside. He found that Bant was awake. Without thinking, he opened the window and jumped in.

"Huh, why are you awake?"

Peter said breathlessly, and before Bant could answer, he dumped out everything that had happened tonight.

"You won't believe it, but I ran into a lizard man!" He reached for the zipper on the back. "Do you know how big his claws are? And he has teeth!"

Only after taking off the spider suit did he look relieved.

It looks like walking more than ten kilometers in a pair of shoes that are too small and then taking them off.

"Lizard man? I know Zalbek is a lizard man." Bant teased while lying on the bed, "Have the lizard men already ruled America? I think your little head must be overwhelmed by the excitement."

After all, who doesn't know that it's squids, not lizards, that rule America?
(Doctor Octopus: Thinking about me?)

The noble Statue of Liberty is just someone else's dog.

"No, I mean it! You should have come with me so we could have caught him together," Peter said, rubbing his red skin. "But I let him get away."

"But seriously, next time I have to put some talcum powder on before I put on my suit. I'm getting prickly heat."

Speaking of squids ruling America, I suddenly thought of Zhang Parker becoming the mayor of New York. Isn't this a prophecy?
