Chapter 717 Going on the field to participate in the game? Money is a little tight lately
Time passes day by day.
While developing new potion formulas, Aaron improved his alchemy skills and accumulated valuable experience for eight enchantments.
On this day in April, he received a call from Pepper.
"Monaco? Racing?
Are you sure he went to watch the game and not to play? "
"You mean he will play?" Pepper asked in shock, "No?"
"I'm not sure." Aaron said ambiguously. The picture he divined was a whip splitting Tony Stark's car in half on the racing track.
But he couldn't tell Pepper this kind of thing, otherwise she might be able to stop him, but it was better to let nature take its course, otherwise something worse might happen.
"How is his research on the new elements going?"
"There seems to be no progress. You have been providing him with potions in the past few months, but the potions are being consumed faster and faster, and he has started drinking that... chlorophyll juice again."
"Okay!" Aaron held his forehead and shook his head, "Mr. Stark's pride made him decide to handle the problem alone.
It's understandable, after all, he vowed at the time that he would be able to find new elements given enough time, and he wouldn't ask for help until he couldn't hold on any longer. "
This is called saving face and suffering, and the psychological quality is slightly worse.
"Can you help him as soon as possible?" Pepper begged.
"Don't worry, I will help him." Aaron promised seriously. Finding the new element would not only cost one thousand magic points, but also a reward of 100 million from Tony Stark.
Although S.H.I.E.L.D. has an order worth millions every month, according to the exchange ratio of 10,000 US dollars per delicious point, he can only redeem a few hundred delicious points every month.
As his physical fitness continues to improve, ordinary ingredients have little effect on him.
But high-grade ingredients are not cheap. Just one rainbow fruit is enough for him to sell medicine for a month, and he also has a dragon and a phoenix to raise at home, and their appetites are not small!
Now he only has less than three digits of delicious points left, and he urgently needs money to top up, otherwise he will have to use magic to drink poison to quench his thirst.
Thinking of this, Aaron sighed heavily. Not enough magic points made him feel poor, but he didn't expect that he would have to worry about money after just one year.
And if nothing else goes wrong, we will have to spend more and more money in the future, and these days are getting really sad.
Let's just use Captain Jack's compass this time. We have to get the 100 million as soon as possible.
"Your invitations and tickets are ready. The time is eight o'clock the day after tomorrow."
...
Monaco.
A luxury car parked in front of the Paris Hotel. Tony Stark, wearing a suit and ties and wearing sunglasses, got out of the car and waved to the cheering local residents around him.
Pepper got out of the car, and Happy, the driver and bodyguard, walked into the hotel with the two of them carrying a red suitcase full of mechanical style.
"This is Europe, no matter what happens, we have to let nature take its course." Tony said to Pepper nervously, because some things were about to come to a showdown.
In order to prevent his little pepper from losing face to him in public, he had to take a small vaccination in advance.
"Yes, let it be." Pepper smiled and nodded. She didn't want Tony to know that she had invited Aaron here to solve the problem of Tony's palladium poisoning.
Although his intention was good, he was afraid of hurting Tony's self-esteem.
The two looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
"Mr. Stark." Natalie, who was wearing a red dress and was charming, came over and said hello, "The journey went well!"
"Very well, it's really nice to meet you."
When Pepper meets Natalie, she seems to understand why Tony wants her to let things take their own course.
After hiding it under her nose for so long, it was finally exposed today.
Pepper took a glass of wine from a waiter, "When did you hire her."
"You forced me." Tony avoided his eyes and said in a calm tone as much as possible.
"What did I force you to do?"
At this time, the photographer from the Monaco Racing Club came over and said, "Smile, look here."
Tony and Pepper looked at the camera, but the smiles on their faces were unnatural.
"I've guessed it a long time ago." Pepper said with a smile, cursing inwardly.
After all, he failed to guard against it and let him succeed.
"Don't put on a bad face and take pictures!"
After the photographer finished taking the photo, Tony looked at Pepper with concern, "You look a little tired, do you need a massage? I'll ask Natalie to arrange it."
"I don't want Natalie to arrange anything."
"Well, let's go to Aaron's place after we get back. His cactus is very effective in getting rid of fatigue.
I didn't mean not to tell you. "
Pepper smiled slightly, "I didn't mean not to tell you."
"What?"
Pepper raised her glass to the bar. Tony looked over subconsciously and saw Aaron sitting there with a glass of colored juice in his hand.
"Did you invite him here?" Tony said with an unnatural expression.
"That's right!" Pepper breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the bar.
"Does she know?" Tony looked at Aaron with complicated eyes, "Tell me you didn't tell her."
"I'm very sorry, I told her." Aaron smiled meaningfully, "I called her right after you and Natalie left my store.
But I only told her about your physical condition. As for Natalie... I didn't mention a word. "
"How could you?" Tony said with resentment on his face, "I don't want her to know about this, you should understand."
“It would be really irresponsible to hide such a thing from her.
Although I am young, I definitely met true love earlier than you, and I know better what concealing it means to her.
You think it's for her own good, but she definitely doesn't think so. "
"Why didn't you tell me?" Pepper looked directly into Tony's eyes and asked, "Are you going to have to wait until you die before I know that you really handed over the company to me?"
"I just don't want you to worry too much. It's useless for you to worry." Tony explained far-fetchedly, "And Aaron has done the divination. I can succeed in the end, so there is no need to tell you."
"Since you can succeed, you should tell me, right?
During this time, I have been pretending not to know anything, but whenever you need me, I will rush there as soon as possible. I feel that I have done nothing wrong.
I've been waiting for you to take the initiative, even though it's unlikely.
But as soon as I walked in the door today and saw Natalie, haha, I suddenly felt that what I did was a little redundant. "
Tony Stark: ...
"It's my fault, I shouldn't have hid it from you.
I apologize to you, and I will return Natalie to you later. "
"No need, just keep it for yourself!"
Tony looked embarrassed, and then looked at Aaron angrily, "Are you satisfied now?"
"Absolutely, it's more interesting than I thought." Aaron said half-jokingly.
"Then what are you doing here?"
"Save your life."
Tony's pupils shrank and he couldn't stand the passage: "No way!"
"Although the palladium element is corroding me faster and faster, it is still below 30%. With your medicine, I still have at least one year left."
"It's not the palladium, it's the racing today."
"Tony." Pepper suddenly thought of something and stared at him seriously, "Are you going to participate in the game in person?"
"Ah..." Tony nodded in confusion, "I tried every combination of every element, but nothing met the conditions.
So I wanted to do something exciting and look for inspiration. "
"No, I don't agree, I absolutely, absolutely disagree." Pepper immediately objected. Racing is too dangerous. What if there is an accident?
"Well, since you said so, then I..."
"You have to go," Aaron interjected, "and you have to go, or it could be worse."
"What do you mean?" Pepper asked nervously, "Is it dangerous not to participate in the game?"
"No, there is a risk in going to the game, but in not playing the risk is delayed and becomes unknown.
The known dangers are not terrible, but the unknown..."
Tony pursed his lips, "Then it seems I have to go, right?"
"Yes."
"Can you tell me what the danger is?"
"I only divined a small fragment, a whip hit your racing car."
"Whip?" Tony raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Are you sure it's a whip, not a cannonball?"
"The whip split your car in half, and you and the car flipped out."
"OMG!"
Pepper was so horrified that she unconsciously covered her mouth with her hands.
Tony was silent for a few seconds and waved to Natalie.
"What's the matter, Mr. Stark?"
“I’m going to go out there and race, help me get a car ready.”
"Wait, Natalie." Pepper stopped her and hesitated: "Speed doesn't matter, defense must be the best.
In short, safety comes first, understand? "
Natalie was stunned for a moment, but she seemed to understand something when she saw Aaron sitting on the chair, "I know, I will arrange it."
"Inform Happy and ask him to prepare the car and the suitcase to ensure that he can rush into the arena at any time."
"OK."
"Tony, have you brought the elixir?" Aaron smiled meaningfully, "If you have, you can try the effect. Believe me, you won't be disappointed."
Tony was stunned for a moment, then took out a light golden glass bottle from his pocket, "I originally planned to drink it while looking for new elements."
“Let’s deal with the immediate trouble first!
As for the new elements, I can help you find them after I go back. "
Natalie, who was standing aside, heard a flash of light in her pupils when she heard this.
It's time to inform Nick Fury. Although it may be a little late, who knows that Aaron will come out halfway, and Tony Stark obviously still has enough time.
"That's not right. Why are you so active in my affairs?"
"Money has been a bit tight recently." Aaron said a little embarrassed, "We agreed at the time that I would be paid 100 million for helping you find new elements."
"Hahaha!" Tony couldn't help laughing, "This is the benefit of having money.
But I'm curious. According to my estimation, the wealth you have is tens of millions at least, and you spent it all in just one year.
Could it be that you are like Stark, drinking millions of dollars in wine as plain water? "
"Regeneration is a profession that burns money." Aaron spread his hands and revealed professional secrets in front of Natalie. "Making medicine consumes materials, regenerating organisms requires money, and making special weapons requires even more money.
Tens of millions are nothing, and there will be more and more places to spend money in the future."
"What weapons are you talking about?" Pepper asked curiously.
"The bullet I made." Aaron took out his bullet that was enchanted seven times but not eight times, "The pinnacle of my life."
"It doesn't look like anything special." Tony pursed his lips and said.
"Do you know what it means to be able to judge a person by his appearance and to be able to measure the sea by a bucket?
The power of this bullet will not be worse than the missiles produced by your Stark Company, but it also consumes a lot of resources." Aaron said half-truthfully, "So do you want to buy it? I'll sell it to you for only 100 million."
After hearing the first half of the sentence, Tony was only half-believing and half-doubting, but after hearing the second half, he just thought Aaron was joking.
The bullets he made may have special features, but they will never be exaggerated to exceed missiles.
"If you need money, just tell me. I can lend it to you.
One billion or even tens of billions is no problem."
"You don't believe me?" Aaron looked at him unkindly.
"Uh... No, it's just that I was the world's largest arms dealer.
I still prefer my armor to bullets."
"Tsk! You have no vision.
Mr. Tony Stark, I'm very sorry to tell you that you missed the biggest deal in your life."
Tony shrugged indifferently, "Maybe I will regret it one day in the future."
"Tony, is that you?" A man in a white suit came over.
"This is the guy I hate the most, Justin Hammer." Tony introduced him to Aaron in a low voice.
"Hey! How are you, man?" Hammer patted Tony's shoulder in a familiar way, and said with a smug smile: "You are not the only rich man who drives a luxury car."
"Luxury car, yes, luxury car." Tony looked at Natalie, "Luxury car, understand?"
"I understand, I'll arrange it now."
"This is Christine from "Vanity Fair." Hammer pointed to the intellectual woman in a light green dress next to him, "Do you two know each other?"
"I know, but not familiar." Tony said, his little pepper is still here, he is not going to admit his relationship with another woman in front of her.
"No, we are familiar." Pepper smiled far-fetchedly.
"By the way, big news.
Congratulations to the new CEO of Stark Industries."
"I know, if I ask you, I will be scolded to death by the editor-in-chief." Christine looked at Pepper and said. "Can I?"
"Of course."
"She's going to interview me in Vanity Fair, so I'll let her interview you."
"Now do you know why I hate him?" Tony lowered his voice, not paying any attention to Justin Hammer beside him.
"Almost." Aaron nodded, "He feels good about himself, and exudes a mysterious confidence, but... you're not much better than him when you're narcissistic."
