Mutants' Daily Life [Comprehensive British and American]

Some trivia before the trip

"To Egypt?"

Tony's voice came from the computer: "What fun is there in such a desolate place?"

"Charles seems to be interested in pyramids. I don't understand those humanities knowledge."

Carlos propped his chin, and while looking at the computer screen on the computer screen, the robotic arm squeezed juice, and replied: "But in fact, there is nothing to study about that thing. Mortals always want to be favored by gods, or want to become gods themselves. They Building a pyramid, like building a ladder to the sky, is futile."

When he said this, he also read an ancient Egyptian language with great interest.

"What?" Tony just appeared from the video at this time.

Holding a weapon in the shape of a bazooka, he came out from under the table, wearing a black long sleeve that is resistant to dirt, and a safety helmet, just like a worker on a construction site, unkempt and very sloppy, and asked curiously casually: " You didn’t speak English just now, did you?”

"Ancient Egyptian."

Carlos pursed his lips and replied: "It probably means that the sky extends its light to you so that you can go to the sky, just like the eyes of Ra. Ra is the sun god of Egypt and the leader of the group of gods in Egypt... ...well, Lord God."

"You can actually speak Egyptian?" Tony said in surprise.

"Only a little. Most of the time, the gods of different systems don't communicate with each other very much, because everyone is very proud... However, occasionally there will be outliers, such as the Nordic evil god Loki, who likes to run around. Although I haven't seen him a few times, I have a deep impression on him, because he...he is a bit strange, and compared with the Nordic gods, his acting style is a bit out of tune. How should I put it, at first glance, it is like a fox falling into the Well, anyway, in order to deal with this situation, I learned several languages ​​with Hermes when I was on Mount Olympus."

Carlos answered so honestly.

Tony echoed: "It seems that God also needs to learn."

"It's the same everywhere. It's just that people study the laws and use them; gods control the laws and change the laws. This is the truth my mother taught me, but I don't think I can do that for a long time. But , not many gods are strong enough to change the law, most of them are at the level of mastering the law."

Carlos sighed regretfully, and continued to talk about the pyramid problem: "...Actually, the Egyptians made a little mistake. Not all gods live in the sky, at least I don't. So, don't say that the pyramid is a symbol. Things, even if they build a ladder, the souls of the dead will not be able to enter the kingdom of heaven. Speaking of which, I have never seen the gods of Egypt. Their behavior is a bit low-key and closed. comminicate."

Tony listened and listened, but was not interested.

He continued to rattle the weapon on the other end, going in and out of his left ear and out of his right ear as always.

Carlos quickly noticed this.

He closed his mouth, feeling a little hurt.

But as soon as he got to work, Tony, who forgot to eat and sleep, didn't have the delicate nerves to guess other people's minds.

He smashed and smashed with a hammer, and twisted and twisted with a wrench. He was very busy.

Carlos had to lie there alone bored, watching him work.

After a while, he suddenly asked, "Tony, how did you feel when you found out that you were no longer growing taller?"

Tony staggered, the hand holding the wrench almost flung his foot.

"What a good question!" He threw the wrench aside resentfully, and turned his head to glar at it.

But when he saw Carlos with his beard sticking on, pretending to be an adult ridiculously, he couldn't bear to open his mouth to ridicule.

So, he rarely thought about it seriously, and replied: "First of all, I'm not short. Secondly, I don't remember what mood I was in... Finally, when I found out that it doesn't detract from my charm, I don't think it's important gone."

He opened his arms and said with a shy smile, "Did you see the cover of yesterday's fashion magazine? Next to my photo, it says - everyone loves Tony Stark!"

"I knew it, I knew it, it's useless to ask you!" Carlos was quite dissatisfied with the other party's showing off, and planned to hang up the video.

"Hey, I just wanted to tell you to have faith in yourself, baby."

Tony blinked his eyes wide, and explained with an innocent face: "Look, sweetheart, no matter what you look like, I'm not always good to you."

Carlos pursed his lips, still depressed.

"Ah, that's right! I forgot to tell you, I'm going to go on a long trip soon, to Afghanistan, to demonstrate weapons to the military..."

He suddenly raised his voice and said: "These days, I have to be busy debugging my new invention. When you set off for Egypt, I won't send you off. However, this year, I remember to ask Jarvis to help me express it to You have a birthday present. Happy birthday, remember to sign for it tomorrow."

Hearing the word 'gift', Carlos finally cheered up.

However, he asked strangely: "Birthday gift? Isn't it my birthday tomorrow? My birthday is not this week."

"Isn't it?" Tony asked in surprise, "Then who's birthday is this week?"

"I don't know, but my birthday is in spring, don't you remember?"

Carlos frowned.

"Uh... just treat it as an ordinary daily gift."

Tony avoided the sentence of whether to remember or not, and instead asked without guilt: "Remember to sign for the gift."

Carlos rolled his eyes: "Okay."

Then, after thinking for a while, he remembered Tony's kindness to him, and he rarely took the initiative to say: "When I come back from Egypt, I will bring you a gift too. Tony, do you have anything you want?"

"You cheapskate, thank you for bringing me something!" Tony said disdainfully.

Then, he thought about it, and made a joke casually: "If you really want to give me a gift, get me a mummy!"

Carlos looked at him in surprise, and nodded believing it was true: "Then I'll look for it carefully then."

After finishing speaking, he also commented: "Tony, your preferences are really unique."

The next day, before receiving the courier, Carlos was still in a very happy mood.

Because, he thought he would receive a big birthday cake or something, no matter how bad it was, it would be a new game console...

However, when he opened the express delivery, he saw a beautiful and luxurious red backless evening dress dress that could make women scream, and two boxes, one large and one small, containing matching necklaces and earrings. A pair of exquisite high-heeled shoes are contained in the big box...

"whatthef #ck!"

Carlos' whole body turned completely gray.

at the same time,

Due diligence, I have carefully prepared a birthday gift for my boss in advance, which is convenient for the boss to favor the female assistant. The loyal Happy is still swearing to Pepper: "I swear, Tony will definitely remember you this time. Birthday, really."

"That's a real thank you to him."

Pepper raised his eyebrows, smirked in disbelief, and said politely.

On the eve of Tony's departure for Afghanistan.

Sure enough, she didn't receive any birthday surprises.

Really, as expected.

' Luckily there was no hope. ' The shrewd and capable assistant thought indifferently.

Then, she continued to chase after Tony with a business-like attitude and a faster speech speed to report on her recent work: "...the music program of diaplayer that you were interested in before, the acquisition failed, and Mr. Zuckerberg rejected it. Our purchase request."

"Who is Zuckerberg? And what's that program for?" Tony asked, biting into a sandwich.

"Uh...Mr. Zuckerberg is a high school student. His full name is Mark Zuckerberg. He is a programming genius. He invented the music program DiaPlayer, which is a software program that can automatically recognize the user's tastes and hobbies."

Pepper looked down at his notebook and answered as quickly and as detailed as possible.

"Oh, I remembered that software. But why did he refuse? Not enough money? Or has it been sold to someone else? Which one? Microsoft?"

"No, he rejected Microsoft as well."

Pepper paused for a moment, then replied in a complex tone: "He released the software on the Internet for free, allowing everyone to download it freely."

Tony froze for a moment.

He blinked his big eyes, snapped his fingers, and said appreciatively, "Sounds crazy and personal!"

Pepper thought for a while and said, "You are probably the least qualified person to say that about others."

Tony laughed loudly: "Jarvis, help me download a copy of that free music software."

The polite British accent immediately responded: "Okay, it's an honor to serve you, sir."
