An auction house in May 2008

"Now we are going to auction an ancient painting from the Neon Kingdom. Although we don't know who the artist is, the artist's brushstrokes are exquisite and his painting skills are exquisite, and the things he painted are lifelike." The auctioneer slowly unfolded the painting. picture scroll.

It was a picture of a beauty, a young girl in the painting with blue hair like a waterfall and cherry lips.Accompanied by warblers and birds, the fragrance of flowers is lingering. Looking at this painting for a long time, the girl actually has the intention of inviting you into the painting.

In the painting, there are small bridges and flowing water, gurgling water in the pool, crimson carps playing among them, and some crystal clear dewdrops dotted on the green lotus leaves. Her wrists are as white as jade, and the water-colored jade bracelet complements her warm jade-like hands even more. Her slender white legs lift up the cold stream.

She lowered her head, sniffing the elegant fragrance of flowers, occasionally singing birds.The beautiful bird retracted its sharp claws and landed on the girl's shoulder.The young girl looked at the bright, charming smile, with gentle eyebrows and eyes, looking at the person outside the painting as if reproachful.

The auction hall fell silent for a moment, who could bear to scare that girl who looked like a fairy in a painting.They seemed to be in a trance, and even their breathing eased a lot.

Just then a voice broke the silence, "300 million." The man raised his sign and said.As if awakened by this voice, some rich people made their bids one after another, and the auction house became lively again.

The price has been rising steadily for a while, and even the auctioneer did not expect that this painting without the signature of a famous artist can be sold for such a high price.The girl in the painting seemed to feel something and smiled at him.

No, no, the current price is not enough.Such a lifelike picture of a beauty should be worthy of her, the auctioneer thought.

"3000 million." The person who made the original offer said again, and this time he directly raised the price to a new height.Frightened by the price, many rich merchants stopped thinking of buying the painting.

Although this painting does have a unique artistic conception, it is not produced by a famous artist after all, and it is not worth spending more money to put it on the stage.

"3000 million, is there anyone higher than this?" the auctioneer said dutifully, "3000 million for the first time!" he shouted.

"The second time for $3000 million!" He waited for a few seconds, and after making sure that no buyer wanted to speak, "The third time for $3000 million!" He tapped it with a small hammer, "Congratulations to Mr. 0529 for successfully photographing the ancient Painting, the lot will be sent to your room in a while."

"You said I bought this painting as Pepper's birthday present, will she like it?" The man in the dark suit loosened the tie around his neck, his caramel eyes were drunk, But it can confuse others the most.

"Compared to the presents given by Mr. before, maybe Miss Pepper will like this present." The gentleman's London accent sounded in the empty room, and the voice was mixed with electronic sounds, adding a touch of charm.

He remembered that his husband was an unreliable gift every time, at least this time it was normal.

The door was politely knocked three times, and the waiter respectfully took the tray and put the picture scroll taken by the man not long ago on the table in front of him, "Sir, the ancient painting you took has been delivered, you can check it .”

The man casually picked up the scroll, feeling a slight chill in his hands.His movements could not be called gentle as he unfolded the picture scroll. The delicate and beautiful girl was still sitting peacefully among the lotus leaves covering the sky and covering the sun, lowering her head and fiddling with the dewdrops that had just been picked.

A few birds landed on her shoulders, on the wooden bridge in the distance, on the lotus leaves, or on the lotus flowers she folded.

However, is it his illusion? The girl seemed to look up at him just now.The man pressed his drunken chaotic head, "Pack it up, I'm going to give it away."

Liberty City, Malibu Hills, California

The picture scrolls from the high-priced auction were randomly placed on the table and piled up with messy parts, as if they had been forgotten.

In the middle of the night, the picture scroll glowed brightly, but it was hidden in the darkness in an instant.

[To be honest, I have never been in touch with Tony Stark who has not yet become Iron Man. 】In the picture scroll, Clover is lying on the bed she imagined, speaking to her system.

The white puppet cat suddenly appeared, landed lightly on the bed, and stretched its body, [Actually, it's the same, it's just that he is more frivolous and unruly now than he became a superhero. 】Tuantuan is a concise and clear summary.

[You should be thankful, at least you didn't see Tony Stark put on gloves and snap your fingers as soon as you arrived in the mission world, otherwise, relying on your reflexes...] Tuantuan shook his head humanely, his eyes full of overflowing dislike.

[Tuantuan, I think you didn't fight for three days, and went to the house to expose the tiles! 】Clover hugged the ball angrily and took a deep breath, ah, these days with cats are so happy.

After struggling to no avail, Tuantuan let Muzi suck the cat. When she stopped, he jumped out of Muzi's embrace and combed his hair.

[It is now May 2008. According to the timeline, it was this month that Tony Stark was attacked in Afghanistan. It took three months to build the Mark Armor 5, break out of the siege, and begin to become Iron Man. lifetime. 】 Tuantuan said.

[Wait, do you still remember the beginning of the plot in the movie Iron Man? ] Clover asked, 【I remember Tony Stark went to Afghanistan on Pepper's birthday.And we were Tony's birthday present for her. 】

[Tony Stark traveled yesterday to the Ministry of Defense's awards ceremony, which is the day before Pepper Potts' birthday.Well, tomorrow is Pepper's birthday, and that's when the drama begins. 】Tuantuan sorted out the timeline.

[The task this time is simply to confirm the current timeline, collect the coordinates of this world and confirm that the plot of Tony Stark becoming Iron Man will not be changed.It's an easy task. 】 Tuantuan shook his fluffy tail.

【Is Tony Stark becoming Iron Man? ] Clover suddenly remembered what her friend said. That person once said that she hoped that Tony would never become Iron Man. She hoped that Tony Stark could live happily and not be overwhelmed by responsibilities.

【Your thoughts are dangerous now, Clover. 】The lumps of small fleshy pads were pressed against Muzi's hands, his emerald-like eyes were like clear and flawless jasper, and he could see through Muzi's thoughts at a glance.

[Okay, I just think about it casually.Not everyone chooses to protect the world after being hurt.Tony Stark has a beautiful soul. 】She gently pinched the round pads and rubbed them.

In the morning, Tony walked to his studio wearing a simple black vest, and started his modification work in the rhythmic and exciting music.

Not long after starting work, Pepper stepped on high heels and wore a decent suit and entered Tony's studio. She also held a folder in her hand. After entering the door, she began to report the itinerary of the past few days straight to the point.And about Tony who was supposed to be on the plane to Afghanistan an hour and a half ago.

Maybe it was because Pepper was pressing a little bit, Tony said unwillingly: "Why are you driving me away in such a hurry, do you have other arrangements?"

"It does," Pepper replied, opening the folder for Tony to sign.

"I don't like you like this." Tony complained childishly, completely unaware that today was Pepper's birthday.

"I can always have my own arrangements for my birthday." Pepper said, she saw Tony's slightly surprised face, and then, as if remembering something, she turned back to her messy workbench, and dug out her previous high price. Photographed ancient paintings.

"Oh, I forgot." He handed the scroll to Pepper, "I bought it before, it's not a valuable painting." After seeing her accepting his gift, he wished: "Happy birthday, Potts Miss."

"Thank you, Mr. Stark." Pepper accepted the unexpected gift in surprise, "Despite this, you still need to attend the new weapon display in Afghanistan on time."

"This is really disappointing, you know I don't want to hear this." Tony drank the coffee prepared by Pepper, said dissatisfied, but still walked out obediently.

Pepper was relieved to confirm that Tony was indeed going to catch up with the schedule, and she opened the ancient painting Tony sent.The girl in the painting is vivid on the paper, extremely agile.The coolness of the lotus pond in summer can be felt with just a glance.Sniffing carefully, you can also smell a touch of lotus fragrance.

"The birthday gift was actually a picture of a beauty." Pepper didn't know what expression to use to face it, "Forget it, compared to the previous birthday presents, this is more normal."

She carefully put away the painting, she couldn't believe what Tony said was not expensive at all.As far as the composition and style of this painting is concerned, it can make people feel emotionally attached to the scene. "Just help him put it away first."

Tuantuan stretched his waist, dipped his little claws into the water, and pulled a red carp, [What are you going to do now, Tony has already left for Afghanistan. 】It licks its hair wet with water.

[Are you asking knowingly?World consciousness will not let me stop him, what we can do now is to get to him as soon as possible. 】Clover said,【If that person knows that I didn't protect Tony in advance, she will probably be so angry that she will break up with me for an hour. 】

[Without this attack, no one knows how long it will take Iron Man to appear. ] Tuantuan pounced again, this time it fell into the water, and the crimson carp swam around it arrogantly.

No matter how smart Tuantuan is, it is still an AI. It may have emotions, but it has not yet reached the standard of being a human.It lacks the empathy that human beings have, and only at this time, Clover will feel that this simple-minded cat is an indifferent system.

Clover helplessly fished the troublemaker, Tuantuan, out of the water, and casually took out a towel to wipe its wet hair.
