Chapter 54 Old plot
Everything was just like the plot of the original timeline. After Tony Stark escaped from trouble, he held a press conference as soon as possible and then announced the closure of the weapons manufacturing department.
Because he grasped the accurate trends in advance, Cowus made a lot of money in this wave of stock market fluctuations - from a sharp rise when he was out of trouble, to another decline after the press conference, in just three days, Cous's $1.5 million has turned into $2.4 million.
But when he thought that he had missed out on that big surge despite having more than 10 million US dollars in his account, Kaous couldn't help but feel resentful towards Happy.
"Tony Stark still owes me a million dollars!"
It is a pity that Stark immediately became the focus of major news events after returning to the company. The continuous heavy workload made him almost breathless, which made him forget about the debt.
Only Cauius still remembers.
Tony Stark has been very busy recently, completing the Mark 2 and Mark 3, returning to Afghanistan to destroy the weapons left by Stark Industries, and foiling the conspiracy of the Ten Rings Gang. When a series of events occurred, Cauus I could only open my sleepy eyes, glance at the news on TV, and mutter: "Tony Stark still owes me a million dollars!"
These days, Kausu is not completely idle.
The room was filled with things from the glove box in the basement. As a great lord who searches for things, he would not throw away any items easily.
Food and drinks were stuffed into the "portable black hole" and piled in the corner of the basement by category; useless gray items were sold at the flea market; junk equipment was all broken down; and the materials in stock were used by him to develop various life skills. .
As for those gadgets that cannot be sold and are reluctant to be discarded, they are all put into backpacks of various sizes. The "Dragon Skin Bag" contains ten "Demonized Spirit Pattern Cloth Bags", and two more are stuffed into the "Madman's Suitcase". "Hradirim Treasure Bags", packed one inside another, packed layer upon layer, finally cleared out the basement that had been flooded with garbage.
——So don’t underestimate the inconspicuous “bag of illusions” thrown in the corner. It contains at least more than two hundred tons!
On this day, he finally gathered together a lot of miscellaneous parts such as Titan steel ingots, cobalt screws, polar furs, iron golem parts, etc., and then started to make the second mount that could drive on the road with great swagger - Mechanical Roadmaster. !
In the simple world view of the people of Azeroth, "Why should we spend money to buy something if we can build it?"
While he was making noises in the basement, he was distracted by looking at Little Carrie who was having a great time playing next to him.
Ever since she entered the basement once, Carrie fell in love with it. But she didn't dare to come in alone, and Kausi had to take her with him every time.
"Why can't you come in yourself?"
"Because the time and space here are in extremely distorted dimensions, only the Lord of Dimensions can accurately locate every time and space node. Anyone else who enters the basement will immediately be lost in the distorted time and space - including me. !”
No one knows the reason for the formation of the basement better than Kaus. So when Carrie hinted that she was the so-called "Lord of the Dimension," he didn't take it to heart. But such a professional explanation and the plain tone when he mentioned "distorted time and space" made Kausu finally doubt Carrie's identity.
"Is it possible that this little guy is a mutant with omega potential?"
Thinking of Omega monsters such as Phoenix, Scarlet Witch, Swarm, and MR.M, they can either manipulate time and space or modify reality. Their own strength is enough to compete with the dimensional demon head-on.
But where did Xiao Jiali know all this knowledge about time, space, dimensions, and nodes?
Kausu tentatively asked his question, but Carrie quickly gave her answer.
"My father taught me this. His name is Garland."
"Oh..." After carefully recalling the Marvel plot in his memory, he confirmed that he had not heard of celebrities such as "Garland". Kausu felt relieved and patted Carrie's little head. "It seems that your father is a very knowledgeable mutant. I hope to chat with him in the future."
Poor Cowus was completely and unintentionally misled, because Carrie had always only known her father's nickname "Garland" - and the tramp's full name was actually "Galactic".
This episode did not affect Kausi's mood. He stuffed the newly finished Mechanical Roadhog into his backpack, and found some beautiful jewelry as gifts for Carrie in the junk pile. He held a basket and prepared it. The storm ray that served as dinner returned to the hall chatting and laughing.
The door was open, it was dark outside, and there was not a single guest in the hotel. Only Erica hugged her knees and leaned on the sofa, drinking a drink and watching the news attentively.
"What's new?"
"Yes!" Erica pouted at the TV, ""RoboCop" vs. "Iron Fist"!"
"What kind of movie is this?" Kausi looked sideways and saw news being broadcast on the TV, where two robot monsters, one big and one small, were fighting fiercely.
"Hey, Iron Man vs. Iron Overlord?" Kausz suddenly became interested, threw the storm ray to Carrie, and took a bottle of juice and sat down on the sofa.
A certain street on the TV was in a mess, with debris everywhere after the explosion. Small missiles and heavy machine guns ruthlessly tore apart vehicles and buildings like pieces of paper. The camera was shaking violently, and the dedicated cameraman was following the two large iron cans, regardless of the danger.
A fireball flew from nowhere and pierced the night, hitting the Iron Overlord heavily. Apart from adding a black spot to the Iron Overlord who was launching the attack, it did not cause any damage to the big iron can—— Knowing that his skills were not as good as Tony Stark's, Obadiah made Iron Overlord full of furry atmosphere: thick skin, thick blood, strong, and resistant to beatings!
The camera flashed, and a team wearing police uniforms appeared on the street.
"Hey, isn't this Phil Coulson? When did he become a New York police officer?"
Erica's eyes were sharp and she recognized a man with a high hairline in the crowd.
Kausu didn't pay attention to Colson, but he saw the fireball as big as a basin.
"Phil seems to have been working very hard recently!" He said with a smile. "In more than half a year, he has practiced [Flame Shock] to the point where it can replace rifle grenades. It seems that in three years at most, he will be able to reach the level of Lower than the level of a rocket launcher..."
"Just a rocket launcher?" Erica turned her head and stared at Kausi, "Three years is enough to train a good soldier. In other words, what you taught him doesn't actually have much practical significance?"
"Everyone has a corresponding talent, Erica!" Kausu emphasized without any shame. "The Gunsou and the Hand spent ten years training you to become a first-class killer, but Jinpin also spent ten years standing still. At the limit of human beings. Colson only has the elementary talent of getting close to the elements, but when some people were still children, the arcane spirit cheered and jumped around him, and even willingly became his slave! (Antonida Sri Lanka)”
Erica tilted her head and thought for a moment, then accepted Kausu's sophistry.
After watching it for a few times, Kausi lost interest in this clichéd plot.
This is the most common pattern in Hollywood - in the early stage, the villain suppresses the decent ones, and then Iron Man uses high-altitude ice to reverse the situation. Finally, with the help of the heroine, he overloads the reactor and explodes, turning defeat into victory.
"That's the plot, but what's going on with this phone call?"
Kausi looked at the phone with a confused look on his face, and the name of the caller was clearly displayed on the screen.
"Phil Coulson?"
