Opened a martial arts school, and his eldest disciple Batman

Chapter 140 Tony: I understand everything

Du Mu looked at Tony who finished the hamburger in just two or three bites, and thought to himself that he was worthy of being Peter's master.

Delivering food for thousands of miles means that each trip is longer than Peter’s entire short career as a delivery man.

Tony at the side didn't finish his burger.

He had nearly a third of it left, so he handed it to Ethan beside him and said casually, "I hope you don't mind my saliva. This is the salary you received as my assistant. Thank you, you have a steady hand."

"Is your assistant's salary just one hamburger? And you are right, I hate your saliva," Ethan said. Although he swallowed, he still shook his head and refused Tony's payment.

Seeing this, Tony no longer hesitated and finished the rest of the burger in one bite.

Then he dusted off his hands, looked at Du Mu, and muttered while chewing: "So, who are you? FBI? CIA? Civilian rescue organization? Or the hired person sent by Obadiah to rescue me... to undertake the business?"

Du Mu shook his head and said, "Neither. I just wanted to do business with you, but I found out that you were not in New York, so I came to find you."

"Business? Huh?"

Tony looked at the guys lying in a pool of blood around him, pointed at them and said, "These people also want to do business with me, but unfortunately they never intended to pay me for letting me go alive from the beginning."

Du Mu said indifferently: "Well, if you must have a capital guarantee to give you a sense of security, you can call the CEO of Peter Pharmaceuticals when you return to New York. I am considered a part of Peter Pharmaceuticals."

When Tony heard about Peter Pharmaceuticals, he immediately put away the frivolous look he used to test the attitudes of strangers, and said in surprise: "Peter? You were sent by that young man to save me? Damn, what the newspaper said is right, young people like this are the future of America."

Finally understanding the other party's background, Tony felt that he did have many projects to cooperate with Peter Pharmaceuticals, and he immediately relaxed completely.

But just as he took a step forward and was about to walk out of the cave into the sunlight, he suddenly disappeared from the spot.

"Huh?" Du Mu was stunned.

He was very familiar with this kind of disappearing scene.

No way?
Du Mu immediately removed the blood sticker on his arm and returned to the martial arts gym.

Suddenly, Ethan was the only one left in the entire valley.

He looked in astonishment at the direction where the two men were originally, and then looked at the blood-red valley that was filled with deathly silence and where countless terrorist corpses lay.

It was hot in Afghanistan, but when the breeze blew, Ethan felt like he was feeling the cold wind of Siberia.

When Du Mu returned to the martial arts gym, he saw Tony, who looked confused.

It really is...

So, doesn't that mean there are three time travelers in this Marvel world? Isn't that a high ratio?
However, Du Mu was poor when he was a child in his previous life, and was busy with work when he grew up. He could only watch movies during holidays and animation during his commuting time, so he did not watch many movies.

These time travelers were all from works that Du Mu had seen in his previous life, and there was no one he didn’t recognize.

Du Mu suspected that this was related, but there was no evidence, it was just a guess.

But think about it from another perspective, although they come from the same world, they are the protagonists in different movies. Every time traveler has been the "protagonist" more than once, but those movies finally unified into the same worldview.

Tony looked at the surrounding environment blankly. Fortunately, Du Mu's appearance made him feel relieved and he did not appear too flustered.

"I now suspect that I am really dreaming. What is 49298 times 29989? ​​. Very good, I am probably not dreaming. Am I taking drugs?"

Tony did a random multiplication in his head. Seeing that he was about to start counting prime numbers, Du Mu sighed and said, "If you don't want to accept reality, just take a step back, walk out the door, and forget that you have ever been here. Just think of it as an illusion caused by long-term lack of nutrition."

Tony glared at him and said, "Don't tell me that after I get out, I will wake up from my dream and find myself still locked in the small dark room. What kind of shitty missiles are I making for them?"

Du Mu didn't waste any more words. He just raised his hand and pushed Tony out of the martial arts gym.

Tony staggered back, and before he could stand still, he heard Ethan's surprised voice beside him: "Tony? Where did you go just now?"

Tony looked at the surrounding environment and found it was exactly the same as before. He finally confirmed that all this was real.

However, this made him feel even more confused.

This was the first time in Tony's life that he encountered a situation where his own knowledge system was difficult to understand and digest immediately.

Tony looked at the place where he had just disappeared and swallowed. Driven by strong curiosity, he stretched out his hand and wanted to reach in to test it out.

But it stopped halfway and could no longer move forward.

Du Mu reappeared and did not explain the situation to them. He directly condensed a colorful cloud of magic power and carried the two of them into the sky.

Fortunately, the portal did not cover every inch of the cave exit, but was only about the size of a door, so Tony did not disappear again when he flew out.

But the two of them still lay on the clouds with weak legs, looking at the valley that was getting smaller and smaller with dull expressions.

They no longer knew how to react.

----

Tony's disappearance has already prompted the U.S. military to conduct a carpet search of the entire surrounding area.

So when Tony called his American Army friend Colonel Rhodes in the nearest Afghan town, they arrived in less than an hour.

Du Mu did not get involved in their good friend reunion. The reason he came to save Tony was simply because he didn't want him to die because of the changes in the world line. As long as he was alive, it was enough.

As for the transaction, it was impossible for Du Mu to just take away the handmade Ark reactor from the other person's chest.

Of course, theoretically, Du Mu could also remove the broken shrapnel in his heart, but that would take at least one or two days to recover, and now was not a good time.

Let's wait until he returns to his base camp and feels safe.

That’s it... Du Mu watched Tony and Ethan walk into the military reconnaissance plane together from high in the sky, and then looked at the sea in the distance.

There is no guarantee that we will encounter a storm at sea this time, and it will take at least eight or nine hours of flight time to reach the United States.

In the end, Du Mu chose to lie invisible on top of the reconnaissance plane and take the flight back to New York.

When I came here, I was worried that just a few hours would cause Tony to have an accident due to the difference in the world. When I go back, I won't have to rush.

However, in order to make the plane fly faster, Du Mu also secretly set up an electromagnetic mana coil in front of the plane, using the power of the reconnaissance plane to accelerate the reconnaissance plane.

This puzzled Rod, who returned to the United States an hour earlier than planned. At the same time, the pilot also said that the aircraft's power consumption was far greater than before, and there was a high possibility that there was a malfunction.

Rhodes was so frightened that he became suspicious, thinking that the organization behind the kidnapping of Tony could actually take action on a US reconnaissance plane and planned to kill Tony Stark.

But fortunately, the country's protective measures were in place, and the tamperers were unable to do too many tricks in secret, so they were able to return to the United States safely.

However, afterwards, the entire base had to be checked thoroughly and the reconnaissance aircraft had to be returned to the factory to find out the specific cause.

When Du Mu left New York, it was night. It took two hours to reach Afghanistan, which is almost half the world, so it became daytime.

Although the US military's reconnaissance aircraft are not slow, they cannot fly in a straight line. Even though now is the period when the United States is at its peak, crossing another country's airspace without authorization will be a major event that will make international news.

So when they returned to the United States, it was daytime in New York.

Fortunately, Tony had slept on the plane. As soon as he got off the plane, he first asked the driver Happy Hogan to take him and his new friend Ethan to McDonald's, and asked his secretary Pepper to hold a press conference immediately.

Du Mu had no intention of reappearing, nor did he care whether Tony would shut down Stark Enterprises' weapons development department as he did in the original book.

All he needed was a miniature cold nuclear fusion reactor... To be honest, if Du Mu had a little more class, he could have just gone to Stark Industries and stolen the big one, but he just hadn't gotten to that point yet.

Therefore, Du Mu will not meet Tony until Tony makes the second one.

A person's character is difficult to change. Tony's repentance in the original book is closely related to Ethan's death.

For the sake of safety, Du Mu did not allow subsequent events to happen, so whether Tony would become the later Iron Man is indeed an unknown.

Just before Du Mu left, Tony suddenly said, "By the way, Pepper, help me get through to Peter." Pepper immediately said, "Peter Parker? I don't know where he went on vacation recently. It seems that only the CEO of their company knows where the young boss is."

"Young? Humph..." Tony clicked his tongue and had to face the fact that he was already 35 years old.

He had always been scornful of age, but Peter was a young talent indeed.

Have ideas, have energy, have scientific literacy, be humble, and have a sense of humor.

Also... don't have casual relationships, don't smoke, and don't drink.

A clean-cut college student and a self-made billionaire.

To be honest, Tony sometimes even felt that the other party was himself whose technical level was ten levels lower but made up for his personality defects.

After all, although their childhood wealth was very different, their life stories were so similar.

Peter was like a mirror that was too clean and bright, which the former Tony could not bear to look at directly. He always felt that it reflected too clearly the festering that he tried hard to hide in his own shadow.

So even though he admired the boy, he didn't keep in touch with him often because of a kind of jealousy that Tony denied existed.

But after experiencing this incident, Tony has finally let it go.

The two companies will continue to cooperate more in the future.

Not to mention the fact that the mysterious man saved him, even the shrapnel in his chest still required the assistance of the repair agent invented by Peter Pharmaceuticals for treatment.

When Pepper got through to Peter Pharmaceuticals CEO, he said a few words of greeting and explained that it was his boss who wanted to see him, then handed the phone to Tony.

"Hello, young lady," Tony greeted familiarly.

Pepper rolled her eyes covertly and looked out the window.

Tony was getting older, and so was she.

The way this CEO girl and her boss flirt with each other every day, anyone with an eye can see the affection they think they have concealed well. The strong atmosphere of pure youthful love sometimes makes Pepper speechless.

But when you look at your own boss and then look at other people's bosses, although you are better than the other in terms of ability, there is a huge difference in their personalities.

Pepper could only pray for the little blonde girl, hoping that the young and wealthy Peter would not be dazzled by the world and become a playboy like Tony.

"Hello, welcome back to the United States, Mr. Tony Stark. I heard from your secretary that you took the initiative to ask to speak to me. Is there anything I can help you with?" Gwen's formal and polite voice appeared on the phone.

Tony couldn't help but smile. They were indeed young people, too polite. They were even polite like customer service representatives instead of the powerful CEO.

But Tony didn't like to beat around the bush. He got to the point and asked, "I should thank you. I was rescued by an oriental man in ancient costumes. He didn't tell me his name, but said he was an employee of Peter Pharmaceuticals."

"I wanted to call Peter to thank him, but he doesn't seem to be answering his phone lately."

Gwen's eyes widened when she heard this.

But she knew when Du Mu left New York.

How long had it been? One night? Even if she had gotten her visa and flight tickets ready, and flew to Afghanistan and back right away, it wouldn't have taken that long.

However, thinking of the portal in Peter's bedroom, she guessed that perhaps Mr. Du Mu had the ability to travel through space.

After all, the martial arts school is connected to other universes. It seems that it is even easier to open a portal in a single world?

Thinking of this, Gwen's mood returned to normal, and she smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Parker is on vacation recently and doesn't want others to disturb him."

"And... that gentleman, his name is Du Mu. He is not an employee of Peter Pharmaceuticals, but Mr. Parker's martial arts master."

If someone else asked rashly, Gwen would never tell anyone the information about Du Mu.

But Tony was rescued by Du Mu from afar, and he also told the other party personally that if they wanted to ask for information about him, they should ask his family.

That means Mr. Du Mu doesn't care about his affairs being known by the boss of Stark Enterprises.

But Gwen was not so stupid as to tell everything at once. She simply said the other party's name and the relationship between him and Peter to prevent the other party from really treating Du Mu as a small employee.

Tony was also stunned when he heard Gwen's words.

A martial arts master?
I thought of those terrorists who died silently, the clouds that suddenly appeared under my feet, and the martial arts gym that was inexplicably teleported to me.

All of a sudden, Tony felt like he understood everything.

Wow, no wonder that brat Peter could become a billionaire at such a young age.

He definitely went through something similar to himself! He appeared in that martial arts gym that was clearly in the style of an oriental movie!
Then you became a disciple of the man named Du Mu, right?

He really knows how to climb up the pole.

Tony was familiar with cold weapons and plum blossom piles, so he was sure that it was a martial arts school.

When Tony thought that the reason why the other party had such great achievements at such a young age was that he had an adventure earlier than himself, he immediately relaxed and no longer felt inexplicably inferior because of Peter's excellence.

Oh, even if I don't inherit the family business, with my own talent and intelligence, if I come into contact with those supernatural powers at the age of 18, I can still research new technologies worth tens of billions.

That little guy's abilities are just average. Maybe he was chosen as a disciple just because of his nice personality?

Tony also guessed the reason why Peter became invisible.

It seems that the other party is currently at the martial arts hall... But why can't I get through to the call at the martial arts hall? Judging from the decoration style, it should be in some big oriental country. It has been developing very fast recently, so there is no way there is no signal.

No matter how smart Tony was, he couldn't have imagined that it was another universe.

However, Tony considered that Gwen might not know about the martial arts gym, so he didn't say anything more.

You can't reveal your savior's secrets just after being rescued.

He just smiled and expressed his gratitude, saying that the two companies could cooperate more in the future and that he wanted to pre-order the customized service of high-end VIP repair potion, and then hung up the phone.

Currently, Connors' main focus is on genetic adaptation for children in the martial arts school who have larger genetic deviation values. Therefore, the complete version of the repair potion discussed before has not yet been launched on the market, and even the news of pre-sale has just spread among senior management.

After listening to the conversation between the two, Du Mu nodded. With the help of the repair potion, even Tony now should be able to remove the shrapnel simply through surgery.

It seems that he doesn't need to be busy with this matter anymore. The next step is to wait for Tony to use the contemporary top equipment in his laboratory to rebuild a new Ark reactor.

Du Mu directly tore off the patch on the back of his hand and returned to the martial arts hall.

After returning to the martial arts hall, Du Mu was suddenly stunned.

He looked towards the southwest, and felt a huge energy coming through the prismatic stones he had given to Peter and Banner, transmitting towards him in sections of ten kilometers each.

This energy is hundreds, thousands of times more powerful than that emitted by Logan... Of course, Du Mu can also feel that these energies are scattered and flickering, and few of them can bring Du Mu a perceptible increase in mental strength.

Peter and Banner must have saved the people who were sacrificed, right? Now are they... preaching to me?
However, due to oral problems, it is too different from my real image, so it has limited effect on me.

Du Mu touched the energy that he had named "faith" and tried to transfer a little bit of true energy to it.

Then... the true energy was transmitted rapidly along the qi mechanism.

But the distance is really too far, so it will take quite some time to transmit it.

Du Mu simply transferred a little bit of his true Qi to all the Qi that floated towards him. After all, true Qi was a thing that could only do good and no harm, as long as he had no ill intentions and the amount was not too large. It could slightly nourish the body and relieve pain.

Afterwards, Du Mu let the true energy flow in the qi machine, picked up Logan's blood patch, and went to the world of mutants.

As agreed before, classes would continue the next day, and Du Mu did not forget it.
