Wanjie Hotel: Iron Man is not allowed to charge

Chapter 126 My Superpower: Being Rich (7K views, please vote with double monthly tickets)
Tony turned his head and saw Perkins and Rebecca, who were wearing bikinis, behind Wen Ming, and his eyes lit up.

Seeing the charming Belinda nestled beside Wen Ming, he became even more jealous.

"So, you're only just getting back from the sea?"

"Yes, I wasn't planning on coming back tonight, but something unexpected happened."

Wen Ming patted Belinda beside him, and Belinda gave a smile that looked more like a grimace.

That's what she thought too.

Unfortunately, the romantic night was ruined.

My future life has also been ruined.

Even their own lives could be lost at any moment.

Tony raised an eyebrow and scoffed, "Did you receive the message I had Aquaman send you?"

"Ah, you know, there's no signal at sea. I just got it."

Wen Ming then remembered the dumplings and looked at Bruce beside him: "Bruce, are you hungry?"

Bruce nodded. "A little."

"That's perfect, I'm hungry too, let's eat and chat."

Wen Ming strode toward the restaurant, and before leaving, he suddenly said, "Qinghou, go check on T1000!"

Marcus, interrogate Belinda for me.

Where are Sarah and Helen? Charon, please call them down for a midnight snack.

Perkins, Rebecca, what would you like to eat?
Tonight I'm going to treat you both to a nice meal.

Wen Ming's voice was light and cheerful, but when he entered the kitchen, he leaned heavily against the wall.

Sure enough, people love my cooking, not because it tastes good.

So, is it because of the hotel's buff that Sarah, Malena, Natasha, Ada Wong, Bulma, Flora, and others have feelings for me?

Wen Ming had strong suspicions about this.

Just how many buffs does this hotel have?

Uncle, why didn't you leave me a hotel user manual?

This kind of trial-and-error approach is really exhausting!

……

In fact, Wen Ming had been wary of Belinda and the others for a long time. He knew that people in the United States valued money above all else, so he was wary of anyone who approached him.

However, when he realized that these people were only approaching him to obtain his sperm and have children, and that everyone's praise of his cooking was merely due to the hotel's influence, a sense of loss still welled up inside him, leaving him feeling somewhat empty.

So, what is really real anymore?

Is Wang Xi the same as Belinda?
Is Flora the same?

Are there really no people like Aunt Susie and Mana who can be trusted?

For the first time, Wen Ming felt somewhat lost in life.

Are people from movies and TV shows the only ones we can trust?
No, they can't be trusted either!

Lost in confusion, Wen Ming suddenly shook his head.

They are all just eyeing the platform services and product intermediaries that I can provide. If I can't do that, I'm afraid everyone will leave me.

The reason why Perkins, Rebecca, Marcus, Charon and others are so loyal is simply because they cannot leave the Flatiron Hotel and their 100-meter radius.

The old man died, and all the hotel staff disappeared. Doesn't that prove everything?

No wonder they all say that the Third Uncle is gloomy.

I'm afraid that Uncle San must have experienced all sorts of betrayals and hurts more than once, right?
Wen Ming suddenly understood why the Third Uncle's personality was so eccentric.

After these events, Wen Ming's last shred of illusion about everyone and everything around him was shattered, and a deep sense of distrust was rising and consuming his heart.

What should I do?
"Isn't it dumplings?"

Just as Wen Ming was cooking and lost in thought, Tony suddenly sat down in front of the kitchen and looked at Wen Ming who was busy at work.

Wen Ming shook his head and said, "There's too little time. By the time it's done, it will be midnight. Let's make a bowl of noodles instead."

Tony was somewhat dissatisfied, but seeing Wen Ming skillfully start making hand-pulled noodles, the pleasing process made him immerse himself in it.

As he looked at it, he couldn't help but say, "I want to borrow the T1000. My time machine is finished."

Wen Ming paused, then looked up at Tony, who had a determined look in his eyes: "I originally came tonight to borrow John from you so that John and Natasha could accompany me back in time to save my parents, but it's clear that the T1000 is more suitable, and Helen certainly doesn't want John to take any more risks."

Helen and Sarah, who had just sat down, stared at Tony in astonishment, never expecting him to become so considerate.

You're a really nice person.

Upon hearing this, Batman also looked up sharply: "I'd like to borrow it too."

"Move to the back of the line!"

Tony glared at Bruce, but Bruce ignored him and instead looked at Wen Ming: "How much? I'll pay double, I just want to be ahead of him in line."

Tony laughed angrily: "Trying to out-rich me?"

"My superpower is being rich."

Wen Ming ignored their words and continued making noodles, and everyone noticed that Wen Ming seemed to be in a bad mood.

Considering the several attacks he suffered today, everyone was somewhat worried.

Wenming made a simple dinner: vegetable and egg noodles.

He ladled out bowl after bowl of noodles, poured broth over them, and handed them to Tony, Bruce, and the others. Immediately, the restaurant was filled with the sounds of people slurping noodles.

Wen Ming picked up a bowl himself and ate it while standing behind the open kitchen.

This bowl of noodles is exactly the same as the first meal he made when he opened his shop.

Wen Mingzai carefully examined the bowl of noodles and, after confirming that it tasted exactly the same as the ones he made back home, his mood gradually calmed down.

He couldn't help but chuckle as he recalled his past doubts and how his heart had almost swayed by the repeated praise from the time travelers and tenants.

I never believed it from beginning to end, so why am I being so dramatic now?
Perhaps you love to eat it because of the buff.

But I cook not to please you, but because I enjoy cooking for myself!
Wenming picked up an egg from the bowl and put it in his mouth. The crispy, caramelized egg white was the way his mother used to make fried eggs, and it was also his favorite way to make them.

Who cares why they like it?

Only I am real.

"First of all, you helped catch the T1000, so lending it to you is definitely no problem. But you need to ask Sarah, not me."

After finishing his noodles, Wen Ming looked at Tony and Bruce.

The two immediately looked at Sarah. Sarah felt Wen Ming's protection and her heart was filled with sweetness. Naturally, she wouldn't let Wen Ming lose face: "If Wen Ming agrees, I will definitely agree too."

Tony and Bruce immediately smiled gratefully.

Tony said casually, "I'll give you a satisfactory price, in gold."

Bruce nodded and said, "My price is the same."

Sarah was overjoyed. Would she no longer have to work so hard reselling drugs and electronics? Could she finally be a happy chef at the Iron Hotel?
"Secondly, and most importantly."

After Sarah nodded, Wen Ming looked at the two of them again: "You want to interfere with the timeline and resurrect people who are destined to die. I feel that it will most likely trigger the opposition of the world's will and may attract the Time Mutation Administration."

Or perhaps the will of the world demands that you take your parents, who are destined to die but have not yet died, out of your universe. Can you accept that your parents will spend the rest of their lives in my hotel?

They may never be able to leave the hotel or stay within 100 meters of me for their entire lives.

Tony and Bruce were both stunned for a moment, then Tony immediately said, "No problem, as long as they can be saved."

Bruce nodded emphatically: "I will make up for my cowardice!"

Seeing that neither of them hesitated at all, Wen Ming knew that their parents' death was a pain that would never go away, so he said nothing more and looked at T1000, who was sitting obediently to the side: "Do you want me to give you a new name?"

T1000 shook its head and said, "This codename is fine. I am not the Queen of the Azure Sea, I am just an AI, so it doesn't matter what I'm called."

"Then I'd like to ask you to bring Tony's parents and Bruce's parents back safely."

Wen Ming did not show any disrespect to T1000 just because it was a copy of Haihou. T1000 stood up and said, "Please rest assured, boss, I will do my best."

"Mr. Stark, let's go!"

Seeing T1000 stand up, Tony's hands trembled with excitement, but he forced himself to remain calm and wave goodbye to everyone.

Wen Ming stopped Tony from leaving: "After you're done using the time machine, have T1000 destroy it. Keeping it with you will only attract the Time Mutation Management Bureau."

If you can avoid using it in the future, please do so. I don't want your world to enter a multiverse so soon.

You wouldn't want to face simultaneous attacks from countless Iron Mans and the Time Mutation Bureau from all universes, would you?

Tony nodded emphatically.

He could feel Wen Ming's concern for him.

Okay, I'll forgive you for not making dumplings for me tonight.

Also, you didn't take me to the sailing swimsuit party.

……

Seeing Tony leave with the T1000, Bruce looked at Wen Ming anxiously, but Wen Ming handed him a glass of warm water: "Don't get excited, drink some warm water."

We'll know the results in half an hour at most.

Why don't you let Tony try to see if he can succeed? Aren't you always reliable and dependable?

Upon hearing this, even the usually cautious Mr. Bat calmed down.

He picked up the glass of warm water in front of him and took a sip: "Thank you! Wenming, I've found that since I met you, I'm less prone to impulsiveness."

"It's my honor to be able to help you, isn't that a good thing?"

Did you just want to buy technology from the Metaverse Shop?

Wen Ming put all the bowls in the sink, quickly cleaned them, wiped his hands, and walked up to Bruce: "Why don't we go to my office while we wait, and talk to Sarah about the price?"

"it is good!"

When Bruce saw Wen Ming remind him again to talk to Sarah, his respect and approval of Wen Ming's character grew even stronger.

If it were anyone else, they would have already taken over Sarah's skills completely, but Wen Ming never did such a thing.

Thinking of this, he looked at Wen Ming with a hint of respect, "He is the role model I should learn from."

Just as Wen Ming was about to chat with Bruce and Sarah about the technology transfer fee, Tony, who had just walked out of the hotel, suddenly looked at the T1000 next to him.

"T1000, do you think we should take this opportunity to kill the Winter Soldier?"

T1000 turned to Tony and asked, "Mr. Stark, do you want me to kill the Winter Soldier?"

Are you sure you want me to execute this command?
If it's confirmed, I will carry out this employment assignment.

Tony was stumped by the question.

Regret!
We shouldn't have upgraded Haihou's intelligence in the first place.

No, this is not my problem.

It's all Bulma's fault.

Why did you add random things to the AI ​​I created?

How am I supposed to answer that now?

This AI is way too damn smart!

……

"The Terminator universe, all T-series robot technologies, including the liquid metal technology of the T1000, cost $3000 million plus a 5% sales commission, and sell for $4000 million plus a 10% sales commission. Are you two satisfied with this price?"

Wenming looked at Sarah and Bruce.

Sarah naturally had no objections, because she considered the money to be free.

Moreover, Wen Ming secured an extra sales commission for her, which felt like a dream come true.

Keep in mind that this won't just be the income from one world in the future; Tony's world will also have this price, and perhaps Lara's and Bulma's worlds will be the same.

Bruce didn't even blink: "No problem."

"Time machine technology, costing $2000 million, selling for $3000 million, but it can't be sold to anyone else, and after one use it must be destroyed by the T1000, is that okay?"

Time machines are too overpowered. If misused, they could cause strong interference from the world's will and an attack from the Time Mutation Administration.

Wenming wasn't sure if Tony would keep the time machine data, but he trusted Bruce's character.

Although the master often holds back a trick.

"no problem!"

If it could save his parents, Bruce wouldn't even blink at $3000 million, let alone $1 million.

However, Wen Ming did not sell it directly, but looked at Bruce: "Actually, you can rent Tony's. Tony's is only used once and then it's no longer needed. Besides, he made two of them."

One was sent back to T1000, and the other was to be taken by T1000 in a capsule. His original plan was to use it himself to save his parents and return to the future.

"No, I don't use secondhand items."

Bruce was incredibly generous: "Besides, I only trust the time machine I built myself." Wen Ming was speechless.

You're rich, so what!

"Do you want magnetic levitation technology? Bulma has already prepared the technology."

Since you have money, don't blame me for sharpening my knife quickly.

"Of course!"

Bruce laughed and said, "I can use this technology to give Wayne Enterprises another new business!"

"Nice! The price is $3000 million plus a 10% sales commission."

Wen Ming doesn't sell this type of technology at a high price; he wants a steady, long-term business.

He wasn't sure if Bruce's Wayne Enterprises and Tony's Stark Industries would manipulate their accounts, but that's how business is—risk and reward go hand in hand.

Moreover, these technologies can be sold across more than one universe.

There are plenty of people who want to buy them.

"make a deal!"

Bruce didn't care about the prices at all; he was more concerned about something else: "the technology behind the Capsule of Miracles..."

This technology would allow Batman to develop many new tactics, which he greatly admires.

“I’m sorry, Bulma’s father is not willing to sell this technology. He is only willing to sell you finished products and accept product customization.”

Wenming understood Bulma's father's decision.

In the Terminator universe, Skynet, the sixth brother, recklessly distributes robot manufacturing technology because it has a backdoor, hoping to use it to its advantage and expand its reach everywhere.

Magnetic levitation technology didn't belong to Bulma's father, nor was it any particularly rare technology, so Bulma's father simply used it to earn dowry for Bulma.

However, the capsule technology involves his core interests, and he does not agree to sell it even in other universes.

"Okay, then please order according to this list for me."

Clearly, Batman had anticipated this outcome and had prepared a list.

Wen Ming didn't look at the list, but instead handed Mr. Bat a set of books.

"what is this?"

"This is the wisdom of a great man from the East. Many netizens have suggested that you take a look at the system of the Great Qian Kingdom, which could help you further reduce the crime rate."

It's important to know that the Great Qian Kingdom ranks among the top three in the world in terms of security.

Bruce immediately became interested. He took the book from Wen Ming and was about to read it carefully when a sound came from outside the office. Everyone looked out and saw Tony and Pepper walking in with two middle-aged men and women!

"Success?"

"Success!"

Tony rushed in excitedly and picked Wen Ming up in a hug: "Thank you! My good brother!"

At this moment, even Tony, who is usually outgoing but reserved, couldn't help but smile happily.

Wen Ming was genuinely happy for Tony: "That's great! Tony, you did it!"

Bruce, you can do it too!

Even the usually composed Bruce stood up excitedly.

If Tony can succeed, I can definitely succeed too!

Moreover, I can only do better than him!
"Mr. Wen, hello! Thank you for saving us!"

The two people who walked over were Tony's parents, Howard Stark and Maria Stark.

The second founder of S.H.I.E.L.D.

A brilliant scientist, a brilliant agent.

"Hello, I didn't expect Tony to actually succeed."

Wen Ming happily shook hands and hugged Howard and Maria, then looked at Tony beside him and asked, "Were they forcibly driven away by the will of the world?"

"Yes, the T-1000 drove off the Winter Soldier, saved them, and then at the moment it took them to the future, they were ostracized."

Tony's face was full of joy. Everything was just as Wen Ming had predicted. Moreover, if Wen Ming hadn't reminded him, he would never have been able to see his parents again.

Even if they can only stay at the Yuan Universe Hotel in the future, he would be happy: "The presidential suite must be arranged for my parents, with lifetime renewal."

"no problem!"

Wen Ming looked at Howard and Maria: "I wonder if you two would be interested in joining my Iron Hotel's research department? It would help pass the time."

Or are you planning to retire and spend your retirement at the Metaverse Hotel?

"We're still in our prime, why should we retire?"

Howard and Maria exchanged a glance, both feeling the joy of surviving a close call.

Tony has already given them a general explanation of this amazing hotel.

Howard is a scientist and is very accepting of this kind of thing.

Maria is an agent, though not as famous as Carter, and one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D. In addition, she is a pianist and dancer.

All her thoughts were focused on the two men she loved most, so for her, as long as she could see Howard and Tony, she didn't care where they were or what they were doing.

The only thing that amazed the two of them was that Tony was able to use the time machine to bring them back to life.

Doesn't this come at a price?

Just as the hotel restaurant was filled with the joy of rebirth and reunion, everyone's phones suddenly blared with a piercing alarm: "Red alert! Hellhounds are about to attack! Boss and everyone, please prepare for battle!"

The smiles on everyone's faces froze instantly. Wen Ming reacted quickly, throwing out a multi-purpose capsule with a bang. A weapon box taller than a person immediately appeared in front of everyone.

"quick!"

Wen Ming reached out and took out a fully loaded Winchester ammunition, then slung a bullet belt over his shoulder.

Marcus and his men quickly retrieved their weapon cases and equipped Winchester.

Since the last attack, Wen Ming has given those black vicious dogs a special code name: Hellhounds.

Hellhounds are not something that can be dealt with by ordinary weapons; small pistols can only make them slightly stiff, so everyone unanimously took out Winchester rifles.

These Winchester bullets are specially made salt bullets; Wenming wants to test whether salt bullets are effective against them.

At the same time, Tony also threw out his own capsule toy.

When his weapon case was opened, revealing its contents, Wen Ming exclaimed in surprise.

"Iron armor? You've already finished it?"

"Not bad!"

Tony stepped forward, opened his arms, and made a graceful turn.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's witness the debut of my Iron Man armor in the metaverse!"

The Iron Man suit quickly enveloped Tony's body the moment he approached, and the triangular reactor emitted a white light.

However, apart from Howard and Maria who had no interest in looking at the red and gold Iron Man suit, everyone else at the scene had already rushed out of Wen Ming's office.

Tony felt like he'd only shown up for nothing.

Before leaving, Bruce glanced at the Iron Man suit and clicked his tongue, "It's too ugly."

Tony was furious and was about to rush out the window to the balcony to confront Bruce when Pepper reminded him, "Take the stairs, don't let ordinary people see you!"

Tony paused as he rushed toward the window, then turned and stomped toward the stairs.

"This lousy hotel is such a hassle!"

"Wen Ming, can I buy the hotel and not entertain other guests in the future?"

"I want to fly freely in the metaverse!"

……

When Wen Ming rushed to the rooftop terrace, the familiar dark gray vortex had already appeared. The intense sense of oppression made him feel like he couldn't look directly at it again.

He had just rushed onto the terrace when a hellhound pounced out from it.

"boom!"

Without saying a word, Wen Ming blasted them apart with a single shot.

Taking advantage of the moment when the enemy dissipated, Wen Ming quickly loaded Winchester with bullets.

The Hellhound can only be broken by the Winchester sword in his hand, so Wen Ming is prepared for a long battle.

By the time Marcus and his men appeared behind Wen Ming, Wen Ming had already fired a second shot.

With a howl, the hellhound vanished into smoke.

As Tony slammed his foot onto the rooftop, Wen Ming had already fired his third shot.

After the three shots, the hellhound completely dissipated, and a green crystal fell to the ground with a "ding".

"it's over?"

Tony stomped over to Wen Ming's side, looked up at the dark gray vortex, and sure enough, just as he had said, the dark gray vortex disappeared.

"What's going on? I haven't even fired a single shot yet!"

Tony raised his steel arm, ready to fire into the air.

What do you mean?
I finally made it up here, and then you're gone?
You just sent Wen Mingxiu a hellhound to demonstrate his marksmanship?

This is my Iron Man armor's debut in the metaverse!
Wen Ming was also annoyed that the vortex only sent one hellhound this time. He should have saved the last shot for the salt bomb.

After confirming that the vortex had dissipated, Wen Ming picked up the green crystal from the ground, but the green crystal immediately turned into a green light and disappeared into the white tiger statue. Wen Ming didn't care and turned around to pat Tony on the shoulder: "You owe me one more time."

"What do you mean?"

Tony didn't react for a moment, while Batman mocked, "Don't you understand? This hellhound is after your parents."

If I'm not mistaken, the Cerberus came by smelling the spacetime power on your parents, after all, they just traveled from the past to the future several decades ago, and then from your universe to the metaverse.

I seriously doubt whether you, with your IQ, could even have built such armor without watching movies.

"what?"

Tony was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant, and then flew into a rage: "After your parents are saved, you'll owe Wen Ming a debt too."

"No, I will destroy the hellhound myself! Anyone who dares to stand in my way of resurrecting my parents will be killed!"

At this moment, Bruce was filled with a powerful fighting spirit.

He believed that he could kill the eerie hellhound with his own strength.

Isn't it just some mysterious power?

I can definitely buy it in my world.

Tony was thoroughly outmaneuvered by Bruce, his face flushed red, feeling slighted. He scoffed, "I haven't seen anything special about your Batsuit. You're always getting into hand-to-hand combat, you brute."

"You'll see my latest Batsuit!"

Bruce strode after Wen Ming toward the stairs: "Can I take the T1000 data with me first? I'll bring the gold to you next time I come."

"Of course, I allow credit here."

Wen Ming put his arm around Bruce's shoulder: "Bruce, your character is definitely much better than that guy who left a backdoor in the AI."

Tony flew into a rage again: "Who are you talking about?"

"Shit-da-ke, I'm talking about Shit-da-ke!"

"I want to duel with you!"

"I admit, I can't beat you."

Seeing Wen Ming decisively admit defeat and leave with an indifferent expression, Tony was so angry he wanted to fire a few shots into the sky. He angrily stepped out of his Iron Man suit: "Pepper, let's go back!"

"No, I don't want to go through all that trouble tonight. I'm staying here tonight, and I'm going to work here tomorrow morning."

Pepper's reply only made Tony more agitated: "I'll answer myself!"

Just then, Maria suddenly walked up to him: "Tony, don't you want to talk to us? I want to know how you've been all these years."

Tony, who was in a berserk state, suddenly calmed down, and his eyes became a little moist.

I've been working tirelessly day and night for this very moment, haven't I?

Everyone present immediately left, leaving this beautiful moment to the mother and son.

Yeah, and Howard too.

This father doesn't know how to express his care.
