Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

A classic Tony Stark, but ridiculously young. If I had to compare, he's pretty much the same as the one in Iron Man 2.

Eli walked behind Lin Yi, her hands always in her pockets.

Lin Yi and Tony both noticed this, but neither of them said anything.

The three sat down on the sofa. Tony sat on a single sofa, while Lin Yi and Eli sat on a double sofa opposite him.

"Jarvis, activate the dishwasher emergency plan, create a comparative model, analyze the following conversation, and I need detailed information."

After sitting down, Tony immediately gave instructions to Jarvis.

His original plan was to chat with Lin Yi about various topics during the banquet, and subtly ask him if he had any connections with his counterparts in other universes.

After all, Morgan Stark said that she and Lin Yi had a good relationship, so it's reasonable to assume that Lin Yi and she were friends.

This way, I can get closer to Lin Yi, and things will be easier to discuss.

But after this incident, Tony had completely lost interest in that and went straight to the point.

Jarvis's voice rang out in the room: [Dishwasher contingency plan activated. Removing all personnel below clearance level 2 from the Stark Industries building. Expected completion within ten minutes.]

[Importing analysis model, generating comparison model, expected to go live in 30 seconds...]

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow and looked at Tony with a scrutinizing gaze.

Eli's expression remained unchanged, and her hands were still in her pockets, making her posture look somewhat odd.

Tony looked at Lin Yi, observing his reaction: "You don't mind, do you?"

What don't you mind? Of course, you mind analyzing the following conversation.

The dishwasher safety plan sounds like it's just washing dishes, but it's actually a top-level safety protocol.

Once activated, all non-core personnel in the building will be quickly and temporarily evacuated through special channels.

At the same time, all communication channels in Stark Tower will be encrypted, and external signals will be blocked simultaneously.

But actually, Tony's room was already under the highest level of security protocols at all times. Activating the dishwasher's emergency stop was completely unnecessary.

This was unnecessary, and the fact that he asked Jarvis to generate a model and analyze the following dialogue in front of Lin Yi makes it easy to understand.

He didn't have time to get close to Lin Yi. He wanted to use this relatively unreasonable request, which was "for the first time meeting" someone, to test Lin Yi's attitude towards him in a small and controlled way, or rather, his attitude towards his counterparts in other universes, and his tolerance for parallel characters.

He believed that Lin Yi would be able to sense his probing.

Lin Yi immediately understood what Tony meant.

Seeing Tony's cautiousness, Lin Yi's tone became more casual.

In front of Tony, he took out a glass, picked up the half-empty bottle of wine on the table, poured half a glass, and took a sip.

"Tsk..."

With a flick of his wrist, the cup vanished into thin air. Lin Yi leaned back on the sofa, relaxed, and crossed his legs over the table.

"It doesn't taste good at all, Tony."

"No matter which universe you're from, why do you always like drinking this kind of stuff?"

As Lin Yi spoke, he put his hands behind his head, stretched comfortably, and then looked at Tony.

"Wait a minute, I remember you stopped touching this stuff after Morgan was born, didn't you?"

"What's wrong? You still can't live without this thing? Are you having more worries now?"

Lin Yi's casual actions and words were a way of telling Tony that he should just say what he wanted to say, since he knew Tony well in the parallel universe and could tolerate his behavior to a great extent.

The room fell silent. Eli's icy expression shifted slightly; she glanced at Lin Yi with surprise before reverting to her usual cold demeanor. It seemed she hadn't expected Lin Yi to have this carefree, irresponsible side.

Tony sat on the sofa, motionless.

After a few seconds of silence, he smiled.

He had never met Lin Yi before, nor had he encountered anyone similar to Lin Yi in the three-dimensional universe.

But for some reason, Lin Yi's tone of voice and actions made him feel a natural sense of familiarity and relaxation.

A strange feeling rose in Tony's heart, as if the young man in front of him was a good friend he hadn't seen for many years.

Suddenly, Tony relaxed, and even the tension he had been trying to hide on his face disappeared, replaced by a relaxed look with a hint of fatigue and worry.

He imitated Lin Yi, leaning back and adopting a lazy and casual posture.

Tony picked up a wine glass from the small table next to his sofa, took a sip, and poured Eli a glass without any formalities.

Because Eli doesn't drink, at that party, some idiot tried to get Eli to do him a favor and clink glasses, but Eli beat him so badly he turned into a shooting star.

"You know that too?" Tony said, relaxing as he put down his glass. "That makes things much easier."

Tony breathed a sigh of relief. "Morgan, how's Morgan doing in your universe?"

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, thinking he was about to say something, but unexpectedly he suddenly brought up Morgan again.

Lin Yi's eyelids twitched, as if he had thought of something. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "How are you doing... it's hard to say."

Lin Yi touched his chin, and the images of two little Morgans appeared in his mind.

"In my universe, there are two Morgans. One of them comes from a parallel universe that has been corrupted by a cosmic virus."

"Her life before must have been unpleasant, because Morgan was no longer in that universe."

Lin Yi noticed that Tony's eyes flickered, a fleeting look of reminiscence and sadness.

"A cosmic virus..." Tony interjected, glancing out the window as if recalling something.

"I experienced a universe where a cosmic virus outbreak occurred; it was... terrifying, despairing."

"And then what? Did you bring Morgan into your universe? Is Pepper still in your universe?"

Lin Yi nodded.

"They're still here. I took over. There's a slight age difference between the two Morgans, but they're both living with Pepper now."

Tony smiled upon hearing this: "Then should I thank you on behalf of Morgan?"

"Okay, enough talk, give me some technical equipment or something. You know I really like the Mark suit. Do you have the latest model? Can I get one?"

"Oh right, you might not know about this place, but you know everyone I know."

Lin Yi seemed to have no concept of politeness and unabashedly reached out to Tony for something.

Tony looked at Lin Yi strangely.

If it were someone else so blatantly asking him for the Mark suit, especially the latest model, he would have already started cursing.

But when Tony met Lin Yi for the first time, he felt no displeasure. Instead, he felt a sense of helplessness and despair.
