Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

Why?

Upon hearing Lin Yi refuse to join the team, Tony's confident smile froze on his face, and even his voice changed.

This was something Tony hadn't expected. Even before Lin Yi arrived, Tony had Jarvis conduct a predictive analysis, which showed that there was a 78% chance that Lin Yi would agree to form a team.

If he were Lin Yi, he wouldn't find a reason to refuse to join a team.

In the previous seventeen time loops, his multiverse counterpart was good friends with Lin Yi, and both of them were connected to another Morgan.

In fact, to show his sincerity, Tony made no attempt to hide the information he knew.

But in the end, I still didn't expect Lin Yi to refuse so decisively.

Lin Yi, on the other hand, had many ideas.

The reason he refused to team up was primarily because he couldn't fully trust Tony Stark on this side.

Even if we trust Tony Stark, how can we trust the other members of his team?

Moreover, based on the information currently available, he is a variable. Even without Tony Stark, and even if Lin Yi were unaware of this information, it wouldn't significantly alter his plans.

Whether the information Tony provided is helpful remains to be seen.

Besides, Tony's presence might make him feel constrained in certain situations.

For example, how are loot distributed, such as high-level crystal fragments? Are they distributed based on contribution points? How are contribution points calculated?

Lin Yi dislikes waiting for others to make arrangements; he prefers to be in control himself. He is becoming increasingly impatient with passivity and waiting.

Lin Yi is determined to get that orange gem, regardless of whether it's the orange gem he's looking for.

Tony found the orange gem during the first loop and then hid it. Logically, since he found the gem first, it should belong to him after he finds it again.

But what if Lin Yi finds it first? Lin Yi certainly won't give it to Tony Stark here.

Although Lin Yi could easily take the gems and loot by force, it wouldn't be a very pleasant thing to do, and it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among Tony and his teammates.

Rather than that, he preferred to refuse from the start; he didn't want to deal with these potential, annoying conflicts.

These are just the drawbacks Lin Yi could think of in a moment. His intuition told him that the troubles of forming a team would only be more numerous.

Lin Yi was too lazy to explain the reasons directly, and casually replied, "We already have a team, and our team hasn't gelled yet, so let's forget about forming a team and just cooperate."

Tony shook his head in disappointment, sensing the perfunctory tone in his voice, and did not try to invite him again.

He felt that Jarvis's three-dimensional model of Lin Yi's personality was flawed, otherwise it wouldn't have reached 78%.

To be on the safe side, he felt that cooperation was another very good option.

Immediately, cheer up.

"Okay, then, let's not team up, let's cooperate instead."

Tony reached out his hand.

Lin Yi glanced at it, then grasped it.

The two then sat back down on the sofa.

"Jarvis will compile a list of specific cooperation details." Tony crossed his legs, his posture becoming more casual after confirming the cooperation.

"Overall, within this spatial ruin, the two teams help each other, exchange information in real time. If you're in trouble, I'll help you; if I'm in trouble, you can't run away. And don't try anything behind each other's backs, okay?"

"Okay." Lin Yi nodded. He could accept this way of cooperating, and each of them would have their own space and be free from constraints.

"However, I can't guarantee I'll intervene every time. If it's beyond my capabilities, I'll prioritize protecting my own people."

Tony's lips twitched slightly: "You're really blunt. I'm starting to wonder how my other self became friends with you."

"Likewise," Lin Yi said, shrugging.

The two tacitly refrained from proposing any measures to ensure the success of their collaboration.

Such verbal agreements have almost no binding force at their level. They are based solely on a thin foundation of trust.

This provides ample room for maneuver, which is exactly what Tony and Lin Yi both want.

After agreeing to cooperate, Lin Yi asked another question: "By the way, a while ago, there was a guy in the Krypton Clan who tried to impersonate me and join the clan. Do you know anything about him?"

Tony paused for a moment, then instinctively looked at Eli.

Eli sat on the sofa, his gaze calm: "He definitely knows."

"Tony Stark's communication technology and information acquisition channels are the most complex and advanced in the dimensional space, second only to the managers."

Tony clicked his tongue and smacked his lips in slight embarrassment.

The Krypton Clan didn't make this public, but powerful individuals with access to information naturally learned about it through various channels, and it had even spread to a certain extent. Most of those people were just watching for fun.

Tony watched it too, and even complained about it to Jarvis. So now it seems a bit awkward.

"Okay, I do know about this. Why are you suddenly asking?"

Tony asked a question in return, then his expression changed.

"Jarvis!"

I'm here, sir.

"During the first seventeen cycles, did any life forms impersonating Lin Yi appear?"

Jarvis replied quickly: "No, sir. The appearance of Mr. Lin Yi in the dimensional gap world, and the emergence of life forms impersonating him, only occurred within this single cycle."

"Have you tracked down any trace of the imposter?"

【No, sir. The other party's traces in the dimensional gap world have been completely erased, or rather, due to the impersonation, some traces overlap with Mr. Lin Yi's. We are unable to trace the limited information we have. We apologize.】

After listening, Tony exchanged a glance with Lin Yi, then shook his head.

Lin Yi was not surprised at all.

According to Eli, the extent to which Tony Stark's information can be obtained is completely untraceable, so it can probably be confirmed.

In this dimensional gap world, there are definitely informants or forces belonging to those guys.

They may even have been disguised as some kind of organization.

"Forget about him for now, let's be careful," Tony said casually after instructing Jarvis to continue tracking him.

But deep down, I marked this matter as urgent and important.

This is also a variable, and it's related to Lin Yi. He should use deeper levels of power to search for traces of that fake life form.

"By the way, the banquet tonight will proceed as scheduled," Tony casually reminded him, his tone becoming lighter.

"I didn't invite many people, just a few from my team this time. I originally thought you... and Miss Eli would be able to join, it's a bit of a pity."

Tony shrugged, looking regretful but helpless.
