Reborn in Marvel, I am Iron Man's son?

"Great! The Blackfire Gang, that cancer, has finally been wiped out!"

"I never imagined the Blackfire Gang could be so ruthless! I heard they've abducted many single women who come to New York for tourism."

"..."

Many residents in the nearby neighborhood cheered after seeing the news.

Caleb and the rest of the crew were equally happy, finally free from the threat of gangsters.

This made the subsequent filming of the movie go very smoothly.

Filming was completed in just one week.

Kellerb hosted a celebratory party at the Hilton Hotel, inviting the entire cast and crew.

But just as the party was halfway through, two police officers arrived at the scene.

“Rachel Scott, you are suspected of providing intelligence to gangsters. Please come with us to the police station now to cooperate with the investigation.”

After they found Rachel, they showed her an arrest warrant.

"Do not……"

Rachel, whose face was already flushed from drinking, turned pale upon seeing the arrest warrant and collapsed to the ground in fright.

She received $1000 from gangsters for betraying Rosalie's information.

Rachel was initially quite pleased with herself for this, feeling that she had not only gotten revenge on Rosalie but also made money, a win-win situation.

Now that the gang member has been arrested, he has confessed to her crimes, and she will naturally have to pay the price for her actions.

"That damned bitch, she actually provided intelligence to those gangsters!"

"She's so stupid and wicked, she deserves what she got!"

"Once this gets out, she can forget about working in the entertainment industry anymore. Which production team would dare to work with her again!"

"..."

After Rachel was taken away by the police, the crew immediately started hurling insults at her.

The crime of selling intelligence may not be too serious; Rachel might only need to stay in jail for a few months before being released.

But without a doubt, her acting career has come to a complete end.

"Pah, serves him right!"

Rosalie couldn't help but spit at Rachel's figure, feeling a sense of satisfaction at Rachel's fate.

The next morning, the entire crew left by plane.

Mark once again chose a window seat, enjoying the thrill of rapidly gaining sunlight.

[Sunlight value +1 +1 +1 +1...]

By the time the plane arrived in Los Angeles, Mark had accumulated 4984 points of sunlight along the way.

Sunlight index: 16839

After two round-trip flights and the daylight points collected in New York, Mark's total daylight points have now reached 16839.

[Super Brain: LV8 (0/25600)]

"Just over 8000 more points of sunlight are needed to upgrade the Super Brain to level 9!"

Looking at his current information, Mark was filled with anticipation.

Chapter Thirty-One: Buying a House

Back at their home in the Clem neighborhood, both Rosalie and Mark breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a deep sense of security.

"Ms. Payne, your house is not safe and is at risk of being broken into!"

After Fei led her team to inspect the entire yard, she spoke up to offer a reminder.

"Huh? This neighborhood is very safe. No one has ever broken into it before!"

Rosalie looked puzzled.

"Just because it didn't exist before doesn't mean it won't exist in the future! All risks must be eliminated; it's our responsibility."

Faith said with a serious expression.

"Okay, so what should we do?"

Since the other party is a professional security guard, Rosalie will naturally choose to listen to their advice.

"First, the fence around the yard should be replaced with a solid concrete high wall, and surveillance cameras, one-way tilt anti-climb spikes, and electronic pulse fences should be installed on the wall..."

"Stop! Stop!"

Before Faith could finish speaking, Rosalie interrupted her with a wry smile: "We also rented this house, and the owner would never agree to such extensive renovations."

"This……"

Faith frowned as well.

Without a complete renovation, she believes the house will always pose a safety risk.

"Mom, maybe we can buy this house."

Mark then made a suggestion.

"Ah! This house is near Hollywood, it must be expensive, right?"

Rosalie said with a surprised expression.

She clearly hasn't considered buying a house yet.

"This is just an ordinary house in a middle-class neighborhood. I estimate that I should be able to get this house for under $100 million."

Mark just checked his bank account balance again and found that it had reached $289 million.

Today, Stardew Valley's fame extends far beyond its usual gaming forums.

Major download websites and PC shareware platforms have also featured the game on their homepages, actively promoting it for free.

This led to a surge in the number of players downloading and installing Stardew Valley.

And more than 80% of those who try out this game will choose to buy it.

The number of people who bought the game today has exceeded 3, and Mark estimates that there will be another surge in sales.

Therefore, spending $100 million to buy this house is nothing to Mark now.

"This……"

Rosalie seemed momentarily dazed upon hearing Mark's boastful words.

She then realized that, because of Mark, the family's situation was now different.

She no longer has to work hard as an extra every day just to barely make ends meet, like before.

But the thought of spending Mark's money to buy a house still made Rosalie feel uneasy and ashamed as a mother.

"Mom, you should have the landlord's phone number, right? Let's contact him now and ask about the price!"

Mark didn't think too much about it and spoke directly.

"Uh, okay!"

Rosalie temporarily put aside her inner turmoil and took out her phone to call her landlord.

"Hello Mr. Smith, I'm Rosalie Payne, who rented your room! I'd like to ask if you're selling this house?"

"What, 110 million? I don't think your house is worth that much at all! If you're really willing to sell, I can offer 85, and we can also get a third-party appraisal company to give you a quote..."

Rosalie engaged in heated bargaining with the other party over the phone, eventually bringing the price down to 95.

"Okay, Mom, let's go with this price. Have him contact the real estate agent and close the deal as soon as possible!"

Mark said immediately that the price was acceptable.

The transaction went smoothly.

After both parties' agents verified the property rights, they signed the contract on the same day in the presence of a lawyer, and then completed the transfer of ownership at the housing management office.

"Will this house be ours from now on?"

When Rosalie returned home with the property certificate in hand, she could hardly believe it; it felt like she was dreaming.

Although she has lived in Hollywood for eight years, she only feels truly at home here now that she has her own house.

After learning that Rosalie had bought the Smith family's house, the neighbors all came to visit her.

Congratulations, Rosalie!

"Rosalie, you and Mark are welcome to visit my home often in the future."

"..."

Everyone congratulated Rosalie, their attitude noticeably more enthusiastic than before.

While these neighbors had been friendly to Rosalie and her son in the past, their kindness was merely superficial.

After all, they are just tenants, and they don't know when they will have to move out.

Now that Rosalie has actually bought the house, everyone can probably live together for decades to come, and even their children will continue to live together.

This kind of relationship is naturally different from before.

Rosalie could certainly sense this, which made her, who was always very concerned about her image, feel extremely pleased.

She then warmly extended a party invitation to everyone.

"I'll be hosting a party at my home in three days, Saturday at 2 PM. Everyone is welcome to come!"

“Great, our Clem neighborhood hasn’t had a party in a long time.”

"Rosalie, I'll definitely come to the party!"

"..."

The surrounding neighbors immediately cheered.

After seeing the neighbors off, Rosalie picked up her phone and invited Daphne and some friends she had met while working as an extra to her house for the party.

Watching Rosalie busy making phone calls, Mark could sense her joyful mood.

Mark turned and went back to his room.

He placed the five stun guns, high-energy batteries, and other items he had ordered online while in New York on the table in front of him.

Using tools, Mark disassembled all the stun guns and began modifying them.

Back in this familiar place, Mark did feel much safer, but he did not let his guard down.

This is the Marvel universe, after all; danger lurks everywhere.

Therefore, Mark must create more powerful weapons to protect himself and his family.

Using the electrical knowledge he had learned online, Mark quickly built a booster generator, increasing the voltage of the stun gun from 5 volts to 40 volts.

He then replaced the battery with a larger capacity one, increasing the current released by the stun gun to 1000 milliamps.

The stun gun that released 500 milliamps of current back then was enough to kill the mutant who kidnapped him instantly.

Now that the current has been increased to 1000 milliamps, the power is naturally even more terrifying.

The original battery could no longer support such a large power consumption.

Mark plugged two high-energy power supplies manufactured by Stark Industries into the battery compartment.

He then modified the liquid nitrogen spray device of the stun gun, increasing its range from just over ten meters to about 50 meters.

Mark put on insulated gloves and picked up the modified stun gun from the table.

What was originally a plastic toy-like stun gun has been modified to look high-tech, making it more deadly and dangerous.

Mark took the modified stun gun and walked to the cage containing the white mice that had been prepared in advance.

Mark pulled the trigger, and the stun gun fired hit the white mouse in the cage.

"Zzz..."

In a flash of lightning, the white mouse was instantly turned into charcoal.
