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

Once Jarvis found the data he wanted, he deleted all the logs of his intrusion and the alerts Alice had issued, and finally closed the intrusion backdoor again.

"Sir, the Mark family has recently been involved in two shootouts with gangs, they're fostering two teenage girls in their home, and a gang called the Latin Gang is also targeting him. Furthermore, he seems to be working on a new game..."

Jarvis told Tony Stark in detail about what had recently happened to Mark.

"This kid's life has been quite colorful lately..."

Tony Stark was speechless; he hadn't expected Mark to run into so much trouble.

Compared to Mark, his life was quite ordinary. He attended various parties every day, dated different beautiful women, and visited the group's headquarters whenever he had free time.

As for gangs and similar organizations, Tony Stark has never encountered anyone who dared to cause him trouble since he was a child.

"Jarvis, prepare a plane for me. I'm going to Los Angeles."

Tony Stark hesitated for a moment before speaking.

At this moment, he felt conflicted.

His childhood trauma made him afraid to have his own children, so he never thought about acknowledging Mark.

But after a period of no news from Mark, Tony Stark felt a strange emptiness in his heart.

He hasn't even figured out what he's going to do in Los Angeles yet, and he's already made the hasty decision to fly there.

"Okay, sir."

Jarvis couldn't understand Tony Stark's complicated feelings; it simply followed orders and contacted the crew to prepare for their flight to Los Angeles.

Clem neighborhood.

"The game is finally finished!"

Mark breathed a sigh of relief after typing the last line of code.

Alice's computing power is now vastly different from what it used to be.

With her help, Mark completed the game "Heroic Myth" in just one week.

He first sent the game to Rosalie, Li Qianhuan, and all the bodyguards in his house, so they could try it out.

Rosalie wasn't very interested in the game; she preferred casual games like Stardew Valley.

Li Qianhuan and her bodyguards mostly enjoyed the game and would team up for a match whenever they had free time.

Mark was quite satisfied with the result, after all, not everyone enjoys intense competitive games.

He immediately uploaded the game to a download website and then had Alice promote it on various game forums, just like last time.

Chapter Forty-Two: Takeoff!

While having Alice advertise on various gaming forums, Mark also created an instant messaging software, which he named Panda Chat, with an icon of an adorable panda.

Mark bundled the PandaChat software with two games he created.

Whether you've purchased Stardew Valley or installed Myth of Heroes, you'll see the panda icon once you enter the game.

In addition to chatting with friends, the Panda Chat app also includes a built-in game website and game forum.

In the future, gamers can use Panda Chat software to find friends to team up with or exchange game experiences on forums.

Today, more than two million players have purchased Stardew Valley, and Mark quickly gained nearly a million users after launching the Panda Chat app.

Meanwhile, the new game Heroic Myth also gained rapid promotion through the Panda Chat software, with the number of people downloading and installing the game increasing dramatically!

"That's great! In just three days, the number of players who have downloaded and installed Heroic Myth has exceeded one million!"

Looking at the backend data, Mark nodded in satisfaction.

The speed at which this game was promoted far exceeded that when Stardew Valley was first launched.

However, new players may not be familiar with the gameplay of Heroic Myth, and currently not many players choose to pay for the game.

Heroic Myth is an online game that requires daily maintenance and operation.

As the number of players increased, relying solely on Alice was too much of a waste of her daily computing power, so Mark decided to start a game company.

Starting a company from scratch takes too much time.

Mark quickly found a small to medium-sized game company on the verge of bankruptcy through online research, then spent $120 million to buy the company and renamed it Payne Games.

He handed over the operation and maintenance of the two games he had created to this newly established game company and stopped interfering with them.

"Things at the company have been taken care of. Now the most important thing is to improve my own skills!"

Mark knew very well that in the Marvel universe, strength was the most important thing.

Without sufficient strength, it's difficult to keep even a lot of money you earn.

Mark had previously discovered while traveling to and from New York by plane that he could get sunlight several times faster on an airplane than on the ground.

Now that he has enough funds, it's time to buy a private jet and quickly collect Sunlight Points.

Mark contacted an airline brokerage firm and entrusted them with the entire process of purchasing an aircraft, handling all the formalities, and recruiting staff such as captains, security guards, cooks, and flight attendants.

A week later, the airline brokerage firm completed everything for Mark, who readily paid the total of $800 million.

"Damn, I'm out of money again!"

Mark felt a pang of heartache looking at the less than $100 million in his bank account.

But it's all worth it to get stronger quickly!

"Mom, I need to go away for a while. Could you go to the community elementary school and ask for a long leave for me?"

Mark found Rosalie and spoke to her.

"Huh? What are you going to do? How long will it take?"

Rosalie asked in surprise.

"You know I just started a game company and I'll be away for more than half a month to handle company affairs!"

Mark wouldn't tell anyone about his abilities; he'd only use other excuses.

Rosalie had grown accustomed to Mark's precociousness.

Despite her worries, she finally nodded in agreement: "Okay, but you have to video call Mom every day while you're away, so she doesn't worry."

"Okay, Mom, don't worry."

Mark naturally nodded in agreement.

After dealing with Rosalie, Mark took out his phone and called his captain, Dalton Lawrence.

"Dalton, have the crew prepare for my flight tomorrow."

"Mr. Payne, where are you flying to? I'll report this to the control tower for you."

Dalton asked in a respectful tone.

"Hmm... You can plan the flight path yourself. Just make sure the plane keeps chasing the sun and avoids areas covered by thunderstorms."

Only by flying in the direction of the sun can Mark maximize his sun exposure throughout the day.

"Huh? You...you don't have a destination?"

Dalton was a little confused.

He had been a captain for so many years and had never heard of such a strange request.

"No destination... Flying is my hobby, just plan the route according to my requirements."

Mark gave a perfunctory reply.

"Well... okay, I'll help you plan the flight route and handle all the formalities."

Dalton said he didn't quite understand and could only consider it a hobby of the wealthy.

The next morning, Mark was escorted to the airport by two bodyguards.

Dalton, accompanied by more than ten crew members, stood at the hatch to greet them.

"Good day, Mr. Payne!"

Despite being surprised by Mark's age, the crew members bowed to him in unison.

"Yes, thank you all for your hard work this time."

Mark nodded and boarded the plane with his two bodyguards.

This was Mark's first time boarding his own plane; he had only seen photos and videos of it before.

The aircraft has a large interior space, measuring 15 meters long, about 2.5 meters high, and nearly 3 meters wide at its maximum.

The interior is also luxuriously decorated—wood veneer floors, genuine Italian leather seats, and thick wool carpets.

Mark was most satisfied with the extra-large oval windows on both sides of the cabin, which ensured he could get enough sunlight.

Once Mark was seated on the sofa in the front cabin, the plane immediately began takeoff.

"boom!"

With a roar, the plane quickly pierced the clouds and soared into the sky.

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

As the plane reached its highest point and began to fly steadily, Mark's rate of gaining sunlight also began to increase dramatically.

"The speed at which sunlight is collected here is definitely incomparable to that on the ground..."

Mark let the sunlight shine on his face, feeling the rising sunlight intensity, and comfortably closed his eyes.

"Sir, what would you like to drink?"

A beautiful and alluring flight attendant walked up to Mark with a tray of drinks, bent down, and respectfully inquired.

Mark casually picked up a bottle of milk and placed it on the table in front of him.

He then opened his laptop on the table and used the Panda Chat software to make a video call with Rosalie.

Although there are many instant messaging software programs available online, few companies invest time and effort in expanding their functionality because these programs are free.

However, the Panda Chat software created by Mark already has a very complete set of functions.

Initially, some users complained, believing that Mark shouldn't have bundled the chat software with the game, forcing players to use it.

However, after using it for a while, these players found it surprisingly good and gave the Panda Chat software rave reviews.

Now, some users who haven't installed the game are also starting to actively download and install this chat software.

Chapter Forty-Three: Harvest

"Mom, I've arrived at the company and I'm handling company matters now."

Mark positioned the camera away from the airplane window, making Rosalie think she was in her office.

Mark also ordered his two bodyguards not to tell Rosalie what happened on the plane.

"Okay, I've already helped you get a long leave from school. But according to school regulations, you can only have a maximum of 21 days of leave."

"When the time comes, you will need to go back to school to take the exam. Only after you pass can you continue to apply for leave."

Mark was quite satisfied with the result.

Anyway, with his abilities, passing the primary school exam shouldn't be a problem; he can just ask for leave again.

After ending his call with Rosalie, Mark then video-called Silas Knight, the president of Payne Games.

Silas was the president of the game company before Mark acquired it, and Mark has not yet made any personnel changes.

Whether he can keep his position as president depends on his future performance.

"Mr. Payne, the number of users of the game Heroic Myth has now reached 150 million, and the amount of money spent by players yesterday was $13.7."

Silas reported to Mark.

"That's good, more and more players are starting to pay!"

Mark nodded in satisfaction.

Online games have a longer lifespan; as long as they can continue to attract players, the revenue can continue indefinitely.

How many users does the Panda Chat app have now?
