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

These three mutants all have great potential, but they clearly haven't unlocked that potential yet, nor do they know how to use their abilities.

If they could have cooperated effectively, they wouldn't have been able to kill their captors, but they should have been able to escape easily from them and wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state.

Ian and the other two felt ashamed, but they were powerless to refute the facts.

"You will stay here for the time being and do not go out or show yourselves easily. I will send someone to train you on how to use firearms."

Mark explained their plans for the future.

He didn't know what the mutants in Marvel were thinking; almost none of them used modern weapons!

However, in reality, modern weapons are powerful enough to kill most mutants, and only a few mutants of level 4 or above can truly ignore the threat of firearms.

Mark's plan is to teach Ian and the other two how to use various firearms and high-tech equipment, and then combine their abilities to achieve a synergy greater than the sum of its parts.

"You can take a look first. If you have no objections, you can sign this employment contract."

After Mark finished speaking, he took three contracts from Li Qianhuan's briefcase and handed them to them.

"A monthly salary is ten thousand US dollars!"

The three men took the contract and were surprised to see the salary Mark offered them.

A monthly salary of $10,000 is definitely a high salary for them!

The three of them initially had some objections to Mark's arrangements, but they immediately shut up after seeing the salary amount.

"This is just an internship contract. Your salary will be higher once you become full-time employees."

Mark continued to paint a rosy picture.

Mutants are a rare breed, so paying them higher salaries is worthwhile.

"Don't worry, Mark, we'll train hard!"

Ian and the other two immediately made a solemn promise.

After settling the three of them in, Mark and Li Qianhuan left.

"Sean, you don't need to follow me anymore. Go to the safe house and help me train three people, teach them how to use firearms."

When he got home, Mark called Sean over and gave him instructions.

Sean and Hank have been following Mark closely lately, responsible for his safety.

But as Mark's superhuman abilities continue to improve, the two of them are now offering him less and less help.

Therefore, Mark sent Sean out to be in charge of tactical training for Ian and the other two.

These bodyguards are very secretive; they are now basically aware that Mark and Li Qianhuan possess special abilities.

However, under Alice's close surveillance, Mark did not discover that they had leaked any information about him and Li Qianhuan.

Therefore, Mark was quite at ease sending Sean out to train the three mutants.

Sean did not hesitate at all when faced with Mark's order and immediately agreed.

After arranging things for Ian and the other two, Mark went to the airport the next day and took off again by plane.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and it is almost Christmas 1999.

After collecting sunlight points for the past six months, Mark has raised his Super Physique to level 9!

[Super Physique LV9 (0/512000)]

Sunlight index: 224087

The amount of sunlight needed to raise Super Physique to LV10 is too much, and Mark has only accumulated less than half of it so far.

Because Rosalie insisted that he go home for Christmas, Mark had no choice but to end his last flight of the year and return home.

"Not bad! My grip strength has now reached 8 tons, and my pulling force is 16 tons. A full-force punch can cause nearly 50 tons of damage!"

Mark tested his current strength at home using a hydraulic strength tester and nodded in satisfaction.

His current power has surpassed the strongest power that Olive, the beast-type mutant, could unleash.

"Ringling..."

Just then, Mark's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Killian calling.

"Boss, Switzerland is holding an international science and technology summit in Bern, inviting scientists from all over the world. I heard that Tony Stark will be there too!"

After the call connected, Killian told Mark something and then asked him, "Maya and I both received invitations. Can we go to the party together?"

"Of course, you can do it anytime."

Mark could hear the excitement in Killian's voice and readily agreed.

He recalled that it was at this very gathering that Maya Hansen obtained a crucial biological equation from Tony Stark, which filled a critical gap in the Extremis virus genetic model.

At the same time, Killian was humiliated by Tony Stark at this party, which led him down the path of complete corruption!

Chapter 72 Technology Summit (Seeking First Subscriptions)

"Have Maya take some of the research data on the Extremis virus with her. If she encounters Tony Stark, have her ask him for advice."

Mark gave Killian some instructions.

Although Mark's IQ is now numerically no less than Tony's after upgrading his super brain to LV10.

However, the knowledge that the other party has accumulated over more than 20 years is something that Mark cannot catch up with in just one year.

Just like a child who is very smart but has never been to school, he will only be an illiterate person who cannot read a single word.

Mark hopes that Maya can obtain the key formula to solve the Extremis virus vulnerability from Tony, just like in the original storyline.

"Okay, boss, I will tell Maya your request."

Killian nodded in agreement.

He was puzzled. Why did Mark arrange for Maya to go when he could ask Tony Stark for advice himself?

"By the way, Tony Stark is arrogant and conceited. Be careful when you get close to him, and don't believe everything he says."

Mark gave Killian one last reminder before hanging up the phone.

If possible, he still hoped that Killian wouldn't be humiliated by Tony like in the original storyline, otherwise it wouldn't be good if it broke him down.

Of course, even if Killian's fate is the same as in the original story, it's not a big problem.

After all, his life and death are now in Mark's hands, and whether he can turn to the dark side depends on whether Mark gives him the opportunity.

"Okay, boss."

Killian outwardly heeded Mark's advice, but inwardly he disagreed.

He was even a little upset that Mark spoke ill of Tony, after all, Tony was his idol!

Mark spent a pleasant Christmas at home with Rosalie.

Daphne was the first to visit, bringing Rosalie and Mark each a Christmas gift before taking her leave.

Mark keenly noticed that Daphne seemed to have a hint of worry on her face, even though she had been forcing a smile the whole time.

But since Daphne didn't say anything explicitly, and Rosalie didn't seem to notice, Mark didn't press the matter further.

Afterwards, neighbors came to visit, and the two sides exchanged Christmas gifts.

After Mark killed Ironblood leader Wyatt, the gang quickly declined, and now there's no trace of those Mexicans in the neighborhood anymore.

The security situation in the Clem neighborhood has now returned to normal.

The residents of Clem knew that it was all thanks to the Payne family, which made Rosalie's reputation in Clem even higher.

After Christmas, Rosalie was elected honorary chair of the neighborhood committee in the year-end elections!

Rosalie enjoyed the feeling of being respected.

She therefore rejected Mark's proposal to buy a mansion in Beverly Hills and move the whole family there.

Beverly Hills is home to Los Angeles' top billionaires and elites.

Rosalie worried that once she moved there, she would no longer enjoy the same status she had in the Clem neighborhood.

Mark wasn't idle at home either; he had to handle company affairs and listen to Silas's work reports.

"Boss, the number of users of 'Heroic Myths' has reached 850 million, and the profit this month is $1357 million; the number of users of Panda Chat software has also reached 1200 million, but there is no profit yet."

"Stardew Valley sold 8 copies this month, generating $80 in revenue; the two newest games, Plants vs. Zombies, sold 15 copies this month, generating $290 million in revenue; and Minecraft sold 25 copies this month, generating $325 million in revenue."

In the six months that followed, Mark used Alice to create two more games: Plants vs. Zombies and Minecraft.

These were all blockbuster games before Mark's time travel, and they indeed sold very well after he moved them to the Marvel universe.

After deducting taxes and company expenses, Mark earned more than $8000 million in the past six months.

This is also the source of his confidence to ask Rosalie to buy a mansion in Beverly Hills!

With the explosive popularity of "Heroic Mythology" and the release of "Plants vs. Zombies" and "Minecraft", Payne Games has reached the pinnacle of the Federation computer game industry!

Media reporters are already trying to uncover the identity of the owner behind Payne Games.

Although Payne Games hired professional lawyers as registered shareholders and external directors.

However, before the company was established, the names and addresses of the recipients in Stardew Valley were easy to find.

Reporters are now staking out Mark's house.

Perhaps Mark's identity as the owner of Payne Games can't be hidden for much longer.

"Panda Chat software has over 1200 million users? Silas, you should have someone prepare that this software should also try charging and introducing a membership system!"

Mark gave the instructions to Silas.

Currently, the entire federal network has only a little over 100 million users, while Panda Chat has 12 million users, completely suppressing other competitors.

"Won't launching a membership system now cause resentment and resistance from users?"

Silas asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, we're not forcing you to pay. It's just that members get better service. By the way, I'll send you a free web game in a couple of days, which can be launched in conjunction with the membership program."

Mark wasn't worried at all, after all, the success of this membership system had already been proven in his previous life.

Mark then spent two days creating the Happy Farm web game and sent it to Silas.

He believes that with the help of this game, the number of users of Panda Chat will see a surge, and the membership system can be successfully implemented.

While Mark was busy dealing with company affairs, the Bern International Technology Summit in Switzerland was held as scheduled.

Scientists and scholars from all over the world gathered in the lobby of the Hilton Hotel to exchange knowledge with each other.

When Tony Stark entered the venue, the atmosphere reached its peak.

"Hello Mr. Stark, I am Nolan Carter, a British physicist!"

“Mr. Stark, I am Raj Amir from India.”

"..."

Everyone warmly stepped forward to greet him.

Their enthusiasm for Tony wasn't because he was the world's richest man.

Rather, it was Tony's profound knowledge across various disciplines that completely impressed them.

Just like Killian, who was amazed after reading a biology paper published by Tony in Nature and regarded Tony as his idol.

Tony first took the stage and delivered a technical presentation related to new energy, which was met with enthusiastic applause from everyone present.

Then, with a smile on his face, he shook hands with everyone around him.

Although he appeared polite, he actually maintained a certain distance from everyone, with a cold and aloof gaze.

His eyes finally lit up when he saw Maya Hansen.

Chapter 73 Key Equations (Seeking First Subscriptions)

Tony had assumed the tech summit would be attended by mostly old men, but he was surprised to find a woman like Maya, who was both beautiful and elegant.

The other person possessed a scholarly air similar to his own, completely different from those celebrities and models who only had beautiful bodies, which immediately piqued his interest.

"Oh, beautiful lady, may I have the honor of inviting you to dinner alone after this party?"
