According to Western tradition, the surname comes after the given name, so if we were to address Chen Yu the Western way, he would be called Yu Chen.
However, after Pepper heard Chen Yu's self-introduction, she would subconsciously call him Chen Yu.
It was as if his name was locked by some rule; everyone called him Chen Yu.
To put it bluntly, it was because Chen Yu's character name was registered as Chen Yu, so the NPCs in the game would subconsciously call him by that name after learning it.
"I apologize, it seems Tony has again given someone a nickname based on his own habits."
After Pepper heard Chen Yu's correction of his profession, she first apologized to Chen Yu, then thanked him: "I'm truly grateful to you. I heard from Tony that the situation was urgent, and if Dr. Ethan hadn't stepped forward to buy Tony time, Tony wouldn't have had time to put on the armor he made. You saved Dr. Ethan with your miraculous methods, which in turn saved Tony. I'm truly grateful to you."
As she spoke, tears welled up in Pepper's eyes again, and she looked at Chen Yu and Dr. Ethan with deep gratitude.
It had been over three months since Tony was attacked by terrorists in Afghanistan, and seeing the news of Tony's kidnapping on television had been particularly terrifying.
For these past few months, Pepper had been unable to sleep at night, guarding her private phone, fearing she would miss Tony's call for help.
It wasn't until five days ago that she received a call from Tony, learning that he had escaped, and only then did she relax, quickly contacting the military conducting exercises in the area to ensure they brought Tony back unharmed.
She also immediately boarded a private plane, heading to the city where Tony had called from as quickly as possible, eager to see him soon.
Therefore, Pepper was still extremely grateful to these two people who had saved Tony's life.
Especially after returning, Tony had become a changed man, first announcing at a press conference, without consulting other board members, the forced closure of Stark Industries' military division.
Then, after just one pool party, he dove into his laboratory, like a child, saying he wanted to design a "big toy" that would shock everyone.
Pepper didn't fully understand invention and design, but she understood Tony far too well.
In Pepper's eyes, Tony was a charming playboy, constantly radiating his charm to other women.
The fact that Tony only held one pool party after his return was unimaginable before.
The old Tony, one could say, lived a life of constant revelry, debauchery, and extravagance.
And all these changes stemmed from that terrorist attack.
Pepper couldn't say whether this change was good or bad, she could only pray that things would develop for the better.
"Miss Pepper, there's no need to be so polite. At that time, we were all in the same boat, and mutual help was only right. Could you please help me get in touch with Tony? I have something I'd like to meet him about."
Chen Yu expressed that these were all things he should do, while also asking Pepper for a meeting with Tony.
"It's not about the closure of Stark military industries, is it?" Pepper couldn't help but ask.
Most people who came to see Tony recently were about the closure of Stark Industries' military department.
There were military personnel, government officials, internal board members of the company, and even the FBI and someone from a department called the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, all came to inquire about what was going on, but they were all turned away by "Pepper."
Tony's stance on closing the military department was extremely firm; no one could change his mind.
Facing Tony's strong attitude, Pepper, though she didn't understand his decision, still supported him without hesitation.
"No."
"Then please wait a moment, I'll contact Tony first."
Pepper took out her phone, skillfully dialed the only number stored in it, and after a busy signal, the call finally connected.
After a conversation between them over the phone, Pepper hung up and informed Chen Yu that Tony was waiting for him at his private villa.
"Thank you, Miss Pepper."
Chen Yu nodded his thanks.
Pepper tidied up the desk files, left the office, and motioned for Chen Yu and Dr. Ethan to follow her.
The three of them didn't take the elevator down; instead, they went to the rooftop at the top of the building.
A black helicopter was parked on top of Stark Tower, and the pilot in a suit was already inside, ready to depart at any moment.
Pepper and Ethan had already skillfully boarded the helicopter, only Chen Yu was a bit curious.
Although a helicopter wasn't as convenient as a flying broom, this was Chen Yu's first close encounter with a private helicopter, and he couldn't help but feel curious.
The helicopter slowly rose, and the rotor's wind pressed the rooftop lawn tightly against the ground.
Chen Yu curiously looked around inside the helicopter. The feeling of taking off in a helicopter was completely different from riding a flying broom.
Although riding a flying broom didn't feel uncomfortable, a flying broom certainly wasn't windproof.
Especially in winter, without the protection of a spell, riding a flying broom through the sky could really freeze a person to death.
The helicopter flew higher and higher, putting all the tall buildings beneath its feet.
Chen Yu saw rows of congested cars on the streets of New York City, no wonder wealthy people liked to travel by helicopter, it turned out they were afraid of traffic.
Thinking about it, if two important figures had an appointment and one was late, the other might think they were stood up, call to inquire, and then find out the other was stuck in traffic and couldn't make it—that would indeed be a bit embarrassing.
Flying over skyscrapers, flying over suburban forests, the helicopter slowly descended, landing on the lawn of a luxurious villa.
As Chen Yu descended from the sky, he saw that this villa, in addition to a helicopter pad, also had a huge swimming pool, two tennis courts, and a massive private garden.
Truly, with money, you can do whatever you want.
Stepping out of the helicopter, Chen Yu didn't find Tony waiting to greet him at the helipad.
"That's just how Tony is, you'll get used to it."
Ethan tried to pat Chen Yu's little head, but Chen Yu dodged him.
He only had the appearance of a child in the game, he wasn't actually a child.
The three of them walked down from the helicopter, preparing to enter the villa.
Just as they reached the main gate, they heard jarvis's voice from the surroundings.
"Welcome home, Miss Pepper, Dr. Ethan. Oh, and the marvelous Magic Boy, sir. I am the intelligent butler, jarvis, pleased to be of service."
Hearing jarvis's address to him, Chen Yu corrected him again: "Call me Chen Yu, or Wizard Chen Yu, Mr. Chen Yu, anything is fine, just please don't call me the marvelous Magic Boy, it sounds strange."
"I apologize, Mr. Marvelous Magic Boy, you do not have permission to change the address. I suggest you personally make the suggestion to Mr. Tony Stark."
Pepper, standing nearby, spoke up: "jarvis, change 'Marvelous Magic Boy' to 'Chen Yu' and inform Tony that we have arrived."
"Very well, Miss Pepper. The address 'Marvelous Magic Boy' has been changed to 'Chen Yu'. Mr. Tony is currently in the laboratory. I have informed Mr. Tony, you may proceed directly to the laboratory to find him."
While Pepper and jarvis were conversing, Chen Yu scanned the interior decor of the large villa.
There was no TV feature wall, no flamboyant crystal chandeliers, and no layers of suspended ceilings or plaster lines.
Instead, there were circular sofas, a warm fireplace, soft carpets, and stylish floor lamps.
Cozy, simple, yet grand and tasteful.
This was Chen Yu's first impression of the large villa.
Hearing jarvis state Tony's location, Pepper led Chen Yu and Ethan to an underground laboratory.
Around the laboratory were various machine forging tools; these pieces of equipment looked very precise.
They were immeasurably more advanced than the crude weapon workshop he first saw upon waking in this world.
Chen Yu saw a set of equipment projecting a 3D holographic model of an illusory battle suit into the air.
He saw Tony gesturing back and forth with his index finger, seemingly making changes to some issues in the design.
Chen Yu picked up a discarded mechanical armor arm lying next to a trash can at the laboratory entrance.
This metallic texture, this streamlined shell design, these flexibly moving finger joints.
Was this something that could be casually discarded next to a trash can?
He was truly inhumanely extravagant!
