Inside Tony's luxurious villa.
Tony, who had just finished a simple test flight of the MK2 Iron Man Armor's exoskeleton, was having jarvis help him encase the exoskeleton's frame with the MK2 armor's shell.
At this point, the MK2 Iron Man Armor was still painted in a pure silver metallic finish, with rivet marks distributed along its edges, giving the MK2 Iron Man Armor a strong sense of steel and metal.
"Sir, there's a sudden energy signature two meters to your left. I advise you to pay attention, Sir."
Upon hearing jarvis's alert, Tony turned his head to see a Dimension Door, shimmering with sparks, appearing in his laboratory.
Immediately after, Chen Yu stepped out of the Dimension Door, and as soon as he emerged, he made a request: "Tony, can you help me contact a brandy wholesaler? I want to buy many, many large barrels of brandy. It would be best if you could also help me contact a few chicken farms; I also want to acquire a large amount of chicken blood."
Tony, who had already put on his mask, shook his middle finger at Chen Yu, rejecting Chen Yu's proposal.
"No, no, no. I'm busy with testing right now, I don't have time for you. And I'm not Aladdin's lamp, don't come to me with every wish, okay? Besides, I haven't even brought up what you did! After all, you stole so much of my private collection of alcohol."
Chen Yu keenly observed the pure silver MK2 Iron Man Armor Tony was wearing. This was Iron Man's second Iron Man Armor, and also the first armor to be equipped with jarvis.
Listening to Tony's complaints, Chen Yu spread his hands and explained.
"I asked jarvis, and it said all your private collection of alcohol was for parties. I also used your private collection of alcohol for a banquet, so roughly speaking, it's like you used it for a party."
Tony wasn't truly bothered by his private collection of alcohol being taken; he just mentioned it in passing.
He didn't listen closely to what Chen Yu was saying, but rather focused on testing the armor's joint flexibility.
Tony, wearing what was now a complete MK2 Iron Man Armor, took a few steps in the laboratory, then began to raise his arms horizontally, bend his elbows, rotate, and perform actions like front kicks, side kicks, and knee bends with his legs.
Watching Tony perform various flashy movements to test the armor's joint flexibility, Chen Yu clapped enthusiastically, giving him face, and then made a new request: "Tony, can you do a somersault?"
Tony rolled his eyes inside the armor and said to Chen Yu: "If you had come a day or two earlier, you might have seen me doing uncontrolled somersaults while testing the armor's flying ability. Don't even think about it now."
Then he said to jarvis: "Check the weather and air traffic control, monitor ground control."
jarvis, as Tony's intelligent butler, naturally understood Tony's meaning, and so he suggested to Tony: "Sir, before true flight, terabytes of calculations are required. I suggest..."
Tony was clearly not a person who adhered to convention or proceeded step-by-step. He directly told jarvis the life philosophy of "you have to run before you can walk," and ordered jarvis to prepare for liftoff.
Chen Yu watched as Tony controlled the MK2 Iron Man Armor, first bringing his feet and hands together, standing perfectly straight, then leaning slightly forward with palms open downwards.
Flame-like energy sprayed from his palms and feet. The thrust generated by these propulsion units was enough for Tony to achieve aerial flight.
Tony controlled the MK2 Iron Man Armor as it slowly ascended, then quickly took off.
Seeing Tony fly away, Chen Yu pulled out his Nimbus 2000 and followed him.
At this time, the MK2 Iron Man Armor's flying speed was not fast, and Chen Yu, riding his Nimbus 2000, quickly caught up.
As soon as they left Tony's underground parking garage, Tony's "Woohoo!" could be heard from the sky.
If the low-altitude test flight in the laboratory didn't count, this was Tony's first time flying.
Chen Yu understood Tony's feelings at this moment very well.
When he first learned to fly, Chen Yu was equally excited, but at that time, there were quite a few other Little Wizards who could also fly, so Chen Yu didn't shout out like Tony.
Flight has always been a human dream. Being able to fly freely in the sky offers an unprecedented sense of freedom and exhilaration.
Seeing Chen Yu catch up on his flying broom.
Tony first hovered, waiting for Chen Yu to catch up, then said to the approaching Chen Yu: "Let's see whose speed is faster!"
After saying that, without waiting for Chen Yu's agreement, he shot off ahead.
Seeing Tony in such a playful mood, Chen Yu shook his head and slowly trailed behind Tony on his Nimbus 2000.
At this moment, Chen Yu had no intention of competing for first place, as there was no prize at stake.
Seeing that Chen Yu's flying speed wasn't fast, Tony turned back and said to Chen Yu: "Let's have a competition. This time, let's see who flies higher. If you win, I'll give you whatever winery or chicken farm you mentioned for free!"
Hearing Tony add a wager, Chen Yu became interested.
Watching Tony once again take the lead and ascend, Chen Yu, controlling his Nimbus 2000, naturally refused to be outdone.
But Tony's flying speed could only be described as terrifying. Even though Chen Yu was using a Nimbus 2000, the best flying broom on the market in the magic world, his flying speed still couldn't compare to Tony's, and he was quickly left behind by Tony again.
But Chen Yu did not give up. After all, how could something solved with magic be called cheating?
He simply opened a Dimension Door at an altitude of 100,000 feet, effortlessly surpassing Tony's flying height in an instant.
However, at an altitude of 100,000 feet, the air was not only thin, but the temperature was also chillingly cold. Chen Yu shivered and sneezed several times, forced to activate a Magic Shield to envelop his entire body, isolating himself from the biting wind and cold, and then cast a Bubblehead Charm on himself, which made him feel much better.
【Magic Shield】
【Skill Introduction: A magic from "Lost Ark". Players can generate an all-directional protective field around their body using magic. While this shield exists, each time damage is taken, the damage can be offset by twice the magic value. When actively touching the Magic Shield, it will emit a shockwave to knock back enemies. In shield status, the player's movement speed is increased by 10%.】
This was a shield-type magic skill Chen Yu had acquired, and it was perfect for mitigating the continuous damage caused by the cold currents at high altitudes.
Feeling the magic slowly draining from his body, Chen Yu leisurely awaited Tony's arrival.
At this moment, the glow of the Magic Shield on Chen Yu's body in the night sky was the best beacon to guide jarvis to fly towards him.
Tony naturally saw Chen Yu high in the sky. Unwilling to admit defeat, he ignored jarvis's warnings and chose to continue ascending.
However, the MK2 Iron Man Armor's design did not initially account for the issue of high-altitude icing, which led to a fatal icing phenomenon occurring on the armor at an altitude of around 100,000 feet.
Following this, all four propulsion units of the MK2 Iron Man Armor flamed out.
Affected by Earth's gravity, Tony plummeted from the high altitude like an eagle with broken wings.
Discovering that jarvis had crashed due to the freezing, Tony was also greatly frightened and quickly tried to find a way to call Chen Yu for help.
Chen Yu saw this scene and quickly rode his flying broom to catch up.
First, he cast a Levitation Charm on Tony to reduce his descent speed, then opened a Dimension Door, directly sending Tony back to his luxurious mansion laboratory.
The MK2 Iron Man Armor passed through the Dimension Door and landed in Tony's laboratory, and due to the Levitation Charm, it did not make much noise.
Chen Yu also followed through the Dimension Door and arrived back in Tony's laboratory.
Looking at the somewhat disheveled Tony, Chen Yu deactivated his Magic Shield and Bubblehead Charm.
jarvis in the laboratory restarted its operating system: "Sir, I apologize for not being able to assist you in that situation."
"No, jarvis, it was my fault. I didn't consider the issue of high-altitude icing during the initial design."
Tony took off his armor and leaned against the wall behind him to rest.
The high-altitude icing just now had truly startled him; the palpitations hadn't faded yet, and he even felt a bit weak in his legs.
Seeing Chen Yu arrive in the laboratory again through the Dimension Door, Tony gave an awkward smile. Clearly, his reckless high-altitude race had left him feeling uncomfortable: "Thanks, Chen Yu. You saved my life again. Pepper will handle what I promised you earlier. But, can I ask what you need large quantities of brandy and chicken blood for?"
"Preparing to raise dragons."
"Raise dragons with brandy?"
