Metropolis: My Little Shop Connects All Worlds

Chapter 22: Dealing with Tony

Lu Xiao looked at Tony and asked, “Are you sure? You want to know?”

He didn’t know how Tony Stark died in other universes, but Lu Xiao knew how Tony Stark died in the MCU universe, even his last words.

“I’m sure!” Tony said.

He has a life span of up to three months with palladium poisoning, and no one knows about palladium poisoning except him.

“Well, since you want to know, then I’ll tell you, but the consequences are at your own risk.”

Lu Xiao continued: “Tony Stark, you will die in 2023. As for the cause of death? You snapped your fingers.”

Tony was stunned for a moment and sneered:

“You really are a liar, and I will die in 2023? The cause of death is still a snap of my fingers? Why didn’t you say I was killed by aliens? Well, boy, tell you…”

Before Tony could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Xiao: “Are you telling me that you are now poisoned by palladium and will not live more than three months?”

“How did you know?!” Tony exclaimed in surprise.

This guy obviously knows, why is he saying that, is he kidding himself?

“etc……”

Tony suddenly fell into thinking, what came to his mind, looked at Lu Xiao and said, “In other words, within the next three months, I have found a new element to replace ‘palladium’?!”

Only in this way can we explain why the guy in front of him said he would die in 2023.

Not palladium poisoning three months later.

Lu Xiao nodded.

“I knew that I, Tony Stark, was a genius. How could I not find an element to replace ‘palladium’.”

In a desperate situation, Tony can be said to be excited.

Looking at the excited Tony, Lu Xiao smiled and said:

“Now there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?”

Tony raised his eyebrows: “Of course it’s good news.”

“According to the original development, you will find an element to replace ‘palladium’ before your body collapses and complete your rebirth.” Lu Xiao said.

“Originally? What do you mean?” Tony asked with a frown.

He suddenly had a bad feeling.

Lu Xiao said: “Literally, as a scientist, you should know that many great inventions and discoveries are born by accident and coincidence.”

Tony’s face was a little unsightly.

What Lu Xiao meant, of course he understood.

Historically, the discovery of most new elements was an accidental event, and a deliberate search would not yield results.

That is to say…

When he searched for this purpose, he would not find it.

“It seems that you should have already thought of it. The bad news is that when I tell you this, you may not be able to discover this new element now.” Lu Xiao said.

Will Tony fail to discover new elements? It is possible, but extremely unlikely, so small that it almost never happens.

After all, in the MCU universe, Tony’s importance is irreplaceable. Even if he can’t find it, Gu Yi will send new elements to Tony’s eyes.

But Tony didn’t know, if he didn’t scare him, how could he honestly trade with himself.

Lu Xiao found that he was becoming more and more treacherous… It should be said that he knew more and more about the art of trading.

That’s right, he is just a small shop manager, not a devil, how can he be described as treacherous.

“Damn! You shouldn’t have told me this.” Tony said angrily.

Lu Xiao shrugged innocently and said, “I confirmed it to you, and I said beforehand that the consequences will be at your own risk.”

It has nothing to do with me, I am not responsible, don’t blame me…Three times.

Tony regrets it.

If you knew it earlier, why would you ask.

Suddenly thinking of something, Tony looked at Lu Xiao and asked, “You should know how I discovered the new element.”

Although it was an inquiry, Tony was basically certain, and the guy in front of him definitely knew.

“Of course!”

Lu Xiao asked with a smile: “Do you want to trade?”

Tony said with an ugly face: “What do you want?”

This kind of feeling is like something that is obviously yours, but only realizes its importance after you throw it away. At this time, someone takes the thing you throw away and asks you if you want to buy it, and it feels like a lion is ready to open its mouth.

“After you research the new energy, I want a new energy armor, which is the Mark-6 armor.” Lu Xiao quoted.

Tony wanted to refuse.

He didn’t want to give his armor to anyone, but apart from the armor and the Ark reactor, the guy in front of him didn’t want anything else. In a sense, he was really a poor ghost.

Dammit…

He is actually a poor man.

Seeing Tony’s hesitation, Lu Xiao said: “You don’t want to sell your armor to the military, you just don’t want to see your armor turn into a killing weapon, but you don’t have to worry about it when you sell it to me, the same one The world, it is difficult for a second customer to come here, that is to say, if you sell the armor to me, there is absolutely no need to worry that it will appear in your world again.”

“Do you have customers from other worlds here?” Tony said.

“Of course, this shop is connected to all realms, otherwise why would it be called a ten thousand realm shop?” Lu Xiao said.

“What kind of customers are there? Humans? Mechanical life? Consciousness life? Are you human? Is it because I am human that you appeared in front of me in human form…”

Tony seemed interested, and asked questions one by one.

“Stop!”

Lu Xiao said: “I can’t tell you about other customers without permission, I can only tell you that I am a human being, and most of my customers are also human beings. In the endless universe, human beings are very special. ”

Tony seemed a little dissatisfied with Lu Xiao’s answer.

But he did not continue to ask questions.

“Okay, I accept your offer, can you now tell me how the new element should be discovered?” Tony asked.

Lu Xiao recalled and said, “The model of the 1974 Stark Industry Fair, with the main exhibition hall as the nucleus, you should be able to handle the rest.”

Hearing this, Tony’s face became complicated: “The model of the Stark Industry Fair?”

“That’s right, it was an element constructed by your father. It was limited by the times, and there was no way to synthesize it at that time.” Lu Xiao said.

“I’ve been dead for 20 years, are you still teaching me…” Tony muttered.

After exhaling, Tony looked at Lu Xiao and said, “When the Mark-6 is developed, I will bring it to you.”

Tony is about to leave.

Walking to the door, he stopped suddenly, looked at Lu Xiao and asked, “How should I come next time?”

“I thought about coming here, think about it a few more times, and you will appear here.” Lu Xiao said.

“Magic, or technology?”

Tony’s curiosity flared up again.

Lu Xiao smiled and said, “It’s not magic, it’s not technology, it’s a kind of spiritual power.”

“Really? Goodbye then.”

After all, Tony stepped out of the store.
