Chapter 13: Tony’s Escape
When Tony saw Yang Tao's message, he was overjoyed. He had never been able to guarantee Yinsen's safety—he couldn't even ensure his own.
No one else in the group could help either. At this point, nobody had the ability to travel between worlds, and the most advanced weapons were all in his hands.
But now, Yang Tao was saying he could help. How could Tony not be surprised?
"Thank you! If possible, please help me find a way to protect Yinsen!"
[Group member Yang Tao has sent a special red envelope]
Yang Tao took out a spare set of diamond armor. Even though it was a backup, it had the same enchantments and stats as the one he was wearing. He also included some healing potions and agility potions.
"Accept the red envelope and have Yinsen equip the armor by thinking about wearing it. The red potions are healing potions—regular bottles are for drinking when injured, while the ones with a curved neck are splash potions. Throw them on the ground, and anyone nearby will be healed. The blue potions are agility potions—use them the same way as the healing ones. Oh, right, Tony, I'll send you something else too!"
Yang Tao suddenly remembered that he could directly heal Tony's chest wound. He grabbed two golden apples and two buckets of milk, stuffed them into another red envelope, and sent it over.
"Tony, start a livestream. I want to see how it works." Yang Tao tricked Tony into going live—he was curious to see how Tony would manage to drink a whole bucket of milk.
The bucket wasn't huge, but it still held about two liters. That was more than enough to make Tony struggle.
"Tony, the golden apple boosts your body's condition and reduces damage taken, but only for five minutes. The milk removes all negative effects, so you have to drink the whole thing!"
Tony opened the red envelope, and all the items appeared in front of him. Seeing the diamond armor glow with enchantments, his eyes lit up with excitement. If he weren't still in danger, he would've taken time to study everything.
[Group member Tony Stark has started a group livestream]
The system notification popped up, and everyone in the group joined the stream.
Yang Tao's vision blurred for a moment, and suddenly, he appeared next to Tony. However, he was just a ghostly projection.
Looking around at everyone, he greeted them.
"Hey, everyone! Nice to meet you. Didn't expect the livestream system to be this convenient."
Zhang Wenjing glanced around before looking at Tony.
"Wow, Uncle Tony, I didn't expect you to be this messy!"
Tony: "..."
He had been stuck in this cave for almost a month. What was he supposed to do? There were no conditions to clean himself up—his hair was a complete mess, and he had been working nonstop. It would be a miracle if he looked neat.
Li Yunlong was also curiously observing everything. Even though he had seen some of this in the movies, experiencing it firsthand felt completely different. He stood next to a missile, examining it closely.
"Sigh! If my troops had these weapons, we wouldn't have to fear those damn invaders. No matter how many came, we could take them all down. Hey, when you get out of here, can you sell me some weapons and ammo? Whatever you need, I'll find a way to get it!"
Hearing this, Tony frowned. He had planned to follow the movie's events—destroy all the weapons and shut down the weapons division when he got back.
But now, a group member was asking for weapons. Since they had just sent him a red envelope full of supplies, he figured he could return the favor.
"Alright, I'll send you everything here in a bit. Once I get back, I'm shutting down my weapons division for good. I won't be making weapons anymore, but I'll send you my existing stock as an investment."
Li Yunlong was beyond excited. He knew these were high-tech weapons from the future. Even the weakest one would be more than enough to crush their enemies.
"Thank you, thank you! I don't even know what to say! I'm just a rough guy, not good with words, but if you ever need my help, just say the word!"
