Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#430 - Ark Reactor

After getting off the subway at the nearest station, Liang Yue, under Xiao Wu's electronic shielding, quickly and uneventfully returned home.

Just as he was about to enter the stronghold world, Xiao Wu sent him a somewhat unexpected message~

"Report, Master! There's news online about Mr. Stark! He seems to have been attacked by unknown individuals during a race in Monaco!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Liang Yue's heart stirred, and Xiao Wu, who was genetically and brainwave-linked to him, immediately projected the relevant video footage in front of him.

On a professional racetrack, the brilliant sunlight scorched the earth.

On both sides of the track, a large number of spectators were gathered not far behind the safety nets.

In the center of the track, a middle-aged man with disheveled long hair was wielding two electric whips, twirling them while holding a toothpick in his mouth, constantly approaching Tony Stark, who was only wearing a racing suit.

It's worth noting that a circular glowing object was placed on the middle-aged man's chest, resembling Stark's miniature arc reactor.

However, Liang Yue knew that the devices on these two men were not the same type, or rather, not from the same generation.

Seeing this scene, someone familiar with the plot immediately realized what was happening.

That middle-aged man is Whiplash~

Yes, Ivan Vanko~

Believing himself to be burdened with a deep blood feud, he had traveled from the distant country of the Arctic Bear to Monaco, with the aim of avenging himself against Tony Stark.

At this moment, the middle-aged man's behavior seemed a bit reckless.

In broad daylight, he dared to attack Stark, the top American tycoon, on the racetrack.

In reality, this man was exceptionally clever.

It would naturally be best to kill Stark on the spot~

But even if he couldn't kill him, his actions could still use the arc reactor on his body as bait to lure out individuals interested in the arc reactor technology to cooperate with him.

After some maneuvers, Ivan Vanko was immediately knocked to the ground~

However, that wasn't the end of it!

The system also sent Liang Yue his first mission in the real world at this time~

...

"Ding~! Based on the current development of the real-world plot, the system hereby releases the mission 'Arc Reactor'. As the key to humanity's overall step out of Earth, the host needs to master this type of nuclear fusion technology."

"Mission requirements: Obtain a physical sample of the arc reactor and the complete reactor technology."

"Mission rewards: One random tech-related lottery opportunity, and one thousand points in the store."

...

"Looks like the difficulty of this mission isn't too high~"

"It's only a thousand points, and the lottery type is also limited to the technology range."

"Hmm~ Xiao Wu, after having the arc reactor, you should be able to deduce the corresponding technology, right?"

After understanding the mission information, Liang Yue subconsciously turned his neck, and a series of cracking sounds of bones popping immediately echoed in the air.

Looking at the Stark attack incident in front of him, which had quickly topped the headlines of major media outlets around the world, a sense of anticipation unconsciously arose in his heart.

"Of course, Master! As long as you can get a physical sample of the arc reactor, Xiao Wu can definitely deduce the corresponding technology in a short period of time, and as long as various experimental materials and equipment are in place.

Even assembly line production equipment won't be a problem for Xiao Wu!"

"That's good!"

Speaking of which~ Although Liang Yue considered himself a genius, and had some unique insights in terms of cultivation and enlightenment.

But for technology-related things, he had always been just a passive user.

If Liang Yue had to develop the arc reactor and the technical principles behind it himself, this guy would most likely be unwilling.

Because he didn't want to waste his precious time on things that didn't align with his main cultivation path.

Fortunately, Liang Yue now had Xiao Wu by his side, which could save him a lot of trouble!

"By the way! If we're just talking about the technology of the arc reactor, doesn't Ivan himself have it?"

"Extracting information from the other party's soul is exactly my strength!"

"However, the system said it's the complete version of the reactor technology. This requirement is infinitely close to the knowledge that Stark possesses."

"Ivan's concept seems to be a bit incomplete right now."

"What's the reason?"

"Simply not enough speed?"

"It shouldn't be that simple, right? And he'll soon get Stark's guidance."

Thinking of this, Liang Yue immediately had Xiao Wu check the other party's current location.

As a result, it was obvious that Ivan had only been arrested a few minutes ago, and hadn't even entered the detention center yet, and was currently being escorted by a group of police officers to the local police station...

As for the crude version of the arc reactor that Tony tore off from the other party's body, it was blown up on the spot by this dog tycoon~

"It seems like it's still a bit early."

"Forget it, let's wait for the later plot to take action."

"Anyway, the system hasn't specified a time for completing the mission, so it won't affect the mission rewards~"

"However, as Stark's friend and partner, I should visit him."

"Then~ let's go together tomorrow."

...

After making up his mind, Liang Yue just had Xiao Wu pay attention to Tony's movements, and then flashed into the stronghold world.

As soon as he arrived in the village, he looked up and saw the figures of the Takagi mother and daughter, Yang Buhui, Nana, and others, gathered together in the distance, whispering something abnormally.

And teacher Shizuka was even more flushed, her eyes filled with tears, and she was breathing rapidly.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at the appearance of teacher Shizuka, Liang Yue subconsciously touched the other party's forehead, and then directly cast an observation spell on this woman.

The feedback he received was that Shizuka had been drugged...

"How did this happen?"

Looking at teacher Shizuka, who was already pulling his arm and then throwing herself into his arms, Liang Yue immediately turned his gaze to Nana, who was looking a little uneasy and had a strange expression.

"Before returning from the city, we found a bar that looked decent nearby, who knew that we had only just drunk two glasses when we were targeted.

Sister Shizuka, without paying attention, fell for those people's tricks, fortunately, the result was thrilling but not dangerous, the effects of this drug don't seem to be strong, and those people have already been knocked down by us."

After speaking, Nana stuck out her tongue and shyly shifted her gaze to the other side.

"A drug that can affect you guys, and the effect isn't strong... Why not just detoxify?"

Looking at Shizuka, who was hugging him and slowly twisting in his arms, Liang Yue pursed his lips and asked.

It was said that detoxification shouldn't be difficult for them.

Whether it was the antidote in the Diablo 2 dungeon, or the milk, ancient fruit wine, and other items in the current stronghold world, they all had considerable detoxification effects.

Who knew~ After hearing this, Saya Takagi rolled her eyes at him, then crossed her arms and put on a teasing look on her face.

"Does that need to be said, Sister Shizuka is waiting for you~"

"..."
