Chapter 118: New Elements of Bant
"Sir, there's an intruder."
"Sir, there's an intruder."
Jarvis' voice was so vague as if it was covered by several layers of transparent glass, making Tony feel as if his head was chopped open by an axe and the pain was unbearable.
"what……"
He reached out to cover his head, but a crisp metallic sound came out.
Only then did he remember that he was wearing armor and his hands and head were made of iron.
After sobering up a little, he felt the urge to urinate. Then, without thinking, Tony opened the floodgates in the armor and released the water. After a while, he shook himself happily, as if the drunkenness had dissipated a little.
Then, he heard a somewhat unfamiliar voice.
"Peeing directly in the armor? How disgusting!"
Tony was stunned and quickly jumped up from the ground, knocking over several bottles of famous liquor, but he didn't care at all. Instead, he looked vigilantly not far away.
There, a man in a tight black uniform sat in his chair, with giant white spiders attached to his chest like skeletons, and gray chains tightly wrapped around his arms.
"Spider-Boy?" Tony subconsciously wanted to rub his eyes, wondering if he was dreaming, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, there was another crisp sound.
"When did you change your clothes?" he asked.
Obviously, Tony has not paid attention to anything happening in the outside world during this period of time, otherwise he would know that the person in front of him was not the Spider-Man in his memory, but a hacker.
He spent his days in drunkenness and dreams, thinking that the life he had snatched back from the god of death would eventually come to an end.
"Actually, I'm curious, how do you pee in the armor?" Bant asked curiously. He clearly remembered that Tony was wearing clothes inside.
"Direct release? Let the urine soak your thighs? Or do you have a catheter inserted in the front?"
Tony's face darkened, and he obviously didn't want to continue this topic.
He took a breath and vented his anger on Jarvis: "Jarvis, why did you let this guy in?!"
"Sir, I have already warned you that there is an intruder who has hacked into my security system..." Jarvis said.
"what?"
This time Tony was even more surprised.
You know, ever since his security system was hacked by a certain bastard once, he had specially strengthened it.
Tony was very confident that no one could break through his firewall, but now, it was broken through by the guy in front of him.
He widened his eyes and said subconsciously:
"If I remember correctly, you should be only 16 years old?"
On the one hand, this statement was a surprise at Bant's genius, and on the other hand, it was also a warning to Bant that he already had all his information at hand, and that he'd better not have any bad thoughts.
"I have to remind you, sir, that he is not the same person as Spider-Man." Jarvis habitually said, "His nickname is the hacker. Based on the information we have obtained, there is an 80% probability that the hacker's true identity can be determined to be Bant Parker."
Although Tony Stark was ignorant of the world during this period, Jarvis was not idle. He kept collecting information from the outside world and had already started investigating when the Matrix Spider-Man first appeared.
Since it has been investigated that Spider-Man is Peter Parker, it is very reasonable to suspect that the hacker is Peter's cousin. By comparing data such as height, Jarvis believes that this speculation is very likely.
Bant did not feel any emotional fluctuations about the explosion of his first layer of armor.
To be honest, the value of the identity of Matrix Spider-Man is to ensure that the secret of the watch is not discovered.
I am already Spider-Man, you are not allowed to guess that I am an alien anymore!
Therefore, after hearing Jarvis' analysis, Bant simply took off his hood and complimented him: "Your artificial intelligence is amazing. I only appeared once, but I was discovered."
"Twice, in fact, sir," said Jarvis.
"A month ago, you appeared with Spider-Man in another uniform. The person who rescued Senator Andrea's niece was not Spider-Man, but a hacker."
"You know this as well."
Bant was a little surprised.
Sure enough, for artificial intelligence that cannot work without sleep or tirelessness, it is difficult for ordinary people to keep up with it.
Tony was confused by the conversation between the two men, but he also understood one thing, that is, Bant was most likely not an enemy.
Tony did investigate Peter before his condition worsened.
That energetic little bug never gets tired of doing good deeds. Since the guy in front of him is his cousin, he should be a good person... probably.
Given that Bant broke into his laboratory without a word and mocked him for needing a ureter to urinate, Tony had reservations about Bant's character.
Whether it is good or bad depends on the other party's purpose.
However, he was more curious about
"How did you break through my firewall?" Tony opened his mask, walked to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of wine, and threw it to Bant, "Drink?"
"Underage."
Bant pushed the wine away and said, "Jarvis's protection program is very powerful. It took me a lot of effort to crack it. And it quickly regained its authority."
The actual situation is that he first turned into a little surprise soldier, and then launched an attack on Jarvis together with Eunice.
The name "Hacker" is more suitable for the little warrior. Hearing this, Tony raised his eyebrows provocatively, took a sip of wine, and said, "I am really good! But you are not bad either, just a little worse than me."
There are only two things Tony will not do in his life. First, admit that others are better than him. Second, admit that he is not as good as his father.
"So, you went to so much trouble to hack into my system. What exactly do you want to do? Do you want to use your skills to find a job? Sure, I'll give you one hundred... five million per year. Report to the Human Resources Department."
He waved his hand, indicating that Bant could leave.
But Bant did not move away. Instead, he leaned back in his chair and said comfortably, "Tony Stark, I am here to negotiate terms with you. No, to make a deal."
Tony frowned: "Five million is not enough? You are a little greedy, okay, ten million."
At this time, Jarvis added a stab to him: "Sir, I'm afraid Mr. Parker doesn't care about 10 million US dollars. According to the public information, Mr. Parker is the president of Primos."
"Primus?"
Hearing the name, Tony sobered up a little.
Before this, before he completely fell into despair, he had done a lot about his treatment plan.
Under the premise that the palladium element cannot be replaced, direct surgery to remove the shrapnel is also an option. This type of surgery is originally very risky, but after Norman Osborn announced the advent of a self-healing potion a month ago, the risk has become very small.
But Tony wouldn't try.
Because the self-healing serum was invented by someone else, and it is sold by the Osborne Group.
And the company he hated the most was Osborne!
If he used Osborn's self-healing potion, wouldn't that be admitting that he, and even Stark, were not as good as Osborn?
With such twisted stubbornness, Tony rejected Jarvis' proposal at that time.
However, he did not expect that the person in charge of Primus was so young. At the same time, Tony's mind became active.
Although he would rather die than use other people's technology for the sake of his persistence, the situation at that time was not as urgent as it is now. He was really about to die at this moment.
In this case, Tony's bottom line naturally became a little more flexible.
It's a bit embarrassing to buy the self-healing potion directly, but if the other party begs for help and then delivers the potion to me, then it shouldn't be considered a loss...
So Tony pretended to be indifferent and generous and asked, "What do you want from me, kid?"
At this moment, he was like a genie emerging from a magic lamp. He clearly had desires, but he still looked like: Tell me, three wishes.
Seeing this, Bant shook his head and laughed: "Look at you, Tony Stark, the famous genius, now you have fallen into this state, how much of your life do you have left to indulge?"
"What do you mean?"
"Don't play dumb. Smart people know that you won't live long. Palladium is a double-edged sword, right? You need to use it to absorb shrapnel and prevent them from flowing into your heart through your blood vessels, but at the same time, toxins are also corroding your body."
Bant walked forward, extended his index finger, and tapped the reactor on his chest.
That's right, he came to Tony this time to discuss this deal.
Readers who often travel through time know that it is easy to get some benefits from Tony, such as Stark Group’s stocks, new elements...
Although it is not very original, who wouldn't want to do something that would allow them to get something for nothing?
Besides, even if Bant doesn’t make it, braised eggs can make it. In that case, I might as well do it myself!
Tony's face turned grim when his situation was exposed.
Being weak is one thing, being seen through is another. He felt like a lost person wandering in the desert of death, with vultures hovering above his head and hyenas watching him around.
If she died, could Pepper keep Stark Industries?
I’m afraid it’s difficult?
Tony thought, you know, even when Norman Osborn was alive, he almost lost his company.
"what do you want?"
So Tony asked bluntly.
Since it was a deal, it was obvious that Bant had what he wanted, and he naturally had to pay a price.
"A small favor, easy for you."
Bant was not in a hurry to tell his purpose, but was very considerate and stood on Stark's side.
"I know you don't like Osborn or biological science, so I won't tell you to use the self-healing potion."
Tony was a little surprised, but not surprised.
If Bant's method was potions, there would be no need to make a special trip.
After all, self-healing potions are now clearly priced commodities. If Tony wants to use them, he can just buy them directly. Why bother to trade with him?
So, he raised his eyebrows: "What is that?"
"New elements!"
