Luke had gained something from his experiments at Max's place.
At the very least, he had verified that Sticky Candy's ability reduced not only the sense of pain, but also the sense of pressure. There was not much difference in the degree of sensitivity.
This should be a good thing for many men, but it was hard to say whether it was good or bad for someone with extraordinary stamina recovery.
However, when it came to protecting his life, he couldn't ask for too much.
Remembering that Elementary Toughening, which required 80 Strength to learn, was an active ability, Luke rejoiced. Although it wasn't as convenient as Sticky Candy, at least he didn't have to worry about the friction.
…
After this not-so-leisurely holiday, Luke finally let Tamiya Ryoko out of Space 2.
This special highly intelligent parasite did not meet with anyone else in Space No. 2. The research was also limited to the parasite itself.
All the entrances and exits were in the hibernation box, so there was no risk of any leakage.
Luke then handed her over to Phil.
Looking at Tamiya Ryoko, who was about to get into the car, Luke reminded her, "Gather your compatriots as soon as possible. We'll kill every parasite we see."
Tamiya Ryoko stood still, turned around, and stared at him for a moment before bowing deeply. "I understand. I will do my best, Mr. Big Dipper."
In the past few months, with enough resources, she had developed a method to create a parasite as a food substitute.
At the very least, it was possible for parasites and humans to coexist, so she was truly grateful to Luke.
Phil looked at her in surprise. What kind of brainwashing technology is this? Even an alien creature like the parasite is obedient?
Although Big Dipper also said that Tamiya Ryoko had to come back for a checkup once a month, this was already very miraculous.
However, there was no need for him to talk to Seven Star in front of Tamiya Ryoko.
For the new S.H.I.E.L.D., Tamiya Ryoko and the parasites she might have gathered were just a group of hired thugs, or super scapegoats.
Some things that are inconvenient for the New SHIELD to do can be done by them. The New SHIELD only needs to send observers to monitor silently.
Phil was more concerned about Skye than this "tool beast".
He didn't care about the name of the Mutated Tribe.
There were always weirdos who believed that they were not human but a "race" chosen by the heavens.
In human society, white people also looked down on people of color. The situation was actually similar.
White people are not actually a race.
The most famous example is probably the Aryans, who did not regard the Jews as their own kind.
The other Yugoslav and Middle Eastern tribes were fighting against each other, and the two sides in the Second Mao Empire were fighting fiercely. No one felt that the other side was of the same clan.
Coupled with the various mixed-bloods in Europe, it was impossible to tell who was closer to whom by blood.
Skye's mother wanted to separate Skye from the human race by saying that she was from a different race. That was all there was to it.
Phil had seen a lot of people with superpowers who played this trick. In essence, it was not much different from a shoe cult and relied on deception.
He wouldn't care if her mother was happy or not if she caught his eye.
If mom's words were useful, then there wouldn't be so many mother-daughter family dramas in this world.
Unfortunately, according to the news from Big Dipper, Skye will not be in the mood to go to work at New SHIELD in a short time.
Phil had to be considerate of the hapless old man, Calvin.
He had been cheated by his wife who he had been thinking about day and night for more than ten years. This was not a blow that anyone could bear.
However, it was normal for good things to be harder to obtain.
He could wait patiently for Tamiya Ryoko for several months, so it was within his expectations to spend a year or two with Skye.
He would take advantage of this time to earn some brownie points, and it would be good to wait for Skye to mature a little more.
She was twenty now, and would only be twenty-two in two years, which happened to be the same age as most agents.
…
At the beginning of September, Tony suddenly found the Dark Knight. "There's news from Natasha that I think you might be interested in."
Luke's interest was piqued when he heard that.
Anything that could make the tycoon speak was definitely extraordinary.
"Just tell me," he said as he picked up his coffee and waited for an interesting story.
Tony sneered and threw away the welding machine in his hand before he walked to the villa on the ground. "Natasha has been investigating Hydra in Europe recently, and she found some clues. It seems that an organization called Cobra has something to do with Hydra."
Luke didn't say anything and waited quietly.
The tycoon was a little unhappy that he didn't have a supporting character, but he continued, "It's said that this organization is trying to buy a weapon from an unidentified arms company to make big news in front of the world."
Luke finally sat up straight and put down his coffee cup. Big news? That was probably going to be a major incident that would cause heavy casualties!
Satisfied, Tony wasn't in a hurry to continue. Instead, he walked to the bar.
Holding his right elbow with his left hand, he tapped his chin with his right hand as he murmured to himself, "Hm, what should I drink today?"
Luke smiled faintly. "Water from 450 million years ago is definitely suitable for you right now."
Tony turned around and stared at the virtual projection of the Dark Knight next to him. He suddenly clapped his hands. "That's a good suggestion. It's healthy enough."
As he spoke, he really did pick up a bottle of water from a certain mountain in Europe, opened the cap, and brought it to his mouth.
At that moment, his hand paused, and he stared at the virtual projection suspiciously. "Wait, do you know something?"
Luke's expression didn't change. "Of course."
Tony's expression changed drastically. "You …"
Luke, however, continued, "As a 38-year-old man, it's time for you to take care of yourself, or you'll get up three or four times every night."
Tony's face instantly darkened. "You're the one with a prostate problem."
But he was slightly relieved. At the very least, this was a normal mockery, and not someone spying on his private life.
Luke was still smiling faintly, but he mumbled to himself, Do you think I don't know that Pepper seems to be considering having a child? That chairwoman of mine is her best friend.
Of course, he wasn't spying on the tycoon's private life on purpose.
He could only blame his brain for being too smart. Jenny had mentioned Pepper's situation a few times when they were chatting.
Jenny didn't have much medical knowledge, and hadn't noticed anything unusual, but Luke had vaguely guessed that the topic about health and endocrinology was most likely related to pregnancy.
Now that he was testing the tycoon, the answer was obvious.
But no matter how smoothly things went, Tony wouldn't be a father until he was 39, and his children wouldn't be adults until he was almost 60.
Would a grandfatherly Iron Man be able to raise a brand-new second-generation Iron Man? It was an interesting topic, but it wasn't convenient to discuss it with Tony right now.
At the very least, he had to wait until Pepper was pregnant before he could properly show some concern for this "sister-in-law."
As the first "super second-generation" to be born, this little guy would definitely become the focus of a lot of attention.
It was likely that there would be a lot of people in the Avengers and Bat who wanted to be his or her godparents or godsisters.
Tony wasn't an easy person to get along with, so it was normal for other people to tease him.
