Marvel: My Luck Is A Hundred Million Points Better!

The crisp sounds of blacksmithing echoed in the small, dark cave.

At that moment, Tony Stark was staring intently at the steel helmet he was hammering in his hand, his eyes firm as if he were about to head into battle at any moment.

"Hurry up! They'll become suspicious if you take too long," Dr. Ethan urged in a low voice.

Tony Stark didn't reply, merely increasing the speed of his hammering.

As the two raced against time, a voice suddenly called out from behind them, "May I ask, where is this?"

At the sound of the voice, both Tony Stark and Dr. Ethan froze.

The cave fell eerily silent, and one could even hear the sound of rapid breathing.

After a moment, Tony Stark turned around stiffly and realized the speaker was a young man who looked like he had just come of age.

Looking at the young man warily, Tony Stark asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?!"

The young man replied politely, "Hello, my name is Luo Bai."

Tony Stark kept his guard up, continuing to question him, "Are you with them?!"

Luo Bai's face showed confusion, and he asked, "Who are they?!"

"Those terrorists outside," Tony Stark said, his eyes narrowing.

Luo Bai was taken aback and immediately denied, "Of course not! Do I look like a terrorist?!"

"Then how did you get in?!" Tony Stark pressed.

Luo Bai fell silent for a moment. After a pause, he hesitantly replied, "I... I appeared out of thin air like this. Do you believe that?"

Tony Stark: "??? "

Ethan: "???"

...

Luo Bai wasn't lying; he really had appeared out of thin air.

It wasn't due to some magical ability, but rather... time travel.

Can you believe he simply went downstairs to pick up a package, didn't get into a car accident or fall into a sewer, and actually traveled through time?!

At first, Luo Bai didn't believe it either.

After all, as a top student at Qingbei University, he had always believed in science.

It wasn't until he noticed that the scruffy uncle standing across from him looked exactly like the actor who played "Iron Man," Tony Stark, and even mentioned "terrorists," that Luo Bai began to suspect he had traveled through time.

As a loyal viewer of Marvel movies, this scene felt all too familiar. This was clearly the plot of "Iron Man 1"!

Tony Stark was attacked by terrorists and captured in a cave, ultimately creating his steel armor...

And here was this scruffy uncle holding a steel helmet!

Realizing he had truly entered the Marvel world, Luo Bai felt an overwhelming sense of dread.

Anyone with even a basic understanding of the Marvel universe knew that this was not a normal urban setting.

Terrorist attacks were just a small part of this world, which also faced massive disasters like alien invasions.

For Luo Bai, a college student who had never even held a gun, simply surviving in this world felt secondary.

The immediate concern was... how to escape the cave!

"System?!"

"Grandpa?!"

"Didn't you say that time travelers always have cheats?! Where's my cheat?!"

Luo Bai screamed inwardly.

Noticing his silence and the fierce expression on his face, Tony Stark finally asked, "Are you okay?!"

Fortunately, Luo Bai spoke decent English, so communication wasn't too difficult.

"I don't feel very good," Luo Bai admitted, frustrated.

"No one feels good about being trapped here," Tony Stark replied with a bitter smile.

Without waiting for Luo Bai to respond, he continued, "You mentioned you appeared out of thin air. What do you mean by that?"

Luo Bai wasn't sure how to explain his time travel, so he answered helplessly, "It's complicated, and I don't know how to explain it."

"No explanation?!" Tony Stark asked, skepticism lacing his tone.

Luo Bai sensed Tony's hostility and understood why.

Tony had been captured by terrorists and brought to this cave. After experiencing inhumane treatment, it was natural for him to doubt Luo Bai's intentions.

But if he wanted to get out of here, Luo Bai needed Tony Stark's help.

Thinking quickly, Luo Bai said, "Although my identity might seem suspicious, I assure you I'm not with those terrorists."

"How do you prove that?" Tony Stark questioned.

"No proof is necessary. If I were a terrorist, you would have already been exposed, wouldn't you?" Luo Bai argued.

At that moment, both Tony and Dr. Ethan were secretly crafting escape weapons.

If Luo Bai were truly a terrorist, they would have taken action as soon as he was discovered.

Could he still be chatting with them like this?

Tony Stark remained silent, but his expression indicated that he had relaxed his guard.

"Okay, you've convinced me. Since you're not a terrorist, why are you here? This isn't a good place to be," Tony Stark pressed.

Luo Bai sighed. "Honestly, I didn't want to end up here."

He had arrived in this cave the moment he traveled through time, with no choice in the matter.

"Tony, we're running out of time," Dr. Ethan interjected.

Tony Stark seemed ready to ask more, but Dr. Ethan's interruption made him reconsider.

Knowing they had little time left, Tony Stark suppressed his questions and resumed hammering the steel helmet in his hand.

Seeing that Tony no longer doubted him, Luo Bai finally exhaled in relief.

Yet he still couldn't fully relax, knowing a "hard battle" lay ahead.

Thinking about it, Luo Bai complained inwardly, "Please, I'm a time traveler. Don't tell me I really don't have a system?! No way, right?!"

He called out in his mind for about a minute.

When the sound of Tony Stark finishing his work still hadn't brought any response, Luo Bai confirmed that he indeed lacked a system.

This realization made him feel desperate, but what was even more alarming was that the terrorists seemed to have noticed something unusual in the cave.

Heavy banging and cursing echoed in the previously quiet cave, punctuated by the sounds of gunfire warnings.
