17: Shocking! Iron Man in Broad Daylight...

It turns out that the world of Oasis is irresistible. Iron Man is no exception.

Tony Stark's first venture into "Oasis" lasted a full eleven hours. By the time the system forcibly kicked him out of the game due to hunger, dawn had already arrived. Yet, he was still brimming with excitement.

"I'm interested in this deal."

With his eyes filled with excitement, Tony focused on Lynn. He noticed that he didn't feel tired but rather energized, as if he had slept soundly all night. It was a feeling more akin to being well-rested than staying up all night.

This surprised him even more. Resting his body and mind while gaming?!

"Are you sure?"

Lynn had slept peacefully on the luxurious sofa throughout the night. Upon hearing Tony's words, he stretched his waist and replied, "Don't think too much about it. After all, Stark Industries is in the arms business. Lyn, I may be a playboy, but I'm not a fool!"

Tony rolled his eyes. "A completely real second world where ordinary people can experience various joys of life, and ambitious individuals can wield extraordinary power within it, turning it into their dream world..."

"I don't think there's anyone in this world who can reject 'Oasis.' It's a groundbreaking invention. Once it's released, it will undoubtedly sweep the world."

"At that time, technology companies in the second world will make far more money than our arms sales. For Stark Industries, it's an opportunity to earn a substantial amount of money..."

"Why not?"

With that said, Tony composed himself and looked at Lynn seriously. "I accept all three of the conditions you mentioned. Additionally, Stark Industries' factories, production lines, and transportation networks around the world can be shared... How many shares can you offer me?"

"Ten percent."

Lynn responded without hesitation.

Tony didn't immediately grasp the implications. "Ten percent...?"

"That's correct, ten percent!"

Lynn's expression showed no signs of joking. "My first partner invested 100 million dollars and a skyscraper, and they only received 10% of the shares."

Tony fell silent.

From a business standpoint, this offer was clearly unacceptable to him. However, upon further reflection...

Lynn had actually developed artificial intelligence technology, but Alice's level of intelligence wasn't on par with Jarvis.

Regarding the brand-new Arc Reactor, Tony wouldn't have been able to find a new element to replace it if Lynn hadn't told him.

The position of Chief Experience Officer... didn't seem necessary, did it?

In this cooperation, what he was truly being compensated for was only the Stark Group's production and transportation lines?

In that case, a 10% share wasn't a disadvantage.

"Alright, ten percent it is!"

Tony exhaled slowly.

As soon as he agreed, he faintly felt that something was amiss. "With such a fantastic deal, no consortium in the world would refuse. Why did you come to me?"

It's because your potential exceeds your imagination. Lynn's thoughts flashed.

Iron Man possessed technological power ahead of its time and could cause immense casualties with a single thought. To some extent, it wasn't much different from mutants...

But why hadn't any congressmen proposed a bill against Iron Man? Why was Iron Man still idolized by the masses?

Why was Tony so dismissive, never giving in to politicians, even walking away unscathed from official hearings? It was all because of his position as the CEO of Stark Industries!

As a global arms conglomerate, Stark Industries had extensive connections within the military and political circles of various countries. Simultaneously, they maintained favorable relationships with numerous media outlets, exertinfluence, and controlled public opinion as a matter of routine.

Most importantly, as the world's leading arms company, who knows how many congressmen, politicians, and military generals had skeletons in their closets? This granted Stark Industries the power of influence!

While media outlets worldwide were decrying mutants as a significant threat to human security, who would dare claim that Iron Man posed a danger to global safety?

Therefore, obtaining a 10% stake in exchange for Stark Industries becoming a shareholder of the Second World was an incredible business opportunity!

"Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

With the contract signed, the collaboration officially began.

For the next period of time, Lynn and the girls would be residing in Stark Tower.

On one hand, they would exchange artificial intelligence technology with Tony.

Additionally, Lynn awaited Tony's research on new elements to replace the palladium element in the Arc Reactor and create an entirely new reactor.

This was crucial because it was needed to power the "Oasis" server—replicating a virtual world indistinguishable from reality and accommodating players from around the globe. The server's load capacity was unprecedented, and conventional energy sources couldn't support it.

In the movies, it was mentioned that the super-sized reactor constructed by Tony, based in Stark Tower, could supply power to the entire Twist City for a year.

Undoubtedly, it was the most suitable energy source for the "Oasis" world!.

While Tony delved into researching new elements, Lynn assigned Kitty and Jubilee a new task: "The Chief Experience Officer is already in place, so it's time to focus on promoting 'Oasis'."

Three days later, the internet was suddenly flooded with countless posts about Iron Man.

"Shocking! The renowned Iron Man did such..... in broad daylight".
