Chapter: 153

"Hey, Mark! When did you arrive?" Tony, who was originally focused on his preparations, looked up and saw Mark standing at the door.

"I have something to discuss with you, but since you're experimenting with the new suit, it's a good opportunity for me to observe as well. We can talk about my matter later," Mark explained to Tony.

"That's right, you should witness the latest invention by the great Tony Stark! It will surely surprise you.

Alright, JARVIS—implant the neural amplification chip into the back of my neck."

"As you wish, sir. I have also prepared a detailed safety manual for you to ignore," JARVIS joked while controlling a mechanical arm, implanting a chip the size of a grain of rice into the back of Tony's neck.

Such work could never be entrusted to a Dum-E unless Tony had gone mad.

At this moment, Tony had not been psychologically scarred by the Battle of New York. He had completely removed the remaining shrapnel from his chest, indicating that his mental state was healthier than ever before.

"Alright, the experiment officially begins. Mark, you better stand back to avoid getting hurt.

Dum-E, start recording with the camera and include the time and date watermark."

With the energetic music playing, Tony twisted his body while simultaneously focusing his mind—his left hand extended.

Responding to Tony's telekinetic command, the forearm and hand armor of his left arm's gauntlet activated the auto-propulsion system and accurately flew towards Tony's right hand, attaching itself.

Next, the automatic attachment of the right hand gauntlet was tested, and the effect was excellent—precise recognition and a successful attachment on the first attempt.

Two consecutive successes boosted Tony's confidence. "Alright, since it's going so well, let's go all in!"

With a thought from Tony, the leg armor of his right leg was summoned and immediately flew over, completing the automatic attachment. However, the helmet, which followed too quickly, directly collided with Tony's head due to its excessive speed.

Tony quickly moved his head back and used his already attached left forearm armor to block this "pleasant surprise."

"Maybe it's a bit too fast. Can't we slow it down a bit? Can't we be a little more gentle?" Tony, realizing the danger, didn't dare to continue risking it and quickly called for a halt.

However, it seemed that calling for a stop was already too late. Perhaps the system debugging hadn't been done properly. The remaining components of the suit continued to execute Tony's previous command, ignoring the recent order.

Each component continued to fly towards Tony at a relatively fast pace, one after another, and then attached itself. However, each attachment came with a heavy inertia impact, repeatedly jolting Tony's body.

When the armor piece near his groin was attaching itself, even Mark couldn't help but shrug his shoulders and tighten his legs, as if he could imagine the sensation of satisfaction Tony was experiencing at that moment.

At this moment, after the rapid attachment of the suit, only the previously failed helmet remained. "Come on, I'm not afraid of you—"

Facing the deformed trajectory of the helmet component, Tony seized the opportunity and executed a side flip. As the helmet perfectly attached itself, Tony landed steadily in the iconic Iron Man pose. "I'm the best!"

Just as he finished speaking, the previously overlooked, genuine final piece from behind Tony directly collided with him.

Caught off guard, Tony was sent forward in a somersault upon impact, ending with a unique backward landing—resembling a graceful swan dive with his butt facing backward.

"Sir, watching you work always brings me joy," JARVIS's teasing voice sounded, causing a vein to pop on Tony's forehead as he lay on the ground.

Meanwhile, Mark, who had been watching as an audience member, suppressed his laughter and squatted by the wall, clutching his stomach.

"Alright, today's experiment ends here. It seems I still need to make improvements to the command system," Tony said angrily as he forcefully removed the helmet component from his body and slammed it onto the test bench.

"It's not just the command system that needs improvement, I think you should use a more stable pulse thruster for the suit's propulsion system instead of the current ion flow thruster.

The connection structure should also be replaced with my newly improved tri-axis servo system instead of the current dual-axis system."

"Got it, got it, annoying!"

Tony, feeling a bit embarrassed by Mark's remarks, responded a few times before quickly changing the subject. "There must be something important if you've come to see me. Once you start researching, you forget about everything else. How could you suddenly make the time to come over?"

"It seems your level of seriousness is no less than mine. It seems you haven't even had time to pay attention to the news lately..."

As Mark spoke, his words suddenly paused because in one corner of the laboratory, he noticed something very familiar.

In a small glass bottle, there were several irregular blue-green fragments—none other than the remaining shrapnel Mark had helped Tony remove from his chest six months ago.

Then his speech came to a halt, and he lifted his head, casting Tony a gaze of resentment mixed with disdain, as if saying, "You still haven't dealt with this?"
