Child of Nature: "Then I'll send you five more?"
Child of Nature: "As for the payment, just send me one copy after you finish making the steel armor."
Child of Nature: "No need to load too many weapons. I'm just collecting it anyway."
Lighthouse Richest: "OK!"
Tony Stark replied casually.
"Ding, group member Natural Son has sent an exclusive red envelope."
"Ding, group member Lighthouse Richest has received your red envelope."
Child of Nature: "I compressed the spiritual energy into beads and added a protective layer outside. To use them, just swallow them."
Child of Nature: "For ordinary people, one bead is enough. It contains a lot of spiritual energy, so it takes time to digest."
Since spiritual energy is, in a sense, part of nature, Bai Xuan has some control over it. Condensing it into clusters or even compressing it into beads isn't difficult for him.
After all, he might trade with other group members in the future. Since it's trading, he naturally needs to prepare suitable items.
Spiritual energy beads are the easiest thing he can provide right now.
They are effective for all current group members—whether it's healing the body, extending lifespan, or strengthening physique.
Lighthouse Richest: "OK!"
Ordinary Group Leader: "@Child of Nature, you can actually compress spiritual energy into beads?! In cultivation novels, that requires very high cultivation, right?"
Ordinary Group Leader: "This is basically an artificial spirit stone!"
Even though Bai Xuan's world had only recently entered the spiritual revival phase, he already possessed such power?
Child of Nature: "Spirit stones? Now that you mention it, I didn't notice before. Essentially, they're both condensed spiritual energy. The difference is just the amount and impurities."
Child of Nature: "The beads I made should contain only pure spiritual energy, with no impurities. If converted to spirit stones, they'd probably be comparable to top-grade ones, though the total energy is much less."
He used his [Authority of Nature] to condense and compress spiritual energy. Unless impurities themselves are spiritual energy, they can't exist within it.
"Ding, group member Child of Nature sent nine red envelopes."
Child of Nature: "@All members, each red envelope contains three spiritual energy beads."
Child of Nature: "Although your strengths differ, this gentle power should be useful to all of you."
Child of Nature: "Especially the group leader and Da Gu—you two are the weakest, so they'll benefit you the most."
Child of Nature: "Headache…"
Child of Nature: "Oh right, the group leader is spiritually insulated. Even though I added a protective layer to help absorption, it might still not work well."
Child of Nature: "Also @Uchiha Dance King, spiritual energy should nourish the soul. Madara, you can try it."
Ordinary Group Leader: "Not sure if it'll work, but when I become powerful in the future, I'll take care of you, Bai Xuan."
Ordinary Group Leader: "So touched."
"Ding, the group leader grabbed your red envelope."
Turn Da Gu into Soup: "+1."
"Ding, group member Turn Da Gu into Soup grabbed your red envelope."
Worst Spirit: "Thanks."
"Ding, group member Worst Spirit grabbed your red envelope."
Be My Son: "Gurararara, I like you more and more, Bai Xuan. Interested in becoming my son?"
"Ding, group member Be My Son grabbed your red envelope."
Uchiha Dance King: "I'll remember this favor."
"Ding, group member Uchiha Dance King grabbed your red envelope."
Golden Flash: "Spiritual energy can nourish the body? Then it should help Kushina a lot."
"Ding, group member Golden Flash grabbed your red envelope."
That's How It Is, Meow: "Meow, Meowth, Musashi, and Kojiro can each take one, meow."
"Ding, group member That's How It Is, Meow grabbed your red envelope."
Dongfang Bubai: "I owe you another favor."
"Ding, group member Dongfang Bubai grabbed your red envelope."
Glory of the Northern God: "Woof woof."
And just like that, all nine red envelopes were gone.
Turn Da Gu into Soup: "Everyone said something before grabbing theirs. I just said '+1', feels embarrassing…"
Ordinary Group Leader: "@Lighthouse Richest, I'll send you what's about to happen to you."
Ordinary Group Leader: "You should finish building the steel armor soon."
"Ding, the group leader sent a memory copy."
One hour later, after watching the full memory copy of Iron Man 1, Tony's expression became complex and shocked.
He never expected Obadiah—someone he treated like an uncle—to betray him.
He trusted him deeply, even handing over most of Stark Industries' power. Obadiah had already made huge profits from selling weapons.
Yet he still wasn't satisfied—he even wanted to kill Tony and take over the company.
Heh.
If Tony hadn't already conceptualized and built the prototype of the steel armor, he would've died at the hands of those mercenaries.
Worst Spirit: "Ignoring the plot, the armor is pretty average."
Worst Spirit: "No wonder Bai Xuan only wants it as a collectible."
Based on what was shown, it's not even stronger than AST—actually, about the same. Easily dealt with.
Be My Son: "Comparable to Germa 66's tech, but still too weak. It couldn't even withstand a punch from me without using my Tremor-Tremor Fruit."
Uchiha Dance King: "Useless external power."
That's How It Is, Meow: "Interesting, meow. But not enough to catch Pokémon. Could be modified."
That's How It Is, Meow: "Turn it into a giant robot, meow!"
Lighthouse Richest: "???"
Lighthouse Richest: "This is just the earliest version of the armor, of course it's weak!"
Lighthouse Richest: "But with some optimization and better materials, its power can increase several times over!"
Lighthouse Richest: "Don't underestimate the power of technology!"
Tony had a vein popping on his forehead.
And seriously—people from manga talking so casually… Is cheating in anime and cheating in reality even comparable?!
